Chapter 26: Eight Strange Skills

Qitian patted Zhang Churan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Old Master Xu's body is about to give out."

Having said that, he came before Xu Xiang and placed his hand on Xu Xiang's heart.

"What are you going to do" Xu Sanli immediately said.

However, just at that moment, Fung BoBo suddenly spoke up, "Don't move, he's rescuing Gouwa!"

Only then did we see Heaven's Reach raise its hand, emitting a faint golden light. However, the light vanished quickly.

And Xu Xiang seemed to have recovered as well, his eyes regaining much of their former intensity.

And when Xu San and Xu Si saw this scene, both of them were visibly excited.

However, at that moment, Qi Tian spoke up.

"You two stop daydreaming, I can't save your old man. He's run out of oil, not sick."

To be precise, his life had reached its end. Even if he replenished his energy, it would be useless. It wouldn't matter.

I've only used my magic to temporarily suspend his life. When my power fades, he will reach the end of his life completely.

Hearing this, Xu San and Xu Si fell silent at once.

At this time, Xu Si's right hand trembled slightly as he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but he didn't light it.

"Is there really no way at all Qitian, if you need anything, no matter what it is, we will definitely get it for you."

However, hearing this, Qi Tian directly shook his head and said:

"No way, I told you, your old man is running on fumes."

You can think of his situation as a lamp. The oil is gone, and it's very difficult to replenish the oil.

What's needed is a panacea, I mean a real panacea, not some old remedy.

As for elixirs, to be honest, they are long gone. While old medicines can replenish one's energy, they are merely supplements. The true source is something far more profound... difficult to explain.

Well, if you could find those six celestial thieves, there might be a chance to save your old man.

"Six Treasure Heavenly Robbers" Xu San and Xu Si's eyes lit up as they looked at Qi Tian.

However, Qi Tian shrugged and said, "Well well, one of the Eight Wonders of the Past, similar to Qì cultivation in essence. It's just that those who understood it have long since disappeared."

Besides, this also requires Old Master Xu to learn, but his body is basically impossible.

Upon hearing this, the Xu brothers' eyes immediately dimmed.

At this point, Xu Xiang asked in a calmer tone, and then said:

"Qitian, how much longer can I hold on"

"Your life force was already at its end. I just forcibly gathered your scattered innate Qi and concentrated it in your heart, giving you vitality."

Once your Qi disperses, your heart will stop beating. That should take about half a day!"

Xu Xiang: "Enough! Enough!"

After I and Ah Wu went there that year, we saw corpses all along the way. They were all the heads of various sects.

Finally, we arrived at our destination and found the person we were looking for, Zhang Xilin. However, when we got there, he was on his last breath.

Moreover, most importantly, he knew Ah Wu because as soon as he saw her, he called out her name and addressed her as Fung Bo Bo.

And we really confirmed that, that Zhang Xilin knew about A-Wu's true parentage.

But when we asked him, Zhang Xilin did not tell us.

...instead he gave us a clue, saying we should protect Zhang Churan and keep him safe until the day he enters the world of supernatural beings, only then will he appear by his side.

And tell us, those who follow Zhang Churan will find the answers we seek!

Finally, Zhang Xilin was defeated by the Tang Sect's poison and his ultimate skill, Dan Shi, failed to hold out any longer. This is when Wu Ah killed him.

At this point, Zhang Churan fell silent. Qi Tian, however, raised an eyebrow and said:

"Hee hee, interesting, really interesting! I didn't expect there to be so many things inside, but there might be something you got wrong.

Zhang Churan's grandfather, whose original name should not be Zhang Xilin.

And at this time, Xu Xiang looked at Qitian and said, "Now, can you tell me what you know"

Qitian shrugged and said, "Haha! No problem, it's a small thing!"

I've dug up more information than you could possibly imagine, some of it even gleaned from whispered secrets within influential families.

Back then, there was a peculiar person who emerged from Quanxing. This person was quite interesting and remarkably capable.

That person claimed to be Wúgēnshēng, claiming to be a naturally gifted spiritual root... a being that existed from the beginning of time and would continue until its end. In the end, he even became the master of all sects at that time.

"Head of the entire sect!" Xu San and Xu Si said in surprise.

Then, smiling, Qi Tian nodded and said:

"That's right! How about it, are you surprised All of them at Full Sect are a bunch of useless people, you should know that. But, this person actually became the leader of Full Sect."

...and was still unanimously agreed upon by all the full-fledged members of the sect.

But, he was an interesting person. He liked to make friends everywhere. Because it was too chaotic at the time, disciples from all major sects went down the mountain and gradually became acquainted with Wu Gen Sheng.

At first, because he was born without roots, everyone shunned him. But later, later, no one knows exactly what happened, they didn't care anymore.

Finally, he also became sworn brothers with the Rootless Ones, who later came to be known as the Thirty-Six Bandits.

These people, for some unknown reason, became sworn brothers without any foundation. However, after their own sects found out, they began to arrest them.

But then, for a period of time, Wugen Sheng gathered them together in one place. In the end, a message was sent out.

This message is very interesting. It says that out of the thirty-six thieves, eight of them understood something and called themselves the Eight Odd Techniques.

These were eight incredible and unheard-of methods, which at the time were considered miraculous. Later on, no one knows what happened to them.

Then, the various schools began to hunt down those people. Among them were members of each school, who, after capturing disciples from their own school, directly killed them.

And the other part is to peek at those so-called Eight Miracles.

Thus, chaos ensued. Some were arrested, while others simply vanished.

And finally, after this turmoil completely disappeared, an interesting thing happened. The root of the unrest, which had seemed so tangible, vanished without a trace.

Moreover, at that time, with the invasion of foreign enemies, all major sects had focused their main forces on resisting the invaders.

And lastly, those who managed to escape also vanished without a trace. Some died, some fled, and some simply disappeared.

As for me, out of curiosity, I investigated these so-called Eight Marvelous Techniques. Although I didn't get all the information, I did figure out all their names.

Even some abilities and knowledge.

They each possessed different understandings: Zhang Churan's grandfather had grasped the "Qi-Body Source Flow," Feng Tianyang from the Wu Xian lineage had comprehended "Conjuring Spirits and Commanding Generals," and Zhou Sheng of Wudang had realized the "Wind After Strange Gate."

Shangqing Zheng Zibu's comprehension of "Tongtian Lu," and Ma Ben, a hereditary master of alchemy, comprehending "Shenji Bai Lian."

What Ruan Feng comprehended was the "Six Curses Immortal Thief", as well as Gu Chi Ting's comprehension of the "Daluo Cave View", and Duan Mu Ying's comprehension of the "Double Complete Hands".

These are the so-called Eight Wonders, but not many people know about their effects. At most, they only know their names.

Even some people, who don't even know their own names.

Oh, by the way, after Feng Tianyang was captured, someone wanted to probe his memories and soul. In the end, that person was left disabled.

Because their minds are filled with powerful, strong taboos.

However, despite all that, heaven and earth are not yet complete. And as for these so-called restrictions, they too have flaws and can be broken through.

This person I guess he's Zhang Churan's grandfather, but I haven't figured it out for sure.

But later, someone used these eight magical skills, and I also learned about some of their effects.

As for the origin of Zhang Churan's qì, it's unclear. However, considering that his grandfather was able to kill so many people at his age and almost rivaled the Great Daoist Master, it speaks volumes about the extraordinary nature of his qì lineage.

However, Xu Si frowned and said:

"Almost catching up, wait a minute, you mean to say this Qi flow is inferior to the Old Master's"

After hearing this, Qi Tian rolled his eyes at him and said:

"Hee hee, what do you think It's just the flow of Qi. The old Daoist Master is serious, I reckon he could slap Zhang Xilin to death with one hand."d, this world is very interesting, you can take a look."Having finished speaking, Qitian waved his hand. Suddenly, some memories entered the minds of the two people.After a while, both of them looked...
