Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 37: Nirvana’s Veil

He returned to his cave abode and took out the Heavenly Lotus Sutra. He was going to comprehend as much as he could right now. It took him one month to master the Qi Refinement section, so it would definitely take a longer time to master the Foundation Establishment section.

The good thing was that he didn’t need to master the section to comprehend the secret skill. As long as he was able to learn only the basics of this section, it would be enough for him to learn the secret skill. Of course, the efficiency of using the skill would be higher if he obtained mastery in the Foundation Establishment section.

In fact, the sphere that he was able to use after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm might be a special secret skill of the Heaven Refining Physique.

If it was true, then let’s call it the Sphere of Refinement from now on. It looked like he didn’t really need to master skills related to his physique, as long as he increased his cultivation realm, they would become stronger.

He began his comprehension after calming his mind to focus completely on the Heavenly Lotus Sutra.

...

In a different mountain range, where many active volcanic mountains existed, there was a valley just beneath one of the largest mountains. This valley was quite big and also the place where the Blazing Valley Sect existed.

"Is this news confirmed?"

"Yes, Sect Master. This was delivered by our reliable source."

"Hmm... Those bastards from the Mountain Sword Sect. How has their fortune increased so much in recent years? How is it possible that they gained two supreme geniuses while we don’t have even a single one?"

When the other elders heard that, they became quiet, as they didn’t know how to answer this question.

"Forget it. We must get our hands on one of them. If that isn’t possible, then at least kill one of them. Tell me if you have any opinions on this."

"Abducting one of them alive might not be possible. The Mountain Sword Sect would definitely be on guard right now, so I think killing them would be easier."

One after another, many elders put forth their opinions.

"Let me discuss this with the Grand Elders. We might really have to wage war against them. Be prepared. Leave now."

"As you wish, Sect Master."

...

In the border city of Kingdom Zhu, in one of the top three buildings, which was a branch of Sky Pavilion.

"Send this news to the Central Region. It will be sold at a very good price. To think the Eastern Region would have a supreme genius and a person with a top-tier physique... seems a little unnatural."

...

News about Jiang Hao spread like wildfire. In fact, once it reached the Central Region, it might spread even more than it had in the Eastern Region, as the Sky Pavilion would definitely promote it.

Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi arrived in the border city to visit the Sky Pavilion. They weren’t here to stop the news about Jiang Hao from spreading, as that wasn’t possible. They were here to commission something.

They entered the building, and when the receptionist saw them, he immediately hurried to the manager.

Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui didn’t do anything and simply followed him.

When the manager heard about their visit, he immediately arranged a private booth for them and attended to them.

"So, what can this humble old man do for you?"

"Humble?... You should not speak lies so calmly; the heavens might strike you one day."

"It’s all business, Fairy Huan. So, what can I do for you?"

"I am sure you have already sent the latest news to the Central Region."

"Which news?"

"Your acting doesn’t impress me, Old Yu. I am here just to commission you, so don’t worry."

"I see. Well, if it’s just a commission, then what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing much. Just track the people from the Central Region and see if they plan to come here. If they make any moves, you have to inform me before they arrive. If you fail to do so, just remember, we are still confident in escaping, but I promise you that the Sky Pavilion will be my main target from that day onwards."

When Yu Hang heard that, he remained calm, but inwardly, he was a little troubled and afraid. It would really be troublesome if she started targeting them. He knew about Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi, as they were famous in this world.

In the cultivation world, they were known as Heavenly Fairies, but those who truly knew them also knew that these fairies could become devils too.

"Of course, it would be a pleasure to do business with the Heavenly Fairies. 40,000 normal spirit stones, 20,000 now and 20,000 when the news reaches you. How does that sound to you?"

"Good."

Huan Caiyi didn’t care about the price, as she didn’t lack spirit stones. That was the last thing any master alchemist lacked in their life. So, she threw 20,000, and both of them left the Sky Pavilion.

...

Jiang Hao didn’t know how long he would stay in this sect, but it definitely wouldn’t be for long. He was finally able to comprehend the basics of the Foundation Establishment section, and with that, he was eligible to learn the secret skill.

He didn’t waste time and started comprehending it. Mastering this skill would open new doors for him.

The name of this skill was quite simple, it was called Nirvana’s Veil. It suggested the concealment of one’s true nature, akin to the state of Nirvana, where all attachments and illusions were transcended.

It didn’t take him long to learn the basics of this technique. Mastering it would take time, but it was enough for now. Exactly three days had passed since his meeting with Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui. He wondered if anything had changed in those days.

He wanted to test the skill’s effect, so he activated it. When the skill activated, he felt that his aura had converged to an almost non-existent level.

It was exactly the same state as a mortal. If anyone saw him right now, they would think he was a mortal. This was also why he wanted to learn this skill, if any cultivator saw him as a mortal, they wouldn’t pay any attention to him.

They wouldn’t even try to see through him using their own skills, as he was just a mortal in their eyes. It was common knowledge in the world that cultivators had a distinct type of aura around them, which allowed others to easily tell if a person was a cultivator or not.

Since this skill directly hid the aura itself, the user became a mortal while using it.

This really was a Heaven-grade skill. It was truly amazing for concealment. With this skill, he wouldn’t always have to be in a passive state in the future. He would be able to infiltrate any city he wanted without being discovered.

Once he gained mastery of this skill, he would be able to control his aura perfectly to display whatever level of cultivation he wanted the world to see. His concealment effect would also become even stronger.

Jiang Hao started cultivating again. With his absorption speed, he would be able to open another meridian in 20 days or so. If others found out, they would be shocked to the core because Jiang Hao needed ten times more Qi to advance than a normal cultivator.

Generally, it took about two months for Earth-grade spiritual root cultivators and one month for Heaven-grade spiritual root cultivators to open their second meridian. The time taken increased as more meridians were opened.

So, it would be truly shocking if they discovered his advancement speed. However, Jiang Hao wasn’t going to stop cultivating because of that. He was already exposed, so a little bit more wouldn’t affect him much and he was just going to open single meridian anyway.

So, he kept cultivating, and gradually, 21 days passed. On this day, he opened his second meridian. With each meridian opened, his strength increased quite significantly.

He stopped for the time being. Continuously cultivating wasn’t the path he wanted to follow, he needed strong battles to refine his skills too.

Since he couldn’t leave the Alchemy Peak, he decided to see if Meiying was on the peak.

If she was there, it would be good to ask her to become his sparring partner. If she wasn’t, then he couldn’t do anything about it.

He came out of his cave abode and saw a scene he wasn’t expecting.

It was night, with a full moon shining above.

There was a girl practicing her sword skills in the training area. Her movements were graceful and mesmerizing.

Even he lost his focus for a second before coming to his senses.

Due to rigorous training, she had sweated a lot, and her entire robe was almost wet, making her figure even more visible.

This was a sight that would make all men lose their minds. After all, this girl wasn’t an ordinary girl. She was the most beautiful girl in this sect. freewёbnoνel.com

This girl was none other than Ming Yue. He was a little curious about why she was practicing here instead of on the Sword Peak.
