Chapter 2: Waste Reduction Methods

  When Haitian had just stepped into the entrance of Zhen Hai Pavilion, Hai Wuya, who was standing at the door, suddenly said in a low voice: "Tian'er, on the fifth layer of the third row of bookshelves, there is a high-level cultivation method with yellow rank."

  After finishing speaking, he lifted his head as if nothing had happened.

  Haitian nodded inexplicably. Logically speaking, the choice of all kung fu moves is made by oneself, regardless of level, and once chosen, it cannot be regretted. But Haiwuya took a certain risk to tell Haitian the best choice, and it must be said that Haiwuya was really good to him.

  "Thank you, Father." A warm current flowed through Haitian's heart. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never experienced the warmth of family love. This life, coming to the Hai family, he also felt the warmth of family love.

  Hearing Hai Tian's response, a faint smile also appeared on Hai Wu Ya's face. "Alright, go quickly, don't let others take it first."

  "Brother Tian! What are you still doing standing at the door? Hurry up and come in, there are so many cultivation methods here, it's dazzling to look at!" Xiaoyu had already been attracted by the rows of bookshelves inside the Zhenhai Pavilion, originally wanting to discuss with Haitian about choosing a cultivation method, but turned around to find that Haitian was still standing at the door, and loudly called out.

  Haitian smiled slightly and immediately walked forward, but he didn't go to the third bookshelf that Hai Wuya pointed at, instead he went towards Xiaoyu.

  What's the use of Huang Ji Gong Fa? It might be pretty good for ordinary people, but for him, it was completely meaningless.

  On this Soul Sword Continent, people cultivate not magic or internal energy, but the sword!

  A person's strength or weakness mainly depends on their own abilities. For example, Hai Tian was once a Sword God-level expert standing at the top of the entire Soul Sword Continent. But it's not that everyone has the opportunity to cultivate to the level of a Sword God.

  To cultivate into a Sword God, apart from having extremely good innate talent, the most important thing is the cultivation method.

  After tens of thousands of years of development, people have long since cultivated to the peak and divided into many methods. This has also led to the existence of many different levels of gongfa.

  People divide the practice of Gongfa into four levels: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang. Each level is further divided into three sub-levels: initial, intermediate, and advanced. The high-level Huang stage mentioned earlier by Hai Wuya is the most powerful one in the Huang stage Gongfa.

  On the entire Soul Sword Continent, the Yellow Rank cultivation method is the most common. Most cultivators cultivate this rank of cultivation method. However, the Yellow Rank cultivation method has too many limitations and the cultivation speed is slow. Wanting to cultivate to become a Sword God is almost impossible.

  The Xuanjie level of kung fu is relatively rare on the Soul Sword Continent, and generally only some larger forces may possess it.

  The power of the Earth rank is even rarer than that of the Mystic rank, and only those super-large powers will have it.

  As for the last Heavenly Ladder Technique, it has been many years since its appearance. As to whether it exists or not, it has become an unsolvable mystery on the Soul Sword Continent.

  In the past, Hai Tian's cultivation was only a local middle-level cultivation method, so he didn't think much of the yellow-level primary cultivation method mentioned by Hai Wu Ya. However, because of Hai Wu Ya's concern for him, he didn't directly refuse either.

  "Brother Tian! Come and see, there are so many cultivation methods here. Which one do you think we should choose?" Xiaoyu was excited like a little bird that had just left its nest, chirping non-stop.

  "Light rain, these cultivation methods are all divided into attributes. You'd better choose according to your own body attribute, only then will you achieve the best effect." Hai Tian said here and paused for a moment, "You are of wind attribute, it's best to choose a wind system method to match with."

  "What's the Wind-style Quan Fa?" Xiaoyu's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes wandering back and forth along the rows of bookshelves, seemingly weighing her options.

  Xiao Yu was deep in thought, and Hai Tian wasn't by his side. Instead, he wandered aimlessly on the first floor of the vast Zhenhai Pavilion.

  Just now, in that short period of time, he had already discovered that the basic cultivation methods of this first layer were all yellow-level. Not even one book of Xuan-level cultivation method was found. Could a family like Hai, which possessed such mysterious seals, not have a single Xuan-level cultivation method? Anyway, Hai Tian would not believe it, and it must be hidden somewhere else, for example, on the second floor.

  Those collateral children who came in with them were all excitedly selecting. Probably among the crowd that came to select their skills this time, only Haitian would be so leisurely.

  Suddenly, a cultivation manual abruptly entered Haitian's line of sight.

  "The Nine Heavenly Swordsmanship" is the name of this cultivation technique.

  Haitian's heart suddenly started racing rapidly, and his breathing became quite urgent. He stretched out his trembling right hand from the bookshelf and pulled out this cultivation method: "It can't be true, can it?"

  He carefully patted the dusty book, and the words "Nine Heavens Divine Sword Manual" immediately became clear. Hai Tian's pupils suddenly widened, and he kept shouting in his heart: "How is this possible! How is this possible! This is the super powerful technique cultivated by the Nine Heavens Sword God who dominated the Soul Sword Continent back then, how can it possibly appear in a small Hai family?"

  Jiutian Sword God was a sword god thousands of years ago, and at that time, no one on the entire Soul Sword Continent did not know him. It is said that he had already cultivated to the highest level of Jiuxing Sword God at that time, and can be said to be the first sword god in the history of the Soul Sword Continent!

  However, he later mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind his cultivation method "Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual".

  Regarding the disappearance of Jiutian Sword God, many people have been speculating. Some think that Jiutian Sword God has surpassed Jiu Xing Sword God and gone to another world, while others believe that Jiutian Sword God is already dead.

  For a time, there were many rumors, but no matter where the Nine Heavens Sword God went, the "Nine Heavens Divine Sword Manual" he left behind was a treasure that everyone on the Soul Sword Continent yearned to obtain.

  After a series of fierce battles, this magical skill "Nine Heavenly Sword Manual" also disappeared. Since then, it has never appeared on the Soul Sword Continent again, but who would have thought that it would appear in a small Hai family?

  "Hoo-hoo!" Hai Tian's mood was extremely excited, after all, this "Nine Heavenly Sword Manual" was a high-level Heaven-grade technique, far surpassing the Earth-grade intermediate technique he had back then.

  But then came the question, how could Hai's family have such a treasure and still be just a small family after all these years?

  With a strong curiosity, Hai Tian immediately began to carefully flip through it. Soon he discovered that this Nine Heaven Sword Manual was only an incomplete version. However, even so, relying on just the first half, cultivating to the level of Sword Emperor would be completely without issue.

  And the strongest of the Hai family, namely Hai Tian's father Hai Wuya, was only a five-star great sword master, how could he be so much worse?

  On the Soul Sword Continent, people collectively referred to cultivators as swordsmen. The ranks of swordsmen were divided into: First Rank - Swordsman, followed by Sword Master, Great Sword Master, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Sect, Sword Venerable, Sword Sage and finally, Sword God.

  Each rank is further divided into one to nine stars.

  Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out! Haitian was puzzled and shook his head. In the past, Jiutian Sword God's name shook the entire Soul Sword Continent, and the seniors of the Hai family couldn't have known nothing about it, but why didn't they cultivate?

  "Has everyone made their choice? If you have, bring it over here to register!" Hai Wuya's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Hai Tian's thoughts.

  At that time, those collateral disciples who had already chosen their cultivation methods were excitedly walking to the exit, taking out their own methods and letting Hai Wuyan register them.

  "Brother Tian! Brother Tian, have you made your choice?" Xiaoyu immediately ran over, holding a green-covered cultivation manual in her hand. "Brother Tian, look, I've chosen the 'Green Wind Manual'!"

  "Not bad, this is indeed a high-level cultivation technique of the Yellow Rank. Xiaoyu, your eyesight is really not bad." Haitian sincerely praised, you know that these cultivation techniques will not explicitly state the level of the technique, everything depends on one's own judgment.

  However, Xiao Yu unexpectedly lowered his head and said in a timid tone: "Tian Ge, I'm telling you, this is the cultivation method my father let me choose. He said that most of the cultivation methods here are only low-level Huang Jie, with only a few high-level Huang Jie existing."

  Hearing this, Haitian couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed that fairness was only superficial. As direct descendants of the Hai family, they would always be treated slightly better than those indirect descendants.

  "Huh? Tian Ge, why did you choose this cultivation method?" Xiaoyu was surprised and raised an eyebrow when she saw the cultivation method Hai Tian had chosen.

  "What? Can't I choose?" Haitian furrowed his brow in surprise.

  Xiao Yu shook her head: "It's not that. Never mind, I also can't explain it clearly, but I think Eldest Uncle will definitely stop you from choosing this cultivation method later."

  As for Xiaoyu's words, Hai Tian's heart rose with a big question mark, but he walked directly towards the door.

  Those collateral sons in front of him were all handing over the exercises they had chosen to Hai Wuya for registration. Moreover, Hai Wuya was also constantly commenting on them, telling them the level of their cultivation exercises.

  Unfortunately, most people chose the primary cultivation method of the Yellow Stage, and only two people chose the intermediate level. This made those two extremely delighted.

  Before long, they arrived at the seaside.

  As expected, Hai Wuya jumped up as soon as he saw the cultivation method chosen by Haitian, his eyes wide with surprise: "Tian'er! Why did you choose this method?"

  "Can't it be done? Didn't you say the method was optional?" Haitian looked at Hai Wuya's face with a puzzled gaze.

  Hai Wu Ya was very annoyed in his heart, Hai Tian actually did not listen to his words and chose that high-level yellow-grade cultivation method. However, in front of so many people, he couldn't say anything, he just sighed: "Tian Er, give you another chance, go choose again."

  "Dad, what's so strange about this kung fu manual? Why won't you let me choose?"

  Hai Wu Ya glanced at the stubborn sea and sky, finding that everyone's eyes were on him. He helplessly sighed: "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. The book you chose, 'Nine Heavenly Sword Manual', is a heavenly-grade cultivation method!"

  "Heavenly Stairway Technique?" The crowd erupted into shocked cries, with many people even doubting their own ears. The Heavenly Stairway Technique hadn't appeared in at least several hundred to over a thousand years.

  Haitian, who had long known the details of "Jiutian Shenjian Jue", was not too surprised, which made Hai Wuya, who had been paying attention to him, slightly startled.

  "But it's also a useless technique!"
