The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 204: Scripture and Inheritance

"Another one."

In a desolate dense forest, Chen An casually moved his hand and found another spiritual herb.

This was a good spiritual herb, with a wide range of uses and high value.

Looking at the appearance of this spiritual herb in front of him, he estimated that it had been around for at least a few hundred years, making its medicinal effect even more precious.

"It's a shame, there's no alchemy furnace."

Chen An felt a bit regretful, but he did not hesitate and directly swallowed this spiritual herb.

Yes, that's how simple and brutal it was.

There was no other way.

There were no alchemy furnaces in this place, and yet spiritual herbs were everywhere. If he wanted to make use of them, he could only use this most direct method.

As for taking things out?

A joke, there were people watching outside.

If he took things out, before he could even get them in his hands, he would be cut in half, and the remaining half would most likely not all belong to him.

Chen An could easily figure out that with the temperaments of the elders of Haoshan Sect, wouldn't they try to get a share of his harvest?

If he were like Elder Disciple Liu Roujun, with status and background, maybe he could keep more things.novellise

But someone like him, with no status or background, would probably only be able to keep one or two tenths of what he found, once he took them out.

Chen An was not interested in gambling on other people's consciences.

So his method was very straightforward, find something and use it.

Many spiritual herbs were directly swallowed, and although they would not cause much change in a short period of time, over time their medicinal effects would gradually change his physique, eventually even slightly improving his talent.

After all, it was costless, no matter what, it wasn't a loss.

Walking out of this area, Chen An looked up towards the distance.

"Getting closer."

He muttered to himself.

Under his gaze, a giant pillar stood in the distance, like a pillar supporting the spine of this world.

This was the most prominent sight in this secret realm.

No matter which direction you were in the secret realm, you could clearly see that pillar, very clearly and obviously.

Even at night, there would be a faint divine light shining from there, illuminating all directions.

There was no moon in this secret realm, and the light at night was provided by that pillar, barely allowing for visibility.

"According to the information I gathered before, that pillar is the core of this secret realm. The closer you get to the pillar, the better things you can find nearby, but the more dangerous the environment becomes."

Chen An's eyes were deep, his mind filled with various thoughts.

This secret realm was not completely peaceful, as there were also dangers.

For example, the various natural disasters that existed in the secret realm, as well as the occasional appearance of terrifying exotic beasts, were all sources of danger.

This secret realm was a restoration of the ancient environment, with many exotic creatures with extraordinary bloodlines, naturally powerful.

It was said that inside that pillar, there might be life forms strong enough to rival the Gold Dan or even surpass it.

The outside cultivators had discussed this matter, and finally agreed that this was a trial set up by the sage.

The sage was compassionate, deliberately setting up the secret realm for the benefit of future cultivators, but also leaving behind trials for future generations.

That pillar was the guide, as you got closer to the secret realm the better things you could find, but the dangers also increased.

This trial tested the personal abilities of the cultivators.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the rewards, which was very reasonable.

Chen An looked up, gazing at the pillar in the distance, then stepped forward without hesitation, walking towards it.

Naturally, he wanted to get closer to the pillar.

For him, this was a very beneficial thing. If he succeeded, he could get many rewards, and even if he failed, he wouldn't lose much, he could just withdraw.

At the same time, all over the secret realm, he didn't know how many people had made similar choices.

As for others, Chen An was not clear, but he had experienced many things on his way.

He passed through dangerous places, engaged in fierce battles in several areas.

The closer he got to the pillar, the more terrifying the crises became all over.

Eventually, Chen An encountered several exotic beasts that were comparable to the Gold Dan, and fought several battles with them.

These exotic beasts possessed powerful bloodlines, natural strength, and although they lacked intelligence, they had innate strength.

Fortunately, they did not cultivate, so their methods were somewhat single-minded, not as good as those of cultivators of the same realm.

As Chen An walked along, he solved many troubles and gained considerable benefits.

However, most of the things he obtained were swallowed on the spot to replenish himself and heal his injuries.

There was no other way, even as a cultivator of the Xiantian realm, he was very uncomfortable after walking for so long.novellise

Fortunately, there were many treasures to be picked up everywhere, and as long as he refined their divinity and essence, he could quickly recover his body.

During this process, Chen An also gained refinement, and his strength improved significantly.

In this secret realm, he already had a feeling.

Perhaps if he continued like this, he wouldn't need to upgrade his template, and could directly advance to the second level of the Xiantian realm.

Perhaps it was because he was in the secret realm of the sage, the restrictions and suppression that existed in the outside world were much weaker here, and could no longer affect Chen An's breakthrough.

This was perhaps the result of the sage's legacy.

After all, this was a secret realm left by the sage, and even the doctrine of the Emperor could not fully play its original role.

Because of this, Chen An had the opportunity to break through.

But compared to his martial cultivation, what was more obvious was the transformation of Chen An's Purple Mansion.

In just one month, his Purple Mansion had undergone tremendous changes.

Before entering the secret realm, his Purple Mansion was originally chaotic, with a small space opened up and weak divine power, almost close to nothing.

But in just over a month, his Purple Mansion had changed drastically, filled with powerful divinity.

The rolling divine power brewed within it, constantly expanding the Purple Mansion, turning it into a new look.novellise

This Purple Mansion was no longer comparable to what it was when it was first opened.

The reason for such a huge change was because Chen An had swallowed too many treasures during this time.

The essence of those treasures remained in his body, slowly changing his physique and causing his Purple Mansion to begin to transform and expand on its own.

One must know that Chen An had killed several Gold Dan level exotic beasts before, and had refined their blood essence into his body.

With such vigorous and powerful spiritual power, if not for Chen An's martial body absorbing most of it, his Purple Mansion would have burst open.

Right now, it was only partially expanded, which was not a big deal.

Chen An remained calm about this.

After a month had passed, his cultivation had automatically changed, unknowingly reaching the second level of the Foundation Building stage.

This was without him practicing at all.

After this trial ended, once he left the secret realm and focused on cultivating for a period of time, he could probably advance in the shortest time possible. At that time, his cultivation level would increase by several levels at the very least.

But Chen An was not moved by this, he remained indifferent and continued to move forward.

After experiencing numerous battles, his mind was slowly changing and he was gaining insight into the omnipresent forces, silently transforming himself.

And now, he was very close to his goal.

The pillar was right in front of him.

"Almost there."

Standing in front of the pillar, Chen An muttered to himself, thoughts flashing through his mind, then he stepped forward and headed towards it.

Chen An originally thought that there should only be him under the pillar.

After all, the dangers around this area were visible to the naked eye.

There were terrifying exotic beasts everywhere, even the weakest of them could match the Foundation Building stage, and the slightly stronger ones could match the Core Formation stage.

There were even exotic beast kings that were comparable to the Gold Dan level, and there were more than just one or two of them in this place.

This kind of place was obviously not somewhere an ordinary person could come to.

But after he really arrived at this place, Chen An found that there might not be many people who came here, but there were not too few either.

Around the area, Chen An clearly saw some traces, evidence that other people had been here.

This made him a bit interested.

He himself had found the journey quite difficult, and he guessed that if one's strength was a bit weaker, they would have died on the way.

If even he, as a Foundation Building stage cultivator, found it so difficult to get here, how did those people come here?

Curious in his heart, he carefully investigated and finally found the answer.

By chance, he saw a group of people rushing out from a corner, being chased by a Core Formation level exotic beast.novellise

The scene was quite interesting.

Although the Core Formation level exotic beast was powerful, the group of people had various methods at their disposal, and in just a short moment, they used all kinds of magical instruments to escape from the beast's chase and leave the place.

The whole process left Chen An speechless.

At that moment, he probably understood what was going on.

Indeed, poverty blinded his imagination.

Compared to Chen An, others did not have his kind of strength.

But others had money!

As the saying goes, with money you can go anywhere, as long as you have money, nothing is impossible.

After all, this secret realm only restricted the age of the cultivators, but did not restrict their other methods.

Methods – as long as they existed, they were reasonable.

Even if it was a Foundation Building stage cultivator, holding magical instruments and talismans bestowed by a Core Formation stage cultivator, wasn't that very reasonable?

This was why these people were able to get here.

Rich and willful.

From their words, Chen An also learned some interesting information.

After a long exploration, some rules of this secret realm had already been discovered by people.

For example, on the last day of each month, a portal would open under the pillar in this secret realm.

On that day, as long as someone could climb the nine steps, they could pull down a treasure from it.

"Pull down? A key?"

After hearing the information, Chen An knocked that person out, then turned around and left.

That night, he silently sat next to the pillar as the person had said.

Sure enough, with his mental focus, a strange aura appeared, floating out from the pillar beside him.

It was a scripture!

Chen An opened his eyes in an instant.

In just a blink of an eye, he had received a complete teaching of a scripture.

This scripture had a very loud name.

The Art of Spiritual Transformation.
