Chapter 1567 A Technique That Upends The Understanding Of Cultivation World

The feeling of having one's head filled with direct understanding of a complex technique like the Omnicore Ascendancy was certainly not pleasant.

Lin Mu felt like there were miners hammering his head with chisels and sledgehammers; both from the inside and outside.

"Ugh… I'll never get used to this." Lin Mu pressed his head, trying to get over the pain.

Thankfully, it didn't seem like it would last that long, and was soon subsiding.

"Are you okay?" Xukong's voice drifted over from afar.

The spider couldn't get close to the altar, but could still communicate with Lin Mu.

'What was the memory break? It forcefully blocked out link.' Xukong thought to himself. 'Did he finally get something from the ring?' he guessed.

That was the only time when the link between Xukong and Lin Mu had been broken in the past, thus it was what the spider guessed. Still, this time Xukong could tell that something was different.

Since the two were linked and had a shared mind space, Xukong could tell that the 'weight' of the shared mind space had increased. This increase in weight certainly did not come from his side, which meant that it was definitely due to Lin Mu.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

'But the mind space has never reacted like that before…' Xukong wondered just what had Lin Mu obtained from the ethereal altar.

If the past skills and techniques were to go by anything, Xukong was sure that it was not going to be simple at all.

"I'm okay, Senior." Lin Mu replied. "Just got a nasty headache."

"It was that bad huh… I'm guessing it was worth it though?" Xukong replied.

"Definitely… even if it was a headache that wouldn't go away for a year, I'd be fine with it. It was a fair price for something like this." Lin Mu stated with a hint of excitement.

"That good?" Xukong was now looking forward to hearing about it too.

"Yes." Lin Mu replied. "I'll come over to you, and explain in detail." He said before standing up.

Lin Mu glanced at the altar, that seemed to have calmed down. The transformed from of the altar was at least twice as big as before, and its complexity had increased as well. Lin Mu could see that the runes on it were communicating with the entire area.

'This kind of Fomentation array… just what level is it at? It's certainly not a Spirit or Immortal grade array… then Celestial grade array?' Lin Mu wondered, but something told him that even a Celestial Grade Array might be nothing in front of this.

Feeling like there might be more he could learn from this place, other than just skills intrigued Lin Mu.

"Just the runes on the array alone are enough for me to learn for hundreds of years, forget the array itself. Perhaps I should come here to ponder on these runes… I might not be able to read them, but I should be able to glance through their patterns." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

One thing was for sure though, the path of formations has truly caught him in its grasp.

Now that he had seen, just what was possible with formations and runes, Lin Mu wondered if he could reach that level too.

Thinking about all this, Lin Mu headed to the barrier of the ethereal altar.

There, Xukong was already waiting for him.

"You look fine on the surface at least." Xukong commented seeing Lin Mu's appearance.

"Yes… though I'm certainly tired from it." Lin Mu nodded his head.

"That much is to be expected." Xukong agreed. "Though, what is it that you got from the ethereal altar?" he questioned.

"What I got from the ethereal altar this time is a technique… another auxiliary cultivation technique…" Lin Mu said before starting to explain about Omnicore Ascendancy Technique.

It took Lin Mu about an hour to explain the gist of the technique. Though this was just the surface level explanation of what the technique could do. Lin Mu actually could not explain how it worked or what its methods were.

They were so profound that Lin Mu could only understand them, but not speak about them. It only showed him just how important the infusion of the information was.

'Perhaps without it, I might not have been able to grasp it at all.' Lin Mu thought.

But while he was thinking about this, Xukong was in shock instead.

'There's no doubt about it… this is not a technique that was made by man.' Xukong thought to himself. 'Even the understanding of those old monsters would be upended if they learned about Omnicore Ascendancy…'

Lin Mu didn't know the true depth behind Omnicore Ascendancy. While he could tell that it was a miraculous technique, he didn't know to what level it was miraculous. In fact, it was already enough to upend the common understanding of the cultivation techniques that was propagated throughout the annals of time.

The experts who had lived since ancient times had spread these concepts and principals, having taken them as absolute. But the Omnicore Ascendancy Technique, violated several of those axioms.

What was once taken as common logic by the world of cultivation had been upended by this one technique.

Xukong grasped this very well.

'If it was only a good technique those old monsters would have actually liked to study this. But with how Omnicore Ascendancy Technique is, it cannot even be understood by anyone other than Lin Mu.' Xukong thought to himself. 'Those old monsters would not let something like this exist… they would rather it be erased from the universe, than let someone practice it.' He knew.

"You cannot talk about this technique." Xukong said in a serious tone. "You should not even utter its name. Never mention it to anyone, not even to the air."

Hearing Xukong's tone Lin Mu's expression turned serious too.

"It's that dangerous?" Lin Mu could somewhat grasp Xukong's concern.

After all, he knew just how dangerous something as simple as knowing a name could be.

'Karma can affect it all…' Lin Mu recalled.
