Apocalypse I Have One More Keyword Than Others
Chapter 291 - - 289 Violent Creation Mental Method_1
—————✧✧✧✧—————
Everyone unanimously turned their gaze toward the Demon Sealing Cave.
Liu Guang looked at the Heavenly Master’s Seal, which Duge had moved, and flew over to inspect it, then his expression suddenly changed, “Not good, the Heavenly Master’s Seal has been displaced, and the seal has loosened.”
“Haha,” a coquettish laugh continued to come through, “Little brother, move the Heavenly Master’s Seal away, and sister will help you fight the Heavenly Demon!”
“Is sister a demon or a ghost?” With his extensive experience on the battlefield, Duge was the most composed and asked impassively.
“If you want sister to be a demon, I’ll be a demon; if you want sister to be a ghost, I’ll be a ghost,” the voice said with a touch of naivety, teasing him.
“Having lived for thousands of years and still not knowing what you are, your intelligence is worse than that of a three-year-old child. Can you really help me fight the Heavenly Demon?” Duge shook his head and sighed, “And here I thought the ghostly beings sealed within the Demon Sealing Cave were formidable, but they’re nothing special after all.”
The voice inside the Demon Sealing Cave abruptly stopped.
“What a slick little Demon Head,” the voice giggled, “What does it matter if you have the verbal upper hand? In the end, you’ll still have to let me out! Better to do it quickly, move the Heavenly Master’s Seal, and you might even win some favor with me. Otherwise, once I break out on my own, I fear I won’t be able to offer you any treats…”
“Get out on your own, I’m waiting!” Duge disdainfully said, “It’s nothing but threats and temptations. Trapped for a thousand years and no progress, with such intelligence, it’s no wonder you ended up in the Demon Sealing Cave. I really shouldn’t have put my bets on you.”
"" The Demon Sealing Cave once again fell into silence.
Outside the Demon Sealing Cave.
The crowd looked toward Duge with varied thoughts, inwardly sneering that this guy really thought no one was better than him!
The keyword was prejudice, solidly confirmed.
“Little Friend Cheng, although that’s the case, the Heavenly Master’s Seal becoming loose is ultimately no trivial matter. In my opinion, we should return to the Heavenly Master Hall, summon more disciples, and reinforce the seal together,” Liu Guang said.
“No need to reinforce it,” Duge replied. “If even the Heavenly Master’s Seal can’t break it, the fellows inside must have a pretty ordinary level of cultivation. Once they break out, we’ll just subdue them and they can be put to good use as my subordinates.”
“Arrogant child.”
Suddenly, several different voices rose from the Demon Sealing Cave.
With both men and women amongst them, it seemed that they had been provoked by Duge, collectively charging at the stone gate, causing it to shake as the seals on the talismans flashed with golden light.
Startled, Liu Guang and Wu Huai’s complexions drastically changed as each took out a talisman from their robes and affixed it to the stone gate, hoping to strengthen the seal.
Unexpectedly.
They were met with the mocking laughter of several ghostly beings from the cave: “That kid’s right, the Heavenly Master Sect really is going downhill with each generation, thinking they can suppress us with mere common suppression talismans!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of Liu Guang and Wu Huai turned red with embarrassment.
Duge’s gaze swept over everyone as he naturally commanded: “Old Chen, you go chat with the demons inside the cave for a while. Two Grand Master Uncles, I would trouble you to impart the Sky Gang’s Heart Method to me. Ziqing, you and the others return to the Heavenly Master Sect and prepare some talisman-drawing materials for me. Keep an eye on any news from the special affairs bureau, and contact me immediately if there’s any movement there…”
Chen Ziyong, already impressed by Duge, did not hesitate to approach the Demon Sealing Cave’s entrance: “The sister who spoke just now, your voice is really nice. Before coming here, I didn’t know what it was to be moved, but upon hearing your voice, it was like a spring breeze opening my heart…”
"" The Demon Sealing Cave once again fell into silence. After one brat showed complete disenchantment, here came another, sweet-talking at the mouth of the cave. Are the people of the later generations all this crazy?
Zhang Ziqing and the others were already accustomed to Chen Ziyong’s love talk and nodded to Duge, each taking their leave.
Liu Guang and the others gave Chen Ziyong a puzzled glance before turning back to Duge, saying, “Little Friend Cheng, I know you are eager, but mixing cultivation techniques carelessly is not advisable. Sheng Wenhua was amazingly talented, but because he fancied impossible ideas, solely cultivating the methods from Dragon Tiger Mountain, he could have reached the Golden Core stage. Instead, he rashly integrated the techniques from various sects and ended up with his body destroyed and path extinguished.”
“Grand Master Uncle, just pass it on to me with ease. I have integrated all meridians, unlike him,” Duge said with a smile. “If there is one person in this world who can integrate the techniques from all sects, it must undoubtedly be me.”
“You really want to learn?” Liu Guang asked.
“Absolutely,” Duge replied with a light chuckle. “I want to show those clueless beings in the cave what a true genius looks like…”
“You really are arrogant!” Chen Ziyong’s flowery talk could not cover up the fury of the people in the cave as the woman’s voice rang out again, “Let’s all rush the gate together; once we’re free, we’ll first use that conceited brat as a sacrifice, then go play around with the Heavenly Master Sect. Nowadays, the Heavenly Master Sect doesn’t even have a Golden Core True Man, it’s time for our vengeance…”
“Not daring to cause trouble at the Heavenly Master Sect unless there’s no Golden Core True Man, that’s all the courage you’ve got, no wonder I look down on you!” Duge’s voice interrupted her at just the right moment. With his ‘Breaking Defense’ ridicule, he once again incensed her into shrieks.
“Boy, you are doomed, no one can save you,” the female voice inside the Demon Sealing Cave suddenly turned cold, “The boy at the gate, step aside later to avoid injury from sister’s mistaking you. Your words are pleasing to the ear, and I plan to keep you by my side, offering you a life of glory and wealth…”
"" Chen Ziyong paused, wondering if this was the correct way to make a confession?
Therefore.
His words of affection became even more earnest, particularly focusing on the woman who had been speaking. He wanted to see if continuously confessing to one person could lead to a qualitative change, perhaps sparking a new skill.
Meanwhile, Duge, who had drawn everyone’s ire, fell silent and concentrated on receiving the knowledge imparted to him by Liu Guang.
Previously, he feared complications and didn’t intend to practice two cultivation methods at the same time, but after fighting with Liu Guang and Wu Huai.
Duge realized his deficiencies and decided to take the risk after all. In this world, he lacked overpowering skills like ‘Plucking Feathers in Passing,’ and his three awakened skills were all aimed at the human heart and didn’t much benefit combat.
To enhance his combat abilities, he had to increase his cultivation level.
Moreover, this was Duge's first battle against demons and monsters, against a millennia-old ghost, who knows what secret moves it could have hidden? Should he capsize in the gutter, his efforts from the past few days would have been in vain.
After much deliberation, he concluded that the only way to break through was to simultaneously cultivate two techniques.
In Sheng Wenhua's story, he obtained the techniques from three sects, practiced them for three years, and afterward, he swept through half of the Cultivation World.
Duge felt he would not need three years.
But as the flow of the "Sky Gang's Heart Method" entered his body under Liu Guang's guidance, Duge immediately felt a severe discomfort---his "Spirit Condensing Jue" had been autonomously operating all this time.
The path of the "Sky Gang's Heart Method" was completely different from the "Spirit Condensing Jue," with some meridians overlapping but also following some distinct ones.
The spiritual power generated by different mental methods also differed in nature.
Running two different mental methods at the same time was like two different armies colliding within the body, each vying for territory without yielding to the other.
Since Duge had already been cultivating his "Spirit Condensing Jue" for two days, his spiritual power was robust. The spiritual power introduced by the "Sky Gang's Heart Method" was instantly overwhelmed upon encounter, and with the collision of spiritual power, the meridians bore the brunt of the impact.
The meridians felt as if they were being scraped by a steel knife, breaking inch by inch, and along with the ruptured meridians, uncontrollable spiritual power surged into his limbs and body, tearing apart Duge's internal organs and muscles...
This pain was unprecedented.
Unable to bear it, Duge cried out in pain, and his skin began to bead with fine droplets of blood.
Liu Guang was the first to sense the situation within Duge's body. His hand quickly left the top of Duge's head, and he anxiously said, "Little Friend Cheng, your meridians are injured, stop your cultivation immediately! Sheng Wenhua merged the three sects' techniques after meticulous deductions, it's not something you can brute-force...
"Brute-force cultivation, that's all it takes," a mocking voice came from the Demon Sealing Cave, "It looks like we don't need to lift a finger, and you won't last much longer."
Duge's resilience continued to take effect.
The meridians broke quickly but also repaired quickly, and as the spiritual power that rushed through the broken meridians and wreaked havoc in the flesh healed, it eerily merged with his body.
Duge was astonished by this discovery, and, bearing the pain, he divided his attention and once again simultaneously ran both cultivation techniques. Spiritual power originated from within, and the tearing sensation returned.
After several cycles,
his internal organs, muscles, and bones were crammed with spiritual power, making his entire body feel much lighter.
Most importantly, during the constant cycle of tearing and repairing, the meridians eventually withstood the impact of both mental methods, becoming much stronger and resilient, no longer breaking apart.
Moreover, amidst the tearing and splitting of the meridians, the two types of spiritual power intertwined, surprisingly forming a new type of ability with its own properties and forcibly creating a new cultivation path within his body.
Nor was it the "Sky Gang's Heart Method."
The new cultivation path circulated the spiritual power in a complete cycle, condensing a spiritual force that was at least ten times stronger than before.
Duge slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Success."
As he spoke,
he raised his hand and released a Lightning of Palm.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning, several times thicker than before, struck the pavilion where the two had been playing chess, shattering the wooden pavilion instantly.
Liu Guang and Wu Huai were dumbfounded, "How... How is this possible?"
Inside the Demon Sealing Cave, all was silent.
"I've always said, if there's one person in the world who could merge the techniques of various sects, it would be none other than me," Duge laughed and looked at Liu and Wu, "Both of you Grand Master Uncles, can now feel the new cultivation path in my body; it may be of some help to you."
Liu Guang placed his palm on Duge's head, sensing for a while, and with a face full of surprise said, "Your meridians were clearly broken just now, how could they have healed completely again?"
"Grand Master Uncle, just feel the cultivation path, don't ask about the rest," Duge smiled, calmly cultivated, and felt the strengthening of his divine soul.
Such a violent method of cultivation could only be used by examinees, and it had to be that the attribute keywords were constantly effective.
For kinds like Gluttony, which only took effect during eating, if their meridians broke and they couldn't eat anything, they would probably end up killing themselves.
The speed of repair brought by the keywords was too fast; any native facing the conflict of two techniques at that moment would probably burst and die.
It must be said,
that Sheng Wenhua, who initially forced the merging of several techniques, was indeed a cultivating genius. The technique he developed himself only developed problems after ten years, which was quite remarkable.
