Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 721 - 441: Heavenly Pride Trapped!

"The potential one can unleash in adversity and dire situations is limitless." Yan Chuan brought Luo Qi to one of the perilous places within the Tan Valley Royal City realm, the ’Fish and Dragon Marsh’. There, a ’Hong Sea’ resembled the sea but was not the sea, vast and boundless. Apart from the water being fresh, everything, including tides, was no different from the real sea.Yan Chuan pointed ahead—

Crash!

The waves roared.

Ying Jifeng stood alone amidst the waves, unmoved by the crashing water.

Yan Chuan said: "Brother Ying’s cultivation of the ’Star Absorption method’ is both righteous and evil. His Inner Strength is powerful yet chaotic, always on the brink of bodily explosion and death. But in the struggle against the great waves, his chaotic Inner Strength has been tempered, constantly confronting them. Ultimately, from ’Disperse Technique’ and ’Gathering Technique,’ he finally realized the ’Melding Technique’ method. This is one key to his proving the Innate Dao."

"The ’Star Absorption method’?"

"Contending with giant waves?"

Just that?

Can this prove the Innate Dao?

If so, Luo Qi thought to say—

"Can you do it too?"

"No, no, no."

Yan Chuan shook his head: "I said, the ’Star Absorption method’ and the waves are only part of it, realizing the ’Melding Technique’ method is the key, but just one such key. Brother Ying can prove the Dao; more importantly, he also cultivates the ’Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm’—"

To be soul demolishing, it’s just separation!

Ying Jifeng accumulated Inner Strength in adversity, practicing to counter the turbulent mountain floods, going against the traditional Inner Strength methods of various sects. The Star Absorption method accumulates thicker and thicker. During an attack, Inner Strength is freely deployed, which can be described as ’calm one moment, earth-shattering the next’.

Yet it also combines Ying Jifeng’s wild and domineering nature. Ying Jifeng, once the most promising Prince, was a disciple of Lv Xuan, the leader of the Eight Great Vajra of Eight Phases Mountain, one of the Six Great Sects, wild in temperament and extremely domineering, merging these qualities, truly described as ’Sea Wave’s Fury’.

The sea’s vastness, ten thousand miles without waves, raging waves, white waves like mountains, utterly changing, hidden with dangers.

Sometimes surging and rolling, sometimes undercurrents rushing.

The ’Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm’ during enemy confrontation, unpredictable, powerful like thunder, unparalleled across the Four Seas, Inner Strength can merge with the vast ocean’s abilities, rapidly increasing power, swift speed, oceanic master, ocean controlling a hundred rivers, converged internally for personal use, at great mastery can use Inner Strength to manipulate objects.

This is the Martial Arts essence of the ’Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm’.

But the key to all of this is—

"Soul Demolishing!"

...

"Martial arts are easy to cultivate, but the mental state is hard to seek." Yan Chuan said, "The ’Star Absorption method’ and the ’Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm’ fit Brother Ying, so he quickly proved the Dao. But they are not suitable for Brother Luo, forcing cultivation is useless."

After listening to Yan Chuan’s detailed analysis of Ying Jifeng and the ’Star Absorption method’ and the ’Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm’, Luo Qi also realized that the two Absolute Skills did not suit him, understanding that Ying Jifeng’s path was not his.

But Luo Qi truly wanted to prove the Dao!

"Brother Yan!" Luo Qi sincerely clasped his fists towards Yan Chuan, "Brother Yan, you are unparalleled in talent and brilliance, I humbly request a Customized Extreme Skill from you, whether I prove the Dao or not, I will serve with dedication in the future!"

At this point, Luo Qi finally set aside his ’Half Step Innate’ pride, emulating Ding Xiang, Ying Jifeng, and Peng Fannian, ’selling himself’ to Yan Chuan, solely for an Absolute Skill.

"Brother Luo, you speak too highly." Yan Chuan helped Luo Qi up: "However, I do have an Absolute Skill that might suit Brother Luo."

"Already?" Luo Qi was surprised, how long has it been?

"Inspiration is like this." Yan Chuan smiled, how much does Luo Qi understand about creating an Absolute Skill?

He casually said to Luo Qi: "I came to this place to observe the sea, just happened to have inspiration, coincidentally. But it is still in the embryonic form, needing one to two months to clear the framework and refine the details."

Two months are needed!

That’s good!

Luo Qi was genuinely afraid that Yan Chuan would casually give him an Absolute Skill to fool him.

Yan Chuan wouldn’t fool anyone: "This skill only has a concept now, but in terms of cultivation, Brother Luo can already begin. From today, you will stay here to observe the sea, watch intently, listen carefully, everything is feared when done attentively. By the time I create the Absolute Skill, it might also be the day you prove the Dao."

...

"Senior Brother!"

"Brother Ying and I have become living billboards!"

Ding Xiang watched Liu Xin leave, this was already the fourth Cang Mountain Heavenly Pride looking for Yan Chuan to request a tailored Absolute Skill after Ying Jifeng and her proved the Dao—

Luo Qi, Guo Xi, Jing Bao, Liu Xin!

Adding Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Lu Yuru, Ma Hongniang, including the newly proven Dao ones, Ding Xiang, Jing Bao, as well as Yan Chuan’s compatriots, Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, and the earlier proven Dao ones, Chen Ze, Wang Zhengyi—

"All the Heavenly Pride from the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion have entered Senior Brother’s urn!" Ding Xiang’s eyes were like crescent moons, smiling brilliantly.

"In the pursuit of the Dao, some will lead, some will follow. You can’t say it like that." Yan Chuan shook his head.

Actually, Ding Xiang wasn’t wrong. Half a year later, the structure of Tan Valley Royal City was vastly different.

When they first arrived last July, whether it was Ban Xianfu or Jing Bao, including Peng Fannian, Luo Qi, and others, each was unyielding, posturing, all seemingly amiable but actually proud at heart. After all, they were all from the Twelve Strong of the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, top Heavenly Pride of Great Yan. Why should you be superior?

Many harbored such a mindset.

Until the ’Heavenly Ladder City’ and the ’Mo Yin Continent’s Royal City Competition’ appeared, shaking some of their pride, Yan Chuan gained the first batch of supporters like Ding Xiang, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, and Lu Yuru.

Subsequently, with Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi proving the Dao sequentially, more were tempted.

Until Ding Xiang and Ying Jifeng unexpectedly proved the Dao, everyone could no longer sit still and flocked over.

To prove the Dao!

No shame!

Thus, Tan Valley Royal City united as one, becoming an unshakable solid iron block.
