Chapter 47: The Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art
Luo Xue put down the note and looked at the jade slip.
For some reason, she had a feeling that something was about to happen.
Although everything seemed to be going smoothly since she woke up in this life, with everyone taking care of her, this care made Luo Xue increasingly uneasy.
It was like… a dying wish?
Whose dying wish?
Could it be her own?
“…”
Forget it, she shouldn’t think about these things.
Luo Xue exhaled and picked up the jade slip.
Although she had already cultivated the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture, since it was a Dao technique inheritance left by her convenient mother, Luo Xue still wanted to take a look.
And with this look, Luo Xue gasped.
“This… seems suitable for my current situation?”
The Dao technique inheritance was called the “Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art.” The name seemed casually chosen, but its contents were truly astonishing.
Daoist Ziyang and the two trafficker puppet cultivators had cultivated an evil technique called the Heaven Seizing Art, using the bodies of others as cauldrons for their cultivation.
Now it seemed that this Heaven Seizing Art was likely derived from this Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art.
However, it leaned towards the evil path.
The Heaven Seizing Art used others as cauldrons, while the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art used oneself as a cauldron.
This technique could condense an external avatar. It wasn’t a traditional clone, but an avatar that existed within the main body, invisible and intangible.
Then, one could cultivate using this avatar’s body.
It sounded a bit mysterious, but it was essentially cultivating with another body.
From the description, it seemed to be a technique cultivated by those with physical defects, as the cost of condensing an avatar was extremely high.
Most of the cultivation materials listed inside were completely unfamiliar to Luo Xue. The few she recognized were all high-level resources used by Foundation Establishment cultivators and above.
Yet these were used to help an ordinary person reach the Post-Heaven Realm?
It was too extravagant…
If not for this, how could such an evil technique like the Heaven Seizing Art be born?
Furthermore, the jade slip specifically noted that Luo Xue didn’t need to prepare these materials herself.
Luo Huaxin had already prepared them. When Luo Xue wanted to cultivate, she just needed to ask Senior Sister for them.
The reason why the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art was suitable for Luo Xue’s current situation was because she couldn’t cultivate the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture in the Peerless Summit Sect.
How could there be Yin Breath Poison within an immortal sect…
As for ordinary spiritual energy, Luo Xue would need to at least reach the Spirit Condensation Realm and possess a spiritual aperture to absorb it.
She couldn’t just abandon the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture, a supreme inheritance, and switch to the Peerless Summit Scripture, which everyone in the Peerless Summit Sect cultivated, could she?
The appearance of the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art directly solved Luo Xue’s worries.
She could use the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art to cultivate the Peerless Summit Scripture and her main body to cultivate the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture, the best of both worlds.
But…
“Why… are they all so good to me…”
Luo Xue murmured softly.
…
A day passed.
When Bai Zhanying returned, her face was filled with unconcealable exhaustion.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
Luo Xue went to greet her and asked.
Bai Zhanying just shook her head and walked into the house without saying a word, sitting down on a meditation cushion.
For Senior Sister, with her Core Formation cultivation, to show such exhaustion, it couldn’t just be from the Immortal Ascension Gate affairs.
Just as Luo Xue was thinking about how to bring up the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art, Bai Zhanying, who was resting, seemed to notice something and frowned slightly.
“Master… came last night?”
“Ah, yes…”
Luo Xue was startled. How did Senior Sister know?
“Her wine has a very distinct smell.”
Bai Zhanying saw Luo Xue’s confusion and replied faintly.
But then she sniffed the air, moved closer to Luo Xue, and asked with surprise,
“You drank too?”
“She forced me to drink a little…”
“Drink less. Although her wine doesn’t have any negative effects, it’s still an aged immortal wine. Your body might not be able to handle it.” Bai Zhanying’s expression showed a hint of displeasure. “She came at a convenient time, right after I left.”
“Senior Sister, do you have a conflict with Mother… Master?”
Luo Xue blinked, sitting opposite Bai Zhanying.
She almost blurted out “Mother”…
However, Bai Zhanying didn’t notice the awkwardness in Luo Xue’s words and just said with a hint of resentment,
“How could I have a conflict with her? I’m just unhappy that she’s been a hands-off master for over a decade, leaving everything to me, her disciple, to deal with.”
In fact, Bai Zhanying and Luo Xue were of the same generation.
Logically, their generation wasn’t supposed to handle sect affairs yet. Bai Zhanying was the only exception—because her master had run off.
“Can’t the Sect Master bring her back?” Luo Xue asked curiously.
“Find her?” Bai Zhanying sneered. “Master always appears and disappears unpredictably. Only she can find others, no one can find her, not even the Sect Master.”
But just then, Bai Zhanying realized that she had lost her composure and quickly calmed herself down.
Luo Xue had seen this many times. Whenever Master was mentioned, the usually expressionless Senior Sister would need to calm herself down.
Soon, Bai Zhanying’s expression returned to its usual calmness, and she turned to look at Luo Xue.
“Xiao Xue, why did she look for you?”
“To drink and chat? Last night, that seemed to be all she did,” Luo Xue scratched her head, then took out the jade slip. “But when I woke up this morning, she gave me this.”
Bai Zhanying didn’t even take the jade slip. Just a glance, and her expression turned serious.
“The Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art?”
“Yes.”
Luo Xue nodded.
“This is an unorthodox technique.” Bai Zhanying said in a low voice. “There were evil cultivators who used this technique to harm the world before, and the sect spent a lot of effort to eliminate them.”
“…Is that so.”
Hearing this, Luo Xue’s expression showed a hint of disappointment. She knew about the Heaven Seizing Art, and this technique was indeed very similar to it.
Although it was given to her by her convenient mother, Senior Sister, who was upright and just, probably wouldn’t allow her to cultivate it…
“However, if you really want to cultivate it, it’s not entirely impossible.”
Bai Zhanying suddenly said.
“Eh?”
Luo Xue looked up and saw Bai Zhanying’s complicated gaze still fixed on the jade slip.
“This technique… was originally prepared for me by Master. Because a long time ago, my path of cultivation was once severed.”
A faint smile appeared on Bai Zhanying’s lips, but it carried a hint of inexplicable bitterness. “If you use it, it’s fine.”
With that, Bai Zhanying took out a storage ring. “The necessary cultivation materials are all inside. You can use them as you please.”
Seeing Senior Sister’s expression for the first time, Luo Xue was stunned for a moment.
“Senior Sister…”
“I’m sorry, I let you see my weakness.”
Bai Zhanying closed her eyes, but under the setting sun, tears glistened on her eyelashes.
Everyone said she was the Senior Sister of Falling Flower Peak.
But who knew her past.
“No, Senior Sister.” Luo Xue smiled gently and reached out, as if comforting her, and stroked Bai Zhanying’s hair. “I really like this kind of Senior Sister.”
