Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 21: Seeking Wisdom from a Different Mountain, After Countless Strikes, the Truth is Revealed

The stone from a different mountain can be used to attack jade, seeking enlightenment from jade can lead to Spirit Ascension.

Chen Kuang held this ancient and restrained jade in his hand, carefully reviewing the information about it in his mind, and now he understood its function.

In this world, practitioners refer to naturally formed or artificially created Law Weapons as Spiritual Treasures.

This Seeking Wisdom from a Different Mountain Jade is a Spiritual Treasure. As for its specific grade, Chen Kuang, as an inexperienced Aperture Opening Realm novice, was completely clueless.

Shen Xingzhu probably didn't think it needed any explanation either.

But Chen Kuang didn't care. He only needed to know that this Seeking Wisdom from a Different Mountain Jade was enough to protect his own life.

Seeking wisdom from a different mountain, a gentleman contemplates.

This jade is the stone from a different mountain. By engaging in discussions and contemplation, one can borrow the Divine Ability cultivation of others by placing the jade in their mouth and immersing it in the Golden Essence Jade Liquid while silently reciting the incantation.

However, since this is a gentleman's matter, it naturally cannot be done without consent.

To borrow cultivation, one must obtain the other person's permission.

And within this jade, there is an imprint of Shen Xingzhu's Primordial Spirit, which serves as permission.

This is the life-saving method she left for Chen Kuang.

It is probably also her maximum compromise... If Chen Kuang wants her help with something else, it might be difficult.

Chen Kuang caressed the Spirit Ascension jade in his hand, his expression becoming somewhat strange for a moment. A provocative thought emerged in his mind.

Since this originally belonged to Shen Xingzhu, could she have used it in the same way?

"No, she probably didn't."

Chen Kuang shook his head, denying his own speculation, muttering to himself:

"She's already a Great Grandmaster, and she must have gone through countless trials and tribulations. Why would she need something like borrowing external power?"

Ordinary people believe that with the help of favorable conditions, they can achieve great success. But extraordinary talents like Shen Xingzhu are definitely not inferior to favorable conditions and can directly reach the highest realms.

Unfortunately, today he encountered a damn bastard.

Just a slip of the tongue, and his Dao heart was shattered, causing him to fall heavily.

Chen Kuang restrained his smile, his gaze becoming solemn.

Now is not the time to be complacent. The slim chance he gained only increased his chances of escaping alive. His situation is still extremely dangerous, like walking on thin ice.

Because the greatest threat is not on the ground, but in the vast starry sky!

If that Saint descends, this jade alone won't be able to protect him.

He sighed deeply.

It's really... too difficult.

Starting as an ordinary person in a world of martial arts is already hellish difficulty, and he directly encountered the final boss in the beginner's village.

Although there is now a glimmer of hope, this thread of hope is like a spider's silk, which could easily break if not careful.

Today, Shen Xingzhu being restrained by him has become the best example to constantly remind him.

In this world where martial prowess is terrifyingly high, some intangible concepts can also lead to death!

Even someone like Shen Xingzhu, who is currently a dust-free Great Grandmaster and a half-step upper three grades genius, could fall into the Myriad Tribulations due to a momentary lapse of judgment.

Not to mention Chen Kuang, a rookie who only started cultivating at the age of nineteen.

After escaping, he must find a place to quietly hide...

Chen Kuang secretly thought to himself. After all, he has a status bar. Even if he does small tasks the size of sesame seeds and mung beans every day, he can still gain new passive abilities.

I wonder what calculations that old bastard Huo Hengxuan is making.

Before, Chen Kuang tried to indirectly inquire, but Huo Hengxuan only gave him a number after being annoyed.

Three.

As for whether it's three days, three people, or a sarcastic response to him being a weakling, it's hard to say.

But one thing is for sure, Chen Kuang alone cannot escape.

So he can only wait for Huo Hengxuan to take action.

Looking around, Chu Wenruo and Huo Hengxuan still showed no signs of movement. Chen Kuang shook his head and decided to start cultivating on his own.

Spiritual energy can be cultivated through the Embryonic Breathing Technique, but the physical body relies on the Mud Embryo Golden Sculpture Technique.

Moreover, the latter is also a Martial Dao technique, with each corresponding to a move. Once proficient, the physical body becomes indestructible, capable of opening mountains and splitting rocks with every movement, resonating with gold and jade, and roaring like thunderous tigers and leopards.

Chen Kuang has the "Martial Arts Prodigy" passive ability, and now he has just obtained the second phase, "White Lotus Supports Life," with a faint lotus mark appearing between his eyebrows.

Only when this lotus mark fully forms will he truly succeed.

When the attack comes, the tyrannical force will bloom like a lotus flower, enough to instantly shatter the enemy into pieces.

Extremely brutal.

As for the first form, "Descension from Tushita Heaven," it is actually a preparatory move that gathers power.

It accumulates three layers of force in a relaxed posture, while simultaneously paralyzing the enemy. If the second form is added at this moment, the effect will undoubtedly be outstanding.

Chen Kuang was initially surprised because this clearly belonged to the Buddhist Gate technique, but the move was unexpectedly fierce and ruthless.

However, later on, he recalled Huo Hengxuan's experience and realized the true essence of this technique.

Saving all sentient beings is the Buddha's task, and as a disciple of the Buddhist Gate, his natural mission is to send them to meet the Buddha...

One can only say that his Buddha nature is profound.

If the Buddha knew, he would surely laugh along.

But what Chen Kuang was even more curious about was Huo Hengxuan's personal experience.

Huo Hengxuan, the famous killer, whose hands were stained with the lives of at least hundreds of thousands, was indeed an authentic disciple of the Buddhist Gate!

Previously, he thought that this old bastard might have obtained this technique from some deceased soul.

But he never expected that he himself was the true disciple of the Buddhist Gate.

"You don't need to rush to cultivate the second form. With your talent, comprehension is not difficult. The difficult part is patiently honing it. Only through repeated trials can you reveal the jade within the stone."

A hoarse and old voice came from beside, interrupting Chen Kuang's thoughts.

"But spend more time on the first form. Until now, I have realized that the combined power of the next seven forms is not worth a single bit compared to the first form."

"You don't have to repeat the mistakes of those who came before you."

Huo Hengxuan paused, his gaze suddenly becoming bitter.

"Back then... if I hadn't been greedy for power and rushed forward, perhaps the outcome would have been very different."

Back then?

Chen Kuang was taken aback, sensing a hint of gossip, and curiously turned to look at the despondent old man.

But unfortunately, Huo Hengxuan didn't continue.

He changed the subject, his gaze becoming sharp, and asked, "Kid, who just came?"

Chen Kuang was about to answer but suddenly frowned, looking at Huo Hengxuan in confusion.

Wait... the black-armored guard is still watching!

Why is this old bastard suddenly revealing everything?

His heart skipped a beat.

Since Huo Hengxuan spoke earlier, he didn't bother to conceal anything, not even about Chen Kuang's cultivation.

But before, in order to avoid the surveillance of the black-armored guard, he wouldn't even talk to Chen Kuang casually!

Unless...

Chen Kuang's breath hitched.

The black-armored guard no longer needs to be cautious!

Seeing Chen Kuang's slight change in expression, Huo Hengxuan grinned, and a cold light flickered in his bloodshot eyes.

"From this moment on, there's no need to play any tricks."

...

"Immortal Master Shen, it's late at night. Why are you still outside?"

It was the black-armored guard named Qingcuo.

"I was observing the stars at night and sensed some changes in the celestial patterns. Feeling restless, I came out to clear my mind."

Shen Xingzhu looked at the black-armored guard in front of her and said calmly, "Has General Li returned?"

Qingcuo nodded, "He has already returned and is in the camp. Someone in the army has made a mistake, and he is furious."

Shen Xingzhu remained silent. As she passed by Qingcuo, she suddenly stopped.

"I remember... there were supposed to be two black-armored guards responsible for guarding the prison. Where is the other person?"

"Immortal Master Shen has a good memory."

Qingcuo looked at the black-clad woman in front of him and calmly said, "That person took advantage of General Li's absence and, as a cultivator, disregarded military discipline and took the opportunity to abduct people from the mortal realm."

"If it hadn't been reported, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
