Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 264 Five Yin Tiger Demonic Art

In an instant, a giant hand tore through the clouds, as large as a field, and reached out to grab the two people and the bird.

The world became dark.

"What method is this?"

Liu Sheng gasped, feeling enveloped from all sides, with a suction force disrupting his internal energy.

Before he could react, he and the bird were grabbed by a large hand.

In a dizzying spin, they landed on a mountaintop, several miles away.

On the edge of the cliff, Wu Song changed into a clean monk's robe, stood with his sword, his long hair flowing, revealing a profile that looked as if it had been carved with a knife and axe, with a hard and distinct outline.

no……

Just a moment ago they were dressed in rags, how come they're dressed in new clothes in the blink of an eye?

That's some serious speed at which she changed clothes!

Tsk tsk, starting to pay attention to their image now.

Liu Sheng thought to himself, but his face remained respectful as he stepped forward and called out, "Master."

"I owe you so much this time..."

Wu Song turned around and looked at Liu Sheng, a complicated expression on his face.

Who could have imagined that his initial act of kindness, born out of a momentary sentiment, would bear fruit months later, helping him overcome a life-or-death ordeal, undergo a complete transformation, and be reborn?

If they had acted strictly according to the law, exposed the boy, and captured him, they might have died a violent death long ago.

So today, in these ruins, I have absolutely no chance with this willow branch dew.

The Buddha said that every drink and every bite is preordained; every cause and effect has its origin.

Is that so?

“Master, I am your disciple. We share the same fate, and I share the same fate. It is only right that I offer you the sweet dew of the willow branch as a sign of respect. There is no need for thanks.”

Liu Sheng lowered his head and spoke only the good things, then whispered at the end:
"If I cause trouble in the future, please don't blame me, Master."

"Hahaha……"

Wu Song laughed three times, his eyes flashing with a sharp light that seemed to shoot straight at the stars, brimming with confidence:
"Go ahead and provoke them, as long as you don't bully the good, your master will protect you."

real or fake?

However, Master has always disdained lying, so wouldn't that mean...?

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked:
"Master, are you invincible?"

"The world is like a tide, and people are like water. The great river's waves push the previous waves forward. Who dares to say that they are invincible?"

Wu Song shook his head, turned to gaze at the Heavenly Palace, and then changed the subject, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit:

"However, what I like to fight the most is to be invincible under heaven!"

It seems like something was said, but it also seems like nothing was said at all...

Liu Sheng licked his lips, deciding to stop with the veiled questions and be direct:

"...Master should have reached the Yellow Court Realm by now, right? That Dugu Ba and the mysterious swordsman beside Xie Bao are very strong and not easy to provoke."

"Don't worry, Dugu Ba is known as the best in Jinzhou, but if he were to encounter me again, he wouldn't last three punches. As for the mysterious swordsman you mentioned..."

Wu Song paused, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and said softly:
"That's an old friend of mine, who was once my equal. Now he's aiding and abetting evil, becoming a lackey of the traitor Song!"
If we meet again, I will help him to die a natural death and be reborn as a human as soon as possible.

He spoke casually, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

In his eyes, Dugu Ba and the mysterious swordsman, both Qi Refiners at the Yellow Court Realm, were nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs!
Just how strong is Master?

But he wouldn't give a direct answer, which made Liu Sheng feel like a little mouse had crawled into his heart, making him uncomfortable!
But in any case, this act of offering mango twigs and sweet dew to help the master rebuild his foundation was a gamble that paid off.

Next, if Master can dominate the Heavenly Palace, the greatest opportunity for immortality in the Qingyuan Cave ruins will be...

This is ours! I hope Master isn't just bragging, and won't let us down at this crucial moment.

"Are you worried that I'm boasting?"

At this moment, Wu Song suddenly turned his head and glared at Liu Sheng, as if he had heard Liu Sheng's inner thoughts.

Liu Sheng's heart tightened, and he quickly straightened his attitude, blurting out all sorts of flattering words:
"Ah, this... how could that be? Master, you are of course the most powerful. Your disciple has absolute confidence in you!"

"What Dugu Ba, Xie Bao, or the mysterious swordsman? They're just thugs who prey on ordinary people. In your eyes, they're nothing but worthless bastards, utterly vulnerable!"

"You little rascal, so glib-tongued. If I had your skills back then, perhaps..."

Wu Song glared at him, amused and annoyed, chuckled and cursed, then fell silent.

Finally, he sighed softly and said slowly:
"I severed my own foundation in Taoism, abolished all my demonic arts, and used the sweet dew of the willow branch to cleanse my tendons and marrow, and change my bones and bones."

Furthermore, drawing upon my many years of cultivation experience, and absorbing the wisdom of predecessors in the "Subduing Tiger Arhat's Zen Sutra," including its techniques, methods, and formations, as well as the essentials of various martial arts schools and their true skills...

He created a cultivation technique most suitable for me, the "Five Yin Tiger Demon Technique," and used it to rebuild my foundation in Tao.

This method truly integrates Buddhism and demons into one. First, it refines the five aggregates of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, and then leads one from demons to the path, attaining purity and liberation, and eliminating the afflictions of the six senses.

I have recorded this skill in the middle volume of the "Black Tiger Zen Scripture," and I have also modified several martial arts techniques from the Tiger Subduing Temple to match this skill, and recorded them in the middle volume as well.

However, now that you have embarked on your own path, which is completely different from my own, this "Black Tiger Zen Sutra" can only be used as a reference and should not be blindly copied.

Remember, learn from me and you will live; imitate me and you will perish.

Your talent is unparalleled, far surpassing that of your teacher. You should have the ambition to forge your own path, rather than blindly following in the footsteps of your predecessors and becoming trapped in old ways.

As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Liu Sheng. The scroll was inscribed with the words "Black Tiger Zen Sutra" and "Middle Volume," and the ink was still wet.

Liu Sheng accepted it with both hands. Although he only received 72 points of spiritual essence, it was a summary of his master Wu Song's lifelong cultivation.

It is a treasure that can be called a "carrier of the Way" and a symbol of the inheritance of the mantle!

"As for what you asked earlier..."

Wu Song raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression indifferent, as if stating a commonplace fact:

"Some people achieve the Yellow Court realm because the upper limit of their talent is the Yellow Court realm."

Some people advance to the Yellow Court level because the spiritual energy in this world has not yet fully recovered, and they can only cultivate up to the Yellow Court level at present.

understood!

It's like a top student getting 100 points because their ability only allows them to get 100 points; while a genius gets 100 points because the test is only worth 100 points.

Although both scores were 100, the meaning behind them was completely different.

Master is currently stuck at the Yellow Court Realm because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has not yet fully recovered, so he can only remain at the Yellow Court Realm for now!

"I observe that you possess the sinews of a dragon and the bones of a tiger, the strength of an elephant and the waist of an ox, and the power of an eagle and a crow. You are following the path of combining various physical attributes."

Unfortunately, all the forms were in disarray, lacking a dominant force to suppress them, resulting in a complex and mixed aura. While the foundation was solid, it was not pure, and the powerful energy lacked refinement.

Although they are currently being forcibly unified using a single, genuine skill, its rank is too low to effectively suppress the enemy, resulting in significant internal strife.

At this moment, Wu Song spoke again, pointing out the flaws in Liu Sheng's cultivation in a single sentence.

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked:

"Master, is there a solution?"

"When one cultivates a peerless true skill, suppresses all forms both internal and external, and merges all blood into one body, one can forge an unparalleled foundation for the Dao."

Unparalleled martial arts?

Liu Sheng nodded silently upon hearing this, his gaze passing over Wu Song and looking towards the magnificent Heavenly Palace that stretched to the horizon in the distance.

Will it be there...?
