Chapter 1117: Chapter 1118: The Ten Paths of the Heavens and the Ten Paths of the Netherworld
All around, silence reigned, not a sound from the crows and sparrows could be heard.
Had this elder of the Sea Clan been instantly killed? And in such a ludicrous way?
The old man was merely stretching his muscles and bones, preparing to get into the right stance before throwing a punch, yet it was just a preparatory gesture for stretching that blew up this Semi-Saint level expert of the Sea Clan?
What kind of cultivation level was this, what kind of physical strength?
And they sensed it, just as he had said, he didn’t utilize a trace of his cultivation level, relying solely on Physical Strength. With his robust physique stretching out, he moved like a dragon and looked like a tiger, assaulting everyone’s eyes.
In terms of physical strength, the Demon Race is far superior to the human race, let alone the Sea Clan, one of the great clans. A precious body could even be compared to divine weapons and sharp blades. The human race is known for wisdom but not for strength, and the weakness of their physical bodies has long been common knowledge in the Cultivation World. However, the strength displayed by this old man had shaken their long-held beliefs.
Mere physical gestures were all it took for him to destroy a Semi-Saint level expert of the Sea Clan without using any cultivation. Could humans really achieve such a level?
Who exactly was this senior?
“Dammit!”
“I wasn’t even ready yet, and you went and died on me?”
“The Sea Clan seems a bit weak, indeed not as formidable as the past generations!”
Yitilou was stunned for a moment, cursing under his breath. He hadn’t taken action in many years, and he had wanted to leave a perfect impression for his first strike after all this time. The fact that his opponent was gone before he could even get into position was truly vexing.
“Anyway, that’s pretty much what it is. The human body is also a treasure trove, just waiting for you all to explore.”
With that, Yitilou tossed these words out, waved his hand, and collected all the scattered resources and treasures on the ground into his bag. Then, satisfied, he walked down from the arena gracefully. Not only did he make a show earlier, but he also gathered some resources, and later, he could even go to Li Xiaobai to cash these in for Huazi—a triple win, and he felt very pleased.
“This is a human powerhouse!”
“Too strong, within the human race there are still old powerful figures who temper their bodies, unheard of!”
“Speaking of which, which Sect does this senior belong to? I really want to visit and pay my respects in person!”
Everyone looked shocked, their faces filled with reverence. This was a true powerhouse, a grandmaster, easily accomplishing what their Sect Masters couldn’t, showing his extraordinary strength.
“Hidden Immortal Sect!”
“Definitely from a Hidden Immortal Sect!”
“Old man’s guess is not wrong. Our disciples are indeed related to some Hidden Immortal Sect, and this elder who suddenly appeared must be a powerful figure from that Hidden Immortal Sect. He was protecting Lin Yin just now!”
The Elder of the Blood Demon Sect said excitedly, muttering to himself.
It had to be this way, otherwise, why would a senior with no ties to Lin Yin stop his action and step up to powerfully annihilate that elder of the Sea Clan?
“Yes, could this be the force behind the Villian’s Guild?”
“Elder Blood’s guess is spot on, our disciples indeed all come from the same mysterious force!”
“Such top geniuses gathered together, inconvenient to move around the world under the banner of Hidden Immortal Sects, thus blending into the world benefits us!”
“I heard that a few of our disciples are followers from the Earth Spirit Realm, could it be that the reach of that Hidden Immortal Sect has already extended into the Earth Spirit Realm?”
“What’s so surprising about that? Didn’t that junior cultivator, Li Xiaobai who caused a stir a while ago, just close all the paths from the Central Origin Realm to the Earth Spirit Realm? Compared to that, it’s not strange for the Hidden Immortal Sect to control a sacrificial altar path. Maybe they have some connection with Li Xiaobai too!”
Several Elders from the Super Sects talked excitedly, one after another. They didn’t care that their Disciples were also affiliated with another Sect; on the contrary, they took pride in it!
This meant that their Sects had gained strong support, having clung onto a powerful thigh. After this event, they would definitely report it to their respective Sect Masters, urging their Sects to pay serious attention.
…
“Old Lou’s cultivation has grown rather than diminished, the Ten Paths of the Heavens has become even more refined.”
Below the stage, Yan Zuzi stroked his chin and chuckled, as if admiring a piece of art.
“May I ask senior, what is the Ten Paths of the Heavens?”
Li Xiaobai asked, with his fellow Brothers and Sisters also instinctively pricking up their ears. This Cultivation Technique was quite fierce. It shouldn’t have been associated with nameless individuals, yet they had never heard of it—it was very mysterious.
“Hehehe, actually, the name was chosen at random. When Old Lou created this Cultivation Technique, he divided it into ten realms. With each advancement, one’s physical body becomes more formidable. The Ten Paths of the Heavens’ cultivation method is simple, and the effects are blunt and straightforward—just continuously consume Magic Treasures to refine one’s body, and you will become stronger.”
“Strictly speaking, this Cultivation Technique is not a body refining art, but it treats the body as a Magic Treasure to refine, turning the body into an extremely pure human-shaped Magic Treasure! Back then, he was invincible in battle with this technique and cleaned up various Sects, rapidly advancing to the great accomplishment stage.”
“Just now, he devoured that Semi-Saint’s Magic Treasure using this technique. Old Lou has now trained his body to perfection, even down to the hair. If you could get one hair from him and refine it a little, you’d be invincible among your peers!”
Yan Zuzi explained.
“Hiss!”
“Refining one’s own body to turn it into a Magic Treasure?”
Everyone felt this was somewhat inconceivable.
A body is just a body, how could it be transformed into a Magic Treasure? Moreover, the notion of creating one’s own Cultivation Technique is quite startling; throughout history, those capable of inventing a method of cultivation have all been geniuses of their era, leaving a bold stroke in the annals of history.
“So to speak, has Senior Yitilou’s physical body become invincible?”
“What can harm him if he can swallow Magic Treasures?”
Li Xiaobai was shocked. Even he, a person with the System, did not possess such a skill!
He too could consume Magic Treasures and convert them into Attribute Points, but the prerequisite was that they had to be bearable. For Yitilou to single-handedly develop such an unreasonable Cultivation Technique was indeed unbelievable.
“Invincible?”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
“Who dares to claim invincibility before me?”
“It was precisely to counter Old Lou’s eccentric techniques that I created the Ten Paths of Netherworld. I truly am the most intelligent cultivator of the millennium; a mere three years after the Ten Paths of the Heavens was introduced, I found a strategy to counter it.”
When speaking of invincibility, Yan Zuzi wore a look of utter pride on his face.
“May I ask, Senior, what kind of Cultivation Technique is the Ten Paths of Netherworld? Could it be the nemesis of the Ten Paths of the Heavens?”
Liu Jinshui asked respectfully from the side.
“My Cultivation Technique perfectly restrains the Ten Paths of the Heavens. The Ten Paths of Netherworld is a technique for refining Magic Treasures. If someone cultivates the Ten Paths of the Heavens and transforms themselves into a human-shaped Magic Treasure, they can use the Ten Paths of Netherworld to refine them a second time, erasing their spiritual intelligence and turning them into my puppets. Many formidable cultivators who once dominated an era were easily subjugated by me in this way!”
Yan Zuzi said with a grin, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present. This old man’s technique seemed even more sinister, didn’t it? Wouldn’t that mean any cultivator who practiced the Ten Paths of the Heavens could be refined into a puppet at any time?
“Does that mean, if Senior wishes, you could turn Senior Yitilou into a puppet?”
Li Xiaobai asked with some confusion. If this technique was so powerful, couldn’t they spread the Ten Paths of the Heavens while keeping the Ten Paths of Netherworld a secret, thus trapping others indefinitely?
“If it were the past, I could refine him with just a thought, but now it’s impossible. That old thing somehow got his hands on the practice of Ten Paths of Netherworld and cultivated it to the tenth layer. He then refined himself a second time, making himself completely immune to the Ten Paths of Netherworld cast by others, remedying the only deadly flaw of the Ten Paths of the Heavens!”
“It must be said, sometimes Old Lou does have some clever tricks up his sleeve!”
Yan Zuzi sighed, seeming somewhat regretful.
The others were speechless. Did the old generation of masters like to play this way, just to backstab each other, creating such awe-inspiring and astonishing Cultivation Techniques?
“Would you folks like to learn the Ten Paths of the Heavens and the Ten Paths of Netherworld? One one zero, six one zero, six three nine three, this is where the Cui Geng Fish army gathers, here at Penguin!”
…
“A master, truly a formidable master!”
On the pillar, the Island Master’s pupils contracted. With just this one exchange, she had judged that the old man’s physical strength was above her own. Even if she transformed into a dragon, she could not compete with the old man’s physical strength.
“This round, the Sea Clan has lost!”
“Furthermore, because this Sea Clan Elder rudely intruded onto the arena and acted wildly, all Sea Clan cultivators present today are disqualified from ascending the stage. The remaining arena competitions will continue.”
The Island Master spoke calmly, ostensibly reprimanding the Sea Clan cultivators for their misconduct and giving them a slight warning. In reality, she was taking the opportunity to protect the few remaining talents of the Sea Clan.
If they continued to compete in the arena, she feared that the Sea Clan would be utterly decimated today, with none surviving to return. In that case, Ice Dragon Island would face pressure from the Sea Clan.
She did not wish to be the scapegoat, better to preserve the lives of these few.
The audience understood her intention and said nothing more. Hearing these words, the hearts of the Sea Clan elites were relieved, and the tension in their minds eased. Their legs grew weak and they collapsed on the ground, unable to help it. Their leading Elder had just been blown apart before their very eyes, filling them with immeasurable fear.
With their backer gone, weren’t the remaining talents at the mercy of others?
Their formerly unbridled pride dissipated, and as they recalled their previous arrogant words, belittling everything, a cold sweat broke out. If someone with a grudge remembered their words, would they even be able to leave this island?
“Many thanks to the Island Master for not dwelling on past mistakes!”
“Indeed, it was my Sea Clan who spoke out of turn earlier, disrupting everyone’s competition. We deeply apologize for this and will now take our Sea Clan forces back home. In the future, we will certainly bring generous gifts to personally thank you!”
“Farewell!”
A slightly older Sea Clan youth steadied his heart, clasped his fists, and spoke loudly. He had originally been scheduled to compete, but it was the Sea Clan Elder who had seized his Token and forcibly took to the stage. He also felt somewhat displeased, and now that the Elder was dead, he had little feeling. After thanking the Island Master, he led the remaining talents away.
High above in the stands, an Elder of the Blood Demon Sect squinted, watching the direction in which the few were leaving. He subtly beckoned, and a servant approached, saying, “What would you have me do, sir?”
The Blood Elder tapped his fingertips lightly, “Kill them. Use the Frost Qi, make it look clean, as if Ice Dragon Island did the deed.”
The servant nodded, “Understood.”
