Chapter 303: Three Ultimate Primordial Soul Adepts

In three months, besides what Liu Pingsheng had learned about the technique of Divine Dharma through his experience all those years ago, Zhou Donghuang and Liu Pingsheng did not talk about anything else.

However, after three months, the two of them felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

In the three months, Zhou Donghuang had worked on the foundations laid by Liu Pingsheng centuries ago. Zhou Donghuang’s understanding of the technique left Liu Pingsheng shocked. In fact, he guessed that if he had met Zhou Donghuang in the past, he could possibly have successfully mastered the technique of Divine Dharma.

Liu Pingsheng left the Lightning Sword Sect quietly. Besides Zhou Donghuang, nobody else noticed his absence.

It was only a month after Liu Pingsheng had left that He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head, came to look for him to ask for advice on a problem that he had met with during his practice… that was when he found out that Liu Pingsheng had already left the Autumn Valley and the Lightning Sword Sect a month ago.

“Donghuang, why didn’t you inform me?”

He Jin smiled awkwardly. Liu Pingsheng’s absence was a huge matter to both him and the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Valley Head, what problem did you face with your practice?”

Knowing that He Jin had come to look for Liu Pingsheng to ask for advice related to his training, Zhou Donghuang could not help but laugh quietly to himself.

Wasn’t this going around the sun to meet the moon?

Right before him was someone who used to be a martial art talent at the ultimate Immortal stage!

“It’s something about breaking through… I always feel as if I am about to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, but something’s still missing.”

He Jin laughed sadly as he said, “But since Senior Liu has already left, I can also consult the Sect Leader or an elder instead.”

The two Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect were nothing compared to Senior Liu Pingsheng, who had already left, but they could surely give him enough advice. After all, they had their own experience with reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

“Valley Head, after you converted to using the Thousand Star Sword Technique, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Divine Transformation stage… typically, you should not encounter such a huge bottleneck,” said Zhou Donghuang.

He Jin had converted to practicing the Thousand Star Sword Technique quite some time ago, and Zhou Donghuang had expected him to already have reached the Divine Transformation stage. He did not think that he would still be stuck at the Primordial Soul stage after so long.

“Normally, you should have broken through a long time ago,” added Zhou Donghuang.

Hearing this, He Jin replied awkwardly, “Normally, I should indeed have broken through by now… however, I was greedy. When I first converted to the Thousand Star Sword Technique, I tried to keep some of what I had learned from my previous technique that I believed was crucial. However, at the end of the day, it proved to be creating unnecessary trouble for myself, and I wasted much effort on that.

“Although I managed to correct myself eventually, when I tried to reach the crucial point before the Divine Transformation stage, I still reached a barrier.”

Besides his slight embarrassment, He Jin was also extremely helpless.

“Keeping some things from the previous technique?”

Zhou Donghuang was speechless. Although that would allow one to learn the new technique more quickly, it would still be more work in the end because the technique came as a package. If one were to keep things from the old technique, it would definitely hinder the progress of mastering the new technique.

“What is the situation now?” asked Zhou Donghuang.

He Jin shook his head and replied, “I am not too sure myself… I just have a feeling that after I converted wholehearted to the new technique, there are still remnants of the old routes from the previous technique. When the inner Yuan and Spirit energy pass through my body, some of them will somehow end up following the previous routes.

“I have tried to correct it; I spent one day, ten days, one month, three months, and the longest I spent was even half a year… but there was no improvement,” said He Jin sadly.

“Not even after half a year?”

Zhou Donghuang frowned slightly and said, “Valley Head, when you were trying to correct it, did you at times allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes?”

“Yes.”

He Jin nodded and answered, “Sometimes, I try doing that to test if I have successfully corrected it, but usually not for long.”

Hearing He Jin’s explanation, Zhou Donghuang shook his head and said, “That is the problem.

“During this period where you are correcting it, you must not allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes… why don’t you try again, whenever you are practicing, whenever anything flows through those routes, you must control the flow and not allow it to flow automatically.

“If all goes well, within a month, you will surely be able to correct it,” Zhou Donghuang said.

“Of course, within this month, you must remember not to allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes… because before you successfully correct this problem, if you allow the Spirit energy or inner Yuan to flow automatically through those routes, all your previous efforts will have been for naught.

“If you keep this up for a month and ensure that the Spirit energy and inner Yuan avoid those routes, you will be able to break that bad habit and correct the problem once and for all.”

He Jin’s problem was a small one that Zhou Donghuang could solve easily.

He Jin was not stupid either. After hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, he clearly understood the feasibility of his idea, and after quickly bidding farewell to Zhou Donghuang, he disappeared to try it.

After He Jin had left, Zhou Donghuang returned to his room to continue his practice.

“I never would have thought that… after Dharma Power Control, there is Divine Dharma!”

As Zhou Donghuang sat cross-legged on the mattress, four bright sources of light emanated from his body. These were none other than the four supreme beasts. They surrounded Zhou Donghuang and swallowed the Spirit energy in the air with large gulps.

The Spirit energy of the Qi-Gathering formation was thick, and Zhou Donghuang had hardly been able to use it up during his normal practice. But now, the speed at which the Qi-Gathering formation was absorbing the Spirit energy was far slower than the speed that the four beasts were swallowing up the Spirit energy.

This was simply the Divine Dharma technique.

Before Liu Pingsheng had left, Zhou Donghuang had already mastered the Divine Dharma technique, but he had not exposed himself in front of Liu Pingsheng… he did not wish to become a target for everybody.

If Liu Pingsheng had no untoward thoughts, that would be fine.

But if Liu Pingsheng had other intentions, that would be trouble for him.

“I did not think that by using the Lord of the Four Supremes together with the foundations laid by Liu Pingsheng’s knowledge, I would be able to master the Divine Dharma technique in just three short months.”

Up to now, Zhou Donghuang could not help but sigh. “Looks like the Lord of the Four Supremes is an ancient Primordial Soul level technique that is indeed very helpful in mastering the Divine Dharma technique.”

The effect of the Divine Dharma technique was to allow one to produce the light of the Dharma Power and allow the Dharma Power to swallow Spirit energy to aid its practice.

Typically, the speed at which one’s Dharma Power swallowed Spirit energy was already very fast, but with the help of four Dharma Powers surrounding him, Zhou Donghuang absorbed Spirit energy at an incredible rate.

Now, there were visible disturbances in the Spirit energy around Zhou Donghuang’s house.

Of course, this was only noticeable if one came closer.

Before Liu Pingsheng had left, Zhou Donghuang had not dared to use the Divine Dharma technique to absorb Spirit energy to aid his training. Now that Liu Pingsheng had left, he could then use it at ease.

“Feels like… with this speed, in no time at all, my ultimate Dharma Powers will be able to reach the Primordial Soul stage and become four supreme Primordial Soul beasts!”

Zhou Donghuang’s eyes flashed open abruptly, shining brightly.

Previously, with the help of the four Sky Sun elixirs, the four supreme beast Dharma Powers within Zhou Donghuang had reached the ultimate Dharma stage.

Now, after mastering the Divine Dharma technique, his practice had become even faster. He could sense that he would be able to reach the Primordial Soul stage very soon and become a Primordial Soul adept!

Furthermore, he no longer had to worry about the problem of practicing beyond the Primordial Soul stage using the Lord of the Four Supremes. With the help of the Divine Dharma technique, he would follow in the footsteps of the ancient humans who came before him.

He would no longer have to work on the foundations of the Lord of the Four Supremes to try to produce a technique for further improvement. Even if he wanted to produce the continuation of the technique beyond the Primordial Soul, he would not be able to do so. Since ancient times, countless talents had tried to do the same, but none had managed to figure out the continuation of the technique beyond the Divine Transformation stage.

Of course, there was no need for that.

The Divine Dharma technique was enough to allow one to successfully reach the Deity stage.

However, Zhou Donghuang could not forget about the mysterious huge demon that lay on the Guiyao planet.

…

“That Zhou Donghuang, is he still cooped up at the Autumn Valley?”

As Zhou Donghuang was trying to reach the Primordial Soul stage, a figure was standing at the galaxy teleporter not far from the Lightning Sword Sect on the Tielao planet.

This was a middle-aged man, and beside him, there was an old man and another middle-aged man.

If Zhou Donghuang were here, he would be able to know with just a glance that the man who had spoken was none other than Chu Wei, the Chu official of the Qi Dynasty who had visited him along with the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui.

“Yes.”

The man who had reported the news was young and one of the disciples of the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect. His real identity was a spy that the Qi Dynasty had placed within the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Continue watching him. If he does anything, inform me immediately,” ordered Chu Wei seriously.

“Yes, Official Chu.”

The man bowed, then turned and left.

“Chu Wei.”

Then, the middle-aged man beside Chu Wei frowned and said, “This time, are we not here to kill a Dharma adept? It would be more than enough for you to do it alone, but Seventh Prince still asked both of us to come with you.

“Three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts to ambush a Dharma adept… if news were to be leaked out, how embarrassing would it be for us?”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he was clearly unhappy.

“This was not decided by me… if you must ask, you will have to question Seventh Prince.”

Chu Wei shook his head. He was equally confused about the decision.

Hearing Chu Wei’s words, the middle-aged man then shut his mouth and did not pursue this topic further. Clearly, he did not have the guts to question the seventh prince of their Qi Dynasty.

“Seventh Prince has said that this matter was personally instructed by Emperor Qi himself… So even if all three of us have to be involved, then we have to do a good job!”

The old man beside Chu Wei, who had not spoken a word, finally spoke up.
