783: Chapter 779 Innate Skill 783: Chapter 779 Innate Skill “Taoist priest, since you noticed at a glance that I am not an ordinary person, can you tell me who I really am?
An alien?”
Ye Tian said jokingly while Wu Chen the Taoist priest shook his head.
“It cannot be said, it cannot be said…
Sir, your background is indeed a heavenly secret!
Moreover, from your palmistry, I can only glimpse a little; I cannot fully discern your background!
Asking me now, the heavenly secrets must not be revealed.
If I rashly reveal your background, I fear it could lead to fatal disaster!”
“It’s always ‘cannot be said’…”
Ye Tian felt somewhat dejected, noticing from Wu Chen the Taoist priest’s expression that even if he held a knife to his neck, he wouldn’t divulge any information to him.
Who am I really?
This most basic question, which an ordinary person should know from birth, why has it become a secret to me?
Ye Tian thought carefully and then asked, “Taoist Wu Chen, you said I am not an ordinary person and my wife is an ordinary person, so my wife and I cannot have offspring together!
But, this situation shouldn’t be permanent, right?
There should be a way to change it, right?”
“Well…” Wu Chen the Taoist priest still shook his head, then said, “Sir, changing the destiny of ordinary people is trivial and does not matter much, but if it’s you, if I help you defy heaven and change your fate, then it would reveal heavenly secrets, and I would be struck by lightning and executed, my body dismembered!”
“…”
Wu Chen the Taoist priest continued to withhold information, and Ye Tian also seemed somewhat helpless.
However, since Ye Tian had come to the Laojun Temple, he naturally did not plan to return empty-handed!
“Taoist Wu Chen, your fellow disciple Master Zhang once taught me a Cultivation Technique, saying that once I cultivate it, I can change my constitution, ensuring harmony with my wife for a hundred years and a house full of children and grandchildren.
Are you aware of this technique?”
As he spoke, Ye Tian began to demonstrate the peculiar Cultivation Technique taught to him by Master Zhang in front of Taoist Wu Chen.
Though Taoist Wu Chen was not looking, he could judge by the wind and sense Ye Tian’s movements, quickly understanding the nature of the martial arts Master Zhang had taught to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian saw a surprised expression emerge on Taoist Wu Chen’s face…
“Sir, is this really the Cultivation Technique my fellow disciple taught you?”
Taoist Wu Chen asked incredulously, and Ye Tian immediately nodded.
“Of course, it was taught to me by Master Zhang.
I wouldn’t lie about such a matter!
Master Zhang once told me that after cultivating this technique, my constitution changed, the flow of air and veins in my body became smoother, and my strength greatly increased, indescribably exhilarating!
Taoist Wu Chen, what exactly is this technique?”
Ye Tian’s question made Taoist Wu Chen forcefully slap the table!
“How could my fellow disciple be so negligent!
Not clearly seeing your identity, yet he passed on a technique that could change your constitution to you!
Does he not realize that such an action could bring disaster upon him?”
Taoist Wu Chen agonized, showing great disappointment about Master Zhang teaching the technique to Ye Tian…
Ye Tian could also hear, even though Wu Chen was very secretive, that in his words he let slip that the technique Master Zhang taught was really effective for changing his constitution; in other words, this peculiar technique was genuinely effective for him!
“Taoist Wu Chen, since you’ve said as much, it seems that this technique does change my body.
You said I’m not an ordinary person; does that mean if I cultivate this technique, I could become an ordinary person then?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, and Wu Chen the Taoist priest could only sigh and say, “Sir, are you perhaps thinking too simplistically?
How could a constitution that is not ordinary become ordinary just by cultivating a mere technique?
This technique is indeed useful for you, but it cannot change your identity.
Sir, the blood lineage you possess is no longer merely describable by the words ‘royal nobility.’ In fact, what is called ‘royal nobility’ is ordinary, while you, sir, possess an extraordinary bloodline!
Thus, you should sooner abandon the thought of becoming ordinary, as your identity is something others dream of attaining!”
“…”
The words of Taoist Wu Chen left Ye Tian unsure how to respond.
According to Wu Chen, his background was not only rich and noble but also surpassed that of ordinary beings, yet such an existence even made it impossible for his wife, Yun Xinyan, to conceive.
Then what use was such an identity?
Seeing Ye Tian’s speech falter, Wu Chen knew he was in low spirits and thus comforted him, “Sir, do not worry because of this!
Since ancient times, those extraordinary compared to ordinary people have been plenty, each carrying an unparalleled heavy responsibility!
Fuxi, with the Heavenly Emperor’s bloodline, a human head and snake body, was the origin of the entire Chinese civilization; Huangdi, with a human body and a dragon tail, swallowed up all of China, establishing an unprecedented dynasty; Zhang Sanfeng, with an aura of a celestial Taoist, founded the Wudang Sect and was celebrated by everyone…
The other party actually listed many mythical figures for her, besides Zhang Sanfeng, the others had no historical basis whatsoever.
Using these people as examples was something Ye Tian was rather unwilling to do!
“Master Wu Chen, I am just a minor character who wants to lead a normal life.
I do not wish to do anything out of the ordinary, which is not in line with my style!
So, Master, I just want to ask, what exactly is the Cultivation Technique Master Zhang taught me?
This shouldn’t reveal any divine secrets, right?”
Ye Tian urged.
Master Wu Chen was silent for a moment before he could only nod in agreement.
“Layperson, actually, this Cultivation Technique was taught to me and my junior brother by my master, and it originated from the ancient ‘Innate Cultivation Technique’.
Unfortunately, when my master taught it to us, it had already become incomplete.
Therefore, what you, layperson, have learned is also the incomplete ‘Innate Cultivation Technique’.”
“The incomplete text of the Innate Cultivation Technique?”
The words of Master Wu Chen made Ye Tian slightly stunned.
As a martial arts practitioner, Ye Tian naturally had heard of the renowned Innate Cultivation Technique; it was the favorite discipline of Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect.
However, from the tone of Master Wu Chen, it seemed that this Innate Cultivation Technique was not the same martial art!
“Master, what exactly is the Innate Cultivation Technique?
What kind of impact can it have on my body after cultivation?”
Ye Tian asked urgently, and since Master Wu Chen had already informed Ye Tian about the name of the Innate Cultivation Technique, he naturally wouldn’t keep anything else hidden from Ye Tian…
“Layperson, in fact, the Innate Cultivation Technique, as the name suggests, allows the cultivator to revert from the acquired state back to the innate state, which is back to the form within the mother’s womb, accumulating True Yuan.
In this way, the martial arts realm of the cultivator can greatly improve!”
“Hehehe~~~~~ So that’s it!”
Ye Tian chuckled; Master Wu Chen’s words were not far off from what Mr.
Ye Zhirong had told him.
No matter how he looked at it, cultivating this Cultivation Technique was all beneficial and not harmful to him!
Ye Tian was quite pleased with himself when Master Wu Chen suddenly threw a damper on his mood…
“However, layperson, although cultivating the Innate Cultivation Technique is indeed beneficial for your body, the technique my junior brother taught you is still ultimately incomplete.
Because of this incompleteness, the effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced.
If forced cultivation is attempted, I fear it might cause adverse effects on the body!”
Master Wu Chen spoke earnestly, but Ye Tian just chuckled.
“Master, you can rest assured about this!
I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and by my twenties, I had already reached a certain level.
So, even if it is just the incomplete text of the Innate Cultivation Technique, I can still cultivate it smoothly, and it has already started showing results.”
As Ye Tian said, he knew Master Zhang had given him an incomplete technique right from the start.
Normally, one would cultivate Inner Strength before cultivating external skills.
But the incomplete Innate Cultivation Technique Master Zhang taught him comprised only external skills and no Inner Strength!
Fortunately, Ye Tian was extremely perceptive, and with the characteristics of this Cultivation Technique itself, when he practiced the external skills, he could easily deduce its effects on Inner Strength.
Although still incomplete, it had already greatly benefited his own cultivation.
“Master Wu Chen, do you mean that if I can cultivate the complete Innate Cultivation Technique, my physique can be completely transformed, and as such, my wife and I would be able to have children, is that right?”
Ye Tian followed up; Master Wu Chen paused slightly before adding, “It might be said that way!
Layperson, once you revert to the innate state, the constraints of the acquired lineage would no longer bind you!
You and your wife could naturally have many descendants.
However, your descendants would still carry your bloodline and would also not be ordinary people, which is what is meant by the phrase ‘like human, not human’!”
Master Wu Chen spoke a phrase familiar to Ye Tian; the last time, it was precisely because Master Wu Chen mentioned these four words while fortune-telling from the bones for Ye Tian, that made Ye Tian’s heart slightly indignantly leave.
But this time, when Ye Tian heard these four words again, his heart felt exceptionally calm…
“Like human, not human,” these four words were not entirely derogatory; if his origins were as Master Wu Chen had described, then “like human, not human” could be considered commendatory…
“Master Wu Chen, since we’ve reached this point in our discussion, can you tell me where I can find the complete version of the Innate Cultivation Technique?
Telling me the location of the Innate Cultivation Technique surely can’t be considered as divulging divine secrets, right?”
Ye Tian asked with a smile, yet Master Wu Chen just sighed silently.
