The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 281 - 280 The Cultivation Method of Divine Skill
The place where the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill was transmitted was at the very heart of the White Snow Temple. Along the way, Xinjue kept explaining their Buddhist Sect’s teachings to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun listened very seriously because he needed to understand the other party’s teachings in order to know how to set the pace for them.
It wasn’t until they reached the training area that Xinjue reluctantly stopped explaining. The Snow Maiden also wasn’t too pleased with him talking so much with Lin Yun, because Lin Yun’s focus on his sermon on Buddhism meant he wasn’t paying attention to her.
But she didn’t blame Lin Yun; instead, she found his eagerness to learn quite admirable.
This was a woman’s double standard.
The place of transmission featured a dragon statue, but the dragon was being stepped on by a bald man who had a ring in one hand encircling the dragon’s neck and a long spear in the other.
It’s him, it’s definitely him!
If the man wasn’t bald and instead had two topknots, Lin Yun might have mistaken him for Nezha.
"This is the statue of the Holy Buddha Fulong. The Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill was also comprehended from it," Xinjue explained.
After Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden took a look, they immediately believed him—the spear and ring were right in their hands!
The facial features of the bald man were not carved out, perhaps to maintain reverence for the deity and keep a sense of mystery.
"To cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill is to obtain the power of the dragon-elephant. This technique is also a dragon-subduing method. The Divine Skill has a total of eighteen levels, with the first level being the power of one elephant," Xinjue stated.
The ’one elephant’ mentioned by Xinjue didn’t refer to a spiritual elephant, but just an ordinary one; however, in this world, even a common elephant, being nurtured by Spiritual Energy, possessed immense strength.
Even cultivators in the Qi Cultivation phase might not be able to wrestle with an ordinary elephant.
The second level of the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill was the power of three elephants, the ninth level was the power of a hundred elephants, and the tenth level was the power of one dragon.
"...the initial cultivation of the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill simply requires one to mobilize their blood qi to become a Transforming Dragon, and then subdue it to obtain the power of the dragon-elephant. However, beyond the tenth level, breakthrough requires certain auxiliary objects related to dragons, which are not easy to obtain. Yuan Ji received the blessing of the Snow Mountain God and managed to cultivate to the eleventh level, acquiring the power of two dragons and consequently standing as the foremost Warrior, invincible to all," Xinjue explained the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill in great detail, including the methods of practice, techniques, and the ultimate level one could attain.
In other words, the highest level that could be cultivated was the eleventh, and further advancement would require items like Dragon Blood and Dragon Balls.
This power of one dragon referred to a Sea Dragon, not a True Dragon.
Despite this, the technique was indeed powerful, not just enhancing strength but also one’s own defenses.
Dragons and elephants both represented extremely high defense, and since the technique was named after them, it naturally possessed this characteristic.
Most of the Warriors on the Grassland practiced the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill, and the White Snow Temple had never kept it secret.
This meant that the Warriors loyal to the Snow Mountain Divine Church also had a chance to serve the White Snow Temple.
"Thank you, Master, for the guidance. However, I have a question: if one can obtain items such as Dragon Blood to assist in cultivation, how should one proceed with the subsequent realms of practice?" Lin Yun inquired.
Lin Yun felt that the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill was tailor-made for him. Right, when he first obtained the Dragon Ball, Bai Jiaojiao had also mentioned it. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
But it was no problem if he practiced it now. Not only did he have a Little White Dragon, but he also had a Little Green Dragon. If he needed something later on, he could just ask them for it.
The initial investment in a Dragon Ball had paid off!
"About that... the teachings do say. After the twelfth level, to advance one level further requires a dose of True Dragon Blood, which one merely needs to drink. But in this world, the True Dragons are no more, and the blood of a Sea Dragon is useless. If one can break through, they can possess the power of five dragons."
"And what about advancing beyond that?"
Lin Yun felt that the old monk was a bit oblivious. I’ve already asked, so just tell me all the steps directly!
"To advance further, one needs to obtain a portion of Dragon’s Pure Yin. This is even more difficult to find than True Dragon Blood. The world is vast with many unexplored Secret Realms; it’s possible that a Dragon Corpse exists somewhere. True Dragon Blood might be attainable, but to seize Dragon’s Pure Yin, the dragon not only has to be alive but also a female. This condition is too demanding. Even if one could encounter such a dragon, it would still be difficult to subdue it!"
Lin Yun: "..."
It seems Bai Jiaojiao will still be useful in the future.
Snow Maiden, however, was quite unhappy listening to this conversation.
Although Xinjue was merely speaking hypothetically, as they hadn’t even seen a female dragon yet, such talk was like a husband and another man discussing wanting to have relations with a certain woman. Even if it hadn’t happened and was impossible to happen, it would still infuriate her.
"Ah Yun, you should just learn enough of the Divine Skill to get by. As a Divine Child, you’re blessed by the father God, and your strength will surely be no weaker than these few dragons’."
Xinjue didn’t understand the heart of a woman, thinking that Snow Maiden was looking down on the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill, so he defended his own skill, saying, "That’s not the case. As long as one can obtain the Dragon Ball and Dragon Soul, one would possess a strength that doesn’t pale in comparison to the Immortal Gods!"
Forget the Dragon Ball and Dragon Soul; just hearing about them implies killing dragons. It’s all down to fate now. Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing are both his dragons; Lin Yun could never bring himself to the act of slaying dragons for their souls.
He also realized that Snow Maiden was upset because they had brought up female dragons.
Since she was already showing signs of jealousy, it meant that Snow Maiden’s feelings of falling for him had deepened.
Lin Yun said obediently, "Sister, don’t worry, I’ll stop after reaching the tenth level."
Snow Maiden then nodded in satisfaction, thinking that her Ah Yun was indeed sensible, and nothing like the old monk. Being a monk, doesn’t he know to abstain from desires?
After discussing the overview of the Divine Skill, Xinjue had Lin Yun take off his coat and taught him a few basic moves.
Looking at the flexible lines of Lin Yun’s body, he couldn’t help but pinch Lin Yun’s muscles, an act that made Snow Maiden glare fiercely.
Even though Xinjue was a man, she was still somewhat displeased.
Yet, she didn’t say anything and just stood by, watching.
Xinjue sighed, "Truly worthy of being a Divine Child. Without having cultivated properly, your physical strength has already reached a state of perfection."
"What is the state of perfection?"
Lin Yun was somewhat puzzled. Xinjue explained, "At the beginning of body cultivation, one appears robust and strong, like what you look like right now, with not very defined muscle lines. After prolonged practice, the body will be covered in muscles, which is the case for most warriors. However, when perfection is reached, it is a return to simplicity and your strength becomes inwardly contained, just as you are."
Xinjue had initially thought that Lin Yun might not have trained before, but after feeling Lin Yun’s strength, he was profoundly shaken.
The Divine Child will surely be invincible in the world in the future. If he could spread the teachings of Buddhism to Lin Yun, and even eventually make him the Buddha Nation’s Master, or simply an Elder guest, the status of the Buddha Nation would rise significantly higher than now. Perhaps it could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Snow Mountain Divine Church!
While Lin Yun had yet to be influenced greatly by the doctrines of the Snow Mountain Divine Church, he saw an opportunity.
"Since you already have a foundation, I will help you speed up your cultivation. Practicing the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill, supplemented by Buddhist teachings, you can master the initial levels much faster."
"Then I thank you greatly, master."
Lin Yun couldn’t ask for more. Xinjue positioned him in a particular stance and began chanting sutras himself.
Snow Maiden didn’t like listening to the monk’s chants. Seeing that Lin Yun would be cultivating for a while, she decided to leave first.
With her gone, both Lin Yun and Xinjue were pleased...
