Water Bear Gu Complete (with illustration)

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. With the "Nine Deaths Divine Art" as his precedent, he was adept at courting death, so he didn't experience any writer's block in the early stages of the Cultivation Method and wrote with lightning speed.

In just two months, he had already increased his Cultivation Method in the cultivation technique to 1%, which was considered rapid progress.

It should be noted that when he created the "Ten Absolutes Scripture," he spent half a year but still couldn't Cultivation Method to 1%.

Compared to the "Ten Absolutes Scripture," the progress of the new Cultivation Method can be described as miraculous.

However, on this day he finally stopped writing, and his writer's block finally arrived.

Moreover, similar to when he created the "Ten Absolutes Scripture" before, he is once again stuck on the techniques and Divine Ability Cultivation Method.

Of the Three Essentials of Cultivation Methods, designing the Divine Ability Cultivation Method is the most difficult. This time, he was stumped by the Divine Ability again, unsure how to design Divine Ability for the new Cultivation Method, which was driving him crazy.

Although the "Nine Deaths Divine Art" possesses a ready-made ability to Rebirth Through Destruction Divine Ability, it is not well-suited to his new Cultivation Method. With a top-grade Water Bear Gu, it is difficult to be on the verge of death, so what use is this ability to Rebirth Through Destruction Divine Ability?

Moreover, he didn't really like this kind of suicidal Divine Ability, as it didn't suit his personality.

The Rebirth Through Destruction is a passive growth-type Divine Ability, strong in its extremely high growth potential. However, it does not instantly increase combat power during battle, and he doesn't particularly like this type of Divine Ability.

He still prefers powerful supernatural Divine Ability that can greatly amplify combat power during battle; the "Rebirth Through Destruction" approach does not meet his requirements.

But the "Rebirth Through Destruction"Divine Ability was already the most powerful Divine Ability he had learned. If he didn't use this Divine Ability, what other Divine Ability should he use? He looked down on the Divine Ability of those trashy Cultivation Method in the Qian Clan's Treasure Pavilion.

For a moment he was caught in an endless dilemma, racking his brains, his pen held in mid-air, hesitant to put pen to paper.

At this moment, in the same cave abode, after Di Xin left, a group of uninvited guests entered.

Led by Old Daoist Li, he led a group of Gu cultivators from the Qian Clan Merchant Association into the place with a smile. However, when he saw the wide-open stone gate and the empty interior, he was dumbfounded.

"Old Daoist Li, I think you're just here to make fun of us! Where did this treasure come from? Where exactly is the precious treasure you're talking about? You need to give us an explanation!"

At this moment, Qian Duoduo's angry voice came from inside the cave. Judging from his aura, he had unknowingly entered the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

Qian Jinjin, standing to the side, had her brows furrowed, clearly in a bad mood.

It looks like this place has been horribly looted; even the decorations, wall sculptures, and floor tiles have been dug up.

There's nothing but mud and rocks here now. Even the topsoil has been dug away; they've dug three feet into the ground. Are you sure there can still be treasure here?

She would truly admire anyone who could find treasure here.

Even the usually very ladylike Qian Jinjin had to open her mouth wide in this scene.

This is truly a case of extreme poverty; she had never seen anything like it in her life.

Qian Jinjin stared at Old Daoist Li with extreme shock, her expression quite strange, and said, "You did all this? You even took the bones left behind by the cave master as a treasure?"

The next moment, all the Qian Clan Gu cultivators turned their gazes to Old Daoist Li, their expressions strange and their eyes full of meaning.

"No, no, it wasn't me! It really wasn't me! I just took some decorations and lighting fixtures to renovate the house."

"That Little Apothecary did it all. I would never do something so despicable. I would rather die poor or starve than take someone's remains with me."

Old Daoist Li hurriedly waved his hands, feeling utterly humiliated and embarrassed. He realized he had chosen the wrong person and vowed never to bring him along again.

"Never mind who did it, we were tricked into coming all this way by you."

"We've mobilized so many people; a round trip would take at least one to two months. Even Miss has canceled many things to come here, and now you're telling me there's nothing here? Are you deliberately playing us for a fool?"

Qian Duoduo grabbed his collar and roared angrily.

Old Daoist Li was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on. He remembered that the stone gate was firmly closed when he left, so how could it be closed after only two months...?

It was her! It must have been her! It must have been Di Xin who did it, there's no one else but her!

Well, she pretended not to understand the mechanism, but as soon as everyone left, she secretly came back, unlocked it, and kept the treasure for herself. What a cunning and scheming woman!

We were all completely fooled by this scheming woman.

Old Daoist Li's face turned ashen, and he was so angry that he kept blowing his beard.

He felt he was pretty much right; who else but this master thief could pick locks like that? He'd really been tricked by this girl this time, and he was determined to settle the score with her when he got back.

Qian Jinjin could tell from his expression that the treasure was out of the question, and her face immediately darkened.

She had made a long and arduous trip for nothing, wasting at least a month of her precious time.

Qian Jinjin waved her hand weakly and sighed, "Alright! I guess I'm just unlucky. Judging from his appearance, there's no way we'll get the treasure. Let's take him with us, and he can pay for our travel expenses..."

Long Xuan was completely unaware of the changes in the cave abode, or the trouble his unintentional actions had caused Old Daoist Li. At this moment, he was holding a book and laughing loudly.

"Hehe, how could Old Long be so careless? He just casually left such a powerful Cultivation Method lying around. What was he doing taking it out for no reason? And I saw right through it. He's so careless!"

Long Xuan couldn't help but be excited. The "Reverse Dragon Art" was the Long Family Clan's Body Refining Cultivation Method, and it was also the number one Body Refining Cultivation Method in the Far Western Lands, complementing the Long Family's "Xuanyuan Dragon Art".

The "Xuanyuan Dragon Art" possesses the Divine Ability to increase the strength of dragons and elephants, but you must know that the effects of force are mutual. If your bones and muscles are not strong enough, then even if you can unleash the power of a dragon, you will first break your own bones and muscles.

Therefore, in order to master the Divine Ability of the "Xuanyuan Dragon Art", one must learn the "Reverse Dragon Art" to strengthen the physical body.

The first level of the "Reverse Dragon Art" refines tendons, the second level refines bones, the third level refines skin, the fourth level refines blood, the fifth level refines internal organs, and the sixth level refines lungs...

In short, this thick book has refined everything. The second level is bone refinement. Once you reach the second level of the "Reverse Dragon Art," you can perfectly unleash the Divine Ability of the "Xuanyuan Dragon Art."

The profoundness of "The Reverse Dragon Technique" is no less than that of "The Nine Deaths Divine Art," and it has great reference value for Long Xuan, especially the Divine Ability part of the Cultivation Method, which enlightened him and finally freed him from the problem of stun.

The Divine Ability of "Reverse Dragon Art" is the External Dharma Form. What exactly is the Dharma form is obscure and difficult to understand, and it is hard to explain in just a sentence or two, but we can use an analogy.

In Ancient Era, there were various powerful creatures such as mythical beasts, Divine Dragon, and alien races. Many of these creatures possessed the power to destroy the world and were far more lethal than humans.

When a Cultivation Method, the phantom of a powerful being will appear in the sky when the Dharma Image is released, unleashing a terrifying aura.

Once a Gu cultivator uses their Dharma Form, they can obtain a portion of the creature's power for a short period, instantly increasing their combat strength.

This is precisely the kind of powerful Divine Ability that Long Xuan is looking for, capable of enhancing combat strength.

He was extremely satisfied with this Divine Ability; regardless of its actual strength, it was intimidating.

When a massive phantom of a Divine Dragon suddenly appears behind you during battle, exuding overwhelming power and terrifying dragon might, are you afraid?

Firstly, it can weaken the opponent's arrogance by three points, while greatly boosting one's own morale.

However, although he was very satisfied with this Dharma-like Divine Ability, plagiarism was out of the question. Plagiarism was shameful, and he would never plagiarize in his lifetime. He wanted to improve it.

Just as he drew Divine Ability from the supernatural powers of the "Sun-Moon Heart Sutra," he aimed to improve upon it, surpassing its original and exceeding its predecessor.

For example, the "Reverse Dragon Art" can condense an External Dharma Form, but why would he only condense one dharma image? He insists on condensing one dharma image per layer, that's how greedy he is.

For example, in "The Reverse Dragon Art," you need to refine tendons, bones, and skin, but why does he refine one thing at a time? He insists on refining everything, refining everything at each level, and then strengthening it layer by layer. That's how greedy he is.

After all, the outline has already been prepared, and it's impossible to turn the outline into one that strengthens only one part per layer.

Now, Long Xuan is overflowing with inspiration for this new Cultivation Method; his creativity is unstoppable. He's nothing like the anxious, scratching-headed guy he was earlier.

It can only be said that the "Reverse Dragon Art"Cultivation Method came at the perfect time, relieving Long Xuan's urgent crisis. This Old Long is truly a great person!

Having found inspiration for the question of Cultivation Method Divine Ability powers, Long Xuan's pen, which had paused for a long time, began to fall again, and soon the sound of rustling filled the pavilion without stopping.

The time required for Cultivation Method is always long, especially since Long Xuan is challenging the world's top Cultivation Method, with novel and unbelievable ideas, making the creation process undoubtedly more difficult.

He envisioned a path that no one had ever taken before. Everything was unknown, and he had to explore it all himself. There was no experience to draw upon. Refining the body with magma and refining the body with Heavenly Tribulation —it was truly remarkable that he came up with such ideas.

This method of body training is not only difficult to emulate, but others will likely need to learn from it in the future.

However, if he really succeeds, it's easy to imagine how terrifying such a Cultivation Method would be—absolutely terrifying and outrageous, enough to strike fear into the hearts of everyone.

Imagine, if someone can't be killed by Heavenly Flame or Heavenly Tribulation, what means in the world could possibly kill him?

If his basic abilities are already this terrifying, not to mention the numerous Dharma forms Long Xuan can create, it's practically a test of one's nerves. Anyone who faces such a formidable opponent in the future will likely have nightmares.

During the years of Cultivation Method, outside the pavilion, there were sometimes torrential rains, sometimes raging winds, sometimes blizzards, and sometimes scorching sun.

But with the pavilion providing shelter from the sun and rain, Long Xuan remained unmoved. The sometimes drastic changes in the outside environment not only failed to disturb him, but instead inspired him and helped him relax.

For example, he loves listening to the sound of rain. The pattering rain outside always washes away his fatigue, making him want to fall asleep to the sound of rain.

But he would still be disturbed from time to time by unexpected intrusions; birds would fly into the pavilion from time to time to take shelter from the rain and cool off, chirping incessantly.

What's even worse is that they built a nest in his gazebo and then took over his place, refusing to leave.

He lost track of time while Cultivation Method, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find that there were even baby birds chirping for food in the nest.

Not only do birds like to fly in, but the Chicken Bro also comes in from time to time. It's afraid of the sun and needs shelter from the rain, so of course it comes in.

As time went on, more and more Spirit Bee evolved into Ice Bee, and every now and then one would fly in, interrupting his thoughts.

And so, as time passed, two years quietly went by.

Over the past two years, the Water Bear Gu has been formed. It is cute, chubby and plump. Long Xuan parasitized it in his body and named it Water Bear Baby. Thus, Long Xuan's fourth supreme-grade Gu worm was completed.

With two Internal Gu and two External Gu, the situation is quite balanced. With four supreme-grade Gu worm in hand, he is now fearless. Anyone who dares to mess with him should try.

He dared to say that, in terms of the supreme-grade Gu worm, even the geniuses of the great clans in the Far West couldn't compare to him.

They might have one supreme-grade Gu worm, or two, but the possibility of having four supreme-grade Gu worm -supreme-grade Gu worm is extremely slim.

In other words, he is now basically fearless even if he encounters geniuses from those great clans.

Meanwhile, the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree he transplanted also mutated.

It could be that his High-Grade Spirit Soil Pure Soil took effect, or it could be the mutation caused by the Divine Ice Flame, or it could be a combination of both. In any case, it mutated.

One half remained a fire tree, bearing fire fruit, while the other half transformed into an ice tree, bearing ice fruit.

A perfectly good tree was transformed into a world of both ice and fire by Long Xuan.

This was a huge surprise for him, even though he had already prepared for the transplant to fail and no longer cared whether the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree could survive.

But if it True Intention, how could Long Xuan not be happy? This was a Earth-grade Spirit Medicine, enough to become the most prized treasure in his Medicine Garden.

He was just showing off when he said he didn't care. Who could stay calm in front of a Earth-grade Spirit Medicine?

Moreover, the Fire Dragon Fruit produced by the mutated Fire Dragon Fruit Tree is useful to him, and of immense value.

If eating raw Fire Dragon Fruit previously increased resistance to fire, then the newly grown ice fruit will, unsurprisingly, increase resistance to cold after consumption.

What a coincidence! His newly created Cultivation Method requires tempering the body with magma and with cold air, and even with the presence of the Water Bear Gu, the risk of death is still very high.

But now that he has the fire Fire Dragon Fruit that increases fire resistance and the Ice Dragon Fruit that increases cold resistance, his Flame Clone's survival rate will be greatly improved when cultivating the first two levels of the Cultivation Method.

I can't speak for the last two levels, but with the help of these two magical fruits, it's highly likely that the clones were able to successfully cultivate the first two levels. These two fruits really came at the perfect time.

Long Xuan couldn't help but marvel at his incredible luck; it was as if he'd been given a script, getting exactly what he needed.

Now he has even greater confidence in mastering this extraordinary skill.

He officially named this extraordinary skill "Purgatory True Demon Art," a very imposing name.

If Cultivation Method involve the circulation of spiritual energy, then Body Refining Cultivation Method involve the movement of Qi and Blood, as well as the flexible use of physical strength.

The Qi and Blood in this world are not blood, but a kind of physical energy obtained through cultivation.

The Qi and Blood produced by each Cultivation Method are different, some strong and some weak.

The Qi and Blood cultivated through the "Reverse Dragon Art" is called True Dragon Qi-Blood.

So Long Xuan changed one character and named the Qi and Blood cultivated from the "Purgatory True Demon Art" as "True Demon Qi-Blood".

The first of the Three Essentials of Cultivation Methods of Body Refining Cultivation Method is how to circulate Qi and Blood; the latter two elements are the same as those of Cultivation Method.

Long Xuan has now completed the first and second elements of the Body Refining Cultivation Method, and he has also successfully researched the External Dharma Form.

After all, with the readily available "Reverse Dragon Art" as a reference, Long Xuan didn't need to rack his brains anymore. Therefore, his research on Divine Ability abilities progressed rapidly, and he completed it within two years.

The current progress of "Purgatory True Demon Art" is [12.5%].

He had completely completed the first level of the Cultivation Method, the Lava Swimming Chapter, and immediately handed it over to his Flame Clone to refine. The lava was in that cave abode, so he could go there himself.

He had already eaten most of the dragon Fire Dragon Fruit crawling on its skin because of his cravings. The taste was okay, but it was a bit too hot. Eating it felt like eating fire, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

However, as he ate more and more Fire Dragon Fruit, the discomfort gradually disappeared.

The more Fire Dragon Fruit he ate, the stronger his resistance to fire became. He had eaten countless Fire Dragon Fruit, and now Fire Dragon Fruit were of no use to him at all; he had developed a resistance.

As for the clones, there's no need for them to eat Fire Dragon Fruit; they can just watch from the sidelines. After all, all the attributes and abilities of the original body will be copied into the clones, so eating them would be a waste.

With the fire buff from the Fire Dragon Fruit and the immortality of the Water Bear Gu, Long Xuan believed that he had no problem cultivating the first level of the "Purgatory True Demon Art," at most it would hurt a little.

So he taught the newly created "Purgatory True Demon Art" to Flame Clone, and then sent him to swim in the lava near that cave abode.

The other clones won't go with us. The Flame Clone cultivates Blazing Spiritual Power, which belongs to Fire. He has the highest chance of surviving swimming in magma, so let's not waste the other clones.

Just to be on the safe side, he was given a bunch of healing pills before he left, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As for his original body, he could simply stay comfortably at home; he had no desire to suffer that kind of punishment.

How painful could swimming in lava be? Need you even imagine? It would be excruciating, worse than death. So let my clone do it for me.

As for his physical body, it had important things to do and didn't have time to run errands.

The first two elements of the Body Refining Cultivation Method have been completed, but what about the third element?

The third essential element of Body Refining Cultivation Method is to design matching physical techniques for Cultivation Method. Otherwise, no matter how strong his Body Refining Cultivation Method is, he will only be a brute with brute strength, without any skills to injure enemies, and he will not know how to utilize his brute strength.

Having strength but not knowing how to use it, only knowing how to throw punches, what's the difference between that and a street thug fighting? Once in a fight, no matter how strong you are, you'll only become a sitting duck.

Therefore, Body Refining Cultivation Method must be accompanied by physical skills, and Long Xuan plans to develop all the accompanying physical skills in one go.

After sending the Flame Clone, Long Xuan sat back down in the pavilion and began to ponder deeply, working on the corresponding physical techniques.

He was struck by a burst of inspiration, with a multitude of brilliant ideas flooding his mind, leaving him hesitant and unsure which to choose.

He couldn't help but lament that having too many wild ideas wasn't a good thing. His imagination ran wild, causing him to suffer from decision paralysis, a truly painful condition.

Finally, he used the process of elimination.

Since it is a complementary physical technique, the emphasis is on the word "complementary." It must be perfectly matched with the Cultivation Method and fully utilize the strengths of the Cultivation Method.

What are the strengths of the "Purgatory True Demon Art"?

It's not a suicidal cultivation process, nor is it some kind of abnormal and outrageous supernatural Divine Ability.

In fact, the true characteristic of "Purgatory True Demon Art" is its immortality.

The "Purgatory True Demon Art" and the Water Bear Gu are completely integrated; to practice this art, one must first practice the Water Bear Gu.

Without the Water Bear Gu, the "Purgatory True Demon Art" cannot be practiced at all; anyone who tries to practice it will die.

Moreover, when he created the "Purgatory True Demon Art", he borrowed a lot of content from the "Nine Deaths Divine Art", so the characteristic of this Cultivation Method is immortality, plus constantly courting death.

Having survived the baptism of magma, freezing air, Heavenly Flame, and Heavenly Tribulation, he could basically be considered an immortal being with an immortal body.

Therefore, cultivating the "Purgatory True Demon Art" is equivalent to cultivating an immortal body; immortality is the greatest characteristic of this Cultivation Method.

Therefore, the best physical techniques he could design to complement this Cultivation Method would be those that fully utilize this immortality.

With this narrowing down of options, a large number of wild ideas were eliminated, leaving Long Xuan with few choices and freeing him from the dilemma of making a decision.

What ability can best utilize the characteristics of immortality, and complement it?

Those are forbidden techniques that will cause death once used. These forbidden techniques are extremely powerful, but the price is one's own life.

These forbidden techniques are used to gain powerful attacks at the cost of one's life; they are desperate moves, meant to perish together with an invincible enemy.

However, if an immortal were to use these forbidden techniques, they could completely withstand their side effects, not only avoiding death but also enjoying the immense power of the forbidden techniques for free.

Such a person is truly terrifying, utterly appalling.

It's already terrifying enough that someone can keep amplifying their abilities, but he can keep unleashing forbidden techniques. Who can stand that? Who could be more terrifying than him? This kind of person is simply beyond the limit, seriously beyond the limit.

So Long Xuan started courting death again. His inspiration flowed freely, and he scribbled and drew on paper. Before long, he had written a terrifying outline of a forbidden technique, and even came up with a name for it in a short time.

He wrote the three large characters "Life-and-Death Gate" on the outline.

The Life-and-Death Gate: close the gate and you live; open the gate and you die. Life and death are separated by a single thought. The Life-and-Death Gate is divided into eight styles and eight gates.

His outline read:

The First Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: The Profound Gate

Gain immense power in a short period of time by burning blood.

The Second Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Martial Gate

By burning one's vital Qi and Blood, one can gain immense power in a short period of time.

The Third Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: The Spirit Gate

By burning spiritual energy, one can gain immense power in a short period of time.

Fourth Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Divine Gate

By burning one's spiritual energy, one can gain immense power in a short period of time.

Fifth Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Star Gate

To gain immense power in a short period of time by burning one's life force.

The Sixth Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Heavenly Gate

To gain immense power in a short period of time at the cost of burning one's lifespan.

The Seventh Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Dragon Gate

By burning away one's potential, one can gain immense power in a short period of time.

Eighth Form of the Life-and-Death Gate: Ghost Gate

To gain immense power in a short period of time at the cost of burning one's soul power.

All eight gates opened simultaneously, causing cataclysmic destruction.

This is the terrifying forbidden technique he researched, an extremely dangerous forbidden technique, a forbidden technique that would terrify anyone to death.

Opening just one gate is enough to wreak havoc; the power gained from opening all eight gates is simply unimaginable.

One has to gasp in shock; it's terrifying.

Because the body needs to withstand power far beyond its current level, it suffers a severe blow every time a door is opened.

The more gates are opened, the more severe the injuries to the body become. Opening eight gates in a row will surely lead to death. Only by cultivating the "Purgatory True Demon Art" and the Blood Pact Water Bear Gu can one have a sliver of hope.

Of course, to survive, it's impossible to open all the doors, such as the Heavenly Gate, which requires burning one's lifespan to gain power.

The Heavenly Gate can only be opened halfway, or even only a small part; otherwise, no matter how strong the Water Bear Gu is, it cannot survive without its lifespan.

Therefore, even if Long Xuan wanted to unleash the full power of the "Life-and-Death Gate," he would die; at most, he could only use half of its power.

And the price to pay will be enormous, such as burning soul power, life force, and potential—and these things can't be recovered so easily.

Even with the immortal power of the Water Bear Gu, repairing one's soul and aptitude would likely be extremely difficult.

This is no longer just a physical technique; it's a forbidden art, a forbidden art of terrifying proportions.

Long Xuan suddenly realized that he had gone off-topic in his creation. This thing was no longer related to physical techniques, right? Only the first two techniques could be considered physical techniques.

That's all for now. The arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released; there's no turning back.

Since there's no limit to the number of accompanying physical techniques, I can just create another pure physical technique next time.

Long Xuan was in a state of extreme excitement, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was full of energy. Soon, the sound of pen scratching could be heard on the table.

And so another year passed in the blink of an eye. During this year, under the arduous training of the Flame Clone, Long Xuan's physical strength increased rapidly.

He increased his physical strength simply by sitting still; now he's strong enough to kill a bull with one punch.

Someone who is lazy all day long and never practices has made rapid progress; he can be considered the first person in history to do so.

Meanwhile, with the help of his other clones, Long Xuan was already close to the Marrow Cleansing Stage and needed to prepare for breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

He was slow to realize it, and it took him a long time to discover that he was about to break through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage. He had to admit that these clones were incredibly powerful; he could improve his cultivation simply by drinking water and eating every day. Cultivation was simply too easy for him.

Over the course of a year, Long Xuan worked tirelessly day and night, and his hard work finally paid off; he completed "The Life-and-Death Gate."

"The Life-and-Death Gate and Death" and "Energy Bomb" are similar in principle, even though they come from different paths. "The Life-and-Death Gate" can even use the energy obtained from the Eight Gates to condense an energy ball that can explode and attack enemies, and its power is considerable.

When the eight energies combine into one, they undergo a qualitative change, resulting in a qualitative leap. Their power is far greater than simply the sum of the eight.

He named this transformative energy "the Ghost-God Power."

If the energy level of spiritual power is one, and the energy level of lifespan is two, then the energy level of the Ghost-God Power is three.

The power of lifespan is ten times stronger than spiritual power, while the Ghost-God Power is a hundred times stronger than spiritual power, or even far more than a hundred times stronger.

Furthermore, according to the plan on paper, the Ghost-God Power can also be contained in the Dharma form. In battle, he can infuse the Ghost-God Power into the Divine Dragon Manifestation and control the Divine Dragon Manifestation to attack the opponent, launching the Night Kai attack. Even if the opponent is a whole realm higher than the caster, they will be finished if they are hit by this move.

With all eight gates open, it's simply unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike, and even ghosts who come to slay them. Whoever dares to challenge it dies; it's incredibly powerful.

Excitement shone in Long Xuan's eyes; he was extremely excited.

He felt his life had been worthwhile, having been able to research such a forbidden technique.

Since the forbidden techniques "Energy Bomb" and "Life-and-Death Gate" share some similarities, they can corroborate each other.

Therefore, Long Xuan's research on "The Life-and-Death Gate" progressed extremely quickly. He never experienced a writer's block and completed "The Life-and-Death Gate" in just one year.

However, Long Xuan always doubted who would be able to force him to use the "Life-and-Death Gate" in the future, or even release Ye Kai. He was afraid it would be a very, very long time before he could use this move.

They might never even have the chance to use it in their lifetime. With their extremely cautious nature, how could they possibly encounter danger so easily?
