Chapter 507: Chapter 508: Eight Great Martial Arts
“Junior Brother, I am Chu Jiarui. Would you do me the honor of visiting my True Inheritor Peak for some tea?”
“Forget the tea, I have a bottle of spiritual wine from the Secret Realm that I’ve been saving and haven’t had the heart to open. Junior Brother Zhong, would you like to try it?”
“Senior Brother Zhong, I exchanged for the first layer’s cultivation method of the ’Undying Scripture’ with the sect, but I have been unable to get started. I hope Senior Brother can offer me some guidance.”
“Junior Brother Zhong…”
“Senior Brother Zhong…”
Zhong Lin refined his entire spiritual origin and body with the Netherworld Black Lotus. Now, his Realm is stable, condensed an Undying Body, and his cultivation has greatly increased.
These onlookers are no fools; anyone who can overcome the Netherworld Black Lotus tribulation has boundless potential. What’s more, the person before them is the sect’s Sixth Saint Heir. Naturally, each one came to forge a connection, even if just to become acquainted.
Previously, Zhong Lin was known because of the Undying Evil Emperor’s legacy, but now his fame will spread completely.
Heavenly Sword Sacred Land’s Sixth Saint Heir.
Soon enough, everyone in the sect, the Sword Domain, and even the Eastern Desolate will know the name Zhong Lin.
Six steps to the Sixth Layer Heaven, transcending the Death Tribulation.
In future cultivation, as long as he accumulates primordial qi, his path will be smooth and unhindered.
Zhong Lin didn’t have a haughty attitude; instead, he smiled and returned salutations to everyone. Although he declined all offers, he still left a pleasant impression as if a spring breeze.
Among the crowd, Wan Yuze had already left, but this wasn’t of great significance to Zhong Lin. At this moment, he followed a disciple towards a palace in the city center.
“Senior Brother Zhong, I can only escort you up to here.”
The guiding disciple stopped at the front of a palace, respectfully saying.
“Thank you, Junior Brother. These are some elixirs I recently made, take them.”
Zhong Lin waved his hand, shooting several Purple Mansion Pills into the disciple’s hand.
The Purple Mansion Pill is a Sixth Grade Elixir, perfect for rewarding disciples.
The disciple felt the elixirs in his hand and his smile widened, quickly bowing: “Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong. If you need anything in the future, just call on me.”
Zhong Lin nodded, then turned to survey the palace before him.
It was more like a palace complex, with temple halls everywhere, each level taller than the last, reaching into the Nine Layers Heaven, making people feel as if they were worshiping a heavenly palace from above.
Clouds and fog surrounded, primordial qi diffused, like a palace of heaven, a city within the clouds.
A large plaque hung above, the three words “Heavenly Sword Palace” made people not dare to look directly, as if a Heavenly Sword really cut through the void, splitting the earth.
Before approaching, a familiar figure appeared in sight.
Zhong Lin quickly flew forward, bowed, and saluted, “Elder Taixu.”
“Finished socializing?” Elder Taixu said with a smile.
Zhong Lin scrubbed his head awkwardly, “The senior brothers were too enthusiastic; I couldn’t bear to disregard their intentions.”
“Not bad, blending in with the crowd, unlike that old fellow, your master, whose temper is as bad as a dog. What a pity I was a step slow back then!”
Void King sighed. He had also seen Zhong Lin’s “feat” of the six steps to Sixth Layer Heaven, regretting even more that during the outer sect competition, he didn’t get to recruit Zhong Lin into his fold before Xi Xuan did.
“Let’s go! The Supreme Leader is waiting for you.”
“Yes.”
The two walked towards Heavenly Sword Palace, not flying, but stepping up the stairs one step at a time.
“After becoming a Saint Heir, you can choose one of the Eight Great Martial Arts of the sect to cultivate. The ’Heart Space Reflecting God’ I taught you before doesn’t count. Have you decided which to choose? By the way, do you know the Eight Great Martial Arts?”
“I only know roughly. Second Senior Brother once mentioned some things, Master and Senior Brother cultivate the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ among the Eight Great Martial Arts.”
“That’s right, Xi Xuan earned the title of Thunder Sword King after breaking through to the King Realm thanks to the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra.’ Each of the Eight Great Martial Arts of our Heavenly Sword Sacred Land possesses world-destroying power, standing among the pinnacle of martial arts in the entire Qingyuan World. This is why our Heavenly Sword Sacred Land stands at this foundation, controlling the Sword Domain.”
Void King proudly said, “Prison Control Heart Sutra, Heart Space Reflecting God, Void Sword Formation, Purgatory Sword Sea, Unification Sword Skill, All Phenomena Return to Truth, Frost Snow for a Thousand Years, Spirit Blood Sacrifice, each martial art has its focus and is equal in level. Only the Saint Heir or those who break through the Nirvana Realm have the qualification to practice one of them. Those who contribute greatly to the sect may also receive rewards. I was able to teach you ’Heart Space Reflecting God’ because you contributed the ’Undying Scripture’ and ’Form and Spirit Fist’ to the sect.”
Zhong Lin appeared surprised, “But the ’Taiwei Spiritual Mind Heavenly Earth Cave Heavenly Scripture’ that Master gave me…”
“It’s merely an incomplete version, how can it compare with the Eight Great Martial Arts of our Sacred Land?” Void King sneered, continuing, “The ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ is the way of thunder, ’Heart Space Reflecting God’ cultivates the way of the spirit god. As for the latter six, they are all Sword Dao.
’Void Sword Formation,’ using Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to deploy a Sword Array. Inside, it evolves into a chaotic void, trapping enemies within, facing endless sword light attacks, real yet illusionary, targeting the heart, attacking the enemy invisibly.
’Spirit Blood Sacrifice,’ using the blood of ten thousand beings as an offering to gather endless slaughter intent, forging a bloodthirsty demonic sword. When the sword is drawn, red light surges to the heavens, slaughtering the world.
’Purgatory Sword Sea,’ unleashes a vast sea of swords. Each sword burns with hellfire, carrying intense curses of pain. Once trapped within, one suffers endless torment of purgatory until the soul is scattered.
’Unification Sword Skill,’ integrating one’s Sword Dao will with the great dao of heaven and earth. With every gesture, heaven and earth respond, and ten thousand swords resonate, reaching the supreme realm of Human Sword Unity, Unity of Heaven and Man. All things can be swords, slaying anything and everything.
’Frost Brilliance Thousand Years,’ absorbing the icy power between heaven and earth, condensing into a Frost Sword brilliance that lasts a thousand years. Wherever the Sword Qi reaches, all things freeze, all things wither.
’All Phenomena Return to Truth,’ taking the myriad things of heaven and earth as a teacher, blending the changes of the world into Sword Intent. When the sword is drawn, it can cause either mountains to collapse, the ground to split, waves to be colossal, or the powers of nature at will.”
Void King leisurely explained the Eight Great Martial Arts, watching Zhong Lin with a teasing gaze, “So, have you decided which one to choose?”
I want all of them.
Zhong Lin almost blurted out, drooling.
“Actually, I don’t recommend you choose again. Each of the Eight Great Martial Arts is a supreme inheritance, whose creators are all legendary Grandmasters of the God Realm. Being able to cultivate one alone already entails endless effort. Even I primarily cultivate the ’Void Sword Formation,’ and only comprehend ’Heart Space Reflecting God’ somewhat. Your master is the same. Though you have Transcendent insight, it is easier to trap yourself the more you dive into it. Be aware that cultivation is the foundation.” Void King said gravely.
“What the hell do you know?”
A high-pitched scold came from the void, accompanied by a flash of electricity. Xi Xuan’s figure appeared before the two.
“Hahaha, my good disciple, let your master have a look.”
