Chapter 559: Swallowing Karma

Chapter 559: Swallowing Karma

Fang Chen walked alone in the deep and secluded corridor, with the black and white paper figures floating like willow catkins on his side. As he walked, he collected the storage rings of the cultivators who had died during the trials. Although the cultivation resources in these storage rings might not amount to much, accumulating them still came to a considerable sum.

Before long, Fang Chen arrived in front of the Skinning Hall, gazing at the twenty bright red corpses. He couldn't help but ask softly, "Little White, Little Black, why does the Skinning Hall take away their skins?"

The white paper figure smiled and answered, "We only need the karma on their bodies. The karma devoured over the years is why this Immortal Tomb still stands despite how many years have passed.

"This is also a form of the Heavenly Abhorrence Technique. Once you advance to the Upper Three Realms, you can start practicing it. Fortunately, you have the Introduction to the Three Thousand Daos as the foundation. With this, you can practice any sect's techniques in the world. It won't be like the past, where one might possess several divine techniques but can't grasp their essence."

Fang Chen was slightly startled. "Cultivating the Introduction to the Three Thousand Daos has such an advantage?"

"Yes. For instance, not all sects can practice the Spiritual Attachment Technique you just used. There's also the Skin Peeling Technique, the Radiant Divine Eyes, and the Azure Thunder Technique. All of them require corresponding methods. However, with the Introduction to the Three Thousand Daos, you can practice any sect’s technique," the white paper figure explained.

Fang Chen was hit with a realization. It seemed that Yun Tiancheng from the Profound Yellow Palace, and the ancient cultivation family mentioned by Mirror of the Universe could naturally cultivate the Radiant Divine Eye. That indicated that both originated from the same lineage. Even if they weren't, they belonged to the same "category."

It was similar to the Great Expansion Dao Gate and the Innate Dao Sect, where they had different cultivation techniques and did not belong to the same Dao lineage yet both practiced the Spiritual Attachment Technique.

In addition, he had another huge advantage.

The Heavenly Abhorrence Technique!

The Skin Peeling Technique, Radiant Divine Eye, and Azure Thunder Technique all belonged to the Heavenly Abhorrence Technique.

According to the white paper figure, he could practice all the Heavenly Abhorrence Technique, while the other cultivators were not fortunate enough to do so.

Fang Chen suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of a technique called the Shadow Buddha Technique?"

The black and white paper figures were slightly stunned.

"Lord, it was rumored a long time ago that the Shadow Buddha Technique was also a peak escape technique of a certain lineage, but its inheritance has long been lost. Even our master didn't find this technique back then."

The white paper figure said curiously, "Lord, you wouldn't happen to know this technique, would you?"

Fang Chen smiled and nodded. "I do."

"This is also a kind of eye technique...."

However, with their knowledge, they couldn't recognize the origin of the Primordial Immortal Eyes. They only noticed that Fang Chen's understanding of the Skin Peeling Technique deepend after he activated that eye technique, as if he had practiced it thousands of times!

As the human skin fused with the corpse, the Qi Refining Realm cultivator slowly opened his eyes, showing a bewildered expression: "Mommy, Daddy, where am I?"

"Your parents are not here," said the black paper figure coldly.

The Qi Refining Realm cultivator gradually came to his senses, memories flooding back into his mind as he finally recalled what had happened to him. He gasped and shivered uncontrollably, staring blankly at the black and white paper figure.

After a few moments, he seemed to suddenly realize something. He quickly checked his body up and down and found that his skin was intact before letting out a deep sigh of relief.

Grateful for being rescued, he immediately bowed to Fang Chen. "Many thanks for saving me, senior! This is a lifesaving grace!"

"Take it easy for now," said Fang Chen.

Fang Chen nodded slightly and began to perform the Skin Peeling Technique on the second person. The Qi Refining Realm cultivator quietly watched Fang Chen, then glanced at the black and white paper figures, feeling increasingly horrified.

Why were these two paper figures following this Foundation Building Realm cultivator?

Even after Fang Chen rescued the second person, he couldn't make sense of it. He could only set aside his question and wait at the side cautiously.

After some time passed and all twenty pieces of human skin returned to their original owners, a ripple of emotion stirred in the hearts of the black and white paper figure. It seemed that their lord’s spiritual energy was inexhaustible!

"Many thanks, senior, for giving us a new life. This junior will never forget it. If there is a chance in the future, I will surely repay you!"

The people gradually regained their composure, bowing and expressing their gratitude to Fang Chen while feeling deeply grateful and fearful. If it weren't for the intervention of this senior, they might have been imprisoned here for life and would have disappeared completely!

"It's time to leave," Fang Chen said softly, leading the way out of the Immortal Tomb.

When the black and white paper figures saw this, they vanished into thin air and reappeared by Fang Chen's side.

The twenty Qi Refining Realm cultivators cautiously followed behind Fang Chen until they saw a large door slowly opening ahead of them. Only then did they feel a sense of relief, as if they had escaped death.
