Chapter 82: Chapter 52 It Really Came

Qin Ming was startled. Could this Blade Manual truly exceed expectations and surprise him time and again?

The old man’s Blade Technique was already dazzling enough, exposing him to an incredibly high realm of the Sword Tao. It’s just that his Heavenly Light Force was still budding and he couldn’t fully display the might of that most powerful strike yet.

Now, he hadn’t even started practicing the old man’s Heavenly Light Force, yet this "Tathagata power" was reacting?

Soon, Qin Ming shook his head. He shouldn’t set his expectations too high. If someone had really practiced the Tathagata power, they probably wouldn’t even bother with this Blade Manual.

Heaven Supporting Strength, Tathagata power, and the likes are stronger than even the Giant Spirit God Power, considered legendary Jin Techniques. The goal of the latter is godhood, which makes them already extremely potent.

After pondering over these, Qin Ming made a judgment: the legendary Heavenly Light Force would not possibly appear in this book.

His thoughts began to focus entirely on this book, immersing himself in interpretive reading and resonating emotionally.

The more he concentrated, the sharper his spirit became, the clearer those sounds and images grew.

Qin Ming first looked at the section on "Tathagata power." A single sentence was enough to trigger such strong emotional fluctuations, showing just how deep the obsessions of the person who left these notes were.

Before him, a rough-looking man with a beard appeared, his back carrying a broadsword, looking up at the night sky while sighing on a stormy night.

In the end, he even shouted, "Tathagata power, I cultivate you for nothing!"

What was this situation? Qin Ming was taken aback and nearly lost focus and exited the resonant state altogether because of that exclamation.

Moments later, he understood. The bearded man followed clues and, after many setbacks, finally found the hidden legacy of his predecessor, receiving a few pieces of paper.

The beginning of those was quite intimidating, the first line informing the later generations that this secret technique was related to the Tathagata power!

However, as the bearded man read carefully and excitedly flipped to the last page, he nearly tore up the paper, where the last line stated that this was an extremely potent Nail Strength.

The original owner of those papers earnestly informed future readers that Nail Strength was absolutely part of the Tathagata power sequence.

Qin Ming was dumbfounded as well, empathizing with the bearded man’s sentiments.

In fact, every Sect Suppressing Absolute Skill is composed of various Jin Techniques, eventually merging into the rare Heavenly Light Force.

Not to mention, those legendary kinds of techniques.

It’s common knowledge that the "true transmission on a piece of paper" for Tathagata power is densely packed with various kinds of techniques.

Qin Ming felt moved, no wonder the bearded man’s message carried a hint of resentment. He guessed that the man was probably bewildered and bitter in his heart, having exerted a lot of effort in pursuing those papers after all.

Following that, Qin Ming began to study in earnest.

The bearded man cursed but still researched the Jin Technique, practicing with intense indignation, feeling deceived.

When Qin Ming resonated with him, he was affected by his influence, almost letting anger seep through.

Initially, he tried to suppress it, but he found that the more he allowed the anger to flow, the stronger the spiritual resonance and the clearer those insights became.

And then, he let go completely!

When he closed the book, he was still mumbling: "I cultivate you for nothing!"

Qin Ming closed his eyes, letting himself calm down for a good while before completely escaping that emotional state.

He went into the courtyard and began practicing seriously, very smoothly, without any hint of clumsiness, as if he had studied it for most of his life.

The Heavenly Light within Qin Ming flowed swiftly, sharp light emanating from his fingertips, Nail Strength slowly taking shape.

He resonated with the emotions of those before him as if he had experienced those events personally; those insights and experiences were firmly grasped and transformed into his own "nourishment."

However, this didn’t mean he had accumulated decades of "power" in Nail Strength.

Because he had only witnessed those, resonated with those understandings, experiences, not power, and he still had to practice it himself.

In a sense, this emotional resonance had the most significant value and effect when facing various "techniques," like watching Blade Manuals, gun skills, Sword Scriptures, etc., enabling rapid and efficient mastery, enlightenment that feels equivalent to decades of practice.

Yet, when it comes to elevating the level of life itself, such as Qin Ming transitioning from Second Rebirth towards the Third, and the accumulation of total Heavenly Light Force, those still required his own accumulation.

In those fields, he couldn’t achieve instant success.

"Even so, it’s enough! After all, some Jin Techniques are very difficult to train and not easy to comprehend thoroughly," Qin Ming was very satisfied, holding the crystallization of a predecessor’s efforts, achieving great gains through spiritual alignment.

He went on to study meticulously, considering this Nail Strength quite formidable. Despite its unflattering name, it proved to be very useful in actual combat.

With Qin Ming’s own understanding, it wasn’t difficult to cultivate Nail Strength, but with those experiences and insights, he could quickly master the basics, which of course he was willing to do, as it saved a lot of precious time.

Qin Ming didn’t exert much force; with a mere slight poke of his finger, he pierced into the stone millstone.

The Heavenly Light Force exhibited in Practicing Silk Scripture has qualities such as adhesion, tearing, and piercing; undoubtedly, Nail Strength could integrate into it!

Suddenly, Qin Ming heard crying sounds, and he stepped outside.

"Old Master Li’s family just passed away," he heard such news on the street.

Qin Ming felt a sudden pang in his heart, looking up at the night sky and roughly estimating the location. The patch of black mist that appeared not long ago was likely near the Li Family’s vicinity.

A chill ran through him—what was this situation?

Could it be that this world truly has all sorts of ghosts and monsters claiming lives? He didn’t believe in these things, considering even the so-called Mountain Monsters to be merely Advanced Alien Species.
