Chapter 1841: How Could He Possibly Know?

Sky Flipping Palm, a Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique that Fan Yulin inadvertently learned during an external mission, is rarely used even at the Emperor Canglong Palace Headquarters.

Thus, few are familiar with this technique. It seems Fan Yulin shows no contempt for Yun Xiao, even if he is just a lower cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Realm.

Due to Yun Xiao’s earlier stunning performance against the two elders of the palace, Fan Yulin realized this youth was far from the surface simplicity, as his peak Heavenly Realm cultivation slightly mismatched his true combat power.

Fan Yulin began with his Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique, Sky Flipping Palm, hoping to swiftly defeat the boy in his moment of pride, and show the remaining palace elders the might of the Emperor Palace Inspection Hall Steward.

Fan Yulin is confident in the power of his Sky Flipping Palm, knowing that mastering it to the Great Achievement Realm, though not really capable of overturning the heavens, could render him invincible against early-stage Hua Xuan Realm opponents.

"A Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique? As if no one else has it!"

Seeing the massive Meridian Qi Palm Seal pressing furiously towards him, a cold smile flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, followed by a cold voice clearly heard by all onlookers.

"Could this boy, at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, possibly wield a Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique?"

The elders were thrown into chaos at that moment, their hearts filled with disbelief because if a Heavenly Realm cultivator attempted to train a Holy Rank Pulse Technique, he might suffer a fatal backlash.

On this continent, whether it’s cultivation techniques or meridian techniques, including refining meridian spirits, one must recognize one’s cultivation strength. Recklessly attempting higher-level cultivation would lead to severe consequences.

Fan Yulin had witnessed an Emperor Palace cultivator who forcibly trained a Holy Rank Intermediate Meridian Technique during the Hua Xuan Realm, ending up crippling his left hand, dramatically reducing his strength.

Not to mention the vast gap between the Heavenly Rank Third Realm and Holy Vein Three Realms, at this moment Fan Yulin believed Yun Xiao was rampantly boasting, as the meridian technique he could use likely capped at Half-step Saint Rank, perhaps just Heavenly Rank Advanced.

Yet Fan Yulin was unaware that the rugged-clad youth before him was not comparable to ordinary peak Heavenly Realm cultivators; his past life as Dragon Cloud War God offered Yun Xiao invaluable experience, his greatest advantage.

As a peak Holy Rank expert in his previous life, Yun Xiao’s mind contained countless meridian techniques, and he knew which suited his current cultivation, and which required further strength enhancement.

Among the myriad Holy Vein Low Level Meridian Techniques, Yun Xiao categorized them, having mastered several during this period, techniques that Fan Yulin couldn’t fathom.

"Jade Light Saint Finger!"

As Yun Xiao’s low voice echoed in his heart, the extended index and middle fingers of his right hand suddenly became crystal clear, resembling two jade fingers.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, a dazzling beam shot from Yun Xiao’s jade-illuminated fingers, forming in the sky two immensely long white jade fingers.

These radiating fingers looked like giant fingers, and Fan Yulin’s complexion changed drastically upon seeing them, seemingly reminded of something in that instant.

"This... Is this Jade Light Saint Finger? How could he know?"

Fan Yulin was stunned as if seeing a ghost, recalling the Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique that he had seen displayed by a powerful Cave Nether Realm expert at an Emperor Palace assembly.

Back then, the power of Jade Light Saint Finger performed by the Cave Nether Realm expert filled the newly broken through Fan Yulin at the Hua Xuan Realm early stage with envy.

However, prestigious techniques like Jade Light Saint Finger, even in the Emperor Canglong Palace, were considered highly advanced Heavenly Rank Low-Level techniques, reserved for distinguished palace members.

Fan Yulin, merely a minor steward in the Inspection Hall, hadn’t accomplished any significant feats over the years to merit being taught Jade Light Saint Finger, much to his frustration.

This time, Fan Yulin volunteered to capture the Emperor’s Pig Hand alive in Red Rock City, seeking favor from high-ranking figures and a chance to learn Jade Light Saint Finger.

Yet before achieving his goal, here emerged Yun Xiao displaying Jade Light Saint Finger, shocking Fan Yulin.

"Who is this boy?"

At this moment, Fan Yulin’s curiosity about Yun Xiao’s identity was endless, with Emperor Canglong personally issuing a warrant, and now he performed Jade Light Saint Finger, baffling beyond measure.

Moreover, Yun Xiao is just at the Heavenly Realm early stage, yet he wielded Jade Light Saint Finger with ease, showing years of immersion in the technique.

Yet he appears barely twenty, too young to have mastered a Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique without years of effort, leaving Fan Yulin unable to comprehend how Yun Xiao achieved it.

No matter how confused Fan Yulin was, the situation at this moment did not allow him to think any further, because the Sky Flipping Palm he had unleashed had already violently collided with the Jade Light Saint Finger, which emitted a crystalline jade light.

The destructive scenario imagined by the many elders of the Emperor Palace Headquarters did not appear, but under the clash of these two powerful techniques, the enormous palm and jade finger were astonishingly locked in a stalemate.

"It truly is a Holy Rank Low Level Pulse Technique!"

At this moment, the observing elders finally realized a fact: a technique unleashed by a Peak Cultivator in the Heavenly Realm could actually contend with the technique of an Early Stage Expert in the Hua Xuan Realm. This in itself was an extremely bizarre situation.

In this view, the finger technique unleashed by the young man Yun Xiao must be of a grade not lower than the Sky Flipping Palm. At this possibility, everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Within the domain of Red Rock City, the strongest was merely Supervisor Yu Baicang at the Half-step Holy Rank. It was usually hard to witness a Holy Rank Pulse Technique.

Unexpectedly, they witnessed two today, and it seemed that the finger technique Yun Xiao unleashed was much stronger than the hand technique Fan Yulin displayed.

Because the Meridian Qi Cultivation between the two was vastly different, relying solely on a single technique to fight, the implications were obvious. If these Heavenly Realm cultivators were to experience it, the outcome would be extremely tragic.

"Break for me!"

Just as many elders of the Emperor Palace Headquarters felt surprised, a sudden shout came from the Emperor Palace Inspection Hall Steward, who seemingly sensed something.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

After Fan Yulin’s violent shout fell, the aura of the Sky Flipping Palm surged, and those crystalline jade-like Meridian Qi fingers suddenly began to climb with fine cracks.

Clearly, in such a technique confrontation, relying on a single Holy Rank Low Level Pulse Technique, Yun Xiao ultimately couldn’t contend against an Early Stage Expert in the Hua Xuan Realm.

This was a contest of Meridian Qi foundations. Though Yun Xiao was strong in battle prowess, his Meridian Qi Cultivation was only at the Peak of the Heavenly Realm, providing little room for his advantages in such a Meridian Qi clash.

However, Yun Xiao merely intended to test the power of his Holy Rank Low Level Pulse Technique. Though he only lasted a few breaths under the Sky Flipping Palm, it was enough to satisfy his heart.

In fact, Yun Xiao never imagined that the Holy Rank Low Level Jade Light Saint Finger could defeat an Early Stage Expert in the Hua Xuan Realm.

Through this technique confrontation, Yun Xiao gained a more direct understanding of his battle prowess at the Peak of the Heavenly Realm and developed a deeper understanding of the opponent Fan Yulin.

"Activate the Ancestor Vein Power!"

As the Jade Light Saint Finger was shattering, a low murmur emanated in Yun Xiao’s heart. Subsequently, his full eleven strips of Ancestor Vein Power were unleashed without reservation.

Crash!

Yun Xiao secretly activated the Ancestor Vein Power, and the uncontrolled Jade Light Saint Finger finally couldn’t withstand the power of the Sky Flipping Palm, bursting with a booming sound. Energy fragments scattered, causing the nearby elders of the Emperor Palace Headquarters to hurriedly avoid.

"Heh heh, Yun Xiao, it seems you haven’t mastered the Jade Light Saint Finger yet!"

Fan Yulin, who shattered the Jade Light Saint Finger, was somewhat smug, as in his mind, the Jade Light Saint Finger represented an extraordinary significance, yet was shattered by his Sky Flipping Palm.

Regarding the power of the Jade Light Saint Finger, Fan Yulin certainly did not doubt it. He merely mocked Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation, feeling that such a Holy Rank Low Level Pulse Technique was wasted on this young lad.

"If I could obtain the cultivation method of the Jade Light Saint Finger..."

Fan Yulin thought a bit too much. He resolved to force out the cultivation method of the Jade Light Saint Finger from Yun Xiao as a trophy after crippling his limbs and Dantian.

Moreover, Fan Yulin considered that since the young man had cultivated the Jade Light Saint Finger, he might have other powerful Holy Rank Low Level Pulse Techniques, potentially earning him great fortune.

"Huh?"

However, when Fan Yulin was directing his Sky Flipping Palm towards Yun Xiao’s body, he suddenly noticed something amiss—the crude-clothed young man’s aura seemed different from before.

"Half-step Holy Rank?!"

It must be said that Fan Yulin’s sensing was quite sharp. With just a glance, he sensed that Yun Xiao had already broken through from the Peak of the Heavenly Realm to the Half-step Holy Rank, which filled his tone with a hint of surprise.
