Chapter 344: Chapter 91: Heaven-Defying Treasure Technique
In the Quiet Chamber, wisps of smoke from the Spirit Incense had not yet dissipated.
Fang Cheng sat cross-legged on the Jade Couch, holding a completely empty Jade Bottle.
Before he knew it, an entire bottle of Jade Dew Golden Lotus Pills had been consumed. This time, he had spent over a month to replenish five Dream Spirit Incarnations.
These five Dream Spirits had all been derived from the Ten Directions Netherworld Refining Hell Profound Skill. Three had cultivated to the Peak of Life Soul, and two had reached the Late-Life Soul Stage.
The strongest among them had mastered a mysterious Treasure Technique in the Dream Spirit World and could now barely unleash a strike comparable to that of an Early-stage Dharma Phase Cultivator, much to Fang Cheng’s pleasant surprise.
He had gained another ace up his sleeve.
He sometimes found himself wondering, ’Are these Dream Spirit Worlds real, or are they just illusions?’
The Dream Spirit Secret Technique originated from the ruins of an ancient noble family beneath the Hanhai Desert. That family’s Noble Ancestor seemed to have been a peerless expert who had ascended to immortality.
’Was this incomparably profound secret technique left behind by that ascended expert, or did his descendants have some other fortuitous encounter?’
’Or perhaps the Ancestor was passing down his teachings from another realm...’
Fang Cheng picked up a stack of Snow Silkworm Paper beside him. He stared at the smoke-and-mist-like script upon it, lost in thought.
’I was adopted by the Chieftain of Black Wind Island in my youth. I began cultivating at seven, sensed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and opened my Qi Sea at nine, and reached the Fourth Layer of Sensing at thirteen, becoming a Tribulation Cultivator. The following year, due to my outstanding performance, the Chieftain promoted me to Seventh Chieftain of Black Wind Island.’
’At fifteen, I robbed a young master from a noble family and obtained a Beast Skin Ancient Scroll from him. After several months of arduous study, I finally comprehended the Visualization Diagram within the scroll and obtained the Void Ghost Marketplace Secret Technique.’
’The first time I entered the Void Ghost Marketplace, I happened upon a great power from another world who had set up a gambling den. I wagered a hundred Spirit Stones and won a fortune within an hour, obtaining a Second-Order Magical Artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope, two Mystic Skills Secret Methods, and three Ancient Pill Formulas.’
’At sixteen, I successfully cultivated the Ten Directions Netherworld Refining Hell Profound Skill and the Celestial Demon Divine Pearl Refining True Technique. My strength soared, and I broke through to the Sixth Layer of Sensing. On Black Wind Island, aside from the Chieftain, no one was my match. I then began searching for the Spiritual Medicines needed for the Black Tortoise Divine Pill.’
’At seventeen, the Chieftain offended an Elder of the Shuiyue Sword Sect. Numerous masters from the Shuiyue Sword Sect came out in full force to besiege Black Wind Island, intending to annihilate us Tribulation Cultivators.’
’The Shuiyue Sword Sect was one of the three major sects of the Fog Sea, with more than ten Life Talisman Masters within its ranks. I made a swift decision and fled without a fight.’
’Five Late Sensing Realm Disciples from the Shuiyue Sword Sect pursued me. I lured them to a deserted island and subdued them all with the Immortal Binding Rope. I had originally intended to kill all five to prevent future trouble, but seeing that two of the women were young and beautiful, with fair skin and flower-like faces, I changed my mind.’
’I had been a Tribulation Cultivator since childhood, my character steeped in vice. I was by no means a kind or pure person. I secretly killed the three male Shuiyue Sword Sect Disciples, plundered their belongings, and then continued my escape far away with the two female Disciples.’
’I found a deserted island and had my way with the two female Disciples from the Shuiyue Sword Sect. Female Sword Cultivators from a major sect were indeed different from the vulgar, fawning women back on Black Wind Island. No wonder people called female cultivators like them Fairies.’
’Unable to struggle or resist, the two Fairies became obedient and began to act as my concubines. For the next month, I cultivated arduously on the deserted island and finally broke through to the Seventh Layer of Sensing.’
’At eighteen, I brought my two concubines to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the headquarters of the Fog Sea’s Loose Cultivator Alliance, and successfully became a Loose Cultivator on the island.’
’Over the next few years, feelings grew between myself and the two women. I enjoyed a life of amorous bliss and promised them I would no longer engage in the business of a Tribulation Cultivator. Relying on the Immortal Binding Rope and my Unparalleled Profound Skill, I hunted a large number of sea beasts, exchanging them on Ten Thousand Immortals Island for the Spirit Stones and pills needed to sustain my cultivation. My Cultivation level steadily increased, and I became somewhat famous on the island.’
’At twenty-three, I finished gathering the Spiritual Medicines for the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, began the alchemy process, and successfully refined five pills.’
’The following year, with the help of the Black Tortoise Divine Pills, both of my concubines broke through to the Life Talisman realm. They wished to return to the Shuiyue Sword Sect to visit their friends and family. Under the pretext of a friendly spar, I fought them. They were still no match for the Immortal Binding Rope. I then defeated them again using the Netherworld Sword Technique and the Netherworld Hand Seal. Utterly convinced of my superiority, they never spoke of returning again.’
’At twenty-six, I condensed my own Life Talisman, and my fame spread throughout Ten Thousand Immortals Island. I was invited to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance, becoming the youngest Elder in the alliance’s history.’
’That same year, playing the part, I took three beautiful women from noble families as concubines. In my leisure time away from cultivation, I indulged in all the pleasures life had to offer.’
’At thirty, Ancient Ruins appeared at the edge of the Fog Sea. Numerous Cultivators entered, and all of them perished.’
’Several months later, countless terracotta warriors emerged from the ruins. They attacked any Cultivator on sight, and upon defeating them, would place a Divine Prohibition within the Cultivator’s soul.’
’These terracotta warriors were overwhelmingly powerful, all possessing Life Talisman Cultivation. They came to be known as Immortal Terracotta Warriors. Many island noble families had their Island Defense Arrays broken. The warriors invaded, and all the family’s Cultivators were placed under the Divine Prohibition.’
’Ten Thousand Immortals Island was not spared either. A Life Soul-level Immortal Terracotta Warrior descended and swept through us with unstoppable force, though it did not kill anyone. All of us were placed under the Divine Prohibition. Terrified and bewildered, we could not understand their purpose. Unfortunately, the Immortal Terracotta Warriors did not speak, so no one knew their intentions.’
’After that, the Baihua Sect, Shuiyue Sword Sect, and Beast Taming Sect in the Fog Sea Territory were also conquered by the Immortal Terracotta Warriors... Not only that, but I heard that the situation was similar in other sea regions within the North Sea. In just over a month, the vast North Sea Cultivation World, with its hundreds of millions of Cultivators, was completely conquered by the countless, tyrannical Immortal Terracotta Warriors.’
’At thirty-one, the Four Seas Immortal Court was established. The Immortal Emperor was a Tribulation Realm Immortal Terracotta Warrior, unrivaled in the world. Under its command were countless Immortal Terracotta Warriors of all levels. Across the four seas, everyone, from the nine great Dharma Level Immortal Dao Giants down to the numerous Life Talisman-level noble families, all submitted to the Immortal Court.’
