“Venerable Taboo Martial Skill?” Chu Feng’s eyes lit up at the words.
As a martial cultivator, Chu Feng had practiced various techniques, like Emperor Taboo and Immortal Taboo skills.
From the name alone, he understood that a Venerable Taboo Martial Skill was something even Venerable Realm experts struggled to master.
It surpassed Immortal Taboo skills and even Immortal Techniques, making it incredibly valuable to him now.
Chu Feng grew excited.
“It’s likely a Venerable Taboo Martial Skill, as I once obtained a similar scroll,” Old Daoist Ox-Nose said. “That scroll contained a Venerable Taboo Martial Skill too.”
“But yours seems even more formidable, and I can’t open it.”
“However, Chu Feng, I can give you one you can cultivate.”
As he spoke, Old Daoist Ox-Nose took out a small white scroll from his Cosmos Sack and handed it to Chu Feng.
The scroll was tiny, the size of a fingernail, glowing faintly as if crafted from white jade.
Despite its size, it was exquisitely detailed, and Chu Feng could tell it held something extraordinary.
Engraved on it were five characters: *Venerable Taboo Heavenly Seal*!
If the scroll from his father might contain a Venerable Taboo skill, this one from Old Daoist Ox-Nose was undoubtedly one.
“Senior, this is too precious, I…” Chu Feng hesitated, but before he could finish, Old Daoist Ox-Nose flicked his finger, and the *Venerable Taboo Heavenly Seal* turned into a streak of light, entering Chu Feng’s forehead.
Instantly, the cultivation method for the *Venerable Taboo Heavenly Seal* imprinted in his mind.
More crucially, a new power surged within him—the power of the *Venerable Taboo Heavenly Seal*.
The cultivation method required this power to work.
Without it, even knowing the method, Chu Feng couldn’t master the skill.
This meant the *Venerable Taboo Heavenly Seal* was exclusively for him.
“Senior, how can I ever thank you?” Chu Feng said, astonished.
He hadn’t expected Old Daoist Ox-Nose, who often acted like a cunning merchant, to be so generous.
A Venerable Taboo Martial Skill was clearly priceless, yet the Daoist gave it to him so freely.
“It’s just a Venerable Taboo skill. Compared to the War God’s Halberd you helped me get, it’s nothing, especially since it’s only a First-Rank Taboo,” Old Daoist Ox-Nose said.
“First-Rank Taboo? Senior, are there distinctions in strength among Venerable Taboo skills?” Chu Feng asked curiously.
He’d practiced Immortal Taboo skills, which varied in strength but lacked clear classifications.
Immortal Techniques, however, had defined ranks.
From the Daoist’s words, it seemed Venerable Taboo skills were similarly categorized.
“Of course,” Old Daoist Ox-Nose said. “You know Immortal Techniques, right?”
“Ranks one to three are for True Immortals.”
“Ranks four to six are for Heavenly Immortals.”
“Ranks seven to nine are for Martial Immortals.”
“For the Venerable Realm, there are no Venerable Techniques, only Venerable Taboo Martial Skills.”
“Like Immortal Techniques, they’re divided into nine ranks.”
“So, ranks one to three are for Venerables, four to six for Supremes, and seven to nine for Martial Venerables?” Chu Feng asked.
“Exactly,” the Daoist confirmed. “But the Ancestral Martial Starfield is poor. Even First-Rank Taboos are rare, held only by major powers. Second-Rank Taboos? I’ve never seen anyone use them.”
“So, Venerable Taboo skills are precious here.”
“But only in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.”
“In stronger starfields like the Holy Light Galaxy, they’re common.”
“However, Venerable Taboo skills are hard to master. Even First-Rank Taboos are impressive for a Venerable to learn.”
“Second-Rank Taboos? Rare even for Venerables.”
“Third-Rank? I’ve never seen a Venerable master one, and even Supremes struggle.”
“Also, unlike other techniques, Venerable Taboo skills can be distinguished by aura and color,” Old Daoist Ox-Nose explained.
“How so, Senior?” Chu Feng asked.
“Simple. Unlike flashy techniques, Venerable Taboo skills are clear-cut. Their forms may vary, but their colors are fixed.”
“From weakest to strongest: white, gray, silver, green, blue, purple, red, black, gold—nine colors.”
Chu Feng understood that the colors indicated the rank.
First-Rank: White.
Second-Rank: Gray.
Third-Rank: Silver.
Fourth-Rank: Green.
Fifth-Rank: Blue.
Sixth-Rank: Purple.
Seventh-Rank: Red.
Eighth-Rank: Black.
Ninth-Rank: Gold.
Chu Feng glanced at his father’s scroll, which was silver.
“Senior, could this scroll contain a Third-Rank Taboo?” he asked.
“Not necessarily,” Old Daoist Ox-Nose smiled. “Just understand the basics of Venerable Taboo skills. You can slowly cultivate the one I gave you.”
“Now, I’ll help you fuse the Fire Qilin Curse.”
*Crack—*
He crushed a jade pendant and tossed it into the air.
*Roar—*
A ferocious roar echoed as a massive fire-red qilin, formed of flames, appeared above the hall!
The fire qilin was vicious, glaring at Chu Feng with hostility.
But it was pinned in the void, restrained by Old Daoist Ox-Nose.
“Chu Feng, I can help you quickly gain the Fire Qilin Curse’s power.”
“But it’ll be painful. Prepare yourself,” the Daoist warned.
“Do it, Senior,” Chu Feng said, tearing open his shirt to reveal his chest.
Though he hadn’t fused the curse, he knew it involved releasing it and merging it into his chest.
“Here it comes!” Old Daoist Ox-Nose crossed his hands, pointed at Chu Feng’s chest, and shouted:
“Fuse!”
The fire qilin turned into a red streak of light, shooting toward Chu Feng’s chest!
