Chapter 738 – Big Dipper Step

Does the path of the Big Dipper contain a hidden body combat technique? Long Chen wondered excitedly.

He turned out to be right. As he observed the spinning of the Big Dipper stars, he slowly saw a body combat technique belonging to the Seven Star Lord, which was surely an Emperor-tier technique. Very few people in the Ancient Graveyard had an Emperor-tier body combat technique, and this one came from the Seven Star Lord!

The name of this technique was the Big Dipper Step!

Is this body combat technique the key to breaking free from this domain? Long Chen thought to himself, puzzled. He could only figure out a rough concept of the technique, but he did not truly study it in depth.

Very soon, he figured out the key.

The Seven Star Lord left behind this domain that’s trapping us now. He also left behind the Big Dipper Step. Perhaps I can break free by using this technique. At least I’d be able to move around freely here!

Being able to move around freely here was enough. Long Chen would be able to use the Big Dipper Step to leave this place and enter the deeper parts of the tomb, thus receiving the true inheritance.

Long Chen grew excited. He had finally found a way to win.

Feng Zhilin was standing behind him, so he could not see her expression and did not know how she was doing. However, he was confident enough. He knew that with Feng Zhilin’s mindset and comprehension abilities, she could not figure it out as fast as he had.

Long Chen immersed himself in cultivating the Big Dipper Step. He observed the path of the moving constellation and slowly derived a body combat technique from it.

This process was long. He spent a total of five days studying and extracting the core concepts of the Big Dipper Step based on the movements of the constellation.

Most of his exhausted essence had recovered during these past five days. However, his essence was still stuck at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. His Martial Soul was still injured, and he would not be able to control too much essence anyway. He estimated that Feng Zhilin had also recovered. She came from a wealthy background and had likely consumed countless times more spiritual medicines in her lifetime. Her body likely had a substantial healing factor, plus she seemed to know some regenerative life combat techniques too. Her injuries had likely healed by now.

She would likely regain her peak form in one or two months.

After she could not figure out the way to get out despite carefully poring over the stars, Feng Zhilin chose a different path. She focused on replenishing her strength. Although she could not move, she could still guide her essence through her body. Through the movement of her essence and triggering the remaining medicinal factors in her body, she achieved her goal of healing her injuries.

If the domain power vanished, she would be able to easily kill Long Chen with just a wave of her hand. The gap between the Third and Eighth Earthly Martial Stages was unimaginable.

This ordinary teenager had suddenly turned into the devil. Before coming to this domain, she had been very confident, thinking that her comprehension abilities had far surpassed Long Chen’s. But when she saw Long Chen move, she suffered a huge blow to her heart!

If Long Chen could move normally in this place, would she be able to come out alive?

Definitely not.

Her heart trembled as she looked at him in panic. All she could do was pray that he could not succeed.

But the more she thought that, the nearer he grew to success.

The Big Dipper Step is indeed an Emperor-tier body combat technique. Previously, I thought my cultivation speed would become very, very slow due to the restriction of this domain. Now I see that I can only achieve this cultivation speed because of the pressure holding me down.

The Seven Star Lord had probably made adequate arrangements for this. If Long Chen received the Big Dipper directly and cultivated it on his own, he did not know how long it would take him. However, under the restrictions of the domain, he could practice the Big Dipper Step at the slowest speed possible, which was extremely beneficial for him to gradually grasp the Emperor-tier technique.

Very soon, Long Chen could make larger movements with his limbs, much to Feng Zhilin’s horror. First, he moved his feet, then his arms, and in the end, Feng Zhilin lost all hope.

Ten more days passed. Feng Zhilin’s injuries had mostly recovered. If she controlled all the essence in her body, she might be able to move her body and limbs slightly. That was the most she could do. Yet Long Chen could even cultivate a body combat technique here!

Long Chen did not even look back once within these ten days, but this terrified her even more. She knew that the day he turned to look back was also the day she would die.

The killer and the victim had switched places.

In the beginning, Long Chen was a prey who could not fight back against Feng Zhilin at all. Now Feng Zhilin felt like she was a helpless lamb, while Long Chen was the most terrifying wolf. He was merely laying low. Sooner or later, he would pounce fiercely to take her life.

Feng Zhilin knew him well. She knew he was not the kind who showed mercy to pretty girls. Lady Snow was a very beautiful woman, but Long Chen had used the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal to reduce her to ashes!

When she thought about how she would end up the same, Feng Zhilin turned pale with fear.

She regretted fighting this terrifying teenager. This was the most tragic event of her life. Previously, she never expected him to be this scary, but now she understood. Everyone outside was mocking Long Chen for saying he would never let the Divine clan’s young master go, that he wanted to fight him. Feng Zhilin also laughed at Long Chen for being so arrogant, but now she knew that Long Chen might actually be able to do it. The fact that the Divine clan’s young master had not killed Long Chen when he had the chance meant that it would certainly cause huge problems in the future.

The starlight from above shone down on Long Chen’s body, which faintly sparkled with starlight, making him look like he was part of the stars. He then started to move very quickly. Sometimes, he would appear here, but in the next moment, he would appear in another place.
