Chapter 32: Obtaining the Forbidden Technique: Yin Seal!
Tang Chen stood before the cliff face, where traces of the last great battle still lingered.
One cannot remain forever in sorrow; one must believe that the future holds even more beautiful scenery.
Death would also be far from him.
"Soul Bone Secret Technique: Crystal Staircase!"
The cliff was tens of thousands of feet high, difficult to climb without the ability to fly, but this was no challenge for Tang Chen.
The power of his chest soul bone erupted, and a crystal staircase condensed.
Activating Crystal Escape was effortless, consuming only the energy inherent in the soul bone, making the staircase exceptionally magnificent.
Tang Chen slowly ascended, his movements so elegant and casual. Each time he stepped down, the staircase would automatically condense.
If anyone witnessed this scene, they would surely be speechless with astonishment.
Because this was the entrance to the Heaven Dou Mountain Range, a very dangerous place for soul masters.
Some soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest roamed the mountains, like the Titan Giant Ape before them.
Every soul master who came here was extremely cautious, yet the child on the staircase seemed to be on a carefree picnic.
Tang Chen didn't even need to look at the surroundings; his Reincarnation Eye could see the situation within a radius of several hundred meters, allowing him to avoid any danger in advance.
Besides, unless it was a King-level Soul Beast, he was confident he could easily escape even after ten thousand years.
Following his spiritual senses, Tang Chen found a cave in a cliff.
Besides flying Soul Beasts, probably only a Titan Giant Ape could climb up here.
"Hmm?"
Tang Chen almost fainted from the stench as soon as he approached the cave entrance.
Inside the dark cave, there were piles of white bones with clear bite marks.
The stench didn't come from there, but from the Titan Giant Ape lying there.
Tang Chen took out his mask, put it on, and flashed inside.
He kicked the enormous creature on the ground hard.
"Ugh~"
The Titan Giant Ape groaned, but didn't wake up.
Such a lazy Soul Beast was rare.
"Something's wrong!!"
Tang Chen quickly realized the problem. If the Titan Giant Ape had been so careless, it wouldn't have survived until today.
The battles between soul beasts are brutal, with fighting almost daily.
To obtain more food and become a more powerful overlord, one must learn how to survive.
A blue halo flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
The Titan Giant Ape was indeed in trouble; his Reincarnation Eye could see its internal condition.
Its soul power flow was very slow, mixed with some black spots, likely due to poisoning.
Its body surface was covered with many wounds, some even festering and ulcerating.
These weren't from the last battle; the Earth Explosion Star had caused internal injuries.
The wounds from the Sand Release had been healed with the Recovery Fruit.
"This trash has provoked another powerful opponent?"
Tang Chen frowned slightly. This piece of trash was truly a worry.
The Titan Giant Ape absolutely could not die before the Six Spirit Cat Sisters were resurrected.
Only by taking revenge personally could they erase the shadows; otherwise, they would be haunted by demonic possession for the rest of their lives.
"Martial Soul, manifest!"
The divine tree rose from behind, two dark red soul rings pulsating, emitting an extremely terrifying pressure.
Nearby soul beasts fled in terror, but a gigantic bear raised its head.
Black soul power erupted continuously, forcefully resisting this pressure.
As one of the ten most ferocious beasts, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear naturally possessed unique abilities.
While other soul beasts fled, it charged forward with its ferocious nature fully revealed.
Tang Chen was unaware of all this, currently busy picking healing fruits.
The gourd-shaped fruits were convenient; simply pull off the head, and a fragrant liquid would pour out.
The Titan Giant Ape was enormous, making treatment a major undertaking.
First, he used a small knife to cut away the rotten flesh, then poured the medicinal liquid into the wound to heal.
Finally, he administered oral treatment. The treatment didn't take long, but the tree's fruits were almost exhausted.
Tang Chen even used up all his cultivation fruits before the Titan Giant Ape's wounds began to heal.
The Titan Giant Ape didn't wake up during the treatment, presumably just barely clinging to life.
Fortunately, its bones and internal organs were not injured, otherwise it would have needed a long time to recover and would have no value to exist.
"Hey, get up!"
Tang Chen kicked the giant ape in the buttocks. How long was this guy going to play dead?
"Roar. Ugh."
The Titan Giant Ape's injuries had eased, and it was sleeping comfortably when it was woken up, so it was naturally irritable.
Before it could finish roaring, its voice turned into a submissive whimper.
Because standing before it was Tang Chen, the human who terrified it.
"Woo-woo~"
Ordinary soul beasts only develop intelligence after ten thousand years, and those that can speak are even rarer.
But the Titan Giant Ape was exceptionally gifted; even at a thousand-year level, its intelligence was considerable.
It began gesturing in gratitude, even making human-like movements, reporting how it was injured.
"Hmm, you were chased by a soul beast, the kind with huge claws?" "
You couldn't beat it, so you could only hide here, too afraid to go down?"
"What kind of soul beast is so powerful?"
Tang Chen found it quite interesting. In his previous world, there were no demons or monsters.
Now, seeing a sentient animal, he felt an urge to dissect and study it.
"Eat something, then go hunt some soul beasts for me!"
"Thousand-year-old ones are fine, but if you encounter snakes or spiders, catch them alive, understand?"
Tang Chen tossed out some food and then solemnly instructed.
The Titan Giant Ape, even at a hundred years old, could fight against ten thousand; catching some thousand-year-old soul beasts shouldn't be a problem.
The forest was the domain of soul beasts; letting it harvest would definitely be a good idea.
"Looking at the corpses in the cave, you can tell..."
The Titan Ape shook its head, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes.
"Damn, can't you be a little braver?"
"Go ahead and be bold. If you encounter any guys chasing you, I'll help you kill them."
Tang Chen's heart stirred slightly. This Titan was probably finished.
Defeated and then hunted down, its kingly heart was shattered.
If it couldn't regain its confidence, it would never make any progress in the future, just like a human's inner demons.
He could take this opportunity to help it kill that soul beast.
"Roar~"
The Titan Ape gained some confidence and left the cave, looking back every few steps.
Tang Chen watched it leave, his mind already made up.
Once it was raised for 100,000 years using cultivation fruits, he would definitely extract its soul and tear its bones apart.
What a piece of trash.
Using wind magic to disperse the smell, Tang Chen took off his mask and started cooking.
Barbecue was a must; he was an absolute carnivore.
He remembered he hadn't checked in yet, and today was an important point in the plot, so theoretically, he would receive some good stuff.
"You lead your team into the Soul Hunter Forest, ready to fulfill your past promise."
"You leave the team and venture deeper, returning to the battlefield of the last time."
"You find the Titan Ape, severely wounded and on the verge of death."
"You heal the Titan Ape and decide to kill this useless thing as soon as possible."
"You start slacking off, arranging for the Titan Ape to hunt soul beasts."
"Damn system, more complaining! I'm not slacking off, I'm making use of waste, you know?"
"Fine, clocking in."
"Congratulations, host, you've completed your clock-in. The system has judged this as overtime, and the reward has increased. " "
Gained 100 times the cultivation speed for the day."
"Gained forbidden technique: Yin Seal."
"Yin Seal: S-rank forbidden technique. A diamond-shaped mark appears between the eyebrows, capable of storing a large amount of soul power. It also allows for micro-manipulation of one's own soul power, enhancing self-healing, strength, and speed. Combined with the Hundred Healings Technique, it can grant eternal youth."
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Tang Chen was a little confused. Judging from the effect, it seemed like a weakened version of the Hundred Healings Technique?
The description mentioned the combination of the two, so it should be a prerequisite skill.
Only by possessing the Yin Seal can one unleash the powerful Hundred Healings Technique.
The mere fact of eternal youth is incredibly tempting.
As long as super regeneration isn't used, lifespan won't be diminished, making its inclusion as a forbidden technique somewhat laughable. If one can survive on the battlefield, what's a little loss of life force afterward?
If one dies in battle anyway, what's the point of preserving lifespan?
