Heavenly Dragon Ape Treasure Technique

"Village chief, that terrifying Suan Ni deep in the mountains is probably dying of old age. It has been struggling and roaring lately."

"The time has finally come."

"Suan Ni ..." Shi Hao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Clan Chief, look, the Azure Scale Eagle is so cute."

"Hmm. The little guy has been nourished by Ye Feng's blood essence and has shown signs of reversion to its ancestral form. The Azure Scale Eagle will leave it here."

"Welcome, I'll give you a name. How about Purple Cloud?" Shi Hao had been orphaned since childhood and obtained the Azure Scale Eagle. He treated the Azure Scale Eagle like family. "Huh, these patterns can move... What are they... Wow, so amazing. They can actually operate like this, these changes are more complex than the stars in the sky. What is this?"

"The runes of powerful beings—learning them will allow you to master the precious techniques of those beings," the old Clan Chief instructed.

"The treasured techniques of living beings... Clan Chief, are you referring to the treasured techniques of the Azure Scale Eagle?" Shi Hao asked.

"Yes." The Clan Chief nodded.

after a while

"Little Stone, you're amazing. Teach us how to use the Azure Scale Treasure Technique too."

"Yes."

"Actually, I only know a little bit of the Azure Scale Eagle Treasure Technique," Shi Hao politely declined.

Buzz

Suddenly, Ye Feng, who was sitting on the rock, opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

The old Clan Chief smiled.

Since returning, Ye Feng has spent almost all his time in seclusion cultivating, except for three meals a day.

"You stingy fellow." Stone Skin Monkey muttered under his breath. Noticing Ye Feng waking up, he ran to Ye Feng's side and said, "Ye Feng, do you also master a magical technique?"

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.

"What kind of magical technique is it?"

"The Heavenly Dragon Monkey Treasure Technique".

Ye Feng was right. The cave where they hid from the Azure Scale Eagle was actually the petrified skeleton of an ancient, strange creature. Within the skeleton remained a precious technique called the Heavenly Dragon Ape.

"The Heavenly Dragon Ape!" the old Clan Chief murmured.

"Clan Chief, have you heard of it?" Ye Feng asked.

"The Heavenly Dragon Ape, the overlord of the land. In ancient times, it was one of the overlords of the core region of the Great Wilderness. It is said that its power reached the heavens. However, it has become extinct. For thousands of years, no one has seen its figure in the Great Wilderness." The old Clan Chief stroked his beard, genuinely happy for Ye Feng: "The Heavenly Dragon Ape, it was a unique species on par with the Suan Ni. Ye Feng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, actually obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Ape's treasure technique."

The higher the level of a magical technique, the more difficult it is to comprehend and the longer it takes.

It took Shi Hao the same amount of time as Ye Feng to comprehend the Azure Scale Eagle Treasure Technique. The old Clan Chief secretly admired Ye Feng's talent, finding it even greater than Shi Hao's.

"Ye Feng, the Heavenly Dragon Ape has become extinct. Where did you learn its precious technique?" the old Clan Chief asked curiously.

"It's in that cave in the White Birch Forest," Ye Feng answered truthfully.

"A cave?"

"Yes, Clan Chief. There are strange patterns in the cave. Shi Hao and the others discovered them. Out of curiosity, I memorized all the patterns. I never expected it to be a treasured technique of the Heavenly Dragon Ape."

"Cave...stones...bones...could it be that the cave contains the remains of the Heavenly Dragon Ape?" The old Clan Chief analyzed, paused, and said, "Ye Feng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You've seen the Bone Inscriptions of the Heavenly Dragon Ape."

"What is Bone Inscriptions?" Shi Hao asked curiously.

"The Bone Inscriptions are symbols naturally manifested on the bones of powerful Primordial Remnant, containing mysterious and unpredictable power. They are the same as the patterns you discovered on the Azure Scale Eagle's body. They contain the precious techniques of Primordial Remnant," the old Clan Chief explained.

"Heavenly Dragon Ape... Tongtian... Dragon... Ye Feng, your magic technique sounds even better than the Azure Scale Eagle Treasure Technique. Can you teach me?" the Stone Skin Monkey asked.

"It is possible. However, with your talent, I'm afraid you won't be able to master this precious technique even if you spend half your life on it."

"Don't look down on me. I've been working really hard lately."

"What's the use of hard work? You were the loudest and the first to run away during your Medicinal Bath. Whether you can unleash the true power of the Heavenly Dragon Monkey Treasure Technique is closely related to the strength and resilience of your physical body. If you want to learn, I can teach you. However..."

"But what?"

"However, I have a cultivation method that is more suitable for you."

"Oh, what kind of magical technique is it?"

"It's not a magical technique. It's a method of body refinement."

"What's the name of the body-refining method?"

"The Eight Gates Technique"

"The Eight Gates Technique, what is the Eight Gates Technique?"

"A technique that releases the body's restrictions on energy, allowing excess energy to be released. In the meridian system of energy flow, there are eight gates that suppress and control the energy in the body: the Open Gate Rest Gate, the Life Gate, the Hurt Gate, the Gate of Rest, the View Gate, the Shock Gate, and the Death Gate. These eight gates set limits on the amount of energy in the body, but this technique can force the energy to exceed these limits, thereby drawing out a strength that is dozens of times stronger than one's original strength."

"Ten times stronger?" A glint of light flashed in the old Clan Chief's cloudy eyes.

"Yes. Although this Body Techniques is extremely powerful, the user will be injured while gaining power, so it is listed as a forbidden technique. When all eight gates are open, it is called the Eight Gates Formation, which can instantly grant power ten times greater than that of a strong person, but will also result in death due to the exhaustion of one's own life force."

"So, this martial Body Techniques still carries danger?"

"Yes. But as long as the eighth gate is not opened, there will be no burning of life force."

"Ye Feng, teach me quickly. I want to learn, I want to learn." The Stone Skin Monkey was very excited and murmured, "Ye Feng, do you know... every time I see my father going out with the hunting team, I worry that he will not come back. So I want to become stronger."

"Pi Hou, I haven't finished speaking yet." Ye Feng paused, then continued, "Everyone's body has eight gates. As long as you train to the point where you can withstand the load of opening all eight gates, anyone can open them. To practice this secret technique, you also need to have a sufficient understanding of the human body's meridians."

"Then quickly teach me how to identify the meridians in my body," the Stone Skin Monkey said anxiously.

"Identifying the meridians is simple. To practice this secret technique, one must also possess a powerful physical body. Everyone's body has eight gates that suppress their own energy, but very few people know how to use the Eight Gates Formation. Why are these internal gates, which everyone has, not utilized by others? The key reason is that using the Eight Gates Formation requires unconventional, excessive, and extreme long-term training. Only in this way can the various parts and organs of the body be trained to adapt to the load they can withstand after opening, minimizing the damage to the body caused by the enormous energy after opening. Forcing them open will not work. In addition, through years of training, one can skip the gates that restrict energy in the beginning and directly open the gates that restrict energy in the end," Ye Feng explained in detail.

Once Stone Village masters the Eight Gates Technique, will it still be just Stone Village?
