Chapter 1388 The Technique's Name

1388 The Technique's Name

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye since Kulas started studying the stone tablet. Ren Xia also stopped bothering Tian Yang and tried to comprehend the stone tablet. Even though she wasn't a Body Refiner, it would still benefit her greatly if she learned the technique.

Tian Yang spent a week solidifying his cultivation and started studying the stone tablet as well, and it only took a week for him to learn the name of the technique engraved in the stone tablet.

'Golden Mountain Body Refinement…'

As much as he wanted to continue learning the technique, he didn't want to steal it from Kulas, so he stopped studying the stone tablet after learning its name and returned to solidifying his cultivation.

In the third week, Kulas finally learned the technique's name, but he only expressed disappointment afterward.

'This isn't the technique I am looking for. Let's head to the next one,' he said to them through divine sense.

'In case you forgot, I won't give you the information for free.' Ren Xia reminded him.

Kulas glared at her and sighed, 'What do you want from me?'

A profound smile appeared on her face as she spoke, 'I want information on your friend. Tell me his real name and I will give you the location of the second stone tablet.'nove(l)bi(n.)com

'You fucking bitch! You want me to sell out my friend?! In your dreams!' Kulas was immediately enraged by Ren Xia's demands.

'Why are you so angry? It's just a name.' Ren Xia calmly shook her head.

'Regardless, you already know his name, so why even bother asking?'

'Stop taking me for a fool, Kulas. I know Xiao Yang is not his real name. If you are worried that I will sell him out to the Immortal Gu Clan, you need not worry, as I don't particularly like them either.'

'And you expect me to believe you?'

Since Kulas and Ren Xia were talking to each other through divine sense, Tian Yang did not know what they were talking about, but he could tell that Kulas was in a tough situation judging by the expression on his face.

'What kind of payment does she want?' he decided to ask Kulas.

'She wants me to tell her your real name.'

"..."

Tian Yang pondered for a moment before speaking, 'Go ahead, tell her.'

'Are you sure? What if she sells you out to the Immortal Gu Clan? Or the Seven Divine Sword Peaks?'

'It's fine. They will learn of my identity sooner or later.'

'I understand…'

After receiving his permission, Kulas revealed Tian Yang's real name to Ren Xia, who wore a bright smile on her face afterward.

'Tian Yang, huh? Cute name.' Ren Xia spoke to Tian Yang in a teasing tone.

'The next location.' Tian Yang glared at her.

'Of course.'

Ren Xia proceeded to guide them to the next location, which took three days of traveling on their flying treasure.

The second location also had a stone tablet, but this one was slightly smaller than the last.

Kulas immediately took a seat and started studying the stone tablet. Tian Yang and Ren Xia did the same, but Tian Yang stopped after learning its name four days later and focused on his cultivation.

Two weeks later, Kulas learned its name and was met with disappointment again.

'What do you want as payment this time?' Kulas looked at Ren Xia.

In response to his question, Ren Xia retrieved a scroll from her spatial ring and handed it to him with a calm smile on her face, 'I just need you to sign this.'

Kulas took the scroll and read it. Tian Yang could read some of the contents from his position and couldn't help but take a peek.

'Agreement to dissolve engagement?! She wants to break their engagement?!' Tian Yang swallowed nervously after realizing the situation.

He glanced at Kulas' face with curiosity, and to Tian Yang's surprise, Kulas was grinning from ear to ear. And without any hesitation, Kulas signed the paper with his blood.

'He wasn't joking about not wanting to marry her…' Tian Yang thought to himself.

Kulas returned the paper to her a moment later and stated, 'Just so you know, even though I signed this paper, the ultimate decision rests with our family.'

'This is good enough.' Ren Xia said.

After putting away the scroll, Ren Xia retrieved her flying treasure and led them to the final location.

'Just a reminder that this will be the last location that I know of.' Ren Xia remarked.

'Okay.'

A few days later, they reached the third location, where a colossal statue featuring an animal resembling an elephant stood majestically.

"Whoa..." Tian Yang couldn't help but express his awe for the statue.

"T-This might be it!" Kulas' entire being trembled in excitement when he saw the statue.

He hastened towards the statue and began studying it intently. In contrast to the prior trials, the number of people examining this statue was several times greater, surpassing even the crowd at the stone sword.

One week... two weeks... a month elapsed in the blink of an eye. However, Kulas remained unable to learn the name of the technique.

'Please give me a little more time! I think this is the technique I have been looking for!' Kulas looked at Tian Yang.

'Take as much time as you need,' he replied.

'Thank you!'

Two more months passed. It had been three months since they arrived at the stone statue, but Kulas was unable to comprehend the name, let alone the technique.

'Fuck!' Kulas cursed inwardly with a defeated look on his face. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, but he couldn't have expected to be so powerless before it.

'Is this my limit? Am I not fated to learn this technique? Damn it all!' he cursed inwardly as he looked at the sky with a disheartened expression.

Eventually, he gave up and said, 'I'm done here.'

'Is this not the technique you were looking for?' Tian Yang asked him as he seemed so sure of it at the beginning.

'I don't know since I can't even learn its name…' he sighed.

After a moment of silence, Tian Yang spoke, 'The technique is called Great Mammoth Body Refinement. Is this the technique?'

"WHAT?!" Kulas was so shocked when Tian Yang revealed the technique's name that he expressed it out loud, disturbing the scene.
