CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: SECRET TECHNIQUE OF ONE

"You’re being so kind?" Chen Guan couldn’t believe that Ming Fei would reveal the cultivation technique created by the Emperor Ancestor.

Ming Fei’s eyes showed indignation: "I’ve just now understood why there was a slight crack in the confinement of the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue, allowing me to do certain things from time to time. It’s not a coincidence or a flaw, but a well-designed scheme."

"To escape, I must conceal the true inheritance at all costs and never let anyone easily discover the real place of the inheritance."

"Because of the long passage of time, many originally perfect designs could develop flaws. However, due to my involvement, the designs I created are maintained by me, making them increasingly difficult to detect. The Emperor Ancestor truly had great schemes."

"You make some sense, but what if those who come don’t see through your plot? Wouldn’t the inheritance designed by the Emperor Ancestor be cut off?"

"That’s the true brilliance of the Emperor Ancestor. Without the Eternal Reflection and the Emperor’s Scripture, no one could release me from the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue. With these two, they can restrain me, preventing me from passing on his Secret Technique. He even foresaw that I would destroy the Emperor’s Scripture, allowing the Emperor’s Scripture to continue spreading in the form of the Eternal Reflection..."

The more Ming Fei spoke, the tighter her teeth clenched. She thought everything she did was within the Emperor Ancestor’s calculations.

However, Chen Guan did not think so. Perhaps this was not the true scheme of the Emperor Ancestor, because he released Ming Fei from the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue, not relying on the Eternal Reflection and the Emperor’s Scripture, but on his own Talent of the Spirit of the Cheerleaders.

Unless the Emperor Ancestor could know past and future, this is an unpredictable variable that cannot be calculated.

"Without my Spirit of the Cheerleaders, how would the Emperor Ancestor’s design release Ming Fei from the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue?" Chen Guan couldn’t come up with an answer for a while.

"Even if the Eternal Reflection can restrain you, it’s not an inevitable factor for you to voluntarily speak out the Secret Technique." Chen Guan pondered aloud.

"You’re wrong. Everything is within that scound... within his scheme..." Ming Fei originally wanted to curse the Emperor Ancestor, but stopped halfway, thinking of the existence of the Eternal Reflection, and swallowed the cursing words, continuing, "Because only by passing the Secret Technique of One to you can I abandon my current predicament, break free from you and restore my freedom."

"What does that mean?" Chen Guan was somewhat puzzled.

"I was slain by the Eternal Reflection, forced to survive in the form of Petification. The process of Petification is irreversible. No matter what kind of Secret Spirit, even the supreme existence, once petified as a pet, can only rely on human vitality to live; when the human dies, the pet dies without exception."

Ming Fei gritted her teeth and said, "Only those who have cultivated the Secret Technique of One can possess the miraculous ability to create worlds and reverse life and death. Only when you have mastered the Secret Technique of One can you help me reshape my body and rid me of the identity of a pet. If I don’t assist him in passing on the inheritance, there would be no one with such ability in the world, and I can’t escape. In that case, your death would mean my demise. He gave me hope but placed the power of life and death in your hands, forcing me to assist you in cultivating the Secret Technique of One."

"Is that so?" Chen Guan thought to himself, "There’s one thing Ming Fei probably hasn’t mentioned: the reason the Emperor Ancestor chose her is likely because she possesses the Joyful Technique, which the Emperor’s Scripture left by the Emperor Ancestor can counter, extracting energy from her instead. Thus, she is not only a person left by the Emperor Ancestor to pass on the Secret Technique, but also a Furnace for the inheritors to cultivate with. Ming Fei must have realized this but doesn’t dare to say it and doesn’t want me to discover it."

Chen Guan did not point this out and casually said to Ming Fei, "If what you said is true, once I’ve mastered the Secret Technique of One, I can promise to return your freedom."

"You need to swear a solemn oath for me to believe you." Ming Fei had no other options left and could only gamble on this.

"When I’ve mastered the Secret Technique of One, and have the ability to reshape Ming Fei’s body, I will surely grant her freedom. If I break this oath, let lightning strike me dead," Chen Guan declared with confidence, then looked at Ming Fei and said, "The premise is that the Secret Technique you give me is genuine; if there’s any error, this oath will be nullified."

Ming Fei replied coldly, "The Secret Technique of One was created by him for human cultivation and is only suitable for human cultivation. It is useless to me, and I don’t understand human Secret Techniques, so how could I alter them? You’ll know its authenticity as soon as you practice it. His creation bears significant differences from our Secret Spirit’s techniques. I wouldn’t have the ability to modify it even if I wanted to."

Chen Guan thought Ming Fei’s words made sense, as the Emperor Ancestor collected all the world’s Secret Techniques and spent over thirty years creating this one. It wouldn’t be so easily modified.

Now, Ming Fei and he share a life-and-death relationship. If anything happens to him, Ming Fei won’t survive either.

"Then let’s begin now and let me see what sets the Secret Technique created by the Emperor Ancestor apart," Chen Guan said.

Ming Fei sighed softly and recited the Secret Technique of One to Chen Guan word by word.

Chen Guan silently memorized the Secret Technique that Ming Fei recited, finding it contained hundreds of thousands of words, with many intricacies. Even with Chen Guan’s memory, Ming Fei repeated it several times before he could remember it with precision.

Having memorized it, Chen Guan did not proceed to cultivate it immediately.

Because of the many details in the Secret Technique of One, he wasn’t sure if there might be any consequences from a mistake in cultivation.

Although he had memorized it all, he pretended not to remember it clearly and had Ming Fei repeat it many times. Despite the lengthy text, Ming Fei recited it without a mistake each time.

"If you can’t remember, I can use the Joyful Technique and the Prajna Technique to imprint the Secret Technique directly into your brain." After days of reciting the Secret Technique, Ming Fei was becoming impatient.

"I know of your Joyful Technique, but what effects and practical applications does the Prajna Technique have?" Chen Guan asked.

"The Prajna Technique is a Wisdom Technique, which can grant a person infinite wisdom, instantly understanding and learning any technique they see. There is no Secret Skill in the world that I cannot learn," Ming Fei said proudly.

"So, you’re saying that the Prajna Technique can simulate any Secret Skill?" Chen Guan pondered.

"That’s right." Ming Fei nodded.

Chen Guan was somewhat moved. If this were true, then the Prajna Technique would indeed be invincible, allowing one to master all Secret Skills, effectively giving them mastery over the world’s techniques.

"Are there any limitations?" Chen Guan asked again, as he did not believe that the Prajna Technique could freely simulate all Secret Skills.

"Normal Secret Skills can be simulated with a glance, while Unparalleled Secret Skills and certain unique skills require me to endure the Secret Skill with my body once before they can be simulated," Ming Fei responded.

Chen Guan used the Blood Hand Seal, and after letting Ming Fei see it once, she indeed immediately executed the Blood Hand Seal perfectly, except it was much weaker.

This was because Ming Fei herself was only Level 1, so naturally, her power couldn’t match Chen Guan, who was already Level 7.
