Chapter 31: The Mighty Waterfall Fist

  When Jiang Cheng endured the weakness that came from his bones, using the Red String Knife to insert into the rock, and crawled step by step into the cave behind the waterfall, he had already collapsed in the slightly cool cave.

  The two spiritual energy arrows that killed Hou Yulong had taken away half of Jiang Cheng's spiritual energy, and the consumption along the way made Jiang Cheng almost in a state of exhaustion.

  The cliff opposite the waterfall, the red-blooded snake group that had fallen far but still rushed over, at this time it was like a stream of red meteors, along the footprints of their king, jumping out from the cliff and shooting towards the waterfall.

  Instead, they were dashed into the gorge water by the silver curtain-like waterfall, entrusting their fate to the surging torrent.

  But even so, there was no hesitation from any of the Red Blood Snakes, and in front of Silver Falls, it was as if a rain of red shooting stars had begun to fall.

  Across the waterfall, he slightly appreciated the red flying snake rain on the opposite side. Jiang Cheng sat up as soon as he was established, and even the environment of the rock cave behind the waterfall didn't have time to measure, so he sat down to practice.

  Jiang Cheng was very clear that his current state, even if there were any ferocious beasts in the cave, he estimated that he could only jump into the waterfall and listen to fate!

  The four Soul Orbs of the Blood Tooth Boar King's War Soul activated, and in that instant, the Black Tower column rotated once, releasing the dense spiritual energy it had absorbed from the Sword Leaf Grass earlier.

  As the four Soul Jade Marbles burst forth with four streams of spiritual energy, they circulated within Jiang Cheng's body along a special route, rapidly nourishing his withered physique.

  Jiang felt an immense relief from the emptiness in his body that made him want to devour a whole cow at once.

  Almost an hour later, after consuming the medicinal properties of five stalks of Jianye grass, Jiang Cheng's depleted Dan Tian Ling Hai was replenished once again. The weakness from using Zhu Wang Bao Zou also recovered to 99%, and what remained could only be restored by his body slowly recovering.

  "Huh? This time, spiritual energy has increased by more than 10%? Enough to make up for five or six days of bitter cultivation."

  After the cultivation ended, Jiang Cheng revealed a surprised expression.

  Since he stepped into the fourth stage of the Realm of Conferred Enlightenment and obtained a sufficient amount of Sword Leaf Grass from the Giant Elephant Gathering, Jiang Chen practiced every night, consuming the medicinal properties of two stalks of Sword Leaf Grass.

  Consuming two stalks of Jianye Grass for one night's cultivation is equivalent to Jiang Cheng not consuming Jianye Grass and cultivating bitterly for five days.

  This time in seclusion, Jiang Chen consumed five stalks of Swordleaf Grass, but three of them were used to replenish his body's intense loss.

  After some thought, Jiang Cheng still couldn't figure out the reason for his sudden increase in cultivation. He could only attribute it to the exhaustion of his spiritual energy after Pig King's rampage, which reached a limit and stimulated his potential.

  His body regained its strength, and Jiang Cheng opened his eyes at that time, although he still felt a bit weak.

  As a mountain hunter, I absolutely cannot tolerate being in an unfamiliar region with unclear dangers and doing nothing.

  He picked up the Red String Sword, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help but stroke its body again. If it weren't for this Red String Sword that could slice through iron like mud, Jiang Cheng probably wouldn't have been able to hang onto the cliff wall and would have fallen into the gorge, starting his lucky drift.

  The cave is not high, but it can't be seen at a glance.

  Some are damp, some are dark, and the tops and walls of the caves are covered with dark green moss, giving people a sense of eeriness.

  "Huh, what's with this moss? How did it grow into... letter-like shapes?" As he observed, Jiang Cheng's gaze paused, and the moss on the left wall of the cave seemed to take on a shape that resembled characters.

  After a strenuous identification for a while, Jiang Cheng suddenly walked closer to the cave wall and pulled down the thick, square-shaped moss with both hands.

  "Are there characters carved on the cave wall? The moss grew along the uneven strokes and also formed a pattern of words?"

  Seeing the inscription on the wall of the cave, Jiang Cheng's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly cleared a large area of the wall, revealing an inscription that looked like it had been there for many years.

  "Moved by the mighty waterfall's crash against the heavenly gate, I have secluded myself here for three years to cultivate my skills. I have received the divine will of heaven and created three styles of combat soul techniques. To repay the heavens' kindness, I have inscribed them on the cave wall, waiting for someone with a destined connection!"

  "My name is Lang Wangguo, if there's someone with a predestined affinity who practices these three forms of Soul Warrior techniques, then we'll have a master-disciple relationship."

  "I had already devoured three souls before creating these three Soul Warrior techniques: the Black Flame Pig Spirit, the Ice Cloud Eagle, and the Five-Colored Earth Rhinoceros. The original source of my Soul Warrior is the Black Rock Beast. Only those who possess these four types of Soul Warriors can master this technique and unleash its true power. Others may learn it, but they will never be able to fully master it!"

  After this line of inscriptions, there are more than a hundred stone carvings, which are the three styles of war soul techniques, and each carving has an annotation.

  Jiang Cheng was already astonished after reading just half of it.

  The three-style battle soul technique left behind by the sea wave, although only three styles, each style has as many as thirty-six changes. The movement of Jiang Cheng's top-grade battle skill, Ling She Shan, even if it is practiced to perfection, has only nine changes at most.

  It can be seen that these three Shenghun techniques are very powerful, and Jiang Cheng estimates that the lowest of these three Shenghun techniques should be at least a mid-grade Earth-level martial skill.

  As said by Lang Hua Hai, he has already devoured three spirits.

  After reaching the Realm of Acknowledging Kindness, the cultivation of Soul Warriors is divided into four stages: Devouring Spirit Realm, Opening Soul Realm, Manifesting Void Realm, and Transcending Pillar Realm.

  In general, when a soul warrior cultivates, under normal circumstances, after the Cheng En realm, each time they break through a realm, they can devour a spirit once. Even someone like Jiang Cheng, who is an awakened Tian Qi war soul, under normal circumstances, before opening their soul realm, can only devour spirits twice.

  By analogy, the most terrifying existence that has crossed the sea is also the Kaishen realm. And the Kaishen realm, it's a legendary figure who exists after breaking through the peak of Xiuling realm cultivation.

  It is said that only the old spirit of the Biyuan Kingdom has reached the realm of Kaishen, where ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

  The terror of such an existence has created a battle spirit technique that is not much different from this.

  The full name of this martial art created by Rō Kaizan is Bakuryū Shinken, divided into three styles.

  The first move, Downward Flowing Water!

  The Second Style: Torrents of Fury!

  The third style, violent waterfalls thousands of times!

  After carefully viewing the one hundred and eight stone carvings on the wall of the cave, Jiang Cheng found a large number of inscriptions behind the stone carving pictures.

  "The war spirits I have swallowed are all renowned for their divine power, so to cultivate the Fierce Torrent Divine Fist, one must possess divine power, combined with a rich spiritual energy, and also grasp the intent of the Fierce Torrent Nine Heavens Unbroken Fist, in order to thoroughly master the Fierce Torrent Divine Fist."

  When it arrives, the fist is like a violent waterfall, without any interruption, and can make the enemy's hands and mind tremble.

  Above the cave entrance on the left side, twenty meters up, there is a stone platform. On top of it, waterfalls cascade down continuously. Those who have affinity can experience the fist intent of the Nine Heavens Waterfall here.

  Moreover, one can borrow the flying waterfall to strike and temper their physical body, cultivating divine power. Afterward, they can also merge with the war soul.

  The writing stopped here, and three astonishing exclamation marks suddenly appeared.

  "Everyone knows that Battle Souls have strengths and weaknesses, but no one knows that fusing Battle Souls has its own highs and lows!"

  The warrior's spirit is like a man's divine soul; if the divine soul is restless, how can the mortal body be at peace?

  Initially obtained the battle soul, the fusion of flesh and soul can only achieve one percent, and can only exert one percent of the battle soul's power. If you can fuse multiple times with your physical body, you can exert several times more power...

  If cultivated in this way, the soul and flesh will merge into a great accomplishment, and one can enjoy endless benefits for their entire life!

  "With a foolish and dull appearance, I have achieved a state of supreme emptiness. Sweeping away all those at the same level, none can match me in this realm of emptiness. It's all thanks to this!"

  "Displaying an empty boundary..."

  Jiang Cheng was shocked and stood there with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.

  Because Grandpa Jiang had told Cheng, the Huan Yu pillar was a manifestation of the void. If one could cultivate to the peak of the Huan Yu realm, they would be able to condense and refine the Totem Pillar, which was said to be a living Totem!

  Still invincible in the realm of virtual reality!

  Jiang Cheng didn't think that he still underestimated this predecessor who left behind the stone inscription!

  After reading it carefully several times, Jiang Cheng firmly remembered the more than a thousand words in his heart.

  At the very end of this passage, another sentence was added: "Deep within the Water Curtain Cave, where the sky is narrow and the heavens are confined to a single line, there is a stone milk dripping down, which is a heavenly elixir that can aid in cultivation!"

  Upon seeing this sentence, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but subconsciously look towards the depths of the cave, his face filled with surprise.

  Shi Ru, that's a top-grade spiritual medicine of the Yellow Rank. According to the records of the Ge Shan Department, it was only over thirty years ago that a soul warrior from the Ge Shan Department was fortunate enough to obtain three drops of Shi Ru, which directly raised his cultivation by one rank.

  In surprise, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but turn around and head towards the deepest part of the cave.

  It was extremely dark inside, fortunately Jiang Cheng already possessed spiritual power and could see objects in the dark, so he proceeded with caution.

  This cave is extremely deep. Jiang Cheng had walked for five or six hundred meters and still hadn't reached the bottom, and the cave was getting narrower and narrower, so narrow that only Jiang Cheng could slowly crawl through.

  As the cave became narrower and narrower, Jiang Cheng had to crawl with his body shrunk. At that moment, he finally saw a faint light in the darkness of the cave, like a thin line of sky.

  On a stone pedestal, in a small depression that could fit a fist, a pool of jade-colored liquid had accumulated. Just smelling it for a few moments was enough to invigorate Jiang Cheng's spirits.

  "This fist print must have been made by Old Master Wang, who was dissatisfied with the small size of this stone pit and forcibly punched out a hole with his fist!"

  Jiang Cheng looked up and saw that above his head, at the bright spot, there were several sharp stone stalactites hanging down with a jade-like color. On the tip of the stalactite, there was a hint of moisture, as if the stone milk was dripping down from there.

  But looking at it like this, I don't know how long it will take for the next drop to fall.

  Jiang Cheng didn't stand on ceremony, directly using the small pouch made of snake skin that he carried with him to scoop up all the stone milk in the fist print depression. He even used his spiritual power to thoroughly scrape out every last bit of the stone milk from the fist print depression!

  PS: Just now I refreshed the backstage, and suddenly four collections were dropped. Pig three was scared to pee. The new book has not been put on the shelves, but it has already dropped collections!

  Thank Ansonluo, thank the two brothers of Hengqianjun for their reward support, and thank the brothers for their recommendation ticket support!
