Chapter 73: What Kind of Crappy Technique?
“Hurry up and tell us! Don’t keep us in suspense!” someone shouted angrily. “What time is it!”
“The first solution, this is the Great Cai Armory. There must be another exit, not necessarily only three!” Shi Feizhe said. “Let’s split up and search carefully, we will definitely find something!”
“Bullshit! We’ve searched this place already! It’s square-shaped, there’s no other exit!” said a rather old voice.
“Then why do the stone bricks behind the stone wall rotate, what’s the principle? It means there are still secrets we don’t know about!” Shi Feizhe retorted.
“This…”
“We haven’t felt stuffy here for so long, which means there’s ventilation! Since there’s ventilation, maybe we can work together to open up a path out!” Others chimed in.
“That makes sense! With so many of us, as long as we find the right direction, it’s not impossible to dig a tunnel upwards!” someone agreed.
A glimmer of hope was better than waiting to die here, and then dying from killing each other!
“Young man, what’s the second solution!” the rather old voice said, his tone softening considerably.
Shi Feizhe looked at them, gritted his teeth, and said:
“True Realm experts completely crush us! So the other solution is to break through to the next realm! As long as one of us breaks through to the True Realm, we can charge out!”
“Ha! What are you kidding, kid! Breaking through to the True Realm is not that easy!” This time someone burst out laughing.
Everyone in the world wants to become a True Realm expert!
But haven’t they all been stuck at the Celestial Cycle?
“There are so many techniques here, countless True Realm techniques! We can definitely cultivate to the True Realm!”
“Hehe… That’s possible, but we’ll probably starve to death before we reach the True Realm!” someone sneered, thinking this kid Shi Feizhe was a bit delusional.
The previous method still had a sliver of possibility.
This method was simply a fantasy!
Shi Feizhe fell silent for a while, then said hesitantly:
“If… you want to be fast, I do have a technique that can quickly break through to the True Realm!”
“But this technique is very demanding on talent and comprehension! If your talent and comprehension are not enough, don’t force yourself to cultivate it!” Shi Feizhe continued.
He didn’t know what consequences throwing out this technique would bring.
At this point, there was no other choice!
He had to gamble, gamble that someone would reach the True Realm!
Gamble that in this dead end, an extra variable would appear, giving them a glimmer of hope!
“Bullshit! How do you know I don’t have talent and comprehension! I just don’t have the technique!” said the angry man from before.
If Shi Feizhe had simply revealed the technique, not many people would have believed him, but the fact that he emphasized talent and comprehension stung their pride.
Large sects pass down their legacy through people.
As long as the people are there, the legacy is there, everything is there!
In the Jianghu, there are people everywhere, but what’s lacking are martial arts manuals, a legacy!
There’s no path to the heavens!
So Shi Feizhe’s words directly hit a nerve with this man.
He had been in the Jianghu for so long, achieving a mediocre level of success. This time he took a risk and rushed into the Great Cai Armory, only to find that he understood very little!
His hope had turned into despair, and now someone was saying there was a technique to reach the True Realm, but it required talent and comprehension.
It was clear he was mocking them, looking down on them!
“Kid, if you’re going to say it, say it! If not, get lost!” the man said coldly to Shi Feizhe.
I have no choice, I’m forced into this desperate situation!
I’ve done what I can, the rest is up to fate!
Shi Feizhe made up his mind. If he had a choice, he really wouldn’t want to spread this technique.
He said slowly, “This technique is called 《Heart Gives Birth to All Things Formula》, it talks about dividing one’s mind into two…”
Within a quarter of an hour, Shi Feizhe had explained the technique in detail.
“If your talent and comprehension are lacking, don’t force yourself to cultivate it!” he solemnly warned in the end.
“Hehe… what kind of crappy technique! Just so-so!” The same man from before sneered. “Can this really cultivate someone to the True Realm?”
“Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!” he mocked.

“These are the two solutions, actually, I think finding an exit is more feasible!” Shi Feizhe ignored him.
If it were any other time, he might have shown him the power of sword Qi, but now… the atmosphere was strange, it was better to endure it.
He just hoped that after saying this, the man wouldn’t actually practice this technique!
Thinking of that someone in Qiuyang City, who reached the True Realm in just half a month!
Although there was no food or water here, even if a Celestial Cycle expert didn’t eat anything, they wouldn’t starve to death in half a month!
“Let’s put the technique aside for now, but we can’t just sit here and wait for death, let alone kill each other. Otherwise, we’re all doomed!” the rather old man said.
“I am Gu Chaoyang, I brought my family juniors out this time. My death doesn’t matter, as long as the juniors can survive.”
“So later, if we detect any dangerous places, I can go first!”
He spoke with such sincerity that everyone turned to look at him.
At this time, someone willing to say this, willing to make sacrifices, was very unifying!
Others also understood. Killing someone might allow you to live a few more days, but in the end, there was still no hope of survival!
“That’s right! It’s better to seek a glimmer of hope while we can still move than to die a horrible death!”
“Exactly! Exactly! If we kill each other, wouldn’t we be making those from the Three Mountains and Seven Academies laugh at us?”
“Indeed! I have some knowledge of mechanisms, I need a few Jianghu friends to help me!”
“With so many of us, even if we have to dig, we might be able to dig our way out!”
With these words, people stood up in twos and threes, and began to knock on the stone walls, wanting to turn over every corner of the Great Cai Armory.
In no time, people were moving everywhere, all searching for hope.
Seeing them move, Shi Feizhe breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they wouldn’t be fighting for a while.
He estimated that if these one or two hundred people really fought, then…
Thinking about it, he returned to Monk Liaocheng’s side and saw that the monk was eating steamed buns!
They had spent the night in the wilderness before, so Liaocheng had brought a few steamed buns.
Fortunately, this place was relatively remote, otherwise, Liaocheng might have been the target of public outrage.
“Give me two!” Seeing Liaocheng eating, Shi Feizhe went up and snatched two.
Liaocheng didn’t mind, just said, “Benefactor, aren’t you leaving?”
“Can’t leave!” Shi Feizhe said while munching on the steamed buns.
“What do you mean you can’t leave?” Liaocheng didn’t understand.
He had been standing here the whole time, unaware of what had happened.
“We are now in the territory of the Three Mountains and Seven Academies, so…”
“Give back my steamed buns!” The honest monk reacted quickly, immediately understanding why Shi Feizhe had snatched his buns.
However, Shi Feizhe ate very quickly, finishing the buns while he was speaking.
After all, martial arts experts weren’t afraid of choking.
Now, the two could only wait for hope in this cave beneath the mountain.
But was hope really that easy to find?
Naturally, it wasn’t!
Shi Feizhe: I was forced to do it!
