Xiao Family Hall.
The three of them looked toward the giant finger in the sky and stood stunned for a moment.
After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Xiao Zhan said:
"So, the Immortal Master has always kept a low profile and rarely displayed his abilities."
As he spoke, his brows rose higher and higher, and delight spread across his face.
"This time, he must have acted for Huohuo's sake!"
"That really is possible. Perhaps he displayed it to teach Huohuo."
The other Elders gazed at the sky. Along with their shock, their faces also revealed looks of envy, and they sighed one after another:
"Huohuo found himself a fine master!"
In the Backyard, as Chu Feng pointed downward, the giant finger in the sky also rolled up a wave of clouds and swept downward.
Beneath that thick spiritual power, everyone felt a wave of pressure.
Xiao Huohuo stared at it from beginning to end, his excitement reaching its peak.
Such earth-shaking might truly lived up to the move once used by the legendary Martial Ancestor.
Half a finger had already reached such a level. If he learned the whole thing, wouldn't it pierce a hole straight through the heavens?
However, before the pressure could extend to its limit, the giant finger suddenly transformed into a vortex of energy and dispersed.
Xiao Huohuo froze and turned to look at Chu Feng.
"Master..."
Chu Feng merely smiled calmly.
"This is Half Finger Shakes the Heavens, cast by your master with the cultivation of the First Stage of the Qi Refining Realm."
Xiao Huohuo stood rooted to the spot, somewhat dazed.
"With the First Stage of the Qi Refining Realm..."
He looked at his own hands.
"To display this kind of power with the First Stage of Qi Refining?"
"Can the First Stage of Qi Refining actually reach such a level...?"
He was currently at the First Stage of Qi Refining. If he successfully mastered it, he wondered whether he could reach his master's level...
Xiao Huohuo immediately clenched his fists, his expression resolute.
"Since Master showed it to me, that means I must be able to reach his level too."
"I definitely can."
Looking at Xiao Huohuo's tightly clenched fists, Chu Feng secretly chuckled.
This youngster is definitely imagining things again.
He sighed and thought to himself:
"Fortunately, I stopped in time just now. Otherwise, I might have been exposed."
As for the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, he had only heard the name and seen it in a novel. How could he really know it?
That thing just now was something he had condensed from Pure Spiritual Energy. It had only the appearance of the real thing and possessed no actual power at all.
If he had stopped even a little later, he probably would have been exposed.
Still, with this thing for Xiao Huohuo to see, he could explain a few of the principles from the novel to him.
Then he could leave the rest for Xiao Huohuo to figure out slowly.
After all, Xiao Huohuo had managed to cultivate with nothing but the nonsense he had spouted about cultivation. Maybe he could comprehend the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger too... right?
With that thought, Chu Feng coughed and cleared his throat.
"Xiao Huohuo, listen carefully!"
Xiao Huohuo shuddered and immediately straightened his body, concentrating with all his might.
Chu Feng began speaking slowly.
"The Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger is renowned throughout the world for its overwhelming force."
"Though every move and stance possesses astonishing power, you must also pay attention to Connecting to Heaven and Earth, sensing and drawing upon the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth."
"When the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth responds to you, it will automatically gather as you perform the technique..."
As Chu Feng continued speaking, he eventually ran out of things to say, so he began recounting some of the Martial Ancestor's exploits and Achievements while using the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger.
Xiao Huohuo listened even more excitedly than he would have to a storyteller.
It truly wasn't that Chu Feng didn't want to make things up. The original novel simply hadn't written even a hint of the cultivation process.
As the saying went, even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. Being able to cobble together several cultivation methods from the experience of other novels was already quite impressive.
The rest could only depend on Xiao Huohuo's own comprehension.
Still, after spouting so much nonsense, he probably wouldn't be exposed... right?
Chu Feng cast a light glance at him, then immediately relaxed.
Xiao Huohuo's eyes were shining as he clenched his fists and thought to himself:
The storybooks truly never deceived me.
Sure enough, the more advanced the martial art, the less it is recorded in ordinary ways.
But those things in the storybooks hidden in paintings or songs are utterly pathetic compared with the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger!
This martial art must be hidden within the story. Master wants to use the story's contents to make me comprehend the essence of the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger on my own. It must be so!
Chu Feng was inwardly delighted.
This youngster who loves to imagine things is truly easy to fool. He'll turn anything into a test.
Forget it. This is good too. At least I won't be exposed so easily.
Thinking this, Chu Feng encouraged Xiao Huohuo a little more and said a few words about cultivating diligently before leaving to bask in the sun.
Xiao Huohuo stayed behind alone, sitting dazedly on the ground as he recalled Chu Feng's words and carefully pondered how to Connect to Heaven and Earth.
And he pondered for an entire hour.
Several footsteps approached the front of the quiet courtyard.
Xiao Huohuo turned around and saw Xiao Zhan walking over with the Three Elders.
Seeing his father appear, Xiao Huohuo immediately stood and greeted them.
"Father, Three Elders."
Xiao Zhan, however, paid no attention to such formalities. Instead, he asked excitedly:
"Huohuo, the Immortal Master came to find you just now because..."
Earlier, while on the road, Xiao Zhan had heard the Xiao Family disciples say that Chu Feng had gone toward the courtyard where Xiao Huohuo was. Afraid of disturbing their cultivation, he had delayed coming until now.
Xiao Huohuo said excitedly:
"Dad, Master taught me a martial art just now!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the Three Elders grew even more excited, but the former continued asking nervously:
"Huohuo, then that finger that appeared in the sky just now was..."
Xiao Huohuo immediately nodded.
"Dad, that was the martial art Master taught me."
"You should have seen it too. That martial art was magnificent, with earth-shaking power!"
As he spoke, Xiao Huohuo began excitedly waving his arms about.
Xiao Zhan and the other three, however, stood frozen for a moment.
It was actually true!
Though they had already guessed as much, when they heard the answer personally from Xiao Huohuo, the four of them were still stunned.
As expected of a super-strong expert far beyond the Grandmaster realm. Even while teaching Huohuo, a martial artist who had yet to reach the postnatal realm, he could make him unleash such astonishing might.
How terrifying would this move be in its Full Bloom State?
Xiao Zhan felt his scalp prickle, but then he sighed with emotion.
"Huohuo, being able to take the Immortal Master as your master is truly a blessing earned over eight lifetimes."
"Even across the entire Southern Desolate Realm, there probably aren't many people who possess fortune like yours."
"You must obey the Immortal Master's words and must not make him unhappy. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huohuo nodded vigorously.
"Father, rest assured."
"I'll obediently listen to everything Master says."
After saying this, Xiao Huohuo noticed a trace of worry appear on Xiao Zhan's face.
It seemed that he had something to say, yet hesitated to speak.
Xiao Huohuo asked:
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. How did you become so hesitant too?"
Before you continue
