Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 3929: Notebook



He had obtained this key when he had been in the outermost circle. He had obtained it through the desert, after the Sand Maidens had recognized him as their Master.

Before this, he had absolutely no idea what this key was used for, but standing in front of the main doors, he suddenly came to a realization.

Just now, he had deliberately teased Song Lan. His purpose was naturally to anger her into leaving, because once she left, the others would definitely leave as well. That way, he would be able to calmly open the door and enter alone.4

Otherwise, those people had basically advanced into the Core Formation Tier by now, and their battle prowess was not inferior to his. In fact, Song Lan was probably even superior to him. Would Ling Han be able to stop these people from entering the palace together with him?

He took a deep breath, took the key, and leaned towards the keyhole.

This key could be said to be extremely far away from this palace. In fact, it was completely unrelated to this palace, yet they were so closely linked that Ling Han couldn't help but suspect that this was the greatest secret of this Mystery Realm, as the White Lotus Ancestral King had said.

The key was inserted into the lock, and fitted seamlessly.

Ling Han broke into a grin. He turned the key. Ka, ka, ka! One twist, two twists, and right until the ninth twist, the great doors opened.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Han pulled out the key, pushed open the doors and entered.

Ahead.

An image from before suddenly flashed through Song Lan's mind. It was familiar. She was extremely smart, and she immediately stopped in her tracks. Then, she suddenly turned around.

Coincidentally, she saw the scene of Ling Han darting into the palace.

She had been tricked!

With a soft exclamation, she immediately leaped up and charged towards the palace.

However, she saw Ling Han smile at her, yet his right hand pushed the door without hesitation. Peng! The door slammed shut.

She had already charged over, but she was too late. The great doors had already closed, absorbing all the power that she had delivered.

"Ling! Han!" she said through gritted teeth. Ling Han's last smile was really too familiar to her, and she recognized him with a single look.

This detestable guy!

He had deliberately enraged her, so that she could leave. Then, he would take advantage of the opening to open the great doors. By the time she came back to her senses, it was already too late.

This was too despicable.

The others also chased after her, their faces filled with shock, especially that Liang Dongkui. He had said that it was impossible to find this key, but he was immediately slapped with his own words.

"We were deceived by him!" Everyone naturally came to their senses, but it was a shame that it was too late.

On the other side, Ling Han revealed a faint smile.

Song Lan, this little girl, was really smart. She had almost seen through him.

Ling Han turned around and looked ahead.

It was very simple and crude inside. A few pillars supported the weight of the great hall, and the ground was empty.

Ling Han strode forwards. There was a table at the end of the great hall, and there was a book laid out on the table. Perhaps that was the key.

He walked to the table, and did not easily take the book, because this great hall had gone through too many years, and who knew how much this book had deteriorated.

Thus, he was extremely careful.

The book had no cover, and there was no name on the surface either. Ling Han used his divine sense as a tentacle, and carefully turned a page.

There were words on the second page. After Ling Han glanced at them a few times, he revealed an expression of surprise.

This wasn't a cultivation technique, nor was it a celestial technique. Instead, it was a notebook that had been left behind by a predecessor.

This person's battle prowess wasn't outstanding, and when he died, he was only Sect Master- level, so it couldn't be considered that amazing. However, this person liked to study theory, especially regarding the limits of martial arts.

Ling Han saw that according to this person's deduction, the limit of the Foundation Building Tier was forming a second cornerstone of the Celestial Path, or even three!

And this wise man's deduction of the limits of the Cauldron Forging Tier was ten cauldrons.

Above the Heaven Cauldron, whether it was Four Cauldrons or Five Cauldrons, they had already broken through their limits. However, in the eyes of this predecessor, three cauldrons was only the lowest requirement for breaking through to the Core Formation Tier, and breaking through to Core Formation Tier from three cauldrons, the path of martial arts had basically reached its end.

Unless one ingested some heaven-defying Celestial medicine, they definitely wouldn't be able to break through to the True Self Tier.

Nine was the heaven and earth extreme, so if the extreme was broken, that was where the true

limit lay.

Ten cauldrons!

Ling Han pondered for a moment. Throughout history, he had never heard of anyone who had cultivated to such a heaven-defying cultivation level. However, hadn't his three Celestial Foundations also broken through the impossible acknowlegdged throughout eternity?

He secretly estimated that what limited a cultivator from reaching Four Cauldrons, Seven Cauldrons and Nine Cauldrons weren't heaven and earth, but rather oneself. Because the Celestial Cauldrons repelled each other, after reaching a certain extent, the repulsive force surpassed all else, and that was the limit of an individual.

For him, forming the ninth cauldron was indeed a little stressful, but he had not used the power of living beings in the dimensions in his body, which also meant that there was indeed a possibility that he could further squeeze out his potential.

He looked again, and this predecessor had not simply deduced the limits of each cultivation level, but also had a solution that he thought was feasible.

For example, with regards to the Foundation Building Tier, he had created a technique that could suppress the Celestial Foundation. In this way, it was possible to form a second Celestial Foundation.

It was the same for the Cauldron Forging Tier. He had also developed a technique, which allowed the various Celestial Cauldrons to impede each other, thereby weakening the pressure on the new cauldron.

The more Ling Han saw, the more astonished he became. This predecessor was practically a

genius!

Unfortunately, this wise man had died early, and had only lived for eight thousand years, and the theoretical lifespan of the Sect Master was forty thousand years. Even if the majority could not live to this age, eight thousand years was still too short a life.

Ling Han surmised that it was because this wise man's research was too heaven-defying, so he had been targeted by the heavens, exerting internal demons on him, causing him to die

young.

This deduction wasn't without reason. When the predecessor deduced the limits of the Minor Advanced Tier, he was already babbling nonsense. It was clear with a single glance that he

wasn't conscious.

Ling Han closed his notebook. If this thing spread out, it would probably cause a huge commotion. However, Ling Han believed that even if this notebook was known to everyone, how many people could really break the limit?

In fact, even if he didn't have this kind of notes, Ling Han still had the thought of breaking through to Ten Cauldrons. After all, although there were very, very few people who had reached the level of Nine Cauldronss, counting the number of people in the North Heavenly Realm, there were probably around 10 people who had reached the level of Nine Cauldrons.

Was this still called a limit?

Now, with the notes of this ancient sage, he had developed a technique that could allow the repulsive force of the Celestial Cauldrons to cancel out a portion of each other, greatly increasing the possibility of him forming ten cauldrons.

Fine, he would charge towards this Ten Cauldrons that was possibly unprecedented. Ling Han searched around the large hall again, and discovered a small Transfer Formation.

In any case, there was nothing much to stay here for, so he entered into the Transfer Formation. A streak of light swept past, and he had already appeared in another place.

This was a massive platform, and it was clearly located at an extremely high position, because

there were clouds floating around it.

Ling Han walked to the side, and when he looked outside, he was surprised, because this

platform was actually floating in the skies.

Not only that, but this platform was also in a state of high-speed movement. It was so fast

that even Ling Han couldn't catch up to it by flying on his Tool.

Thus, Ling Han didn't dare to fly off the platform and observe the situation as a whole.

He walked slowly towards the centre of the platform.
