Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 499 - 292: Growth of the Demon-Breaking Saber_2

The second gate cultivation technique focuses on body refinement. This single criterion alone disqualifies many peerless cultivation techniques in the marketplace.

The few top-tier body refining techniques effective for Lu Yu also have purchase requirements and stringent training conditions.

Rare techniques like the Nine Transformation Vajra Body, which enhances through taking blows, are hard to find.

Lu Yu can’t always rely on Celestial Dao experience points to upgrade techniques, can he? Engaging in battles against entities like demon generals only rewards 1 point of Celestial Dao experience, making it evident how rare these points are.

But Celestial Dao experience points are indeed powerful. They can completely bypass cultivation conditions, creating a suitable training environment upon use and injecting cultivation insights, enabling a breakthrough upgrade.

Returning to the past, Lu Yu aimed to acquire the ninth fire jade because he suspected that the eighth ice jade must be used in conjunction with the ninth fire jade to unlock the secrets within the ice and fire legacy jade disc.

However, currently, Lu Yu has no leads on the location of the ninth fire jade.

The only hint is that the ninth fire jade exists within a void sea of fire, but where to find it or how to reach there is unknown to Lu Yu.

Perhaps in a month, when he uses the celestial guidance map again, he might learn the method to reach it.

This concerns Lu Yu because, at the time, he only wished to ask where the ninth fire jade was, not how to reach its location.

These are two distinct questions, requiring two uses of the celestial guidance map. Each time it is opened, it shows only what the viewer most desires to know; secondary things will not be revealed.

For now, the ninth fire jade remains elusive, prompting Lu Yu to shift his focus to the outer battlefield mentioned by Su Peng.

Upon returning to Beifeng City and seeing Su Peng still asleep, Lu Yu promptly teleported into the Divine Weapon Pavilion secret realm, arriving at the Pavilion of Precepts.

Inside the Pavilion of Precepts, there are not only numerous cultivation techniques, secret techniques, secret methods, and formation maps... but also a plethora of informational books and carriers.

Using the identity granted by Zhao Tianjue, Lu Yu ascended to the fourth floor of the Pavilion of Precepts, where he located information on the outer battlefield.

The fourth floor of the Pavilion of Precepts generally admits only Core Formation Realm disciples, but Lu Yu had special privileges to enter.

The information about the outer battlefield on the fourth floor isn’t particularly hidden; nearly a fifth of the books here record various details about the outer battlefield.

Lu Yu randomly pulled out a book titled "Encyclopedia of the Outer Battlefield," with the author’s note on the cover recommending it as essential reading for newcomers.

After flipping through a few pages, Lu Yu found that the subsequent content required a contribution payment to continue reading. He paid the 3,000 Contribution Points without concern, then browsed the latter parts.

A thick tome with five to six hundred pages, Lu Yu finished reading in little time.

At Lu Yu’s level as a Martial Cultivator, his memory is exceptionally strong, capable of easily retaining large volumes of ordinary information at will.

Unless it involves specialized knowledge of extraordinary powers, a Martial Cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm could scan thousands of books within a day, imprinting their contents into the brain.

Of course, remembering is one thing; mastery is another.

Without true mastery, simply recalling information may not allow for immediate response in critical moments, and often only triggers memory afterward.

However, this is still much better than knowing nothing at all.

After returning the "Encyclopedia of the Outer Battlefield" to its original place, Lu Yu picked out a second book titled "Field Investigation and Analysis of Extraterrestrial Environments." From the encyclopedic book, Lu Yu learned that the outer battlefield’s environment is quite special; often, the threats to Martial Cultivators’ lives come not from enemies but from unknown surroundings.

Thus, he chose a book for his second reading that thoroughly discusses and analyzes the diverse environments within the outer battlefield, including examples of leveraging these environments to reverse-kill strong foes.

However, behind each example, there is a warning that one must be cautious when imitating.

Successfully utilizing the environment to kill formidable enemies involves environmental factors and many other elements as well. Other people attempting imitation might face much greater risk of failure.

This indeed is similar to the illusion of reverse-killing with a sliver of health — one of life’s great misconceptions.

The visible cases of a reverse-kill with a sliver of health are all successful examples. Far more common is the unseen "I thought I could reverse-kill with a sliver of health," only to end up shot down without even the chance to defend.

After finishing "Field Investigation and Analysis of Extraterrestrial Environments," Lu Yu continued with a jade scroll introducing extraterrestrial creatures. It includes images of these beings, vividly presented, allowing each viewer to clearly memorize those fearsome extraterrestrial creatures.

The outer battlefield doesn’t comprise only demons and humans, but creatures capable of surviving where demons and humans battle are undoubtedly formidable.

Even if they don’t rely on absolute strength to survive, they certainly have unique abilities that pose substantial challenges to both humans and demons.

These capabilities allow such creatures to occupy an occasional spot on the war-torn battlefield and thrive.

There’s much more, highlighting the excitement and danger pervading the outer battlefield.

Closing the book with a snap, Lu Yu glances at the sky outside the window, now transformed into a fiery red, indicating night has fallen.

At night within the Divine Weapon Pavilion secret realm, the sky is illuminated by flames from the celestial furnace, leaving only a few places shrouded in pitch-black shadows, areas that harbor threats from exotic beasts within the realm.

The celestial furnace’s flames never extinguish, ensuring that the secret realm’s night sky remains perpetually shrouded in crimson clouds.
