Otherworldly Desert Dust

Within the secret chamber, only the Holy Scriptures were stored.

The original host's basic skills were actually quite solid. Wu Hen didn't really need to supplement those principles of Holy Breath that took over a decade to understand and operate, having inherited some cultivation memories engraved in the soul consciousness.

This feeling was like a musical score that was already very familiar.

If you asked yourself to write down the score, sorry, you certainly couldn't remember, but if you just placed your fingers on the piano keys, you could play it perfectly without missing a single note.

"Totem Blood Howl?"

When Wu Hen saw the name of this Advanced Saint Technique, he immediately recalled the image of the Purple Robed Master exhaling a Breath that scattered the fighting clothed humanity's strong men.

It must be this Totem Blood Howl!

"Crushing Earth Finger?"

Soon, Wu Hen spotted another powerful Holy Decision once used by the Purple Robed Master. The suffocating impact it had on the world was intensely strong.

No wonder it brought humans to despair.

People thought that reaching the Heavenly Brilliance Level, they could contend with the otherworldly beings.

Little did they know that the Heavenly Brilliance Level is a pond full of fish and dragons; most of them are just fish swimming in the pond, but a few have developed dragon-like features and are not far from Ascension.

Clearly, the Purple Robed Master was one such figure.

In that case, Master Jiao Zhu wasn't easy to deal with either.

Since he managed to firmly hold on to the leadership seat of the Red Port Holy Sect, he definitely had some capability to pressure the Purple Robed Master and force him to hunt outside.

"Blood Soul Technique?"

Wu Hen was curious and opened this Advanced Holy Technique.

After reading it, Wu Hen felt a chill!

He couldn't understand how the Totem Sacred Sect dared call itself a Holy Sect; it clearly acted with whimsical slaughter and bloodthirsty cruelty. Especially this Blood Soul Technique was similar to Western vampires, feeding one's essence blood to another person until the Totem's original blood in the person's body was mostly replaced, and then one could transfer their soul to another's body!

Damn, that was outright possession!

How could a reputed sect possess such cultivation spells?

And the book only documented one feasible method, seemingly requiring more detailed feeding of blood, meat, and organs...

It's unclear who would practice such a Holy Technique that required cutting one's own flesh, draining one's own blood, and even giving a kidney to someone else.

Doubtlessly a heretical sect!

Hmm, this technique looks pretty impressive, let's see if I can learn it.

"Giant Spirit Method, transforming using bloodlines, combat with the appearance of a Giant Spirit!"

Wu Hen had seen this technique, but usually it was many Holy Sect disciples coming together, using their Holy Power to summon a Giant Spirit General entirely composed of Holy Light.

Those Holy Sect Disciples who hadn't reached the Heavenly Brilliance Realm mainly played this role in significant battles.

The power of the Giant Spirit General could rival any Heavenly Brilliance.

Wu Hen read carefully and realized that one only needed to reach the Holy Golden Blood Realm to cultivate this Advanced Holy Technique.

The power of the Giant Spirit manifested would depend on the level of one's Physique.

So, reaching a Fourth Rank Physique meant the formed Giant Spirit General would also be at the Fourth Rank!

"Those disciples, the Giant Spirit Generals they summoned with all their Holy Breath were just Second Rank."

"If I learn this technique and couple it with my Physique that is about to evolve into Fourth Rank, wouldn't it be that activating this technique during that time would make me indestructible under Heavenly Brilliance Realm attacks!"

"Useful, this technique is useful, even just to stubbornly stall for time as a Golden Body!"

I must learn it!

Facing a First-class Heavenly Brilliance, Wu Hen would first need to summon the Sword Spirit Dragon, otherwise, he would soon be severely injured by the opponent.

Among the capabilities that could contend with a First-class Brilliance, there was only Cangxia Fist and the fully potent Thunder Crossing.

Having learned this Giant Spirit Method, he could also engage in close combat with a First-class Heavenly Brilliance!

"This thick volume can only be stealthily taken back now; after all, Cai Huang turns a blind eye to it." Wu Hen made no hesitation and tucked the Holy Scripture directly into his chest.

After browsing through some other Advanced Holy Techniques, it was evident that the archive guarded by Cai Huang had limited high-level Holy Techniques. If one day he could observe in the Holy Sect's main base, that would truly be gratifying!

Outside the secret chamber, Cai Ni was anxiously standing guard.

Her nervous demeanor was just like that of a lookout little sister.

She knew the rules of the Holy Sect, she dared not trespass!

Finally, Wu Hen emerged from inside, his chest noticeably bulging into a large rectangle, clearly having taken advantage of the situation!

Cai Ni was speechless.

You say he's unrestrained, yet he knows to cover it up with his clothes.

You say he's careful, yet the book he stole is thick like a chronicle of the Holy Sect, stretching his clothes, clearly indicating something was inside!

"How many did you take??"

"Just one," Wu Hen said. "An Advanced Holy Technique isn't going to be just a few thin pages. It detailed how to operate, how to manifest through willpower, and how every Holy Power connects in the meridians during use, including shouting out the name of the Holy Technique loudly during its activation, which is itself a mnemonic, enhancing the success rate and confidence..."

This Advanced Holy Technique was described very extensively, providing many different insights, hence as thick as a language dictionary.

"But many Holy Techniques can only be executed by Holy Children, what use is it to steal it?" Cai Ni didn't understand.

"Don't use this move." Wu Hen specifically took it out and shook it.

Cai Ni hurriedly stuffed it back into Wu Hen's embrace, frightened like a little quail.

Luckily, they were banished to the Outer Country of the Holy Sect. Had this been in the Inner Country, they might have been executed by now!

"An Advanced Saint Technique isn't something you can learn just by wanting to. You think just because you've had an epiphany, you can master such profound skills? You should take it step by step and practice some intermediate techniques first," Cai Ni said.

Not long ago, Cai Ni had still been teaching Wu Hen some Basic Techniques.

And now he was taking such a big step.

It was a bit fanciful.

"You underestimate your brother," Wu Hen said with a smile.

"It's not about underestimating. Only a genius like our second sister could grasp higher-level techniques at such a low realm. Do you even realize what status she holds now?" Cai Ni said.

"What if I succeed?" Wu Hen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Impossible!"

"If I do succeed, you'll call me brother," Wu Hen said.

"Huh?" Cai Ni didn't quite understand what he meant. Hadn't she always called him brother?

"The sincere kind," Wu Hen added.

This remark made Cai Ni's cheeks turn red instantly.

She hadn't expected him to have always seen through her thoughts.

But the thought of her thoughts being entirely transparent to him made her somewhat defiant, and she said fiercely, "If you learn it, from then on, you're my big brother, and I'll do whatever you say!"

"It's a deal," Wu Hen said.

When it came to taming girls, Wu Hen was an old hand.

Cai Ni was strong too. When the time came to battle with Master Jiao Zhu's faction, they would need Cai Ni to deal with his disciples to prevent them from summoning the Giant Spirit General, which could pose a threat to them.

However, Cai Ni was easy to control; Master Cai Huang was a bit more cunning.

What could he do to make this crafty old salted fish firmly stand by his side and follow him in taking down Jiao Zhu?

Cai Huang wasn't so easy to fool; he probably wouldn't make a move unless someone was holding a knife to his throat.

Moreover, without any good reason to kill Jiao Zhu, he would most likely just stand by and watch.

"Now Cai Huang is also trapped in Red Port. His first concern is survival in Red Port. And in Red Port, the only person who might kill him is Jiao Zhu; he wouldn't easily offend him!"

"Unless I can make him see Jiao Zhu incapacitated, convinced he can definitely take him down."

"Or perhaps if Jiao Zhu oversteps too much, leaving Cai Huang without prospects, and I, showing enough strength, can team up with him to eliminate him."

"I need a good plan!"

...

Red Port was still relatively peaceful.

But it was just the calm before the storm.

Having contemplated the Advanced Saint Technique for some days now, Wu Hen found that the principles it laid out were not beyond what he had learned in the Scroll Realm.

Uncle of Chongli Mountain, a reclusive expert indeed.

It wasn't until he reached this outside world that Wu Hen realized the Scroll Realm was truly a blessing to him; it didn't teach him abilities like ascending to the heavens or moving mountains and seas, but it allowed him to grasp the essence of all things. Even the profound techniques of the Totem Sacred Sect were rooted in the simplistic doctrines of the Ancient Clan.

With his own understanding added, Wu Hen had gradually mastered the essence of the Giant Spirit Method.

"Lord Wu Hen, your father has sent a piece of Abyss Demon Shark Meat, claiming its effects are second only to the blood of divine birds. Would you like to cook and try it?" Yang Qin said, carrying a refrigerated box, her face full of smiles.

Wu Hen's eyes lit up.

True to form as his father, in the barren Red Port, he had managed to find him a piece of Divine Meat!

Truthfully, this was just what he needed to break through to the Fourth Rank Physique.

Wu Yingting was a pure businessman, and he was thriving in Red Port, a place akin to gang-like powers.

Knowing that Wu Hen could evolve by eating, Wu Yingting had taken it upon himself to provide the evolutionary ingredients for Wu Hen; having previously managed to obtain a rare piece of Divine Meat, he had now acquired another...

It seemed that the little Red Port was somewhat restricting his talents!

"The only pity is that this piece of meat has been contaminated. If you eat it, you might suffer from some otherworldly contamination," Yang Qin warned.

"No problem, my Taste Spiritual Awakening can slowly detoxify. At this critical time, we can't be picky about cleanliness," Wu Hen said.

Finding it was good enough!

The contamination wouldn't take effect in the short term.

First, he would ascend to Fourth Rank; if there were problems later, he could find a solution!

Fourth Rank Physique would greatly enhance his overall strength, raising all his abilities significantly!

"I'll process it for a while to minimize its impact on your body," Yang Qin said.

Yang Qin now excelled in survival skills, especially with contaminated food. Such foods naturally included those Spritual Treasures that could induce evolution in creatures, which often came with side effects. If consumed in excess, toxins would accumulate.

The advantage of a Taste Spiritual Awakener now came into play, capable of not only detecting poison but also eliminating it... Even knowing the risks of contamination and toxicity, eating first to evolve and then detoxify was a viable strategy!
