Chapter 408 - 408 Bizarre Nether Dao s.n.a.t.c.hing
408 Bizarre Nether Dao s.n.a.t.c.hing
Old Master Seventh admired Xu Qing even more when he saw how Xu Qing calmly said that he wanted to go to poison dao sects to learn. He laughed and nodded.
“Naturally. Let’s go, Master will bring you there.” Old Master Seventh left the sect with Xu Qing.
In the sky, Xu Qing didn’t need him to speak. He turned and bowed solemnly to the sect below.
Old Master Seventh was even more satisfied. After bowing as well, he brought Xu Qing onto the magic s.h.i.+p.
As for Ding Xue, she was still cultivating. Her talent was clearly ordinary, so even with the help of the soul pearl, she was still having difficulty in opening magic apertures.
Time slowly pa.s.sed as Xu Qing and Old Master Seventh studied. A month later, as the magic s.h.i.+p entered the western region of the Yinghuang Province and Old Master Seventh perfected the cultivation art he had created for Xu Qing, this study finally came to an end.
Xu Qing had gained a lot in terms of plants and vegetation techniques and they were quite helpful to his Dao of Poison. The books about poison in the few Poison Dao Evil Sects were especially impactful.
For example, the Poison Planting Art. This method turned the flesh into a pill furnace and used the bloodline as a curse to refine a lethal poison.
However, all of this wasn’t the main point for Xu Qing at this moment. His eyes were burning as he looked at a small black ball rising in Old Master Seventh’s palm.
This small ball was formed by countless runes and contained terrifying fluctuations. What was even more mysterious was that with a glance, it was as though countless information flowed into his mind.
“Fourth, give me that girl Sima Ru’s Bizarre Nether Heart.” Old Master Seventh’s expression was solemn as he slowly spoke.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He recalled that his master had told him that the heart would be of great use. Hence, he immediately took out Sima Ru’s Bizarre Nether Heart from his storage bag and handed it to Old Master Seventh.
Old Master Seventh flicked his sleeve and fused the Bizarre Nether Heart into the small black ball. Immediately, the small ball boiled as though it was alive and continuously emitted soul-stirring roars.
“Fourth, the cultivation art I created for you is based on your characteristics. It will form a mark in your mind.”
“This inheritance method was created by referencing an emperor-level cultivation art!” As he spoke, the small black ball in Old Master Seventh’s hand roared and dissipated, turning into a ball of black liquid. With a wave of Old Master Seventh’s hand, it floated toward Xu Qing.
“Lift your head!” Old Master Seventh’s voice echoed. Xu Qing looked at the black liquid floating over and lifted his head.
At the next instant, the liquid came into contact with Xu Qing’s forehead. A piercing pain spread out as the liquid seeped in through Xu Qing’s skin and fused into his bones. It then continued to seep and evaporate. Finally, it transformed into traces of peculiar power that gathered in Xu Qing’s divine sense. As they intertwined, they formed a black mark!
As soon as this mark appeared, thunder rumbled and waves surged in Xu Qing’s mind. His body seemed to have transformed into a lone boat that churned in the furious sea.
This mark wasn’t a dead object but was throbbing!
The frequency of the mark was the same as Xu Qing’s heartbeat.
As the thumping sounds echoed, a large amount of information erupted from the runic mark and filled Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness. Xu Qing instinctively closed his eyes and focused on comprehending.
Old Master Seventh’s ancient and proud voice echoed in his sea of consciousness.
“Fourth, every one of my disciples cultivates a different cultivation art. I personally researched and custom-made them!”
“For your Golden Core cultivation art, I used Bizarre Nether Heart as the foundation and studied hundreds of Golden Core cultivation arts, especially the arts pa.s.sed down by the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.”
“This technique is extremely domineering and matches the aura and style of your attack; it’s extremely sinister and cruel. This suits your killing nature.”
“This art is called… Bizarre Nether Dao s.n.a.t.c.hing Art!”
“This art can turn one of your hands into phantom, into a bizarre nether hand. You can use this phantom hand to pierce into the enemy’s sea of consciousness and s.n.a.t.c.h their Golden Core from the Heavenly Palace.”
“You can then refine and retain its essence and nurture it in your own Heavenly Palace. After s.n.a.t.c.hing and gathering them like this, it will speed up the formation of your own Golden Core!”
“This way, you’ll become stronger the more you fight and kill!”
“Your future path is to cultivate by killing and proving your path with blood!”
“When cultivated to the extreme, your entire body can transform into the bizarre nether state, obtaining a portion of the characteristics of the Bizarre Fiend Race. Although possession and undying traits are innate talents and difficult to obtain, it can allow you to ignore some spells and change between phantom and corporeal state!”
Old Master Seventh’s words were like m.u.f.fled thunder. The instant they rumbled in Xu Qing’s mind, the runic mark also erupted with a resplendent light. A large amount of information about the Bizarre Nether Dao s.n.a.t.c.hing Art gushed into Xu Qing’s mind.
It was just like when he learned the emperor-level cultivation art, Golden Crow Refines All Life, back then. The contents were directly imprinted in his mind.
That mark was like an inheritance seed and had some characteristic of not being able to be plundered by others. Although it wasn’t as powerful as an emperor-level cultivation art, it was still shocking.
Xu Qing’s closed eyes opened and his breathing became hurried. When he looked at Old Master Seventh, his eyes revealed an intense light. After a long time, he stood up and cupped his fists, bowing deeply.
“Thank you, Master!”
After Xu Qing sensed this cultivation art, he realized its astonis.h.i.+ng might. Moreover, it was extremely compatible with his body, and he did not need to change his combat style. It was a qualitative change in the same direction on his original foundation.
Once he stepped into the Golden Core realm, he would instantly master this technique.
At that moment, the night wind blew over, blowing some of Old Master Seventh’s white hair. He stood there and looked at Xu Qing with a faint smile.
“Don’t be happy too early. This cultivation art is too domineering and it’s very easy to get lost in cultivation. The divine sense contained in the Golden Cores you seize will confuse your mind, causing you to become a lunatic who only knows how to kill.”
“Therefore, if you want to cultivate this technique, you need a strong point to prop up your soul, so that the various distracting thoughts in the Golden Cores you will s.n.a.t.c.h in the future will not be able to shake you at all.”
“Therefore, I’m bringing you to a place next. I’ve told you before. It’s the Nanyue Ghost Mountain!” Old Master Seventh calmly said.
Xu Qing immediately thought of the human-shaped pattern that represented the Nanyue Ghost Mountain on the map his master had drawn when he imparted spells to him.
At that time, his master had said that the Nanyue Ghost Mountain might be a place of fortune for him.
Now, he understood that what his master had said back then was about this.
Old Master Seventh had already begun to ponder over his cultivation art back then. When Xu Qing realized this, the grat.i.tude in his heart deepened.
“Let’s go to the Nanyue Ghost Mountain. Let’s go there… and plant a G.o.d in your heart!”
Old Master Seventh’s words were filled with deep meaning. Before Xu Qing could ask, he flicked his sleeve and the magic s.h.i.+p instantly rumbled, whistling in the direction of the Nanyue Ghost Mountain. They were currently in the west and weren’t far from the Nanyue Ghost Mountain.
On the way, Ding Xue woke up.
She finally opened 30 magic apertures and successfully lit a ball of life fire. She excitedly activated her Mystic Brilliance Form and enjoyed the speed and explosive force that far exceeded her previous self.
Looking at Ding Xue, Xu Qing sighed with emotion inwardly. He thought of the difficulty he faced when forming the first ball of life fire. This was especially so when he saw Old Master Seventh looking at Ding Xue dotingly and even handing her a soul pearl.
He experienced how his captain used to feel.
“A girl has to be raised richly, but a boy has to be raised poorly!” Old Master Seventh glanced at Xu Qing.
Ding Xue covered her mouth and laughed. She took out a small box containing snacks and handed one to Old Master Seventh. Just as Old Master Seventh was feeling very happy, Ding Xue secretly handed an even larger snack to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took it and looked at Old Master Seventh.
Old Master Seventh glared.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything. He took a bite and closed his eyes to meditate. While sensing the cultivation art, he was also thinking about the 121st magic aperture.
Perhaps it was because Old Master Seventh was around, Ding Xue was clearly a little reserved. She didn’t give Xu Qing spirit tickets and ask questions like before. Instead, she had a lively appearance, causing her clear voice to ring out from time to time as well as Old Master Seventh’s hearty laughter.
However, as they got closer to the Nanyue Ghost Mountain, Ding Xue’s words became fewer and fewer. Old Master Seventh’s laughter also slowly disappeared because… this place was miserable.
Countless ruins and desolation could be seen on the ground. Skeletons and carnivorous birds and beasts could be seen everywhere. This place was filled with bizarre ent.i.ties and the sinister feeling ran amok here.
The bitterness of the human world fused into the world with oppression, permeating the magic s.h.i.+ps that flew into this area. From afar, Xu Qing saw a majestic mountain.
That mountain looked like a supreme existence and stood between heaven and earth. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this mountain was actually a humanoid figure sitting cross-legged and meditating!
Its appearance was covered by dust but it still couldn’t hide its malevolence. It wore pitch-black armor and held a large blade in its hand. It carried two worlds on its shoulder.
It was like the spirit of an evil G.o.d.
With just a glance, Xu Qing’s mind rumbled. Seeing that the mountain wasn’t a mountain, he only felt that the aura of the ghost body sitting cross-legged was astonis.h.i.+ng.
The higher one’s cultivation was, the deeper they would feel the power of this evil being. On the other hand, ordinary people would not feel too much turmoil because they would see the mountain as only a mountain.
In Xu Qing’s eyes, this figure emitted a terrifying pressure.. It was as though every inch of its armor contained the power to destroy everything.
As for the two worlds on its shoulder, they were lifelike and contained countless demons, ghosts, and monsters. Evil intent soared into the sky, and it was a shocking sight.
This was the Nanyue Ghost Mountain of the Yinghuang Province.
As for that evil G.o.d’s spirit, it was also known as the Nanyue Ghost Emperor.
It was unknown how the two worlds on its shoulders were like in their glory days. However, now, they were inhabited by fiends from various races. With the Seven Fiends of Ghost Mountain as the leader, they became one of the six major forces in the Yinghuang Province.
“Fourth, your mission is to move this G.o.d into your heart and make it a pillar of suppression to suppress the distracting thoughts of the Golden Cores you seize in the future!”
“If you can do it, I’ll allow you to cultivate the cultivation art.”
“If you can’t do it, I can only teach you a secondary Golden Core cultivation art.”
