School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 889: Chapter 968: Seclusion, Mastering Divine Skill

After leaving the forest, Chen Nan and Su Qingqing directly returned to the Immortal Spirit Valley.

Since the Jade Lotus Platform was right under their feet, the Protecting Valley Formation offered no resistance at all. They dashed straight into the formation where the Black Feathered Chicken was cultivating the cultivation techniques left by the Demon Clan’s king. Although it was sitting quietly, its aura had become more stable than ever.

Next, Su Qingqing also sat silently on the Jade Lotus Platform, entering seclusion to stabilize her realm.

With no one to chat with, Chen Nan felt quite bored as he stayed nearby. He could only perform light cultivation, daring not to dive into deep cultivation, because he needed to protect Su Qingqing’s seclusion. Although the girl had received the inheritance of the saintess, she lacked experience, and cultivation could easily lead her astray.

Initially, Chen Nan practiced the Broken Stele Qi Cultivation Diagram, condensing the residual stele illusion in the center of the nine acupoints within his body.

After cultivating like this for five days, both the Black Feathered Chicken and Su Qingqing remained still in their seclusion. Meanwhile, the residual stele illusion within his body had reached a certain level, but was unlikely to show progress in the short term.

For the following days, he started cultivating the Chaos Sword Wave and Infinite Buddha Handprint taught by the Monk of Celibacy.

The mental methods for these two divine skills were etched in Chen Nan’s mind, taking him a full seven days to basically grasp them. Although not yet perfected, he could already perform them freely and effortlessly.

During this time, the Black Feathered Chicken woke up once, having reached the peak of the Five Heavens of Sovereign, just one step away from advancing to the Sixth Level of Taoist.

Seeing Su Qingqing still in seclusion, it continued cultivating to break through the Sixth Level of Taoist.

”I wonder how much longer that girl will be in seclusion.”

Chen Nan sighed. Now there were only eight days left until the high-stakes exams. If that girl didn’t come out of seclusion within eight days, she might miss it.

Chen Nan didn’t take these exams too seriously, but he knew they were important to Su Qingqing. After all, she had been diligently reviewing for more than two months, and missing the exams would definitely make her regretful.

But since she was in seclusion, he couldn’t interrupt her halfway; otherwise, she might easily fall into deviation.

”Let fate decide!”

Chen Nan sighed helplessly and began cultivating the third divine skill taught by the Monk of Celibacy—Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun.

Once mastered, this divine skill would increase the number of Ultimate Kill Three Elements Return to One attacks, significantly enhancing his combat power.

Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun—steal nature’s spiritual energy, seize the essence of the sun and moon.

The first step for Chen Nan was to comprehend the natural great Dao of Heaven and Earth to achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man. Only then could he control nature’s spiritual energy at will and merge his body with Heaven and Earth, reaching a state where his Inner Strength would never deplete.

In two days, Chen Nan initially sensed the existence of the natural great Dao, and by the third day, successfully introduced the spiritual energy into his body, though the amount was small.

By the fourth day, Chen Nan succeeded in utilizing nature’s spiritual energy, striking a Infinite Buddha Handprint.

On the fifth day, Chen Nan’s understanding of the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun divine skill advanced further, increasing the amount of spiritual energy he could control. He estimated that previously, he could only perform Three Elements Return to One three times before exhausting his Inner Strength completely.

Now, with the help of Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun, he estimated he could successfully perform it five times.

Moreover!

The benefits brought by the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun divine skill extended far beyond this.

If he exhausted his Inner Strength now, the speed of recovering his power would be at least three times faster than before.

Chen Nan believed that if he continued to practice diligently, and eventually mastered the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun divine skill, he could achieve a cycle between his Inner Strength and nature’s spiritual energy, reaching a state where his Inner Strength never dried up.

With only three days left until the exams, Chen Nan grew anxious for Su Qingqing.

The girl was now deeply in seclusion, fully entering that mysterious state of cultivation. If he forcibly awakened her, it might cause her to deviate in cultivation, her blood might stray, risking severe injury or even death.

Chen Nan certainly wouldn’t risk disturbing her for the sake of an exam.

Suddenly, a loud crowing echoed—

”Oh oh oh... Chicken grandpa broke through, broke... um...”

Before it could finish yelling, Chen Nan rushed over to clamp its beak, saying in a deep voice irritably, ”What are you yelling for? The girl is still in seclusion, do you want to kill her?”

The Black Feathered Chicken quickly fell silent.

Having acquired the cultivation techniques of the Demon Clan’s king, after more than ten days of cultivation, it finally restored to the Sixth Level of Taoist.

”Kid, Chicken grandpa is now at the same level as you, I won’t fear you anymore.” The Black Feathered Chicken boasted arrogantly but kept its voice low so as not to disturb Su Qingqing.

Chen Nan laughed coldly: ”I don’t care what your realm is, if I want to beat you up, your realm won’t matter.”

”Damn it, how about we find a place to spar if you’ve got guts?” The Black Feathered Chicken taunted.

Chen Nan seized the moment when the Black Feathered Chicken wasn’t paying attention and unleashed a Infinite Buddha Handprint, instantly sending the dead bird tumbling several tens of meters away, flipping several somersaults mid-air. Chen Nan swiftly followed up with Slaughter God Seven Steps, transforming Crack Sky Hand into a Light Palm, grabbing its neck in an instant.

”Damn you, an animal dares to be arrogant in front of me? If it weren’t for the girl being in seclusion, I’d beat you up so bad you wouldn’t recognize your hen.” Chen Nan cursed under his breath.

The Black Feathered Chicken rolled its eyes: ”You damned kid, you dare to sneak attack Chicken grandpa!”

”All’s fair in war.” Chen Nan sneered.

The Black Feathered Chicken bristled, adopting a fierce posture, and snarled, ”If you hadn’t sneak attacked Chicken grandpa, he would definitely peck your head off! If you’ve got the guts, let’s set the stage and see how Chicken grandpa thrashes you!”

”Screw you.”

Chen Nan attacked again with another Buddha Handprint.

Like hitting a shuttlecock, he directly batted the Black Feathered Chicken up into the sky. In the distant sky, there came the dead chicken’s low, angry curses: ”What the hell kind of martial arts is this? Such a huge hand, and it was a sneak attack, Chicken grandpa didn’t have time to react, damn it, damn it!”

Hearing these curses, Chen Nan couldn’t help but chuckle.

Soon, the dead chicken aggressively came back, wanting to duel with Chen Nan.

”Go play with your eggs, don’t disturb the girl’s seclusion.” Chen Nan waved his hand dismissively.

He knew well that with this dead bird’s Vajra Body, if they truly fought, he’d inevitably end up being pecked, so it was better not to engage with this beast.

The Black Feathered Chicken was so enraged it jumped up and down.

It furiously flapped its wings, wanting to crow to the heavens to vent, but it couldn’t disturb Su Qingqing’s seclusion, so it could only spiral around in the air, fuming inside.

Meanwhile, Su Qingqing, seated upon the Jade Lotus Platform, opened her eyes.
