After spending some time conversing with his mother and sister, easing their worries about his absence, Li Wei excused himself and retreated to his room.
As he closed the door behind him, a hushed silence enveloped the space.
Li Wei sat cross-legged on his bed, the storage ring before him. He marvelled at the vast array of treasures contained within, his heart filled with anticipation. Carefully, he activated the ring's enchantment, causing a soft glow to emanate from it. The treasures shimmered, enticing him to explore their secrets.
His eyes widened as he beheld piles of exquisite herbs, shimmering spirit stones, and gleaming treasures. But what caught his attention the most was the staggering amount of wealth—10,000 gold taels, a fortune that would change his family's life forever. It was a gift from the sovereign whose memories he had absorbed.
With a steady hand, Li Wei began to sift through the treasures. He discovered ancient scrolls containing profound cultivation techniques, intricate talismans that radiated mystical energy, and rare elixirs that promised to enhance one's spiritual power. Each item held its own allure, a potential key to unlocking his latent potential. Though these treasures would help him only reach upto core formation level. Treasure that would help above it
Yet, his focus shifted to the sword nestled among the treasures. It emitted an enigmatic aura, as if it held a profound secret within. Li Wei gingerly picked it up, feeling the weight of its history in his hands. It was a magnificent blade, adorned with intricate engravings and a hilt wrapped in worn leather.
As he examined the sword, he realized it possessed an intricate system of restrictions, its true power locked away. It was said that with each level of cultivation breakthrough, a new restriction would be released, unleashing more of the sword's true potential. Li Wei's heart raced with excitement at the prospect of what lay dormant within the blade.
Closing his eyes, he delved into the memories of the sovereign, searching for a suitable cultivation method. The sovereign's wisdom unfolded before him, revealing a cultivation technique known as the "Soul Devouring Art."
The Soul Devouring Art was a mysterious and formidable cultivation method. It required the cultivator to cultivate their spiritual energy by devouring the remnants of defeated opponents' souls. This method granted immense power and spiritual insights, but it also carried profound darkness.
Li Wei hesitated, aware of the risks and moral dilemmas that accompanied such a path. However, the memories of the sovereign assured him that the Soul Devouring Art was a double-edged sword, capable of both destruction and protection. It was up to the cultivator to wield it with righteousness and balance.
Determined to find an alternative path, he continued his search for a cultivation method that would align more closely with his principles.
After hours of introspection, a vision emerged in his mind, revealing a profound cultivation technique known as the "Heavenly Harmony Technique." It was said to be a method of harmonizing one's inner energy with the celestial forces, allowing the cultivator to tap into the limitless power of the heavens.
Intrigued by this newfound possibility, Li Wei delved into the memories of the sovereign to understand the intricacies of the Heavenly Harmony Technique. The images unfolded before him like a divine dance, showcasing a series of precise movements and intricate breathing techniques.
The Heavenly Harmony Technique required the cultivator to synchronize their inner energy with the natural flow of the cosmos. Through meticulous practice and unwavering focus, one could harness the harmonious energy of the heavens and channel it into their own cultivation.
The vision revealed a majestic scene—a cultivator standing atop a mountain peak, surrounded by swirling clouds and shimmering starlight. Every movement was imbued with grace and power, as if they were an extension of the universe itself.
Li Wei was captivated by the elegance and grandeur of the Heavenly Harmony Technique. It offered a path of balance and connection, allowing him to draw strength from the celestial realms without resorting to devouring souls. It resonated with his desire to protect and nurture, rather than dominate and destroy.
The sovereign had not cultivated the Heaven Harmony Technique. Instead, he had already achieved the pinnacle of cultivation through another technique, one that had propelled him to the Celestial Ascension Realm. Li Wei realized that in order to cultivate the Heaven Harmony Technique, the sovereign would have needed to abolish his current cultivation and start anew.
Moreover, as Li Wei attempted to recall the sovereign's name, he encountered an inexplicable barrier. Each time he tried to form the name on his lips or even in his thoughts, it slipped away like a fleeting dream. It was as if the world itself conspired to keep the name hidden, as if there was a powerful intent imbued in the sovereign's name that forbade its revelation.
With a furrowed brow, Li Wei pondered this strange phenomenon. He delved deeper into his memories, searching for any clues or explanations. It was then that he discovered a crucial piece of information. Only cultivators of the Core Formation Realm and above were considered worthy enough to overcome the powerful intent blocking the revelation of the sovereign's name.
Realizing the significance of this revelation, Li Wei's determination grew even stronger. He understood that in order to uncover the truth behind the sovereign and his legacy, he had to continue advancing in his cultivation. The obstacles he faced only fueled his resolve to break through each barrier, one realm at a time.
With newfound determination, Li Wei made the decision to embrace the Heavenly Harmony Technique as his cultivation method. He felt a surge of energy within him, as if the very heavens had acknowledged his choice. This is where the journey of the Heaven Ruler started, a title which would fill everybody who heard it with reverence and would shake the very foundation of time and fate.
As he stepped away from the memories, Li Wei's aura transformed once again. The air around him shimmered with ethereal energy, as if he had become a conduit between the mortal realm and the celestial planes. The name of the technique echoed in his mind, evoking a sense of awe and reverence.
"The Celestial Harmonization Art," Li Wei whispered, his voice filled with determination. It was a method that would allow him to cultivate his inner energy in harmony with the celestial forces, unlocking his true potential while maintaining his integrity and compassion.
With the treasures of the storage ring at his disposal and the Celestial Harmonization Art as his chosen path, Li Wei embarked on a journey that would not only shape his own destiny but also inspire others to seek harmony and balance in their cultivation.
With a renewed sense of purpose, Li Wei vowed to embark on a journey of self-discovery and cultivation. The path ahead may be treacherous and filled with challenges, but he was ready to face them head-on. The mysteries of the town's inner part beckoned, and Li Wei would not rest until he unlocked its secrets and unleashed his true potential.
