Chapter 342: Chapter 300: Cuiwei Heart Technique

Jiang Xu was in darkness, but his mind was as clear as a polished mirror.

He immersed himself in this boundless silence, letting his consciousness merge with the intangible fluctuations of the cultivation techniques.

At this moment, images of cultivation began to surface from the depths of his consciousness—visions of the future he would share with each of those techniques.

In some images, Jiang Xu wore a vibrant green cloak that flowed with the lush vitality of the Wood Attribute. The endless forests granted him limitless power.

He commanded thousands of vines, which, like living arms, stretched and coiled at his will, instantly transforming into sharp weapons to engage his enemies in a fierce duel.

In other images, a colossal ancient tree stood tall and majestic, its crown like a cloud, blanketing the world below.

Jiang Xu sat in meditation beneath the colossal ancient tree, listening to the whispers of nature and comprehending the origin, growth, decay, and reincarnation of life.

In yet another image, Jiang Xu held a long, emerald-green sword. Its blade glinted with a grim, cold light, yet it contained the vibrant life force of the Wood Attribute.

He swung his sword to sever the world’s troubles, its Sword Qi like a rainbow, splitting clouds and cracking stone. He displayed an indomitable edge, roaming the martial world, his sword pointed at the heavens, in pursuit of the supreme Dao.

As these images appeared one after another, Jiang Xu came to an ever-clearer understanding: every cultivation technique had its unique strengths and charm, each representing a different path in life and a different philosophy of cultivation.

But the only true choice was the one that resonated strongly with his heart, the one that could walk alongside him on his path of cultivation and grow with him.

In the end, his consciousness locked onto one particular fluctuation.

The fluctuation was like a gentle morning breeze in a forest, lightly brushing past his heart and awakening his slumbering soul.

It was not ostentatious, yet it was like fine threads, silently seeping into every one of his cells and connecting to the very fibers of his spiritual veins.

It was like a long-lost friend, bringing a familiar warmth and an intimate air that made Jiang Xu’s spirit instantly feel at home.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze fell upon that cultivation technique, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

By now, all the cultivation techniques had stilled, waiting quietly.

Jiang Xu reached out and touched the cultivation technique that was emitting the unique fluctuation.

The moment his fingertip brushed the cover, a subtle ripple of energy traveled up his finger and into his body.

The cultivation technique’s concealed name and its Spiritual Light were now fully revealed.

It was a seemingly plain and simple booklet. On its cover, etched in ancient seal script, were the characters for "Cuiwei Heart Spell."

These characters were like vibrant green sprouts, exuding freshness and vitality. They were also like the chimes of a bell in a remote mountain temple, distant and serene.

He could feel that the Wood Attribute power contained within this cultivation technique was resonating with the Magical Power flowing inside him, as if they had always been one and were only now truly finding each other.

Jiang Xu carefully opened the cover. The inner pages were dark green, and the script was neat yet graceful.

It was like an ancient tree with dense branches and lush leaves, or like a gurgling stream. Every stroke contained the rhythm and vitality of the Wood Attribute.

It lacked the conspicuous combat prowess of the other cultivation techniques, nor did it have any complex and magnificent Divine Phenomena.

But it was subtle and profound, like a verdant seed containing endless Life Force and infinite possibilities.

As Jiang Xu focused his heart on perceiving this cultivation technique, he seemed to see a seed silently sprouting in the soil, tenaciously breaking through the earth, bathing in sun and rain, weathering storms, and finally growing into a colossal tree with lush foliage, sheltering all living things.

The Cuiwei Heart Spell advocated a philosophy of cultivation: to coexist in harmony with nature, to nourish oneself with the Power of Life, to comprehend the world through a tranquil heart, to overcome the hard with the soft, and to master the complex with the simple.

It emphasized that a Cultivator should not only absorb Wood Attribute Primordial Qi to advance their Cultivation, but also learn to listen to the murmurs of all things, feel the pulse of the earth, and understand the cycle of life.

This would lead to a high degree of integration between one’s body, mind, and nature, allowing one to become a part of the natural world rather than a conqueror who lorded over it.

In the scenes playing out in Jiang Xu’s mind, the future of his Cultivation with the Cuiwei Heart Spell gradually became clear.

Jiang Xu was no longer the warrior commanding thousands of vines, nor the solitary seeker meditating under an ancient tree, nor the lone, valiant swordsman cutting down troubles with his blade.

He transformed into a great, verdant tree, his roots planted deep in the earth, his branches reaching up to converse with the sky.

Then, the colossal tree transformed into an entire forest. The rhythm of life flowed through every inch of his skin, and every pore breathed in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

His state of mind was as tranquil as a lake; no matter how the world outside might change, he could maintain his inner peace and clarity.

Jiang Xu was deeply captivated by the philosophy of the Cuiwei Heart Spell.

He felt his heart resonate deeply with this cultivation technique. It was an inexpressible understanding, a communication without words, an affirmation from the depths of his soul.

’Perhaps it’s a perfect match for my state of mind.’

Jiang Xu had only just briefly flipped through the Cuiwei Heart Technique when he absorbed it into his panel.

[Cuiwei Heart Technique (Fake) (Beginner): 0/100]

...

’Just as I thought.’

Any lingering hope in Jiang Xu’s heart vanished.

’I really thought this cultivation technique was a perfect match for me.’

’I was hoping that maybe Wenqu Pavilion had made a mistake and labeled a real one as fake.’

But after seeing the panel, he knew he would have to modify it himself.

’It’s just that the degree of errors and omissions in the techniques varies.’

’I wonder how many Limit-Breaking Points this cultivation technique will cost me?’
