Chapter 123 Creating Cultivation Techniques for the Dragon Clan
Jinlong stepped forward, his eyes filled with admiration and hope. This was the master he had recognized. Although Yuanshi Tianzun had not yet given his consent, he would not give up.
Yuanshi and Changhao inspected the differences between the golden dragon and the baby dragon hatched from the dragon pearl egg, met to discuss the matter, and finally reached a consensus.
"In this way, I will tailor a cultivation technique for the dragon race, which can maximize the dragon race's powerful physical combat ability and make progress in spiritual cultivation at the same time. It can be regarded as the dual cultivation of the Dao and the body. The dragon race has a long life. Taking it slowly, steadily and surely, and accumulating strength is the way to longevity."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Are Your Excellency and the Heavenly Venerable going into seclusion to create a new cultivation technique?" Ao Kuang practically had the words 'can't wait' written all over his face. "The East Sea has built a new Crystal Palace for Your Excellency. Has Your Excellency not seen it yet?" Even his attempts to please were straightforward and endearing.
"Alright, lead the way." Chang Hao said noncommittally, "Yuanshi, would you like to come along?"
“Together,” Yuanshi said with a slight smile, “I also have the intention to create one. It would be a rare opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from each other.”
Chang Hao was also fired up, "Okay, I'm sure I'll win."
Chang Hao isn't just bragging; he's read countless books, making him a well-read scholar with broad knowledge, a keen eye, and a sharp mind that surpasses even the most prodigious.
Ao Kuang glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun, only to see that Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were smiling and his face was gentle. He did not see any sign of anger, so he was relieved.
It turns out that the Venerable One and the Celestial Venerable were truly close friends. For some reason, Ao Kuang felt more at ease about the future of the Dragon Clan.
Chang Hao and Yuan Shi entered the Crystal Palace, but had no time to appreciate its magnificent and crystal-clear beauty; they were completely absorbed in the competition.
Seeing Chang Hao's confident demeanor, Yuan Shi felt a chill run down his spine. Was he really going to lose? No, even if he was going to lose, he had to lose gracefully.
Yuanshi calmed his mind and focused his attention.
Chang Hao's carving knife never stopped, the 'swish, swish, swish' sound surrounding Yuan Shi's ears, and a soft 'snap' sound was the sound of closing the jade slip and stopping the carving knife.
Seeing that Yuanshi had finished carving the last section of the jade slip, Chang Hao handed over the rolled-up jade slip, saying, "Please give me some pointers, fellow Daoist."
Yuan Shi smiled wryly, put down the carving knife, and took it. "How come I didn't know you were so competitive?"
Unfolding the jade slip, one is immediately struck by its brilliance. The entire piece is written in one go, with the physical body and the divine soul complementing each other. Its strength is unparalleled among those of the same level. The only drawback is its slow progress. However, this drawback is not a drawback at all in the eyes of the ancient beings with long lifespans. On the contrary, it has the meaning of steady progress and accumulating strength for a future breakthrough.
"How is it?" Chang Hao asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yuanshi remained silent, reaching out to the jade slip he had inscribed. Chang Hao followed his gaze and narrowly saved the jade slip just a second before Yuanshi destroyed it.
"Why did you destroy it?" Chang Hao touched the corner of the jade slip that had been accidentally damaged with heartache. "This was something you painstakingly compiled."
Yuanshi paused for a moment, then said frankly, "Since we already have the best, there's no need to keep the second-best."
"What are you saying? You're friends with me now because you think I'm the best. If you think I'm not good in the future, are you going to break off our friendship?" Chang Hao deliberately teased, saying that Yuan Shi's thinking was unacceptable.
Yuanshi got angry as soon as he heard this, "You're being unreasonable. These are two completely different things. How could I think that way? No matter what you become in the future, you will always be the best in my eyes. No one can compare to you. You are you, unique and irreplaceable."
"You said it, so don't go back on your word later." Chang Hao smiled. Despite Yuan Shi's aloof demeanor, he was actually quite simple-minded.
"Of course, these words come from my mouth, and every word is from the heart." Yuan Shi solemnly assured him, not wanting Chang Hao to have even the slightest chance to misunderstand.
"What's written on this jade slip? Would you mind if I took a look?" Chang Hao waved the jade slip in his hand.
"It's yours. Do with it however you want." Yuanshi held the jade slip written by Chang Hao in his hands. He had long since looked down on the one written by Chang Hao, even though that one had been written with great care.
Seeing the opportunity, Yuanshi was delighted. He was reluctant to give away the jade slip that Chang Hao had personally engraved, so he simply engraved one himself.
Chang Hao opened it and read it word by word, and found that it was actually very interesting, but it required a high level of comprehension. It was probably difficult for such a person to emerge from the Dragon Clan.
However, if someone could combine the intellect of the human race, the powerful physique of the witch race, and the foundation bestowed by the primordial beings, then by cultivating in this way, achieving physical sainthood would not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Chang Hao had a sudden inspiration. It wasn't that there weren't such people. He was just barely qualified. Apart from not having the powerful physique of the Wu Clan, he met all the requirements.
He has no claim to the Heavenly Sainthood, and the Great Dao is elusive and intangible. Why doesn't he try to achieve sainthood through physical means first? He can take his time achieving sainthood through spiritual means, since he has endless lifespan anyway.
"I'm planning to try practicing the physical ascension to sainthood technique from it. It looks quite interesting. Do you want to try it too?" Chang Hao genuinely thought it was feasible. If the Witch Clan obtained this technique, it would be incredible.
“It’s not impossible,” Yuan Shi knew that his method wasn’t bad, but it was too demanding and not as feasible or adaptable as Chang Haoshu’s method. “If you want to practice it, we can work together to create a method for achieving physical sainthood that is most suitable for both of us.”
"That would be perfect. The thought that you will all become saints in the future, while I am still wasting my time as a quasi-saint, makes me feel quite sad." Chang Hao's expression was downcast. It is not so easy to become a Great Dao Saint.
Seeing Chang Hao's unusually worried expression, Yuan Shi secretly felt sorry for him. "Don't worry, if I become a saint, I will do everything I can to help you achieve sainthood."
"At worst, you can stay by my side forever, and no one can bully you."
"Ha, hahahaha..." Chang Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud, completely ignoring Yuan Shi's hidden thoughts. "You don't think that I'll be powerless to fight back now that you've become a saint, do you?"
There are differences between saints. Heavenly Dao Saints and Great Dao Saints are different. Although Chang Hao has not yet become a saint, his current strength is already infinitely close to that of a saint.
What Chang Hao didn't know was that there was no light in the chaos. The moment he appeared in the chaos, even though he wasn't born with the body of a demon god, once it was confirmed that Chang Hao belonged to this world, the Great Dao bestowed upon him the Law of Light.
Unless he is like the unfortunate demon god who was devoured by Rahu, having his laws stolen and being completely consumed, he is the embodiment of the Law of Light.
Yuan Shijun's face darkened. Did Chang Hao realize that the key point of what he said was "forever"?
“Let’s go out,” Yuanshi said, holding his breath. “Once you give this cultivation technique to Ao Kuang, he should be completely devoted to you.”
"Completely devoted?" Chang Hao chuckled ambiguously. "Why don't you say that when the next generation of the dragon race rises up, it will be the time when I can kill whoever I want?" It's not that easy.
