Inside the courtyard.
Zhong Shenxiu wantonly brandished his fists and feet, every move and every stance filled with an incomparably vigorous strength.
White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird …
He had combined the four aspects of the Ten Directions Beast Art into one.
He took deep breaths, and people could vaguely hear the roars of tigers and leopards, the Spirit Tortoise, and the Heavenly Toad swallowing the sun.
With a slight movement, endless power gushed out, accompanied by extremely hard skin, making Chung Shen-soo look like a real ferocious beast in human form — a Demonic Ape!
"The Victorious Ape Fighting Technique is indeed the general outline of the Ten Directions Beast Tactics!"
After a long time, Chung Shen-soo withdrew his fist and sighed to himself.
He had borrowed the Ten Directions Beast Tactics from the government's martial arts library without any trouble, which was the most widely circulated martial art in the army.
This martial art was based on the Victorious Ape Fighting Technique, and it commanded nine martial arts techniques, including White Tiger's Seven Kill Fist, Azure Dragon's Cloud Exploring Palm, Black Tortoise's Hundred Refinements Armor, Vermilion Bird's Sky Burning Palm, Spirit Tortoise's Breath, Mammoth Vigor, Reckless Bull's Hardening Skin, Tiger Leopard's Thunder Roar, and Heavenly Toad's Sun-Swallowing Spell.
Chung Shen-soo glanced at the stats window:
[Title: Herdsman]
[Four Arts: Level 3]
[Ten Directions Beast Tactics: Level 3 (Unupgradeable)]
[Mystic Yin Soul Control Fragment: Level 3 (Unupgradeable)]
[Tenxiu Point: 0 (5%)]
[Door of All Doors: Opening (15%)]
…
"With the help of the Vengeful Spirit and Tenxiu Point, I've cultivated the Ten Directions Beast Tactics to the peak of the mortal world. The next step is to find a way to cultivate the True Body of All Beasts. This is a real Daoist technique, and it has always been tightly controlled by the government … I don't have a clean background, so I probably won't be able to get it …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed. "Maybe with Tenxiu Point, I can forcefully upgrade the Ten Directions Beast Tactics to the level of a Daoist technique? But I'll need more than 20 Tenxiu Point … "
Even though he had obtained the treasures in the armory, Chung Shen-soo found that although his martial arts had improved a little, he still had a long way to go before he could break through to the Innate Realm.
This was also the biggest bottleneck that many martial artists encountered.
Without a fortuitous encounter, one would never be able to take this step and truly step into the Dao.
However, he had reaped some benefits from this period of cultivation.
"I can roughly guess that the method to refine the Myriad Beast True Body is to kill and devour the souls of wild beasts and monsters … No, it's not souls, it's killing intent!"
The earth has the evil spirit, humans have the evil spirit, wild beasts and demonic beasts also have the evil spirit of beasts!
In the so-called Stellar Fiend Stage, the Stellar Qi and Baleful Qi that one refined were actually a type of spirit energy of heaven and earth!
"The spirit energy of heaven and earth can be transformed into all kinds of qi!"
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself. "In reality, cultivators don't need external help. By meditating every day, they can slowly absorb the Stellar Qi and Baleful Qi that they need from the spirit energy of heaven and earth. However, this method is too slow … Perhaps they need to meditate for years or even decades before they can accumulate a suitable amount of Baleful Qi. Others, on the other hand, can casually find a strand of Baleful Qi from the outside world and refine it to have the same level of cultivation. Therefore, they are fools who cultivate themselves. The difference between humans and animals is that they know how to use tools."
"The Ten Directions Beast Tactics is the foundational chapter of a Daoist technique. The entry to the Stellar Fiend Stage of this Daoist technique is to cultivate the evil spirit of beasts …"
Unfortunately, even though he knew this and even collected a strand of evil spirit of beasts, he still could not step into the Dao without knowing the method.
"Daoist technique, Daoist technique …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed. It was not easy to obtain it from the government. Even if he could obtain it, it might not be the best.
Other than that, there was another way, and that was to cultivate in a sect!
For example, Feng Xi 'er and the spiritual crane were from Mirrorcloud Sect.
However, although there were many such cultivation sects in Yan Han, they were like dragons soaring in the clouds. Even if they wanted a disciple, they must have a clean background, be talented, and be fated with the Dao.
Needless to say, there were also powerful sects and aristocratic families who racked their brains to squeeze outstanding disciples into them.
Therefore, this method was similar to that of the government.
In particular, if they did not mention it, Chung Shen-soo did not know of any cultivation sects. Feng Xi 'er would not tell him where the mountain gate of Mirrorcloud Sect was.
However, he heard that there were some real cultivation sects that followed the ancient orthodoxy. They did not look at the background or even the aptitude of their disciples. They only looked at the world and fate. Even if the disciple was a beggar, as long as the disciple was pleasing to the eye, they could accept him as a disciple.
It was a pity that the fate of immortals was ethereal and could not be forced.
"My status is too low … Looks like it's time for Childe Shen-soo to appear."
Chung Shen-soo came up with an idea.
Su Daozhi was a connate master and a minor official of the ninth rank. His background was not clean either, and he would only be able to rise to the eighth rank in his lifetime.
Basically, he should not even think about entering the Dao through cultivation.
Chung Shen-soo also wanted to manage this identity well and develop it steadily as a cover.
Apart from that, for the sake of Tenxiu Point and other needs, he could let Childe Shen-soo make an appearance.
With the profession of herder and the ability of vengeful spirits, he would not be afraid even if he pretended to be a divine-tier master.
When that time came, Su Daozhi would not be able to enter the high-end cultivation circles, but Childe Shen-soo could easily enter.
"I still need to plan this well, especially how to hide my identity …"
Chung Shen-soo let out a long breath and summoned Huang Xie and Loopy Clam. "I have a cultivation method here called connate qigong. It's a Qi cultivation method. I'll pass it on to you now."
"Thank you, my lord."
Huang Xie's eyes filled with tears as he hurriedly pulled Loopy Clam to his knees and bowed.
To them, this was a chance to change their lives.
Many so-called martial arts masters would have to fight for many years to obtain some true martial arts manuals, even if they were slaves to powerful families.
A few days ago, when Chung Shen-soo said he wanted to pass on his cultivation, Huang Xie had thought it would take a few years or something.
Who would have thought that it would be passed on so easily?
"I came across this connate qigong by accident, so there's no harm in passing it on to you … Listen, connate qi is guarded by the infant …"
Chung Shen-soo repeated the incantation three times, but the two dogs still could not remember it. He choked and rolled his eyes. "Forget it … I'll write it down for you tonight and burn it after memorizing it. I can't pass it on to a third person."
"This connate qigong focuses on breathing and uses various movement techniques to absorb the world's origin energy to slowly refine the body, but it doesn't have any methods to cultivate acupuncture points."
After all, this was a method he had fumbled through himself, so he did not have the time to measure each acupuncture point. It was not like the Spirit Turtle's Breathing Technique that opened thirty-six acupuncture points to reach the peak of the connate realm.
This was also the reason why Chung Shen-soo could tell that the connate qigong was inferior to the Spirit Turtle's Breathing Technique.
"It's enough, it's enough."
Huang Xie quickly nodded his head, "It's fine if we cultivate the method to break through to the connate realm. As long as we break through to the connate realm, we'll be able to shake our heads when we return to the clan. If we catch the eye of a noble, we might even be able to cultivate in the ancestral land and receive the bloodline inheritance. We'll have everything then."
Chung Shen-soo knew about this. After all, the War Hounds Tribe was weak, they were still a different race. They had experts at the Astral Fiend Realm or even the Divine Ability Realm.
Only Huang Xie and Loopy Clam's position in the War Hounds Tribe was equivalent to Yan Han's exiled commoners, unable to advance any further.
If they could break through to the connate realm, perhaps they would be valued when they returned to the clan. Just like a scholar passing the imperial exams, they would soar into the sky and have everything they wanted.
It was a pity that this kind of bloodline inheritance was only suitable for the War Hounds Tribe.
When Chung Shen-soo heard this, his heart was a bit speechless. "Why do I feel like I'm not as good as these two dogs?"
