Chapter 56: Hellion Lion, Angel Meditation Method, and Mysterious Heaven Skill
It was impossible for the Angel lineage's Meditation Method not to have leaked over the course of 10,000 years. However, the Meditation Methods from 10,000 years ago did not actively involve the Meridians. After 10,000 years of change, the Angel lineage's Meditation Method would naturally have developed parts related to the Meridians.
But the book in Chen Ming's hands did not have them.
This Meditation Method was an extremely pure and straightforward explanation of how to guide one's Spirit, how to cultivate the Power of Light, and how to refine one's own Angelic Fire. Its route was completely different from that of modern Meditation Methods.
People said the Holy Spirit Cult walked the wild path, but how could a core legacy of the Spirit Hall's Angel lineage from 10,000 years ago end up in the hands of a Spirit Master from the Holy Spirit Cult after being passed down for so long?
"This really is the Angel Meditation Method, one of the inner inheritances of the Spirit Hall's Angel lineage from 10,000 years ago. Although it differs from modern Meditation Methods, it can still serve as a useful reference for your current situation."
Zhang Peng flipped through another Meditation Method in his hand and replied casually.
"Teacher, that is not what I mean. What I mean is, how did this thing end up in our hands?" Chen Ming looked at the detailed notes inside and could not suppress the shock in his heart.
"The Holy Spirit Cult is a very special place. Among our 12 Consecrated Elders, the only true Evil Soul Master who cultivated as a human is Wu Yun. And even he only truly fell into that path some time after entering the Holy Spirit Cult and becoming a Consecrated Elder."
"As for the rest of us Consecrated Elders, there are semi Evil Soul Masters like me who cultivate using Spirit Beasts or other materials but never touch humans, and there are also those who are not Evil Soul Masters at all."
"I am Rank 96, and my cultivation is higher than that of Yan Shaozhe, the current Dean of Shrek Academy, yet I am only the 6th Consecrated Elder within the cult. The High Priest is a Super Douluo level figure, and the few ranked ahead of me are all extremely powerful experts."
"And those 4 are not Evil Soul Masters. Some of them are not even semi Evil Soul Masters. They were simply forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult because of their special circumstances."
Zhang Peng put down the Meditation Method in his hand and explained to Chen Ming with a deep sneer, "Do you know about the Spirit Hall's Consecration Hall from 10,000 years ago? Legend says the Spirit Hall had 7 great Consecrated Elders: High Priest Qian Daoliu, the 2nd Consecrated Elder Golden Crocodile, and 2 ancestors from the Coiling Dragon Rod Family."
"Among those Consecrated Elders, one possessed the Blazing Lion Spirit. Some of his descendants surrendered to Shrek, while another portion escaped and continued opposing Tang San's faction."
"The Blazing Lion Spirit is outstanding even among top tier Spirits, possessing extremely powerful offensive strength. In one generation, the Blazing Lion Spirit mutated and gained the darkness attribute, becoming the Hellion Lion."
"However, this Spirit is very special. It possesses absolute suppression over evil. The flames of the Hellion Lion have a huge restraining effect on Evil Soul Masters and can ignore most abnormal conditions, even surpassing the suppression of a normal Four Winged Angel type Spirit. Most importantly, this Spirit can even increase its cultivation by slaying evil."
"Although it possesses the darkness attribute, the path it walks is one of using greater evil to suppress lesser evil, and violence to stop violence."
"The 3rd Consecrated Elder's Spirit is an enhanced version of the Hellion Lion, the Hellion Lion King. It is a Spirit with extremely powerful suppression over evil and darkness attributes."
"It is just that when he was young, his temperament was violent, and he was arrogant because of his talent, so he caused a great deal of trouble while roaming the continent."
"Beat the small one and the old one comes. Beat the old one and the older one comes. Beat the nephew and the uncle comes. Beat the uncle and the grandfather comes. Along the way, the 3rd Consecrated Elder killed more than 1,000 people and wiped out the entire lineages of several ancient inheritances."
"In the end, he was besieged by several Super Douluo from various factions. Unable to withstand that many opponents alone, he was forced to flee. By chance, he eventually came to the Holy Spirit Cult and, after becoming disheartened, took the position of Consecrated Elder."
"This Angel Meditation Method is his family inheritance. Although his Spirit's mutation rendered it unusable, it is still indeed an ancient legacy of the Angel lineage. Most Spirit Masters with Angel Spirits on the continent today do not possess such an authentic inheritance. Of course, in practical terms, this Meditation Method is not especially important anymore."
"Look, I even have a copy of the Mysterious Heaven Skill here. It leaked out after the Tang Sect was wiped out a few years ago. After 10,000 years, many of those old inheritances have leaked out one after another. It is just that some old things truly cannot keep up with the times and have long since been phased out."
"In any case, our current priority is to find a way to use these various Meditation Methods to incorporate the Extraordinary Meridians in your body into a new cycle, and then begin considering how to continue opening your remaining Meridians."
"The Tang Sect was wiped out? Teacher, how many years ago was that?"
"It was within the last year or 2, at most not earlier than the year before last. The Tang Sect has been obsolete for far too long. If it were not for this Mysterious Heaven Skill, I would not even have remembered there was such a thing."
Zhang Peng did not say much more. Looking at the silent Chen Ming, he lowered his head and continued flipping through the Meditation Methods in his hand.
A total of more than 20 Meditation Methods were spread out on the table. Aside from those cultivated by the Consecrated Elders themselves, there were also Meditation Methods obtained by chance from outside factions.
These Meditation Methods were all top tier inheritances in the outside world. The notes and insights recorded inside had all been transcribed by Spirit Masters of at least the Titled Douluo level, each with their own specialties and domains.
It was only because the Douluo world did not emphasize Internal Skills too much. At most, if they leaked out, more people would cultivate them, but no one would deliberately develop methods to counter them. Otherwise, even if Zhang Peng had begged, he would never have been able to gather so many Meditation Methods.
"I can try using the ancient Meditation Method as the core to restrain the Spirit, then gradually integrate the Meridian routes from the other Meditation Methods into it. Teacher, I heard that some secret techniques use specific Meridians as their core. Could those secret techniques perhaps provide some inspiration?"
Chen Ming sketched on a piece of paper while his mind continuously drew on every possible, or impossible, bit of insight and knowledge he could recall, trying to piece them into something complete.
"There are indeed such secret techniques, but I cannot get them."
"Getting these Meditation Methods already took all the face and effort I could muster. As for secret techniques, high level secret techniques are every Spirit Master's livelihood, and also the core inheritances that allow them to establish sects. If I even dared to ask for those, I really would get beaten up."
"Then what about lower level secret techniques? Many of the cult's secret techniques can be learned by Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors, right? With your status, Teacher, could you not obtain quite a few of them just by asking?"
"Most of the cult's lower level secret techniques are sufficiently evil and strange, but they do not really help with one's own Meridians, so they may not be useful. Still, that is not impossible. I will go find some later. Since we have already come this far, a little more effort will not hurt."
