162: Five Emperors' Kung Fu
“Top-tier Cultivation Technique…”
Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still took the Secret Manual.
He looked at the name on the cover,
“The Heavenly Flame Art…”
“Haha, don't let the ordinary name fool you, it’s anything but ordinary!”
A teacher laughed:
“The full name of this Secret Manual should be ‘The Crimson Emperor’s Heavenly Flame Art’, and it is the Cultivation Technique practiced by one of the Five Emperors,”
“Thanks to our school finding some records of the Five Emperors in the Secret Realm, and the library also having another Cultivation Technique of the White Emperor, ‘The Indestructible Tome’, we were able to identify this Five Emperor Cultivation Technique, the Heavenly Flame Art. Otherwise, it would truly have been a pearl cast before swine!”
Su Yuan hadn't heard of such knowledge.
“The Five Emperors… so there are a total of five Cultivation Techniques?” Su Yuan asked curiously.
“Precisely. The Five Emperors are the White Emperor, Green Emperor, Crimson Emperor, Yellow Emperor, and Black Emperor. Among them, the White Emperor’s Cultivation Technique is called ‘The Indestructible Tome’, which is a Metal-element Cultivation Technique. The Green Emperor’s is a Wood-element Cultivation Technique called ‘The Longevity Skill’, and the Crimson Emperor’s is the Fire-element Cultivation Technique ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’. The Yellow Emperor’s is Earth-element…”
“The Longevity Skill?” Su Yuan’s eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.
“Haha, that name certainly sounds imposing, but although this Cultivation Technique is called ‘The Longevity Skill’, it’s not truly possible to achieve eternal life. At most, it can Prolong Life!”
A teacher laughed,
He probably mistakenly thought Su Yuan was surprised by the name ‘The Longevity Skill’,
Which is why he explained it.
“Uh, yes,”
Su Yuan didn't argue. In his heart, a storm was raging.
He wasn't surprised by the name ‘The Longevity Skill’ or thought it could grant eternal life,
But rather, what he was currently Cultivating was precisely ‘The Longevity Skill’.
He had acquired it through a lucky find at an auction, because it had a grey-ranked entry called ‘Seeing Flowers in the Mist’.
No one could see the contents of the Cultivation Technique,
Which is why it was so cheap for him!
“I only knew that ‘The Longevity Skill’ was a top-tier Cultivation Technique, but I never imagined it was the Cultivation Technique of the Green Emperor among the Five Emperors. What incredible Luck!”
Su Yuan secretly marveled in his heart!
He looked at ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’ in his hand and thought for a moment,
“Your school has ‘The Indestructible Tome’, and now you have ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’. Can these two Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques be Cultivated simultaneously?”
Su Yuan asked.
“Of course they can!”
A teacher said excitedly: “This is the wonder of the Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques. The Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques correspond to the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The Five Elements generate each other, and Cultivating them simultaneously can actually enhance their respective effects,”
“If someone could collect all five Cultivation Techniques of the Five Emperors and Cultivate them simultaneously, that would truly be a Heaven-Defying peerless Cultivation Technique that shakes heaven and earth!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Su Yuan secretly nodded in his heart, “Collecting all five Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques, huh… I already have ‘The Longevity Skill’, and now I have ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’. I also know the location of ‘The Indestructible Tome’. Perhaps in the future, it might actually be possible to collect them all…”
“Then… I shall accept it without further ado!”
Su Yuan raised the Cultivation Technique in his hand,
“Of course! Don’t worry, you can read it, but once you’ve memorized the Cultivation Technique, we still need to take the original copy back to hand over to the school!” someone said.
“Naturally!”
Su Yuan nodded,
And then opened the book!
As soon as the book was opened, Su Yuan frowned.
“This Cultivation Technique is indeed profound, it looks so convoluted!”
“Uh, I forgot to mention!”
A teacher said somewhat awkwardly, explaining:
“This Cultivation Technique also has a drawback, which is that it carries a grey-ranked negative entry. Perhaps it’s because the Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques are simply too powerful; ‘The Indestructible Tome’ in our school’s library also carries a grey-ranked entry.”
“Oh?”
Su Yuan was startled,
Speaking of which, his ‘The Longevity Skill’ also originally had a grey-ranked entry, ‘Seeing Flowers in the Mist’. Perhaps all Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques are like this.
Su Yuan infused Qi into the book and looked at it,
An entry information appeared,
「Entry Name」: Obscure and Difficult to Understand
「Entry Rank」: Grey
「Entry Effect」: Appears cryptic and profound, difficult to comprehend.
“So it’s this entry!”
Su Yuan nodded knowingly. No wonder the text looked so obscure.
Actually, he had ‘Taking Advantage of an Opportunity’, which could remove the ‘Obscure and Difficult to Understand’ from the Cultivation Technique,
But this was, after all, someone else’s property,
And ‘Obscure and Difficult to Understand’ was not like ‘Seeing Flowers in the Mist’. While it had some impact, it didn't prevent learning.
“Young Brother Su, there’s no need to rush, take your time, you have plenty of it. We’ll also do some fishing!”
“We’ll sit next to you, to soak in some of your Luck, and also to see if anyone else dares to provoke you!”
Several teachers took out their fishing rods,
They had been in the Dragon Palace Secret Realm for quite some time, and at first, they naturally all thought about fishing for Treasure Fish,
But after several days, they had all caught nothing,
Which is why they decided to venture into the underwater Secret Realm,
Everyone had their fishing gear fully equipped,
They all found a spot to sit down, cast their hooks, and started fishing,
While Su Yuan was immersed in memorizing and learning the Cultivation Technique of ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’!
Even with the negative entry effect,
He had Heaven-Defying Comprehension and a Seven Orifices Exquisite heart,
Learning was still incredibly fast!
Gradually,
He gained much more insight, understanding, and control over ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’.
‘The Longevity Skill’ is of Wood-element, which can Prolong Life, while ‘The Heavenly Flame Art’ is of Fire-element, naturally showing more affinity for flames.
He also comprehended many more flame techniques!
Previously, when he used Nirvana Fire,
He would only blandly let the flames burn!
Now, it was different!
As he learned the Cultivation Technique, a ball of flame rose in his hand,
Then the flame continuously compressed, and he also shaped it,
Turning it into a lotus flower!
At this moment, this lotus flower contained immense firepower. Once it exploded, an area of over ten meters would be engulfed in a sea of fire!
Its power was extraordinary, completely incomparable to the usual power of Nirvana Fire!
“This move is so strong, should I give it a name?”
“How about ‘Buddha’s Fury Fire Lotus’… or ‘Blazing Red Lotus’, or ‘Guanyin…’ Forget it,”
“Just call it whatever!”
Su Yuan didn’t dwell on this issue!
Seeing that an hour had passed,
His gaze shifted from the Cultivation Technique to the fishing line,
“Buzz!”
Under the effect of ‘Never Return Empty-Handed’, the fishing line vibrated precisely after an hour,
Su Yuan yanked the fishing line sharply,
A huge, streamlined fish, weighing dozens of pounds, was pulled out of the water.
“Another Treasure Fish!”
“This shape, streamlined like a knife, must be the legendary Red Silk Knife Fish!”
“Damn it, why is it this kid again!”
“This kid is catching all our Opportunities!”
As Su Yuan caught the Red Silk Knife Fish,
It inevitably aroused some envy and jealousy from his companions, which he could understand.
“Young Brother Su, your Luck is truly… admirable, admirable. Do you perhaps have an entry like ‘Child of Destiny’?”
A teacher exclaimed in amazement.
“Uh, something like that!”
You really guessed it, Su Yuan neither admitted nor denied it,
A teacher next to him said with some envy: “I heard that eating the Red Silk Knife Fish can greatly improve the proficiency of saber techniques, allowing for special comprehension of saber techniques. This is truly a good thing!”
This teacher was a Martial Artist who used a saber.
Su Yuan removed the Red Silk Knife Fish from the hook and said with a smile:
“Not only does it improve saber techniques, but it’s also incredibly delicious. Yesterday I ate a Fire Spirit Fish, and my mouth is still watering,”
“This fish is so big, I can’t finish it alone. Are there any teachers with good cooking skills who can help roast this fish so we can all eat together!”
[The other two Five Emperor Cultivation Techniques will be added when I think of them.]
