Monarch of Timechapter 385: the tip of the iceberg!

''Infernal Qi refinement art! A Saint low-grade cultivation technique that allows its user to absorb the qi in the air around them, and transform it into infernal qi that they can store in their dantian. This cultivation technique is exceptionally suited for cultivators who had comprehended the Dao of Fire!

If the cultivator who trains in this technique chooses to absorb the qi from a hot environment, their cultivation speed will increase according to the heat's intensity. Only the first part of the cultivation technique is available!''

''Earth armor's protection! A Saint low-grade martial skill that allows its user to condense their qi into a protective armor around their body and protect themselves from physical attacks. This martial skill is exceptionally suitable for qi cultivators who had comprehended the Dao of Earth!

Even body refinement cultivators at the same level, will have trouble piercing through the earth armor in a short amount of time. Only the first part of the martial skill is available!''

''Holy light absorption art! A Saint low-grade martial skill that allows its user to absorb the qi around them and transform it into light element qi that they can store in their dantian. This cultivation technique is much stronger than most other Saint low-grade cultivation techniques, but its degree of difficulty is also much higher!

Only cultivators who have comprehended the Dao of Light can train in this technique! Only the first part of the cultivation technique is available!''

Shun Long stared in front of him with wide eyes, as more and more cultivation techniques and martial skills filled his gaze, all of which were clearly at the Saint grade! Additionally, when compared to the 'Moonlight Sigil' that he had gotten from Cui Guoliang in the past, or the Saint low-grade cultivation technique from the 'Alchemists' Guild' in the Heaven's Dome city, these techniques were clearly at a higher level, despite them being at the Saint low-grade as well.

''The Holy sect is definitely much stronger than the Feng family that is supporting the 'Alchemists' Guild'! Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to teach so many cultivation techniques and martial skills only to those who managed to pass through the first test!

Even if these martial skills and cultivation techniques are all incomplete, they are still countless times more valuable than any Mystic high-grade cultivation technique or martial skill!''

As Shun Long stared at the Saint-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills in front of him and noticed that he was only allowed to study the first part, he didn't feel any disappointment.

Instead, he had already expected that and thought that it was completely natural.

After all, how could the Holy sect hand over the complete Saint-grade techniques and skills like they were cabbages on the streets?

''This is definitely done in order to entice every cultivator into doing their best to enter the sect! At the same time, even if these people return back to their own continents in the future, as long as they haven't obtained the complete cultivation techniques or martial skills, they would definitely ask their descendants or disciples to do so for them once they participated in the test of the Holy sect!''

As Shun Long's train of thought continued towards that direction, he suddenly guessed that the Shengtian dynasty and the other peak powers of the 'Night star continent' that had sent their descendants to participate in the Holy sect's test, must have definitely told them to do their best and obtain certain powerful Saint-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills!

After all, if any of them managed to enter the Holy sect and could obtain even a single powerful Saint-grade cultivation technique or a martial skill, to those peak powers of the 'Night star continent' it would be countless times more useful than obtaining even ten Saint low-grade techniques at once!

Such a matter could even change the balance of power inside an entire continent, creating a new peak power that could probably exceed even the likes of the Shengtian dynasty and the others!

After a brief moment of pause, a look of realization flashed through Shun Long's eyes at the same time, as he then thought to himself

''Indeed, only a huge power that is many times stronger than any power from the 'Night star continent, could possibly hold such a recruitment event and at such a large scale!

Even if three-fourths of all the participants from the 'Night star continent' were eliminated during the first test, that still leaves 50.000 people from the original 200.000 that had entered the first test!

However, there were definitely people from other continents instead of just the 'Night star continent' that participated in the first test!

In the Eastern region alone, there are said to be 2 other continents as well aside from the 'Night star continent', and it's very likely that the test of the Holy sect involved those 2 continents as well!

Additionally, based on the different clothings that those people were wearing, the Holy sect's test definitely involved more than 'just' the 3 continents of the Eastern region!

The southern region is also said to have 4 different continents which are probably the same size as the 'Night star continent', while the western region has 2 of them!

As for the northern region, it is said to have 5 continents instead!

Even if the Holy sect's test didn't expand to all of those continents and instead it just reached half of them, if each continent has on average as many people as the 'Night star continent', just the people who managed to pass through the first test of the Holy sect must definitely exceed 400.000!

And these 400.000 are the strongest cultivators from the original 1 million and 600.000 that entered the first test!''

As Shun Long realized the horrifying level of influence and power that the Holy sect had, a look of shock had appeared in his eyes!

At the same time, as he reached this conclusion, Shun Long seemed to have realized another thing as well

''In that case, these are definitely not all of the cultivation techniques that the Holy sect has! This is probably just the tip of the iceberg! Otherwise, it would have made no sense for the Holy sect to leak their elite techniques to people in every continent!

Even if it is just the first part of the techniques, this isn't a trivial matter! Unless they have even stronger cultivation techniques and martial skills, there is no way that they would dare to do this!''

As Shun Long reached this conclusion, his eyes continued to gaze at the names on the barrier of knowledge, before his gaze was suddenly attracted to a certain martial skill!

''Saint low-grade martial skill, Death's chant!''
