Chapter 46: Success After Success!

After a burst of excitement and reflection, the group quickly calmed down and began discussing how to handle the current mess.

Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng, though subdued, posed a difficult problem regarding their disposition.

After all, they had once been disciples of Taohuadao.

Eventually, after much deliberation,

the group decided to immediately send a messenger using Taohuadao's unique method to notify Huang Yaoshi, who was far away, urging him to return as soon as possible to handle the matter personally.

Until then, Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng, and others would jointly oversee the strict detention of Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng to prevent further trouble.

As for the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual seized from Chen Xuanfeng,

Qu Lingfeng and the others dared not touch it.

They deeply understood its sinister nature and significance, and were well aware of Master's aversion to it.

In the end, they decided Huang Rong should keep the manual on her person.

After all, as the island lord's daughter, she was the most trustworthy custodian.

Ning Chuan had no objection whatsoever.

This was, after all, Taohuadao's family matter—he, an outsider, had no business meddling further.

He had already memorized every word of the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual; his goal had been achieved.

Now, he merely waited for Huang Yaoshi's return to see how he would deal with the two traitors.

After soothing Huang Rong, who remained shaken yet exhilarated by Ning Chuan's display of power,

once she finally fell into exhausted sleep,

Ning Chuan quietly left her quarters and returned to his sea cave.

Night was deep; the waves rolled endlessly.

Ning Chuan sat coiled within the cave, utterly awake.

He began meticulously recalling the contents of the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual he had memorized.

Every character, every illustration, every movement variation, surfaced clearly in his mind.

His prodigious insight activated fully as he delved into deep contemplation and analysis of these refined martial arts.

【You are contemplating Nine Yin White Bone Claw… you understand its power generation technique and claw essence…】

【You are analyzing Crushing Heart Palm… you discern its sinister and ruthless internal qi application…】

【You are studying the Healing Chapter… you master part of the methods for healing and prolonging life…】

Epiphanies continuously rose in his mind; insights into martial arts surged like a spring.

The Nine Yin Manual was indeed a world-renowned martial arts scripture—every technique it recorded contained profound martial truths.

In the following days,

aside from his daily routine of going out to sea once to hunt sea beasts, replenish energy, and continue cultivating the Water Mystic Snake Method to stabilize his Innate Realm,

all his other time was immersed in contemplating the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual.

He focused particularly on those martial arts offering him significant insight.

【You deeply contemplate White Python Whip Art, observing its essence of softness overcoming hardness and whip shadows like a serpent…】

【You combine your own serpent body's flexibility and strength, along with Death Coiling and Divine Dragon Tail Strike…】

【You integrate all three, extracting their essence and discarding their flaws…】

【You create a whip art better suited to your serpent body—Heavenly Serpent Whip!】

Heavenly Serpent Whip!

This newly created martial art was not merely a simple whip technique.

It perfectly incorporated the crushing force of Death Coiling, the explosive power of Divine Dragon Tail Strike, and the agile unpredictability of White Python Whip Art!

Moreover, its power surpassed that of Death Coiling and Divine Dragon Tail Strike alone by several times over!

It could fully unleash Ning Chuan's immense physical strength and the dominance of his Innate true qi!

In short, with Heavenly Serpent Whip, Ning Chuan's close-combat killing ability rose another tier!

【You carefully study Soul-Shifting Great Law, discerning its secrets of influencing others' minds through gaze, voice, and aura…】

【You combine your serpent eyes' uniqueness with the sonic resonance of Heavenly Serpent Chant…】

【You create a unique spiritual Secret Technique for serpents—Heavenly Serpent Gaze!】

Heavenly Serpent Gaze!

This spiritual Secret Technique allows Ning Chuan, through his gaze combined with the specific frequency of Heavenly Serpent Chant, to hypnotize, mentally suppress, and even, against targets with weak mental strength, partially alter their memories!

Though its effect on peers or stronger cultivators is limited, it proves extraordinarily effective against lower-level martial artists or those with weak wills!

This undoubtedly added another eerie and unpredictable weapon to Ning Chuan's arsenal.

【You combine the Tendon Strengthening and Bone Forging Chapter with the Tendon Retraction and Bone Shrinking Method, contemplating their principles of altering tendon and bone structure and controlling body size…】

【You combine this with your serpent's unique skeletal and muscular structure…】

【You create a unique body forging Secret Technique for serpents—Heavenly Serpent Body Forging Art!】

Heavenly Serpent Body Forging Art!

This Secret Technique not only continuously enhances the strength and resilience of Ning Chuan's serpent body, pushing his already formidable physique to new heights,

but more importantly, grants him the ability to control his own body size!

Through special methods, he can expand his serpent body to a terrifying length of over ten meters, exuding immense intimidation!

Simultaneously, he can shrink his body.

Ning Chuan's current serpent form is nearly eight meters long—awkward to move on land and far too conspicuous.

After cultivating Heavenly Serpent Body Forging Art, he can now shrink his body to a maximum of about two meters.

Though still sizable, it is now far more agile than before.

Even, if he were willing, he could completely coil around Huang Rong like an ordinary pet snake, remaining undetected by outsiders.

Having successively created three powerful martial arts and Secret Techniques, Brother Ning Chuan's methods became even more abundant, and his comprehensive strength was greatly enhanced once again!

He could feel that he had taken another step closer to the true path of demon cultivation.

On this day.

Brother Ning Chuan was in the cave, familiarizing himself with the newly mastered Heavenly Snake Body-Forging Technique, attempting to control the changes in his body's size.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the cave.

Immediately after, Huang Rong's clear voice, carrying A trace of solemnity, was heard:

"Brother Ning Chuan! Brother Ning Chuan! Are you inside?"

Brother Ning Chuan's heart stirred; he quickly restored his normal size and swam out of the cave.

He saw Huang Rong standing gracefully at the cave entrance, a Solemn expression on her small face.

"Brother Ning Chuan, I just received news..."

Huang Rong took a deep breath and said, "My father... he has returned!"
