A Secret Manual shot out from the Crystal Pillar.
But unlike the other Cultivation Techniques, it didn't fly in a fixed direction. Instead, it hovered in the void for a good while.
The entire Secret Manual suddenly trembled, as if it sensed something, and transformed into a streak of black light that rushed toward Hong Yu.
"Hm?"
'This Secret Manual can actually choose its own master?'
'This is an incredibly rare treasure. I have to seize it!'
Seeing this, the other experts all revealed greedy expressions.
Ordinary Secret Cultivation Technique Manuals were just inanimate objects made of paper, completely incapable of having any subjective will. Whoever snatched one, it was theirs!
But according to legend, some sufficiently advanced Secret Cultivation Technique Manuals could develop sentience.
The weaker ones would know how to choose their own master!
