Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Passing on the Technique

Shi Hao held his sword horizontally, his expression cold.

He had indeed done so purposely, aiming to assassinate Ma Youfu.

Although he had previously managed to kill two traitors, Yue Junxian and Liu Shixuan, it had no significant impact on the Kuangsha Sect, the mastermind behind the crimes.

——For the Kuangsha Sect, luring a few geniuses away was just icing on the cake.

So, how could Shi Hao possibly be content?

He was the type to return a blow when struck, and not just with a slap for a slap, but with two punches for one. How could he swallow this insult?

Therefore, he deliberately exhausted a great deal of his strength in the fight with Liu Shixuan, feigning a state where he was close to being unable to hold on any longer, to lure Ma Youfu into action.

And the result? The Ninefold Mountain emerged, and Ma Youfu was instantly killed.

A Spatial Spirit Tool, such a treasure, coveted by all. Had it not been for Shi Hao possessing the memories of Yuan Chengmie, how would he have known that such marvelous items existed in the world?

Bao Dongsheng laughed heartily, thoroughly delighted.

He looked toward Shi Hao, his eyes filled with admiration and even a trace of gratitude.

Though his combat power was far superior to Shi Hao’s, could he actually kill Ma Youfu? Or, should it be asked, was he even allowed to make a move?

After all, everyone was still adhering to the line of friendly competition, and were Bao Dongsheng to kill Ma Youfu, or Lu Ying to kill Shi Hao, the scope of the battle would escalate.

Of course, if the Kuangsha Sect couldn’t bear the humiliation, they could fully engage in war with the White Cloud Sect.

But with two Sun-Level experts from the Nine Islands on the White Cloud Sect’s side, if they couldn’t be completely suppressed, their stealth attacks would surely give the Kuangsha Sect a severe headache.

So, everyone had to consider their disciples, which allowed for mutual checks and balances.

Like Lu Ying, who only wanted to abduct all the outstanding disciples of the White Cloud Sect and seize their Spirit Stone Vein, causing the White Cloud Sect to self-destruct, rather than having to personally dispose of Bao Dongsheng.

Because of these concerns, the task of killing Ma Youfu fell on Shi Hao’s shoulders.

And Shi Hao did not let Bao Dongsheng down.

“Shi, Hao!” Lu Ying let out a sky-high roar, his anger uncontrollable.

In the first half, they had completely triumphed, not only persuading strong fighters like Nong Yongrui from the Other Shore to turn against their own, but also acquiring young geniuses, like Liu Shixuan and Yue Junxian. But what about the second half?

Not only did Liu Shixuan and Yue Junxian die, but their young king, Ma Youfu, also followed in their footsteps.

It was a complete nightmare!

Shi Hao merely watched him coldly, not showing a trace of fear even in the face of a powerful Other Shore expert.

Lu Ying’s heart was boiling with killing intent. This youth was too calm, and with a heart unafraid of power, it made him feel incredibly uneasy. He felt that if this boy was not eliminated soon, he would become a major threat to the Kuangsha Sect in the future.

But the issue was, how to kill him?

Bao Dongsheng would never allow him to succeed, and as for awareness… he certainly didn’t have the courage to sacrifice himself.

It didn’t matter, this kid was still only at the second step, far from reaching the Other Shore. There was plenty of time to find a way to get rid of him.

“Let’s go!” He waved his hand, leading his men away without even bothering to exchange pleasantries.

The Kuangsha Sect could be said to have returned with heavy losses, but the White Cloud Sect from top to bottom was completely unable to feel joy.

They had lost seven elders all at once and two young kings, which left the White Cloud Sect extremely weakened.

Had it not been for the support of two Nine Islands experts, the sect might have faced complete destruction.

But they still had a spark of hope, and that was Shi Hao!

Bao Dongsheng took Shi Hao back to his own residence. This young and exceptionally talented disciple made him want to take him as an apprentice and nurture him with all his might.

Shi Hao, however, shook his head, “I cannot become your disciple, junior.”

Bao Dongsheng could not teach him anything, so he was not willing to simply seek protection and hypocritically acknowledge someone as his master.

Bao Dongsheng couldn’t help but feel extremely disappointed. How could such a super genius not wish to become his disciple?

Do you really want to be a Pill Master for your entire life?

Shi Hao smiled, “The hope of reviving our sect still rests on the Sect Master.”

Bao Dongsheng frowned deeply; he had at most ten years of life left, and although his combat power had not yet declined, his remaining days were few. How could he rejuvenate the White Cloud Sect?

“I was able to cultivate to the Soul Nurturing realm so quickly because I obtained the legacy of a predecessor,” Shi Hao told a white lie. “I will hand over the cultivation techniques, as well as Sun-Level martial techniques. With the help of these, I believe there is hope for the White Cloud Sect to be revitalized, and perhaps, the Sect Master can even advance to a higher level!”

These words excited Bao Dongsheng. Shi Hao was actually willing to contribute such important things; it was almost beyond his belief.

Who wouldn’t cherish their own skills?

“Shi Hao, do you understand that such techniques should not be transmitted lightly?” He took a deep breath and spoke gravely to Shi Hao, “A technique that can surpass the Other Shore is worth more than this entire continent!”

Whoever obtains it, if they can surpass the Other Shore Realm, would be rightly an unparalleled overlord.

And yet, Shi Hao was willing to share such a wonderful technique?

He didn’t know what words to use to describe it.

Shi Hao smiled and said, “From the moment the Sect Master stood up for me, I considered myself a member of the White Cloud Sect. Since that is the case, what’s wrong with making some contributions to the sect?”

“Good! Good! Good!” Bao Dongsheng’s eyebrows and whiskers trembled, too excited to express.

Comparisons are frightful.

Liu Shixuan, as his direct disciple, had the best cultivation treatment, but what happened? He betrayed him without hesitation.

Compared with Shi Hao, well, sigh!

Shi Hao took out paper and pen and silently wrote down a cultivation technique.

Of course, it wasn’t the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, which was Shi Hao’s core secret that would never be shared.

Even if he wanted to share it, he couldn’t write it out.

This cultivation technique was called the “Vast Sea Mist Technique,” and in Yuan Chengmie’s memory, it was also considered a superior technique.

Shi Hao believed that with it, surpassing the Other Shore Realm should be no problem.

But beyond the Other Shore, no one had tread that path, so how to break through was a big problem, and just having the technique was insufficient.

He mentioned this issue to Bao Dongsheng, who didn’t respond at first but instead picked up the cultivation technique to read, weighing each word, and then showed a look of joy, saying, “I have been trapped in the Nine Islands for many years, and in fact, I have already touched the threshold but didn’t know what lay ahead and didn’t dare to make a rash advance.”

“However, with this higher-level technique, I now have eighty, no, ninety percent confidence!”

“I could possibly break through to the next realm after half a year of seclusion!”

Shi Hao nodded, also quite pleased because if Bao Dongsheng broke through to a higher realm, the White Cloud Sect would not only sweep away its weakness but could even flatten the Kuangsha Sect entirely.

As for Shi Hao, he could not possibly stay in the White Cloud Sect for too long.

After his encounter with Luo Qing’er, he knew that beyond this continent must lie an even more vast expanse of heaven and earth.

It was very likely the world where Yuan Chengmie once roamed freely.

He wanted to see it for himself.
