806: Chapter 802: Cultivating Innate Skills!
This set of Innate Skill, passed down by the Ye family lineage, is expressed through Tadpole Script.
Superficially, the Tadpole Script records the Ye family’s history spanning thousands of years, but in truth, hidden within the strokes and nuances of the characters lies the complete description of the Innate Skill!
It seems that Daoist Wu Chen from the Lao Jun Temple did not deceive me.
Sneaking into the Ye family’s forbidden grounds to steal the cultivation technique was indeed worthwhile…
The Innate Skill is incredibly important to Ye Tian, as it concerns both his future and Yun Xinyan’s.
So, upon realizing that the Tadpole Script was written in hieroglyphs encoding the Innate Skill, Ye Tian wasted no time and began recalling these scripts carefully.
Ye Tian had an excellent memory.
Although he wasn’t yet at the level of memorizing things at a single glance, he had meticulously studied the Tadpole Script multiple times, and now he remembered it clearly.
As long as he closed his eyes, the characters would vividly float in his mind!
Master Zhang, Daoist Wu Chen’s junior brother, had once taught him part of the Innate Skill.
Though incomplete, Ye Tian was able to find portions of the Tadpole Script he had stolen that matched what Master Zhang had taught him.
Comparing the two, Ye Tian became even more certain—the Tadpole Script indeed recorded the cultivation technique for the Innate Skill!
Ye Tian carefully went over the Tadpole Script in his mind, gaining deeper insights into this cultivation technique…
Initially, when Master Zhang taught him the Innate Skill, it was conveyed in the form of external martial techniques, appearing as mere health-strengthening Tai Chi moves.
Only experts like Ye Tian could discern the Internal Strength hidden within these external movements.
In truth, the Innate Skill is purely an Internal Strength technique, but some martial artists, frustrated by the difficulties of internal cultivation, distilled it into external forms.
Over time, people began to remember only the external techniques and completely forgot how to cultivate the technique internally.
Master Zhang and the predecessors of his sect were of the same ilk.
If not for Ye Tian’s extraordinary aptitude, he would have been equally at a loss…
Of course, although the Innate Skill is a pure Internal Strength technique, external techniques can still be derived from it.
Take, for example, the moves Ye Tian used when sparring with Black Widow and Dracula earlier—they were external techniques evolved from Internal Strength!
Very quickly, Ye Tian preliminarily grasped the cultivation methods of the Innate Skill.
Coupled with previously learning parts of its technique, he now found cultivating the complete Innate Skill remarkably smooth and effortless.
Ye Tian employed the Silent Qi of the Nether God, quietly guiding his internal energy to flow within his meridians according to the Tadpole Script’s instructions!
It was undoubtedly the complete version of the Innate Skill.
From the very first session, Ye Tian realized the profound difference compared to before!
When practicing the incomplete text from Master Zhang, Ye Tian had to circulate his energy through several cycles before feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
But now, from the outset, Ye Tian found his energy coursing smoothly through all seven channels and eight meridians within his body, unblocking every stagnant point!
More importantly, cool sensations continuously streamed into the Baihui point atop his head, granting Ye Tian an instant clarity of mind.
He felt as though his entire being was light and weightless!
To Ye Tian, cultivating this technique felt as soothing as a massage, and the sensation was unforgettable.
The Tadpole Script stolen from the Ye family’s forbidden grounds was surprisingly short, but each character encapsulated a unique method of Qi flow within the meridians.
As such, Ye Tian’s cultivation was quite time-consuming.
Remarkably, the incomplete Innate Skill technique taught to Ye Tian by Master Zhang was merely derived from the first ten characters of the Tadpole Script.
Even with just the first ten characters, Ye Tian’s cultivation had been immensely gratifying.
If he were to fully master all the methods encoded in the Tadpole Script, the results would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
That said, even for someone as talented as Ye Tian, cultivating the Tadpole Script still required a great deal of effort…
During his training, Ye Tian nearly lost track of time entirely!
He had no idea how much time had passed when Black Widow approached him silently and placed a bowl of food beside him.
Though time-consuming, cultivating the Innate Skill did not demand uninterrupted focus.
Ye Tian could pause at any time and resume training later.
By now, Ye Tian was indeed feeling a pang of hunger, and the aroma of Black Widow’s food roused him from his meditative state!
“Boss, have you finished training?”
Black Widow asked with concern.
Ye Tian shook his head and replied, “Not exactly.
This technique I am cultivating will take much more time to complete.
I merely paused because of hunger.”
“No wonder, Boss.
You’ve been sitting here for an entire day.
It seems the technique you’re working on is truly challenging!”
Black Widow sighed.
“An entire day?
I’ve been training for a whole day?”
It was no surprise Ye Tian felt so famished—it turned out quite some time had passed…
Apparently, training the Innate Skill caused him to disregard the passage of time, immersing himself completely in cultivation.
Only physiological needs, such as hunger, could pull him back to reality.
Given the significant energy expenditure involved, the hunger was quite natural.
“Boss, you are the pillar of the Night King Hall.
Don’t let your dedication to training take a toll on your health!”
Black Widow urged.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Elira, it’s rare to see that you haven’t abandoned your maternal instincts.
I thought your focus on martial arts had erased such sentiments!”
“Humph!
I’ve been married and even have children!
I was born into French high society and am quite adept at etiquette!”
Black Widow pouted as she spoke, but knowing Ye Tian valued his training, she wisely refrained from disturbing him further.
After delivering the meal, she left the courtyard.
Ye Tian devoured the nourishing food Black Widow had brought him, restoring his strength.
Not wanting to waste time, he resumed his meditation training.
After spending an entire day, Ye Tian hadn’t yet progressed beyond the first twenty characters of the Tadpole Script.
But even with fewer than twenty characters’ worth of cultivation techniques, Ye Tian had benefited greatly!
It was no wonder the Ye family guarded this technique so zealously—the Innate Skill was truly miraculous!
With only a small portion of the complete Innate Skill mastered, Ye Tian already felt significant benefits.
Besides the unparalleled physical comfort, his mindset had turned completely serene and joyful.
It felt as though his entire being was undergoing a transformation—a kind of rebirth that words could not describe!
After advancing through another ten characters, yet another meal was delivered to him…
Ye Tian realized he had spent a second day immersed in cultivation!
The Tadpole Script was brimming with intricate detail.
From his estimation, it would take dozens of days to master all the characters—a lengthy endeavor, indeed.
Ye Tian knew he couldn’t remain at the Night King Hall headquarters indefinitely.
Thus, after completing forty characters, Ye Tian decided to pause.
Fully two days had passed!
When Ye Tian emerged from training and stepped out of the courtyard, the martial artists of the Night King Hall greeted him enthusiastically.
“Boss, what kind of technique have you been training for the past two days?
You look so composed and refreshed, and your energy has improved considerably!”
“Not just that!
The Boss now emanates a certain aura—I feel he’s even stronger than before!”
“No, no, I sense this celestial air around the Boss!
He seems more transcendent!”
…
The martial artists debated among themselves, showering Ye Tian with praise.
Though the martial artists of the Night King Hall had ordinary perceptions, even they couldn’t miss the transformation Ye Tian underwent during his cultivation of the Innate Skill.
Thus, their admiration was genuine and not mere flattery…
Naturally, as a cultivator, Ye Tian was acutely aware of his own changes.
After training the Innate Skill, he truly felt reborn.
It seemed this was the sensation of approaching the Innate Realm…
“Ye Xuong, during my two days of focused training, has anything significant occurred within the Night King Hall?”
Ye Tian bypassed idle chatter and directly interrogated Ye Xuong.
Ye Xuong immediately replied, “Boss, rest assured.
During these two days, everything within the Night King Hall has been peaceful with no unusual incidents!”
Ye Tian asked again, “Have the Ding brothers returned?”
“Well…
not yet…”
Ye Xuong responded with a bitter smile.
Busy with managing internal affairs at the Night King Hall, he hadn’t had the capacity to investigate the whereabouts of the Ding brothers…
“Alright.
If they do return, let me know immediately!”
Ye Tian said quietly.
Though the Ding brothers were martial artists of the Night King Hall, they also held another identity—they were outer disciples of the Celestial Gate sect.
Since the Celestial Gate had issued a mandatory summons for the Ding brothers, Ye Tian, as an outsider, didn’t wish to interfere in the sect’s internal matters.
Besides, Ye Tian was presently engrossed in cultivating the Innate Skill and couldn’t divert his attention to deal with the Ding brothers or the affairs of the Celestial Gate…
“Ye Xuong, I’ll be leaving here temporarily.
I’m entrusting the affairs of the estate to you!”
Ye Tian addressed Ye Xuong, who immediately nodded.
“Understood, Boss!
Rest assured—the Night King Hall is in good hands.
You can focus on your own matters without worry!”
Ye Tian smiled at Ye Xuong and departed from the Night King Hall headquarters estate.
With familiarity guiding his steps, Ye Tian soon returned to his home in Jiang City.
Between venturing into the Ye family’s forbidden grounds to steal the cultivation technique and spending days at the Night King Hall estate refining it, Ye Tian hadn’t seen his wife, Yun Xinyan, in half a week.
He missed her deeply.
