Looking at the orb in front of him, Xing Peng braved the pressure and approached one of the orbs, then reached out to touch it.

  As soon as he touched the orb, it emitted an incredibly dazzling light, followed by a massive spiritual pressure assaulting Xing Peng's body, making his blood boil.

  "Can this orb actually check bloodlines?" Xing Peng, touching the orb, revealed a hint of astonishment in his eyes. Such a method, Xing Peng knew from his previous life, was something many major families or sects in ancient times had, but by the age of decline, these methods to detect bloodlines had long vanished. Unexpectedly, in this foreign world, he encountered such methods.

  As Xing Peng marveled, an even more astonishing scene unfolded before him. The orb, originally only as big as a human head, suddenly revealed a light screen over a meter wide, densely packed with text.

  "Fire Cloud Step! Heaven Level body technique martial arts!" This was a fire-attribute body technique martial arts. According to the text, when practitioners deployed this technique, it was as if they were stepping on fire clouds, making the practitioner's movements unpredictable and mysterious.

  "Damn!" Xing Peng, looking at the records of this technique, his pupils suddenly shrank. Deploying this technique could actually make a practitioner seem like they were stepping on fire clouds. Damn it, this was almost like the immortals from legends. Ordinary people, upon seeing someone stepping on fire clouds, would surely think they had witnessed a descent of an immortal!

  "What a pity this is a fire-attribute body technique martial arts. If it were a water-based or another type of technique, I might have been able to learn it!" Xing Peng lamented and shook his head. His body was of the Shadow God Vein type, and although the 'Elemental Storm' had now resolved the coldness, he still could not learn this fire-attribute technique. Learning such a technique would not only bring no benefits to himself but would also cause a conflict of attributes.

  However, Xing Peng, although he could not learn this technique, still memorized it in his mind before moving on to the next orb. To his disappointment, it was another fire-attribute technique secret manual, and this manual was also a Heaven Level high-rank manual. Although the power of this Heaven Level high-rank manual was much greater than other Heaven Level manuals, it was still of no use to Xing Peng.

  On the fourth floor of the Martial Tower, there were a total of eighteen secret manuals. As Xing Peng looked through them, he soon memorized all eighteen manuals. Although the text of these martial arts was very profound, Xing Peng did not feel the slightest difficulty in memorizing them.

  If others discovered this, they would be greatly shocked. In this world, there were people with photographic memory, but even those with such a gift would not think of easily memorizing all eighteen Heaven Level manuals.

  Any Heaven Level manual had a mysterious aura. Ordinary people, upon seeing the manual, would feel as if they were looking at heavenly secret manuals. If you could not comprehend the manual, even if you had a photographic memory, the content memorized would become muddled, leaving you clueless and quickly forgotten. But Xing Peng truly memorized them and would absolutely not forget!

  After looking through the eighteen manuals on the fourth floor, Xing Peng felt somewhat disappointed. The Martial Tower's eighteen manuals, although almost all of Heaven Level, had thirteen of them being fire-attribute technique manuals, leaving Xing Peng only to look but unable to practice.

  Besides these thirteen fire-attribute manuals, there were five others: the saber technique manual 'Startling Thunder Chop,' the leg technique manual 'Thunder Dragon Leg,' and 'Earth Dragon Gang Qi,' 'All Wood Rejuvenation,' and 'Mountain Striking Palm.'

  The first thirteen manuals, Xing Peng could not practice due to fear of conflict with the Profound Qi inside his body, but the last five manuals posed no such obstacles for him.

  After memorizing all the techniques, Xing Peng's gaze turned towards the staircase leading to the fifth floor. Although he had obtained eighteen Heaven Level manuals, Xing Peng was not satisfied; he wanted to try and see if he could obtain even better techniques.

  Looking at the staircase leading to the fifth floor, Xing Peng hesitated for a moment, then walked towards it. As he gradually approached the fifth-floor staircase, a terrifying aura fell upon him, making his blood flow backwards, and even the Profound Qi inside his body showed signs of being suppressed. Seeing this, Xing Peng stopped in his tracks, looked solemnly at the staircase, then turned and walked towards a practice room on the side, entering a practice room with no one inside. With his current strength, the fifth floor was temporarily unreachable.

  As soon as he entered the practice room, his starry eyes suddenly lit up. The practice room was filled with a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, far stronger than outside. Moreover, there was a jade bed inside the practice room.

  "Damn it! This is a practice room? No wonder the practice rooms in the clan have always been highly anticipated. I didn't expect that the practice room on the fourth floor not only had richer Vital Energy than outside, but it also had such a grand setup!"

  Seeing the white jade bed, Xing Peng did not hesitate for a moment and immediately sat down on it, then began to circulate his inner techniques. Instantly, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy rushed into Xing Peng's body like a tide, at a frightening speed, allowing Xing Peng to clearly feel his strength increasing.

  Furthermore, as these Vital Energies surged in, Xing Peng's strength, which had reached the late Earth Level, also showed signs of loosening, advancing towards the peak of the late Earth Level. Just as his realm stepped into the peak of the late Earth Level, the cold Qi within his seven meridians and eight channels surged towards his dantian, joining the ranks of Profound Qi, significantly boosting his internal power.

  "In just over a month, to think that in just this short time, my strength is about to return to before I came to this world! Reaching the peak of the late Earth Level. The Innate realm, for me, is no longer a difficult feat..."

  Xing Peng laughed excitedly. In his previous life, it took him over a decade to reach the Innate realm, and now, in just over a month, his strength was almost caught up. This pace truly delighted him.

  Moreover, because he had reached the Innate realm in his previous life, although it was only for a brief moment, this gave him the experience to advance into the Innate realm again. Given some more time, he was completely confident he could return to the Innate realm.

  In the circle of martial artists, many people were stuck above the Innate realm, because advancing to the Innate realm is not only about strength but also about insight. Most people spend their entire lives unable to comprehend the mysteries of the Innate realm. But now, for Xing Peng, this was not a problem at all.
