Chapter 240: Chapter 196: Where the hell is my authority?!

Translator: 549690339

What’s going on?

Chen Sheng furrowed his brows.

Looking at the panel in front of him, he felt that something was increasingly wrong.

Usually, it only took a few seconds to upgrade his skills.

But now, he had been waiting for two minutes.

The upgrade still hadn’t arrived.

Looking at the flashing words on the panel.

Chen Sheng suddenly remembered that he had been mistaken for Xuanwu by the sheep-faced man in the Sealed Land.

Back then, he had asked the other party how they could be so sure that he wasn’t an impostor.

And the other party’s answer was:

Divine Beast Breathing Technique, can make one master Authority.

It seems that the same Authority can only be controlled by one person.

Chen Sheng wasn’t sure whether what the other party said was true or not.

After all, even the sheep-faced man himself had said that his understanding of the Four Saints came from some elders in the Holy Sect and was not necessarily accurate.

Therefore,

Chen Sheng didn’t take it too seriously.

But the anomaly on the panel now made him somewhat uncertain.

Could it be…what the sheep-faced man said was true?

As soon as this thought crossed his mind,

His brows knitted deeply.

In that case,

The Xuanwu of the Holy Sect might have broken through the fifth layer of Profound and True Martial Arts before him and obtained the Authority.

If he wanted to obtain Authority, wouldn’t he have to kill the Xuanwu of the Holy Sect first?

But he didn’t even know where the other party was…

Suddenly,

He noticed that the flashing words on the panel had stopped.

[Profound and True Martial Arts IvMax]

[Skill Points: 11]

Huh?

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Is this…the upgrade is finished?

Before he could react,

Boom!

Chen Sheng only felt as if something had exploded in his brain.

Next second.

His consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

With a splash,

Without the support of his strength,

His body instantly crashed onto the riverside.

China.

An underground cave somewhere.

Drip.

Drip.

The sound of water droplets falling on the ground echoed continuously.

The Xuanwu, wearing a large black robe, sat quietly on the ground.

In front of him,

One body after another lay horizontally on the ground, lifeless.

Opt Description: A deep blue pattern, like a liquid, was constantly flowing across his body surface.

The pattern radiated a deep blue light.

Along with Xuanwu’s breathing rhythm, the light sometimes became dazzling, sometimes weak.

“You really managed to do it, kid.”

Not far from Xuanwu,

A figure dressed in a black robe stood.

Under the hood,

A pair of clear yellow vertical pupils focused on Xuanwu.

The owner of the vertical pupils marveled.

The Profound and True Martial Arts practiced by Xuanwu were Divine Beast Breathing Techniques.

Besides using Breathing Techniques to polish their bodies and improve their realms, these Divine Beast Breathing Techniques also required a lot of time to cultivate.

The Power of Authority, which was the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules,

Could only be possessed by one person at a time.

Even if that person only held 1% of the Authority,

In this world, there could only be one master of this Power of Heaven and Earth.

Others, no matter how much they cultivated, could only reach the apex of affinity degree.

To these people, the Water Spirit was just a good friend.

Once they encountered the owner of the Power of Authority, the Water Spirit would completely abandon them and embrace the owner of the Authority.

However,

For top-notch Divine Beast Breathing Techniques like Profound and True Martial Arts, the process of obtaining Water Authority was not easy.

The control of the Water Authority required cultivators to gradually increase their affinity with the Water Spirit during the long cultivation process of the first four layers.

This process was called nurturing.

The cultivator’s body would gradually change in a direction that was suitable for possessing the Power of Authority.

The Water Spirit would constantly enter the cultivators’ bodies, transforming into power hidden within them, waiting for the day the Authority would be born.

Then, at the fifth layer of Profound and True Martial Arts, they would nurture the key and use it to open the door to mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth.

How much Authority one could obtain during the first opening of the door,

Depended on the cultivator’s affinity degree and the amount of the embryonic shape of the Power of Authority inside his body when breaking through the fifth layer.

This process was difficult to accelerate.

Some people cultivated quickly, but their affinity degree with the Water Spirit was low

Some cultivated slowly, but their talent in this area was extremely high. Like the other three Saints of the Holy Sect,

They were all peerless geniuses who could cultivate even when Tide Rising Period had not yet arrived.

They had plenty of time to cultivate their affinity degree with Qi and slowly increase the Power of Authority to their personal limit after perfecting their Divine Beast Breathing Technique.

Among the Four Saints, the one with the most Authority shares now was the Azure Dragon.

Vermilion Bird and White Tiger were next in line.

As for Xuan Wu,

It was just two years before the Tide Rising Period arrived that he joined the Holy Sect and was bestowed with Profound and True Martial Arts.

Even with his outstanding talent, it was only one year after joining the Holy Sect that he had already reached the fourth layer of Profound and True Martial Arts.

But the growth of the shares of Authority’s power couldn’t be obtained through cultivation.

so,

Xuanwu took another path.

He deliberately slowed down the cultivation of Profound and True Martial Arts and spread the Breathing Technique to some extremely talented martial arts practitioners through various channels.

By now,

Most of these people had already built a large degree of affinity with the Water Spirit.

What Xuanwu had to do,

Was to seize the nurturing Power of Authority within them before breaking through the fifth layer,

And then break through with one fell swoop..
