High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 79 - 78: Winds and Trees Depend on Each Other
The Third Aspect "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha" actually simulates the phenomenon when Buddha was born.
When Buddha descended to earth, he walked seven steps, each step sprouting lotus flowers, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, declaring "I am the supreme in heaven and earth." At that time, two dragons appeared, spouting water from their mouths to bathe Buddha.
Thus, this aspect got its name.
Chen Kuang broke Li Hongling’s spine with this aspect, already aware of its dominance.
Once launched, it is unmatched and invincible.
This aspect emphasizes the momentum of the heart, similar to the military formations, with an unbeatable intent in the heart, granting an invincible stance.
However, without sufficient Spiritual Qi to support it, no matter how strong the heart’s momentum is, it’s akin to a rootless duckweed; even if used, it will instantly drain one’s energy, spirit, and life force, leading to sudden death.
At the time, Chen Kuang had the massive Spiritual Qi provided by the Divine Inquiry Jade, allowing him to use the aspect without hesitation.
Coupled with the determination to kill Li Hongling, he could perfectly execute this aspect.
But now, he is merely a true Nine Orifice Cultivator, and with no target in front of him, he can’t truly use this move.
He is merely reminiscing about his feelings back then, understanding a trace of its essence, hoping to quickly enter into the state when necessary.
Fortunately, the passive ability as a "Martial Arts Genius" is truly effective, allowing Chen Kuang to seamlessly transition from "Tusitala Descending Heaven" to "White Lotus Birth," and then to "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha."
The white lotus between Chen Kuang’s eyebrows flickered, his breath and strength fluctuated around his body, with one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, the transformation of strength creating one light and clear and the other heavy and turbid, gradually merging.
At the Fourth Level of Stacked Force, his consciousness hovered above the celestial spirit, as if returning to the battlefield of that day.
In that instant, the scene of Li Hongling’s giant halberd cleaving approached closely, his heart tightened suddenly, muscles tensed between life and death, and blood surged crazily.
Strength... Fifth Level.
Chen Kuang suddenly opened his eyes, his hands about to form seals, the floor of the room pressed by the force making unbearable cracking sounds, and the surrounding furniture trembling.
"Huh..."
He took a deep breath, forcibly stopping at this moment, with the force on his hands grinding against each other, gradually dissipating like a millstone, refining the released Spiritual Qi.
"Hoo—"
The refined Spiritual Qi gathered around his body, billowing his sleeves like a layer of fluttering light gauze.
On the white clothes, the gauze gradually took shape, resembling a robe.
Fourth Aspect, "Moon Robe!"
Chen Kuang’s lips curled with satisfaction, it indeed worked!
"Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha" is about release, while "Moon Robe" is about withdrawal, requiring the Spiritual Qi to repeatedly refine the whole body, then using the highly tempered body to refine the Spiritual Qi in reverse, releasing it to form a defensive barrier like a robe.
Logically, this is not a technique that can be mastered at the Enlightenment Realm.
To achieve this level, one must at least reach the Innate Realm, undergo Washing Marrow, be reborn and transformed.
However, Chen Kuang had a sudden idea, realizing the essence of "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha" is the union of two diametrically opposing forces to create such invincible power.
If so, is it feasible to use the two forces to refine Spiritual Qi before "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha" becomes fully formed?
Facts prove, it is indeed feasible.
However, this kind of opportunistic method is ultimately not the orthodox path.
Good enough for emergencies now, but not a long-term strategy.
After all, the ultimate goal of the "Mud Golden Sculpting Technique" is to forge the body, all means are merely means, and one should not put the cart before the horse.
Having practiced several times until the moon reached its zenith.
"Hoo..."
Chen Kuang let out a long breath, concentrating and withdrawing the force, the billowing sleeves gradually subsiding, and the white lotus mark between his brows receding.
Stacked Force Fifth Level is still somewhat unstable; the amount of Spiritual Qi is a hard flaw.
The Fourth Level is already quite proficient.
He estimated roughly that if he fully executed "Two Dragons Bathe the Buddha," killing an Innate can be easily done, and he might even attempt the Tower Ascension Realm.
However, he might only be able to touch the first floor; reaching several floors high is pure wishful thinking...
"Seeing a God Without Injuries" this passive ability is somewhat useless, requiring a sufficiently high-level enemy to trigger it.
But realistically, where to find so many high-realm enemies?
Chen Kuang shook his head, brushed his sleeves, his Spiritual Qi exhausted, and after concentrating for so long to control his force, fatigue welled up.
He let out a long breath, fell onto the bed, and closed his eyes to sleep.
...
The next day.
The first thing Chen Kuang did upon opening his eyes was to check his status panel.
[You have found long-lost relatives, gaining the passive ability "Wind and Tree Reliance": The more relatives you have, the higher your physical strength.]
Chen Kuang: "..."
He touched his chin, falling into deep thought.
Afterwards, he walked to the table, raised his left hand, and plucked a string on Dragon’s Gums with his right hand.
"Zing—Hiss!"
A deep blood mark appeared on Chen Kuang’s left hand, fresh blood quickly flowed out, but he circulated his Spiritual Qi, and it soon began to heal and gradually disappeared.
"Hiss..."
Chen Kuang’s eyes widened.
With Dragon’s Gums’ power, the strike was enough to sever half of his palm!
But now, it only left a blood mark!
Just four relatives nearly doubled his physical strength...
Imagine he gave birth to seventy or eighty descendants, wouldn’t he be directly invincible?
Chen Kuang was tempted but quickly suppressed his thoughts.
Setting aside how long it would take to have seventy or eighty descendants, where would he find so many women to bear them for him... to do so would risk falling into an evil path.
"Sigh."
Chen Kuang sighed, looking at the name of the passive ability, feeling a touch of emotion: "Wind and Tree Reliance... The tree desires calm but the wind doesn’t cease, the son desires to care but the parents are gone."
"This passive effect feels somewhat like having relatives guarding beside you."
"But for me, I’d rather quickly cut through the chaos."
Elixir of Longevity, Meat Ganoderma... destined to walk alone on the path of seeking the Dao.
"However, to make this passive last longer, I can find ways to sustain them, letting them cultivate for longevity."
Defying fate is somewhat difficult, even for Chen An, just relying on himself, breaking through to the Tower Ascension Realm in this lifetime is uncertain.
Chen Kuang already thought of whom to ask for such methods—
The most orthodox cultivator, the Daoist of the Mystic God Daoist Sect is right beside him?
Chen Kuang took Dragon’s Gums, opened the door intending to go to the guest room, only to bump into Shen Meinan who was about to knock.
Chen Kuang paused, seeing Shen Meinan handing him his Longevity Lock.
"My sister wants to see you, take this Longevity Lock."
Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow, took it, and asked:
"Has the Fairy asked the master previously, is there some progress now?"
The Longevity Lock trembled slightly, Shen Xingzhu spoke solemnly:
"This sword is named ’Endless.’"
"Thirteen years ago, it was forged by the Sword Lodge traitor Jie Kun at Dongting Lakefront, and blood sacrifices of ten thousand were made when the sword was born."
Chen Kuang’s pupils constricted.
Thirteen years ago, at Dongting Lakefront, that great drought that changed his destiny took ten thousand lives!
