He Zhenghao nodded, immediately circulated the âSupreme Primordial
Scripture,â and dissolved his cultivation of âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ.
He began to cultivate âThe Hidden Dragon Technique of Mountains and Riversâ.
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 Zhenghaoâs 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.
âTruly worthy of a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, its aura is majestic and exceptional indeed,â 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. âHow does it feel?â Looking at He Zhenghao, whose demeanor and temperament had both changed, Li Fan asked.
âThe 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,â He Zhenghao said joyfully before once again expressing his gratitude to Li Fan.
âAh, Iâve said thereâs no need for formalities between us. Weâre now in the same boat. Your increasing strength is good for me and not harmful at all!â
âFocus on your cultivation and strive to enter the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible,â Li Fan encouraged.
He Zhenghao nodded in agreement.
âBy the way, what do you plan to do with the âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ you were cultivating before? Sell it to the Tianxuan Mirror?â Li Fan asked casually.
âYes, it is after all a Golden Core Technique, so it should still have some value in contribution points,â He Zhenghao replied.
âHow much can you get for it?â
âLet me check.â He Zhenghao took out a Jade Scroll and began communicating with the Small Tianxuan Mirror.
âItâs only worth forty-five thousand contribution points?â A moment later, disappointment spread across He Zhenghaoâs face.
âNever mind then, it will be good to get some points back!â He Zhenghao gritted his teeth, ready to sell the Jade Scroll with the âThe Mountain-Seating
Secretâ to the Tianxuan Mirror.
At that moment, Li Fan suddenly spoke up to stop him.
âWait!â
He Zhenghao turned to look at Li Fan: âWhatâs the matter, friend?â
Li Fan shook his head: âForty-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.â
He Zhenghao was overjoyed: âThatâs great! Iâll leave this matter to you then.â
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 Zhenghaoâs 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 âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ?
As expected, without even looking at the Jade Scroll, Li Fan directly put it into his Storage Ring.
âOnce the deal is done, I will transfer the contribution points to you.â
âWhen you have these contribution points, thereâs no rush to pay me back. Your priority should be to use Enlightenment to quickly improve your cultivation.â
Li Fan advised.
He Zhenghao showed a grateful expression.
Li Fan didnât linger any longer and directly went back to the Tianxuan Mirror.
With no need to hide anymore, he took out the Jade Scroll of âThe
Mountain-Seating Secretâ 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.
âAs I thought, the âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ that was reproduced before was incomplete.â
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.
âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ, being a Technique passed down since ancient times, should be the same.
However, the âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ 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 âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ 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 âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ.
And the result did not disappoint Li Fan.
In addition to the miraculous techniques like âSensing Earth Veinsâ, âStrength to Uproot Mountainsâ, and âMountain Man Integrationâ ,
The complete version of âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ also possesses another strong feature that can rival âSitting Mountain Secretâ.
This is the essence of the word âsittingâ in sitting Mountain. Itâs 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 âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ 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 Fanâs.
Itâs as if he carries Li Fan on his back, advancing while carrying a burden.
When the cultivatorâs realm is the same as Li Fanâs, all of his cultivation progress will prioritize on increasing Li Fanâs cultivation.
If Li Fan is stuck at a bottleneck in this lifetime and canât break through,
Then this cultivator will also never progress, lingering at his current stage.
âExtremely vicious,â were the only words Li Fan could come up with to describe [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain] from âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ.
Li Fan guessed that perhaps because of He Zhenghaoâs character, he didnât wish to make enemies and didnât 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 cultivatorâs realm must be at least one small realm lower than oneâs own for the technique to be successful.
Also, there are certain side effects.
As the saying goes, obstruct someoneâs path, and thereâs no peace till death.
The longer the effects of [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain] last, the stronger the suppression gets, and the victimâs sense of it becomes stronger.
Even though he canât 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 âItâs either you die, or I dieâ.
Despite all these restrictions, in Li Fanâs view, the suppressive power of âThe Mountain-Seating Secretâ is still very strong.
Because the control of [Sitting on the Pinnacle of the Mountain]âs effects is always in the hands of the person casting the spell.
Suppress for three to five years, feeling itâs 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 doesnât care about making lifelong enemies.
The mortal enemy of this lifetime, might even become a close friend in the next life,
