Xiao Han went into seclusion to cultivate the Extinguishing Heaven Decimating Earth Mental Technique.
A technique that specialized in tempering one's mental power was extremely rare. Even in the Immortal World, it was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.
It could be said that Xiao Han had stumbled upon a treasure by accident!
This mental technique had a total of 28 sets of mental finger techniques. Xiao Han had reached the sixth set of mental finger techniques and was currently fiercely practicing the seventh set.
Xiao Han's hands moved like butterflies. All sorts of exquisite hand gestures and unimaginable movements combined to form a complete set of mental finger techniques.
Moreover, during the process of practicing this set of mental finger techniques, the mental power within Xiao Han's boundless sea of consciousness was constantly strengthening and increasing the amount of mental power.
The gaseous mental power became denser and denser like the morning mist!
However, the seventh set of mental finger techniques was too complicated and profound. When Xiao Han was practicing, he only felt that it was incomparably jerky. There were many minute movements that he was unable to master, resulting in many broken points.
Moreover, with Xiao Han's current mental power, it seemed that it was not enough to perfectly control the seventh set of mental finger techniques.
During the process of practicing this mental finger technique, Xiao Han's mental power felt as if it was being squeezed out and was close to being overdrawn. This caused Xiao Han to have no choice but to stop every time he reached a broken point. His mind was blank, his body was weak, and he was panting like an ox …
"Damn it … the cultivation of mental power is really not that easy …" Xiao Han's face was pale. He simply laid down and panted heavily.
"This seventh set of mental finger techniques has a total of 108 subtle hand gestures. I am unable to perfectly practice it in one go … There will be 28 broken points in the middle …"
108 hand gestures and he had to pause 28 times in the middle!
"Damn it!
This young master doesn't believe that I can't practice this seventh set of mental finger techniques!
Continue practicing!
If I don't practice the seventh set of mental finger techniques, this young master will not come out! "Xiao Han was practically gnashing his teeth!
Just like that …
One day and one night passed.
"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~ There are only 17 broken points left!
There is progress!
Do your best! "
… …
Another day passed.
"There are still 11 broken points left!
Hahahaha!
I am close to success! "
… …
The third day passed.
"There are only 4 broken points left!"
… … …
The full moon hung high in the sky.
A celestial appearance was revealed.
Lan Xi Rong and Jing Yanxue stood guard outside a wooden pavilion with anxious and worried expressions.
"What's going on? Senior Sister Xi Rong, do you think … Do you think Uncle … Did something happen to him? He … He has already been in seclusion for three days and three nights and hasn't come out …" Jing Yanxue asked Lan Xi Rong with a sobbing tone.
"Yanxue, don't … don't scare me … Seclusion, it's just seclusion.
The uncle was so valiant, he definitely wouldn't be able to come out of seclusion in a short period of time.
Perhaps, he is comprehending some kind of divine technique or absolute art … Once he comes out of seclusion, he will be invincible under the heavens … "Lan Xirong consoled.
However, she seemed to be in a trance.
He paused for a moment.
"Let's report this matter to the Sect Master …"
… …
The fourth day!
See!
Xiao Han's hands moved at lightning speed, dragging out a series of afterimages. If someone were to see Xiao Han's hand speed and gestures, they would definitely be dazzled.
As Xiao Han's hand gestures changed constantly, strands of sparkling and translucent Buddhist light emerged from Xiao Han's five fingers and danced non-stop.
Countless strands of Glazed Buddhist light drilled into Xiao Han's forehead like rivers flowing into the sea.
Xiao Han's entire head emitted a pure and holy halo.
That was a halo formed when one's mental power reached a certain degree of density.
Suddenly!
"Done!"
Xiao Han's hands formed the final gesture of the seventh spiritual finger technique!
There wasn't a single break in between!
It was done in one go!
Like moving clouds and flowing water!
When the conditions were right, success was achieved!
Everything was logical!
The seventh spiritual finger technique was perfectly performed!
There was no delay!
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Following the completion of the seventh spiritual finger technique, Xiao Han's brain region burst out with a throbbing that went deep into his spinal cord and expanded!
In his sea of consciousness, the volume of the gaseous mental power seemed to have increased by a large circle!
Moreover, the density of his mental power had increased!
This ball of gaseous spiritual energy seemed to be showing signs of liquefying!
Xiao Han's mental power was strengthened and the amount of mental power increased!
Now, Xiao Han activated his life saber qi and slashed out. The volume of the saber qi was as thick as a water bucket and was a thousand meters long. It was enough to instantly kill most of the ancient giants!
Without using demonic techniques or true qi, he could directly use his mental power to activate his life saber qi and kill an ancient giant!
Without leaving a trace!
However, Xiao Han could only use this life saber qi a few times now.
After using it, the consumption of mental power would be more severe than the consumption of his flesh shell and true qi.
Thus, Xiao Han wouldn't use this life saber qi often. He would keep it as his trump card. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xiao Han wouldn't use it.
Xiao Han opened his eyes, and a bright light burst out from his pupils, mixed with the shadows of swords and sabers, layer upon layer. The entire secret chamber glowed with a kind of sunlight, blue sea, clear sky, and a supreme artistic conception of a cloudless ten thousand li!
Furthermore, in Xiao Han's vision, everything he saw was several times clearer than before. The entire world seemed to have more layers and the colors were more vivid.
"Mental power and soul have become stronger …" Xiao Han nodded his head in satisfaction.
"The seventh set of spiritual finger technique has been perfectly cultivated!
Now, I can try to forcefully enlighten Yan! "
Yes, as long as he cultivated the seventh set of spiritual finger technique, he would be able to enlighten ordinary cultivators of the Expanded Acupoint Realm.
… ….
Within the Despair Demon Compound …
At this moment, Yan Lang was in the courtyard, refining a pill with a medicinal cauldron.
That was the antidote that Xiao Han had ordered Yan Lang to refine for Shao Yunrong.
"Damn it!"
Yan Lang's face was gloomy as a deep hatred flashed across his eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched as his expression became extremely sinister. "I never thought that I, Yan Lang, a hero of a lifetime, would actually be taken advantage of by a brat who is still wet behind the ears. I actually had no choice but to become his slave!
This is truly a great shame and humiliation! "
"Yes, this brat is very powerful. At such a young age, he is already able to run amok in the Demon Metropolis. Almost no one below the Demon Emperor is a match for him … But … What kind of person is my Yan Lang?
The greatest alchemist in the myriad of worlds!
He was also a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years!
Even in the Demon Metropolis, those Demon Emperors were extremely respectful to me and treated me like a distinguished guest … That Xiao Han is powerful, but is he more powerful than the Ten Great Demon Emperors?
How despicable!
He captured me from the Demon Metropolis and even deprived me of my protective treasure. Now, my life and death are completely in his hands. As long as he throws me out and gets caught by those old fellows from the Demon Hero Tower, I will definitely suffer the torture of thousands of blades and be miserable beyond words. No, no, I, Yan Lang, cannot be toyed with by Xiao Han like this. I have to think of a way to deal with that guy. Right now, I have to pretend to be courteous to him and gain his trust. Then, I have to think of a way to refine some pills to control him. You want me, Yan Lang, to be your slave?
Humph!
One day, Xiao Han, you brat, will call me 'Master' instead … "
"Oh?
Master Yan Lang, what are you muttering to yourself here? "Xiao Han's spirit wave took form and arrived at the Despair Demon Compound. He looked at Yan Lang with a smile that was not a smile.
"Uh … This … Xiao … Master … I didn't say anything." Yan Lang quickly gathered his thoughts and squeezed out a fawning expression.
"I'm refining the antidote for Master."
"En." Xiao Han nodded and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
"Yan Lang, I see that you seem to be very dissatisfied with me."
Hearing this, the muscles at the corner of Yan Lang's eyes twitched slightly, and then he quickly said, "No, Master, Yan Lang does not dare to be dissatisfied. Yan Lang's life is in Master's hands.
"Is that so?
I don't think so!
Do you think that I don't know just because you're blabbering here?
Humph!
Yan Lang, you are arrogant and unruly. As expected, you have evil intentions and want to betray me!
My guess is correct. As the most outstanding alchemist in this plane, you once enjoyed boundless glory in the Demon Metropolis and sat on the throne. How could you sincerely become my, Xiao Han's, slave? "
Suddenly, Xiao Han let out a stern roar. His voice was ice-cold, as if it wanted to freeze the air in the Despair Demon Compound into ice. "It seems like you are stubborn. Since you can't be used by me, then I can only kill you!
However, I will not kill you. This time, when I returned to the Demon Hero Tower, I have already told the Tower Master about your matter. He hopes that I will hand you over to him to deal with!
Hahahahaha!
I will hand you over right now! "
"Ah!"
No!
No!
Master!
I was wrong!
Please don't hand me over to those sanctimonious Demon Heroes! "
Immediately, Xiao Han's scare caused Yan Lang's face to turn ashen. His entire body trembled as he let out a heart-wrenching scream!
"This is the time!"
Xiao Han wanted to deliberately scare Yan Lang, causing a flaw in Yan Lang's heart and brain, so that he could take advantage of it!
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
In an instant, all of Xiao Han's mental power turned into a flood dragon and forcefully rushed into Yan Lang's brain!
Xiao Han's mental power forcefully controlled Yan Lang's soul!
"Ah!
Ah!
No!!! "
In an instant, Yan Lang let out a sound like a pig being slaughtered and rolled on the ground. He was in extreme pain and felt as if his brain was about to melt!
At this moment, Xiao Han's mental power was controlling Yan Lang's soul inch by inch.
This was the so-called enlightenment.
This was forceful enlightenment!
However …
"This Yan Lang's soul is struggling and resisting. It is a little difficult for me to completely enlighten him.
Unfortunately, I have only mastered the seventh finger technique. Now, I only have 50% to 60% confidence to forcefully enlighten Yan Lang … Because Yan Lang is an expert in the Expanded Acupoint Realm, I have to master the eighth finger technique in order to be absolutely safe … However, the arrow is already on the bow and it has to be released. I have to enlighten him! "
"Yan Lang!
Do you want your soul to be destroyed?
Quickly open up your heart and soul!
You cannot resist!
Otherwise, your brain will explode and you will die! "Xiao Han's voice resounded in Yan Lang's brain.
"Ah!!!
Xiao Han!
You have the ambition of a wolf!
You actually want to plant a seed of faith in me so that I, Yan Lang, will forget myself and willingly become your slave ~ ~ ~ Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ Xiao Han, you are even scarier than the demon race ~ ~ ~ You are even more evil than the demon race ~ ~ ~ Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ "
"Damn it, you are quite stubborn …" Xiao Han became impatient. His mental power frantically wrapped around Yan Lang's soul and rubbed it continuously.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ No!
No!
Stop!
I!
I can't take it anymore!
Alright, alright, Xiao Han, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to open up my soul … Don't torture me anymore … "Yan Lang couldn't bear it anymore and roared.
Finally, Yan Lang completely handed over his heart and soul. He no longer struggled and resisted.
Following that, light and shadows appeared from Yan Lang's forehead and the back of his head at the same time. Among these light and shadows, there was a virtual image of Xiao Han who was sitting cross-legged and chanting.
"Yan Lang, you have committed grave sins in your life. You have betrayed the human race and are ungrateful. Why don't you let go of your obsession and guide my spirit into your soul to form a brand and purify you?
To wash away your sins? "
"Yes, yes, yes. I, Yan Lang, will accept master's purification." Yan Lang put his palms together and his face was filled with sincerity.
After ten breaths …
"Xiu ~ ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han's mental power came out from Yan Lang's forehead and condensed into a human figure again. He looked at Yan Lang with a smile.
"I have successfully branded my aura in Yan Lang's soul. Now, Yan Lang will never be able to betray me for the rest of his life.
He is willing to be my slave and puppet. Even if I ask him to commit suicide immediately, he will not hesitate.
This Extinguishing Heaven and Earth mental power is indeed miraculous. "
At this moment, Yan Lang suddenly stood up and sincerely worshiped Xiao Han. He then knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you, master, for helping Yan Lang get rid of this evil fate. At this moment, Yan Lang's heart is unprecedentedly calm. Everything that happened in the past is a sin.
Now, only by serving master with peace of mind and bravely striving to be the first can I relieve the guilt on my conscience. "
"En.
Not bad. "Xiao Han nodded and smiled.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with following me, Xiao Han.
Hmm, from now on, my two wives will learn the art of alchemy from you. Don't keep it to yourself. Teach them all your experience and skills. "
"Yes, master." Yan Lang's eyes flickered with an almost blind admiration towards Xiao Han!
