Chapter 366: Eunuch Gui: Is My Thing Really Growing Out?

Woooooo~

The flaming Golden Crows fell before the Purple-Green Double Swords, disintegrating into small balls of fire one by one.

However, they did not disappear. Instead, they became pure energy and were reabsorbed into the walls, making the dark runes light up again.

The runes swirled, and those flaming Golden Crows were reborn, continuing their attack on Shen Tian and his group.

“These flaming Golden Crows and the runes on the wall are one. The birds will never die as long as we don’t break those runes!”

Beams of purple divine light shot out of Qi Shaoxuan’s third eye. He observed the walls, hoping to find some key to breaking the array.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. The cultivation level of the person who had set up the rune array was very high, and its complexity was beyond his comprehension.

Qi Shaoxuan might have the potential to be a Thearch, but he was still too young. He was not good enough to see through this array formation.

Zhang Yunxi stood there silently beside Shen Tian, launching beams of sword light to fight alongside him. Even if she could only contribute a little, it was better than nothing.

Princess Linglong, Kong Meng, and Kun Yu also moved forward, quietly squeezing themselves beside Shen Tian.

Everyone joined forces and steadily blocked all the flaming Golden Crows, maintaining a solid line of defense.

But as long as they couldn’t find a way to break the rune array, Shen Tian and the group had to keep expending energy. Meanwhile, the Golden Crows had the support of the runes and were as good as immortal. Sooner or later, Shen Tian and his group would reach the last of their strength.

Wang Shenxu hid behind the group, sometimes crouching on the ground like a tortoise, sometimes standing up and executing his invisible blade technique.

A faint stench came off his body. It was the Heavenly Decay aura.

Now, he had to replenish his energy as he expended it.

I should not have been so aggressive in the earlier fight. I should have left some reserves.

The corners of Wang Shenxu’s mouth twitched wildly. “Brother Shen, we cannot continue like this! We must break through the barrier formed by those evil beasts, or this standoff will never end.”

Shen Tian smiled. “Not necessarily. These flaming Golden Crows look very vicious, but they are a pretty good delicacy.”

Delicacy?

Everyone couldn’t help being shocked by Shen Tian’s words.

You call these things a delicacy? Aren’t you afraid of being stung in the mouth?

Shen Tian gave a faint smile but didn’t explain further. His Purple-Green Double Swords shot out again and instantly pierced straight through one of the birds.

In the next second, the Purple-Green Double Swords delivered the bird to Shen Tian and disintegrated it into pure fire-elemental energy.

But this time, Shen Tian did not allow the energy to be reabsorbed into the runes on the wall. He diverted it into his Imperial Sutra of Sun.

Ten mighty suns rose behind him and swallowed all that fire-elemental energy.

But even after absorbing that large amount of fire energy, Shen Tian’s aura only improved by just a sliver.

It was such a slight increase that it was nearly imperceptible.

After absorbing the fire energy, that earlier flaming Golden Crow did not come alive again. It had finally been truly destroyed.

“I see. Rather than saying that this tunnel tries to stop intruders, we can view it as a training mystic realm left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch.”

Realization dawned upon Fang Chang. “These flaming Golden Crows are very compatible with the Imperial Sutra of Sun. As long as we have learned part of the Imperial Sutra of Sun, we will be able to activate the sutra to absorb and refine their energy.”

Shen Tian nodded. “Not only that. These flaming Golden Crows also harbor part of the mysteries of the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

“Swallowing the energy of those Golden Crows would be a great help to your understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun. Don’t miss out on this chance!”

Shen Tian smiled again. “Everyone, sit down and cultivate! I will kill these Golden Crows so that you guys can absorb the energy.”

Zhao Hao looked rather uncomfortable. “Senior Brother, you’ll kill the Golden Crows while we just sit back and take their energy? How can we do that?”

Shen Tian patted Zhao Hao’s shoulder with a smile. “You saw earlier that these Golden Crows are not that useful to me. But they are very beneficial to your cultivation of the Imperial Sutra of Sun if you can absorb their energy.”

“But—”

Zhao Hao was about to object, but Qi Shaoxuan interrupted. “Brother Shen is right. These Golden Crow flames possess the wonders of the Imperial Sutra of Sun. Refining this energy is not that useful to increasing one’s power, but it can greatly boost one’s understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun.”

“Brother Shen’s understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun is already at the maximum level. It is indeed not useful for him to absorb that energy.”

A frustrated look flashed across Qi Shaoxuan’s face as he spoke.

It was indeed aggravating to constantly compare oneself to others. He had wanted to copy Shen Tian’s nonchalant way of saying that “it was indeed not useful for Shen Tian to absorb that energy”.

But he just could not maintain that nonchalance.

Qi Shaoxuan might have already deciphered some parts of the Imperial Sutra of Sun, but his understanding was just one small step through the front gates. He still had a long way to go to understanding the entire thing.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian already had a near-perfect understanding of this sutra. With his ten-sun avatar, only the great Golden Crow Thearch himself might be able to suppress him.

Qi Shaoxuan’s understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun was totally incomparable to Shen Tian’s.

This was a very defeating notion to Qi Shaoxuan, who was striving to be number two in the world.

...

“Everyone, please don’t stand on ceremony. If you really feel bad about this, just come visit me more in the future so that we can train together.”

The corners of Shen Tian’s lips curled up slightly as he stepped toward the dense flock of flaming Golden Crows. Tens of thousands of sword beams shot out of his Purple-Green Double Swords.

Those sword beams crisscrossed into an impenetrable net, enveloping all the Golden Crows within. The sword aura was at maximum levels.

Shen Tian’s eyes glowed with a faint silver light. His Connate Heavenly Dao Eyes locked in on the Golden Crows’ movement patterns, instantly pinpointing their weak points.

Swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

One by one, the flaming Golden Crows shrieked and dropped onto the ground, disintegrating into fire energy.

Before the stone wall could reabsorb those flames, the prodigies behind Shen Tian had already executed their Imperial Sutra of Sun and started to refine those energies.

In the blink of an eye, nearly everyone could feel boundless streams of energy surging into their own bodies.

They didn’t even need to expend much energy to refine. This type of energy flowed perfectly into their Imperial Sutra of Sun.

Their divine consciousness felt the swirl of this energy, instantly enhancing their understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

At that moment, they finally realized this tunnel was indeed a treasure trove!

If they could fend off the flock’s attacks and cultivate the Imperial Sutra of Sun inside this tunnel, the results they could achieve in a day would be akin to 100 years’ effort on the outside!

Wonderful, just too wonderful!

...

Shen Tian executed his sword skills, methodically killing those flaming Golden Crows.

The group behind him concentrated on refining the fire energy and understanding the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

Previously, Shen Tian’s aura didn’t change significantly after refining the fire energy. As a result, the group thought the energy was not that great.

Only when they absorbed that pure, robust, bubbling energy themselves did they realize that it was not that the energy was too weak. It was that Shen Tian was just too freakishly powerful.

Let’s use the most obvious examples, Zhao Hao, Qin Gao, and Eunuch Gui’s core cultivation techniques were actually derived from the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

Now they were getting a near-complete understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun. With the power of the Golden Crows supporting them, their cultivation was being perfected.

Eunuch Gui could feel those Golden Crows possessed boundless energy. He was growing stronger at a mind-boggling pace. His understanding of the imperial sutra was also rapidly deepening.

For his previous Demon Book of Hyuga, his progress had been very fast, and he had more or less reached the peak.

If he continued cultivating that, Eunuch Gui would easily reach the Soul Formation stage. But it would be difficult to ascend to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, not to mention undergoing tribulation to become an immortal.

Eunuch Gui felt that this might be the perfect chance for him to change his cultivation to the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

By leveraging off the energy of those Golden Crows, he might be able to cleanse himself of the Demon Book of Hyuga‘s corrupting techniques and change completely to the purer energy of the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

If he could really complete this step, he and Qin Gao could be reborn as whole men.

Yes, this was not a joke.

It should be pointed out that elixirs to heal injuries might be precious within the cultivation world, but only to those practitioners of the lower levels.

When a practitioner reached the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, unless suffering from extensive injuries to their Dao or soul, even if they had some extremity chopped off or were completely hacked in half, they would be able to regrow those parts and recover.

Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had never tried to make themselves whole again because their Demon Book of Hyuga technique was too dangerous.

To successfully practice this technique, one had to maintain a castrated physical form. Otherwise, it would be very easy for them to suffer a Qi Deviation.

Moreover, they were already used to their condition and didn’t think of healing themselves.

As a result, they maintained their castrated form.

...

But now, a good opportunity was right before their eyes.

The Demon Book of Hyuga was originally a lost chapter derived from the Imperial Sutra of Sun. There should not be any major risk for them to change to the Imperial Sutra of Sun now.

With the pure energy from the Golden Crows, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were 90% confident of successfully switching to the Imperial Sutra of Sun and even advancing yet another level. After all, it was easier for a handicapped body to leak essence energy. Only by making themselves whole again would they be able to reach greater heights!

Eunuch Gui gazed at Shen Tian gratefully. He murmured to himself. “What good deeds have I done in my past life that His Highness is working so hard to help me? I don’t deserve this.

“Concubine Lan, don’t worry. I will do my best to cultivate and catch up with His Highness, to serve him to the best of my abilities.

As if he just thought of something, Eunuch Gui’s eyes dimmed. “A pity that with His Highness’ talent, no matter how hard I try to catch up, I can only gaze at his back profile from afar. He might even disappear from my sights!”

Luckily, His Highness still has those prodigies of his generation.

With those prodigies chasing after His Highness, I think that his cultivation journey should not be too lonely.

Concubine Lan, please give your blessings and keep His Highness safe in this Thearch tomb.

If there is any danger, I am willing to give my life to defend him!

Eunuch Gui’s eyes filled with hot tears as he quietly swore his promise. His face suddenly changed.

...

Damn, something feels not quite right!

A tingling feeling. A numbness. Also, a little itchiness!

Looks like my thing is really growing out!
