I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3141: Chapter 1608: Cao Erzhu with Three Souls, Uncle in the Path of the Dog Shows the Way
 

“Uncle, are we just going to sit here?”

“Cultivate.”

“Just cultivate?”

“Mm.”

Cultivating was indeed a dull affair.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, Cao Erzhu sat cross-legged, chatting sporadically with the voices in his mind.

After yet another dry conversation, he clearly couldn’t sit still any longer. His eyelids fluttered and he finally chose to open his eyes and say, disconsolately,

“Uncle, what happens after we finish cultivating?”

“Four Scarifice, you’ve finished cultivating too?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“… Your old man really laid a solid foundation for you.”

“My old man is powerful.” Cao Erzhu gave a thumbs up, his eyes filled with admiration.

Kui Leihan was indeed powerful.

The Divine couldn’t help but fall silent.

With his temperament and achievements, it was rare for him to admire someone so, Bazhun’an was one, and Kui Leihan was another.

Leaving Xu Xiaoshou aside, the body-forging talent of the Cao father and son was the greatest The Divine had ever seen in his life.

The father was a pity; he had strayed into the way of spiritual cultivation yet managed to blindly cultivate a Master Physique.

Later, with only the ancient martial arts basic “Gentleman Body Forging Method” that he himself taught, the father quickly cultivated a Sovereign Physique.

Such talent was extraordinary across the world.

Sadly, for the sake of self-imprisonment, he dissipated his Sovereign Physique himself in the end, and there was no more hope for advancement in this life.

Had he dedicated himself to practicing ancient martial arts, he would certainly have achieved greatness.

His son…

Cao Erzhu should be called “terrifying”!

His old man was indeed trapped, but his ambition could be glimpsed from the things Erzhu cultivated.

The Lightning Upanishad, Six Paths of Penetrating Divine Senses, twenty-five years of only practicing the basics of ancient martial arts body forging…

Listening to the little one who had opened his heart to him, he also came into contact with the Ancient Sword Technique, believed to follow You Tu, though he wasn’t successful in that path.

It didn’t matter!

With just the former three, which path wasn’t a broad road that could lead to Ancestral Godhood?

With Kui Leihan leading and arranging the way ahead, almost every step Cao Erzhu took before becoming a demi-saint was correct, without a single moment wasted.

Even practicing all three paths didn’t hinder each other; on the contrary, they complemented and enhanced each other.

In fact, Xu Xiaoshou’s practice of ancient martial arts was somewhat eclectic and not pure.

Cao Erzhu was starkly different!

It seemed that Kui Leihan had long foreseen that one day his son would meet him, and using the “Gentleman Body Forging Method” passed on to him, he improved it to create the “Gentleman’s Hammer Technique,” laying an almost “perfect” ancient martial arts foundation for his son.

If it were an outsider modifying the basic body forging method of ancient martial arts, The Divine would not even take a second look.

Kui Leihan…

This guy was truly cultivating with his brain.

He innovated, eliminating the massive amount of time, spiritual ingredients, and money initially needed for the “Gentleman Body Forging Method” and replaced them with the Lightning Upanishad and God Punishment Tribulation.

Lightning-type spiritual cultivation stimulated the muscles, invigorating the limbs and bones, nurturing new muscle growth;

The God Punishment Tribulation explored the depths of potential and had been constantly refining Erzhu’s physique since boyhood without a break for over twenty years.

Such a physique, nurtured in this way, was even stronger at its foundation than The Divine’s own Acquired Stage physique soaked in medicinal baths!

Erzhu was not of a sacred physique, and not even a spiritual physique… although it was also possible that The Divine was self-admittedly short-sighted and couldn’t see it.

But he could tell at a glance that after more than twenty years of forging, the sensitivity of his physique to lightning-type cultivation, to Penetrating Divine Senses, to ancient martial arts, was superior to that of a sacred physique!

Now that he had come into contact with genuine ancient martial arts, The Divine really found himself tired of saying the words “Thick Accumulation and Thin Emission” over the past few days.

Eight Doors achieved in a short time.

Seven Constellations achieved quickly.

Six Paths understood in just a few days.

Even the Super Taoization level of Four Scarifice came effortlessly.

How many people immersed themselves in the path of ancient martial arts for most of their lives and couldn’t master either Eight Doors or Seven Constellations?

Wang Dachui is the best example.

What is the meaning of “Sharpening your axe will not delay your chopping of wood”?

Twenty-six years sharpening the foundational roots and less than a month to cultivate “Four Sacrifice·Cao Erzhu,” that is the best example.

Of course, Kui Leihan’s new secret recipe for rapid success wasn’t flawless.

Greenhouse-grown carnivorous flowers might well be nurtured, but their minds aren’t even as tough as a rose’s.

Roses have thorns at least.

If Cao Erzhu didn’t take the initiative to peek out of the vase, others might think he was a harmless trumpet flower.

By comparison, Xu Xiaoshou, several years his junior, was much stronger than Cao Erzhu in the trials and tribulations of the secular world.

“Cultivating to Four Scarifice, you should take a break.”

The Divine sighed in his heart and chose to stop in time because forcing growth was wrong.

After Four Scarifice, it should be the Three Heavens.

The Three Heavens, however, were most in need of secular experience, which Cao Erzhu sorely lacked.

“Erzhu, remember this well.”

“Whether it’s the way of spiritual cultivation, the path of Penetrating Divine Senses or the way of ancient martial arts, your current state has reached the limit of human capabilities.”

“Next, what you have to cultivate is the soul, the level of will, the understanding of entering and leaving the secular world.”

“I do not know if your old man has taught you these, but to me, these are things you can never learn in the blacksmith shop.”

“So, it’s possible that today, your old man is willing to let you enter the world of Spiritual Cultivators.”

Old man…

At the mention of his old man, Cao Erzhu felt sad.

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he could see the handshake pattern, see the head that someone had stuffed into a barrel.

Fortunately, every time after this, the immortal-like Lord Li would appear to soothe him, the frightened, and employ Immortal Techniques to wake him from the nightmare.

Lord Li must be stronger than Uncle The Divine and his old man, right?

Erzhu was too sad to answer.

The Divine could only sigh softly, but did not explain how Kui Leihan could have had his head cut off. He mused to himself:
