Chapter 622 204: Have him contact me immediately!_4
Actually, it wasn't entirely without results.
Many cultivators had their fair share of encounters in the Dragon Palace. It is said that several Human Clan cultivators, though not becoming sons-in-law of the Dragon Palace, caught the eye of other members of the Sea Clan...
Of course, Wang Mu was largely unaware of these developments. After flying for several days, he arrived in the Tianji Sect's territory.
Wang Mu had long yearned to visit the Tianji Sect.
The Tianji Sect wasn't the strongest sect in the Nine Provinces, but it was definitely one of the most famous.
It was undeniable that the Mechanical Men produced by the Tianji Sect were bestsellers among all the major sects in the Nine Provinces. In particular, their various puppet Mechanical Men could satisfy the diverse cultivation obsessions of different sects.
In the field of Artifact Refining, the Tianji Sect was also second to none.
Currently, Wang Mu stood before the mountain gate of the Tianji Sect.
The Tianji Sect was unlike other sects—instead of the usual Immortal Mountain and Blessed Land, their mountain gate was a massive, mobile Mechanism Mountain, shaped like an Ancient Kun.
It was said that periodically, it would change its form and fly to other locations.
It primarily operated around the Jia Continent.
Viewed from afar, it was a vast, azure-blue mountain adorned with numerous Mechanism patterns on its surface. It would occasionally exhale mists, a sign of the mountain's vitality.
Its name was Heavenly Ancient Kun Mountain.
「Mountain Gate.」
"You've come to our Tianji Sect. Are you truly interested in learning our Mechanism Creation Technique?" Yu Tianshu asked cautiously.
"That's right," Wang Mu nodded. "My cultivation has encountered obstacles, and I need the help of your esteemed sect's techniques... Junior Brother Yu, could you perhaps ask around for me how I might receive instruction from your esteemed sect? Given the friendly relations between my Sword Sect and your esteemed sect, this shouldn't pose a problem, should it?"
Yu Tianshu's mouth twitched slightly.
Simply asking, of course, isn't a problem.
But this young man is extraordinary, backed by an Ascension Realm Taoist couple; it's truly hard to say.
The Tianji Sect's rules were strict, and such Sect Secret Techniques were almost never divulged to outsiders.
If one wished to learn, they had to join the sect and undergo countless years of tempering and accumulation before the sect would impart such knowledge.
"That might be rather difficult..." Yu Tianshu pondered. "Take your Sword Sect's Taixiao Sword Mysterious Skill, for example. It's also highly unlikely that cultivators from other sects would be able to practice it, correct?"
Wang Mu nodded.
The Taixiao Sword Mysterious Skill was a secret manual of the Sword Sect.
However, the Sky Cloud Sword Mysterious Skill demands a high aptitude for Sword Dao Talent. Even if given to disciples from other sects, they wouldn't be able to learn it. Many cultivators, without the Sword Sect's specific cultivation training, wouldn't even know how to begin.
These profound cultivation methods were not something one could practice just by obtaining them.
All the major sects had their own methods to protect their Secret Techniques.
Even if you obtained them, you might not be able to cultivate them. Often, rigorous preliminary cultivation or special cultivation methods are required.
For instance, to cultivate the Emperor Earth Secret from Tianlu Temple, one would need to farm at Tianlu Temple for several years to gain a deep understanding of the earth.
Alternatively, by going to special cultivation treasure troves, one might barely meet the minimum requirements to begin.
Wang Mu had taken a shortcut by cultivating in the secret realm of Bishui Grotto Heaven.
Furthermore, he possessed Resting Soil, which was perfectly compatible with the Emperor Earth Secret, making his cultivation process exceptionally smooth.
"Actually, considering Brother Wang's situation, the Mechanism Creation Technique..." Yu Tianshu thought for a moment. "Even if it were imparted to you, you might not be able to cultivate it."
"Why is that?"
"The so-called Mechanism Creation, its essence lies in 'creation' itself..." Yu Tianshu explained. "The act of 'creating all things' involves numerous cultivation concepts that are difficult for ordinary people to comprehend. If one cannot comprehend them, learning becomes very challenging."
"Could you elaborate?" Wang Mu asked.
"Of course, I can," Yu Tianshu replied. "Let me explain a basic theory. In the cultivation philosophy of our Mechanism Creation Technique, all things in this world are composed of a special type of particle energy."
What? Wang Mu was perplexed.
Has the Tianji Sect's technology tree gone completely astray?
"You see? You can't even comprehend this," Yu Tianshu said. "So how could you possibly cultivate the Mechanism Creation Technique?"
"Could it be that these particles also possess different trajectories of motion and exhibit specific distribution probabilities...?" Wang Mu ventured casually.
What?! Yu Tianshu stared at Wang Mu in astonishment.
"Brother Wang, have you studied the cultivation theories of our Tianji Sect?"
It seems the Tianji Sect is likely following a path of technological cultivation, Wang Mu thought. I wonder which ancestor of theirs managed to steer their technological development so off-course, leading them down this particular road.
"No, I've only heard a little about it..." Wang Mu replied.
"What you've described isn't something one could know merely by 'hearing a little about it'," Yu Tianshu mused. "Actually, our Tianji Sect has recently been troubled by an issue of extreme importance to us. Coincidentally, it also has some connection with your Sword Sect..."
"If Brother Wang wishes to cultivate the Mechanism Creation Technique, you would need to become a Guest Disciple of our Tianji Sect and make a certain level of contribution. In that case, it wouldn't be entirely impossible to learn it."
"Tell me, what is this matter?" Wang Mu asked.
"Several years ago..." Yu Tianshu began, then paused thoughtfully. "A batch of Mechanical Men our Tianji Sect sold to your Sword Sect was destroyed by a mysterious individual. At that time, our Sect Master made a wager with Sect Master Jian of your Sword Sect, stating that if that batch of Mechanical Men were destroyed, we would refund ten times their manufacturing cost."
Wang Mu's interest was piqued. This story sounded familiar; it was what Brother Su had told him about the Mechanical Men when he first joined the Sword Sect.
"I've heard of it."
"Those Mechanical Men were very special..." Yu Tianshu said. "Our Sect Master was naturally confident when he made such a bold declaration back then."
Wang Mu remained silent.
"Later, when our Sect Master heard about this, he was greatly astonished and wished to meet the person who had destroyed those Mechanical Men," Yu Tianshu continued. "However, the Sword Sect informed us that... the senior in question was elusive... and couldn't be found."
