Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 599 - 3: Entering the Mortal World, Taisui

The rain in Dangshan stopped at dawn.

That Sword Immortal isn't a good person. He used a fire talisman to burn the corpse of the rebel demon clean, leaving Duncan with no opportunity to loot the corpse. Even if he was afraid of it transforming, there was a Sword Immortal, a Mountain Monarch, and a Xuanyin Sect elder present. If it transformed, they could have blasted it into dust. Maybe he could have even gained some experience points. Was there really a need to burn the entire corpse so hastily?

No one knows what this Outer Heaven Demon is.

He still hasn't figured it out.

The other blood children died miserably too — three were smashed into pulp, and one exploded into a mist of blood. No techniques or secret manuals to be found, Duncan only managed to find some distorted silver tael among the mess.

Lu Shanjun went to his cave abode to pack up. His abode is deep within the cliffside gorge, unreachable by Duncan's low-grade Qinggong. Duncan could only wait in place for his return.

Then, a sound of rushing through the air came from the forest. A bright-eyed maiden clad in black appeared, standing on a tree branch, and she greeted from afar, "Young sir."

"My master said you probably don't have any money, and sent me to deliver some."

"Farewell!"

"Until we meet again!"

The sound of rushing through the air followed.

Duncan flew up to catch the embroidered money pouch, which contained some scattered silver coins and a bunch of golden beans. Added up, there were several dozen, enough to last a long time if used sparingly.

Is there really a good person in the demon sect?

Did he misunderstand that palatial-dressed beautiful woman? Was she really not malicious towards him?

Was she merely coveting his body?

Before leaving, the black-clad maiden glanced up and down at the blood child not far away. Her master had lamented at the foot of the mountain that the young boy was quite remarkable. If he could be recruited into the sect, taught superior techniques, and carefully guided, when their three senior sisters could no longer advance, they might need to rely on this boy's blazing primal yang to break through.

This boy is still a child's body, his foundation extraordinary, using his primal yang to break through can save at least ten years of hard cultivation.

Pure Yin is extremely cold; primal yang is a blazing fire.

The female disciples of the Xuanyin Palace are neither from the Yin-Yang Sect nor from the more promiscuous Pleasure Sect. Their waistband beads can only be broken when their cultivation stagnates and solitary Yin can no longer exist alone.

This branch of the demon sect strives for extreme Yin and purity, their techniques are extremely domineering, not tolerating the slightest taint of impure true qi. Only the most hardened and pure, the essence of yang, can help them cure the 'solitary Yin' syndrome. And that person must also have a pure inner strength, still a child's body, with superior foundation, exceptional talent, not stained by any impure heretical techniques.

Unlike Yin-Yang Sect, and its Pleasure Sect branch, who are promiscuous and rely on quantity, progressing quickly in the early stages but later stumbling due to chaotic true qi, often falling into madness.

They, on the other hand, focus on quality, seeking refinement. At the time of breakthrough, they must at least impact Innate True Qi.

Extreme Yin gives rise to Yang, which is their lowest threshold for breakthrough.

Duncan caught the money pouch and thanked with clasped fists. The young blood child was only fifteen or sixteen years old. That rogue demon was ruthless, searching everywhere for children with decent bone structures, cutting off their past with bloody cruelty, and only passing on external techniques after the blood refining, not advanced inner strength.

All these blood children had excellent bone structures, a top choice for sects practicing hard-earned techniques.

With a glance, the bright-eyed maiden departed through the air.

The Xuanyin Sect disciples' Qinggong was remarkable, causing the youth a bout of envy. He increasingly felt that his grass-flying Qinggong was embarrassingly inferior in comparison.

"How can a brute without good Qinggong catch up in a fight?"

"Must seize good Qinggong."

The palatial-dressed woman's Qinggong was truly outstanding, akin to a celestial fairy, effortless and gliding through the void.

Duncan cast a glance at his martial arts.

Different from everything in the Root World, the human form's technique page changed substantially, even the background color shifted to an ancient and weathered hue, revealing historical heaviness. Some technique annotations had a literary flair in their text.

The entire style has changed.

Fortunately, the basic functions weren't much different, but the Western sword style changed into Eastern moves.

— Fist and Palm Techniques (Advanced) (Proficient).

— Leg Techniques (Intermediate) (Adept).

— Blade and Sword Techniques (Novice) (Apprentice).

Even though the description methods changed on the projection page, Duncan understood at a glance. Using Eastern terminology isn't hard to figure out the specific level.

The martial arts mastered by the human form were quite varied, mostly marked in blue, indicating they weren't fully integrated.

Thoughts settled.

The imprint of the fist and palm techniques opened, revealing a series of basic moves below: dot, grab, burst, intercept, etc., encompassing fist techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques, some marked in gold, some in blue. Combined, they indicated proficiency, corresponding to advanced skill. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This wasn't much different from the basic style of the first human form; the movements like slash, chop, flick with blade and sword were his forte, reaching beyond the battlefield skills of the human form.

"Basic style doesn't change; all moves evolve from the basic style."

"But the East emphasizes coordination in footwork."

Duncan swiftly grasped the concept; his abilities hadn't changed much. Murder and acquisition of combat skills, but not martial arts, rather the enhancement of basic styles. If there was any difference, the true qi of the human form seemed somewhat stronger, but conversion efficiency was low.

He wondered if it was because true qi was quite special, feeling that enhancement was even harder compared to the mana bar.
