158: Chapter 156 Spiritual Power Secret Technique 158: Chapter 156 Spiritual Power Secret Technique Qiyun Sect, Fairy Peak.
It was only after the last ridian in his back was completely penetrated that Ye Zhen finally let out a sigh of relief.
Under the care of Caiyi’s various precious spiritual dicines, it took Ye Zhen five days to mostly heal the wound on his back.
During those five days, the events of that day replayed dozens of tis in Ye Zhen’s mind, and he realized he had made a fatal mistake.
He was still not ruthless enough!
Ye Zhen did not regret getting injured in his effort to kill the Green-clothed Five Killers.
Even if it happened again, regardless of the severity of the injuries, he would definitely kill those five again.
However, the subsequent sneak attacks by Luv Congfei and Jiulie could have been avoided by Ye Zhen.
Back in the Black Water Legacy Mansion, Luv Congfei first used Ye Zhen and others as scapegoats, which led to several conflicts and sowed the seeds of disaster.
If Ye Zhen had been ruthless enough, he would have seized the opportunity to kill Luv Congfei when he made a move because of the Black Pearl, thus eliminating future troubles.
After this battle, Ye Zhen firmly rembered this lesson.
From now on, he would never raise a tiger to court danger!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhen finally extended his hand towards the Storage Bracelet where he stored the treasures he obtained from the Black Water Legacy Mansion.
After waiting for five days, he was eager to find out what the Black Pearl and the Jade Scroll were.
Whoosh!
When he took out the waterlon-sized black sphere again, it radiated brilliance that illuminated the Silent Chamber.
“Roar!”
The mont he took it out, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub by his side suddenly sprang up as if stimulated by sothing, retreated several steps, its tail rose high, and its fur bristled.
As if it encountered sothing terrifying, to counteract this fear, the cub even dispelled the Universe Ruyi Divine Ability, revealing its true form, and assud an attack stance, facing the black sphere from afar, with evident fear in its tiger eyes.
“What’s wrong, little cub?”
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
This ti, even Ye Zhen’s communication was of no use.
The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub just kept growling.
If it weren’t for Ye Zhen’s restraint, it might have bolted for the door long ago.
“An eyeball?”
Upon closer inspection, Ye Zhen was greatly surprised.
The black sphere in his hand, when rotated, had a shimr of liquid flowing within, resembling a colossal eyeball from afar.
“Could it be that this black sphere is the eyeball of so terrifying entity?”
This speculation could also explain why the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub was so terrified upon seeing the black sphere.
In the world of Demon Beasts, the hierarchy is very strict.
Before their spirit wisdom matures, lower-rank Demon Beasts have no choice but to submit when they encounter higher-rank Demon Beasts.
“Exactly what kind of terrifying Demon Beast could have an eyeball that, even after death, could cause such terror in a Cloud Winged Tiger?”
This was sothing that completely baffled Ye Zhen; the only conclusion was that the true form of this black eyeball was extrely terrifying.
The Cloud Winged Tiger itself has a Mid-grade Earth Level bloodline, and since there are Cloud Winged Tiger Kings among their ranks, even when encountering a Higher-grade Earth Level Monster Beast, it would surely not be terrified to this extent!
Perhaps only a Heavenly Level Middle Upper Grade Demon Beast could intimidate a Cloud Winged Tiger based on their rank.
But, to say it was the eyeball of a Heavenly Level Demon Beast – even the entire body of such a beast wouldn’t scare the Cloud Winged Tiger to this degree.
“Could it be that the eyeball’s true form is that of the legendary Spirit Beasts?”
This thought flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind, and he was alard at the possibility.
The classification of Demon Beasts is not as straightforward as that of the martial artists!
Their strength is divided into Fierce Beasts, Human-Level Demon Beasts, Earth Level Monster Beasts, and Heavenly Level Demon Beasts.
Those powerful Heavenly Level Demon Beasts, if they could open their spirit wisdom under the right conditions, would then beco Spirit Beasts.
Spirit Beasts are beings even Vein Forging Realm martial artists would flee from upon sight.
After studying the big black eyeball for a long ti, Ye Zhen could not discern any other unique aspects except that no matter how much spiritual power he channeled into it, it seed bottomless, like a deep abyss.
“Perhaps it is because my cultivation has not reached the necessary level to discern the miraculous aspects of this black eyeball?”
Having witnessed the mystery of the Old Tortoise of the Cold Pool, Ye Zhen understood that since it said the black eyeball was the most precious, then this object must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have frightened the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub to such an extent.
Putting away the black eyeball, Ye Zhen then took out the Jade Scroll he had retrieved from the Cold Pool.
Ye Zhen knew how to access the Jade Scroll; before one’s Divine Soul Power could be projected outward, rely pressing the scroll to the forehead and pouring Divine Sense into it would allow one to read its contents.
Click!
The mont the Jade Scroll touched his forehead, a tide of information surged into Ye Zhen’s mind.
The first thing that flooded in were eight thick characters.
Spiritual Power Secret Technique – Ice Fiend Qi!
Upon seeing these eight characters, Ye Zhen was overjoyed.
Spiritual Power Secret Technique!
In the beginning, Ye Zhen had only acquired a True Essence Secret Skill called True Essence Sword Finger, which allowed Ye Zhen to reign supre in all directions.
Even now, the True Essence Sword Finger still played an extrely significant role.
And now, he had actually obtained a Spiritual Power Secret Technique.
Following the eight large characters, a flood of information poured into Ye Zhen’s mind, all about the thods of cultivating the Spiritual Power Secret Technique known as Ice Fiend Qi.
This Ice Fiend Qi had a rather special cultivation thod.
To succeed in cultivating it, one must make use of a precious item.
Without this treasure, even with the Jade Scroll, it would be impossible to successfully cultivate the Ice Fiend Qi.
This treasure was the Ice Spirit Crystal at the bottom of the Cold Pool.
In Ye Zhen’s understanding, the Ice Fiend Qi involved refining the chilling power from the Ice Spirit Crystal with a special force and storing it in a corner of the body to be mobilized later to harm others.
The Ice Fiend Qi wasn’t a kind of Spiritual Power Secret Technique that you could use for a lifeti once cultivated; rather, it was consumable.
Once the Ice Fiend Qi stored in the body’s special acupoints was depleted, it was necessary to refine more Ice Spirit Crystals to replenish the Ice Fiend Qi.
However, precisely because it was consumable, the power of the Ice Fiend Qi was incredibly astonishing.
As stated in the Jade Scroll, if struck, even an existence at the Spirit Transformation Realm would suffer a great loss.
Typically, Martial Technique Secret Manuals tend to exaggerate the power described, but even if discounted, the Ice Fiend Qi’s ability to intimidate a warrior at the Spirit Transformation Realm was extrely formidable.
Just the thought was terrifying.
What would it look like if Ye Zhen’s normal Sword Gang suddenly transford into the amazingly powerful Ice Fiend Qi?
You should know that even Han Shi, who had reached the Late-stage of Spirit Summoning Realm, couldn’t last thirty breaths in the Cold Pool that day.
And that was just enduring the Cold Pool itself, without coming into contact with the Ice Spirit Crystal.
If the Ice Spirit Power within the Ice Spirit Crystal was absorbed and refined by Ye Zhen, and after the power was then enhanced through the special thod of cultivating Ice Fiend Qi, its power…
Suddenly, Ye Zhen felt that perhaps the description of Ice Fiend Qi’s power in the Jade Scroll was not an exaggeration.
At that mont, Ye Zhen imdiately took out a piece of Ice Spirit Crystal and started cultivating the Ice Fiend Qi.
In the mountains, ti is inexistent; half a month’s ti flashed by in an instant!
On Fairy Peak, Ye Zhen struck a wooden post with a True Essence Finger Sword.
The mont he struck, it was still the orthodox combination of True Yuan and Spiritual Power.
However, the mont he struck the post, Ye Zhen’s expression shifted.
An astonishing chill spread instantly, and the originally green True Essence Spiritual Power was imdiately replaced by a deep gray color.
Ice Fiend Qi!
Sss!
As the post split in two, a terrifying coldness perated the area.
The brown wooden post imdiately took on the deep gray color of the Ice Fiend Qi.
The sound of a piece being flung off and hitting the ground rang out, sounding almost like tal striking stone.
The Ice Fiend Qi had actually frozen the wooden post to be harder than tal.
What was more horrifying was that the piece of the post frozen by the Ice Fiend Qi fell onto an old pine tree.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally lush old pine withered at a visible rate, as if frozen to death by the icy frost of a bitter winter.
“Look at you….”
A faint fragrance wafted over as Caiyi glanced at Ye Zhen reproachfully and with a flick of her sword sent the post flying.
Her delicate hand touched the old pine, and its rapid withering imdiately ceased, but that was all Caiyi could manage.
The damage caused to the old pine by the Ice Fiend Qi was beyond Caiyi’s ability to reverse.
Ye Zhen started to smile.
That’s how Caiyi was, too kind.
Even if it was just flowers and grass, she would try to heal them if possible, of course, as long as she wasn’t disgusted by them.
“Caiyi, how’s my Ice Fiend Qi?” Ye Zhen casually asked.
With Caiyi, Ye Zhen almost had no secrets, and he didn’t try to hide anything about the Ice Fiend Qi from her.
“It’s very powerful…
However, such a powerful secret technique combined with your insufficient cultivation might harm you…”
Seeing this, Ye Zhen smiled wryly again.
Ever since he was injured last ti, Caiyi had been like this, expressing concern for his health within three sentences.
And it wasn’t a deliberate concern, but a natural instinct, just like eating and drinking.
“By the way, Caiyi, how are you doing with the Wind Cloud Sword Art I taught you?” Just a few days after returning, Ye Zhen had passed on the ntal thod for activating the Wind Cloud Sword Technique, the Wind Cloud Sword Art, to Caiyi.
Ye Zhen naturally wouldn’t be stingy with Caiyi.
Just like Caiyi would try to improve Ye Zhen’s cultivation in every possible way, if there was a chance, Ye Zhen would also strive to improve Caiyi’s cultivation.
“It’s extrely powerful and has fully unleashed the power of the Wind Cloud Sword Technique.
I believe that the power of the Wind Cloud Sword Art you gave may even surpass the original ntal thod that was lost in our Sect.”
“By the way, how did you comprehend it?
You are truly amazing.
The Sect Leader and several Sect Elders spent decades and didn’t match up with a decent ntal thod, but you figured it out after only a few days of learning!”
Caiyi looked at Ye Zhen with eyes full of admiration.
“Oh, it seems I’ve co at an inopportune ti, interrupting your sweet mont together!”
Though he said he was intruding, Liao Feibai’s steps did not halt for a mont as he barged in between Ye Zhen and Caiyi.
“Instructor Liao!”
Despite rolling his eyes, Ye Zhen always remained very respectful towards Liao Feibai.
Caiyi’s pretty face couldn’t help but turn red—no matter how many dozens or hundreds of tis Liao Feibai teased her, she would blush every single ti.
“Two pieces of news, one good, one bad.
Which would you like to hear first?” Liao Feibai stated bluntly.
