Chapter 22 - I Have Double Celestial Power!

'This martial technique was too powerful!'

Ding Hao wondered why no one picked this powerful martial technique manual?

As he read further, it was written, "This technique is between innate stage and energy forging level. Thus, there are two drawbacks to this technique; one, it consumed a great amount of energy. Nine levels of palm energy, every level consumed double the amount of energy of the level before. In order to achieve level nine, the amount of energy it consumed was shocking…"

"Is that so."

The people who come here to obtain manuals are all from the great innate stage. The innate stage practitioners have yet to initiate their yuandan and have limited spiritual energy to transfer. In order to practice the Nine Layers Blazing Palm one needed to transfer lots of spiritual energy. The usual innate stage practitioners who completed their training may not be able to achieve nine layers. Thus, this was a technique that only the energy forging level celestial teacher would be able to cultivate.

However, an energy forging level celestial teacher has other techniques and power to cultivate and release their energy. They have no need to cultivate the Nine Layers Blazing Palm Technique.

Thus, this technique was neither here nor there. This has little value.

He read further, "Number two, the innate stage practitioner may not be able to control the flame as the energy starts burning as one achieves level nine. There was a great possibility that one might get burnt… if one is neither a master of the mind or the spiritual energy, please consider the consequences!"

"There is a chance that you will burn yourself!" Ding Hao's sight froze and his body stiffened.

There was no doubt that the Nine Layers Blazing Palm technique was very enticing, but the two drawbacks made it difficult. The scariest part was that the cultivator had a chance of getting burned. You must know that the spiritual fire couldn't be put out with water! It was extremely dangerous!

After he pondered for a while, he finally took the token of permission and put it in the groove in front of him.

"I have the power absorption stone, and I can enter the perfect-stage meditative state at any time. My mental strength is in good condition! And I received Heaven's Will Spiritual Energy which exceeded the power of others. The yuandan that I received was an extra-large size!

"Although this is an extremely dangerous technique to learn, I believe that I can manage it!"

Crack!

A hole appeared on the stone in front of him. A firefly like spot flew from the hole.

Ding Hao grabbed the spot of light and put it in front of his heart. A cool sensation flowed through his head.

Not long after, in the hall of the City Lord's Residence.

"What?! Did he pick the Nine Layers Blazing Palm Technique? Oh no, what is wrong with this kid? Didn't you tell him what I told you?" Ling Yunxiao frowned after his servant reported to him.

The young military official said, "I did, word for word. I think Gentleman Ding has his own ideas."

"He has limited knowledge! This is a stupid move!" Ling Yunxiao was unhappy that the kid didn't listen to him. He said angrily, "Although he has a superior level one growth-type celestial gene, this is different from other superior levels one celestial genes. He is treading on thin ice! There is a danger of dropping in levels and transforming it into a useless celestial gene. He didn't take this opportunity to nourish his celestial gene but increase his battle strength. Learning something that neither has any benefit to himself nor to others. This is a stupid move!"

The young military official said, "The pros and cons of Nine Layers Blazing Palm Technique are written clearly in the manual. No one dared to pick it up but him. I wonder if Gentleman Ding has something else to lean on?"

"He has nothing. He was just being young and reckless! Didn't you notice that when he was seeking revenge on Ding Laosi and his family, he even used Heaven's will? He lacks the finesse of geniuses with superior level one celestial genes." Then Ling Yunxiao sighed, "I fear the day that this kid falls into the hands of a demon force."

Although he wasn't pleased, Ling Yunxiao took a manual from his drawer, "Send this celestial power manual to him!"

At the same time, a young military officer whispered by the young prince.

"Thank you, young man." The young prince received a black small bag and his facial expression turned cold.

"How?" Ding Juncai watched the young prince with bated breath.

The young prince said, " I was right, the kid picked the wrong power manual! He selected the Nine Layers Blazing Palm Technique, how reckless!"

Someone said in shock, "Nine Layers Blazing Palm Technique is the one that nobody ever chooses? That requires enormous mental strength and spiritual energy. Did he choose that martial technique? Is he mad?"

"He is not mad." The young prince smirked, "He wanted to burn his bridges even with the risk of lowering his celestial power level. He wanted to increase his battle strength and fight with us in the metropolitan examination!"

Ding Juncai looked worried and asked, "What can we do to beat him?"

The young prince said, "The kid was willing to forgo his superior level one celestial genes. It would put some stress on us during the examination. He selected the blazing palm, you can learn a strong icy palm technique that suits your Sunken Ice Celestial Gene. We'll use ice against fire to fight against him!"

Ding Juncai became confident. "Alright!"

He watched Ding Juncai walk towards the library, the young prince's facial expression turn cold and malicious.

The only reason that he saved Ding Juncai was to fight against Ding Hao!

And was hoping that by helping Ding Juncai to improve, he would spend some of Ding Hao's energy. During the metropolitan examination, he would let Ding Juncai fight Ding Hao first in order to spend some of his energy. And when it was the young prince's turn, he would be able to defeat him with ease and be the first of Wuzhou!

Actually, they held metropolitan examinations in Jiuzhou too. Why did the young prince choose to have the exam in Wuzhou instead?

This was because there were fewer strong opponents in Wuzhou. He wanted to take first place here! You must know that everyone who received first place in their state would become popular in the Jiuzhou Academy. They would be granted a level three celestial world promotion as a reward!

Celestial world promotion was the most important matter in the Celestial Cultivation Realm!

"There are barriers and stepping stones on the road of cultivation. If you are in my way, I have to kill you in order to achieve a higher level! The young prince said sinisterly. 

The wooden statue in the Ding family.

All the servants came to welcome Ding Hao when he got home. They were nodding their head and bowing to him. They looked slightly afraid.

In this world, having strength was power, and having celestial genes was the most powerful!

Since Ding Hao received a superior level one celestial gene, everybody respected him. No one dared to call him a 'piece of trash'. Everyone could see what happened to Ding Laosi and his family. They were afraid that they would receive the same treatment as they have bullied him before. Thus, everyone was afraid. 

"Forget it. Go and do your work." The head of evil doings had been eliminated. Ding Hao didn't want to bother with the rest. 

But he must kick Xiao Cui out, as she was loyal to Ding Junjie. He found out that Xiao Cui was too scared and had already left.

As the servants left he remembered and said, "Is the meditation room ready to be used?"

There was a meditation room in the Ding house. One would not be interrupted once entering the room. Prior to Ding Hao's awakening, Ding Laosi's sons had used the room. Now Ding Hao was able to use it again. 

"It is ready. Allow me to take you there." One of the servants brought Ding Hao to the meditation room.

Just before Ding Hao entered the room, the young military officers from the City Lord's Residence arrived. He passed Ling Yunxiao's cultivation manual to him.

"Thank the lord for me. I really appreciate it." Although he had no use for the cultivation manual, he had to thank him regardless.

The young military officer said earnestly, "Gentleman Ding, the Lord wanted me to remind you again that the growth type celestial gene is unlike other superior level one celestial genes. You must focus on upgrading your realm and nourish your celestial gene. You should not be too tied up with trying to increase your battle strength. If you focus only on increasing battle strength, it will ruin things for you."

"Understood."

Ding Hao sent the young officer to the door politely and was about to enter the meditation room when Minion followed him.

Minion had been enjoying the benefits of the perfect stage meditative state for a long time. Its senses had become sharp like a small leopard. Its eyes were bright and expressive.

"Minion, you know it well, don't you? Come with me." He locked the door and threw the manual that Ling Yunxiao gave him aside.

"Power Absorption Skill is my celestial power!

"All other powers are useless to me!"

Ding Hao sat cross-legged, he helped Minion enter a meditative state and then release his celestial gene.

He saw a plump little bird soaring above the sea of fire. This was Ding Hao's growth-type celestial gene.

"I wonder what will the little plump bird become?"

Just as Ding Hao uttered the last word, the celestial gene atop his head changed!

The bird and the sea of fire vanished, and left with a black nebula-like cyclone!

The black nebula-like cyclone was floating above Ding Hao's head and spinning unhurriedly and silently. It was like a black hole.

Ding Hao was delighted.

"Everybody thought that I received a growth-type celestial gene. No one knew that I received two celestial genes!"

"Double celestial genes!" If Min Zhengyuan were here he would be speechless. Ding Hao had double celestial genes, which was very hard to come by in the world of Jiuzhou!

"Not only that he has double celestial genes, they were superior level one celestial genes! If not the spiritual energy that shoots twenty meters high!"

"The others have only one celestial gene, and I have two superior level one celestial genes! That's why I received the celestial blessing!"

Ding Hao was proud. He rose from a piece of trash to a doubled-celestial gene genius. With some luck, but mostly thanks to his own plan!

"Young prince, you want to fight me? How are you going to do that? I have double superior level one celestial genes. One known, one hidden. Even if the Blaze Beast Celestial Gene failed, I still have the Black Nebula Celestial Gene!"

The Blaze Beast Celestial Gene must be a product of Ding Hao's constitution. The black-colored nebula-like cyclone had great absorption power!

His celestial gene had appeared when he had awakened, and Ling Yunxiao had stated that the image disappeared quickly. It had actually been absorbed by the cyclone celestial gene! 

DIng Hao retrieved a very thick book from his storage pouch.

When he went back he brought a Complete Celestial Gene Manual home, hoping to find the Black Nebula Celestial Gene.

He went through the book cover to cover and found nothing.

"Not even the Complete Celestial Gene Manual has the record of the Black Nebula Celestial Gene. It must be initiated by the absorption stone that I used to meditate! I feel that the black cyclone has a demonic sense to it. Jiuzhou is a righteous celestial world, I can't let others know about this!"

"What on earth is this absorption stone? It initiated such a peculiar celestial gene!

Ding Hao couldn't understand. Thus, he stopped thinking about it. He took the Innate Stage Measuring Jade Talisman that Min Qingqiu gave him. 

"The Innate Stage Measuring Jade Talisman has red, pink, orange, yellow, and green— five stages. Now my mental strength, meridian, and constitution are all in red: the lowest stage!"

"Although I have double celestial genes, I can't let go of it!"

"I must constantly awaken the Blaze Beast and maintain my mental strength, meridian, and constitution at the highest stage!"

"At the same time, I must absorb a great amount of spiritual energy in order to break down the yuandan and achieve a higher realm!"

Ding Hao sensed that he was short of time.

He had six months before the metropolitan examination arrived. He needed to improve on his mental strength, meridian, and constitution, and he had to break down the yuandan. He also needed to spend some time practicing the Nine Layers Blazing Palm!

The key to cultivating all that was spiritual energy!

He needed medicinal pills to increase his spiritual energy!

And he needed taels of silver to buy the medicinal pills!
