Chapter 206 Immortal Embryo and Demonic Seed, Each Going to Extremes, but Originating from the Same Source

"..."

Upon hearing Chen Hao's question, Ning Daoqi was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Cihang Sword Manual is extremely profound. I was so excited at the time that I accidentally misdirected my qi when I tried it."

It's incredibly shameful to cough up blood while trying to comprehend a martial arts manual, but if you're trying to comprehend one of the world's four great books, then it's a completely different story.

The more profound the martial arts classics are, the more mental and physical effort is required to comprehend them.

This is why many people, despite having the potential to master powerful secret manuals, can only cultivate lower-level manuals due to insufficient comprehension.

This is also why practitioners often contemplate their own cultivation methods.

Even Bi Xiuxin, who had practiced the Cihang Sword Manual, died because she was too eager to comprehend Shi Zhixuan's Undying Seal Technique, which exhausted her mental strength.

“Master Ning, when you wanted to break through your realm of ‘137,’ you could have tried to find the Taoist ‘Longevity Manual’ or the Demonic Sect’s ‘Heavenly Demon Strategy’, or at the very least, you could have tried to find the legendary ‘War God Record’.”

"Why would Master Ning abandon his position as a Grandmaster of Taoism to seek the Cihang Sword Manual at Cihang Jingzhai?"

Chen Hao asked again, puzzled.

Although Chen Hao could understand Ning Daoqi's eagerness to break through his own realm at that time, he also felt a deep sense of doubt.

Seeing Ning Daoqi, who was on guard against his attack, and Fan Qinghui, whose face was pale, Chen Hao continued:

"Moreover, according to the information I have investigated, Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Manual has long lost the essence of breaking through the void. No matter how much you try to comprehend it, Master Ning, you will never be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm."

Before Chen Hao could finish speaking and before Ning Daoqi could even open his mouth, Fan Qinghui shouted in rebuttal, "That's impossible!"

"My Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Manual is one of the four great books of this world. Our ancestor, Di Ni, even broke through the void with this book. How could it not help Daoist Ning break through?"

Chen Hao glanced at the pale-faced Fan Qinghui and said calmly, "According to the information I found, the first patriarch of Cihang Jingzhai, Di Ni, was a Taoist in her youth. When she had completed her Taoist studies and went out to gain experience, she happened to encounter the 'White Horse Temple' spreading Buddhism."

"At that time, Buddhism had just spread to the Central Plains, and out of curiosity, the nun went to the White Horse Temple."

"Later, while studying Buddhism at the White Horse Temple, Di Ni encountered Xie Tiao, the first 'Evil Emperor' of the Demonic Sect."

"Dini and Xie Tiao were both outstanding young talents at the time, and a romance naturally blossomed between them. Tiao even generously shared his copy of 'The Record of Demonic Thoughts' with Dini."

"However, Di Ni and Xie Tiao later had a huge disagreement over their views on Buddhism, which eventually led to their breakup."

"Afterwards, Di Ni entered a Buddhist monastery. At the age of forty, while meditating in seclusion, she had an epiphany. From the Demonic Path's 'Record of Demonic Thoughts,' she gleaned the methods of 'shattering the void' and cultivating 'inner elixir,' and thus developed the methods of 'Taoist Embryo' and 'Death Gate.'"

"This is the original classic of Cihang Jingzhai, the 'Sword Manual of the Other Shore'!"

Chen Hao looked at the surprised crowd, took a breath, and continued, "So it can be said that Cihang Jingzhai's 'Other Shore Sword Technique' and the Demonic Sect's 'Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique' are from the same source."

"Immortal embryos and demonic seeds may go to extremes, but they all originate from the same source."

"In a sense, Cihang Jingzhai can be considered the ninth branch of the Demonic Sect, besides the two factions and six sects."

When Chen Hao arrived in this world, he had already used the [Star Number] technique from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends to investigate many interesting things, so he spoke eloquently about these matters as if they were happening right in front of him.

The moment Chen Hao finished speaking, Ning Daoqi showed a strange expression: "The Other Shore Sword Technique? Shouldn't the Cihang Jingzhai's inherited technique be the Cihang Sword Manual?"

Zhu Yuyan, Wanwan, and the members of the four major clans all looked at Chen Hao with curiosity, wanting to know the reason behind it.

After all, who doesn't have a gossipy side?

The stories of these ancestors have long since disappeared into the river of history, and may not even be recorded in Cihang Jingzhai. They were very curious about them.

"The Other Shore Sword Manual is the predecessor of the Compassionate Voyage Sword Manual!"

As Chen Hao responded, he glanced at Fan Qinghui with a mocking look: "After Di Ni sat in the death gate, Cihang Jingzhai gradually developed into the leader of Buddhism and the representative of the righteous path. In order to get rid of the connection with the demonic sect, the leaders of Cihang Jingzhai deleted the key parts of the 'Other Shore Sword Manual' that could be associated with the 'Dao Xin Seed Demon Technique' one by one."

"Later, it gradually became the Cihang Sword Manual of Cihang Jingzhai!"

"The masters of Cihang Jingzhai are not at the level of cultivation, but they do not know that the 'Other Shore Sword Manual' that they deleted is precisely the essence of the 'Other Shore Sword Manual' that can shatter the void."

"So much so that although the 'Compassionate Sword Manual' still retains the prestige of the 'Other Shore Sword Technique,' its essence has already..."

Chen Hao didn't say anything more after that, but everyone understood what he meant...

“Hahaha~~~!”

Suddenly, Zhu Yuyan burst into laughter, pointing at Fan Qinghui and mocking, "I never imagined that your Cihang Jingzhai's secret manual actually originated from our Demonic Sect's 'Dao Xin Zhong Mo Da Fa' (Great Demon Seed Technique of the Dao Heart)!!!"

"And you actually thought you were so clever that you cut out the essential parts of the Dini tradition."

"No wonder your Cihang Jingzhai has never had a predecessor who could break through the void in all these years."

"Hahaha~~ Ahahahahaha~~~!"

Seizing the opportunity, Zhu Yuyan loudly mocked her opponent.

Actually, when Chen Hao made his move, Zhu Yuyan also wanted to go and help him, to get rid of her old rival.

However, Ning Daoqi acted too quickly, giving Zhu Yuyan no chance at all.

After Ning Daoqi made his move, Zhu Yuyan dared not risk offending this grandmaster.

Hearing Zhu Yuyan's sarcasm, Fan Qinghui, whose face had turned pale and then red after hearing Chen Hao's words, could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood again.

Phew~!

"Our ancestors misled my Cihang Jingzhai!"

Fan Qinghui cried out in frustration.

The previous abbots of Cihang Jingzhai did not pass down this information, so Fan Qinghui was unaware that there were so many secrets in the Cihang Sword Manual.

During her years of cultivation, Fan Qinghui had already noticed various contradictions in the Cihang Sword Manual, but her understanding and wisdom were not enough to make adjustments to it.

Furthermore, having first learned that her ancestor, Di Ni, had shattered the void with the "Compassionate Voyage Sword Manual," she regarded the "Compassionate Voyage Sword Manual" as the ultimate truth, daring not to doubt it in the slightest, only believing that her wisdom and understanding were insufficient and that she had misunderstood it.

But she never expected that what she sensed was actually true.

If... if she had been practicing the Patriarch's "Other Shore Sword Technique" back then, wouldn't she have already broken through to the Grandmaster level by now, possessing the power to change everything, and no longer needing to rely on external forces?

Fan Qinghui thought with regret at this moment!

But it was all too late!

Chapter 207 Demanding the He Shi Bi from Ning Daoqi

Seeing Fan Qinghui once again become emotionally distraught and cough up blood, Shi Feixuan quickly supported her master, her delicate face filled with worry: "Master... Master... calm down, don't listen to their nonsense!"

Although Shi Feixuan understood that she and Fan Qinghui were in danger and could lose their lives at any moment, she could not abandon Fan Qinghui, who had raised her with her own hands, and whose heart was on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, Shi Feixuan, who was originally in a position of being taken care of, had no choice but to force herself to comfort Fan Qinghui.

However, this can be considered a blessing in disguise!

Because of her concern for Fan Qinghui's injuries, Shi Feixuan temporarily withdrew her mind from the various sordid things that had happened in Buddhism, allowing her to temporarily escape the brink of mental breakdown.

However, Fan Qinghui had no intention of acknowledging her disciple's good intentions; she only wanted to find out whether the "Compassionate Sword Manual" was really as Chen Hao had described.

"No...no way...The Cihang Sword Manual is the fundamental heritage of my Cihang Jingzhai, how could it be arbitrarily altered?"

In her daze, Fan Qinghui began to deny her intuition and refused to acknowledge the truth Chen Hao had given her.

"The Cihang Sword Manual is recognized as one of the four great books of wonder, and it is a secret manual that directly points to the realm of breaking through the void. How could it possibly be related to the Demonic Sect's Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Technique?"

“Yes…27 That’s right…It must be this extraterrestrial demon trying to slander our Cihang Jingzhai and smear our Buddhist sect.”

"It must be like this!"

For a time, Fan Qinghui, who should have been standing in the position of the leader of the righteous path, became dazed and confused, looking quite pitiful.

……

Not far away, Song Que looked at the miserable Fan Qinghui, his eyes revealing a hint of pity and complicated emotions.

Previously, when Fan Qinghui was mentally unstable and vomited three liters of blood, and when she was attacked by Chen Hao, Song Que's body was tense to the extreme, as if he would rush forward at any moment.

Clearly, Song Que still harbors feelings for Fan Qinghui and is not as indifferent as he appears.

However, Song Que was rational enough to know that compared to his personal feelings, both his family and the current changes in the world were of greater importance.

The innocent and adorable Song Yuzhi was completely oblivious to her father's unusual behavior, staring at Chen Hao in disbelief: "Mr. Chen Hao, are all these things he said true? As someone from another world, doesn't Chen Hao know too much?"

"And how did he manage to gather all this information in just over ten days?"

Looking at his brother's reaction, Di Jian Song Zhi sighed helplessly and shook his head.

He naturally knew a little about his brother's past relationship with Fan Qinghui, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing that Song Que wisely refrained from taking action.

Song Zhi understood that although his elder brother had already reached the top in this world, he did not have enough confidence in facing Chen Hao and other people from other worlds with strange methods.

The two divine puppets standing behind Chen Hao, which resembled gods and demons, were beyond Song Que's ability to handle.

Upon hearing his niece's curious words, Song Zhi said solemnly, "Mr. Chen Hao has extraordinary methods. It is very likely that I learned about these secrets through a method unknown to us."

Song Yuhua looked at Chen Hao with sparkling eyes and guessed, "Mr. Chen Hao was able to discover this information, which is considered extremely confidential by us. Could it be that he possesses the legendary art of divination?"

"Is that really possible?" Song Shidao said incredulously, "Our world also has people who are skilled in divination, but I have never heard of anyone who can divinate past events in such detail."
