My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 755: The Unseen Vision Technique
In Tushan, within a courtyard full of birdsong and floral fragrance, Qin Feng found a stone platform. He took out a variety of pastries and sweets from his storage ring and laid them out.
Gong Cang approached and, upon seeing this, curiously asked, “What are you doing?”
“Offering sacrifices,” Qin Feng responded.
Gong Cang, not understanding, continued to watch. He saw Qin Feng tightly hold a leaf as dark as jade in his hand. Soon, a green thunderbolt shimmered before him, and a ripple appeared in the void, opening a rift to the Netherworld.
In the dim world beyond, a dense ghostly aura rushed forth.
Swish!
A giant ghostly claw shot out with lightning speed, taking all the sweets on the stone table.
The suddenness of the event startled Gong Cang, causing cold sweat to form on his forehead.
Even Commander Fu, who had stepped into the transcendence realm, could not be compared to the oppressive feeling brought by the huge ghost claws.
He could hardly imagine how terrifying the owner of that ghostly claw must be.
Once the green thunder dissipated and the rift in space vanished, Gong Cang asked, “Who was the owner of that ghostly claw?”
“As I mentioned earlier, when I was in Suiyang City, my two senior brothers used their abilities to send me into the Netherworld Realm to find the Farshore Flower. During that time, I encountered many unforeseen events.”
“If it weren’t for the Ghost Lord’s intervention, it was uncertain whether I could have survived and returned to this world.”
“Is that the Ghost Lord?” Gong Cang’s face was filled with astonishment.
Qin Feng nodded slightly. “Offering regular tributes is my way of expressing gratitude and maintaining our relationship.”
He added to himself, “I’m not just flattering; it’s about repaying kindness.”
Although Qin Feng spoke casually, Gong Cang’s heart was stirred by a tidal wave of emotions.
He took a serious look at Qin Feng, thought deeply, and then sighed, “I’ve heard about your rise to prominence. In just a few years, you have gained such a power that most people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.”
Qin Feng was slightly surprised. “What do you mean by that?”
“With the Heavenly Tower National Teacher as your mentor, Liu Jianli and the female from the Azure Dragon lineage as your wives, and good relationships with many high-ranking members of the Demon Slaying Department.”
“Now you can even communicate with the Ghost Lord. Looking around the world, how many can compare with you?”
Qin Feng realized the truth in those words.
‘I have been accumulating connections for a long time, I didn’t realize how powerful I’ve become.’
‘If this were the modern world from my past life, my daughter would be living in a doghouse, and with one word from me, a hundred thousand soldiers would shout, ‘The Dragon King has returned.’’
‘Hmm, in this life, my son would live in a doghouse, and with one command, my two wives would handle everything.’
Qin Feng couldn’t bear to make his daughter live in a doghouse. As for his son, he thought it’s important for him to endure hardship when he’s young; all men go through this. Qin Feng felt justified in his thoughts.
“Oh, right, Lord Gong, could you do me a favor?”
“Please go ahead,” Gong Cang replied.
“Although I’ve been in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage for quite some time, I haven’t had many opportunities to perform divinations for others. Since I currently have some time, could I perform a divination for you? I want to see how accurate my divinations are,” Qin Feng said sincerely.
“Of course. What do I need to do?” Gong Cang asked.
“You just need to stand here for a while,” Qin Feng said.
“That’s simple enough,” Gong Cang remarked.
Once the words were spoken, Qin Feng began to focus his mind.
The Heavenly Divination Technique comprises two methods: the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique and the Star Observation Technique.
Typically, Qin Feng did not often use the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique. With his Dual Pupil Ability, he could clearly perceive the internal energies of a person, making the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique somewhat redundant.
As for the Star Observation Technique, he had only rarely used it.
Firstly, he was busy cultivating and advancing his skill, leaving him with little time to focus on divination.
Secondly, his teacher’s presence made it unnecessary for him to spend effort on such methods.
After all, if the world were a chessboard, all beings would be mere pieces on it.
Only the Heavenly Tower National Teacher could play the role of the chess master, facing the hidden enemy in a game of strategy.
Past experiences proved that following his teacher’s guidance was always the right choice, and it led him to make rapid progress in his cultivation and ensured the survival of mankind in times of danger.
However, the words of the City God had made Qin Feng understand that the constant use of divination had taken a toll on his teacher’s body.
Someone needed to share this burden.
For this reason, Qin Feng decided to practice divination at this moment.
As he focused his mind, the Platinum Destiny Star within his Divine Sea emitted a stream of Clear Qi that shot upward through his eyes.
Qin Feng felt a nebulous connection with something beyond his comprehension.
‘Could it be the heavenly dao?’ he wondered.
His eyes reflected a galaxy of stars as he turned his gaze to Gong Cang.
A few scenes flashed before his eyes, and Qin Feng’s expression became strange.
“Did you see anything?” Gong Cang asked curiously.
“Lord Gong, you are about to face a calamity involving bloodshed,” Qin Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Gong Cang furrowed his brow. “Is it related to that mysterious entity in the extreme western region?”
Qin Feng stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said, “Some things are not meant to be revealed. When the time comes, you will know naturally.”
As Gong Cang seemed about to ask more questions, Qin Feng quickly held his forehead and swayed slightly. “Divining the heavenly secrets took a great toll on me. I need to rest for a while, so I’ll take my leave now.”
With that, he hurriedly departed.
Gong Cang raised his hand, wanting to say something, but then stopped himself. What kind of divination was that? Knowing the result made him more anxious than if he hadn’t known at all, as he now had to be on constant guard.
Just then, two figures gracefully descended from the sky, they were Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan.
The latter asked, “Where is my husband?”
“He’s a little tired and went to find a place to rest. Didn’t you two go to find Chief Tianyue for a friendly spar?”
Upon hearing this, Cang Feilan said indifferently, “That vixen dodged us by claiming she’s preparing to advance to the Transcendence Realm.”
Vixen. Gong Cang made no comment. On his way here, he had noticed that these two did not seem to get along with Su Tianyue.
“I see. After reaching the third-grade realm, advancing to each major realm requires careful preparation to be made to face the test of the power of heaven and earth.”
“Chief Tianyue is likely conserving her energy to confirm her dao, which is quite understandable.”
Saying this, he intended to find a quiet place to rest for a while.
But then Cang Feilan spoke up again, “This is a rare opportunity. Since we have nothing else to do, why not have a sparring match?”
“Sparring…” Gong Cang looked up at the sky. It was already late, with the moon high in the sky.
Originally, he wanted to conserve his energy to prepare for a potential major battle, but such an opportunity was too rare to pass up.
Divine Martial Warriors value advancing through battle with courage and training, but worthy opponents are rare in the world.
Moreover, Liu Jianli was the youngest Sword God in The Great Qian’s history. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Gong Cang knew he was not her equal.
If he could gain some insight through sparring, it would greatly benefit his cultivation and might even help him break through his current bottleneck.
After some thought, Gong Cang agreed: “Alright.”
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan exchanged glances.
The latter made the first move.
“Please teach me,” she said simply. Then, surrounded by lightning, she charged at Gong Cang.
Bang!
In an instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled.
Qin Feng, who had found a quiet corner, heard the commotion and sighed, “Lord Gong, you have a tough job ahead of you.”
In the divination images, he clearly saw Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan taking turns against Gong Cang, who struggled to defend himself and ultimately ended up wounded.
It’s not surprising—Su Tianyue was preparing for a breakthrough, so she wouldn’t have time to spar with Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan.
However, the two wives had been pregnant for ten months and had not fought in a while, so they were eager for battle. That fighting spirit naturally had to be unleashed on Gong Cang.
Moreover, on the way here earlier today, Gong Cang had mistakenly thought that Su Tianyue was his wife. Regardless of how Liu Jianli felt about it, Cang Feilan was sure to remember.
All in all, even without divination, it was easy to predict this outcome.
Disregarding the tremors, Qin Feng calmed his mind and began to review the details of his earlier Star Observation Technique.
“I initially wanted to use Lord Gong to gain insight into the possible changes occurring in the extreme western region, but all I was able to foresee was this. As expected, divination may be easy to start, but mastering it is not.”
The deeper he delved into it, the more Qin Feng realized the remarkable skills of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher. In a world like this, protecting humanity for so long was not something just anyone could achieve.
“By the way, I should ask Senior Xuan Yi if there is a way to improve my divination skills.”
Qin Feng directed his mind into his Divine Sea and called forth Senior Xuan Yi at the Heart Questioning Platform.
A white, ethereal figure floated in the air. Knowing the situation, Xuan Yi responded, “The art of divination varies from person to person. The fact that you can successfully perform the Star Observation Technique each time already indicates your talent.”
“However, with such a short cultivation time, wanting to improve your skill while also focusing on cultivation is not an easy task.”
“But, listening to your divination for that person, I thought of a method that might be suitable for you.”
“What method?”
“The Unseen Vision Technique.”
Seeing Qin Feng’s confusion, Xuan Yi explained, “The Unseen Vision Technique is also a form of the Star Observation Technique, but what it can foresee are only the few moments that will happen around you.”
“Do you remember that profound state when you used Divine Might?”
Qin Feng nodded. He certainly remembered it, time and space seemed to have stopped, and everything around him appeared to move in slow motion.
“Could it be that the Unseen Vision Technique has similarities with the state of Divine Might?”
“It’s somewhat similar but not the same. Divine Might is an unparalleled Immortal Technique passed down from the Immortal Realm. In that state, you can almost achieve unity with the heavens, seeing through everything and avoiding any potential danger.”
“The Unseen Vision Technique, on the other hand, gives you the ability to foresee briefly, allowing you to know ahead of time where danger will come from. Do you understand?”
Qin Feng roughly grasped the concept. Perhaps like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, if he mastered the Unseen Vision Technique, he might also be able to dodge bullets with exaggerated moves?
It sounded quite appealing to him. Qin Feng immediately said, “Please teach me, senior.”
The night passed swiftly. Although they were supposed to rest, only a few of them managed to sleep.
Qin Feng withdrew his consciousness from his Divine Sea and then exhaled lightly. “The Unseen Vision Technique is indeed a form of the Star Observation Technique, but it consumes too much mental energy.”
“However, the hard work of this night was not in vain. At least I comprehended about sixty to seventy percent of it. I wonder how things went on the other side.”
He turned around and saw that Tushan was calm, suggesting that the sparring match had already ended.
Qin Feng returned to the courtyard and immediately saw Gong Cang, sitting cross-legged and covered in dust, adjusting his internal energy.
Hearing the commotion, Gong Cang looked over, his expression complicated. “Is this what you meant by calamity involving bloodshed?”
Qin Feng smiled awkwardly. “I did tell you that when the time came, Lord Gong would naturally understand.”
On the other side, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan rested with their eyes closed, focusing on their breathing and energy.
Their condition was clearly better than Gong Cang’s, and their aura seemed even stronger than the day before.
Seeing this, Gong Cang couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “I originally hoped that sparring with them would help me break through my bottleneck, but unexpectedly, they gained more insights.”
“I can clearly sense that their auras seem to have reached a state of natural perfection. They are likely not far from reaching the second-grade realm.”
Qin Feng activated his Dual Pupil Ability to observe his two wives, and it was just as Gong Cang had said, causing him a shock.
The window of opportunity due to the ten-month pregnancy period wasn’t something that could be easily overcome, no matter how talented his two wives were. There were some things that still needed time to compensate.
The reason Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan were able to make such rapid progress was due to the constant flow and refinement of the black and white energy within their bodies, continuously tempering their souls and physical forms.
‘The Dao of Yin-Yang may be even more profound than I had anticipated,’ Qin Feng thought to himself.
He turned to Gong Cang and asked, “Have you never considered giving up one field and specializing in another?”
In martial cultivation, quality is preferred over quantity. Just as a warrior who is practicing the body refinement path would avoid the weapon path, a warrior focused on the weapon path would only focus on mastering one particular weapon.
A person’s focus is ultimately limited; attempting to be skilled in all areas isn’t realistic.
Gong Cang sighed and replied, “I know the reasoning behind it; even Commander Fu advised me to specialize in one weapon.”
“However, after sticking to it for so many years, how could I give up now?”
“Actually, I think you could approach it differently,” Qin Feng suggested.
“What approach?” Gong Cang asked curiously.
“Blade techniques can be applied to sword weapons, and sword techniques can be applied to blade weapons. Since you insist on mastering both the blade and sword, why not forego the fifth intent of weapon mastery and prioritize technique over intent?”
“This way, although you may not reach the pinnacle of either blade or sword, you should still be able to overcome the bottleneck of the third-grade realm.”
Gong Cang was taken aback and silently repeated Qin Feng’s words to himself, as if a realization had struck him.
His focus on achieving the fifth intent of blade and sword mastery—the Realm of Myriad God—had caused him to expend too much effort, hindering his progress.
Following Qin Feng’s suggestion to prioritize technique over intent could potentially resolve his current dilemma.
“Qin Feng, I owe you one,” Gong Cang said.
As he spoke, Tushan suddenly shuddered, and the sky above it erupted in a burst of iridescent colors!
The commotion was so intense that it was visible even from thousands of miles away.
Fu Ruoyun’s expression was one of shock: “The tribulation of the Dao—the transcendence realm—someone is about to ascend! That is the direction of Tushan…”
