Stronger by Killing

Gu Zhan immediately understood what those beads were; they were mediums for inheriting secret manuals in the Cultivation Realm, similar to the Inheritance Jade Slip used in Martial Arts. However, the Inheritance Pill Beads in the Cultivation Realm were relatively more advanced, containing restrictions that those with low cultivation couldn’t possibly know about. If not careful, triggering the restrictions could lead to the Inheritance Pill Bead self-destructing.

This explains why, after ten thousand years, no one in the Human World has found the true inheritance of the Cultivation Realm, only barely uncovering a scattered small inheritance, with great difficulty. Even if there are inheritances scattered across the Human World, they remain untouched because nobody knows how to open them, and over time without spiritual energy replenishment, they gradually vanish.

Knowing these beads were used to preserve inheritance, Gu Zhan immediately perked up and began to examine them one by one.

The Inheritance Pill Beads left behind by these three people amounted to dozens.

Gu Zhan spent an entire day and night to finish examining those dozens of Inheritance Pill Beads.

Most contained ordinary magic, with four or five cultivation techniques, but none matched the grade of the Immortal Supreme Skill he obtained from the Spirit Fox Cave. At most, they could be cultivated to the Golden Core Sixth Transformation, corresponding to the Nirvana Seventh Realm, whereas his Chang Chun Skill could be cultivated to the Nirvana Ninth Realm.

Gu Zhan had little interest in these cultivation techniques.

However, among those Inheritance Pill Beads, he found a few treasure techniques, including two high-tier treasure techniques.

Most delightfully, Gu Zhan discovered a magic called "Great Derivation Technique." After system analysis, it was revealed to be a magic surpassing high-tier treasure techniques:

Magic: Great Derivation Technique

Grade: Initial Tier Forbidden Technique

Convertible to Martial Arts Techniques

...

Gu Zhan didn’t hesitate and immediately chose to convert:

[Use 5 billion experience points]

[Great Derivation Technique successfully deduced into Martial Arts Techniques]

Vajra Seal: Harness malice for personal gain, transform vital energy into a seal, suppress mountains and oceans, can trigger Martial Arts Will, grows stronger when faced with strength.

...

Looking at the notes on the Vajra Seal,

Gu Zhan smiled wryly, unsure whether it was a coincidence or the system deliberately deduced based on his situation. The martial arts techniques he deduced recently were all overbearing and fierce ones,

Elephant Armor Skill, Azure Heaven Hand Seal, and this Vajra Seal— all domineering and intense martial arts techniques, continuously affirming his previous statement,

Close combat, Martial Arts Invincible!

[Use 2 billion experience points]

[Vajra Seal upgraded to Entry Level]

[Use 3 billion experience points]

[Vajra Seal upgraded to Minor Success Level]

[Use 5 billion experience points]

[Vajra Seal upgraded to Great Success Realm]

In an instant,

Gu Zhan spent 10 billion experience points, directly cultivating an Initial Tier Forbidden Technique to the Great Success Realm, mastering a powerful martial arts technique.

Through the previous system notes, he understood the cultivation difficulty of this forbidden technique was very high, exponentially more challenging than treasure techniques. This was likely why the three Golden Core cultivators he killed hadn’t cultivated it, or hadn’t cultivated it successfully.

Subsequently, Gu Zhan glanced at the system page:

Player: Gu Zhan

Realm: Nirvana Second Realm

Title: Martial Arts Pioneer

Note: 1. Wearing the Martial Arts Pioneer title grants inference ability; it allows the deduction of Same Realm Skills with the use of experience points.

2. Wearing the Martial Arts Pioneer title grants the Martial Arts Invincible ability, growing stronger when faced with strength, pioneering at Martial Arts Peak, invincible by oneself.

Cultivation Technique: Chang Chun Skill (Eighth Floor 0/200 billion)

Skills:

Vajra Seal (Great Success)

Elephant Armor Skill (Great Success)

Azure Heaven Hand Seal (Great Success)

Experience Points: 2.5 billion

......

After upgrading the Vajra Seal, Gu Zhan began to examine the contents of Huang Longzi’s Spatial Ring.

To Gu Zhan’s slight disappointment, he didn’t find any rare and precious treasures, mostly just spiritual artifacts. However, although Gu Zhan didn’t know if these spiritual artifacts had grades, none in terms of energy could compare with the Lotus Buddha Seal he took from the old monk Hui Chan, and all were far inferior.

Gu Zhan held some guesses in his mind,

Previously, Huang Longzi and his comrades always claimed to be from small sects, probably not modesty but indeed having shallow inheritance depth. Additionally, they might have left valuable treasures inside the barrier.

Nevertheless, the second possibility is unlikely; unless the treasure cannot be taken away, for cultivators, the safest place is absolutely on oneself.

Of course, Gu Zhan wasn’t too disappointed,

because he possessed extraordinary talent; in cultivation, he has never needed to rely on external objects, always progressing through hard work and skill!

...

After spending two days and nights in the secret chamber, Gu Zhan finally walked out.

When he arrived at the manor,

he saw Kou Baimen and Sword One leading a large group, busily researching those bamboo slips, seemingly analyzing them day and night.

Upon seeing Gu Zhan emerge, Kou Baimen hastily approached, bowing, "Prince, we have sorted out quite a few things."

Gu Zhan slowly sat down on a chair and said, "Let’s hear it."

Kou Baimen, somewhat excited, said, "Prince, now exists the best news; although spiritual energy is beginning to revive, those Cultivation Sects, also what we used to call Immortal Sects, indeed are gradually reviving. Yet, we still have ample time for strategy, allowing Martial Arts to compete with the Cultivation system in this era of Spiritual Qi Revival!"

Gu Zhan gently sipped tea, quietly listening.

Kou Baimen continued, "The Celestial Star Cave’s records contain much information, documenting since the first generation of cultivators entered the barrier, intended for future generations to understand what’s beyond the barrier and every generation’s deduced findings, concerned about the inheritance being lost, which benefits us, revealing numerous pieces of information.
