Chapter 861: Living Being Sacrificial Dance
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
The bald old man’s towering figure stood tall in the darkness while giving off an indescribable sense of power.
He looked like a statue of a deity.
Not the fake Divinities, but rather an unimaginably powerful entity.[The Demon Dragon is a problem that we left behind]
[Everyone felt that no descendant of ours would have anything to do with this forbidden weapon]
[But I had different thoughts. If one day, the Demon Dragon truly goes out of control, and if somebody came forward to kill the Demon Dragon, then how should we face this person?]
The old man stroked his silver beard with a contemplating look in his eyes.
[As our descendant, they would find out that we had runaway and at the same time suffer the consequences for what we had done]
[We… would not be able to properly face such a descendant]
Gu Qing Shan silently listened.If he was in his shoes, he would probably have the same thought.
The bald old man continued: [Later on, after much contemplation and search, I finally found a certain power within the Occult-type inheritance that was related to Mystic-type. Through my modifications, it would be able to qualitatively convert the Demon Dragon’s power into human power]
He opened his palm.
A glittering spark of light was hovering in his hand.
The bald old man caught the spark of light with his fingers and flicked it towards Gu Qing Shan.
The spark slowly flew towards Gu Qing Shan and sank between his eyebrows.
“What is this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[A technique created from Occult Origin power, as well as its detailed description. It can stop the erosion from the Demon Dragon’s power on you and slowly convert it into your own power]
[It will probably need a bit more time to take root within your body, and I still have some time here. With this time, I’ll explain what you need to know]
[Do you know what is the most powerful thing within Mystic-type techniques?]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and clasped his fist: “I don’t know anything about the Mystic-type at all, please teach me”
The Mystic-type as a whole was too complicated for him to understand.
If this strongest Combatant of the Bygone Era was willing to explain the secret of the Mystic-type to him, he would be more than willing to listen.
Sure enough, the bald old man began to explain:
[The majority of Mystic-type abilities manifest through an individual’s natural talent, only an extremely small percentage of them are able to choose if they are willing to be used by an individual]
[And within this extremely small percentage, there is also an extremely small percentage that can be obtained through channeling them]
[For example, the Great Inheritance of the Occult: The Living Being Sacrificial Dance]
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but cut in and asked: “Did you say it was a dance?”
[Indeed, dancing is the best method to communicate with the Mystic. From a very early age of our existence, humanity had already learnt to connect and channel the Mystic through dancing]
[The Living Being Sacrificial Dance is the most powerful ability among Occult-type abilities, it is able to connect and channel an endless flow of power from the Mystic to help you]
[But the original Living Being Sacrificial Dance required the sacrifice of billions of living beings in exchange, it is too cruel to be used, so I modified it]
[The improved Living Being Sacrificial Dance is divided into 9 stages, and each stage would allow you to obtain a portion of the Demon Dragon’s power]
At this point, the bald old man stopped and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
The black flames in his eyes were continuing their spread.
The evil and malicious patterns once again manifested on his skin.
The suppressed power of the Demon Dragon had begun to act up again.
The bald old man told him: [Before you thoroughly convert the Demon Dragon’s power, do not take off that cape. It can prevent others from being infected by you]
Gu Qing Shan endured the pain on his body and replied: “I understand, but I already can’t suppress the Demon Dragon’s power anymore”
The bald old man nodded with understanding:
[That is why you must immediately start practicing the modified Living Being Sacrificial Dance, its first stage will help you suppress the Demon Dragon’s power temporarily]
[Time is up, this leftover image of mine is about to run out of power]
[Practice that Mystic-type power well. Not only will it help you suppress and convert the Demon Dragon’s power, but it will also grant you so much more. Consider this a gift from your senior, after all, you had accomplished a great feat that none of us had even thought of doing]
[Farewell]
Leaving those words, the bald old man’s image vanished within the darkness.
Gu Qing Shan felt even more intense pain overcoming his body.
I can’t wait any longer.
He tried to use this inner sight to sense the spark of light between his eyebrows.
As soon as the spark was touched by inner sight, it immediately reacted.
A flash of light came out between Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows and landed in front of him.
The bald old man appeared again.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
“Didn’t you already leave?” he asked doubtfully.
The bald old man replied: [My other image had left, this one is another recorded image that only has a single function: That is to show and help answer any questions that you might have while practicing this power]
The bald old man looked at Gu Qing Shan and solemnly declared: [Your situation is already very bad, we’ll begin right away]
“Yes!” Gu Qing Shan answered through gnashing his teeth.
The old man gestured with his hand.
Following his gesture, the sound of music began resounding from the void of space.
Boom boom chak
Boom boom chak
Boom boom boom boom boom chak chak!
This was the sound of an extremely catchy drum beat.
As the music played, the bald old man’s uniform disappeared.
Instead, he was now wearing a pair of colorful beach shorts, no shirt, a pair of sunglasses and was barefooted.
[Follow the music, follow my lead and dance!]
[One two three, stomp your feet]
[Four five six, wave your hands]
[Seven eight nine, wiggle your jaw and wiggle your shoulders]
[All together, shake your butt!]
The bald old man began to perform various dance moves.
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
These movements were so disgraceful that he actually forgot about the pain coming from his body.
The bald old man glared at him and shouted: [The great Mystic-type power that this old man spent untold efforts to improve isn’t something just anyone can learn. If you don’t want to learn it, you are free to fall as the Demon Dragon!]
Gu Qing Shan was startled and quickly regained his senses.
“I’ll learn!”
He hurriedly replied.
[Good, then we’re going to start from the top] the bald old man said with a pleased expression.
[Music!]
Boom boom chak
Boom boom chak
Boom boom boom boom boom chak chak!
[One two three, stomp your feet]
[Four five six, wave your hands]
[Seven eight nine, wiggle your jaw and wiggle your shoulders]
[All together, shake your butt!]
Truthfully, these movements were quite simple, but as Gu Qing Shan performed them, he felt an indescribable power seeping from the spark of light between his eyebrows into his body.
This was probably the Occult Origin power that the bald old man mentioned.
As this power gradually flowed through Gu Qing Shan’s entire body, it began to call upon something within the endless void.
As the dance continued, his inner sight became trapped.
All sorts of unknown, unspeakable, and unfathomable powers – or perhaps entities – manifested from the void of space to completely obscure his senses.
They all arrived to move along with the music and the dance, at the same time being absorbed into Gu Qing Shan’s body at an incredibly slow rate.
The black flames burning Gu Qing Shan’s body gradually faded.
The pain quickly subsided.
It’s actually working!
As Gu Qing Shan noticed that it was effective, he felt nothing but joy.
Lines of blood-red text also manifested in front of his eyes:
[You are performing the Living Being Sacrificial Dance (primary-level improved version)]
[Congratulations, you have gained the attention of countless Mystic-type powers, a good fortune that very few humans have ever obtained]
[The countless Mystic-type powers are helping you suppress the power of the Demon Dragon]
[You have temporarily protected your identity as a human, the Order will not detach from you]
Reading this, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed in relief.
The lines of blood-red text continued:
[You have obtained a strand of converted Demon Dragon power]
[Your body has grown tougher]
[You have gained an unexpected harvest: A certain Mystic-type power had modified your immune system, you’ve gained a slight resistant to voodoo-type attacks]
[To let you better practice, the Order shall temporarily move away from your eyes to not block your vision]
[Please keep dancing!]
