Chapter 342: Triple Blood Burning
Is it truly the great power of "granting life and death"?
But if it's completely like this, wouldn't it oppress each sect too harshly?
Will the Holy Sect gather all the superior resources into their own hands, causing other inheritances to become increasingly destitute?
"What do you think the other two Heavenly Sects are for, if not to balance the Kunxu Saint Sect?"
Lord Taishan paused, "Of course, the Heavenly Sects can balance the Holy Sect not through combat power, but through the Upper Realm."
"Upper Realm?"
Chen Sansi asked, "Senior Mu, do you mean the world with more abundant Spiritual Energy after the legendary Divinity Transformation? Do the people from the Upper Realm still maintain contact with the Lower Realm?"
"It is said that to maintain the Human Race's Dao Fortune, the True Immortals of the Upper Realm have set a series of rules for cultivators in the Lower Realm."
Mu Chutai burped, "For example, among the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects, one must not use strength to bully the weak, deliberately suppress lower sects, nor can they slaughter any contemporary genius in any sect without reason.
"But this is all nonsense. If they are determined to kill someone, the Upper Realm is 'far away from heaven, and the emperor is far,' they might not really control the people and affairs below."
Chen Sansi asked again, "Has there ever been an instance of an Immortal descending to the Lower Realm, has Senior Mu ever seen it?"
The legend of Immortals is mysterious beyond profound.
Nascent Soul Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators are as different as clouds and mud.
Then what kind of sky-piercing skills would a true Immortal have?
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Lord Taishan exhaled a heavy wine-scented breath, "Those are all matters of the past.
"Not talking about this, aren't you interested in learning survival skills?"
He suddenly seemed like a different person, raising his eyebrows and said, "Let me tell you, I have a fast-learning Escape Skill here; as long as you can learn it, even Golden Core Cultivators might not be able to catch up with you.
"However..."
At this point, Lord Taishan embraced his wine gourd and was unwilling to continue.
Chen Sansi understood the hint: "If Senior needs any help from me, feel free to say it."
Lord Taishan opened one eye and boastfully voiced his demands.
Things like Spirit Stones are still fine; it was just that one request left Chen Sansi somewhat puzzled.
The other party said he wanted a thousand-year-old "Light Bamboo Leaf."
Such a thing as Light Bamboo Leaf is mostly aimed at Qi Refining cultivators, and usually, it's only necessary to have a vintage of fifty to a hundred years.
Even a millennium-old Light Bamboo Leaf's purpose is merely to enhance a Qi Refining cultivator's cultivation speed.
Using the Emperor's Breath Soil to cultivate such a thing is simply a waste.
"Can you find it for me?!"
Lord Taishan said impatiently, "Do it if you can, if not, get out."
"This disciple can ask Elder Yuling for help."
Chen Sansi needed another favor, so he could only agree.
Mu Chutai was finally satisfied, putting away the wine gourd, he propped himself up against the wall and stood up, clearing his throat:
"Don't worry, kid, as your teacher, I won't let you suffer losses.
"The Sky Control Technique I am going to teach you was transformed by me from a Demon Path Magic, which I call the 'Blood Burning Technique.'
"As the name implies, it enhances sky control speed by burning Essence Blood. I've once escaped a hundred Baili in an instant, whether it's for survival or chasing an enemy, it's an excellent method.
"Next, I will recite the mantra, you listen and remember.
"The Heart Follows Qi, Dantian like a furnace!"
"..."
Chen Sansi sat upright, imitating the other's hand gestures while circulating mana within his body according to the mantra.
Just as he was fully immersed in it, Lord Taishan suddenly said coldly, "What's the next sentence?"
Chen Sansi hesitated, not understanding what he meant.
Mu Chutai raised his voice, "I'm asking you, what's the next sentence!"
"..."
Chen Sansi replied, "Junior doesn't know."
"Don't know?"
Lord Taishan paced around Gui Qi's disciple with hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and scolded, "If you don't know, can't you guess? If you can't guess, can't you make it up?!"
"Make it up?"
Chen Sansi said softly, "Senior wants me to guess the rest of this Blood Burning Technique, like before when I cultivated the Dragon Scripture?"
"Nonsense, what else?"
Lord Taishan made a gesture as if to hit him, "Stop dilly-dallying here, there are several Fairies waiting for me upstairs, hurry up and do as I say!"
Chen Sansi held his breath, his mind recalling all the Sky Control Techniques he had come in contact with since he began cultivation, including various Martial Arts Qinggong, summarized and compiled their patterns, and then linked them with the mantra Lord Taishan said, trying to create the next line himself.
"Nonsense."
Mu Chutai snorted derisively, "The second sentence is, 'All Phenomena First Open, Blood Refining as Dao!'
"Then I ask you, what's the third sentence?"
Chen Sansi seriously contemplated again.
"Only got two words right out of eight!"
Mu Chutai rejected again, "The third line of the mantra is, 'Return to Roots, Reclaim Life, Flames Return to Origin!'
"Come on, fourth sentence!"
"..."
"Not right!"
"..."
"This time, only got one word right!"
"..."
And so it repeated.
Lord Taishan deliberately had Chen Sansi guess himself until he imparted the last line of the cultivation technique.
"Blood Burning Technique, fully reveals True Yuan!
"Even this you couldn't guess, I see you're just like a piece of wood, no better than those old useless ones!"
No matter how he scolded or hit, Chen Sansi felt no displeasure.
Because Lord Taishan's method...
Truly effective!
[Skill: Reading (Great Success)]
[Progress: 401/2000]
After achieving Great Success in [Reading], the progress had been very slow, Chen Sansi thought he needed to peruse a great deal of esoteric ancient texts, but later discovered that every time he attempted to deduce cultivation techniques, the proficiency would actually increase faster.
So-called "Reading," after reaching a certain level, is no longer limited to literal meaning.
