Chapter 33: Great Merciful Palm Technique Completed! Flying Dragon Technique!
That demonic banner was sinister and vicious.
Lu Li grabbed the Thousand Spirits Banner and immediately sensed the terrifying and vicious aura hidden within the banner.
He could faintly hear the howls and roars of thousands of resentful souls within the Thousand Spirits Banner.
It was obvious that the banner was an evil and demonic spiritual tool!
Lu Li frowned.
He was not used to using evil and demonic tools.
Moreover, the evil spirits in the Thousand Spirits Banner needed to be nurtured by the qi and blood of living people. He would need to sacrifice humans to maintain its power.
It was a crime to do so!
Sold it to somebody else?
Lu Li played with the Thousand Spirits Banner, and suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind.
However, if he sold it, the banner was very likely to return to Li Jing’s hands.
When that time came, Li Jing would use the demonic banner against Lu Li. That would not be good.
How should Lu Li deal with the Thousand Spirits Banner?
Lu Li pondered.
Suddenly, he thought of something. “I can’t sell this thing. If it falls into the hands of bad people, it’ll only cause more innocent humans to suffer. I can release all the malicious spirits inside. I can exorcise all the malicious spirits to upgrade my Great Merciful Palm Technique and Ghostly Steps Technique.”
Just like that!
Lu Li made up his mind. Without saying anything, he channeled his mana into the demonic banner.
Buzz!
The banner made a sound.
The demonic banner flashed with a purplish-black light. Suddenly, a malicious spirit appeared in the middle of the martial arts practice field.
It was a headless ghost.
It was a tenth level qi refinement realm headless ghost.
As soon as the headless ghost appeared, it growled and pounced toward Lu Li.
“You shouldn’t be trapped and tortured in a demonic banner. You should return to reincarnation.” Lu Li sighed as he hit the headless ghost with his palm.
Sky-Crushing Merciful Palm Technique.
Bang!
Lu Li’s large palm hit on the malicious ghost. It exploded, turning into black ghostly qi that flew in all directions.
Without hesitation, the Mystical Devouring Technique in Lu Li’s body was activated. It swallowed the pure ghostly qi.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
3 system notifications immediately rang out.
[Your Ghostly Steps Technique has absorbed the pure ghostly qi. Your Ghostly Steps Technique is extremely happy. Your cultivation effect has increased by 50%.]
[Your Great Merciful Palm Technique has exorcised a malicious spirit. Your Great Merciful Palm Technique feels good and extremely happy. Your cultivation effect has increased by 500%.]
[Your Mystical Devouring Technique has swallowed the pure ghostly qi. You Mystical Devouring Technique is no longer hungry. Your cultivation effect has increased by 100%.]
Great!
When Lu Li saw the results, he nodded in satisfaction.
Thus, he did not stop at all. He continued to release a malicious spirit.
Bang!
He hit the spirit with his palm and exorcised it.
Again, he continued to release malicious spirits from the Thousand Spirits Banner.
2 malicious spirits came out.
Bang! Bang!
The 2 malicious spirits exploded in an instant.
The malicious spirits turned into pure ghostly qi, and Lu Li absorbed all of it into his body.
With that, Lu Li continuously released malicious spirits. He would exorcise them and absorbed their ghostly qi.
While he had nothing to do, he would silently recite the Heart Sutra to increase the progress of his Indestructible Divine Technique.
He did not stop as he continued his routine… He would exorcise the spirits and absorb ghostly qi… When he was bored, he would silently recite the Heart Sutra…
Repeat… Repeat… Repeat.
He did not stop repeating the procedures.
He repeated the process over and over again.
Suddenly, the system began to flood the screen.
[Ghostly Steps Technique. Progress increased by 1%.]
[Great Merciful Palm Technique. Progress increased by 1%.]
[Mystical Devouring Technique. Progress increased by 1%.]
[Indestructible Divine Technique. Progress increased by 1%.]
…
He did not stop until his mana was exhausted.
After Lu Li’s mana was exhausted, he immediately returned to the cultivation secret room and activated the Spirit Gathering Formation. He absorbed the spiritual energy from the middle-grade spirit stones and began to recover his mana.
Soon, his mana was completely recovered.
Lu Li went to the martial arts practice field and continued to exorcise malicious spirits.
He was very hardworking. He was full of energy and stamina.
He felt like he did not need to sleep for 3 days and 3 nights!
This should be 1 of the benefits of his Indestructible Divine Technique!
Lu Li did not sleep anymore. He was determined to exorcise all the malicious spirits in the Thousand Spirits Banner until they were gone.
Day after day.
On the second floor, in the martial arts practice field.
Lu Li exorcised the last malicious spirit and transformed it into ghostly qi.
Then, he opened his mouth and sucked in all the ghostly qi into his body, splitting it into 2 parts. A part of it was absorbed by his Mystical Devouring Technique. The other part was fused by his Ghostly Steps Technique.
He had exorcised all the spirits in the Thousand Spirits Banner!
Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he casually put away the Thousand Spirits Banner that had lost its spirit light.
He was a little tired, but he was happy.
After exorcising over thousand of malicious spirits, he had become a lot stronger than before.
However, he had to take a shower first!
Lu Li stretched his body before jumping out of the window.
Bang!
He fell into the pool, causing a huge splash.
Under the impact of the waterfall, his fatigue was instantly wiped away.
Lu Li walked to the shore. His dried his clothes and hair using his qi. Then, with a flick of his finger, he shot out a ray of demonic light and hit the branch of a tall fruit tree on the shore.
Pow!
2 spirit fruits fell down.
Lu Li channeled his mana and stretched out his hand. The spirit fruits flew to him, and he caught the fruits.
Then, he leaped up and with a few light taps of his toes, he arrived at the top floor of his Star Observation Tower.
He lay down on the jade bed. He let the sunlight shone on his body as he enjoyed the spirit fruits. Then, he began to circulate his Purple Clouds Sun Refining Sutra.
At the same time, he opened the system interface.
Host: Lu Li.
Realm: Level 5 qi refinement realm.
Heavenly Dragon Spell: Level 2 (Progress 9%).
Mighty Steel Spell: Level 2 (Progress 12%).
Indestructible Divine Technique: Level 4 (Progress 20%).
Mystical Devouring Technique: Level 5 (Progress 86%).
Great Merciful Palm Technique: Level 10 (Complete).
Ghostly Steps Technique: Level 10 (Complete).
This was the result of exorcising all the spirits in the Thousand Spirits Banner!
It was extremely satisfying!
Great Merciful Palm Technique and Ghostly Steps Technique were completed!
In addition, the Mystical Devouring Technique’s progress had also reached 86%. It would soon break through to the sixth level too.
Credited to his mutated 1,000 years old Vermilion Fruit.
It had provided at least 20% of the progress.
Demonic Devil was really generous. Not only did he not take away his low-grade spirit ghost and the Thousand Spirits Banner, he even gave him a mutated Vermilion Fruit.
The only regret was that he had almost forgotten how to recite the Enjoyment Sutra.
Otherwise, if he could recite it, his Mystical Devouring Technique would definitely be able to evolve again!
If Lu Li also memorized the entire Tao Te Ching, then he should be able to advance to another level.
Lu Li felt a little regretful when he thought about it.
Wait a minute!
That low-grade spirit ghost!
Lu Li suddenly remembered that he still had a low-grade spirit ghost.
After thinking for a while, he decided to keep it in the Thousand Spirits Banner first. He would sell it to Bai Jinfei later to exchange it for a flying sword spiritual tool.
With his massive amount of mana, he should be able to ride a flying sword.
In the past few days, he had watched others fly around while he could only float on the ground. He felt a little helpless.
In the future, when he encountered enemies, it would be a problem if he could not catch up with them.
“Moreover, the Great Merciful Technique has been perfected. Should I find a new Buddhist Palm Technique and let them fuse together? Should I find another Demonic Palm Technique and let my Heavenly Dragon Spell bully it? Then, it’ll join them and become a Buddhist Palm Technique.”
Lu Li looked at the system interface and fell into deep thought.
His fighting style was straightforward.
In close combat, he only had Great Merciful Palm Technique.
His demonic light was a long-range attack.
Nothing much. He did not have a lot of options.
It should not be a problem for him to fight alone.
However, if he were to involve in a group fight, he would be at a disadvantage when his opponents used long-range attacks. He was afraid that he would be doomed.
“It would be great if I could learn a long-range palm technique. When I hit someone from far away, I can destroy them in an instant. Hmm? Long-range palm technique? Divine Palm Technique?”
A Buddhist technique appeared in Lu Li’s head.
His eyes were bright as well.
The palm technique that hit the opponents from above was extremely powerful. A casual strike could destroy a thick wall. When he used that technique, he could create a huge and deep palm print on the ground. It was extremely powerful.
If he could learn such a strong palm technique, there was no need to worry about the enemy besieging him!
Lu Li was a little excited. He decided to ask Demonic Devil the next day.
He could just go to the Scripture Depository and take a look too.
However, he need to sleep and get some rest!
Lu Li took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He was extremely tired after cultivating for a few days.
Immediately, he fell into a deep sleep, and he did not know how long he had slept.
3 new notifications suddenly appeared in the system log.
[Your Great Merciful Palm Technique has been cultivated to perfection. It cannot be upgraded anymore. Therefore, it decided to go out and look for opportunities.]
“However, your Heavenly Dragon Spell taught your Great Merciful Palm Technique a new move.]
[You learned the Flying Dragon Technique.]
