A Night of Desperation-Chapter 558: Fusion 4
Putting aside Bai Sheng’s argument, Yu Hong sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
This time, however, mere minutes into his meditation, an inexplicable heat sensation quickly spread from his right eye.
Before he could use his inner vision to check the situation,
suddenly, a half-transparent giant white tiger with twin wings appeared around him, enveloping him within.
Roar!
The twin-winged white tiger roared deeply, its countless black eyes opening and shining with purple light.
In an instant, an indescribable sense of euphoria surged from Yu Hong’s heart.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, every pore on his body opened at this moment, inhaling and exhaling the energy particles from the outside vacuum.
At this time, the Black Mark’s prompt came belatedly.
’Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill cultivation perfected, you have obtained the trait: Illusion God.’
’Illusion God (grants 50% illusion resistance, enhances illusion effect by 500% when cultivating illusion techniques)’
"This...." Yu Hong’s initial joy cooled upon seeing this trait.
"What use does this ability have? Wait!" Suddenly, his emotions soared like a roller coaster.
"Isn’t the Qingwei Heart Technique that I’ve been cultivating an illusion technique!? Directly enhancing the effect by five times? Amazing!!"
Because Lu Xian conflicted with the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill, he had initially chosen to cultivate the Qingwei Heart Technique, constantly yielding to the Chaotic God Sky Eye. Now that this martial art had finally reached its end, the newly obtained trait greatly enhanced the Qingwei Heart Technique.
Yu Hong immediately began to actively cultivate the introductory stage of the Qingwei Heart Technique. As long as he actively cultivated it once, the Dao Breath Thunder Transfer would automatically include it in the auto-cultivation range.
Then, without the Black Mark continuously integrating traits, Yu Hong went to the Book Collection Pavilion to choose a new cultivation technique.
This time, he no longer chose an ordinary Mortal Martial technique. He understood that while Mortal Martial techniques yield traits quickly, constant integration is required to achieve a useful effect.
However, higher-level techniques like the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill, once fully cultivated, yield traits far superior to ordinary ones.
Just like Illusion God, the newly obtained trait initially was almost on par with the previously integrated Giant Tiger Form.
The cost of integrating traits with the Black Mark was actually a significant hidden expense.
Selecting from the rows in the Book Collection Pavilion.
This time, Yu Hong went straight to the High Martial section.
Unlike Mortal Martial techniques, High Martial techniques are superior in power and cultivation time but not as advanced as Immortal Martial techniques.
Yu Hong prided himself on having the talent trait of an Innate Body, which greatly shortens the cultivation time, allowing him to select higher-level techniques confidently.
On the High Martial section shelves, a variety of sword techniques, stick techniques, and even unique shield skills using shields were available.
Soon, he saw the Time Splitting Sword Technique that Senior Sister Hei Ying was cultivating.
Unexpectedly, such an impressive sword technique was merely a High Martial technique...
Yu Hong picked it up and browsed through it.
’Time Splitting Sword Technique: Divides oneself into different time phases, with power fluctuating in each phase. It comprises sixteen forms;at the highest level, it can forcibly alter an enemy’s time phase, trapping them in their weakest state forever while adjusting oneself to always maintain the strongest state, freezing time at the peak strength moment.’
"Incredible." Yu Hong praised. No wonder Hei Ying’s single sword strike was so powerful;it permanently solidified her peak moment of strength.
But this sword technique was not suitable for him.
He preferred techniques that ensured safety, not these aggressive, slaying High Martial techniques.
Returning the manual, Yu Hong diverted his attention from weapon techniques.
’Although weapons can enhance power, they also pose a drawback. Once the weapon is lost, one’s strength is significantly weakened. Therefore, the best techniques are those involving fists, palm skills, and leg techniques that do not rely on external items.’
’Moreover, the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill has laid a good foundation for me. I can continue to improve by cultivating stronger eye techniques.’
Soon, his gaze settled on a row of specially categorized manuals.
"Three Elements Divine Light","Thousand Eyes Fixed Light Scripture","Soul-locking Divine Eyes","Three-Eyed Chaos Record","Heavenly Eye Skill","Nine Revolutions Void Scripture".
A total of six High Martial eye techniques were in the same category.
These few manuals, being so few in number, were combined and placed at the end section of the Secret Chapter Technique Manual area.
Yu Hong picked them up and briefly flipped through them.
Soon he understood the directions of these six High Martial eye techniques.
"Three Elements Divine Light" trains one’s gaze into a pure laser-like weapon. The drawback is the need to train with eyes closed for many years.
"Thousand Eyes Fixed Light Scripture" opens thousands of true eyes on the body, forming an array to paralyze and control enemies, rendering them immobile. It’s purely a controlling flow technique.
"Soul-locking Divine Eyes" has a similar effect but works by briefly separating an enemy’s body and soul to control them.
The remaining three techniques focus on penetrating insight, identifying enemy weak points and fatal spots.
Without much deliberation, Yu Hong chose the Three Elements Divine Light.
The Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill follows a path of destructive power;thus, further reinforcing this direction with the Three Elements Divine Light would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He tried it out, but High Martial Arts could only cultivate one technique at a time. The number of involved meridians and acupoints far exceeded Mortal Martial Arts, making simultaneous cultivation impossible.
Thus, he returned to the Black Black Spirit with the Three Elements Divine Light and began a new round of arduous cultivation.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed. The countdown for the heavy defense belt had also mostly elapsed.
But the Corrupt Traveler and Feng Xuezi still hadn’t shown up, and Yu Hong faintly felt that his Golden Core was becoming larger. Now, inside his body, it was almost as large as a watermelon.
Moreover, there were increasingly numerous faces on the surface, even starting to show some strange dynamic phenomena.
He didn’t know whether this situation was normal or abnormal. He scoured the classical books, but didn’t find anyone’s Golden Core looking like this nonsense.
Yu Hong suspected it was related to the cultivation technique he was practicing and the transplanted Outer Eye.
And there were a whole bunch of random traits that surely had a significant impact.
Just as he hesitated, planning to ask his master what was going on with his Golden Core...
A somewhat shocking piece of news came from Wanxue Palace.
The news was transmitted via Divine Sense by Senior Sister Hei Ying, and the content was... the main sect of Qinghe Mountain had really sent someone!
Inside the Black Black Spirit.
Yu Hong frowned and woke up from his cultivation, the white light on his body dissipating.
"The main sect of Qinghe Mountain has really sent someone!?" He had originally fully believed that Bai Sheng and the others were deceived by the array, and that the true situation lay with Feng Xuezi. After all, people from the Floating City had also said similar things like Qinghe Mountain had long been extinct.
But now... what was going on??
"Junior Brother, come quickly. The envoy this time is a senior sister from the Spiritual Palace! She must be the type you like!" Bai Sheng’s transmitted voice also sounded in Yu Hong’s ear.
He stood up speechlessly.
The Qingwei Heart Technique had reached the Third Layer of the First Realm. The Illusion Human Realm was the highest level below the Immortal, with the subsequent parts being those imagined and deduced by the creator ancestor, which couldn’t be taken seriously.
Now, after cultivating for two months, he had successfully cultivated the Qingwei Heart Technique to the Second Layer. The Mist Heaven Magical Power produced was highly compatible with his dual eyes.
With the compatibility of the Innate Body and the dual eyes, plus the blessing of the Illusion God’s trait, Qingwei Heart Technique was being cultivated incredibly smoothly by Yu Hong.
"In at most half a month, I can cultivate to perfection in the Third Layer and complete the First Illusion Human Realm, then break the pill to form a Nascent Soul."
Yu Hong now had a feeling, that at the moment he perfected the Illusion Human Realm, it would be the crucial step for breaking the pill to form a Nascent Soul.
This strong feeling came from nowhere. The Innate Body had allowed him to cultivate up to now without encountering a single decent bottleneck. Truly a divine trait!
"First, let’s see if this envoy is real or fake." Yu Hong believed he had a 50% resistance to illusions, and combined with the Qingwei Heart Technique’s strong resistance to hallucinations, he should be able to determine the authenticity of the visitor.
Without delay, he rose, changed into a clean Daoist robe, tidied his appearance slightly, opened the door, and flashed to the entrance of Wanxue Palace.
By now, two rows of mechanical greeters in Daoist robes were already lined up outside the gate.
Red carpets were laid on the ground, and incense seemed to have been lit around, instantly elevating the ambiance considerably.
Yu Hong sensed the atmosphere inside the palace, quickened his pace, and entered the palace gate.
Soon, he arrived at the Frost Palace in the main hall, where he saw his master and senior brothers receiving the envoy.
Several people were sitting upright, all eyes focused on a young woman with black hair in a green robe sitting in the first seat on the left.
The woman’s long hair was coiled high, fixed with a green branch, holding a simple horsetail whisk in one hand, wearing a smiling face that was slightly chubby and a somewhat full figure.
"Come, come, Zheng Rou, let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Qian Rong from the Spiritual Palace of the main sect, the special envoy here to assess the situation." Yu Xuezi warmly introduced.
"Senior Sister Qian Rong is still young, only three hundred years old but has already stepped into the Mahayana Realm. The Immortal Realm is in sight. Even in the talent-filled main sect, she is a rare genius Immortal Seed."
"You give too much credit, Uncle Master Yu Xue. Compared to those senior brothers and sisters in the main sect, Qian Rong still has a long way to go. My modest cultivation is not worth mentioning."
The woman warmly smiled and responded.
"Zheng Rou greets Senior Sister Qian Rong." Yu Hong stepped forward and saluted. Mahayana Realm... only three hundred years old.
He couldn’t help but glance at Bai Sheng and Hei Ying on the side.
The two had expressions of apparent distress, clearly having been compared unfavorably by their master.
No wonder they were in a hurry to call him over.
Yu Hong immediately understood, realizing he was brought here to share the pressure.
Without pointing it out, he took his seat as arranged by Yu Xuezi.
Then he quietly listened to Yu Xuezi and the other side discuss the anomalies appearing on the surrounding planets recently.
"Please rest assured, Uncle Master, Qingyu Cave has already taken note of this anomaly. They will dispatch the second batch of inspection envoys soon to resolve this sudden star disaster problem." Qian Rong assured. "The specific time won’t exceed half a year."
"That would be great." Yu Xuezi looked relieved.
"Strangely enough, this is the first time such a situation has occurred since our sect severed the time and space. Logically, our traces outside should have long been erased by the Holy River. The star disaster shouldn’t actively seek us out. It’s unclear if it’s due to the impending Great Annihilation or some other factor triggering a chain reaction." Qian Rong pondered with a frown.
"Perhaps this is the price of constant evasion..." Yu Xuezi sighed, "Some things can’t be avoided by hiding." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
On the side, Yu Hong listened with narrowed eyes, initially thinking he would catch some flaws in the other party’s words. But the more he listened, the more he felt, that this side might also be real?!
What was going on!!?
