Chapter 1558 - 585: Damn You! (Part 2)
It was impossible to join forces when confronting Su Mo.
So it was foreseen that whether Xu Huai Valley prevails or the Dark Dragon Hall Master proves superior, one will certainly seize this martial arts, taking the lead.
Therefore, he only needed to wait in this secret passage.
After snatching this Divine Skill, he could send back those who would originally escape, adding another "Chains" to block Su Mo, why not?
Besides this, he was quite looking forward to the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
Even though it lasted for thousands of years, this Martial Arts, compared to today’s Martial Arts, was entirely different.
The path of Martial Arts is definitely not better the older it is.
Martial Arts under the heavens have been continuously innovated and evolved over centuries.
Although inevitably some have deviated for various reasons, generally speaking, the new triumphs over the old.
After all, when something is played around with by a group of people for thousands of years, it is bound to evolve into myriad forms.
Especially during the Da Xuan Dynasty, it reached its peak.
The four great masters under Emperor Xuan’s throne are proof.
The martial arts of these four, even today, remain the top-notch Absolute Skill in the world.
And though the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique is separated by thousands of years, it is ultimately the Imperial Secret Technique of the Black Dragon Ancient Country, and surely has its unique aspects regardless.
Of course, he didn’t expect to master this martial arts immediately.
He only wished to bring it back to the Jinglong Association, allowing many masters to study and innovate from it, using it as a foundation to restore the former glory of this Divine Skill.
As for now... he actually had another plan in mind.
The martial arts he studied was the Emperor’s Shocking World Book.
This is the Imperial Absolute Technique.
Created by the first generation Emperor Xuan.
Later acquired by the First Shock of the Jinglong Association.
The First Shock relied on this Divine Skill to establish the Jinglong Association, laying down the foundation for hundreds of years.
Unfortunately, after the First Shock passed away, those who could master this martial arts to the level of the Longmen Jing Emperor were few and far between.
Countless died under this skill.
In recent decades, it has been largely ignored.
The Sixth Shock considered himself extraordinary, while others feared this martial arts like a tiger, he confidently believed he could succeed.
And indeed, he proved capable of mastering it.
Not only did he succeed, but he also sought hundreds of Death Soldiers to practice this skill, eventually all but one perished due to Deviation.
As for the Death Soldier who mastered this martial arts, he was the one Su Mo killed outside the Martial God Temple earlier.
That person is dead, no need to say more.
As for the Sixth Shock, he mastered the first five grades of the Nine Layers of the Emperor’s Shocking World Book.
Although not as dazzling as the seven stages mastered by the first First Shock.
Yet his martial arts surpassed the Seventh Shock.
And for this skill, he was held in high regard.
In the past, he was quite proud of it, but last year, after he went to Donghuang to bring back the Longmen Sect Third Jing, his martial arts were seen through at a glance by this Longmen Sect Third Jing.
Then he was told something the Sixth Shock had never thought of.
Namely how to cultivate the Emperor’s Shocking World Book to the Ninth stage!
This is the true purpose why the Sixth Shock changed his appearance and secretly followed Su Mo to infiltrate the Martial God Temple.
Otherwise, given his temperament.
Since Su Mo is here, he would surely cause trouble from afar and definitely not linger near Su Mo.
But now, he is forced to take such a risk.
If he succeeds, he will be the foremost master under heaven, even Su Mo might not be taken seriously.
If he fails...
The Sixth Shock never considered this thought.
At least so far, apart from Su Mo unexpectedly breaking through the Stone Forest Illusion Array, everything else is under his control.
With this thought, he paused his steps and heard the sound of breaking through the wind.
As he looked up, he saw three or five vines suddenly appear.
Aiming at his limbs separately.
"Sure enough, there is this ghost thing."
The Sixth Shock sneered, taking an item from his bosom and tossing it casually.
The vines lashed suddenly, with a snap, shattering the item.
White powder instantly scattered everywhere.
It fell all over the Sixth Shock.
As soon as the vines touched this powder, they immediately retracted.
Seeing this, the Sixth Shock breathed a sigh of relief:
"At last, I was not deceived..."
Stepping out, he saw before him a Bei Forest.
Countless steles stood, seemingly endless.
Between the gaps of the steles, peculiar flowers and grasses flourished.
In the distance, the sound of flowing water could still be heard.
"Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array!"
The Sixth Shock sighed lightly, suppressing his excitement.
With a sway of his steps, he had already entered the Bei Forest.
Given its name, it is undoubtedly an Array.
Deep within, the Sixth Shock looked back only to find the road out was lost.
He nodded softly, undeterred, observing as he suddenly strode forward, mumbling to himself:
"Qian Three, Dui Six, Kan Yi, Zewu..."
This Array was still based on the Eight Diagrams directions.
With the Sixth Shock’s recitation, he stepped forward step by step.
The chant was complex, the Sixth Shock held back his apprehension, quickening his pace, and after one pot of tea, the Bei Forest disappeared completely.
Looking up, he was stunned.
Undoubtedly, now he was at the core of the Bei Forest.
The core formed a circular stone platform, surrounding which was flowing water like jade ribbons.
Looking farther, he could see towering walls, mottled with green moss, water flowing downward continuously, appearing to be the power source for various mechanisms within the Martial God Temple.
