"Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture"? How does it relate to the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique?"
Mu Jinyu saw the name of this secret manual and naturally thought of the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique he was cultivating, inevitably showing a hint of confusion.
Xie Yuan heard Mu Jinyu's words, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes like lightning, and he exclaimed, "So the rumors are not false, the Blood Sword Sect does indeed have this cultivation method!"
"Hmm?!" Mu Jinyu heard Xie Yuan's voice, turned to look at him, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Yuan explained, "The rise of the Blood Sword Sect came from extinguishing one of the original Four Sects of Yan Kingdom, the Yunhua Sect, becoming one of the Four Sects of Yan Kingdom, even the leading sect among them. But it was originally just a small sect, how did it manage to defeat the strong despite being weak, and replace Yunhua Sect?"
Without waiting for Mu Jinyu to express confusion, Xie Yuan continued, "That's because the Blood Sword Sect, like the Liuyun Sect, acquired a large amount of cultivation resources from a certain relic, as well as the cultivation method inheritance of the tomb owner. Among them, the strongest inheritance is this Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture!"
"In Kunlun Ruins, the widely spread Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique is merely a Profound Rank Body Refinement Method, not worth much, and most people don't know that the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique is actually only a small part of the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, which in its complete form is truly a Top Heavenly Rank Grade Technique!"
"Although cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique to completion would grant Dragon Elephant Power, it is fundamentally incomplete, merely a fragment of the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, therefore it is impossible to cultivate to the stage of possessing Dragon Elephant Power."
"And according to records, after the Blood Sword Sect acquired the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture from the relic, there happened to be a genius within the sect who cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture to a minor completion. You could think of him as similar to Di Shitian of the Liuyun Sect; he led the Blood Sword Sect to destroy Yunhua Sect, establishing Blood Sword Sect's position among the Four Sects of Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop!"
"At one point, the Blood Sword Sect even intended to annihilate our Heavenly Sword Faction and the other three sects, to completely dominate the Yan Kingdom, but the Sect Leaders of the three sects sensed something was wrong and formed a three-sect alliance to resist the Blood Sword Sect, thus surviving the onslaught."
"At that time, the heaven's pride of the Blood Sword Sect intended to cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture to completion, acquire True Dragon Force, and then annihilate the Three Sects, but ultimately failed, perished!"
"With the fall of that heaven's pride, there was no one in the Blood Sword Sect who could cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture to minor completion, leading to the breakdown of the Three Sect Alliance and restoring the rivalry amongst the Four Sects of Yan Kingdom."
"In the following centuries, the Blood Sword Sect failed to produce another genius capable of cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture to minor completion, resulting in the Four Sects of Yan Kingdom maintaining a peaceful rivalry for hundreds of years."
"I once thought the records exaggerated, but now it appears they're likely accurate..."
Xie Yuan sighed, his tone carrying a hint of relief as he said, "And you just mentioned this Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture's Power Transmitting Jade Slip categorizes it as Lower Heavenly Rank Grade. That implies the version the Blood Sword Sect acquired from the relic is indeed incomplete. Otherwise, a complete Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture would surely be a Top Heavenly Rank Grade Technique!"
"Perhaps it was due to this incompleteness, that led the heaven's pride of those years to fail in achieving the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppressing Body to completion and perish early on, otherwise, our Heavenly Sword Faction might have been obliterated by them over a hundred years ago!"
Mu Jinyu listened to Xie Yuan's words, his expression slightly shocked. He then nodded gently and said, "It seems like the Blood Sword Sect's Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture is akin to our Heavenly Sword Faction's Killing Character Secret Technique, revered as a sect-protecting secret scripture while exuding endless dangers, being something ordinary people can't cultivate."
"It's pretty much like that." Xie Yuan nodded in agreement.
Mu Jinyu didn't say more, turning back to continue examining the Power Transmitting Jade Slip in his hand, softly murmuring, "Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique, Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture..."
A tinge of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
Since ancient times, which manual daring to use "scripture" in its title hasn't been a true classic?
Cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and divine skills in Kunlun Ruins are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow.
Whilst among cultivation methods, there's a private ranking saying known as "Classic Technique".
"Scripture" is the strongest, "Spell" is the weakest.
Among Heavenly Rank Techniques, if further divided, generally speaking, "Spell" is Lower Heavenly Rank Technique, while those daring to call themselves "Scripture" are Top Heavenly Rank Techniques.
For example, according to the martial arts rankings in wuxia novels, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", "Star Absorption Technique", "Sunflower Bible", "Nine Yang Scripture"...
Whether it's the "Nine Yang Scripture", "Nine Yin Scripture", "Muscle and Tendon Change Scripture", or "Divine Shining Scripture", which one isn't a top-grade technique?
Which one can't decisively surpass the "Sunflower Bible", "Star Absorption Technique"?
And martial arts bearing the "Spell" name are practically invisible.
If counted like this, does the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art I cultivate truly count as a Top Heavenly Rank Technique?
Mu Jinyu always believed the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art, being the cultivation method of the Five Emperors, should be a Top Heavenly Rank Technique.
But now it seems, perhaps not necessarily?
Or perhaps, the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art is similar to the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique, merely a preliminary cultivation method of the "Scripture"?
There's actually a complete version, a complete Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Scripture?
Beyond the Heavenly Rank technique?
Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, uncertain if this was indeed the truth.
But for now, the Supreme-grade Earth-level techniques he has seen still can't compare to the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art.
And this Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, complete as a Top Heavenly Rank, might be stronger than the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art, but the current version he's obtained is only incomplete, Lower Heavenly Rank, likely still inferior to the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu wouldn't change his cultivation method.
However, he'll certainly practice the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture in tandem.
After all, it's a Lower Heavenly Rank Body Refinement Technique capable of training Flood Dragon's Power.
It's significantly stronger than the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique he's currently studying.
Though it's incomplete, as long as he doesn't rush for immediate results aiming to cultivate it to completion, there shouldn't be any issues.
Thinking this, Mu Jinyu turned to Xie Yuan and the others, saying, "Great Elder, Sect Leader, may I first study this Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture?"
"Hmm, no problem." Xie Yuan agreed immediately, understanding that Mu Jinyu is already cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique and has attained Strength of One Elephant!
After nodding in agreement, Xie Yuan reminded, "However, as it's incomplete, don't delve too deeply, or else there may be issues."
"Hmm, this disciple understands." Mu Jinyu nodded lightly.
