The night of the fourth day.
Ling Chen finally woke up.
"Come on, let’s continue!"
Ling Chen smiled wryly, "Ancestor, I’m here for the inheritance."
The ancestor said, "No rush for that. It’s been so long since anyone drank with me, you need to keep me company for a while."
In the days that followed, Ling Chen was practically living in a drunken stupor.
Only drinking and sobering up remained.
Ling Chen asked about the Alcohol Transformation Technique and the tenth form.
The ancestor said, "Alcohol Transformation Technique, Alcohol Transformation Technique, how can you succeed in cultivation if you don’t drink?"
So another bout of drunkenness ensued.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Ling Chen didn’t know how many times he had been drunk.
That day, Ling Chen had just sobered up.
Surprisingly, the ancestor did not press for more drinking.
"You’ve kept me company for so long, I’ll pass the Alcohol Transformation Technique to you!"
The ancestor pressed a finger to Ling Chen’s brow.
Information flowed directly into Ling Chen’s Divine Soul. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Ling Chen was overjoyed.
The ancestor said, "Don’t start cultivating yet, it’s not too late to do it outside."
Having obtained this technique was enough.
"Come, let’s visit the cemetery once more."
Ling Chen quickly followed.
Returning to the cemetery, it was no different from the last time.
"Let me see your weapon!"
Ling Chen quickly took out the Mystic Sword.
"Oh? This longsword of yours is quite unusual!"
The ancestor exclaimed.
He examined it for a while before saying, "It’s actually a demigod weapon."
Ling Chen said, "This is part of the Divine Artifact Sun and Moon Blade."
The ancestor nodded, "I originally planned to give you a demigod weapon, but it seems unnecessary. Since you have this sword, you are sufficient to cultivate the tenth form."
"This technique is a minor Divine Art. You need a demigod weapon to succeed in cultivation. Another prerequisite is mastering the first nine forms."
As he spoke, the ancestor sealed the tenth form into the Green Lotus Mark on Ling Chen’s brow.
As soon as the tenth form entered the Green Lotus Mark, Ling Chen sensed it, the entire Spirit Art flooding into his Divine Soul.
Both the Alcohol Transformation Technique and the tenth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual had been obtained.
The goals of Ling Chen’s journey were all achieved.
Ling Chen walked alongside.
"Tell me, what did you see here? This was the very place you entered the Sword Tomb."
The ancestor treated the swords .
How could he not treat people similarly?
The ancestor smiled, "You are mistaken. I once walked ten paces to slay one person, never stopping for thousands of miles. Think again?"
"Are you saying to treat our weapons well?"
Ling Chen asked again.
The ancestor buried all the swords and even came to the cemetery for them.
The ancestor shook his head, "Actually, what I want to say is that everything has a spirit."
He raised his head, long hair fluttering.
"Swords have spirits, the wind has a spirit."
He grabbed a handful of soil.
"The earth also has a spirit."
"Everything has a spirit."
"Understanding this point should greatly benefit your cultivation."
"Alright, you’ve been here long enough, and you’ve obtained what you need, time to go back!"
"Thank you, ancestor, for the guidance!"
Ling Chen bowed in salute.
"As you came in, so you can go out."
"Ancestor, may I see your true appearance?"
After a long pause, Ling Chen asked.
A young man who looked even younger than himself, to call him ancestor felt rather strange.
"Am I not good looking in this form?"
"Nice looking, but not real."
The ancestor laughed heartily.
Then, he transformed into a middle-aged man.
Though his face bore the wear of time, the ethereal and immortal aura could not be hidden by the years.
The ancestor waved a hand and walked into the distance, his figure gradually fading.
"Ling Chen respectfully sees the ancestor off!"
Then, he again activated the Token and left the Sword Tomb.
A flash of light, and Ling Chen appeared in the Land of Nothingness.
At this time, Li Xuankong and the three others were there.
The Great Elder said, "Young Master, you’ve come out too, let’s head back then."
"How were your gains?"
The Great Elder asked.
Li Xuankong said, "I did not obtain the Alcohol Transformation Technique."
The Great Elder said, "Well, it’s a matter of chance, not obtaining it is fine too."
Then he looked at Li Kaiyan, "Kai Yan, what about you?"
"I seem to have obtained it, but I drank a lot of wine."
The Great Elder smiled.
Li Xuankong and Li Qingkong both wore bitter expressions.
They were both Emperor Realm experts, yet they did not obtain it.
But Li Kaiyan, only a Sovereign, managed to.
It truly had nothing to do with strength.
Completely a matter of luck.
"Young Master, how about you?"
The Great Elder asked again.
Ling Chen nodded, "I obtained it too."
"Then congratulations, Young Master!"
The Great Elder smiled.
The Young Master being able to obtain the Alcohol Transformation Technique and the tenth form was quite fortunate.
Historically, not every Young Master was able to obtain the Alcohol Transformation Technique.
Ling Chen nodded, and said, "Great Elder, how long have we been inside? Did anything happen over at the Flower Immortal Sect?"
"Just one day, what could happen?"
The Great Elder laughed.
The four were all surprised.
They all felt they had been inside for several months.
"It felt like several months to me."
Ling Chen smiled wryly.
The Great Elder said, "The Sword Tomb isn’t all real objects, a lot of it is Illusion Realm. What you experienced inside should be an illusion."
He had been inside then too.
Later, he discovered the time discrepancy between inside and the outside world.
No one in this world could do that.
It must be an illusion realm.
"After returning, cultivate well! Xuankong, Qingkong, even if you didn’t obtain the Alcohol Transformation Technique, you must have learned much, take time to reflect."
The Great Elder advised.
The four acknowledged.
Returning to his residence, Ling Chen entered seclusion.
Cultivating the Alcohol Transformation Technique and the tenth form.
Having finally obtained them, it was natural to intensify cultivation.
The battle with Bai Yujing was drawing near.
The first thing to cultivate was the Alcohol Transformation Technique.
Ling Chen took out a jar of Alcohol Immortal, and drank it all down.
Then operated according to the Alcohol Transformation Technique spell.
The Alcohol Immortal immediately transformed into an aura, coursing through his body, finally converging in the Sea of Consciousness.
This aura began to invade the Divine Soul.
Ling Chen did not resist, allowing the aura to permeate.
When the aura entirely entered the Divine Soul, Ling Chen felt a tremor in the soul, then entered a profound and ethereal state of emptiness.
At this moment, everything around became clear.
Even the Heaven and Earth Power.
At that moment, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul shuddered.
In the Sea of Consciousness, a wisp of Heaven and Earth Power appeared.
The integration of this wisp of Heaven and Earth Power allowed Ling Chen’s cultivation to break through again, reaching the early stage of four-star Emperor-grade Divine Thought Master.
He had broken through because of the Alcohol Transformation Technique!
