I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 103: Heaven Level Technique: Internal Five Elements, External Derived Eight Trigrams

As soon as the dual-choice was made, Qin Lao knew the thoughts and intentions of everyone.

But he didn't mind. He was confident that the little guy he hadn't seen yet would definitely choose him.

"..."

When the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense due to Zhong Cang's gradual stiffness, with a "buzz," the door of the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven opened again.

Sensing the movement of the Grotto-Heaven, Zhong Cang and the others walked out one after another.

"Phew..."

Having left the shaking Grotto-Heaven, even Zhong Cang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, despite his willpower.

The Grotto-Heaven just now was really terrifying, giving Zhong Cang a feeling of the world collapsing.

He never wanted to experience such a feeling again.

"Hmm?!!"

Just as Zhong Cang was calming himself down by exhaling, he suddenly felt a force turning into a big hand, grabbing him and lifting him into the sky.

The sudden action almost made Zhong Cang draw his sword.

Fortunately, he quickly realized that this was Cloud Firmament Sect, and the seniors on the palace were the elders of the sect, which restrained Zhong Cang's impulse to make a move.

Without resisting, Zhong Cang was lifted to the top of the sky palace after about ten seconds.

At the same time, he saw a group of powerful Perfected Beings surrounding him with gentle expressions.

Standing at the forefront of the Perfected Beings was an old man who looked a bit unkempt.

Subconsciously, Zhong Cang glanced at him but didn't dare to look for too long.

On the other hand, the old man looked Zhong Cang up and down several times and nodded with extreme satisfaction, saying, "The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation is running so smoothly. You have indeed cultivated my created technique to the third level!"

"Technique, created?" Zhong Cang thought.

"Are you the founder of the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram?"

Seeing Zhong Cang's quick reaction, Qin, the Perfected Being, was even more satisfied.

"You guessed it right. That technique was created by me with all my efforts. How is it? Isn't the technique I created good?"

It was not just good; it increased one's power tenfold, could be self-cultivated, and could simultaneously increase one's power, physical body, and divine consciousness during cultivation. This technique could be said to be perfect.

The only flaw was that it was extremely difficult to cultivate.

After all, it involved controlling the five elements and studying formations, which was not an easy task.

However, the difficulty of cultivation was a problem for cultivators.

And Zhong Cang happened to not be afraid of difficult techniques.

Therefore, he was extremely satisfied with this technique, and he also greatly admired the senior who created it.

"To be able to create a technique that can operate on its own, a Perfected Being truly studies the Heavenly Human."

"Hahaha..."

This flattery made Qin laugh heartily. In this harmonious atmosphere, he spoke up.

"Zhong Cang, I am willing to pass on all my knowledge to you. Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Of course, I am willing..."

In Cloud Firmament Sect, those who could recruit disciples in such a grand event as the Outer Sect Grand Competition were at least at the Foundation Building stage, and there were even many Gold Core Perfected Beings.

Of course, among Perfected Beings, there were also strong and weak ones.

But in Zhong Cang's eyes, the old man in front of him, who could create such an excellent technique instead of learning from others, was definitely a strong Perfected Being.

And from his posture, it can also be seen that the status of the old man in front of him is extremely high.

In this situation, he wants to take on disciples, and Zhong Cang is naturally willing.

However, before Zhong Cang could finish speaking, a series of transmissions entered his mind.

"Zhong Cang, I suggest you think carefully and don't agree too quickly. Qin Lao does have ability and a high status, but he is a formation master and his own cultivation is not outstanding..."

"Formation cultivation is extremely difficult. Are you really determined to study formations for the rest of your life..."

"Zhong Cang, your most outstanding ability is swordsmanship. Come to my Hundred Swords Peak, become my disciple, and I can make a solemn vow to let you become the next peak master!"

...

Because he received too many transmissions in one breath, Zhong Cang's head was buzzing, and his expression was stunned in place.

It took him a full thirty seconds to sort everything out.

From those transmissions, Zhong Cang also learned about the situation of the old man in front of him.

Qin Lao is a formation master, and it is because of his identity as a formation master that he is highly regarded by the Human Venerables.

Following him, Zhong Cang will also learn formations.

And this made Zhong Cang hesitate.

It's not that he doesn't like formations.

Mainly because others have exaggerated too much. From their words, Zhong Cang learned that the current Qin Lao has the opportunity to advance to Gold Core.

But because he was obsessed with formations when he was young, he abandoned everything and devoted himself to studying formations day and night.

This study lasted for a hundred years.

Then, in his obsession, he missed the best cultivation time. Although he successfully promoted to a formation master, his cultivation remained at the False Dan stage.

Zhong Cang is confident that he won't be so obsessed with formations, but he also knows one thing: studying formations will inevitably waste countless time.

His stunned expression and hesitant expression were seen by Qin Lao.

He was not angry about this, but calmly said, "These people should have told you about my situation. Because of my obsession with formations, I delayed my cultivation. You also know about it."

"Cough cough..."

Before Zhong Cang could say anything, the Perfected Beings beside him were a little embarrassed.

But Zhong Cang, upon hearing this, thought of something and bowed, saying, "Senior, I am willing to become your disciple."

"?!!"

This statement puzzled the other Perfected Beings.

They didn't understand why Zhong Cang, who knew everything, still wanted to become Qin Lao's disciple.

Qin Lao nodded and said with some emotion, "It seems that you have also discovered it."

"That's right, the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram is a technique I created after I lost hope of advancing to Gold Core. It allows you to calmly endure the pain and, in order to prevent future generations from repeating my mistakes, cultivate without having to worry about it. Your cultivation will continue to increase."

"The extra time can be used to study formations."

"At the same time, the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram is closely related to formations. As long as your understanding of formations is deep enough, the realm of the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram will also improve."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about being trapped in a certain realm due to spending too much time studying formations."

At this point, he revealed a big secret to Zhong Cang.

"And the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram is not the final form of this technique. With the help of the sect's ancestor and the use of the sect's treasure, the Spirit Communication Stone, this technique can be further enhanced... In the final form, it combines the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. With one step, formations will naturally form. This is the complete form of this technique."

"If you cultivate it to perfection, you can form a formation on your own and suppress enemies with the power of formations. At that time, the power of this technique will be at least at the Heaven Level."
