CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: STAR SOURCE CONCEALMENT TECHNIQUE

Discovering that the Spirit Pearl is actually a Dragon Pearl did not change anything; instead, it made Shen Wang afraid to expose this thing.

If not, not only human cultivators, but even those demons and ghosts are likely to frenzy and swarm over.

Especially the Demon Race, if they could swallow a Dragon Pearl, they would undoubtedly be reborn, transform from a carp into a dragon, becoming a Demon King or even a Demon Emperor.

Just thinking about these situations made Shen Wang’s scalp tingle.

The existence of the Dragon Pearl must not be exposed!

A few days passed, and Shen Wang did not discover any Array Grandmaster coming.

The tension in his heart relaxed a bit temporarily, but he continued to stay vigilant.

As he practiced the Black Emperor Scripture, Shen Wang’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit became increasingly unified, gradually forming a whole.

Shen Wang also understood why such a cultivation technique is called a scripture because it is systematic and leaves no weaknesses.

This is truly a top-tier cultivation technique. The ones he had encountered and known before only focused on one aspect.

Either purely Qi Cultivation, or purely Body Refinement, or Refining Spirit. Even if there was some balance, at most it accounted for one, never had he heard of a technique that prioritized Essence, Qi, and Spirit altogether.

As a result, more people could only choose multiple cultivation techniques to simultaneously refine the body, cultivate Qi, and refine the spirit. But the harmony of such combinations nowhere compares to the Black Emperor Scripture.

Shen Wang decisively abandoned his previous Gathering Essence Technique, continuing only with the Dragon-Suppressing Force. This is because the Black Emperor Scripture’s Body Refining Technique relatively leans towards strengthening the physique with spiritual power, following a path of integrating the body with Water Spiritual Power, rather than directly strengthening the flesh.

As his progress in refining the spirit increased, his spiritual power grew stronger, and his spiritual sense also became more potent.

Half a month later, with Water Spirit Sense, he discovered the hidden location of Profound Thunder Zhenren, while the latter did not notice him.

Shen Wang couldn’t help but praise the strength of the Black Emperor Scripture. His thoughts merged with the Water Spiritual Qi, and since Profound Thunder Zhenren himself didn’t absorb Water Spiritual Qi, it allowed Shen Wang to hide perfectly and, in reverse, monitor Profound Thunder Zhenren’s movements.

Seeing that Profound Thunder Zhenren hadn’t taken any action, Shen Wang felt this guy was just bluffing out of anger and temporarily set aside the matter with the Array Grandmaster.

He used Water Spirit Sense daily to monitor Profound Thunder Zhenren, which not only helped him understand the enemy’s movements but was also a way to exercise his spiritual power.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed, and in his perception, Profound Thunder Zhenren had been continuously cultivating.

For a Golden Core level cultivator, it takes at least a hundred years to ascend a small realm, and their lifespan is over five hundred years.

So Profound Thunder Zhenren didn’t care about spending one or two years here. If it weren’t for Shen Wang repeatedly stirring up trouble, he would continue letting his dogs wear down the array.

Even though Shen Wang had killed many of his dogs, after a moment of anger, he didn’t care anymore.

He only cared about the treasures on Shen Wang.

Suddenly, a talisman flew from him and burned before him, followed by a voice emerging.

This was the most common Sound Transmission Talisman, lower in grade than a Communication Talisman, and single-use, capable of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, commonly used for conveying less important messages.

"Old third, Lingshu has successfully formed a Ninth Grade Golden Core, return quickly for the celebratory banquet."

As the talisman burned, an elderly voice echoed, bringing good news.

Profound Thunder Zhenren opened his eyes, revealing joy: "Finally, nothing unexpected happened. Her master will surely attend the banquet, now Lingshu could help me borrow that thing."

He rose and summoned Yun Conghui and Ge Changzhuang over, instructing them, "I’m going back for a while, you three be cautious, and don’t give that kid any chance."

"Yes, we’ve learned from our mistakes and won’t give another opportunity."

Ge Changzhuang nodded.

"That’s good, I’m leaving."

Profound Thunder Zhenren didn’t mention Lingshu’s breakthrough, intending to speak upon his return.

He summoned a Magical Treasure Flying Sword, transforming into a streak of sword light, disappearing into the mountains.

The three didn’t notice the subtle intention secretly overseeing everything.

In Shen Wang’s secret chamber, his expression grew solemn.

That Yun Lingshu had already successfully formed her Core, and it was a top-tier Ninth Grade Golden Core.

This wasn’t much.

A favored child of the heavens like Yun Lingshu likely wouldn’t care about common family members like Yun Paper Kite.

However, the words ’borrow that thing’ from Profound Thunder Zhenren worried him, as whatever they were borrowing was likely to deal with him.

After pondering for a while, Shen Wang couldn’t figure out what it was, so he equated the threat of this object to that of an Array Grandmaster.

As for whether it was a greater threat, he could only find out through personal experience at the time.

No matter what, Profound Thunder Zhenren’s return would not be beneficial to him.

Before his return, it was best to deal with Yun Conghui and the others.

After killing many people, Shen Wang had become ruthless.

Between him and the Yun Family, at least with Yun Xuanting, there was no room for reconciliation. It’s either you live, or I die.

He stood up.

As he prepared to continue ambushing the bandits outside in Profound Thunder Zhenren’s absence, a system prompt suddenly appeared.

[Your daughter Shen Chuxue has broken through to the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation, and the passive effect of the Longevity Species has been activated, granting you an equivalent cultivation, automatically converted to your normal cultivation]

Shen Wang’s cold demeanor instantly turned into a smile.

"This girl’s pace of advancement is so fast, improving another level in less than a month, even top geniuses might not compare, and she’s only one year old."

With a sense of amazement, Shen Wang planned to check on his daughter. As he stepped out of the room, another prompt appeared.

[Your daughter Shen Chuxue is practicing the Star Source Concealment Technique, and the passive effect of the Longevity Species is activated, granting you the Star Source Concealment Technique]

Shen Wang stopped: "Star Source Concealment Technique? It sounds like it’s for hiding one’s aura, does my daughter not want me to know she’s advancing so fast, fearing to scare me?"

He couldn’t help but smile, then returned to the secret chamber to study the Star Source Concealment Technique, this special secret technique.

After receiving and understanding it, he quickly showed amazement.

Anything originating from his daughter was surely exquisite.

This is an advanced Concealing Breath Technique, belonging to the category of secret techniques.

Its operational principle is far superior to ordinary Concealing Breath Techniques.

Other Concealing Breath Techniques gather one’s power and isolate it, whereas this one disperses the power into the acupoints throughout the body.

Star Source refers to the intent of the stars, indicating both the celestial stars and the human body’s acupoints, using them to accommodate power, rapidly weakening the Dantian’s power, thus reducing fluctuations in cultivation, achieving the effect of breath concealment.

Meanwhile, the body’s power, when hidden in the acupoints, can also stimulate the power of the acupoints, enhancing the physique, and can offset some pressure when performing magic and divine techniques.

Simply put, it disperses power, allowing other acupoints to become new power sources. When needed, it can converge and explode, and when not needed, hides qi within the acupoints, concealing cultivation and aura.

Most impressively, it can enhance physical fitness, and even facilitate cultivating secret techniques or skills that require specific acupoints for assistance, such as acupoints near the eyes for enhanced vision or near the stomach for improved digestion, and so on.

From the obtained cultivation technique and experience, this secret technique is undoubtedly part of another powerful cultivation technique.

Its level is probably no less than the Black Emperor Scripture, but his daughter hasn’t practiced it yet, or has only obtained this part of the secret technique.
