Within Fang Hanâs mind, there first appeared the apparitions of eight heavenly dragons! These eight dragons were incomparably mighty, their beards, golden scales, claws, and long horns giving off auras of great age and having experienced everything. Their expressions looked down upon everything. Just a glance and one would feel that these dragons were sacred and n.o.ble, able to get rid of all of the circulating Devils. After these eight dragons appeared, they constantly let out great roars, each one emitting a different sound. Furthermore, each roar was made up of hundreds if not thousands of syllables. It was as if they were the origins of a great path of sound within the profoundness of the world.
Afterwards, Fang Han learned of an extreme amount of mnemonic rhymes.
Rouse the lungs, suck in the abdomen, lower breathing rate, dominate the dantian, stimulate the jiaâji point, condense the spirit, the changes of the eight dragons, reconstruct the syllables, a long segment of script. Although it was mysterious, it detailedly instructed how to control strength, how to p.r.o.nounce, and how to visualize the spirit and coordinate it with the bodyâs movements to let the spiritâs thoughts and body quickly work together.
[TL: The dantian (group of points) and jiaâji point are both traditional chinese points thought to stimulate the body]
Towards Fang Han who had cultivated to the âG.o.dly Transformationâ stage, this wasnât very complex as he had long since understood the movement of his muscles.
However, there were many parts of the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ with shocked him nonetheless.
He had thought that sound could only produced by the throat, nose, and the lower abdomen, but it could in fact also be produced by the intestines, as well as the back and arm. Even the armpits could produce sounds when pressed together. The same went for the legs, pelvis, etc. All of these places could produce sounds. Around the entire body, there were many more than eight places which could produce sounds! However, ordinary people werenât able to do it in some areas because their muscles werenât strong enough, and they lacked the membrane.
The methods for making the sounds of this âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ required great physical ability. Only if oneâs flesh and muscles were at a high enough level of being soft yet hard could these sounds be created.
Before long, Fang Han had a clear grasp over the tricks for producing these sounds, for coordinating his body and spirit, and the various mixes of these sounds. This was due to the fact that his cultivation now focused on his mind, causing his memory to be much clearer and his thinking ability to be much more shrewd than normal people. After figuring out the techniques, he went over it a few times until he became confident that he could execute it without error. He condensed his spirit, bending his body, his four limbs shaking, his spine cracking, his waist and legs extending and contracting. He executed the lower abdomen breathing technique, his lungs heaving, his nostrils full of circulating air.
Like this, Fang Han truly seemed to be like a dragon stretching in the sky. His form looked similar, and his intent was even more similar.
A series of rapid, violent, air tremoring, piercing syllables, like a sacred extinguis.h.i.+ng wave, a great calamity or punishment, burst out from within him. It was like millions of people shouting together, like tens of thousands of monsters roaring together, like tens of thousands of volcanoes erupting together, like tens of thousands of great dams discharging together!
âWu! Gu! Ba! Ma! Hong! Ya! Dou! Po!â
The eight sounds of the heavenly dragon burst out.
As if a hurricane had blown up, the sound waves exploded outwards. It could clearly be seen, wave after wave of sound rippling outwards with Fang Han at the middle. They dispersed in the shape of a circle*. Compared to Fang Hanâs roars just now, they were very clearly double the size. Furthermore, the will contained within the sound had become sharp to an unthinkable level. Compared to the disorganized roars from before, it was much more organized.
[TL: The author mentions that it is a ĺĺżĺ which isnât just a simple circle, but I donât know what they are called. Image link:Â http://www.cmic.zju.edu.cn/old/cmkj/web-dnggsjyzz/a/a_1/a_1_6/a_1_6_01/a_1_6_01_03.files/image001.gif]
If the syllables of Fang Hanâs disorganized roars just now were considered a mob of random people, then the current sounds of the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ could be considered an organized, disciplined, experienced, and trained, group of soldiers.
The fighting power was inconceivably different.
âAh, my head hurts so much!â
âWhat kind of sound is this!â
âIt is so harsh on my ears, so painful! Even my heart feels as if it has been pierced.â
âHow is it possible for a human to emit such a sharp sound?â
The sounds of the âBillowing Pines Zitherâ and âCloud Water Fluteâ were completely covered by the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ. When the several female disciples heard this sound, their faces immediately changed, becoming extremely pale. It was as if they had been instantly sucked dry of their blood. The sharp sounds of the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ were just too sharp, it was as if an extremely sharp blade had cut through their mind. They couldnât fathom how a person could possibly emit such horrifying noises.
âHurry up and cover your ears!â
Xu Yue Er and Ye Yuâs facial expressions suddenly changed. These two rather powerful, healthy female disciples leaders had quite steady spirits, and hurriedly began to intensely play the flute and zither in attempt to neutralize the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ. Otherwise, some of the lower level female disciples, those who were only at the âG.o.dly Courageâ stage, would be shaken into r.e.t.a.r.dation.
However, these female disciples were still ok. Since they had physical bodies, the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ wouldnât do much harm to them. However, those âHeavenly Devilsâ were quite unlucky! The âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ cleared away all of them! Immediately, it condensed into a blob, turning into top which chased and killed all of the âHeavenly Devilsâ.
The âHeavenly Devilsâ fell like raindrops to the ground, bang bang bang bang, turning into a hideous looking person. It was b.l.o.o.d.y, and couldnât move.
As for those several âHeavenly Devilâ leaders, they were barely able to stay flying, flying like drunken birds in the sky, their speed greatly reduced. They staggered around in the sky as if they had suffered some serious injury.
âXu, xu, this âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ, why does it require so much physical exertion? With my current condition, even if I roared for a day and a night, I might not be tired, but right now, I am so exhausted.â
[TL: This is referring to his original roars, not the technique]
After Fang Han emitted the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ, he only felt his bodyâs extreme exhaustion. Even his head felt groggy, as if he had used up all of his energy and just wanted to go to sleep.
In the first place, this âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ was a technique created just to release latent power to stimulate the greatest possible explosive power! And this is after you had consumed the âNine Aperture Golden Pelletâ. Otherwise, an ordinary âG.o.dly Transformationâ cultivator, after using it, would immediately be completely out of energy and fall severely ill. They would recover in anywhere from ten days to half a month. Anyway, you have just used it for the first time, and havenât completely grasped all of its tricks. Once you become an inner court disciple and have learned the Yuâhua Schoolâs ân.o.ble Spirit Long Songâ and compare the two, you will completely master both. When that time comes, whenever you emit a sound, you can cause all cultivators who havenât cultivated to the âG.o.dly Courageâ stage within a hundred step radius to be shocked to r.e.t.a.r.dation.
Yan very faintly explained this to Fang Han. Hurry, you need to use a little more strength right now and capture all of these âHeavenly Devilsâ, especially those several leaders. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Fang Han also knew that his harvest had arrived. His body moved, the âSky Wolf Battle Armorâ dispersing and turning into streams of black smoke which shot across and covered the entire sky. Like a net dropping from the heavens, it immediately tied up all of the âHeavenly Devilsâ which had fallen onto the ground, pulling them back to Fang Han.
At the same time, those several leaders flew away in a stupor, trying to escape, but they were also captured. Everything was thrown into the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ.
Generally after the âSky Wolf Smokeâ turned into the streams of black smoke, it would see a great decrease in power, and become unable to entangle even a single âHeavenly Devilâ. However, right now, all of these âHeavenly Devilsâ had been severely injured by the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ and were rather powerless. Thus, they were all easily captured.
After storing them in the gourd, Fang Han completely surrounded himself with the smoke, letting in neither wind nor rain, and secretly took all of the âHeavenly Devilsâ and unhesitantly poured them into the âYellow Springs Riverâ.
His actions just now were to prevent anyone from seeing his actions after capturing all of these âHeavenly Devilsâ. If he were to be seen by the eight female disciples of the âJiaâlan Groupâ, his heart would begin to feel uncertain. This way, they wouldnât be able to feel any of the qi of the âPicture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Springâ.
