With the token symbolizing the authority of the Heaven Mandate Peak Head in hand, Li Yun encountered no obstacles. He entered the pavilion with ease and was even permitted to ascend directly to its highest floor, where the finest and most treasured martial arts of Heaven Mandate Peak were preserved.
When selecting martial arts within the Martial Arts Pavilion of Heaven Mandate Peak, Li Yun did not need to deliberate as carefully as he had in the Martial Library. Here, he possessed special privileges granted by the Heaven Mandate Peak Head. Any technique that caught his interest could be taken for cultivation without restriction.
As he surveyed the pavilion, he quickly noticed a clear pattern. Although there were martial arts of various elental attributes, the majority were lightning based techniques. From offensive arts to body tempering thods, lightning seed to dominate the collection.
"So Heaven Mandate Peak specializes in lightning," Li Yun murmured with a faint smile.
He had only recently begun cultivating the lightning attributed Overlord Thunder Scripture, which he had obtained from his father’s storage ring. Discovering such an abundance of lightning techniques felt like a fortunate coincidence.
After carefully reviewing the available lightning arts, Li Yun selected the one that suited him best.
It was a mid grade Profound Rank martial art called Lightning Armant Hand. Since he already possessed the low grade Profound Rank technique Dominant Thunder Palm, this new technique would complent his existing foundation well.
In addition to Lightning Armant Hand, Li Yun chose two other mid grade Profound Rank martial arts. The first was a movent technique known as Raging Wind Tiger Art, which emphasized explosive bursts of speed and agile footwork. The second was a fla attributed defensive technique called Crimson Lotus Fla Art. Although it was also a mid grade Profound Rank martial art, its focus lay in protection rather than offense.
Originally, Li Yun had hoped to obtain Heaven Mandate Peak’s supre secret technique, the Heavenly Lightning Codex. However, after thoroughly searching the entire pavilion, he found no trace of it. It was likely kept elsewhere under tighter control.
With a quiet sigh, he set aside the thought. Considering the Heaven Mandate Peak Head’s high regard for him, it was only a matter of ti before that technique would be entrusted to him. There was no need to rush.
The last thing he then took was two cultivation arts of wind and fla elents. Both of them were at the top grade profound rank cultivation art.
He did look for a five elental cultivation art but couldn’t find any and so he left without it.
...
After stepping out of the Martial Arts Pavilion of Heaven Mandate Peak, Li Yun did not imdiately return to his assigned residence. Instead, he wandered through the mountain paths of Heaven Mandate Peak, searching for a secluded location suitable for long term cultivation.
The peak was vast and quiet. Ancient trees towered overhead, their branches swaying gently in the mountain wind. Streams flowed through hidden valleys, and the distant cries of spirit birds echoed faintly in the air. The further he walked toward the back mountain, the more tranquil the surroundings beca.
At last, he found a solitary cliff overlooking a sea of rolling clouds. The wind carried a cool, refreshing chill, and the area was free from the disturbance of other disciples. It was an ideal place for closed door cultivation.
Li Yun stood at the edge of the cliff and exhaled slowly, his gaze steady.
"Alright," he murmured to himself. "It is ti to review all the system notifications."

"Excellent."
Li Yun nodded, unable to conceal his excitent as he saw how many missions had been marked as completed. The system interface shimred faintly before his eyes. After scanning through the list, he noticed that only three missions remained unfinished.
The first was to find and reunite with his parents. He knew that this would not be accomplished anyti soon. The second required him to refine a perfect grade Qi Gathering Pill, which would demand both skill and patience. The third was the newly issued task to claim first place in the Four Peaks Tournant within half a year.
A faint smile curved across his lips.
Without delay, he turned his attention to the martial arts he had just received as rewards.
The first was the Heavenstorm Blazing Fist Art, granted as a reward to him upon joining Martial Ascension Gate.
The mont he examined its details, his eyes lit up.
"This fist art feels as though it was designed specifically for ."
The Heavenstorm Blazing Fist Art required the integration of three elents, wind, lightning, and fla, in order to unleash its full power. Few cultivators could et such demanding conditions. Yet Li Yun happened to cultivate wind, fla, and lightning techniques simultaneously. For him, the requirents were not a burden but a perfect match.
"It seems the system does not distribute rewards randomly," Li Yun murmured thoughtfully. "It chooses what suits best."
He then shifted his focus to the second martial art he had obtained.
Overlord Sword Art.
It was classified as a mid grade Profound Rank sword technique. However, according to the information transmitted directly into his mind, if the art were comprehended to the stage of true aning, its power could rival high grade or even top grade Profound Rank sword arts.
Li Yun’s expression brightened further.
"I was lacking a truly formidable sword technique. This fills that gap perfectly."
Satisfied, he closed the system interface and sat cross legged upon the cliff. The wind stirred gently around him as he reached into his storage pouch and withdrew the martial dao sacred fruit.
The fruit was crystal clear, its surface engraved with faint and mysterious patterns that seed to pulse with subtle rhythm.
"Let us see how remarkable you truly are," Li Yun whispered, his eyes gleaming as he held the fruit before him.
