Chapter 1222 Simultaneous Cultivation
Chen Yang had come specifically to inquire about cultivation techniques this time, so he naturally hid nothing about how he obtained them.
After recounting the events truthfully, Wu Min looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.
After much deliberation, he finally said, "The origin of this cultivation technique is profound."
"Even where we come from, this technique is extremely famous."
"However, no one cultivates it."
Chen Yang was puzzled. "Why? If it's a very famous technique, shouldn't many people be cultivating it?"
"Could it be..."
A shocking image immediately appeared in Chen Yang's mind.
"Could it be that this technique also has some taboos?"
Chen Yang frowned. He had cultivated several of the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets.
Yet, he had experienced no discomfort so far.
This left Chen Yang bewildered.
Wu Min slowly shook his head. Seeing Chen Yang's tense expression, he said with a wry smile, "The reason isn't as terrifying as you think. It's actually very simple."
"This technique, put plainly, is about reaching the extreme in cultivation."
"It appears powerful in the early stages, but delving deeper is exceptionally difficult."
"Furthermore, these Nine Secrets are not independent powers. They require simultaneous cultivation; otherwise, one will hit a bottleneck at a certain stage."
Wu Min had suspected the cultivation technique Chen Yang was practicing for a long time.
After all, it was famous, and if few people cultivated it, it didn't mean no one did.
The strength Chen Yang displayed at the time was indeed not weak.
Wu Min had thought Chen Yang had already grasped the secrets of the Nine Heavenly Witch techniques.
But now, it seemed he had been overthinking things.
Not only did Chen Yang not know the secrets of this technique, but he was also unaware of its origins.
He truly didn't understand... how this fellow managed to cultivate it successfully!
"Ah? No wonder. Before, the Heavenly Swift Secret I practiced from the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets."
"At first, I thought it was just something that increased speed, but now I realize its later stages even involve space."
"If not for what you taught me before, I would still be only scratching the surface."
Chen Yang had to admit this.
The power of the Heavenly Swift Secret was not merely what he comprehended on his own.
Wu Min greatly appreciated Chen Yang's words and nodded with satisfaction. "The Spatial Secret is something I created by integrating many elements. Although it has no destructive power, its terror is no less than a divine ability."
"Don't underestimate the power of Shi Xinchou's divine abilities; when faced with spatial manipulation, he would still have to rely on me."
Saying that, Wu Min waved his hand. "The topic has strayed again."
"You mentioned earlier that you are currently cultivating three techniques: the Heavenly Swift, the Fire Secret, and the Earth Secret?"
"Then this is quite interesting. I've never heard of these being cultivated individually before."
Wu Min frowned, scrutinizing Chen Yang. "Are you truly experiencing no discomfort?"
Chen Yang simply shook his head and chuckled awkwardly. "I've checked meticulously, and there are absolutely no issues."
"The technique I've cultivated the longest is called the Heavenly Physician Art."
"If there were any internal injuries to the body, it's impossible I wouldn't notice them at all, and my spiritual power is also not weak..."
If it were about other matters, Chen Yang might not have absolute confidence, but this involved his medical skills!
It's difficult for a physician to heal themselves, but to be unable to detect their own injuries would be too much.
Chen Yang couldn't bear such a grievance.
Seeing Chen Yang become so emotional towards the end, Wu Min quickly pressed his hand. "Ahem, don't get agitated!"
"We're just having a chat, aren't we?"
After much discussion, Wu Min could only voice his conjecture. "That would mean your Heavenly Physician Art is the issue."
"According to you, your Heavenly Physician Art might be able to supplement the flaws of the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets."
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.
"What are the flaws of the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets? Even you ancient martial artists cannot resolve them?"
"You can't, and those Nascent Souls can't either?"
Chen Yang was clearly dissatisfied with this answer.
Reaching the Nascent Soul stage was not achieved solely by accumulating spirit stones and pills.
Such a powerful technique, even with flaws, shouldn't be so easily dismissed.
Wu Min took out his treasured immortal wine, poured Chen Yang a cup, and then slowly said, "You've really hit the nail on the head with your question."
"What I'm about to tell you is a secret, something even Shi Xinchou and the others might not know."
At this moment, a rare, sincere smile appeared on Wu Min's face.
"The Nine Secrets are fully called the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets. The 'Nine Secrets' part is easy to understand, referring to nine secret methods."
"But do you know what 'Heavenly Witch' in front means?"
Wu Min answered his own question, his wine cup trembling slightly. "It's a race!"
"An exceptionally powerful, yet extinct race."
"The name 'Nine Secrets' was actually a later addition. I don't know, or rather, no one knows, how many true Heavenly Witch secret techniques there were."
Seeing the shock and confusion in Chen Yang's eyes, Wu Min whispered, "I've traveled to many places before, and I've seen some inheritances of the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets, but they were very weak, so weak that they couldn't even defeat those in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Those high-and-mighty Nascent Souls naturally wouldn't be interested in such things."
"The so-called flaws were also something I figured out myself."
Wu Min's excitement grew as he spoke.
This was information he had painstakingly gathered over a hundred years.
If he hadn't met Chen Yang, he wouldn't have revealed all this.
Firstly, not many people understood the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets, and secondly, although Wu Min didn't want to admit it, he was a person who was very difficult to approach.
"Those who cultivate the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets either cannot cultivate other techniques from birth, or their meridians disappear and weaken after cultivation."
"Of course, they do possess greater strength among those of the same realm!"
"Many of the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets, in my opinion, are similar to divine abilities."
Wu Min stared intently at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang could clearly see the madness hidden deep within his eyes.
"Hmm... You looking at me like this makes me uneasy. If you want to learn, I can teach you!"
Chen Yang thought Wu Min wanted to learn the Nine Heavenly Witch Secrets.
"I don't want to learn. It's already difficult for one person to comprehend a single divine ability, and I have my own path to follow."
"I'm just very curious, how many types of divine abilities will you possess in the end?"
