Ch 46: Heavenly Origin God-Slaying Technique
【……After you transmitted the Pure Yang True Qi to Ling Ling, she began her closed-door cultivation. 】
【Your cultivation was completely lost, so you switched to cultivating the 《Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens》, and re-entered the Ninth-Rank. 】
【Three months later, Ling Ling officially broke through to the Third-Rank. After coming out of seclusion, as promised, she transmitted the peerless cultivation technique 《Heavenly Origin God-Slaying Technique》 to you. From then on, you secluded yourself for arduous cultivation. 】
【Five years later, you reached the peak of the Ninth-Rank and began your first Nirvana. In the same year, Ling Ling advanced to the Second-Rank. 】
【Another five years passed, and you successfully entered the Eighth-Rank Realm. In the same year, Su Qingzhi entered the Third-Rank. 】
【Eight years later, you reached the peak of the Eighth-Rank and underwent your second Nirvana. Su Qingzhi advanced to the Second-Rank, and Ling Ling began to charge towards the Divine Power Realm. Several First-Rank experts appeared and surrounded her, killing her. You were also affected and died on the spot, at the age of forty. 】
After Gu Yang finished reading the results of this simulation, he still felt a sense of relief.
Ling Ling was still considered to have a conscience and didn’t betray him after crossing the river.
This simulation was relatively short, meaning that he didn’t encounter any major events. With the protection of a Third-Rank expert, he could naturally cultivate in peace.
However, this cultivation speed was a bit too slow.
It took eighteen years in total to complete the second Nirvana.
Ling Ling had already begun to charge towards the Divine Power Realm, and even Su Qingzhi was already at the Second-Rank.
Calculating like this, if he wanted to cultivate the 《Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens》 to the First-Rank, it would probably take several hundred years, right?
As expected, with insufficient aptitude, forcefully cultivating such a peerless cultivation technique was truly asking for trouble.
【Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following. 】
【One, your Martial Arts Realm at the age of forty. 】
【Two, your Martial Arts Experience at the age of forty. 】
【Three, your Life Wisdom at the age of forty. 】
Gu Yang chose two.
Suddenly, a terrifying saber intent filled his mind, carrying an aura of destruction and slaughter.
The moment this saber intent appeared, his mind went blank. He even thought he had died.
…………
“This is—”
Outside the door, Ling Ling, who was feeling uneasy and suspicious, narrowed her eyes. She was shocked once again. She sensed the arrival of a terrifying saber intent. Although it was fleeting, it was no less powerful than the terrifying intent she had sensed earlier.
“Another peerless cultivation technique?”
Her mind was a little numb.
What exactly was his background? How could he obtain the inheritance of two peerless cultivation techniques?
In the entire world, those who possess this level of cultivation technique are only the Ten Great Families, the royal family, and those few major sects…
Moreover, she felt that the saber intent was somewhat familiar.
◈◈◈
“Is this definitely not a demonic technique?”
Gu Yang was sorting out the 《Heavenly Origin God-Slaying Technique》 that he had obtained from Ling Ling, and couldn’t help but have this question in his mind.
What he obtained was only the first layer.
This cultivation technique was even more wicked than the 《Red Yang Skill》. The method of cultivation was to comprehend the Dao saber intent and nurture it to grow stronger. The way to nurture the saber intent was by killing people.
Every time a person was killed, their soul could be used as fuel to nourish the saber intent.
The higher the cultivation of the person killed, the better the effect.
As the saber intent continuously grew stronger, one’s own cultivation would naturally also continuously improve.
Without a doubt, this was a completely ruthless and murderous saber technique. As long as one kept killing people, one could continuously increase their strength.
Of course, cultivating this saber technique was even more dangerous than the Red Yang Skill. If one was not careful, their mind would be corrupted by the saber intent, and they would become a slaughtering machine that only knew how to kill.
“It’s too dangerous. If possible, it’s best not to practice this saber technique.”
Gu Yang shook his head.
In comparison, the 《Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens》 was better. Although it took too much time, it was safe. Time was not a problem for him at all.
◈◈◈
“Now, there is only one simulation left. I won’t rush to switch cultivation techniques.”
Once he switched to cultivate the 《Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens》, his strength would regress to the Ninth-Rank. He would be too weak and have no sense of security at all.
If he wanted to switch, he would first save a large sum of money. With money, he could use the Life Simulator to quickly get through this period of weakness.
At the very least, he would need one hundred thousand taels.
“Now, I’ll deal with the trouble with the Qingxuan Sect first.”
Gu Yang quickly made up his mind. He opened the Life Simulator once again and used the last remaining simulation.
【At the age of twenty-two, you were already a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist. You brought Su Qingzhi and Ling Ling to Ping Prefecture City. The Qingxuan Sect encountered trouble and asked for your help. After you resolved the trouble, you obtained a treasure map of the Shadow Thief. 】
【Next, you brought Ling Ling and Su Qingzhi to the Divine Capital and joined the Tianxin Martial Arts School, becoming Cheng Tianxin’s direct disciple. 】
【At the age of twenty-five, Guo Taiping, who was ranked seventh on the Heaven’s Pride List, came to challenge the school. Cheng Tianxin was defeated. 】
【That night, a mysterious Third-Rank Martial Artist broke in and attacked Ling Ling. Cheng Tianxin, dragging his heavily injured body, repelled him but later died from his injuries. 】
【Afterwards, Ling Ling left, her whereabouts unknown. 】
【The next night, another mysterious expert broke in but was scared away by the disciples of the martial arts school. 】
【After that, Cheng Qingyu succeeded to the position of Master of the school. A year later, she broke through to the Third-Rank and stabilized the decline of the martial arts school. 】
【Another year later, the envoy of the Grassland Barbarians arrived in the Divine Capital and sent a Third-Rank youth to set up a challenge, defeating seven Third-Rank experts of the Great Zhou in half a month. Cheng Qingyu went up to fight but was defeated and severely injured, her martial path severed. 】
【That night, a mysterious Third-Rank expert broke into your residence. After ten moves, you used a self-destructive saber technique, cutting off one of the opponent’s fingers, and then died from exhaustion. You died at the age of twenty-six. 】
“The waters of the Divine Capital are still too deep.”
Gu Yang sighed. He was already at the Fourth-Rank, but this simulation was almost no different from the last one. He couldn’t affect the overall situation at all.
Cheng Tianxin still died, and Cheng Qingyu was also defeated by that young Barbarian expert.
However, it wasn’t without gains.
In the end, when facing a Third-Rank expert, he managed to injure the opponent before being killed.
This proved that his saber technique had greatly improved compared to before.
The reason he chose to go to the Tianxin Martial Arts School this time was to have Cheng Tianxin give him pointers on his saber technique.
Although he had comprehended saber intent when he was at the Fifth-Rank, after breaking through to the Fourth-Rank, his saber technique was a bit lagging behind.
Now, he could be considered to have made up for his shortcomings.
【Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following. 】
【One, your Martial Arts Realm at the age of twenty-six. 】
【Two, your Martial Arts Experience at the age of twenty-six. 】
【Three, your Life Wisdom at the age of twenty-six. 】
Gu Yang predictably chose two.
Countless profound secrets of saber techniques immediately appeared in his mind. The accumulation of over four years was absorbed in an instant.
He opened his eyes, a trace of fighting spirit surging in them.
“It’s perfect to test the saber tomorrow.”
Gu Yang reached out and touched a saber beside him. This was a newly bought, hundred-refined fine steel saber that he had bought after arriving in Ping Prefecture City. It was worth one hundred taels of silver.
Tomorrow, he would go to find that Fourth-Rank Martial Artist. In the end, a battle would naturally be unavoidable. It was perfect to test his current saber technique and see what level it had reached.
PS: This is the Ch to make up for yesterday.
