Chapter 21: Labyrinth

  Fang Tian Nan knew that, whether in the Qing Yun Sect or other sects, most cultivation methods were tailored to a specific realm of the cultivator. He had previously heard about many ordinary disciples of the Qing Yun Sect exchanging contribution points for suitable cultivation methods at the Dream Pavilion.

  One is the attribute of this technique, which needs to match the practitioner's physical quality. Just like a fire-attribute innate talent practitioner, if he rashly cultivates water-attribute techniques, it will naturally be counterproductive. However, for martial artists at the warrior level, there are generally no outstanding techniques or martial skills. As for the ordinary disciples of Qingyun Sect, they are not particularly outstanding in their innate talents. No wonder Fang Tian Nan has never wasted precious sect contribution points.

  Secondly, at that time, Fang Tian Nan's actual strength was only at the level of a Ming Jing realm warrior. As an initial-stage cultivator, simple basic sword techniques and fist methods were enough for him to deal with the challenge of the demon beast or normal external training. Why bother spending contribution points to exchange for Ming Jing realm cultivation techniques?

  Once Fang Tiannan's cultivation reaches the Dark Energy Realm, the previous cultivation methods of the Bright Energy Realm will be eliminated and new ones need to be exchanged for contribution points from Meng Zhanggui.

  This is naturally a good thing for Meng Zhanggu. The more people who exchange, the more his gains will be. However, for ordinary disciples of Qingyun Sect, it is a huge expense.

  Of course, in Fang Tian Nan's heart, he was also very clear. The ordinary disciples of the Qing Yun Sect were not one thousand, but eight or nine hundred. Among so many ordinary disciples, only a dozen or twenty people could become outer sect disciples of the Qing Yun Sect. Such a probability, while describing the difficulties of a cultivator's path, also made the vast majority of ordinary disciples understand that their future might not necessarily be able to advance to higher levels of martial artists.

  Under the existing resources, exchange a set of suitable skills to make yourself as strong as possible. Even if you are not eventually accepted by Qingyun Sect, it is convenient to turn to do other things.

  Only a young man like Fang Tian Nan who has a firm belief in his cultivation path can persist with his true self.

  。。。。。。

  After Fang Tian Nan became an outer disciple of Qing Yun Sect, he was also looking forward to exchanging a set of Dark Energy Realm cultivation techniques from the sect. In fact, before this, his combat strength, compared to other martial artists of the same rank, was far behind.

  However, this time he was lucky enough to enter the Transmission Cave Heaven, where the yang attribute energy in Fang Tian Nan's dantian condensed into a yang liquid. This made Fang Tian Nan suspect that perhaps the cultivation method of the Ming Jing realm was not suitable for him after all. However, the existence of the yang liquid was different from that of the Hua Jing realm warriors. If he rashly cultivated the Hua Jing realm's method, it would be a bit too risky.

  Now, the stone statue above indicates that the cultivation method can be crossed by cultivators to cultivate, and for Fang Tian Nan, it is undoubtedly very timely.

  For a moment, Fang Tiannan was overjoyed.

  He carefully remembered the green silk thread on the stone and the green light spot, then put away this human-shaped small stone, Fang Tian Nan had a somewhat triumphant feeling.

  Crossing the empty space of ten meters, continue walking on the small path, and there are no other dangers along the way. When the end of the small path appears, a cave appears, and Fang Tian Nan also steps in with confidence.

  The cave is not dark. The entire space of the cave can accommodate two or three people walking side by side, and it's about three meters high. On both sides of the cave wall, at intervals of about five meters, a glowing stone is embedded. The glowing stones on both sides are not aligned, but roughly in the middle position. As a result, the passage inside the cave appears quite bright.

  Fang Tian Nan wasn't clear about the specific name of this stone, but he knew that places like the inner sect of Qing Yun Sect and other important locations would use a glowing crystal to illuminate when they were being built.

  This type of crystal is not very useful in cultivation, it just glows. So, its value isn't that great. Even ordinary families with some savings can afford to buy this kind of crystal. The only difference is in size and intensity of the glow.

  So Fang Tian Nan did not have the idea of digging out these glowing crystals embedded in the wall immediately.

  It was in the passage inside the cave, after advancing about 100 meters or so, that a fork appeared, causing Fang Tian Nan to hesitate. At the fork, there were no signs or any messages left behind.

  Is it just relying on luck?

  Although in Fang Tian Nan's heart, he still acknowledged that passing the test was a matter of luck, but when such a test was placed in front of him, Fang Tian Nan still felt a bit hesitant.

  Fang Tian Nan wanted to try and probe the two strange energies in the metal plate in his dantian, but he didn't receive any response. It seemed that these two energies only came to him on their own initiative, while Fang Tian Nan had no way of controlling them. This made Fang Tian Nan feel a little helpless.

  But thinking of this time's entry into the legacy cave, the gains obtained were quite rich, and Fang Tian Nan's emotions quickly subsided.

  He casually chose a fork in the road and continued on. Generally speaking, it was similar to the mountain passageway he had walked through before, but after walking another 40 or 50 meters, he came across another fork in the road. Fang Tian Nan could only continue to choose, continuing to move forward. During this time, some of the mountain passageways he passed through were obviously climbing upwards, while others were flat and even. Gradually, Fang Tian Nan figured out a possibility - only those "upward" passageways were the correct choice.

  After all, regardless of the final outcome, Fang Tiannan's goal was to reach the palace at the top of the mountain.

  In this way, Fang Tian Nan paid attention to a few points in the next selection. As long as he was at a fork in the road, he would arbitrarily choose one of them and walk forward for a while. If it was uphill, he would continue to move forward. If it was flat or downhill, he would turn back and exit, choosing another entrance.

  After a while, Fang Tian Nan passed through a mountain tunnel and arrived at another fork in the road. He found that one of the paths had been deliberately repaired, with smooth walls on both sides, and even the ground was paved with flat and smooth stone slabs.

  I guess I'm finally on the right track now?

  Thus thinking, Fang Tian Nan firmly stepped forward.

  。。。。。。

  Inside the passage, the luminous crystals inlaid on the walls still exist as before. Only, whether it's density or brightness, there has been an increase. In addition, a small amount of dust has fallen onto the flat stone road. It seems that this passage has existed for a very long time and is rarely traversed by people.

  This dust was also brought here by air circulation from the mountain cave tunnel before.

  After advancing nearly a hundred meters, the front end of the passage suddenly opened up, revealing a large hall. The hall was empty, but there were several stone chairs placed inside, giving off an extremely ancient and heavy feeling. On the four walls of the hall, there were also several candelabra-like settings, with only the base remaining, leaving nothing above.

  On the side of the chair facing it is a platform about one meter high, small and empty.

  The passageway where Fang Tian Nan was standing, was between the chairs and the platform that had been placed there, leaving a path just wide enough for one person to walk through. At the other end of this path, there was another passageway with steps leading up, but it was unclear where they led.

  Fang Tian Nan guessed that this hall, from the current observed decoration, seemed to be a place for lectures. The platform was for the lecturer to sit on, while the chairs below were for the audience to sit on.

  Because there was nothing else in the entire hall, it was obvious that Fang Tian Nan could only continue to move forward and walk up the stairs.

  The stairs slanted upwards, giving Fang Tian Nan a feeling as if he was still walking in the passageway.

  Then, he went through several spaces similar to the hall just seen, but with different uses. Some were for meditation and others for rest. Finally, Fang Tian Nan arrived at a place larger than all the previous spaces combined.

  The entrances to the channels in the space are no longer just two. Almost all directions have them. Fang Tiannan counted and found that there were more than ten of them. This made Fang Tiannan sigh, wondering which path he should choose next.

  Just then, a sudden noise came from the front.
