Chapter 286 - 284 Strike first to gain the upper hand_1
Duge ignored Luo Fan and steered the topic back to Sheng Wenhua, "The Three Pure Hall’s techniques, synthesized from the strengths of various families, have they left behind any esoteric manuals or the like?"
Following the usual story patterns, defeated heroes often leave behind a large fortune or secret manuals, waiting for their descendants or those fated individuals who accidentally discover these manuals to rise again, inherit their mantle, and once more cause a storm in the cultivation world.
"I don’t know about that," said Zhang Ziqing, "It’s a very ancient matter now, and the legends that have been passed down in our sect are just that many.
But over a thousand years have passed, and the Dao cultivation world has been at peace. Even the last person who went into seclusion hasn’t stirred up trouble, so it’s very likely that no useful secret manuals were left behind."
"I’ve heard my master analyze the reasons," Xie Zhong said, "The cultivation techniques of the various sects have been handed down for thousands of years and verified by countless people. Following the proper steps in cultivation, there’s basically no chance for errors, but the forced integration of the strengths of all families by Sheng Wenhua and others, hastily combined in just a few years, inevitably has many flaws.
Cultivation is never a trivial matter, one wrong step can lead to total failure. It’s very likely that those who practiced the Three Pure Hall techniques ultimately all ended up crippled, and thus it’s normal that the techniques did not spread."
Crippled, huh?
Duge pondered.
Qing Song seemed to think of something and quickly explained, "Little Junior Brother, I didn’t mean to harm you. The task Sheng Wenhua failed at, you may not necessarily fail. After all, you just said yourself, the Heavenly Demon has an extraordinary ability to recover.
Even if there’s a conflict between techniques, you can recover in an instant, and if you practice the wrong technique, you can adjust it at any time. If there’s anyone in this world who can synthesize the strengths of various families, it has to be you, Little Junior Brother."
"Big Brother Qing Song, I didn’t blame you," Duge said with a smile, "Actually, even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I was planning on doing just that. It’s not for myself, but for all the brothers who have placed their trust in me.
My only goal is to eliminate the Heavenly Demons from the world. But if I can deduce a technique that integrates the strengths of various families, that would be a true benefit to everyone.
