Chapter 608: Rapid Progress!
"Senior, rest assured, even without your request, I would certainly flatten the Sha Family!"
Xiao Yi said with icy eyes.
His feud with the Sha Family was an irreconcilable one of life and death, especially with the deaths of people like Sha Yun and Sha Bao, and the fall of hundreds of thousands of powerful warriors, which had dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Sha Family.
The Sha Family would certainly not let Xiao Yi go easily.
Su Wuxie smiled in relief but then began to cough violently, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His breath became instantly weak and listless.
For a long time, the Sha Family had been his obsession, but now, with Xiao Yi's arrival, he had someone to entrust his obsession to; the nerves that had been tense now relaxed.
Already at the end of his strength, his body could barely hold up at this moment.
"Senior..."
Xiao Yi's face changed, and he stepped forward to support Su Wuxie.
Su Wuxie gently waved his hand, squeezing out an ugly smile, "Don't worry, my body has already reached its limit. Over these years, guarding her and her people, I've grown tired. Xiao Yi, meeting you before I die is already a favor from heaven!"
Years ago, with his strength alone, he had almost obliterated several dominators in the tumultuous seas.
But in the end, it was because the Sha Family had called upon the Longevity Secret Realm experts from the Nantian Dynasty that he was gravely injured and forced to retreat into seclusion until now.
He thought he would never be able to take his revenge in this lifetime!
Now that he had met Xiao Yi, he finally saw a glimmer of hope, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and Su Wuxie spoke in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, I must continue to guard her and her people with this broken body of mine and cannot pass on my cultivation to you. However, over the years, I've gained some insights into the 'Tongtian Shenlu,' especially in the use of spiritual power, which are unique to me. I'll pass them all on to you!"
"This..."
Xiao Yi's face changed.
This was the Evil God Su Wuxie's trump card, the very techniques that allowed Su Wuxie to nearly destroy the tumultuous seas.
Su Wuxie smiled, pointing a finger at Xiao Yi's brow.
A divine thought entered his soul.
The voice of Su Wuxie echoed in his ears, "My mental attack technique is called 'Evil God Transformation.' I've only created six styles, each corresponding to the first six pictures of the 'Tongtian Shenlu.' This is my understanding of the 'Tongtian Shenlu' and 'Evil God Transformation' over the years..."
Su Wuxie held back nothing in his legacy.
It was not just the cultivation techniques, but also all the problems he had encountered during his cultivation, along with their solutions, were included.
The vast amount of information nearly burst Xiao Yi's head.
Thankfully, his spiritual power was strong.
He quickly sorted through the information, showing a grave expression. He took two steps back and deeply bowed to Su Wuxie, "Xiao Yi thanks Senior for passing on the knowledge. Please rest assured, Senior, Xiao Yi will personally annihilate the Sha Family!"
"Go! When you get outside, Along will give you Bo Ci's monster core, which I believe will aid you in your cultivation of the 'Tongtian Shenlu'!"
Su Wuxie waved his hand, his tired expression mixing with a slight smile, gently leaning against the crystal coffin, looking at the charming person inside, "My lady, I, we finally have hope for our vengeance..."
Watching Su Wuxie falling into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and quietly left.
Outside, Along was waiting. Seeing Xiao Yi come out, he stepped forward with a box in hand, "This is what the Evil God asked me to give you! Inside is Bo Ci's monster core; although it was mostly damaged in the self-destruction, the energy contained within it is still immense!"
"Thank you!"
Xiao Yi nodded, taking Bo Ci's monster core.
This was a monster core from a peak-level seventh-stage ancient giant beast, the energy within it was vast.
Along shook his head, laughing, "You are a guest of the Evil God, and thus a distinguished guest of our Mermaid Clan. You can choose any place within our clan to meditate and cultivate in seclusion; when you wish to leave, I will take you!"
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Xiao Yi nodded his head, then chose a secluded spot.
"'Tongtian Shenlu,' 'Tongtian Tiroku,' 'Evil God Transformation,' and the ancient giant beast's monster core, I never expected such fortune from catastrophe..." Xiao Yi looked at the three scrolls in front of him, as well as Bo Ci's monster core, revealing a strange expression.
When Bo Ci self-destructed, he thought he was surely going to die.
Unexpectedly, there was such a gain.
"Let's start with 'Tongtian Tiroku'!" Xiao Yi observed the metallic slate.
Recorded on it were strange body postures and the trajectories of vital energy movement; Xiao Yi tried the first one.
Hiss!
He felt as if an electric current had passed through his body.
A sense of numbness spread throughout his body.
Immediately after...
After that tingling sensation, there was an extremely refreshing feeling, as if every muscle in the body had been pushed to its limits.
Under the influence of his Wind Thunder Holy Body, Xiao Yi made rapid progress in his practice of the "Tongtian Tiroku", advancing at a breakneck pace—it was truly a case of twice the result with half the effort.
It was akin to smelting fine iron: one takes either a raw iron ore as the starting material or a bar of pure iron.
The efficiency and quality of the end products would naturally be worlds apart.
Having reached the Sixth Transformation of the Wind and Thunder Holy Body, Xiao Yi's cultivation of the "Tongtian Tiroku" was as if he were a piece of refined steel, exceptionally pure and only growing purer and stronger.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
On the fourth day, Xiao Yi had cultivated the "Tongtian Tiroku" to the sixth image, increasing the strength of his body sixfold, and his physical power had also increased by a factor of six. With his current bodily strength, if he were to dash forward with the wings of Wind Thunder, he could likely smash an ordinary practitioner at the Nirvana Realm to pieces.
His body was comparable to a seventh-grade high-level elemental weapon!
Even letting someone attack him with the "Crescent Moon Slash", they might not be able to penetrate his defenses.
"This feeling..."
Xiao Yi's eyes shone brightly; although his cultivation realm had not increased significantly, the "Tongtian Tiroku" had multiplied his combat prowess many times over.
"This is just the 'Tongtian Tiroku'... If I can gather all the jade boxes and practice the cultivation techniques inside, I wonder how strong I will become... And that fourth jade box, what exactly is hidden inside?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
His gaze shifted to the metal slices of the "Tongtian Shenlu" and the "Evil God Transformation".
The "Tongtian Shenlu" is for refining spiritual power, while the "Evil God Transformation" is a secret technique for transforming mental force into attack—a form of mental assault.
Generally speaking.
Even those who achieved Spiritual Nirvana were incapable of refining their spiritual power actively; they had to rely on the accumulation of years or go through various trials in life. This is why Spiritual Nirvana is the most time-consuming.
To Xiao Yi's knowledge, the "Tongtian Shenlu" was the only secret technique that allowed one to actively refine spiritual power.
There were many other secret techniques for mental attacks similar to the "Evil God Transformation", but none were as domineering and powerful.
Based on Xiao Yi's estimation...
Once he could cultivate the "Tongtian Shenlu" to the sixth image and combine it with the "Evil God Transformation", if he ever encountered individuals like Ye Beixuan or Xu Changsheng, who walked the path of Physical or Law Manifestation Nirvana, he would be able to annihilate them with just a thought!
Following that, Xiao Yi began to cultivate both the "Tongtian Shenlu" and the "Evil God Transformation".
Time flew by.
Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Bo Ci self-destructed, half a month had gone by.
On this day.
The entire trench trembled violently, and an unparalleled pressure swept through, causing all members of the Mermaid Clan to leave their homes in horror, staring towards the direction of Xiao Yi's seclusion with shocked expressions.
Inside the Evil God Temple.
Su Wuxie opened his eyes, staring in Xiao Yi's direction, and revealed a bitter smile, "Indeed a chosen one! He has already mastered the sixth style of the 'Evil God Transformation' so quickly. With the intensity of his spiritual power now, he should be at the fifth image of the 'Tongtian Shenlu', right? Terrifying, truly terrifying..."
To think that it had taken him ten years to cultivate to the fifth image back in his day!
And Xiao Yi had only used ten days.
Truly, comparisons between people can be utterly disheartening!
If Xiao Yi were to hear Su Wuxie's words at that moment, he would surely respond with a slightly embarrassed, "Senior, I have actually mastered the sixth image already!"
Of course...
Su Wuxie did not know this.
Xiao Yi reined in his terrifying aura, his lips curved into a slight smile as he rose and departed from his place of secluded cultivation. On his way to the Evil God Temple, he was stopped by Along, who said, "The Evil God has ordered that you need not bid him farewell. As long as you do not forget the vow made between you, that's sufficient!"
Whew!
Xiao Yi let out a long breath, looking towards the Evil God Temple and bowing deeply, "Senior, rest assured, Xiao Yi will not disappoint you!" He turned to Along, "Please see me off."
"Okay!"
Along nodded and blew a whistle.
In the boundless ocean waters outside, a blue whale a hundred zhang long slowly emerged. Along took Xiao Yi into the whale's mouth, and together they broke through the waves, heading towards the surface. Moments later, they surfaced.
Along spoke gravely, "I can only take you this far. If you travel west from here for about three thousand miles, you'll reach Huanglong Island..."
"Thank you!"
Xiao Yi bowed his hands in gratitude towards Along, then watched as the whale turned over and dived back into the sea. Narrowing his eyes towards the direction of Huanglong Island, Xiao Yi declared, "Little Lin, Brother Yue, and the Sha Family... Xiao Yi is back!"
