Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

Chapter 188: Chapter 184: Primordial Dragon Secret Technique

The goal of Five Qi Tongxuan is to use a special training method to strengthen the five organs to their absolute limit, thereby unlocking the body’s incredible latent potential.

However, completing the training of the five organs and reaching the Five Qi Realm is not actually the pinnacle of the Inner Cultivation stage.

Only by using powerful willpower and skill to unify the body and cycle the five organs—causing them to regenerate endlessly until they are nearly one—can one completely unleash their power and cause it to transcend.

This is the realm of Five Qi Chaoyuan.

The body becomes as strong as a Ghost God. When spirit, physical ability, and fist techniques all merge, various phenomena are born.

Auspicious aura arises, and radiant light protects the body!

And now, Zhao Yuan had reached such a realm.

HISS!!

ROAR!!

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuanqi’s body was also undergoing a massive transformation. A sound like the roar of a wild beast was actually coming from within him.

This was the result of his five organs churning violently.

The roars emanating from his five organs had an incredibly vicious feel to them. It was as if ferocious beasts truly lived inside his body. While they provided him with savage power, they were also destroying his body with their terrifying bestiality.

This wasn’t auspicious qi. It was Evil Qi!!

Yet, under the control of Zhao Xuanqi’s will, the layers of roars actually began to move toward a kind of harmony.

The Five Evils do not function through endless regeneration, but through the mutual suppression of the Five Elements!

Pitting Evil against Evil!

HUMMM!

From the Huangting within his body, the Five Evils churned together, transforming into a faint, spectral light that spread out to envelop him.

Crimson was the Celestial Fire Evil of the heart. Dark green was the Yin Wood Evil of the liver. Blue-black was the Profound Water Evil of the kidneys. Platinum-white was the Geng Metal Evil of the lungs. And ink-black was the Black Earth Fiend of the spleen.

The five-colored dark light swirled into one. It held none of the feeling of auspiciousness or divinity. Instead, it was filled with terrifying ferocity, killing intent, and an ominous aura. It framed Zhao Xuanqi like a world-ending demon, his every move carrying a palpable, horrifying threat.

"Five Evils Turned into Fortune... It’s really Five Evils Turned into Fortune... I can’t believe I’m seeing this with my own eyes..."

Shi Huai’an muttered to himself, his whole body trembling slightly.

’When one uses the Five Evils Technique to achieve Tongxuan in the organs and reach the highest realm of Inner Cultivation... the final characteristic isn’t Five Qi Tongxuan, but Five Evils Turned into Fortune!’

’The Five Evils Technique draws Evil Qi into the body. It’s practically like using a Cross-Training method for Inner Cultivation. Upon success, the power of one’s organs will reach a truly terrifying level.’

’In fact, this formidable power will exceed the body’s own limits.’

’For example, during Heart Tongxuan, the Celestial Fire Evil erupts. Qi and Blood surge madly, and body temperature skyrockets. The blood vessels and other organs simply can’t withstand such a burst of Qi and Blood, which severely limits the full expression of the heart’s Celestial Fire Evil.’

’However, once the Five Evils are complete, pitting Evil against Evil can drastically reduce the damage they cause to the body. Only the beneficial enhancements remain, allowing every single organ to unleash its greatest power!!’

’This is what’s known as Five Evils Turned into Fortune!’

ROAR!!

Fueled by his terrifying physical ability, Zhao Xuanqi’s spiritual aura erupted. A beastly roar echoed as the Form of a Qilin materialized, and an immense pressure crashed down.

"This is..."

Across from him, Zhao Yuan’s pupils shrank, seemingly shaken by the Tongxuan power Zhao Xuanqi was displaying. But given his profound understanding of the Martial Dao, he was a quick study and soon grasped the core principle.

’Evil Qi, is it? He’s achieved some sort of balance, causing the Evil Qi to suppress one another and unleash his physical ability? So this is the Profound Technique of the Hundred Beasts Fist’s Inner Cultivation method? To think such a training method exists... It’s truly divine.’

’However, when it comes to the word ’balance,’ who in this world can compare to my Primordial Dragon Secret Technique?’

A slight smile touched the corners of Zhao Yuan’s lips.

BANG!!

A muffled bang erupted from within him. His body abruptly entered the states of Qi Surge and Breaking Extreme, growing incredibly tall and muscular. Simultaneously, the radiant, auspicious aura surrounding him trembled violently and took form, creating a colorful ribbon like a Wandering Dragon that coiled and swam around his body.

And this was just the beginning.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!

A series of muffled bangs echoed from Zhao Yuan’s body, as if he were shattering one set of shackles after another.

With each bang, the radiant, auspicious aura around him intensified. Another Wandering Dragon would appear, and the presence he exuded grew even more terrifying.

Ten!

Eleven!

Twelve!

...

Twenty!!

The number of Wandering Dragons coiling around Zhao Yuan was still climbing. The radiant, auspicious aura around him had swelled to a terrifying degree, faintly solidifying from its ethereal form and casting a pale glow upon the night sky.

The intense presence, as if declaring he was unrivaled in all of creation, forced Shi Huai’an and Zhang Hongyun to retreat. An almost uncontrollable stiffness and numbness began to creep into their bodies.

’This presence... is still growing, as if without limit. Is this the Primordial Dragon Secret Technique?!’

’How is he doing this?! You have to understand, a presence doesn’t grow from nothing. No matter how powerful the spirit, it needs the body as a bridge to affect reality. Without a body strong enough, even the most powerful spirit is useless!’

’This meant that Zhao Yuan’s physical ability was also increasing at a rapid, seemingly limitless rate!!’

’This was beyond all reason!!’

"The Primordial Dragon Secret Technique?"

Under the pressure of this presence, even Zhao Xuanqi began to feel his spirit being suppressed—something that should have been unimaginable, given his Qilin’s Intent.

’This meant that his opponent’s physical ability was already starting to completely overwhelm his own, which was not yet augmented by any Secret Techniques.’

However, he was also beginning to see some clues—the truth behind the so-called Primordial Dragon Secret Technique.

’Legend has it that the Primordial Dragon Secret Technique is the pinnacle of all Martial Arts Secret Techniques in Martial History.’

’Every muffled bang from his body, like a shackle breaking, and every new Wandering Dragon appearing by his side... perhaps each one represents a Secret Technique!’

’Only Secret Techniques could allow his physical ability and spirit to rise to such a degree.’

’In other words, he has simultaneously stacked more than twenty Secret Techniques within his body!!’

’While Secret Techniques can generate extremely powerful bursts of physical ability, they also cause immense damage to the body. That is the price one must pay.’

’Even someone with my previous capabilities would put immense strain on his body by stacking just three or four Secret Techniques.’

’And now, Zhao Yuan had simultaneously activated more than twenty Secret Techniques, and it didn’t even seem to be his limit!’

"’Balance?’"

Zhao Xuanqi suddenly understood.

’The Hundred Beasts Fist’s Five Evils Technique—the Five Evils Turned into Fortune—it works by finding a unique point of balance in the training method. That’s what allows it to transform the originally harmful Evil Qi into an opportunity to unlock physical ability.’

’And the Primordial Dragon Secret Technique... creates a balance between the Secret Techniques themselves!’

’It uses other Secret Techniques to cancel out the damage caused by the initial ones!’

’That approach, in itself, isn’t that difficult. Harmonizing one, two, or even three or four Secret Techniques to counteract or reduce their negative effects isn’t impossible.’

’The real difficulty lies in finding that subtle balance between ten, twenty, or even thirty Secret Techniques!’

"The Primordial Dragon Emperor... His Secret Techniques were said to number eighty-one," Lu Yuanxiang murmured. "When the eighty-one return to one, he is the sole sovereign between heaven and earth."
