Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Nezha’s New Cultivation Technique

Nezha used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to rush quickly towards Outer Heaven.

Nuwa, while writing, commanded, "Turn the page, turn the page! This one’s no good!"

Qingluan, looking utterly speechless, held an ancient scripture and quickly flipped to the next page, presenting it before Nuwa.

Nuwa looked up, checking each line to decide which was worth jotting down, making edits and adding annotations, occasionally asking, "Caiyun? Where is Nezha now?"

Caiyun, holding the Big Sky Mirror, immediately replied, "Goddess, Senior Brother Nezha has reached the 28th Layer of Heaven!"

Nuwa continued writing while muttering to herself, thinking how unreliable the original author must have been, unable even to guide someone like Nezha effectively.

Meanwhile, Nezha, oblivious to the fact that the new cultivation technique he eagerly anticipated was still being compiled and refined, was giving his all in a mad dash towards Taisu Heaven.

Passing through the thirty-six layers of heaven, Nezha landed quickly and began walking, eventually arriving at the entrance of Nuwa Palace. Staring at the seemingly endless Jade Steps ahead, his mind was filled with questions.

When did Nuwa Palace get renovated like this? Or was it always like this? And why didn’t I know about it?

After pondering for a moment, Nezha figured it must have been his teacher’s kindness in hiding the steps before, considering his low cultivation level back then. Feeling mildly sentimental, he began climbing the steps.

What Nezha didn’t realize was that the task of writing a cultivation technique had ultimately turned into a boomerang, hitting him squarely.

Back inside Nuwa Palace, Nuwa sighed in relief as she watched Nezha obediently climbing the steps.

"Switch to another book. What kind of nonsense has Zhen Yuanzi written here?"

"Look for Taiyi’s works; his methods might be more suitable for Nezha."

Caiyun, sweating profusely, bent down to speedily flip through books marked with Taiyi’s authorship, handing them over to Qingluan.

Nuwa didn’t bother with formalities when it came to using others’ techniques to teach her disciple; practicality was all that mattered. If it was useful, she’d use it. Yours? Mine? What difference does it make?

What you learn from me becomes mine!

In the early days, Fuxi and Nuwa had journeyed through the Primordial realm, debating the Great Dao with various Great Experts. Nuwa was the type to engage in thought rather than action, and taking notes? She’d rather figure things out on her own.

Fuxi was different. Without Nuwa’s comprehension ability, he couldn’t grasp her approach. He chose instead to learn while taking meticulous notes, which he later gifted to his sister, hoping they would be of help to her.

Those notes now formed a substantial collection that had been kept in a back hall of Nuwa Palace for all these years.

After finally finishing the compilation, Nuwa collapsed onto her cloud bed, exclaiming, "Ah, I’m utterly exhausted! Accepting a disciple is such a hassle."

While Qingluan organized the scattered books, she couldn’t resist rolling her eyes. "You weren’t complaining about the hassle when you were gleefully watching live streams and laughing."

Nuwa rested for a while, and the palace was tidied up. About this time, Nezha ’coincidentally’ finished climbing the Jade Steps.

Entering the grand hall, he saw his teacher sitting solemnly atop the Cloud Platform, deeply immersed in enlightening herself about the Dao. Secretly admiring her determination, Nezha thought, Even though she’s already a Saint, she remains so diligent—the kind of commitment one must emulate.

"Disciple Li Nezha greets Teacher."

Since the two had grown closer, much of the formalities had been dispensed with.

Nuwa opened her eyes from her feigned meditation and nodded lightly, then handed Nezha the new cultivation technique, the "Red Sun Sky Fire Great Dao Scripture."

Nezha eagerly flipped through the manual, and his immediate response was: domineering—a style he absolutely loved.

Don’t think only Yin Shou liked things titled ’King,’ ’Tyrant,’ or ’Emperor.’ Nezha was the same. This cultivation technique had been carefully crafted by Nuwa, drawing inspiration from Taiyi, Di Jun, and East King’s insights into cultivation, filtered through her own refinements.

Its hallmark? Absolute dominance.

After carefully reviewing the entire scripture, Nuwa explained it thoroughly once again. Under her supervision, Nezha began to diligently practice the technique.

Following the scripture’s methods, his initially pure and serene mana began to turn progressively wild after just a few pivotal points. The gentle, water-like pale blue color gradually shifted toward a golden hue.

Nezha could feel his originally calm spiritual power growing increasingly ferocious, but he wasn’t one to back down easily. Would his teacher ever harm him on purpose?

Faced with narrow or blocked meridians along the way, Nezha gritted his teeth, gathered his spiritual power, and powered through forcefully!

Puh-cchi!

A mouthful of blood sprayed forth!

But Nezha didn’t care one bit and continued running the technique. Once he pushed past the blockage, he experienced an entirely new dimension of clarity!

See? A teacher would never lead a disciple astray!

What he didn’t know was that Qingluan, witnessing that mouthful of blood, had been utterly shocked.

She immediately signaled to Nuwa with her eyes: Are you sure this technique works? He’s already coughing up blood just starting out—don’t accidentally ruin Nezha!

Nuwa felt slightly guilty. There shouldn’t be an issue—I based this off the strength level needed during the Golden Crow Profound Immortal phase!

Nuwa had somewhat overestimated Nezha’s capacity. Although Nezha’s body had gone through Eight-Nine Profound Skills training, been soaked in the blood pool of Pangu Hall, and consumed a Golden Core made with Houtu’s essence blood, making his physical strength formidable—perhaps even surpassing comparison—he was, after all, just a member of the Human Clan. His cultivation tolerance, when set next to an Innate Divine Beast, still fell short.

Ultimately, this technique was tailored for Nezha; anyone else attempting it would likely self-destruct upon the first step.

Nonetheless, Nezha successfully completed the first Grand Circulation, albeit while looking like a bloody mess. But the results? Nothing short of astonishing—it was immensely powerful. His mana had now completely transformed into a crimson-golden hue. Where Nezha’s previous single unit of mana could unleash a power level of fifty, now it could output three hundred.

Furthermore, where it once took approximately ten circulations to fully replenish his mana, it could now be done effortlessly in three circulations.

Nezha stood up, brimming with excitement, and respectfully bowed to thank Nuwa.

Looking at her young disciple, drenched in blood from his practice, Nuwa felt a bit embarrassed and quickly signaled for him to follow Qingluan and wash up properly.

Nezha glanced down at himself and realized he did appear rather disheveled. He followed Sister Xiaoqing to the side hall for cleaning.

Overjoyed with his new technique, Nezha was thrilled, but meanwhile, Shen Gongbao on the Shang Zhou Battlefield also couldn’t contain his excitement.

The reinforcements this time were simply overpowering!

No, to be precise—it was the magical treasure the reinforcements carried that was overwhelmingly powerful!

Treasure Money, as an Innate Treasure, didn’t steal treasures per se; its true function was transactional. It allowed one to exchange their possessions for the other party’s.

What if you didn’t have enough funds or resources? Well, you could use your merit, blessings, and Qi Fortune as supplements.

That, in essence, was this magical treasure’s functionality.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two clueless Independent Immortals, were given this treasure but couldn’t even begin the process of refining it, let alone comprehend its Daoist principles.

What made this treasure remarkably powerful wasn’t its ability to claim others’ magical treasures—there were plenty of others capable of this in Divine Enthronement.

Its real strength lay in neutralizing the original owner’s imprint on their magical treasures. Because the transaction was ’fair,’ the acquired treasure no longer belonged to its previous owner.

Take the example of Guang Chengzi obtaining Ancestor of Nether River’s Karma Fire Red Lotus. Even with Yuanshi Tianzun’s guidance, he had yet to remove Nether River’s imprint—let alone refine or utilize the treasure.

Without suppression techniques, the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus would sooner return to Ancestor of Nether River’s possession by itself.

However, if acquired through Treasure Money’s ’deal,’ none of these concerns would arise—though the cost would undoubtedly be colossal.
