I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 68: Legendary family

The news that Senior Brother Xinghe was going to give everyone pointers on cultivation techniques spread like wildfire.

Although the Thunder Roar Technique was considered an entry-level technique, quite a few disciples in the Thunder Palace practiced it.

When they heard that Senior Brother Xinghe was going to explain the Thunder Roar Technique, everyone rushed over in a frenzy.

So many people came that Chu Xinghe couldn't even hold the session inside the Skill Tower; he had to find a venue outside.

In no time, the venue was packed to the brim.

"I've always heard that Senior Brother Xinghe is virtuous, but today I realized he's also so eager to help others."

"Exactly... Our Thunder Palace elders are always busy. Normally, it's hard enough to consult an elder, let alone those senior brothers and sisters who always make excuses."

"Yes, indeed... Only Senior Brother Xinghe can find time in his busy schedule to guide us."

"By the way... does anyone know when Senior Brother Xinghe practiced the Thunder Roar Technique?"

"Why do you care about that... Senior Brother Xinghe cultivates the Grand Sky Battle Intent. As they say, mastering one technique leads to mastering all. He's already at a level we can't comprehend."

The murmurs around reached Chu Xinghe's ears, but he didn't blush at all.

Thunder Roar Technique? He didn't know a thing about it.

If it weren't for the Thunder Palace disciples mentioning this technique, he swore he wouldn't even know it existed.

His understanding of thunder was limited to throwing thunder and "monkey thunder."

But looking at the Thunder Roar Technique in his hand, Chu Xinghe wasn't worried at all.

Who said you need to understand a technique to guide others?

That's for those who want to guide others positively, but he didn't need that at all.

Soon, everyone gathered, and the lecture on the Thunder Roar Technique began.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I've been practicing the Thunder Roar Technique for over three months, but I always encounter blockages in the flow of spiritual energy. What could be the reason?"

"Senior Brother Xinghe, we also have blockage issues, but besides that, I always feel sluggish when absorbing spiritual energy with the Thunder Roar Technique. Do you know why?"

The disciples of Thunder Palace didn't hold back, bombarding Chu Xinghe with questions like a machine gun.

But Chu Xinghe remained unflustered, maintaining a calm demeanor.

After all the disciples finished asking their questions, everyone looked at Senior Brother Xinghe, waiting for him to solve their doubts.

Chu Xinghe smiled slightly...

Heh... finished asking, right?

No more questions, right? It's my turn now, right?

"Actually, the problems you mentioned have appeared among disciples of the Thunder Palace for generations."

Chu Xinghe began to fabricate without blushing or panting.

"And the issues you've raised, I've encountered them all while researching the Thunder Roar Technique recently. After careful consideration, I believe... the problem doesn't lie with you."

"It's with the technique itself!"

"Because the Thunder Roar Technique... everyone has been practicing it incorrectly. There's an error in the technique, so it needs to be practiced in reverse. Once practiced in reverse, all these problems will be solved."

Chu Xinghe's words were shocking.

When they heard about reverse cultivation, the entire venue fell silent.

Reverse cultivation?

It's known that a technique's development and later cultivation are the results of countless generations' accumulation.

Countless predecessors have validated it through countless failures.

And reverse cultivation?

Isn't that a joke?

Reverse cultivation means all spiritual energy flow methods must be reversed, conflicting with one's spiritual energy flow.

This is a major taboo in cultivation.

After hearing Chu Xinghe's words, many were stunned.

"Re... reverse cultivation? Senior Brother Xinghe means the Thunder Roar Technique is wrong? It needs reverse cultivation?"

"Impossible... The Thunder Roar Technique is one of the three major entry-level techniques of Thunder Palace."

"I heard reverse cultivation could lead to madness. Is Senior Brother Xinghe joking?"

"Don't joke... When has Senior Brother Xinghe ever joked with us? I think he makes sense."

If anyone else had said the Thunder Roar Technique needed reverse cultivation, they would've been ridiculed.

But since it was Senior Brother Xinghe, no matter how absurd, considering his reputation in the Grand Sky Sect, everyone nodded.

"Reverse cultivation will encounter various obstacles at first, but don't panic. As long as you persevere, you'll find that the true essence of the Thunder Roar Technique is revealed through reverse cultivation."

Chu Xinghe spoke solemnly.

Guiding everyone down the wrong path?

For someone completely unfamiliar with the Thunder Roar Technique, even making things up wouldn't work.

After much thought, Chu Xinghe found the most reliable and universally applicable method.

Reverse cultivation... What technique wouldn't fail with reverse cultivation?

As long as the Thunder Palace disciples started reverse cultivating the Thunder Roar Technique, even if they didn't all go mad, it wouldn't be far off.

But with the sect elders around, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger.

Still, if the Thunder Palace elders knew he was giving random guidance... would they let it slide? It would cause an uproar.

This was foolproof!

Chu Xinghe then detailed the various reactions that might occur with reverse cultivation, emphasizing that feeling uncomfortable at first was normal. As long as they persisted, they would soon achieve success... or so he claimed.

Leaving the venue, Chu Xinghe almost couldn't resist singing "Good Days."

Though many Thunder Palace disciples were skeptical about reverse cultivating the Thunder Roar Technique, even more believed him.

And they expressed their intention to start reverse cultivation that very day.

Look at them... such good kids...

Even if not all junior brothers went mad, as long as a batch did, he'd be satisfied.

Never underestimate small evils, nor neglect small virtues!

The path to destroying the sect is long and arduous; I must strive to explore it.

After his mischief at the venue, Chu Xinghe returned to the Skill Tower.

Sitting on the ninth floor of the Skill Tower, Chu Xinghe examined the entirely wooden structure.

If a fire broke out... who could save him?

After thinking it over, this plan wasn't feasible... The Skill Tower was the foundation of the Grand Sky Sect.

If it caught fire, no one could save him, not even the Great Elder or the Sect Master.

They'd probably skin him alive on the spot.

Forget it... better to develop cautiously, can't be too reckless.

The Skill Tower housed countless techniques, and after a day of browsing, Chu Xinghe felt like his brain was mush.

With his mind in a fog, Chu Xinghe returned to his residence in the Spirit Crane Palace, where Senior Brother Feng Fei sat at a desk, looking troubled.

"Junior Brother Xinghe is back."

Seeing Chu Xinghe return, Feng Fei forced a smile.

"Senior Brother Feng, what are you busy with? Procurement? Need my help?" Chu Xinghe asked eagerly.

Last time, procuring three million Shenling Grass caused a spirit cave explosion. If given another chance, Chu Xinghe would gladly face the challenge again. He didn't believe he could cause another spirit cave explosion.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, it's not about procurement; it's about the Spirit Weapon issue. You've been studying in the Skill Tower these days, so you might not be aware."

"The families that have been collaborating with the sect to forge Spirit Weapons and imbue them with spirits have demanded higher prices due to rising raw material costs."

"The Sect Master is furious about this and has tasked the Great Elder with handling it, which ultimately fell on me... Sigh... If this isn't resolved properly, the sect might face trouble."

Feng Fei finished, his eyes dim.

Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"The sect might face trouble? Senior Brother Feng, please elaborate."

Is there anything better than the sect facing trouble?

Chu Xinghe quickly grabbed a small stool, sitting earnestly in front of Feng Fei, ready to listen.

Soon, Chu Xinghe understood the situation.

The Grand Sky Sect was vast, with a Spirit Pool boasting a million Spirit Weapons, but that didn't stop its development.

On the contrary, every year, disciples and elders ventured out to various blessed lands to seek precious materials, which were then entrusted to families specializing in Spirit Weapon forging.

Thus, the number of Spirit Weapons in the sect's Spirit Pool kept increasing over the years.

Besides forging, imbuing spirits was crucial.

Not every disciple could obtain something as powerful as the Grand Sky Sword Box.

Most disciples received basic Spirit Weapons, which had their own flaws.

Imbuing spirits not only enhanced the Spirit Weapon's strength but also compensated for its inherent flaws.

However, imbuing spirits required various materials.

Recently, the families collaborating with the sect demanded higher prices, citing rising material costs.

This infuriated Gu Mingchao, as the sect already offered the highest prices, yet they were still unsatisfied.

In anger, the sect canceled all collaborations with these families.

But the sect still needed to forge and imbue Spirit Weapons...

So the task fell to the Great Elder, who was instructed by the Sect Master to resolve it quickly.

The Great Elder, after consulting with many elders, came up with two solutions.

The first was to find new families to collaborate with.

But this seemed unreliable, as the previous collaborators were the largest. Choosing others over the biggest and strongest was less preferable than raising prices.

The second solution was inspired by Chu Xinghe's actions in Spirit City.

After the Shi family refused to cooperate, Chu Xinghe trained stone pointing masters. Although Wang Tieniu and his team couldn't match the previous collaboration's output, they were on track to surpass the Shi family in two to three years.

This was a long-term solution.

So the Great Elder planned to train talents for Spirit Weapon forging and imbuing.

However, Spirit Weapon forging and imbuing were far more complex than stone pointing.

Starting from scratch, like with Wang Tieniu, was unrealistic.

Thus, even if they pursued this path, they could only recruit existing Spirit Weapon families.

Senior Brother Feng was troubled by this, as training a Spirit Weapon family required unimaginable expenses.

And the choice had to be reliable; if the family failed to deliver, the sect's immense investment would be wasted.

Hearing this, Chu Xinghe's eyes gleamed.

Wow!

Thanks to those price-hiking Spirit Weapon families for helping me!

Thank you for creating such a great opportunity for me.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, look, here's a list of families I've compiled that could be recruited by our Grand Sky Sect."

Feng Fei didn't hide anything from Chu Xinghe, handing him the list he had prepared.

Chu Xinghe glanced at the list and was greatly disappointed.

First on the list was the Liu family, an old Spirit Weapon family with formidable strength. Though they had declined over the years, they still had a solid foundation. With sect support, they'd surely rise again.

That wouldn't do...

And the Wang family... ugh... no need to look further, the head is named Wang Tieshan. Reminds me of Wang Tieniu, and that name doesn't inspire confidence!

Creating another Wang Tieniu would be disastrous.

Disappointed with the list, Chu Xinghe felt Senior Brother Feng was being overly cautious.

But just as he was about to give up, he noticed the last family on the list.

The Ouyang Family?

Seeing the Ouyang Family, Chu Xinghe felt a spark of excitement.

This family was extraordinary, a millennium-old lineage.

The head, Ouyang Qing, died a few years ago from an overdose of aphrodisiacs in a high-class brothel.

Upon hearing of his death, the family elders were devastated and disbanded.

The remaining heir, Ouyang Ming, along with his sister Ouyang Ling and a few loyal disciples, joined a mid-sized sect called the White Crane Sect.

In two years, the Ouyang Family thrived in the White Crane Sect, consuming vast resources, eventually causing the sect to collapse.

Then they joined the Azure Heaven Sect, where the sect master valued Ouyang Ming highly.

Ouyang Ming didn't disappoint; in just a year and a half, the Ouyang Family caused the Azure Heaven Sect to collapse too.

Later, they joined the Primordial Origin Sect, where the sect master was wary and stingy with resources. This led Ouyang Ming to experiment with substitutes, resulting in an explosion in the forging room.

The sect master tried to rescue them, but a series of explosions ensued, leaving only a thumb or toe of the sect master to bury.

The Primordial Origin Sect, being unreasonable, expelled the Ouyang Family over this minor incident.

Now, under the new head Ouyang Ming, the Ouyang Family was struggling to survive.

Seeing such a legendary family, Chu Xinghe was moved to tears.

Damn it, isn't this the lucky star I've been dreaming of?

I've been racking my brains to bring down the Grand Sky Sect, but look at the Ouyang Family!

In just a few years, they've brought down several sects!

Never mind how this millennium-old family survived, but in terms of bringing down sects, they're unmatched!

Chu Xinghe's eyes shone with excitement. Such an extraordinary family, our Grand Sky Sect must have them!
