Holy Dragon Totem - Chapter 11
Guys please vote on NU thank youu.
Without a doubt this cultivation method wouldn’t appear for no reason.
It definitely came from that Black Dragon Totem.
When Jiang Zizai awakened from viewing the totem, the words in his mind started to become clear.
The shock his felt this time was actually exceeding that of the first time.
“Soul, this could actually be trained too?”
Based on what everyone knew, the soul was an ethereal thing like that of the Life Ocean. It wasn’t confirmed where it existed at and it what form that it was in.
However the cultivation method he got now wasn’t a Totem Setting Technique but a special cultivation method.
The main effect was actually to train the soul.
Its name was Void Universe Soul Training Technique.
Before this he felt that the Dragon Travelling Step was profound and mysterious. However compared to this one was in the Heavens and one was on Earth.
Even if it was mysterious, but he started studying from the front and noticed that it wasn’t difficult.
That was because the incantations of it was actually really short and simple. Its use was to make his soul enter a place known as the Void Universe.
It was a mysterious land which was even more mysterious than the Life Ocean.
It was a different concept from the normal world. It even might not even exist.
He knew that this soul training technique was a huge treasure and he would be find just following it and cultivating.
“What are the benefits if the soul is strong?”
He carried such curiosity, temporarily stopping the Lightning Finger and Dragon Travelling Step cultivation,
As his soul might leave his body which was why he had to find an absolutely safe space.
The entire process was like going into deep sleep and cultivating in one’s dream.
He chanted out the incantations and followed the requirements within to let his soul enter a half sleeping and half awaked state.
His hand formed a seal, his five hearts facing the sky.
At the start he wasn’t that precise and couldn’t grasp that special details. He could only roughly feel that there was a black mist which spread in front of him.
He knew that everything needed patience.
He persisted and there was finally a moment when there was a loud explosion in his mind. He noticed that he was now in a void.
Total darkness, there was nothing at all.
Even himself didn’t exist. He couldn’t feel his body and only his consciousness was floating in the void.
Apart from seeing, his consciousness could also hear.
At this time he heard the flowing water noises from below.
He looked downwards and saw a huge river. No one knew where the water came from and where it went towards.
“This is the Time River within the Void Universe.”
The technique introduced it.
It was said that the surface of the river was really calm and the deeper one went the more violent it was.
The initial part of this technique was to train the soul, allowing the river water to wash and cleanse one.
Until one day when one could reach the bottom of the river could one enter another realm.
Jiang Zizai was excited, directly jumping into this vast and endless Time River.
The pain of the soul and the pain of the body were two totally different things.
This was a bitter, stabbing and horrifying feeling.
It was even more unbearable than physical pain.
The river water on the surface was violent enough. the moment he went in he felt that he was going to drown.
“F*** it will be funny if I just die here.”
Jiang Zizai flipped and struggled. He didn’t have arms and legs but still had a feeling like he was using them both. He spent a lot of effort to finally be able to climb up.
Only then did the huge pain of the soul calm down.
“What is the use? It only makes one feel pain?”
He backed out of the Void Universe.
After he came out he noticed that nothing had happened. He even felt totally refreshed and filled with energy.
“No matter what it wouldn’t be weaker than the Primeval Saint Dragon Scripture.”
Time was of the essence, he continued to cultivate the Lightning Finger. Only when he couldn’t bear the pain did he try the Dragon Travelling Step.
Who knew that when he looked at the movement technique the second time, his mind was much clearer and many areas he didn’t understand before were understood right away
There were many processes of the Lightning Finger that became much clearer to him.
Jiang Zizai naturally thought back to the Void Universe Soul Training Technique he cultivated before.
“Did this technique improve my soul, actually improving my comprehension and making me smarter. It is easier to learn cultivation methods and battling techniques?”
He had such a conjecture. Following which he entered the Void Universe once more, to this empty world with nothing.
This time he seemed like he was on steroids, forcing himself to hold on in the Time River, allowing that river water that brought with it huge amounts of pain to crash onto his soul.
He could feel that among all this, his soul was getting stronger and firmer.
However it couldn’t exceed the maximum he could handle and he couldn’t go deep into the river.
One time he nearly wanted to sink downwards a little and his soul nearly dissipated.
“Maybe if I train for a long period of time then I can sink to the bottom.”
The water currents below were just too violent.
It was totally different from currents in real life.
After cultivating this time, his conjectures were proven.
He could feel that his soul and focus was more firm and his will was more steely. His mind was also much clearer.
He it comprehension or intelligence he was able to understand things fully. His ability to learn efficiently also rose up.
“There is a chance that the effectiveness of this is even higher than that of the Primeval Saint Dragon Scripture.”
He adjusted his cultivation style.
Each day he would take out two hours of time to train his soul. The rest he spent on the other two.
After he trained the soul he would study the battling technique. It would get simpler and simpler, in just a few days he fully understood the Dragon Travelling Step.
“Such comprehension ability, am I considered a true genius?”
The only difficulty would be the stabbing pain.
He had some small attainments in the Lightning Finger and it wasn’t so painful anymore.
The most terrifying torture was the vast Time River flow.
Half a month later he had great attainments in the Lightning Finger.
Jiang Zizai had saw his brother training in it before. The frictions of his finger could produce a purple lightning snake which wrapped around his fingers. At that time he was really envious.
That purple lightning flipped up and down, with a light dot a mortal would die.
However the Lightning Finger he used the same method to train was actually different.
At this moment when he stretched out his hands, when the Black Dragon True Qi spread across his palm, the finger which was trained by Lightning Ringing Stone and was destroyed and recovered several times didn’t have purple lightning around it.
It was black in color!
Black, sinister, dark lightning snake wrapped around his fingers. The amount was much more than when he saw Jiang Junjian practice it.
“Why do I feel that this black lightning is stronger than the purple one? It has a sort of destruction feel to it.”
He spread out his palm, the black lightning snake danced.
A fierce glow flashed in his eyes as he smashed down onto the Spirit Nurturing God Stone with a finger.
Crack!
This was a high grade spiritual mine, at this moment a hole was actually drilled in, cracks spreading about and pieces of stone exploded out.
“Its strength is much stronger than I expected.”
Jiang Zizai thought back to how a slap from him nearly made Jiang Junjian handicapped.
He felt that there was a chance that he underestimated his own strength.
The chances of the black lightning might have came from the totem or the Black Dragon True Qi.
He didn’t think too much about it. After the Lightning Finger was done he started to focus on the Dragon Travelling Step.
To say the truth with his soul continuously improving, this Middle Grade Time battling technique was unable to stop him.
The only difficulty was becoming familiar with it.
So he estimated that if he trained everyday he would be able to get it to the great success level before the Qilin Gathering.
He flew up and down around the narrow space of the stone, really like a dragon. This footsteps had many variations and it was tough to predict where he would land.
When he was at his fastest one couldn’t even see him clearly.
He really didn’t believe that he was such a swift and fast Totem Martial Master.
“If I am able to open up another Spiritual Orifice before the Qilin Gathering and reach the Third Stage, I will be able to help slightly.”
Now the pressure was all on Lu Dingxing.
However he was one stage below that of Su Qianyu.
Purple Qilin Manor had too few people in this generation. Apart from Lu Dingxing was the thirteen year old Ruo Xiaoyue,
Ruo Xiaoyue was actually much stronger than his own Sister Jiang Yunning. Her Life Totem was the Xuan Grade Pink Rose Totem.
At thirteen years old she reached the Fourth Stage of the Martial Life Realm, no weaker than Su Qianyu.
However her age was a disadvantage and she was two years younger.
As for Yellow Qilin Manor, their talented ones exceeded fifteen and were all learning at Yanlong Xu.
They were at a huge disadvantage for the Qilin Gathering.
However Jiang Zizai didn’t expect that at such a moment something would happen to Lu Dingxing.
When he got the news he stopped his cultivation and hurried to Loyal Top General’s General Manor.
Ruohua and the elders were all there, Yellow Qilin Manor Head Jiang Yuan was also there too.
That fellow followed Jiang Yunting in the past and relied on him to become a Manor Head. However he was too stable and focused too much on safety which was why the Purple Qilin King didn’t bring him out to wars.
When Jiang Zizai arrived, Ruohua and the others just left the room.
“What happened?”
Jiang Zizai asked. He had heard people say that he was injured by others and was probably going to become useless.
Ruohua pulled him to a side and said with concern, “Calm down nothing much happened. I used the Marrow Essence Jade Leek Flower to help protect his Shenque Acupoint. He just needs to rest for a period of time to recover. It won’t affect his future cultivation. However it is impossible for him to reach Stage Six before the Qilin Gathering.
That was a Grade Five spiritual medicine and was relatively expensive. Jiang Zizai had a small fortune but even if he sold them all it wouldn’t be enough to get one.
“Su Qianyu did that?”
When Jiang Zizai said the name, his voice was shaking from rage.
Ruohua nodded her head, “However Panda was the one who started it. He can just say he retaliated in self defence. Many people saw it so there is nothign we can do.”
At that time many people saw that Lu Dingxing suddenly attacked Su Qianyu and forced him back. In the end Su Qianyu had no choice but to stab his Shenque Acupoint with his sword.
“If not for me just nice having the flower he might not be able to cultivate for the rest of his life. Fortunately if not I would be really sorry to Lu Yuan, unable to protect his Son.”
Ruohua lowered her head and shook helplessly.
Now the three bloodline races were strong and bullied them. Lu Dingxing attacked first so even if nothing happened to the Purple Qilin King there wasn’t much they could do about it.
“Stabbing the Shenque Acupoint!”
Jiang Zizai laughed coldly in his heart.
A sworn brother who they spent so many years with actually purposely stabbed the Shenque Acupoint instead of any where else. It was obvious he wanted to end him.
“His heart is really vicious, it really is vicious.”
He really couldn’t imagine that his heart could be so vicious.
“Lu Dingxing is too simple and fell into traps easily. Su Qianyu had obvious laid out a trap for him and as expected he fell for it in just several words.”
Jiang Yuan walked over and sighed.
Jiang Zizai of course knew that Su Qianyu was bullying him for being simple. That was the reason he looked down on him.
To make him attack, Su Qianyu just needed to provoke him with a few words with what he had already down.
For example insulting Jiang Zizai.
Just that and Lu Dingxing wouldn’t be able to take it.
However at least Lu Dingxing was righteous and held brotherhood as a value in his heart. This was a quality that Su Qianyu could never have in his entire life.
“Su Qianyu, this debt has gotten heavier. How vicious.”
He actually purposely set up a trap before the gathering to make Lu Dingxing jump in.
Jiang Zizai’s eyes turned even colder.
“Like this we have definitely lost the Qilin Gathering.” Jiang Yuan sighed and walked away.
Ruohua was worried that Jiang Zizai would be rash and search for Su Qianyu.
“Mother I will go see him.”
Ruohua saw his gaze. Her Son was different. As such she retracted her concerned words.
Sometimes it was important to trust your children.
After entering he saw Lu Dingxing’s ashen white face as he laid on the bed like he had just gone through a huge illness.
“Boss I lost face for you!”
Lu Dingxing struggled to stand up when he saw Jiang Zizai enter.
“Lay still.” Jiang Zizai rested on the side of the bed and folded his arms.
Sometimes he really felt heart pained for that fellow. He was too sincere and easily taken advantage of by others.
However it also let him understand how valuable his pure heart was.
“In the past I like to be with Monkey more and felt that it was tough to speak to you. Only now I know who is the true brother.” Jiang Zizai mocked himself.
Lu Dingxing gritted his teeth and said, “I am totally disappointed with him. He actually wanted to turn my into a handicap just for the Qilin Gathering!”
He could only said that his heart turned cold.
“If one still has hopes for him now then one is really a fool.” Jiang Zizai said.
There was no more hope, only thick hatred.
“I will change my habit of being rash! I was just too furious! Brother I lost face for you! What is going to happen at the Qilin Gathering now?” Lu Dingxing trembled and said.
Jiang Zizai patted his shoulder, “It is still far away. Stay alive and time will give us the answer.”
Lu Dingxing blamed himself too much in his heart.
His responsibility was originally the highest anyways.
“From today on move over to my side, I will let you use the Spirit Nurturing God Stone to cultivate.” Jiang Zizai said.
The Qilin Gathering was just a month later and now was time for the final sprint.
“With us brothers together no matter how many opponents and how strong they are, we will just have fun fighting and don’t let ourselves down. How about that?” Jiang Zizai placed his hands on his shoulder and stared at him.
“Understood! Like what we said at the start, we weren’t born on the same day but let’s die on the same day!”
Jiang Zizai shook his head, “Let’s forget about that. The person who said that along with you just set a trap for you to wipe your cultivation out. Trust in what I have to say!”
“What?”
“F*** his mother!”
