Chapter 542: The Human Emperor Jiang’s Edition of the Beast-Taming Immortal Scripture
Yu Xiaomeng nervously recited the oral formula she had comprehended to Shuangji.
“Demonstrate it yourself.”
Yu Xiaomeng performed some of the Mermen Tribe’s supernatural abilities, then practiced some fist and foot techniques. She discovered her control over her body was increasing, and correspondingly, the power of her supernatural abilities and close combat was enhancing.
Shuangji nodded.
“Not bad. Although still immature, it already possesses a trace of the divine wonder of the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture. You have good talent for cultivating this immortal scripture. You’re the Mermen Tribe Princess, right? I saw you when I was a guest with the Mermen Tribe, though you were very young then and probably don’t remember me.”
“I actually suggested to your mother back then that you should get out more. It seems she took my advice.”
“You passed.”
Yu Xiaomeng jumped for joy.
Li Jiaojiao also recited her oral formula.
“Demonstrate it yourself.”
Li Jiaojiao’s situation was similar to Yu Xiaomeng’s – both had enhanced their body control capabilities and combat power.
“Also quite good. You’re from the Flood Dragon Clan, yet your bloodline is continuously transforming toward that of true dragons. Among all dragon subspecies, your talent is exceptionally rare, and this talent is reflected in the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture you’ve comprehended.”
“You passed too.”
Li Jiaojiao leaped joyfully, deliberately jumping two inches higher than Yu Xiaomeng.
The two girls showed signs of starting another fight, just as Seven Kill Daozi stepped forward and recited the oral formula he had comprehended.
Passing the third test would mean becoming a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, which Seven Kill Daozi absolutely dared not do.
He had intentionally comprehended the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture as something completely unrelated to beast taming.
Seven Kill Daozi looked at Shuangji with anticipation, waiting for her to announce his failure.
“Your technique is quite interesting.”
“Huh?” Seven Kill Daozi felt something was amiss.
The Double Pupils continuously examined Seven Kill Daozi’s version of the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture: “You should be a sword cultivator with unique insights in the swordpath field, attempting to connect the Path of Sentient Sword and the Path of Unsentient Sword, correct?”
“You also know of the Seven Kill Stele, integrating the baleful energy from the Seven Kill Stele into the immortal scripture. Although there are still many imperfections, it’s highly creative!”
“These eyes of mine can analyze techniques. Any technique can be broken down into simple, understandable forms for rapid learning. My eyes can also deduce the effects of techniques.”
“Although not as powerful as the Zhou Emperor’s Double Pupils, my bicolor eyes are considered rare even in the Immortal Realm.”
“You may enter my Beast Taming…”
“Wait, wait.” Seven Kill Daozi hurriedly interrupted Shuangji, “My technique has absolutely nothing to do with beast taming!”
“How could it not be related?” Shuangji asked with a meaningful smile.
“What race is Yu Xiaomeng?”
“Mermen Tribe.”
“What’s your relationship with Yu Xiaomeng?”
“Boyfriend and girlfriend.”
“What race is Li Jiaojiao?”
“Flood Dragon Clan.”
“What’s your relationship with Li Jiaojiao?”
Before Seven Kill Daozi could answer, Li Jiaojiao rushed to respond: “Boyfriend and girlfriend relationship!”
Shuangji clapped her hands together, then spread them open: “You see? You’re the boyfriend of two demon tribes. The key to beast taming lies in fighting alongside demon tribes.”
“This requires establishing an intimate, seamless relationship with demon tribes. Your kind of intimate relationship is rare even in the Beast Taming Sect.”
“And perhaps you haven’t realized it, but the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture you comprehended can be applied to enhance your two girlfriends.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Seven Kill Daozi was half-convinced and half-doubting. He operated the rudimentary Beast Taming Immortal Scripture, placing both hands on the backs of Yu Xiaomeng and Li Jiaojiao.
The two women discovered a faint sword intent circulating within their bodies.
They often saw Seven Kill Daozi perform sword techniques but were frustrated they couldn’t learn them. Never did they imagine they would now possess sword intent themselves.
The sword intent was minimal, just a trace, but enough to explain some issues.
“Casually perform one supernatural ability,” Shuangji said from the side.
The two women instinctively performed water-attribute supernatural abilities, shooting out water columns.
These water columns carried a trace of sword intent.
Shuangji then called over another demon tribe member. When Seven Kill Daozi placed his hand on this demon tribe member, no sword intent generated within them.
“This…”
“See? This is the effect of the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture you created.”
“You’re naturally suited for our Beast Taming Sect. Come to our sect, and my husband will accept you as a Personal Disciple.” Without allowing further discussion, Shuangji enrolled Seven Kill Daozi into the Beast Taming Sect.
Seven Kill Daozi felt like killing himself.
He didn’t dare imagine how the Sword Sovereign would react upon learning about this.
“Song Li, tell me about the technique you comprehended.”
Shuangji said casually, somewhat skeptical of Song Li. Others had meditated for several hours, continuously contemplating, while Song Li only spent half an hour before ending his contemplation, wandering around, even extending his finger for the young immortal peacock to peck.
What good technique could be written in just half an hour?
“Alright.”
The more Shuangji listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She discovered she couldn’t understand what the other was saying at all – it was like listening to incomprehensible mystical texts.
At first she could understand, but after momentarily losing focus, it was like missing two hours of class – completely unable to catch up.
“…Say it again.”
“Forget it, I’ll just write it down.” Jiang Li took out paper and brush, writing down the Jiang Li version of the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture.
“Your technique…”
Shuangji’s eyes brightened, operating at high speed as she deduced the technique Jiang Li had written.
The more she deduced, the more she discovered the technique was excessively profound. Her proud bicolor eyes provided no assistance whatsoever.
Most crucially, the initial section of this technique shared similar divine intent with the original Beast Taming Immortal Scripture, but was simpler and easier to understand.
The latter content she completely couldn’t comprehend.
“Introduce the immortal scripture you wrote.”
“My Beast Taming Immortal Scripture has numerous wonderful uses. I’ll just mention the main functions.”
“This immortal scripture can command all things, divided into minor achievement, intermediate achievement, and major achievement stages. The key lies in your spiritual power – the stronger your spiritual power, the greater things you can command. Even if the opponent is a major level higher than you, if your spiritual power is stronger, you can still control them.”
“Minor achievement allows control over your own body or the bodies of allied demon tribes.”
“Intermediate achievement allows control over the opponent’s body, manipulating them at will.”
“Major achievement allows control over the entire world. When worlds move irregularly through the void, using this technique can alter their direction of movement.”
Shuangji felt the other was simply boasting wildly, writing incomprehensible things just to intimidate people.
“Then demonstrate the technique you comprehended. Use full power, don’t hold back.”
“Full power? I’m afraid I might not control the power properly with full power?” Jiang Li thought he might have misheard.
“Don’t worry, with me here, I can handle any consequences no matter how serious.”
With Shuangji’s guarantee, Jiang Li felt reassured.
“Let’s skip minor achievement – it’s not very interesting. I’ll directly demonstrate intermediate achievement for you.”
Jiang Li made no movements, simply gazing quietly at Shuangji. Immediately, Shuangji discovered her body was completely beyond her control – raising hands, blinking eyes, walking.
She exerted all her strength to resist, but it was useless.
Cold sweat dripped down Shuangji’s forehead. These actions seemed simple, but in actual combat, they would be fatal blows.
“This is major achievement.”
Jiang Li looked up at the sky without any other movement. Yet the starry sky above began moving at high speed, with all the stars turning into meteors streaking across the sky. Instantly, the Nine Provinces experienced transitions from day to night, then night to day again.
The speed was so fast it seemed like an illusion.
If someone were observing the Nine Provinces World from the void, they would discover the Nine Provinces Continent hadn’t moved even slightly. With the Nine Provinces Continent as the center, the entire world’s starry sky was rotating around the continent.
After a complete rotation, the stars returned to their original positions.
This was truly the phenomenon of stars shifting across the heavens.
