Change the Method! Monster!

"Wh-where is the problem?"

Mo Qingyue stared at Chen Zhixing, her throat dry.

What kind of monster was this?! One had to know, operating the Heaven Burning Art was extremely difficult!

Even she, as the noble Saintess of Heavenly Saint Palace, whose talent was praised as unmatched through past and present, had still spent a full half an hour before finally learning this art and thoroughly mastering it.

But what about Chen Zhixing? From the moment she began demonstrating it to the moment Chen Zhixing reproduced it, it had probably not even taken ten breaths, right? This speed was simply horrifying! "As everyone knows, the essence of ordinary techniques and divine abilities is actually to mobilize the power of the acupoints within the body, linking the acupoints together to form a specialized circulating Guidance Chart."

Chen Zhixing looked up at Mo Qingyue, then frowned slightly and pondered. "The circulation method of this art involves a total of one hundred and thirty-four acupoints, and these one hundred and thirty-four acupoints form an integrated whole. Overall, this method can still be considered rather exquisite. The person who created it should barely count as experienced in the path of techniques and divine abilities."

When Mo Qingyue heard this, the corner of her face could not help twitching.

Only barely counted as experienced? If that Elder in the palace, who was known in the Cultivation World as a grandmaster of the path of techniques, heard this, he would probably cough up blood, wouldn't he?

After a pause, Chen Zhixing smiled faintly and said:

"However, this method is not perfect, because among these one hundred and thirty-four acupoints, the sixty-fourth acupoint, the Shao Shang Acupoint, is actually not suitable for this method. Clearly, the person who created this method could not find a suitable acupoint, so they used the Shao Shang Acupoint as a substitute."

"It is precisely because of this that this method feels stagnant when it circulates. In other words, when casting the technique, there is a blank interval."

"If this blank interval is used by someone of a higher realm to suppress someone of a lower realm, then there is no real problem."

"But if it is under circumstances where both sides are at the same realm and strength, that tiny bit of stagnation is enough to be fatal."

"Sister Yue'er, do you understand what I mean when I put it this way?"

As soon as these words fell.

"It is the problem of the Shao Shang Acupoint?"

Mo Qingyue's pupils instantly contracted violently! Aside from the Shao Shang Acupoint, everything else in Chen Zhixing's explanation—the so-called stagnation and the like—was almost exactly the same as what that method-creating Elder in Heavenly Saint Palace had said!!

"Th-then is there any way to solve it?" Mo Qingyue was rarely somewhat nervous.

After all, knowing the problem and solving the problem were two different things.

"Naturally, there is a way." Chen Zhixing smiled, but he did not hurry to answer. Instead, he blinked his eyes and crooked a finger at Mo Qingyue.

Seeing this, Mo Qingyue immediately held her forehead and said helplessly, "You fellow, you really won't loose the hawk until you've seen the rabbit. Don't worry. If you can truly solve it, there will be no shortage of benefits for you."

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing nodded. He did not keep her in suspense any longer, but spoke seriously:

"The Shao Shang Acupoint is not suitable for this method because the Shao Shang Acupoint is not an explosive acupoint. You only need to replace the Shao Shang Acupoint with the Qi Chong Acupoint!"

The words fell.

Chen Zhixing stretched out his hand, and a blazing black flame almost seemed to be instant-cast, suddenly leaping out from his palm! "Look, isn't it much smoother and faster this way?" Chen Zhixing said with a faint smile.

Seeing this, Mo Qingyue was instantly dumbstruck, her lips slightly parted.

The speed at which Chen Zhixing had just released the Heaven Burning Art was nearly three times faster than hers!!

The difficult problem that had trapped the technique Elder in the palace had been solved so easily??

Just as she found it somewhat inconceivable.

"Wait! This method still has room for improvement."

Chen Zhixing narrowed his eyes, then muttered to himself, "The thirty-fifth node, the Feng Chi Acupoint, can be replaced with the Fu Bai Acupoint."

"The fifty-ninth node, the Yu Tang Acupoint, can be replaced with the Ju Que Acupoint."

"The seventy-first node, the Zi Gong Acupoint, can be replaced with the Jiu Wei Acupoint..."

"Mm, and the one hundred and fourth node, the Yang Chi Acupoint, can also be changed. Although this method is a fire-path divine ability, being blindly fierce and forceful instead makes it easy to go too far, like excess being as bad as deficiency. It would be better to add in some acupoints of bodily yin..."

"For example, the Qing Leng Yuan Acupoint would be relatively suitable."

"Wait."

"If that is the case, rather than this, why not be a little more extreme and simply give this method two Guidance Circulation Charts, divided into Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang? Then these two circulation charts can merge thoroughly at the final Tong Tian Acupoint, forming a flame where Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang blend together..."

As he spoke, Chen Zhixing's eyes instantly lit up. He immediately circulated spiritual energy in a great heavenly cycle within his body and began experimenting.

Mo Qingyue listened to Chen Zhixing muttering to himself and only felt her head swelling.

She knew all these acupoints, and she also knew what they were used for.

But once Chen Zhixing said how they should be combined and how they should be replaced, she was completely lost.

And finally, when Chen Zhixing said that he wanted to form two Guidance Charts of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang inside his body, she was utterly dumbfounded! Heavens! Creating any method required countless days and nights of constant experimentation and trial and error.

Because if even a single acupoint was wrong, it could cause the entire circulating Guidance Chart of the technique or divine ability to fall short at the last hurdle! If it merely fell short at the last hurdle, that would be one thing; in serious cases, it could even cause the spiritual energy within the body to clash against itself, posing the danger of the body exploding!

Therefore, looking across the entire Cultivation World, very few people would rashly create methods!

The techniques and divine abilities that could circulate on the market today were all the best methods finally obtained after countless repeated trials and errors by predecessors! But what about Chen Zhixing?

In just a few short minutes, he had directly given the circulation chart of this technique a complete blood exchange!

In the end, he was even letting his imagination gallop through the heavens, wanting to drive a single technique with two circulating Guidance Charts!! Was this still human???

"Zhixing, how about we find someone else to experiment? Using yourself as the experiment is a little too dangerous..." Mo Qingyue could not help speaking.

Before she could even finish her sentence.

"It's done!"

Chen Zhixing let out a soft breath, then flipped his right hand.

Hiss! A black-and-white flame instantly writhed and danced in his palm like a snake.

Under the extreme heat, the void crackled as it was scorched, and even space itself seemed on the verge of collapse! Yet strangely, at the burning edge of that flame, Pale Cold Qi actually seeped out as well, freezing the void into ice where the fire burned!

"???"

Mo Qingyue, who had been speaking, abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

Her mouth flew open as she stared at Chen Zhixing with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

She was numb!

Completely numb! To think that she, the exalted Saintess of Heavenly Saint Palace, had always remained calm and unhurried no matter how earth-shaking the matter, yet today, she had lost every bit of composure she had built over the past twenty-plus years in one go! She looked at the flame dancing in Chen Zhixing's palm. Just by imagining it, she could already picture what heaven-toppling might it would possess if this art were magnified countless times!

Only after a long while had passed.

"T-this... it's done just like that?" Mo Qingyue's throat bobbed slightly, and in her beautiful eyes, there was still an unconcealable shock.

"Yeah."

Chen Zhixing nodded, then clenched his right hand, and the black-and-white flame in his palm instantly vanished without a trace.

He said casually, not caring much, "Time was too rushed this time. If you gave me a little more time, I could improve this method and make it even stronger."

"But there's no need for that either, because if it were improved any further, the difficulty of cultivating this method would be too high. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to learn it, Sister Yue'er."

Hearing this, Mo Qingyue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave a dispirited sigh and lowered her head deeply.

This guy was way too crushing!
