Chapter 695 - - 533 catch a sheep and shear it to death_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Sensing that Duge’s meridians had finally stabilized, Elder Daoming breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his Spiritual Energy, “Young friend, it’s working. Calm down, don’t rush, slowly get used to the new cultivation route…”

But before he could finish, a new surge of Spiritual Power began to riot within Duge’s body—Duge had once again incorporated the “Returning Yuan Daoist Method” on top of the existing cultivation route.

Daoming’s voice halted abruptly. Being well-experienced, he instantly felt the change in Duge’s cultivation route and urgently said, “Young friend, what are you doing? Stop at once! Your foundational Cultivation Technique is already set; changing to practice another technique will render the previous efforts useless, and, in severe cases, may lead to a catastrophic loss of control.”

“Elder, I was rash. But the ‘Mixed Yuan Limitless Power’ might be conflicting with my meridians; every time I cultivate, I feel pain all over my body. I had no choice but to change the technique. Please lend me your strength again,” Duge urged, coming up with an excuse in his intense anxiety.

Seeing that the new Cultivation Technique was clearly faster than the “Nine Revolutions Universe Skill,” Duge surely wouldn’t leave this free labor idle now that his idea proved workable.

Relying on his own to absorb Spiritual Energy from the outside world was too slow. What Duge lacked the most was always time, and Elder Daoming’s refined Spiritual Energy was more convenient and more concentrated and pure.

Elder Daoming hesitated for a moment and then transmitted his Spiritual Energy again, “Young friend, if the Returning Yuan Daoist Method is still not suitable, you can stop now, and let this old man personally select a technique for you…”

Duge did not respond, focusing on dealing with the chaotic Divine Power and meridians inside him.

Elder Daoming sighed, concentrating on providing support from outside, acting as a large-scale “fuel pump.”

Soon, Duge mastered the “Returning Yuan Daoist Method,” but before Elder Daoming could catch his breath, Duge began the new round of integrating three techniques…

At that moment, Elder Daoming finally realized something was wrong and asked in horror, “Young friend, what are you doing?”

Elder, you’ve seen through," said Duge weakly with a smile. “I’m trying to merge five techniques into one. If successful, it will be a Cultivation Method unique to me. Then, helping you repair your Daoist Base will be a breeze.”

Are you insane?" Elder Daoming’s complexion changed dramatically, and he urged urgently, “Stop now! Throughout history, no one has been able to accommodate all techniques. If you continue, you will destroy your very foundation.”

“Elder, I can’t stop now,” Duge looked up at Dao Ming, explaining, “The cultivation routes within me are now unrecognizable from the changes I’ve made. Stopping now would mean all efforts are in vain. Elder, do you still have any of those elixirs? Give me one more. If I succeed, a generous reward is certain.”

“You’re mad, truly mad,” Elder Daoming shook his head desperately. The events of this single day were more than he had experienced in a lifetime. Staring straight at Duge, he finally understood why Duge didn’t let him choose the technique.

It turns out, this fellow intended to practice all five techniques from the start.

If he had disclosed his intentions earlier, Elder Daoming certainly would not have agreed to such an absurd method.

Elder Daoming’s eyes were bloodshot as if he had already seen the hope of repairing his Daoist Base floating away. In sorrow, he looked at Duge with a plea in his eyes, “Young friend, please stop, I am begging you, stop now, you will ruin yourself.”

Elder Daoming, how can we know if we don’t try?" Duge smiled with difficulty, “I’ve already integrated three techniques, and with two more, I will succeed.

Elder, I am an Innate Water Spirit, different from your humans. One must be ruthless to stand firm; true cruelty is being harsh on oneself.

This is my tribulation. Helping me through this will qualify me to assist you in repairing your meridians, and then both of us will have a bright future.

Otherwise, with an ordinary technique, it would take me decades to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, or perhaps a hundred years to achieve Void Refinement and Integration Dao. I can wait, Elder, but can you?”

Come, Elder, do not spare your elixirs and Spiritual Energy for the sake of our future, for your meridians, let’s gamble on it…"

So, you’re still considering my well-being after all, right!

Elder Daoming was left speechless.

But undeniably, Duge was right—he truly couldn’t wait. Even before, he had planned that once Duge chose a technique, he would hasten his cultivation with various elixirs, forcibly increasing his power.

His foundation had been severely damaged, and Elder Daoming didn’t believe that reaching the Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul Realm would be enough to fully repair it…

Let it be," sighed Elder Daoming, and he took out two more elixirs, “Young friend, since you have made up your mind, I will go all out to assist you.

Here are two Immortal Pills. One is a Calming Heart Pill, to protect your heart meridian; the other is a Returning Yuan Pill, to help you organize the Spiritual Power within your body and nourish it. After swallowing both pills, if you find it not workable, remember to stop in time. Your own life is the most important thing.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

Duge swallowed two elixirs and sincerely thanked his benefactor.

By now, he had integrated the “Returning Yuan Daoist Method” and had begun to cultivate the “All Phenomena Heart Method.”

Watching the frenzied Duge, Elder Dao Ming felt helpless and could only continue to maintain the output of Spiritual Power. But as Duge kept changing his cultivation techniques, he began to feel that the rate at which he was transferring Spiritual Power was a bit too fierce.

Duge’s body was like a bottomless pit, gulping down his Spiritual Power in huge mouthfuls.

Having no choice, he also stuffed an elixir into his mouth to recover his rapidly depleting Spiritual Power.

At Elder Dao Ming’s realm, ordinary elixirs were barely effective for him any longer.

Over the years, he had not accumulated many Immortal Pills, and now he had used up several at once, making his heart bleed.

At this moment, Elder Dao Ming could no longer stop, the situation had progressed to this point. If he did not help Duge, he would definitely not succeed, and by then, he would have lost not just a favor but also his elixirs.

For an instant, Elder Dao Ming even felt like he had been duped.

But after pondering, he could not believe that a monster who had just transformed could have schemed so thoroughly; everything he encountered seemed more like a momentary whim of a devil-may-care monster…

Alas!

Elder Dao Ming sighed, gathered his scattered thoughts, and focused on assisting Duge with his cultivation.

Creating karma! Opportunities for fortune aren’t so easily obtained; this must also be a tribulation for him!

…

Duge felt that after the successful integration of the three cultivation techniques, his Golden Core’s rotation speed noticeably increased.

And his Golden Core was expanding as well.

This directly led to a sharp increase in the demand for Spiritual Energy. Without Dao Ming by his side to charge him, relying on his own absorption of the surrounding Spiritual Energy, he would never have been able to integrate the cultivation techniques so quickly.

Moreover, there were Immortal Pills inside him helping with his recovery…

Elder Dao Ming, what a good person!

Actually, if it weren’t for the Immortal Pills provided by Elder Dao Ming, Duge had already planned to let Elder Dao Ming make the ultimate sacrifice when he could no longer repair his meridians, allowing himself to become ferocious for once.

After all, it was only with the matching keyword ‘injury’ that he would recover.

Whether it’s persuasion or ferocity, the effect only occurs in the present continuous. During cultivation, persuasion is obviously a bit too strenuous, whereas ferocity was just right…

For his own recovery, Elder Dao Ming surely wouldn’t be stingy with his sacrifice.

With Immortal Pills, it saved him the trouble of playing the villain.

However.

This Alien Battlefield really had some great stuff!

Cultivation techniques, Immortal Pills, spiritual power that was skyrocketing…

If other Alien Battlefields brought nothing but despair to Duge, this Alien Battlefield truly gave him hope of fleeing or overcoming Pan-Universe Entertainment.

Especially since he exposed three types of Divine Power and yet was not punished by Pan-Universe Entertainment, and even received a reward of spiritual power, it was an unexpected delight.

In this Alien Battlefield, his luck was incredibly good.
