Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 518 Teaching Kung Fu
Half an hour later, Zhao Shuang encountered the giant python that Gu Songzi had kept captive. It was thanks to this python that Gu Songzi had been able to survive in this mountain range for so long and possess sufficient self-protection. This python's strength was comparable to that of a Sage at the Transcendental Realm, and its potent venom was enough to threaten even a True Sage or even a Supreme Sage.

Gu Songzi was a Saint King-level spiritual master, but his true combat power was inferior to that of ordinary saints. Even a young girl like Canglan Martial Saint couldn't defeat him, simply because he specialized in alchemy. His true combat power was actually very weak, so he could only rely on other means to enhance his strength and avenge his family. However, given his situation, seeking revenge on the leader of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult was purely suicidal, and Zhao Shuang didn't believe he had the ability to do so.

"Gu Songzi, if you don't come out now, I'll roast and eat your snake. Without it, I don't think you'll be able to survive in this mountain. Judging from your current strength, although you've reached the level of a Spiritual Power Saint King, your strength is far from perfect. So you'd better come out now, or I'll roast this snake." Zhao Shuang said, smiling at the empty space before him, astride the head of Gu Songzi's captive golden python. Several girls and Canglan Martial Saint stood beside him, watching Zhao Shuang. They hadn't expected Zhao Shuang to find Gu Songzi so quickly and subdue the captive golden python.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, wait a moment, Lord Heavenly King, please wait a moment." Zhao Shuang's threat forced Gu Songzi to come out, even though he was a Spiritual Power Saint King, because he knew Zhao Shuang was not joking. If he didn't come out, the golden python he had worked so hard to keep in captivity would really become a barbecue.

When Gu Songzi appeared, Canglan Wusheng and several other girls were very surprised because he looked so slovenly. Not only was he hunched over, but he was also an old man with thinning hair, and he didn't look at all like a dashing man.

"Gu Songzi, do you want revenge, revenge for your dead family members, relatives and friends?" When Zhao Shuang saw Gu Songzi appear, he didn't waste any words and directly stated the conditions that Gu Songzi could not refuse.

As expected, upon hearing Zhao Shuang's words, Gu Songzi instantly became incredibly excited. It could be said that these were the happiest words he had heard in years, perhaps even centuries. "I do. Of course I do. I dream about it. Do you have a solution?" If Gu Songzi hadn't been concerned about his status as a Spiritual Power Saint King, he would have already knelt and begged Zhao Shuang for revenge. If anyone else had said this, he wouldn't have believed it. But if it came from the person before him, he truly believed it. Besides the Empress, this person was the most likely person to help him with revenge. The main reason was that Zhao Shuang's secret was so huge that the entire Kunlun Realm knew about it. Yet, almost everyone in the Kunlun Realm who dared to attack Zhao Shuang was dead.

"This is a scroll of spiritual cultivation techniques. If you successfully cultivate it, I guarantee you'll become a spiritual sage, a pinnacle among them. At that point, revenge will be easy for you. But you should know my conditions. First, serve me; second, lead me to that sacred herb. Once you find it, this technique will be yours. Once you successfully cultivate it, revenge will be a breeze. Even if you aspire to become a spiritual deity, it's only a matter of time." Zhao Shuang directly produced a scroll and waved it before Gu Songzi's eyes. Zhao Shuang's words shocked not only Gu Songzi, but also Canglan Martial Saint and several other women. They were reluctant to believe Zhao Shuang's words, yet they internally chose to believe them. They knew Zhao Shuang well enough to know he wouldn't joke about such a matter. Canglan Martial Saint, on the other hand, regretted it deeply. Had he known Zhao Shuang possessed such a technique, he would have asked for it long ago. It wasn't for his own sake, but because he wanted to cultivate a spiritual sage, or even several, for the entire imperial court. There are not a few spiritual saint kings in the court who can surpass Gu Songzi. If he can obtain the skills in Zhao Shuang's hands, he will definitely become a spiritual saint in the future.

"Okay, if you can give me this technique, I'm sure it can help me become a spiritual master. I promise to give you the sacred herb and the recipe, and I'll serve you for life. I won't betray you." Gu Songzi agreed without hesitation. However, he needed to confirm whether the technique was genuine. If it was fake, he would lose everything.

"Take a look, take a look. This technique will absolutely be flawless. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me." Zhao Shuang agreed to Gu Songzi's offer without hesitation, tossing the scroll to him. He believed his discerning eye could discern the true power of the technique he was teaching. The technique he was teaching was the Panwu Great Divine Art. Of course, it wasn't the complete technique, only a portion, which would allow Gu Songzi to be controlled by him. If Gu Songzi performed well, he would later grant him the Great Soul Technique, the ultimate technique for cultivating spiritual power. Successful cultivation would only entail attaining spiritual power, and Zhao Shuang wasn't exaggerating. Of course, this presupposed sufficient aptitude. Without it, practicing a technique of this caliber was sheer suicidal intent. Not everyone could successfully cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos. At least, Zhao Shuang had seen only a handful of people successfully cultivate them over the years, and Gu Songzi was one of the few who had. The main reason was that Gu Songzi's cultivation talent was among the best in the entire Kunlun Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach the Spiritual Power Saint King level. If Zhao Shuang hadn't been impressed by Gu Songzi's cultivation talent, he wouldn't have taught him this level of cultivation. At most, he would have helped him seek revenge by personally destroying Shi Qianjue's Moon Worshiping Demon Cult. The Moon Worshiping Demon Cult was now divided into two: Ling Xiu's and Shi Qianjue's.

Seeing Zhao Shuang so readily give the scroll to Gu Songzi, Canglan Wusheng was startled and wanted to argue, but he held back. He knew that if he argued, Zhao Shuang would probably be very angry, and he would inevitably be beaten up. He didn't want to be beaten up by Zhao Shuang in front of his subordinates.

"Indeed, this technique is truly the most advanced spiritual cultivation method I've ever encountered. Given enough time, I guarantee I can cultivate to the level of a Spiritual Great Sage, and then I'll be able to avenge my grievances. However, it appears incomplete. If it's incomplete, I'm afraid my cultivation will be controlled by you. But I don't mind. As long as revenge is achieved, I'll willingly die." Gu Songzi uttered these words after reading the scroll, leaving Canglan Martial Saint trembling with fear, yet filled with anticipation. He longed to obtain the scroll from Gu Songzi and the spiritual cultivation method within. His spiritual talent wasn't exceptional, but it was top-tier. If he could obtain it, perhaps he could even reach the level of a Spiritual Saint King, or even a Spiritual Great Sage. He also didn't care about the potential consequences Gu Songzi mentioned, believing there would be a solution later.

"Little girl, do you also want this cultivation method? If you want it, just ask Lord Tianwang. If he gives it to you, I don't mind giving it to you." Feeling the eager gaze of Canglan Martial Saint, Gu Songzi naturally noticed it, and then showed a half-smile.

"Give it to him. After he's read it, he'll understand the significance of this technique. However, I don't mind this little girl practicing it, as it might hinder her own cultivation of the Holy Path." Zhao Shuang's words put Gu Songzi's heart at ease, and she immediately tossed the scroll to Canglan Martial Saint. The other girls looked at Canglan Martial Saint with envy. Upon receiving the scroll, Canglan Martial Saint immediately expressed his sincere gratitude to Zhao Shuang. "Thank you, Lord Heavenly King," he said, opening the scroll and beginning to peruse it. This took him a full half-day. After all, Canglan Martial Saint wasn't a Spiritual Power Saint King like Gu Songzi, but an ordinary Saint, whose spiritual power barely reached the level of a Saint. The gap between them was enormous.

After reading it, the shock on his face was lingering, and at the same time, he was filled with immense excitement. He was certain that as long as he could successfully cultivate, he would definitely become a spiritual sage in the future, and even have the hope of becoming a spiritual god. However, the prerequisite was that Zhao Shuang also passed on the subsequent exercises to him.

"How is it? What do you think? Do you want to practice? If you do, I will naturally give you the subsequent techniques when you break through to the spiritual power great saint. If you can't even break through this, then there is no need to continue practicing the subsequent techniques, because once this technique is obtained by others, it will not be a good thing for the entire Kunlun world, so the subsequent techniques will have to wait until you break through to the spiritual power great saint." Zhao Shuang glanced at Canglan Martial Saint and said with a smile.

"No problem. When I break through to the level of spiritual power saint, I will naturally ask you for this cultivation method. But what is your intention in giving me this cultivation method? Or do you want me to do something for you?" Canglan Martial Saint also woke up at this time, and asked immediately, feeling uneasy at the same time.

"Your aptitude for cultivation is quite good, so it's not a mistake to pass this technique on to you. However, I hope you won't be so foolish in the future. As your spiritual power improves, your IQ will also increase significantly, so I simply hope you won't be so foolish in the future." Zhao Shuang's words immediately infuriated Canglan Martial Saint, but despite his anger, he could only suppress it. He had already received sufficient benefits from Zhao Shuang, especially this technique, which had given him the hope of becoming a spiritual power saint. Before, he had absolutely no chance of becoming a spiritual power saint; at best, he would have been an ordinary saint, far from the realm of spiritual power sainthood. But now that he had the opportunity, he felt a mixture of love and hate for Zhao Shuang, yet also overflowing with gratitude. Now he finally understood why his good sister, Nalan Danqing, admired Zhao Shuang so much, and why Nalan Danqing was so devoted to him.

"Alright, just focus on your cultivation now, and don't worry about anything else. As for the holy medicine and the elixir formula, you don't need to worry about anything. I will naturally hand them over to the Queen after she becomes a god. These two items are of great significance to the entire Kunlun Realm. As I said, the Kunlun Realm will face a catastrophe in the future, and this catastrophe requires the joint efforts of all of us, especially you. Your identity is extraordinary, so I don't want you to encounter any danger. Because if you encounter any danger, the Kunlun Realm will probably not have a good end, and the little girl will not have a good end either. Therefore, I must ensure the safety of fools like you. This is really troublesome, but it is also something that cannot be helped."

Canglan Martial Saint had grown accustomed to Zhao Shuang's venomous tongue, so he wasn't particularly angry anymore. Instead, he continued studying his spiritual cultivation technique. He knew he had a long road ahead of him, and as Zhao Shuang had said, the Kunlun Realm would face a catastrophe. He would need to at least reach the Saint King level to have sufficient self-protection, or even the Great Sage realm.

"Don't think that becoming a Great Sage will give you enough power to protect yourself. Even if you become a Great Sage, if the secrets in you are leaked, your life may still be in danger. Therefore, you must at least become a god. Only true gods can have enough power to protect themselves. If you can't even reach the level of a god, then you are too unworthy of your status. You should know what I mean by your status, so work hard. Don't let the Queen down, and don't drag Danqing down, because she has been dragged down badly by you. If it weren't for you, Danqing's achievements today would be unimaginable."

Zhao Shuang sighed, and what he said once again made Canglan Martial Saint grit his teeth, but he had to admit that what Zhao Shuang said was true.

Because she was very clear about her identity. If she became a burden to Nalan Danqing, it would not be a good thing for the entire Kunlun world.

So no matter how much you grit your teeth, there is nothing you can do.
