The black gemstone in his hand was shaped like a heart. It was cold and prickly to the touch.
Gu Chen had experienced the extreme fear that even the leader of the Hidden Dragon Tribe, who had a cultivation base of Seven-fold Realm, had just taken over the gemstone.
However, before the fear could cause any chaos in his mind, it was dispersed by the boiling blood in his body.
Therefore, Gu Chen returned to normal in an instant. This evil gemstone could not do anything to the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body.
Playing with the gemstone in his hand, Gu Chen estimated that he was still some distance away from the border of the Swamp Kingdom. He started chatting with the Clay Bodhisattva.
"Did you end up hiding in the Great Ancient Swamp because of this gemstone? Although this gemstone is strange, it seems to be different from the orthodoxy that you're cultivating. Is it worth it? "Gu Chen asked calmly.
"I didn't steal it because of its value," the Clay Bodhisattva said while clenching his teeth. His expression was obviously not right.
"Oh? Is there something else? "Gu Chen asked.
The Clay Bodhisattva was silent. He watched as Gu Chen played with the Fear Stone as if it was an ordinary stone. Finally, he said, "The owner of this gemstone is the lord of the Fear Castle. He killed a close friend of mine. To take revenge, I stole this gemstone from him."
"So that's how it is. Is stealing his things enough to take revenge?" Gu Chen asked.
There was no malice in his words, but the Clay Bodhisattva felt uneasy. He even looked gloomy.
"Legend has it that there are five heart-shaped stones in the world. They are formed by the five emotions of countless living beings. There are many opinions on how the heart-shaped stones came about. There is no convincing answer. "
"However, everyone knows about the evil nature of the heart-shaped stones and its benefits to cultivators with special orthodoxies."
"The Fear Stone is one of the five heart-shaped stones. It is the amalgamation of fear in the world. The lord of the Fear Castle walked a very special path of fear. Therefore, the Fear Stone is a priceless treasure to him. It is even related to his future in cultivation. "
"Therefore, the fact that I stole the Fear Stone is worse than killing him!"
The Clay Bodhisattva revealed a sinister smile, as if he was very happy to have gotten his revenge.
However, Gu Chen felt that he was just trying to convince himself. He asked again, "Previously in the mud cave, you said that you were different from the Hidden Dragon Clan. You were just hiding your strength and biding your time. I wonder what you were referring to?"
A hint of depression flashed across the Clay Bodhisattva's face, and he quickly replied. "Of course I'm planning to leave the mountain again and steal to my heart's content. After all, I'm the number one thief in the world!"
"Is that so?" Gu Chen looked at him with a faint smile.
"What else?" The Clay Bodhisattva's face was burning.
"Which of the Three Thousand Minor Arts did you cultivate? It's quite mystical." Gu Chen changed the topic.
"Little Earth Magic! It is derived from the Great Earth Technique of the Eight Great Techniques! "
"The profundity of this technique is that it can fuse with the laws of the earth and change the nature of the soil at will."
"Depending on the person's understanding, the small Earth Technique will display different powers and transformations. I cultivated this technique and turned my body into a swamp, causing my Dao technique to become unpredictable. I also have top-notch escaping skills. "
The Clay Bodhisattva answered readily. Many people knew about the Dao technique he cultivated. It was not a big secret.
"When you attacked me earlier, the clay exploded. What happened?" Gu Chen asked with interest.
"That was the explosive clay. It was also a transformation of the small Earth Technique. Although I'm better at turning into a swamp, the swamp can bind and trap people. It lacks a more direct and powerful attack power. In order to make up for this weakness, I studied this transformation. "
The Clay Bodhisattva's explanation sounded like he was deliberately showing off. A ball of muddy water rose from his hand. Soon, the water evaporated and turned into a clay sculpture.
This clay sculpture was in the shape of Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex. It looked lifelike, but its size was much smaller.
"I cultivated the small Earth Technique. My body can completely turn into a swamp. The water flowing in my body is the key to Dao technique."
"When I cast the technique, the water in my body will completely fuse with the energy of the earth. I will turn into a swamp."
"By slightly controlling the water absorption, I can create all kinds of clay puppets."
"Then, I can completely evaporate the water. Through some special transformation, I can create the explosive clay."
As the Clay Bodhisattva spoke, the Tyrannosaurus Rex clay sculpture in his hand gradually cracked. Then, with a loud bang, it exploded!
The explosion was limited to a very small area. This showed the Clay Bodhisattva's exquisite control over his Dao technique.
"The water in your body is the key? What if the water in your body is used up? "Gu Chen pondered.
"Once the water in my body is used up, the power of my Dao technique will weaken. In serious cases, I might not even be able to maintain the swamp form. This is an unavoidable weakness and flaw of the small Earth Technique I cultivate. It is also a common characteristic of the Three Thousand Small Techniques. You should have heard of it, right? "the Clay Bodhisattva said.
Gu Chen nodded. Although the Three Thousand Small Techniques were derived from the Eight Great Techniques, they only had some of the profundities of great Dao techniques. They were not as flawless as great Dao techniques, so they inevitably had some flaws.
Fang Yuan had once mentioned the flaws of the Small Fate Art compared to the Great Fate Art. The Great Prophet had also mentioned this problem.
In fact, Gu Chen's sudden question about the Clay Bodhisattva's Dao technique was not a sudden impulse, but he wanted to further understand the Eight Great Techniques.
As the strongest Dao technique in the Primordial Chaos Dao World, he would definitely have a chance to clash with it in the future. It was better to understand it first.
Furthermore, he had once fallen to the Great Fate Art, so he was naturally especially attentive to everything related to the Eight Great Techniques.
"From your tone just now, there are others who cultivate the small Earth Technique? The effects are different from yours? "Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes, the small Earth Technique was imparted to me by my master. I have a senior brother who also grasps this technique. It's just that it's different from my crafty path. My senior brother's small Earth Technique is much more masculine than Fang Zheng's. He doesn't know the Dao of swamp transformation, but his strength is above mine.
"Of course, his small Earth Technique also has a weakness. It's just different from mine."
After the Clay Bodhisattva finished speaking, Gu Chen clicked his tongue in wonder. The same Dao technique actually had completely different might, and even its weaknesses were different.
Just the small Dao technique was already so profound, then what about the Great Dao technique? It would probably have countless transformations.
The more he understood, the more Gu Chen felt that the Great Fate Art that Fang Yuan had used on him back then was not simple.
He had suffered a Great Dao technique head-on, and it was truly a fluke that he was able to come back to life.
This also reminded him that the Great Fate Art was definitely not as simple as what he had seen back then. He had to make ample preparations.
After understanding the profundities of the Clay Bodhisattva's Dao technique in detail, he said almost everything he knew without holding back, giving Gu Chen a lot of inspiration.
"You told me all the secrets of your Dao technique, even its weaknesses. I'm sure it's not just because you have followed me, right?"
