Chapter 3383 Innate Qi Technique
Daojun's first flying knife technique is from the past; it represents Daojun's glorious past.

Daojun's second flying knife technique is currently in use, and it is an important part of Daojun's current strength.

Daojun's third flying knife technique is the future. This is Daojun's ideal flying knife technique, and it is also the flying knife technique that he has repeatedly tried to cultivate but has never succeeded in.

"Primordial Qi Technique?"

From nurturing flying knives in the immortal gourd to refining them through physical refinement, the Daoist Lord's third flying knife technique began to seek to abandon the flying knife as its medium.

This is also why Daojun's third flying knife technique was not named "Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique".

Zhang Xuezhou took the brunt of Daojun's flying knife at the bottom of the cliff. It did not come from the fragments of the flying knife on the stone table, but from a breath that Daojun had condensed. This was the only method that Daojun could react and release quickly at that time.

Although Daojun spat out a mouthful of blood when he used this technique, causing the flying attack to appear red, the normal innate Qi technique is colorless and formless.

"This is my ideal flying dagger for slaying immortals. Its colorless and formless strikes are hard for opponents to defend against, and once an opponent is hit, it can trigger the activation of a spell." Daojun said regretfully, "Unfortunately, my own abilities are insufficient, and I have failed miserably in both cultivation and creation!"

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique is very powerful, but Daojun's opponents are not fools. The flying knife technique can be used for offense, but opponents can also defend against it.

Compared to the clash between spear and shield reaching its limits, Daojun's throwing knife technique began to seek to be undefendable.

This requires his techniques to be both secretive and powerful, even leaving his opponent's protective treasures no time to react.

This requires eliminating items containing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth). Eliminating these elements will prevent the items from being targeted by the five-element magic weapons.

After repeated attempts, the Daoist Master finally refined a single breath of internal energy.

His circulating aura combined the various advantages of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife Technique. The Daoist Lord continuously cultivated and sought to refine it, so that this Daoist technique could perfectly replace the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife Technique.

To this day, Daojun is still seeking the future of the third flying knife technique.

This was supposed to be the hope he gave to the successors to seek a future, but it was squeezed out by Zhang Xuezhou.

After saying so much, Daojun couldn't help but sigh, feeling that many things in the world were difficult to do as one wished.

He can't see any future right now, but he needs to give himself something to look forward to.

"I've said everything I needed to say. Is there anything else you'd like to ask or anything I'd like me to repeat?"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou mutter a low murmur and then fall silent, Daojun waited a moment before he had to speak up to remind him.

“The third throwing knife technique has a major flaw,” Zhang Xuezhou muttered. “I’m now absolutely certain you’re no longer a threat!”

"Ok?"

Daojun frowned.

He met the conditions that reassured Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou's honest words made him very uncomfortable. This meant that Zhang Xuezhou was not optimistic about his present and future, even if he were to carry on the legacy.

Daojun never cared about Zhang Xuezhou's evaluation. There were many people talking about him behind his back, and he didn't need to pay attention to the malicious words and deeds of irrelevant people.

But Zhang Xuezhou not only defeated his opponent, but also learned about his three flying knife techniques before making his judgment.

Once you know the whole story, Zhang Xuezhou's judgment accuracy will be extremely high.

The person who knows you best is yourself, but the person who knows you least is also yourself.

No one understands his own abilities better than Daojun, yet Daojun also has blind spots that he himself is unaware of.

Zhang Xuezhou clearly noticed his blind spot, which is why he made this judgment.

"What are the flaws in the third flying knife technique?" Daojun asked, frowning.

"The content you've used for fusion is limited, and it's unlikely to achieve the desired results!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Daojun, and his comment made Daojun's heart skip a beat, but Daojun couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of disbelief.

“I am unfamiliar with the throwing knife technique, but I have some experience with the laws of fusion. I am quite certain that your combined cultivation method has no future!” Zhang Xuezhou has been cultivating for many years, always on the path of correcting techniques, and has now embarked on the path of fusion cultivation.

While his insights on top-tier techniques were somewhat lacking, Zhang Xuezhou did possess considerable experience in fusion techniques. He had even achieved physical sanctification more than ten days prior, demonstrating his expertise in fusion techniques.

With repeated integrations, Zhang Xuezhou developed his own understanding of the innovation of technique fusion.

Daojun's Innate Qi Technique is very strong. The opponent has been constantly adjusting the medium for casting the technique while maintaining the power of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife Technique. He has gone from the first step to the second step, and then sought the third step. He has even developed the prototype of the Innate Qi Technique.

At first glance, Daojun appeared to be on the road to success.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been practicing the third flying knife technique for at least ten years, or even longer,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

“One hundred and thirty-two years,” Daojun said, pursing his lips.

“If you haven’t achieved anything after ten years of cultivation, you’ve already gone astray. If you haven’t achieved anything after one hundred and thirty-two years, you should think about how many people are capable of cultivating in an era without the art of destiny,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Creation and spiritual practice are different!"

"The creator's cultivation should be faster!"

Daojun believed that creation was difficult, while imitation and cultivation were easy, while Zhang Xuezhou held the opposite opinion.

If a Daoist master still finds cultivation difficult even with a foundation in throwing knife techniques spanning thousands of years, then this innovative approach to cultivation must be flawed. No one else could inherit and surpass this master's skills.

Zhang Xuezhou's words shook Daojun's mind for a moment, almost making him doubt the meaning of his search for a successor.

"Not to mention the third technique, even those who have mastered the second technique will be few and far between!"

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and took the nuts that the Holy Mother of Wudang had used to entertain guests. The nuts slowly wriggled in his mouth, then he swallowed them as if he were swallowing them, and then spat them back into his mouth.

As Daojun's eyelids twitched, he saw Zhang Xuezhou open his mouth and spit downwards.

A brown nut shot out, striking the floor of the underground palace like an arrow, causing the blue bricks paving the ground to crack with a crisp sound before breaking in two.

Zhang Xuezhou's performance was undoubtedly like wielding a big sword in front of Guan Yu in Daojun's eyes, but Zhang Xuezhou's rapid mastery of the throwing knife technique meant that it was not just talk, but that there was some basis for his narration, and that it was not just made up.

“I have cultivated for more than ten years to reach my current level, so my aptitude for cultivation should not be bad,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “Someone like me would need at least fifty years to master the second flying knife technique!”

"Ok!"

"If one wants to perfect and advance the third Innate Qi Technique based on the second Flying Knife Technique, it is impossible for anyone to succeed in cultivation if they go in the wrong direction!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up and gestured to Daojun.

"you can go now!"

With less than seven days remaining, the new emperor's breakthrough to the True Self Realm was still pending, and the date for the first contract had not yet arrived, yet Zhang Xuezhou had already made the decision to settle old scores.

Daojun looked in the direction Zhang Xuezhou pointed, took two steps, and felt a sharp pain in his heart, his mind filled with despair.

He wouldn't be hunted down by Zhang Xuezhou, but his chances of survival were extremely slim, and his lineage was even worse, with almost no cultivator meeting the requirements of a Dao Lord.

When the pursuit in your heart loses hope, all that remains is despair.

After taking a few steps, Daojun felt a mouthful of blood well up in his heart.

He covered his mouth with his sleeve, and when he opened the sleeve, he saw a piece of flesh mixed in with the blood. He knew that his dark emotions had aggravated his internal injuries and caused him to vomit blood.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't kill him, giving him hope for what lay ahead, but then Zhang Xuezhou compared his own cultivation to the situation, effectively crushing his hope for the future.

Most importantly, through comparison and judgment, Daojun knew that what Zhang Xuezhou said was true.

As he staggered toward the gate of the underground palace, Daojun felt in a daze that he was still alive, but in reality he was already dead.
