Chapter 764 - 760: Frantic Scramble

Chapter 764: Chapter 760: Frantic Scramble

Dugu Shang was about to use a divine sense transmission, but Lin Hao shook his head. "They’re not outsiders. Just say it out loud."

It wasn’t just that they weren’t outsiders; even if they were, Lin Hao wouldn’t have been afraid. Although the *Primordial Undying Scripture* was created by Emperor Hongtian out of boredom, not just anyone could cultivate it.

Taking a step back, even if someone could cultivate it to the pinnacle of perfection, they would still have no combat strength to speak of in front of Lin Hao.

But these words sounded different to Xi Chenghua and the others. They all looked thrilled.

After a moment of surprise, Dugu Shang nodded and directly recited the mantra for the *Primordial Undying Scripture*.

"No, no, that’s not right. It should be like this." Shaking his head, Lin Hao took a step forward and tapped a finger between Dugu Shang’s eyebrows.

Instantly, the mantra for a brand-new *Primordial Undying Scripture* poured into Dugu Shang’s mind.

Dugu Shang processed the mantra. A few breaths later, his eyes lit up.

Although the mantra only had subtle differences, the actual cultivation would produce earth-shattering changes!

This was the *Primordial Undying Scripture* that was most suited for him!

At that, Dugu Shang became completely engrossed and actually began to cultivate on the spot.

Before long, a vast and terrifying aura erupted from Dugu Shang’s body.

Xi Chenghua and the others felt as if their blood was flowing in reverse!

Their faces changed. This was only the beginning, yet it already possessed such might. If it were allowed to continue, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all.

Fortunately, Lin Hao made his move.

He took a single step, positioning himself in front of Dugu Shang, and the pressure instantly vanished.

Xi Chenghua and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Their eyes held a mix of envy and regret.

It was a pity that their cultivation had reached the Sealed Martial Realm; it was now impossible for them to switch their Cultivation Technique.

Moreover, it was impossible to improve their current Cultivation Techniques. Not even those in the Yin-Yang Realm or the Small Nirvana Realm could do so!

Unless it was a Saint, no one could accomplish such a feat.

But a Saint hadn’t appeared in ten thousand years.

At this moment, they actually wished their cultivation was still at the Soul Gathering Realm.

Because at the Soul Gathering Realm, one could choose their final Cultivation Technique. The more powerful the technique, the further they could advance on their martial path.

Lin Hao saw their expressions, smiled faintly, and then spoke, "I just tried modifying the Cultivation Techniques you practice. Are you willing to give them a try?"

Xi Chenghua and the others’ eyes widened. They were stunned.

’Our Cultivation Techniques can be modified?!’

’Our Young Master can do something only a Saint can do?!’

Their minds were a complete mess, unable to process anything.

At this, Lin Hao rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward.

A flash of annoyance passed, but Lin Hao quickly let it go. ’Practicing a modified Cultivation Technique so rashly is too risky. If it were me, I wouldn’t agree so easily either.’

With this thought, Lin Hao gave a nonchalant smile.

But a moment later, Lin Hao was startled by Xi Chenghua and the others.

SWISH!

Xi Chenghua and the others suddenly moved, their explosive speed comparable to Xiu Xiu’s.

They shot over, ignoring all sense of propriety, and grabbed Lin Hao’s arms, their eyes bloodshot. Their gazes were filled with a craving like a child begging an adult for their favorite candy.

"Young Master, I’m willing to try!"

"I got here first, so I should be first!"

"It was obviously me! Get lost, you lot!"

The trio of Xi Chenghua, Lao Xuexin, and Zhao Yuanzhong began to squabble. Bai Yu and Xu Zihao, who had been looking vexed at the back, saw this and immediately shot toward Lin Hao as well.

After all, their cultivation wasn’t high enough, so they had been a step too slow.

Now that an opportunity had presented itself, the two of them naturally wouldn’t miss it.

But who would have thought that Xi Chenghua and the other two were so cunning? They acted together, blasting the pair away before resuming their fight.

Lin Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to put on a stern face and tell them to stop.

This time, they all behaved.

Lin Hao didn’t say anything more. He acted directly, tapping each of them between the eyebrows and instantly infusing their respective Cultivation Techniques into their minds.

Except, of course, for Xu Zihao.

"Your Cultivation Technique is already the most compatible for you. I don’t plan on modifying it."

Xu Zihao nodded.

In the time it took to say this, the others’ eyes suddenly snapped open.

They all looked at Lin Hao, the shock in their eyes beyond description.

In that brief instant, they already knew that this modified Cultivation Technique was countless times stronger than their previous one!

Lin Hao was only at the Sealed Martial Realm Fourth Layer, yet he had actually modified their Cultivation Techniques and multiplied their power. This was simply a miracle!

Seeing their expressions, Lin Hao was also very pleased. He smiled and said, "Don’t get happy too soon. Try cultivating with it."

"It works! It definitely works!" Xi Chenghua’s face was flushed red, and his body was trembling as he spoke.

Lin Hao’s face fell. "Cultivate first, talk later!"

Xi Chenghua immediately became as docile as a lamb, sitting cross-legged and beginning to cultivate.

The others did the same.

With four people cultivating simultaneously in front of him, Xu Zihao, who wasn’t cultivating, felt immense pressure.

He was just about to retreat when an idea struck Lin Hao.

"Brother Xu, I have an idea, though I’m not sure if I should say it."

"Boss, go ahead and say it," Xu Zihao replied immediately, his form of address having changed.

Lin Hao frowned slightly but didn’t dwell on the change in address—this wasn’t the time. "You can try cultivating next to me. If you can maintain a balance against the pressure from both sides, it will benefit your training."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zihao’s eyes lit up.

Although this would be an extremely dangerous process, desperate situations could stimulate one’s potential.

Crouching low, it took Xu Zihao a full quarter of an hour to get near Lin Hao.

And that was only because they had just started cultivating; otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

The suppressive force from the others was just too strong.

"Everything depends on you now, because I can barely protect myself."

Lin Hao sent this sentence via divine sense transmission.

Lin Hao had been able to help Xi Chenghua and the others resist Dugu Shang’s aura purely because the *Primordial Undying Scripture* was created by Emperor Hongtian.

Now, with Xi Chenghua and the other three cultivating simultaneously, the powerful fluctuations pressing down were becoming a bit much for even Lin Hao to handle.

Xu Zihao nodded.

After regulating his breathing for a moment, he began to cultivate.

Lin Hao very carefully released a suppressive aura, stopping only when a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Xu Zihao’s mouth.

This was the maximum intensity Xu Zihao could currently withstand.

After doing all this, Lin Hao closed his eyes. He opened them again after a few breaths.

’I need to start cultivating too, or I’ll never be able to cross this vast Ancient Realm.’ Lin Hao muttered, then also sat cross-legged.

As soon as he sat down, blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

This was a result Lin Hao had intentionally brought about.

The reason Lin Hao could withstand Dugu Shang’s pressure was because of the *Divine Illumination Scripture*. But in order to cultivate, Lin Hao stopped using it.

Instantly, the immense pressure from Dugu Shang’s cultivation washed over Lin Hao like a tidal wave.

Lin Hao’s body was battered by several forces.

But in the end, Lin Hao held on. His body remained ramrod straight as he began to cultivate.

Just as Lin Hao also entered a meditative state, the void was silently torn open.
