A Fortuitous Opportunity: The Eighth Stage Technique, "Taixu World Fist"
As Chen Du ventured deeper into Mount Tai, the more extraordinary the scenery became.
Ancient trees towered on both sides, their canopies like magnificent canopies.
Spiritual mist surged forth from the depths of the mountain, carrying a slightly bitter medicinal fragrance. Taking a breath, one's internal organs became more active.
Deep roars of beasts often echoed through the forest.
A giant ape with three eyes swung among the treetops, while a giant, silver-white python coiled on the cliff, exhaling and exhaling spiritual mist.
A giant centipede with a human face pattern darted out from under the dead leaves and pounced on Chen Du.
Without even looking, he casually chopped the centipede in half with a chop, and it was still twitching when it hit the ground.
He continued deeper into the area, and just then, the scenery ahead suddenly changed.
The towering trees disappeared, replaced by a valley shrouded in a pale golden mist.
The valley was filled with spiritual light, cranes flew about, and several deer, their bodies as white as jade, drank water by the stream, their graceful postures otherworldly.
That space was like a corner cut from an ancient painting, its beauty almost unreal.
Yet, a thin layer of divine light hung over the edge of this valley.
The light was extremely faint; if Chen Du hadn't possessed extraordinary Spiritual Power, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
He witnessed a two-headed leopard rush out of the valley, and just as it passed the divine light, its entire body silently shattered into countless points of light.
Several more large, brightly colored snakes swam out from within, only to turn to ashes the instant they touched the divine light.
That light was like an insurmountable wall of rules, completely isolating the world inside the valley from the outside world.
The many spirit beasts in the valley seemed to know the danger, and they all stopped inside the divine light, pacing anxiously, but dared not cross the line again.
However, quite embarrassingly, one cat got stuck in the middle of that divine light.
It was entirely black, with four tails swaying gently behind it, and its pupils were still golden, but it looked extremely embarrassed at the moment.
The cat's body was half outside the divine light and half inside. It was neither instantly annihilated by the terrifying light nor bounced back. It was stuck there, neither up nor down, as if it were blocked by some rule.
It struggled a few times, making low growling sounds in its throat, as if to say, "How could I be so shameful?"
Chen Du stopped and his gaze fell on the cat.
With four tails and golden eyes, and the ability to survive the divine light, this cat is no ordinary creature.
The black cat swayed its four tails gently, its golden vertical pupils reflecting his image. Seeing him turn to leave...
In a panic, it opened its mouth and spoke in human language, "Don't go! Save me! I am a noble of the Demon Race. If you save me, I will give you a heaven-defying cultivation technique!"
Chen Du paused, turning his head to ask, "Are you from Extraterrestrial Race?"
The black cat's ears twitched, and there was a hint of guilt in its voice, but it quickly puffed out its chest. "So what if I am! I'm not like those fools who shout for battle! I'm here to seek an opportunity!"
This place is too oppressive to us Extraterrestrial Races! I went through so much trouble to get here, but who knew this damn divine light would trap me! I can't go forward or backward, I've been stuck here for ages!
It spoke quickly and urgently, its four tails swishing behind it like windmills.
Chen Du said calmly, "You are from Extraterrestrial Race, I am human. What does your death have to do with me?"
After saying that, he turned to leave again.
He really didn't have a good impression of these Extraterrestrial Races!
"Etc!"
Black Cat in a hurry.
Then, a flash of light appeared before it, and a scroll of dark gold material fell from the void. "This is a fist technique passed down in my cat clan, aiming directly for the Eighth Stage! You saved me this time, so this technique is yours!"
Chen Du turned around, reached out and caught the scroll; it was extremely heavy.
Upon unfolding the scroll, one finds several ancient and solemn characters engraved at the beginning. "Taixu World Fist).
His gaze swept across the contents of the scroll, faster and faster, and a glint gradually appeared in his eyes.
The core of this boxing style is to transform everything into boxing techniques.
The power of heaven and earth, the strength of a realm, and one's own cultivation can all be contained within a single punch.
When mastered to the extreme, a single punch can open up a new realm, and a single punch can subdue all laws!
"Interesting." Chen Du closed the cultivation manual and stopped talking nonsense.
He took a step forward, unleashing his Divine Status. His hand moved like a dragon, divine light surging between his five fingers. He threw a punch, striking the thin layer of divine light directly.
The divine light trembled violently, colliding with his fist and creating countless fine cracks.
Startled by this force, the black cat's half-body, which was stuck in the light barrier, finally lost its balance.
The cat suddenly sprang out, rolled a dozen times on the ground, and finally crashed upside down into a tree root.
It rolled over and sat up, ignoring the mud all over its body, its golden eyes shining frighteningly, "Native human from Blue Star, you're quite nice!"
Chen Du ignored it, put the "Taixu World Fist" into his pocket, and continued to look deeper into the distance.
The divine light continued to flow slowly, firmly protecting that picturesque world within it.
But Chen Du had already vaguely sensed a subtle resonance between himself and the rules of this world.
Chen Du took a few steps, and then heard light footsteps behind him.
Looking back, I saw the black cat swishing its four tails and catching up with light steps.
Golden pupils blinked in the spiritual mist, like two luminous beads of glass.
Chen Du asked, "Why are you following me?"
The black cat didn't bother to hide it, chuckling to reveal a set of fine, white teeth. "I'm just curious. It's quite rare for you native humans of Blue Star to have a powerful figure like you emerge at a time like this."
"I've traveled all over the world and visited many small worlds, but I've never seen a native like you before."
It darted to Chen Du's side, tilting its head to examine him. "The secrets you possess are probably even greater than my inheritance. You're carrying a great opportunity. I, no, I, this cat, don't have any great abilities, I'm just lucky. Following you, I might be able to pick up some bargains."
Chen Du stopped and looked at it. "So, you admit you wanted to take advantage?"
The black cat puffed out its chest and wagged its four tails confidently. "What's the big deal? You, a strongman, wouldn't stoop to the level of a cat."
Besides, I didn't just take advantage of you for nothing. The "Taixu World Fist" I just used was a genuine Eighth Stage fist technique. If you make a move, we'll be even.
"I'm following you now because I see you have good fortune. If you find some incredible opportunity, it's not too much to ask that I get a share, is it?"
As it said this, it deliberately widened its eyes, as if to say, "I am weak, therefore I am right."
Chen Du stared at it for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
This cat is honest, much better than those Extraterrestrial Races that talk a good game but scheme behind your back.
"You can come along, but I won't care if you die. Think it over yourself."
The Cat Demon immediately darted forward, "Don't worry, I may not be good at much else, but I'm an expert at escaping."
The Cat Demon meowed, licked its paw, and then warned, "I know you humans like to reciprocate, but let me remind you, something has been following you."
