“What is science and technology?” The old lady stared blankly at Qin Chuan.
“Err… how should I put it?” Qin Chuan awkwardly wiped his sweat.
He did not know what to say.
Suddenly, he thought of an idea.
Qin Chuan took out his phone from the system space.
The old woman had never seen a mobile phone before and was very curious about this rectangular-shaped object.
Qin Chuan scrolled on his phone screen.
Although there was no Wi-Fi here, he had downloaded some movies and some buffered videos previously. These could all be played.
“This is it.” Qin Chuan searched for a while and found a video.
This was a documentary about the development of human society. It was over two hours long.
From the Stone Age to the modern era of high-tech civilization, the summary was rather comprehensive.
He put the phone in front of the old woman.
When the image and voice appeared on the screen, the old lady’s expression changed. She looked surprised.
“What kind of magical artifact is this? It doesn’t have any spiritual energy, but it can produce an image. Moreover, the images are so lifelike, many times clearer than the Imaging Stone.” The old woman said with shock.
“This is called a mobile phone. It is a product of the era of science and technology.”
“Mobile phone?” The old lady stared at the image playing on the screen.
Two hours later, the video ended.
At this moment, the old lady’s expression became somewhat grave.
After watching the video, she now had a better understanding of the world.
“As expected, cultivation has ultimately declined in the end.”
The old lady sighed and said emotionally.
Qin Chuan added, “Cultivation didn’t just decline. It disappeared.
“Even if it exists, based on the current condition of spiritual energy in the world, it’s not suitable for cultivation.”
“Then what’s with you?” The old lady stared at Qin Chuan. “You look young, but your cultivation is at the Golden Core Realm. And you were able to break through this barrier. Your true strength should be at the Nascent Soul realm.
“In my era, you would be considered a genius.
“Are you from another world? ”
Qin Chuan laughed dryly. His soul had indeed transmigrated from another world, but not his body.
But he certainly couldn’t say that.
Therefore, he replied, “Senior, I am a native. I only came into contact with immortal cultivation because of some fortuitous encounters.”
“Even if there are fortuitous encounters, cultivation still depends on the individual.
“For you to be able to reach such a level, it’s not hard to tell that you are very talented,” the old woman affirmed.
Qin Chuan cupped his hands. “You are too kind.”
“Alright! Stop with the pleasantries. I don’t have much time left.”
The old woman changed the topic, and the airflow in the entire hall became unstable.
The old lady raised her hand, and Qin Chuan’s body uncontrollably floated in the air.
Qin Chuan was shocked. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique but discovered that all the meridians in his body were being controlled.
“Senior, what are you trying to do?” Qin Chuan asked.
He had thought that the other party was only a soul and did not have that much power.
However, the actual situation was different.
He was like a puppet controlled by the old lady.
For a time, Qin Chuan started to panic and regret.
The old lady didn’t answer him. Instead, she moved Qin Chuan above her head.
Their heads were together.
In the next second, the old lady’s entire body lit up with a faint white light that filled the entire hall.
A large number of memories flooded Qin Chuan’s mind.
At this moment, Qin Chuan understood the old lady’s intentions.
She was passing down her legacy to him.
From those memories, he learned that this cultivation sect was called the Heavenly Note Sect, and it mainly cultivated sound techniques, which was also the Dao of Music.
The so-called sound technique used sound to kill or control the other party.
The old lady had taught Qin Chuan the strongest techniques and divine arts of the Heavenly Note Sect.
The cultivation technique was known as the True Formula of Heavenly Note.
The name of the divine art was Hum.
Qin Chuan asked the system. The Heavenly Note Sect’s True Formula of Heavenly Note was a Tier 5 cultivation technique, but its overall ability was slightly weaker than the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique.
The True Formula of Heavenly Note had a total of ten classes. After receiving the legacy of the old lady, Qin Chuan did not need to cultivate it and directly reached the sixth class.
After passing down the True Formula of Heavenly Note, the next was the sect’s most powerful divine art, Hum.
Cultivating this divine art required one to cultivate the True Formula of Heavenly Note. One had to reach the fifth class or above.
If he tried to use it forcefully, he would suffer a backlash from the divine art and explode.
After receiving the divine art, the old lady transferred her remaining strength to Qin Chuan.
At her peak, the old lady was at the peak of Mahayana. She was only two steps away from Immortal Ascension.
However, she was now in a primordial spirit state, so her cultivation was naturally not as strong as before. Furthermore, after such a long time, her cultivation would decrease as time passed.
She had fallen by a realm.
But even so, she thought it would be a problem to raise a Golden Core to a Soul Splitting.
But… After transferring the power to Qin Chuan, she discovered that Qin Chuan did not reach Soul Splitting. He had barely reached the seventh class of Nascent Soul.
The old lady was also an experienced person. She understood that it was because of Qin Chuan’s cultivation technique.
He was able to break through the barrier with just Golden Core cultivation. Just based on this point, one could tell that the cultivation technique that Qin Chuan cultivated was not simple.
The old lady didn’t ask any more questions. After she was done, she placed him down.
Without the old lady’s control, Qin Chuan regained his mobility.
At this moment, the old woman’s primordial spirit’s brilliance had completely scattered. Her entire body became transparent as if it was about to disappear.
As he faced the old lady, Qin Chuan felt extremely grateful in his heart. At the same time, he also had many questions.
At this time, the old woman said, “Youngster, I know you have many questions. While my primordial spirit has yet to scatter, feel free to ask anything you want to know!”
The old lady was in a very weak state. She was like those elderly people were about to pass away. It was very difficult for her to speak.
Qin Chuan knew that if one’s primordial spirit were to disperse, one would not be qualified to be reincarnated and would truly die.
Thus, he asked the old woman why she wanted to pass on all her cultivation to him.
The old woman’s eyes were unfocused as she said with difficulty, “The reason why I imparted my cultivation to you is naturally to prevent the Heavenly Note Sect’s legacy from being destroyed.
“I hope you can pass down my sect’s legacy. It’s best if you can bring it to greater heights. ”
After a pause, the old woman continued. “I think you know that there are many in this world with similar situations to my Heavenly Note Sect.
“Those sects similarly do not wish for their sects to have no successor.
“If you can find them, it will undoubtedly be a huge opportunity. Immortal Ascension will not be a problem.”
Then, Qin Chuan hurriedly asked, “Senior, what exactly happened in the past? What exactly is going on with the Desolate Beasts outside?”
This was Qin Chuan’s biggest question.
The old lady coughed and said, “You even know about Desolate Beasts. It seems your previous encounters haven’t been ordinary.”
Qin Chuan laughed awkwardly.
The old lady said, “It’s a long story!”
She recalled, “I remember that one day, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky.
“It was an ancient divine beast that was tens of thousands of feet long—Kun.
“A black-haired young man sat on its back. He was very young, about your age.
“The youth said that he came from another world. He passed by this place and saw that the scenery was good, so he came to sight-see.
“At that time, we didn’t reject him. After all, the Kun he was riding wasn’t to be trifled with.
“The youth stayed for four to five years.
“During his tour, he visited some sects, including mine.
“The young man told us about a completely new cultivation school of thought, which was the Beast Taming School.
“He said that we only treated spirit beasts as mounts as transportation tools. We don’t use them very well.
“So he shared about the Beast Taming School with us.
“When we heard it, we thought it was quite good. The young man also shared some beast controlling techniques without holding back.
“Naturally, we didn’t refuse. We passed it on to the sect’s inner disciples. We even specially set up the Beast Taming Hall, which also has Beast Taming disciples.
“Soon, the Beast Taming School became popular.
“Not long after, the young man left.
“Later, we discovered the hidden dangers of the Beast Taming School.
“If we nurtured our Immortal Beasts to be more powerful, they could even surpass,
“If they went out of control, it will mean disaster for us.
“Therefore, we stopped cultivating the Beast Taming School and allowed the Immortal Beasts to return to being mounts.
“Later on, that youth returned.
“He looked furious, questioning why we’d stopped the Beast Taming School. We ignored him then, too.
“After all, it was our sect. We would teach whatever we want. There was no need for outsiders to tell us what to do.
“The youth was instantly enraged.
“He controlled the ancient Immortal Beasts under his command to attack us. In an instant, many people were severely injured. A few died on the spot.
“This shocked the entire cultivation world. The seniors who had failed the Tribulation Transcendence and became Human Immortals joined forces to fight the young man and kill the ancient Immortal Beasts. However, the young man escaped with serious injuries.
“We thought that this matter was over.
“After about three hundred years, the sky suddenly darkened.
“Desolate Beasts occupied the sky. They were densely packed and filled the sky.
“A black-haired youth stood proudly among the beasts.
“We knew that the young man had come for revenge.
“The black-haired youth waved his hand, and all the Desolate Beasts charged down.
“The Desolate Beasts themselves did not have much strength, but the most terrifying thing about them was the desolate aura.
“The Desolate Aura polluted the land and made all living things dysfunctional.
“Without spiritual energy, us cultivators were no different from mortals.
“There were too many Desolate Beasts. The more we killed, the more would appear. We could never finish them.
“After hundreds of years of stalemate, the spiritual energy gradually disappeared. The entire world was like a living hell, with people dying every day.
“Finally, those Human Immortals gave up their lives and created many spatial barriers to trap all the Desolate Beasts.
“However, the world was polluted by the desolate aura, and the pollution was still spreading. All the meridians would be eroded if this continued.
“For this, the remaining sects made a decision.
“We collected all the spiritual meridians in the world and distributed them to various sects.
“The various sects exhausted the power of the entire sect to open up the lands of legacy, which is also the space you are currently in.
“The purpose of opening up the lands of legacy is naturally to pass down the orthodoxies of each sect.
“However, in order to make them, practically all of the disciples were sacrificed.
“In order to preserve my primordial spirit longer, I sealed myself in the jade gourd.
“Now that you are here, my mission is complete.”
With that, the old woman walked out of the main hall with heavy steps and kowtowed to the sky.
“All the late disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect, your efforts have not been in vain.
“I have not let you down. The Heavenly Note Sect will not end. It will continue to exist. ”
The old woman was laughing and crying as the power of her primordial spirit quickly dissipated.
Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan had mixed feelings.
In the end, the old woman’s primordial spirit disappeared.
Qin Chuan really wanted to help, but with his current strength, there was no way he could stop the dissipation of a primordial spirit.
“Senior, please go in peace!
“I will definitely bring the Heavenly Note Sect to greater heights and restore the prosperity of the immortal cultivation era so that everyone can cultivate and pursue immortality.”
Qin Chuan faced the sky and spoke with incomparable determination.
