Chapter 974: Chapter 974

"How could he know what's behind?"

"Village chief, you can experiment with secret techniques, as long as you don't get hurt.

But this cultivation technique is fundamental; you mustn't try it recklessly.

Many concepts are just the general outline; the main direction is correct, but the subsequent details are truly crucial.

Don't experiment carelessly."

Yu Ziqing earnestly advised, feeling rather uneasy.

"I understand better than you do. It's just that lately, while adjusting the Divine Skills of the Ten Directions, I've increasingly found this general outline to be reasonable.

It's significantly beneficial for advancement.

You Zhen also said that no one can blindly follow when advancing to the Ninth Tier.

At most, it serves as a reference or two.

Advancing to the Ninth Tier is about solidifying the Daoist Foundation; afterward, you can only walk a single path until the end.

This step must align with one's heart, one's own strength, and one's own Dao. Only with these three aligned can one go far.

I've already determined the path that aligns most with my heart."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqing dared not speak carelessly, confirming only the general direction, knowing it was correct, but dare not say anything more.

But seeing the village chief's spirit, Yu Ziqing felt much relieved.

"Are you planning to attempt the Ninth Tier now?"

"Not so soon. My accumulation is insufficient, and it will take a few more years; I've just found the direction for the Ninth Tier."

Yu Ziqing and Yang looked at each other in silence.

Do they not know that for a Great Cultivator at the Eighth Tier to advance to the Ninth Tier, the hardest first step is actually finding a clear and correct direction that fully matches oneself?

Well, the village chief might indeed not know these things.

The village chief might think this is normal procedure, that the difficulty is only in advancing.

Yang dared not speak carelessly either, fearing to shake the village chief's confidence.

The village chief is indeed a natural Body Cultivator, with a pure root bone talent, although not as strong as Er Han. Content originally comes from n0velfire.net

But this talent for Body Refinement extends beyond the basic root bone.

The village chief's other strengths are remarkably outstanding, reaching an absurd level.

He seems to be born for Body Refinement.

If he hadn't started so late when his Qi-Blood is already declining, his basic root bone talent might have been even stronger than Er Han's.

The village chief wobbled away.

Yang sighed, and Yu Ziqing followed suit with a sigh, even the dragon head that was always pretending to be a stone sculpture relaxed with a sigh.

The power that hadn't fluctuated on that dragon head started to flow naturally.

"Truly terrifying..." Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, I don't dare speak recklessly either."

The look in the dragon head's eyes also showed, it greatly agreed, indeed terrifying.

To make a brainless fierce beast somewhat mindful, how could it not be terrifying?

Yang put away the dragon head, and then Yu Ziqing spoke.

"This trip has been quite fruitful."

Yu Ziqing recounted the encounters and intelligence gathered on this journey.

Yang paid little attention to matters concerning the Moon God, as there was no suspense in it. With surprise in his eyes, he spoke of another matter.

"Yes, do you also feel it might not be much related to the Shadow Department?"

"Correct, the Shadow Great Escape of the Shadow Department, although I haven't seen the complete True Intent Classics, I have witnessed the opening of the True Intent Classics.

The Shadow Great Escape is nearly impossible to be used to refine the Death Dragon Talisman.

The key point is that within the Dali Shadow Department, it's been a long time since someone cultivated the Shadow Great Escape to its highest realm.

If that Dharma method were merely a secret technique, it would be understandable.

But the Shadow Great Escape is both cultivation and technique, and even in the Ancient Era, no one could cultivate both the technique and the skill to the highest Perfect Realm.

Only pure techniques like the Silence Divine Spell or True Word Curse could reach the highest realm.

I dare not claim it to be perfect, but the imperfect couldn't possibly be used for refining the Death Dragon Talisman.

The power of the Shadow Great Escape, strictly speaking, is the convergence of technique and skill.

Only Kun You, a natural power, is inherent.

If one wished to refine artifacts, using Kun You's body is the most suitable and stable choice.

When Kun You migrate, the power to traverse the void that bursts forth at its strongest can be solidified and refined into materials.

When used for refining artifacts, this power can be incorporated into the Magical Treasure.

After all, there are actually quite a lot of Kun You.

Moreover, each migration consumes more than half.

From the born Kun You, those who return smoothly also suffer greatly.

No one paid attention in the past because Kun You in normal times doesn't breed such power at all.

Naturally, no one regarded it as any top-quality material.

If those who knew these things wanted to obtain materials, they could naturally acquire Kun You as material at the most opportune time."

"Who do you think is capable of knowing this and silently extracting the power of the void from Kun You during gestation for materials?" Yu Ziqing asked, knowing the answer.

Yang immediately fell silent.

"Only people from the Kun Pond have such an opportunity."

The Kun Pond is the institution of Daqian responsible for raising Kun You, independent of the various court departments.

Originally, there was an Imperial Stables, managing all related matters.

But as the authority of the Imperial Stables grew, the Kun You raised by the Kun Pond became too critical, leading to its independence.

Everything related to Kun You cultivation, including resources, taming, distribution, etc., is managed by the Kun Pond.

However, the information transmitted by Kun You is handled in a fully concealed state, even those in the Kun Pond are not allowed to spy on it.

Though it's said so, in practical operations, if unnecessary procedures are added, it would slow down the speed of information transmission.

The greatest advantage of Kun You would be diminished.

Therefore, much intelligence transmitted through Kun You passes through the Kun Pond.
