Chapter 808 - 671: Letter from Xuanjing City (2)
When the smoke emerged, it turned into words, leaping before Qin An’s eyes.
[You possess the Heavenly Melody Body Technique and the Nine-Turn Dragon Chant Murderous Aura Source Step. You intend to merge the two into one, but due to insufficient talent, the fusion fails]
Fusion failed, but it’s not a big deal.
Qin An did not hesitate and immediately continued to burn the demon reserves within him.
In the instant the demon reserves burned, the words before his eyes vanished once more.
Then, they transformed into new words.
[You have burned the demon reserves within, transforming them into a vast amount of Qi Blood Power. Under its influence, your understanding of the two body techniques deepens increasingly]
[With the passage of time, the Qi Blood gradually depletes, and your inspiration magnifies, yet it is insufficient to merge the two body techniques into one]
"Still not enough."
Qin An shook his head slightly and once again burned the demon reserves and Qi Blood within.
As the Qi Blood burned anew, the words exploded away once more, transforming into new words.
[You again burned the Qi Blood within, with a massive amount of Qi Blood burning, your inspiration is surging visibly]
[When your inspiration surges to a certain realm, you have a final realization, merging the two body techniques into one]
[You named the new body technique the Nine-Turn Dragon Chant Murderous Aura Heavenly Melody Body Technique]
[Nine-Turn Dragon Chant Murderous Aura Heavenly Melody Body Technique (Great Success)]
A terrifying roar echoed, and Qin An felt an influx of information into his brain.
In his mind came rumblings like muffled thunder, signifying that he fully merged the Nine-Turn Dragon Chant Murderous Aura Source Step with the Heavenly Melody Body Technique, reaching the Unity Realm.
This body technique not only retains its previous effects but also possesses the ability to enhance the body technique with its Source Foundation.
The more Supreme Foundation Power Qin An masters, the stronger the power and speed he obtains.
Without hesitating, Qin An picked up the next book.
The second book was a protective method, named the Mysterious Melody Armor Technique.
This Mysterious Melody Armor Technique was also a book founded upon Supreme Foundation.
He remembers at the time, he sought out Marshal Liu specifically for these two types of books, and Marshal Liu’s eyes flickered with surprise.
After all, even he had not forged the Supreme Foundation along this path, yet Qin An perfectly achieved it.
To anyone, this was a shocking feat.
Qin An slowly flipped through the protective method book; once he finished reading it, he immediately circulated the Void Essence within him, following the operation described in the Mysterious Melody Armor Technique.
Soon after, mist formed words before his eyes.
[You practiced the Mysterious Melody Armor Technique, triggering the corresponding vocational talents]
[Mysterious Melody Armor Technique (Great Success)]
A thunderous roaring sound erupted, and a vast amount of information entered Qin An’s mind.
Qin An absorbed all the information in just a moment.
But merely absorbing the Mysterious Melody Armor Technique was not Qin An’s limit.
With slight silence, Qin An immediately operated the Nine-Turn Murderous Source Dharma Aspect.
As he operated the Nine-Turn Murderous Source Dharma Aspect, the mist before him changed, condensing new words.
[You possess both the Nine-Turn Murderous Source Dharma Aspect and the Mysterious Melody Armor Technique, intending to merge them into one, yet due to insufficient talent, fusion fails]
Insufficient talent and fusion failure are not Qin An’s worries.
Qin An has an abundance of demon reserves.
He immediately chose to burn the demon reserves, transforming into a dense flow of Qi Blood Power.
When the reserves burned, they instantly transformed into a torrent of Qi Blood, merging into every part of him.
He promptly made his choice, continuing to grasp the essence of the two protective methods.
The mist before him exploded away once more, transforming into new words.
[You combine the essence of the two protective methods and burn a massive amount of Qi Blood. With the vast Qi Blood augmentation, your comprehension visibly surges]
[When you operated both protective methods, you had a moment of insight, but it wasn’t enough to merge the two protective methods into one]
[However, you were not anxious; you burned more Qi Blood anew, the massive burning of Qi Blood magnified the inspiration within your mind]
[After a moment, you finally merged the two protective methods into one, discovering a new cultivation technique]
[You named the new cultivation technique the Nine-Turn Murderous Source Foundation Dharma Aspect]
[Nine-Turn Murderous Source Foundation Dharma Aspect (Great Success)]
An alarming roar erupted again.
Qin An fused the two Dharma Aspects into one, understanding a new protective method.
After achieving the Great Success of the Nine-Turn Murderous Source Foundation Dharma Aspect, it not only retains the characteristics of the previous Dharma Aspect but also possesses Supreme Foundation Power.
At this moment, the stronger his Supreme Foundation, the more formidable his protective capability.
He estimates that even if someone stood before him at the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, continuously attacking, they might never break his defense.
Qin An exhaled slowly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, but quickly suppressed it entirely.
He intends to train immediately.
The proficiency in Pill Master and Array Master professions has yet to improve; for the Pill Master profession, perhaps he can seek out Marshal Liu for some Pill Furnaces and materials.
The Array Master profession is simpler.
Qin An immediately picked up the teacup on the table, ready to cultivate the Array Master profession.
But just at that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed, interrupting his thoughts.
Qin An furrowed his brows slightly, then turned to look.
He saw a soldier standing outside the door, hesitating whether to enter.
Qin An furrowed his brows and said calmly, "If you have something to say, come in and speak."
The soldier took a deep breath, then quickly stepped inside, clasped his hands, and bowed.
"Greetings, Mr. Qin, I originally did not intend to disturb you, but Marshal Liu said to invite you over promptly; it seems Xuanjing City has sent a message."
Qin An slightly furrowed his brows, nodded, and said, "Alright, I understand. You can leave now."
The soldier did not linger, promptly turning around and leaving.
Qin An stroked his chin, ceased thinking of other matters, and did not continue cultivating the proficiency in Array Master profession. Instead, he rose and walked towards Marshal Liu’s residence.
He was curious about what message Xuanjing City had sent.
...
At that moment, in Marshal Liu’s room, there were already two pots of wine.
Besides him, there was no one else in the room.
As Qin An’s footsteps echoed, Marshal Liu immediately regained his focus, looking at Qin An.
"Come in and sit down."
His tone contained none of the previous authority or battlefield brutality but rather a trace of gentleness.
Qin An furrowed his brows, though filled with doubt in his heart, he still walked over and sat beside Marshal Liu.
As soon as he sat down, Marshal Liu raised the wine pot, offering it to Qin An.
"Here, have a sip. Since you arrived at the border, you haven’t touched a drop, which displeases me greatly."
Qin An looked at the wine pot Marshal Liu offered, but shook his head slightly: "I still prefer not to drink."
This matter depends on the occasion when drinking.
Besides, Qin An has no fondness for wine; if there were no other matters, he wouldn’t touch a drop.
Marshal Liu’s face showed regret but quickly it disappeared, and he placed the wine before Qin An, speaking slowly.
"Qin An, when you first arrived here at the border, I was quite dissatisfied with you, but your every move, including ultimately winning a chance for survival for the border, has significantly changed my attitude towards you."
"Now I admire you greatly, but this admiration may quickly vanish."
Those words were somewhat enigmatic, yet Qin An detected a hint of meaning.
He furrowed his brows, asking, "Marshal Liu, speak plainly. Does Xuanjing City want me to leave the border?"
He picked up on Marshal Liu’s feeling of separation.
Reflecting and considering the message from Xuanjing City, it was easy for Qin An to conclude this possibility.
Marshal Liu nodded slightly, without hesitation, and then opened his mouth.
"Indeed, they’re requesting your immediate return to the capital."
"From what I understand, this matter is related to the Forbidden Area, and the Defenders there seem to have developed a divide, apparently because of you."
