Chapter 1589: Truly Not Wanting To Show Off

On the peak, the old man said, “Little fellow, I’ve taught you the seventh form’s mnemonic now. When you go back, you can slowly open your meridians, and by no means should you rush it. At your current level, there’s no way you can control the seventh form of Split the Heavens. This move is something even I can barely use. Without the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet, using it is truly dangerous.”

The old man’s expression was grave as he warned Long Chen. This move could not be randomly used.

Unfortunately, Long Chen couldn’t stay in the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect forever. There was no way for the old man to guide him forever. That was why the old man had no choice but to transmit the seventh form of Split the Heavens ahead of time to Long Chen.

The fierceness of the seventh form was something even Long Chen’s monstrous physical body and spiritual yuan could not possibly handle. The old man was afraid Long Chen would get arrogant and try to use it, which would result in a fatal opening for his enemies.

“Even you are only barely able to use it? But didn’t you say that you would show me the power of the ninth form of Split the Heavens in the Grand Han? Could it be…” Long Chen was surprised.

The old man furiously clapped Long Chen in the back of the head. “What, you think I was just bragging? I can use the ninth form. However, it would require using a secret art to ignite my Yuan Spirit. After unleas.h.i.+ng it, I would die.”

Long Chen rubbed the back of his head. He was very moved inside. Back then, the old man had actually been willing to sacrifice his life to unleash the ninth form of Split the Heavens in order to cut down Yu Xiaoyun’s clone. That had been for Long Chen’s sake.

“The nine forms of Split the Heavens are too domineering. Even when cultivating the Battle G.o.d Sacred Canon, it’s still difficult to use them. That’s why we need the a.s.sistance of the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet to relieve the stress to the body. The Battle G.o.d Sacred Canon, the nine forms of Split the Heavens, the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet, and the Heaven Splitting Blade are the four treasures of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect. Not one can be missing. However, the current Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet is incomplete. You should be careful when using Split the Heavens as a result,” warned the old man.

“I understand. I won’t rush it.” Long Chen nodded.

The old man had only transmitted the mnemonic for the seventh form to Long Chen, but he hadn’t had Long Chen start training in it yet. He would instead let Long Chen study it slowly.

“Alright, then you should leave. I want to see what’s recorded inside this jade case. Hmph, I refuse to believe the Netherpa.s.sage realm is really so difficult to reach,” said the old man compet.i.tively. However, he had agreed to use this jade case now thanks to Long Chen.

“I want to see it too. Don’t be so stingy!” Long Chen was very curious about what was contained in the jade case.

“Do you want to lose your life? This jade case contains life and death energy. Qu Jianying somehow managed to record some of her experiences in the Netherworld by using a portion of her Yuan Spirit. Once the jade case is activated, that powerful life and death energy will definitely kill your Yuan Spirit instantly,” said the old man.

“It’s fine. My Yuan Spirit is strong enough to handle it.” Long Chen smiled. He was even more confident in his Yuan Spirit than he was in his physical body.

“Then tell me how many primordial runes you had when you condensed your Yuan Spirit. I’ll see if it’s enough. This isn’t a joke. When that life and death energy erupted, I won’t be able to save you. I haven’t reached the Netherpa.s.sage realm yet,” said the old man.

An attack of life and death energy would annihilate the Yuan Spirit. It was unblockable. If something happened to Long Chen, the old man would go crazy.

“Cough, I had quite a few. Can I ask how many primordial runes you had?” probed Long Chen.

“Although I am only a rank eight Celestial, I was a.s.sisted by the Battle G.o.d Sacred Canon. I increased the number of primordial runes that I produced by three times. In the end, I managed to condense eighty-seven thousand of them,” said the old man proudly.

Long Chen was startled. He had always thought that the old man was a rank nine Celestial. Unexpectedly, he was only a rank eight Celestial.

However, thinking about it, Long Chen knew there was no way to compare the old man’s era with the present. In the current era, mostly in the most recent few years, the world had changed. Heavenly geniuses were crazily sprouting.

Heavenly geniuses were as common as rice. As for in the old man’s era, advancing a single Celestial level had been incredibly difficult. His tenacity and grit were not things that the current generation’s heavenly geniuses could compare to.

As a rank eight Celestial, he had touched upon the door to the Netherpa.s.sage realm. This kind of perseverance even won Long Chen’s praise. It seemed cultivation talent wasn’t necessarily the most important thing.

For ordinary rank nine Celestials, the upper limit was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine primordial runes. As for the old man, he had actually broken through his limit three times, resulting in him condensing eighty-seven thousand. There was definitely something behind that.

“Little fellow, how many primordial runes did you have? If you don’t have enough, then don’t talk nonsense,” said the old man.

“In truth, I condensed enough. I condensed just a little bit more than you,” said Long Chen.

“How much is a little bit? Say it in more detail. Don’t look at me with that evil smile. This could kill you,” raged the old man.

“Ah… a bit more means a bit more.” Long Chen scratched his head bashfully. There was really no way he could say it without embarra.s.sing the old man.

“A hundred thousand?”

“A bit more.”

“Two hundred thousand?”

“A bit more again.”

“What, three hundred thousand?” exclaimed the old man.
