Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 52 Bloodwing Escape Technique

Half an hour later, Li Ping walked out of Lingbao Pavilion with a disappointed look on his face and headed towards another shop.

The Lingbao Pavilion does indeed house a considerable number of escape techniques.

But just as Li Ping had expected, these escape techniques were either extremely slow or had very demanding cultivation conditions, requiring all sorts of precious spiritual materials that he had never heard of before.

He doesn't have time to spend a lot of time collecting spiritual materials for a single escape technique.

Even if some have side effects, at most they will only deplete one's vital essence and cause a regression in cultivation level, which can be recovered by taking medicine or cultivating later.

This doesn't meet Li Ping's needs; the power is too weak.

What he wanted was a powerful spell, one that would be incurable and cause death soon after use, a spell that no one dared to practice!

……

In a shop called "Jade Cliff Palace", Li Ping put away the spiritual herbs he had bought, and then made the same request to purchase magic spells.

After visiting several shops, he collected enough medicinal herbs to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills.

Li Ping had already given up hope on the energy-gathering escape techniques and desperate spells.

Upon hearing Li Ping's words, the broad-shouldered, stout manager of Jade Cliff Palace pondered for a moment before speaking, "I recently acquired a speed-asturing escape technique, but its side effects are too severe, so few people learn it. I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping was overjoyed.

He's not afraid of severe side effects as long as the effect is good; he's only afraid that the side effects aren't severe enough!

Overjoyed, Li Ping remained outwardly calm and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you take it out and let me see it?"

……

Half an hour later, Li Ping walked out of the shop called "Jade Cliff Palace" with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he found a secluded corner, packed away his belongings, and leisurely returned to his cave in Immortal Peach Mountain.

After summoning Bai Lin and handing her the jade token for entering and leaving Immortal Peach Mountain, Li Ping returned to the training room, sat cross-legged, and began to examine the escape technique with extremely severe side effects that he had purchased from Jade Cliff Palace.

Its name is "Bloodwing Escape Technique".

Li Ping probed the jade slip containing the "Bloodwing Escape Technique" with his divine sense, and after patiently reading through all the contents, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

According to the introduction, this Bloodwing Escape Technique comes from the Blood Shadow Sect, a demonic sect mentioned in the "Evergreen Chronicles".

Back when the Blood Shadow Cult invaded the Nine Chariots Kingdom, the Tianxuan Sect cultivators killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Blood Shadow Cult and found this demonic escape technique in his storage bag.

The original name of the "Bloodwing Escape Technique" was "Thunderfire Escape Technique"!

It is said that this was created by a Nascent Soul cultivator who researched a kind of celestial bird called the "Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc".

According to the Nascent Soul cultivator, the Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc possesses a trace of the legendary True Spirit 'Soaring Kunpeng' bloodline, and its flight speed ranks among the top even among flying spirit birds.

The Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc, having cultivated to the Transformation Realm, can travel thousands of miles in an instant with its wings spread, far surpassing human cultivators of the same level.

During one of his adventures, the Nascent Soul cultivator luckily obtained the remains of a Transformation Stage Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc and used his savings of many years to refine its pair of thunder and fire wings into a magic weapon.

With the Wings of Thunderfire, that Nascent Soul cultivator held a significant advantage in battles against other cultivators. Even for late-stage cultivators, defeating him was easy, but capturing him was an incredibly difficult task.

The "Thunderfire Escape Technique" is a wondrous escape technique created by that Nascent Soul cultivator during his long-term use of the Thunderfire Wings in order to complement their use.

Once unleashed, its flight speed, while not yet comparable to that of a celestial bird like the Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc, can still cover a hundred miles in an instant.

Li Ping already knew that cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment could only have a spiritual sense range of about 100 zhang, and those in the later stages could only explore a radius of 300 zhang.

A Core Formation cultivator's spiritual sense is ten times stronger than a Foundation Establishment cultivator's, which is only about a thousand feet in length.

A Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual sense is ten times stronger than a Core Formation cultivator's, and can reach a distance of ten thousand feet.

If one can travel a hundred miles in an instant, then it will only take a moment to shake off a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, according to that Nascent Soul cultivator, the speed of flying a hundred miles in an instant is only for Nascent Soul cultivators. If it were a Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivator, the speed of flying would naturally not be so exaggerated.

It might be possible to travel ten miles in an instant!

While not as exaggerated as traveling a hundred miles in an instant, it is still an extremely exaggerated speed. Such speed means that once it is unleashed, even a Core Formation cultivator would have no chance of catching up.

Of course, such a powerful secret technique, if it had no flaws, would have long been collected by those major powers and kept secret.

Since it ended up in the hands of a rogue cultivator like Li Ping, it must have some major flaws.

Its flaw is quite simple, according to the Nascent Soul cultivator who created this escape technique.

To use the "Thunderfire Escape Technique," one must possess a pair of magical wings crafted from the Thunderfire Wings of a Transformation-stage Azure-Eyed Thunder Roc!

This one point completely rendered this escape technique useless.

It's hard to say whether there are still any Qingyan Leipeng, a spiritual bird of heaven and earth with a trace of true spirit bloodline, in this world. Where can we get a pair of wings of a Leipeng in the Transformation stage to refine the Thunderfire Wings magic weapon?

However, later, a Core Formation cultivator from the Blood Shadow Sect found another way and used this escape technique in conjunction with a secret technique called "Transformation Technique" within the sect.

Using the cultivator's own essence and mana as catalyst, a pair of flesh and blood wings were forcibly generated from the body. After modifying and stitching together the "Thunderfire Escape Technique", it was actually possible to perform a similar escape technique.

Vaillant is comparable to the original by about 70-80%.

However, since these were blood wings that grew from within a cultivator's body, rather than lightning wings, the Core Formation cultivator called this sewn-together secret technique the "Blood Wing Escape Technique."

Relying on the "Bloodwing Escape Technique," this Core Formation cultivator from the Blood Shadow Sect even managed to escape with his life from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, it was merely a death throes.

The Demonic Cult's Transformation Technique consumes a cultivator's life force and essence.

The Core Formation cultivator used the "Blood Wing Escape Technique" to escape from the Nascent Soul cultivator, but in doing so, he expended a great deal of his lifespan and essence.

Even after trying every possible way to make amends, it was all in vain. In the end, he could only pass away peacefully several years later.

This is because Core Formation cultivators have abundant inner strength. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to use the "Blood Wing Escape Technique," they would probably only have time to leave their last words after escaping.

Because of such hidden dangers, even within the Blood Shadow Cult, which is known for its brutality, very few demonic cultivators dare to practice this escape technique.

……

But Li Ping wasn't afraid. As a cultivator of the Nourishing Life Technique, no matter how much lifespan or essence he lost, as long as he didn't die on the spot, he could make up for it with his Nourishing Life Technique.

This escape technique seemed to have been tailor-made for him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ping began to cultivate this escape technique.

Because the person who stitched together the two secret techniques was only a Core Formation cultivator, his vision was limited, making the cultivation of the "Bloodwing Escape Technique" extremely dangerous, often resulting in damage to the meridians and the source of one's essence.

Cultivators are generally very cautious during their cultivation process, and their cultivation speed is very slow.

However, Li Ping had the health preservation technique protecting him, so he was not afraid of getting injured at all. After a bold experiment, he successfully mastered the escape technique in just over ten days.
