Chapter 450 - Gao Zhijian

Chapter 450 - Gao Zhijian

Li Huowang opened his eyes. He sat up in the messy bed and looked towards his right. He saw the sunlight entering through the window and knew he had slept in. It was already well into the morning.

“I overslept again?” Li Huowang muttered.

Ignoring the shallow cuts on his body, he put on his clothes and descended down the wooden stairs.

“Good morning Junior Li,” Zhuge Yuan said, greeting Li Huowang with a fan in hand.

“Good morning, Senior Zhuge.”

Seeing Zhuge Yuan, Li Huowang slapped the back of his head in regret. He had just returned to the village and already let his guard down. Zhuge Yuan was still an illusion, and he needed to save him! Cultivating the "Truth" was much more important than having sex!

Li Huowang ate a bun and pickled vegetables before downing a bowl of porridge in haste. After breakfast, he quickly found a quiet room in the estate and sat down to cultivate.

According to the complicated text on the scroll, once he had covered the primordial breath with his inner sight, he could start cultivating the next step to utilize it. He had to first circulate the primordial breath through his chakra points in the correct order: Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and finally the Crown Chakra.

He had to shroud his Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings with the formless primordial breath once. It was a difficult process, and Li Huowang felt like he was trying to push an elephant. He could not accomplish it even after half a day.

Nevertheless, he was not hasty. Cultivation requires persistence; one could not be impatient.

If the Strayed One that Bei Feng had tricked could do it, then Li Huowang could do it too.

Li Huowang didn't know how long he spent cultivating, but when he stopped due to fatigue and opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dark.

The entire room was warped beyond recognition. The floor and walls were either protruding or sunken.

Li Huowang frowned. It turned out that cultivating this technique would cause severe damage to the cultivator's surroundings.

I need to find somewhere more remote so I don’t harm the others. I can’t cultivate in Cowheart Village anymore.

Li Huowang stood up and walked towards the door, but when he opened it, he was surprised to see a youth standing on the ceiling.

The youth saw Li Huowang and stumbled backward out of shock and fear. The youth then crawled away.

Only the Shai Zi were capable of plotting such a scheme. The Shai Zis spent so much time collecting the "Lies" from so many people for just one reason: to find the opportunity to summon Doulao so that they could take the Sacred Mountain Ghost’s Eye from the emperor.

The Heavenly Dao on the dead Sacred Mountain Ghost’s Eye appeared to be one that governed chaos.

But this is strange. According to what I know, the Shai Zis should be finding methods to trick the Heavenly Dao away from Doulao so that they could ascend into godhood. Why are they helping Doulao? Or were they tricked by Doulao?

Gao Zhijian pulled on Li Huowang, bringing him back to reality.

“Sorry. I’m thinking about a lot of things. Is there anything else?” Li Huowang asked.

“Yes,” Gao Zhijian replied simply and entered his house.

Soon after, he returned with a book.

Li Huowang recognized it as the book that he had taken from Peng Longteng.

“Th-th-this is... a... training manual for soldiers...” Gao Zhijian stammered.

Li Huowang was shocked. He took the book and quickly read through it. The book was indeed a training manual for soldiers. It taught the reader how to increase their murderous aura as well as how to control it.

“Did you learn it?” Li Huowang asked.

“Yes,” Gao Zhijian answered with a nod.

He looked around and found Peng Longteng’s halberd. Gripping it tightly, he took a deep breath and howled as he raised the heavy weapon.

A dense murderous aura spread out from Gao Zhijian. The headless Peng Longteng got excited, her large hands clenching and releasing in anticipation.

Gao Zhijian let out a furious roar, “HA!”

A strong wind blew through Li Huowang’s hair. Then the massive halberd was thrust into the ground in front of him. The earth shook, and cracks appeared on the ground. Li Huowang almost thought there was an earthquake.

Li Huowang was surprised that Gao Zhijian had become this powerful. If he were to grow a little taller, he would be the same height as Peng Longteng.

Was Gao Zhijian a genius, or was the training method for soldiers easy to learn?
