Three Great Secret Arts Mastered, Overwhelming the True Disciples
After returning to his newly acquired cave dwelling, Chen Du retreated into it.
He first used the Blood Origin Sublimation Scripture as a foundation, and relying on his insights from his previous life and the already enhanced aptitude of this body, Qi Refining Great Perfection overnight.
Within his dantian, the Blood Origin True Qi surged like a tide, condensing into an extremely pure true qi.
If word of this speed were to get out, the entire Butterfly Dragon Peak would probably be shaken!
And that's precisely why Chen Du possesses such extraordinary comprehension!
But he didn't make a fuss, and he never even activated the full power of the restrictions on his cave dwelling. He only cultivated at night when no one was around, and during the day he would conceal his aura and pretend to be an ordinary outer disciple who had just started his training.
He spent the rest of his time doing one thing: restoring his cultivation in Immortal Dao Martial Dao and immortality.
With his Spirit Martial Realm Divine Status, three Qi Refining Grand Perfection level True Qi in hand, and the memories of all the secret techniques and cultivation methods cultivated in the souls of the three people, plus his realm insights, his recovery speed was far more terrifying than others imagined.
A month later, he sat on a futon deep inside the cave and slowly opened his eyes.
His inner True Essence as the sea, his fist intent as bright as the stars, and the crimson true qi in his dantian slowly rotated, his aura as deep and serene as an abyss.
After this period of time, he modified his "Martial Canon" to fit this world, so that it would not seem so abrupt and strange.
Such a high-level world can naturally easily accommodate low-level martial arts scriptures and Immortal Dao scriptures.
Sometimes, even a slight touch of emotion is enough.
His Martial Dao cultivation has recovered to the peak of the Pseudo-Eighth Tier Martial Immortal Peak Stage.
His Immortal Dao cultivation level has also returned to the Peak Stage the Pseudo-Eighth Tier Body Integration.
At this moment, Chen Du sat alone in his cave, carefully reviewing the true qi within his body and his own cultivation level.
After Qi Refining Great Perfection, he did not rush to show off his abilities.
Blood Origin Unity True Qi, which is as easy to use as an arm or fingers.
But his true trump card is far more than that.
The combat power derived from Martial Dao cultivation and Immortal Dao cultivation is comparable to that of a great secret technique, which is equivalent to two great secret techniques!
It should be known that each of these great secret techniques is extremely difficult to master, requiring the combined practice of three secret techniques!
Mastering each secret technique requires an unknown amount of resources and...
With his Divine Status in the Spirit Martial Realm, he is more than capable of standing among the Peak Stage Pseudo-Eighth Tier in a real fight.
Looking across the outer sect of the Motian Sect, they are already invincible.
Even if an ordinary true disciple came, he would be able to suppress a large area.
But Chen Du was not satisfied. He knew that he was deep in the Motian Sect, surrounded by wolves and jackals. Every one of those so-called true disciples had a few trump cards up their sleeves.
If he wants to survive longer in this game, he must have more in his hands.
Comparable to two great secret arts is not enough; one more great secret art must be mastered.
Only with this as a basis can he truly stand among the true disciples, and even surpass them.
This is what he will do next.
Outside the cave, the night wind of Butterfly Dragon Peak howled, and faint cries of birds and beasts could be heard outside the stone gate.
Since the area outside is full of anglers, there's no chance of finding an opportunity.
Then you must continuously improve your strength so that you can obtain the Foundation Establishment Divine Object after becoming a true disciple!
Eighty years ago, it was just a blink of an eye.
[You have begun to comprehend a great secret technique. From the souls of the three individuals, you obtained the cultivation method for a great secret technique called "The Nether River Blood Fiend Return-to-Void Heavenly Book," and the true qi you cultivate is perfectly compatible with this great secret technique.]
[Based on the foundation of your Blood Origin Unity True Qi, you first cultivated three secret techniques, and then unified them! By transferring all your true qi into the intent of the Netherworld, you can transform into a river of blood that devours the heavens, ultimately returning to the void and transforming into the Dao.]
[Through Divine Revelation Reading and divination, and by fusing the true meaning of the Styx River with your own Blood Origin True Qi, you have diligently cultivated this great secret technique day and night for eighty years, perfecting it layer by layer.]
[Eighty years later, the Nether River Blood Fiend Return-to-Void Heavenly Book, reaching its zenith.]
With a loud boom, after mastering the great secret technique, Chen Du no longer concealed his aura, and his Qi Refining spread out like a tidal wave.
Blood Origin True Qi surged around his body, and the illusory image of the River Styx rose faintly from beneath his feet, like a silent black river that slowly flowed around him.
That aura spread out from Butterfly Dragon Peak, and could be clearly felt even by several neighboring outer peaks.
The birds in the forest scattered in fright, and the wisteria outside the cave was pressed against the stone wall by the shockwave, trembling violently.
Who's over at Butterfly Dragon Peak?
"Such a heavy aura of bloodlust! The intensity of this aura... it's more than just the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, isn't it?"
"This direction seems to lead to the cave dwelling of an outer disciple named Wang Dong. He has mastered a great secret technique! The Nether River Blood Fiend Return-to-Void Heavenly Book?!"
"What?! An outer disciple can master a great secret technique? Although the required level of true qi for such a technique is very low, it also means that the difficulty of mastering it is extremely high. He actually succeeded?!"
The news spread like wildfire, reaching the outer gates within half a day and even subtly drifting towards the inner gates.
Someone dug up Chen Du's resume since joining the sect, and it turned out that he was an outer disciple, but he had not shown his face for eighty years.
However, to achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in just 80 years is already astonishing even among outer sect practitioners, let alone the fact that he also mastered a great secret technique.
It should be noted that there is never a shortage of disciples in the sect who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but among them, perhaps only one in ten may actually master a great secret technique.
The Great Secret Technique is the exclusive domain of true disciples.
And now, an outer disciple has reached that threshold.
Then, the true disciples from the peak arrived.
They arrived either on swords or riding spirit birds, their robes fluttering, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Each person wore a warm smile, but their eyes held their own thoughts.
Chen Du, on the other hand, could only sneer.
He understood all too well why these people had come.
After mastering the great secret technique, those high-ranking "adults" in the sect will no longer treat him as a Gu worm, nor as a research material.
Because he became a useful dog.
A dog that can bite has a bit more value.
"To be a dog?"
Chen Du repeated those two words in a low voice, a slight smile playing on his lips, a smile that sounded both self-deprecating and sarcastic.
He'll bite through the leash before they treat him like a dog!
After regaining his senses, Chen Du opened the cave's protective barrier, and several figures filed in.
There were five true disciples who came, each with a calm and focused aura and restrained spiritual light, although they were all dressed in the robes of true disciples.
But Chen Du could tell at a glance that these five people were at the same level as him, all at the Qi Refining Great Perfection.
What truly distinguishes them from ordinary inner disciples is the hidden aura of a great secret technique emanating from them.
Only those who have mastered the Great Secret Technique and reached the Qi Refining Grand Perfection are qualified to be exceptionally accepted as true disciples by a sect.
In other words, these five people are Chen Du's most direct kind of people right now!
To put it another way, these aren't just five people, they're five dogs from the sect.
"Junior Brother Wang, congratulations." The first to speak was a fair-skinned young man, toying with a jade talisman in his hand, his smile gentle. "Having mastered the 'Nether River Blood Fiend Return-to-Void Heavenly Book,' you are now qualified to stand on equal footing with us. It's been a long time since anyone in the outer sect has reached this level."
His name was Qi Shen, and he cultivated the Heavenly Wind Rift-Sky True Form Great Method. With each movement and stillness, the hem of his robe would flutter even without wind.
"Senior Brother Qi, you're too kind." Chen Du smiled and ushered the group into the cave.
Spiritual tea had been prepared beforehand by the stone table. After the group sat down, another person laughed loudly, "Junior brother, you've kept this well hidden. Who would have thought that after eighty years, you would have quietly mastered such a great secret technique?"
The speaker was Zhao Xuanming, Qi Refining Grandmaster who cultivated the "Nine Blazing Inferno True Method." His temper was as fiery as a raging fire, and he spoke very directly.
The group tacitly agreed that staying cooped up in their caves would only lead to their demise, and they wouldn't even be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.
But you are born with a special opportunity; as long as you don't get discovered, that's your skill.
This has always been the case within the sect!
"Senior Brother Zhao is joking; it was just a coincidence." Chen Du poured tea for the group, his expression unchanged.
The third disciple remained silent until the laughter subsided, then put down his teacup and said slowly, "Junior Brother Wang, let's cut to the chase. Your mastery of this great secret technique means you're qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us."
Now, here's a good opportunity: Foundation Establishment Divine Object. Do you want it?
