That was a cultivation technique, named "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art" (《天命造化诀》).

The "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art" was a mysterious technique that seized the fortune of heaven and earth, cultivating the soul and fate, granting eternal indestructibility and true transcendence beyond all things.

"A cultivation technique? Eternal indestructibility, transcendence beyond heaven and earth?"

Ryan Lawson absorbed the information, his eyes wide with disbelief.

At Qingfeng Academy, he had only ever practiced basic martial skills, never coming into contact with advanced techniques.

"All-knowing, all-understanding, able to answer anything?"

Ryan Lawson looked at the lines of text on the page, murmuring to himself.

Buzz! Swish!

On the page, a blue-gray light flickered, outlining an ancient character.

"Yes."

This heavenly book actually possessed spirituality, answering with words.

Ryan Lawson was momentarily stunned, then grew excited; this "Creation Heavenly Book" was truly miraculous, seemingly able to communicate with people.

"Heavenly Book! Why can't I awaken my martial vein?"

Ryan Lawson hoped inwardly, asking nervously.

The next instant.

A line of text appeared on the page.

"The incomplete 'Nether Dragon Divine Vein,' a divine-grade martial vein, is extremely difficult to awaken with the spiritual energy of this place."

Ryan Lawson read it out one by one, instantly shocked to the core.

After answering this question, the bright area on the page shrank from one third to one fifth.

"Divine... divine vein?"

Ryan Lawson's eyes widened, stunned for a long time.

For nearly a thousand years, the entire Cangyun Kingdom had not produced a single heaven-grade martial vein, let alone the unheard-of divine vein.

"No wonder! My martial vein has never been able to awaken!"

Ryan Lawson was thrilled and overjoyed.

High-quality martial veins are difficult to awaken, but once successful, cultivation would progress at lightning speed, soaring to the skies!

"Then... how do I awaken my divine vein?"

Suppressing his excitement, Ryan Lawson asked.

"Practicing the 'Heaven's Mandate Creation Art' will help awaken the divine vein."

"In addition, the method to awaken..."

At this moment, the bright area on the page suddenly dimmed, leaving less than one tenth.

Some kind of power in the heavenly book was being rapidly consumed.

"Insufficient power of the heavenly book, unable to deduce further."

"Practicing the 'Heaven's Mandate Creation Art' can help restore the book's power."

A line of dim text appeared, and the heavenly book stopped responding.

Whoosh!

The massive ancient book slowly closed, the blue-gray light on its surface completely exhausted.

In the next instant, Ryan Lawson's consciousness returned to reality.

He was stunned at first, then discovered that the content of the "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art" remained.

This was not an illusion!

Ryan Lawson looked down and saw that the dark blue giant stone beneath his feet had turned into a pile of powder, drifting away with the wind.

"'Heaven's Mandate Creation Art'? Can it really help me awaken my martial vein?"

Full of anticipation, Ryan Lawson sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

The "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art" was a miraculous technique for cultivating the soul and fate, divided into nine levels, plus an introductory chapter.

Just the introductory chapter alone made Ryan Lawson feel its profound mystery.

However, he was naturally gifted, reaching the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm at the age of twelve. Although the introductory chapter of the "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art" was indeed complex, he was able to practice it smoothly.

"Marvelous! Truly marvelous!"

Ryan Lawson quickly entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

That such a wondrous art, directly targeting the soul, could exist in this world.

Every sentence within surpassed his previous understanding, giving him a sense of enlightenment and wonder.

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

Ryan Lawson had successfully mastered the introductory chapter of the "Heaven's Mandate Creation Art."

He opened his eyes slightly, and was instantly stunned.

Whoosh! Rustle!

The sounds of wind blowing through the grass and the rustling of leaves around him entered his ears with incredible clarity.

His eyes could see dozens of meters away; even an ant on a tree, or the veins on a leaf, were crystal clear.

Moreover, Ryan Lawson discovered that his spiritual consciousness could extend beyond his body.

"Could this be the 'spiritual sense' that only high-level martial artists possess?"

Ryan Lawson was shocked.

On the path of martial arts, the Body Tempering Realm was only the entry level, called a martial apprentice, mainly for tempering the body and laying the foundation.

Only by awakening the martial vein and advancing to the Vein Opening Realm could one be considered to have entered the world of martial artists.

Above the Vein Opening Realm were the Spirit Sea Realm, Earth Origin Realm, and Heaven Pool Realm, among other martial realms. Above the Heaven Pool Realm, they existed almost only in legend, with the ability to fly.

As for nurturing spiritual sense, only high-level martial artists at least at the "Earth Origin Realm" could possibly possess it.

Swish!

Under the cover of spiritual sense, Ryan Lawson could perceive his surroundings even more clearly than with his eyes, controlling an area of four to five meters around him.

"The 'Heaven's Mandate Creation Art' has just reached the introductory level, yet I've already undergone such a transformation."

While delighted, Ryan Lawson couldn't help but look forward to what it would be like if he awakened his divine vein.

……

Just then, footsteps approached nearby.

Four youths walked over, chatting and laughing, all wearing the uniforms of Qingfeng Academy.

"What do you think, could that loser Ryan Lawson really have killed himself?"

The tall youth in the lead had shining eyes and an imposing presence.

The tall youth was none other than "William York," who had led a group to beat up Ryan Lawson that morning. After school, they happened to pass by again.

"Heh heh. Even if he really died, you can't blame us. He was the one who couldn't take it and ran headfirst into it."

Beside him, a pockmarked student grinned maliciously.

"Those bastards from the Liu clan again!"
