Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Supreme Defensive Cultivation Technique "Golden Bell Shield" (First Update)
As Lu Changsheng watched "Wing Chun Divine Fist," a familiar figure stood erect amidst chaos, practicing against a wooden dummy, executing Wing Chun movements. With a series of moves, inch force erupted, shattering the wooden dummy into pieces.
"This is very likely a scene of the leading disciple of the Martial Alliance, Ye Wen, demonstrating Wing Chun fist in the future, as simulated by the system," Lu Changsheng mused.
Lu Changsheng, with his Innate Taoist Body, could still start learning even a middle-grade Immortal tier martial technique.
Learning a martial technique of the middle-grade Immortal rank for self-defense is also quite good.
Lu Changsheng then taught Lu Qinglian the "Tendon-separating, Bone-dislocating, Entangling Dragon Hand," "Thunderbolt Divine Leg," and "Iron Body Martial Art," forging an unrivaled Martial God.
[Ding, you have bestowed the middle-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Tendon-separating, Bone-dislocating, Entangling Dragon Hand" to your disciple Lu Qinglian, gaining a four hundredfold disciple reward: a lower-grade Immortal rank martial technique "Coiling Dragon Capture Skills".]
[Ding, you have bestowed the lower-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Thunderbolt Divine Leg" to your disciple Lu Qinglian, gaining a hundredfold disciple reward: a higher-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Lightning Tenfold Whip".]
[Ding, you have bestowed the lower-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Iron Body Martial Art" to your disciple Lu Qinglian, gaining a three hundredfold disciple reward: a higher-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Vajra Indestructible Skills".]
"'Vajra Indestructible Skills', isn't this one of the great exclusive techniques of the Immeasurable Temple? It seems martial arts have commonalities," Lu Changsheng reflected.
Lu Changsheng found the defensive secret technique quite interesting.
During the battle against the Demon Race's Savage Elephant King, the Savage Elephant King had used "Vajra Indestructible Skills" to strengthen his physique.
Practicing "Vajra Indestructible Skills" is akin to having an extra life-saving measure.
Although "Vajra Indestructible Skills" is marvelous, to Lu Changsheng, who has a Seven Revolutions Divine Body and is protected by the Mysterious Yellow Tower and Enlightenment Daoist Robe, it ultimately still lacks a bit of appeal—it's like a soldier wearing iron armor and then putting on an extra layer of leather armor.
"Lian, don't bother learning that 'Iron Body Martial Art' from earlier, directly learn this one."
Having acquired "Vajra Indestructible Skills," Lu Changsheng arranged for Lu Qinglian to practice this secret technique.
"Vajra Indestructible Skills" is very effective until the Great Accomplishment of the Void Refinement Realm.
"Master's techniques are numerous indeed," Lu Qinglian said.
Lu Qinglian had just received the lower-grade Heaven rank "Iron Body Martial Art," only to find it obsolete before even half a pot of tea's worth of practice?
However, with "Vajra Indestructible Skills" available, there was no need to waste time practicing the "Iron Body Martial Art."
[Ding, you have bestowed the higher-grade Heaven rank martial technique "Vajra Indestructible Skills" to your disciple Lu Qinglian, gaining a millionfold disciple reward: an upper-grade Immortal rank martial technique "Golden Bell Shield".]
The Golden Bell Shield!
This is actually an upper-grade Immortal rank defensive martial technique!
Excellent.
Lu Changsheng realized the importance of this martial technique.
"Golden Bell Shield," as a defensive technique, can save one's life not only in combat but also during tribulation transcending.
The Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation drawn by an Innate Taoist Body is extremely terrifying, and Lu Changsheng did not have the confidence to survive it.
If he mastered the upper-grade Immortal rank defensive technique Golden Bell Shield, then the success rate of surviving the tribulation would increase significantly. Even the Heavenly Tribulation would struggle to destroy the physical body.
The more exceptional the genius, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, the more life-saving measures before tribulation, the better.
"'Golden Bell Shield,' a supreme defensive martial technique, consists of twelve layers. After reaching Great Perfection, upon being struck, it can reduce pain, protect the internal organs, render one invulnerable to blade and spear, impervious to water and fire, and can even rebound and injure the enemy. The higher the level, the more formidable the protective ability."
Lu Changsheng looked at the system's introduction of the "Golden Bell Shield," his scalp tingling with apprehension. A superior Immortal-rank defensive cultivation technique—once cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm, who in this world could possibly kill him?
At the highest realm of the "Golden Bell Shield," if attacked by an opponent, it could even injure the attacker. Wasn't this akin to wearing a coat of armor that strikes back?
Intuition told Lu Changsheng that if he wanted to survive, to pass the Tribulation, he must cultivate this top-tier defensive cultivation technique.
This "Golden Bell Shield" might very well be the key to surviving the Tribulation.
"Whether it's the Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation or the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation, both will be incredibly terrifying, even more fearsome than any enemy. That is the most likely hurdle that could lead to my demise.
Only with the 'Golden Bell Shield,' coupled with the Nine Revolutions Divine Body, the Mysterious Yellow Tower, the Enlightenment Daoist Robe, and other defensive artifacts, will I be able to overcome a tribulation."
When Lu Changsheng made a breakthrough to the Dao Palace Realm, he barely survived the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation. The Sixfold and Ninefold Heavenly Tribulations would only grow exponentially in power.
Now that he had obtained the defensive secret technique "Golden Bell Shield," Lu Changsheng felt much more at ease.
After Lu Qinglian left, Lu Changsheng began to comprehend the first layer of the "Golden Bell Shield."
"It's not easy."
Lu Changsheng, with an Innate Taoist Body and an eighth level cultivation in the Void Refinement Realm, found cultivating the first layer somewhat difficult.
The "Golden Bell Shield" was two ranks higher than the "Primordial Sword Scripture," making it much more challenging.
"Who knows when I'll be able to cultivate the twelfth layer."
"If this cultivation technique were to spread, all the strong beings in this world would probably be alarmed, after all, this is a supreme Immortal-rank superior defensive technique, and it does not conflict with Body Tempering Methods."
Lu Changsheng believed that if the Martial Alliance became aware that he possessed such a supreme defensive cultivation technique, they would be willing to exchange the entire sect's techniques for the "Golden Bell Shield."
The life-saving ability of this technique was incredibly strong, and it would also aid in passing the Tribulation.
"As long as I bide my time, obtain superior Immortal Artifacts, and cultivate the 'Golden Bell Shield' to Great Perfection, I could virtually walk unchallenged in this realm."
Lu Changsheng understood that the peak power this realm could accommodate was after the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, and he took that to heart.
The next day, Lu Changsheng summoned his third disciple, Mo Huazhi, to pass on the Power-infusing Initiation, returning 11,000 years of Heavenly Cultivation to her.
Lu Changsheng bestowed upon her the medium-grade Innate Immortal Artifact "Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Brush," returning the high-grade Innate Immortal Artifact "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Brush."
Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Brush?
Lu Changsheng mumbled to himself; wasn't his fifth disciple, Ji Xuan, a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?
Could it be that this artifact was crafted from the hairs of her fox tails?
It seems the value of his disciple's fox tails is worth a fortune.
Lu Changsheng also granted Heavenly Timber Paper and the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Stone Inkstone while returning the Jade Leaf Paper and the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Inkstone.
Lu Changsheng then bestowed the Earth Rank cultivation technique "Gentleman Sword Skills" while returning the Heaven Rank technique "Ink-Splashing Sword Skills."
He bestowed the Earth Rank technique "Divination," returning the Heaven Rank secret technique "Deduction Secret Skills."
Another day passed, and Lu Changsheng awarded the "Ink-Splashing Sword Skills," returning the lower Immortal Rank technique "King's Way Sword." This technique required the practitioner to cultivate the "Magnificent Righteous Qi Art" and condense the King's Way Sword Qi with the Magnificent Righteous Qi.
In order to cultivate a qualified Literary Sage, Lu Changsheng also imparted special techniques, such as "Plum Blossom Plays."
Lu Changsheng was responsible for instructing disciples and performing Power-infusing Initiation; as for their future achievements, it would depend on their own fortune.
After passing on more advanced artifacts and cultivation techniques to each disciple, Lu Changsheng continued to farm fragments of superior Immortal Artifacts and various high-level Elixir Pills.
Everything was peaceful at Qingyun Peak, and Lu Changsheng persisted in teaching his disciples for ten years.
