Chapter 141: Power of Talismans

With Xiao Chen’s cultivation as a Superior Grade Martial Master, it was not just difficult for him to kill a Rank 5 Spirit Beast; there was virtually no chance of success.

“Is the requirements of Heavenly Saber Pavilion so high?” Xiao Chen asked himself, feeling suspicious. He frowned slightly; if he really tried to complete this mission, he might not even have a ten percent chance of survival.

Xiao Chen sighed and slowly pulled out the Lunar Shadow Saber from its scabbard.

A cold gleam flashed on the black blade. The sharp blade was able to cut hair that landed on it. Xiao Chen gently caressed the blade as a pretty figure appeared in his head, thinking of everything she had done for him.

Soon, his gaze appeared resolute. He muttered to himself, “Regardless of the reason you sealed yourself, I will do my best to wake you up.

“I will never cause you to cry, even at the expense of my life. This is a promise.” From the moment he held the Lunar Shadow Saber and received the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, this was a promise he needed to keep.

“Ka Ca!”

Xiao Chen placed the Lunar Shadow Saber back in the scabbard. He then took the Dragon Seizing Hand he obtained from Yan Qianyun out from the Universe Ring and started to read through it.

This was an Earth Ranked Martial Technique that required one to have a specific inherited Martial Spirit; it was similar to Xiao Chen’s Dragon Subduing Slash. However, Xiao Chen had the Battle Sage Origin’s Changing Character Formula. The lack of the specific Martial Spirit would not obstruct him from using it.

In the situation where one could not use a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, an Earth Ranked Martial Technique was the strongest Martial Technique. Furthermore, the inherited Martial Techniques of an innate bloodline noble clan were much stronger.

This Dragon Seizing Hand was much stronger than the ancient Martial Techniques Xiao Chen obtained in the Ancient remnants. Xiao Chen read carefully for half the night, comprehending it.

“Pu Ci!”

Suddenly, he made a move. The Changing Character Formula and Dragon Seizing Hand both started circulating together. Xiao Chen shouted and sent a palm strike forward.

A huge black hand appeared and smashed the stone table in the courtyard into to bits. Pieces of stone became shrapnel, flying everywhere.

Xiao Chen pulled his hand back, revealing a faint smile. After obtaining the Martial Technique manual, it was much easier to use the Battle Sage Origin to use the attack.

Xiao Chen continued testing in the backyard. Aside from the Dragon Seizing Hand, he also used the Battle Sage Origin’s Changing Character Formula to replicate Ji Changkong’s Astral Swordplay, Duanmu Qing’s inherited Martial Spirit, and Hua Yunfei’s Bloody Death Below Heaven.

In the end, after trying a few times, he discovered he was able to execute them. However, the exhaustion of Essence was great; it was not easily executable.

As for the Dragon Seizing Hand, because he had the Martial Technique manual and understood the way to circulate the technique, he required less Essence to execute it. Only under such a scenario, would the Martial Technique would be worth using.

After exhausting his Essence, Xiao Chen did not enter a state of cultivation to absorb Spirit Energy. He took out an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone and absorbed it completely. His Essence immediately recovered to peak state.

After Xiao Chen complete absorbed the energy from the Spirit Stone, the pool of water in his Dantian visibly increased in size; this was a surprise for him.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, “No wonder everyone likes Spirit Stones. These things are very useful for cultivation. Furthermore, there were no side effects. In the future, I should absorb one every day. I should not just leave them laying around.”

Only Xiao Chen could say words like this and not feel heartache. Even the noble clan disciples did not dare be that extravagant.

After Xiao Chen completed his recovery of Essence, he started to practice the Dragon Seizing Hand. When he exhausted his Essence, Xiao Chen would use a Spirit Stone to recover his Essence; there was no waste at all.

After a long time, Xiao Chen executed the Dragon Seizing Hand hundreds of times; he accidentally discovered some small tricks of the Martial Technique.

When the huge hand attacked the opponent, he could make it form an appropriate gesture. This way, it would be more mighty.

After discovering to the trick, Xiao Chen was extremely excited. He practiced the Dragon Seizing Hand from day to night, until he was able to feel relaxed as he proficiently made the Dragon Seizing Hand turn into a fist.

He had already reached such a level using only one day of time. Aside from having the Changing Character Formula, the main reason he was able to do so was the pile of depleted Spirit Stones on the ground.

The Spirit Stones Yan Qianyun intend to use over a period of six months were consumed by Xiao Chen within a day. What kind of expression would Yan Qianyun in the underworld make if he knew?

The morning sun rose from the east; Xiao Chen woke up from a deep sleep. After washing, Xiao Chen took out the horn of the young Golden Lion King and started carving it.

When challenging a Spirit Beast with the strength of a Martial Saint, Xiao Chen did not dare be careless. He thought about it and decided he should make a Golden Lion King sculpture.

Without Yue Ying’s Dragon Qi, a sculpture of Princess Ying Yue would not be as strong. However, as the Golden Lion King horn came from the Golden Lion King in the first place, controlling it would be easier.
