73: The White Lotus Begins the Turmoil (Part 2)

In a flash, another three months passed.

Chen Cuo had already begun to Cultivate the Water and Fire Lotus Skill. This Cultivation Technique truly lived up to its name as a divine skill, with its principle of water and fire compatibility perfectly aligning with the concept of Yin and Yang unity.

Now, he could finally complete the entire Five Elements Five Spirits Art. With four Innate Cultivation Techniques, Five Elements attributes, Five Spirits as carriers, Innate Primordial unity was within reach.

The Tiger Demon primarily focused on killing, embodying the metal attribute, with the "Big Dipper Seven Kill Sword Scripture" as its foundation; the Spirit Monkey primarily focused on control, embodying the wood attribute, with the "Myriad Wood Evergreen Art" as its core; the Snake Demon embodied water, the Spirit Crane embodied fire, allowing for water and fire compatibility, symbolizing the auspicious union of Dragon and Phoenix; the Mantis unified, with the Earth Origin Skill as its root, the Mountain Moving Skill connecting all orifices, and the "Yin and Yang East Unification Art" integrating the form of great transformation.

After completing the plan, Chen Cuo Cultivated diligently every day, and his strength improved significantly. This time, Chen Cuo did not suppress his Realm, directly Breakthrough to Acquired Perfection. He only needed to Cultivate all the Cultivation Techniques to Perfection, unite them, and Innate would be achieved.

However, this would likely take a long time. Although Cultivation Techniques tend to become faster as one approaches the end, these are all top-tier Cultivation Techniques, and each one would probably take about a year.

And most importantly, Chen Cuo sought Perfection and seamless integration, which naturally meant fully grasping the true meaning of the Cultivation Technique, not just achieving a Realm and proficiency.

Moreover, after becoming Innate, there would certainly be some restrictions. For Chen Cuo, the Iron Eagle Gang also faced constant problems, and he couldn't let go too quickly. This was his worldly connection, and he couldn't easily abandon it. He had to ensure that Gu Pang and the others truly grew up before he could rest assured.

After finishing writing various development plans, Chen Cuo put away his paper and pen and nodded with satisfaction. In his previous life, he had also practiced calligraphy, but he had never reached his current Realm.

Now, he could write any font he desired with ease, his Qi and blood full, his spirit and bone perfect, having formed his own unique System.

This was the advantage of the System panel: one reaps what one sows, without regression or forgetting!

It could also record, modify, and refine.

If it were his previous life, how could he have developed such powerful skills, even transcending the ordinary?

After a moment of emotion, Chen Cuo was about to go out on patrol. This was one of his few hobbies besides Cultivation, and it also served as a reminder to himself not to forget his original aspirations, to remember when he was weak, and how patrolling the streets every day was his happiest time.

Unfortunately, the brother who brought him into the Gang died, along with his first boss, during the war with the North Dipper Gang.

"Boss, Boss! There's a letter for you!" Just as Chen Cuo got into the carriage, Gu Pang scurried over, immediately diving into the carriage.

Now, Gu Pang and Ding Xiang, the three of them, managed the Gang's internal affairs, wielding considerable power and authority.

It was only in front of him that they remained as they were before.

"My letter? Who brought it?" Chen Cuo asked.

Then he opened it and saw a circular symbol on it. It seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before?

"I'm not sure who it was. A child handed it to my subordinate. He said it absolutely had to be given to our Gang Leader, to you!"

"I already asked the child. He said a person in black clothes gave it to him," Gu Pang quickly said.

"Man in black!" Chen Cuo muttered to himself, then opened the letter to read it. He didn't know until he read it, and what he read was shocking.

The White Lotus Sect had officially launched its rebellion, already occupying the eastern part of Wuya Prefecture, Longchuan Dao, which was only two hundred li away from Taiheng Mountain. They controlled two prefectures and had seized Baiyuan Pass, the essential route from the prefecture capital to Taiheng Mountain!

As for this letter, it was sent to him by Yue Wudao, who Chen Cuo called his old friend.
