Ascension of The Unholy Immortal

Hearing the scholar's words, Liang was momentarily surprised. He had never expected this arrogant scholar to suddenly display such politeness.

The more he pondered on it, the more cautious he became. Nonetheless, he replied with a sincere smile, "Thank you for your assistance, Brother Fan. I will diligently cultivate these techniques."

The scholar chuckled and waved his hand, causing a jade token to materialize in the air before him. The token then flew towards Liang. "This Jade token contains all the information you need to know about the Sutras Hall," he said, before turning around and leaving quietly.

Liang took the jade token and examined it using his void sense. After a few moments, he put the jade token away and mumbled to himself, "This hall seems more interesting than I initially thought."

Although the Sutra Hall consisted of seven floors, only the first three were meant for Dao integration cultiviators. This struck Liang as peculiar. It meant that the other four floors could only be accessed after breaking through the Void Transformation realm.

Although this puzzled Liang Yifei, he didn't dwell on it too much. He planned to inquire about it with the scholar before leaving the hall.

The first floor is divided into five sections, namely the bloodline section, body tempering section, lightshadow section, inscription section and finally martial section.

Each section contained numerous bookshelves and scrolls, all containing knowledge and techniques related to their respective themes.

The first floor of the building was divided into five distinct sections, each dedicated to a specific aspect of cultivation. These sections included the bloodline section, the body tempering section, the lightshadow section, the inscription section, and finally, the martial section.

Upon entering the first floor, Liang Yifei was greeted by rows upon rows of bookshelves and scrolls, each filled with valuable knowledge and techniques related to their respective themes.

After a moment's consideration, Liang Yifei made up his mind and headed towards the inscription section as his first destination. This particular section held a special place in his heart, as it was the array and formation techniques that had saved his life countless times in his past life.

However, despite their effectiveness, he had stopped using most of these formations due to their lack of power compared to his techniques and abilities. Moreover, his lack of time had prevented him from creating new ones – a task that would require hundreds of years of research and comprehension.

Given the opportunity to explore a section full of techniques already, it was only natural for Liang Yifei to prioritize the inscription section.

The inscription section was a trove of formations, arrays, and talisman inscribing techniques, culled from various worlds within the lower domain. As Liang Yifei stepped into the section, he marveled at the vastness and power that the legion possessed.

The shelves and scrolls overflowed with knowledge and techniques meticulously gathered from countless sources.

Liang browsed through the shelves and scrolls in the inscription section, carefully examining each one. He was looking for techniques that suited his needs and preferences, something that could enhance his array and formation abilities.

As he went through the various techniques, he was impressed by the range and complexity of the formations. There were defensive arrays, offensive formations, and even space-time formation techniques. Each technique was clearly explained, with detailed instructions on how to perform the inscriptions and activate the formations.

After some time, Liang's eyes landed on a technique that captured his interest - the Harmonic Matrix Tome. Intrigued by its unique approach, he realized that this technique was not a formation technique like the others he had come across, but instead, a cultivation technique.

The Harmonic Matrix Tome, originating from the Runestone Civilization, completely revolutionized Liang's understanding of formations and arrays. The tome introduced him to the concept of runic cultivation, a system that revolves around comprehending runes and utilizing them to create formations, arrays, and talismans. These can be inscribed on the cultivator's body or infused into various objects.

According to the tome, the cultivation journey of Runic Cultivators begins with the use of a specialized array called Arcane Rune Infusion Array. This array is created using Nexus Stones, mystical stones imbued with powerful magical properties. Entering this array triggers a spiritual awakening process, during which the cultivator forms a unique runes known as the True Runes or Foundation Runes.

By channeling spiritual energy, the cultivator can enhance and evolve this special runes. Each person possesses their own unique True Runes, and naturally, the awakeners are classified with unique names and distinct abilities associated with the number of their True Runes.

The first level of talent is known as Singular Awakeners, who possess one True Rune. They specialize in a single talent or ability.

Moving up the ranks, we have Dual Enigma, who possess two True Runes. This showcases their mastery in two distinct talents or abilities.

Next, we have Trinary Conduit, who boast three True Runes. These cultivators showcase proficiency in a variety of abilities, displaying a diverse skill set.

For instance, a Trinary Conduit with three True Runes might possess talents in Elemental Manipulation, Healing Arts, and Divination, allowing them to control the elements, heal others, and foresee future events.

Quadruple Sages come next, marked by four True Runes. Their talents encompass a quartet of diverse abilities, granting them exceptional versatility.

Moving further, we have Quintessential Virtuosos, who possess five True Runes. These cultivators wield an extensive range of abilities, showcasing their mastery across multiple domains.

Beyond them, we have Hexagonal Luminary, marked by six True Runes. These cultivators possess almost unrivaled expertise across various realms.

Finally, Omnicolor Paragons. These rare individuals have one True Rune adorned with all seven resplendent colors, signifying their mastery across all talents. Each Omnicolor Paragon possesses a unique combination of abilities, acquiring unparalleled knowledge and skill in various domains.

The significance of this classification extends beyond just talent and abilities; it also reflects the progression in cultivation realms. With each advancement in cultivation, a cultivator can unlock a rune corresponding to one of the seven realms. Upon reaching the highest cultivation realm, Most of the Omnicolor Paragons will have access to all seven ability, though some of them could awaken them at much earlier cultivation realms.

Additionally, the number of True Runes one possesses affects cultivation speed. Those with more runes will have a faster cultivation speed compared to those with fewer runes, allowing them to progress further in their abilities and powers.

Ultimately, an individual who possesses all seven True Runes holds immense power, akin to that of Void Transformation Cultivators – those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation in the Runic Cultivation system.

After discovering the Harmonic Matrix Tome, Liang Yifei's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't resist delving deeper into the intriguing world of runic cultivation. He dedicated the next three months to studying the Tome extensively, immersing himself in its profound knowledge and techniques. With each passing day, his understanding of formations and arrays deepened, and he gained insights into the intricate art of rune manipulation.

After fully comprehending and memorising the whole tome, Liang decided it was time to explore the martial section of the Sutras Hall. After all, a well-rounded cultivator should not neglect their combat abilities. He carefully examined the shelves and scrolls, searching for a manual that resonated with him.

After some contemplation, Liang's choice fell upon the Shadow of Oblivion Sword Manual.

After spending a month immersed in the study of the Shadow of Oblivion Sword Manual, Liang decided it was time to venture to the second floor of the Sutras Hall. As he ascended the stairs, he noticed a stark difference from the first floor. The second floor was bustling with activity, filled with cultivators each one taking a corner on his own.

However, amidst the unfamiliar crowd, his gaze fell upon a familiar face. It was Xue Ren, To Liang's surprise, Xue Ren was still in the Sutras Hall.

With a little smile on his face, Liang approached Xue Ren, who looked up and was pleasantly surprised. "Brother Liang, it's really nice to see a familiar face here," Xue Ren exclaimed.

Liang was taken aback by Xue Ren's comment. "You've been a member of the legion for quite some time, Brother Xue. You must know at least a few people here," he replied.

Understanding Liang's confusion, Xue Ren nodded. "Actually, Brother Liang, these individuals come from different branches of the legion across countless worlds in the lower domains. It's highly unlikely that I would know them," Xue Ren explained.

Liang Yifei chuckled inwardly, finding the situation amusing. "You're right, Brother Xue. My apologies for the misunderstanding," he quickly responded.

Suddenly, Xue Ren stood up and smiled. "When did you enter the sutras hall, Brother Liang?" he inquired.

"Approximately four months ago," Liang calmly replied.

Xue Ren's eyes widened with surprise upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and asked, "How many days have you spent in the record hall?"

Though confused by the question, Liang decided there was no need to lie. "A little over two months," he admitted.

A bitter expression crossed Xue Ren's face as his mouth twitched. "Brother Liang, you are truly gifted," he commented.

Curious, Liang asked, "Could you explain further, Brother Xue?"

Xue Ren responded, "I've never heard of anyone managing to spend more than ten days in the record hall during their first entry, let alone two months. It's quite an exceptional feat."

While Liang continued to smile outwardly, he couldn't help but feel a sense of amusement. "What's the reason behind that, Brother Xue?" he inquired.

Xue Ren was about to answer but suddenly remembered something and simply shook his head. Changing the subject, he suggested, "Brother Liang, how about we do something different? The second floor has a fighting stage. How about we test our skills a bit?"

Upon hearing Xue Ren's words, Liang Yifei inwardly sneered. It became apparent to him that Xue Ren was not as simple and straightforward as he appeared. Perhaps Xue Ren felt somewhat threatened upon learning that Liang Yifei had spent two months in the record hall. He most likely wanted to gauge the extent of his abilities.
