Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 207 I, Zhu Kun, have finally emerged!

It took Huo Yuhao a full half hour to gain a basic understanding of all the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques that Zhu Kun had passed on to him.

"Heavenly Rank Advanced Ice Shadow Technique, Heavenly Rank Advanced Crimson Flame Heaven-Burning Technique, Heavenly Rank Advanced Bodhi Treasure Book—"

"Hmm? The Bodhi Manual!" Huo Yuhao immediately read the entire manual from beginning to end without missing a single word.

"It's just a technique created by a powerful person who has attained Bodhi Heart, and it has nothing to do with the Bodhi Tree." Huo Yuhao felt a pang of disappointment.

"Indeed! Apart from those exclusive combat techniques, other cultivation methods only focus on combat qi, with only a few having additional functions in other areas."

After comparing the two, Huo Yuhao agreed with Zhu Kun's point of view.

If we exclude the Burning Technique, the inherited cultivation method of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is indeed very likely to be the number one cultivation method on the Dou Qi Continent.

Zhu Kun nodded, proudly stating, "Our cultivation methods are different from theirs. The Great Void Technique passed down through my clan pursues the simultaneous advancement of essence, qi, and spirit! During cultivation, one can simultaneously 'enhance battle qi, temper the physique, forge the soul, tap into bloodline potential, and comprehend the power of space!!!'"

This "Great Void Technique" is indeed very complete, worthy of what Zhu Kun said about the continuous research and improvement by successive Dragon Emperors.

"However—since we possess the strongest cultivation technique!" Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why is it that no one in our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has yet broken through to the Dou Di realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun couldn't help but sigh.

"That's because the world lacks Origin Qi. For a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng to take that final step and advance to the Dou Di level, they must have Origin Qi as a guide to succeed."

"I see." Huo Yuhao nodded, then asked, "What about before Tuoshe Ancient Emperor became a Dou Di?"

"Back then, the primordial energy was not yet exhausted, and my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had produced a continuous line of Dragon Emperors, each of whom was at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

"This—cough cough—" A hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on Zhu Kun's face, his gaze shifting as if he had remembered something he couldn't bear to look at.

"Hey kid, stop digging into things."

The image of the void stone tablet in the Dragon Emperor's Secret Land, which carried the resentment of countless generations of Dragon Emperors, uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

The surface was densely covered with the complaints of each generation of Dragon Emperors.

They were mostly complaining about their incredibly bad luck.

Especially the Dragon Emperor, who lived during the same era as the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, cursed loudly on the stone tablet: "That old bastard Tuoshe, who crawled out of a pile of strange fire! Where the hell did he dig out this Origin Qi from?! And he even dug out three portions in one go! I've been roaming this Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years and haven't smelled a single hair! That old scoundrel must have stepped in dragon dung!"

Zhu Kun shook his head sharply, banishing the resentful image from his mind, and looked at Huo Yuhao again, speaking seriously.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on the past. If you feel that the Great Void Technique is not suitable for you, there are other top-tier ice-attribute techniques among the cultivation methods I've passed on to you."

Zhu Kun's voice took on a serious tone: "You can use this time to recover your fighting spirit and carefully consider which cultivation method you should switch to."

"Remember, do not switch cultivation methods immediately because of the temptation! If you switch methods before your battle qi has recovered, it will directly lead to the dissipation of your power!"

"Okay, I understand," Huo Yuhao replied solemnly. Then, he changed the subject and steered the conversation back to the core purpose of his trip.

"Uncle Zhukun, you mentioned before that it's possible to briefly project power beyond this spatial barrier. Could soul power also be sent out in a similar way?"

"I understand what you mean. I naturally know how to create a soul clone as well." Zhu Kun's eyebrows twitched, and he sighed, "But the soul clone is still connected to the original soul, and it cannot break through the seal of this ancient emperor's cave. Even if you condense a clone at the entrance of the cave, it cannot get far away at all."

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I think this idea isn't impossible."

Huo Yuhao discovered that Zhu Kun could forcibly send his battle qi out of the ground, but his soul power seemed to be completely locked in this space.

o

After hearing Zhu Kun's explanation, he felt even more that his idea was feasible.

Because Uncle Zhukun deliberately severed his connection with that battle aura when he sent me up, I was unable to control my strength.

Thinking of the broken top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Huo Yuhao asked, "Then, if it's a severed piece of soul power, is it possible for it to leave this space?"

Zhu Kun pondered, "Theoretically, it's feasible—but what use would the severed soul power be if the consciousness within it were disconnected from the original body?"

Just as I expected! A knowing smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.

This is the key! A significant difference between mental power and soul power lies in this:

Even when separated from the body, spiritual energy can retain its independent consciousness as long as its structure remains intact!

He immediately took out a blank scroll from his storage ring, and with a surge of soul power, quickly sketched on it.

With Huo Yuhao's current level of divine sense, it is impossible for him to directly inscribe memories on Zhu Kun's Emperor-level soul; this is the only way.

"Uncle Zhukun, I have a special secret technique here that may be of help to you in your current predicament."

"A secret technique?" Zhu Kun looked slightly puzzled, but still reached out, took the scroll, and quickly browsed through it.

"Concentration Technique - Modified Version?"

In an instant, Zhu Kun fully understood the core essence of this secret technique.

Zhu Kun's pupils suddenly shone with an astonishing light: "Open up the sea of ​​spirit—transform the essence of soul power and use it as spiritual power—"

"Uncle, you can try channeling a portion of your soul power into the entrance of the ancient emperor's cave," Huo Yuhao then explained.

"Then, following this method, this portion of soul power is transformed into spiritual power, and through this, a spiritual clone is created."

Huo Yuhao tapped his fingertips on his storage ring, expressing his thoughts while carefully examining the spatial barriers of the ancient emperor's cave.

"In this way, even if this transformed spiritual energy is severed, its inherent characteristics will allow one to maintain their consciousness!"

Zhu Kun's body jolted violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his breath seemingly stopping for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a light called hope burst forth from his eyes.

His hands rubbed together in his chest with excitement, causing subtle ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Kun immediately said, "Okay! Okay! I'll try it now!"

The entrance to the ancient emperor's cave.

Huo Yuhao stood silently in the magma, his gaze fixed on the twisted entrance, waiting patiently.

Within his mental world, the voice of the Guardian Mirror echoed: "What if this method ultimately fails?"

Huo Yuhao's consciousness responded calmly: "If that doesn't work, I have other alternatives. However, I don't intend to use that method at this stage."

The Mirror of Protection remained silent for a moment, then understood what Huo Yuhao meant.

"Wouldn't it be much better to just rescue the old dragon's main body directly, instead of going through all this trouble just to create a clone?"

Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head, offering no further explanation.

Just then, buzz!

A vast and powerful soul force suddenly smashed through the spatial barrier at the entrance of the ancient emperor's cave, managing to seep out in a wisp!

"change!"

All that could be heard was a long-suppressed, roaring shout from Zhu Kun, which sounded like Jinping's roar, coming from the depths of the cave!

The pure and refined soul power that emanated from it immediately began to circulate according to the Concentration Technique.

The moment the transformation was complete, Zhu Kun had a thought, and the part of the spiritual power that had just been transformed was instantly cut off!

Almost simultaneously, the sealing power of the ancient emperor's cave descended with a thunderous roar.

Countless strange flames, shimmering with fluorescent light, relentlessly suppressed the soul power that attempted to continue its infiltration.

The entrance returned to calm.

Only Huo Yuhao and the fragment of spiritual energy that had been cut off and was emitting a soft light remained on the scene.

Huo Yuhao and Zhu Kun, who was hiding in the cave, held their breath and waited nervously.

Time passed second by second—the light on that ball of spiritual energy flickered steadily, and the flame glow that the ancient emperor had sealed away as expected did not appear!

It worked!

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!"

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the ball of spiritual light! Initially suppressed, the laughter grew louder and louder, becoming increasingly...

The sound eventually transformed into deafening, earth-shattering laughter!

This laughter contained the anger, frustration, and resentment of being trapped in a corner for thousands of years, and even more so, the ultimate joy and liberation of finally breaking free from the cage!

Laughter echoed wildly in this magma world, as if sweeping away the pent-up frustration accumulated over thousands of years!
