Killing God - Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Golden Stone Armor
Shen Shi had loved reading books since he was young, so he subconsciously felt a sense of familiarity in the Cloud Mountain Hall of the Art Hall. However, the most important thing at this moment was to choose the most suitable cultivation method from the Dao Art Catalogue in his hand for cultivation. In this era of the Five Elements Technique, all sorts of Dao Art divine abilities were already the foundation of all cultivators.

The directory is not long, The front and back pages were just like what the Senior Sister Shutang had introduced, After recording the seventeen Elemental Condensation Realm Elementary Dao Techniques that could be cultivated, Shen Shi looked over carefully one by one. In addition, Sun You, who had already started cultivating for three years, would occasionally point to the cultivation techniques on the catalogue and introduce them softly. Thus, Shen Shi soon had a rough understanding of the seventeen Elemental Condensation Realm Elementary Dao Techniques.

Lingxiao Sect had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and there were countless geniuses and heroes. There were naturally countless divine passage techniques passed down. Of course, there were also some peerless dao techniques that shook the heavens. However, regardless of whether they were asked, they were all top-notch secret techniques that ordinary cultivators would never be able to come into contact with. However, apart from these grand techniques, Lingxiao Sect also had many beginner-level and middle-level dao techniques that were suitable for disciples below the Origin Core Realm to cultivate.

But to be honest, Actually, there wasn’t a universally recognized standard in the cultivation world to distinguish between the levels of various Dao Arts and divine abilities, Unlike the various spirit materials, pills, and minerals that were clearly classified, the various divine abilities cultivated by human cultivators had evolved over ten thousand years, and had actually become extremely complex. There were many different types of divine abilities, and even more new ones were being created. All sorts of strange divine abilities would appear. Moreover, because the main body of cultivating various Dao Arts were different people, it was impossible for the natural talent bone frame to appear exactly the same. As a result, there would be more and more different consequences, and it would be more difficult to judge the power of various Dao Arts and divine abilities.

To distinguish between various spells and Dao Arts at the beginner, middle, and higher levels, Actually, it’s just a popular saying, Most people thought that the cultivation methods that could be cultivated at the Origin Condensation Realm were at the beginner stage, those at the Divine Concept Realm were at the intermediate stage, and those above the Origin Core Realm were naturally at the higher stage. Some rare and powerful divine abilities that could move mountains and seas, or even destroy the heavens and the earth, could no longer be matched at an ordinary level.

However, this rough hierarchical division method was obviously too lacunar, and it was simply unable to give a clear definition of the current scene of a hundred flowers blooming in the human cultivation world. Therefore, in the grandmist cultivation world, there would occasionally appear a phenomenon where the power of a certain intermediate-level dao technique was inferior to that of a certain primary-level dao technique in a battle. However, in retrospect, the so-called popular or relatively ordinary words meant that under most normal circumstances, this method was still useful. Apart from those extreme examples, generally speaking, intermediate dao techniques were more powerful than primary dao techniques, and higher dao techniques were stronger than intermediate dao techniques. This was a truth that most cultivators acknowledged.

Actually, in the end, the most important thing in this process was the cultivation realm of a cultivator. Even if a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm used an Elementary Dao Art, if he had the overwhelming power of the cultivation realm, it wouldn’t be something that a Condensing Origin Realm cultivator could withstand.

However, the division of these Dao Law levels, For someone like Shen Shi who had just stepped into the Origin Condensation Realm, Obviously, it didn’t mean much, The seventeen divine abilities listed in this catalogue were the most suitable for newly advanced cultivators to cultivate after many years of experience. Moreover, they covered a wide range of techniques, including offensive techniques, defensive techniques to protect one’s life, and even a rare auxiliary type of divine ability.

Shen Shi looked through the catalogue several times, but he was still unable to make a decision for a moment. He turned to Sun You and asked softly, “Which one did you choose when you came to choose the Dao Art?”

Young Friend Sun did not hide anything from him. He directly pointed at the first page of the catalogue with his finger and said, “It’s this.”

Shen Shi glanced over and saw that Young Friend Sun had ordered a third Dao Art called the Cloud Piercing Arrow Technique.

Shen Shi then looked at the brief explanatory text below the Dao Art Catalogue. Although the number of simple words was limited, it was still very easy to tell that this Dao Art should be an attack-oriented divine ability. After reading it, he nodded slightly and couldn’t help but ask Sun You, “Why did you choose this Dao Art back then?”

Sun You chuckled and said, “Nothing much. I just feel that if there really is a battle technique in a day, I will be able to stand far away and shoot arrows. It feels so good to be shot dead by me before I even get close.”

Shen Shi looked at him and laughed for a moment. Then, he shook his head with a smile and said, “We are destined to be friends.”

Young friend Sun hugged Shen Shi’s shoulder and smiled, “What do you say?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Actually, when I used the Five Elements Technique to fight against demonic beasts, my favorite thing in my heart was to stand in the distance and throw any fireball technique, water archery technique, or rock stab technique over …”

Sun You laughed heartily and looked very happy. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Deep to my heart, deep to my heart. Are the two of us really too … eh?” As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his voice and whispered, “But, wouldn’t it make the two of us look wretched? There’s a feeling that we’re always standing in the distance and ambushing others.”

Shen Shi scoffed and said, “Pretend …”

Young friend Sun laughed loudly and said, “I’m just saying, right, since that’s the case, why don’t you choose this Cloud Piercing Arrow Technique? When the two of us go out to fight together on a mission, fire both arrows at the same time. Holy shit, that scene shouldn’t be too impressive!”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. His gaze swept across the words “Cloud Piercing Arrow Technique” on the catalogue. He did not nod in agreement. After pondering for a moment, he asked Sun You softly, “How long have you been cultivating this Cloud Piercing Arrow Dao Art? I saw that there are four levels of the Cloud Piercing Arrow. How is your current realm?”

Sun You shrugged his shoulders and said, “I chose this Dao Art just after I went up the mountain, and I’ve only been cultivating it until now. In just three years, I’ve already reached the first level of the Cloud Piercing Realm.” “As for the’phantom ‘, ‘broken string’, and’heaven breaking ‘behind me, God knows when I’ll be able to complete them. Perhaps by then, if I’m lucky, I’ll have already gone to the Divine Concept. Then I’ll throw this Dao Art away and replace it with another one.”

Shen Shi waved the table of contents in his hand and smiled, “The words under the Cloud Piercing Arrow Technique say that once you have fully cultivated it, it will be as powerful as an Intermediate Dao Art.”

Young Friend Sun sneered and rolled his eyes. “Come on, sixteen of the seventeen divine abilities of the Dao Art are so boastful.”

Shen Shi laughed loudly and shook his head. His gaze continued to look. After pondering for a while, he finally made up his mind. He turned to the second page of the catalogue and pointed at the penultimate name of the Dao Art. He said to Sun You, “I’ll choose this Dao Art to cultivate.”

“Golden Stone Armor? Is this a pure defensive Dao Art?” Young Friend Sun’s gaze immediately shifted. He was stunned, and his brows furrowed slightly as he said, “Golden Stone Armor?”

Normally speaking, when newly advanced cultivators chose their first Dao Art, they would usually choose a powerful offensive Dao Art. After holding it in the Qi Refining Realm for so long, they finally managed to survive. Why couldn’t they be arrogant and experience the feeling of being invincible? Therefore, most of the time, offensive dao techniques were more popular with newbies. In fact, defensive dao techniques like the Golden Stone Armor were already considered unpopular.

Facing the surprised gaze of Sun Youyou, Shen Shi smiled and said, “I’m afraid of death.”

Sun You snorted. Still, he didn’t seem to believe this reasoning, However, he suddenly became happy again. He smiled and said, “Actually, this Dao Art is not bad. In the future, when the two of us go out together, you will bear the brunt of the battle. I will shoot the arrow at the back. Oh, this is indeed a good scene. Not bad, not bad, Stone. You must have chosen the Golden Stone Armor Dao Art because of that, my dear brother!”

As he spoke, Sun You couldn’t help but sigh. He patted Shen Shi’s shoulder forcefully with an expression of admiration and admiration.

Shen Shi had a bit of helplessness, and with a bitter smile, he was too lazy to pay attention to this fellow. After thinking for a few times, he gave up on those offensive Dao Arms that might be quite powerful and chose the Golden Stone Armor. Naturally, there was a reason for that. Defending his life was of course an important reason. However, other than that, it was actually because he had cultivated the Yin Yang Curse. For some reason, the power of the Five Elements Spell he used seemed to be much stronger than ordinary spells. This increase in power had even reached the point where ordinary First Grade spells could threaten and injure Origin Condensation Realm cultivators.

Of course, it was said to be a threat and harm to Ning Yuan cultivators, However, there was a limit to this effect. It was impossible for an ordinary fireball technique to severely injure an Origin Condensation cultivator. The battle technique he used to kill Qian Yi in the Grey Lizard Forest of the Origin Realm had only killed that fellow after taking advantage of countless spells on Qian Yi.

Although it looks like, The power of the First Grade Five Elements Technique was not as good as expected, However, don’t forget that Shen Shi is already a cultivator who has stepped into the Origin Condensation Realm. In other words, although practically everyone in this realm will give up cultivating the Five Elements Technique because it is time-consuming, energy-consuming, and the reward is not high, as long as Shen Shi is willing, he can actually find a way to start cultivating the Second Grade of the Five Elements Technique.

According to the consensus in the cultivation world in the past, The higher the rank of the Five Elements Technique, the harder it would be to cultivate. The amount of effort and effort it consumed was no less than that of various beginner-level and middle-level Dao Techniques. There were even some specific Five Elements Techniques that, for various reasons, had reached the standard of high-level Dao Techniques. However, the power of cultivating them was often inferior to that of beginner-level Dao Techniques. Under such circumstances, the decline of the Five Elements Technique was simply inevitable.

But of course, Shen Shi was somewhat different. Cultivating in the Dao of Talismans from childhood to adulthood, including the Yin Yang Curse that he had accidentally acquired over the years, It made him have an unusual affection and enthusiasm for the declining Five Elements Technique. Furthermore, because of the Yin Yang Curse, he had a deep premonition that when he could really cultivate a Tier 2 Five Elements Technique, its might would be different from others and even surprising …

Perhaps after leaving Cloud Mountain Hall, should we go to the hall to take a look?

Shen Shi thought this in his heart, but since he had made his decision, Sun You did not say anything else. He stood up and found the senior sister, explaining his decision to her.

Upon hearing the words Golden Stone Armor, this senior sister of the Academy was obviously stunned. Obviously, among the disciples of Lingxiao Sect who usually came here to choose a cultivation method, the number of people who chose this defensive cultivation method was very few. But it had nothing to do with her, Everyone chose their own path. Besides, everyone knew that although cultivating Dao Arts was difficult and long, it would take a lot of time and effort to reach the Great Perfection Realm. However, with the advancement of cultivators, there were many examples of cultivating Dao Arts and divine abilities. Most of the time, these seventeen primary Dao Arts were actually just stepping stones for Lingxiao Sect’s newly promoted disciples. It was a transition and preparation for them to cultivate more powerful high-grade Dao Arts in the future when their cultivation realms were higher.

Therefore, although this introductory dao technique was important and was the foundation for the newly promoted disciples to defend themselves and even fight in the future, it was actually not particularly crucial in the long run.

Retrieving the catalogue, the female disciple took out a jade box from a large bookshelf beside her and opened it in front of Shen Shi. Inside the jade box was a jade slip made of azure jade. Faint Spiritual Qi flickered and faint words appeared on the jade slip. At the top of the jade box were three clear words-“Golden Stone Armor”.

After thanking that senior sister, Shen Shi and Sun You walked out of Cloud Mountain Hall side by side. There was a faint feeling of reluctance in his heart. Perhaps he still liked the scroll aura here. However, he wasn’t in a particularly sad mood, Because the rules of the Lingxiao Sect disciples had already stated that disciples of the sect could come here to read books at any time. The place behind the Cloud Mountain Palace called the “Sea of Books” was prepared for them. Of course, from the peaceful environment here, Shen Shi could vaguely deduce that reading books in the Sea of Books was not free …

While he was still thinking about the legendary sea of books in the hall behind him, Sun You, who was beside him, suddenly snorted coldly and his expression sank.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. Looking at Sun You, He looked ahead. Shen Shi’s expression was somewhat unsightly. He followed his gaze forward and saw that under the shade of an ancient tree outside Cloud Mountain Hall, at the edge of the tree’s shadow and sunlight, in the swaying and dim light of the sea breeze blowing past the tree shadow, there was a delicate and beautiful woman standing. She looked at him quietly with a complicated expression on her face.

The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth moved slightly, and then he smiled. Although it had been three years since he saw her, and although she had grown more and more beautiful, the expression in his eyes seemed to be the same as yesterday.

He smiled and waved to her who was standing under the ancient tree.

In the distance, Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze seemed to fall on him alone. He looked at the man on the stone steps and his smiling face. In a trance, it was as if he was still the same as before on Bluefish Island.

A gentle breeze blew by slowly, brushing her beautiful hair across her snow-white skin. It was as if time had reversed and reflected in the depths of her gentle eyes.

Then, she smiled and waved her hand. Under the shade of the tree, she smiled and shouted,

“Stone!”
