Journey to Slaughter God - C29
He looked at the old man in a daze and pointed at himself, laughing dryly, “Senior, please don’t make fun of this junior. Senior, with your great strength, you should have chosen an even more outstanding young genius to inherit your skills. Why did you choose me? “Moreover, my strength is only at the Second Stage of Body Refinement, and I’m not even at the Spirit Accumulation Realm.”
The old man sighed and said, “If I can get out of this damn place, I’d rather pick a better one. However, my end is near, and I really can’t wait any longer. Therefore, I can only choose you.”
The corners of Shi Ling’s mouth twitched when he heard this. Although Shi Ling had said that he was not worthy to be his disciple, that was only on the surface. However, this old fellow was clearly telling Shi Ling, if I had a choice, would I want you?
The old man then asked, “What’s your name?”
Shi Ling thought for a moment before replying, “My name is Shi Youtian.”
The old man nodded his head after hearing this and felt that this name was not bad. He heard the old man suddenly roar out, then he waved his hand and saw several iron chains shooting towards Shi Ling. As the difference in their strength was too great, Shi Ling had no way to dodge them.
With a ‘putong’ sound, Shi Ling immediately knelt in front of the old man, forcing him to accept him as his disciple. The old man then said, “This old man, Limitless, has now accepted you as my direct disciple. You shall be the sole successor of my Limitless Faction!”
As soon as he finished his words, Limitless Heaven pulled Shi Ling in front of him and smacked down with his palm towards Shi Ling’s head. In the next moment, a violent stream of information flooded into Shi Ling’s mind, and Shi Ling felt as if a lot of words had suddenly appeared in his mind.
Bang. Shi Ling’s body was sent flying by a palm strike from Limitless Heaven. After that, there was a loud rumbling sound as the mountain wall shattered.
At this moment, Shi Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire face turned incomparably pale. At this moment, Limitless Heaven slowly stopped his training, and looked towards Shi Ling who was lying on the ground, “Stand up.”
At this moment, Shi Ling coughed violently. He was already cursing in his heart. Was this how people accepted disciples? You are f * cking robbing others, forcing them to become your disciples.
At this moment, Shi Ling wiped the corner of his mouth with one hand and stood up, his body still on the verge of collapse, as if he could collapse at any moment. Then, he heard the old man say: “Master has already imbued into your body the cultivation method of our sect’s secret technique, the ‘Heavy Buddha Palm’. From today onwards, you will be the inheritor of the Everlasting lineage!”
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling opened his mouth and said, “No, aren’t you being a little too hasty!” A direct disciple! And there’s also that unique bloodline technique. You passed it down to me, a little person who you just met for less than two hours? ”
Limitless snorted and said: “I have my own reasons for doing what I do. All you need to do now is listen to my arrangements.”
He didn’t know why he was secretly cursing in his heart, why did such a thing happen to him. However, it was quickly relieved to see, as the saying goes, fortune is not a disaster, a disaster cannot be avoided. Since this sort of thing had already happened to him, he might as well accept it.
At this moment, he could only clasp his hands toward the old man, kneel on one knee, and say, “This little disciple is Shiyu Tian, I pay my respects to Master!”
When Limitless heard this, he nodded his head and looked at Shi Ling with a hint of gratification in his eyes. He immediately said, “Since you are now a disciple of my Everlasting Faction, from today onwards, you cannot study the cultivation techniques of the other factions in the Spirit Sword Sect. Otherwise, I will not let you off lightly!”
Shi Ling nodded in agreement. At the same time, Shi Ling began to ponder about something. It was the Everlasting School mentioned by Everlasting Heavens. Shi Ling felt that he had heard of this sect somewhere before.
At this time, Limitless said, “Now try out the cultivation technique Master has passed to you.”
Shi Ling nodded his head in agreement. Then, he stood up and pondered over the words in his mind. Following the instructions written in the words, he began circulating them.
With a palm strike from Limitless, a ray of light enveloped Shi Ling. He then heard Limitless say, “Follow the cultivation technique’s requirements and release your strength. Master will come to see how talented you are!”
Shi Ling nodded in acknowledgement before slowly lifting his hand. With his palm facing the sky, a thin palm shadow slowly took shape.
Limitless Heaven looked at the formed palm image and muttered in his heart, “The Buddha Desire Mountain Palm is extremely demanding on a cultivator’s physique. As long as this kid’s palm image can reach the fourth peak, then in the future, he can be nurtured. If not, then.”
Immediately, Limitless glanced at the pile of bones behind him.
If, in fact, Shi Ling knew that before him, there were actually many people who had come to this place before, and had also gone through the so-called ceremony of taking a master. However, because they did not meet the requirements of the Boundless Heavens, they all died at the hands of the Boundless Heavens.
At that moment, the palm image of Shi Ling’s raised hand was constantly floating, and under the expectant gaze of Limitless Heaven, a second palm appeared.
“The second peak!”
Immediately, he frowned, revealing a worried look on his face. Before Shi Ling, there were many people who had reached this level, but after that, they were unable to condense a third palm shadow. Thus, he was already used to this scene.
At the same time, Limitless Heaven instinctively controlled the iron chains around him to aim at Shi Ling. Once Shi Ling was unable to condense a third palm, those iron chains would instantly shoot towards him.
However, what caused Limitless to be somewhat surprised was that after the second palm image disappeared, a third light appeared, followed by a third palm image.
This meant that Shi Ling had already reached the third peak. Although a few people had formed three palm shadows in the past few decades, they were only a few, and most of them were at the fourth level of Refinement or the fifth level of Refinement, the Bone Transformation stage. As for the current Shi Ling, who was only at the second level of Body Refinement, he had also reached the third peak.
At this moment, Limitless’ eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at Shi Ling’s raised hand. At this moment, his heart was filled with anticipation, hoping that the little fellow before him would give him a big surprise.
The chains surrounded Shi Ling, protecting him without affecting him.
At this moment, a drop of cold sweat fell from Shi Ling’s forehead, as if he was enduring an immense amount of pain. He gritted his teeth, and the image of the fourth palm gradually appeared on his hand before disappearing.
This faintly discernible feeling almost made Limitless Heavens have a heart attack. He immediately clenched his hands.
However, it was at this moment that Shi Ling suddenly threw his head back and roared. He then opened his eyes, and a pair of blue eyes appeared before him.
When Limitless Heaven saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment. He did not know why Shi Ling would have such a sudden reaction. However, he was ecstatic to see a fourth palm image appear on Shi Ling’s palm.
“Fourth peak!”
The ecstasy on his face was not concealed at all. He had been searching for so many years, killing so many people, just so he could find a successor who could condense a fourth palm image. And today, the person he was looking for, had actually appeared in front of him.
However, before he could finish rejoicing, a fifth palm shadow appeared in Shi Ling’s hand above the fourth palm image. Limitless Heaven was dumbfounded, how many palm shadows appeared meant that the cultivator’s compatibility with the cultivation method was extremely high, and being able to condense the fourth palm image was already an initial step in cultivation. What did the fifth palm shadow mean? He did not know, and had never seen before!
However, what was even more shocking was that after the fifth palm strike appeared a sixth, then a seventh, an eighth, and a ninth!
A total of nine palm shadows, what did this mean? It meant the power of the ninth peak!
He stared blankly at Shi Ling, his breathing becoming heavier. Then, he saw Shi Ling’s eyes suddenly close, and the shadow of his palm instantly disappear. Then, his entire body fell to the ground.
However, just as Shi Ling was about to fall to the ground, a metal chain wrapped around his body and gently dragged him up.
After that, he smiled and stroked his beard as he muttered to himself, “Old thief Nan Gong, that day you bullied my juniors and killed my son, trapping me in this damned place for over ten years!”
As Empyrean Limitless said this, he looked over at Shi Ling, his eyes filled with gentleness. He muttered to himself, “In the future, when this little fellow matures, it will surely take the place of your Spirit Sword Sect Sovereign!”
“…”
The first time Shi Ling opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on a large green rock and felt the gentle energy flowing into his body from the stone, causing his tired body to quickly recover.
As soon as Shi Ling stood up, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the pile of bones. Then, he looked around but didn’t see where Limitless had gone to and wanted to get off the bed.
But at this moment, a voice rang out, “Your body has not fully recovered yet. You should lie on the bed for a while.”
Shi Ling looked towards the source of the voice and saw Limitless sitting on a mat made of several iron chains above his head. Then, he jumped down from the mat and arrived in front of Shi Ling.
At this time, Shi Ling touched his head with one hand and asked, “Teacher, why is my head a little dizzy?”
At this time, in the hands of Limitless Heaven, a jar of wine appeared out of nowhere. He removed the sealed mud, and then poured out a bowl of wine.
Immediately, a strong aroma of alcohol wafted into the air. Limitless brought the wine in his hand over to Shi Ling and said, “Drink this.”
Shi Ling took it and looked at the wine, then looked at the Boundless Heavens. He thought to himself, Could there be poison here? However, he didn’t think so. The other party was so much stronger than him, and it would be too easy for him to be killed. Why did he need to go through so much trouble to poison him?
He drank the wine in one gulp and could feel that the wine was made from many precious herbs. The taste was very light, but once he swallowed it, it gave off an inexplicable sweetness and a sense of endless aftertaste.
With his hands behind his back, Limitless Heaven said, “Yan Zhitian, now that you have cultivated the Limitless Sword Sect’s secret technique, the Buddha’s Mandate, the Great Mountain Palm, you are the descendant of the Everlasting School. However, I must warn you.”
At this point, Shi Ling raised his head and asked, “What?”
Limitless Heaven said, “Unless one is a disciple of my Limitless Faction, one cannot impart the Tathagata Mountain Palm to anyone else. Otherwise, it will lead to certain death.”
Shi Ling put down the wine cup in his hand, not quite understanding the meaning behind Limitless Heaven’s words. Immediately, he said, “I’m stupid, please enlighten me, Master.”
Limitless pointed to those bones and said, “Do you know where those bones came from?”
Shi Ling turned around to take a look before shaking his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Limitless Heaven said, “They are all my disciples, just like you. It’s just that when they were condensing the palm shadow of the Heavy Mountain Palm, they did not meet the requirements and thus were killed by me!”
He wanted to maintain some distance from Limitless Heaven, but Limitless Heaven seemed to have already guessed his reaction. He said, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you now, and you shouldn’t think that what I’m doing is too inhumane. In the future, when you want to find the inheritor, you must do the same thing!”
He immediately said, “Since they have already become your disciples, you should take responsibility for them. Even if their stupidity does not meet your requirements, do you have to completely exterminate them?”
At this time, Limitless Heaven heard the anger in Shi Ling’s words. He sighed and said, “Because we are a direct disciple of the same family. Once it is confirmed that this person is not suitable to practice our absolute art, we must kill him.
Shi Ling paused for a moment before saying, “Is there really no way to find the right successor without recklessly killing the innocent?”
Limitless shook his head and said, “No.”
He then turned around and looked at Shi Ling, “Only when he becomes a disciple of my Everlasting School will I be able to pass down the cultivation method to him, and only after he has started, will I be able to see if he is suitable. If he is suitable, then I will choose him as my successor.
At this moment, Limitless Heaven sat down beside Shi Ling and said, “When you become the inheritor of the Everlasting School, you must make it clear that cultivation techniques are used to select people, not people. If possible, no one would be willing to kill those innocent lives.”
When Shi Ling heard this, he finally understood why this old man was so anxious to take him in as a disciple and even taught him their secret arts. If he could not meet his requirements, he would be killed instantly. “Then I won’t be your disciple,” he said shamelessly when he thought about the possibility of him becoming such a person in the future.
However, the Limitless Heaven sneered and said: “The Buddha Desire Mountain Palm has already chosen you. From today onwards, you will not be able to cultivate any other techniques! Moreover, your body has already been branded with the imprint of the Everlasting School, and you will never be able to escape! “
