"Are you seeking a divine skill?"
Xuan Xin was staring at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu nodded, "Is there a way to obtain one?"
Xuan Xin asked again: "Have you ever cultivated a divine skill?"
Xiao Mu shook his head.
Xuan Xin explained: "These so-called divine skills are special usage methods of the True Force. They are not easy to acquire for ordinary people."
"But as guardians, the path for us to attain the divine skills is much simpler. You probably don't know this, but the ancient tombs that we guard are the places where these divine skills derive."
"The ancient tomb?"
Xiao Mu had speculated that the Royal Ancient Tomb could derive divine skills, but he was unsure about the specifics of this derivation.
Xuan Xin nodded, "Even though the Royal Ancient Tomb we guard can produce divine skills, it is not easy to obtain them. You need to have merit before you're eligible to put the basic scriptures of your divine skill into the tomb, thereby deriving the divine skill."
Xiao Mu noticed a problem and asked: "Do I have to compile the basic scriptures of the divine skill myself?"
"Of course!"
Xuan Xin nodded matter-of-factly. "Who else knows which divine skill you're cultivating? How can they help you compile it if they don't know? Furthermore, divine skills are not like basic secret manuals, they involve using True Force. The complexity of the mutation process is naturally higher. A slight mistake could turn the mutated secret manual into a plain one, not the divine skill."
That explains it!
Xiao Mu couldn't help but nod in agreement.
No wonder when he was at Broken Truth Mountain, he had repeatedly failed to mutate divine skills while compiling secret manuals. Everything he tried to mutate turned out to be a regular secret manual.
Compared to a divine skill that involves true force, a regular secret manual is much simpler, and the difficulty of compiling is not significant. As long as he knows the basic principles and understands the specific contents he needs, he can compile it.
The mutation process is actually a process of completion.
Whether it's the secret manuals that he compiled himself or the antique ones, the layers of the mutated secret manuals are closely related to the basic scriptures or self-compiled secret manuals.
Only after introducing the mutated energy can it mutate into a real secret manual.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask once more, "How do I compile the basic scriptures of a divine skill?"
As for having merit and putting his compiled secret manuals into the ancient tomb, it was not something Xiao Mu needed to consider.
Being the possessor of the Mutation Technique, he just needed to compile the basic secret manual, then he could use Energy Points to mutate it himself.
For Xiao Mu, the key right now is to know how to compile the basic secret manual of a divine skill.
Xuan Xin sighed reluctantly, "How do you know so little?"
"Heh, heh!"
Xiao Mu gave an embarrassed smile.
The rapid increase in his power didn't leave him much time to learn about the basic knowledge within the Alliance.
He had only just learned about the so-called guardians of the ancient ruins.
"Please will you explain it to me?"
As he said that, he gave a salute to Xuan Xin.
"Well... alright then!"
Xuan Xin hesitated for a moment before eventually agreeing. She glanced at Xiao Mu and then chuckled, "I'm helping you this time, so later on... if I ask you for favor, you cannot refuse."
While she was speaking, a blush spread over her face, and she bashfully looked down.
"Of course!"
Xiao Mu agreed immediately.
Xuan Xin smiled brightly, "To compile a secret manual, first, you need to know the specific situation about the True Force you are cultivating. For that, you need to do some research."
"The references can be found in the Book Collection Room in the ancient palace."
"Once you understand the True Force you're cultivating, you need to consider what type of divine skill you want to compile. For example, attack type, defense type, body technique type, support type, and so on."
"After you've considered the type of divine skill you want to compile, you need to search for the corresponding secret manuals. These manuals can also be found in the Book Collection Room in the ancient palace."
"Afterwards, you need to consider the method of exertion, specific ways, and gestures of usage. How to combine these gestures and exertion method with the True Force you are cultivating into the divine skill you need to mutate is the key."
"After doing all of these processes, you can organise your thoughts and compile them into a book. This book will be the basic scripture of the divine skill you are looking for."
"You then place this basic scripture into the Royal Ancient Tomb and use the special energy inside the tomb to mutate it. This way, you can receive the divine skill you want."
"But remember, a divine skill isn't text or a pattern. It can only be understood, not told. It is purely an Energy Body. Once you receive it, you can directly absorb and learn it, but it can't be taught to others nor written into a book."
"Of course, everyone can only cultivate the divine skill that corresponds to the True Force they possess. If you cultivate the wrong one, for instance if a person cultivating the Yin Force mistakenly cultivates a divine skill related to the Yang Force, the conflict that occurs from the energy clash could be fatal. You should bear this in mind."
"So that's how it is!"
Xuan Xin's words made Xiao Mu feel enlightened.
No wonder his attempts at mutating divine skills failed time and again. Turns out, it wasn't an issue of his Mutation Technique, but rather, it was the problem with the basic scriptures compilation of the divine skill he produced.
If he hasn't grasped the essence of real power, the basic type of the divine skill, and the specific usage method of the divine skill, how strange it would be if he could compile the secret manuals of divine skills that are of a higher level.
