Chapter 634: A Method to Regain the Taoist Connotation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Heaven Patching Art?

Immediately, Xu Que was touched!

According to his memories in his past life, he knew the Heaven Patching Art was an art to remedy regret. Frankly speaking, it could offer people an opportunity to undo what they had done!

However, could this art be real? He couldn’t even find it in the system’s store. Apparently, the rank of this art must have been very high. It was unavailable for him, at least for now.

Moreover, if the Heaven Secret Pavilion really had this kind of art, they should have been invincible to the world!

Xu Que had realized suddenly, so he regained his calm. No matter whether the Heaven Secret Pavilion had this art or not, he couldn’t pin his hopes on it.

“I didn’t miss my guess, as expected. Your background is quite mysterious for you to even know of the Heaven Patching Art. I’m guessing you also know the effect of this art!” It seemed Han Ying had figured out something from Xu Que’s change of expression, so she delivered another message.

“To be frank, I don’t know the Heaven Patching Art. I’ve only read about it in books, which might be totally different from the Heaven Patching Art you mentioned!” Xu Que shook his head.

Even if the Heaven Patching Art was real and the same as the one he knew, it still wouldn’t help him to regain the Taoist Connotation.

The Heaven Patching Art could offer people an opportunity to undo what they had done, but that opportunity only lasted for a very short time.

For example, if one was injured, one could regain their uninjured status and avoid being injured by using the Heaven Patching Art.

Also, when one was about to die, one could use the Heaven Patching Art to avoid death.

This was the opportunity to undo what had been done!

However, he didn’t have the Taoist Connotation, which was a mistake he had made from the very beginning. Could the Heaven Patching Art also offer him an opportunity to correct that? The possibility was very low!

“Let me put it this way. Actually, I also don’t know the Heaven Patching Art. I guess no one in this world knows it. However, when my Master was young, he used to catch glimpses of the Heaven Patching Art. That glimpse gave him his current strength and status today!” Han Ying said while looking at Xu Que carefully, as if she was trying to glean more information from Xu Que’s expression.

However, this time, Xu Que was very calm. He said, shaking his head, “I also don’t know the Heaven Patching Art! However, I know that even the complete Heaven Patching Art couldn’t help me!”

“No, I’m sure there’s a way to regain your Taoist Connotation!” Han Ying said firmly this time.

Xu Que was stunned and raising his eyebrows, said, “Then tell me!”

Han Ying smiled and delivered a message. “The precondition is that you have to come with me to the Heaven Secret Pavilion and tell us the Heaven Patching Art you know!”

“Just that? That’s simple! I can tell you now, it’s not necessary for me to go to your Heaven Secret Pavilion!” Xu Que shrugged and was quite confused.

“No, you have to say it in front of my Master, then we’ll know whether you’re tricking us or not!” Han Ying said with a faint smile.

After dealing with Xu Que for a day, Han Ying knew clearly that she wouldn’t believe Xu Que’s words.

Only her Master could figure out the authenticity of Xu Que’s words.

Moreover, the purpose of her asking Xu Que to go to the Heaven Secret Pavilion wasn’t only for the Heaven Patching Art. She planned to ask her Master to find out Xu Que’s background and history through divination so that they would know the origin of Xu Que’s magic arts!

“Oh, no, I won’t go!”

However, Xu Que refused Han Ying directly without any hesitation and left immediately!

Are you kidding? Go to the Heaven Secret Pavilion? Why should I obey your orders? The King of Acting Tough must defend his pride!

Moreover, from Han Ying’s words, he knew the Heaven Patching Art would be different from the one the Old Man of Heaven Secret glimpsed!

The Heaven Patching Art he knew could remedy regret, while the art glimpsed by the Old Man of Heaven Secret bestowed him with a mysterious divination art. Therefore, they were totally different.

“Don’t you want to regain your Taoist Connotation?” Han Ying asked in surprise.

She hadn’t expected Xu Que could refuse her directly. Normally, when people knew there was a way to regain their Taoist Connotation, they would search for it at all costs. This guy didn’t follow the common template by refusing her proposal directly.

“Of course I do, but I know your so-called method is absolutely unreliable. In addition, I also don’t want to go to your Heaven Secret Pavilion!” After speaking, Xu Que walked directly to the area below the Ancient Bronze Hall.

Liu Jingning had told him that nobody had regained the Taoist Connotation successfully in this world. Why had Han Ying chose to tell him? Didn’t she worry that the Heaven Secret Pavilion would be endangered by the divulging this news?

Therefore, it was too good to be true!

...

Looking at Xu Que’s back, Han Ying frowned and said nothing, because her so-called method was unreliable, indeed. No one could succeed with it.

“What happened just now? Was there someone bold enough to contact you?” Liu Jingning asked with puzzlement, for she had noticed Xu Que talking to someone else just before when she was beside him.

Xu Que smiled and told Liu Jingning about the conversation between him and Han Ying.

Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned and asked with a strange facial expression, “You were wrong! The Heaven Secret Pavilion really does have a method to regain the Taoist Connotation!”

“What?” Xu Que was dumbfounded immediately.

Could it be that I outsmarted myself?

“This makes no sense! Didn’t you say there was no method for that?” he asked in surprise.

Liu Jingning smiled a bit and said, “Because coincidentally, I also know the Heaven Secret Pavilion’s so-called method. But that method is utterly useless. It’s nothing else but a delusion!”

“Whoo, that’s good news!” Xu Que sighed in relief.

“This is definitely not good news! Why do you feel relieved?” Liu Jingning asked in surprise.

“At least I know I didn’t outsmart myself. Now, please tell me about this method of the Heaven Secret Pavilion!” Xu Que said with interest.

Liu Jingning paused a bit and said while shaking her head, “Actually, this so-called method won’t work at all! In the past, someone used to come to the Heaven Secret Pavilion and ask for a method to regain the Taoist Connotation from the Old Man of Heaven Secret. However, the Heaven Secret Pavilion just shut its door and declined to see visitors, for their method didn’t work at all. That guy knelt outside the Heaven Secret Pavilion for 49 days and resolutely refused to leave. One night, under the influence of alcohol, the Old Man of Heaven Secret revealed that one could never regain the Taoist Connotation unless he could comprehend the Tao by destructing his cultivation himself and becoming an ordinary person again. This is called Destruction before Re-establishment.”

“Self-destruction of cultivation, Destruction before Re-establishment?” Xu Que was surprised. It seemed this method could really work!

It looked like Liu Jingning had noticed the eagerness in Xu Que’s eyes, as she said immediately, “Little brat, don’t be reckless. The only way for self-destruction of cultivation is to ruin the Dantian! The Spiritual Roots will also be ruined along with the Dantian. Then you’ll never be able to start cultivating again in your life! Moreover, don’t forget you’ve become a common enemy in the East Continent. Countless people are targeting you. If you destroy your cultivation, no one can protect you!”

“I know!” Xu Que nodded, but he had been unable to hold himself back deep in his heart.

Could the Self-destruction of Cultivation ruin my Spiritual Roots?

Others needed to worry about this, sure, but not him!

At the very beginning, his entire Spiritual Root had been deprived. The System had repaired his Spiritual Roots completely. Now, he just needed to do it again, which was nothing to fear.

However, one point Liu Jingning had mentioned was correct!

He had really had a hard time in the East Continent. There was no difference between the Self-destruction of Cultivation and suicide. At that time, no matter how many Divine Escape Spells he had, he couldn’t use them freely like he could now.

“Little brat, don’t tell me you’re seriously considering that method!” Liu Jingning frowned and asked, staring at Xu Que.

She didn’t worry about others. but Xu Que was someone who never followed the template. She worried that Xu Que would really try that method.

“No, how could I do such a stupid thing?” Xu Que said embarrassedly.

He would never destruct his cultivation when he couldn’t ensure a safe environment for his re-cultivation!

Liu Jingning gave a hollow smile to express her concern at the thought he might do that.

Xu Que didn’t want to waste his words. He jumped into the sky and tried to enter the ancient hall again.

However, nothing had changed. Although the entrance of the ancient hall had disappeared, Xu Que just passed through the ancient hall and couldn’t feel its existence at all.

“Alas! Little brat, I’m sorry for your loss!” Buttface sighed and patted Xu Que’s back with one of his paws.

Xu Que felt like something was wrong. He turned around and was immediately annoyed!

Buttface wasn’t consoling him. He was wiping the blood off of his paw onto Xu Que’s clothing!

The blood had come from a certain part of Dong Genji’s body!

“Damn! Do you want a good smack?” Xu Que tried to grab Buttface and beat him up.

“F*ck! No good deed goes unpunished! I was consoling you!” Buttface turned around and escaped immediately.

“I don’t need your f*cking consolation!” Xu Que cursed, but he wasn’t in the mood to play with Buttface.

He stopped outside the Ancient Bronze Hall. Looking at the ancient hall, he felt really disappointed!

Jiang Hongyan was in there, so close to him, but it seemed like she was as far away and untouchable as if she was in the most remote corner of the world.

“Could it be that I can save you only when I become a Level 2 Celestial Spell Master?” Xu Que murmured in a low voice.

For years, he had been on the run to revive Xiao Rou by searching for the five Genesis Herbs and had managed to find 3 herbs. However, the other 2 herbs had been taken by Duan Jiude.

Therefore, he came to the East Continent.

Now, he still hadn’t found Duan Jiude and revived Xiao Rou. Jiang Hongyan was about to leave her.

This frustrated Xu Que a lot. To be a Celestial Spell Master might be more difficult than reviving Xiao Rou!

“Alas!” he sighed, about to leave.

However, when he saw powerhouses at the Void Training Stage in the area, something came into his mind suddenly.

“Well, I still have a Big Mystery Gift Bag!” Xu Que’s eyes lit up.

When he had killed the first powerhouse in the Void Training Stage, he had received a Big Mystery Gift Bag and hadn’t had time to open it yet.

He was at the end of his rope over this issue, so he saw this gift bag as a possible solution, because it could bring him something he needed!

But it required luck, and the last thing he had was luck!
