“Alright, that’s more like it!” Cang Yan gave a satisfactory nod. He had an expression of ‘the boy is worth teaching’, ‘an old man’s sayings are seldom untrue’, ‘the distance I walked on bridges is more than a hundred times than the distance you walked’. How could heeding my advice be wrong? It’s alright to make mistakes in your youth, the problem is to not realize your mistake. It is a great virtue to correct what you have done wrong.
Cang Yan patted Yi Yun on the shoulder and just as he was about to say a few more words, Yi Yun’s words pushed the words Cang Yan wanted to say back into his throat.
“Senior Cang Yan, this junior understands. This junior shall choose the third mystic technique, ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’…” Yi Yun made up his decision after careful thought.
“Uh…” Cang Yan stared at Yi Yun as if he was a rooster whose neck was strangled right before it could crow.
He widened his eyes and looked disbelievingly at Yi Yun.
At this moment, Yi Yun still gave a pensive look.
He had immediately eliminated the first one among the three mystic techniques. The five elemental laws were not goals Yi Yun pursued.
As for the second and third mystic techniques, they had their own advantages.
The second mystic technique cultivated the power of the stars!
Yi Yun recalled that just after entering this world, the Purple Crystal had absorbed the power of the stars at night in the Cloud Wilderness. The faint dream-like lights were still something fresh in Yi Yun’s mind. It was because of them did he slowly realize the abilities of the Purple Crystal.
It was easy to guess that it would be easy to master the ‘Book of the Stars’ using the Purple Crystal.
But…the ‘Book of the Stars’ had its limitations. Just the power of the stars meant that it was only a single law.
Besides, the power of the stars and the power of pure Yang had a big difference. It was not well-suited to the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ he used.
Hence, Yi Yun had decided to choose the third mystic technique, it was one that had endless possibilities and infinite variations. The ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ was neither limited by laws, nor was it limited to elemental energy properties.
Unfortunately…
The ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ was a remnant!
This meant that he would be faced with numerous difficulties as he progressed further with the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’.
Once he reached that point, he had to find the other pieces of the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’. But it was almost impossible to find such a nameless ancient book.
“If it’s absolutely impossible, I’ll use the Purple Crystal’s energies to circulate. I might then be able to make up for some of its deficiencies. Or I might look for and then cultivate other similar totem mystic techniques.”
As Yi Yun was speaking to himself, he turned towards Cang Yan and saw Cang Yan’s mouth agape. His expression was lifeless, staring at Yi Yun with widened eyes. He looked like a dead fish, one that had been choked to death.
