The moment Li Yun's words landed, time seemed to freeze.
Beichen Heng's expression stiffened.
This was his greatest secret, and also the greatest secret of his father, the Emperor of the Tianyin Empire. For years, no one had known about this, and he had thought of many ways to resolve it, but all of them had been in vain.
He never expected that today, this Senior from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower would casually point it out with a single glance.
“Senior recognizes this cultivation technique?”
Beichen Heng asked, his voice filled with excitement. “Then... Senior, do you have a way to resolve the flaws in this technique?”
“Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Method, nothing more,” Li Yun said casually.
“Devouring Heaven and Earth... Great Method?”
Beichen Heng's expression grew strange.
This was somewhat different from what he knew. He clearly wasn't practicing this technique.
“Oh, right.”
Li Yun seemed to recall something and continued, “The technique you're practicing is incomplete. It has another name, the Spirit-Summoning Divine Art!”
“This technique has no requirements for cultivation aptitude, because it was never meant for the practitioner to use. It was designed for subordinates to cultivate...”
“As long as the master is willing, they can transfer the cultivation of their subordinates at any time.”
“Am I correct?”
Li Yun spoke smoothly.
“If I'm not mistaken, all nine princes of the Tianyin Empire are practicing this technique, and the original version of the Spirit-Summoning Divine Art is controlled by the Emperor of Tianyin!”
After Li Yun finished speaking, Beichen Heng still hadn't reacted.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Great Wasteland City gasped in shock, his eyes wide open as he stared at Li Yun, then glanced at Beichen Heng.
Today, it seemed like he had learned an incredible secret!
Just now, when Li Yun spoke, the Lord suddenly understood what the Spirit-Summoning Divine Art was all about.
This technique was, in essence, demonic!
Transferring someone else's cultivation results to oneself—wasn't that the hallmark of demonic practices?
Years ago, there were countless rumors about how the eight princes of the Tianyin Empire died mysteriously. He had been puzzled, but now, it all made sense.
The Emperor of Tianyin had actually taken action against his own sons, killing eight of them in a row!
Such ruthless methods!
“Senior's calculations are as brilliant as ever. I truly admire you!”
Beichen Heng smiled bitterly and said, “The truth is exactly as Senior has said. There is no anger in my heart, as the one who started all of this is not me, but my father. If the truth comes to light, it will be an embarrassment for him, not me.”
Besides, this matter would eventually be exposed. It could be hidden for a time, but not forever. The Tianyin Empire's scandal was bound to be uncovered by the world.
After all, the Emperor of Tianyin had no cultivation aptitude.
This was not a secret among the great sacred lands.
If he had reached the Saint Lord level, others might have assumed the Tianyin Empire had spent enormous resources to push him up. But if he were to become a Saint, that would be a different matter.
Countless talented individuals were blocked at the threshold of sainthood, and yet someone with no aptitude was able to achieve it. Who could accept that?
At that time, everyone would be curious about the secret behind it.
If all the major powers investigated, the truth would easily come to light.
Beichen Heng took a deep breath, slowly standing up. He walked over to Li Yun, bowed deeply, and said in a solemn tone,
“Senior, since you have recognized this technique, you must have a way to save me.”
“Please, Senior, guide me. Afterward, I will offer a great reward!”
“You are correct. I do have a way to save you, and not just one.”
Li Yun glanced at Beichen Heng and said, unhurriedly, “But the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower are always clear—payment upfront, no debts allowed!”
“Not just one?”
Beichen Heng was stunned, automatically ignoring the second part of Li Yun's sentence.
This was what a Senior was like?
He had searched for a thousand years for a way to resolve this, but had found no answers. Every time he thought of his eight royal brothers' fate, he was terrified, fearing that one day, he would meet the same end.
But now, this Senior had offered not one, but several methods to solve it!
Beichen Heng thought for a moment and then took out a cultivation manual, respectfully handing it to Li Yun.
“Senior, I truly have nothing of value.”
“This ‘Martial King Sword Art' was created by my ancestor. I wonder if it might catch Senior's eye?”
Li Yun glanced at the manual, not immediately responding. This cultivation technique was incomplete, but Beichen Heng didn't realize it. His father had been cautious of him all along.
The techniques he had been given were all incomplete.
How much could the broken Martial King Sword Art be worth in terms of Heavenly Mechanism points? Even Li Yun wasn't sure.
“System, how many Heavenly Mechanism points can the Martial King Sword Art be exchanged for?”
Li Yun silently asked in his mind.
[Ding, Martial King Sword Art (Incomplete) can be exchanged for 800 Heavenly Mechanism points.]
As expected.
The price was shockingly low.
It was about the same as a broken Saint Lord-level weapon.
This clearly showed how incomplete the technique was. After all, it was created by the ancestor of the Tianyin Empire, and even if it was in a pitiful state, it shouldn't be this cheap!
“Hmm...”
Li Yun thought for a moment before speaking again. “System, search for any reliable information that might help Beichen Heng resolve his issues.”
[Immortal Island: Requires 8 million Heavenly Mechanism points, can provide specific location.]
[The Tomb of the Great War Emperor: Requires 7.5 million Heavenly Mechanism points, can provide specific location.]
...
[The Tomb of the Purple Emperor: Requires 4.62 million Heavenly Mechanism points, can provide specific location.]
...
“System, could you give me some useful information? Do you really think Beichen Heng can afford any of these with his current situation?”
Li Yun fell into a brief silence before speaking again, his tone somewhat resigned.
