Chapter 186: New Feather Chapter

Fuji listened to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's expectant questions and replied, "How could it be that fast?"

Feeling their skeptical gazes, she quickly explained, "I've been weak for too long, devouring this guy completely takes time."

"Earlier, I only temporarily suppressed this guy."

"But it's like ants gnawing at a chicken leg—swallowing it whole... how could it be finished in a single meal?"

Fuji continued, "First, help me fully devour this guy. Once I digest his Evil God's sanctum, then I can enhance the potential of both of you."

So, following Fuji's guidance, Zhang Yu pressed the black orb that Fuji had transformed into onto the bear doll's head again.

After about an hour, the bear doll before them suddenly shattered, turning into a pile of ash that dissipated into the air.

"I need to sleep for a day or two. Once I finish digesting..."

Fuji only had time to leave this sentence before falling into a deep slumber, completely unresponsive to any calls from Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Over the next two days, the black orb formed from Fuji seemed to have turned into a lifeless object. Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen could only cultivate and earn money while waiting for Fuji to wake up.

During this time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen also checked the news and online sources for updates on Song Xu's situation.

However, from the news, they only saw reports about the pirated cultivation method incident, with no information about Evil Gods or their followers.

Bai Zhenzhen said nervously, "The commotion from your last move backfiring on those six cultists was huge. Many people around saw them jumping down and their bodies on fire."

"Could someone suspect it's an Evil God incident? The True Gods might have already started investigating?"

Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help adding, "Why don't we go back to the apartment where the Evil God used to live? To see if anyone is investigating..."

"Hm?" Zhang Yu glanced at Bai Zhenzhen and thought to himself, Ah Zhen really lacks composure. It looks like she's not used to committing crimes, immediately making the mistake of a suspect returning to the scene to observe.

"What difference does it make whether we look or not?" Zhang Yu said. "We've done everything we can. If someone really starts investigating, it's beyond our power to stop them."

"Instead of worrying, it's better to focus on improving our strength."

Zhang Yu clenched his fist, feeling the mana inside him that had already surpassed 90 points and was growing more turbulent by the day.

"In Kunxu, after all, the stronger you are, the more money you make, and the more money you have, the safer you are."

The deathly silence of Fuji lasted until the evening of the third day.

With a series of groans coming from within the orb, Fuji's voice rang out with immense satisfaction, "What a relief!"

She laughed heartily and said, "Today I have re-gathered my sanctum and once again ascended the righteous path of an Evil God! In the days to come, I will surely reach the peak once more and stand atop Kunxu!"

Hearing Fuji stir, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who had been cultivating in their room, immediately focused their attention on her.

Zhang Yu snatched up the orb and said, "So? Can you enhance my potential now?"

Feeling the channeled energy surging in Zhang Yu's palm, Fuji quickly said, "Hold on, hold on. I'll do it for you right away."

As she spoke, Zhang Yu felt a cold and sinister power rushing out from the black orb that was Fuji, traveling up his arm, shoulder, neck... and all the way into his sea of consciousness.

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt a sharp sting in his palm.

Opening his palm, he saw a transparent symbol forming there. As the sinister power from the black orb grew more intense, the symbol was visibly turning black.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's like the symbol that appeared when Yu Shu first came into being, only more complex now."

As the symbol turned completely black, Yu Shu appeared before Zhang Yu and slowly opened.

The first page was still the table of contents, and the characters "Prologue" in the first line were still clearly visible.

But now, the originally blurry line of text below the prologue began to gradually become clear.

Zhang Yu stared closely, murmuring in his heart, "Chapter One, Chain Technique Diagram."

Then, Yu Shu rustled without the wind, and its pages automatically flipped to the section of Chapter One, the Chain Technique Diagram, following Zhang Yu's intent.

Thirty-Six Forms of Body Strengthening, Crimson Marrow Primal Qi, Dispersing Hands, High School Basic Sword Technique, Heaven's Martial Mind Refining Art...

All the cultivation methods Zhang Yu had practiced were listed one by one.

Beneath these listed methods was a huge black scroll.

When Zhang Yu tried to focus his intent on one of these methods, he found he could drag them around just like in the Yu Shu prologue.

So Zhang Yu dragged up the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Strengthening and tried to place it into the black scroll below to see what would happen.

As the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Tempering fell into the scroll, this technique immediately transformed into a white star landing in the black scroll, like a star twinkling in the night sky.

And under the star formed by the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Tempering, Zhang Yu saw three lines of text.

Elementary - High School Saint Body (1/6)

Advanced - High School Saint Body (1/8)

Ultimate - High School Saint Body (1/10)

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, momentarily unable to determine what this meant.

Then he tried dragging different techniques into the night sky and discovered that at most ten techniques could be dragged in. And after each technique turned into a star hanging in the night sky, three lines of text would appear.

For example, the Elementary, Advanced, and Ultimate High School Saint Body of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Tempering.

Another example: the Elementary, Advanced, and Ultimate Martial Dao Saint Embryo of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

Gradually, Zhang Yu also understood the meaning behind it.

"The effect of this technique-linking chart is to link different techniques together to form a set effect, right?"

Zhang Yu decided to call this situation "technique sets."

"Each technique set requires six techniques to produce the first set effect, eight for the second set effect, and ten for the third set effect."

And techniques like Zhang Yu's Thirty-Six Forms of Body Tempering, Basic Heart Refining Method, and Basic Breathing Method all showed the High School Saint Body technique set.

However, for Basic Heart Refining Method and Basic Breathing Method, the "High School Saint Body" below these two techniques was displayed in gray.

Zhang Yu speculated in his heart: "Is it because I haven't leveled up these two basic techniques much, and neither has been upgraded to level 10?"

Aside from the High School Saint Body technique set, for which he could assemble three techniques, Zhang Yu found that the technique set with the most techniques he could assemble was called the Perfect Attendance Beggar.

No mistake, one chapter, one release, inner content, at one look.

The techniques included in it are Digging Palm, Crane Claw, Race Car Leg, and Elevator Soar.

"The Perfect Attendance Beggar doesn't sound like anything good just by the name. I'll pass."

"High School Saint Body sounds pretty strong, but..."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then looked more longingly at the technique set of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen: Martial Dao Saint Embryo.

And there was also the technique set of Dragon-Elephant Collapsing Mountain Palm and Back-Dragon Overturning Hill Hand: Descendants of All Dragons.

There was also the technique set of Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Art: Heavenly Martial War Heart, and the technique set of Wasteland Bull Soul Suppression Heart Art and Crippled Bull Self-Sacrifice Heart Art: Great Sage Inheritor.

"Does the 'Great Sage' in 'Great Sage Inheritor' refer to the Wasteland Bull Great Sage who created the Wasteland Bull Soul Suppression Heart Art and Crippled Bull Self-Sacrifice Heart Art?"

"Hmm, Martial Dao Saint Embryo, Descendants of All Dragons, Heavenly Martial War Heart, Great Sage Inheritor—these technique sets look powerful at a glance."

"But what other techniques do these technique sets require?"

"It can't be that I only know which technique set a technique belongs to after I've mastered it, right? Wouldn't it take forever to assemble a technique set that way?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but slightly frown. He picked up his phone and started browsing the technique purchase website.

Fuji and Bai Zhenzhen, who were nearby, had been observing Zhang Yu ever since his potential was awakened.

Seeing Zhang Yu's expressions—sometimes puzzled, sometimes excited, sometimes frowning—the human and the deity were both filled with confusion.

Fuji thought to herself: "It's just awakening potential. Why does this guy look like he's watching a video, with such rich expressions? What exactly is his potential?"

Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask: "Yu Zi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm great." Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Never been better."

Zhang Yu scanned the technique purchase website on the screen. Every time he finished reading the introduction of a technique, the technique set for that technique would appear in his mind.

He thought to himself: "Although it's still quite troublesome to search, at least there's a goal now."

"No... that's not right. I can't search like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhang Yu looked at the High School Saint Body technique set and its three basic techniques, then directly searched for High School basic techniques on the shopping website. Instantly, he found several techniques belonging to the High School Saint Body set.

"It should be the same for other techniques. I should look for similar techniques based on the name and the type of techniques included."

Bai Zhenzhen and Fuji watched from the side as Zhang Yu alternated between smiles and worries, scrolling through his phone for a full half hour before reluctantly stopping.

Zhang Yu summarized in his heart, "Sigh, not enough money."

"The Martial Dao Saint Embryo cultivation technique set—almost all the techniques required in it are expensive body-refining martial arts like Spring-Autumn Infinite Zen."

"And the techniques of Dragon Bloodline and Heavenly Martial War Heart aren't cheap either."

As for the Great Sage Inheritor, Zhang Yu hadn't found any other techniques belonging to this technique set yet.

"Once I've trained Spring-Autumn Infinite Zen to level 10, I'll first complete the High School Saint Body technique set and see what effect it has."

With a basic concept of the chain technique diagram from the first chapter of the Feather Scripture in mind, and having arranged his upcoming cultivation plans, Zhang Yu finally raised his head, looked at Bai Zhenzhen, and said, "This guy wasn't lying."

"It really did improve my immortal path potential."

"But just how far this potential has been elevated still needs time to verify."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenwei smiled slightly and said with great anticipation, "Then it's my turn next, right?"

Fuji said, "The Wish Ceremony isn't something you can just casually perform; it requires thorough preparation."

"You follow the requirements I'm about to list—buy what needs to be bought, find what needs to be found."

"Everything must be properly prepared before we proceed."
