Chapter 509 - 515: The Method of Body Forging! Undying Immortal Scripture! (Fifth update)
Yang Zhen burst into laughter and rushed up, shouting, “Because with the mighty Sao Saint here, it’s hard not to get rich!”
“Roar, roar, roar!” The Sneaky Cat was also excited, and the two of them dived straight into the secret hoard of the Undying Clan, packing all the items they could take into their storage rings.
After half a day of packing, Yang Zhen suddenly paused.
The Sneaky Cat also paused at the same time, looking at its empty hands and cursed, “Damn it, there are no more storage rings. Do you have any left?”
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “I don’t have any either. There’s still so much elixir here. What do we do?”
“Should we, um, wrap it up in a bundle?”
“No, a bundle is not safe, and it’s too conspicuous. It goes against the low-key style of the Sao Saint.”
“Whoa, when have you ever been low-key? If we don’t wrap it up, what should we do?”
“How about, we eat all these elixirs?”
“Huh, fantastic idea!”
“I’ll have these.”
“These are mine, damn it, they’re all good elixirs. Hey, kid, did you find that body tempering technique?”
“You mean the body tempering technique called the Underlying Immortal Scripture?”
“Yes, yes, that one!”
Yang Zhen flashed a smirk, swept an entire shelf of elixir bottles in front of him, and said, “Don’t focus just on eating, you’ll need to watch my back later. I’m going to cultivate!”
“Whoa, you really found it!” The Sneaky Cat was startled and then interested, “I’ve never seen you cultivate before. Suddenly, I’m curious about how fast you cultivate. Don’t worry, go ahead and cultivate, there should be no one here. However, how did you get inside?”
Yang Zhen neatly arranged the elixir to avoid any mix-up in the heat of the moment, chuckled, and replied:
“The Undying Clan are experts at the Ksitigarbha Skill and profound principles. The whole valley is inscribed with prohibitions that utilize the Ksitigarbha Skill and profound principles of heaven and earth. No one can mobilize their True Essence here. Haven’t you noticed that there was no Heaven and Earth True Essence in the entire valley when we entered?”
“Oh my, I indeed didn’t notice if you hadn’t mentioned it. No True Essence, no flying. No wonder Lu Tianwei was in such a sorry state. But since there’s no True Essence, how did you get in?”
“Who am I, the Sao Saint? This prohibition restrains common people only. Think about it, if no one can fly, how did the people of the Undying Clan get in?”
The Sneaky Cat was stunned. It blankly shook its head and said, “Like the way you just did?”
“Yes!” Yang Zhen cursed, “How sinister! They left only one path into the whole valley, the same path that the Sao Saint just took. As long as you find that path, it’s like entering a tunnel. You can get in very easily.”
“Holy shit, really?”
“Stop messing around. Be on guard. I’m going to start cultivating. It won’t take long.”
“Kid, don’t boast. Even if you were extremely talented, the Undying Immortal Scripture isn’t something you can master overnight.”
The Sneaky Cat was clearly dismissive of Yang Zhen’s words.
“What about we place another bet?” Yang Zhen looked at the Sneaky Cat with a teasing smile.
Upon hearing the words “make a bet”, the cat’s face changed, it pretended not to hear half of it, and quickly dumped a pill into its mouth.
Yang Zhen looked at the cat with disdain, crossed his legs, and began to practice the Undying Scripture.
As the cat said, the Undying Immortal Scripture was a kind of body-refining method that absorbed the purest energy in the world, not the Heaven and Earth True Essence.
What Yang Zhen didn’t expect was that the energy absorbed by this Undying Scripture from the world was astonishingly complex!
With such a complex worldly energy, it was surprising how potent it was. Without a second thought, Yang Zhen discarded most of it and only retained a cold aura.
This breath of cold was the essence of all things, ubiquitous, extremely rare, and difficult to absorb. At least Yang Zhen had only come across one Undying Scripture that could absorb such energy.
This vital energy of the world, a very faint energy found in all things in the world, was the main focus of cultivation of the Undying Scripture. After consuming a lot of this vital essence, it would form a power similar to the breath of undying in the body. This was also the power of undying Elder Qian and others felt in the Black Pool.
Yet, Yang Zhen did not understand why the Undying Clan would absorb and refine other energies if this vital energy existed. Wasn’t that just adding legs to a snake?
Little did Yang Zhen know, this vital life force was incredibly scarce and extremely slow to cultivate. Discarding other energies and only focusing on Undying Scripture was the real original version of the Undying Scripture. It was just too slow to cultivate, which is why the descendants of the Undying Clan made such a desperate change.
A light-green glow radiated from Yang Zhen. The cat stopped stuffing the pills into its mouth and belched, making a face and said, “Although the Undying Scripture can achieve Bodily Ascension to Saint, getting to that stage is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”
While speaking, the cat widened its eyes in astonishment, “Holy crap! To have understood it so quickly, what a freak! But if you can master this in a day, I will leave all these pills to you.”
After speaking, the cat leaned back comfortably, leisurely digesting the pill it had swallowed.
These pills were all excellent, even the cat needed to rest for a while, digest it before continuing to eat.
Then, something happened that almost made the cat shove a pill up his nose.
Yang Zhen closed his eyes, and with a clap of his hands, a bunch of pill bottles instantly burst. Dozens of pills floated in the air, lined up aiming at Yang Zhen’s mouth, and he swallowed them all.
The cat jumped in fright, quickly took out a pill that was about to go up his nostril, and yelled, “Are you mad! If you stuff so many pills in your mouth, you’ll explode in no time.”
After he finished speaking, the cat nervously was about to rush over to stop the pills that were still being crammed into Yang Zhen’s mouth.
At that moment, Yang Zhen let out a burp, and a compelling blast of energy broke out of his body, followed by a surge of undying breath.
Craack——!
The aura exploded on Yang Zhen’s body. A storm of life force revolving at an incredibly strange speed formed around him.
Strange energy surged from Yang Zhen, even the cat could feel that the Undying Scripture within him was spinning crazily at an unimaginable speed.
“Damn, this is impossible!”
The cat rubbed his eyes, completely bemused and stared at the green light flowing on Yang Zhen’s skin. Its face was filled with shock.
“Mas…Mastered, damn, Yang Zhen, have you practiced this method before?”
The cat looked at Yang Zhen in shock and found that all the pill bottles in front of him started to float. It quickly grabbed a bottle, “What are you trying to do, boy? These are mine, these are…”
Boom!
All the pill bottles in front of the cat exploded. The cat plopped on the ground, threw the broken bottle on the floor in rage, “You bastard, robber, shameless bastard…”
