Chapter 743: What’s the deal with this Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha?!

“The speech of the Sage?” True Monarch Eternal Fire’s eyes immediately lit up.

If he could listen to the speech of the Sage, there was a chance he might have a breakthrough and increase his strength, pa.s.sing from the Sixth Stage to a superior realm.

True Monarch Fallout and Scholar Drunken Moon silently nodded. Even if they couldn’t obtain the inheritance of the Sage, listening to his speech was nothing to scoff at, and would bring them endless benefits. In addition, they could even learn a secret technique. This time, they certainly didn’t suffer a loss.

“Which type of secret technique can we learn?” Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.

Venerable White also stopped in his tracks, and looked at the Still Pond of Wisdom. He seemed somewhat conflicted at this time… was it better to study the Still Pond of Wisdom or settle for the speech of the Sage and the secret technique…?

The Still Pond of Wisdom struck while the iron was hot, saying, “Ahaha. Little friend, that’s a good question. Although I’m not the Sage, I know a lot of secret techniques, tens of thousands of them! Tell me, which type of secret technique do you want?”

“Is there any secret technique that can allow me to ride a flying sword… while still in the Third Stage Realm?” Song Shuhang tried to ask.

After he had started cultivating, one of his biggest wishes was to fly in the sky while relying on his own strength. However, there was still a long way before he could reach the Fourth Stage Realm, and he would have to wait for quite some time before riding a flying sword.

The Still Pond of Wisdom clenched his teeth, and said, “How can there be such a secret technique?! Stop goofing around and practice diligently. Once you reach the Fourth Stage, you will be able to ride a flying sword just fine! Don’t try to reach for what is beyond your grasp!”

“…” Song Shuhang.

“In addition, just think about it! Even if such a secret technique existed, wouldn’t it be pointless to learn it? You obtained a hard-to-come-by opportunity to learn a secret technique, and you want to waste it to learn something that anyone can easily do after advancing to the Fourth Stage Realm?” the Still Pond of Wisdom patiently reminded Song Shuhang.

“What you said makes sense,” Song Shuhang said. One couldn’t expect anything less from an existence that was related to the Sage. His ability to educate and guide youngsters was top-notch.

“Think about it carefully. Choose the secret technique that you need the most at this time,” the Still Pond of Wisdom said.

“I see. In that case, let me think about it for a little while,” Song Shuhang said earnestly.

“Good, good. Think about it carefully, and don’t waste this opportunity.” After he had said this much, the Still Pond of Wisdom looked at the three True Monarchs and Venerable White. “Is there any secret technique that you guys want to learn?”

Venerable White raised his hand, and said, “I have one!”

“Speak.” The Still Pond of Wisdom revealed a gentle smile on his face.

“I want to learn that secret technique the Sage used to bite off part of the ‘existence’ of that mysterious ‘Immortal’ he was fighting,” Venerable White said happily.

“…” The Still Pond of Wisdom.

The smile on Venerable White’s face stiffened. “That’s not possible?”

The Still Pond of Wisdom forced a smile, and said, “That wasn’t a secret technique… it was an innate skill! Innate skills are something you have innately; there is no way I can teach it to you. Therefore, I ask you to settle for something else, Fellow Daoist.”

Somewhat disappointed, Venerable White said, “…Fine. Let me think a bit.”

The Still Pond of Wisdom secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and turned toward the three True Monarchs. “What about you, Fellow Daoists?”

Scholar Drunken Loon quickly stepped forward, and said, “Is there any secret technique that can allow me to strengthen my ‘presence’? If there isn’t anything of the sort, how about something that can allow others to remember my name?”

“…” The Still Pond of Wisdom.

Scholar Drunken Soon had an expectant look on his face. Although there wasn’t much hope, the opposite party was still the inheritance that the Sage had left behind. Therefore, it wasn’t completely impossible for him to have a similar secret technique.

After a short moment, the Still Pond of Wisdom probed, “Fellow Daoist, what is your name?”

“Scholar Drunken Moon, my dao name is Scholar Drunken Moon!” Scholar Drunken Happiness said.

The Still Pond of Wisdom nodded, and pondered for a short moment, saying, “Scholar Drunken Sun? Good name. No… that’s not it!”

The Still Pond of Wisdom looked at Scholar Drunken Moon, somewhat surprised, and said, “Do you practice some kind of special cultivation technique?”

Scholar Drunken Yoon repeatedly nodded his head.

“I can only give you this advice… practice hard, and once you reach the Eighth Stage and show your divinity in front of the ma.s.ses, no one will be able to forget your name,” the Still Pond of Wisdom said in a grave tone.

“But I’m still very far away from reaching the Eighth Stage!” Scholar Drunken Gloom was unwilling to accept this outcome, and said, “Is it possible that not even the Sage has such a secret technique?”

“I’m sorry… but the Sage indeed does not have such a secret technique,” the Still Pond of Wisdom said apologetically. “Because the Sage had no use whatsoever for such a secret technique.”

The Sage was unrivaled in the world, and next to no one in the current age would be his match. Back in the day, he was the number one cultivator, inferior only to the Wielder of the Will.

Who in the world didn’t know his name?

Such being the case, why would he even bother creating such a secret technique?

Scholar Drunken Goon faintly sighed.

“Therefore, you should also think about some other secret technique,” the Still Pond of Wisdom said in a soft voice. d.a.m.n, were these guys trying to embarra.s.s him on purpose?

The secret techniques they wanted were one stranger than the other!

He had been unable to provide the secret technique these guys asked for three times in a row… that was a big loss of face.

❄️❄️❄️

“Now then, only the two of you are left. Fellow Daoists, which type of secret technique would you like to learn?” The Still Pond of Wisdom finally looked at True Monarch Eternal Fire and True Monarch Fallout.

Hopefully, these guys would turn out to be better, and wouldn’t put forward strange requests.

True Monarch Fallout shrugged his shoulders, and said, “My understanding of the secret techniques of the Sage is limited… as such, can you let me draw a raffle? I’ll keep whatever I draw.”
