Cultivating the Divine Art Wrong, Wreaking Havoc on the Jianghu – Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Pressure and Compulsion

“What’s this?” Jiang Ning asked warily.

What’s the point of taking out a secret manual at this time?

After practicing it, you will become a True Person Realm martial artist?

What a joke?

If there was such a method, why wouldn’t Hua Xiaomei practice it himself and share it instead?

“There are two supplementary mental methods recorded here.” Hua Xiaomei said:

“One is called 《Sword Heart Clarity》, which emphasizes visualizing a sword mirror, dividing one’s heart into multiple sword hearts, and finally merging multiple sword hearts into one to attain the true self sword heart and reach the True Person Realm!”

“The other is called 《Clear Sword Heart》, which also involves visualizing a sword mirror, dividing one’s heart into multiple parts, and then slaying the divided sword hearts. Finally, the heart is flawless, and one understands the true self and becomes a True Person Realm martial artist!”

“Both sound strange!” Xiong Ba, who was squatting in the corner watching a gecko, suddenly said.

“Silly Bear is quite pertinent this time.” Jiang Ning said, she had calmed down.

“Indeed! There are many contradictions!” Hua Xiaomei said: “But this is indeed my elder brother’s handwriting, written by him personally.”

“I’ve also found someone to try practicing it.” He added.

“How was it?” Jiang Ning said.

As long as martial arts manuals involve visualization, it becomes difficult to speculate. Only after someone practices it can you know the results.

“I found two people to practice, one at See the Truth, and one at Qi Sea.” Hua Xiaomei said: “They both became very strong in a short period, even breaking through their realms.”

Naturally, he wouldn’t find a Zhoutian martial artist to practice it. Firstly, Hua Family didn’t have anyone at Zhoutian to practice this, and secondly, what if they really reached the True Person Realm?

“But then?” Jiang Ning asked.

Others became stronger, but Hua Xiaomei didn’t practice it, indicating a problem, something that made him apprehensive.

“But they became a bit strange, more stubborn, more difficult to control…” Hua Xiaomei recalled: “The one who broke through from See the Truth to Qi Sea was still okay, just his style of doing things suddenly changed.”

“After the other one broke through from Qi Sea to Zhoutian, he, who was originally loyal, actually wanted to betray the Hua Family and even dared to attack me!”

“He suddenly became very difficult to handle. If it weren’t for the fact that he practiced 《Dark Spring Divine Shadow Record》, I might not have been able to subdue him.”

“Therefore, the mental methods recorded in this secret manual can really make people break through to the True Person Realm, but they might make people become strange.”

“I couldn’t make up my mind before because I knew I still had time and opportunities to break through to the True Person Realm, and I didn’t need to practice such a strange mental method.”

“Now! I’ve decided!” Hua Xiaomei said with hatred in his voice: “I, a member of the dignified Hua Family, how can I be defeated by a nobody? How can I be forced to plane wood!”

“I can’t stand it!”

“Only his death can wash away this shame!”

He was a proud person. He could chat and laugh with Shi Feizhe, who was like a beggar, because he wanted to find a sense of satisfaction from the beggar.

It was a strange feeling. The things he casually discarded were things that a beggar could only dream of in his entire life.

He would watch and savor the feeling of the beggar struggling for his entire life, never achieving it, that feeling of struggling but not getting what he wanted.

This feeling made him addicted, like wine.

Just like when he first met Shi Feizhe, he casually dropped the news of Three Talents Manor, making Shi Feizhe work hard to reach Three Talents Manor.

The second time he saw Shi Feizhe, he casually taught him the 《Dark Spring Divine Shadow Record》. Then he left everything to time, waiting for Shi Feizhe to work hard in the Jianghu. Then he would consume Shi Feizhe, this grand medicine!

At that time, Shi Feizhe’s pained and desperate expression, mixed with his Nether True Qi, would give Hua Xiaomei the ultimate pleasure.

This was the kind of Jianghu that was interesting!

Now… he was the self-righteous clown in Shi Feizhe’s eyes!

Shi Feizhe might have known long ago that 《Dark Spring Divine Shadow Record》 was a Grand Medicine technique and didn’t practice it at all.

At Three Talents Manor, he was just pretending to be stupid and playing with him.

Hehe…

He treated others like fools, but he didn’t know that others were also making fun of him.

Shame!

✿✿✿

Too shameful!

The immense sense of shame burned in his heart like a fire, distorting his features.

He said word by word: “Now I’m going to try practicing this, try breaking through to True Person! Then kill him!”

He couldn’t deal with Shi Feizhe without reaching the True Person Realm!

Could it be that he had to ask his elder brother to step in because of this small matter?

Would his elder brother laugh at him for being like a child?

How would the others in Hua Family see him?

“Therefore, I’m not breaking through to the True Person Realm for your Jiang Family, but taking a risk to break through for myself!” Hua Xiaomei said: “If I really break through to True Person and take back the manor!”

“I want seventy percent!” He said.

“Okay!” Jiang Ning looked at the nameless technique without raising her head.

Hua Xiaomei wanted to kill Shi Feizhe, didn’t she want to kill him too?

A large hand closed the secret manual in her hand. It was Xiong Ba.

“Wife, let me see.” Xiong Ba walked over from the corner, took the secret manual, and said.

“Huh? You also want to break through to True Person?” Jiang Ning didn’t understand what Xiong Ba meant.

Xiong Ba didn’t speak, just briefly glanced at the secret manual.

“I won’t bother you two anymore!” Seeing them still flirting at this time, Hua Xiaomei turned his head and left the room.

The sword energy at his heart meridian reminded him that he… had to go plane wood!

One has to lower one’s head under the eaves.

This was the second time he felt restrained since he talked to his father at the age of eighteen!

Shi Feizhe, really deserved to die!

After Hua Xiaomei left, Xiong Ba closed the secret manual and said: “Wife, there’s a problem with this, it’s better not to practice it.”

“Will practicing it make one a True Person?” Jiang Ning asked.

“After practicing it, you might not be human anymore.” Xiong Ba said in a serious tone.

“Hehe…” Jiang Ning chuckled softly.

She understood the underlying meaning of Xiong Ba’s words. This technique might allow one to break through to True Person, but it might also make one abnormal.

《Questioning Heart Hammer》 was a technique that directly aimed at the realm above True Person, she didn’t need to practice this strange secret manual.

But… Jiang Ning still wanted to practice it!

Just now, she had already read the first half of 《Sword Heart Clarity》.

After all, it was just a mental method manual, relatively short.

She wanted to practice it, become a True Person Realm martial artist, and beat Shi Feizhe to death!

As for the possibility of becoming abnormal, she felt she could control it!

After Hua Xiaocheng practiced it, he was not only normal, but he also defeated Hua Chonglang, becoming a famous, even the number one expert in the world!

If practicing martial arts couldn’t follow her own heart, then what was the point of her practicing?

Wouldn’t it be better for her to marry Xiong Ba and become the mistress of the Xiong Family?

She also wanted to test the world with her fists and defeat one opponent after another who hindered her climb to the peak.

How could she be stopped by Shi Feizhe, by the chasm of the True Person Realm?

All of it, all of it, required her to become a True Person Realm martial artist first!

Because in the Jianghu, only True Person Realm was considered human.

The rest, were not human.

Can someone count how many versions of manuals have been derived from the 《Thoughtless Divine Separation Formula》 of the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect? One manual can derive so many, so one can imagine the chaotic state of manuals in the Jianghu. Therefore, this book really doesn’t have Lovecraftian elements!
