Chapter 260 The Immortal Palace Behind the Mural?

The practice of flying skills not only did not consume any of Xu Ran's spiritual energy, but instead made the spiritual energy and innate energy in his body more abundant, so he had no problem directly comprehending the magical powers.

After calming himself down again, Xu Ran came to the mural depicting supernatural powers.

Looking closely, he saw a little man rising into the air above the mural, with nine immortal swords suspended behind him. The shape and aura of each immortal sword were different, but the same thing was that the aura of each immortal sword was extremely terrifying. Even in the mural, the breathtaking pressure still made Xu Ran a little breathless.

"Whoohoo-"

After a long while, Xu Ran finally escaped from the pressure in the mural, touched his chest and exclaimed in admiration.

"The aura of this magical power is truly terrifying. Just the mural alone can emit such a terrifying pressure. If it were truly unleashed, wouldn't it destroy heaven and earth?"

This stone wall is very strange. Only if you calm down and observe it, you can feel the pressure in it. If you just admire it like Xiaobai, you can't feel it at all.

"But how can I comprehend the magical power on the stone wall?" Xu Ran was suddenly confused.

Although the magical powers on this mural are terrifying, there is only a picture of an immortal flying in the air. Apart from that, there are no words or runes. In this case, how can one comprehend it?

"Could it be that, like animal hides and precious bones, they require physical contact?"

Xu Ran guessed and put his little hand on the stone wall, but nothing happened.

"No, do I need to circulate spiritual energy?"

Xu Ran experimented again, with a faint layer of spiritual energy on his hands, and touched the stone wall. The result was still the same, no reaction.

"Or not!"

Xu Ran fell into deep thought again.

Such a terrifying magical power, standing on such a towering cliff in the mountains, if it weren't for Xiaobai, he would definitely not have discovered it. Moreover, birds of prey cannot learn human magical powers.

Therefore, this mural has an effect of being placed at such a high place, which is screening. Only those who are capable of coming here can learn this magical power.

"Do we need to drop blood to test our talent?"

He guessed again, then pricked his finger, a drop of blood fell on the wall, and nothing happened.

"It's still not right?" Xu Ran felt helpless.

There was definitely nothing wrong with his idea. To learn such magical powers, one must have talent. Blood and spiritual energy wouldn't work, so what would?

Do you need a token?
But there isn't any recessed mechanism on this stone wall?

Xu Ran pondered.

Suddenly, he patted his head and said in annoyance.

"My brain!" Xu Ran's eyes lit up as he looked at the stone wall in front of him. "If I were to ask what kind of talent is the best, it would undoubtedly be Xiantian Qi!"

"What kind of talent can compare with innate energy?"

The innate qi has existed since the birth of heaven and earth, and it only exists for a short period of time in humans during infancy. Apart from that, there is no other way to obtain it.

Who can be like Xu Ran, who not only has the memory of his past life, but also has external plug-in reminders.

After thinking it through, wisps of innate energy flowed out of his body. At the moment the innate energy appeared, the murals on the stone wall began to change. Seeing this, Xu Ran exclaimed, "It works!"

Immediately, he paid close attention to the contents on the mural.

The mural, which was originally just a picture, began to rotate, merge, and decompose. After a while, mysterious runes with a hint of golden light appeared on the mural. The entire cliff was emitting a layer of light golden color, covering the cliff.

At the same time, Xu Ran's Tianqiao seemed to have sensed something and suddenly emitted a golden light. The runes on the mural were also sensed and flew directly towards the Tianqiao and merged into the spiritual ocean.

In an instant, the golden light on the cliff disappeared. When Xu Ran looked at the stone wall again, he saw that the mural on it had disappeared and turned into an ordinary stone.

Xu Ran was a little confused about what had just happened, "That's it?"

Immediately, a golden light rose in the spiritual ocean. Xu Ran's consciousness returned to the spiritual ocean, and he saw nine huge swords standing above the spiritual ocean, emitting bursts of pressure. The golden giant eagle that had just settled in the spiritual ocean was now hiding in the ocean, not daring to show its head.

"These are the nine magic swords behind the immortal in the mural!" Xu Ran was a little surprised that the nine magic swords actually appeared in his spiritual ocean.

Before Xu Ran could react, the first immortal sword shot out a golden light, which went straight into the body of the little man transformed from Xu Ran's consciousness.

Suddenly, countless memories flashed through Xu Ran's mind. The huge amount of information instantly merged into his mind, making him a little overwhelmed for a while.

"what!!"

Xu Ran's voice wailed in the ocean of spirit, extremely painful.

at this time.

Xu Ran was lying on the ground, trembling all over, sweating profusely. After a while, his whole body was wet, and even a large area of ​​the ground was wet.

Xiaobai, who was standing by, had no idea what had happened. He only knew that the mural had disappeared and its owner, Xu Ran, was lying on the ground. He had no way to do anything and could only stand by and worry.

In the spiritual ocean.

Xu Ran was in extreme pain at this moment. His head felt like it was about to explode. Countless disorganized memories that did not belong to him entered his head. It was something that most people could not bear.

Just when Xu Ran was about to be unable to bear it, a familiar breath slowly floated over. Suddenly, the innate energy in his body began to churn and all poured into the spiritual ocean.

With the influx of innate energy, the pain began to slowly ease, and after a while, it returned to normal. At the same time, the nine immortal swords standing in the spiritual ocean also disappeared at this moment.

Only at this time did Xu Ran realize what had just happened, and also knew the name of this magical power - Immortal Sword Technique.

Immortal Sword Technique - A sword technique driven by innate energy that can kill immortals.

"No wonder the Immortal Sword Technique requires the feeling of the innate energy to be activated. Originally, it was a sword technique that was driven by the innate energy!"

At this moment, Xu Ran knew what the memory that had just merged into his mind was. It was the sword-fighting insights left behind by countless predecessors who had practiced the immortal sword technique, including the insights and practice methods of the first to ninth swords.

However, this magic sword technique needs to be mastered step by step. You must first thoroughly master the previous sword before you can know the secrets of the latter.

The golden light that just shot into Xu Ran's body included the prologue of the Immortal Sword Technique - the sword-cultivating technique.

You need to use the innate energy to cultivate the first sword in your body before you can practice the first chapter of the Immortal Sword Art.

"That makes sense. How can one practice the art of immortal swordsmanship without a sword?"

Immediately, Xu Ran, according to the contents of the prologue, began to use the innate energy to nurture the first immortal sword in his body.

Within the spiritual ocean, hundreds of strands of innate energy converged toward the sky. Xu Ran manipulated these strands, deftly weaving through the air. Gradually, they formed into mysterious runes, each imbued with supreme aura. With the insights gained from his predecessors in cultivating the Immortal Sword Technique, the sword cultivation process went smoothly, though it did take Xu Ran a full day.

This process seems very simple, but only Xu Ran knows how difficult it is. Hundreds of strands of innate energy mean that hundreds of strands of innate energy need to be controlled at the same time, and one needs to concentrate on it to form mysterious and complex runes.

Moreover, the entire process must be error-free. Once a failure occurs, one must start over again. It will take one day to weave all the innate energy.

In the spiritual ocean, a golden hilt suddenly appeared.

Xu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said weakly, "With nearly five hundred strands of innate energy, I can only weave the hilt of the first immortal sword. If I want to weave a complete immortal sword, I will need thousands or tens of thousands of innate energy. How long will it take?!"

Xu Ran felt helpless.

This process is so painful.

But fortunately, all things are difficult at the beginning. Once you get through the most difficult part, the rest will be much easier.

To acquire innate energy, one only needs to practice diligently every day. When one is older and taller, then when one goes out to gain experience, it will not attract too much attention.

Only experience is the best way to practice.

Looking at the hilt of the sword he had woven, Xu Ran withdrew from the spiritual ocean with satisfaction.

Simultaneously.

outside world.

Xiaobai sat beside Xu Ran all day, wiping the sweat off his forehead with a feather from time to time.

During this whole day, Xiaobai did not dare to leave the house for fear of any accidents.

But fortunately, apart from the extreme pain at the beginning, the rest of the time, apart from sweating a little, there was no big problem.

When Xu Ran opened his eyes, he saw Xiaobai wiping his sweat and asked, "Xiaobai, how are you?"

Xiaobai shook his head and pointed outside instead.

"What do you mean?" Xu Ran was a little confused.

Xiaobai gestured again, and now he understood what it meant.

"You said that I have been unconscious for a day?" Xu Ran was a little surprised.

I thought it would only be a quarter of an hour, but I didn't expect that such a long time would pass in the outside world. If I don't go home for a whole day, my parents at home will be worried to death!

Xu Ran, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, immediately stood up and said, "Let's go back now, otherwise, my parents will be so worried."

The moment Xu Ran and Xiaobai turned around, the stones of the original mural instantly turned into powder, fell to the ground, and mixed with the dust. Under the previous mural, another layer of mural appeared.

On the new mural, there appeared a vortex-shaped passage made up of clouds, with mist swirling around it, like the entrance to a fairyland.

"What is this?" Xu Ran, who was about to leave, came to the vortex and reached out to touch it, but he passed through it. It was as if the vortex-shaped cloud did not belong to this time and space. He could only see it but not touch it.

Xiaobai was also very confused. He had never seen such a scene before and had no idea what was going on.

Just when the man and the falcon were confused, a line of words suddenly appeared on it.

[You can enter only after you have mastered the Immortal Sword Technique]

Seeing this string of characters, Xu Ran, who was a little confused just now, suddenly became excited.

"Could this be the entrance to some kind of inheritance?"

In order to enter this magical place, the first requirement to be met is the perfection of the Immortal Sword Art, which means that the things here are closely related to the Immortal Sword Art.

Anyone who can be closely related to the art of immortal swordsmanship is at least a powerful person, and the kind of powerful person who can destroy the world. That is the perfection of the art of immortal swordsmanship!

Perfection! How much innate energy does that require to achieve this?

Just the hilt of the first immortal sword cost Xu Ran nearly five hundred strands of innate energy.

To be able to create such a magical inheritance as the Immortal Sword Art, how powerful must one be! !
The most important thing is the innate energy. Once you can enter it, you may be able to find a way to quickly increase the innate energy.

Xiaobai was also very excited. As the first monster to see the Fairy Sword Technique, he could see its power just from the murals. How could it be bad if it was related to the Fairy Sword Technique?

Perhaps, there are even more powerful magical powers in this inheritance.

"This immortal sword technique that is used to test talent is so powerful. How terrifying is the inheritance inside?" Xu Ran was amazed.

You know, in the inherited memory of the Immortal Sword Technique, it is clearly recorded that it is possible to kill immortals.

This magical power that was put outside to test one's talent could kill an immortal, so what was inside? What was it?
With Xu Ran's current knowledge, he couldn't even imagine it!!

As he was thinking, Xu Ran once again placed his hand into the vortex formed by the clouds, and the feeling that did not belong to this space came again.

"This is the art of space!"

There is no need to say how powerful the art of space is. It can place a legacy directly into a space. Moreover, this space has a unique detection mechanism. Such means are extremely terrifying.

Once I master it, I can roam freely between heaven and earth!!

However, Xu Ran, who had calmed down from his excitement, quickly thought of a problem.

"If even the most powerful inheritance needs to be tested using this method, will such inheritance disappear in the tide of time?"

If this is true, what kind of power can make such an inheritance choose such a covert way of inheritance?
But soon, Xu Ran threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and his eyes became firm.

"No matter what happens, as long as I am determined, what kind of thing can't I overcome?"

"Anyway, I already have enough responsibilities. Even if it's really as I think, one more won't make a difference!!"

Xiaobai could feel Xu Ran's inner changes throughout the whole process. He was also determined. He held his head high and responded silently to Xu Ran's words.

After saying that, Xu Ran patted Xiaobai, turned around and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobai, we will be back soon. Then, we will explore this inheritance together!"

Immediately, Xu Ran sat on Xiaobai's back and left the cliff.

The moment Xu Ran left, the clouds around the vortex slowly dissipated and turned into an ordinary stone without any murals on it.

And this cliff, looking down from above, turned into a mountain peak that reached into the clouds, as if the cliff had never appeared.
