Chapter 151 Eight Extraordinary Skills?
Xu Qing gazed at the innate energy flowing around Zuo Ruotong and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Zuo, how do you feel after a month of arduous cultivation?"
He had long seen through Zuo Ruotong Danyou's deep-seated problems.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong's overflowing innate energy receded into his body like a tide, and the hazy aura that had been surrounding him faded slightly before he slowly rose from the futon. Looking down at his hands, he saw that they had long since shed their previous dryness and were now as smooth and lustrous as the finest mutton fat jade, with even a faint layer of luster on his fingertips.
Even before he had fully cultivated the third level of Reverse Life, his entire being seemed shrouded in a hazy jade-like aura, exuding a transcendent and ethereal quality. His cultivation of life force had reached a level unimaginable to him before—he could split rocks and cleave mountains with the slightest movement of a fingertip. Even at his peak, he probably wouldn't withstand a single breath from him now. This physical body alone could probably withstand a meteorite falling to earth or a thousand cannons firing simultaneously.
He suddenly turned around, knelt down on both knees, placed his palms on the ground, and kowtowed heavily with his forehead, performing the most solemn prostration.
"Thank you so much, Pavilion Master, for bestowing upon me this opportunity to ascend to immortality!"
Although the three elixir stages were not yet complete, Zuo Ruotong's voice was filled with barely suppressed elation, even her tone was clearer than usual: "Although I haven't completely reversed my innate constitution, this acquired body has been transformed by eight or nine tenths. If it weren't for the immortal's blessing, Ruotong would never have seen the future in this life!"
Xu Qing looked at Zuo Ruotong lying on the ground and suddenly smiled: "Sect Leader Zuo, I see that your acquired body still has room for transformation with the Three Pills. Are you still interested in those pills from before?"
Zuo Ruotong glanced at the certificate and subconsciously looked up at the display shelf.
While observing the shelves earlier, he was already dazzled by the various elixirs, but he also noticed that there were stellar relics, cosmic relics, and more on the shelves.
Domain Lord Relic, Realm Lord Relic. The power contained in the slightly higher-ranking Star Relic alone is comparable to that of a thousand planetary relics.
Even the lowest-grade planetary relics have such miraculous effects?!
He clearly remembered that the top-grade planetary relics on the display shelf were two to three hundred times more potent than these low-grade relics! Not to mention the pills on top of them. And these planetary-level pills were piled up like a small star; even if everyone in the world reached his current level, it might not be enough for them.
With just a few more, Zuo Ruotong was absolutely confident that he could completely transform into a primordial body.
This longing ignited like a spark—it was a long-cherished wish that he and even the Trinity Sect had not fulfilled for a thousand years.
Feeling that eight or nine out of ten of his body had been transformed into the Innate One, Zuo Ruotong suddenly had a doubt: Is the other party really an immortal?
Having refined his entire body to the level of Innate First-Grade, he was already close to achieving immortality. And what about the Pavilion Master? Was he an existence surpassing even immortals?
As a mere mortal, he could hardly fathom what form such a being could take, capable of destroying an entire land with a single blow. The Dao Ancestor?
But neither immortals nor even more transcendent beings could fathom the level of Zuo Ruotong at this moment. What he sought now was merely a few pills that were insignificant to such beings.
But this longing was quickly replaced by self-deprecation. He smiled bitterly and said, "I appreciate the Sect Master's kindness. However, I have already offered up the Reverse Life Technique of the San Yi Sect. Now I have nothing left to offer, and I have no face to ask for any more immortal treasures."
The Three Ones Technique is already unparalleled in the world. Can other techniques in the world of supernatural beings really be exchanged for elixirs?
Xu Qing seemed to have anticipated his concerns. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said slowly, "Master Zuo, just because you don't have it now doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the world. Some things may not have been born yet, but if we can make arrangements in advance, we may be able to grasp them."
Zuo Ruotong looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.
Xu Qing changed the subject, smiling, "Two years from now, the world of supernatural beings will be engulfed in chaos. The root of this chaos is the sworn brotherhood formed by thirty-six supernatural beings and the Quanxing demons. Eight of them will comprehend eight incredible supernatural abilities, which the world calls the 'Eight Extraordinary Skills.'"
"Eight Extraordinary Skills? The future?" Zuo Ruotong frowned deeply—this title was unheard of, and the future was even more vague and unpredictable.
But the other party was an immortal, an existence far beyond the imagination of mortals, so how could he be judged by common sense? Therefore, all that remained in his eyes was curiosity.
Xu Qing flicked his finger, and eight radiant characters immediately appeared in mid-air: Body Source Flow, Heavenly Seal Script, Spirit Capture and General Send, Wind After Strange Gate, Double Perfection Hand, Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, Great Luo Cave Observation.
"These eight techniques are all extraordinary, far surpassing any martial arts techniques in the world—."
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, a surge of information flooded into Zuo Ruotong's mind.
The Tongtian Jifu Dacheng (通天集符大成) allows one to instantly draw thousands of runes without setting up an altar, with endless uses. It directly connects to the Heavenly Dao, allowing one to command spirits and generals, and to control all kinds of spiritual bodies. It can also devour their power and transform it into one's own. Feng Hou Qimen (风后奇门) can stabilize the space-time within the formation, transforming oneself into a king, and can freely manipulate the changes of heaven and earth and oneself.
The Dual Hands technique is divided into two forms: red and blue. The red hand reshapes the physical body, while the blue hand alters memories and the soul.
The Six Treasures Immortal Thief absorbs the life force of heaven and earth, devours all things and transforms them for his own use, gaining the ability to live forever. He is skilled in the Divine Hundred Refinements and is proficient in weapon crafting, instantly refining all things into weapons. All eight of his skills are extraordinary and embody the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Zuo Ruotong felt the information in her mind and couldn't believe it:
"This—this is the Eight Extraordinary Techniques? Are these supernatural abilities that only mortals can possess? And to comprehend eight of them at once?! How is this possible?"
He finally understood why Pavilion Master Xu had said there would be great chaos.
Each of these extraordinary skills, if unearthed in the outside world, would cause bloodshed and chaos.
He finally understood why Master Xu had said there would be great chaos.
Each of these extraordinary skills would be enough to cause bloodshed in the outside world, let alone the fact that the master of these skills is a cultist who has sworn brotherhood with the Quanxing!
Furthermore, given that this is a time of national crisis, if someone were to use this opportunity to obstruct progress, under pressure from all sides, the various sects would likely be forced to hand over their disciples. And what level of chaos would the world descend into at that time?
If Zuo Ruotong hadn't already possessed a naturally gifted body, he would have been covered in cold sweat.
Xu Qing, observing his flustered state, tapped her fingertips on the table, her tone calm yet resolute: "Under normal circumstances..."
It's indeed difficult to comprehend all eight extraordinary skills. But if one has a predestined affinity with immortality, things will be different.
"Do you know about the 'Ziyang Mountain Man' from hundreds of years ago?"
Zuo Ruotong's pupils contracted slightly: "Is the Pavilion Master referring to Zhang Boduan, the author of 'Wuzhen Pian' and founder of the Southern School of Alchemy? The Sanyi Sect's records state that he was the master of internal alchemy and is said to have already ascended to immortality. He is undoubtedly a true immortal."
Xu Qing showed some approval: "Exactly. What I'm about to say is related to Zhang Boduan, about the twenty-four sections of Tongtian Valley that he left behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing injected the information about the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valleys into Zuo Ruotong's mind.
After carefully sensing the sensations, Zuo Ruotong immediately opened her eyes, her pupils contracting:
"A place where ordinary people can naturally become extraordinary? Such a blessed land truly exists!"
Although Zuo Ruotong didn't pay attention to this aspect, she knew that it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to become an extraordinary person.
The most obvious example is that only one in ninety thousand ordinary people is an extraordinary person, and among four hundred million compatriots, there are fewer than ten thousand extraordinary people.
The fact that the grotto left behind by Master Ziyang could transform mortals is simply beyond imagination.
