Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Master Turtle led Lin Feng to a desolate mountain in the northwest corner of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect. The peaks here were bare, and atop them were a few dilapidated palaces.

A few crows were cawing loudly on a withered tree.

"Master! Could this place be the Immortal Mountain of our lineage?" Lin Feng asked with a mournful face.

Within the Reincarnation Immortal Sect, lofty Immortal Mountains thick with majesty and authority towered into the clouds.

But here, a few small broken mountains composed a barren mountain range, and the few dilapidated palaces made Lin Feng doubt if they were about to collapse.

"That’s right! This is indeed our Immortal Mountain. Isn’t it a surprise?" Master Turtle said with a grin.

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised; he was depressed.

He sat on a rock and said, "Master, you’re not really going to make me cultivate that Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, are you? Those techniques have killed several of my senior brothers, and I don’t want to die."

"Don’t listen to that bunch of nonsense. The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is an extremely heaven-defying technique!" Master Turtle said with an open smile.

"Oh? What’s so heaven-defying about it?" Lin Feng asked.

Master Turtle didn’t answer Lin Feng’s question but instead asked cheerfully, "Have you heard of any techniques or divine skills that reverse meridians?"

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

The Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique records such divine skills.

Reverse meridians! A fight to the death!

This technique is only unleashed in situations where there’s absolutely no other choice.

Once the meridians are reversed, although one can gain tremendous strength, the body will suffer severe backlash.

Such as retreating in realm, physical weakness, ruptured meridians, and other consequences.

Lin Feng said, "Nowadays, many techniques contain secret methods of reverse meridians. It’s a desperate move during life and death battles. Once this method is used, it harms the enemy greatly but also damages oneself severely. What’s most terrifying is not the retreat in realm or the physical weakness, but the permanent damage to one’s meridians, which even Immortal Medicine and Divine Pill cannot repair."

"Exactly! Techniques or divine skills of reverse meridians cause irreversible damage to the body’s meridians. A cultivator’s magic power is closely related to their meridians. If the meridians are damaged and unable to handle the powerful operation of mana, the cultivation can no longer break through! But the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is different."

"What’s different? Reversing meridians, mana flowing backward—this causes more damage to the body than the desperate tactics in many techniques and divine skills, right?" Lin Feng murmured.

Master Turtle smiled and said, "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill reverses the meridians and causes mana to flow backward without any damage to the body and can frantically enhance a cultivator’s combat power!"

Lin Feng really wanted to kick this unscrupulous master into outer space.

Does this old man think I’m as easily duped as a three-year-old?

If the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill caused no harm to one’s body, would my senior brothers have died from their physical body exploding due to cultivating it?

Lin Feng said, "Master, don’t try to fool me, alright? The old patriarchs turn pale at the mention of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. Clearly, there’s something seriously wrong with it. Unless you explain it clearly today, I won’t cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill even if you kill me."

Master Turtle said, "Good disciple! Since you’re so persistent, alright then, let me explain the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill in detail to you."

"This Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill was discovered by me from an uninscribed heavenly stele when I was young."

Lin Feng instantly became interested and asked, "What uninscribed heavenly stele?"

"Mystic Turtle Carrying Stele, have you heard of it?" Master Turtle asked.

Lin Feng shook his head.

It was the first time he heard of the Mystic Turtle Carrying Stele.

"Since ancient times, it’s been rumored that there’s an undying Xuan Turtle, carrying on its back an uninscribed heavenly stele! That uninscribed heavenly stele records many secrets of this world and some heaven-defying secret techniques!"

Master Turtle said.

"Given that, Master, why didn’t you cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill that you got from the uninscribed heavenly stele?" Lin Feng asked.

Master Turtle choked on Lin Feng’s question to the point he almost couldn’t speak.

He said angrily, "You disobedient disciple! Interrupting me so casually! Want me to whip you?"

Lin Feng quickly shut his mouth.

This cheap master is indeed petty.

He’ll definitely resort to revenge when offended.

Master Turtle continued, "Back then, I didn’t realize it was the legendary Mystic Turtle Carrying Stele. The uninscribed heavenly stele revealed quite a few words at the time. Unfortunately, I only remembered a small portion, which was the cultivation method of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill. Soon after, the letters disappeared again, and the stele returned to being an uninscribed heavenly stele. The Mystic Turtle Carrying Stele also vanished swiftly, and since then, I have never seen it again."

"So, Master, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill you got from the uninscribed heavenly stele is actually incomplete?" Lin Feng asked.

After being exposed by Lin Feng, Master Turtle awkwardly scratched his head before saying, "After countless years of improvement, it’s now very complete. If it weren’t because I saw you as a promising talent, worthy of inheriting my Taoist, you think I’d take you as my disciple?"

"Please expel me from the sect, Master." Lin Feng bowed.

He certainly did not want to be Master Turtle’s guinea pig for the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.

...

Master Turtle patted Lin Feng’s shoulder and then said earnestly, "Good disciple! Since you’ve already acknowledged me as your master, alive or dead, you’ll be my disciple. Of course, when you die, as your master, I’ll burn a few more sticks of incense for you."

Lin Feng felt utterly helpless encountering such a shameless master.

Master Turtle said, "Don’t worry, disciple! Now the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is nearing perfection, so there’s no need to worry. Once you cultivate successfully, you can reverse your meridians! Mana flows backward! Cultivation will increase thirty-three times!"

Lin Feng’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Combat power increased thirty-three times? Master, you’re not deceiving me, are you?"

"Ahem... You’re my only precious disciple; how could I deceive you with such words?" Master Turtle said, looking solemn.

"But my senior brothers are all dead, and I feel like you’ve told them the same thing!" Lin Feng murmured.

Master Turtle said, "You actually doubt me? You make me so sad! To prove my innocence, today I swear on my honor—I absolutely did not lie to you. Now can you believe me?"
