Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Capítulo 1147: Chapter 45: The Decaying Great Tao River

No one understands the ability of the progress bar better than Wang Sheng.

It can turn the impossible into possible.

Any skill, once learned by oneself, will be recorded by the progress bar, then slowly increase in progress, constantly pushing the limits, finally transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, showcasing incredible power. Once simple planting, now can grow an Innate Spirit Root.

After tens of thousands of years, it was the first time Wang Sheng discovered a skill not recorded by the progress bar.

“Could it be because I haven’t formally started learning?”

He is currently just in a testing state.

But with the prowess of the progress bar, having already drawn the runes, it’s impossible not to record it.

After contemplating for a moment, he looked at Zhu You.

“Teacher, I have the aptitude, what should I do next?”

The aptitude for the Witch Doctor actually has a lot of room for exploration, but the most important thing now is to understand the method of learning the Witch Doctor Technique.

Zhu You saw the eagerness deliberately shown by Wang Sheng and was very satisfied with this response, saying: “Witch Doctor Technique, once you have the aptitude, you have already solved ninety percent of the problem, everything will be simple from then on.”

The Witch Doctor Technique heavily emphasizes the entry threshold.

Otherwise, only a very few people would be able to learn it.

Once past the threshold, although not literally limitless, it is smooth sailing ahead.

“Please guide me, teacher.”

Zhu You smiled, then took out a stone slab from a box beside him, similar to the previous one, it also had mysterious runes on it.

But it was somewhat different from the runes on the previous stone slab.

The runes on the previous stone slab were very fragmented, each one was an independent entity, for instance, the one he copied was just one of them.

That is to say, each rune represents a kind of function.

But now, on this stone slab, there was only one large rune, an entirety.

Zhu You placed the stone slab before Wang Sheng, saying: “This is the core of the Witch Doctor Technique, copy the rune onto your body, in the future, even without using the Blood of Witch Beasts, you can still use the Witch Doctor Technique.”

“Copy it onto the body, is there any particular reason for this, teacher?”

Zhu You shook his head: “This is the tradition passed down, as for the specific reason, I guess no one truly understands.”

Evidently, Zhu You also didn’t know why.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng naturally didn’t continue to question, instead redirecting the topic: “Teacher, to copy, what should be used to draw this rune on oneself, should it be the Blood of Witch Beasts, or can anything be used?”

“Naturally the Blood of Witch Beasts. Rest assured, the blood you’ll need is included in your merits, the tribe has already prepared the Blood of Witch Beasts you need. Once you finish drawing the runes and formally become a Witch Doctor, all the resources of the Witch Doctor will be prioritized for you… Well then, listen carefully, I’ll teach you how to draw this rune.”

Zhu You slowly revealed the method to draw it.

There are many subtleties, it’s not something that can be arbitrarily drawn.

However, even though Wang Sheng’s extraordinary ability was restricted, unable to be used, drawing runes was not a problem for him.

It didn’t take long for him to draw the initial runes on his avatar’s body.

The moment the drawing was completed, a mutation occurred.

He seemed to see a gigantic yet exceedingly frail river.

Countless black mist, malevolence permeated the river, even its ethereal state couldn’t hide its stench.

Vaguely, there were ferocious beasts wandering in the black mist.

The scene lasted only a moment.

But the original body far away in the New Land frowned.

“The scene just now was definitely not relayed back by the avatar, I directly saw it; that means drawing such a weak rune on myself actually affects the original body across time and space?”

This is something worth paying attention to.

Currently in the Starry Sky, things that can affect his original body, apart from the Starry Sky Rules, are almost nonexistent.

“Could it indeed be the Great Tao, my previous feelings were not wrong.”

When testing the so-called aptitude, he realized that the power displayed by the rune might very well be the power of a certain Great Tao.

Now it can be directly confirmed.

“Something wrong with the Great Tao we just saw…”

The Great Tao River was not unfamiliar to him, most of the time, his original body expanded its influence within the Great Tao River.

But no such river reeked of decay as the one just now.

The Great Tao should not be like this.

Even rivers like a Curse, though they appear sinister, essentially they are still grand and illustrious.

“Has something gone wrong with this Great Tao, but does the Great Tao really have issues?”

A problem with the Great Tao is almost unimaginable.

Furthermore, if there really is a problem, why can it still project its power, even showcasing power in a starry sky utterly barren of the extraordinary—he is more than ninety percent sure, the so-called Witch Doctor Technique is the manifestation of the Great Tao River’s power.

Thus—

“Teacher, have I finished the drawing, I seemed to see a peculiar scene just now, does everyone see this?”

Zhu You originally didn’t care much, but upon hearing Wang Sheng’s words, immediately showed an expression of joy: “Really, you saw a peculiar scene, it seems your aptitude is better than I imagined.”

“Is that so, teacher? I didn’t think I could solve the puzzle like this.” Wang Sheng didn’t expect that he could indeed unravel the mystery.

Zhu You did not hide anything, said: “It is said that those with high aptitude in the Witch Doctor Technique can see anomalies when first drawing the rune, those who can see anomalies have always reached significant achievements…”
