Chapter 393: Inheriting a Heavenly Skill! Departure
With the intense refining of the Origin Emperor Flame, the indestructible Dou Saint rib bones couldn't hold out for long. When Xiao Ze opened his eyes, he saw a unique dark golden liquid before him. This liquid seemed to have a mind of its own, morphing into various shapes in midair.
"So this is the Golden Spirit Essence? It can temper the palm and open tiny meridians in the hand, allowing the execution of the Great Heavenly Creation Palm," Xiao Ze remarked, his brow furrowing slightly as he pondered. How did the Creation Saint manage to perform the Great Heavenly Creation Palm with only bones?
After thinking it over, Xiao Ze concluded that as the creator of the Great Heavenly Creation Palm, the Creation Saint had mastered it to such an extent that even without meridians, he could still perform the skill. Xiao Ze dipped his fingers into the Golden Spirit Essence, and the dark golden liquid immediately covered his right hand.
However, unlike in the original story where Xiao Yan felt excruciating pain, Xiao Ze only felt a tingling sensation. His body was so strong that ordinary methods could hardly temper it anymore, and opening tiny meridians was not a problem; in fact, they were likely already there.
Xiao Ze clearly sensed that the hidden meridians in his hand were being strengthened by the Golden Spirit Essence. The increase in the diameter of the Origin Tree had provided Xiao Ze with comprehensive improvements, making learning meridian-dependent techniques much easier.
At the same time, Xiao Ze felt a strange force trying to influence his soul. Realizing it was the soul image left by the Creation Saint, he didn't resist. Otherwise, with his Heaven Realm soul strength, he could have easily suppressed it.
Allowing the force to influence him, Xiao Ze's eyes gleamed with a dark golden light, and his vision blurred. When he blinked, he found himself in a strange space.
"So this is the memory space of the Creation Saint? The inheritance of a heavenly skill is quite unique," Xiao Ze mused, looking at a figure standing with its back to him. The figure, although seemingly ordinary, was the core of this memory space.
A calm voice echoed through the space, and Xiao Ze focused on listening to the Creation Saint.
"...To learn the Great Heavenly Creation Palm, you must temper your palm and open new meridians..." "The Great Heavenly Creation Palm... possesses the power of creation... it is my life's work, remember it well..."
As the Creation Saint spoke, his figure gradually turned transparent, leaving behind a diagram of the human meridians. A dark golden energy flowed through the meridians, and Xiao Ze memorized the pathway instantly with his powerful soul.
After the demonstration, the Creation Saint gathered dark golden light in his hand, which surged and struck out like a storm. A black circle formed from his palm, expanding with lightning speed, faster than the Dou Saint skeleton had shown.
In an instant, the space shattered like glass, with black cracks appearing everywhere. As the memory neared its end, Xiao Ze bowed and said, "Thank you, Saint, for passing down this heavenly skill!"
The calm voice thundered in his mind, "Remember, I am the Creation Saint!" When Xiao Ze came to, he was back in the real world, out of the memory space.
"Even Dou Saint experts cannot withstand the passage of time. This soul image of the Creation Saint is likely his last trace in the world," Xiao Ze sighed, noticing a faint dark golden sheen on his right hand. Though the Golden Spirit Essence's effect wasn't significant on him, it left a mark.
Clenching his fist, the dark golden sheen faded into his palm. "It doesn't seem too difficult to replicate Golden Spirit Essence," he thought, recalling its properties. As its user, Xiao Ze quickly deduced its composition.
"I'll try making it later. If I can't, there are alternative formulas. There are many ways to temper the palm," he decided, knowing he could eventually perfect the formula with enough trials.
"With the abundance of herbs we acquired, I'll pass the Great Heavenly Creation Palm to them once I've made the essence. The Creation Saint likely hoped his skill would be widely used," Xiao Ze planned to teach the technique to Xiao Yixian and the others, knowing its heavenly power would be invaluable.
While he had few attribute-free techniques, and only one at the heavenly level, the Great Heavenly Creation Palm was an exception. He couldn't share the Ancient Clan's imperial seal technique without Xun Er's permission, and the apocalyptic flow technique was too dangerous to teach.
As the others finished refining the Dou Saint marrow, they saw Xiao Ze hovering above the pit and guessed he was learning the heavenly skill, so they didn't disturb him. Now that he was back, they approached him.
"Xiao Ze, did it go well?" Qing Lin asked curiously.
"Yes. Learning the Great Heavenly Creation Palm requires palm tempering. Once I replicate the tempering liquid, you can all try it," Xiao Ze said, smiling.
"Really?" Xiao Yixian asked, delighted. Who wouldn't want a heavenly skill?
The others also looked thrilled, having witnessed the technique's power.
"Alright, we've explored the Dou Saint's relic, completed everything. It's time to leave."
