Chapter 320: Learning to Devour Heaven and Earth

The ten thousand years of savings of the Nine Serenities Sect were deceived by the 100,000-year-old Wen Dao Sect, and the Sect Master died because of this, which can be described as both people and money being empty.

The Nine Serenities Sect has been depressed for the next nine hundred years.

The weak eat the strong; perhaps this is the cruel cultivation world... a ghost.

Lu Yang read halfway through the narration, and he couldn't read it himself.

Shouldn't the cruel cultivation world be about strong plunder? Why is it a financial investment scam here?

What about the respect for strength?

The thousand-year-old mystery of the Nine Serenities Sect was broken today, and Li Li Haoran didn't know what to say.

Although the Sect Master before the previous one had nothing to do with him, and the previous Sect Master Qin Li Haoran didn't have much to do with him, he always felt that he should express something?

He started to applaud.

Everyone in the Nine Serenities Sect deserves to be killed, well deceived!

The Fifth Elder coughed twice: "In short, I agree with your invitation for me to become the protector of the Heavenly Court Sect."

"According to what you said, the external stronghold of the Heavenly Court

"Long delays are troublesome; why not set off tomorrow?" Lu Yang suggested.

"Fine."

"By the way, Elder, please remember to disguise yourself; it wouldn't be good if you were recognized by people from the Jiuyou Sect." Lu Yang reminded her. Previously, when they met people from the Jiuyou Sect, they had all used fake names and fake faces.

"That's simple. Although my disguise technique isn't as proficient as Old Nine's, it's no problem to deal with mere people from the Jiuyou Sect. This time, there might be people at the Integration stage from the Jiuyou Sect. In front of the Integration stage, your disguises can be seen through at a glance."

"Before we set off, I'll disguise the four of you."

It seemed the Fifth Elder was quite experienced in this area.

After saying goodbye to the Fifth Elder, Lu Yang didn't forget to expand the members of the Heavenly Court Sect. He wanted to invite Tao Tao Yaoye and Seeing Man Gu to join the Heavenly Court Sect and go to Yanjiang County to impersonate ancient geniuses.

Unfortunately, after Lu Yang went there, he found that both Tao Tao Yaoye and Seeing Man Gu were in seclusion.

The Senior Sister told Lu Yang that Tao Tao Yaoye and Seeing Man Gu were consolidating their Golden Core realms and couldn't get away for the time being.

"By the way, Fairy, can you teach me a few spells or supernatural powers? The kind that looks very ancient and can be recognized as being used in the ancient era at a glance."

Lu Yang explained: "Think about it, my current identity is an ancient genius. What would it look like if I used current moves? It would be very easy to reveal flaws."

The Decayed Fairy looked at Lu Yang silently, thinking to herself, which of your moves looks like a current move? Is it the 'Shrinking Ground to an Inch' or the 'Tree Planting Technique'?

However, as a dignified Fairy, she was understanding and didn't say such discouraging words: "Alright."

"I have the Ancient Qi Refining Technique here. It gathers the spiritual charm of heaven and earth and the morning and evening mists. By consuming and refining them, one can prolong life and remain forever young. The Qi Condensation stage was evolved based on the Ancient Qi Refining Technique."

"When the Jiu Chong Immortal was proving that he was the first to become an immortal, he read many ancient books, among which the Ancient Qi Refining Technique was mentioned. He used immortal arts to deduce it and said that if the Ancient Qi Refining Technique is cultivated to the extreme, one can refine the Primordial Violet Qi, which is incredibly powerful. But this is only theoretical; anyway, I've never seen anyone succeed in cultivating it."

Lu Yang shook his head: "That won't work. There's no chance to display it to the people from the Jiuyou Sect, and they wouldn't be able to tell it's the Ancient Qi Refining Technique."

"Then how about the Dragon Transformation Technique? The dragon race has a strong physical body. By learning the Dragon Transformation Technique, one can make parts of the body 'dragon-like' and gain some of the dragon race's innate abilities, such as summoning wind and rain or overturning rivers and seas."

"The Ying Tian Immortal learned the Dragon Transformation Technique and is the person who has achieved the most in it to date. He can fully transform into a dragon, and the dragon race calls him 'Ying Long'."

Lu Yang's eyes lit up: "Eh, this is good. How do I learn it?"

"Let me think. It should be to first soak in dragon blood for three days. Although there's a possibility of becoming bloated like the Ying Tian Immortal, with this Immortal's guidance, it shouldn't be a big problem... By the way, is dragon blood hard to get in your era?"

In the ancient era, if you wanted to get dragon blood, you either used force to compel the dragon race to hand it over, slaughtered a stray true dragon, or, like the Ying Tian Immortal, the dragon race saw your high potential and was willing to invest in you.

"Dragon blood is available."

The Wendao Sect certainly wasn't short of dragon blood or phoenix blood, but the problem was that they were setting off tomorrow. They couldn't soak in dragon blood on the road, and for three days at that.

The Decayed Fairy had just said it might lead to the same fate as the Ying Tian Immortal.

"Is there anything else?"

"How about the Taotie clan's supernatural power, 'Swallowing Heaven and Earth'?"

Lu Yang was startled. The Taotie clan's supernatural power, 'Swallowing Heaven and Earth', was famous; he had heard the storyteller talk about it before he even started cultivating.

It was said that this move could swallow souls, spiritual energy, the sun, moon, and stars, space, and everything in the world!

If he could learn it, it would naturally be good.

"But shouldn't this be an innate supernatural power that only the Taotie clan can learn? Can I learn it too?"

The Decayed Fairy was as confident as ever, patting her chest and saying: "Look at what you're saying. With this Immortal guiding you, what can't you learn?"

"Then I'll learn this!" Lu Yang made up his mind, filled with joy. Finally, he could learn a new skill again.

Lu Yang found an open space on Tianmen Peak that was far from the kitchen, and the Decayed Fairy appeared to guide him.

"To learn 'Swallowing Heaven and Earth', the most important thing is to have the desire to swallow; this is the foundation."

"Why is the Taotie clan especially good at eating? It's precisely because their desire to swallow is an instinct that cannot be controlled!"

"Close your eyes and imagine that you are very hungry and want to eat something."

Lu Yang followed the Decayed Fairy's instructions, imagining himself becoming a mortal, his stomach empty, very hungry, wanting to eat, and drooling from hunger.

Imagining there was a plate of delicacies in front of him... like tomato scrambled eggs.

Lu Yang instantly wasn't hungry anymore.

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was the Decayed Fairy tilting her head to look at him.

The Fairy was looking at him with an innocent face: "What's wrong with you?"

"... Nothing, I made a mistake just now. Let me imagine again."

Lu Yang threw the tomato scrambled eggs out of his mind and replaced them with plates of delicious food that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste:

A braised pork knuckle with a ruddy color and skin fried to absorb the soup, spicy and firm snails, noodles topped with chili oil...

Lu Yang wiped his drool; he was truly hungry.

The Fairy's voice rang in his ears at the right time: "Remember the incantation I recite. Don't try to memorize it; you must understand it. Imagine the meaning of this incantation from a deeper level."

Then came the obscure and difficult ancient language.

Perhaps it was because Lu Yang's hunger matched this incantation well; although he still couldn't understand it, Lu Yang didn't find it obscure.

From noon to evening, Lu Yang kept himself in a state of hunger to understand this incantation. Gradually, he became more and more familiar with it, and it seemed he understood the meaning of the incantation—eat.

He opened his eyes again, the incantation ringing in his heart, and looked down at the soil under his feet, giving rise to an impulse.

He wanted to eat dirt.

"Wait, why do I want to eat dirt?!" Lu Yang realized something was wrong.

The Decayed Fairy lay on her side on the ground, propping her face with her arm, and said as a matter of course: "Congratulations, you've mastered 'Swallowing the Earth'."
