Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 784 - 767: Pseudo-Immortal Technique, Lan Daoist Unleashes Power!

The wind, the biting gale, a gale even more biting than the "Nine Heavens Gang Wind," swept across the sky, engulfing both Zhouyang and Lan Daoist completely.

It is said, clouds follow the dragon, and tigers follow the wind.

The "Cyan Scale Tiger" as an exotic beast inherently possesses the talent of calling and controlling the wind. At the cultivation level of the "Cyan Scale Demon King," this talent divine technique has been developed to its peak.

He integrated his comprehension of the Wind Attribute Law into his talent divine technique, making the gale carry the powerful Power of Laws, leaving enemies engulfed in the gale without any means to dodge, forcing them to withstand his onslaught directly.

This originally inconspicuous wind-calling talent has turned into a formidable killing move.

The wind has no fixed shape, it is everywhere.

When this all-encompassing gale carries the powerful force of the Wind Attribute Law, it becomes the most terrifying force in the world.

Even more terrifying is that the "Cyan Scale Demon King" himself is unaffected by the gale and can move like the wind, eerily slaying enemies with ghostly unpredictability.

The gale greatly hindered Zhouyang's divine sense, eyesight, and hearing, making it hard for him to anticipate the pounce of the "Cyan Scale Tiger."

At the first encounter, he nearly had his chest torn open and his heart pulled out by a single claw.

Despite entering a half-dragon, half-human transformation state immediately after getting this injury, he was still unable to change his extremely passive disadvantageous situation.

This experience made Zhouyang understand profoundly the importance of mastering the Power of Laws.

Just look at his current situation.

If you comprehend the laws deeply enough and master a substantial amount of Power of Laws, even the simplest magic or divine technique can unleash incredibly formidable power.

The "Cyan Scale Demon King" taught him a vivid practical lesson on this today.

"Inversion of Heaven and Earth, Reversing Yin and Yang, Five Elements Breaking Technique, break!"

In the gale, Lan Daoist's loud shout suddenly rang out.

Zhouyang only saw a brilliant five-colored spiritual light soar into the sky, causing the raging gale to halt instantaneously, as if it had been severed.

A great opportunity!

Although unaware of which powerful divine technique Lan Daoist used to achieve this, Zhouyang's battle-hardened Magical Combat experience made him keenly aware that this was an excellent chance to counterattack.

With an angry roar in his half-dragon, half-human form, his fists crossed before his chest, a seemingly real yet illusory cyan and gold dragon head giant blade materialized and flew directly towards the "Cyan Scale Tiger," which had revealed itself due to the broken divine technique.

The "Cyan Scale Tiger," sensing the might of the cyan and gold dragon head giant blade, was unwilling to take it head-on and immediately moved, preparing to use the Wind Escape Technique to dodge.

But in the next moment, as it attempted to escape, its body fell out from dozens of meters away, revealing a horrifying blade wound several meters long on its demon body.

Roar!

The sky-piercing giant tiger, its body covered in cyan scales, let out an angry roar, instantly forming countless cyan Wind Blades that shot densely towards Zhouyang.

However, this time without the constriction of the Gale Domain, how could Zhouyang take a Great Demon King's attack head-on again?

With a flash of golden light at his feet, his figure disappeared instantly, reappearing dozens of miles away in an area without wind.

Simultaneously, a dreamy blue light sphere suddenly exploded beside the "Cyan Scale Tiger," transforming into a series of immortal palaces and pavilions, dragging the "Cyan Scale Tiger" into it.

"We must leave quickly, it has been trapped by my Pseudo-Immortal Technique and cannot escape for at least a quarter of an hour!"

Lan Daoist's figure suddenly appeared by Zhouyang's side, speaking with a slightly urgent tone.

Pseudo-Immortal Technique?

Zhouyang looked at Lan Daoist with surprise.

Only now did he notice that although Lan Daoist's complexion hadn't changed, his aura was much weaker than before, indicating a significant consumption of magical power.

This made him hold back the words he wanted to say, instead nodding and letting Lan Daoist lead him in their escape.

Lan Daoist used some escape technique unknown to Zhouyang, moving at a speed that was no slower than a typical Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul Cultivator's.

Yet Zhouyang clearly noticed his aura declining steadily, indicating that this escape technique was greatly taxing on him.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, use these Spirit Marrow Stones to replenish your magical power."

Zhouyang waved his hand and handed a large piece of Spirit Marrow Stone to Lan Daoist.

Actually, he never understood what exactly was Lan Daoist's current situation.

In terms of consciousness, Lan Daoist undoubtedly possessed independent awareness and personality as a "free person."

But Lan Daoist's body was clearly not a human body, nor was it an external incarnation like his own; it resembled more of a special puppet.

However, a puppet's magical power all comes from internal spirit stones or similar items, and Lan Daoist wasn't like that.

Yet now, after Lan Daoist took the Spirit Marrow Stone, Zhouyang was stunned by his action.

Lan Daoist directly pressed that large piece of Spirit Marrow Stone, the size of a baby's head, into his chest, merging it into his body.

Zhouyang pursed his lips, forcing himself to suppress his curiosity and not question it.

Instead, he posed a different question regarding a doubt he had been pondering.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, what was that about the Pseudo-Immortal Technique you just mentioned? It's the first time I've heard of it."

He understood that Tier Seven Magic, also called Immortal Techniques, could only be performed by Tribulation Crossing True Immortals whose bodies had transformed into True Immortal Bodies post the immortal ascension celestial tribulation.

Each Tier Seven Immortal Technique can directly mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth Laws, possessing powers of terrifying might!

"Pseudo-Immortal Techniques are exactly that—they are techniques mastered by the clones of Tribulation Crossing True Immortals because even if their clones only have a split soul, it's already a transformed Immortal Soul, essentially different from Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators."

"It's because they lack the strong magical power support of a True Immortal Body that Pseudo-Immortal Techniques are only less than half as powerful as true Immortal Techniques, hence the 'pseudo' prefix."

Lan Daoist seemed to understand what Zhouyang wanted to know and quickly explained the situation regarding "Pseudo-Immortal Techniques" to him in detail.

Upon hearing this, Zhouyang immediately grasped the concept.

"I understand now, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lan, for elucidating this for me."

Zhouyang nodded slightly, softly expressing his gratitude.

Then he frowned, his face turned grave as he said, "However, since the 'Cyan Scale Demon King' has already comprehended the Wind Attribute Law to such an extent, I'm afraid his escape speed is also exceptionally fast. Even if we have a quarter-hour lead, it might be challenging to elude his pursuit!"

Lan Daoist nodded at these words, remarking, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you're correct. Therefore, it now all depends on whether you're willing to make the necessary sacrifice!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"What kind of sacrifice? Fellow Daoist Lan, please feel free to speak your mind."

Zhouyang's face showed a hint of curiosity as he asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lan previously used a breaking technique to neutralize the divine techniques of the Cyan Scale Demon King. Fellow Daoist Zhou also witnessed this scene. If Fellow Daoist Zhou can provide me with five supreme spirit stones of different attributes, I assure you I can drive back that Cyan Scale Demon King, making him dare not pursue us again."

"But if these five supreme spirit stones are given to me, Fellow Daoist Zhou will not be able to reclaim them later!"

Lan Daoist turned his head to glance at Zhouyang, and spoke calmly about the matter.

Hearing his words, Zhouyang was momentarily stunned.

No matter how quick-witted Zhouyang was, he couldn't have imagined that Lan Daoist's asking price would be this.

"Daoist friend, this price really puts Zhou in a difficult position!"

After being dazed for a while, Zhouyang finally let out a heavy sigh and said, with a bitter smile on his face.

Five supreme spirit stones are certainly not a small amount.

Remembering how Liu Yunxiang, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, didn't obtain a single supreme spirit stone after hundreds of years of effort, one can understand how rare these things are.

Even for a top major sect like the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, taking out five supreme spirit stones at once would be a significant bleeding of resources, shaking the foundation of the sect.

And even though Zhouyang possesses a giant spirit stone vein with several supreme spirit stones on him, taking out this number would instantly halve his wealth!

Of course, it is precisely because he owns a giant spirit stone vein that Zhouyang has the confidence to make this difficult decision.

"Alright, I will give these spirit stones. I just hope Fellow Daoist Lan will make it worth my while and let me witness the elegance of a true immortal!"

He gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his hand, he took out five different supreme spirit stones from his collection and handed them to Lan Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I will not disappoint you!"

Lan Daoist's tone remained as calm as ever. He reached out to take the five supreme spirit stones and directly swallowed them. Then, with his body pausing during his flight, he began to perform some sort of secret technique.

Boom!

As Lan Daoist exercised the secret technique, a powerful and unmatched aura of magical power suddenly surged from within him.

Zhouyang even noticed, as the magical power aura within him escalated, faint golden spirit patterns suddenly emerged on Lan Daoist's skin, resembling human skin. Although these golden spirit patterns quickly vanished, Zhouyang was certain he hadn't seen incorrectly.

This further confirmed his hypothesis.

Lan Daoist's body is indeed a puppet body!

While he was pondering over these thoughts, Lan Daoist, whose aura had peaked and then gradually stabilized, suddenly turned his head to smile slightly and said: "It's been a long, long time since I felt this comfortable. Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhou for a feast, now just watch as I perform!"

So he can smile too!

This was Zhouyang's first reaction upon seeing the faint smile on Lan Daoist's face.

For some reason, upon seeing Lan Daoist's smile, the pain Zhouyang originally felt for losing five supreme spirit stones instantly eased a lot.

He suddenly felt that spending those five supreme spirit stones to "buy" Lan Daoist's smile was worth it.

Taking a moment to compose himself, he smiled in response, "Zhou looks forward to Fellow Daoist Lan's performance."

This exchange between them lasted less than a small moment, before the Cyan Scale Demon King, who had been trapped by Lan Daoist's "pseudo-immortal technique," had already caught up.

"Watch closely, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Lan Daoist let out a low shout, and in a flash, his figure vanished from the spot. Reappearing two hundred miles away.

"Is this... is this the Instant Teleportation divine technique?"

Zhouyang's mouth hung open in shock.

It's well known in the cultivation realm that only Tribulation Crossing True Immortals can master the genuine Instant Teleportation divine technique.

However, now it seemed Lan Daoist had broken this belief!

In Zhouyang's stunned gaze, after Lan Daoist's consecutive use of "Instant Teleportation," he directly engaged with the pursuing Cyan Scale Demon King.

Even the Cyan Scale Demon King was alarmed by Lan Daoist's successive "Instant Teleportation," resulting in more defensive maneuvers than attacks during their combat.

But even choosing to defend, he couldn't withstand Lan Daoist's attacks.

Having "eaten" five supreme spirit stones, Lan Daoist's power left Zhouyang dumbfounded.

It was as if he had turned into a spell-casting machine, casually releasing powerful Tier Six spells one after another.

No matter how powerful the Cyan Scale Demon King's wind-attribute divine techniques were, under Lan Daoist's various attribute magic strikes, it could only parry without being able to counter.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe you have no weakness. Storm Tiger, devour!"

With a roar of rage and fury, the Cyan Scale Demon King was finally forced to reveal his ultimate trump card.

A tiger shadow flashed across it, and a cyan storm tiger formed entirely by the Su-Wind power and wind attribute law materialized out of thin air.

As soon as this storm tiger, several dozen meters long, took shape, it charged toward Lan Daoist with incredible speed, like the wind.

And when Lan Daoist's magic struck this storm tiger, it merely passed through its body without much effect.

Seeing this, a smug look appeared in the eyes of the Cyan Scale Demon King.

This divine technique leverages the formless nature of wind, allowing it to switch between material and immaterial states and making most spells and magical artifacts ineffective against it.

Additionally, the storm tiger's speed was exceptionally fast and under its command, the enemy could perhaps evade once but not a second or third time!

Yet, his smugness didn't last long before it was interrupted by Lan Daoist's ensuing attack.

Lan Daoist extended a hand, his five fingers grasping as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual power streamed simultaneously from them, quickly forming a multicolored hand that seized the storm tiger.

Upon meeting this multicolored hand, the storm tiger, typically able to shift between form and formlessness, instantly lost this ability, and its head was crushed in a grip!

Bang!

The exploded storm tiger dispersed into a gust blowing in all directions.

But the multicolored hand continued its motion unabated, reaching for the Cyan Scale Demon King's physical body.

Witnessing this, the Cyan Scale Demon King's mind went blank.

Only when the multicolored hand approached did he seem to regain consciousness, and with a roar, spat out the Demon Pill he'd cultivated tirelessly for thousands of years.

A dense cyan light shot forth from the Cyan Scale Demon King's mouth, using sheer magical power to blast apart the multicolored hand.

However, utilizing the Demon Pill for such an attack consumed its source power relentlessly, causing the Cyan Scale Demon King's body to shudder, blood involuntarily seeping from his mouth as he suffered a heavy internal injury.

After swallowing the returning Demon Pill, the Cyan Scale Demon King cast an indignant and resentful glare at Lan Daoist before abruptly retreating as a streak of cyan light.
