Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 193 - 186 Falling Snow True Scripture (2/5)

Chapter 193: Chapter 186 Falling Snow True Scripture (2/5)

Zhou Heng leisurely sat on the bed inside the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, flipping through the contents of a box with Xiao Huoshui. As for Orchid Concubine, she could only peek curiously from the side, not daring to come closer.

The Falling Snow True Scripture, obtained by Ma Buqian from an ancient relic, was a Heaven-Level Upper Grade technique!

Theoretically, a Heaven-Level Upper Grade cultivation technique could possibly allow a martial artist to break into the Divinity Transformation Realm. Of course, the cultivator had to be exceptionally talented; otherwise, even the best technique would be useless if the wood was too rotten.

Yet, even after cultivating Falling Snow True Scripture, Ma Buqian was only able to reach the Spirit Sea Realm—it seemed his talents were really not that impressive!

Xiao Huoshui mercilessly criticized from the side, her eyes shining, "Big lecher, if I switched to cultivating the Falling Snow True Scripture, could I reach the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, patted her head comfortingly, and shook his head, "If you’re diligent, you might manage to break into the Land Cleaving Realm in this lifetime!"

"I’m infuriated!" Xiao Huoshui snapped, cultivating a Heaven-Level Upper Grade technique and only reaching Land Cleaving Realm? This guy really underestimated her! "I’m going to bite you to death!" She opened her silver teeth and buried her head into Zhou Heng’s lap.

Yikes!

Zhou Heng grimaced; this woman really had no shame. Despite the presence of a third person, she dared to provoke him like this.

"I didn’t see anything!" Orchid Concubine quickly shook her head. She was indeed terrified of Zhou Heng’s bandit-like unreasonableness, where whatever she did seemed wrong!

Zhou Heng pulled Xiao Huoshui up and handed the Falling Snow True Scripture to her, saying, "You two go figure it out by yourselves, and don’t disturb me!"

"Big lecher, are you really letting us cultivate this technique?" Xiao Huoshui stared at Zhou Heng, her eyes filled with shock.

Normally, high-tier techniques and martial skills weren’t taught lightly within a family clan. They were passed down based on seniority, talent, and status.

This wasn’t hard to understand. If every clan member could cultivate the most profound techniques but not guarantee high achievement levels, what if a clan member got captured by a rival force?

High-tier techniques and martial skills were a clan’s cornerstone for survival. If these were easily forced out of someone, how would that be acceptable?

Xiao Huoshui, because of her unremarkable cultivation talents, had access only to an Earth-Level Lower Grade cultivation technique in her family clan, despite having other mid-tier techniques available because her lineage was a primary branch.

The Falling Snow True Scripture was a Heaven-Level Upper Grade technique, one of the strongest in the world! It would be considered a treasure anywhere, and even those noble families in the Heavenly Dragon Empire that already possessed Heaven-Level Upper Grade techniques would covet it. Not every technique was suitable for everyone.

Who would consider too many good things a burden?

She and Zhou Heng were very close, having exchanged body fluids countless times, but strictly speaking, their relationship was mainly physical, with her considering herself as a female slave following Zhou Heng.

Putting aside the joke of being a female slave, she could feel that Zhou Heng did not truly love her, his affection was more about possession, a natural instinct of a male to own a female.

Knowing her place, having flirted with countless others for her previous masters, she wasn’t qualified to receive Zhou Heng’s love, being captivated by her body was satisfying enough.

Initially following Zhou Heng out of curiosity, and because he had made a powerful enemy in the Bright Moon Country for her sake. What more could she ask for from a man who went to such lengths?

And after following Zhou Heng, she learned how much pleasure a woman could experience—it was addictive, and she feared and loved it more, never wanting to leave this man.

She wasn’t asking for much, just to always feel this way was enough!

But Zhou Heng gave her a surprise, casually tossing a Heaven-Level technique to her as if it was a local chronicle you could buy anywhere on the street.

"This isn’t anything special!" Zhou Heng said nonchalantly; he genuinely wasn’t too concerned.

"Little man, I love you to death!" Xiao Huoshui lunged into Zhou Heng’s arms, her voluptuous body burning with passion. She squeezed tightly against him, as if wanting to merge into one with him.

"Master, ravage your servant hard!" She tilted her pretty face up, her face flushed with desire, and her seductive eyes seeming to ooze water.

Such immense feeling and passion could only be released by the love and desire of a man and a woman at the peak of their arousal.

"Master, come and take your servant too. If I get literally killed by the master, I would only be happy!" Orchid Concobine also shook her plump buttocks suggestively, looking at Zhou Heng with a desire-filled gaze.

Even Xiao Huoshui hadn’t expected this, let alone Orchid Concubine. She never dreamed Zhou Heng would toss a Heaven-Level Upper Grade technique to her for cultivation!

A Heaven-Level Upper Grade technique!

For such a technique, Nangong Hong and Nangong Changkong would even be willing to sell their butts!

Yet she got it without even asking!

She was deeply moved; this bandit wasn’t all that bad!

"Stop fawning!" Zhou Heng smacked her on the buttocks, leaving Orchid Concubine yelping in pain, quickly covering her plump bottom with both hands.

Bandits will be bandits, to think they would have any conscience is totally absurd!

Orchid Concubine nodded timidly, once again assuming the appearance of a wronged young wife, but her heart was filled with excitement and joy.

Heaven Level Upper Grade Technique! Heaven Level Upper Grade!

Zhou Heng told the two women to study the Falling Snow True Scripture first, while he himself picked up another book that had been under that technique.

It wasn’t a cultivation technique or a martial arts technique, but rather something resembling a diary. It was written by Ma Buqian, recording some of the ancient relics and dangerous places he had visited during his lifetime.

Zhou Heng found this even more interesting, carefully flipping through it as if he were reliving Ma Buqian’s life.

"So, that Falling Snow True Scripture was obtained by Ma Buqian in the Three Yang Ancient Relic! A peerless Heavenly Girl appearing as a spirit? What a joke!" he said as he flipped through the pages, shaking his head repeatedly, calling it absurd.

It turned out that Ma Buqian had seen a Heavenly Girl appear in the sky while at the Three Yang Ancient Relic, a beauty beyond what this world could hold, which completely captivated his martial heart, leaving him enamored and distracted!

Because of this, despite his good native abilities and having obtained a Heaven Level Upper Grade Technique, he remained stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm for his entire life, unable to take the crucial step to form a deity within himself!

The transition from the Spirit Sea to the Nascent Soul is a monumental transformation for martial artists, comparable to moving from the Body Refinement Realm to the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Before Nascent Soul, a martial artist creates a cold inner world, devoid of any life force. But with Nascent Soul, one needs to form a Divine Fetus in the core of this inner world, nurturing the life and deities within!

In the Nascent Soul Realm, having a deity within oneself, one transcends the mortal realm in the strictest sense and can be regarded as a Half-step Immortal!

Of course, this half-step can also be divided into many smaller steps. One’s power might still be vastly inferior to a real immortal’s.

Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, the formation is naturally of one’s own Divine Fetus!

But Ma Buqian’s martial heart was captivated, his thoughts entirely filled with the stunning beauty of that Heavenly Girl, whom he revered as a Goddess. With such a mindset, how could he possibly form his own deity within?

Sadly, otherwise, even if Ma Buqian couldn’t have become a true Demi-Immortal of the Divinity Transformation Realm, breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm should have been a certainty.

"A peerless Heavenly Girl? I must experience this for myself if I get the chance! Ma Buqian went into the Three Yang Ancient Land at only the Open Heaven Realm, but a martial artist like him, with firm conviction and his own path, how could he be easily swayed?"

"This could be a major trial, or a great opportunity!"

"However, my current primary goal is still to break into the Heaven-Opening Realm, return to Cold Blue Country to take down Liu Qingxuan and Nangong Changkong, those two old men, then go to Bright Moon Country to bring my mother back for a family reunion!"

Zhou Heng put away Ma Buqian’s diary and then began looking through the other pills, but the result was disappointing.

— None of these pills could directly enhance his cultivation level; they were all for comprehending major realms.

This was quite normal; what truly troubled martial artists was never the accumulation of power but the comprehension of the realms needed for breakthroughs! For instance, breaking through the Land Cleaving Realm could grant an additional three hundred years of lifespan. At most, one would need about fifty years for cultivating one’s power, with the rest of the time spent on breaking through minor and major realms.

With the help of Spirit Stones, the time needed for cultivating power could be further reduced.

Zhou Heng, a freak of nature who had inherited the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, never faced the issue of realm constraints; his only trouble was the accumulation of cultivation levels.

Accumulation means exactly that—gathering little by little over time, a time-consuming affair!

Zhou Heng stored these pills away. He was not a stingy person; if his father, Xiao Huoshui, An Luochen, or Lin Jianchen encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation, he would not hesitate to help them, even Orchid Concubine, since they were his people.

He was never stingy with his own people.

Zhou Heng took the Falling Snow True Scripture, and after only reading it three times, he had memorized it exactly. He passed the cultivation technique back to Xiao Huoshui and the other woman to continue their study, while he began his own comprehension.

A Heaven Level Upper Grade Technique was naturally much more profound than a Middle Grade Earth Level Moonshadow Heart Jue, which was why Xiao Huoshui and the other woman were still struggling to grasp it. But for Zhou Heng, who cultivated the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, this was a trivial matter.

Ideas of the cultivation method opened clearly in his mind, insights sprang forth, and he unconsciously sat cross-legged, using the heart method of the Falling Snow True Scripture to stimulate the circulation of spiritual power, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

After one full Circulation Cycle of the technique, Zhou Heng opened his eyes and revealed a hint of joy.

He had underestimated the Heaven Level Upper Grade Technique!

Compared to the Moonshadow Heart Jue, the Falling Snow True Scripture increased the speed of absorbing spiritual energy by six to seven times!

He was currently in the Medium Period of the Third Layer Heaven of the Land Cleaving Realm, theoretically needing four to five years to reach the Peak of the Third Layer Heaven and be eligible to challenge the Open Heaven Realm. But with the cultivation of the Falling Snow True Scripture, it would take less than a year!

With the help of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, this time could even be reduced to two or three months!

In two or three months, he would break directly into the Heaven-Opening Realm and then return to Cold Blue Country to give Nangong Changkong and Liu Qingxuan a surprise! (To be continued.
