Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1017 406: Immortality? (Part 3)
“I may not be fully aware of their intentions, but from the current situation, I have understood part of it.
“People arriving on Longmu Island generally fall into two categories.
“One category is doctors, and the other is various Jianghu experts.
“Doctors deciphering the Medical Scripture can enhance their own medical skills, and I believe the Longmu Island Master isn’t lying about this.
“Elder Du mentioned that the so-called Medical Scripture actually originates from the Heavenly Tablet.
“There must be another mystery to it.
“However, even if their medical skills improve, they no longer belong to themselves.
“Years ago, the Great Medical Officer on Longmu Island disappeared…”
He paused slightly, couldn’t help but glance back toward the direction of the Cold Pond, then continued:
“So, even if these people are indeed exceptional and outstanding,
“they would still become puppets in the hands of the Longmu Island Master, to perform a very important task for him…”
Little Situ suddenly realized: “That so-called Island Master selection?”
“Exactly, the Island Master selection must choose the person with the highest martial arts among those present.
“And this person might…”
He paused slightly, then said in a deep voice: “Might be replaced with the Longmu Island Master’s head.”
Little Situ couldn’t help but gasp:
“This… isn’t it another form of immortality?”
“Immortality…”
Su Mo sighed, “Anyone with power over the world, which one doesn’t desire immortality?
“Even this small island of Longmu, just a tiny piece of land, harbors such desire.
“But it seems the real key lies with the Heavenly Tablet.
“If the Heavenly Tablet indeed grants immortality…
“It could possibly have extraordinary effects on the damage to your Three Yin and Three Yang Six Meridians.”
Little Situ nodded slightly but took a deep breath:
“Brother Su, there are too many unexpected aspects to this matter.
“There are also many hidden dangers.
“I… I don’t know what to say…
“I want to advise you not to risk yourself for me.
“The damage to the Three Yin and Three Yang Six Meridians has existed for many years, and I’ve grown accustomed to it.
“If I had to choose between being able to move my legs or your life, I would unquestionably choose the latter.
“But… I also know that Brother Su, your martial skills are unparalleled.
“What appears dangerous to ordinary people, you can surely overcome…
“It’s just that I can’t help but worry…”
Su Mo paused in his steps upon hearing this, suddenly smiled, and reached out to ruffle Little Situ’s hair:
“Just trust me.”
“I do trust you.”
Little Situ nodded vigorously: “It’s just that it would be better if it weren’t so dangerous.”
“Foolish words.”
Su Mo laughed: “Whenever there’s a miraculous item, there will be those who covet it. The more dangerous this matter is, the more it shows… it’s greatly beneficial to you.
“Furthermore, it may not necessarily be dangerous for me.
“If it weren’t for the timing not being right, I would indeed want to go now and take off the Longmu Island Master’s head.”
When he said this, a glimmer of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
How could the Head Swapping Technique be underestimated?
From the current situation, the technique hasn’t been perfected yet.
Therefore, the Longmu Island Master still needs more Medical Saints.
Moreover, for this, they’ve conducted numerous attempts.
The Evil Law likely stems from this.
Their hands are stained with countless blood debts.
Even dying ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough to forgive their sins.
Though Su Mo isn’t exactly a kind-hearted hero, how could he not feel the surge of murderous intent seeing this?
But he carefully concealed this murderous intent.
Instead, he casually chatted with Little Situ about other topics.
However, as they chatted, Little Situ grew curious again:
“Brother Su, as the Old Man said.
“Back then, the Hidden Doctor Saint fled overseas with the Heavenly Tablet.
“Did they eventually succeed in creating the Immortality Elixir?”
When Su Mo heard this, he fell into a silence.
About Emperor Xuan wanting to create the Immortality Elixir, Su Mo only knows that only the potion of separation serves as evidence.
Emperor Xuan intended to become immortal and conducted countless attempts.
The potion of separation was born from this.
Based on the words of Ding Wugong and his group, something unknown happened to the Da Xuan Dynasty back then.
Overnight, the dynasty collapsed.
The Da Xuan’s hinterland even became a ghost labyrinth on Earth.
A place hardly accessible to living beings.
Before Jun Luo’s assistance, Wusheng Hall made several attempts to venture in, but suffered heavy losses each time.
It wasn’t until they had Jun Luo, with the map on the Mysterious Mechanism to aid them.
That they made some progress.
Nevertheless, these dangers in the Da Xuan’s hinterland are exceptional.
The four corners of the world, naturally linking to Da Xuan’s hinterland as a center.
Logically speaking, if Su Mo wanted to go to Xizhou, the best method was to go directly through Da Xuan’s hinterland to Xizhou.
Unfortunately, he could attempt it personally, but taking his family at such risk is far from an ideal plan.
Evaluating from this perspective, it ties back to what the Old Man said just now.
[Many officials advised against it, claiming that creating the elixir would invite Heavenly Misfortune.]
Was the change in the Da Xuan’s hinterland caused by the Heavenly Misfortune invited by the Immortality Elixir?
If this were really the case, does it mean… the Immortality Pill was indeed created?
Might it truly exist in Da Xuan’s Armory?
The world competes fiercely for the seven Mysterious Mechanisms, coveting the treasures found by Emperor Xuan in Jianghu during his seven forays, and the Divine Skill Secret Books.
Who could have imagined that such a miracle item might exist among them?
If this item truly exists…
If known to the world, there would surely be countless vying for the Mysterious Mechanisms!
But if that elixir was indeed created, did Emperor Xuan actually consume it?
These matters, being from so long ago, are truly untraceable now.
However, Su Mo always feels an intricate connection with the Mysterious Mechanism, one that cannot be disentangled.
Perhaps, after circling around, he will inevitably have to make a journey to Da Xuan’s Armory…

ps: I really wish I could add more for everyone… Alas, my heart is willing but my strength insufficient…
