Thousands-Arms Cultivation Technique!

Yone narrowed his eyes as he looked at a specific spot at the bottom of a tree trunk, specifically at a few symbols drawn circularly.

Any passerby who wasn't looking for specific strange things out of place would easily miss the symbols Yone was looking at.

'Seems like the memories of the guard were truly genuine,' Yone thought with some expectations,' He honestly didn't quite fully trust the system yet, since the secrets of a cultivator were akin to a whole life and immense power and wealth by itself.'

However, as he looked at the symbols resembling a formation, he was fully convinced.

'What random tier-four cultivation technique!' Yone sneered,' This amber extraction system heaven-defying methods are simply unheard of!'

In the next moment, he swiftly moved his index finger to certain points inside the circular formation and waited.

This was the key to opening this tier-1 formation the guard placed here to protect his secret passage from this cursed place.

From what Yone understood after digesting the guard's memories early on. Formations were a type of power related to martial arts cultivation since it depended on spiritual energy to function but it was also entirely different.

Briefly, it was a whole other path for cultivators who found no success in martial arts but instead in formations, or even liked formations even more to tread on.

These formations could be used in basically everything, from attracting more spiritual energy into a certain location or even being used as traps or keys to gates like the one he was looking at.

But since it was a tier 1 which was the lowest level of formations, it is effortlessly breakable by anyone who notice it above the foundation establishment realm which is probably the main reason why the guard had placed his secret passageway in this desolate place in the jungle.

Yone however couldn't care less about this world's cultivation systems and instantly pushed all those thoughts to the back of his mind.

In the next second, a golden light lit up the whole circular, and with a clicking sound, the tree trunk which could support an adult human to enter it opened a wide door two times the size of Yone.

The moment Yone saw this scene, he instantly leaped forward and entered the entrance, the door tightly closing behind him.

The passageway was pitch-black, with only a few insects providing faint light, allowing him to see a few centimeters ahead of him.

Yone on the other hand didn't care.

He was never planning to instantly leave this place and go to the nearby town anyway.

From the memories he received from the guard, beasts roamed the jungle where the exit of this secret path was located, and even though they weren't quite strong and could easily be avoided by taking certain routes, he still needed some form of strength and cultivation base to protect himself.

He didn't want to roam around as a weakling of a child.

That was too dangerous!

He isn't ready to take such major risks yet. 

He didn't need to in the first place, he already had a cultivation technique, if everything went according to his initial plan, he would be able to cultivate here for a few months if not years.

'As for food and water,' Yone scratched his head in annoyance and fell deep in thought,' Hunting in this jungle ruled by the black rose is beyond risky, I should hunt on the other side of this secret passage.'

He planned to reach the exit of this place and cultivate behind the door, whenever he was hungry or thirsty, he would go to fill his stomach.

He wasn't worried about whether he would find food or water since he already knew from the memories provided to him that both existed in bulks, all he had to do was have some strength to hunt those animals and a bit of caution to roam the jungle and drink from the stream.

Thankfully, it didn't take long before he saw the exit.

It was another tree trunk from the looks of it, which also required a formation key.

After he checked on the formation lock a few times just in case it got ruined by mistake, he heaved a sigh of relief seeing it intact.

He then sat cross-legged on the dirty ground, and following The Thousands-Arms Cultivation Technique the system gave him earlier on, he started cultivating.

Soon, above his head, a tiny shadow of a silhouette with four arms appeared.

The silhouette slowly spread its hands and slightly opened its mouth. With that simple movement, nature's spiritual qi rushed towards Yone like a flood.

Boom!

Yone's body shook.

The ferocity of nature's Qi almost engulfed him.

Yone was startled.

This was way too intense!

The force was on the verge of bursting his meridians as his forehead broke out in sweat. His body was untrained and the Qi that flowed inside it was a bit too much for the current him.

Yone couldn't help but smirk feeling the threat of being a cripple looming over his head.

'It seems like a tier-four cultivation technique isn't a joke,' Yone thought,' Even with my low talent as that woman deemed me to be, I could easily absorb this much!'

Yone at first thought he would struggle to cultivate and have to go out soon enough to look for resources or join some sort of clan or sect, but now, he felt that he could wait a bit more time before he proceeded with his plan.

As for how he knew that his cultivation speed was fast compared to ordinary people?

The guard's memories were more than enough to display the difference.

From his memories and the situation he was currently facing, Yone understood why the guard was only at the 3rd layer of the foundation establishment realm.

'Even though my talent is similar to his being a low-grade talent, our cultivation techniques were like the difference between heaven and earth,'

Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, his hand tightened and a memory flashed past his eyes.

'It won't be long before I wash this village with your blood, my dear parents and neighbors,'

But he soon shrugged these thoughts out of his mind.

Revenge was but a minor goal for him, his true goal was on a whole different level.

It could be said that revenge was a means to lift some of his boredom and have fun while getting used to this world.
