Chapter 699: Chapter 421 Inquiry of the Forsaken Disciple Han Old Demon_2
“Brother Yan, why don’t you ask the Yama Ancestor to co out of seclusion? This matter should not be delayed!”
“Brother Chou is right! If soone with ill intent has mingled onto the Black Ship, and we turn a blind eye, if sothing goes wrong, the Yama Ancestor will surely flay us alive.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with a sneaky deanor shuddered all over, his eyes revealing a palpable fear as if imagining so terrifying event.
His face hardened, and he imdiately made a decision, speaking in a solemn voice, “Mobilize everyone imdiately, comb every nook and cranny of the ship from top to bottom. We shall take action personally. If within three days, those two aren’t found, I will respectfully request that Master cos out of seclusion!”
“That’s not acceptable, if sothing goes wrong in the middle. If the Ancestor blas us, we cannot bear it.”
“Cannot bear it?! If in the end, it turns out to be a false alarm, and Master is furious because of this, do you spineless fools really think you can bear that?” the Sneaky middle-aged man no longer cared about saving face for his fellow Daoists, and outright cursed them.
Even though he was a disciple of the Yama Ancestor, he held no place in his Master’s heart.
If he angered his Master to the point of thunderous rage, who’s to say that he wouldn’t end up like several of his “senior brothers” before him, casually refined into a Yan Tu Puppet, with no control over life or death!
Facing such a fickle and heartless Master, one could imagine the Sneaky middle-aged man’s awe and fear towards the Yama Ancestor.
Seeing the other three Demon Elders hesitant to take charge, the Spirit Bone Monster, with a sense of responsibility, couldn’t help but snort coldly, “Hmph, since things have co to this point. Let’s do as Brother Yan suggests for now! We have three days to find those ‘missing’ two. Otherwise… there will be quite a spectacle!”
Before long, orders filled with cruel and rciless intent rapidly reached the ears of all the crew.
As the more than three hundred crew mbers sward out to frantically search for the two missing passengers, Zhao Sheng was in a cabin, eyes closed in ditation, quietly practicing the Divine Thought Secret thod.
It had been over fifty years since he obtained the “Infinite Divine Calculation” Secret Technique.
To this day, he had successfully calculated the Infinite Number up to the one billion seven hundred ninety-eight million four hundred forty-six thousandth place.
At this stage, the difficulty of calculating the Infinite Number was terrifying, and even with Zhao Sheng’s Talent, it would take three to four days to calculate the next digit.
Yet, on the flip side, the effect of the Infinite Divine Calculation on improving spiritual power was surprisingly strong.
Although Zhao Sheng’s cultivation was temporarily stuck at the Nascent Soul Third Level Peak, the strength of his divine thought was by no ans inferior to those in the Late-stage Nascent Soul.
Despite the accumulation of seven lifetis, the auxiliary effects of many Divine Thought Secret thods were not to be underestimated either.
So far, he had primarily practiced five major Divine Thought Secret thods.
“One Elent Initial Technique” is abstruse and has a strong buildup effect, hence the slow progress in cultivation.
“Star God Thousand Heart Technique” had reached Great Success, and he was now in the process of consciousness integration, but with no visible results for a long ti, which goes without saying.
Compared to the imdiately impactful and superior effects of “Infinite Divine Calculation”, “Inner Scenery Heaven” and “No Thought and Non-thought Observation thod” seed sowhat inferior.
“Inner Scenery Heaven” aims to use divine thought to depict everything under heaven in as much detail and realism as possible, the closer to the true essence of the universe, the greater the enhancent of divine thought.
In theory, this thod should be more suitable for Zhao Sheng.
Yet, the reality was that the cultivation effect of this thod was underwhelming—not below normal levels, but not as powerful as he had imagined.
After much thought, Zhao Sheng finally realized it was because he had practiced “Star God Thousand Heart Technique.”
One prioritizes splitting attention a thousand ways, while the other focuses on sincerity towards heaven.
There is so conflict between the two in essence, so it’s no surprise that the effects of cultivation have sowhat diminished.
For Zhao Sheng, “No Thought and Non-thought Observation thod”
is the most challenging, as this thod originated from the ditation techniques of Ancient Buddhism, carrying a trace of Buddhist nature and heavily reliant on enlightennt in cultivation.
It took Zhao Sheng more than a decade to fully imagine a type of demon that never existed in the universe, then slowly erase it, gradually forgetting it bit by bit.
After he finally completely forgot it, his spiritual power surged by more than thirty percent.
Unfortunately, over the subsequent thirty years, he failed to imagine it correctly again and again, never making any progress.
Bang, bang!
An hour later, a series of loud noises suddenly ca from the cabin next door; soone was causing a ruckus inside.
The person didn’t find anything and quickly left the cabin.
Logically, it should have been Zhao Sheng’s cabin’s turn by now.
However, despite the many searches, not a single person knocked on the door; everyone seed to have forgotten about this cabin.
After a day, Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Just then, a strange Divine Thought had suddenly probed the spiritual Prohibition he had set up around the outer layer.
“Is the cor a friend or foe?” Zhao Sheng wondered.
At that mont, the strange Divine Thought kept probing the Prohibition, as if out of curiosity, yet accompanied by an obvious good intent.
Zhao Sheng’s mind stirred, the spiritual Prohibition outside the door suddenly unraveled, and his Divine Thought transmitted a ssage: “Which Daoist friend intentionally disturbs another’s peaceful slumber? You might as well show yourself.”
“Haha, fellow Daoist, don’t be offended. Han is simply too curious, hence the intentional probing.”
Before the voice faded, a jade-faced young master wearing a green robe and with long hair hanging over his shoulders, suddenly appeared at the cabin’s entrance.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand to open the cabin door and, with an indifferent expression, said softly, “Please co in, Daoist friend!”
The jade-faced young master’s eyes revealed a hint of wonder as he stepped into the room, sitting down straightforwardly opposite Zhao Sheng, seemingly assured and not at all afraid of Zhao Sheng turning hostile and attacking.
“May I know the distinguished na and surna of the gentleman? Why disturb my cultivation without cause?”
“My surna is Han, my given na is not worth ntioning, but my fellow daoists have given an elegant title, calling ‘Asking Dao outcast Han Old Demon’,” said the jade-faced young master.
“So, it is Fellow Daoist Han in person. I am Tianqiong Wanderer, although I fall far short of Fellow Daoist Han’s illustrious reputation; I am rely naless!” Zhao Sheng said with a heart moved, slowly saluting with a clasped fist.
Unaffected by the comnt, Han Mu laughed and said, “Fellow Daoist Tianqiong, I was indeed reckless just now. Please don’t take offense. This is a bottle of Asking Dao Pills that I have refined. Please accept it as my way of apologizing.”
Eyeing the verdant pill bottle in the other’s palm, with a thought from Zhao Sheng, Divine Thought drew the pill bottle flying into the air, flashing into his sleeve in a twinkling.
Having received the gift, Zhao Sheng’s expression remained very muted, seeming uninterested: “I have accepted the apology. If Fellow Daoist Han has no further business, then please, go ahead!”
“Hehe! I didn’t expect Tianqiong to be such an ascetic cultivator. I admire it truly! However, there is sothing I must inform Daoist friend about—we are about to find ourselves in trouble.”
On hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s mind stirred, and he asked probingly, “Yama Ancestor?”
“Correct, it’s that old monster! Yama Ancestor is a Late-stage Nascent Soul, and he also has an unpredictable temper. If he cos looking for both of us, that could spell trouble.”
“Trouble? I don’t see it as a problem, provided he can find . And I don’t think Yama Ancestor would strike at first sight. After all, we both belong to the Nascent Soul Realm; how could we get into a fight over sothing trivial?”
Having said that, Zhao Sheng returned the question: “Fellow Daoist Han speaks like this; could it be that you have a grudge against Yama Ancestor?”
“Haha, Daoist friend must be joking. How could Han possibly provoke a Late-stage Nascent Soul great demon? I rely wish to avoid eting him, that’s all,” Han Mu chuckled, revealing nothing of his real thoughts.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng very simply gestured with his hand, saying, “If that’s the case, please feel free to leave, Fellow Daoist Han!”
Seeing that he could not proceed, Han Mu calmly stood up and saluted: “Previously, I was presumptuous, and I hope Daoist friend will not take it to heart. If the situation changes in the future, Han might still pay a visit, but now I shall take my leave!”
After listening, Zhao Sheng remained impassive, completely unaffected.
Han Mu nodded with a smile and walked out of the cabin unhurriedly.
As soon as he left, his expression suddenly changed, all because Tianqiong Wanderer had abruptly disappeared from his Divine Thought sensing.
Han Mu forcefully suppressed the urge to return, activated Shrinking Earth into an Inch Divine Power, spanning a hundred yards in a single step, and after a few steps, vanished at the end of the corridor.
