How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 251 Subdivine Secret Technique

This primordial spirit, even if it takes over this body, should still be in its initial phase.

Should I take advantage of her weakness to finish her off?

Lin Xiaosu dismissed this thought.

After all, the role of the person in front of him is still shrouded in mystery.

She could be a very dangerous enemy, but she might also be a natural ally to the human clan, considering she did fight for the humans at Tieling Pass all those years ago.

More importantly, even if he could destroy her physical body, this primordial spirit... could he really kill it?

Lin Xiaosu’s mind was racing.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto those black droplets on the cave wall...

These black droplets were the ultimate opponent she fought in their life-or-death battle back then.

Capable of destroying her, they were extraordinary.

If I don’t take your White Feather, let me study these ultimate opponents of yours.

If I can figure out something useful, then even if you turn against me, I will have a means to counter you.

On the high platform, Catherine had already closed her eyes.

Lin Xiaosu walked over and touched one of the black droplets with his finger.

Suddenly, it felt as if a curtain was pulled open in his brain, and his consciousness became clear.

Next, the second droplet...

The third droplet...

The nth droplet...

He lost track of time; he only knew that after countless years, the droplets shattered by Saintess Qian Ling were all collected from the corners of this blood coffin by him.

These droplets would disappear into thin air as soon as he touched them.

His brain grew increasingly agile.

His brain functions were more active than ever before.

His Human Tao Orchid Heart rejoiced!

This is not water!

This is the manifestation of a secondary deity.

From these manifestations, he opened a window into the world of secondary deities...

Secondary deities are not mysterious at all.

Even ordinary people have them; it’s just spiritual power.

However, the secondary deities of ordinary people are too weak, making them only slightly smarter or more intelligent.

But for cultivators, the secondary deity is entirely different.

In the world of cultivators, secondary deities are developed to have various extraordinary functions...

For example, controlling others—how to do it? Using the Subdivine Skill, you can directly read the opponent’s thoughts, observing their intentions, which is no longer a lie. This is called the Mind Reading Technique!

Feeling the potential of this ability, Lin Xiaosu was extremely excited.

The world today is so complex.

Everyone knows people by face but not by heart.

If he could use the Subdivine Secret Technique to observe people and their hearts and directly access their deepest secrets, what a powerful weapon that would be! It would be a nuclear weapon in the realm of espionage!

Capture one Nine Headed Snake, and you uncover an entire nest!

Capture one traitor, and you bring out the whole group!

No matter what counter-espionage methods they use, it’s useless!

This is just the basic technique of the Subdivine Skill.

Its more advanced techniques are truly unheard of...

For example, the initial purpose of this black water droplet: through the blood coffin, it reenacts a droplet using the Subdivine Skill to kill Saintess Qian Ling. This is its ability to kill in the void, eradicating the opponent’s primordial spirit!

From this perspective, the secondary deity, though named subordinate to the primordial spirit, is actually the nemesis of the primordial spirit!

Oh my, this is quite taboo.

After learning these basic knowledge, Lin Xiaosu compared it to his own Subdivine Skill and felt a bit depressed that the Subdivine Essence carried by this droplet had considerably diminished after eons. His current Subdivine Skill was probably around Level 18.

Reaching Level 25 would allow him to read others’ thoughts.

Reaching Level 30 would enable him to kill in the void.

Of course, possessing the Subdivine Skill is still different from having none at all.

At the very least, Lin Xiaosu felt that his Human Tao Orchid Heart worked more efficiently.

In his Sea of Consciousness, it also seemed to have become rounder. The Sea of Consciousness Silver Fish appeared to have found a suitable space, significantly enhancing its connection with his consciousness.

The words of Shenghua Valley Lord Hua Miaoyi echoed in his mind: "The Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit is an external guest. If you wish to keep it, there are two methods: first, cultivate your own Primordial Spirit to merge with the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit; second, find a Spiritual Power Secret Technique to forcibly control it."

Now, he had taken the first step.

He possessed a Subdivine Secret Technique.

Although this secret technique could currently only serve as a lubricant for his Human Tao Orchid Heart, only as "tea" to retain the Heavenly Dao Silver Fish, as an old saying goes, if you take the first step, worry not about the second.

As he raised his gaze towards the high platform, he was slightly shocked.

On the high platform, Catherine was looking at him with a slight smile.

That smile immediately set off alarms in Lin Xiaosu’s heart, turning his alertness red!

Oh no!

She had done it!

What followed would be the most complex relationship between them.

If the other party were Catherine, there’s nothing to say; only one person would see the sky outside Lao Mountain.

However, she was no longer Catherine.

She was inhabiting Catherine’s body, but the consciousness inside was Saintess Qian Ling, the Spirit Clan saintess from countless years ago.

Catherine was his enemy.

But this person in front of him was not!

Catherine he could control, but the person before him was clearly beyond his control, even if she had just fused with this body, even if there was a process of re-cultivation after the Primordial Spirit takeover. But still, the imagination stemming from a "prehistoric great power" was simply too vast...

Lin Xiaosu’s emotions were in turmoil, though his face maintained a smile, "Finished?"

"Finished!" Catherine’s single word showed a slight hesitation...

Of course, it was just an inner hesitation...

Lin Xiaosu said, "Shall we go out?"

He took the lead and stepped out of the cave.

Catherine also exited the cave, breathing the fresh but devoid of Spiritual Energy air, her heart turbulence despite her calm demeanor made her a bit confused...

She was Saintess Qian Ling.

Slumbering within the Heavenly Dao Blood Coffin.

Not by her will, as she was merely healing her wounds.

Given her character, she absolutely did not want to become a remnant; she preferred to live or die in that grand era.

But in the process of healing, she passively became a remnant.

A sleep spanning countless millennia...

Upon awakening and reclaiming a body, the world outside was no longer familiar.

The spiritual energy was gone.

Had the Heavenly Dao abandoned this world?

The body she took, from an external perspective, shared a semblance with her former clansmen; internally, the bloodline held some familiarity of the Spirit Clan’s bloodline. It was perhaps the best parasitic body she could find.

Nonetheless, there was much to adapt to...

For instance, the language at first.

English was not her ancestral language.

But she was very familiar with it.

She comprehended what others said and spoke it herself.

All because she had perfectly inherited all of Catherine’s memories...

In those memories were parts she found repugnant, like killing the person in front of her.

Killing him on the orders of the Nine Headed Snake!

As she read through these memory fragments, Saintess Qian Ling felt utterly disgusted.

This descendant truly amounted to nothing.

To obey the directives of such a lowly organization?

Hmm?

Her interaction with the man in front of her started from an extremely stimulating encounter?

To Saintess Qian Ling, such extreme stimulation was incredibly base.

There was no place for such vulgarity in her world.

As a Nine Heavens Fairy, her path was the Great Dao; she was a fleeting firefly in the world, an eternal pure sound along the Cultivation Path...

Such disgraceful memories, she would extract and destroy them!

As she pinched her fingers to erase these memories...

Suddenly... she stopped.

Her heart raced intensely.

The Law of Life!

Why did the sensations in these memories involve the mysterious Law of Life?

The Law of Life—one of the Seven Laws of Heavenly Dao.

Most mysterious.

Surpassing her primary Wood Rules by a significant degree.

She cultivated rules.

Heavenly Dao Seven Techniques were laws.

Laws and rules, though just one word apart, differ vastly in level.

Lin Xiaosu touched Catherine’s butt, sending a strand of True Qi to a certain spot, which Catherine felt as mere extreme stimulation, but Saintess Qian Ling saw through the essence.

She found that this strand of True Qi contained highly mysterious Life Laws.

Life Law perfectly aligned with the Wood Rules.

Wood governs life force.

Life Law is the root of life and its ultimate evolution...

Even in her era, any law was rare, and in this End of Dharma Era, there existed Life Law?

How could this be?

Rules and laws are both results achieved at the end of the Three Realizations...

The young man before her clearly had not reached even the Enlightenment Realm, probably not even close to Observing Realm...

How could he comprehend the Law of Life?

This was too bizarre!

Saintess Qian Ling’s mind was filled with speculation, but none explained her ultimate doubt.

"Shall we leave the valley directly or..." Lin Xiaosu’s voice interrupted.

Saintess Qian Ling gathered her thoughts and gently nodded, "Let’s leave the valley."

Both walked out of the valley, Lin Xiaosu lightly pushing off the ground, leaping over the trees, his toes touching briefly before clear the emerald pond.

Saintess Qian Ling followed at a leisurely pace, a branch extending beneath her foot as she approached, carrying her smoothly over the pond.

To an observer, she was no different from Catherine.

Yet Lin Xiaosu sensed the difference.

Catherine required support from trees on both sides to bridge the gap, whereas Saintess Qian Ling did it effortlessly, with an elegant grace.

Lin Xiaosu pondered the outcome if they were to engage in a death match...

His chances seemed very slim!

He was shocked by Saintess Qian Ling’s prowess.

Saintess Qian Ling herself was deeply sighing.

An End of Dharma Era, truly hard to endure.

Without spiritual energy, she couldn’t utilize her ancient powers.

This body contained too many impurities, its foundation too poor!

Leading her to traverse this jungle on foot!!

To recover, the path ahead was truly long and arduous...

Only by tapping into the marvelous uses of the Life Law could she find a glimmer of hope for unlocking her potential.

"Detective Lin!" said Saintess Qian Ling softly.

The three words caused Lin Xiaosu’s heart to jump...

They’d left the blood coffin.

No matter how tightly sealed a lid, it might still be lifted.

Her address was as it was yesterday.

Her tone even gentler than the previous day.

Yet no matter how gentle, it couldn’t change the solemnity of the revelation...

"What now? Going to say ’goodbye’ to me?" Lin Xiaosu responded with a smile.

"Yes, I must leave, but before I go..."

Lin Xiaosu’s heartbeat spiked to 180!
