CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 415: MASTER WAN HONG’S SIGH

"The divine techniques I have mastered consist of three. One of them belongs to the Sunrise Daoist Sect and naturally cannot be exchanged."

"The other two, one is Shrinking Inches and the other is Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light."

"If Sect Leader Meng is willing, you may take the Small Spirit-Banning Technique and choose one divine technique to exchange."

Bai Ziyue said decisively.

"Three?"

Master Meng Chuan widened his eyes.

The other people’s eyes also showed surprise.

They hadn’t expected that, without a sound, Bai Ziyue actually mastered another divine technique.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze fell on Master Meng Chuan.

"Can we perhaps offer a precious treasure to exchange for the two divine techniques together?"

Master Meng Chuan quickly thought of the origin of the Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light, his breath became rapid, and he said with bright eyes.

"Unless you offer another divine technique, otherwise..."

Bai Ziyue glanced at him, with a calm expression, shook his head, and said.

Immediately, the scorching gaze of many elders and disciples of the Beixuan Sect dimmed.

The Beixuan Sect had been established for over a thousand years, naturally possessing many good things, but in terms of divine techniques, it was greatly lacking; up to this day, they only had the Small Spirit-Banning Technique, and naturally couldn’t offer a second.

"Then we’ll choose Shrinking Inches!"

Master Meng Chuan knew it couldn’t be forced, after consulting briefly with Grand Elder Meng Tong and several other elders, quickly made a decision.

"As you wish!"

Bai Ziyue nodded and took out a Jade Scroll Eye.

The Beixuan Sect also quickly brought out their collected Acupoint Position Map and Divine Power Technique Small Spirit-Banning Technique for exchange.

...

"The number of acupoint positions is one thousand two hundred and five, deducting overlapping quantities, it finally elevated the number of acupoints I collected to one thousand two hundred seventy-nine."

"Now, with only seventeen left to reach the perfection of one thousand two hundred ninety-six acupoints."

"And having obtained the divine technique Small Spirit-Banning Technique, it increased the number of divine techniques I mastered to four, thereby enhancing both my foundation and power."

Bai Ziyue successively put down two Jade Scroll Eyes, a flicker of brilliance in his eyes.

The increase in acupoint quantity naturally pleased him, but even more exhilarating was actually acquiring the divine technique Small Spirit-Banning Technique.

"Small Spirit-Banning Technique not only can ban the spirit light of magic, severing its link with the enemy’s heart spirit, but can also seal dharma treasures, defending against strong attacks from others."

"In some aspects, it has an ingenious similarity to the Treasure-Setting Divine Light I mastered but is more powerful and its effects more evident."

"Once I proficiently master this divine technique, it’s undeniable that it’ll greatly elevate my power."

Bai Ziyue, upon witnessing Beixuan Sect’s Grand Elder Daoist Huoyun using this divine technique back then, was very impressed, believing its effect in battle was definitely not less than attacking divine techniques.

Now having truly obtained this divine technique and after an examination, he immediately discovered its profoundness, surpassing his previous imagination. *Deep within his heart, there emerged a thread of satisfaction from fulfilling a desire.*

*In the upcoming period, Bai Ziyue traveled to several major immortal technique sects within the Desolate Ancient Realm, numerous ones with deep and powerful foundations, like Kunwu Sword Sect, Myriad Phenomena Sect, Void Sect, Suyun Sect... and among others sects, gaining a total of seven or eight Acupoint Position Maps.*

*Unfortunately, there are few sects that possess divine techniques. In addition, some sects, like Jiuhua Immortal Palace, highly value their inherited divine techniques and are unwilling to exchange them.*

*Therefore, although various sects were very envious of his divine power technique, in the end, he only managed to exchange for one divine technique named Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace.*

*It’s also worth mentioning that among numerous sects, countless disciples over the years were equally unwilling to remain confined in this place, and all had attempted to head to the Outer Domain from various directions.*

*Upon Bai Ziyue’s proposition, they immediately realized his intention to leave this place and go to the Outer Domain.*

*As they all breathed a sigh of relief, they ’enthusiastically’ shared all relevant details about the path leading to the Outer Domain, its environment, and the introduction of demon beasts entirely with him.*

*It seemed as though they were eager to send him away.*

*An invincible powerhouse with massive destructive power gave them too much pressure.*

...

In the vast swamp area, all sorts of foul air and poison gas rose up, along with many venomous insects and fierce beasts entering and exiting.

The sunrise soared in the sky, while within the swamp area, it seemed there was a kind of coldness, like a chilling wind rising, hissing.

Right there, a young man sat cross-legged atop a large beast, letting the beast stride forward.

The beast was entirely a shiny blue-black, standing about ten feet tall, with a huge head appearing rather bulky, layers of meat piled upon each other, and a curious eye that gave a surprisingly cute contrast perception.

Suddenly, a venomous snake, seemingly frightened, abruptly shot out from a filthy swamp and charged toward the large beast.

The beast squinted its eyes and opened its mouth, instantly a ball of spirit light burst forth, landing directly on the venomous snake, immediately making the previously high-speed snake stagnate in the void, unable to move an inch.

Then, the beast stepped forward, its paw swiftly flicked, promptly smashing the venomous snake into a paste.

At this moment, the beast turned its head, a proud glance slanted towards the person behind.

The young man was, of course, Bai Ziyue, and the large beast beneath him was precisely his Little Black Dog raised by his side.

Little Black Dog’s growth speed was actually not weak, with Bai Ziyue supplying the blood and flesh of numerous Great Demons, sometimes even granting spirit pills, now its realm actually wasn’t weaker than cultivators of the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation.

Yet compared to Bai Ziyue, it was still rather weak, hence unless there was no danger like now, he seldom released it from the Spirit Beast Bag.

Not knowing when!

Rumblings!

A long string of air explosions suddenly sounded in the distant sky.

A sword light pierced the sky, tore through the air, broke the sound barrier, and came swiftly. Then, abruptly, it hovered ten miles away from Bai Ziyue and slowly descended.

"Kunlun Daoist!"

Wan Hong, dressed in a purple Daoist robe, approached slowly and greeted Bai Ziyue with a Daoist salute, saying, "You certainly made me search for you."

Bai Ziyue looked at the visitor and returned the gesture, replying, "May I know the reason the Sect Leader sought me?"

"Recently, your actions have been spread wildly across the land.

Every deed you have done has been enough to shake the entire land.

However, don’t forget that you are still a disciple of our Sunrise Daoist Sect.

Breaking the Gu God Sect and killing many experts from the Celestial Spirit Sect, these matters the Sect had concerns about and couldn’t offer help. *I know there’s something on your mind.*

But not to favor one over the other, exchange Divine Techniques with other sects, but leave out our Sunrise Daoist Sect, right?"

Wan Hong’s voice sounded a bit stiff.

"The Sect Leader came to bring charges against me, didn’t he?"

Bai Ziyue smiled faintly.

"I wouldn’t dare,"

Wan Hong shook his head, and then added, "It’s just that there are inevitably some grievances within the sect."

"That’s why I’m here, isn’t it? If I weren’t returning to the sect, would I come to this Yunmiao Mountain Swamp?

After all, I was born into the Sunrise Daoist Sect and tread the path of Immortal Technique with the help of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, so naturally, I won’t forget the sect."

Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but explain.

Wan Hong’s expression turned from gloomy to bright, saying, "I know your mind is no longer in this little Desolate Ancient Realm, and you will definitely head to the Outer Domain.

This is all the Acupoint Position Maps we’ve collected at Sunrise Daoist Sect, aside from the 1,080 recorded in the Circulation Acupoint Skill Map, we also have nearly two hundred scattered Acupoint Position Maps, totaling 1,243 acupoint positions.

Additionally, these are some records from our sect’s disciples who ventured into the Outer Domain over the centuries. They contain not only detailed maps but also introductions to Demon Beast distribution, which should be of great help to you."

He was clearly well-prepared and directly handed over several Jade Scroll Eyes.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Bai Ziyue looked at Wan Hong with some surprise, noticing the hint of expectation in the latter’s eyes, *he understood the man’s intentions instantly* and smiled inwardly, replying smoothly, "Among the Divine Techniques I have mastered, several were exchanged from major Immortal Technique sects with agreements that they cannot be passed on.

However, Shrinking Inches and Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light are not among those.

I will leave them in the sect as the foundation of the Sunrise Daoist Sect."

As he spoke, Bai Ziyue flipped his hand, and two special Jade Scrolls immediately appeared in his hand.

"This..."

Wan Hong’s breathing immediately became rapid, his eyes fixed on the two Jade Scroll Eyes.

He had thought that Bai Ziyue would provide one Divine Technique, which would have been generous enough.

After all, their exchange was already worth replacing the Silent Extinction Divine Light from the Sunrise Daoist Sect, and they couldn’t offer a second Divine Technique.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ziyue offered two Divine Techniques at once, which was exceedingly generous.

"Do you have any requests? Please just say it!"

After a while, Wan Hong gritted his teeth and said.

"I have no requests,"

Bai Ziyue shook his head, saying, "*Consider it a way of giving back, since I’ve already learned these two Divine Techniques and gained immense benefits from them.*

Leaving them with the sect is better than taking them with me alone."

"It seems you’ve made up your mind to go to the Outer Domain completely.

When will you leave?"

Wan Hong sighed, his eyes showing a complex expression.

"As short as ten days to half a month, as long as half a year,"

Bai Ziyue thought for a moment, then replied.

"It’s good to leave, after all.

The Desolate Ancient Realm is too weak.

The Celestial Spirit Sect comes every thirty years to bestow the Divine Pill, seemingly as a gift to this land, but isn’t it also stifling our development?

*Without geniuses, how can strong men emerge to break through the shackles of the three major forbidden places?*

I only hope that when you become powerful in the future, you’ll break the seal of the three major forbidden lands and help our Desolate Ancient Realm cultivators grow freely, without becoming fodder for the Celestial Spirit Sect."

Wan Hong remained silent, then sighed deeply.
