"Sect Master is rejuvenating!"
Everyone seemed to gape in awe.
"This is defying the heavens!"
Long Aotian couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
He had never thought that such an outrageous thing could happen in this world.
In his understanding, even the top healing Soul Masters on the Soul Land didn't have this ability.
Otherwise, that top powerhouse from Shrek Academy wouldn't have been nearing the end of his life.
"Haha, this is a great thing, a great thing indeed!"
"Exactly, Sect Master's strength might even improve in the future!"
Chen Lv, Chen Yu, Wang Yanfeng, and others were also overjoyed.
Youth implies potential.
Doesn't this mean that there's hope for our Sect Master to achieve even greater glory in the future?
"Hahahaha."
"Who would have thought that I would experience rejuvenation one day?"
At this moment, the laughter of Poison Not Dead spread across the training ground above.
Following that, he slowly descended from mid-air and arrived in front of everyone.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Poison Not Dead looked at Qin Xiao with a complex expression, saying, "I never thought that I would have a chance at rebirth. Qin Xiao, I really ought to thank you."
"Looking back now, bringing you away from that place in the Sun-Moon Empire was indeed the right choice."
His expression seemed a bit dazed.
Initially, when he decided to bring Qin Xiao here, he just wanted to recruit a talented genius for the sect.
After seeing Qin Xiao, he felt that this lad could become the heir to the Body Sect, even taking over Long Aotian's position.
He was already quite surprised at that time.
But now...
Qin Xiao brought him another surprise.
This not only saved the future of the sect but saved him as well.
Not to mention, his body had greatly strengthened by awakening just one Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Emperor Particle, extending his life by at least twenty to thirty years.
Of course.
That was without achieving full awakening yet.
He felt that the awakened particle was probably equivalent to just one percent of Emperor Sky's power.
The day when the figure of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon completely materializes into reality, that's when he fully possesses the power of Emperor Sky.
At that time, his realm will also improve, reaching the Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank.
"..."
Qin Xiao said, "Then you're getting happy too soon. Perhaps because of me, the Body Sect will stand against all the major forces on the Soul Land."
Poison Not Dead gave a grin, "Do you think I care?"
"You should know that the Body Sect has almost already been opposing all the major forces in the Soul Land. It's made enemies with Shrek Academy, enemies with Sun-Moon Empire, and among the three great empires, only the Heavenly Soul Empire doesn't oppose the Body Sect. Xingluo and Dou Spirit are also guarding against us like thieves."
"How much worse could the situation you mentioned be?" Poison Not Dead counter-asked.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao nodded, "You're not wrong, you're really not wrong."
Looking at it this way, it seems that the Body Sect doesn't really have any friends left.
Standing against the Soul Land isn't much different.
"In that case, there's not much I can say."
Qin Xiao spread his hands.
Moreover, having the support of a superpower like Poison Not Dead was indeed very beneficial to him.
"By the way, I have a suggestion, whether you listen or not is up to you."
Qin Xiao suddenly remembered something.
If the Body Sect was determined to support him, then they were practically one of his own.
He still did not wish to see the Sun-Moon Empire annihilate the Heavenly Soul Empire, where the Body Sect was located, in the future.
"What are you talking about?"
Poison Not Dead said, "Let me hear it first."
Qin Xiao said, "Shrek Academy used to be like a Pillar of Heaven, deterring the Sun-Moon Empire and controlling the command rights over many forces on the Soul Land. But now, this Pillar of Heaven has collapsed, and it's very likely that the Sun-Moon Empire will take action. Moreover, the power accumulated by the Sun-Moon Empire over the years is also very formidable."
"And since the Heavenly Soul Empire borders this area, if a war really breaks out in the future, the Heavenly Soul Empire will definitely bear the brunt of it."
After listening to these words, Poison Not Dead nodded heavily, "You make sense, I will arrange for someone to inform the Heavenly Soul Empire to increase their defensive forces right away."
"Good, then if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Been busy all day, I am a bit tired," Qin Xiao planned to slip away.
"You kid, are just too lazy..." Poison Not Dead shook his head but didn't stop him.
"Alright, you few rascals should also go do whatever you need to," he said, waving his hand dismissively at the eagerly waiting Chen Yu, Chen Lv, and the others.
"Wait, Long Aotian, stay behind."
He immediately called out to Long Aotian.
Long Aotian, of course, had no reason to refuse the Sect Master's order and stayed.
"Sect Master, may I ask for your instructions?"
"Actually, it's nothing much..." Poison Not Dead looked deeply into Long Aotian's eyes, "Starting from tomorrow, you will follow me to practice. As soon as you get up in the morning, come straight to me."
"Ah?" Long Aotian's eyes widened.
Poison Not Dead patted Long Aotian's shoulder, "Don't be surprised, haven't I made myself clear? Your ability to have Qin Xiao teach you Divine Elephant Imprisoning Strength proves that your talent is quite exceptional, but you are still too young."
"Experience, cultivation level, realm, none are sufficient, which is why you were unable to comprehend the skill that Qin Xiao spoke of.
But I believe that if I teach you, things might be much better."
Long Aotian was immediately moved, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Thank you, Sect Master, for your guidance, should I kowtow to you?"
He was touched to his core.
Especially after witnessing Chen Yu, Chen Lv, Wang Yanfeng, Gu Tong, and the others all having some sort of realization, he couldn't help doubting himself.
Remember, he was once the Body Sect's top talent.
Now it seemed like everyone was stronger than him?
This was a significant blow to him.
"No need for that."
Seeing Long Aotian about to kneel, Poison Not Dead immediately stopped him with his strong soul power, "I see you're under a lot of pressure, kid. Don't stress yourself out too much, go back and rest well, everything will be better tomorrow."
Gently patting Long Aotian's shoulder, Poison Not Dead also channeled a strand of soul power into Long Aotian's body to soothe his state.
Indeed, it had a significant effect.
Long Aotian's expression gradually became calm.
"Sect Master, then I will take my leave."
"Go ahead."
...
After Long Aotian left, Poison Not Dead waved to Jinpeng, "Old Jin, call everyone over."
His voice was soft, yet it carried very far.
Seeing that matters had been almost settled, Jinpeng said to the dozen or so figures behind him, "Follow me."
Unquestionably, they were all the ones who had rushed over due to the disturbance of Poison Not Dead's phenomenon and were prevented by Jinpeng from getting closer; each of them had been waiting at a distance for the summons of the Sect Master.
At this moment, they all rushed over like wild horses that had broken free from their reins.
"Sect Master, how are you feeling?"
"Sect Master, you were just so cool."
"Sect Master, you didn't break through to Level 99, did you?"
As everyone approached, they couldn't help but bombard him with questions. There was no helping it; Poison Not Dead's performance had been truly astonishing.
Even if they wanted to ignore it, it was difficult.
"My cultivation level has not broken through to Level 99. What I just demonstrated was a new ability I've come to realize."
"Are you all curious?"
Poison Not Dead's gaze swept over everyone's faces before he asked in a deep voice.
"Mhm, mhm."
"Yes, Sect Master, I've never seen anyone as fierce as you in my life."
"Can you tell us exactly what happened?"
Though these were all strong practitioners of the Body Sect, each of them was several decades old,
in their gathering, they were like curious children.
"Cough, cough."
Poison Not Dead gave a light cough, then spoke seriously: "Actually, it's nothing much. The ability I just used is a very special self-created soul skill. Of course, you can also think of it as a battle skill."
"Sect Master, mighty!"
"Sect Master, awesome!"
"Under your leadership, our Body Sect will undoubtedly shine."
The many strong practitioners of the Body Sect spoke one after another, their words bringing much joy to Poison Not Dead.
"Alright, alright, enough now. I'm going to speak seriously, so all of you listen carefully. If you can understand what I say, it will be greatly beneficial to your cultivation."
Poison Not Dead restrained himself, not letting the Body Sect's strong practitioners continue to flatter.
He understood these old brothers quite well.
If you let them go on, cows would fly to the sky.
Besides, he wasn't the creator of these techniques, he had simply made alterations based on what Qin Xiao had taught him.
Moreover, he felt that, after his modifications, the skill's power had not increased, but rather decreased.
So there really wasn't anything worth showing off.
"Sect Master, are you being serious?"
After listening to his words, everyone couldn't help but be startled.
Poison Not Dead humphed coldly, "Tell me when I have ever tricked you."
"Ah, that... hasn't happened."
Everyone shook their heads.
Joking aside, even if there had been such instances, they couldn't admit it.
"Good, listen carefully to me. This method is actually very simple; use finely tuned perception to find the 480 million tiny particles within your body, and then infuse them into the soul. That is, the soul beast you've encountered and is most compatible with you!"
"Consider each particle as an egg, and once you hatch it, consider it a success."
In his explanation, Poison Not Dead also incorporated some of his own understanding.
He felt that this way, it might be easier for everyone to accept.
However.
As his words ended, he found everyone staring at him with big eyes wide and small eyes narrowed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"All of you, try to perceive it."
Poison Not Dead humphed, clearly annoyed.
However.
It was then that the others realized what was going on.
"Sect Master, you can't be telling me that's all there is to it..."
The practitioners exchanged glances, before an elder with his brows furrowed into a line asked.
To them, it felt like they were listening to something as incomprehensible as a divine scripture.
It was just too preposterous.
"That's it, isn't what I said detailed enough?"
Poison Not Dead asked, puzzled.
"More than that..."
Another person grimaced with a wry smile, "I feel like I'm listening to some heavenly scripture... I completely have no clue what you're saying."
"Exactly, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought I was hearing a story." At this point, someone chimed in.
Poison Not Dead: "..."
He was really in a bind.
It seemed that these guys were beyond hope, even more than he'd imagined.
Utterly... irredeemable.
"Elder Jin, say something..."
Poison Not Dead didn't know what else to say.
"That..." Jinpeng thought of what to say, "I swear on my honor, the Sect Master didn't deceive anyone, he truly comprehended it this way. Do you remember the black dragon phantom you all saw? That was the Sect Master's awakened particle."
"Hiss..."
"If Elder Jin says so, I believe it."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It was clear that they found Jinpeng very credible.
But...
There was still a problem.
"That is, how exactly do we comprehend what the Sect Master talked about?"
Someone realized a very important issue.
"This..."
Jinpeng glanced at Poison Not Dead and noticed that Poison Not Dead was making signals with his eyes.
He immediately understood.
"This is a very profound technique, not something that can be comprehended overnight. Remember what you've learned and go back to meditate and understand it well."
Jinpeng hesitated for a moment, then added, "Remember, if there are any problems, you can come to find... um, the Sect Master."
The crowd silently nodded, each leaving with their thoughts.
"Phew, they finally left..."
Poison Not Dead let out a long breath.
"I was originally thinking that the strong members of the Body Sect could all grasp this extraordinary power and thus greatly increase our strength. But... it seems I overestimated their talents," he couldn't help lamenting.
"Sect Master, you can't speak so definitively. Not to mention them, even I haven't grasped it," said Jinpeng with a bitter smile. "You really can't blame them, this method is just too difficult. In our sect, only you have comprehended it. Even among our younger generation, someone as talented as Long Aotian couldn't do it..."
"Indeed..." Poison Not Dead nodded.
But, at that very moment, a sudden burst of soul power fluctuations erupted not far away.
Poison Not Dead and Jinpeng both looked over, only to find that it was Vina who was the source of the aura.
Poison Not Dead's eyes shone with excitement, "Elder Jin, it seems our sect is about to see the second person..."
...
Elsewhere.
Dozens of miles away from Shrek City, figures draped in black robes appeared on a desolate mountain with no one in sight.
Then even more figures emerged.
There were over a hundred of them.
"Sect Hierarch, Shrek City is just ahead."
Feng Ling pointed at the majestic city in the distance and said.
"I know."
Zhong Liwu slowly nodded, his gaze fixed on Shrek City as he asked, "Have our people figured out what kind of power Shrek now possesses?"
Feng Ling replied, "We have some information, but it's not comprehensive."
Zhong Liwu uttered a single word, "Speak."
"Currently, Shrek City is in a state of high tension, with several Titled Douluo-level experts stationed on the city walls. Additionally, Shrek City is continuously and intensively preparing something. Our people suspect it might be a variety of powerful soul tools," relayed Feng Ling with the information she had obtained.
Hearing this, Zhong Liwu's face revealed a cold smile, "Heh, just posturing, that's all. Now, Shrek is nothing but a paper tiger. How can they have any powerful soul tools without even a single Ninth-Level Soul Master?"
