254: Beast Fighting

“Not bad, not bad,” Gu Liangyuan’s voice came from the sky, sounding to Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen as if it were both far away in the heavens and a whisper in their ears.

The two looked up and saw Gu Liangyuan, who was sitting on a lotus platform, slowly descending from the sky.

The two bowed: “Greetings, Revered Master.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded gently: “Rise.”

This was a very normal meeting, something the three of them had long grown accustomed to.

However, what was commonplace for them caused immense shock in the hearts of the young men and women behind them.

In their eyes, Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen, who could fly into the sky and burrow into the earth, were already extremely powerful Immortals.

And such powerful figures actually had a Revered Master?

Then how incredibly strong must this Revered Master they spoke of be?

Gu Liangyuan did not notice the psychological changes of these youths; instead, he meticulously observed the System panels of the two.

After a moment of contemplation, he flicked his sleeve, and two items appeared before Jun Ao Zhi:

“You Cultivate both Immortal and Devil Dao, so there aren’t many Magical Artifacts suitable for you. I have two Low Grade Spirit Treasures here: one is called the Demon Subduing Pestle, and the other is called the Demon Protecting Banner.”

“The Demon Subduing Pestle is upright and righteous, while the Demon Protecting Banner is filled with monstrous Devilish Qi. They are quite compatible with you.”

Jun Ao Zhi received them with both hands: “Thank you, Revered Master.”

As the direct descendant of the Jun Family, Jun Ao Zhi did not find a Low Grade Spirit Treasure to be particularly valuable.

However, what was rare was that these two Low Grade Magic Treasures were perfectly suited for him.

This showed how much his Master cared for him.

He thought of Gu Liangyuan’s earnest teachings before he cut off his emotions.

For a moment, guilt, gratitude, self-reproach, and various emotions surged within him.

Gu Liangyuan smiled and said nothing more, then transmitted the content of the Battle Art Golden Page to Mo Chen:

“In the struggle for the Great Dao, fighting and killing in the Cultivation World are inevitable.”

“Due to the special nature of the Mortal Method, many Spells and Divine Abilities are not very suitable.”

“Now, I bestow upon you a scroll of Battle Art. I hope you can draw inspiration from it to perfect the offensive methods of the Mortal Method.”

Mo Chen received it: “Thank you, Revered Master!”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Demon Subduing Pestle, triggering 0.1 times return. Return reward: Medicine Grinding Pestle.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Demon Protecting Banner, triggering three thousand times return. Return reward: Incomplete Manual of the Underworld Map.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Battle Art, triggering ten thousand times return. Return reward: Beast Fighting Art.”

Gu Liangyuan directly ignored the Medicine Grinding Pestle, silently claimed the Incomplete Manual of the Underworld Map, and finally set his gaze on the Beast Fighting Art.

Ten thousand times return, this was not common.

Name: Beast Fighting Art

Rank: Small Divine Abilities (Evolvable)

Cultivation Requirement: Beast Blood Essence

Effect: In ancient times, the Human Race was weak. They learned the fighting methods of various fierce beasts to establish the Martial Dao. The Beast Fighting Art is the root of the Martial Dao.

As long as the host obtains Yao Beast Blood Essence, they can learn the innate Divine Ability of that beast and use it for themselves.

As more types of Blood Essence are refined and their Ranks increase, the Beast Fighting Art will gradually evolve, with no upper limit.

Looking at this System description and thinking of his own Universal Formless, Gu Liangyuan’s heart stirred instantly.

Looking at Mo Chen, who was moved below, Gu Liangyuan flicked his hand and gave the two some more Cultivation resources.

Only this time, there was no high-multiplier return.

“Your Cultivation speed is already fast compared to ordinary Prodigies, but in my opinion, it is far from enough.”

“It only took me one day to Breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul, but what about you?”

“Alright, I won’t say more. I believe my words have deeply touched your Souls.”

“Cultivate diligently and strive to reach Core Formation Peak before the Fu Long Court.”

With that, Gu Liangyuan ignored their resentful gazes, turned, and disappeared.

Arriving at a barren mountain, Gu Liangyuan extended his Divine Sense, and after confirming that there was no one around, he took out a drop of Kirin Blood.

Beast blood is divided into three Ranks: ordinary blood, Blood Essence, and Blood Treasure.

Ordinary blood goes without saying. Blood Essence is the essence of blood, much more valuable than ordinary blood.

Blood Treasure, also known as heart blood, is a Rank higher than Blood Essence.

True Dragon and Qilin are Immortal Beasts of the same Rank. The reason why Kirin Blood has stronger medicinal effects is because True Dragon Blood is ordinary blood, and Kirin Blood is a higher Rank than it.

The requirement for Cultivating Beast Fighting Art is Blood Essence, but Blood Treasure is more Advanced than Blood Essence; what Blood Essence can satisfy, Blood Treasure can also satisfy.

Gu Liangyuan sat down cross-legged on the spot, opened his mouth, swallowed the Kirin Blood into his abdomen, and refined it according to the method of the Beast Fighting Art.

Half an hour later, Gu Liangyuan’s body trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He took a step and arrived at the bank of a great river.

The river water was turbulent, and roaring waves crashed against the banks.

The sound was like thunder, and the speed was like a Dragon!

Gu Liangyuan formed a hand seal, and the Kirin Divine Ability was immediately unleashed.

The next moment, the ten-thousand-mile-long river trembled simultaneously.

Gu Liangyuan uttered the word “Rise,” and the river flowed backward, with columns of water soaring into the sky.

Endless clouds instantly gathered, causing ten thousand miles of dark clouds and strong winds!

Gu Liangyuan’s mind stirred, and the Universal Formless unfolded, transforming him into the appearance of a Water Qilin.

Its body was glossy black, its mane bluish, its body like a mountain, and its feet stepped on auspicious clouds.

The Law of Water enveloped its body.

That’s right, the Kirin Blood in Gu Liangyuan’s hand was precisely the Blood Treasure of a Water Qilin.

Therefore, he learned the ability to control water and tread on rivers from it.

Gu Liangyuan, transformed into a Qilin, took a step and appeared on a column of water.

As he gradually ascended, more water columns rose from within the great river.

In the end, they connected into a ten-thousand-mile-long water curtain.

Gradually, the water curtain rose above the green mountains and merged with the dark clouds in the sky.

It connected to the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Netherworlds below!

Stars and moon were dim, clouds raged, the long river flowed backward, and the scales of sparrows stopped.

Standing above the Nine Heavens, Gu Liangyuan felt that with a single thought, this water curtain would transform into a truly monstrous wave, submerging the surrounding hundred thousand miles.

With a thought, the water curtain slowly descended, transforming back into the long river and continuing to surge.

Gu Liangyuan’s mind stirred again, and he opened his mouth to spit out a water ball towards the distant barren mountain.

The water ball was only the size of a basin, but when it hit the green mountain, it caused the mountain to explode.

When it landed on the ground, it made the surrounding several thousand miles tremble thrice.

This water was not ordinary water; it was Primordial Heavy Water, one of the Water Qilin’s innate talents.

Primordial Heavy Water appears unremarkable, but each drop weighs as much as a mountain.

Although Gu Liangyuan obtained the Water Qilin’s talent, his Magic Power was insufficient, so he could only spit out this much.

Legend has it that a Peak Water Qilin could casually unleash a torrential rain composed of Primordial Heavy Water.

Under such rain, even a Small World would be destroyed!

As the Primordial Heavy Water slowly dissipated, Gu Liangyuan spit again, expelling a mass of black water.

This water was Profound Nether True Water, specifically for dissolving the Divine Soul!

It was no less potent than the Profound Yellow Qi.

Besides these, there were also Weak Water, Yellow Springs Water, and other Divine Waters.

Gu Liangyuan tried a few more, and after determining their approximate power, he retracted his Divine Ability and returned to his normal appearance.

The Water Qilin, Revered Master of all waters under heaven, truly lived up to its reputation!

Imagining the various talents of different Vicious Beasts, Gu Liangyuan’s heart burned with excitement.

As expected of a ten-thousand-fold return, it was truly extraordinary.

Looking at the Rank of the Beast Fighting Art, it had also Advanced to Great Divine Power due to the acquired Kirin Divine Ability.

Gu Liangyuan made up his mind that he must collect more high-end Blood Essence when he returned. From then on, he would never have to worry about Divine Abilities again!
