Chapter 1546 - 581: Broken Again_2
Instead, it carried a trace of desolate fatigue.
Alone, standing atop the mountain cliff, above was still the sky, dark without sun or moon.
The heavy gloom felt as if the heavens were collapsing.
And below this cliff, there were countless severed limbs, wails echoing everywhere, like a hell on Earth.
This mural was different from the previous one.
The former mural allowed everyone who saw it to gain enlightenment.
But most people had no reaction to this one.
Although it could stir one’s heartstrings, evoking a sense of powerlessness, that was about it.
Only Gao Tianqi stood motionless, staring blankly at the scene before him.
Falling into a meditative state.
Su Mo was momentarily stunned, looking at Gao Tianqi, deep in thought.
Instinctively, he turned back to glance at Zhen Xiaoxiao, finding the girl asleep again...
"I shouldn’t have had any illusions about this chubby girl."
Su Mo chuckled silently, not disturbing Gao Tianqi.
However, it was only a moment later.
Gao Tianqi snapped back to his senses.
He clasped his fists towards Su Mo and said:
"Thank you, Young Alliance Leader, for making this happen."
"Alliance Leader Gao, what are you talking about?"
Su Mo waved his hand, then said to the Hidden Sword Hermit:
"I leave it to you."
The Hidden Sword Hermit nodded, stepping forward to inspect, and after a moment, lightly tapped a corner of the mural with a wooden mallet.
There was a clicking sound.
The mural opened, revealing a door. Su Mo took two steps forward, noticing Zhen Xiaoxiao still asleep, and had to call her again.
The process was no different from before.
Ascending the steps, they turned into the Third Level maze.
It was just as they were about to exit the passage when the sides changed.
They saw the walls covered with mottled marks.
Like knife scars, as if ax-cut, with the intent of a sword slash... marks of various weapons.
It was as if a fierce battle had been fought in this maze passageway.
Since waking from the second mural, Gao Tianqi’s mind had been muddled, ignoring the situation on both sides, mechanically following Su Mo, step by step.
Ignoring the marks on both sides.
Su Mo and the others watched the marks intently, and in a daze, it seemed as if someone wielding a single blade suddenly slashed out before them.
But Su Mo instinctively snapped his fingers, and the illusion shattered instantly.
"Interesting," he couldn’t help but mutter.
As they moved forward, a person holding a longsword appeared, the sword tip aiming directly at the heart.
Su Mo raised a finger, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound in his ear.
As soon as this point fell, the illusion vanished again.
He laughed immediately and said:
"Within this passageway, the marks on the walls are all weapon techniques left behind.
"This is quite a good place for a trial.
"Everyone can proceed and see if you can break all these techniques."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded immediately.
Yang Xiaoyun admired and said:
"It’s hard to say how high the martial arts of the Nanhai Martial God are, but his skills are indeed considerable.
"The Martial God Temple has existed for thousands of years, even before the Da Xuan Dynasty.
"The various arrangements he left within this Martial God Temple are still effective even today.
"They can still inspire future generations.
"Truly admirable."
"Young Alliance Leader’s Wife, your words are true."
Zhang Quan said: "This predecessor must have mastered an extraordinary Divine Skill, with the ability to see clearly the divine."
See clearly the divine?
Su Mo thought these words were perhaps a bit exaggerated.
However, he did believe that the person possessed a spiritual aspect in his martial arts.
Judging from the various relief murals left behind, his expertise in this area was undoubtedly deep.
Yet, he wondered if this skill was left within this Martial God Temple?
As these thoughts turned in his mind, he didn’t stop.
Moving forward to explore, at first, the illusionary techniques were powerful, but not particularly intricate.
But the further he went, the more mysterious and strange the techniques became.
They were completely different from the martial arts techniques currently circulating in the Jianghu.
Not that they were particularly powerful, but they struck from unexpected places, more brutal and bloodthirsty than modern martial arts.
Su Mo casually broke through, these techniques couldn’t stop him.
However, looking back, he found everyone’s pace differed.
Daoist Mingyue had long stopped at a distance, trapped in deep thought.
Currently halted by a certain technique.
Further back was the Yukun Palace’s Gong Yuyao.
She simply sat on the ground, frowning, occasionally trying, yet shaking her head, clearly not finding the method.
Each individual’s progress was different.
Based on their martial arts, insight, techniques, and so on.
By now, those following Su Mo closely were only Yang Xiaoyun, Wei Ziyi, Zhen Xiaoxiao, Gao Tianqi, Zhang Quan, Xiao He, and just a few others.
Little Situ had also reached his limit.
Standing in a part of the passage, frowning in deep thought.
Su Mo smiled slightly, glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.
The couple exchanged looks, both understanding each other silently, Yang Xiaoyun was about to stop.
But suddenly, they heard footsteps from behind.
The sudden noise left Su Mo slightly stunned, not quite what he had expected...
When Su Mo saw the passage, he had already harbored doubts in his mind.
Though the Martial God Temple’s material was quite special, it wasn’t indestructible.
The marks within the passage were fascinating, hiding Mystical Skill essentials.
Based on the character of the Sixth Surprise, it’s impossible he’d leave them for himself.
The previous two murals involved secret mechanisms that he didn’t dare damage.
