Chapter 673: Dai Gang’s Secret
Translator: Irene_ Editor: X, TYZ
Le Buleng stared at Dai Gang's broken wrists. They were white and lustrous, somewhat like jade yet not, and somewhat like wood yet not.
He mumbled to himself, "I see, I see. Body of grasscord and white lotus… Unexpected, how unexpected. I've fought so many battles against you, but failed to notice. An undying body… I never imagined anyone would actually reach that level."
With a slight smile, Dai Gang replied, "You have good judgment, Brother Buleng. [Grasscord] is a product from my traveling days, when I chanced upon a few netherworld lotus seeds in the hall of Daya. From there, I received significant enlightenment."
Flesh grew from his broken wrists at a visible rate, forming two perfectly new palms.
Dai Gang's voice carried a magnetic charm that reminded people of the spring breeze.
Le Buleng's eyes were brightly lit at this point. The thrill inspired him. When it came to training, he never was one to follow conventions. The absolute arts he had created were all bewildering, yet revealing of his talents.
Dai Gang's brief summary had already sparked ideas in Le Buleng's head. He mumbled, "Netherworld lotus seeds? I got it. They're a perfect match for the [Lotus Chiropractic Technique]. With [Grasscord] as a complement, an undying body can be achieved? But that's not enough since it's only a shell. How then, can it be perfected? Something is lacking, something crucial…"
His eyes beamed suddenly, his expression exuberant. "[Life and Death Command]! Could it be the [Life and Death Command]? Hahaha, I got it! Living through death! Commendable! How impressive! It's no wonder you're a Grandmaster! It's only logical!"
Dai Gang was taken aback, but he quickly sighed and shook his head. "I had thought that the only person who could possibly unravel my secret was the Holy Emperor, but who knew it would be you, Brother Buleng."
As if he hadn't heard, Le Buleng continued mumbling to himself, "Yeah, living through death and stimulating a wisp of life along the boundary of life and death. That's the key to an undying body. What a genius! A step ahead of me in fact."
Le Buleng seemed to have gone insane.
He raised his head all of a sudden, his eyes fixed meaningfully onto Dai Gang. "What does death feel like?"
Dai Gang shuddered, and his perpetually cheerful face twitched a little. Reverence, enthusiasm, fear, infatuation… his face was a blend of all these intense emotions.
With a bitter smile he stated, "Indescribable."
In response, Le Buleng released a long breath. "Must've been unusual. How I yearn for it."
The fervor in his eyes gradually faded, and he returned to his normal state. "Walking on the boundary of life and death while defying fate… it's definitely a first. It might not be the last, but definitely the first. I'd never been impressed by you in the past, but things have changed! Please share its name."
"[White Lotus Revival Technique]," Dai Gang acceded.
Le Buleng nodded. "[White Lotus Revival Technique]. Living up to its name indeed. Many incomprehensible details have been cleared up."
Dai Gang laughed involuntarily. "What were you uncertain about?"
"The reason you turned your back against the Avalon of Five Elements and established the Jadeite Forest. The reason you were so interested in God's blood."
Dai Gang stared blankly as Le Buleng spoke.
Le Buleng's voice was very calm and emotionless, as if relaying an irrelevant story. "[White Lotus Revival Technique] is indeed an amazing achievement, but not flawless. That new wisp of life is merely the beginning. Much more vigor is required to maintain your undying body. God's blood has ample vigor and is the best material for replenishing your undying body as a result. A pity it is difficult to get a hold of it. Without a complete [White Lotus Revival Technique], you had no confidence in beating the Holy Emperor and hence chose to establish the Jadeite Forest."
The sky was much quieter as even the wind had stopped blowing. There only was Le Buleng's piercing voice now.
