467: Chapter 467 The Holy Master of the Taihu Clan Points Out the Shortcomings in the Cultivation of Cang Songzi and Others

Cang Songzi's pupils contracted sharply.

He suddenly realized what Xu Ruyu was about to say.

Sure enough, seeing the change on Cang Songzi's face, Xu Ruyu smiled and asked, "Tell me, as the Saint Teacher of the Taihu Clan, should I point out the flaws in the Cultivation of you three one by one?

After all, no one should understand the Cultivation Techniques carved on those transmission monuments better than I do."

As soon as Xu Ruyu said this, Cang Songzi's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Cang Songzi, if I'm not mistaken, you must be practicing the Mystic Moon Condensation Art, right?"

Cang Songzi's body shuddered violently once again.

Seeing this, Xu Ruyu knew he hadn't misjudged and continued, "This Cultivation Technique should be one of the oldest legacies of your Taihu Clan. It emphasizes compressing, purifying, and condensing the power of moonlight to form Moon-Essence True Yuan.

You've practiced this technique for at least several thousand years. On the surface, you have indeed reached a very high Realm, making you one of the top experts in the Taihu Clan. However—"

He paused, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and his voice turned cold. "This Cultivation Technique has a fatal flaw.

When condensing the power of moonlight, it forms an imperceptible 'Moonlight Crystal' within the Dantian.

Normally, this crystal doesn't affect Cultivation; it even enhances the technique's power, making you feel stronger than others of the same rank.

However, once it encounters spiritual energy fluctuations of a certain frequency, these crystals will instantly explode, shattering your Dantian to pieces."

Cang Songzi's face turned completely ashen.

His lips quivered, his hand holding the soul suppressing ruler trembled, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Because what Xu Ruyu said was the truth.

That flaw was the greatest secret of his thousands of years of Cultivation, and also his greatest hidden danger.

He had been searching for a solution, trying countless methods and scouring numerous ancient texts, but he had never found one.

He thought this secret was known only to him—only Heaven, Earth, and himself knew.

He never expected that Xu Ruyu would know as well!

"You... how do you..."

His voice was shaking, and he could barely form a complete sentence.

Xu Ruyu smiled. "I've said it before: I was the one who completed your Taihu Clan's transmission monuments.

I know every single word of those Cultivation Techniques by heart.

Their strengths, their flaws, their hidden dangers—I know them better than you do yourselves.

You thought you hid it well, but in my eyes, your fatal weakness is crystal clear."

He looked toward Cang Bozi, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening. Cang

Baizi felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze and instinctively took half a step back.

"Cang Bozi, you practice the Nine Revolutions Overlord Body Art, don't you?"

Cang Bozi's body suddenly stiffened.

Xu Ruyu continued, "This Cultivation Technique focuses on tempering the Physical Body and attaining the Dao through strength.

You've cultivated for thousands of years, and your Physical Body has indeed become incredibly powerful; every punch and kick possesses the might to crumble mountains and crack stones. However—"

He paused, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes. "While tempering the Physical Body, this technique leaves behind a type of 'internal injury' within the bones.

Such internal injury doesn't manifest normally, and you can't even feel its existence.

But once you circulate your Cultivation Technique with full power, the internal injury will erupt, causing your bones to snap inch by inch, as if your heart were being pierced by ten thousand arrows.

Think about it, when was the last time you exerted your full strength? Did you feel a faint aching in all your bones, as if you were about to fall apart?"

Cang Bozi's expression was incredibly grim. At this moment, this Saint Realm Peak expert's hands were actually trembling slightly, and the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.

He knew that the secrets about his Cultivation that Xu Ruyu had casually mentioned were true.

That internal injury had been his greatest source of anxiety throughout his thousands of years of Cultivation.

Every time he went all out, he would feel intense pain in his bones and would need to recuperate for a long time before recovering.

He had thought this was a normal reaction to the technique, the price of tempering the Physical Body, but he never imagined it was an internal injury!

"Shut up!"

Cang Bozi shouted sternly, his voice filled with terror and rage. "Shut up! Don't say another word!"

Xu Ruyu ignored him and looked toward Cang Yunzi.

Cang Yunzi's face was already as white as paper, and he instinctively retreated two steps.

"Cang Yunzi, you practice the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique, right?"

Cang Yunzi feigned composure, but his tightly furrowed brows betrayed the horror in his heart.

Xu Ruyu continued, "This Cultivation Technique focuses on entering the Dao through dreams and overcoming enemies with illusions.

You've cultivated for thousands of years, and your illusions have indeed reached a level of perfection; with a single thought, you can plunge someone into an endless dreamscape, making them wish they were dead. However—"

"This technique also has a fatal hidden danger.

While practicing, it leaves a 'Dream Brand' within your Sea of Consciousness.

Normally, this brand doesn't affect you, and you can't even feel its existence.

But once you fall into a deep sleep, the brand will activate, making you unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, trapping you forever in a dreamscape from which you can never wake.

Think about it, how long has it been since you've had a peaceful night's sleep? Do you have nightmares every time you fall asleep and wake up feeling exhausted?

Have you ever felt surprised by this—that a Saint Realm Expert would actually dream while sleeping?

Hehe, what you think is dreaming is actually your death warrant!"
