The Shadow of Immortality

Chapter 63: The Poisonous Cave and the Extreme Technique


Song Baijun was the last to enter the cave of the Three Tyrants. The Demon inheritance was represented in each through a specific path, and only that path could be used.

But what happened to Zhong Baijun was bullying due to his and blood path cultivator Feng Lao's loss.

He and his sect were shamefully marginalized in the "Eternal Sect of Demon Execution."

A righteous sect proud of fighting followers of the Demon path, but hypocritical, seeing only self-interest.

They volunteered to invade Clarke's dream world and failed, also losing shamefully.

Zhong Baijun entered - possessing Master comprehension in the Blade Path and Lord comprehension in the Earth Path.

His weaknesses were the investigative and deductive techniques from the Path of Stars.

The plan of the expedition leader, Su Tai Hun, was:

•"Every two people must enter the three caves to reach the Immortal consciousness or the arrangements, for ultimately, there is the true inheritance and the fake inheritance."

•"The information we have: The left cave belongs to the Blade Saint Qing. I, your leader, will enter it, with Bo Lan. Since he cultivates the Blade Path laterally, he will also benefit."

•"Secondly: The Heaven Path will be entered by Wu Chou Fei and Yang Sa."

He continued with a malicious glance directed at Song Baijun:

•"The Poison Path: Song Baijun and Lady Hai Lu Lan, a cultivator of the Poison and Body Path."

Song Baijun was furious! He was placed in a despicable position because his comprehension in the Poison Path was empty. He had never once in his life focused on a poisonous extreme technique. Now his life was in Hai Lu Lan's hands.

A sinister figure was observing the events. He wasn't listening from his spot, but his eye was fixed on Song Baijun not for revenge, but to kill him and steal his soul for interrogation.

But Clarke had to either refine one of the paths in this absurd inheritance or be lucky enough that Song Baijun was in the Darkness inheritance or one of Clarke's strong paths.

Clarke ruled out the existence of the Theft Path, as Clarke combined Darkness, the Soul Path, and the Dream World Cicada, thus forming his first extreme technique. No inspiration had yet come for another technique: "The Heaven-Stealing Heavenly Fist."

Clarke was excited but decided to remain calm.

Clarke told Ma Chengsu that Song Baijun and the girl beside him were their targets and that they would follow them to kill them.

Everyone entered. Ma Chengsu said to Clarke:

•"Come on, it's our time!"

But the World appeared behind Clarke and grabbed Ma Chengsu's shoulder. A sacred stellar aura surrounded the World, and his golden head armor and giant clock on his back indicated temporal Dao Marks.

Ma Chengsu sensed danger, expecting an attack from Clarke, but:

•"Stop, you fool! Who will enter now? They are probably waiting for us to enter to kill us."

•"They aren't fools not to know. I managed to hide our auras, but perhaps there is an expert among them higher than me who discovered us."

•"And I also want to find their method to reach our world."

Clarke was trying to deduce something difficult, like their landing location. He wanted to know the place, but it was hard.

Two hours passed, and Clarke found nothing at all.

Clarke was angry! It seemed their method of arrival was from the outside, not the inside. Even if they wanted to return, they had to contact the outside.

Clarke asked Mao Hua:

•"Is there a way to communicate with the Immortal world? Can you give it to me?"

Mao Hua replied:

•"I can't give you anything; even the system's special shop doesn't sell it."

•"But they certainly all possess information transmission cups for communication."

Clarke laughed: "So he just needs that cup! Well, Song Baijun, I won't rest until I kill you and take your soul!"

Clarke was on his way, rushing at an incredible speed. His gaze was filled with a thirst for benefits.

He thought: What if he obtained Song Baijun's soul and cooperated with his sect? Perhaps Song Baijun's sect would support him, or, even greater, transfer him to the Immortal world.

But Clarke quickly dismissed that idea, for he would be like a tiger going to the guillotine to be executed.

Finally, Clarke arrived. He focused on the third door that Song Baijun and the girl with him had entered.

Song Baijun was a middle-aged man with mediocre achievements. Even if he became Immortal, he might die due to age.

It was intriguing that those in the mortal world found extreme techniques for lifespan extension more than them! And although their lifespans didn't exceed 200 years, even they found it difficult to find more.

Truly, death is hard to escape! With zombie methods, it wasn't difficult.

But as soon as Clarke opened the door, a strange green light shone, and he was pulled inside.

It was terrifying! Initially, a horrifying tornado appeared. Its winds were extremely powerful and pierced the metals forming the place.

Clarke repeated in the corners of his mind:

•"This place is special - specifically the Space Path. I wish I could get just a part of it."

•"But this tornado, even a fool can tell it's a test."

•"And since this is a Poison inheritance, I don't rule out that this tornado, if it hits me, could kill me either with poisons or by slicing me like bread. Those are two bad deaths."

•"Also, the other problem is that I will use mortal skills. It's true I can still use investigative methods from the Path of Stars, but any attack from any path I cannot use. The Cicada, the Darkness Path, all refuse to work."

•"The Mantis... the Time Scroll Venerable told me about this, but I didn't understand its use. He said it was just the key to his inheritance."

•"The name of this Mantis's extreme technique is to act... it's just a small boat. That's its name."

Clarke didn't understand why it was named that exactly and hadn't tried to do anything with it due to its importance to him.

These thoughts were rapid. Clarke could think like this in seconds. His brain worked at super speed, like a steam engine.

Clarke boldly decided to see what would happen to him if he touched this tornado.

He charged at a mad speed. He moved gracefully, but was shocked that the tornado was avoiding him!

Soon, Clarke followed it and touched it, then it dissipated strangely.

Ma Chengsu was terrified! He didn't understand what happened.

Soon, Clarke heard in his ear:

•"So, you are from my world? Well, you may proceed. Remember, the way out is difficult; even I gave up on that idea."

Clarke didn't understand what the mysterious voice meant.

But another door appeared strangely, and he transferred to another place.

He successfully entered!

There were two stone slabs with the two extreme techniques. They were the same thing, but one for Clarke and one for Ma Chengsu. The inheritance was strange and knew about those entering and leaving.

The fog was strangely thick but didn't hinder Clarke's good vision.

Currently, the two - indeed, it was part of their plan - had to master the two extreme techniques in their hands.

Clarke comprehended it. It resembled a snail but was strangely green.

Clarke tried to use it, but it was just gas!

Clarke was terrified! He wondered about the disaster he had fallen into. Ma Chengsu was horrified after Clarke told him about the comprehension method. He was shocked by the technique's weakness and triviality.

But Clarke believed they would find something.

Currently, they needed to explore, reconnoiter, and find a shelter far from their enemies.

The two advanced. Soon, Clarke felt the presence of a strange beast!

It had a fox's tail, a snake's head, a tiger's body, and a massive build.

Clarke asked Mao Hua:

•"What is this thing? And why is it so gigantic and strong?"

Mao Hua replied:

•"This is an ancient celestial beast of the lower category of celestial beasts."

•"And it possesses a poisonous extreme technique. It will benefit you, Clarke. Try to kill it."

Easier said than done! That beast wasn't easy; Clarke knew its strength was high thanks to his deductions.

But he calmed down and decided to study the extreme technique he had.

He memorized the location of this beast and set out to search for an extreme technique he inquired about.

It was called "Poison Explosion." If Clarke merged it with the poisonous gas, a tremendous explosion would occur, making it easy to kill this lower category beast.

He finally found it after a search equivalent to half a day (half an hour outside the Immortal consciousness).

It was a wild extreme technique he found by chance, and Mao Hua confirmed it was the one.

In truth, if he could use it, he would possess an excellent extreme technique, and Clarke could use it even outside.

But Clarke had to lure it to catch it.

This lethal technique was in the form of an ant glowing with yellow light, the size of a thumb or slightly larger.

Clarke had to observe it because that ant, amazingly, had wings!

Ma Chengsu was following Clarke without knowing anything. It was hard for him to see through the fog. He didn't know what Clarke was watching, and Clarke unfairly avoided answering him.

Clarke kept watching that ant like a tiger.

That ant was looking for a drink.

Clarke tried and took out from his supplies the "White Fragrance Wine" famous in Buddhist sects.

Soon, the ant went to drink it! Clarke was shocked as he had placed both wine and water, and it left the water and drank the wine!

Clarke laughed in his mind:

•"Good! Now I can say I have a good poison attack! Hahahahaha!"
