Chapter 1355 - Chapter 1355 Chapter 647 Bitter God Detachment Skill

Chapter 1355: Chapter 647: Bitter God Detachment Skill Chapter 1355: Chapter 647: Bitter God Detachment Skill From point A to point B, the shortest distance is a straight line; yet, to move from the goal to reality may require countless twists and turns.

This is not taking a detour, but the necessary effort to solidify the foundation.

It’s just like how Tang Luo could now confidently say that the God-making plan had been perfectly successful and that Tang Jie’s crisis was due to his own incompetence.

Even as his combat experience became increasingly rich, the personalities he Mirror Spirited would also grow stronger, with higher amplification multiples.

However, such a result meant that a divine plan that could ultimately surpass the Holy Land had turned into a niche work that was too sophisticated for many, losing its original meaning.

Therefore, to avoid this inexplicable future, one must get back to the basics and consider the most fundamental units.

Enhancing mental strength and tempering willpower would become mandatory courses for the Tang Family’s warriors transitioning from the Mortal Realm, with importance even greater than martial skill cultivation.

He flipped through “Ziwei Heavenly Star Intent,” contemplating the future cultivation path for Tang Clan disciples while also sparing some energy to monitor Tang Jie’s condition.

Engaged in this multitasking, another day passed, and as Tang Jie’s soul began to disperse and shrink in the God’s Residence, Tang Luo put down the book, readying the Yin-Yang Grinding.

“At most one hour, if there’s still no improvement…”

Tang Luo said to Yun Xiu, turning his head, then fixed his gaze firmly on Tang Jie.

Perhaps it was the dispirited soul losing its arrogance, or maybe it was a reward for Tang Jie’s resilience; after four days of agony, he finally subdued the Supreme Divine Soul.

Unfortunately, due to the final disintegration and shrinkage, the Supreme Divine Soul, which should have had a 4.1 multiplier, was left with only 3.2.

Reduced by a full one-fifth, and as for Tang Jie, who had completed the soul capture, he directly fainted from mental exhaustion.

With no choice, Tang Luo had to dispel the Yin-Yang Grinding and encapsulated the Spirit Liquid with a stream of pure Innate Qi into Tang Jie’s mouth. Only after ensuring that the God’s Residence was stable did he put the book back on the stone platform, write a few notes of attention on white paper, and then, taking Yun Xiu with him, left the place.

It seemed that in the coming period, he would need to find a powerful divine technique that could be cultivated in the Mortal Realm!

Longzhou Calendar, Year 1788

May 5th

On the task board of Longjiang Seven Cities Martial Hall, instructors saw a new teaching objective.

The progress of the core technique, Heavenly Pathway Technique, naturally remained in the top spot, but the importance of martial skills and body conditioning had slipped to the third and fourth places respectively.

Taking their places was a technique called “Bitter God Detachment Skill.”

When the instructors first saw this technique, they were overjoyed, thinking it was a new divine skill created by the clan, but when they actually got the secret manual and opened it, they all had bitter expressions on their faces.

But the mission of an instructor is to train disciples for the clan, so as long as the higher-ups deemed it necessary to practice the Bitter God Detachment Skill, their job was simply to teach it.

However, not everyone was so obedient, like Tang Xing, the chief instructor of Jiejiang City Number One Training Ground.

The moment he finished the Bitter God Detachment Skill manual, this pride of the Spiritual Fire erupted.

“Something’s not right with this technique. If we train according to this, the disciples at the Number One Training Ground will surely be doomed. No, I must go to my father-in-law!”

The Sect Head of Jiejiang City is Tang Sen, and right below him is the former Martial Ancestor, Tang Qian, who are now related by marriage, their children having wed one another.

Therefore, Tang Xing was especially comfortable in Jiejiang City, after all, the top leader was his father, and the second-in-command was his father-in-law.

There was nothing that couldn’t be solved by finding the right person, if one couldn’t resolve it, then simply turn to another.

With the martial technique in hand, Tang Xing went directly to the second-highest authority at God’s Residence of Jiejiang City, his father-in-law Tang Qian, and after reporting his purpose, he spoke his mind directly, “Father-in-law, this technique is terribly flawed!”

Tang Qian only glanced at the scrolls in Tang Xing’s hands and immediately knew the young man’s intention.

In truth, it wasn’t just him who found an issue with this; upon seeing the “Bitter God Detachment Skill”, countless members from the core veins of Martial Ancestors had spoken out indignantly, believing that popularizing this technique in the Martial Hall and ranking it so highly was misleading to descendants.

But this time the Elder Council took an unusually firm stance, with virtually no negotiation process, imposing the task onto the chiefs of the seven great Martial Halls.

Change was impossible now, and all he could do was to try to steer his son-in-law, urging him not to complicate matters further.

“The Elder Council has issued an absolute mandate; all disciples of Tang Clan in the seven Martial Halls must practice this technique. You should grasp it thoroughly first, son-in-law, and not let the other cultivation grounds gain on us.”

“What progress? Let whoever wants to practice at the other cultivation grounds do as they please; my disciples definitely won’t be practicing this destructive technique!”

Tang Xing appeared very agitated, “Father-in-law, have you read this secret tome? What ‘Bitter God’ technique is this? It’s clearly a technique that is about enduring hardship.”

“In the Mortal Realm, the curriculum calls for fasting and abstaining from water, lying on spikes and stepping on hot coals, and enduring extreme cold and scorching heat.”

“The Mortal Transcendence Realm’s method of ‘spiritual tempering’ even involves the continuous consumption of mental energy; a few cycles of practice leave people mentally exhausted, even more so than the ascetic monks from Buddha’s Country.”

“If there was some incredible divine ability to gain from it, I would hold my nose and accept it. But the only benefit of such arduous effort is to train one’s mind and temper the spirit. What kind of reasoning is that!?”

Getting angrier as he thought about it, Tang Xing smashed the scroll on the table, saying angrily, “I don’t know which bastard came up with such a disgusting technique. Is it just to torment the clan’s disciples? I can’t believe the Elder Council actually agreed to this nonsense, even ranking this technique below the main vein’s techniques. There’s no logic to that!”

“How dare you,” Tang Qian scolded with a frown, “Even if you don’t understand the deeper meaning, you should not assume carelessly. How could a resolution unanimously passed by thirteen elders be as flawed as you say it is?”

As the second-in-command of Jiejiang City, Tang Qian was Tang Xing’s immediate superior. When he set his face sternly, he exuded an imposing aura even without showing his anger.

Tang Xing knew that his words had been excessive. He would never have done this elsewhere, but in front of his father-in-law, he had let himself go too much. Now being chastised, he immediately admitted his fault sincerely.

However, he was unwilling to retract his judgment of “Bitter God Detachment Skill”: “Your son-in-law should not have doubted the intentions of the Elder Council, but this technique must have problems. If disciples of our clan all spend time on it, it won’t be long before they are overtaken by the clan warriors. A situation where the master is weak, and the servants are strong would be a disaster in the making!”

“Sigh,” Tang Qian sighed helplessly, “I of course understand your concerns, but now that the Elder Council has issued a firm command, not only do our Martial Hall disciples have to practice this barren technique, even the students of the clan schools, if they are inclined towards the martial path, must practice it too!”

This kind of mandate almost reached the level of wartime unity; no matter how many doubts the entire clan had, they had to execute it without discount.

‘Am I the only one who sees the stupidity in this mandate?’

Knowing it was now impossible to persuade Tang Qian, Tang Xing couldn’t help but feel a sense of lonely clarity as if he were the only sober person in a world of drunkards.

‘I absolutely cannot let Tang Clan’s disciples be ruined by this mandate!’

After feeling isolated, a resolute spirit emerged. Tang Xing turned and walked away with decisive footsteps.

“Where are you going?”

“To find my brother; he will have a way to deal with this mandate!”
