Chapter 3382 Three Flying Knife Technique

Each school of thought has its own distinct sectarianism, and the methods of practice differ from school to school.

The realm technique of the Yexi River Holy Land is the "Heart Mantra," while Zhang Xuezhou's is the realm technique of the Yin-Yang School.

He had little hope for Daojun's flying knife technique; perhaps he couldn't cultivate it, or perhaps his skill level would be unsatisfactory even if he did.

"My Taoist magic..."

Daojun frowned.

He was the sole possessor of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique while he was alive, and it was impossible for him to pass it on to others and create a fatal risk for himself.

Only when a Daoist believes he is nearing death, or that the future is bleak and hopeless, can he pass on this killing technique, thus entrusting his descendants with a faint hope of surpassing him.

The rules governing magic are strict, and the Daoist Master's selection of successors is equally rigorous.

He never intended to pass on this technique to Zhang Xuezhou, especially since the latter was a major factor that led to his death.

But if he doesn't give an explanation today, Zhang Xuezhou will give him an explanation in seven days.

Zhang Xuezhou's flying speed is already approaching its limit, as he can use his flying technique to track his soul back to his body. Very few beings in the Three Realms can escape Zhang Xuezhou's pursuit. When Daojun's body was intact, he could still put up a fight, but right now, he has absolutely no chance of escaping.

After pondering for a moment, and repeatedly swearing oaths and even seeking the guarantee of the Holy Mother of Wudang, Daojun finally began to speak.

No one can easily learn his skills, and Zhang Xuezhou is no exception.

Daojun wasn't afraid that Zhang Xuezhou would learn the throwing knife technique; he was a little afraid that Zhang Xuezhou's talkativeness would spread the technique far and wide, eventually turning his skill into something commonplace.

There are too many people in the world who cannot master the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique, but there are always some geniuses who can learn it. He had to add conditions until Zhang Xuezhou agreed.

Daojun spoke expressionlessly about the various aspects of cultivating the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique, while the Holy Mother of Wudang felt extremely uneasy. She wanted to avoid suspicion, but she feared that if she left, Zhang Xuezhou might suddenly kill Daojun. If she did not avoid suspicion, knowing Daojun's secret technique would be another disaster. If Daojun's successor achieved success in cultivation, the successor might consider silencing him to prevent the technique from being leaked.

As the strongest spell recognized by many cultivators in the Three Realms, no one can take this spell lightly, and everyone fears being overthrown by a master of the spell. The Holy Mother of Wudang felt very comforted by the whole situation.

"This gourd-raising technique is interesting, but it's not the same throwing knife technique you used to kill us, and it's impossible for you to pass it on to others!"

After half an hour of lecturing, Daojun stopped his teachings and looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who then spoke in a calm voice.

"Since you're not satisfied with my initial version, I'll teach you another Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique!"

Daojun lowered his gaze slightly.

If he hadn't attacked Zhang Xuezhou, there would have been no problem with his explanation of the technique; it was indeed his method for condensing the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Cultivators need to find Kunlun Cold Iron, but even more so, they need to find a gourd that innately nurtures a flying knife, just like the nurturing of aged wine. The longer the flying knife is refined, the stronger its power will be when it leaves the gourd, and it can even complete challenges beyond one's realm, causing even top-level cultivators to perish.

This method of cultivation involves extremely powerful flying knife techniques, and the conditions for cultivation are very demanding. It is almost impossible for anyone to replicate it, so it is indeed impossible for the Dao Lord to pass it on to a successor.

"Listen to this throwing knife technique again..."

Daojun spoke eloquently, beginning to mention his second flying knife technique.

The quality of the Seven Arrows Nailhead Book would decline, and the immortal gourd he had been refining for many years could not withstand the increasingly sharp edge of the flying knives, and after a long time, it turned into fragments.

He searched the world for containers that could hold things but found none, which forced Daojun to revise his flying knife technique.

"The Kunlun Cold Iron Flying Knife broke into fragments, using the body as a vessel for refinement, its sharpness to pierce the body's defenses, and its incantation to damage the soul. This is indeed the flying knife technique you once used on us!"

Without the Immortal Gourd, Daojun's flying knife technique evolved into a more refined form, utilizing his body for refinement, much like the poison needle technique used by Luo Tianming, Luo Hui, and others. His method of modifying flying knife techniques filled the void left by the Immortal Gourd.

“I met with the Flying Feather Demon King. I told him that your flying knives leave no survivors, and he said that you spared our lives because you did so,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “So, who is right in our story?” “Of course, you are right,” Daojun said, frowning.

“Since you are ruthless and capable of defeating those of lower status, why didn’t you kill us, who were weaker in cultivation, back then? Even though a cultivator of Tian Fen’s level is still alive today, this shouldn’t be the level of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique you mentioned,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “I want to hear about your third flying knife technique!”

"You sent me a message several years ago, mentioning the Emperor," Daojun said.

"and then?"

"Then I went to Kunlun and found that things were indeed as you said. I also stabbed him while hiding in the shadows!"

"He's not dead!"

"Yes, he's not dead. I can't kill anyone now. The effectiveness of my throwing knife technique is getting worse with each use, otherwise I wouldn't be carrying the Seven Arrows of Nailhead!"

Daojun seemed somewhat bewildered.

The long-forged flying knife shot towards the cultivator who possessed the Emperor's body. This was a strike that had condensed his essence, energy, and spirit, and it was also the one that Daojun had planned to challenge the three Heavenly Venerables and the Jade Emperor when his lifespan was about to end.

But the result of his strike was not ideal.

Overthrowing one's superior is ultimately a sign of inferiority; the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique failed to kill the Emperor.

The opponent used the Kunlun Formation to leave, and Daojun, having lost his strongest attack, did not linger in Kunlun. It wasn't until Mayi was killed by the new emperor that he could no longer suppress the burning anger in his heart and used the flying knife technique for the second time.

The second flying knife technique was even less effective. Daojun failed to kill the new emperor or Zhang Xuezhou, which led to the subsequent events.

This is the flaw in Daojun's second Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique. The first strike, refined over many years, is the most effective, but the power of subsequent flying knife techniques will be greatly reduced.

"I see," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement, "but I still want to hear about your third throwing knife technique!"

"Since you know this is the throwing knife technique I'm currently using, why do you want to hear my third throwing knife technique?" Daojun asked.

"Because you shot me with the third throwing knife technique!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the throwing knife placed on the stone table.

The throwing knife was missing two pieces; one fragment was in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, and the other fragment was inside Tian Fen's head.

Zhang Xuezhou also suffered a flying knife attack from Daojun at the bottom of the cliff at Lishan.

Daojun's flying knife technique was less effective, and he easily dodged it. However, this was not a problem with the flying knife technique, but rather a result of Daojun's physical condition.

Zhang Xuezhou clearly needs to understand the situation thoroughly to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Since that's the case, then listen to my third throwing knife technique. This technique uses qi as a guide..."

This is why Daojun felt uneasy about Zhang Xuezhou.

The Dao Lord, with his superior insight, can clearly perceive the changes in the thoughts of weaker cultivators and know whether the other party is lying or deceiving under the guise of righteousness.

This requires a cultivator's perception ability, and also requires a cultivation level that is superior to the opponent's.

If the object of perception is at the same cultivation level, it is difficult for the Dao Lord to discern the other party's thoughts.

Zhang Xuezhou also possesses similar abilities, but his insightful abilities do not involve cultivation. Instead, they are derived from his own observation and reasoning, making him capable of discerning even those at the True Self Realm.

It's difficult to keep anything from Zhang Xuezhou; he'll strip you bare of everything.

Daojun's third flying knife technique could not be hidden, and he had to reveal it even though he had not yet mastered it.
