Holy Dragon Totem - Chapter 10
After Su Qianyu and the others left, Jiang Zizai and Lu Dingxing remained on the drill field for a really long time.
People who passed roughly heard about what happened a few days ago and looked over with a weird gaze.
They could hear some giggling, some people said, “Lu Dingxing can’t even protect his own woman, allowing her to run away with his own sworn brother, haha…”
Even if Lu Dingxing didn’t like and was disgusted with Jiang Lengqing but after all they had a marriage agreement. Thus he couldn’t stop those rumors and insults.
He would probably be an after meal topic for the next ten years.
In the past to draw the Black QIlin Manor close to the Purple Qilin Manor, they found Loyal Top General Lu Yuanding to set a marriage. Now with him in jail and his life and death totally uncertain, the Black Qilin Manor acted like there was no such matter.
However this marriage agreement had long spread across Great Jiang City so how could they act like it didn’t exist.
“Boss I don’t care about the marriage at all. After all these rumors don’t mean much as compared to my father and Purple Qilin Manor’s future. I am just angry with how he betrayed your kindness like that and was able to say out such a preposterous reason like he was jealous and hated you for it. It was like he was right about it!”
Lu Dingxing couldn’t sit still and he gritted his teeth. He naturally understood what kind of destructive impact Su Qianyu who reached the Sixth Stage of the Martial Life Realm joining the Fire Qilin Manor before the Qilin Gathering would do to Purple Qilin Manor.
Jiang Zizai licked his lips and looked into the distance, “Each person has their own ambitions, there isn’t much to be said. In the future he just needs to be responsible for his choice. Let’s go back.”
“I can’t swallow this.” Lu Dingxing clenched his fists, his eyes covered in blood. It made his pair of black eye circles not so apparent.
“You have to swallow it even if you can’t. Someone whose heart changes can’t be pulled back. Maybe you two will meet during the gathering, at that time just make sure he regrets it.”
From the day of the God Worshipping Day, Jiang Zizai’s mental state had changed.
Times have changed too.
“I must cherish the time. If I can get to Stage Six then maybe I will have a chance.”
“Calm down and don’t rush things.” Jiang Zizai said.
“Boss don’t worry, I know what I am doing.”
Being too impulsive and anxious when cultivating would not have any benefits. No matter how desperate the situation is one must keep calm.
After the two of them returned to the manor, Lu Dingxing headed to cultivate.
Queen Ruohua was waiting for Jiang Zizai in the reading room.
“You went to find him?” A look of pain appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Zizai smiled and said, “Doin’t worry mother. Father told me once that there will be some experiences that will let me grow. As long as I can keep true to myself then everything is good.”
Ruohua was worried that he couldn’t take it and become rash.
When he said out those words, she felt at ease.
“I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse, at least Little Baby have grown up.” Ruohua was an emotional person and sometimes when she couldn’t take it she would also cry.
It was totally different from the domineering woman filled with killing intent on the Origin God PIllar.
However Jiang Zizai knew that this was the woman that his father adored for his entire life. She wasn’t that strong, however she had no choice but to step out to protect this family.
He really wanted her to not worry about anything, to admire the scenery and look at flowers, that was her hobby,
An ocean of flowers stretching hundred miles was planted behind the Great Jiang Manor, like that of a dream. That was Ruohua’s work, a land that stirred at her soul.
She shouldn’t have time to manage it recently.
“Oh right I prepared some battling techniques for you.”
Ruohua turned around and took out three books from the table. The pages of the books were all thin yellow gold. The words were carved onto so as to be able to preserve for a long time.
Totem Martial Masters needed two things the most.
First were cultivation methods, for example the Totem Setting Technique, Xuan Meridian Opening Technique. Apart from that there were many special cultivation methods like some who are able to affect the quality and features of the true qi. Or some that after cultivation could open up another spiritual orifice. There were endless amounts of such magical techniques.
However the cultivation methods were mainly used to improve.
Second would be battling techniques. Like the name suggests it was use to fight. It used the body and true qi to let even stronger combat strength explode out.
Be it cultivation methods or battling techniques, they were found out by Totem Martial Masters in history and then they passed it down. Such people were really helpful and kind.
Cultivation methods and Life Totems together with true qi were split into Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Huang.
But battling techniques were different. There were different grades too, simply placed into Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon, Star, Time.
Among which the Heaven Grade battling techniques were the strongest and the Time Grade battling techniques were the lowest.
Out of these six grades, each was split into low, middle and high.
Low Grade Time battling techniques were the most basic ones.
Top Grade Heaven battling techniques were the super batling techniques. It was said that they were left by the ancient god and mortals weren’t able to create it. Moreover they only existed in legends.
Spiritual medicine and spiritual mines, each were split into twelve grades.
Totems, cultivation, true qi into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang.
Battling techniques into Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon, Star, Time.
Ruohua thought it through and knew that Jiang Zizai was able to cultivate battling techniques at Stage Two of the Martial Life Realm.
She said, “Your totem’s situation is special. Your father and brother’s battling techniques are not that suitable. So I found these three that should be suitable for you.”
He took out the one at the top. The cover was purple and on it carved lightning. In the middle was a purple Qilin Totem which showed that this was a battling technique of the Purple Qilin Manor.
“This is the Lightning Finger, Low Grade Time techniuqe. It belongs to our Purple Qilin Manor and is the first battling technique that your brother cultivated. It has high requirements for control and will, suitable for the current you. It was also something your father planned for you. He said that if you could awaken a totem then the first battling technique you cultivated had to be this.”
Jiang Zizai nodded his head and picked it up like a treasure, he said, “I know, using pain to train ambition and will.”
He saw his elder brother train in this Lightning Finger. Ten fingers connected to the heart, that really was a case of pain reaching the heart. However once one completes it, its strength was really strong.
Then Ruohua took out a second book. This one was obviously not from Purple Qilin Manor as the cover was red. In the middle was a Fire Dragon Totem diagram.
“This is the battling technique of the Yanlong Emperor Race, Yanlong Emperor gave it to your father but no one was compatible. Today it is finally of some use.”
“This battling technique is a body technique and is called a Dragon Travelling Step. It is the basic travelling technique of the Yanlong Emperor Race. Although it is Middle Grade Time battling techniuqe but it is much simpler than an attacking technique. In just a short time you probably would be able to cultivate it.”
It was actually a battling technique of the Yanlong Emperor Race. Jiang Zizai saw the Fire Dragon Totem in the middle and his heart felt disgusted by it.
Of course he didn’t care about cultivating their battling technique to get strong.
What he awakened was a god dragon totem so actually the battling techniques and cultivation methods from Yanlong Emperor Race were most suitable for him.
He had both an attack and movement technique.
Ruohua had one more book in her hand, this book was the thickest.
“Who knew that our manor actually had such a battling technique.”
Jiang Zizai was slightly surprised. That was because the name of the Fire Dragon Heavy Fist was so famous around the entire Great Jiang City.
“When our relationship was better of course we sent gifts to one another.” Ruohua’s had a cold smile on her face.
Jiang Zizai noticed in, keeping this Fire Dragon Heavy Fist and asked, “Mother, father’s matter…’
Ruohua shook her head and said, “That is not within what we can control. Your mission is to cultivate, do you understand?”
Jiang Zizai knew that even if his mother knew something she wouldn’t tell it to him. That was because he was of no help.
She also needed to run all around for her husband and elder son to try to think of ways. Then she needed to hold up the Purple Qilin Manor to raise up this family.
“Okay!”
Holding all these battling techniques in his hand, he came to the Spirit Nurturing God Stone once more.
If he didn’t make use of the stone now then maybe after the Qililn Gathering he wouldn’t be able to touch it again.
His current goal was the Low Grade Time battling technique Lightning Finger as well as the Middle Grade Time movement technique Dragon Travelling Step.
He was prepared to culitvate the Lightning Finger too. This was created by the Purple Lightning King himself and the training on the mind and will was more important than that of the strength gained from the battling technique.
“The forefront of the battle is the finger.”
“Finger like lightning, further back, palm, fist, claw, all like lightning.”
“Lightning finger, gathering true qi, forging the ten fingers, using the Lightning Ringing Stone as support to train it up.”
“After it is completed, fingers would be able to thrust through stone!”
Lightning Ringing Stone was a Grade One spiritual mine. It was more common and something that Jiang Zizai’s little treasury had.
Usually when the lightnings from Heavens struck stone, it would easily create Lightning Ringing Stone. The Lightning Ringing Stone was filled with huge amounts of lightning. If normal people touched it they would be electrocuted to death.
Using it to forge a lightning finger, when the finger points out the lightning appears. Explosive power would be able to pass through stone, much less blood and flesh.
This Lightning Finger was a way to kill.
Finger was similar to a sharp sword.
Jiang Zizai prepared the Lightning Ringing Stone, putting one on the ground and holding one in his hand.
Before he started, he placed his finger fingers onto the Lightning Ringing Stone and was scorched by that of lightning.
Following which he used the other stone to smack down!
Right away Jiang Zizai understood what Jiang Junjian meant when he said that it was so painful he wanted to go back into mother’s womb.
Five fingers seemed like they became totally useless.
His body was twitching.
He was totally shocked by the Lightning Ringing Stone.
At the start Jiang Junjian relied on his faith and will to become someone like his father to persist.
Jiang Zizai did nothing and lived casually for so many years.
Now his will exceeded that of his brother because he had too many people that he wanted to save and protect.
So pain couldn’t stop his path ahead.
This was also his father’s battling technique. It was personally arranged by Jiang Yunting so he didn’t want to let his father down.
“There is no shortcut to becoming strong. If there is then one must have the will exceeding millions.”
In the past when Jiang Zizai asked the Purple Qilin King why he was so strong, this was the reply that Jiang Yunting gave him.
Determination!
Now he had a deeper understanding of those words.
He felt that he should add in the word “Belief”.
His current belief was stronger than his determination. Moreover belief could also help to grow determination and will.
Family facing huge changes, pillar collapsing!
Brother betraying him and being bullied by despicable people!
Three bloodlines being dark and dangerous, his mother in a tough situation.
As a male of the Jiang Family he could only grit his teeth.
Lightning Ringing Stone fell onto his finger time after time.
Suffering enough self hurt, he then trained the finger technique to try to hit the most perfect standards, to release the Black Dragon True Qi to the most precise and accurate level. Then the killing intent was the highest.
Lightning threads wrapped around on his ten fingers.
Actually Jiang Zizai felt that the Lightning Finger itself wasn’t tough but no one trained in it as it was too tough.
A few days ago his finger was already mashed. While he waited for new flesh to grow out he was studying the Dragon Travelling Step.
However he noticed that the details within were extremely profound and mysterious. It wasn’t so easy to comprehend it. He felt that he was an intelligent person, however at this moment his thoughts often faced roadblocks and stumbles.
He recognised all the words however when he mixed them all together he was unable to understand what they meant.
So he mainly spent his effort on training the Lightning Finger.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, each day he was so pain that he wanted to return to his mother’s womb. However in the end he persisted.
Luckily he was within the Spirit Nurturing God Stone. If others saw it they wouldn’t believe that this person who was crazily using Lightning Ringing Stone to torture himself was actually that Little Prince that didn’t care about anything much.
Occasionally he was simply too tired and directly took a nap within.
Sometimes he would view the totem to look at the little black dragon within the grey fog.
It was still chewing on the black flower petal, not moving at all.
Of course the totem itself couldn’t move if not it would be a live object.
Now Jiang Zizai was able to make the totem at his brow appear. It was a black dragon coiling around a flower petal.
That black dragon was dark and cold.
Suddenly there was one time when he was viewing when there was suddenly some words which appeared.
Another cultivation method!
Jiang Zizai actually didn’t expect that apart from the Primeval Saint Dragon Scripture there was something else.
Moreover it was even more mysterious.
