Chapter 6

It seems that DianNiang (a platform or system) clearly chooses the subscription amount based on one's balance.

As a result, although there is still some left, it is only a very small part!

He asked with a glimmer of hope, "Can I subscribe to a part of it first?"

【Theoretically, subscribing to only a part would raise suspicion of reading pirated content, so please subscribe to the whole to read.】

"I would need to be able to see the pirated content too!"

Su Xian roared in anger.

DianNiang, seemingly oblivious to Su Xian's resentment, asked, 【Would you like to subscribe?】

"Subscribe!"

Su Xian sighed. Qidian coins, after all, are meant to be used, right? Using them also counts as spending, which earns experience points. Plus, the additional cultivation techniques received are not entirely without benefit.

Immediately, 4000 Qidian coins were deducted, and he watched helplessly as his balance plummeted to just above three digits... This was a gift from ancient times, and he had just squandered it all.

His consciousness sank back into the dark space.

Then, he saw...

A magnificent sect.

Mountains floating like clouds in the sky, connected by bright silver chains, and in the air, countless people sitting cross-legged, suspended in mid-air.

These people included men, women, rugged-faced elders, and innocent children!

Everyone faced the warm morning sun, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... not in the gentle manner he was used to, but as if devouring it, gulping down large amounts of spiritual energy into their bodies, then converting it into true essence.

Tens of thousands of people simultaneously formed powerful true essence vortexes.

The powerful true essence vortex enveloped the entire sect, radiating brilliance that illuminated all directions, even overpowering the sun itself...

Su Xian was stunned as he watched.

He watched the flow of true essence within their bodies.

True essence flow... analyzed!

Cultivation technique secrets... understood!

Subtle taboos... comprehended!

...

He was stunned as he watched these tens of thousands of people, listening to the leader recite profound incantations.

Not much different from the Guiyuan Technique, but a hundred times more profound.

And in its finer details, it was like the difference between the sea and a river, far beyond mere words.

Although he was in a spiritual world, Su Xian strangely sensed a change in his body...

The true essence in his body was instinctively changing its path.

It was not active cultivation, but rather an instinctive response to the original Guiyuan Technique, which far surpassed the simplified version he had been practicing, causing his body to instinctively alter its cultivation path.

At this moment...

The scene suddenly shifted, and Su Xian saw the old man muttering, "Hmm, cultivators are almost the most powerful type of practitioners, and they are also extremely versatile. Their martial cultivation can rival warriors and fighters, their magical cultivation is no less powerful than mages, and their equipment cultivation can match advanced modern weapons. Unfortunately, the entry barrier is too high, and the base cannot expand. Over time, they will likely be surpassed by others. We must find a way to allow ordinary people to join... Hmm, ordinary people's spirits are too fragile to withstand a large influx of spiritual energy. We need to weaken it and consider the limits of what ordinary people can endure. Once they reach the minimum limit, we can then teach them the complete cultivation technique. Although it's troublesome... sigh... I have a long time, so I'll take it slowly..."

Then...

The space-time changed again.

He pondered for countless years, taking many detours... but ultimately succeeded.

The Guiyuan Technique was weakened to adapt to everyone's cultivation.

Su Xian opened his eyes again.

This time, he paid special attention to the time...

Indeed, although it seemed like a long time had passed in the consciousness space, in reality, only a second had passed.

And the Guiyuan Technique...

"Xuantian Sect?"

Su Xian muttered, realizing that the cultivation technique he had been practicing originated from a sect called Xuantian Sect... their orthodox technique was weakened and spread throughout the entire True Water Star.

Now, through DianNiang's subscription function, he had successfully uncovered everything about the original technique.

Entry extremely difficult? I have already practiced the weakened version for at least ten years, and now the fit is perfect.

Unable to comprehend? Ha, I witnessed the entire process from its creation to its glory, and even know exactly how it was weakened. My understanding of this technique might even surpass that of its creator.

For example...

"Hmm?! The true essence is flowing on its own? That saves me a lot of trouble."

A calm smile appeared on Su Xian's face, or rather, it was due to his deep understanding of the true essence within his body.

Although he spent all his Qidian coins, subscribing to the cultivation technique he was practicing was indeed the right decision.

This is the foundation.

He sat cross-legged and quickly circulated the true essence within his body...

Although it was his first time, it was not as strenuous as using thunderfire before. Instead, it was effortless, and the true essence responded like an extension of his body. The speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly increased by more than ten times.

Like a long-broken bridge finally finding a path, a withered tree encountering water.

The true essence within his body, long suppressed, finally transmitted a desperate craving...

This was a craving suppressed for over a decade.

A craving for spiritual energy.

"Then let's go!"

Su Xian growled, unleashing all his abilities to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It was like a person who had been hungry for years and was suddenly allowed to eat a full table of delicious food. He opened up all his senses to devour the spiritual energy...

His body quickly swelled, filled with powerful spiritual energy, and his brain felt as if it were submerged in water, his senses muffled, yet everything around him was clear.

Su Xian knew that this was his long-suppressed body suddenly finding satisfaction... his senses were amplified to the extreme.

Although it was muffled, it was like hearing sounds from above while underwater. He could clearly hear everything, including his mother secretly sobbing, seemingly worried about her daughter's tuition.

He could also hear the flowers blooming in the courtyard, birds chirping softly, the sounds resonating deep in his heart... and outside, children laughing and playing happily.

In his sister's room...

There were two people, apparently a girl, a friend of TaoTao's. It seemed he had been so engrossed in cultivation that he didn't even notice his sister's friend had come to play.

Unlike Su Xian, who was a non-existent presence, Su Tao was a good girl, intelligent and, though cold, not averse to helping others. Her reputation as a prodigy made her even more approachable, naturally earning the admiration and affection of many young girls.

Thus, she had many friends.

Moreover, in their family of three, each person had their own room, and although Su Tao was the youngest, she lived in the largest master bedroom... clearly, she was the head of the household.

At this moment, in Su Tao's room.

Unlike her cold personality, the large master bedroom was decorated in a cute, girlish style, with adorable curtains, a pure white princess bed, and a pink bedsheet with a large white teddy bear lying on it...

Su Xian, with his bare, smooth feet crossed, hugged the large teddy bear and looked at her friend who had come to visit.

Her eyes held a complex expression, a mix of disgust and anger...

She buried her face in the bear's chest, only her moist, bright eyes visible, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you here?"

"I... I came to see you."

The red-clothed girl's face showed a hint of fear. As the acknowledged morning flower of the school, with her outstanding background and abilities, He YanYun was always proud and looked down on everyone...

But noticing Su Tao's clearly cold expression, she was quite flustered, even unconsciously showing a slight pleading look.

She had always valued her only good friend.

"I heard your brother was injured... so... so..."

"Heard?"

Su Tao's face showed a hint of anger, her voice filled with fury, "But how do I remember that my brother's injury was caused by you?!"

He YanYun's body trembled, her face turning deathly pale!
