The Sect.
Chu Xingchen led Cui Hao toward the southwestern corner of the sect.
There stood a pre-built system structure—the Martial Training Hall.
The terrain there wasn’t particularly flat, leaving little room for future constructions.
Recruiting Lin Luoyu had completed a system-assigned task—enrolling the fourth disciple.
The hall itself was rather simple, constructed with materials that weren’t excessively expensive.
At the time, Chu Xingchen had directly allocated funds for Ning Kun to oversee its construction.
Once completed, the Martial Training Hall’s effects were immediately apparent.
It provided a certain degree of enhancement when cultivating martial techniques and divine abilities.
Thus, disciples like Li Yingling would always come here to train in their divine abilities and other skills.
After all, the benefits were undeniable.
As for whether it improved cultivation techniques…
Chu Xingchen had to admit—it most likely didn’t.
For insights into cultivation techniques, the real breakthrough would come from the Enlightenment Chamber, a system reward granted after the construction of the True Martial Hall.
Still, Chu Xingchen figured it was better to take advantage of any available boosts, just in case they somehow helped.
Even if Cui Hao didn’t need it, Chu Xingchen himself might stumble upon some inspiration to incorporate into the [Blazing Heaven’s Golden Path Scripture].
Yes, this impressively named cultivation technique was mostly written by Chu Xingchen himself.
It might sound unreliable at first glance.
But!
Chu Xingchen was now a genuine top-tier Karmic Nascent Soul cultivator, with considerable insights into many advanced cultivation techniques.
Take, for example, the Water Heart Scripture of his eldest disciple, the unorthodox cultivation method of his second disciple, or even Chen Baiqing’s…
In short, with so many high-level scriptures as references,
even if he couldn’t create something on par with the techniques his disciples practiced,
crafting an advanced scripture that could at least carry Cui Hao to the Golden Core stage shouldn’t be too difficult.
By the time Cui Hao, with his aptitude, reached Golden Core, Chu Xingchen himself would likely be at the Nascent Soul or even Soul Formation stage—plenty of time to refine the scripture further.
Besides, this wasn’t the final version.
Had they forgotten how the Water Heart Scripture had undergone eighteen furious revisions?
If Chu Xingchen’s current understanding fell short of an Emperor’s, he could always revise this self-created scripture a dozen more times.
He could only blame the secrecy of the cultivation world, so unlike the open exchange of insights among the grandmasters behind the Water Heart Scripture.
Most sects guarded their techniques jealously, reserving the best for their direct disciples.
The few reliable techniques comparable to those suited for his system-assigned disciples were mostly held by top-tier sects in the Central Continent.
Chu Xingchen currently had no means to obtain them.
Rather than forcing Cui Hao to practice some obscure, mediocre technique,
it was better for Chu Xingchen to personally tailor one for him.
Naturally, this scripture wasn’t designed to be overly unconventional—after all, future revisions were inevitable.
So, Chu Xingchen borrowed some concepts from the Spirit Nurturing Art.
In short, this scripture was built on the principle that no matter how recklessly one practiced it, nothing disastrous would happen.
As for why its name sounded so grand and imposing…
Well, the cultivation world never stipulated that a scripture’s name had to correlate with its content!
Cui Hao followed closely behind his master as they entered the Martial Training Hall.
The hall consisted of two parts: the first was an ornate, dignified single-story building adorned with carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
However, this section was rather small—by Chu Xingchen’s estimate, only about a hundred square meters.
Compact, but refined.
The second part was an open-air training platform, exposed to the elements.
Surprisingly, the more unassuming training platform was the more expensive of the two.
The stones paving it were Spirit-Suppressing Stones, capable of absorbing spiritual energy impacts.
Apart from Cui Hao, the others were still participating in the event organized by their eldest senior sister.
No one had followed out of curiosity.
Chu Xingchen naturally didn’t lead Cui Hao to the training platform but instead stepped inside the Martial Training Hall.
While the exterior was imposing, the interior furnishings—tables, chairs, and the like—were ordinary mortal-made items bought with silver.
"Close the door behind you."
Chu Xingchen flicked his wrist, summoning a sphere of pure white spiritual light to illuminate the room.
Candles were available, but Chu Xingchen preferred the clarity of spiritual illumination.
Cui Hao obeyed, shutting the door before hurrying to his master’s side and bowing respectfully.
He signaled that he was ready.
All that remained was for his master to explain the intricacies of the [Blazing Heaven’s Golden Path Scripture].
Who knew? Practicing this scripture might even help him catch up to his fourth senior sister, Lin Luoyu.
Chu Xingchen sat in the main seat, his expression solemn as he spoke in a serious tone:
"Before you begin cultivating, there are a few things I must make clear."
"Please enlighten me, Master."
"This scripture is deeply tied to me. Once you start practicing it, no one else must know of its existence—not even your senior brothers or sisters."
Cui Hao was taken aback. Was the scripture so profound that even his master spoke of it with such gravity?
He quickly bowed again and vowed, "This disciple swears that no one else will learn of it."
"Not even if your eldest senior sister beats it out of you."
"...I swear, even if she beats me to death, I won’t speak a word."
Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction.
"Additionally, this scripture is of an exceedingly high level, encompassing myriad truths. Its cultivation method adapts to different circumstances, and I will fine-tune it based on your progress."
Cui Hao, moved, replied, "This disciple deeply appreciates Master’s care."
"If I don’t care for my own disciple, who else should I care for? Just remember my efforts in the future."
Chu Xingchen gestured for him to approach. "Come closer. I’ll explain the key points of this scripture."
Cui Hao stepped forward eagerly, listening intently as his master unraveled the mysteries of the scripture.
Fifteen minutes later.
From his master’s explanation alone, the scripture indeed seemed extraordinary—earth-shaking, heaven-defying.
Yet… some parts sounded oddly familiar.
But given its all-encompassing nature, overlaps with other techniques were to be expected.
Another fifteen minutes passed.
Cui Hao now had a profound understanding of this supreme scripture, with some concepts clicking instantly.
Truly, a top-tier scripture carried the essence of simplicity within profundity.
He was deeply grateful for his master’s efforts in securing such a scripture for him.
Then, it struck him—the familiar parts he’d noticed earlier…
They resembled passages from the Spirit Nurturing Art, which he had practiced to perfection.
But he quickly dismissed the absurd thought.
How could the lowly Spirit Nurturing Art compare to the [Blazing Heaven’s Golden Path Scripture]?
No doubt the former had borrowed a fragment of wisdom from this divine scripture.
By the time Chu Xingchen finished explaining, Cui Hao had grasped the essence of the scripture, nearly achieving full comprehension.
Truly, his master’s teaching prowess was peerless.
Lin Luoyu’s [Nine Mystic Virtues Scripture] had taken five full days under their eldest senior sister’s guidance.
This one is clearly far more profound, yet Master only needed to explain it for a short while before I grasped it.
Master is truly remarkable.
Chu Xingchen gave Cui Hao an encouraging pat on the shoulder:
"Stay here and focus on your cultivation for now. I’ll make sure no one disturbs you."
Cui Hao nodded gratefully, his eyes sincere as he respectfully watched his master depart.
Without delay, he sat down cross-legged and began practicing the supreme cultivation technique his master had just imparted.
The moment he entered meditation, Cui Hao started circulating the new technique.
At first, he had worried that switching to this new method might clash with his previous cultivation.
But as soon as he activated the new technique,
the spiritual energy cultivated through his prior Refining Qi Divine Art showed no resistance whatsoever.
It was like a father gently guiding his son—utterly seamless, without the slightest obstruction.
Truly, this was the mark of a supreme technique.
Incredible.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
