Chapter 211: ### 153: Killing the Damned Zong, Comprehending the Heaven Rank Secret Technique! (5000)_3
For example, the Damned Zong’s Black Sha Palm belonged to a minor divine skill.
Su Xing’s Li Fire Technique, if cultivated to perfection, barely counted as a great divine power.
Arts and techniques were the most common attack methods, even Su Xing’s self-created Spirit Explosion Technique belonged to this category.
But secret techniques were classified, sometimes requiring a certain price to be executed.
Secret techniques and arts were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mystical, and Yellow… Above the Heaven rank, there was a special type of art called Dao Arts!
As the name implied, Dao Arts were near the Dao!
According to Shennong Youtian’s original words, Dao Arts were heaven-bestowed techniques, not something one could forcibly obtain. Only those who immersed themselves deeply into a particular domain might one day attain enlightenment and comprehend Dao Arts!
Those who comprehended Dao Arts might be ordinary people traveling hundreds of miles a day, ceaselessly, or might understand the Dao of Speed.
Or perhaps a chess master from the mortal realm, playing chess all his life, near the Dao, might also have a chance to comprehend Dao Arts.
Otherwise, even immortals with great abilities found it hard to comprehend Dao Arts.
In other words, Dao Arts might come from miscellaneous studies, whether it’s singing, playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting… or fortune-telling, each could have its Dao Arts.
The Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique belonged to Heavenly Rank secret techniques, and in the area of fortune-telling and destiny, it was near the Dao, close to Dao Arts.
Su Xing felt the profound essence of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique in his mind and murmured,
“No wonder this Damned Zong could escape for thousands of years under the pursuit of an entire sect… even in my numerous simulations, I couldn’t kill him!”
“So that’s it, getting this Dao Art that avoids danger, how could he not save his life?”
Su Xing sighed lightly and said,
“But, this Damned Zong at most only cultivated the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique to Minor Achievement. If he had Great Achievement… I’m afraid I wouldn’t even find him, he would have sensed it long ago and escaped!”
“Heh heh… too bad, Damned Zong, when I learn this secret technique, there will be no escaping from my grasp!”
Su Xing’s mouth slightly curved up.
The human fate chapter of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique not only had the means to predict auspiciousness and avoid danger but also discern one’s own fortune.
It had a profound technique, shielding heavenly secrets!
Of course, this could only shield one’s own heavenly secrets, so that divination and fortune-telling techniques couldn’t work.
This way, the technique of shielding heavenly secrets could thoroughly checkmate Damned Zong!
“When I master the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique and break through to the Broken Void Realm, I will be able to unexpectedly kill Damned Zong!”
Su Xing seemed to already see the accumulated treasures of Damned Zong waving to him.
“Above Damned Zong, it can wait for now, but now this Age of the End sub-world is at a critical juncture for exploration!”
Su Xing thought so as he looked at the simulation panel.
[After memorizing the human fate chapter of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, you set off again towards the Changchun Sect.]
[Three days later, you arrived at the Changchun Sect and met the Sect Master.]
[The Sect Master was extremely terrified upon seeing you, as he recognized that you were one of the two cultivators who fought above the Changchun Sect a few months ago.]
[That day, your sky-shaking power had already left them stunned.]
[The Sect Master had immense respect for you and asked the purpose of your visit.]
[Seeing the Sect Master was so perceptive, you decided to save the trouble and directly stated your purpose.]
[The Sect Master naturally did not dare refuse and thus summoned the innate martial artist of the Changchun Sect.]
[The innate martial artist of the Changchun Sect, with a wrinkled face and seemingly very old, had the strongest cultivation among the three innate martial artists.]
[Upon meeting you, the old man addressed you as senior and decisively handed over the broken jade.]
[But he told you that the Changchun Sect’s cultivation technique, the Changchun Technique, had been lost over a hundred years ago.]
[Your heart stirred, understanding that the Changchun Technique had been stolen by Damned Zong and was now with you.]
[You used divine sense to inspect the old man and were surprised to find that besides his Body Refinement Cultivation Level, he was actually a cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core Stage!]
[Although a Golden Core Stage cultivator was not strong, he was the deepest Qi Refining Cultivation you’ve seen in this Xianwu Era.]
[In your opinion, this old man might know more about ancient cultivators and relics, as well as this jade pendant.]
[So you asked him.]
[The old man naturally told everything he knew. He seemed to believe you were an ancient cultivator awakened from slumber.]
[He told you that a thousand years ago, the Changchun Sect, Fusheng Sect, and Xuanhuang Sect were one and the same. At that time, the Changchun Sect was still called the Wan Mu Sect!]
[The Wan Mu Sect was considered one of the most powerful sects in this world thousands of years ago. It’s even rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, it had produced immortals!]
[But since ten thousand years ago, after a massive crisis, the heavenly spiritual energy gradually dissipated, and it became increasingly difficult for Qi Cultivation cultivators to cultivate.]
[This also led to the fact that in the past ten thousand years, even cultivators of Divinity Transformation and Return to Void stages became extremely rare.]
[Several thousand years ago, the spiritual energy almost disappeared. All Qi Refining Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage took a type of elixir called Huangquan Elixir, hoping to prolong their lives.]
[Due to the slumber of Qi Refining Cultivators and the difficulty of Body Cultivation, over a thousand years, the entire continent’s strength declined from cultivation to martial arts!]
[Due to the severance of spiritual energy, there were fewer people with spiritual roots, and Qi Cultivation cultivators nearly vanished.]
[A thousand years ago, the Wan Mu Sect experienced a dramatic split among senior and junior brothers, resulting in the division into three top martial sects that are mutually hostile to this day.]
[Following that upheaval, the Wan Mu Sect’s Heavenly Grade technique, the Wan Mu Art, was split into three parts, becoming the Changchun Technique, Xuanhuang Technique, and Fusheng Technique…]
Su Xing saw this and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“A Heavenly Grade Technique!?”
“Could it be… a Qi Refinement technique that can cultivate immortals!?”
