Dual Cultivation God Returns chapter-639-bahshi-legacy

"Haa~ haa~... really... haa~ what a bunch of nonsence... one or two times haa~ haa~", Hong Ye made a face full of ridicule toward the things she heard about dual cultivating with someone.

She was laying on Wu Long's side, resting her head on his shoulder as his hand was wrapped around her.

"Haha, I guess there was a merit for you in me delaying to come meet you too", he chuckled, as he noticed something when they were cultivating.

She first turned a slightly confused gaze to him, but then as if remembering something, her eyes widened as she raised her head up, freezing to check any for changes within her aside from the lingering feeling in her abdomen.

"...! So this is!!!", she then discovered the sensation that bound her to Wu Long as her eyes lit with pure joy.

"Da~rli~ng!!! Ehehehe! I am Darling's woman! Now we're bound together! Hehe!", she hugged him tightly with loud exclamations as he chuckled and hugged her back.

'Now, you won't be able to run away from me even if you want to', a thought ran through her crimson eyes as she looked up at him.

---

"Haa~, oh! Right! That technique you used...", after a long period of cuddling, she asked as she turned curious eyes to him.

"Hahaha, quite an impressive one, right? Though it's not exactly something that I like to use often because even after a long time I wasn't able to figure out how exactly it works", he chuckled.

"Wasn't able to figure out?", she turned her head slightly to the side.

"Mm, it is normal you don't question how your techniques accomplish what they do because Bahshi Assassins are specifically taught not to do that", Wu Long nodded, swirling a lock of her hair around his finger, which made her slightly close her eyes from how comfortable it felt.

"While I like to know how exactly each technique interacts with environment, and what it manipulates to achieve its effects", he continued in a lighthearted tone, adding "but Bahshi Assassination Group's legacy is a bit complicated"

"Complicated? Isn't it envisioned by our founder?", she opened her eyes to look at him and he chuckled, shaking his head.

"Hahaha, no, far from it. That old man, whose real name is long lost in history, and who was generally only referred to by his Assassin handle 'Bahshi'.

He got quite lucky and obtained ancient legacy, possibly from some ruins, but if my guess is correct, when he was just a low-level assassin he assassinated someone who got lucky to find it, and then ran with the loot instead of delivering it to his organization.

But, he profited in the end.

That legacy was massive, and contained numerous levels of techniques and skills, each level having a technique with significant control over the lower one, and the top, having almost absolute control over each level.

This was an ideal legacy for him, almost perfectly preserved, and ideal for building the organization he eventually built.

He simply slapped his Assassin name instead of an unidentified word in every single one of the techniques as he built his organization. Of course, I only learned about it when I got my hands on the techniques which were stored in an ancient artifact.

But from what I understand, the origin of those techniques is either in the Ghost Dao, or closely related to it, and thus it is quite hard to figure out how they actually work"

Wu Long made a wry smile.

"Ghost Dao?"

"Mm. Though that is a human name for it, that somehow became so prevalent that even beings of the Ghost Dao use it now.

There are a great many beings in the universe.

Some of them are living and corporeal, like us humans and Spiritual Beasts for example.

Others can be more leaning toward 'beings' than organisms, like Spirit Race and Elemental Races.

And some can be outright bizarre, like races of the Ghost Dao, which generally can be corporeal, but tread a thin line of being not in this world"

He nodded, explaining to her as she pondered on his words.

"So you're saying that the techniques I use are from this... Ghost Dao?", she asked to confirm and he nodded.

"As far as I can tell, the techniques of the Bahshi Assassins tap into the power of a different dimension, a different plane that exists alongside ours that is the domain accessible to the beings of the Ghost Dao.

Thus it is possible to do certain things living beings of flesh and blood generally are not capable of, like passing through walls as I did before"

He spoke looking up a the ceiling, as his hand wrapped around her was caressing her shoulder.

The Imperial Ghost Codex, the cultivation method that previously only the old man Bahshi, and then his successor to the leadership position, Hong Xinyi used, was the third Supreme Cultivation Method added by Wu Long to the Chaos Harmonic Nexus as he was making Core Reformations.

It was something he hesitated to do exactly because it was one of the least understood by him legacies, which mysterious nature did not bode well with him.

But as he recently started to decipher the mysteries of both the Sublime Heavenly Sequence and the Slaughter God Tyrant Vortex Art, something he could only do because he used them, he knew that there was a reward in taking the risk of using something he did not fully understand. Not to mention that now his very Core was something from that sort as well.

That reward, aside from the apparent benefits, being the possibility to examine and gain insight to that knowledge from the inside, thus facilitating his understanding of it.

The other, and far more palpable reason for his hesitation, which set apart this specific technique from the ones he did dare to use without understanding, is that the core concept of this legacy was Dependency and Source Techniques.

And thus there was a real possibility that there was a method above the Imperial Ghost Codex which would grant someone power over those practicing it.

But that worry subsided as he delved deeper into the secrets of the Chaos Harmonic Nexus, understanding just how much power this technique wields over any techniques it combines. The intricate control of it was far more intrusive into the techniques themselves than he initially believed.

Thus, even if that highest level technique did have an even higher authority method that controlled it, that worry was completely nullified with the Chaos Harmonic Nexus.

"Hmm", Hong Ye also showed a pondering appearance, but then her expression became lighter as she smiled looking at him.

"Darling, you know what I thought just now?", she asked, as he raised his eyebrow.

"I think that whatever the origin of those technique is, and whatever mysteries there are about them, they brought me to Darling and that is all that matters to me", she chuckled as he smiled at her, and leaned in to give her one more kiss.
