Unity Heaven Art
"Old Wang, don't panic. There's always a way," Yang Chenglu said.
Wang Ling took a deep breath, and his emotions completely calmed down.
"Now that the path of Unity Heaven Art is also blocked, I need to think carefully about what to do next."
Yang Chenglu nodded slightly and shone his light on Lin Qing: "Lin Qing, this time you have made great contributions to the Soul-Calming Office and the entire Shichuan Prefectural City. You deserve a great reward. After discussing with the Eight Executives, I have decided to bestow upon you a piece of Treasured Armor, a fine horse, and a thousand taels of silver. You may choose any rare treasure from the Inner Treasury. In addition, you will be one of the Chief Candidate."
"Thank you, Commissioner Yang," Lin Qing said, bowing.
"Are you satisfied with this arrangement? If not, please let me know. As long as your request isn't unreasonable, I can fulfill it!" Yang Chenglu said.
"Extremely satisfied. I don't need to choose that rare treasure anymore. I want a Five-Saints Soul-Nourishing Pill," Lin Qing said.
"Alright, it's settled then. You can focus on recovering during this time. I'll send someone to deliver all the rewards to you later," Yang Chenglu said.
After giving his instructions, Yang Chenglu did not linger and turned to leave with Wang Ling.
Lin Qing was left alone in the room. He suppressed his excitement and, with a thought, chose to absorb Gu Jialuo's soul.
In that instant, his brain jolted, a tearing pain shot through him, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind, seemingly exceeding his body's capacity to handle it all at once. This caused him to feel dizzy, his senses to become disordered, and he felt as if he was about to faint.
Suddenly, a message appeared in front of him.
"The quality of the absorbed soul is too different from that of the host's soul. Should we seal the memories?"
"Seal off!"
With a thought, Lin Qing's memories vanished from his mind in an instant, and many images disappeared like smoke.
Lin Qing gasped for breath, and it took him a while to recover.
"Just who was this mysterious powerhouse who perished in Blood Valley? His corpse transformed into Evil Spirits, and the blood energy he emitted could cause such a large-scale Blood Calamity. He could create a forbidden area out of thin air, and even after so many years since his death, I still cannot absorb his soul. It's truly terrifying."
However, this also allowed him to discover a new function of the Rebirth Record: when the intensity of the absorbed soul is too high, the memories can be sealed, and the soul can accept the memory infusion again when it can withstand it in the future.
The next moment, a lot of information appeared in front of him, which was the martial arts skills of this person in his lifetime.

1. Unity Heaven Art (Major Mastery)
Originating from an unknown land, this supreme divine skill is of the sixth rank and golden color. It can contain all kinds of power and its strength can reach the divine. One can enter the realm of True Astral Force, achieve True Essence by mastering a thousand Minor Mastery, achieve Yuan Gang by mastering ten thousand kinds of Major Mastery, and reach Perfect Mastery above ten thousand kinds of power.
With this divine skill, one can break through the limits of martial arts. Upon entering the realm, one can unleash the Unity Force, a power that is ever-changing and unfathomable.
2. Diamond Warrior (Peerless)
Sixth-tier golden physique, a once-in-a-century occurrence, a chosen one. Martial Artist with this physique possess a body like a Vajra Demon Ape, innate divine strength, and indestructible skin, flesh, and bones.
3. Thousand-Mile Divine Movement (Perfect Mastery)
The fifth-tier supreme martial art is the supreme skill passed down by the top sects in the world. When mastered to Perfect Mastery, it allows one to travel thousands of miles a day, and is as rare as a dragon whose head is seen but whose tail is not.
4. Arc Moon (Major Mastery)
A fifth-tier supreme-grade Saber Art, passed down in a mysterious land. Its blade light is like Arc Moon, its trajectory is unpredictable, and its divine power is unfathomable.
Upon seeing this information, Lin Qing took a deep breath; he could no longer imagine how powerful Gu Jialuo must have been.
This person randomly picked out a martial art, and it was all of the fifth rank. The highest-ranking martial art he possessed was only the Tathagata Fist Manual, which was also only Fourth Tier famous item.
The complexity of Fourth Tier martial arts is already astonishing. Even without mastering the basics, just mastering some of the scattered moves can greatly benefit Martial Artist.
Based on this, how exaggerated would the increase in combat power be once a fifth-tier martial art is mastered?
Of course, what excited him the most was the Unity Heaven Art, a sixth-level divine skill that he had already Major Mastery.
The Major Mastery is the attainment of myriad strengths, which also signifies entering the Origin Astral Realm.
Lin Qing felt a surge of excitement; it seemed he was about to rise to the top in one step. After all, the strongest Martial Artist in Shichuan Prefectural City was only at the Origin Astral Realm.
However, the quality of the martial arts they practice is definitely not as good as the Unity Heaven Art. Therefore, if Lin Qing uses the Unity Heaven Art to enter the Origin Astral Realm, he will immediately become the strongest person in the Prefectural City.
Without hesitation, he directly copied the Unity Heaven Art and immediately placed it into his Equipment Slot.
In that instant, a flood of information appeared in his mind—the complete manual for the Unity Heaven Art.
This information was enormous, and Lin Qing was so engrossed in it that he lost track of time, trying his best to memorize and digest every detail.
After receiving the last message, he suddenly woke up to find that it was already dark outside.
Before he knew it, he had become completely absorbed in it for a full five hours.
And this was just the beginning, because he finally learned that Gu Jialuo had integrated more than 11,000 different kinds of energy to Major Mastery this divine skill.
He needs to gradually inherit each type of force, up to eleven thousand.
When the number of inherited skills reaches one hundred, they can be merged into Unity Force, which marks the beginning of the path.
This was obviously a long process, but Lin Qing thought again that if he relied on himself to practice and accumulate all kinds of strength, it might take a hundred years or a thousand years to achieve it.
This may seem like a long process, but in reality, it has reduced the study time to one-thousandth of the normal amount.
As he pondered, his blood and qi surged within him, rushing towards a certain acupoint on his left arm. The first type of force he inherited began, and his physique started to transform.
"The first type of force is called Thunderclap Force. Its effect is to make the lungs produce a sound like thunder, and greatly increase endurance."
Lin Qing was processing the constant influx of information, while his vital energy was being rapidly depleted.
An hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, and found that he had mastered the first kind of force, and his strength seemed to have increased by seven or eight thousand catties.
But then, the next transformation begins, and a large amount of blood and energy surges towards a certain acupoint on the left shoulder.
Lin Qing suddenly felt a sense of weakness in his body. He hurriedly swallowed an Essence-Replenishing Pills that he carried with him. After a while, the medicine took effect, and new Qi and blood were generated, and the feeling of weakness subsided.
Therefore, whenever he felt his qi and blood were depleted, he would swallow a pill.
He struggled until dawn, inheriting three kinds of internal energy, far from reaching the Unity Heaven Art Technique. However, he could no longer continue because he had run out of pills, and he felt an unprecedented hunger.
"Someone come here!"
He shouted, and a maid walked in from outside the door.
"Constable Chief Lin, what are your orders?"
"I want to eat. Arrange it quickly, the more the better!" Lin Qing said loudly.
"Yes!"
After the maid left, Lin Qing quickly removed the Unity Heaven Art from his Equipment Slot.
"It seems my need for pills will increase dramatically. As long as I keep consuming pills, I will soon become Origin Astral Realm Martial Artist, surpassing all the heroes in the Prefectural City."
"However, Wang Ling's wish is going to be completely dashed. The rumors are false. The Unity Force does not have the ability to transform a person. Its effect is to imitate and strengthen any kind of fused force, hence its ever-changing nature," Lin Qing pondered.
