Chapter 205 - The Dragon-Elephant Prajna I Created Myself Is So Weak! (1/2)
The scene turned silent at once. It was not just the disciples of the Diamond Sect who were stunned, but Chen Jingzhou, Cheng Dongfeng and the others were dumbfounded too.
What the heck?
Nonetheless, there was a wave of laugher after the silence.
Rank-nine… creating cultivating methods…
That was certainly possible.
Many martial artists tended to develop blade techniques or swordplay that fitted them best, but those were all average skills. Therefore, how could a rank-nine novice martial artists create a godly technique like the Dragon-Elephant Prajna?
The elder lama who spoke out before was about to say something again when the Diamond Sect’s head monk stopped him.
Looking at Jiang He, he smiled. “Young man, it is your providence to be able to learn the Dragon-Elephant Prajna. However, since the Dragon-Elephant Prajna is a secret technique the Diamond Sect does not teach to outsiders, and you’re not a core disciple of ours…”
Jiang He laughed coldly to cut the head monk short before he could finish, saying, “Oh? Whatever do you mean?”
“Your cultivation of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna is extensive, and it shows that you have karmic connections to our Diamond Sect. You may join us, and we naturally would train you as a core disciple… otherwise…”
The head monk breathed a long sigh, saying, “I must follow the code of the Diamond Sect.”
Lifting an eyebrow, Jiang He asked, “And that would be?”
The head monk turned to give Corban a look then, who stepped forward with the Iron Staff of Discipline, saying, “According to sect code, those that steal our secret techniques or learnt it without permission shall be penalized as traitors to the sect. However, since you are not a disciple of ours, young man, so it would suffice that we recover the cultivation method.”
Jiang He was left amused at that.
He could not help laughing. “I’ve already learned said cultivation method. How would you recover it?”
“The guru shall take action, and he certainly could wipe away your memories of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna.”
“Hahahaha!”
Jiang He suddenly broke out in loud laughter until tears were flowing from the corner of his eyes.
The many disciples of the Diamond Sect all stared at Jiang He, believing that he was upset after hearing about the Diamond Sect’s code.
On the other hand, there were uncertain looks on the faces of Chen Jingzhou, Cheng Dongfeng and the others, with Cheng Dongfeng stepping forward to say, “Venerable ones, Jiang He learned that technique by chance and did not steal it. Moreover, he is not a disciple of the Diamond Sect, and isn’t it inappropriate that you would apply your code to him?”
Cheng Dongfeng’s feet shook and his stomach churned when the head monk and the other elites turned toward him, but he kept an uncowed look, smiling flatly as he added, “By the way, I’ve neglected to introduce myself—Cheng Dongfeng, at your service, a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, and my master Dong Haichuan is one of the Hua Nation’s Void-tier elites.”
The many elite monks reacted to that.
Any martial artist who could ascend as a Void-tier would certainly be extraordinary.
Even so, Corban insistently shook his head, saying, “The code of the Diamond Sect must not be broken!”
As a sojo who maintains discipline in the diamond sect, he certainly did not wish for anyone to break sect code.
Chen Jingzhou and He Litong stepped forward then as well, despite being rank-nine advanced and rank-seven respectively. They were unafraid even with the crowd of Diamond Sect elites before him, their presence imposing as Chen Jingzhou spoke, “Jiang He is a martial artist of the New Martial Era and has a title in the nation’s military. Anyone who makes a move against him is an enemy of our nation’s legions!”
Despite being merely rank-six, young Yang Chengwu stepped up as well instead of hanging back, saying, “If push comes to shove, we will forfeit on our entry to the Secret Realm! Let us leave, Bro Jiang!”
Meanwhile, though Zhou Rui did not say anything, she stood quietly behind Jiang He.
Indeed, Jiang He felt moved by the scene.
