The Supreme Lord Donghuang
chapter-244-30041322

“What a perfect Dharma!” He Mengxi could no longer fend off Da Zhuang. The Summer Valley’s chief, He Jin, looked at the fiery thunder Dharma that now covered Da Zhuang like a suit of armor. His eyes shone.

He had never seen such a perfect Dharma even from an ultimate Dharma adept.

“What technique is Da Zhuang practicing?” He Jin was clearly aware that, based on Da Zhuang’s foundation, to produce such a perfect Dharma, the new technique must be very high-level. The higher the level of the technique, the more perfect and fewer flaws in the Dharma produced. This was a universal rule that could not be changed.

He had already guessed that Da Zhuang had switched to a different technique. Now, seeing how perfect Da Zhuang’s Dharma was, his hypothesis was confirmed. Da Zhuang’s new technique was far superior to any within the Lightning Sword Sect.

The Lightning Sword Sect’s technique could not produce such a perfect Dharma, even if it was the “Lightning Sword Technique.” In the sect’s history, nobody had ever managed to produce a Dharma as perfect as Da Zhuang’s while practicing the “Lightning Sword Technique” in the ultimate Dharma stage. Even if there were such a person, he or she would have been a prodigy. At least, He Jin had never witnessed something like this before.

“Da Zhuang, what Dharma is this?” Seeing her multiple attacks easily parried by Da Zhuang’s Dharma, He Mengxi was shocked. Despite her best efforts to catch Da Zhuang off guard, he was unaffected by her attacks. She was not surprised that the Dharma was protecting its owner. What shocked her was this: under most circumstances, the power a Dharma exhibited while protecting its owner was considerably less than if the adept were actively controlling the Dharma. But Da Zhuang’s Dharma easily fended off all her attacks even if he did not make an active effort to do ao. This made her extremely confused and angry.

“I try so hard to attack you, but you only reacted after your Dharma had already managed to fend off all my attacks! How?”

“Hehe! Sister, I am not sure.” Da Zhuang shook his head.

“You don’t know?” He Mengxi glared at him, then asked in disbelief, “It’s is your Dharma, so how can you not know?”

“I…” Da Zhuang could not answer. In his hesitation, he turned to Zhou Donghuang for help. Then, both He Mengxi and He Jin looked at Zhou Donghuang.

“I gave him a new technique to practice.” Zhou Donghuang did not plan to hide this information, so he answered directly. To him, Third Sister He Mengxi was not an outsider. He Jin was her father, so he was not an outsider either.

“Indeed.” He Jin was shocked. Although this was exactly as he had guessed, Zhou Donghuang’s confirmation still surprised him.

“New technique?” He Mengxi lit up as she looked at Zhou Donghuang, and her eyes filled unknowingly with a thirsty look. She soon realized how she must look and turned away awkwardly.

Now, Da Zhuang laughed as he said, “Sister, Little Brother says that he has a more appropriate technique to give you.”

His words made He Mengxi’s dim eyes light up again.

“Third Sister, the technique that I will give you and the Valley Chief can be used to train until the Divine Transformation stage. But it is for the best that nobody else knows about this. Otherwise, you will cause trouble for yourselves!” As he spoke, Zhou Donghuang turned very serious. He would not be stingy with Third Sister He Mengxi and her father, He Jin. However, he had to warn them.

With that, Zhou Donghuang retrieved a piece of paper, which he had prepared a long time ago, from his space ring and handed it to He Mengxi. “This technique is known as the ‘Thousand-Star Sword Technique.’ It is an extremely powerful sword technique. Once you train using this technique, in a short time, Da Zhuang will no longer be your match. His reaction time is his weakness. However, in the future, as Da Zhuang further improves skill, his technique will work on his weakness until it disappears entirely. By that time, even though the two of you will be at the same skill level, a confrontation will still end in a draw. Of course, if it were a real match to the death, your chances of winning would be higher. These two techniques belong to the same level. Your ‘Thousand-Star Sword Technique’ is mainly an offensive technique, while Da Zhuang’s ‘Fiery Thunder Training Regimen’ is more for defense. However, the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” that I just gave you is not complete. When you reach the Divine Transformation stage, I will provide you with the rest of it.”

“Thousand-Star Sword Technique?”

“Same level as Da Zhuang’s new technique?”

Hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, both He Mengxi and He Jin felt their breathing speed up.

“You must remember my words,” warned Zhou Donghuang. “Both the ‘Thousand-Star Sword Technique’ that I just gave you or the ‘Fiery Thunder Training Regimen’ that I gave Da Zhuang are extremely high-level techniques. Once revealed, there will be no place for you to hide in this whole galaxy!”

“I understand,” said He Mengxi seriously. Although she had not known Zhou Donghuang for a long time, she had also never seen him so serious before, so it was easy for her to understand the gravity of the situation. As for He Jin, he had already quickly scanned their surroundings to check for anyone secretly hiding or listening. After confirming that nobody else was in the vicinity, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Little Brother.” He Mengxi seemed to remember something as she looked at Zhou Donghuang. “Why not tell my father about the other matter? I don’t think he will doubt you anymore.”

The “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” was the supreme technique in the whole Hengliu Galaxy. Since Zhou Donghuang had shared it with her father, He Mengxi was sure that he would believe the story that Zhou Donghuang had told her.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded then continued seriously with a darkened expression, “But nobody else can know about this.”

“Of course.” He Mengxi nodded gravely. This matter concerned her father’s death, so, naturally, she would not mess around.

“What is it?” He Jin looked at Zhou Donghuang and his daughter with a mystified expression, and his eyes filled with a blank curiosity.

“Chief, why don’t you go back with Third Sister and let her tell you herself,” suggested Zhou Donghuang with a smile.

Zhou Donghuang had complete faith in Third Sister He Mengxi. Their interactions in his previous life were substantial enough for him to be sure of her character. Even disregarding those past life experiences, the fact that he had given her the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” meant that she would not betray him. After all, she believed in returning a favor with gratitude. As for her father, He Jin, although he’d had no interaction with him in his past life, he had heard He Mengxi mention him more than once. He Mengxi’s character came from her father.

Furthermore, in his past life, according to He Mengxi, not only had Da Zhuang died for her, but her father had sacrificed his life so that his daughter could live. After his millennia of experience, Zhou Donghuang was no fool. He would not put himself in a dangerous situation. Both He Mengxi and He Jin were worthy of his trust.

“Da Zhuang.” At the same time, Zhou Donghuang turned to Da Zhuang and reminded him, “From today on, do not easily show off your power to others. If you want to show off, you must wait till you are at the ultimate Dharma stage. Until then, maintain a low profile.”

“Ah, why?” Da Zhuang was confused. At the same time, his eyes filled with disappointment. He had just been thinking about sparring often in the future to let the others know that he, Da Zhuang, was easily able to defeat others of the same level of skill. He was not a piece of trash like they’d always said.

“If you do not want Third Sister or me to die, you’d better do as I say.” Zhou Donghuang was too lazy to explain to Da Zhuang. Although he could have tried, Da Zhuang’s slow brain would have only understood after a lengthy explanation.

Zhou Donghuang was well aware that the amount of power Da Zhuang had displayed using the Fiery Thunder technique just after attaining Dharma was enough to make He Mengxi and even He Jin guess that Da Zhuang was now practicing an extremely high-level technique. Otherwise, Da Zhuang would not have displayed unimaginable advancement in such a short time. After all, He Jin was well aware of Da Zhuang’s talent, and so were many other people in the Lightning Sword Sect.

But Zhou Donghuang was different. Although he had displayed his power when he defeated the Summer Valley disciple, Lian Can, just after he had attained Dharma, not many people would associate that with his high-level training technique. Instead, most people assumed that he had spent a long time at the Ultimate Primal Core stage, training his Dharma when it was still a fetus.

After all, none of them knew about his past.

“I understand.” Although Da Zhuang had an overwhelming urge to show off his newfound power, when he heard that this matter involved the two people whose lives he considered even more important than his own, he immediately suppressed his desire and made this promise sincerely.

Meanwhile, He Jin was in a state of shock after hearing what his daughter had to say back at their residence. No wonder Zhou Donghuang had called his daughter ‘Third Sister.’ No wonder his daughter had suddenly decided to leave the house for such a long time. Normally, she would have given him considerable advance notice before going on a long trip.

“No wonder! He’s dreamed of the future, including my death.” He Jin’s expression was grave.

By now, he had already taken a look at the ‘Thousand-Star Sword Technique’ that Zhou Donghuang had given him. The sheer magnificence of the technique far surpassed the ‘Lightning Sword Technique,’ the sect’s trademark, which he had been practicing ever since he’d entered the Dharma stage! They were as different as night and day!

“After I convert to the ‘Thousand-Star Sword Technique,’ I will be the most powerful person below the Divine Transformation stage in the whole Hengliu Galaxy!” He Jin’s eyes shone with confidence. Now, at his skill level, there were many Primordial Soul adepts in the Lightning Sword Sect who were more powerful than him. And that was not even taking into consideration the rest of the Hengliu Galaxy or even this planet!
