Chapter 265: The Improved Mysterious Heaven Technique
Huo Yuhao thought to himself: "Finally, the castrated version of the Mysterious Heaven Technique has been completed."
In the original story, Huo Yuhao never fully mastered the Mysterious Heaven Technique, largely because the version he practiced was incomplete.
Otherwise, his Goddess' Tear wouldn't have failed to kill Di Tian.
Yes, Di Tian was a powerful soul beast, but compared to Angel God Qian Renxue, he was nothing.
Qian Renxue was a first class deity, ranking among the main gods of the Divine Realm.
Tang San's Goddess' Tear had the power to shatter her divine defense and nearly kill her all thanks to his fully mastered Mysterious Heaven Technique, along with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, all trained to the highest level.
However, Huo Yuhao's version of Goddess' Tear barely left Di Tian unable to fight back a massive difference in power.
As for Tang Wulin in Soul Land III, he trained in the authentic Mysterious Heaven Technique.
After all, he was Tang San's own son.
While Tang San loved to keep secrets, he wouldn't shortchange his own child.
The rest of Tang Sect's disciples, however, weren't as lucky.
Ever since Tang San founded Tang Sect in Douluo, the Mysterious Heaven Technique practiced by all disciples had been a castrated version.
The biggest omission was the method to unblock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
The excuse?
"It's too dangerous to unblock them so for their own safety, disciples shouldn't attempt it."
Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly.
"How convenient for Tang San."
A True Evolution
Electrolux said, *"Yuhao, I will now transmit the improved Mysterious Heaven Technique to you.
Relax your mind."*
As he spoke, white light radiated from his staff and poured into Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
At that moment, the full contents of the improved technique surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.
A wide grin spread across his face.
Why?
Because Electrolux had completely overhauled the technique!
The original Mysterious Heaven Technique followed Tang Sect's martial arts philosophy where removing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians breakthrough would permanently cap a practitioner's potential.
But Electrolux's version was fundamentally different.
He transformed the technique into one that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, strengthening both the body and spirit.
This was a complete rebirth of the technique.
Absorbing the Sun Moon Essence was actually very simple:
All one had to do was circulate the technique while basking in sunlight or moonlight, allowing the body to draw energy naturally.
It was similar to training the Purple Demon Eye, but far superior.
Why?
Because Purple Demon Eye could only be trained at dawn, during the short window of "Purple Qi Rising".
Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Essence Technique could be trained all day and night.
A Revelation from History
Curious, Huo Yuhao asked, "Teacher, how did you think of modifying it this way?"
Electrolux chuckled.
*"Yuhao, as my strength gradually returns, I've been studying Douluo's soul beast history.
I came across a legend stating that Dragon God was born from the Sun and Moon Essence, which split into Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon.
Golden Dragon absorbed the essence of the sun, representing ultimate power.
Silver Dragon absorbed the essence of the moon, representing elemental mastery and unparalleled spirit power.
I found this fascinating, so I used it as inspiration to modify the Mysterious Heaven Technique."*
He then sighed.
*"Honestly, reworking this technique was far easier than crafting a divine artifact.
Yuhao, I believe that with this improved version, you will surpass all previous limits."*
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully.
He recalled that this Dragon God legend did indeed appear in Soul Land II: Peerless Tang Sect.
Of course, later in the story, this origin was partly overturned.
The Golden Dragon was actually the Golden Dragon King, and the Silver Dragon was the Silver Dragon King.
But their true origin was not the Sun and Moon Essence they were split from the Dragon God by the Asura Sword.
However, in the Tang Universe, contradictions can always be explained away.
For instance, perhaps the Dragon God absorbed Sun and Moon Essence long before consuming Chaos Energy making both legends true.
After all, human records of Dragon God history were bound to have errors.
With the inherent hostility between humans and soul beasts, obtaining accurate first hand history was nearly impossible.
A New Name for a New Technique
Huo Yuhao looked at Electrolux.
*"Teacher, the name Mysterious Heaven Technique no longer fits.
This new version is completely different shouldn't we rename it?"*
Electrolux agreed.
"Good idea. Why don't you name it?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment before replying.
"Since this technique strengthens me by absorbing Sun and Moon Essence, I think it should be called Sun Moon Profound Art."
The First Trial
At dawn the next day, atop a mountain outside Mingdu, Huo Yuhao sat cross legged.
As the golden sun rose through the mist, he began practicing Sun Moon Profound Art.
The Sunlight Essence gathered around him, condensing into a golden radiance that surged over his body like ocean waves.
It felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring a deep, satisfying warmth permeating his bones.
With each inhale and exhale, the golden energy moved like tides, continuously fluctuating and circulating.
Time passed.
When the sun set, the gentle moonlight bathed the land like flowing mercury.
Huo Yuhao was now enveloped in silver light, and at that moment
His Destiny Eye appeared on his forehead.
Silver moonlight gathered around it, and for a brief moment, a silver hue flickered within his eye
But then it vanished.
Huo Yuhao exhaled deeply.
His glistening eyes reflected his newfound strength.
Although he had trained for an entire day, he felt no exhaustion whatsoever.
Instead, he felt refreshed his mind sharper than ever.
Activating his spiritual power, he carefully examined his current condition.
*"The Sunlight Essence strengthens the body.
The Moonlight Essence enhances spiritual power.
Compared to before, both my physical strength and spirit energy have significantly improved."*
*"The Sun Moon Profound Art has ten levels.
Right now, I am still at the first level but once I reach the second, I won't need to meditate anymore.
Even while walking, I will passively absorb Sun and Moon Essence."*
"However… there is one drawback."
*"This technique doesn't allow fasting.
I must eat regularly.
Since I already ate breakfast and lunch, but skipped dinner, I should head down to the academy cafeteria now."*
It was a minor inconvenience.
But compared to the overwhelming benefits, it was hardly worth mentioning.
