Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 321: Chapter 266: The Wondrous Use of Planting Skill

In the midst of the sky, a Cultivation Technique suddenly appeared.

All present had not anticipated this.

Not only that, but this Cultivation Technique seemed somewhat special, Wang Sheng felt something was off.

“Is spiritual power invading my mind?”

Wang Sheng investigated along this stream of spiritual power and eventually discovered that this spiritual force actually stemmed from the Cultivation Technique in mid-air.

“No, why did I remember this Cultivation Technique after just a glance?” The Divine Sparrow King exclaimed.

...

For warriors of their level, memory was naturally strong.

Yet no matter how strong the memory was, it still required effort to memorize. The Divine Sparrow King had merely glanced at it, without even clearly discerning the content, when he found a scripture had appeared in his mind.

He instantly realized where this scripture had come from, and then, upon comparing it, indeed found it was the scripture of the Cultivation Technique floating in mid-air.

By then, Wang Sheng had also finished reading the scripture.

“The ‘Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter’?”

“Yes, and it is the version I modified, more mature and even more terrifying. I’m giving it to you, hoping you will treasure it…” although said thus, Wang Sheng could hear the ill intent in the White Lotus Spirit King’s words.

“Do you want us to cultivate it as well?” The Golden Monkey King quickly figured it out.

The White Lotus Spirit King did not reply, her life essence gradually waning.

In a short time, she was completely dead, leaving behind only an ordinary lotus corpse, which was also wilting away.

“…”

The scene fell into silence.

Eventually, the Divine Sparrow King spoke, seemingly with some lamentation, “It’s all fate!”

Wang Sheng couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “What exactly does the White Lotus Demon King mean by the debt the Human Race owes the Spirit Clan?”

The Divine Sparrow King and the Golden Monkey King exchanged glances.

Finally, the Golden Monkey King answered:

“In truth, there are some things about which even we of the Spirit Clan are unclear, but I can tell you that originally, the Spirit Clan did not practice Qi Blood Martial Arts; that was the way of Cultivation for your Human Race. Until six thousand years ago, when your Human Race encountered problems that even affected the entire world, we of the Spirit Clan had no choice but to begin practicing Qi Blood Martial Arts.

To us of the Spirit Clan, this was a disaster, and most critically, this disaster gave rise to the Demon Clan… The acts of the Demon Clan were too damaging to the heavens and detrimental to reason, and if members of a Spirit Clan group descended to becoming the Demon Clan, then the entire group would have to bear the consequences…”

There were things they did not wish to disclose, but Wang Sheng was so powerful that they feared him, so in the end, they decided to reveal the truth.

Then the Divine Sparrow King took up the conversation, “The last time I went out with the White Lotus Spirit King, it was to cleanse the White Lotus Demon, to lessen the consequences for their White Lotus Clan. However, even lessening the consequences did not mean they became nonexistent; the White Lotus Spirit King still had to bear a certain price. She thought she could withstand it, only to not anticipate the enticement of this scripture…”

The ‘Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter’ was not the inherent reason for the White Lotus Spirit King’s descent into the Demon Clan; the scripture was merely a catalyst.

That kind of price was truly hard to endure.

The Spirit Clan originally believed that the White Lotus Clan could withstand it, but now it seemed that they could not.

This time, the loss of the Spirit Clan was severe.

“So, becoming the Demon Clan clears all matters?”

The Divine Sparrow King and the Golden Monkey King nodded gravely.

“Heaven and earth are heartless, treating all creatures as straw dogs…” Wang Sheng suddenly thought of this saying.

The original intent of this saying was that heaven and earth are fair, treating all things equally.

But the rules of this world seemed to be otherwise.

Members of the Spirit Clan becoming the Demon Clan would actually have an impact on the group, necessitating the clan’s people to slay the fallen to resolve it.

Not only that, falling to become the Demon Clan apparently rendered one unaffected.

Should good people always have guns pointed at them?

“Is it you, Heavenly Father?” He didn’t say this aloud.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” the tribulations of the Spirit Clan were definitely abnormal.

Over six thousand years ago, an accident occurred, and Wang Sheng couldn’t help but suspect that there was something amiss.

But why was the Spirit Clan targeted?

Even without asking, Wang Sheng knew that the current state of the Spirit Clan was probably not good.

“Do you know what’s going on?”

Both the Divine Sparrow King and the Golden Monkey King shook their heads.

“If we knew what was going on, we wouldn’t be so passive, and you wouldn’t need to ask us. We’ve already told you everything we can.”

This was already considered a core secret of the Spirit Clan.

“Thank you then!”

Wang Sheng didn’t insist further; he had been observing with his Divine Thought and knew that these two Spirit Kings didn’t have much information left.

Just as they said, if they knew what the matter was, the Spirit Clan would not be in such a tragic state.

He and the two Spirit Kings had their own worries, so he intended to leave. At this moment, a voice came through.

“Please, esteemed predecessors, save our brothers and sisters!”

It was three White Lotuses that had gone out for help.

They had been trying to revive their siblings who still had life in them, but even with their powers equivalent to those of a Great Grandmaster, they had no solution.

Hearing this, the Divine Sparrow King replied, “It’s not that I don’t want to save them, but there’s no way. Their very life force is being drained, they’re even beginning to degenerate. You know what this means, right? Take care of yourselves. At least you haven’t been wiped out…”

The three White Lotuses felt despair; they, of course, knew what this meant.

Wang Sheng looked at the White Lotuses in the lake. There were still eight with faint signs of life, but they were very weak and could disappear at any moment.

“…I’ll give it a try, but whether it will work depends on fate!”

“We implore you, predecessor! Whatever the outcome, our clan is willing to follow you, to be at your service!”

Wang Sheng didn’t respond but directly manipulated the lake water and poured it over the eight White Lotuses that still had breaths of life.

Divine Sparrow King: ???

Golden Monkey King: ???

Just pouring water to save them? Even if they wanted to deceive the three White Lotuses, they shouldn’t treat the matter so dismissively!

But soon, they changed their minds.

Because those living lotuses in the lake began to show stronger signs of life!

Divine Sparrow King: ???

Golden Monkey King: ???

They couldn’t understand; could it really be as simple as watering them back to life?

No matter how you looked at it, it was far too preposterous and defied all logic.

Naturally, the three White Lotuses were thrilled when they saw this scene and immediately said, “Thank you, predecessor, thank you…”

This predecessor was indeed powerful; a seemingly random action had actually revived members of their clan.

Wang Sheng remained silent, but his heart was not calm.

“So it really worked, amazing, Planting Skill!”

At first, he had been trying the equivalent of a doctor for a dead horse.

He thought that even if the White Lotus were part of the Spirit Clan, they should still not be able to escape their identity as plants, right?

So he thought of the Planting Skill.

To his surprise, it actually worked; of course, he also realized its limitations.

“The healing might take some time, so even if you don’t want to follow me, you no longer have a choice!”

Although he could stabilize the lives of the White Lotuses that were about to die, full recovery would take some time, and they might encounter obstacles…
