Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 85: Chapter 82: Dominating the World, Heaven and Earth Stealing Fortune (5k-word Chapter)_3

After all, to nurture such an outstanding young man, the power behind him is naturally not to be underestimated.

”Could it be... my grudge over my severed finger just ends like this?” Xiong Qianxing gritted his teeth, looking at his severed finger, his eyes glinting with hatred.

”Your skills are not as good as others; this is a lesson.” Xiong Qianshan said in a deep voice.

”With that person’s means, you’re already lucky to keep your life.”

”How many times have I said, our generation in cultivation must avoid being overly courageous and combative, for this is the agitation of the consciousness... You already violated the prohibition by coveting the Ghost Gate Divine Needle, and now you bear resentment after receiving a lesson?”

Xiong Qianshan shook his head, looking at his incompetent younger brother.

”Your severed finger... I’ll use the Ghost Bone Technique to help you reattach it later... However, both of you must be punished, go to the Ghost Pool for three days.”

Upon hearing this, both Xiong Qianxing and Ming Chenxuan turned pale, especially at the mention of the Ghost Pool, their faces drained of color.

”Brother...”

”Five days.”

With Xiong Qianshan’s command, the two dared not say another word.

...

The next day, before dawn broke, Zhang Fan left his home and departed from Hongfu Garden.

Lately, his sleep time was getting shorter and shorter, especially yesterday, the information on that note kept him up all night, even the sleeping pills left by Zhang Lingzong were of no use.

”Great Night is not bright, Evil Gods can be resolved...”

These eight words alone left Zhang Fan at a loss.

”I really hate riddles, damn it!”

Zhang Fan cursed as he felt somewhat agitated, especially since he couldn’t get in touch with Zhang Lingzong recently.

Since he couldn’t sleep, he might as well take a walk in the East Suburban Cemetery.

The Northern Emperor Technique he was cultivating was precisely a skill of refining Yin into Evil, requiring the collection of Profound Yin Qi and refining the path of slaughter.

Since Zhang Fan stepped into the Technique Apprentice level, his cultivation advanced rapidly, his True Yang grew abundant daily, his Primordial Spirit became increasingly strong, already showing the aspect of brow radiance.

This is the mark of a Technique Apprentice’s great success. Such speed made Zhang Fan feel a bit incredulous, thinking could he actually be a cultivation prodigy, improving even in sleep?!

At this point, he only needed to proceed step by step to master twelve Small Skills to be granted the rank of Profound Master.

He was getting closer and closer to High Skill.

Now besides mastering the Celestial Pig Fang from the Northern Emperor Technique, after returning from the Shen Family on Zijin Mountain, he also comprehended the Mountain-Breaking Prison-Suppressing Talisman, which suddenly appeared in his mind, also considered a skill.

In addition, after his duel with Cao Wushang from the White Crane Temple, he inexplicably comprehended the opponent’s skill, Grand Sect Law, Appearance and Spirit Divergence...

As for why he could comprehend such a technique, Zhang Fan couldn’t figure it out.

On that day, Zhang Fan used this method to enter Jiang Hu’s Primordial Spirit Inner Scenery, pulling him back from the brink of the Great Night tribulation.

Calculating like this, Zhang Fan had stepped into the Technique Apprentice level for less than a month and already mastered three skills, all of great power and not to be spread secrets.

Of course, he spent the most effort on the Northern Emperor Technique.

This technique is reputed as the first slaughter technique of the Daoist Sect, if mastered, the divine might be vast, not beneath Xia Weisheng’s Five Thunders Righteous Method.

Naturally, Zhang Fan had to put more effort into it.

...

At the East Suburban Cemetery, usually, even in broad daylight, there were few people, not to mention now before dawn, not a ghost in sight.

”Celestial Pig, Celestial Pig, Nine Elements Evil Child.”

”Wuding Commander, Gao Diao Bei Weng.”

...

Zhang Fan reached the center of the cemetery, sat down and began to meditate, reciting the Celestial Pig Divine Curse, the foundation of the Northern Emperor Technique. Reciting this curse, one can borrow the power of the Celestial Pig General to subdue all demons, dispel evil monsters, cleanse all impurities, and ensure purity and solemnity.

Reciting the curse, refining Yin into Evil, forming mystical hand seals, visualizing the Dharma Aspect of the Celestial Pig True Monarch, it can manifest various mysterious phenomena, eventually transforming into the Celestial Pig True Monarch, evoking vast divine might.

Just like now, Zhang Fan had only mastered the Celestial Pig Fang, besides that, there were the Three Evil Skulls, Six Divine Arms, Celestial Pig Seal, Celestial Pig Ruler, Celestial Pig Bell, and other skills.

Every time one is mastered, a Dharma Aspect appears. Once all of them are mastered, the aspect of the Celestial Pig True Monarch appears, subduing all demons, terrifying all monsters.

Buzz...

Zhang Fan operated the technique, collecting Profound Yin Qi, refining it with the True Yang within his body, Yin and Yang melting, suddenly forming Evil, a surge of slaughtering aura rose abruptly, the shadow of the Celestial Pig Fang manifested on his shoulder, its sharpness revealed, unusually ferocious.

By now, the power of this skill in his hands was no longer what it used to be.

”Hmm!?”

At this time, Zhang Fan stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, discovering that within a five-kilometer radius, a wisp of Yin Qi was actually pouring in another direction.

”Someone else is collecting Profound Yin Qi?”

Zhang Fan thought deeply; not many sects in the Daoist Sect are proficient in the method of collecting and refining Yin.

Immediately, he used Primordial Spirit Observation to follow that wisp of Yin Qi.

At a corner of the cemetery, a young man sat cross-legged, surrounded by white candles, with a red candle in front of him. His hands formed seals, chanting words, the scattered Yin Qi gathering toward his forehead.

”Profound Yin Divine Illumination Technique!?” Zhang Fan recognized the flickering candlelight at a glance.

He had seen it in the Dao Secret Record; it was a technique of the Yin Mountain Sect to cultivate the Primordial Spirit, collecting Profound Yin Qi, Taiyin Returning to True Yang, giving rise to a wisp of Yang Qi within extreme Yin, tempering the Primordial Spirit.

The red candle represented the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit.

”Is this kid a disciple of the Yin Mountain Sect?” Zhang Fan observed from the shadows.

The youth trembled all over, tears even glinting at the corners of his eyes. He chanted continuously, not Daoist curses but...

”I’m not afraid... I’m not afraid, as long as I’m not afraid, nothing can scare me...” Xiong Ba said with great determination.

Since some days ago, his master Gu Yuming engaged in magical combat with someone, his physical body exploded by a short-haired girl, turning him completely into a vegetable.

Back then, Xiong Ba knew he had to grow up, only by facing fear could he live up to the earnest expectations of his master, who would never awaken.

”I... I can do it... there’s... no such thing as ghosts in this world...”

Xiong Ba, as if possessed, continually comforted himself, giving himself various psychological suggestions, even as a sparkling tear unwillingly fell from the corner of his eye, unsure if he was touched by himself or scared...

”What... what is this!?”

From a distance, Zhang Fan watched the scene before him, naturally revealing a bewildered expression.
