Chapter 535: Catch a sheep and pull it to death |
Sure, here is the translation:
---
Isn't this it?
Danger and opportunity coexist, and effort always pays off.
Moreover, the skill of "Relentless Destruction" is truly divine, enough to turn the tide for him...
Du Ge beamed with joy.
With such high-quality divine power, he certainly had the ability to help Elder Daoming complete his body's transformation in one go.
But as the saying goes, "A favor of a grain of rice can turn into a grudge over a bushel," and given the vast difference in strength between himself and Daoming, the moment he completed the transformation might be when Daoming would turn on him.
On the Alien Star Battlefield of the Sun God, the deities had little control over the messengers they created.
The most solid connection between people is the exchange of interests.
Gradually transforming Elder Daoming, creating more bonds with him, is the normal process of taming.
There's no reason he can only be a dog of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and not his own.
...
Du Ge simultaneously opened the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique" and the "Primordial Infinity Technique" exclusive to Master Xu.
Elder Daoming explained the origins of the cultivation techniques beside him: "Young friend, back then, Master Xu and others were traveling outside and obtained a jade slip in the cave of a senior. After activating the jade slip, it revealed Dao resonance and the sound of the Great Dao.
The five brothers of the Celestial Masters observed the Dao resonance and realized their own exclusive cultivation techniques from it, which became the five peak techniques passed down through generations at Tianshi Mountain.
Cultivation techniques have no inherent strength or weakness, only suitability. Master Xu was able to ascend first not because his realized technique was powerful, but because his aptitude and comprehension were stronger among the brothers."
Dao resonance?
No wonder Xu Wen'an was so generous in leaving the cultivation techniques at Dragon and Tiger Mountain;
No wonder since Xu Wen'an and others, the immortals who ascended from Dragon and Tiger Mountain never became famous again, having to rely on the Celestial Masters' Mansion for survival...
It turns out these techniques were realized by Xu Wen'an and others through Dao resonance, suitable for them but not necessarily for others.
In other words, no matter how others practice these techniques, they can never surpass them...
Ha!
Quite a clever calculation!
Du Ge sneered, recalling that when he first formed his Golden Elixir, Liao Jiulong had mentioned he had the aura of Dao resonance.
Those with high comprehension could observe Dao resonance and realize their own cultivation techniques.
Could it be that by cultivating the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique," combined with the spiritual power in his body, he returned to simplicity and ultimately restored the Dao resonance observed in the jade slip by Xu Wen'an and others?
So, Dao resonance is the most powerful.
To surpass Xu Wen'an, surpass the Eastern Emperor, he must possess a cultivation technique of his own.
After pondering for a moment, Du Ge opened the remaining cultivation techniques one by one.
Elder Daoming thought Du Ge was making a choice, watching him with a smile, explaining the characteristics of each technique, showing none of his previous brutality, just like a kind and amiable old man.
Daoming regarded Du Ge as an Innate Water Spirit, which relies on instinct to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, with a very slow cultivation speed, often taking hundreds or thousands of years. A suitable cultivation technique can quickly enhance their strength.
Du Ge, not versed in formations, fought purely by instinct, which also proved this point.
Elder Daoming wanted to use the Innate Water Spirit to transform his body, naturally hoping he would choose the most compatible cultivation technique.
Being transformed by the Innate Water Spirit, he would have a perfect Dao foundation, and with the spiritual power he had accumulated over the years, ascension to immortality would be just around the corner.
Moreover, Innate Spiritual Beings are rare, and once his Dao foundation is repaired, capturing the Innate Water Spirit, his future status in the celestial realm might not be much lower than that of the Celestial Masters.
The little Water Spirit was right; encountering it was indeed his fortune...
As for cause and effect?
Spiritual beings have no master, and those who obtain them possess them. Those great powers in the celestial realm, the Dao Ancestor's Chaos Golden Lotus, the Immortal Emperor's Celestial Wood, the Queen Mother's Peach Tree...
Who doesn't have one or two Innate Spiritual Beings in their hands?
...
"Elder, please set up a formation for me to conceal the aura of cultivation." Du Ge, after thoroughly reading the five cultivation techniques, closed the books and turned to Elder Daoming.
"Young friend, have you chosen which cultivation technique to practice?" Elder Daoming asked.
"I have." Du Ge nodded.
"..." Daoming was taken aback, "Could you tell me which cultivation technique you chose? I have resided in the Scripture Repository for a long time and have some knowledge of various techniques. I can offer some guidance."
"Thank you, Elder Daoming, but there's no need." Du Ge smiled, "I understood these techniques at a glance, without any doubts."
Indeed, Innate Spiritual Beings have clear Dao hearts!
Daoming was taken aback again, then chuckled, "Young friend, there's no need to be so guarded against me. I still rely on you to help me restore my meridians and would never harm you."
Feeling guilty?
Du Ge looked at Elder Daoming and smiled, "Elder Daoming, if I didn't trust you, how could I let you set up a formation for me? It's just that everyone's understanding of cultivation techniques is different, and I'm worried that listening to your explanation might mislead me."
"It was presumptuous of me." Elder Daoming smiled apologetically, formed a seal, and chanted a spell. Using his own spiritual power as a guide, he quickly set up a concealment formation in the open space in the middle of the Scripture Repository, "Young friend, feel free to enter the formation to cultivate. I will guard outside and ensure no one disturbs you."
Earlier, when he was outside persuading Elder Daoming, Du Ge had seen the introduction of the concealment formation in a book on formations. After considering Daoming's method of setting up the formation, he knew he wasn't being deceived and calmly entered the formation, sitting cross-legged.
Du Ge could understand and cultivate the techniques but didn't have the ability to create his own.
After all, he had been in this world for too short a time.
The things learned from other Alien Star Battlefields didn't apply in this world, but that didn't prevent Du Ge from creating his own cultivation technique, as he had a powerful body that other natives didn't possess.
In the Simulation Field, Du Ge had relied on the attributes of Alien Star warriors, constantly experimenting, using the simplest exhaustive method to create a cultivation technique unique to him.
Now, with an almost immortal divine body, creating a cultivation technique was even easier than before.
Du Ge now strongly suspected that the world's Dao techniques were created by those immortal Innate Deities after observing Dao resonance through this method.
Dark God power had strong restorative abilities at night.
But to be safe, Du Ge still drew water from the koi pond outside the Scripture Repository, enveloping his entire body.
Then, he reverted to a child's form in the water.
Seeing Du Ge's actions, Elder Daoming became even more convinced that he was an Innate Water Spirit, as only an Innate Water Spirit would cultivate using water, and judging by Du Ge's appearance, he had clearly just recently taken form.
Thus, the light in his eyes grew even more intense.
...
Each cultivation technique had a different method of practice.
Theoretically, having cultivated the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique," Du Ge should continue practicing it to achieve the best results.
But now, knowing that Dao resonance was the foundation in this world.
Du Ge naturally wouldn't follow the conventional path of cultivation. He had always been bold and daring, willing to experiment, especially since he had a successful track record.
With the Alien Star warrior's photographic memory, Du Ge recalled the route of the "Primordial Infinity Technique," forcibly stopping the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique" and began practicing the "Primordial Infinity Technique."
Forcibly changing the route, the spiritual power and divine power within Du Ge tore at his meridians.
Pain radiated from every part of his body, and blood oozed from his pores and orifices, even causing the Golden Elixir within him to tremble, showing signs of disintegration.
Fortunately, the Dark God power and the Power of Poseidon timely repaired the damage to his body, preventing Du Ge from dying on the spot.
Even so.
The blood-spraying Du Ge startled Daoming, who unhesitatingly channeled a stream of spiritual power into the concealment formation to stabilize Du Ge's meridians: "Young friend, don't panic. With me assisting you from outside, abandon your original cultivation route and focus on practicing the 'Primordial Infinity Technique.' Break first, then establish, and your future cultivation will be smooth."
Then, with a flip of his hand, a white pill emitting a gentle glow appeared in his palm. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Young friend, open your mouth. This is a Stabilizing Pill, which can help reshape your meridians."
Saying this.
Elder Daoming sent the pill into the water enveloping Du Ge. His Dao foundation was damaged, and this pill was given by the Celestial Master to stabilize his meridians, allowing him to stabilize his lifespan and prevent a fall in realm due to the damage.
But now, with hope for repairing his Dao foundation, this temporary measure of a pill naturally became less important.
Du Ge's survival ensured his future.
Du Ge's mental power was high enough to multitask, naturally sensing Elder Daoming's urgency.
The spiritual power provided by Daoming indeed aided his cultivation, as drawing spiritual power from the world couldn't compare to direct transmission.
Helping him repair his Dao foundation shouldn't be done for free, so it was just right to collect some interest in advance.
The more Daoming invested, the stronger their friendship would be.
Du Ge opened his mouth and swallowed the Stabilizing Pill.
As the Stabilizing Pill entered his stomach, the pain from the tearing meridians significantly lessened, and the repair speed increased.
With this divine medicine, Du Ge was completely at ease, focusing on cultivating the "Primordial Infinity Technique."
The three divine powers condensed into a rather solid Golden Elixir, and even though it trembled, it didn't disintegrate. After Du Ge completed a full circulation of the "Primordial Infinity Technique," the Golden Elixir smoothly began to accept the spiritual power provided by the new technique.
Familiar with the route of the "Primordial Infinity Technique," Du Ge gritted his teeth and began simultaneously operating both the "Primordial Infinity Technique" and the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique."
The newly stabilized meridians once again became chaotic, and blood sprayed out again, dyeing the water sphere enveloping Du Ge red.
"Young friend, what are you doing?" Elder Daoming clearly felt the cultivation technique stabilizing, and seeing Du Ge spraying blood again, he became anxious.
"Elder, please lend me a hand." Du Ge's tone was even more urgent than his, "The cultivation technique I naturally practice might conflict with the 'Primordial Infinity Technique.' Help me stabilize my meridians..."
"Young friend, don't panic. I'm here." Elder Daoming sensed something was amiss, frowned slightly, but still increased the transmission of spiritual power. He had already tasted the benefits and couldn't let the Innate Water Spirit encounter any mishaps.
Maybe the Innate Spiritual Beings are too powerful, and their cultivation methods are different from ordinary people! Elder Daoming comforted himself.
...
The two cultivation techniques clashed and collided within Du Ge.
But perhaps due to their common origin, or maybe the compatibility of the three divine powers was too good.
After the initial chaos, the two techniques successfully merged, forming a new route.
Sensing that Du Ge's meridians finally stabilized, Elder Daoming breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his spiritual power: "Young friend, it's done. Calm your mind, don't rush, and slowly familiarize yourself with the new route..."
But before he finished speaking, the spiritual power within Du Ge began a new round of turmoil, as Du Ge incorporated the "Returning to Origin Dao Technique" into the route.
Daoming's voice abruptly stopped, and he, being knowledgeable, instantly sensed the change in Du Ge's route, urgently said: "Young friend, what are you doing? Stop immediately. Your foundational technique is already established. Changing to another technique will render the previous ones useless, and in severe cases, you might go mad."
"Elder, I was reckless, but the 'Primordial Infinity Technique' might conflict with my meridians. I feel pain all over when practicing it, so I had no choice but to switch techniques. Please lend me a hand again."
Du Ge was extremely anxious, casually finding an excuse to urge.
The new technique's cultivation speed was noticeably faster than the "Nine Transformations of the Universe Technique." Since his idea proved feasible, Du Ge naturally wouldn't let the free labor go to waste.
Relying solely on drawing external spiritual power for cultivation would be too slow. Du Ge had always lacked time, and Elder Daoming's refined spiritual power was more convenient and pure.
Elder Daoming hesitated for a moment, then once again transmitted spiritual power: "Young friend, if the 'Returning to Origin Dao Technique' is still unsuitable, you can stop first and let me personally choose a technique for you..."
Du Ge didn't respond, focusing on dealing with the turmoil of divine power and meridians within.
Elder Daoming sighed, concentrating on providing support, acting as a large refueling station.
Soon, the "Returning to Origin Dao Technique" was tamed by Du Ge. Before Daoming could catch his breath, Du Ge began a new round of integration with the three techniques...
At this point, Elder Daoming finally realized something was wrong, and asked in shock: "Young friend, what are you doing?"
"Elder, you've seen through it. I'm trying to integrate the five techniques into one." Du Ge weakly smiled, "If this technique succeeds, it will be a cultivation method unique to me. By then, helping you repair your Dao foundation will be easy."
"Are you crazy?" Elder Daoming's face changed drastically, urgently saying, "Stop immediately. Throughout history, no one has ever been able to integrate all techniques. Continuing will ruin your own foundation."
"Elder, I can't stop now." Du Ge looked at Daoming, "The route within me has already been altered beyond recognition. Stopping now would be a waste. Elder, do you have any more of those pills? Please give me another one. If this technique succeeds, there will be great rewards."
"You're crazy, truly crazy." Elder Daoming shook his head vigorously, experiencing more in one day than in a lifetime. He stared at Du Ge, finally understanding why he didn't let him choose a technique.
It turns out this guy planned to practice all five techniques from the start.
If he had told him his plan earlier, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to such an absurd approach.
Elder Daoming's eyes were bloodshot, as if seeing the hope of repairing his Dao foundation slipping away. He looked at Du Ge with a face full of pleading: "Young friend, please stop, I beg you, stop, you'll destroy yourself."
"Elder Daoming, how will you know if you don't try?" Du Ge smiled with difficulty, "I've already integrated three techniques, just two more to go.
Elder, I'm an Innate Water Spirit, different from you humans. If you're not ruthless to yourself, you can't stand firm.
This is my tribulation. Help me through this, and I'll have the qualification to help you repair your meridians, and we'll both have a bright future.
Otherwise, with ordinary techniques, it would take me decades to achieve the Elemental Infant, perhaps a hundred years to integrate with the Dao. I can wait, but can you, Elder?
Come, Elder, don't be stingy with your pills and spiritual power. For our future, for your meridians, let's take a gamble..."
So you're doing it for my sake, right!
Elder Daoming was speechless.
But undeniably, Du Ge was right. He really couldn't wait, and he had already planned to use various pills to forcefully boost Du Ge's power after he chose a technique.
His foundation was severely damaged, and Daoming didn't believe the Golden Elixir Realm or Elemental Infant Realm could fully repair it...
"Fine." Elder Daoming sighed deeply, taking out two more pills, "Young friend, since your mind is made up, I'll go all out to help you.
These two elixirs, one is a Heart Stabilizing Pill, to protect your heart meridian; the other is a Returning to Origin Pill, to help you sort out your internal spiritual power and nourish your body. After taking these pills, if it doesn't work, remember to stop in time, your life is important."
"Thank you, Elder."
Du Ge swallowed the two pills, sincerely expressing his gratitude.
At this point, he had already integrated the "Returning to Origin Dao Technique" and began practicing the "Universal Mind Technique."
Watching the crazy Du Ge, Elder Daoming was helpless, only able to continue maintaining the output of spiritual power. As Du Ge kept changing techniques, he felt his spiritual power was being consumed too quickly.
Du Ge's body was like a bottomless pit, swallowing his spiritual power in large gulps.
Helplessly, he had to put a pill in his mouth to restore the rapidly consumed spiritual power.
At Elder Daoming's level, ordinary pills were no longer effective.
Over the years, he hadn't accumulated many elixirs, and consuming several at once was painful.
At this moment, Elder Daoming couldn't stop. Things had progressed to this point, and if he didn't help Du Ge, he certainly wouldn't succeed. By then, he would not only lose face but also waste the pills.
For a moment, Elder Daoming even felt he had been schemed against.
But after thinking it over, he didn't believe a newly formed little demon could scheme so thoroughly. What he encountered seemed more like a bold demon acting on a whim...
Sigh!
Elder Daoming sighed, refocusing his mind to help Du Ge cultivate.
What a sin!
Opportunities aren't so easily obtained, this might be his tribulation too!
...
Du Ge felt that after successfully integrating three techniques into one, the speed of the Golden Elixir's rotation significantly increased.
Moreover, the Golden Elixir was expanding.
This directly resulted in a sharp increase in the demand for spiritual energy. Without Daoming charging from the side, relying on absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, he couldn't integrate the techniques so quickly.
Not to mention the elixirs within helping him recover...
Elder Daoming, a good man indeed!
Actually, without the elixirs provided by Elder Daoming, Du Ge had already planned to have Elder Daoming sacrifice himself when the meridians couldn't be repaired, allowing himself to be ruthless.
After all, matching the keywords, the injury would be repaired.
Whether persuasion or ruthlessness, it must be in progress to take effect. During cultivation, persuasion seemed a bit laborious, ruthlessness was just right...
For his own recovery, Elder Daoming surely wouldn't be stingy in sacrificing himself.
With the elixirs, he was spared from being the villain.
However.
This Alien Star Battlefield truly had good things!
Cultivation techniques, elixirs, skyrocketing mental power...
If other Alien Star Battlefields brought only despair to Du Ge, this Alien Star Battlefield truly gave him hope of escaping or defeating Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Especially since he exposed the three divine powers and wasn't punished by Pan-Universal Entertainment, instead receiving a mental power reward, it was an unexpected joy.
In this Alien Star Battlefield, his luck was simply overwhelming.
