Chapter 1247: Technique to Pass Tribulations
“The second is regarding the cultivation of Martial Emperors and how to maximize the use of your Primordial Energy, not wasting resources.
“The third is closely related to you now, so techniques for passing tribulations.”
Xiao Chen showed a stunned expression. These three things could even be called divine techniques, all of them extraordinary. Learning just one would already bring considerable benefits. The favor of the Fla Rock Sovereign was simply too big.
The Fla Rock Sovereign continued, “However, my guidance will not be easy. You will have to suffer from great pain in every one of them. This is especially so for the third one. You might even die.”
Xiao Chen did not feel any fear. His eyes remained resolute as he said, “Senior, rest assured. I have already grasped this principle on my path thus far. The greater the value of sothing, the greater the risk or price to pay. There is no such thing as getting sothing for nothing.”
“First, I’ll teach you the Sharp Spirit Finger. Little Friend Xiao Chen, how do you think I managed to accomplish my earlier finger move?” the Fla Rock Sovereign asked Xiao Chen while looking at him as if testing Xiao Chen’s comprehension ability.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After pondering for a while, he said, “On the surface, it looked like you continuously compressed all the energy before gathering it at one point. Then, you unleashed it all in one go, displaying an offensive power that far surpassed your cultivation.”
Earlier, the Fla Rock Sovereign only executed his finger move with the cultivation of a half-step Martial Emperor. However, the offensive power far surpassed that of Xiao Chen’s dial Grade Profound Martial Technique. This was the principle behind it.
However, if it were that simple, it would not be anything special. It would be sothing that one would readily learn with one glance. What then would be the point of the Fla Rock Sovereign teaching Xiao Chen this?
The Fla Rock Sovereign smiled faintly and nodded before saying, “Continue.”
Then, Xiao Chen thought for a while more and said, “The actual situation is definitely not that simple. Law Energy flows in one’s body like water. The human body is like a water pouch. Once a certain place is overfilled, the water pouch would deform.
“If it were just by once or twice over, the body would be able to endure it. However, if it goes beyond ten tis—one hundred tis or thousands of tis—the water pouch would definitely have problems that would cause it to explode.”
The smile on the Fla Rock Sovereign’s face widened. “This is the first ti for to hear of such a comparison. This is rather interesting. Go on. How are you going to ensure that the water pouch does not explode?”
The Fla Rock Sovereign did not say whether Xiao Chen was right or wrong. Instead, he indicated for Xiao Chen to pursue this line of thought.
Feeling encouraged, Xiao Chen said, “If you want to prevent the water pouch from breaking, there are two ways. One is to increase the toughness of the water pouch. That is to say, the strength of the physical body. The second thod is to increase the density of the water. This ans continuously refining the Law Energy and making it denser. A similar-sized strand of refined Law Energy would be able to bring out ten tis—one hundred tis—the corresponding might.”
Xiao Chen’s line of thought beca increasingly clearer. “My guess is that Senior used the second thod. This is because Senior used only the strength of a half-step Martial Emperor and did not use the Golden Emperor Body.”
The Fla Rock Sovereign started laughing loudly, confusing Xiao Chen. Was he right or wrong?
“Senior, so was I right or wrong?” Xiao Chen asked carefully. Now, he could not figure out what the Fla Rock Sovereign was thinking.
After laughing his fill, the Fla Rock Sovereign answered, “Sorry, it’s completely wrong. However, I feel that your line of thought is a viable direction as well. Right, it can be considered.”
Xiao Chen fell speechless. This was simply digging him a pit to jump into. At first, based on the Fla Rock Sovereign’s expression, Xiao Chen thought that he was right. Unexpectedly, the Fla Rock Sovereign said that in the end.
“Senior, there is no need to fool like that, right,” Xiao Chen said depressedly.
The Fla Rock Sovereign said, “I’m not fooling you. This is the Martial Technique that I comprehended by myself, sothing belonging to . Nothing can compare to sothing you comprehended yourself.
“Your line of thought is indeed correct. However, the physical body is a physical body after all; it is still sowhat different from a water pouch in the end. My thod only utilizes one thing: speed!”
Speed? What does that an?
“That is to use an extre speed to gather a vast amount of energy. The physical body, indeed, cannot endure it. However, if it is just for a thousandth of a second, or even a hundredth, do you think that the physical body can endure it?”
Xiao Chen’s brain lit up; he instantly felt enlightened. Certainly, if it was just for a thousandth of a second or even just a hundredth, given the toughness of the physical body, it would definitely be endurable.
However, this was very close to the limit. Just slightly slower, and it could result in damage to the body; the losses would not be worth the gain.
This was like dancing on a tightrope. If one got careless and fell, the consequences would be hard to recover from.
“Let demonstrate it to you a few tis. Watch carefully!”
The Fla Rock Sovereign’s expression turned serious. Then, he casually pointed. The sky imdiately turned dark, preventing Xiao Chen from seeing anything. Aside from the bright light on the Fla Rock Sovereign’s fingertip—a light as bright as the sun—Xiao Chen could not make out even the Fla Rock Sovereign’s face and body. They were all overwheld by this bright light, rging into the darkness.
The light flashed, and a fiery light as bright as the sun appeared at the Fla Rock Sovereign’s shoulder.
Many sun-like fiery lights appeared continuously on the Fla Rock Sovereign’s body, making him scintillate without pause.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes wide, watching the Fla Rock Sovereign’s patient demonstration closely. Finally, he discovered so of the tricks to it.
A faint red whirlpool at the Fla Rock Sovereign’s chest spun continuously. No matter where the Law Energy flowed to, this red whirlpool never disappeared at all.
It looked like the red whirlpool did not stop at all.
However, in reality, the red whirlpool had been flashing, moving incredibly fast, even faster than those resplendent sun-like fiery lights.
The red whirlpool was rely too fast for the physical eye to capture its motions. This created the illusion that it never stopped.
The lights stopped flashing, and the Fla Rock Sovereign asked, “How about it? Did you manage to figure out anything?”
Xiao Chen nodded and replied, “The core of Senior’s Sharp Spirit Finger should be the red whirlpool at your chest. Without being able to materialize that red whirlpool, even if others knew about the Sharp Spirit Finger’s principle, they would not dare to try it.”
“That’s right. I comprehended this Sharp Spirit Finger before I advanced to Martial Emperor. Due to a stroke of fortune, I entered into the state of being one with heaven and comprehended it after a flash of inspiration.”
Xiao Chen said, “There is nothing that happens without reason in this world. Even for sothing like a flash of inspiration, without a large amount of accumulations, one would not be able to obtain this flash of inspiration.”
This comnt stunned the Fla Rock Sovereign when he heard it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen could see this so clearly. This was a principle that the Fla Rock Sovereign understood after living for more than five thousand years.
“Right now, you have two paths that you can take. The first is to follow my thods, and I’ll teach you the Sharp Spirit Finger. The second is to perfect the direction that you found yourself. I’ll be around whenever you need .”
Xiao Chen did not hesitate for long before deciding. “I choose the second route.”
The speed of his decision sowhat flabbergasted the Fla Rock Sovereign. “Why? Have you thought it through? It was just a casual remark. The ti is so short. It is too difficult if you want to comprehend it on your own.”
“I thought through it already. Senior is right. The Martial Techniques comprehended by oneself are more suited to oneself in the end. While choosing the first route seems simple and will allow to learn quickly, Senior is a fire-attributed cultivator while I am a lightning-attributed cultivator. Although I would learn fast, it would require a vast amount of ti to perfect it in the future.”
Xiao Chen continued his analysis. “If I choose the second route, while learning will be very slow, once I’ve built the foundation, it will be perfectly suited to , which will actually be more efficient.”
The Fla Rock Sovereign smiled. “You are that confident that you can comprehend it yourself?”
Xiao Chen said calmly, “Senior already explained it so clearly to and even personally demonstrated it. If I still cannot comprehend it, it would only go to show that this Sharp Spirit Finger is not suitable for .”
The Fla Rock Sovereign said, “Good. In that case, I’ll give you ten days. Whether you succeed or not, I will skip past this step and teach you the second thing, the usage of Primordial Energy.”
Xiao Chen nodded but did not hurry to ditate and ponder. Instead, he got the Fla Rock Sovereign to explain in detail how the Fla Rock Sovereign had initially comprehended the Sharp Spirit Finger.
Two days passed quickly. Even the Fla Rock Sovereign was sowhat fatigued by Xiao Chen’s questions. However, Xiao Chen still tirelessly and patiently sought advice.
As far as Xiao Chen understood, having such a Sovereign Martial Emperor by his side was much more useful than any secret manual.
When the third day arrived, Xiao Chen stopped asking the Fla Rock Sovereign questions. Instead, a pile of books the height of a person towered beside him. These were all so Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques that the Fla Rock Sovereign ntioned while they chatted.
This sight rendered the watching Fla Rock Sovereign sowhat tongue-tied. Even he could not rember all of them. However, Xiao Chen did not miss out on even one, gathering them all.
On the fourth day, another pile of books appeared beside Xiao Chen. These were all lightning-attributed Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques that he borrowed from the Fla Rock Sovereign.
As the Fla Rock Sovereign and Ao Jiao drank the Thousand Year Fla, they occasionally glanced at Xiao Chen, who was reading seriously at the drill ground.
The Fla Rock Sovereign frowned and said, “Almost half the ti has passed, and he is still reading. He is too calm and indifferent.”
The Fla Rock Sovereign even started to wonder whether he made a misjudgnt, running into a nerd who only excelled at theory.
Ao Jiao scolded with a smile, “Just you wait. Xiao Chen never does anything he is not confident of. Since he chose the second route, he is definitely confident. You have no idea how strong his comprehension ability is.”
The Fla Rock Sovereign said, “I also hope that he can comprehend it himself. That way, it would be at its strongest. However, there are only six days left, and he is still so calm about it. I am really starting to get worried.”
“Hey, Xiao Chen moved!” Ao Jiao said as she put down her wine cup.
The Fla Rock Sovereign’s eyes lit up as he quickly looked over. However, he could not help feeling disappointed. After Xiao Chen put down the books, he started trying things out instead of quietly ditating and pondering.
In the end, Xiao Chen did not succeed even once. Instead, lightning-attributed energy opened various wounds all over his body. There were even several tis when his internal organs sustained severe injury.
The Fla Rock Sovereign wanted to put a stop to this. However, Ao Jiao intercepted him. “Don’t go. Given how stubborn he is, he will not listen to you at this mont.”
Hence, this situation continued. Whether it was night or day, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the drill ground. These mysterious phenona startled all the cultivators and servants in the entire Fla Rock castle.
When these people saw Xiao Chen treating himself harshly, they all showed incredulous looks on their faces.
“What is he doing?”
“I heard that he is comprehending the Fla Rock Sovereign’s consummate skill, which the Fla Rock Sovereign does not teach anyone, the Sharp Spirit Finger!”
“You must be joking. With how badly he is torturing himself, he still wants to comprehend the Sharp Spirit Finger? Did he suffer a blow to the head?”
As the thunder roared, it veiled the sky with a constant dark overcast churning continuously, day and night. Three days passed this way. Now, it startled not only the people in the Fla Rock castle but also all the cultivators in the entire Dark City.
