Chapter 803: The Secret Transmission of Martial Arts Techniques
Chen Chuan understood that while entering the Human Form was simple, advancing further was no easy feat. Only the elite among the elite could achieve such heights.
The Pure School, with its expertise in this field, could rival several other sects, and its powerful practitioners undoubtedly had foundations far surpassing ordinary people.
Mr. Zuan spoke up, "I recall you once studied the Furnace Breath Technique, didn't you?"
Chen Chuan nodded, "Yes, it was taught to me by a teacher within the sect. Later, Mr. Wen also taught me the Cloud-Breaking Hand."
Mr. Zuan said, "Strictly speaking, the Furnace Breath Technique is the only secret technique we have here. However, it primarily focuses on combat. Minister Chen, what breathing technique do you mainly use during your cultivation now?"
Chen Chuan didn't hide anything and replied truthfully, "It's a secret method passed down by a master from the Tai Bai Jing Guan."
"The breathing technique of Tai Bai Jing Guan?" Mr. Zuan was slightly surprised, then continued, "The secret breathing method from there is quite good. Not many people have mastered this Dharma now, and this method is actually more compatible with the cultivation of the Divine Form. There's also the breathing technique from the former imperial court's 'Dragon Riding Great Changes,' which primarily focuses on the Unusual Form."
At this point, he straightened his posture slightly and said, "Our Pure School has a set of secret methods specifically developed for the cultivation of the Human Form, called 'Mystic Sky True Destiny.' Among them is a breathing technique called 'Heaven and Earth Furnace,' which is the advanced method of the Furnace Breath Technique after reaching your current stage. This breathing technique can be used during cultivation. I can teach it to you later."
Then he asked, "What about your fighting techniques now?"
Chen Chuan answered, "They are mostly the free combat and blade techniques I learned at Wu Yi Academy."
Mr. Zuan nodded, "Combat primarily relies on performance in battle. If it's just a fight against others, with your current foundation and these techniques, it's still useful. But beyond combat, the free combat style also has a significant promoting and regulating effect on Aberrant Organizations, although it's limited to the first to third Limit Breaks. For you now, it's far from enough."
He sighed softly and said, "Our Pure School has a set of Vast Sky Style, which is both a fighting technique and a secret method for self-cultivation. You must have heard of it. Zhao Zhenye practices this set of techniques."
Chen Chuan slightly nodded. When he was in the Fusion Zone, he had caught a glimpse of this technique from afar and later heard Principal Yao mention it briefly.
Mr. Zuan spoke solemnly, "As the Minister of the Jinbei Dao Branch, you will inevitably spar with Zhao Zhenye sooner or later. Therefore, the higher-ups have decided to teach you this secret method as well. Even if you can't master it immediately, it will still allow you to familiarize yourself with this set of techniques and know how to deal with it."
As he spoke, he took a briefcase from his side, retrieved a bound book from it, and placed it on the table, saying, "You can take a look at this."
Chen Chuan reached out, took the book, and flipped through it. He found that it was an old book, with slightly yellowed pages. Both the illustrations and the text were handwritten with a brush.
Mr. Zuan said, "The text and illustrations in this book may seem simple, but they contain the spiritual power of the sect's predecessors. Later practitioners can receive guidance from it, making it easier to understand the true meaning. Without this spiritual power, it would be impossible to comprehend just by reading the content."
This secret transmission was divided into twelve styles, and each style corresponded to the aberrant organization of a specific part of the body. Depending on which part of the aberrant organization one needed to cultivate, the corresponding style would be emphasized.
However, the aberrant organization of the entire body was interconnected. Even if one part required specialization, the other parts also needed to keep up. Therefore, all twelve styles had to be familiarized, and they should be practiced together. But remember, during battles, it's best not to expose which style you're most proficient in to avoid being targeted."
Here, he pointed at the book in Chen Chuan's hand, "The pages describe the postures used during cultivation. Once you master and become familiar with them, you can modify them into more comfortable techniques of your own or innovate and create new ones.
So, you'll see that even though they're all practicing the Vast Sky Style, each person's techniques will be different. Everyone may have their unique understanding incorporated into their techniques."
Chen Chuan nodded; he understood this. Even with ordinary techniques, not everyone would practice them the same way. Fighters, who had already embarked on their unique paths, would undoubtedly infuse their comprehension into their techniques.
Currently, the Vast Sky Style was more like a foundational posture. After mastering it, one could use it as a foundation to forge one's path, similar to the free combat style he had used before.
Mr. Zuan said, "However, Zhao Zhenye is many steps ahead of you, and his understanding of this set of techniques is also very profound. Using this alone won't be enough to deal with him. Therefore, I will also teach you the Great Bright Light Style."
As he spoke, a light shone from his eyes, and even his mask began to emit a hazy glow.
Chen Chuan was very familiar with this scene. At that moment, he responded with his spirit, and soon felt a very complex stream of information being transmitted to him through spiritual contact.
"This Great Bright Light Style and the Vast Sky Style are corresponding secret techniques. Initially, the sect didn't teach them to Zhao Zhenye, and it was already an exception to teach him at the third Limit Break. This shows how highly the sect regarded him back then.
These two secret techniques are a pair, one for tempering the physical body and the other for refining the spirit. Both sets of techniques can be used in combat and complement each other. If one can integrate them into a single whole, even mastering just a few moves from either set can unleash tremendous power in battle."
Chen Chuan distinguished the information that Mr. Zuan had conveyed to him mentally. Aside from the Great Bright Light Style, the Heaven and Earth Kiln Breathing Method was also included in the transmission.
Mr. Zuan's tone turned slightly more serious as he added, "There's something else I should remind you about. These two secret techniques, when practiced together, can be highly efficient, but they also place a heavy burden on the body. One must be extremely cautious during cultivation to avoid overdrawing life energy. Be vigilant and never rush for quick results, as it may lead to self-inflicted damage, which would be a loss."
Chen Chuan assured him, "I will keep your warning in mind, Mr. Zuan."
Mr. Zuan gestured to the booklet in his hand and said, "Keep this booklet with you. If you find someone suitable in the future, you can pass it on to them. If Minister Chen has any profound insights during his cultivation, he can also write them down and share them with the sect. We encourage such practices and will offer necessary rewards based on their value."
Chen Chuan thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Zuan."
Mr. Zuan smiled and said, "Well, I've more or less finished my business here. Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Minister Chen?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "I do have one question. I noticed that fighters usually have their own combat weapons. Where do these weapons typically come from?"
Mr. Zuan pondered for a moment before replying, "For combat weapons, it's best to use something you're already proficient with, rather than crafting a new one. Aberrant weapons contain living aberrant organisms. You can use your own aberrant organisms to replace or enhance them, and you can also absorb certain proportions of minerals and nutrients from the Fusion Land.
Cultivating and enhancing aberrant weapons is a specialized field, and I'm not an expert in this area. However, the government and various sects have experts in this technology. I can help you get in touch with someone, or you can ask Principal Yao from your Wu Yi Academy. He should have plenty of information on this subject."
As he spoke, Mr. Zuan took out a notebook from his pocket, tore off a page, jotted down some notes, and handed it to Chen Chuan. "Here's his contact information. Just say I referred you."
Chen Chuan took it and thanked him.
Mr. Zuan asked, "Anything else?"
Chen Chuan replied, "No, just one more thing I need to discuss with the sect. I might be going on a trip to the outer sea in the next few days." He briefly mentioned his plan to spar with Feng Heshou.
Mr. Zuan said, "I'll inform the sect about this. As one of the three current overseas pavilions, the Wave Pavilion has its order, and Feng Heshou is no weak opponent. Be careful on your journey."
Chen Chuan nodded, "I will."
After discussing the main matters, the two men sat and had some tea, chatting about other things. Eventually, Chen Chuan stood up to take his leave.
After he left, the Masked Man said, "Well, I followed your instructions and taught him all three secret techniques that were supposed to be taught over several years."
Mr. Zuan simply replied, "He can practice them."
The Masked Man sighed, "I trust your judgment in this regard, but it's hard to write a report about this. After the incident with Zhao Zhenye, the sect has been closely monitoring the teaching of secret techniques. We need a valid reason for this."
Mr. Zuan said, "Isn't he going to spar with Feng Heshou? That's a good enough reason."
The Masked Man didn't argue further. As long as there was a valid excuse, it was fine. Chen Chuan, as a branch minister, also had to face strong enemies like Zhao Zhenye. Giving him these techniques wasn't a big deal, but he was concerned that Chen Chuan might not be able to handle practicing them all at once.
The Masked Man thought, "I wonder what secret technique Zhao Zhenye is practicing. It seems to have certain restrictions, but once he masters it, he might become even more powerful than before."
Mr. Zuan said, "If Minister Chen can master the techniques we've given him, perhaps the three of us together can deal with Zhao Zhenye."
After Chen Chuan left the factory, Chang Dong was waiting for him. He approached Chen Chuan and handed him a telegram. "Minister, a telegram just arrived. It's from the express company, approving Xu Captain's application to join the Jinbei Dao Branch."
Chen Chuan took the telegram and read it, "That's good news."
Chang Dong said, "I've also recruited three ordinary members recently. Minister, shall we gather everyone and hold a meeting?"
Chen Chuan nodded, agreeing that it was a good idea to meet and get to know the new members. "I might be going on an overseas trip soon, and it's quite urgent. Perhaps I'll leave in the next day or two. We can discuss this when I return."
