Chapter 285: 32: Cutting the Dragon Immortal from Afar, the Misfortune of Du Ya l s Change
Zhao Huai held a golden bronze coin, divining each jade slip on the shelves one by one.
This sea of books contained a large number of Divine Skills, but through the descriptions of the techniques, he could only choose one to remember.
Ordinary skills recorded on paper can last for many years, depending on luck. As they erode over the long years and are affected by wars and human misfortunes, they may be lost or destroyed.
Therefore, using texts as a medium is not suitable for long-term storage. Only by using spiritual power as a medium and storing it in the mind can one accurately and comprehensively access them.
These jade slips were all of top-quality Nurturing Spirit Jade, capable of storing the spiritual power memories of some cultivators, achieving the effect of inheritance, and having an extremely long storage time, reaching thousands to tens of thousands of years, commonly referred to as Unwritten Texts.
However, there is no doubt that such Nurturing Spirit Jades are of high value. The rarer the cultivation technique, the more matching the content of the text will be passed down, like how an Emperor would not use a wooden box to hold the imperial jade seal.
Zhao Huai looked through each of the techniques one by one, becoming more and more astonished.
He had not known that the Yan Sheng Mansion, which acted as the epitome of studying ancient magical skills and secret arts, stored not only an extraordinary quantity but also a high-quality collection of cultivation techniques.
Ordinary sects often have hidden secrets that they don’t pass on, many effects being kept secret, with numerous complicated rules, such as only passing on to True Disciples, passing from men to men but not from women, or passing from women to women but not from men. But here, there are no such restrictions.
For one thing, this place is recognized by Spiritual Mountains as the Scripture Pavilion, which is very difficult to enter. Second, a large number of cultivation techniques originate either from sects that have already declined or vanished, or from cultivation techniques that have been cracked and deciphered, or from ancient books deduced by the Yan Sheng Mansion.
Existing sects in the world, if they find that their own techniques have been collected by the Yan Sheng Mansion, can do nothing about it. Regarding reputation, no sect has as big a name as the Yan Sheng Mansion, and no sect is as formidable regarding strength. The Yan Sheng Mansion is protected by the Five Immortal Sects, so it is extremely difficult for any sect to settle any grievances.
If they had to blame anyone, the sects would blame themselves for not doing a good enough job in keeping their secrets, and for their leaked techniques not being profound enough, which allowed the Yan Sheng Mansion to decipher them.
[Hexagram One: The mountain is not in the height; it has immortals, hence it is famous. The water is not deep; it has dragons, hence it is spiritual. Practice this Divine Skill, and the indication you will receive is “Favorable Fortune.”]
After searching for a long time, Zhao Huai finally found a technique that matched his needs.
He picked up the smooth Nurturing Spirit Jade slip and began to look at the name of the technique.
“Dragon Slaying Immortal Skill…”
This name sounded like an Immortal Skill.
Astonishment shone in Zhao Huai’s eyes.
It is well known that any single Immortal Skill is an outstanding presence in the Immortal Cultivation World, and over 80% of sects do not have any Immortal Skill inheritance. Only sects with a long history and ancestors who are knowledgeable about ancient times can obtain an Immortal’s inherited technique.
“This Immortal Skill was first comprehended on the Sky Dragon Killing Platform, its sword technique reaching the sky. The sword qi is like clouds hanging from the heavens, capable of slaying True Dragons and demons and monsters. At the realm of perfection, its sword momentum does not dissipate, pouring down and cutting through ghosts and gods effortlessly.”
Zhao Huai clicked his tongue in amazement; this was indeed an extremely powerful technique.
It can actually slay True Dragons above 100,000.
It is important to remember that True Dragons are the product of the gathered qi of the world. They gather the profound qi of heaven and earth over thousands and tens of thousands of years, making them divine beasts blessed by the Heavenly Power.
The Demon Race regards them as ancestors as well.
Even the black dragon trapped in Zhao Huai’s small world cannot be considered a real True Dragon.
It is a dragon, but not a True Dragon.
The flowing qi gathered in the body of a True Dragon can enable people to soar into the sky, whether it is a human opportunity or an Immortal’s Cave and
Blessed Land. None of these compare to even one ten-thousandth of a True Dragon’s qi, which is why people like to slay dragons – to seize their qi.
This Dragon Slaying Immortal Skill, capable of slaying the divine objects protected by Heaven and Earth, showcases its power.
As a result, Zhao Huai subconsciously searched for the founder of this Immortal Skill.
“This Divine Skill was first used by the Dragon Slaying True Immortal 1,500 years ago when a demonic dragon descended to the human world, causing disasters and havoc, flooding rivers and seas, and slaughtering living beings. Therefore, the Dragon Slaying Immortal descended to the human world and condensed his magnificent Heavenly Power. From ten thousand li away, he struck the demonic dragon with a single sword. The demonic dragon died, scattering its qi to Heaven and Earth, and all living beings were blessed by it.”
Concentrated on the Immortal Skill, Zhao Huai made up his mind and decided on this skill.
Having the Dragon Slaying Immortal Skill would be a great complement to his current lack of offensive sword techniques.
Zhao Huai’s spiritual power officially entered the jade slip and began to examine the content of the Dragon Slaying Immortal Skill.
One after another, astonishing sword technique diagrams appeared in front of him as if they were arranging formations, with human shadows wielding sword techniques on each chart.
The movements were precise and the techniques were distinct.
The scene was like ink-splashed paintings, flowing along the water.
Within the sea of clouds, a ten-thousand-meter-long demonic dragon emerged, smashing mountains and rivers, and its roar echoing through Heaven and Earth.
In a flash, the sky was illuminated, and a vast sword qi broke through the clouds. In the midst of the vast sea of clouds, an immortal stood proudly, looking down on the demonic dragon. This scene was no different from that of a deity.
Zhao Huai’s eyes sparkled with extraordinary brilliance as his spiritual power circulated in his mind, digesting the content of the Immortal Skill.
His comprehension could be said to be top-notch, and under the double-boost of the [Heavenly Heart Wisdom Eyes] and [Human Immortal Body], there was virtually no cultivation technique he could not learn, including Immortal Skills.
A divine light appeared before Zhao Huai’s eyes, and he reached out his hand.
In an instant, shiny spiritual qi gathered and flowed around his hand.
His sword momentum gradually increased, and the six rusty immortal swords also began to tremble, clearly influenced by Zhao Huai’s sword momentum.
Zhao Huai had reviewed these six Immortal Swords before.
He discovered that, even though these Immortal Swords had recognized him as their master, he still found it quite forced to use and control the six powerful swords simultaneously..
