Chapter 88: Comprehending the Kunpeng Precious Technique (Part II)
The Kunpeng looked back once more; in those pupils, the sun and moon sank, great stars fell, and the galaxy collapsed.
This scene was like the world being reopened; chaos disintegrated, incomparable.
Mengchen and Shi Hao were both shaken by this sight.
This is the Kunpeng! Worthy of being one of the Taigu Ten Fiends, its Kunpeng Precious Technique is so powerful, containing the mysteries of the heavens, with yin and yang complementing each other to give birth to chaos, infinitely profound.
At this moment, Mengchen became even more mesmerized, as did Shi Hao, as well as Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu on the side.
Their respective spirits and wills seemed to have cast themselves into the void, submerging into those Runes, greedily absorbing the infinite mysteries, exploring the supreme technique.
Following the profound enlightenment, the space between the brows of Mengchen and Shi Hao glowed, strands of light seeping out, reflecting into the void and condensing together with those Runes.
Finally, their entire bodies shone with brilliant golden light; those Runes descended, submerged into their bodies, and fused together.
With a sound like the Dao ringing out, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck between heaven and earth, causing the Kunpeng in the void to completely explode, transforming into endless Runes that rushed toward them and reorganized on their bodies.
The golden light was brilliant and dazzling, and then black light appeared, strands of it mixing into the gold, turning into patterns.
This was a miraculous transformation; the inheritance of the Kunpeng was fully displayed, without a single omission, not reflected in the void, but transformed into tangible symbols, all landing on the two of them.
Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu, who were on the side, noticed this and were immediately shocked.
At this moment, they saw that Mengchen and Shi Hao seemed to have each transformed into a Kunpeng, ready to spread their wings and strike the sky, rushing toward the regions beyond, submerging into the vast universe.
At this time, endless symbols condensed and combined with them, reorganizing outside their bodies, flashing with the most brilliant light, forming Dao bodies.
Their forms did not change; they remained in their human bodies, only those golden symbols and black light descended, condensing outside their bodies as if they had put on a layer of sacred battle armor.
At this moment, a Supreme Aura permeated from the two of them, suppressing the Nine Heavens! The Runes landed on their bodies, infinite and endless, impossible to estimate how many patterns there were, all crystal clear, each one an indispensable chain forming the rules, none could be missing.
Mengchen and Shi Hao were each immersed in it, body and mind devoted, perceiving endless secrets.
In this instant, Mengchen did not know where he was; in this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Taigu era, arriving at that age where heroes contended and ten thousand clans stood tall.
A single glance back seemed as distant as ten thousand ages.
"Boom!"
An eagle struck the long sky, one great star after another was pounced upon and killed, then exploded into haze.
A True Phoenix roared at the Nine Heavens, howling toward the sky; several moons exploded, turning into a rain of silver light, sprinkling onto the earth.
A True Dragon soared, dancing with the heavenly wind, striking down one divine palace after another from beyond the Nine Heavens, crashing down like meteorites, sending up waves of dust on the earth.
Was that the Taigu era? The terrifying age of the Ten Fiends contending for hegemony; there were simply too many powerful beings.
This was a regression of time; through the Kunpeng's inheritance, Mengchen saw glimpses of the Taigu era, his heart surging; in that era, supreme powerhouses emerged one after another, which was heart-stirring.
At this moment, Mengchen recalled that these glimpses of the Taigu era seemed like a corner of his own long memory, so he immersed himself in it, doing his utmost to capture those images.
The bits of memory overlapped with the regression, yet the terrifying dark matter was not seen.
The Kunpeng was born in that era; according to its memory, it must have experienced those things.
The regression could not continue to be recalled; Mengchen refocused his mind to comprehend the technique.
Just like this, he threw himself into it, golden patterns rotating on his skin, acquiring the mysteries of the strongest sequence in the world.
In this process, the Runes on his skin constantly changed, from blazing gold, slowly transitioning to black, transforming from a Peng Bird into a Kun fish, floating and sinking by the Blood Pool. Gradually, Mengchen fell into a deep state of Dao-comprehension, isolated from the outside world, immersed in a wondrous state.
He seemed to be wandering in the Great Void, soaring through the Taigu era, while simultaneously comprehending the supreme technique and the mysteries of the heavens.
As time passed..., before the Blood Pool, Mengchen and the others sat cross-legged; he and Shi Hao had gained huge harvests, having already engraved all the changes of the Runes deep in their minds.
"Swish...!"
Suddenly, the golden symbols fused onto their bodies emerged, gathering and changing into pure black, turning into Kun fish, and with a flick of their tails, they swept them all into the Blood Pool.
As soon as they entered, the brilliant blood, like magma, flowed over, submerging them, with the Kun fish floating and sinking within.
"Kunpeng True Blood!"
Mengchen was startled, his eyes snapping open, feeling very shocked; this blood contained a drop of Kunpeng True Blood.
Long ages had passed, yet the divinity of the blood remained undying, nourished in the pool, gestating Runes, endless and inexhaustible.
This was left behind by the Kunpeng for its successor to cleanse the marrow and cut the bones.
This was a great opportunity!
In just an instant, their physical bodies crackled, their internal organs vibrating like the sound of metal clashing, broken bones reconnecting, emitting a precious light.
This drop of Kunpeng True Blood was too overbearing, cleansing the marrow and cutting the bones, causing them to be reborn.
In the time that followed, Mengchen and the others continuously comprehended the Dao, engraving the Runes they had each understood into their hearts.
Their levels of comprehension differed; Mengchen and Shi Hao obtained the perfect Kunpeng Technique, while Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu had limited understanding and failed to achieve completeness.
But even if it did not reach completeness, it was by no means comparable to ordinary precious techniques; its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.
They each branded the Runes they had comprehended into their minds, needing to spend more time to comprehend them thoroughly.
This Kunpeng Technique ranks among the top ten Taigu precious techniques; its complexity is unimaginable, and it is impossible to achieve in one step; it still requires slow and thorough study later on.
The technique comprehension ended; they each harvested the Kunpeng Precious Technique to varying degrees, becoming the biggest winners of this trip to the Kunpeng Yichao.
Finally, Mengchen and Shi Hao sank into cultivation once again.
They each began to nourish the spirit in the Cave Heaven! Now that they had obtained the true Kunpeng Technique, it was flawless and perfect for nourishing the spirit.
Now that Mengchen was in the Spirit Transformation Realm, his Body Becoming Spiritual and Reshaping the True Self had already reached the peak; although the subsequent Cave Heaven spirit-nourishing was already complete, it was still lacking something.
At the same time, very few people could cultivate the three stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the extreme in one go; almost no one could truly achieve it, and now Mengchen had completed the first two steps and was advancing toward the third.
If he succeeded, his future potential would be limitless.
At this moment, Mengchen and Shi Hao both had their Cave Heavens fully opened, brilliant and magnificent, instantly illuminating the stone chamber.
They each condensed the Kunpeng Runes they had comprehended, rushing into a Cave Heaven, and subsequently began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to nourish them; in the process, the Runes evolved and reorganized.
Slowly, the Runes evolved into a black Kun fish and a golden Peng Bird, which circled and hovered within the Cave Heaven, representing the two poles of yin and yang respectively.
