<h4>Chapter 1076 Xuantian Catalog</h4>


    Trantor: BornToBe


    The Xuan Master was sitting alone in a private room, and there was a certain scene on the wall before him. That scene showed Long Chen who had been cast into the Ghost Prison.


    “Are you starting to reap the harvest?” asked an ancient voice.


    “Yes. Originally, there should have been a longer time before the harvest, but Long Chen’s arrival has changed my ns a bit.” The Xuan Master nodded.


    “Are you helping Long Chen or harming him? You actually gave him the entire Xuantian Catalog to look at.”


    “It can’t count as helping or harming him. I’m just giving him an opportunity. Today, I saw many things because of Long Chen, and in particr, I saw some variables that are not in my control. These variables arergely beneficial to the Xuantian Dao Sect, so I’ve used this method to allow Long Chen to see theplete Xuantian Catalog. It’s up to him whether or not he can grasp anything,” said the Xuan Master.


    “The Xuantian Catalog is an immortal canon that we have to trante into a simpler form for the disciples before we teach it to them. And those who canprehend it are as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn. As for the most original Xuantian Catalog, let alone Long Chen, even those like Liu Cang and Luo Fan wouldn’t be able to see anything from it with just ten days,” said that ancient voice.


    “Of course I know that. But I still feel like there are secrets we don’t know about Long Chen. Perhaps those secrets are the things Long Chen relies on the most. I’m testing him like this. If he canprehend anything from the Xuantian Catalog, perhaps I’ll change my ns,” said the Xuan Master.


    “Decide for yourself. In any case, I’ve handed the Dao Sect to you. If you’re so confident, I can focuspletely on breaking through.”


    “Master, how assured do you feel this time?” The Xuan Master’s expression became slightly grave.


    “I’d guess thirty percent. After all, those who seed in Netherpassage are few and far between after the immortal era.” After a moment’s hesitation, he continued, “If I fail, you don’t need to be burdened. You can be free.”


    The Xuan Master shook his head. “I don’t feel like you gave me a burden. I just feel like you were too conservative. Continuing like this isn’t beneficial to the Xuantian Dao Sect’s development.”


    “Alright, let’s not talk about these things. I’m going into seclusion, and I won’t being out until I break through. I don’t want to think about these troublesome things. Wait, what? What is Long Chen doing?” The ancient voice suddenly became full of shock.


    The Xuan Master also looked at the wall. He saw Long Chen had taken out gold coins and was giving them one by one to the ghosts. He didn’t know whether tough or cry.


    “This rotten brat, he dares to even buy them? These ghosts have a certain spirituality, and they’ve seen the Hall Mastersprehend the Xuantian Catalog. Looking at Long Chen’s expression, he definitely obtained some useful information,” said the Xuan Master helplessly.


    “Thank you all, you can go back. I’m going to goprehend this thing.” Long Chen distributed several hundred gold coins to the ghosts. He was full of excitement.


    “So each line can beprehended with the soul to grasp it. It’s indistinct and unfathomable just like the Heavenly Daos.”


    This was what Long Chen had concluded through the countless clues the ghosts had told him.


    He took a deep breath and expelled his random thoughts. Focusingpletely, he ced all his attention on one of the lines of the symbol.


    When his mind sank into that line, the line suddenly unleashed a burst of light.


    The Xuan Master’s expression changed. The Xuantian Catalog was not something just any disciple couldprehend, especially not the original Xuantian Catalog.


    Normally, disciples would first have to gradually cultivate one of the Dao-paths of the Xuantian Catalog. Once theirprehension of that Dao-path was enough, then under their teacher’s guidance, they woulde to learn which line of the Xuantian Catalog referred to their Dao-path.


    This process would take several years for even geniuses. And to form a resonance with the Xuantian Catalog like this would take decades to centuries. In the Xuantian Dao Sect, amongst the thousands of Elders, there were only a few dozen who could form a resonance with the Xuantian Catalog.


    And even those Elders would require a few hours to start that resonance. But Long Chen had seeded in resonating with the first line in just a few breaths.


    There were a total of thirty-six thousand lines in the Xuantian Catalog, which referred to thirty-six thousand types of cultivation. It epassed tens of thousands ofws and Daos. It was wide-ranging and profound, a secret canon of the immortal era. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s inheritance was based on it.


    Once Long Chen chose a line, he encountered a strange space. This space was filled with countless revolving runes. At the same time, he saw a scene in front of him. There was a maiden ying a zither, and its sound was like stones falling into a clear spring. It was refreshing, cleaning the mind and soul.


    “This line is the Music Dao. You want a manly man like me to y the zither?” Long Chen retreated from that strange space with just a thought, once more choosing a new line.


    This time, he entered a desert. Sand blew through the air, covering the sun. Long Chen was lost for a while before he realized this was an extremely rare style amongst earth cultivators, sand cultivators. The sand was like a furious dragon roaring toward the sky.


    “This is also not suitable for me.”


    Long Chen once more retreated and chose a new line. This time, he entered a space filled with flying snow and countless ice stctites soaring out of the ground. This was the Ice Dao, also not what he wanted.


    He tried several lines, and each time, he would leave after just a few breaths. That made the Xuan Master speechless.


    “Master, do you have any opinion?” he asked after a long moment.


    “It’s very likely due to his cultivation technique. It might be on an even higher level than the Xuantian Catalog, making it so the Xuantian Catalog cannot hide any of its Dao-paths.”


    The two of them descended into silence. That was too shocking. It had to be known that the Xuantian Catalog’s Dao-paths were all shockingly profound. A genius might spend a lifetime studying it and not evenprehend a tenth.


    Furthermore, each Dao-path required a disciple to have the right qualifications to reveal itself to them. Only ice attribute disciples could open the corresponding Dao-paths. It was like a key opening a lock.


    But now, Long Chen was opening each Dao-path one after another, shocking both the Xuan Master and his master.


    Originally, the Xuan Master had just been wanting to see if Long Chen could cause a resonance with the Xuantian Catalog and find his corresponding Dao-path.


    But he hadn’t thought that Long Chen didn’t need such luck. He could go through all of them as he pleased. It was too shocking.


    Long Chen went through many Dao-paths without finding one that suited him. Either it was useless or he wasn’t able to cultivate it. Finally, he entered a space filled with roaring mes.


    “Finally, I’ve found this ce.” Long Chen was delighted. This space was definitely the ce toprehend the me Dao.


    Although he had his Pill God memories, they were very iplete. His ways to circte mes were limited to alchemy techniques, and there was basically nothing about fighting.


    The me Dao here was perfectly suited to him. The me Dao was not the Pill Dao. The mes here were used forbat, just what he needed.


    He immediately sat lotus-style within the mes. Those mes were formed of the Dao-path, and from it, he could sense many things that he had overlooked before.


    Fighting with mes was different from using mes for alchemy. It was pure mes without the slightest wood spiritual energy. Such mes were even more berserk and much more powerful.


    But because Huo Long had always been helping him to refine pills, it had formed a resonance with his trace of wood spiritual energy. As a result, it was no exception even when fighting.


    Now when he thought about that, he felt he really was stupid. If he extracted that wood spiritual energy, Huo Long’s power would be even greater inbat.


    Within this strange space, the mes were constantly changing, and there were also various me runes revolving. Long Chen randomly reached out to grab one.


    That me rune exploded violently, shooting out me arrows at Long Chen. Long Chen jumped in shock and hastily dodged, but some me arrows were still shooting toward him. He hastily took out Blooddrinker.


    Those me arrows caused his arm to turn numb when he blocked them. Long Chen was shocked by how powerful this me attack was.


    After the explosion of me arrows was over, they transformed back into the exact same rune as before.


    “Could it be... is every rune here a me magical art?!”


    Long Chen looked at the various runes floating in the air with absolute delight.


    “I’ve definitely struck gold now.”


    Long Chen arrived in front of that rune and once more grabbed it. The rune instantly exploded, but this time, he sensed the way and the rules of how the mes had circted and how the energy was umted before erupting.


    “So that’s what it was.”


    Blooddrinker blew apart the rain of mes. He had finally realized the secrets of this ce.


    Each of these runes was a magical art’s most primal rune. When activated, it would disy the principles behind it. However, it would only disy it for an instant, and without intentionally paying attention, it was very difficult to remember it.


    However, it wasn’t able to pose a problem for someone with Spiritual Strength as strong as Long Chen’s. After two tests, he had memorized its principles. He took a deep breath and formed hand seals. A translucent rune condensed over his palm.


    “Meteor Rain of Arrows.”


    Once that rune was formed, he involuntarily shouted its name.


    Following that, a huge ball of mes condensed above his head, and then countless me arrows shot out.


    Each me arrow caused a huge explosion upon striking the ground. Even Long Chen was shocked by its power.


    That had just been a small test. Because he had just learned it, he had been afraid of a bacsh and only used a small amount of me energy. He hadn’t expected it to have such a terrifying effect.


    “The Xuantian Catalog is truly worthy of being one of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s core treasures. No good, I can’t be this excited. I have to quickly learn all of this. Why was I only imprisoned for ten days?! It should have been at least a month!”


    Long Chen reached his hand out to the next rune.
