Chapter 1550 - 582: Luminous Heavenly Book (Part 3)
Why hesitate any longer?
This trip to the Martial God Temple felt incredibly dull to her.
Just now, she had a beautiful dream, which made her feel much more at ease.
Upon waking, she could join the fight, and she joyfully brandished the One-legged Copper Man, eagerly charging into the fray.
With her arrival, the battle became a foregone conclusion.
Zhen Xiaoxiao had a pure personality, as transparent as glass, with a talent that was unparalleled in the world.
Although the Whale Swallowing Skill had yet to reach Great Success.
Her physical strength far surpassed Old Ma’s.
A sweep of the One-legged Copper Man not only flipped her opponents, but her allies had to quickly dodge as well.
With just one charge, the group was completely scattered.
Seeing this, Su Mo gently shook his head, and after a brief consideration, took out the map of the Martial God Temple from his arms.
"Lady."
He called out.
Yang Xiaoyun, who was observing the enemy and preparing for the battle, immediately turned her head.
Su Mo tossed the map to her.
Yang Xiaoyun caught it smoothly:
"What are you going to do?"
"I’ll go ahead, you all follow later."
"Remember to be careful."
Yang Xiaoyun did not stop him, she just gave him a reminder.
After all, Su Mo’s martial arts skills and determination were undeniable.
If he wanted to leave now, it was the opponents who would feel frightened and worried, certainly not Su Mo.
Su Mo laughed, agreed with her, and then turned to explore among the broken walls.
This time, he kept moving upwards.
After a turn and crossing a dozen more steps, he arrived at another hall.
Inside the hall, the fire burned brightly.
In his line of sight, there were many stones.
It’s unclear where these stones had been moved from.
Each stone bore different marks.
However, unlike the marks in the last corridor of the three layered maze, these marks contained no Mystical elements.
They were just simple etched imprints.
Su Mo’s brows furrowed as his gaze swept over these stones one by one, finally resting on the most eye-catching stone in the middle of the hall.
This stone was massive, with a smooth surface, covered in inscriptions.
Su Mo walked over to the stone and lifted his eyes to examine it.
Though the writing was thousands of years old and differed somewhat from today’s characters, it was not difficult to decipher.
After reading character by character, he finally understood what the Martial God Temple was all about.
According to the inscriptions on the stone.
When the Nanhai Martial God emerged, it coincided with the Black Dragon Ancient Country’s tyrannical reign on Earth.
Like the Da Xuan Dynasty, the Black Dragon Ancient Country was founded upon martial strength, but in that era, it was much bloodier and more brutal.
During the Da Xuan Dynasty, there was a balance of Wenwu.
However, in the Black Dragon Ancient Country, military prowess was valued over literature, surpassing even the self-governed state of today’s Jianghu.
Cultivators were brutish, treating the common people like pigs and dogs.
The court even prohibited the practice of martial arts among the people, with severe consequences like family extermination or clan annihilation for dissenters.
The world lacked a Righteous Path, and heaven had no justice.
Growing up in such an environment, the Nanhai Martial God only wished to overthrow that oppressive sky.
So he secretly learned martial arts, first strengthening himself.
He was indeed extraordinarily talented, not yet twenty but already possessing formidable skills.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was first exposed to the scrutiny of the Black Dragon Ancient Country.
On that day, as the army pressed on, the Nanhai Martial God fought fiercely, turning the day into night, with rivers of blood flowing.
Despite his tattered clothes and wounds, he never surrendered!
When Su Mo reached this part, he thought of the first mural in the three layered maze.
His mind felt somewhat enlightened.
After this battle, the Nanhai Martial God lived a life of being relentlessly pursued by the Black Dragon Ancient Country.
Enduring torment day and night.
He did not see it as suffering, but as a fiery trial, honing himself, causing his martial arts to progress rapidly.
In this process, he made friends and met like-minded individuals.
There were fearless friends and companions through hardships.
He sheltered these people under his wings, leading them to rebel, hoping to overthrow the tyrannical Black Dragon rule.
Unfortunately, he faced repeated setbacks.
Ultimately, they couldn’t win!
It wasn’t that the Nanhai Martial God couldn’t win, but his friends and followers weren’t a match for the seasoned armies of the Black Dragon Ancient Country.
Many times, they suffered heavy casualties.
After decades of such experiences, the Nanhai Martial God looked back to find no one left by his side.
All that remained was himself and a deep vendetta against the Black Dragon Ancient Country.
Despite exhausting all his efforts, he had not changed the world’s state.
People continued to barely survive under oppressive tyranny.
The Black Dragon Ancient Country’s power persisted, holding the entire world in its palm.
Everything he had done seemed utterly futile.
At that time, he felt disheartened, even though he possessed unparalleled martial arts, what could he do?
In middle age, he lost the ambition of his youth, with only desolation to accompany his shadow, painting a bleak picture of the world.
He turned away, traversing the world, pondering a wise solution.
Finally, arriving above Nanhai, he integrated all his martial prowess within the waves.
Creating an unprecedented Divine Skill, named the [Luminous Heavenly Book].
In the first half of his life, he learned from the masters to cultivate the Vajra Physique; in the latter half, he synthesized everything, uniting body and mind to cultivate Liu Li Thought.
He was truly like a Vajra in body and as transparent as glass in heart.
From that point, it was as if understanding one method led to understanding all.
Suddenly realizing that while the Black Dragon Ancient Country ruled tyrannically, he was also rebelling just as tyrannically.
Each time he amassed insufficient power and rashly took action, how could he not be defeated?
One person’s efforts against a court were like a drop in the ocean.
Teaching people to fish is better than giving them fish.
If everyone in the world were like dragons, how could they fear this so-called Black Dragon?
From then on, he spread martial arts along his journey, no longer considering organizing resistance forces.
Nor did he protect people under his wings.
He handed them the blade to control their fate.
Allowing them to make their own decisions.
He walked upon the waves, traveling until he arrived at this island, where he finally stopped.
However, by then, his fame had long spread.
From all directions, people came daily to seek him out for martial arts training.
The Black Dragon Ancient Country, eager to eliminate him, was hindered by the vastness of Nanhai, unable to deploy enough forces, and if they sent too few, they couldn’t match the Nanhai Martial God, leaving them no choice but to tentatively ignore him.
