High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 226 - 138: A Green Headscarf

He is a Celestial Demon Transformation!

Chen Kuang’s pupils contracted.

This is naturally an extremely strong passive ability. Although it is expressed in just a few words, its strength is vividly displayed.

No need for elaborate explanation. Just a glance is enough to comprehend the terrifying implications it holds.

Any technique that an enemy employs against him, he can immediately replicate!

What a frightening effect this is!

If Chen Kuang had obtained this passive ability earlier, during his journey, he encountered so many enemies, utilizing various methods on him.

It included the killing intent from when Huo Hengxuan had killed him once in an illusion, Li Hongling’s Martial Saint technique, Wei Yan’s "Stealing Heaven and Swapping Earth" skill... even included the saint’s finger seal just now.

Chen Kuang can replicate all these in an instant!

But note, this passive can only replicate in an "instant," during which Chen Kuang can perfectly display the opponent’s abilities, but it lasts for only a brief instant.

Once the passive wears off, he simultaneously loses that ability.

However.

If combined with the passive "Martial Arts Genius," then in this instant, Chen Kuang has a great chance to learn the opponent’s ability!

Because when the passive effect is triggered, Chen Kuang possesses the ability and can fully comprehend the underlying principles of the cultivation technique.

"Martial Arts Genius," being able to grasp something instantly upon seeing it, naturally takes effect at this moment.

Moreover, if Chen Kuang happens to be in a life-and-death situation at that time, it can also trigger "bullet time," extending this instant further.

This extra second might be the key to comprehension.

As passives accumulate more, the effects generated from their interactions naturally increase, possibly making one plus one greater than two.

Chen Kuang is naturally delighted with this refreshed passive.

But...

"Revive the Celestial Emperor Demon King"... What the hell is this?!

Chen Kuang recalled his actions throughout the day but couldn’t find any connection with this so-called "Celestial Emperor Demon King."

The last time he encountered such a puzzling resolution was when those fifty thousand people were saved by the void...

And he still hasn’t found a definite answer to that issue till now.

Chen Kuang sighed silently, feeling he probably won’t find the answer this time either.

However, since "Karma" calculations are related to cause and effect, then the daily settlement of this passive state bar might also be linked to causation.

Perhaps, just by the slight flutter of this butterfly’s wings, it triggered a shift in the world’s line somewhere, causing this state bar to attribute the causal change to him.

Chen Kuang doesn’t think this is a bad thing.

The state bar makes judgments based on his daily experiences, refreshing with different passives that are related to the events.

The broader the judgment range of "events," the higher the chance of refreshing useful passives.

This can only be beneficial for Chen Kuang, with no disadvantages.

Additionally, during the battle just now, Chen Kuang, being too preoccupied, only now noticed that he had also gained a dose of positive karma and two doses of negative karma.

"In the midst of it all" became even more bustling.

Ahead, Yu Xiangsi had already stopped, turning around and whispering, "Come in, I’ll take you to see the Alliance Leader."

Chen Kuang silently raised his head, looking at the small, secluded entrance of the courtyard in front of him.

This back courtyard, in the darkness, wasn’t noticeable, but in front of this courtyard was a vast pavilion not inferior to the Xuni Pavilion.

At this moment, amidst the chaos around it, this pavilion was still brightly lit and boisterous, with what seemed to be many people discussing the anomalies of the night, including some cultivators whose powers were sealed.

He glanced again at Yu Xiangsi and couldn’t help but ask, "Is your Mountain and Sea Alliance running a brothel?"

Indeed, right in front of him was another brothel.

And even if Chen Kuang had only spent two days in brothels, he knew this was Zangfeng State’s largest brothel — the Golden Phoenix Pavilion.

The name of the brothel might be mundane, but it was indeed the largest and most famous brothel in Zangfeng State.

The fame of the Xuni Pavilion was only an ephemeral wave because of Liu Qingcheng, but the Golden Phoenix Pavilion is the true celebrated haven of gentleness.

The reason is simple: because, in the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, there were even cultivators among the women, although they generally weren’t highly cultivated, but there had been one or two Innate Realm experts among them.

For genuine cultivators, Innate cultivation is merely the beginning and not even noteworthy, but for ordinary people, they are already top-class experts!

Who could resist such allure?

And obviously, there would be cultivators backing the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, with no low level of cultivation.

There are even rumors that the "Phoenix" character of Zangfeng State actually refers to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion.

Various mysterious rumors make the Golden Phoenix Pavilion seem wondrous and god-like.

But I bet no one expected that this place was actually the headquarters of the Demon Race.

No... since the deceased Uncle Wang Yang definitely knew about this.

Chen Kuang pondered that with Wu Man being the internal spy for Uncle Wang Yang, there’s no way he wouldn’t know where the Mountain and Sea Alliance’s base was. His allowance must be due to wanting to leverage the Mountain and Sea Alliance’s activities for his long-term gain.

Liu Qingcheng was also quite shocked and said, "In the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, are they all demons?"

Yu Xiangsi shook his head and said, "Of course not, only part of them. The other Elders of the Mountain and Sea Alliance generally would not directly show up; each has its own duties and territories."

"But so many things happened tonight. Even without spiritual qi for communication, they would definitely spontaneously gather here."

"The Alliance Leader is probably here too."

Chen Kuang nodded, finding this a bit more reasonable; if they were all concentrated in one place, they’d long been exposed.

The three walked into the courtyard, and Yu Xiangsi asked them to wait a moment while she stepped into a secret chamber from one of the managing rooms of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion.

The manager in that room was also a demon and had been waiting early on. Seeing Yu Xiangsi bringing two strangers, he didn’t even hesitate to glance at them.

The spiritual qi across the entire Zangfeng State had already been cut off, so barriers and prohibitions were of no use.

This chamber was just a physical one.

In front was lively, but this courtyard was quiet.

Liu Qingcheng directly found a place to sit, hugged her knees in a daze. The night’s changes felt like dreaming to her without any sense of reality.

Chen Kuang had a hunch that he probably wouldn’t have to wait too long.

Within the illusion of "In the midst of it all," Chen Kuang had already, through the negative karma of Uncle Wang Yang, Han Mountain, and Tong Shi, thoroughly understood the current situation of the Prince’s Mansion, Zangfeng State, and that King Jingnan.

—Just as he thought, this negative karma, most importantly, had the intelligence piece.

The Divine Farmer Bureau, Mountain and Sea Alliance, Prince’s Mansion, Martial Saint Pavilion... a power map was clearly outlined in his mind.

This was very useful for his upcoming plans, even critically important.

Chen Kuang’s eyes shimmered.

The saint seals the sky, and beneath this sky, in the sandbox, is where ants contend.

"Being within the sandbox, to contend against a group of ants... one only needs to unite another group."

Chen Kuang murmured.

"It’s just... with the feud with the Martial Saint Pavilion, convincing them might be somewhat challenging, but with the passive ’Logical and Substantiated,’ it should only be a matter of extra effort."

"Hmm... as long as they don’t want to kill me on sight."

He tilted his head and casually caught sight of a green headscarf draped over the door panel.

This is the courtyard for the servants of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion; naturally, this green headscarf belonged to a servant...

If it were just a regular green headscarf, Chen Kuang wouldn’t take notice.

But the pattern on this headscarf looked familiar.

Chen Kuang had an excellent memory thanks to the passive "Photographic Memory"; anything he saw once he’d never forget.

He was familiar not just with the pattern on the headscarf but also with the stains and damages on it.

This meant he’d unquestionably seen this headscarf before.

Chen Kuang quickly recalled where he had seen this green headscarf —

Martial Saint.

Or to be precise, the young man whose body was possessed by the Martial Saint!
