Chapter 840: Half Ultimate

Chu Feng's eyes burned, and even touching his eyelids felt scorching. He was overcome with joy and excitement; he had truly coveted this Buddhist breathing technique for a long time.

He had experienced it before and knew its wonders well. When the great thunder rumbled, all his bones and internal organs vibrated simultaneously, his vital energy surged, purifying and nourishing his entire body. It offered endless benefits to evolvers.

The Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique was one of the first methods Chu Feng acquired. Back then, lightning striking his physical body stimulated his potential, allowing him to experience immense benefits.

Unfortunately, it was only an incomplete method, allowing him to train only up to the Chains realm, with no subsequent chapters.

Now, a complete Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique had appeared here. How could he not be excited?

The yellow-furred fox stepped forward and said, "Let me have a look. Hmm, as expected, this should be a technique from the Netherworld."

This somewhat dampened Chu Feng's enthusiasm.

The Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique represented ultimate strength, fierce and overbearing. Once activated, the thunderous sound within the body roared like a waterfall, truly unparalleled in its subtlety!

The yellow-furred fox chuckled, "What are you thinking? Do you really believe you could encounter one of the ultimate breathing techniques from the Yang Realm here?"

In the Yang Realm, Buddhist breathing techniques were hailed as ultimate and omnipotent. Ordinary people, after mastering a portion, could summon wind and rain, turn beans into soldiers, and command a region.

Not to mention a complete technique!

Buddhist breathing techniques were powerful enough to rank among the top few in the Yang Realm, shaking the universe and lasting eternally. They were known to everyone, everywhere.

"Don't even dream of getting a complete Buddhist breathing technique from the Yang Realm. That's something all the Heavenly Venerates envy, yearning for it but unable to obtain it."

The yellow-furred fox enlightened Chu Feng, telling him not to overthink it. Such a technique couldn't be obtained even by fate; the complete version could only be mastered by the highest-ranking core members of the Buddhist lineage.

This was because it held immense importance. Many Buddhist divine arts and ultimate attack methods were all derived from this breathing technique.

Mastering this technique was equivalent to mastering everything!

"Not to mention you, even my master is envious. He has studied it for many years, collecting many incomplete methods, but all to no avail. The Buddhist breathing technique is simply too profound and incredibly complex; it's a method developed by ultimate supreme powerhouses after evolving to their peak!"

The yellow-furred fox sighed, filled with boundless emotion.

It was already very strong, daring to call itself a Heavenly Venerate. How strong, then, must its master be?

Yet, even its master was envious, constantly thinking about the Buddhist breathing technique, trying every means to collect it, and diligently researching it for many years, but still failing.

What is an ultimate technique? This is it! It was so captivating that even the supreme great beings of the Yang Realm could not forget it, developing an obsession.

Chu Feng was speechless. He had been quite happy initially, but this half-petrified fox's chatter really dampened much of his enthusiasm.

Although he knew the old fox was speaking the truth, it still made Chu Feng sigh with regret.

It was obvious how this breathing technique came to be. Throughout history, people from the Netherworld Universe had entered the Land of Degradation, so the Vermilion Bird race naturally had a chance to obtain it.

Although the disciples of various sects had restrictions in their divine souls, preventing them from revealing their clan's highest secrets.

However, the entity within the Vermilion Bird Abyss, a being at the deity realm, surely had a way to unlock the restrictions in the soul light of the Buddhist core disciples.

This was because in the Netherworld Universe, the strongest of the Buddhist race could "Illuminate All Heavens," whereas the Vermilion Bird here had already "Attained Divinity"!

He had clearly obtained the Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique, but Chu Feng was not excited at all now. Everything pales in comparison. Originally, this was one of the top techniques in the Netherworld Universe, but compared to those in the Yang Realm, it fell far short.

"Don't be discouraged. The most powerful breathing techniques in the Yang Realm are unobtainable not just for you, but even for my master and some ancient great beings who have been sleeping underground for countless years. They can only watch enviously, so don't let your mind wander."

At this point, the yellow-furred fox meticulously examined the stone inscription, studying it carefully. Finally, it let out a soft exclamation and said, "There's something to this. It seems a Buddhist disciple accidentally entered the Netherworld back then and brought genuine scriptures of their supreme technique, not just a haphazard collection."

By the end, it was genuinely moved!

"What's wrong, senior? Is there anything unusual?" Chu Feng asked.

If he were content to stay in the Netherworld Universe and master the Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique, he would certainly be able to cultivate it to its extreme, gaining endless benefits.

However, ever since he learned about the Yang Realm and thought of going there one day, Chu Feng felt a bit unwilling, no longer content with Netherworld techniques.

Now, seeing the old fox reveal an unusual expression, he couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.

"This technique is formidable. The early stages have very few changes; I can restore them!" the yellow-furred fox said.

Back then, his master had been so envious of the Buddhist breathing technique at one point that his obsession ran deep. He collected countless incomplete methods, trying to piece them together.

At that time, the yellow-furred fox participated throughout the process, so it had an extremely thorough understanding of the Buddhist ultimate breathing technique.

Now, as it compared, it found that by combining what its master had collected with what was before its eyes, a large portion could be restored!

"Don't shout, let me study this!" The yellow-furred fox was very serious.

Even the old Vermilion Bird was surprised and suspicious, stepping aside to watch.

"I can restore quite a bit. It seems the Netherworld Universe is more valuable than we imagined. Combining it with the incomplete techniques my master collected, there's truly a surprise!"

The yellow-furred fox frankly stated that the techniques of the Netherworld Universe were originally full of Yang energy, but to adapt to the Netherworld, some parts were modified, making them more like Yin techniques.

However, the old fox could see the underlying structure, and the first half had changed very little, with most changes occurring in the later stages.

"From Awakening to Chains, to Free and Unfettered, then to Visualization... and finally to Saint, all can be restored!"

Awakening, Chains, Free and Unfettered, Visualization, Cloud-Eating, Shaping, Body of Gold, Sub-Saint, and Saint-level—these nine levels could all be reproduced, reflecting the original appearance of the Yang Realm breathing technique!

These nine levels constituted the upper volume of the Buddhist ultimate breathing technique!

Chu Feng's spirits instantly lifted. The upper volume of a supreme technique from the Yang Realm, which could be fully revealed, and he might have the good fortune to obtain it?!

"That's right, the upper volume!" The yellow-furred fox's expression was solemn.

"Excellent!" Chu Feng was overjoyed.

Finally, a Yang Realm technique was extracted, which the yellow-furred fox confirmed was flawless and absolutely the most complete upper volume of the Buddhist ultimate breathing technique!

Chu Feng committed it to memory. This was too precious, more important than anything else.

"Who would have thought that my master's efforts would find their fruition here, restoring the upper volume of the Buddhist breathing technique!" the yellow-furred fox exclaimed.

His master had collected so much without success, but unexpectedly, in this Land of Degradation, there was now a breakthrough.

At the same time, the yellow-furred fox cautioned Chu Feng that once he started cultivating, he must be extremely careful and only practice in deserted places; otherwise, he would definitely be hunted by the Buddhist clan of the Yang Realm.

Fortunately, there were many incomplete techniques in the world, all related to the Great Thunderous Sound. As long as Chu Feng was careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

As for openly practicing it, that was out of the question. Even the yellow-furred fox's master dared not act recklessly. Powerful as he was, a great being from the Yang Realm with astonishing background, he dared not forcibly capture core Buddhist disciples to explore the mysteries.

Otherwise, it would be an endless war, equivalent to declaring war on the Buddhist clan, a conflict that wouldn't end until one side was annihilated!

One can imagine how important breathing techniques were in the Yang Realm, treated with caution even by great beings!

"Unfortunately, little friend, you have already cultivated to the Body of Gold level. If you could start over and cultivate this Buddhist breathing technique from childhood, the benefits would be immense."

The yellow-furred fox sighed, saying that the Buddhist supreme breathing technique was exceptionally suitable for cultivating children, using thunderous Yang energy to cleanse internal organs, bone marrow, and so on. It was indescribably wonderful!

"If, furthermore, it were combined with early-stage breathing techniques of the Dao race, and both appeared in one child, that would truly be... unimaginable!"

The yellow-furred fox was envisioning that a person cultivated in this way would surely achieve unimaginable accomplishments in the future.

"Generally, the descendants of powerful families, heirs of god kings, and personal disciples of Heavenly Venerates use all sorts of natural treasures, exhausting rare wonders of heaven and earth for cultivation. This is how they shake the world and walk proudly. You are destined not to have such resources, but if the breathing technique is powerful and cultivated from childhood, it can compensate somewhat."

"I'm only fourteen, still very young and tender. See, I can still be saved. How can I reach the peak of strength?" Chu Feng asked with a shy expression.

"Get lost! You're over a hundred years old!" The yellow-furred fox said with a look of disdain.

"Damn, I forgot. A hundred years in this world, I've grown from a gracefully young, handsome boy to the prime of my golden youth. It's truly melancholic. Those beautiful, cherished, and memorable times are gone forever. Youth, just like that, slips through my fingers, quietly disappearing."

As a result, the yellow-furred fox and the old Vermilion Bird utterly disdained him!

Nearby, several fist-sized young Vermilion Birds, round and glowing fiery red, with large blinking eyes, chirped disdainfully at Chu Feng, mocking his pretense of youth!

"Little friend, I advise you, if you have the black talisman paper you mentioned, you should reincarnate, directly be reborn in the Yang Realm, and start over."

Furthermore, it stated that Chu Feng was good, but compared to true Yang Realm geniuses and the personal disciples of Heavenly Venerates, he was still quite lacking.

Since his emergence, this was the first time Chu Feng was considered inadequate. He was somewhat speechless. Ever since he embarked on the path of evolution, he had swept away all opponents and had never feared anyone of the same rank.

However, in the yellow-furred fox's eyes, this achievement was not even worth mentioning.

The yellow-furred fox frankly said that an evolver like Chu Feng was decent in a small corner, but would not suffice in a slightly larger, more prosperous area of the Yang Realm.

Furthermore, it emphasized that although Chu Feng's soul light had indeed cleansed most of the Yin energy, from the perspective of the Yang Realm, it was still not completely removed and was considered a Yin soul.

At the same time, it seriously informed Chu Feng that even if his soul light had been purified, his physical body was still in the Netherworld and had too many inherent flaws.

"The way you talk, I feel like a cripple, good for nothing, inferior to those little brats in the Yang Realm in every way? Believe it or not, when I go to the Yang Realm, I'll directly annihilate your master's personal disciple and cook him for dinner!"

Chu Feng was deeply hurt, truly provoked. He himself felt that he had no problems and was invincible, yet in the eyes of a character like the yellow-furred fox, he had too many flaws.

In particular, the yellow-furred fox repeatedly emphasized that Chu Feng came from an unconventional background and was too careless in his cultivation process, missing many important junctures.

"Perhaps my expectations are too high; I've been comparing you to the disciples of those old monsters, which makes you seem much inferior. But I haven't even brought up the personal disciples of true supreme great beings yet." The yellow-furred fox shook its head.

Chu Feng rolled his eyes at it, no longer wanting to speak to it!

What kind of being was this, looking at him like that? Since his debut, he had not met anyone who underestimated him so much; nine out of ten who defied him had been dealt with by him!

"Why do I feel like you're insisting I reincarnate?" Chu Feng asked suspiciously.

"Because the path you took before wasn't good enough, even full of errors, delaying many valuable opportunities. In fact, even I regret it. If I had the chance to start over, I would definitely correct the path I took back then, leaving no flaws!" The yellow-furred fox spoke with endless regret, sighing, with desolation and a sense of vicissitude in its eyes.

"Remember this: a wrong path has a profound impact. One wrong step, and you might not even become a god, let alone a god king or a Heavenly Venerate!"

"Alright then, senior, please impart all those experiences and the points to pay attention to!" Chu Feng said.

"It's fine to give them to you. If you embark on the path of reincarnation, these will be priceless secret transmissions. These experiences and methods cannot be exchanged for anything!" The yellow-furred fox said solemnly.

At the same time, it asked, "Are you sure you want to reincarnate? Since you have the talisman paper in your hand, you must not waste it!"

Chu Feng said, "Just pass them to me first. Whether I reincarnate into the Yang Realm is too early to say. But I have a son, and I will have daughters too. I can raise them from childhood, and then they'll become a group of Heavenly Venerates to wreak havoc in the Yang Realm!"

The yellow-furred fox rolled its eyes and said, "Boundless Heavenly Venerate, damn, do you think having sons and daughters means you can reach that level? Not to mention you, even those great beings wouldn't dare say they can definitely cultivate their offspring to that realm. Out of necessity, they all take disciples, choosing the best from billions of beings, creatures with great fortune."

Regardless, Chu Feng successfully managed to obtain the yellow-furred fox's lineage's methods and experiences. This could truly be called supreme experience!

These things were all summarized by the yellow-furred fox's master, representing the highest standard of disciple cultivation in the Yang Realm; they were invaluable methods!

Chu Feng's face grew darker the more he read. According to the yellow-furred fox's master's notes, he had missed many important junctures. However, even if he had known earlier, there would have been no way to attempt them, as a foundation needed to be built in a place with abundant Yang energy.

"Damn you!" Chu Feng cursed.

Finally, his destiny in this world had ended. Chu Feng decided it was time to return to the Netherworld and embark anew on his glorious path, his path to rise.
