Chapter 49 - Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet

The Supreme Profound Hall, is used by the Blue Wind Profound Palace to store all sorts of profound arts and profound techniques, accumulated by the Blue Wind Profound Palace over the course of several thousand years.

The Supreme Profound Hall existed in the Inner Palace, but a transmission formation was set up inside, so anyone from the Outer, Middle, and Inner Palaces could enter.

It was just that Outer Palace disciples could only enter the first floor, Middle Palace disciples could only enter the first two floors and only Inner Palace disciples were allowed to freely enter the third floor. The higher the floor, the higher the grade of the profound arts and profound techniques stored inside.

After passing the gatekeeper elder's imprint inspection, Jean followed Sikong Du and directly arrived at the third floor.

This place was a field of silence, flowing with a mysterious and thick aura of profound energy. At first glance, everything in his line of sight was filled with all sorts of jade tablets and jade scrolls with inscriptions of profound arts and techniques.

Sikong Du: Inner Palace disciples may visit the Supreme Profound Hall once every two months, and select up to two profound techniques or profound arts. And within one month, no matter whether or not you fully comprehend it, you must return it.

Jean: Alright, I will check some of them…

[Later]

Jean: 'My disappointment is immeasurable.'

Sikong Du: So, Jean, anything that fancied you?

Jean: No.

Sikong Du: *Cough* *Cough* What?!

Jean's answer surprised Sikong Du, who almost choked on his saliva, but Jean just shrugged.

Sikong Du: *Sigh* Alright…

Blue Wind Profound Palace naturally wasn't stingy with their inner disciple's living quarters. When Jean saw the house in front of him, he couldn't but be a little shocked in his heart.

The house was unexpectedly spacious and even came with a matching elegant courtyard. All the living facilities were readily available inside, even the beddings were made from fine silk.

Sikong Du: This is your living quarters. I live in courtyard number 41; if you need anything, you can come and find me anytime. Also, your profound gathering room number in the Profound Gathering Tower is 73.

Your body had been implanted with the corresponding Profound Imprint, and you are also the only one who is able to enter, so you may cultivate there anytime without worry.

Furthermore, don't forget to head to the Inner Palace's Profound Pellet Pavilion every seven days to pick up ten medium Profound Recovering Pellets, three Bone Quenching Pellets, and two small Heaven Returning Pellets.

Also, if you happen to encounter other Inner Palace Disciples in this Inner Palace, absolutely do not instigate any conflicts; even if you may be stronger than them, some of them have a high political status.

The Profound Palace doesn't have any restraints towards the freedom of Inner Palace disciples. You can freely move about in the Outer, Middle and Inner Palaces, and may also freely leave the Profound Palace at any time… If you wish to waste the cultivation time in the Inner Palace.

After saying that, Sikong Du didn't had a reason to stay and left Jean on his devices.

When he was far enough, the first thing he did was summoning the Overlord's Colossal Sword, which already sunk down within his hands, however, he was still able to hold it up, even if with trembling hands…

1 second…

2 seconds…

3 seconds…

4 seconds… Oof.

The sword fell down, making Jean pant.

Jasmine: Why did you pick this heavy sword? Is it really just because that it is of a high-grade?

Jean: Which reason you want to hear? The idiotic one or the personal one?

Jasmine: Humor me. What is the idiotic one?

Jean: It's cool.

Jean: I am afraid of death… So I want a heavy sword, that is used to protect, to defend me and whoever stands behind me… I felt things that no one should feel, and experienced things that one could never hope to experience in their lifetime, 3 times were enough, i don't want a 4th…

I like to risk, using extreme methods to cultivate faster, weird techniques to set up good foundations, strange plans to survive against someone stronger than me.

But even I am not stupid enough to throw myself in my own grave without a good reason. I want to pick the heavy sword to raise my and everyone's chances of survival against a calamity.

Besides, if I can use the Heavy Sword as if it was a light sword then what could possibly kill me or the ones behind me?

Jasmine: ...The reason why you selected the heavy sword… is exactly the same… as brother's…

Jean: You had a brother?

Jasmine: ...Yeah…

Jean: Mm… So the reason is because a heavy sword is cool?

Jasmine: NO, you idiot! It's because he want to protect the people that were important for him! In the very beginning, brother's weapon of choice, was also the light sword. After, he put down the light sword and picked up the heavy sword, because brother said…

"The heavy sword, is a weapon for slaughter, an overbearing weapon, but even more so a weapon for protection; he wanted to use the heavy sword to protect me, protect mother, and protect our homeland…"

Jean: 'I have many dark jokes about his death, but I doubt I will survive after saying one of them…'

Jasmine: In order to train with the heavy sword, brother took a great risk to cultivate the forbidden book Great Way of the Buddha, and after experiencing many untold hardships, he found the Heavenly Wolf Sirius' legacy, and obtained the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome.

Afterwards, with great perseverance, brother successfully completely cultivated the Great Way of the Buddha and Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome. When he carried the heavy sword on the battlefield, with only one swing of the sword, tens of thousands of soldiers would be completely eradicated.

Jean: *Whistle*

Jasmine: At that time, what I liked to do most was watch the image of brother brandishing the heavy sword on the battlefield; brother was the most handsome, the most powerful, and he gave me and mother an indescribable feeling of safety and reliance.

If brother was there, even if the sky was falling, we didn't need to be afraid even a bit, because brother would use his heavy sword, and always protect us, the ones behind him.

Jean: Well… He must be someone incredible for you to describe him that way…

Jasmine: ...You, are you really going to continue using the heavy sword in the future?

Jean: This and my Assault Kebab. I have a Perfect Body, which gave me 2 times more power than a normal person, not only that, but I have the Evil God's Divine Veins, and the Sternritter Calendar.

Jasmine: Good… Then, starting from today, I will teach you the Great Way of the Buddha!

Jean: Ah, ok-Wait what?

Jasmine: The reason it is known as the Great Way of the Buddha, is because it is just like the Evil God Arts in your body; a divine Profound Art that belonged to a True God of the Primordial Era! It came from a primordial true god once called the 'Rage God'.

What's different is that the Evil God Arts exists in the profound veins and do not need to be cultivated but the Great Way of the Buddha affects your blood, meridians, muscles, skin, and hair…

And actually has not even the slightest of relationships with profound veins or even profound strength, maybe you can even strengthen your Perfect Body.

Jean: ...A profound art made only for the body… Then why call it "Profound"?

Jasmine: Don't ask me. After the death of the primordial true god, even though no one knew how the Great Way of the Buddha had been circulated, it has still become a forbidden existence. Since it is a divine profound art, it simply cannot be cultivated by humans.

Over the course of countless years, the Great Way of the Buddha has passed through many hands; an uncountable number of peerless experts who relied on their own profound strength to reach the pinnacle of existence, have ultimately exploded to death because of their attempts to forcefully cultivate the Great Way of the Buddha.

The strength of gods, is not something mortals can withstand.

Jean: Holy crap! Do you want to kill me?! I just told you I won't jump in my grave and the first thing you do is wishing for me to explode?!

Jasmine: If it would have killed you then I would not have suggested it. Since you have traces of a Primordial True God, you will be safe, besides, your Perfect Body and "Compulsion" might help you doing things faster.

If you were to successfully cultivate the first stage of the Great Way of the Buddha, under the condition of no increase in profound energy at all, it could increase your arm strength by 1500 kilos!

Jean: 'Thanks god there isn't any retard unit… Wait…' Say what?

Jasmine: The second stage, will be able to increase your arm strength by four thousand kilos; and the third stage, ten thousand kilos…. Just the first stage, would be enough for you! If you reach the second stage, wielding this heavy sword in your hands would be no different than a light sword in an ordinary profound practitioner's hands.

Also, even if you don't use the heavy sword; just with the addition of arm strength, and without activating Evil Soul, there will be simply be no one who can be your match within the same rank. With the support of Evil Soul, it'll also be enough to defeat opponents at the 7th Spirit Profound Realm at your current level!

Jean: Hey, stop it. My erection can get only this big.

Jasmine: ...Pervert…

Jean: Just… Just tell me what I need to do.

Jasmine: I will start only if you promise something to me… Never give up the way of the heavy sword and don't forget the reason that you chosen it.

Jean: ...Heh, yes!

Jasmine: Alright, we will start tomorrow.

Jean: Huh?!

Jasmine: It's almost midnight.

Jean's eyebrows furrowed and checked his watch.

[23:21]

[19/5/1995]

[R: "Roar"]

Jean: Oh… You are right… Well, good night Jasmine… Now that I think about it, you don't have any bed, do you?

Jasmine: I… I don't need one…

Jean: Then I'll give you the guest's bed.

Jasmine: What…?

Jean entered his house and reached the guest's room, before he put the bed in the Sky Poison Pearl.

Jasmine: ...Thanks…

Jean: It's nothing, it must be pretty tiring sleeping with just a blanket.

Then he picked up the Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet, after memorizing it perfectly, he gulped it down, then he went to the bed.

As the Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet entered his body, Jean immediately felt a surge of vigorous stream of energy rush out from his ċhėst; it flowed towards all his veins and meridians in his body. A part of it directly rushed toward his head, and dazzled his sight.

So he just closed his eyes and slept while the medicinal energy slowly began to be ȧssimilated without any guidance.
