A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 251 The Mystery of Forbidden Techniques

Xiaoyue nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

"I understand what Sister Daya means, but some things really do require sacrifice to gain."

Just like my head of white hair, even though it's all white.

But as long as everyone can be together safely, I feel very at ease and satisfied.

As for what I become, it really doesn't matter.

Daya gently took Xiaoyue's hand, her eyes revealing a hint of heartache.

"Xiaoyue, we're practicing the Linglong Divine Skill together. Could you tell Sister Daya why you know that secret technique?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue was lost in her memories.

After a moment, he spoke up and said, "Well, this story goes back to when Xiao Ya taught us martial arts."

I remember that time when I was practicing my internal energy cultivation, I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my meridians.

I was really worried, so I ran to ask Xiaoya what happened.

She paused and then continued, "When I asked Xiaoya, I didn't expect her to say that she wasn't quite sure what the reason was either."

Then I was asked to circulate my energy again so she could sense what was going on.

So I started practicing again as she instructed.

But when I circulated my energy to the point where that strange feeling appeared...

I saw a look of extreme shock instantly appear on Xiaoya's face.

She told me to put away the technique and that there was an error in the steps I was practicing.

Xiaoyue sighed softly and continued, "At first, I was just curious, so I kept pestering her until she told me the reason."

She finally told me, after I pestered her so much, that I had unknowingly cultivated a forbidden technique within a divine art.

"At the time, I was very curious about what this forbidden technique was, so I kept asking her."

But Xiaoya just warned me with a serious expression that I was absolutely not allowed to practice this forbidden technique again, and then she didn't say anything else.

Then, she patiently taught me the correct breathing technique again.

"What I didn't expect was that just a few days later, when I was cultivating again, I accidentally touched the forbidden technique's gate once more."

This time, by sheer accident, I actually mastered it to the basics.

I felt very clearly at that time that I had successfully opened that door.

Because the flow of energy within my body at that time made me feel indescribably comfortable all over.

I was so happy that I couldn't wait to run over and tell Xiaoya the "good news" to share with her.

But to my surprise, I was met with a severe scolding from her.

"I still remember it very clearly. She was only about ten years old at the time, a little girl with a tender and delicate face."

But she insisted on putting on a stern face and lecturing me with a serious, adult-like demeanor.

Looking back on her appearance at the time, it still makes me laugh.

"In the end, Xiaoya really couldn't do anything about me, and she was worried that if I continued to practice this forbidden technique, something might go wrong."

Only then did she reluctantly tell me the correct way to practice this forbidden technique.

But she still made me swear with a serious expression that I could only practice this secret technique alone and must never use it.

It further warned me that if I used it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I was filled with all sorts of doubts, and I even asked her what would happen if she really used this secret technique."

Xiao Ya just shook her head helplessly, saying that she herself didn't know what the consequences would be.

She only said that she knew this secret technique existed, but she had never practiced it herself.

The only certainty is that this secret technique must not be used casually.

At the time, I didn't take her words to heart and casually agreed to only practice without using it.

But who could have imagined that in just one year, I would be forced to use this forbidden technique?

Da Ya asked, "You don't even know what will happen if you use this secret technique, yet you still dare to use it?"

Aren't you afraid of using it and then being the first to collapse?

Xiaoyue could only smile bitterly and say, "At that time, I really had no choice but to use it. If I hadn't used it, it's uncertain whether the rest of us would have survived."

Sigh... It's all my fault for being so half asleep that night. Luckily, I heard a slight noise coming from the door.

But when I sat up in bed, before I was fully awake, I felt a murderous intent rushing towards me.

The man in black sneaked into my room and, taking me by surprise, raised his sword to stab me.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and dodged his fatal sword strike by turning to the side.

If I had been even a fraction slower, I probably would have been decapitated by now.

After a fierce struggle, I finally managed to kill the man in black.

But after this fierce battle, I was exhausted to the extreme, and my body was swaying so much that I could barely stand.

My mind was completely blank; I had no idea what had happened.

After resting for a while and regaining my senses, I realized that the situation was critical.

Fortunately, there were some pills that Xiaoya had given me in the room. I took out two pills and swallowed them. Without even having time to rest, I forced my swaying body and rushed to my parents' room.

When I burst through the door, the horrific scene instantly stung my eyes; my parents lay quietly on the bed, already lifeless.

The bed was stained red with blood, and every spot and every patch of it was shocking to me.

My heart was filled with grief, and I rushed to my brother's house. The same tragic scene came into view again. My brother was also lying in a pool of blood, lifeless.

At that moment, my heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer; I was beyond words except for feeling utterly heartbroken.

I forced myself to go outside and find everyone, despite my exhaustion.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the sounds of a fierce fight coming from Shui'er's house.

I was so afraid that Shui'er and the others might have met with misfortune that I didn't care about my own injuries.

There was only one thought in my mind: hurry up and help Shui'er.

In the end, Shui'er and I worked together to kill the man in black.

After these two fierce battles, we were both exhausted and had no strength left to fight.

Even after consuming the pills left by the little girl, the recovery of his internal energy was as slow as a snail's pace.

"We didn't know how much time had passed before we dragged our heavy steps outside when our internal energy had recovered somewhat."

The scene before them was villagers lying haphazardly on the ground, blood gushing out.

At first, I was only thinking about driving away those men in black as much as possible, and I never thought about using this secret technique.

After all, Xiaoya had warned me that I must never use this forbidden technique.

But as time went on, watching everyone fall one by one in front of me, my heart felt as if it were being pierced by countless steel needles.

Left with no other choice, and in order to buy everyone a chance to escape, I had to unleash that secret technique.
