"Cultivating from the front leads to a demon barrier, but cultivating from the reverse leads to the righteous path!"
The voice of the Sword Soul echoed.
Hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.
The flames within him kept burning, and Yang Tian was on the verge of an internal explosion; he dared not be careless.
He quickly began cultivating this cultivation manual in the opposite direction.
When his spirit entered the manual, suddenly, a huge cultivation technique pattern appeared before him.
This time, Yang Tian started cultivating from the reverse side.
Crackle, snap.
A series of booming sounds echoed, and the spiritual breath within Yang Tian roiled incessantly, shattering his meridians continuously.
A tearing pain welled up.
Instinctively, Yang Tian asked, "Sword Soul, are you sure I'm not having an internal explosion?"
"You've already had an internal explosion, fallen into a demon barrier, and your meridians are on the verge of burning. Now your meridians shatter, your spiritual breath burns, it's destruction before restoration. Don't worry, focus on cultivating!"
The voice of the Sword Soul echoed.
"Okay."
Yang Tian dared not be negligent, concentrating his spirit, running his divine sense into the cultivation technique pattern, and began cultivating swiftly.
Crackle, snap.
His meridians shattered one by one, and the spiritual breath within him burned.
Yang Tian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face pale and bloodless, on the verge of collapse.
"What's going on? Are you self-destructing your cultivation?"
A mysterious figure stood up, looking at Yang Tian in confusion.
Logically, Yang Tian's internal explosion should have driven him mad, followed by death, but now Yang Tian was breaking his meridians himself?
Was he trying to commit suicide?
But quickly, the mysterious figure realized something, his face changed: "This isn't self-destruction of meridians, but destruction before restoration. Could it be you've already figured out how to break the demon barrier?"
Bang!
When Yang Tian finished cultivating the manual, the spiritual breath within him completely ignited.
All his meridians had shattered, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
But the next second, when he opened his eyes, the huge cultivation technique pattern covered him, at this moment, his soul merged into the pattern.
He kept cultivating.
One minute outside was a year within the pattern.
He didn't know how long he had been cultivating, only that spring had gone and winter had come. When he had cultivated for twelve cycles of spring and winter, he opened his eyes.
A golden holy qi flashed from his eyes.
In just that moment, all of Yang Tian's meridians had been completely restored.
And outside, only twelve minutes had passed.
Boom!
Yang Tian struck out with a punch, shattering the air around him violently.
Emerging slowly from the flames, Yang Tian.
"What's going on?"
The mysterious figure stood up, staring intently at Yang Tian.
He ran his divine sense towards Yang Tian, frowning, sensing a familiar aura from Yang Tian, this aura was from the Demon God Celestial Technique, wait a minute...
Could it be that Yang Tian had already mastered the Demon God Celestial Technique?
Surprise filled the mysterious figure's eyes.
What he taught Yang Tian was the Demon God Celestial Technique, starting from the front was a demonic technique, leading to an internal explosion.
Starting from the reverse was a divine technique.
But hadn't Yang Tian already had an internal explosion?
But now...
"Kid, you've mastered the Demon God Celestial Technique, but what puzzles me is, how did you break the demon barrier!" The mysterious figure stared intently at Yang Tian: "Weren't you already having an internal explosion before?"
"Is this the Demon God Celestial Technique?"
Yang Tian quietly gazed at his palm.
Cultivating from the front formed a demon barrier that almost cost him his life.
But cultivating from the reverse is a divine technique?
"Kid, it's fine if you don't want to say!"
The mysterious figure was displeased in his heart, but thinking over the past hundred years, countless people wanted to cultivate the Demon God Celestial Technique, and only he and Yang Tian succeeded, so he raised his voice: "Kid, you truly are a genius! Over these years, countless ancient martial artists have perished on the Demon God Celestial Technique, and even if they knew to cultivate from the reverse, they couldn't break the demon barrier!"
"Oh."
Yang Tian nodded slightly.
If that's the case, it should be the Sword Soul inside the Holy Sword assisting him.
"Senior, now that I've mastered it, you should keep your promise!"
Yang Tian said respectfully.
"Kid, you've mastered the Demon God Celestial Technique, are you not afraid I'll kill you now?"
The mysterious figure spoke in a deep voice.
"Oh? So senior wants to fight?"
Yang Tian looked at the mysterious figure, knowing well that having mastered the Demon God Celestial Technique, he might incite the mysterious figure's jealousy, leading to being killed by him.
But he wasn't afraid.
Because he had the Holy Sword, with a mysterious Sword Soul within it.
The mysterious figure's eyes were flickering, he eventually snorted: "Forget it, I acknowledge you're a talent, it would be a waste to kill you. The Demon God Celestial Technique has many mysteries; take your time exploring them. I only have one request, don't use the Demon God Celestial Technique against me in the future!"
Yang Tian nodded.
Although the mysterious figure and Wang Lingzhan were enemies, it didn't prevent Yang Tian from learning martial arts from him.
The mysterious figure handed the Demon God Celestial Technique to Yang Tian for cultivation, from another perspective, the mysterious figure was already Yang Tian's mentor.
"Senior, please rest assured, having cultivated your manual, I, Yang Tian, will never use it against you. In fact, you are already my mentor. If you don't mind, allow me to call you Master!"
Yang Tian knelt on one knee.
"Master?"
The mysterious man was taken aback, then laughed heartily: "Of course you can, from now on you can call me Master!"
"Thank you, Master, for the Demon God Celestial Technique!"
Yang Tian respectfully said.
"Hahaha..."
The mysterious man laughed, and the Pipa Blood Robe on him also began to vibrate, flames leaping continuously, revealing his aged face.
Looking at the Pipa Blood Robe on the mysterious man, an idea formed in Yang Tian's mind.
Didn't Sword Soul say that the Pipa Blood Robe on the mysterious man can be undone? If so, today I will help Master remove the Pipa Blood Robe.
This way, the enmity between Master and Wang Lingzhan can be resolved.
Additionally, I can obtain the Pipa Blood Robe!
After all, Sword Soul said that this Pipa Blood Robe is very valuable and can serve as Yang Tian's Defensive Holy Robe.
"Yang Tian, you're not wrong, this Pipa Blood Robe can serve as your Defensive Holy Robe!"
Sword Soul's voice echoed in Yang Tian's mind.
"What's its specific function?"
Yang Tian immediately asked.
"Its function is significant; the stronger you become, the more terrifying the Pipa Blood Robe becomes. As for you at your current stage, wearing the Pipa Blood Robe as a Defensive Holy Robe is like having an extra precious life!"
Sword Soul said.
"Is that so? That's wonderful!"
If true, that would indeed be wonderful.
Next, Yang Tian needs to find the Four Great Golden Spirit Guardians, and together with Ling Ying, restore the dynasty.
At the same time, he has to go to the Capital City to protect the Chen Family.
Along the way, various masters and formidable individuals will definitely be encountered, and the Pipa Blood Robe appearing is absolutely valuable to Yang Tian.
So Yang Tian raised his voice and said: "Master, the Pipa Blood Robe on you has been there for many years; it's time to remove it!"
"Why are you saying this? Do you think you can remove it?"
The mysterious man looked at Yang Tian coldly.
"I can indeed give it a try!"
Yang Tian responded.
"Nonsense, you, a mere child, think you can remove the Pipa Blood Robe from me? Laughable!" The mysterious man sneered repeatedly: "Even I have spent fifty years and have not been able to unravel this Pipa Blood Robe, and you, just a lad? Laughable!"
"Master, has this Pipa Blood Robe been on you for fifty years?"
Yang Tian asked.
"Fifty years ago, Wang Lingzhan placed this Pipa Blood Robe on me, and for these fifty years I've been longing for revenge, for him to taste my pain!"
The mysterious man said coldly.
"Master, I have one request!"
Yang Tian raised his voice.
"What request?"
The mysterious man's eyes revealed displeasure.
"If I can unravel the Pipa Blood Robe on you, please, Master, let go of the hatred towards Wang Lingzhan!"
Yang Tian raised his voice.
"Nonsense!"
The mysterious man snapped coldly, releasing a surge of Spiritual Breath from his body, forming a handprint that struck fiercely at Yang Tian.
Pang!
Yang Tian's figure flashed, swiftly retreating, he raised his voice: "Master, back then Wang Lingzhan locked the Pipa Blood Robe on you, now I can help you undo it!"
"You think you can undo it? Laughable! Fine, if you can unravel it, I'll let go of the hatred towards Wang Lingzhan!"
The mysterious man said coldly.
"Hmm."
Yang Tian nodded, stepping towards the mysterious man.
With a wave of his hand, a surge of Spiritual Breath flowed out.
With that, he struck at the Pipa Blood Robe on the mysterious man with a palm.
The mysterious man frowned but did not resist, letting Yang Tian's palm strike his Pipa Blood Robe.
Pa!
A thunderous sound erupted, and the Pipa Blood Robe surged with flames.
But in a moment, it returned to calm.
"For fifty years, I have tried to unravel the Pipa Blood Robe with no results, and you think you can undo it? Ridiculous!"
The mysterious man sneered coldly.
"We'll know after trying!"
Yang Tian didn't waste words and said to Sword Soul: "Sword Soul, we can start now!"
"The Pipa Blood Robe is a Spiritual Chamber; to unlock it, you must use your strong Spiritual Ability. I can only support you with Sword Breath now, whether it can be undone depends on you! However, I believe you can unravel it because your Spiritual Ability is strong; if not, I wouldn't have let you bind it with a blood oath!"
Sword Soul spoke, and a powerful Sword Breath surged out, pouring into Yang Tian's body.
Pong!
Yang Tian reached out his hand and pressed it against the Pipa Blood Robe on the mysterious man.
And then the Pipa Blood Robe on the mysterious man began to boil.
"Boy, stop trying; even I can't undo it, how could you? Wait..."
Suddenly, the mysterious man was shocked.
Pak!
In almost the next second, Yang Tian grabbed the Pipa Blood Robe and pulled it off.
"Master, it's done..."
Yang Tian held the Pipa Blood Robe, speaking respectfully.
"This..." The mysterious man's face turned pale, staring intently at Yang Tian.
"Master, this Pipa Blood Robe troubled you for fifty years. From now on, you can return to your original form! Rest assured; I will keep this Pipa Blood Robe safe, never letting it harm the world again!"
Yang Tian said respectfully.
Listening to Yang Tian repeatedly calling him "Master," at that moment, the mysterious man couldn't help but tremble and said: "Boy, how did you unravel the Pipa Blood Robe... Heavens, you're so incredible... It's not you calling me Master, but me calling you Master..."
