Chapter 289: A Peculiar Celestial Combat Technique!
Upon hearing Shengling's words, everyone's hearts started to race. Some even looked at that black stone with bated breath.
Beneath its ordinary appearance was a combat technique feared and sought after by countless people on the Dou Qi continent.
A celestial combat technique!
Xiao Ze was stunned when he heard Shengling's words.
"Shengling, weren't the previous gifts the Youming Water and the glass pearl?"
Shengling nodded naturally. "Yes, those are thank-you gifts that I worked hard to condense for you."
"Then, this celestial combat technique?"
"It's what I promised you before. Both things are not mutually exclusive. Xiao Ze, your help has been immense."
"The Youming Water and the glass pearl are my thanks, and now I am fulfilling my promise."
Hearing this, Xiao Ze was puzzled. He thought Shengling had condensed the Youming Water and the glass pearl because he couldn't fulfill his previous promise.
He never expected Shengling to consider the two things separately!
The others, upon hearing Shengling's words, were not only stunned but also felt a deep envy towards Xiao Ze, an envy that bordered on jealousy.
The treasures that Shengling had condensed were already extraordinary, and now Xiao Ze would receive a celestial combat technique.
Adding the high-level treasures found in the ancient ruins, Xiao Ze's gains were unparalleled.
Probably, the combined rewards of all the explorers of the ancient ruins didn't compare to Xiao Ze's!
Xun'er, upon hearing Shengling's words, couldn't help but slightly open her lips. Shengling's generosity left her incredulous.
"Shengling, although I did help, what you offer is too valuable, I..."
Seeing the hesitation on Xiao Ze's face, Shengling showed a nostalgic expression. "Xiao Ze, don't rush to refuse. You have a connection with Han Hai Shengzhe, you've even met him."
"This celestial combat technique, I can't use it. It doesn't have much value in my hands. Since you have that connection, consider it his legacy."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze remembered his encounter with Dou Sheng Han Hai in the Sea Spirit Realm and nodded.
Seeing Xiao Ze accept, Shengling smiled joyfully.
"Then, transmit the celestial combat technique here. I'll protect you."
"Shengling, is it dangerous to practice this technique?" asked Xun'er upon hearing that protection was needed.
Shengling nodded. "Yes, it can be. Celestial combat techniques are not easy to master, and the Annihilation Flow is peculiar. You need to communicate with the stone."
"Dou Sheng Han Hai only briefly mentioned this without giving details. For Xiao Ze's safety, it's best to perform the transmission here."
Hearing this, Xun'er nodded hesitantly. Xiao Ze patted her shoulder lightly.
"Don't worry. As long as the technique is practicable, I'll master it."
With Xiao Ze's confidence, Xun'er smiled, remembering his talent, and nodded firmly.
"By the way, Shengling, are these combat techniques also mine?"
Xiao Ze suddenly asked, and Shengling, after a brief moment, looked at Xun'er with a smile, nodding.
Xiao Ze chose half of the techniques and handed them to Xun'er.
"These should be useful to you."
Xun'er, feeling the powerful techniques and skills in her hands, showed doubt, but Xiao Ze interrupted by placing his hand on her head.
"Accept them. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I haven't prepared anything for you. Besides, we've always done this."
Remembering their days at Canaan Academy, Xun'er nodded shyly. Xiao Ze whispered, "Besides, this doesn't compare to the Imprints Empire, does it?"
Feeling the warmth of his words, Xun'er's ears turned red. She nodded.
The two elders of the Gu tribe, although they could hear, stayed aside, respecting the privacy between Xiao Ze and Xun'er.
The Great Elder rolled his eyes, uncomfortable with the closeness of the young ones. Shengling, on the other hand, watched with interest.
Having lived many years, Shengling had been cared for by Saint Han Hai and then sealed herself. She had little contact with others, so she found these exchanges fascinating.
Xun'er, feeling Shengling's gaze, encouraged Xiao Ze. "Xiao Ze, go receive the celestial technique."
Xiao Ze turned to Shengling with an apologetic smile. "Sorry for making you wait."
"No problem, I enjoy watching this."
Xiao Ze, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head. Shengling's sincerity was hard to handle.
Shengling placed the stone on a platform. Xiao Ze sat in front of it, observing the ancient and worn stone.
The stone had no inscriptions, only a river.
It was the same illusory river he had seen over the head of the Dou Sheng skeleton!
Following Shengling's instructions, Xiao Ze placed his hand on the stone, using his body as a medium and his soul as a guide to communicate with the stone.
He closed his eyes, and upon touching the stone, he felt a slight dampness. His spiritual power extended from his palm to the stone.
Over time, the river on the stone began to fade, and part of his spiritual power was carried into the infinite void.
This did not affect his soul, as his soul was protected by the Source Tree.
In the void, his spiritual power turned into an identical figure to him. Before him was an endless river.
The river emitted a will that communicated with his spiritual figure.
"With the soul as a contract, invoke the infinite river, help annihilate enemies. The dead, body and soul, will belong to the infinite river."
