Chapter 1145 – Five Emperor True Manual

Just as Ouyang Shuo was out of tricks to use, the System Notification sounded out once more.

"System Notification: Agreed to the player's exchange request, but you have to pay twice the price. Do you agree?"

"Agree!"

Although he did not know why the situation had suddenly changed, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

Lacking 8 compensation value meant that he had to pay 16 points, which was equal to two substitute dolls. Ouyang Shuo thought about it and decided to use a substitute doll and a low rank God Weapon to make up for the 16 points.

After Gaia removed the storage bag, the items that Ouyang Shuo stored inside filled up an entire room. There were various random items that were impossible to place in order.

Apart from a few special items, Ouyang Shuo found a storeroom to place the others in.

"System Notification: Exchange method successful, will you exchange for the Nanhua Scripture?"

"Exchange!"

As a white light shone across, and an ancient secret manual appeared in his hands. Just as he was about to take a look, a System Notification sounded out in his ear.

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuqi for gathering the three part combination cultivation method, will you merge them? Friendly Reminder: After merging, the player has to start from scratch."

"Start from scratch? Then what would happen to my current primordial energy?"

Since he was cultivating a true secret manual, the primordial energy in his body was truly in his body and bones. Would they just disappear?

Ouyang Shuo did not understand.

"System Notification: The cultivation will be dispersed. The primordial energy will spread into the limbs and bones, strengthening the body."

The moment his cultivation was dispersed, it would mean that Ouyang Shuo's five years of cultivation were for nothing. However, when the primordial energy merges into his bones, the strength of his body would reach a terrifying level.

There were pros and cons.

"Will the opened meridians close once more?" If the meridians and veins truly closed again, Ouyang Shuo would really experience a huge fall back into the acquired realm.

"System Notification: After dispersing cultivation, without primordial energy to nourish the meridians and veins, they will naturally close up. However, since they were opened once before, it would be easier the next time."

Ouyang Shuo froze, as this price was a little big. He asked instinctively, "And what if I do not merge it?"

"System Notification: If you do not need the merge, the player can naturally train each part one by one."

"???"

Ouyang Shuo was totally confused, as this instruction was just so weird. What Ouyang Shuo did not know was that Gaia was looking at this scene with interest. It was looking forward to the choice that he would make.

Ouyang Shuo was in a tough spot.

On the surface, there was no problems if he did not merge them. Just like before, after training the Yellow Court Scripture to max, he could follow it up with the Nanhua Scripture.

With his cultivation method, he could even reach the innate 9th grade before the game ended. At that time, he would just be a foot away from the celestial realm.

This was a huge temptation.

However, Ouyang Shuo felt that something was wrong somewhere. Thinking back to the different realms that Gaia made, he felt that there was something wrong with the previous cultivation.

Starting from scratch was probably a way to test it out.

Additionally, this cultivation method was the pinnacle cultivation method of the game and was unique. There was no reason to train book by book when one gathered them all up.

If not, what would be the point of the so-called combination cultivation method?

Thinking about this, Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and made his choice based on his intuition, "I choose to merge!"

"System Notification: Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Method, Yellow Court Scripture, and Nanhua Scripture will automatically merge into one."

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for obtaining Saint Rank cultivation method Five Emperor True Manual."

Ouyang Shuo grinned; his gamble had paid off. Who would have known that when the three were merged, it would become a whole new method, and it would also be the overpowered Saint Rank cultivation method.

This made starting from scratch worth it.

While he listened to the notification, a scroll had turned into a golden light and carved itself into his mind.

Gaia, who was in the city in the skies, looked away. A smile rose up at the corner of its mouth. As expected, Ouyang Shuo did not let it down and had determination and decisiveness that were far better than a normal person.

"Only such a person is suitable for surviving on Planet Hope."

Ouyang Shuo did not care too much. He excitedly sat cross-legged, tossing aside his random thoughts and focusing on the true manual that was in his head. He was digesting the saintly scripture he had just gotten.

This sitting lasted for a full hour.

When Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes, he was brimming with energy and excitement.

"My gamble was really correct!"

As expected from a Saint Rank cultivation method, the Five Emperor True Manual was more than a level higher than the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Method. It was like a whole new door was being opened.

This cultivation method had 24 layers, and every increase would be like upgrading a grade. If Ouyang Shuo reached the 11th layer, he would be at Grade 2 of the innate realm.

Regretfully, after the 18th layer, it would be the legendary celestial realm. It was just Gaia's prediction, which had not been proven. Hence, it needed Ouyang Shuo to test it out himself.

Even so, it was really overpowering.

What made Ouyang Shuo heave a sigh of relief was that dispersing his cultivation was necessary to train in the Five Emperor True Manual. First, this cultivation method was really overpowering and could not accept other types of primordial energy.

More crucially, the cultivation method had a huge demand on bodily strength. If the cultivator did not have a strong body, once they reached the 10th layer, their body would not be able to take it.

If things went wrong, there would be the risk of his body exploding.

Ouyang Shuo had tempered his body constantly while training in the Yellow Court Scripture and Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Method. Along with the dispersal of his cultivation, he probably barely met the requirements.

In the future, he still needed to continue cultivating his body.

Whilst speaking, Ouyang Shuo could feel his body losing energy. The golden primordial energy stored in his dantian started to flow through his meridians and veins and deep into his flesh.

Some of the energy even went deep into the bones and dyed the bones a golden color.

Pain like that of his heart being drilled spread out from all parts of his body, making his face ashen white as he sweat profusely. In a short while, sweat drenched his shirt and formed a puddle of water on the ground.

His entire being was on the verge of collapse.

Even with his stamina and perseverance, he nearly could not hold on. He gritted his teeth and bore with the pain.

The entire process took less than half an hour, but it felt like a century to Ouyang Shuo. After the primordial energy went deeper into his limbs and bones, Ouyang Shuo felt warmth through all the exhaustion, soothing his being.

This feeling was like walking from hell into heaven.

This was the process of the primordial energy nourishing the body, and the entire process would take a month or even longer. Once the body digested it all up, Ouyang Shuo could compete with innate realm cultivators with the strength of his body alone.

At this moment, the city in the skies welcomed a historical moment.
