Unknown Treasure

As Ling Tian gazed upon the unknown treasure, a sense of curiosity and apprehension washed over him.

Unlike the space-time cube, whose majesty he could at least perceive, this mysterious object elicited only a deep sense of familiarity, as if it held secrets that were intimately tied to his very existence.

"What are you?" he wondered aloud, his voice echoing softly in the chamber.

The treasure floated serenely before him, bathed in a soft glow that seemed to emanate from within.

It was encased in a sphere of light, its surface smooth and unblemished, giving no indication of its true nature.

As Ling Tian reached out tentatively towards the treasure, he felt a strange sensation wash over him, like a whisper in the depths of his mind.

It was as if the treasure itself was communicating with him, its silent presence speaking volumes in the language of the soul.

"Could this be the true source of my reincarnation?" he pondered, his thoughts swirling with uncertainty.

The notion seemed both terrifying and exhilarating, promising answers to questions that had plagued him for lifetimes.

With a deep breath, Ling Tian summoned his courage and focused his mind, allowing himself to become one with the mysterious object before him.

As he delved deeper into its secrets, he knew that he was on the brink of uncovering truths that would forever change the course of his destiny.

"This treasure... it feels like an extension of myself as if it's been with me through even my first life."

He reached out with his mind, attempting to connect with the treasure.

Unlike the space-time cube, which had overwhelmed him with its raw power, this object seemed to welcome his touch. 

As his consciousness brushed against it, a flood of memories of a cultivation technique surged into him.

And then an unknown light surged from the treasure and merged in his dantian, he noticed the light but was soon overwhelmed with the flood of memories of the cultivation technique.

Even in his past life in the Divine Radiance Realm, he had never seen such a complicated technique. 

The most astonishing thing was that the technique was only limited to the mortal level, yet its complexity surpassed even the peak techniques found in the Eternal Plane.

"This... how is this possible?" 

Ling Tian murmured, awestruck by the intricacy of the technique. 

"A mortal-level cultivation method with such profound depth... if a cultivator masters this completely, it could elevate that cultivator's foundation beyond imagination."

He began to study the technique, each line and diagram revealing layers of understanding that intertwined principles of body, mind, and soul cultivation. 

The technique was designed to refine one's essence to a degree of perfection unheard of in the mortal realm.

"This technique... it's not just about power. It's about transcending the limits of mortal understanding, forging a unique path to true enlightenment, this technique is made to create a inner world." 

He realized with absolute shock as he continued to speak.

"This technique can help me to make a inner world, but I need to reach the 4th level of qi refining to start on with that."

He realized the true potential of the technique at this movement.

"If I can master this, I can lay a foundation so strong that even the barriers of the Divine Radiance Realm will not be able to contain me. I might even be able to create a Divine Radiance realm inside of me."

His thoughts raced as he contemplated the potential of the technique. 

"With this, I can protect my family, take revenge on my enemies, and rise to heights no one in the Jin clan or any other cultivator from Divine Radiance Realm can fathom."

Driven by this revelation, Ling Tian vowed to master the technique. 

"I will unlock every secret, understand every nuance, and perfect every move from this technique. No longer will I be bound by the limitations of my past lives. I will rise above them all."

He felt a surge of energy and purpose, the burdens of his injuries and past betrayals fading in the light of this new path. The treasure in his sea of consciousness had given him not just power, but a way forward, a means to achieve his deepest desires and highest aspirations.

"Thank you," he whispered to the treasure, feeling a profound connection. "Together, we will conquer the realms and rewrite destiny itself."

With renewed vigor, Ling Tian set his mind to the task. He began to immerse himself in the cultivation technique, knowing that every moment of effort would bring him closer to his ultimate goal: supremacy in the Divine Radiance Realm and beyond.

The technique's name was the Eternal Transcendent Scripture. Ling Tian had only unlocked the mortal section of the scripture, for his cultivation was still insufficient to handle the weight of its full insight.

His soul would have been crushed if he had merely glimpsed at the technique's higher levels. Thus, he focused his efforts on mastering the mortal section, understanding its principles, and laying a solid foundation for his future spiritual advancement.

As time continued to pass in his room, no one came to disturb him since it was in the middle of the night. Ling Tian delved deeper into his cultivation with the sole goal of understanding even a bit of the technique. After sometime there were fluctuations of qi around him, he opened his eyes and spoke.

"I have finally started cultivation in this life and broke thought to the 1st level of the qi refining realm."

He opened his palm and closed it to feel his newfound strength. Then he said after thinking for some time.

"If I had this level of strength that day I would have decimated that damn wolf and my little sister wouldn't have been in such danger."

He vowed to himself to never let any of his family members come in harm's way.

"I won't let anyone stop me from achieving my ambitions in this life. I will transcend the Divine Radiance Realm to see the world outside."

Just then he smelled a foul smell. He looked around and realized it was due to the impurities expelled from his body.

"Ugh this smell is really killing me, I should go and take a shower."

With that, he went to wash himself clean in the bathroom. After cleaning himself he looked in the mirror to see himself. He spoke with a smirk on his face after looking at himself.

"Even in this life I look absolutely dashing."

He remarked with a touch of narcissism, his tone playful as he admired his appearance in the mirror.

After indulging in a bit more self-admiration, Ling Tian returned to his bed to resume his cultivation. He sat down cross-legged on the bed and spoke aloud.

"I have just reached the 1st level of the qi refining realm, I should not rush my cultivation and make my foundation solid."

He went on to further refine the parts that he already refined in the 1st level of the qi refining realm again and again for the whole night.

As the night wore on, Ling Tian remained immersed in his cultivation, his focus unwavering as he diligently refined the foundation of the first level of the qi refining realm. 

With each repetition, he felt the energy coursing through his body, strengthening his foundation and solidifying his progress.

Hour after hour passed, but Ling Tian persisted, his determination driving him forward. The tranquility of the night enveloped him as he delved deeper into his practice, his mind clear and his circulation of qi precise.

By the time dawn approached, Ling Tian felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him. Though tired from the night's exertions, he knew that his efforts had not been in vain. With a contented smile, he resolved to continue his cultivation journey with the same dedication and perseverance in the days to come.
