Unfortunately, what Chu Zheng obtained was only a fragmented map. If only he had that incomplete martial barrier in his hands, perhaps he could have partially restored the path of martial cultivation.

The augmentation from the Xuan Tian Seal was exceptionally noticeable. After briefly sensing it, Chu Zheng\'s expression turned somewhat grave.

Back at the Song Family, if he had this Xuan Tian Seal, he wouldn\'t have needed a second move to kill Jiang Cunhu.

The key point is that this kind of divine skill isn\'t unique to him; similar secret techniques must surely exist in this world.

The Qi Observation Technique can only discern the strength of one\'s Yuan Qi. It has no way to detect secret techniques and divine skills that can explosively unleash astonishing combat power in a short time.

If Jiang Cunhu had held such a secret technique at that time, the one who died would not have been him. In future battles, he would need to be much more cautious.

While Chu Zheng was pondering the Xuan Tian Seal, a streak of flowing light suddenly shot across the sky.

Moments later, Song Lingqing stepped into the Spirit Beast Garden, this time not accompanied by Tong Jinshan but by an Outer Sect executive.

This executive Chu Zheng recognized, as he was precisely in charge of his area, his name was Yu Bin, at the Mid Spirit Spring Realm, and was rarely seen on normal days.

"Sister Song\'s Cloud Wing Tiger isn\'t working out for her, she wants to exchange it for another spirit beast. You lead the way."

The Outer Sect executive waved at Chu Zheng and then turned his head with a smile at Song Lingqing:

"Sister Song, please."

"There\'s no need. He can take me. Executive Yu, you\'re busy with many affairs, no need to accompany me any further," Song Lingqing declined with a shake of her head.

"Well... that\'s fine then. Should you have any requests, Sister Song, feel free to command at any time."

Yu Bin nodded slightly, looking at Chu Zheng, "Pick carefully and ensure Sister Song is satisfied."

"Understood."

Chu Zheng acknowledged and began leading Song Lingqing deeper into the garden.

After walking for a while, Chu Zheng sent a voice transmission to ask, "What happened yesterday?"

The attitude in the Spirit Beast Garden had changed, and this must have been due to some incident that occurred with Song Lingqing yesterday.

"I encountered a few Inner Sect Disciples looking for trouble, and they were punished by the Supreme Elder."

Song Lingqing did not conceal the details, speaking in an even tone, "They were instigated by someone behind, coveting my position as a true disciple and also testing the Sect\'s reaction."

"In the Phantom Spirit Sect, there are only so many places for true discipleship, granted to the most capable. Their approach wasn\'t wrong, they were just too hasty."

"The attitude of the Supreme Elder is questionable, showing favoritism a bit too much. The punishment was overly high-profile, as if he owed me something, or perhaps there\'s a hidden agenda."

Chu Zheng\'s mind stirred slightly, noting that Song Lingqing\'s line of thought was sharper than he had anticipated.

"The books you asked for, I have brought them. Where should I place them?"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng\'s eyes brightened slightly, and his step quickened: "Follow me."

The two made their way to a simple straw hut, which Chu Zheng had constructed himself.

In the Spirit Beast Garden, it was warm like spring all year round, without distinction between cold and heat, and without rain or clouds, so there was no need for a roof to find shelter.

For spirit beasts with special environmental needs, they are housed in the deepest parts of the garden, with formations creating specific environments such as cold pools, volcanoes, deserts, etc., for them to dwell.

The low-grade spirit beasts naturally do not receive this treatment. Such special spirit beasts are mostly powerful, capable of speaking human language, though there are no such great demons capable of transforming into human form.

"Original scriptures cannot be taken out of the Scripture Pavilion; these are basically handwritten copies."

Having entered the hut, Song Lingqing took about a dozen books from her storage ring and then pulled out a jade talisman:

"This should be enough for you to read for a while. I can\'t come here often as it would attract too much attention. If you need anything in the future, contact me through this jade token."

Chu Zheng took the jade token and casually flipped through the dozen or so books. Several of them had fresh ink, evidently having been copied not long ago, which somewhat moved him:

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I didn\'t copy these."

Seeing Chu Zheng looking at the books, Song Lingqing guessed what he was thinking and casually said:

"The Scripture Pavilion has disciples specifically assigned to copy them, I asked them to do it."

Chu Zheng immediately bowed his head and started flipping through the books.

Phantom Spirit Sect Chronicles, Theory of the Universe Beyond the Heavens, Heavenly Star Body Refining Technique, Ancient Epoch War Chronicles, True Elixir Dao Comprehension, Seventy-Nine Formation Summary…

The books Song Lingqing brought this time were clearly of a much higher level, including some Immortal Path secret techniques.

After skimming through them, Chu Zheng looked up, puzzled—something was missing from the books.

"The cultivation technique you wanted is here."

Song Lingqing took out a jade token and pressed it against Chu Zheng\'s forehead.

"This is the Phantom Spirit Technique, the Sect-Defending Secret Scripture of the Phantom Spirit Sect. I only have the first three layers."

Before her words had finished, a vast amount of information poured into Chu Zheng\'s mind—a detailed diagram of the human meridians clearly appeared in his thoughts.

Channel Qi into the body, Nourishing Power, transform into Spiritual Spring, build Dao Foundation, condense the Soul, cultivate the Divine Infant, Deification Nine Transformations, enter Tongxuan.

[Phantom Spirit Technique (Sixth Order/Incomplete): Sect-Defending Secret Scripture of the Phantom Spirit Sect, cultivable up to the Tongxuan Realm, can be restored (0/10000)]

This was Chu Zheng\'s first encounter with a systematic method of cultivation, which provided him with a clearer understanding of the realms in the Immortal Path.

To his surprise, the Phantom Spirit Technique was a cultivation technique on par with the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline, its pinnacle being the Seven Realms of Immortal Path. Tongxuan was also the ultimate peak of the human path.

After turning around, Chu Zheng\'s brows furrowed slightly: "By passing this technique to me, will it cause you any harm?"

"Can you even cultivate it?" Song Lingqing did not seem concerned.

Chu Zheng fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "It\'s uncertain…"

The reason he had asked for a cultivation method of the Immortal Path was because of the thoughts that arose after hearing Song Lingqing\'s current state yesterday.

Song Lingqing\'s Immortal Bones were shattered, but because she possessed mana in her body, she could continue cultivating, albeit at a slower pace.

Channeling Qi into the body is the first barrier of the Immortal Sect; absorbing nature\'s spiritual energy into the body was effortless for Chu Zheng, and he could try starting directly from the second layer of the Phantom Spirit Technique.

The cultivation route map was already in his mind. For now, it seemed to be without much difficulty.

Hearing Chu Zheng\'s response, Song Lingqing suddenly raised her hand and reached toward the back of Chu Zheng\'s head.

The back of the head is a vital point and exceedingly sensitive. Chu Zheng suddenly became aware and suppressed the impulse to strike that surged through his body in an instant, putting down the hand that had subconsciously raised.

A blow from him could not be withstood by Song Lingqing, who was still seriously injured.

Several slender and delicate fingers deeply inserted themselves into the roots of Chu Zheng\'s hair, carefully probing for a moment before retracting.

Song Lingqing\'s expression remained calm as she stated, "You do not possess Immortal Bones."

Chu Zheng did not argue, but chuckled softly, "You said it yourself yesterday, it\'s just a bone, just a stepping stone."

At his words, Song Lingqing was taken aback, her gaze lowering slightly: "That\'s true."

Whether the Immortal Path was compatible with the Method of Qi Refining or even with the Martial Path was unclear to Chu Zheng, but he wasn\'t opposed to trying it out.

The path he trodded might be one unknown to this world, without a guide to lead the way, trial and error were inevitable.
