Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 42: Cultivating the Great Dragon's Image Technique

"Fang Zhuo left Ocean Cloud City and headed southwest!"

"Is it related to me?" Yang Ning asked.

"Yes!" Deep Blue opened a video and played the footage of Fang Zhuo before leaving.

["Yang Ning!"

"To be able to invent such a bow, as well as the plow, waterwheel, catapult, horseshoes, saddle, and steel-making method!"

"But..."

"He is a person on Wei Daocheng's ship!"

"Perhaps he is skilled in invention and creation, but so what? Spirit Weapons and Mortal Weapons are different, not to mention Dao Weapons. It takes decades or even centuries of effort for a new Dao Weapon to be developed by a sect."]

Yang Ning leaned back on the sofa, replaying the footage repeatedly, studying Fang Zhuo's tone and expression in a meticulous manner.

"Is this a pity? Why did he say that I am a person on Wei Daocheng's ship? Does he have a grudge against Wei Daocheng? Or is it true that Lin Tianheng ordered to kill us?"

"The last sentence should be an attempt to convince himself, but it was not successful, so he left Ocean Cloud City." Yang Ning looked at the conflict on Fang Zhuo's face, a natural and sincere expression.

Clearly, he had no say in Lin Tianheng's place, but he didn't want to sit back and watch me die under Lin Tianheng's plan. So he should have gone to seek reinforcements. Southwest direction, isn't that where Extreme Eternal Sect is located?

"Fang Zhuo, Qi Refining Fourth Layer. According to Extreme Eternal's education system, he should have a master at Qi Refining Fifth Layer or above. If this person can easily suppress Lin Tianheng, he wouldn't be so conflicted. So his master should have some ability, but not as powerful as Lin Tianheng, at most on par with Lin Tianheng's strength!"

"What will be the result if he goes to Extreme Eternal Sect?"

"On the positive side, his master will be moved by Fang Zhuo and offend Lin Tianheng to save me. But this is not wise, after all, I am just a Second Layer physical cultivator, a minor character."

"On the moderate side, his master does see potential in me, but he won't offend Lin Tianheng for my sake. So he will find a roundabout way to save me, which is more reliable."

"On the worst side, Fang Zhuo completely fails to move his master and watches me die in Lin Tianheng's plan. This probability is also very low. Fang Zhuo obviously knows what kind of character his master is. If he is indifferent and ruthless, he wouldn't seek help!"

"Why not seek help from the sect? Like the Law Enforcement Department?" Deep Blue asked.

"Because this is not a world governed by the rule of law! Even if there is such a department, it is just for show," Yang Ning said.

Tapping the table, Yang Ning sighed, "But no matter which scenario it is, as long as it involves high-level figures, my name is destined to be exposed! It seems that the plan needs to change!"

"How will it change?" Deep Blue asked.

"Optimize the structure of Kun-12, upgrading it from a tank made by primitive methods to a tank made in a home workshop!"

Deep Blue was speechless. What's the difference?

"Don't underestimate this change. From the birth of tanks to World War II, it took a total of 20 years, and that was on Earth, which had experienced the Second Industrial Revolution. In this world, this small change is enough to exhaust the efforts of a generation! Placed on me, it can elevate my reputation as a genius in refining tools to that of a monstrous genius!"

Deep Blue didn't fully understand human nature and couldn't grasp the difference between a genius and a monstrous genius, but he was diligent in his work and immediately operated various devices to upgrade the tank.

After this upgrade, the tank's operations would be more precise, such as acceleration, deceleration, steering, and aiming, which would be improved from relying on intuition to being accurate to the millimeter.

Meanwhile, Yang Ning began his cultivation life.

After more than a month of collecting large amounts of data, he had translated another portion of the "Great Dragon's Image Technique."

Now it was:

Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique [11%]

Heavenly Dragon's Apocalyptic Sound [22%]

White Dragon's Absorption Method [9%]

Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body [15%]

Azure Emperor's World-Shaking Fist [28%]

Crimson Dragon's Crimson Cloud Force [3%]

Mysterious Dark Free Roaming [14%].

These seven peerless Divine Abilities all involve the cultivation of the Physical Body Realm.

In the Spirit Realm, Yang Ning can simultaneously cultivate all seven Divine Abilities. However, due to time constraints, the need for secrecy, and the need to counter Qi Heaven's Word Magic, he can only choose to cultivate the Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique, Heavenly Dragon's Apocalyptic Sound, White Dragon's Absorption Method, and Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body in reality.

The purpose of the Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique refers to observation, hope, and remote sacrifice.

These three meanings also represent the three main functions of the Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique.

First: observing the qi of all things in the world, including vitality, fortune, destiny, loyalty, luck, spiritual energy, essence, and so on, even including ominous qi.

Second: manipulating the observed qi. Ordinary qi can be manipulated at a low level, but special qi requires a higher level of cultivation. For example, Yang Ning has not yet figured out how to manipulate ominous qi.

Third: utilizing qi from distant sources, such as the qi of the sun, moon, and stars, through sacrificial methods. This can be used for body tempering as well as for combat.

As for the Physical Body Realm, the Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique uses special methods to refine the blood and enhance the vision, observation ability, dynamic vision, and observation range of the eyes, in combination with the effects of medicine.

After practicing for only a few days, Yang Ning already feels that the world he can see with his eyes has become much more colorful. This means that he has become much more sensitive to colors, and he can even perceive light that was originally outside his observation range, such as infrared and ultraviolet light.

The White Dragon's Absorption Method can devour all things and transform them into nourishment for oneself. It can be considered the ultimate version of alchemy and culinary arts. When used in conjunction with the Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique, it can directly devour spiritual energy, greatly increasing the efficiency of cultivation.

Although Yang Ning cannot currently see spiritual energy, he can already sustain himself by using this technique to consume the wind and dew.

If his cultivation level were higher, he could probably even go without eating.

Another benefit of practicing this technique is that his appetite has greatly decreased.

Intelligent people can judge a person's cultivation level based on their appetite. In the past, no one paid attention to Yang Ning's eating habits, but now that he has become famous, someone might start paying attention to how much he eats.

With the White Dragon's Absorption Method, Yang Ning eats about the same amount as someone at the Second Layer of the Physical Body Realm, but the actual energy he gains is enough to sustain normal cultivation at the Fifth Layer of the Physical Body Realm.

The Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body is a body refining technique that involves a special incantation called the Dao Scripture.

Each of the seven peerless Divine Abilities involves the Dao Scripture, but only the Great Dragon's Image Technique and the Crimson Dragon's Crimson Cloud Force in the Physical Body Realm use it.

When refining the body using the blood and energy field, silently reciting the Dao Scripture in one's heart will unconsciously change the way the blood and energy field is tempered, thereby evolving an ordinary dragon body into the Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body.

The Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body is a supreme and noble body that avoids all evil and is invulnerable to all laws. It possesses the ability to withstand calamities and remain pure.

Originally, Yang Ning did not plan to start reciting the Dao Scripture in the Physical Body Realm, as it is meant for the Dragon Race and he was unsure if there would be any problems reciting it as a human.

However, among the seven Divine Abilities in his hands, only this one can counter Qi Heaven's Word Magic, so he has no choice but to learn it.

As for the Heavenly Dragon's Apocalyptic Sound, it was the Divine Ability that Yang Ning mastered earliest because of its usefulness in communication.

However, as the translation progressed, Yang Ning discovered that the Heavenly Dragon's Apocalyptic Sound can not only be used for communication, but also for body tempering, healing, detoxification, calming the mind, and enlightenment!

He can even play music to relax his mind while practicing!

At present, it has become the Dao Technique that Yang Ning uses the most frequently!
