Killing God - Chapter 294
Chapter 294 Distinguishing Symbol
According to what Shen Shi knew in the past, the Five Elements Technique should have originated from the period before and after the Battle of the Human Demons. Naturally, there was no way to verify what the real situation was. The birth and rise of the Five Elements Technique in the human cultivation world was also divergent. Some said that it was created by the six human saints who had shocking talent in the past. It was also said that after the great war, an unknown person accidentally discovered a Dao Art, and it rose from there. Some people even directly said that the history of the Five Elements Technique was actually far longer than people had imagined. It was the ancient era that existed in the world, and it had always been passed down privately amongst the human race. Only after knowing that the human race had risen did it flourish.
In short, all kinds of arguments were contradictory, and the origin of the Five Elements Technique gradually became a mystery amidst this kind of controversy. However, one thing everyone recognized was that the Five Elements Technique was a technique unique to the human race. All other races, including Demon race, who ruled the entire Primordial Chaos World in the past, did not know the Five Elements Technique.
At the bottom of Shen Shi’s sea of books, these countless ancient scrolls belonged to the Heavenly Yao Royal Court ten thousand years ago. In other words, they were almost all scrolls left behind by Demon race.
In the ancient books of Demon race, you actually saw the words Five Elements Technique, Obviously, it was a very rare and strange thing. Adding on Shen Shi’s current cultivation, he didn’t seem to be any different from other cultivators on the surface. However, it was actually because of the Yin Yang Curse that his strength was almost 70% in the Five Elements Technique. Therefore, he was particularly interested in the Five Elements Technique.
This time, when he saw the words “Five Elements Technique Complex Theory”, he couldn’t move his gaze away. After he got it in his hand, he quickly immersed himself in the words in the book.
When he was a child, Shen Shi had heard some legends and stories. The people in the stories would often obtain some benefits strangely. If it was now, he might be able to pick up a heaven-shaking secret manual that recorded heaven-shaking divine arts and techniques. After cultivating, he would naturally be invincible in this world. Such a story had once given him many beautiful memories and fantasies when he was young, but now that he had grown up and seen the hardships and vicissitudes of life, that little dream of his had unknowingly dissipated.
This book was written by Demon race, Ancient is ancient, However, it had nothing to do with some secret manual, Throughout the book, he did not record any cultivation methods. Instead, from the perspective of a bystander, he recorded the appearance characteristics of some humans using the Five Elements Technique, and judged them. In some places, he even speculated on their strengths and weaknesses, which was completely different from the books on the Five Elements Technique that Shen Shi had read in the past.
In other words, this book was actually the end of the Heavenly Yao Royal Court. The human race had already risen, and the Human Yao War was in full swing. A person from Demon race had some inferences about the Five Elements Technique. Judging from the original meaning of his words, it seemed that he wanted to use it to find some weaknesses in the Five Elements Technique and attack the human race better.
However, today, the world was full of vicissitudes. The humans were thriving while the demons were declining. Even the people who wrote the books back then would definitely disappear into thin air. Shen Shi held the ancient book in his hand and flipped through it page by page. However, he gradually felt an unexpected sense of broadening his horizons.
It turned out that there were many differences between the Five Elements Technique 10,000 years ago during the human-demon war and today. According to the records of this Demon race Wuming, the power of the Five Elements Technique used by humans at that time was often extremely powerful, forming a stark contrast to the weak flesh of humans. In terms of strength alone, Demon race was undoubtedly able to completely defeat the human race. However, the Five Elements Technique that the human race released after they started cultivating was actually able to deal a great deal of threat and damage to Demon race’s extremely powerful body. In the long history of the Human Demon War, this had always been a headache for Demon race.
In addition, The Demon race John Doe author was also a man of great insight, In this ancient book, He recorded dozens of Five Elements spells and their characteristics when casting spells, Shen Shi took a closer look and soon discovered that more than half of them were unfamiliar to him. He had been very interested in the Five Elements Technique since he was young. He had read quite a few books of this kind. Even though he had not cultivated many high-grade techniques, he still knew some general information. However, he could only barely determine the general attributes of these ancient spells from the appearance of the written records. In addition, there were nine recorded spells in the book. Shen Shi felt that he had some impressions of them, as if they were very similar to some of the current Five Elements Spells.
These spells were high-level and low-level, Moreover, there were all five elements of the Golden Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Shen Shi corresponded to them one by one, and immediately discovered that none of the nine Five Elements Spells were the most famous among the many spells of the same level. It seemed that after thousands of years of tempering and tempering, they were practically the most perfect form of spells.
Shen Shi compared it with the spells he had cultivated before and discovered that he had actually cultivated three of them. Two of them were Tier 1 spells, Fireball and Water Arrow, and the other was Heavenly Lightning Strike from Tier 2 spells.
For some reason, Shen Shi was still delighted to see that three of the techniques he had cultivated were listed among them, and that they had endured the test of a long time. However, he soon noticed something unusual. He had cultivated the Yin Yang Curse, the secret technique of the Heavenly Yao Imperial Clan of the Monster race, which surprisingly made the Five Elements Technique different from the others. But why did the records in this book show that the Five Elements Technique used by almost all the human cultivators back then was exceptionally powerful to the demon race?
This suspicion was truly strange. Shen Shi was lost in thought for a moment, but he didn’t notice a single figure walking beside him. He first sized him up, then glanced at the Five Elements Technique Complex in his hand, and then said,
“Young man, what are you thinking?”
Shen Shi suddenly woke up from his shock and took a step back. He discovered that the old man standing beside him was the old man with a white goatee. Seeing the kind expression on his face and the gentle smile on his face, Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “I was obsessed with reading just now and didn’t notice what happened around me. Senior, please forgive me.”
The goatee said “Oh”, but he looked at him with interest and smiled, “You call me senior?”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, “Uh, yes, is there something wrong?”
The old man chuckled, waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.” As he spoke, he glanced at the ancient book in his hand and smiled. “Why are you reading this book? As far as I know, most of the direct disciples of the Lingxiao Sect Sect are wholeheartedly cultivating Dao Arts and Divine Abilities. Few people pay attention to the Five Elements Arts.”
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “Indeed. However, I have always liked these things since I was young, so I accidentally saw them just now. I was delighted to see them, so I picked them up and flipped through them. But unfortunately …”
As he spoke, he shook his head with a look of regret on his face. The goatee old man was surprised and asked with a smile, “What’s a pity?”
Shen Shi casually flipped the book backwards. At the same time, he said, “It’s a pity that there isn’t a single cultivation technique in this book. Otherwise, I would have learned a Five Elements Technique for nothing.”
The goatee old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said with a smile, “Brat, you wish you were beautiful. Does this mean you want to take advantage of Demon race ten thousand years ago?”
Shen Shi also laughed. Just as he turned his head, the ancient book in his hand turned to the last page. Suddenly, he let out a “yi” sound, as if he had discovered something. Suddenly, he lowered his head and pressed down on the flipped page. His gaze brightened a bit, but he looked towards the last page of the ancient book.
The white-haired goatee old man was also shocked by his actions. He thought to himself that he hadn’t noticed anything unusual when he read this book just now. It was just that Demon race didn’t know the so-called speculative delusions back then, and it was even more useless for the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique. Curiosity arose for a moment, and he moved his head closer to look at the last page of the scroll with Shen Shi.
On the ancient and somewhat yellowed page, there weren’t many words on the last page, but there were a few strange and complicated patterns drawn on it.
Shen Shi stared at these patterns with a surprised expression on his face. “Talisman patterns?”
The old man with a goatee beside him was shocked again. He also revealed a slightly surprised expression. However, he turned to look at Shen Shi and asked curiously, “You actually recognized him?”
However, he paused for a moment. It was as if he had thought of something, He shook his head. He thought to himself that he was also confused, Any cultivator who has cultivated the Five Elements Technique, It was not uncommon to come into contact with talismans. It was not difficult to discern similar talismans. It was difficult to see how complicated and difficult it was to comprehend a talisman’s Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Ten Types of Talismans. Then, the various talismans matched to form a complex formation. After carefully drawing on the talisman paper, how could anyone else understand the subtleties and difficulties involved?
He secretly laughed in his heart. He shrugged and didn’t say anything else. Just as he was thinking about whether he should turn around and leave, he suddenly saw Shen Shi frowning beside him. His eyes revealed a hint of doubt. At the same time, his fingers lightly moved on the strange runes on the page. A moment later, he said, “Strange, it seems like this runes isn’t quite right.”
“Huh?” This time, the goatee old man’s voice was slightly raised. He looked at Shen Shi with bright eyes and asked after a while, “What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Shen Shi’s attention was focused on the page. In addition, this old man’s gentle attitude did not mean any harm, so he did not pay any particular attention to it. He said casually,
“There are some things wrong with this rune. This is a water archery rune formation, but the nine strokes under the third rune are all deviated by three points. Also, this was the ‘Earth Settling Technique’ formation, and the thirteenth and twenty-second strokes of the second runes were also incorrectly drawn. “Oh, and this last ‘Fireball Technique’ formation is even more ridiculous. It should be three Yang Fire Symbols, but it was all drawn as Yin Fire Symbols. This is completely wrong …”
As he spoke, he shook his head. It seemed that he was somewhat helpless. He thought to himself that the person from Demon race was indeed a person from Demon race. He didn’t understand the Five Elements Technique at all, but the talisman pattern formation he drew was actually so terrible.
However, as he sighed, he did not notice that the goatee old man standing beside him had been staring at him. His eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile.
“Hey, kid.” After a while, the old man suddenly shouted at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi turned to look at him and said, “What’s wrong, Senior?”
The old man with the goatee gently moulded his chin and laughed.
“What’s your name?”

At the peak of Golden Rainbow Mountain, Cloud Sky Grand
Within the spacious hall, under layers of curtains, there was a thick and solemn aura. This was because this was the residence of the Sect Master of the Ling Xiao Sect from past generations, and it was also the place where many important matters of the Ling Xiao Sect were decided. Over the countless years, countless great Daoists who had moved the world had once dominated the world or lived leisurely in this place.
At this moment, there were five clean mats on the smooth floor of the hall. There were four people of different shapes sitting on them, all of them with extraordinary bearing like Dao Immortals.
The person in the middle was Adept Huaiyuan, the current sect leader of the Ling Xiao Sect. On his left was an old man with a tall and straight face. He looked like Elder Sun Mingyang. He was currently in charge of the Tool Hall and had a high reputation in the sect. He could be said to be a great figure above everyone else. At the lower right hand of Adept Huaiyuan was a beautiful woman. Her beautiful hair and temples were moving, and her expression was slightly calm. She was Elder Yun Ni Yun, who was in charge of the Pill Hall.
Next to Elder Yun Ni was a daoist-robed old man holding a golden silk jade whisk. His expression was clear and mediocre. Like the other three present, he was one of the five most prestigious elders in Lingxiao Sect. He was Elder Jin Zhanjin, who was currently in charge of the Spirit Beast Palace.
However, at this moment, the gazes of the four Grand Daoists, who were currently the most prestigious in Lingxiao Sect, all turned slightly and simultaneously landed on Elder Sun Ming Yang’s head, the only empty prayer mat in the hall.
The expressions of the other three remained unchanged. Only Elder Sun Ming Yang’s expression was slightly ugly. He turned his gaze to Sect Leader Huai Yuan and snorted coldly. There was a hint of impatience on his face. A trace of anger flashed across his face as he suddenly said angrily,
“Old Pu, you’ve only just entered the position of Grand Elder. How dare you dump us at the first meeting?”
As he spoke, his voice gradually grew louder and louder. Although he didn’t roar and curse loudly, there was actually a faint sound of wind and thunder rolling in the hall. From this, one could see the terrifying strength of an Origin Core Realm Daoist.
However, all of the people present were not simple characters. Elder Jin Zhan’s eyes were slightly closed and he sat upright, as if he hadn’t heard anything. Elder Yun Ni gave Adept Huai Yuan a faint glance and was similarly silent. A moment later, Sect Leader Huaiyuan glanced at Elder Sun Ming Yang. His eyes that contained the reflection of the stars flickered. He smiled calmly and kindly and said,
“It’s still early. There’s no harm in waiting.”
Sun Ming Yang nodded slightly, but he still seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied. He coldly looked at the empty futon beside him, and then he didn’t say anything else.
