Perhaps in that era, some people found one of the ways to continue.

Concentrating and refining the spirit, believing that flesh is weak, and the spirit will be eternal, is likely also a branch of that era.

But this history is really too distant, even older than any human records.

It can no longer be examined or traced.

Lu Ren wasn't overly curious or concerned about these matters, but the Red Jade Scroll left behind a Taoist Scripture.

Its name is "Supreme Guardian Spirit Heart Sutra".

It bears a similar name to the "Supreme Inspiration Residence" he obtained from Chen Guanzhen in the Underworld, but the content is vastly different.

This Supreme Guardian Spirit Heart Sutra discusses the spiritual aspect of cultivation.

What astonished Lu Ren more was that it provided a general explanation on how to explore the Inner Realm and determine the path, which is part of the Nine Steps of Bright Awakening.

Strictly speaking, this is a method of seeking the Tao, just like what Shi Changqing and Chang Xin mentioned, to find areas within the Extraordinary Realm, whether in the All Heavens and Great Realms or some regions in this cosmos.

But in fact, these extraordinary paths still do not agree; all great powers are attributed to oneself. Only when one becomes supreme in strength can magical techniques be performed even if the spiritual mechanism dissipates.

If one can comprehend the cosmic physical rules, attributes of molecules, and energy properties, it is possible to unleash astonishing power, which is truly a high-dimensional strength.

Just like the Red Dragon Inner Core in Lu Ren's Dantian, if not for the system, the energy level of even a wisp of the Red Dragon Inner Core continued to fall to a level he could now use, becoming an extremely vast energy source for him to convert into Bright Sun True Qi.

Although it's not the path of a Master, this Supreme Guardian Spirit Heart Sutra indeed provides valuable insights and greatly supplements his current path.

It enlightened him on the most crucial step of Path Determination.

According to Zhang Tongxuan's previous remarks, he would need to break limits at least twice more, reaching the Ninth Step of Bright Awakening before qualifying for Path Determination.

Lu Ren is in no rush, although the existence of Skill Points could raise the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Phoenix Bodhisattva Path another tier, but that's his trump card for unexpected effects.

Once he confirmed that there was nothing left in the Scripture Pavilion, Lu Ren didn't linger and quickly left the place.

Casually finding a temporarily safe room, Lu Ren took out the remaining few Jade Scrolls and probed them one by one with his spirit.

A Swordsmanship, two True Techniques, and a Chronicles of Strange Creatures.

The Swordsmanship is called Long Sky Swordsmanship, one Thunder Flame True Technique, and one Taiyin Refining Form True Technique, which greatly benefits Lu Ren's current path, even the Thunder Flame True Technique's Supreme Yang and Firm nature is several degrees more profound than his current Bright Sun True Technique. The extraordinary attribute of Thunderous Flame it invokes is even more precious.

As for the Taiyin Refining Form True Technique, it surprised Lu Ren considerably; it's a demon cultivation method that involves inhaling and exhaling the moon essence to reshape the human form.

Just like the Tiger Demon Jade Bamboo he encountered in the Kunlun Exotic Realm.

However, to be honest, in this modern environment, achieving these True Techniques is as difficult as ascending to heaven, as mentioned before—after breaking the limits of the body and mind, perfectly controlling one's physique, and beginning to incorporate the Monster's Inner Core into a Dantian organ, otherwise, like the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master Zhang Tongxuan, forcibly breaking the limits of spirit and body three times, reaching the Ninth Step of Bright Awakening, nearly achieving Path Determination, he forcibly developed Innate Qi within himself.

Although this Innate Qi is extremely pure, compared to Lu Ren's current Bright Sun True Qi, it falls several levels short.

After sorting out these True Techniques, nearly an hour had passed.

Glancing at the spacesuit visor showing forty-seven percent oxygen remaining, Lu Ren resolved any hesitation, swiftly exited the room, and proceeded along the route illuminated by discarded fluorescent sticks on the ground, toward the main hall of the palace.

At this moment, Thunder Jack already stood, grasping a long knife in hand, waiting before the hall gate.

Seeing this, Lu Ren instinctively touched the longsword at his waist.

Along the way, this sword had nearly become a mere decoration.

"Did you kill Nosnov?"

Thunder Jack's expression was solemn, showing no sign of ease, as the commotion in the library was not insignificant.

Just the act of Lu Ren throwing a punch had stirred up fierce gales, the sound of which boomed like thunder.

Unless someone was deaf, they would have heard the commotion from three miles away.

Lu Ren calmly said, "If he wanted to snatch something from me, he should've been prepared to die."

It's not that Jack felt a sense of pity, considering Lu Ren wasn't the Great Demon King; it was just that the way Lu Ren killed Nosnov seemed too fantastical to him.

At their level of power, their life energy was extremely resilient, truly killing someone was exceedingly difficult.

"With Nosnov's strength, it shouldn't be so easy for him to die."

"His downfall was his arrogance." At this, Lu Ren's face showed a trace of peculiar expression.

Nosnov excelled in close combat and grappling, considered a master in that domain, with wrestling skills that could be considered divine skill.

He once demonstrated playing effortlessly with a near-thousand-pound iron ball, ultimately even shattering it with brute force.

Yet, under Lu Ren's hand, he didn't last even three minutes.

This astonishing record of elimination left Jack feeling quite shocked and incredulous.

If Nosnov hadn't chosen to grapple with him, perhaps killing Nosnov wouldn't have been a simple task.

At least ten minutes would be needed for such a hunt.

Jack observed Lu Ren with a solemn expression, locking his gaze, watching as Lu Ren, showing no sign of being moved, approached him unhurriedly and stood before the main hall gate.

Lu Ren glanced sideways at Jack on the side.

"Are you trying to stop me?"

Jack chuckled lightly but eventually stepped back slowly.

He fixed his gaze on Lu Ren's back, tightening his grasp on the long knife yet ultimately refraining from striking.

Various thoughts surged and then settled in his heart.

Just as he finally suppressed the urge to duel Lu Ren, he saw Lu Ren suddenly turn around, extend four arms, his body rapidly expanding, forming the Sixth Present Ground Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect.

A bronze-like large hand suddenly pressed down, instantly compressing the air in the region, exploding with the roar of thunder.

The hand descended straight over Jack's head, its speed and power seemed capable of shattering a mountain.

The super chip implanted in his brain conferred unnaturally fast reflexes, allowing Jack to react immediately.

His internal power furnace instantaneously intensified, flashes of lightning appeared around him, and his form transformed into an electric light, narrowly avoiding Lu Ren's sudden attack in a thrilling escape.
