Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 865 - 436: Cursed Grandmaster
"Bone Spirit Tiger, regardless of whether Master Zhou is dead, he has become your heart demon. Your heart is already in turmoil. Even if he is dead, he still lives within your heart."
The elder still kept his eyes tightly shut, and the four figures spoke in unison, yet there seemed to be only one soul.
Before the Celestial Gate, the elder did not enhance his cultivation but instead relied on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to create four split forms.
While other cultivators were advancing rapidly, the elder's cultivation level actually declined, barely maintaining the level of a Grandmaster.
Keep in mind, before the Celestial Gate opened, the elder was the top expert of the Eastern Forest Kingdom. He needed just a finger to kill the Bone Spirit Tiger before him.
But now, in terms of sheer cultivation, even ten of him wouldn't match one Bone Spirit Tiger.
The Bone Spirit Tiger gazed silently at the elder, his spirit trembled, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of shame. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Master, you are right in your teachings. I will go and train diligently starting tomorrow."
Said the Bone Spirit Tiger with complexity.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder suddenly opened his eyes, and the four figures merged simultaneously, condensing into a single human form. At the same time, a lump of flesh protruded from the elder's forehead.
Three eyes tore open from his forehead, flickering with an eerie red glow.
Seeing this scene, the Bone Spirit Tiger was greatly shocked and hastily lowered his head, his expression even more respectful.
Even though he had already become a Grandmaster and had broken through the Celestial Gate, before his master, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
The reason being, the elder's power far exceeded his own.
Before the opening of the Celestial Gate, the master already had cultivation no less than a Grandmaster. Now, with the Celestial Gate open and Spiritual Qi of extreme density, the master's cultivation should be ever-increasing.
No matter when, cultivation is merely a facade. In true combat, what counts are the techniques.
The prowess of techniques cannot be discerned from the surface.
For everyone, the real killing moves lie beneath the surface.
Lu Zhenghun, the legendary Curse Master of the Eastern Forest Kingdom.
Different from ordinary people skilled in physical combat, his cultivation techniques were never simple physical combat but the deeply mysterious Curse Techniques to kill.
Twenty years ago, an expert in the Death Gate Realm challenged him, and due to verbal conflict, unexpectedly died suddenly at home before the duel.
After the incident, there was a widespread sensation, but months of investigation yielded no results.
The rumor in the martial world was that the person died not due to personal reasons but was cursed by Lu Zhenghun.
The Curse Technique has always been elusive because there was never any evidence.
But everyone believed it was the work of Lu Zhenghun.
The reasoning is simple, as Lu Zhenghun's past records were too terrifying.
The Eastern Forest Kingdom was just a small nation; logically, such a small nation wouldn't have top experts worthy of mention compared to the thousands of cultivators of the Dragon Country.
If judged solely by physical combat, Lu Zhenghun was indeed so; solely in terms of physical combat, he was not even in the top twenty of the Death Gate Realm.
Even some extraordinary experts could easily surpass him.
But Lu Zhenghun became renowned throughout the Chinese world not for physical prowess but for his cultivation of a strange Curse Technique.
Zhou Kuangtian and Lu Zhenghun, two extreme figures from the southern faction.
In the Southern Feng Shui sect, Zhou Kuangtian represented the King's Path Cultivation Technique, being well-versed in various sects' theories and revered as a Daoist theory master, also known as the Daoist Sect orthodox.
But Lu Zhenghun was different. Coming from a small, unwelcomed country, his teacher was a rebellious figure within the Southern Feng Shui sect.
It's said that his teacher once tried to challenge Zhou Kuangtian, and after being defeated, fled to the Eastern Forest Kingdom where he was rescued by the not-yet-renowned Lu Zhenghun, and since then, he inherited this person's teachings.
For some unknown reason, before his death, that elder bestowed all his lifelong learning to Lu Zhenghun.
Lu Zhenghun seemed to be innately adept at Curse Techniques, astonishingly advancing several cultivation levels within merely two decades, killing two Death Gate Realm experts with only a Peak Cultivator's status.
In the Chinese world, the name of the King of Curses, Lu Zhenghun, is known to all.
When Qin Wenwu was alive, he once toured the Eastern Forest Kingdom, but even then, he never provoked this person.
Some say Qin Wenwu looked down on his origins, but others say Qin Wenwu couldn't guarantee avoiding the Curse Techniques.
Lu Zhenghun was always mysterious, and due to his poor physical combat skills, he rarely appeared in public, usually represented by figures like the Bone Spirit Tiger.
Lu Zhenghun rose to prominence late, so he wasn't the Bone Spirit Tiger's first master.
After his rise, the Bone Spirit Tiger challenged him out of dissatisfaction but was subdued in a single move during the challenge.
The Bone Spirit Tiger's strength was indeed formidable, yet his reliance on physical combat, even when honed to the extreme, could not withstand the Curse Techniques.
Lu Zhenghun merely extended a finger, lightly dipped it in blood, wrote a single word, and the Bone Spirit Tiger collapsed to the ground, convulsing as if electrocuted.
Ultimately, the Bone Spirit Tiger knelt and pleaded for mercy to escape death, becoming a disciple under Lu Zhenghun.
"Fifteen years ago, due to some personal matter, I went to Xiang Island. After completing the task, I discovered a treasured Feng Shui land, intending to claim it and establish a branch on Xiang Island, not expecting Zhou Kuangtian would come to confront me.
