Chapter 830: The Mystery of the Seven Wonderful Techniques (Ⅰ)

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“The Yin and Yang Transformation Skill and the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique?”

Zhou Bao’s eyes narrowed. If he had been only interested in the Seven Wonderful Techniques before, then now, after naming himself Taoist Cundi and snatching this name’s fate by force, he was determined to obtain these techniques. Since he had acquired five of them, he was well aware of the benefits that this set of secret skills could bring him. However, he did not have a clue about the remaining two techniques and had never even heard their names before. Therefore, he froze the moment that he heard them.

“Do you mean that one of the Seven Wonderful Techniques that I haven’t learned is on this mirror?”

“Yes, the Yin and Yang Transformation Skill!” Fate Creation Boy looked at Zhou Bao with an unfathomable expression, as if he was observing a rare animal. “So long as I control the device spirit of that mirror, I can attain the inheritance of this wonderful technique!”

“How do you know that?”

“That’s because it was forged in the Heaven Realm World. Although I’m not powerful, such a thing simply could not be concealed from me, and there was no need to do that at that time. That device spirit and I were very close in those days. I didn’t expect that it would be so miserable today.”

The following words went without saying. Fate Creation Boy and the Octupole Heaven and Earth Mirror were device spirits in nature. In antiquity times or even earlier times, Heavenly Fairy Weapons enjoyed considerable individual autonomy. Many Heavenly Fairy Weapons were ownerless and controlled completely by their device spirit. And there was not a big difference in the relationship between device spirits and that of common people. Thus, it was perfectly normal for them to strike up a close friendship with each other. As the device spirit of the Fairy Weapon of Fate, Fate Creation Boy building good relationships with other Heavenly Fairy Weapons was acceptable. In that case, it was normal for him to learn about the secrets of those device spirits.

“It seems that I’ve made a killing this time!”

“Of course you did. You’ve bagged six wonderful techniques. Such a thing has never happened since primitive times!”

“No way! I didn’t think it was difficult to get the Seven Wonderful Techniques!”

“Humph, the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and the Heavenly Jade Technique have long been spread in the Void Universe. And although they are marvelous, it’s still possible to learn them. Nevertheless, the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, the Red Centipede Mind-concentrating Skill, and the Immortal Body Technique are top secret skills in those influences and sects. In ordinary times, it’s impossible for anyone to secure them. Hence, it’s a blessing to those who procure a single one of them. How can they attain all of them in one go like you and be able to achieve the phase of the Gathering of Three Flowers? As for the Yin and Yang Transformation Skill...” At this point, Fate Creation Boy glanced at Zhou Bao with an unfathomable expression. “Since primitive times, only the Octupole Heaven and Earth Mirror and I have known the whereabouts of this technique. After the tribulation occurred in primitive times, the mirror was severely injured and it’s just recovered a little bit since then. It’s easy for other people to control it, but if they wish to garner its inheritance, an extremely special technique is required to totally awaken its device spirit. And I’m the only one who is aware of that. Therefore, it’s not due to your good luck, but your destiny that this wonderful technique should fall into your hands!”

“It’s destined to be? Well then, do you know the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique?”

“Hard to say.”

“What do you mean?”

“It doesn’t exist in the Void Universe because it has been brought to the Void Immortal Realm by mighty experts from primitive times. If you crave it, you can only search for it in the Void Immortal Realm!”

“The Void Immortal Realm?” Zhou Bao thought for a while and scrapped the idea of seeking it right now. “Then, what can I do to refine this device spirit now?”

“It’s very simple...” Fate Creation Boy did not hide anything from Zhou Bao and immediately told him the technique of refining the Octupole Yin and Yang Mirror. Zhou Bao, however, did not stand on ceremony. He accepted it without question. Given his character, he was very anxious to sit down and comprehend it immediately. However, this was clearly not the right time.

Obviously, Fate Creation Boy had anticipated Zhou Bao’s return. He just had not expected that this day would come so soon and so coincidentally.

“What? You want to get the Child-endowing Buddha out of the Heaven Realm World?”

As soon as they sat down, Zhou Bao declared his plan, which startled both Fate Creation Boy and Wang She. Wang She stared at him and asked, “Since when are you on intimate terms with each other?”

“That doesn’t matter. The issue is that he is the key. As long as we get him out, the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s party will surely be defeated!” Zhou Bao added, “I always thought that they could pose the greatest threat to us. So it’s not necessarily a bad thing to eliminate them by the hands of the Devil Tribe!”

“Even you were able to figure out the significance of the Child-endowing Buddha. Do you think the Celestial Mystery Emperor cannot dope that out given his character? Perhaps he has already laid traps for you!” Wang She said with disdain, “You idiot, if you really desire to help him out, then don’t disclose the news in advance! Now that it has leaked, stop making such a muddle-headed attempt. Even if the Celestial Mystery Emperor’s party doesn’t expect us to save the Child-endowing Buddha, they will be on their guard and have probably protected him very well lest the Devil Tribe assassinate him. He may not be able to come out, not to mention let us save him!”

What Wang She said was reasonable. Zhou Bao always handled affairs in a disorderly manner. If he had helped the Child-endowing Buddha out before he spread the news, then it would have been a piece of cake. That was because the Child-endowing Buddha still enjoyed personal freedom and was able to make his appearance now and then in the Heaven Realm World at that time. But what about now? Since Zhou Bao gave away the news, as a person involved, the Child-endowing Buddha vanished from everyone’s sight and never showed up again. Apparently, someone had protected him out of the fear that he might have an accident.

“He once lived in the green lamp and the lamp has been refined by me. Although I terminated the contract with him, I can still make out his general location through the lamp!” That lamp was a highest-level Pure Yang Celestial Device, but Zhou Bao had taken away the Tusita Fire in it. As a result, its power had decreased dramatically. It did not do anything well, be it offense or defense; therefore, Zhou Bao always kept it in a corner of his collection. If it did not have a special connection with the Child-endowing Buddha, he would have given it away.

“That doesn’t work either. What if it’s a trap?” Wang She still disagreed with Zhou Bao. Fate Creation Boy and Lord of Heaven Black were lost in thought. They seemed to have concluded that they would get into trouble if they sought the Child-endowing Buddha.

“Why are you sure that he will be used as bait?”

“Just put this matter aside. You might as well refine the Octupole Yin and Yang Mirror and practice the Yin and Yang Transformation Skill. We’ll make a decision given the result of your practice!” said Fate Creation Boy.

“What?” Zhou Bao asked in bewilderment. “What does this have to do with the Yin and Yang Transformation Skill? Don’t tell me that I can defeat the Celestial Mystery Emperor after I have practiced this technique?”

“Well, that depends!” answered Fate Creation Boy. “The five wonderful techniques you’ve practiced earlier are all about the skill of applying power. This technique, however, contains the skill of practice apart from that. You’ll know that at first glance. You will probably enter the Immortal Realm directly after practicing it!”

“Enter the Immortal Realm directly? Are you kidding me?” Zhou Bao just considered it a joke. Nonetheless, he soon realized that Fate Creation Boy was not joking from his expression. His heart throbbed and he added, “Is it really that effective?”

“Just give it a shot!”

“Fine, I’ll try it!”

“The fate of heaven and earth enables the Yin and Yang to transform. Yin turns into Yang, and Yang turns into Yin...” The incantation of the Yin and Yang Transformation Skill lingered in Zhou Bao’s heart. He was astounded by it. Although he was practicing, his astonishment was obvious from the look on his face. “How could there be such a weird technique and such an effective cultivation method in this world?”

Except for shock, he could not think of another word to express his feelings.

The Yin and Yang Transformation Skill was totally different from the other five wonderful techniques. This was a technique used especially for practicing Qi, but it was terrifying.

And that was because it divided all the pneuma in the world into only two categories—Yin and Yang. Regardless of what kind of Spiritual Qi, pneuma, Devil Qi, or Evil Qi you needed while practicing, they would all be classified into those two categories. The word “transformation” meant that it was able to turn Yin into Yang, and vice versa. It sounded complicated, but it was indeed simple. When one exerted this technique while practicing, they did not need to choose which essence of the world they were going to absorb, they just had to breathe. All kinds of pneuma around the world—be it Evil Qi, Spiritual Qi, poisonous gas, or air—could be transformed into the Dharma power they needed through it. And that was its terrifying place.

Ordinary people struggled to search for the beneficial Spiritual Qi among every kind of pneuma while practicing. Furthermore, they exhaled the harmful part within the heterogeneous Spiritual Qi. This was the so-called “inhale and exhale”. Even the lowest-level cultivation methods could make use of nothing more than 20% of the pneuma at most. Higher-level cultivation methods were more demanding on the essence of the world and only a thousandth of the pneuma was useful. Therefore, the practice of practitioners had an extremely high requirement on the essence of the world. The density of the essence of the world was essential to practitioners. Without pneuma, practitioners would no longer exist. Limited pneuma would result in practitioners being restricted, and this was the elementary knowledge of the practice. The Yin and Yang Transformation Skill, however, violated this principle.
