Chapter 763: Divine Power Swallows Heaven

The Taotie Method is very dangerous; those not of my clan cannot practice it.

If others try to practice it, there's only one outcome; you brat, don't be curious—sometimes curiosity kills people.

I would definitely let others practice it, better if they die; you brat are still decent, and I can't bear to see you die, after all I'll need your help for revenge in the future.

Heishanyang chattered on, summarizing in one point: do not practice the Taotie Method. Chen Chuyang may study it and contemplate it, but must not practice it.

If anyone practices it, they won't make a sound; Heishanyang doesn't want Chen Chuyang to die. Staying by Chen Chuyang's side gives it plenty of resources—pills are abundant, no need to worry about that. Most importantly, this brat gave it hope; perhaps in the future they can go to the outer world together.

The debt from those years must be settled; revenge must be taken.

And Chen Chuyang is its hope; alone, it would be hard to exact revenge.

"Do you also have someone you fear?"

Chen Chuyang teased, "Aren't you fearless of heaven and earth?"

Heishanyang was choked, gave Chen Chuyang a cold stare, and sighed deeply: "That person is different; he's a true Strong One, beyond my ability to defeat. Even at my peak, I wasn't his match. After all these years, his strength may have become even more terrifying."

"I want revenge, and I can only rely on you, brat. If we act together, there's still hope."

"So, Chen Chuyang, you brat must not die; at least before I get my revenge, you cannot get into trouble."

If it were earlier, Heishanyang would have wanted Chen Chuyang to practice the Taotie Method—death would have been fine, a clean end.

The problem now is that if this brat dies, I die with him; his life controls mine, our souls linked. Heishanyang doesn't want to die, nor can he let Chen Chuyang die.

When it concerns its own life, it naturally cannot be careless.

"I think you're afraid you'll die together with me, right?"

Chen Chuyang lowered his head and laughed.

Heishanyang hung his head, not denying—it was indeed the case.

Everyone else can die; only this brat must not.

"Brat, whatever the reason, you cannot die."

"The Place: Tianwaishijie is vast, with countless Strong Ones, very suitable for you."

"When the time comes, once you have self-protection abilities, perhaps you can venture into the outer world. Then I'll give you a Dharma Protector, guaranteeing you'll thrive like a fish in water."

Heishanyang said confidently, his enemy is very powerful; he won't provoke that enemy, but other people he is still not afraid of.

If I can't beat them, I can still outrun them.

Chen Chuyang gave him a deep look and said, "Better drop it; you cause too much trouble. I'm afraid you'll bring me a huge mess later."

"Nonsense," Heishanyang, flustered, roared loudly, "Brat, don't slander me; I'm the most well-behaved."

"When have I ever caused you trouble?"

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "Now there's none, but that doesn't mean there won't be later. The outer world is too dangerous; I don't want to be trapped by you."

Heishanyang: "……"

Seething, it wanted to retort a sentence or two, but in the end said nothing.

Chen Chuyang's words weren't without reason; this brat is too petty— even if he reaches the outer world, he might just curl up somewhere, quietly practice for centuries, then slowly venture out to explore.

That would be too meaningless; to grow quickly, one must constantly raid and acquire resources, then rise swiftly.

"Brat, no matter what you say, I stick to my words: do not practice the Taotie Method."

"Fine, I know what's at stake."

"Brat, don't act recklessly, and don't think I'm exaggerating; everyone who practices the Taotie Method, human or beast, has died—none escaped."

Heishanyang chased after him, repeatedly uttering the same line.

Chen Chuyang finally returned to his room, refusing to let him follow. Heishanyang, helpless, lay at the courtyard by the room's doorway and stayed.

It will keep an eye on Chen Chuyang, ready to stop him at crucial moments.

This person is too crazy; once decided, he'll keep... researching.

Cannot be careless.

Inside the room.

Chen Chuyang sat down and began studying this technique.

Beast techniques— he has several in hand, none catch his eye.

The Taotie Method is a technique of the Black Mountain Goat Clan, passed down through bloodlines; its value is obvious.

The rank cannot be low; with such a technique, Chen Chuyang has no reason not to study it.

Perhaps he can comprehend something, especially the Black Mountain Goat's signature innate talent; Chen Chuyang is eager.

"The Taotie Method, the Taotie's divine powers, are all useful."

"Heishanyang holds many secrets; they must be constantly excavated."

"Also its body— when there's time, it must be thoroughly studied. If we can derive the Great Blood Rebirth Divine Ability from it, my safety will be guaranteed."

The Great Blood Rebirth Divine Ability is what Chen Chuyang desires most; other divine abilities are secondary.

It's a life-saving divine ability and key to whether he can leave Longshe Shan. Later, if he departs this world for the outer world, he must have a fallback; Chen Chuyang doesn't want to die out there.

The outer world is very dangerous; he has always prioritized safety.

"Grasping Dripping Blood Rebirth is no easy feat."

"Even with my comprehension, don't even think you can…"

Step by step.

He starts by researching and comprehending the Taotie Method; Chen Chuyang delves deep, body and mind intoxicated.

His body moves, practicing the Hunyuan Dao Scripture; his true Qi circulates automatically, enhancing itself.

Half a month passes.

Heishanyang lay at the doorway, unwilling to enter, yet unable to go in.

Anxious, it paced back and forth, unable to stay calm.

In the past few days, it could pretend not to care about anything, remaining very calm.

Afterward, each day was torment.

"That kid hasn't come out yet; could it really be that he's cultivated the Technique: Taotie Method?"

"With that kid's talent and comprehension, half a month is enough for him to get started; no, I can't keep waiting."

"If that kid really goes crazy, wouldn't I be doomed as well?"

Heishanyang walked forward, reached the door, wanted to push it open, then stopped.

Remaining in place, he still couldn't take a step.

Staring at the gate before him, that layer of Formation protected it.

"Or, wait a bit longer; Chen Chuyang this kid is so afraid of death, he won't act recklessly."

"Right, he definitely won't act recklessly; this kid is greedy for life and fears death, cherishes his life greatly, impossible for him to take risks."

"I definitely have a problem with my cultivation, causing my mind to become disordered."

Heishanyang stepped back two steps, then stopped again.

Not going forward, not retreating.

Standing in place, his eyes flickered.

"Huh?"

Heishanyang suddenly lifted his head, staring at the room ahead; a special fluctuation came from inside.

The fluctuation of a divine ability, a very familiar divine ability.

It seemed somewhat similar to its natal divine ability.

"Devouring Divine Ability? That kid really cultivated the Technique: Taotie Method?"

"Chen Chuyang really went crazy?"
