He Zhenghao nodded, immediately circulated the “Supreme Primordial
Scripture,” and dissolved his cultivation of “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.
He began to cultivate “The Hidden Dragon Technique of Mountains and Rivers”.
As he re-entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, Li Fan saw a canvas of an extensive mountain range stretching for thousands of miles and densely populated river systems slowly unfold above He Zhenghao’s head. Within these mountains and rivers, a resonating dragon roar could be faintly heard.
The clouds and mist churned, as if a divine dragon were flying among them.
“Truly worthy of a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, its aura is majestic and exceptional indeed,” Li Fan praised in his heart.
This spectacle lasted for nearly half a day.
After gradually dissipating, He Zhenghao opened his eyes, revealing a glint of sharpness.
He had indeed recovered to the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment. “How does it feel?” Looking at He Zhenghao, whose demeanor and temperament had both changed, Li Fan asked.
“The wonder of this technique exceeds my imagination and cannot simply be described with words. If I can successfull cultivate it, I am confident that I can reach the Golden Core Realm within thirty years,” He Zhenghao said joyfully before once again expressing his gratitude to Li Fan.
“Ah, I’ve said there’s no need for formalities between us. We’re now in the same boat. Your increasing strength is good for me and not harmful at all!”
“Focus on your cultivation and strive to enter the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible,” Li Fan encouraged.
He Zhenghao nodded in agreement.
“By the way, what do you plan to do with the ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’ you were cultivating before? Sell it to the Tianxuan Mirror?” Li Fan asked casually.
“Yes, it is after all a Golden Core Technique, so it should still have some value in contribution points,” He Zhenghao replied.
“How much can you get for it?”
“Let me check.” He Zhenghao took out a Jade Scroll and began communicating with the Small Tianxuan Mirror.
“It’s only worth forty-five thousand contribution points?” A moment later, disappointment spread across He Zhenghao’s face.
“Never mind then, it will be good to get some points back!” He Zhenghao gritted his teeth, ready to sell the Jade Scroll with the “The Mountain-Seating
Secret” to the Tianxuan Mirror.
At that moment, Li Fan suddenly spoke up to stop him.
“Wait!”
He Zhenghao turned to look at Li Fan: “What’s the matter, friend?”
Li Fan shook his head: “Forty-five thousand contribution points are too little for selling it to the Tianxuan Mirror. I have a way to sell this technique for at least fifty thousand points.”
He Zhenghao was overjoyed: “That’s great! I’ll leave this matter to you then.”
With that, He unreservedly handed over the Jade Scroll.
Part of it was, of course, due to the [Business Contract].
But more importantly, from He Zhenghao’s point of view, Li Fan was loaded with treasures. Even after loaning him two hundred and fifty thousand contribution points, Li Fan had at least four hundred thousand left.
Li Fan could select any Nascent Soul Technique he wanted, why would he covet his “The Mountain-Seating Secret”?
As expected, without even looking at the Jade Scroll, Li Fan directly put it into his Storage Ring.
“Once the deal is done, I will transfer the contribution points to you.”
“When you have these contribution points, there’s no rush to pay me back. Your priority should be to use Enlightenment to quickly improve your cultivation.”
Li Fan advised.
He Zhenghao showed a grateful expression.
Li Fan didn’t linger any longer and directly went back to the Tianxuan Mirror.
With no need to hide anymore, he took out the Jade Scroll of “The
Mountain-Seating Secret” and carefully began to read its content.
After a long time, he had memorized the entire contents of the Jade Scroll in his mind before crushing it into pieces.
“As I thought, the ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’ that was reproduced before was incomplete.”
There were a few reasons why Li Fan had gone to such great lengths. Apart from wanting to intimidate He Zhenghao and having another Array Master to help him,
Another reason was that he had received some information in the Fallen Immortal Realm.
The ancient Techniques, like the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique, often came with some other techniques that complemented the main cultivation.
“The Mountain-Seating Secret”, being a Technique passed down since ancient times, should be the same.
However, the ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’ that Li Fan had reproduced before only had its cultivation effect, while other parts seemed to be missing.
Furthermore, He Zhenghao had indeed mentioned before that the “The Mountain-Seating Secret” he cultivated had various incredible techniques.
Li Fan guessed that he might have lost some parts when reproducing the Technique through the method of cultivating an avatar.
So he went to great lengths to finally get the complete version of “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.
And the result did not disappoint Li Fan.
In addition to the miraculous techniques like “Sensing Earth Veins”, “Strength to Uproot Mountains”, and “Mountain Man Integration” ,
The complete version of “The Mountain-Seating Secret” also possesses another strong feature that can rival “Sitting Mountain Secret”.
This is the essence of the word “sitting” in sitting Mountain. It’s called [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain].
Sitting on the peak of the mountain, standing still.
As the mountain height increases, he will also be correspondingly lifted. But more importantly,
No matter how quickly the mountain grows or how high it rises,
The cultivator who practices “The Mountain-Seating Secret” will always be sitting on top of it.
If the cultivator does not stand up for a day, the mountain will always be suppressed.
The same goes for people as it does for the mountains.
Once Li Fan choses a cultivator who he had previously invested in, and initiates [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain],
No matter how naturally talented that cultivator is, or how many opportunities he encounters,
His cultivation level will never surpass Li Fan’s.
It’s as if he carries Li Fan on his back, advancing while carrying a burden.
When the cultivator’s realm is the same as Li Fan’s, all of his cultivation progress will prioritize on increasing Li Fan’s cultivation.
If Li Fan is stuck at a bottleneck in this lifetime and can’t break through,
Then this cultivator will also never progress, lingering at his current stage.
“Extremely vicious,” were the only words Li Fan could come up with to describe [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain] from “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.
Li Fan guessed that perhaps because of He Zhenghao’s character, he didn’t wish to make enemies and didn’t practice this technique at all,
Which led to the incomplete reproduction of the Technique earlier.
This technique is so powerful and unreasonable, and naturally, it has certain restrictions.
For instance, one can only choose one cultivator at a time to apply [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain].
The chosen cultivator’s realm must be at least one small realm lower than one’s own for the technique to be successful.
Also, there are certain side effects.
As the saying goes, obstruct someone’s path, and there’s no peace till death.
The longer the effects of [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain] last, the stronger the suppression gets, and the victim’s sense of it becomes stronger.
Even though he can’t directly know the specific reason why his cultivation cannot progress, he will involuntarily produce corresponding changes. At first, he will inexplicably detest the person casting the technique.
Then, this detest will turn into loathing.
Finally, from loathing it will turn into obsession.
An obsession of ‘It’s either you die, or I die’.
Despite all these restrictions, in Li Fan’s view, the suppressive power of “The Mountain-Seating Secret” is still very strong.
Because the control of [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain]’s effects is always in the hands of the person casting the spell.
Suppress for three to five years, feeling it’s about right, and both sides still not becoming sworn enemies,
The target can simply be changed then.
And for Li Fan,
As long as his cultivation advances, he doesn’t care about making lifelong enemies.
The mortal enemy of this lifetime, might even become a close friend in the next life,
