Chapter 60: Heavenly Net Soul-Urging Technique

~8 min read 1,405 words

Jiang Xun stopped teasing Jun Tianling and began to calm his mind to learn the cultivation technique from her.

But he clearly still overestimated his own comprehension ability.

Two hours later, Jun Tianling went mad.

"Use blood as the guide! Use blood as the guide! Can you not understand, or is there no blood in your body? Can you not feel the blood vessels in your own meridians!"

Jun Tianling grabbed her hair into a messy tangle.

If she hadn't sworn an oath, she would have really wanted to hack Jiang Xun to death with a sword.

Two hours! He had stubbornly failed to understand even the first step!

"I can feel it, of course, but how do I control its flow?"

Jiang Xun asked with a blank look on his face.

"The heart... you know what a heart is, right?"

Jun Tianling took a deep breath, then looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

It was clear she really took him for an idiot.

"I know."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"The heart is like a pump; it uses rhythmic contraction and relaxation to push blood out, driving the blood to flow through the body. A pump, you know what a pump is, right?"

As Jun Tianling spoke, she clenched and released her hand.

"Uh, I know."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"Then that's it, isn't it? You control the beating of your heart; the faster this pump squeezes, the faster the blood flows, right? Just like drawing water from a well, the faster you press that pump, the faster the water comes out, understand? Do you get it?"

"Geez, you should have said so earlier. You only said to use blood as the guide, but you didn't say to use the heart to control the blood flow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun nodded with a look of realization.

"Isn't that common sense? You've cultivated for a thousand years, what exactly have you been practicing!"

Jun Tianling shouted.

"Alright, alright, stop nagging, I'll try."

Jiang Xun said as he closed his eyes and began to press his heart with his internal energy, but as soon as he pressed, he nearly squeezed his heart until it burst.

"Ah! You tricked me!"

Jiang Xun felt a piercing pain and clutched his chest as he shouted.

"Are you crazy? How much force are you using to press it? Why don't you just use your full strength and press yourself to death?"

Jun Tianling sighed, speechless.

To be able to teach this guy to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, his master was truly a talent.

"Just use a sliver of internal energy to interfere with it... sigh..."

Jun Tianling was already somewhat numb.

"I'll trust you one more time."

Jiang Xun glanced at Jun Tianling, then gently pressed his heart again, feeling that his blood flow had indeed sped up a bit.

Thus, Jiang Xun guided his blood to surge toward his spiritual apertures.

Puchi...

A stream of fresh blood surged from Jiang Xun's fingertip like a fountain.

"This..."

Jiang Xun raised his finger, looking at the little red fountain, and was speechless for a moment.

"I told you to form the seals! If you keep spraying like this, you'll suffer from excessive blood loss before long."

Jun Tianling reached out to form seals and said helplessly.

"Sigh."

She sighed again.

"Oh."

Jiang Xun nodded, his left hand mimicking Jun Tianling's hand gestures to form seals.

"Recite the incantation: Heavenly Net Soul-Urging, Soul Extinguishing Nine Heavens."

"Oh..."

Jiang Xun nodded and began to recite the incantation.

As the incantation combined with the hand seals, the blood began to gradually solidify, changing from a spray to a flowing stream.

As Jiang Xun injected his internal energy, it began to change from a limp state to a rigid one.

As Jiang Xun drove more internal energy, five blood-red... long fingernails grew out on the five fingers of his right hand.

Before Jun Tianling could speak, the blood-red long fingernails suddenly began to extend, turning into the shape of sharp arrows, and were covered with a layer of black.

Jiang Xun waved his hand, the Black Arrow disappeared, and with a flip of his hand, a Black Blade appeared in his palm.

With a thought, the shape of the Black Blade began to change, turning into a long sword, then a long spear, then a dagger.

Jun Tianling was very surprised: "You, you've learned it?"

"Looks like it." Jiang Xun nodded, the Black Blade disappeared, and with a flick of his finger, a Black Arrow extended from his finger, dancing in the air.

Just like the one Jun Tianling had used before.

"Go out and test its power."

Seeing this, Jun Tianling said.

Jiang Xun also nodded, then left the Liu Hong Sword and opened his eyes on the recliner.

He was still lying there, his fingers slightly raised.

A black arrow immediately darted out from his fingertips, dancing in the air; then, Jiang Xun waved forward, and the Black Arrow flew toward the woods, piercing through ten trees in a row under Jiang Xun's control.

These ten trees looked as if they had been stitched together with needle and thread.

With another crook of his finger, the ten trees collapsed with a boom all at once.

"Is that it?"

Jiang Xun saw the scene before him and was very satisfied.

If he wanted to, this arrow could continue to pierce through trees.

"The first to third levels, all mastered."

Jun Tianling also nodded, feeling a bit surprised.

Although this old man had extremely poor comprehension, it seemed that once he grasped something, he could master it perfectly.

"Jiang Xun? Isn't that move of yours Jun Tianling's?"

Hua Bairui was planting flowers next door; seeing that move from Jiang Xun, she was dumbfounded and didn't react for a moment, her little mouth even hanging open.

"That's right, I learned it."

Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Hua Bairui and smiled.

"Good heavens, you are too amazing."

An expression of admiration appeared in Hua Bairui's eyes.

"Average, average, I just practiced for a few minutes and learned it, hahahaha."

Jiang Xun laughed without any modesty.

"Heh." To this, Jun Tianling could only let out a cold laugh.

"So this is practiced up to the third level?"

Jiang Xun then asked in his heart.

"That's right, the first level is controlling blood to open the spirit apertures, allowing an ordinary person to absorb Spirit Energy and begin cultivation."

"The second level is turning blood into a weapon, giving the blood penetrating power."

"The third level is hardening... strengthening the blood, allowing the blood to leave the body and become weapons like a Black Blade or Black Sword; the higher the cultivation, the stronger the weapon's intensity. With your current Nascent Soul Realm, it probably counts as Spirit Grade."

"Then what about the next level?"

Jiang Xun nodded and asked.

"The next level, you can only learn it once you reach the Spirit Transformation Stage."

"Oh, then teach me that, the Crimson Wings."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"... Sigh."

Hearing that he had to teach again, Jun Tianling let out a deep sigh.

Afterwards, it was another three hours of torture; by the time Jiang Xun opened his eyes again, the sky had already turned dark.

"Senior, did you not sleep well last night?"

As soon as Jiang Xun opened his eyes, Hua Bairui was right in front of him, looking at him eagerly and asking.

Yes, after working so hard last night, he certainly hadn't slept well.

"Uh." Jiang Xun was stunned.

If Hua Bairui had wanted to do something to him just now, he would probably be a dead man by now, after all, the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe was not on him.

In the future, when entering the Liu Hong Sword, he would still need to set up some Formation nearby to keep his body safe.

"I was just cultivating, I was a bit absorbed."

Jiang Xun waved his hand and smiled.

"You can cultivate while lying down? That's too comfortable..."

"It is cultivation of the divine soul," Jiang Xun explained.

"Oh... if you perform this kind of cultivation in the future, it's best to call me; I will act as your Protector, otherwise, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous."

Hua Bairui nodded and said; she had also seen Jiang Xun looking like he was asleep, which was why she had come over to watch over him.
