Huangfu Jun expounded the Sutra of Eternal Freedom in exhaustive detail.

He only talked about the "techniques," not the "usage".

The "usage" refers to the application, the Divine Skills.

Knowing only the techniques but not their application, no matter how diligently one practices, it cannot be utilized.

Huangfu Jun and Chen Shi only had a brief encounter. Although they became acquainted after a fight, Huangfu Jun was the one who got beaten. Naturally, he held back some information.

Chen Shi was indifferent to this, focusing his thoughts on comparing the two versions of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom.

The cultivation technique he mastered was derived from the Divine Skills left by the Great Freedom Ming King. It was not much different from the set of techniques of the Great Freedom Ming King, with only slight differences.

The Great Freedom Ming King had gleaned that set of techniques from the originally widespread Sutra of Eternal Freedom. He made substantial additions and deletions, transforming it into a technique that could transfer tribulation.

By employing this technique, one could directly transfer one's tribulations onto others, even extinguishing all living beings in a world, easily!

In terms of effectiveness, this cultivation technique was nearly indistinguishable from the original Sutra of Eternal Freedom.

However, the technique expounded by Huangfu Jun was more peaceful, resembling a regular Magic Skill, practiced systematically, detailing how to comprehend the Path of Calamity, how to grasp it, how to induce others' calamities, and how to utilize tribulation for cultivation.

Similar content was also present in the Great Freedom Ming King's set of techniques.

However, it was not as detailed as this one.

Moreover, the key point was that this set of techniques explained the tribulations of the Dark Sea in a very clear and thorough, capturing the essence of the Path of Calamity.

The Path of Calamity is indeed one of the Outer Dao of the Dark Sea.

Chen Shi had comprehended the Path of Calamity on the stone wall of the underground Green Palace, and this set of techniques was equally impressive compared to it!

For the first time, Chen Shi encountered someone outside of himself who had such profound expertise in the Outer Dao.

What surprised him even more was the significant difference between the Path of Calamity in the cultivation technique and the Green Palace stone wall's Path of Calamity. They offered vastly different expositions of the Path of Calamity.

The Path of Calamity in the cultivation technique was more profound, but the stone wall in the Green Palace had greater breadth.

This is reasonable since the Dark Sea Dao Pattern on the Green Palace wall was authored by Daoists serving the Flawless God, merely recording the God's words without deep understanding.

The creator of the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, however, birthed his technique through his comprehension of the Path of Calamity, and thus his understanding was more profound.

"Strange, aside from depth, their intersections also differ."

Chen Shi pondered, if one were to draw an intersection, the Path of Calamity on the Green Palace stone wall could not fully encompass the Path of Calamity from the Sutra. Their intersection at most covered only half of it.

In other words, half of the content in the Sutra's Path of Calamity was not within the ambit of the Green Palace's Path of Calamity!

He was even more perplexed; even the Heavenly Dao God of the Dark Sea had not fully encompassed this Path of Calamity. Where exactly did the creator of the Sutra comprehend this Path of Calamity?

"Heavenly King Chen, what have you comprehended?"

Huangfu Jun asked nervously, "Have you noticed any flaws in this cultivation technique?"

"Not yet. Fellow Daoist, allow me some time. Although I've spotted some issues with this technique, whether there are flaws is hard to say."

Chen Shi replied apologetically, "This technique is perfect, without any weaknesses I can find."

Huangfu Jun felt some joy in his heart, "Then there are no flaws. It seems my master did not deceive me."

Deep down, he held great respect for his master, loath to shatter his ideal image.

Chen Shi pondered, "I've seen perfect techniques before. Emperor Changsheng's Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, too, had no visible flaws and was remarkably perfect. However, that technique was incomplete, not even transmitting the full Divine Skills. A perfect technique can still hide mysteries."

After much consideration, he said, "Give me half a year, and I will definitely discern its mysteries."

Huangfu Jun shook his head, "I can't wait here for you for half a year. Now, the Three Pure Ones Realm has called my master and me to combat the Heavenly Court. Penglai West is peaceful, but outside, it's already a slaughter. I've been recuperating for half a year now, and any longer absence would raise suspicions."

Chen Shi asked, "What does the Three Pure Ones Realm want you to do?"

"To search for the Three Pure Demon Suppression Well and release the Great Demon."

Huangfu Jun said, "For the past two years, this has been my task. However, interestingly, I sensed another force was searching for the Three Pure Demon Suppression Well, opposing us."

Chen Shi was stirred, and smiled, "Could it be my dirt body?"

"Probably not. Your dirt body numbers only nine, but the opposing force boasts many people, widely distributed, even knowing the locations of Wells hidden in certain Buzhou."

Huangfu Jun continued, "This force is likely from the Heavenly Court. I've yet to encounter them, but as the saying goes, 'He who walks by the river often gets wet.' Sooner or later, we will meet."

He didn't linger, rising to take his leave.

"Who is your respected master?" Chen Shi rose to see him off and inquired.

Huangfu Jun replied, "My master never mentioned his name to me. But sometimes immortals visited, referring to him as Mr. Huaiyi or Mr. Qu."

"Qu Huaiyi?"

Chen Shi barely resisted the urge to use the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy to deduce Qu Huaiyi's background.

Existences capable of directly confronting Emperor Changsheng, if he employed the strategy to deduce them, they could detect his position and easily kill him.

Chen Shi personally saw Huangfu Jun off from Penglai West, watching him depart into the distance.

Little Dun Fairy stood by his side, asking, "Husband, do you trust this person?"
