Chapter 37 The Missing Half

• The secret of mastering Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra that Jovie had shared was rather detailed. In fact, she even left some additional remarks, mentioning what a cultivator should do to ease their progress. While this little action revealed how thoughtful a person she was, I stared at the steps of learning the Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra, trying to master it. Nevertheless, when I started doing so, I felt pain all over my body as if my meridians were falling apart. I can’t believe the Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra is resisting The Path of Solar Fire in my body. It’s attacking my meridians like crazy. Fortunately, the protection of The Path of Solar Fire prevented the attack. Immediately, I stopped cultivating the Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra, only having my eyes glued to it.
• What kind of secret technique is this Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra? It seems that one cannot learn any other technique after learning it. Since I had already learned The Path of Solar Fire earlier, I was afraid that my meridians could be altered if I insisted on learning the Auspicious Cloud Heart Sutra. If that were to happen, I wouldn’t be able to progress in The Path of Solar Fire anymore. No way! I must put a stop to this! Therefore, I continued to read on, and I was instantly stunned by what I saw next. The other half of this secret technique is missing. Whoever cultivates this will never get strong, so why is she only revealing half of it? Could she only have half of it herself?
• I uttered in a hushed tone, “Hold it right there, guys! Don’t cultivate the technique yet! We’re leaving in a moment!” As soon as they heard my words, they nodded in agreement without ever doubting me. Ten minutes later, we decided to make a move.
