Wei Zhong floated in the air, a ray of bright light flying out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a book in front of him.
The book's exterior was a simple, thread-bound volume, with the four large characters "Time Treasure Record" written on the cover.
Wei Zhong looked at this "Time Treasure Record" and immediately understood that this was the root of his transmigration and the reason he could spend lifespan to change his fate.
Before Wei Zhong could react, the book had already opened, showing the image of an infant lying in the arms of a young woman, crying.
'Is this my past life?'
Looking at the scenes presented on the Treasure Record, all were items unique to that world.
One image finished, then the next, with Wei Zhong holding onto a wall, taking unsteady steps to learn to walk.
Then came kindergarten, elementary school, and all the subsequent ages and experiences, in the blink of an eye playing through Wei Zhong's entire past life.
Until it stopped on the day he was working, when the picture suddenly glitched.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the small courtyard outside the Yan Family's Spirit Field, exchanging lifespan, killing the unfilial disciple...
Everything he had experienced since coming to this cultivation world was presented within, stopping here in this high tower.
Then, the Treasure Record closed, carrying Wei Zhong's body, and floated towards the dome above.
Wei Zhong's figure began to merge into the dazzling light.
Once Wei Zhong's figure disappeared, the light within the high tower also vanished without a trace, everything returning to the way it was when Wei Zhong entered.
And all of this, those outside had no way of knowing.
If Lu Yibin were tracking Wei Zhong, he might have been able to see a trace, but at this moment, guarding the mine, he was completely unaware.
Wei Zhong felt his eyes covered by a strong light and couldn't help but close them. When he opened them again, he was in an unfamiliar place.
The Time Treasure Record merged into Wei Zhong's brow, and Wei Zhong touched it, unable to find any trace of it.
'Is my realm still not high enough?'
He didn't know what level of treasure it was, but his Qi Refining cultivation was not even enough to detect it.
Wei Zhong sighed regretfully and looked around, exclaiming in surprise:
"This is, a Grotto-heaven?"
Wei Zhong was standing at the entrance of a small courtyard. Above his head, an artificial "sun" made of Magical Artifacts cast light, illuminating the Grotto-heaven.
"What rich Spirit Qi."
Wei Zhong felt as if he were in a paradise filled with Spirit Qi, he had never felt such rich Spirit Qi before.
This Grotto-heaven even came with a Spirit Vein, which surprised Wei Zhong greatly. Unfortunately, his realm was too low to see the Spirit Vein's rank.
Surrounding him were some barren Spirit Fields, the Spirit Plants in the fields had long since withered, leaving only a decaying, tall Spirit Tree, on which grew several Spirit Mushrooms, precisely the Jade Marrow Mushrooms that Wei Zhong had been searching for.
The oldest of them was over five hundred years old, and almost the entire Spirit Mushroom was about to turn into jade.
There were eight with three hundred to five hundred years of age, and more than a dozen with lower ages.
Wei Zhong was delighted, never expecting to obtain so many Jade Marrow Mushrooms here. Now he wouldn't have to worry about the Spirit Herbs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Not only that, but there was also a great surplus. If these spirit mushrooms were taken outside to sell, who knows how many Spirit Stones they would fetch? Wei Zhong's wealth would probably increase several times over.
Of course, Wei Zhong wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Even a single 'Jade Marrow Mushroom' is rare outside. If he rashly took out so many, and of such high quality, he would simply be asking for death.
Without hurrying to pick them, Wei Zhong stepped into the small courtyard.
The small courtyard had no array protection, looking like an ordinary courtyard. Wei Zhong pushed the door open and entered.
There were two flowerbeds in the courtyard, indicating that the previous owner was also someone who loved cultivating spirit plants.
Walking through the front yard and into the house, the first thing he saw was a hall, which seemed to be used for entertaining guests. On the left was a Cultivation Room, which contained a desk with two jade slips and a palm-sized black stone on it.
Wei Zhong approached and picked up the leftmost jade slip, placing it against his forehead. Instantly, he began to read the information within.
"My name is Bai He, I have cultivated for a thousand years..."
The jade slip recorded a first-person account of a senior named Bai He, who came from humble beginnings and cultivated arduously all the way to the Spirit Transformation stage.
He was an absolute grand cultivator in this human realm. With just one more step, he could undergo tribulation and ascend to the higher Spirit World.
However, just as he was preparing for his ascension, the human realm was suddenly invaded by the demon and monster races from across realms.
As a Spirit Transformation cultivator, a pillar of the human realm, he had no choice but to put aside his ascension and, together with other Spirit Transformation cultivators, lead the human race in resisting the invasion of the two races.
The war between the two sides lasted for a hundred years. Finally, more than one hundred and thirty years after their invasion of this realm, the great battle completely erupted.
This final battle lasted for six years. Although the human race won the final victory, driving the demon and monster races back to their old homes, they themselves suffered heavy losses.
At that time, the major sects almost had their lineages wiped out, and even the top combat power of the human realm was almost completely wiped out. Although this Senior Bai He managed to survive by luck, he still suffered extremely serious injuries.
Thus, he left behind a legacy in this Grotto-heaven, and then left to find a way to heal his injuries.
But once he left, he never returned.
Wei Zhong sighed. He never thought that the human realm had such a story in the past. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was probably a legacy issue from that time.
Picking up the other jade slip, as expected, it contained a cultivation method.
Spring Autumn Water Refining Art
Wei Zhong read it through and found that this cultivation method included all realms from Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation.
According to the human realm's division of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks, Foundation Establishment corresponds to Yellow Rank, Core Formation to Profound Rank, Nascent Soul to Earth Rank, and Spirit Transformation to Heaven Rank.
This Spring Autumn Water Refining Art is undoubtedly a Heaven Rank cultivation method.
Moreover, not only that, in Senior Bai He's notes, it was also written that this method was a Spirit World inheritance. He only had the upper and middle parts in his hands, and the lower part could directly point to the Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Great Ascension realms.
If future generations were to learn this method, they could seek the subsequent methods after ascending to the Spirit World.
He also said that this method far surpassed the methods of the mortal realm, and even speculated that its upper limit might be far more than Great Ascension, and there might be subsequent immortal methods, which were the methods cultivated by true immortals.
Wei Zhong was shocked by his description. He was just a Qi Refining cultivator, and he had not even glimpsed Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, so how could he ask for more?
However, after reading through the entire article, Wei Zhong understood that he had made a great profit.
With one lucky encounter, he obtained a method that could be cultivated all the way to Spirit Transformation. He would no longer have to worry about cultivation methods.
Originally, Wei Zhong was planning to start looking for a cultivation method to replace Azure Wave Art after Foundation Establishment, but now he didn't have to bother.
The jade slip not only contained cultivation methods but also various accompanying techniques and secret arts, a cursory glance at which left Wei Zhong extremely excited.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "The Azurewood Sect really wasted having control over this Secret Realm for so many years. The inheritance has been left here for who knows how long, and it still ended up in my hands."
The inheritance isn't finished yet; the rest will be posted this afternoon. That stone is the key point.
