Chapter 544: Chapter 321: Can any of you teach me the method of Dual Cultivation?

“Can I read this?”

Feng Qing’an’s divine consciousness swept through the jade slip glowing with starlight. His face revealed a look of astonishment. Although he had plundered many excellent items from these prodigies, none of them could be compared with what he was seeing now.

“The Da Zhou Heavenly Constellation Cultivation Skill.”

It was neither a cultivation skill nor a divine power, but a special technique for refining vitality. Furthermore, it was a technique suitable for cultivators of the Immortal Way, particularly those with vigorous and robust vitality.

He had only taken a cursory look, but Feng Qing’an was deeply shocked. He felt as though he was gazing up at the infinitely vast and profound starry cosmos, with endless mysteries and changes contained within, where the principles of the Dao were evolving.

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Hua Qingyu blinked her eyes.

“I do want it, but I don’t want to be hunted down by your Star Lodging Sect yet!”

Cherishing one’s own unique skills is a characteristic shared by almost all forces. No sect or faction would allow their core teachings to spread. To ensure this, various forbidden and secret methods were constantly being innovated and updated.

However, regardless of how ingenious these techniques were, none of them surpassed the oldest and most effective method – silencing by killing. As long as all who coveted the teachings were completely exterminated, then there would be no need to worry about the teachings being leaked.

Hence, what Feng Qing’an gathered from those prodigies were the fortuitous gains of their own, unrestricted by their sects, and without any hesitation. Furthermore, Feng Qing’an was not particularly picky and considered them acceptable.

However, what Hua Qingyu gave him was a secret passed down through the Immortal Sects. These were teachings he should not possess. If he touched them, there were only two possible outcomes, either join with the teachings or be annihilated with them.

“Why would they hunt you down?”

Hua Qingyu was perplexed by Feng Qing’an’s words.

“You don’t think this is the ultimate heritage of the Star Lodging Sect, do you?”

“Isn’t it?”

Feng Qing’an’s expression became subtle. How could such a conspicuous characteristic be unrelated to the Star Lodging Sect?

When his divine consciousness probed, what he saw was the starry sky, with each star corresponding to an acupoint in the human body. It seemed like a method for refining vitality, but with a slight extension, it was an advanced body refining method, different from martial arts, and a method for cultivators of the Immortal Way to forge their physiques.

“Don’t worry, this is a method I have comprehended based on my own constitution. This is my personal secret technique, Hua Qingyu, and has nothing to do with my sect. If you think it’s good, feel free to use it!”

“Your personal secret technique?!”

Feng Qing’an stared intently at Hua Qingyu. Not that he looked down on this disciple of Taoism, but the grandeur of this method and the ancient timeless aura it radiated, were simply not something that a cultivator of her age could comprehend.

This wasn’t about finding an excuse to show off her sorrow with a new story. No matter how exceptional her talents were, it wasn’t possible for her to comprehend such a method at this level. It’s like an eleven-year-old poet creating timeless poetry half a century ahead, recounting his lifetime. It was simply impossible.

“Umm, don’t look at me like that. This is genuinely my creation, though I did reference many other methods!”

Under the pressure of Feng Qing’an’s gaze, the young girl could only admit the truth. Indeed, this was her own method, but her contribution to it was minimal.

“I see, you can keep this method for yourself. I may not join the Star Lodging Sect in the future. If I take it now, there’s a risk of being killed. I don’t want to be hunted right now.”

While Feng Qing’an didn’t outright refuse, he had no intention of joining the Immortal Sects. Even if the Star Lodging Dao Sect, supported by Hua Qingyu could overlook thousands of years of heritage, he needed to maintain his distance.

Before he became the true Supreme of All Spirits, the various characteristics contained within his physique absolutely couldn’t be revealed in front of others. The Bead of Heaven and Earth he wore could temporarily conceal his aura, but it could not erase the features of his Supreme Body.

If he stayed in one place for a long time, it would inevitably cause earth-shattering changes to everything around him. Initially when he first acquired the Supreme Body, vegetables in terrains became spirits. Now, the influence he exerts on his surroundings would be even more exaggerated if he didn’t restrain himself.

While there are adages like “a thief can’t be on guard for a thousand days”, if he were to join a sect, he couldn’t possibly be constantly mindful of the influence he has on his surroundings every day. If he were to let his guard down, even Feng Qing’an didn’t dare to imagine his fate then.

“Feng Qing’an, do you really mistrust me so much? How could I possibly harm you? Although this method also contains the Tao of the heavenly constellations, it’s something I comprehended from an extraterrestrial wondrous stone.”

“Extraterrestrial Wondrous Stone?”

Feng Qing’an’s face showed surprise.

“I got it from the Heavenly Market Enclosure.”

The blonde girl revealed a proud and triumphant look.

“Wait, what do you mean by ‘extraterrestrial’?”

Feng Qing’an asked.

Indeed, only by interacting with these prodigies of Taoism could he learn about information that ordinary cultivators and mortals could hardly touch.

“The space that exists outside the world we live in is considered ‘extraterrestrial’.”

Upon hearing Feng Qing’an and Hua Qingyu’s conversation, a prodigy couldn’t help but interject.

“What’s in the ‘extraterrestrial’? What does it look like?”

Feng Qing’an couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“There’s no use in asking us. If you want to know what the ‘extraterrestrial’ looks like, it’s best to ask an immortal. However, the precondition is that the immortal you find is willing to tell you.”
