Chapter 194 Useless Technique?
" Endless Rain Slash? Earth Grade Technique?" Long Ming frowned when scanned through the scroll. Even after reading twice, he realized that it was indeed an Earth grade technique.
' Not to mention, the technique is absurdly tricky. It was like instead of choosing the shortest possible ways, the creators purposely chose the hardest way to do the simplest tasks.' Long Ming scratched his head as he read through the scroll.
For example, if you want to drink water, you simply take a glass and drink water. However, this techniques was more about talking about the shapes of different glasses, types of water and the combination of both of them.
' If I were to sit and ponder, with my heavenly comprehension I can easily make a simpler and effective version of this technique. However, it would completely alter the original technique, making it meaningless.' Long Ming rubbed his forehead as he sighed.
With his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could feel the traces of a powerful existence on the scroll, similar to the diary of Empress Winter Song. However, he simply can't understand why Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea would make such a useless and inefficient technique. noVe(lb)In
Long Ming didn't lose his faith as he studied the technique carefully. This time, rather than focusing on the attacking power and effect of the technique, he focused on the other aspects deemed to be useless by most cultivators.
' Although it's pretty average in firepower, there theories here regarding the Dao of Cloud and Dao of Water are pretty evident. If one delves deeper into this theory, their chances of attaining the intent of Water and Clouds will increase.'
' But that's nothing to do with me as I have heavenly comprehension heart. If I wish to comprehend anything, I can do so easily.'
But then, Long Ming noticed something. ' Although it's a complete technique, some of the theories seem to be...Missing. Yes, No matter how dumb Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was, there was no way he would make such mistakes.'
' Wait, What if it's an incomplete technique?' Long Ming suddenly thought as he held the scroll tightly. 'Yes, There is no meaning of hiding this technique in a stone sealed by a poem. This scroll must be a key of something big.'
However, For now, the scroll is useless for Long Ming. So, He threw it into his spatial bracelet He walked back to his cave as he saw the bonfire was still burning. The eastern sky already started to brighten up,
Long Ming saw Ming Yuexin was sitting beside the bonfire. Her sword floated before her as she sat cross legged. Long Ming could feel her sword was being washed with her sword intent and spiritual qi simultaneously.
' Interesting. She already learned the sword spirit refinement technique from the teachings I gave her. Ming Yuexin is definitely suitable for the dao of sword.'
Feeling movements, Ming Yuexin opened her eyes and glanced at Long Ming. " Brother Long, You are back. Did you gain anything by meditating before the stone monument?"
" Nothing much." Long Ming sat beside Ming Yuexin as he shook his head.
" Haha, I know. Many people tried to decipher the secret of that stone monument. But other than that poem, nothing is special in it."
" Hmm, Anyway, I guess you are making good progress in Bright Emperor's Supreme Sword Art." Long Ming chuckled.
" Indeed. I have learned the way to wash my sword with my sword intent and spiritual qi, continuously nourishing the sword spirit inside it. Not to mention, I feel I also have progressed significantly in the intent of fire and sword intent."
" Sister Ming, Since you are a summer branch practitioner, you should focus on merging the power of both intent of fire and sword intent, boosting your destructive capabilities."
" Not to mention, this Royal grade weapon was blessed by Empress Crimson Sky. So, you need to refine its spirit thoroughly before being able to bring forth its true power."
" Senior Brother Long is wise. I shall heed your words." Ming Yuexin nodded as she crept closer to Long Ming. Suddenly, holding his waist, her soft lips cooed in his ear.
" But since both of us are alone now, shouldn't we enjoy this private moment?"
" Sister Ming, Are you not afraid of Senior Sister Mu?" Long Ming chuckled. But he was also bolder as he held Ming Yuexin in her embrace, their lips were barely apart from each other.
" Mm, Having such a daring Senior Brother, How can I be afraid?"
" MMnnn...."
Their lips were sealed as Ming Yuexin and Long Ming engaged in a fiery and passionate kiss. Their tongue danced together, tasting each other's moist warmth.
Feeling Long Ming with such intensity, his pheromones from his Incubus Bloodline made her desires flare up.
Feeling the fiery gaze of Ming Yuexin, filled with lustful desires, Long Ming flicked her forehead. " Sister Ming, You are a sword cultivator yet you give in your desires so fast."
" Ugh, Isn't that your fault?" Ming Yuexin pouted as she got sobered. " You gave me the greatest pleasure, only to leave me dry for a whole month."
" Hehe, So, Does Sister Ming imply that she wants it again?"
" Bah, Shameless bastard!" Ming Yuexin pushed Long Ming playfully. " How can you say something like that?" She felt her cheeks were burning.
" My, I guess both of you were having fun, huh?"
Suddenly, Both Ming Yuexin and Long Ming paused as they heard the calm yet chilling voice.
" Ahaha, Qinglian, You came back." Ming Yuexin smiled awkwardly as she looked at Mu Qinglian. " I was just discussing something about the sword dao with Brother Long."
" I see." Mu Qinglian nodded with a slight sneer. " It seems like it was a very deep and intimate discussion."
" COUGH!"
Long Ming almost choked on his saliva when he heard that. " Alright. It's already morning. Look, the sun is rising."
Meng Zhi also woke up from her sleep as she walked towards the group. Long Ming pointed at the rising sun as everyone saw the eastern sky turning bright with a faint hue of morning light.
" Beautiful. The mist along with the sunrise looks so mystifying." Ming Yuexin murmured.
" Indeed, No wonder it's famous as a scenic spot." Long Ming chuckled.
Since it was morning, there were a few cultivators on the summit. As Long Ming and his group turned around to get down from the mountain, they suddenly a small troop of cultivators.
" Halt there!"
Long Ming and others frowned when they saw the troop. However, Long Ming's eyes flashed as he looked at their insignia.
" Are you from the Qi Family of Misty Hills Town?" Long Ming's paper fan spread out as he walked forward, asking in an amicable voice.
" Yes, Fellow Daoist. We are from the Qi Family." An old man walked forward as he looked at Long Ming. " And this fellow daoist is from..."
" We are from Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming answered. " And if you please give some way, we shall leave now."
" But before leaving, I would like to inquire you about something." The old man asked. " Did you encounter our young master Qi Baifu?"
" Who?" Long Ming became confused.
" Qi Baifu, Our young master." The old man spoke.
" I see... He is your young master. What can I do? I don't even know him." Long Ming shrugged.
" I... Uh... Did you encounter him?" The old man asked. But suddenly, his face turned stiff when he recalled Long Ming said he didn't know him.
" I don't know. We didn't climb the Misty Hill with the main route." Long Ming shook his head. " Why? Has anything happened?"
" N-No, Nothing at all."
" I see. Then, I shall take my leave." Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and others with a smile as he walked away.
After a while, Meng Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. " Oh my, Your acting skill is truly impressive. You didn't flinch at all before lying on their face."
" What do you mean? I didn't see Qi Baifu at all...After killing him." Long Ming chortled.
" Hmph, I wonder how many women you tricked with this method of yours." Mu Qinglian spat viciously.
" Why? Is Qinglian one of them?" Ming Yuexin didn't let go of this chance and poked Mu Qinglian.
" Wh-Who said that!" Mu Qinglian became flustered. " Besides, The most suspicious one is you, Sister Ming."
" Ahaha, My, my...Such lively younglings." Meng Zhi rubbed her chin.
As they arrived at the town, Long Ming realized that the Qi Family almost flipped the entire Misty Hills City.
It seems like the soul lamp of Qi Baifu broke yesterday, making everyone in the Qi Family go crazy. However, Long Ming had no concerns as he erased all traces thoroughly.
' Hmm, Why did I feel so natural when I was erasing the corpses? It was like...A habit. Analyzing the crime scene, finding the spots of evidence, and replacing it...Interesting.' Long Ming rubbed his chin.
After a while, they boarded the flying boat and left for Holy Qilin City.
" Huh? Brother Long, You want to know about the situation of the Imperial Family?"
