Chapter 737: Recruitment
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Mult.i.tasking was nothing too difficult for a cultivator, but if one wanted to develop two high-grade secret techniques to their maximum limit, that was difficult to do.
Ling Han began to study the Earth Overturning Seal first, aiming to reach the point that he would be able to use it single-handedly.
The difficulty of this did not originate from the moves, and in truth, Mystical Powers did not have any moves per se—that was the case with the four Mystical Powers Ling Han had learned to date, at least. Instead, Mystical Powers merely taught you how to circulate your Origin Power so that it would adhere to some specific pattern, but exactly how one was to put it to use was entirely up to himself.
For example, in the case of the Earth Overturning Seal, both hands would be covered fully with unique patterns—the formidable power of this Mystical Power originated from these patterns as they possessed incredibly terrifying destructive power.
It was the same for the Exterminating Dragon Star Arrow: concentrating the patterns on the arrow allowed Ling Han to fire an arrow with formidable destructive power. Thus, this archery technique did not even need a real arrow and bow, as he himself could become the bow and his Origin Power could be formed into an arrow, and he would still be able to fire out projectiles with extremely strong destructive power.
What Ling Han had to do was to combine the patterns that were originally spread out onto two hands on a single hand.
He studied and practiced in earnest. Time pa.s.sed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another month had pa.s.sed, and he finally smiled. Stretching open his left hand, the patterns were closely intertwined, but the odd thing was that the demonic patterns actually resonated and combined with the Earth Overturning Seal.
“Yi, though they are completely different, why do I see a similarity?” Ling Han was curious.
“This is the power of regulation.” Small Tower appeared.
“Regulation!” Ling Han mumbled. Small Tower had said long ago that the demonic patterns were the culmination of the regulation of the realm. He only knew that they possessed great power, but did not know why. He said, “Come, explain the details to me.”
“I don’t have any such duty.” Small Tower was very tsundere. “However, what we know as Mystical Powers touch slightly on the boundary of the regulation of a realm, so cultivate these Mystical Powers well as that would be highly beneficial to you.”
Even if it did not say so, he knew that for a fact!
Ling Han was very gloomy. This d.a.m.ned tsundere Tower completely did not treat him like a master. One day, he would definitely stuff it down the toilet so that it could earnestly reflect on the errors of its ways.
He exited the Black Tower to take a look, yet saw that the army the Flame King had disappeared, and there was a flag symbolising the Purple Moon Empire raised at the nearby city gates. Obviously, the Flame King had already conquered this city, and continued on his way to expand his territory.
Ling Han released the others from the Black Tower, and they headed towards the city. He had to make discreet enquiries about the current situation.
Apparently, the Lunar King had brought another army over half a month ago, and joined troops with the Flame King. With two ultimate elites attacking fiercely at the same time, they had completely routed the various parties responsible for guarding the city, and had forced the Alliance Army of the five great sects into retreat yet again.
“Recruiting, recruiting!” a soldier was yelling out loudly on the street. “Join our Purple Moon Army, and there is a chance you will be able to learn high-grade martial arts and cultivation techniques. Those who pa.s.s by, if you want to become friends with the ultimate elites, you should not miss this opportunity.”
Ling Han could not help but feel an urge to laugh. Ma Duo Bao was undependable, and the soldiers under his banner were not really all that dependable, either. This slogan for troop recruitment would really make one want to laugh. However, using the temptation of cultivation and martial arts techniques would still attract many to join.
There were many who were stagnant at some cultivation level. It wasn’t that they did not have enough talent, nor was it that they did not have enough resources; what they lacked was higher grade cultivation techniques!
“I can only advance to the Deity Transformation Tier with my cultivation technique, so how then am I supposed to break through to the Heaven Tier?” was what they thought. Although there were indeed alchemical pills that could allow a cultivator to reach the summit in a single step, there were pitifully few of them. Only if one had luck that defied natural law would he be able to obtain them.
But for the majority, they had very ordinary luck. Furthermore, high-grade cultivation techniques were treated as absolute treasures by powerful parties, and if they were not true disciples or clansmen at the core of the party, they were unable to cultivate at all. So, if they wanted to obtain high grade cultivation techniques, what should they do? It was difficult!
