Chapter 672 My Disciple, You Are a Genius

The Eight Innate Techniques is a very complex composite secret technique, which is composed of eight secret techniques.

Unlike typical compound techniques, the eight techniques of the Eight Innate Styles are not a fixed combination, but rather techniques that can be disassembled and combined.

Any of these techniques can be combined to trigger different effects.

Some techniques, when combined in pairs, can enhance destructive power, while others, when combined in pairs, can provide a defensive effect.

Some techniques combined together form movement techniques, while others combined together become defensive techniques.

The combination of these eight secret techniques can satisfy all kinds of needs. By practicing these eight techniques, you can deal with all problems in most cases without wasting time and energy to learn additional techniques.

Such a composite technique as the Eight Forms of the Primordial Chaos, which can be freely combined and disassembled, is hard to find anywhere else in the entire land of China.

Most compound techniques can have additional or fewer techniques added to them, but these additions or subtractions will not affect the function of the technique itself.

Just like Chen Guan's protective divine skill, whether you add a secret technique or subtract one, it is still a protective divine skill, and it is different from the Eight Innate Techniques.

Ji Tianwang's Eight Innate Techniques are not perfect; there are still some issues with the combination of secret techniques.

He showed it to Chen Guan, hoping Chen Guan could help him find a solution.

Chen Guan let Ji Tianwang demonstrate for himself, while he watched from the state of Wuji. Although he could not solve all the problems, he did offer some suggestions that could inspire Ji Tianwang's thinking, which made Ji Tianwang trust him more and more.

Ji Tianwang became increasingly uninhibited, bringing up all sorts of problems he encountered in his cultivation and asking Chen Guan for advice.

Chen Guan knew that the more he knew, the higher the chance that Ji Tianwang would kill him. Judging from the current situation, Ji Tianwang probably never intended to let him live from the beginning.

"This guy is really ruthless. Luckily, I won't really die." Chen Guan thought to himself with relief.

Chen Guan stayed with Ji Tianwang for a long time, but Ji Tianwang was slow to master the secret technique given to him by Chen Guan and never broke through to the ninth level of enlightenment.

Gradually, he began to feel dissatisfied with Chen Guan, believing that Chen Guan was holding back, which was why he was unable to break through.

Upon noticing the change in Ji Tianwang's attitude towards him, Chen Guan knew that if he didn't offer something in return, he might never be able to enjoy rare and precious treasures again.

"Disciple, do you know why you haven't broken through yet?" Chen Guan was very perceptive and asked the question before Ji Changsheng could lose his temper.

"Please enlighten me, Master." Ji Changsheng was slightly surprised, not expecting Chen Guan to bring up this question himself.

"The reason you haven't made a breakthrough is because you're too smart," Chen Guan sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Changsheng asked, frowning.

Chen Guan explained, "Based on my understanding of you, your talent is top-tier even within the Sky Secret Realm, especially in terms of creativity, where you are far ahead. No Mystic Spirit can compare to you. So, you are very smart, far smarter than any Mystic Spirit. But it is precisely because you are too smart that it is difficult for you to make any breakthroughs."

"The minds of spirits are far less complex than those of humans, which is why spirits can focus wholeheartedly on cultivation with absolute faith and thus achieve breakthroughs."

"But you have too many thoughts and too much to think about, which makes it difficult for you to reach a state of mind free from worldly distractions and concentrate on your cultivation. That's why you haven't been able to break through." "So, it's not that you lack talent or that there's a problem with the secret technique. It's because you're too smart and think too much that you've ended up like this. You should understand the principle of great wisdom appearing as foolishness."

After listening, Ji Tianwang pondered for a long time before nodding and saying to Chen Guan, "Master's teachings are correct. I had too many thoughts and was unable to focus on cultivation."

He was a man of great stature, and he had already realized that what Chen Guan said was true.

Because he didn't truly trust Chen Guan, he always held back and remained skeptical of the secret techniques Chen Guan gave him.

Although he kept practicing, he remained vigilant and exercised his own judgment during the practice. If there was any clue, he would immediately stop practicing and investigate where the problem was and whether Chen Guan had given him the wrong secret method.

Under such circumstances, he did train very well, but he lacked the focus to break through the impasse, so it's understandable that he couldn't break through the limits of human potential.

In fact, Chen Guan only told half the reason. One reason why Ji Tianwang failed to break through was that he was not focused enough and did not have the determination to burn his bridges.

Another reason is that this thing is designed for women like Mingfei. If a man like Ji Tianwang were to practice it, there would naturally be barriers, and it wouldn't be so easy for him to master it.

Chen Guan used the cheerleader's soul on Ji Changsheng, thinking that even if it couldn't help him truly master the secret technique, it should still have some effect.

As long as Ji Changsheng can see some hope, he can muddle through for a while longer.

Sure enough, after this, Ji Changsheng's attitude returned to its previous state, and Chen Guan continued to receive the rare and precious herbs every day.

Ji Changsheng seemed to have achieved some results in his training, as he no longer came here as often as before to ask Chen Guan questions.

However, such good days did not last long. After a while, Ji Changsheng seemed to have encountered a bottleneck again and often came to ask Chen Guan questions, sometimes many times a day.

He has tried to calm his mind and has made some progress, but he is still unable to break through.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "It's normal for a man not to break through; it would be abnormal if he did."

Despite his thoughts, Chen Guan couldn't say this to Ji Changsheng directly. He could only sigh and say, "My disciple, I'm afraid our master-disciple relationship is coming to an end."

"Master, why do you say that? There are still many things I need your guidance on," Ji Changsheng said calmly.

Chen Guan looked at Ji Changsheng and said, "Disciple, I know very well that the moment you break through will be the moment I ascend to immortality."

"Master, you're overthinking it." Ji Changsheng frowned slightly.

“I am not a foolish and delusional person. I know better than you what the outcome will be.” Chen Guan said calmly, “The reason I still taught you even though I knew you would kill me is because you showed me some possibilities, some things that I never dared to think about before.”

Before Ji Changsheng could speak, Chen Guan continued, "I have never seen your talent and abilities even in the Sky Secret Realm. In particular, your wisdom has astonished me. At first, I just wanted to appease you, buy time, and find an opportunity to escape."

"But after spending this time together, I've realized that you might be able to reach heights that I can't even dream of."

Chen Guan stared intently at Ji Changsheng and said, "So, even though I know that you will definitely kill me after your breakthrough, and even though I know that you are my enemy, I still can't help but want to teach you and watch you reach the height that I have always dreamed of reaching."
