Chapter 254: 254 Sword Technique of Conviction



Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Sword Technique of Conviction

“First, let’s open ten Copper Fortune Bags and ten Silver Luck Bags!”

Zhou Heng, now having plenty of stock, was naturally quite generous about opening the bags, planning on drawing in some luck with twenty “ordinary” Fortune Bags before going for Gold Fortune Bags.

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Martial Arts Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt [Seventh Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve hit the jackpot! You’ve obtained a special ability card: Stealth.”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained one thousand, one hundred and eleven taels of Gold.”

“Congratulations! You’ve hit the jackpot! You’ve obtained a basic attribute: +1 special attack against demon types.”

“Congratulations! You’ve hit the jackpot! You’ve obtained a special ability card: Clairvoyance.”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Martial Arts Great Strength Vajra Finger [Seventh Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Martial Arts Sky-Earth Striking Method [Secret Six Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained a Breaking Card: Sky-barking Dog [Secret Six Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained a Magic Weapon Replica Design: Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover [Secret Six Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Martial Arts Innate Formless Sword Finger [Secret Six Rank].”

“Congratulations! You’ve obtained an additional property: +1 Heaviness.”

This series of reward prompts made Zhou Heng grin from ear to ear.

The harvest from opening the Fortune Bags this time was quite good; many things were very useful.

Among them, Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt and Great Strength Vajra Finger and other Seventh Rank Martial Arts could further enhance his close combat capabilities, suitable for comparative battles.

Meanwhile, techniques like Sky-Earth Striking Method and Innate Formless Sword Finger were capable of strengthening his methods on a transcendent level, fitting for encounters with the top ranks of the fighters list, and also for preparing to step into the Secret Six Rank in the future.

However, among the special ability cards he obtained this time, there were two that puzzled Zhou Heng.

Those were Stealth and Clairvoyance.

Putting these two special abilities together gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

“Stealth Card: Can shield the user from the perception of others, entering a special state of invisibility, undetectable by anyone below the Divine First Rank.”

“Clairvoyance Card: Can clairvoyantly inspect any creature to various extents, undetectable by anyone below the Divine First Rank.”

The effects were indeed decent.

They’ll probably be used in some special situations.

Besides these, what Zhou Heng cared about the most were the Breaking Card and the Magic Weapon Replica Design.

“Breaking ‘Sky-barking Dog’ Card: Can transform into the legendary demon immortal ‘Sky-barking Dog,’ with the transformation state’s Cultivation Realm restricted to the Secret Six Rank. Duration of one hour, only the time used is deducted upon reverting, can be reused, and becomes invalid when the usage time resets.”

This was essentially a treasure that could temporarily boost his strength to the Secret Six Rank level, even though it meant turning into a dog – albeit a legendary one – it was still becoming a dog.

However, the Sky-barking Dog seemed to possess quite a few special skills, which might come in handy in the future?

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Heng’s attention returned to the design of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

“Magic Weapon ‘Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover’ Replica Design: Collect the materials as shown and strictly follow the steps to refine a replica of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, a Secret Six Rank Magic Weapon.”

Zhou Heng was, of course, familiar with the great reputation of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

This was the famous treasure used by the Bear “Family Head” Taiyi Zhenren in the legends of deification, who, to favor his own bear cub Nezha, burned to death the immortal Shi Ji from the Jiejiao sect who came to seek justice.

Shi Ji was no ordinary character; she was born at the beginning of the universe, had attained Dao for countless tens of thousands of years, had profound cultivation and exquisite mana, was a disciple of the Sect Hierarch, and possessed numerous magic weapons. In the end, however, she was reduced to her original form by being refined by the Nine Dragons God Fire Cover.

This shows just how formidable this treasure was.

Moreover, treasures that ascended to godhood always excelled at killing enemies far stronger than their wielders.

If Zhou Heng could truly produce an imitation of the Nine Dragons God Fire Cover, he had no doubt that even with his Seventh Rank, he could use this treasure to refine some not-so-incredibly powerful Secret Six Rank beings to death.

“Good stuff,” Zhou Heng’s eyes shone brightly.

But looking at the strange materials listed on the imitation diagram, he felt very unfamiliar, and as for the steps of refinement, he was even more puzzled and could not understand them at all.

“It seems I still need to find an opportunity to ask Shi Ji,” Zhou Heng thought to himself, not expecting that he had just planned on building a good relationship with Shi Ji for long-term cooperation, and now the time had come to make use of it.

The gains from the ten Copper Fortune Bags and ten Silver Fortune Bags were quickly tallied up.

Next was the exciting moment for the Gold Fortune Bags.

However, Zhou Heng did not immediately start opening the Gold Fortune Bags.

He first found a clear stream and carefully washed his hands three times, then cast a Gentle Rain Spell to perform an even deeper cleanse on his hands.

After completing the cleansing of his hands, he closed his eyes, exhaled gently, and then inhaled gently.

This cycle was repeated nine times, attracting pure elemental energy from heaven and earth, which twined around him, making the air much fresher and cleaner than before.

After making all these preparations, Zhou Heng felt he had washed away all mundane impurities and calmed his mood, and finally decided to open this Gold Fortune Bag.

“Open the Gold Fortune Bag!”

“Congratulations! Your luck is off the charts! You have obtained the Martial Arts ‘Sword Technique of Conviction'[Absolute Fourth Rank].”

Sword Technique of Conviction?

Zhou Heng’s gaze slightly sharpened, his heart involuntarily filled with some anticipation.

The Overturning Heaven Three Palms he obtained last time was the basis for the Overturning Sky Seal in the Primordial Gold Chapter, and since this time was also a burst of good luck, it should not be bad, right?

He focused his attention.

“[Absolute Fourth Rank]Sword Technique of Conviction: This is the basic martial art of the ‘Slaughter Immortal Sword’ from the ‘Jade Record of Spiritual Treasures’, consisting of eighteen layers, divided into two techniques, ‘Time Is Unpredictable’ and ‘Years Eternal’.”

It really was this!

The basis of the Spiritual Treasure Four Swords, the basis of the Slaughter Immortal Sword!

Sword Technique of Conviction!

The Gold Fortune Bag was as reliable as ever.

Zhou Heng was very excited.

Spiritual Treasure, also known as the Heavenly Sovereign or the Sect Hierarch, was a legendary supreme being. The Four Swords from the Jade Record of Spiritual Treasures was His legacy, supreme teachings, supreme arts, supreme opportunities, supreme fortunes!

Moreover, unlike the Overturning Heaven Three Palms which could only execute the first technique, ‘Heaven and Earth Capsized’ at low proficiency, the Sword Technique of Conviction could perform both techniques even if only cultivated to the first layer.

“The Slaughter Immortal Sword is a sword of time, being the basis for the Slaughter Immortal Sword in the Jade Record of Spiritual Treasures, the two techniques of the Sword Technique of Conviction naturally focus on time, with divine effects in manipulating time.”

“Time Is Unpredictable: With the sword of time, accelerate the flow of time, altering the current state of beings or things. When cultivated to a higher level, it even has marvelous effects like hastening the flow of time and reducing the lifespan of all things.

“Years Eternal: With the sword of the years, stop the flow of time, forcibly keeping beings or things in their current state, unable to change. When cultivated to a higher level, it even has marvelous effects like freezing time, solidifying the passage of lifespans for all things.”

Such peerless teachings, such grand methods!

They could be described as defying the heavens!
