The jade scroll presented by Fan Qingqing primarily recorded the understanding of the Myriad Immortals Come to Court Scroll by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect.

First, the opening lines were transcribed by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect in the characters of the Yang Kingdom.

The current characters of the Qi Kingdom were derived from and absorbed the characters of the Yang Kingdom, so Jiang Wang found it easy to read.

These Yang Kingdom characters themselves aligned with the history of the Yang Kingdom’s demise, when two thousand three went to sea in a single day and the sects on the seas were established. This corroborated that it was indeed the work of the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect.

After careful comparison, Jiang Wang found that the Five Immortal Sect ancestors’ understanding of this passage was largely the same as his own, with only two differences.

The first was in the opening sentence, “All things have spirits, and man is the foremost of all spirits.”

The ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect wrote, “Man is the source of all spirits.”

One spoke of the “foremost,” the other of the “source.”

The former implied prominence among all beings, leaning towards “the best.”

The latter carried the flavor of the fundamental origin of all things, leaning towards “the very beginning.”

It was difficult to say which was correct. Jiang Wang was confident in his own judgment but also felt that the judgment of the Five Immortal Sect ancestors was quite reasonable.

The second difference was in the line, “Throughout the body, meridians and muscles, all face the main sect.”

The ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect wrote, “All face our sect.”

One used “main,” the other used “our.”

These two characters were quite similar, but there were subtle differences.

The former emphasized the “core,” while the latter emphasized the “self.”

As the saying goes, “Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.” From the understanding of the Five Immortal Sect ancestors, Jiang Wang indeed gained some new insights. Inspiration collided, revealing more brilliance, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Myriad Immortals Come to Court Scroll.

Reading the insights of the successive Sect Masters and elders of the Five Immortal Sect was essentially a verification of cultivation.

The most valuable part of this jade scroll, however, was the discussion about the four most spiritual immortal phantoms on the Myriad Immortals Come to Court Scroll.

The spiritual essence of these four immortal phantoms must have been more complete in earlier times. This is because the jade scroll contained a great deal of reflection on these four immortal phantoms. Compared to the other immortal phantoms that no one paid attention to, these clearly offered more room for contemplation.

Among them, the most prominent was the immortal phantom representing the ear’s position.

Because there were more records, more inspiration, and more detailed discussions, the most original cultivation method was even organized!

It was named — 《The Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》.

Jiang Wang read it carefully and found that this canon was indeed thought-provoking and profoundly mysterious, possessing the aura of a secret canon from an immortal palace. It should have been directly perceived by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect from the immortal phantoms, with only minor omissions due to their personal knowledge and cultivation. In essence, it was still a legacy. It was a high-quality cultivation treasure trove.

However, there was an unresolved issue, and the greatest one at that – the medium of technique!

The core difference between the immortal technique system and other dao techniques lay in the medium of technique.

This 《Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》 was indeed brilliant, but it made no mention of what the medium of technique for cultivating this canon was, or how to explore and search for it. Perhaps in the near-ancient era, this was not an issue, but in the present age, the medium of technique itself is the greatest hurdle before immortal techniques.

If Jiang Wang had not obtained the Green Cloud Pavilion and had not had a constant supply of benevolent merit and green clouds, even if he had thoroughly studied the “Steady Rise to High Places,” he would not have been able to use it freely.

From the records on the jade scroll, the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect also discovered that this 《Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》 was missing something crucial. They didn’t know what it was, and to ensure secrecy, they dared not investigate the relevant history of the Immortal Palace with great fanfare.

But they were also a genius. Although they didn’t know that 《The Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》 was missing a medium of technique, and didn’t know what the medium of technique was, they researched a method to replace the medium of technique!

This was the origin of the Five Immortal Sect’s dao techniques.

The latter part of the jade scroll recorded the general outline of the Five Immortal Sect’s dao techniques, titled 《Five Immortals Like a Dream》.

It was created by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect and refined by successive Sect Masters and elders.

This jade scroll recorded the thoughts of the successive Sect Masters and elders of the Five Immortal Sect, and the Five Immortal Sect’s dao technique system was their process of materializing their thoughts into reality.

The “Like a Dream” was the method to replace the medium of technique. They used “Like a Dream” as the medium and 《The Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》 as the foundation to create the “Five Immortals” cultivation method.

Jiang Wang had previously somewhat looked down on it, thinking that the Five Immortal Sect’s dao techniques were just a bit distinctive. At this moment, as he pondered over them, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed of his arrogance.

What was the concept of a “medium of technique”? It’s no exaggeration to say that it is almost equivalent to the foundation of the immortal technique system.

And a small sect like the Five Immortal Sect, which was not well-known, actually researched a method to replace the medium of technique!

Although this replacement had many flaws and was imperfect, it made immortal techniques of the caliber of 《The Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》 relatively ordinary.

But it was already a truly ingenious creation!

Looking at the entire near-sea archipelago, the Five Immortal Sect on the small Xiasha Island was truly insignificant. Not many strong cultivators would pay attention to it.

Those young prodigies, from prestigious clans, major sects, and powerful nations, with Real People as teachers and Divine Abode experts guiding the way… Looking around the world, what was a sect with a peak combat power at the Outer Tower realm?

But even such an insignificant sect contained struggle, wisdom, and blood and tears. It also had its own winding and glorious history.

If it hadn’t suffered such a tragic annihilation, with this 《Five Immortals Like a Dream》, which had been constantly refined and improved over generations, it might have had a chance to rise by joining the Qi Kingdom’s warships in the future.

But speaking of these things now was meaningless.

The Five Immortal Sect had been completely erased, and the magnificent waves unique to each struggling individual came to an abrupt end.

And the history of the Five Immortal Sect was now in Jiang Wang’s hands.

“Remarkable.” After an unknown period, Jiang Wang closed the jade scroll and couldn’t help but sigh, “Truly remarkable.”

This 《Five Immortals Like a Dream》 was definitely not a top-tier method. The other four parts, besides the “Sound” part, severely dragged it down.

As for the “Sound” part itself, it was completely incomparable to 《The Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》.

The replacement method “Like a Dream” was far inferior to the immortal technique medium of the Myriad Immortal Palace, which was only natural. After all, the latter was the cultivation wisdom that had suppressed an era.

But the significance of “Like a Dream” lay in the fact that it opened up another possibility for inheriting immortal techniques.

If one day, “Like a Dream” could fully replace the effect of the medium of technique, it would mean incorporating the entire immortal technique system into the dao technique system – this was almost impossible to achieve, but being able to propose such an imagination and take a small step was in itself a form of greatness.

So Jiang Wang sighed repeatedly, genuinely feeling it was remarkable!

Fan Qingqing respectfully said, “To receive such praise from you, this subordinate is honored.”

“You will protect me while I attempt cultivation,” Jiang Wang directly instructed.

Form, Sound, Taste, Touch – the four parts, in Jiang Wang’s current view, were too crude and not worth learning. However, the “Sound” part could be thoroughly studied.

If a medium of technique could be found, this would be an 《Immortal Canon of Sound Perception》. If not, the subtlety of the “Sound” part was far superior to the other four parts.

Protection was not actually needed at this moment, but it was a gesture of closeness and acceptance.

Fan Qingqing clearly understood.

She lowered her head slightly, “Please rest assured, my liege.”
