How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 338: Initial Exploration of the Secondary Deity

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Initial Exploration of the Secondary Deity

This Eight-petal Green Lotus emitted a familiar energy fluctuation within his Secret Realm Space. As Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit came into contact with it, he suddenly felt it was of the same origin as his Subdivine Skill. From descending Hu Mountain to the journey to the hotel, his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit lay upon this lotus, absorbing the Subdivine Qi it emitted, and his Subdivine Skill visibly grew. By the time he reached the hotel, the energy fluctuation within the lotus had mostly dissipated, but his Subdivine Skill had unexpectedly broken through to Level 20.

This Eight-petal Green Lotus.

It is remarkably similar to the black water left by the mysterious secondary deity master within Saintess Qian Ling’s Blood Coffin.

That black water is the secondary deity’s "Manifestation." (What is "Manifestation"? Subdivine Secret Technique is such a nebulous Miracle Technique, leaving behind a "concrete projection.")

This Eight-petal Green Lotus, could it also be the secondary deity’s "Manifestation"?

Subdivine Secret Technique, rumored not to reside within the Heavenly Dao system, is an independent exotic art extraordinary in its marvel. Now it’s deeply linked to the enemy organization Utopia, and has become a "standard issue" for Level 1 Bosses. What does that signify?

Lin Xiaosu pondered for a long time but couldn’t unravel the mystery.

Suddenly, he thought of a person...

More accurately, he wasn’t sure whether this person was indeed human...

His Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit entered the Blood Coffin within his body.

Crossing over the Blood Coffin, there was a Time Space River ahead.

Within the Time Space River, on a golden lotus, the old man with the yellowish complexion lifted his gaze, staring intently at Lin Xiaosu’s Primordial Spirit drifting toward him.

"Hey, Big Yellow, long time no see!" Lin Xiaosu greeted warmly.

"Long time, huh?" Big Yellow sneered: "Although time in the Time Space River is chaotic, I might occasionally get it wrong, but this time I remember clearly. It’s been less than half a year since we last met."

"Indeed, time is a relative concept. If you’re starving through the day, a day can be very long. If you’re trapped in the Time Space River for tens of thousands of years, half a year for you is probably just a blink!"

Big Yellow glared at him: "You know it! Then tell me, have you made any progress during this time?"

"The profundity of time is too bewildering, too confusing! Let’s not dwell on depressing matters..." Lin Xiaosu floated over and landed beside the Time Space River: "Big Yellow, there’s a question I want to ask you..."

His voice suddenly stopped, because Big Yellow’s expression was very peculiar, staring at him as if seeing a ghost.

"What is this..."

Big Yellow suddenly sprang up, pointing directly at Lin Xiaosu, his finger trembling with excitement: "Boy... boy! You... you... you can actually step onto the temporal shore!"

Lin Xiaosu looked at the Time Space River before him, then at the excited Big Yellow in the river, and at the rolling temporal waves beneath his feet: "Stepping onto the temporal shore... what’s wrong with that?"

"Boy, how should I describe you? The temporal shore, is it something ordinary can step onto? You’ve managed to grasp even the basics of Space-time Law in just half a year, which greatly boosts my confidence. Maybe in a few centuries... hm, or even within a millennium, you truly might have the hope of breaking into the Time Space River!"

Damn!

Centuries?

Even a millennium?

Forget centuries; just let me be tough in fifty-sixty years when my soul finally drifts into the Time Space River?

Lin Xiaosu rolled his eyes, disinclined to discuss with this old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years and dismissed longevity about "whether people are still tough a century later..."

"Big Yellow, do you know anything about Subdivine Secret Technique?" He changed the subject.

Big Yellow managed to suppress his excitement effectively: "Subdivine Secret Technique... Boy, why do you only talk about high-end topics right off the bat?"

"Is Subdivine Secret Technique considered high-end?"

"Subdivine Secret Technique’s level varies depending on the person..."

Big Yellow explained...

The secondary deity signifies spiritual power.

Call it low-end, it’s so low-end to what extent? Everyone more or less has some, and it’s not just humans; any breathing creature has it, even pigs!

The reflection in humans is consciousness!

The consciousness body contains the secondary deity.

However, in the Cultivation Path, Subdivine Secret Technique refers to something else entirely. Bearing the title of secret technique must mean it has utility!

In terms of "utility," it’s high-end.

Subdivine Secret Technique can create illusion realms, trapping powerful beings for millennia without escape.

It can kill Primordial Spirits in void, invisible and intangible. It’s notorious in Cultivation Path.

It can probe others’ inner voices, making worldly plots and schemes unhidden.

Nevertheless, gain inevitably leads to loss, as this technique is too insidious and harms the harmony of heaven, cultivators are doomed to suffer heavenly punishment!

He spoke a lot, leading Lin Xiaosu’s heart to rise progressively higher with excitement, then suddenly hearing that last sentence...

"Heavenly punishment is certain?"

"Heavenly Dao balances; gain inevitably leads to loss! If one side overachieves, another side must repay." Big Yellow said: "Those overly outstanding in secondary deity face minor health issues initially, premature death in the midterm, and perhaps heavenly punishment in the end... Boy, your perception is transcendent, you better be cautious of premature death due to excessive wisdom!"

"Oh, come on! Do you ever stop babbling?! You are the one who will die prematurely due to excessive wisdom!" Lin Xiaosu didn’t indulge him at all.

One sentence made Big Yellow collapse, releasing a long sigh: "I do wish for excessive wisdom, yet after tens of thousands of years, I find I am still not ’wise’ enough! I am actually indifferent to dying early or not... Once you reach my point, you will know that even death sometimes offers an escape!"

"You’ve ended up like this, and although you refuse to face it, it’s obvious even with your toes that the bad deeds you’ve done have brought you repercussions! Don’t worry, I am pure-hearted and won’t reach your position!" Lin Xiaosu said: "There’s another question – in Subdivine Secret Technique, is there an Eight-petal Green Lotus?"

Big Yellow’s eyes bulged at the first half; suddenly hearing the latter half...

Big Yellow suddenly raised his head.

His facial expression completely changed: "Eight-petal Green Lotus? What does it look like?"

Lin Xiaosu gestured, and a virtual Eight-petal Green Lotus appeared, precisely the one he obtained from Master Huikong.

Big Yellow gazed at this lotus for a long time, exhaling hugely: "Scared me! I thought you really had the capability to obtain one of the Sub-god Three Treasures’ ’Moon Lotus,’ turns out it’s merely a regular item..."

"Regular? Not entirely regular, right?" Lin Xiaosu said: "You probably can’t detect it from across the Time Space River, but this lotus holds the secondary deity Manifestation!"

Big Yellow’s brow slowly furrowed: "A lotus with secondary deity Manifestation; could it be that the Moon Lotus truly surfaced? Has this lotus been infused with Moon Lotus’s aura?"

Infused with Moon Lotus’s aura.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart suddenly brightened...

That might be the answer.

Level 1 Bosses all have a piece of illusion treasure at hand.

If this is indeed some exotic treasure Moon Lotus that shocks even Big Yellow, then Moon Lotus certainly seems a bit too cheap.

Only if Moon Lotus derived a spawned treasure could it make sense.

An item wouldn’t spontaneously spawn; could Utopia really possess such an exotic treasure, the genuine Moon Lotus? Could an ordinary thing touched by its aura transform into an illusion treasure that could even down the Qianlong King?

"What kind of treasure is Moon Lotus ultimately?"

Big Yellow said: "Subdivine Secret Technique isn’t inherently from this Heavenly Dao. It wanders the heavens. Three Treasures are its extreme: one is Lost Lotus, another Sun Lotus, and another Moon Lotus. Lost Lotus has three petals, Moon Lotus eight petals, Sun Lotus nine petals, each has its own marvel. To gain one of the Three Treasures is to truly attain the Subdivine Tao!"

What does it mean to attain Tao?

To transcend the domain of "Magic" and enter the realm of "Tao."

However, what practical use are these three lotuses ultimately?

To ascend to the Tao realms—what kind of realm is that? Even Big Yellow is unaware.
