Chapter 442 – Passing Down Cultivation Methods

With regards to Gongyi Tianheng’s body, Gu Zuo understood it very well! When he was inspecting Dragon 21, Gu Zuo discovered that his constitution was extremely similar to that of Tianheng. It was just that it was slightly inferior in all aspects. However, in terms of comprehensive capabilities, he really was comparable to some of the geniuses seen in Ten Ultimates Sect! Back then, those Xiantian Pills, which were refined using Tianheng’s blood, fundamentally transformed the Tianlong Guards, and turned them into weaker versions of Tianheng himself!

And a weakened all-star prodigy was extraordinary enough!

In particular, although Tianheng’s Tiandu Body required meticulous nursing every step of the way, at least until the five-elements Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects were assembled to reach an equilibrium within the internal organs and completely heal him, these Tianlong Guards didn’t have this shortcoming. Their bodies were robust, and their qi essences were exuberant. Even the vigor of their qi and blood were like fierce suns!

Consider these kind of genius personages, who possessed weakened versions of the Tiandu Body. If they were placed in other organizations, so long as they exerted themselves, they could obtain great positions. Even if such personages took the initiative to attach themselves to stronger powerhouses, they normally wouldn’t risk life and limb for that powerhouse. They also wouldn’t treat their superior with the same fanatical conviction that the Tianlong Guards held for Tianheng!

After discovering these things, how could Gu Zuo be unhappy? Even Tianheng felt incredibly gladdened.

Besides this, the moment Tianheng’s internal qi entered Dragon 21’s meridians, he sensed a resonance between their bloodlines. All of Dragon 21’s abilities were opened to Tianheng, allowing him to take everything in at a glance. Then, he found the relationship between their bloodlines.

Just as Gu Zuo surmised, whenever Tianheng had a breakthrough, his comprehension and capabilities would spur on the same qualities of the Tianlong Guards. Not only would it allow them to take the opportunity to comprehend martial skills that were even more profound, they could have breakthroughs without any bottlenecks and catch up with Tianheng. It was to the point that, if they learned the cultivation methods Tianheng created, the sparse amounts of Tiandu Blood within their bodies could develop a connection with the blood within Tianheng. The blood seemed capable of remembering Tianheng’s cultivation methods, which would make learning them even easier.

Tianheng naturally understood this.

Once the Tianlong Guards completely broke through to the Immortal Realm, he could pass down his own martial disciplines.

Of course, they still had to make some preparations before that.

After restraining the trace of excitement just now, Tianheng opened his eyes. There was a mysterious light within them: “The two sets of bone pearls within your bodies originate from my blood. As for the second set of bone pearls, it would be a shame not to study the other powers.”

Having heard what was said, the crowd of Tianlong Guards all said: “No matter the young master’s commands, we obey!”

Tianheng’s expression eased: “There are six sets of martial disciplines that I have comprehended, which are divided into six paths. Apart from the path of the human, there are five other paths. All of you may chose one each.” Speaking up to here, he gave a slight pause, “These methods are ones that I have created myself, and their future prospects are uncertain. If you aren’t willing to learn them, I can change them to other methods for you.”

The numerous Tianlong Guards didn’t hesitate in the slightest: “We are willing to learn!”

Not only were they willing, they looked forward to it!

If it was said that outsiders would still be somewhat skeptical after learning that Tianheng realized something, these Tianlong Guards would never be like this. They had been guarding Tianheng since they were young. As he slowly grew up, his comprehension was used to modify many martial disciplines for them to learn and improve their fighting strength. All of them owed him this favor! Naturally, they trusted in Tianheng from beginning to end. They wholeheartedly believed that, if the modifications made by their dear young master were so powerful, then his self-created martial disciplines were certainly even more terrifying!

As far as they were concerned, any other martial disciplines weren’t as good as what Tianheng could create.

Tianheng faintly smiled: “The human body is divided into the five elements. Many martial skills and inner cultivation methods are also categorized by the five elements. However, when one reaches the Immortal Realm and above, although there are single-attribute cultivation methods, there are even more martial skills of the five elements. Anyone can potentially learn them. Merely, if a person selects martial skills that have an affinity with their own constitution, those skills will be comprehended more easily and studied to greater profoundness. As for the strongest of martial skills, they are called ultimate knowledge.

“Though all of you are aware of your own constitutions, you should choose from what I have created based on your own natures. There’s no need to pay too much attention to your constitutions.”

His gaze lowered slightly, but his smiling expression didn’t change: “That’s only because the six paths that I created also have the five elements. All of them can be practiced.”

Following this, Tianheng slowly explained the essentials of the six paths he comprehended — What type of power was needed for each cultivation method, how that power was absorbed, how one operated it after the absorption, how to take it for one’s own use, what form it would eventually evolve into, and so on. After he finished speaking, he personally practiced the six cultivation methods, and displayed all of the power he was capable of. His moves were unconstrained, and his might was stunning. It caused those Tianlong Guards to watch with passionate gazes. Each of them was filled with excitement.

Once Tianheng practiced everything, the numerous Tianlong Guards closed their eyes, and sat cross-legged in mediation.

In their hearts, they carefully appreciated the subtleties of what they had just witnessed. They understood that, although their own constitutions were special, they could only choose one more method besides the path of the human. It had to be slowly resolved before they could make a decision.

A good while later, a person finally stood up and saluted towards Tianheng: “Dragon 39 pays his respects to the young master.”

Tianheng smiled at him: “What shall it be?”

Dragon 39 replied: “My constitution is partial to water. The path I want to walk down is the path of the asura.”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “A constitution partial to water is very suited to this path. However, this path requires an extremely strong willpower. Because it’s based on blood refinement, one wrong step can lead you onto the demonic path. At that time, I will personally take action to clear the way, and I won’t let you off. Do you still want to learn it?”

Dragon 39’s expression was resolute: “This subordinate wants to learn. I will live up to the young master’s expectations!”

Tianheng smiled: “Very good.” Soon after, he plainly said, “The body cultivation method of the path of the asura is the Asura Blood Ocean Sutra. Within it, there are several martial skills that I have comprehended. There are the Great Asura Fist, the Great Asura Palm, the Asura Blood Saber Incarnation, the Asura Body Incarnation, as well as the most profound method to develop the asura blood ocean.”

Dragon 39’s eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism: “This subordinate will study them properly!”

Tianheng nodded once more.

After that, he first passed along the Asura Blood Ocean Sutra. And based on Dragon 39’s strong points, he passed along the Great Asura Fist. Tianheng allowed him to practice in earnest, and once Dragon 39 gained deeper proficiencies, he could come and find Tianheng to learn the other martial skills amid this path.

Dragon 39 accepted his orders, and promptly withdrew to study and comprehend.

The other Tianlong Guards were eager to give it a try, and someone else couldn’t help going over — They also clearly heard what Tianheng said just then, and their hearts were even more excited.

At this moment, Tianheng said: “After all of you have decided, you can each choose one path according to your own preferences, and disperse into five groups.”

Gu Zuo also smiled.

He knew that big brother wasn’t foolish enough to teach them one at a time.

Having heard what was said, the numerous Tianlong Guards continued to ponder and reflect.

Many Tianlong Guards made their choices one after another, and stood together with their fellow colleagues who wanted to learn the same path. A full two hours passed when all of the Tianlong Guards made their preparations.

Gu Zuo glanced over, and astonishingly discovered that the numbers in each group…were about the same?

Afterwards, these people reported their constitutions one by one, and he realized that those people who had attributes of the five elements were also similar.

Tianheng noticed Gu Zuo’s puzzlement, and spoke to him: “Previously, when I selected the Tianlong Guards, I chose them based on their attributes of the five elements. Although they all have a mix of attributes, the attributes they have an affinity for are actually equal in number.”

At that time, because he didn’t have the power to defend himself, he wanted to take the opportunity to train the Tianlong Guards and enhance their strength. Later on, when he believed that he would soon die, he created military formations that were even more powerful. After he died, the Tianlong Guards could use these formations to protect the Gongyi Clan.

This was something that he exhausted his thoughts and ingenuity to accomplish. For the clan, he had made many considerations.

Currently, even though the six paths that Tianheng created weren’t partitioned based on one’s attributes, this wasn’t to say that there were no affinities whatsoever. For example, those with a water affinity learned the path of the asura, and gained the river of blood. Those with an earth affinity learned the path of the underworld, and what they suppressed was the earthly prison of the netherworld. Those with a fire affinity learned the path of the celestial, for the power of the sun blazed without compare. Those with a metal affinity learned the path of monster blood. They could shapeshift into wild beasts, and their unparalleled attacks were sharper than blades. Those with a wood affinity learned the path of the hungry ghost. A tree’s roots entered the soil, and selfishly absorbed its nutrients. This also had the meaning of devouring.

Reaching this point, after numerous Tianlong Guards made their selections, everyone found their corresponding path.

From this, it could be seen that the foresight of these Tianlong Guards was also out of the ordinary.

Starting from the path of the asura, Tianheng passed down his cultivation methods one path at a time. In addition, he also taught the various martial skills of those paths, and let them practice on their own.

Before long, the eyes of every Tianlong Guard were bursting with radiance. Their strength had reached a higher level, and their imposing aura became even more different.

Of course, while Gu Zuo had seen Tianheng fully utilize these martial skills, when all was said and done, he wasn’t a marital artist. Whenever Tianheng trained and chatted with Gu Zuo, he never explained it too meticulously. Now that Gu Zuo listened to some of these things, he only felt that it was powerful. Seeing that those Tianlong Guards were in high spirits, his mood couldn’t help improving.

In short, the Tianlong Guards were his and big brother’s most reliable team. It was only natural that the stronger they became, the better it would be!

As for the Tianlong Guards, they were practically Tianheng’s shadow. Their own bloodline led to Tianheng’s bloodline. As a result, when faced with various forces, they wouldn’t need Tianheng to teach them hand in hand. They slowly gained comprehensions, and learned the basics one by one.

With this kind of guidance, the group of people exerted themselves and practiced.

Before they knew it, quite a few days had passed by.

During these days, Tianheng hadn’t shown himself, but the orders issued by Gongyi Yan set off a huge commotion throughout the entire Gongyi Clan.
