Chapter 634: Chapter 627: Perfection of the Dharma Method

Ye Fangxian and Yan Song had just stepped into Medicine King Valley when their figures vanished from view.

All around the territory, many heads peeked out.

Previously, Ye Fangxian’s loud shout had already spread in all directions in search of the hidden Medicine King Valley.

Afterward, when that speck of white light fell, its powerful presence thundered through the sky, flattening nearly half of the region.

With such a grand display of power, it was certainly impossible for the anomaly in this area to escape notice.

In fact, as soon as Ye Fangxian’s shout was heard, quite a few cultivators had already been drawn to this place to investigate.

In other territories, the presence of True Immortal and True Demon level might not mean much, but within the West Barbarian Mountain Territory, they were definitely considered among the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Those around who spied on them, hindered by their inadequate strength, could only watch Ye Fangxian from afar; they simply didn’t dare to come too close.

The scene where that white light nearly killed Ye Fangxian in an instant had been witnessed by many.

Seeing Ye Fangxian’s breaths growing faint, with his last gasp imminent, a thought had arisen in the hearts of many to kick a man while he was down and loot a burning house.

After all, the inheritance left behind by a deceased True Immortal or True Demon level figure was an enormous treasure to those who still lingered in the Nine Realms of cultivation.

Unfortunately, with the reemergence of Medicine King Valley and the clear presence of the True Immortal level Yan Song, regardless of the various thoughts those watching nearby harbored, they had to keep them pent up inside.

“Less than a century has passed, and Medicine King Valley has reappeared; are they preparing to emerge into the world again?”

“That Ye Fangxian from before, along with the person who appeared afterward—they already possess at least two True Immortal level powerhouses.”

“In the present West Barbarian Mountain Territory, forces with a True Immortal at their helm are few and far between. The emergence of Medicine King Valley—I don’t know if it will prove to be a blessing or a curse for us.”

“In these recent years, if one were to talk about the most powerful force, it would undoubtedly be the Bloodthirsty Sect, capable of assimilating the Five Thunders Sect, which also possessed a True Immortal. Perhaps the hidden strength of the Bloodthirsty Sect might be able to contend against Medicine King Valley.”

“Two tigers cannot share one mountain; if these two great forces were to start a war, the peace that has lasted for many years in the West Barbarian Mountain Territory will certainly be disrupted. At that time, what should we, the smaller forces, do?”

“When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; even if these two great forces truly do start a war, why should we be afraid? It’s easier to fish in troubled waters—it is only in times of chaos that true heroes can emerge!”

…

Though those watching nearby were keeping their distance, their numbers were far from small.

Even though Yan Song had taken Ye Fangxian back into Medicine King Valley and they had no further presence here, these onlookers still dared not come too close.

Those acquainted with each other gathered together, discussing the possible chain reactions that the reemergence of Medicine King Valley might trigger.

Some were filled with anxiety, sighing heavily, while others wore expressions of disappointment, lamenting the situation; still others, those who reveled in chaos, were visibly excited, taking pleasure in the potential disaster.

Outside the gates of the Bloodthirsty Sect, atop Black Water Immortal Mountain.

Chen Hai, dissatisfied with the shortcomings of the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger after testing it, returned to the Cultivation Hall to start refining and perfecting this newly created Dharma Method.

Ye Fangxian’s return and the emergence of Medicine King Valley had been mentioned to him by Ye Qingqing when she came to see him.

However, Chen Hai had not really taken these matters to heart.

Time passed quietly, and the initially rudimentary Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, with its many imperfections, was being incessantly refined and perfected, slowly diminishing.

Originally, this Slaughter Skill was like a cannonball being fired; its power was terrifying, indeed, but once unleashed, it was out of control, and even Chen Hai could not know where it would fall.

Now, the Dharma Method created by Chen Hai, with a strand of his own will infused into it, had become like a guided missile, not only able to strike wherever he pointed, but also enabling him, through that strand of will, to clearly sense the real-time visuals of the target upon impact.

Of course, this was just a metaphor. In terms of power, the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger was insurmountably stronger than a missile.

Once the target was locked on, the white light from Chen Hai’s Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger obeyed his command as though it were alive.

“This Slaughter Skill can now be considered barely usable.”

“From now on, let this skill serve as the inherited Slaughter Skill of my Black Water Lineage!”

Within the great hall, Chen Hai slowly stood up.

He didn’t go outside; right in this grand hall, he reached toward the void in front of him and lightly tapped with his finger.

In an instant, the entire hall suddenly dimmed, all of the light converging on his fingertip, transforming into a streak of white radiance that slashed through the void and shot off into the distance.

In less than a breath’s time, ripples danced across the void before him, and then, the white radiance burst forth from the void, circled around Chen Hai twice, and then extinguished, vanishing without a trace.

This was a prime example of having full command as if one with one’s own limbs.

The result was nearly identical to his expectations; Chen Hai nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he sent a message through psychic transmission into the ears of his First Disciple, Zhang Tianci.

“Master, has the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger you created finally been perfected?” With a face full of excitement, Zhang Tianci hurriedly arrived inside the Cultivation Hall.

Standing a few steps away from Chen Hai, he respectfully performed a salutation toward him.

Over the years, Zhang Tianci had gone through countless trials as Chen Hai tested the might of the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger.

A single tap that could kill a person thousands of miles away?

Such a Slaughter Skill had transcended the realm of Secret Techniques and could fully be declared a Divine Skill.

Apart from Chen Hai himself, the person who understood the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger the most was undoubtedly Zhang Tianci.

He had long coveted this method of Divine Skill.

Unfortunately, his master, Chen Hai, had always felt that the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger was still imperfect with some flaws. Every time Chen Hai experimented with this method, Zhang Tianci could only watch eagerly from the side. He wanted to inherit this method, but the timing had never quite been right.

“It’s more or less complete; it’s now usable.”

“Now, I will pass on this Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger to you!” Chen Hai said with a smile, nodding his head.

His First Disciple had never learned anything from him before.

Finally having created a rather decent Divine Skill, it was about time he imparted it to Zhang Tianci, truly living up to his role as Master.

After all, the man had cultivated by his side for many years, dutifully calling him Master all this while.

Without anything worthwhile to pass on to him, Chen Hai himself felt somewhat remorseful.

After speaking, Chen Hai lightly placed a finger on Zhang Tianci’s forehead.

Divine Skills of this kind could only be understood intuitively and could not be conveyed through words. As the creator, Chen Hai could transmit it to others, but he had no way of passing it down through writing.

High-tier cultivation knowledge was mostly like this, beyond the capability of ordinary objects to carry.

Unless Chen Hai came upon some rare treasure capable of bearing and passing on such methods, if he wanted to transmit the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger to others, he could only do so personally.

“Master is mighty, congratulations to you, Master, and my felicitations!”

Feeling the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger cultivation method surge into his mind, Zhang Tianci was thrilled and respectfully kowed several times to Chen Hai.

“Go back to your cave mansion and cultivate properly!”

“I hope you master this method soon. You are my First Disciple; you must not tarnish my reputation!”

Chen Hai smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, instructing Zhang Tianci.

“Yes! I will go back to cultivate now!” After assenting, Zhang Tianci stood up and left.

Medicine King Valley, within a cave mansion.

“The last time I faced the Heavenly Punishment, I was grievously injured.”

“After so many years of recuperation, I have only just recovered.”

Ye Fangxian, seated cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

“The humiliation I suffered back then, it’s time to reclaim it!”

“Sea King, you are about to face true despair. Are you ready?” He stood up and walked purposefully out of the cave mansion.
