I Cheated While Cultivating

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Run Away and Get Help from Home

Half a moment later.

“Why don’t you believe? Can’t you feel the throbbing of the secret technique you’ve been practicing?” said the will within the golden light.

He was referring to the “Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law.”

“Which secret technique are you referring to?” Zhou Heng didn’t answer but instead countered with a question.

“…” The golden light fell silent once again.

How many secret techniques could a Seventh Rank Warrior possibly have?

Under normal circumstances, a Seventh Rank Warrior who could comprehend a Fourth Rank secret technique was already considered outstanding among peers.

Nevertheless, the golden light spoke gravely, “The Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law, with your current cultivation realm, is extremely difficult to comprehend. I can help you.”

“It shouldn’t be difficult. According to my estimate, I should be able to learn it in at most a month,” Zhou Heng feigned confusion and said, “Is this what you call a great opportunity?”

“…” The golden light was again at a loss for words.

A Seventh Rank Warrior learning a Fourth Rank secret technique in a month, are you dreaming?

He suddenly regretted that he had appeared as soon as he sensed the aura of the Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law.

This kid with fixed aptitude turned out to be such an anomaly!

“No more to say? That’s all?” Zhou Heng laughed lightly twice, and at the same time, he was ready to employ the Spiritual Golden Light Escape Skill to flee at any moment, “You don’t really think that by merely allowing me to learn a Fourth Rank secret technique, you can tempt me, do you?”

The reason he hadn’t fled immediately and was still wasting time here was that he had discovered that as long as he watched this golden light emerging from the mural, his proficiency in the Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law would increase.

“You are watching ‘Yang Fan’ performing the martial arts ‘Solar Divine Light Law’ [Heavenly Third Rank], and you can’t help but gain deeper insight into the sun’s Dao. Your understanding of the ‘Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law’ [Absolute Fourth Rank] deepens, proficiency +0.0003.”

…

…

In such a situation, one should definitely watch for as long as possible.

Besides, judging from the performance of this golden light, the “person” inside the mural most likely couldn’t exert much power.

At most, they had the power of a single strike.

Otherwise, there would be no need for such verbal seduction.

They would simply have pulled him inside.

Therefore, Zhou Heng was not panicked at all.

“Celestial Divine Weapons, along with my Cave Sky world, everything I’ve learned in my life, all experiences, all the accumulations—you can inherit them all,” another will emerged from the golden light, accompanied by a deep sigh, “Believe me, I mean no harm.”

“Is there such a good thing?” Zhou Heng looked skeptical.

“Young man, are you interested in listening to a story?” the will in the golden light sounded increasingly desolate, evoking pity.

“No.” Zhou Heng shook his head, saying, “If I want to hear stories, wouldn’t it be better to listen to a storyteller at the teahouse?”

“You?!” The golden light was once again rendered speechless, and it took a while before it spoke again: “I was originally a Celestial Man whose Primordial Spirit resided in the void, and I have deep connections with the Solar Divine Palace. Seeing that you possess a secret technique of the Solar Divine Palace, I assumed…”

Just then, the golden light suddenly intensified, and a fierce heat came upon him, about to envelop Zhou Heng completely. This time the golden light’s assault was swift, far surpassing the initial one.

So quick that even a Sect Fifth Rank in this place might not be able to escape, let alone Zhou Heng at his current level.

Too fast!

Indeed too fast!

However, at the instant the golden light assaulted him, a more brilliant golden radiance lit up on Zhou Heng’s body. Following the ley lines of the earth and mountains, in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the foot of Taihua Mount a million miles away.

Transcendental Golden Light Technique!

Zhou Heng had already used his abnormally strong spiritual power to give himself a suggestion that as soon as that golden light began to approach him rapidly, he would immediately use the Transcendental Golden Light Technique.

This was a speed that surpassed reaction time.

It was to prevent him from being captured by the golden light due to an inability to react in time, rendering him unable to escape.

“Yang Fan is quite closely related to the Solar Divine Palace, and Celestial Men… hmm, all of the inner seats of the Five Emperors have returned to the Purple Tenuity Palace, and the Celestial Men who had previously gone to the West Wasteland have mostly returned as well.”

Zhou Heng’s gaze turned towards the sky above Taihua Mount, preparing to find his nominal senior brother, the current number one on the Celestial List, the head of Pure Yang Palace, “Residing True Yang” Yan Shouyi.

…

Inside a large estate in Huangtong Mansion City.

The golden light halted midair, its will shocked beyond measure, momentarily unable to comprehend how a minor Seventh Rank Warrior could wield such a formidable escape technique.

“What was that just now? The speed was too fast; even Celestial Man escape methods are no better than that. Is it some kind of secret treasure? But when did the Solar Divine Palace start equipping Seventh Rank Warriors with treasures of such caliber?”

Even now, the will within the golden light still believed that Zhou Heng was a disciple of the Solar Divine Palace.

Otherwise, how could he have learned the “Golden Crow Slaughter God Great Law”?

“Damn it, that strike just now exhausted the accumulation of the last eighty years. Now I have to start accumulating all over again.”

The will within the golden light was incredibly irate. “That kid was exceptionally talented, but there was something off with his head. Faced with a major opportunity to inherit the will of a Celestial Man, he actually refused.”

In fact, he hadn’t told a single lie just now; everything was true.

However, to inherit the will of a Celestial Man, in other words, was to be possessed by him.

Once possessed by him, one would naturally be able to inherit his Celestial Man Cave Sky, Divine Weapons, as well as experiences and accumulations, etc.

“Now that he’s escaped, I can’t rule out the possibility that he will report this matter to his elders. I should change locations,” thought the rational golden light, planning to gather its Tao power and leave this place.

Yet, it wasn’t particularly in a hurry.

In its opinion, according to the rules of the Solar Divine Palace, a Seventh Rank Warrior was unlikely to meet the high-level Sect members of the Celestial Man Realm easily.

And without the capability of a Celestial Man, reaching this place quickly was nearly impossible.

“That kid possesses a secret treasure of the Celestial Man escape method; what if he has other unused secret treasures?” The will within the golden light quickly considered another possibility and decided it was best to leave as soon as possible and not waste any more time.

However, just as it started to gather its Tao power, it suddenly felt a tremendous force of resistance, pulling at it, preventing it from leaving the stele.

It was as if an invisible hand were hiding in the shadows, using an unfathomable technique to reinforce the seals upon the stele, trapping it within and making it impossible to leave.

“Which high and mighty being is this?!” exclaimed the will within the golden light, filled with shock and uncertainty.

The sealing that had allowed it to hide within the stele was the work of a Tao Lord. Who could silently and invisibly reinforce it?

Even the resurrection of a Middle Ancient Rule Saint could be no more impressive.

But before it could find the person who had reinforced the seal, it felt a warm and comforting breath “face” it.

A pure golden light of extreme purity descended out of nowhere to this place.

That very kid who had used the Celestial Man escape method to run away was now walking out from the golden light in a casual manner, with a relaxed expression and not a hint of panic.

“You’ve returned so soon?” The will within the golden light was first stunned, then saw a man of unremarkable appearance, exuding a strong scholarly aura, walk out from the golden light, and it was immediately filled with utter horror.

“Yan, Yan, Yan Shouyi??!!”

How did a disciple of the Solar Divine Palace manage to invite Yan Shouyi over?

Could it be that in just over a hundred years, the Solar Divine Palace had been destroyed by Pure Yang Palace??
