The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 76 - 73: Humanoid Nuclear Bomb, Follow-up Cultivation Technique

Chapter 76: Chapter 73: Humanoid Nuclear Bomb, Follow-up Cultivation Technique

Before long, Yang An returned to his residence.

Outside the main gate, the Corpse Slave Fugui and a few others stood guard, as still and unmoving as wooden posts.

Yang An was touched.

’He never thought he’d one day be moved by a few walking corpses.’

’At least these Corpse Slaves are far more normal than my fellow disciples. They’re easy to get along with and obedient.’

He reached out and patted Fugui’s shoulder. It was hard as a rock.

"Good work!"

"As a reward, go make me a meal."

Yang An pushed open the gate and returned to his room.

He had gone hungry quite a bit while rushing back with Senior Sister Wen Yin, so he needed to eat his fill before he’d have the energy to cultivate.

Soon, however, this would no longer be a concern. As long as he broke through to the Late Stage of the Fake Food Realm, he would be able to achieve Fasting.

While it didn’t mean he could stop eating and drinking entirely, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry.

Soon, Fugui had once again prepared a large, canteen-style meal and brought it to Yang An.

After wolfing down the food until he was full, he was ready to officially begin cultivating.

Before leaving Corpse Saliva Valley with Senior Sister Wen Yin, the Mana in his acupoints had already been close to full. He only needed a few more days to reach the Perfection of the Middle Stage of the Fake Food Realm.

Therefore, Yang An didn’t need to condense Mana on his own right now. Instead, he planned to use this time to master his next Dao of Destiny Technique.

Between the two choices, the One Qi Dao Guang Method and the Qi Guang Technique, Yang An chose the latter without much hesitation.

After all, based on the information he had on the two Techniques, the effects of the Qi Guang Technique were far more powerful.

Of course, if he didn’t obtain a better Technique later on, he would still cultivate the One Qi Dao Guang Method into a Dao of Destiny Technique. It was merely a matter of priority.

He retrieved the wooden box from his Meat Burial Talisman, sat cross-legged on the floor, and picked up the book containing the Cultivation Method. After using Purification on it, he began to read.

The book was less than a few dozen pages long, but Yang An studied it meticulously for over two hours before finally finishing it without missing a single detail.

All he could say was that choosing to make this Technique his next Dao of Destiny Technique was absolutely the right call!

Just as the information box had summarized, the Qi Guang Technique had two modes of use: "release" and "retract."

One was for ranged area-of-effect attacks, the other for close-quarters bursts of power.

The "release" mode wasn’t much different from other Light Magic, but the "retract" mode was the main event.

The retraction aspect of the Qi Guang Technique didn’t just pull the light from the Technique itself back into his body; it could also absorb other light, granting his physical body a massive boost and explosive power for a short time.

In other words, if Yang An mastered the Qi Guang Technique and activated all three of his Dao of Destiny Techniques at once...

...he could use the Qi Guang Technique to retract all of that light into his body, gaining terrifying physical burst power.

The more light he absorbed, the stronger the burst!

Although this didn’t align with the combat style Yang An wanted to pursue, it would give him another life-saving measure—another trump card—if an enemy ever got close.

It might produce some unexpected results when the time came.

It was truly worthy of the core summary from the information box: "Control power with light; immortals and gods hide their names!"

Enough talk. Time to train!

...

「More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.」

To Yang An’s surprise, just four days after he started, the Mana in his acupoints was completely full. He was ready to fuse his Dao of Destiny Technique and break through to the next realm at any moment.

However, it wasn’t until now, over half a month later, that he finally gained a preliminary grasp of the Qi Guang Technique and fused it to become his new Dao of Destiny Technique.

And that was the result of him training diligently, forgetting to eat or sleep.

When he had cultivated the Extreme Day Divine Aspect, he had a cultivator’s memories in his mind, which allowed him to achieve twice the results with half the effort, quickly mastering the basics and becoming increasingly proficient.

The Qi Guang Technique, however, came only from a simple written text, so cultivating it naturally took longer.

Every Technique has its own difficulties. Mastery depends on one’s personal understanding and Enlightenment. Yang An considered his own Enlightenment to be decent; if it were anyone else, it would have probably taken them at least one or two months, or even longer, to grasp it.

Thankfully, he had finally broken through to the Late Stage of the Fake Food Realm. Yang An breathed a sigh of relief.

A blinding Golden Radiance erupted from Yang An’s body. It was as if a sun had suddenly appeared in the room. The air instantly grew dry, then scorching hot.

But in the next moment, the Golden Radiance was abruptly retracted back into his body. The brilliant light plunged into instantaneous darkness. Then, countless specks of light burst forth from every inch of his flesh.

In an instant, Yang An seemed to transform into a golden humanoid figure. Every part of his body appeared to turn to gold, and a terrifying fluctuation emanated from him.

If releasing the Qi Guang Technique was like a scorching sun, then retracting it was like a nuclear bomb containing terrifying power.

And this was just the light from a single Technique. If he added the Extreme Day Divine Radiance and the firelight from the Lighting Technique...

Yang An couldn’t even imagine how terrifying the instantaneous burst would be if he compressed the power of all his Techniques into his body.

The specks of light quickly faded from his body. Yang An sat cross-legged once more. Now that he had reached the Late Stage of the Fake Food Realm, it was time to go to the old guy and ask for the subsequent Cultivation Technique.

Back at the Xiyue River, the old guy had only given him the Fake Food Realm portion of the Mystic Path Decoded and told him to come ask for the rest himself after he entered that realm.

Without the follow-up technique, he wouldn’t be able to fuse a fourth Dao of Destiny Technique and break through to the Primordial Feeding Realm.

But before that, there were two more things he had to do.

First, he had to master the One Qi Dao Guang Method.

Regardless of whether he could find a stronger, more suitable Dao of Destiny Technique later, mastering another Technique was still a way to increase his strength.

The second thing was to master the Illusion Technique he obtained from the Pan Yu Illusion Realm.

This Illusion Technique could hide his Cultivation Level, conceal his true strength, and mask his aura. It had many wonderful uses.

It was a perfect technique for avoiding attention and guarding against ambushes.

...

「Another month passed in a flash.」

On this day, Yang An had Fugui go and invite his Second Senior Brother, Fu Ming. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Having not seen him for many days, Yang An noted that Fu Ming still looked gravely ill. His face was even paler than before, and there were faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had clearly coughed up blood again on his way over.

’I wonder what’s going on with Second Senior Brother,’ Yang An thought, but he suppressed his curiosity and didn’t ask.

Yang An quickly explained to his Second Senior Brother why he had summoned him.

His Second Senior Brother had previously warned him that Heavenly Respect Pavilion was Elder Life Crane’s private training ground. Without a summons or permission from the old guy, no one was allowed to approach it.

The only time Yang An had ever been near Heavenly Respect Pavilion was during his discipleship ceremony, when he had gone inside to invite the old guy out.

Therefore, if he wanted to see the old guy, he had to go through his Second Senior Brother first. Fu Ming was the only person in the Life Crane Sect who could request an audience with their Master at any time.

"Junior Brother, are you here to get the subsequent Cultivation Technique?"

Fu Ming asked, his face contorted in pain as he let out a few coughs.

Yang An nodded. He was genuinely afraid his Second Senior Brother might cough up blood and die at any moment.

"Then you shouldn’t be looking for Master."

Fu Ming said, a profound look in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

Yang An was confused.

"Because the Cultivation Technique you want isn’t with Master!"

"There is only one copy of the technique.

For example, Master should have given you the techniques for the Resonance Stage and the Fake Food Realm.

The subsequent technique for breaking through to the Primordial Feeding Realm is in the hands of your Eleventh Senior Brother."

"You should go find your Eleventh Senior Brother, Pi Chu!"
