Chapter 1618: Luo Family Treasure Vault

After the ninth level of the Saint Domain, personal understanding is required. Each person walks a different path and practices different methods, so there is no specific breakthrough method or specific cultivation technique. Now, he could only seek more insights left by powerful predecessors and then find a method suitable for himself.

"Insights on breaking through to Great Saint? There have been countless experts throughout the ages, and there are many such books, but... they can only be used for reference, not to be followed directly."

Luo Qianzhen said.

The insights of predecessors can be referenced, but... everyone's constitution and opportunities are different, so it's impossible to copy them completely. Otherwise, not only would one fail to break through, but they would also likely suffer a qi deviation.

"Thank you for the reminder, I understand!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"That's good. The clan leader is one of the most outstanding geniuses in the family over tens of thousands of years, so naturally he knows the stakes. Please follow me!"

Hearing this, Luo Qianzhen smiled.

The other party's understanding of the True Solution of Sealing was even deeper than his own understanding of space. His talent was beyond doubt, so saying too much would make him seem verbose.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here!"

Knowing he wanted to read, Luo Ruoxi didn't say much and nodded.

"Mm!" Zhang Xuan followed closely behind Luo Qianzhen and walked out. Before long, they arrived at a library.

"The lower three floors are accessible to core family disciples; the upper floors are for elders... The records of insights on breaking through to Great Saint are all here!"

Walking up the stairs to the fourth floor, Luo Qianzhen pointed ahead.

Zhang Xuan looked and saw a room full of books, mostly various notes, some in disarray, and some that had been stored for so long that characters were missing or pages were gone.

"These books are just for reference. Everyone flips through them casually; they haven't formed a system. The clan leader can browse freely. If you need anything, just let me know!"

Luo Qianzhen said.

"Mm, thank you. I'll just look around here. If anything comes up, I'll certainly trouble you!"

With that, he said no more and looked at the bookshelves before him.

Luo Qianzhen said no more and walked downstairs.

After the other left, Zhang Xuan mentally called out "Defect" and collected the books on the shelves layer by layer into the library. After about ten minutes, he had gathered them all.

"Correct!"

With a thought, a book appeared in his mind.

He quickly opened it and finished reading.

"Collecting these insights, though they haven't formed a Heavenly Dao technique, has given me a deeper understanding of the Great Saint realm."

"Seeing the spirit without decay means the divine sense is immersed in every cell and every meridian, using subtle power to transform the body, making it surpass the Saint Domain. Only then can lifespan be extended..."

Previously, divine sense could penetrate muscles and enter meridians, but reaching the realm of seeing the spirit without decay allowed it to enter cells.

Thus, if there were necrotic or diseased cells, they could be replaced, keeping the body in a peak state and enhancing combat strength.

A normal Saint Domain expert has a lifespan of about a thousand years. After eight hundred years, physical strength begins to decline, combat power can no longer compare to before, and making further breakthroughs becomes more difficult.

For this reason, the saying "break through while young" has always circulated among master teachers.

If one doesn't break through while young, when physical strength declines, even if they comprehend a higher realm, they cannot advance further.

However... after reaching the realm of seeing the spirit without decay, it's different.

With divine sense entering cells, one can detect aging or damage at any time and replace them, maintaining a peak state... Even if the end is near, if one gains insights, they can break through better and even possess the combat power of youth.

Thus, among Great Saint-level experts, the younger ones are not necessarily stronger; some older ones are even more formidable.

"I cultivate the Heavenly Dao technique, which has no flaws from the start. The Heavenly Dao true qi is extremely pure, making breaking through to Great Saint significantly harder for me than for others..."

After reviewing the collected materials in his mind, Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time and shook his head helplessly.

This realm was indeed not so easy. Even after reading so many books, he still had no most suitable method.

"First, collect all the books here. If not, I'll go back to the Zhang family and study slowly. The Zhang family should have similar insights..."

Knowing this couldn't be rushed, he set aside his chaotic thoughts and continued upstairs.

This floor contained insights on breaking through to Great Saint; there should be even higher-level books above.

Before long, he reached the top floor, collecting all the books on each floor into the library.

Leaving the library, he found Luo Qianzhen still waiting not far away. Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "I need some treasures containing pure spiritual energy, like top-grade spirit stones, for my breakthrough. Where in the clan can I get them? As clan leader, how much can I take? Is there a limit?"

Having read the books, he needed treasures like spirit stones to break through. Since he was now the Luo family head, he naturally wanted to make good use of the resources.

After all, for a large family that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, some spirit stones and treasures were nothing.

"The clan leader does have a limit, but since you've just rendered great service to the family, you can use resources freely!"

Thinking it was something major, Luo Qianzhen smiled and led the way. Soon they arrived at a treasure pavilion: "This is where our family stores treasures. Rewards for clan disciples are also distributed from here. The clan leader can browse freely. If you fancy something, just take it; no need to register..."

"Thank you!"

He didn't expect the clan leader to have such privileges. Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Take whatever he wanted... Could he move all these treasures into his ring?

If so, wouldn't he become rich instantly?

Though he thought this, Zhang Xuan knew he definitely couldn't do that.

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency. He was a master teacher, not a thief. Emptying the family's entire foundation was certainly inappropriate.

Inside the treasure vault, various special shelves stood, filled with all kinds of weapons, gems, and spirit stones.

With the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, he had no interest in these top-grade weapons. At his cultivation level, top-grade spirit stones were also of little effect, so he didn't linger.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Walking along, he suddenly stopped and raised an eyebrow.

On a shelf not far away, a tightly sealed jade box emitted spiritual energy that even made his heart stir.

"It's just a meteorite from beyond the heavens, obtained by an ancestor by chance. We don't know exactly what it is, only that it can't be refined and its spiritual energy can't be extracted, so it was left here..."

Seeing him look at the jade box, Luo Qianzhen explained with a smile.

"Meteorite from beyond the heavens?" Zhang Xuan was startled, stepped forward, reached out, took the jade box, and slowly opened it.

"Give it to me, give it to me..."

Before he could see what it was, a violent tremor suddenly shook his body, and a voice urgently transmitted.

"Who?" Zhang Xuan was shocked and alarmed.
