Inheritance

The Five Elements Hall.

Several True Disciple were drinking tea in a side hall that only True Disciple could enter.

As soon as Fang Yu entered, he was greeted by a series of friendly glances.

The news of his emergence from the third level of the Heart-Questioning Cave had already spread throughout the Ascension Immortal Sect. After all, in the past 30,000 years, only a hundred or so True Disciple had emerged from there, and a large portion of them had left a significant mark on the sect.

Fang Yu exchanged a few pleasantries with these True Disciple, then apologized and went to the bookshelves in the side hall.

The True Disciple of Five Elements Peak are not stored in a special place; they are simply placed in this area where the True Disciple gather daily, and they can freely browse through the various True Disciple Cultivation Method on it.

Fang Yu's first find was "The Great Daoyan Five Elements Chaos True Explanation". The complete version was available here, without the division into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment and other sections. The entire text could be viewed, and the highest level one could cultivate to was the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection.

Fang Yu's eyes were fixed intently as he picked up the manual and began reading it at the desk beside him.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of pages turning, Fang Yu couldn't help but smile.

From the time he first entered the sect until now, thirty-five years have passed, and he has finally obtained one of the eight True Disciple of the Ascension Immortal Sect. From now on, he will no longer have to worry about the subsequent Cultivation Method.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Fang Yu put the manual he had repeatedly studied back on the bookshelf and glanced at the inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

Because of the unique characteristics of the Five Elements Peak's Cultivation Method, one can cultivate all kinds of immortal arts. Therefore, there are various inheritances of immortal arts here, all of which are at the fourth level. Any one of these inheritances could cause a bloody struggle among Rogue Cultivator. But here, they are just ordinary booklets.

After retrieving the inheritances of Dao of Alchemy and Dao of Arrays, Fang Yu returned to his desk to continue examining them.

During this time, quite a few True Disciple came to greet him, and some even asked him why he didn't participate in the True Disciple Ceremony. Fang Yu simply responded with a few words, explaining that he was dedicated to studying Dao of Alchemy, and gradually no one came to disturb him anymore.

Several months later, Fang Yu finally finished reading the inheritances of Dao of Alchemy and Dao of Arrays formation. After that, he took out the inheritances of weapon crafting and spirit talisman and began to examine them.

Time flies, and a year had passed by the time he had memorized and understood both of these inheritances.

After returning the inheritance, Fang Yu did not touch any of the other inheritances and walked straight out.

Now that you've obtained the Danfu array equipment and the four inheritances closely related to ' External Alchemy Technique ', don't be greedy for more.

Once he has digested all of this, his ' Molten Edge Flow ' Divine Ability will be complete. At that time, with two Divine Ability in his body, he will have the confidence to return to the Dao of Qi Ingestion and seek the next innate Divine Ability.

As soon as Fang Yu stepped out of the Five Elements Hall, the disciple token at his waist began to vibrate.

He scanned the area with his Divine Sense and saw a series of briefings being pushed out from inside the door:

[Yan Wushuang, a newly recruited outer disciple of the Five Elements Peak, possesses the unique Spirit Root of Wind and has become a disciple of Elder Xuanzhu.]

[The Nine-Lock Lotus Platform Secret Realm is about to open. Applications for the Herb Planter quest are now open, with priority given to Third-Tier Alchemist.]

[The Primordial Devil Sect's territory has been cleared. Nascent Soul elders can apply to establish their own sects and guard this area.]

[The newly appointed Holy Maiden of the Desolate Fire Divine Sect, ' Huang Man,' has taken control of the Divine Fire Token and is traveling throughout the Eastern Lands. Those who are True Disciple of the various lineages must proceed with caution when venturing out.]

[The election for the new leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is about to begin. Lu De has announced his advancement to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection, making him the strongest contender for the next leader.]

[The "Diting" sect has released its latest Eastern Lands Heaven's Chosen Ranking. Seven of its True Disciple have entered the top 100: 31st: Liu Ruyan, 76th: Yang Zhan... 89th: Zhang Zhonghu, 99th: Jiang Yao.]

[...]

Fang Yu browsed through the sect's newsletters, which were only available to True Disciple, quickly learning about some of the major events that had recently occurred outside.

The brief message contained important information from both within and outside the sect. For example, the newly recruited disciple, Yan Wushuang, was someone to watch closely. He possessed a unique Spirit Root, and it was possible that in eight or ten years, he would advance to the level of True Disciple, or perhaps he would perish and his cultivation would dissipate.

The most noteworthy information from the outside world is what the nine great immortal sects of the Eastern Lands have to offer. Fang Yu wasn't interested in things like holy maidens or alliance leaders, but he was quite interested in the ' Diting's' list of prodigies.

He wasn't upset about being ranked second to last, but rather interested in the organization ' Diting '.

This is a massive organization without a sect, specializing in selling all kinds of intelligence and information. They claim to have connections to the highest heavens and the deepest hells, and as long as you pay enough Spirit Stone, there is no information you can't buy.

The various lists it releases are proof of its terrifying intelligence-gathering ability. It is said that the eight major immortal sects, including the Ascension Immortal Sect, once joined forces to eliminate ' Diting ', but failed. Instead, Diting exposed the secrets of many Nascent Soul monsters and even Spirit Transformation giants, prompting the Spirit Transformation giants to personally take action to annihilate it.

However, in just over a century, Diting rose from the ashes and reappeared. In less than a thousand years, it once again became one of the nine great immortal sects. This shows how strong the vitality of this organization is. Even the Spirit Transformation giants could not completely eradicate it.

Fang Yu felt that this Diting Organization must not only collect intelligence through ordinary means, but may also have cultivated Cultivation Method similar to the ' Spiritual Pivot Resonance Chapter ', otherwise how could they so easily find out what was happening inside the various immortal sects?

"If there's an opportunity in the future, I might consider getting in touch with this Diting Organization!"

Fang Yu murmured something, composed himself, and returned to his cave abode.

From afar, he saw a large number of communication talismans gathered in front of the cave abode, along with various congratulatory gifts carried by the people.

His Divine Sense stirred, and he collected them one by one, entered the cave abode, and sat down at the tea table.

After brewing a pot of tea, he slowly began to sort through the congratulatory gifts that had been delivered to his door.

Although he did not participate in the True Disciple Ceremony, the number of people giving gifts was still the same. Many of them were those who had previously advanced to the Golden Core stage, in addition to some Golden Core disciples whose names he had only heard of, and some True Disciple.

With his newfound status, more people were willing to befriend him, and his social standing also improved. This time, the number of Golden Core disciples who sent gifts was several times higher than the last time.

If Fang Yu had participated in the True Disciple Ceremony held within the peak, the number of participants would certainly have increased several times over.

However, Fang Yu had already basically achieved his goal within the Ascension Immortal Sect, and now it was time to quietly become True Disciple.

He naturally wouldn't participate in occasions like the Grand Ceremony of True Disciple.

Moreover, aside from the junior cultivators he has trained himself, he will not deliberately befriend other True Disciple, nor will he try to win over Golden Core disciples, let alone Nascent Soul elders.

After working hard for over thirty years, he finally obtained the True Disciple Cultivation Method he wanted. Now, he can focus on cultivating in peace and quiet, improving his cultivation level. As for things like vying for power, forming cliques, and competing for the position of senior disciple in the lower realm, he has absolutely no interest in them.

From this day forward, I shall be nothing more than a backdrop to the Five Elements Peak.
