Huang Yichen’s gaze, fixed on the volume of bone books, said, “That’s the Xuanwu Sacred Canon, even if, it’s just a fragmented transcription, it’s still a supreme treasure of immense value. As long as it is taken out for auction, there will surely be many Saint Sectors competing for it.”
Zhang Ruochen snatched the Xuanwu Sacred Canon back from Little Black’s paw and held it in his hands as he flipped through it.
Sure enough, it was only a remnant scroll.
Zhang Ruochen closed the bone book and raised his head, saying, “Legend has it that in ancient times, the Xuanwu Clan’s cultivation techniques were always passed down by the bloodline, and only when the mysterious power of the bloodline was aroused, the techniques would appear in the mind of the young Xuanwu.”
“That kind of gong method, the sages of the Human Race, called it the Xuanwu Mystical Sect, and it was said to be a divine level gong method secret, and only pure-blooded Xuanwu, knew the cultivation method.”
“Later, the Human Race prospered greatly, gradually rising in the Great Wasteland and establishing the Human Civilisation Kingdom. Some Xuanwu transformed into human forms and intermarried with humans, giving birth to children with both Xuanwu bloodline and human bloodline, known as Xuanwu half-human race.”
“Thus, there was a strong person from the Xuanwu clan who, on top of the foundation of the Xuanwu Secret Sect, created a technique suitable for the Xuanwu Half-Human Race to cultivate, which is the Xuanwu Sacred Canon.”
“The Xuanwu Sacred Canon, which is not only suitable for the Xuanwu half-human race to cultivate, but also suitable for humans to cultivate, belongs to a King Grade Middle Grade cultivation technique.”
“It’s a pity that later on, the ancient divine beasts, suffered a catastrophe of extinction, Xuanwu, Kunpeng, Peac*ck, Divine Dragon, and Kirin, almost all of them disappeared in the Kunlun Realm, and even if there are still surviving descendants of the divine beasts, they are all of an impure bloodline, and can’t be compared to the pure-blooded ancient divine beasts at all.”
“Having lost the shelter of the divine beast clan, how could the Xuanwu half-human race possibly guard the Xuanwu Sacred Code? Amidst the looting and killing of humans, the Xuanwu Half-Human Race has gone through an unknown number of calamities, and to be able to preserve one-fifth of the remnants of the scrolls is already quite remarkable.”
Back then, the Peac*ck Sacred Canon that Zhang Ruochen had passed on to Kong Xuan was actually only a remnant scroll, less than one-tenth of the entire volume.
Huang Yichen said, “Even if it’s only a fifth of the remnant volume, it’s already quite remarkable, comparable to a completed King Grade Lower Grade cultivation technique.”
“As far as I know, even some of the saints in the Sacred Courtyard, many of them are only cultivating Ghost Grade Intermediate and Ghost Grade Upper Grade cultivation techniques and secrets, and only the top geniuses have the opportunity to come into contact with a King Grade Lower Grade technique.”
“The vast majority of those Fish Dragon Realm cultivators from small clans and sects can only cultivate Spirit Grade and Ghost Grade Lower Grade technique secrets. If they want to cultivate Ghost Grade mid-grade martial arts, they must join Half-Saint clans and Sage sects as servants and family generals.”
“Just like the Heavenly Demon Ridge’s Yuntai Sect House, as a fourth-rate sect with a half-saint in attendance, the most powerful technique is only the ghost-level lower-grade Supreme Sage Qiankun Technique, and moreover, there’s only one copy of it.”
“Even the Supreme Sacred Qiankun Kung Fu is already the town treasure of the Yuntai Sect Mansion, and only the next Sect Master will have the opportunity to cultivate it. An ordinary Fish Dragon Realm cultivator can only cultivate a Spirit level technique.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “That’s right, a King Grade technique, even if it’s only a King Grade Lower Grade, will definitely cause an uproar once it’s circulated. Even though the Xuanwu Sacred Canon is only a remnant scroll, it is still a very remarkable treasure.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Senior Sister Smoky Dust, the technique you are currently cultivating is at the Ghost Grade Upper Grade level, right?”
Huang Yichen knew very well that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was very powerful, so it was not surprising at all for Zhang Ruochen to be able to see through the rank of the gongfu she was cultivating.
She nodded and said, “I cultivate the Ghost Grade Upper Grade Wind and Cloud Skill, which was passed down to me by the Mother Empress, and I have now cultivated it to the fifth level. According to the Mother Empress, cultivating to the tenth layer will allow me to break through to the Half-Saint realm.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and asked in some confusion, “As far as I know, your Mother Empress, who was once a top genius of the Chen Clan, how come she can only cultivate a Ghost Grade Upper Grade technique secret?”
Huang Yichen’s mother’s name was Chen Liuli, now known as the “Liuli Half-Saint”, and when she was young, she had entered the top 50 of the Heavenly Ranking.
A king grade technique was unattainable for ordinary martial artists, but what kind of huge family was the Chen family? How could it not have one or two volumes of king grade techniques?
Chen Liuli was so highly gifted, moreover, she was able to step into the Half-Saint realm at such a young age, and in the future, she even had the hope to cross into the Saint realm, how could she not have the opportunity to come into contact with a King Grade gongfu?
Huang Yichen sighed, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said somewhat helplessly, ”You don’t understand, in a big family like the Chen family, a woman’s status is ultimately inferior to that of a man. Unless, her natural talent, is so high that she is able to enter the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, otherwise, it is simply impossible for her to have the opportunity to cultivate a king level technique secret.”
“There is no way that the Chen Clan would easily let a king level technique circulate, because, a king level technique is the root of the Chen Clan’s prosperity and thriving. Not to mention a king-level gongfu, even a ghost-level gongfu would be able to attract many talented individuals to come and join the Chen Clan.”
“Besides, even for the male descendants of the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion, only the top five of each generation would have the chance to cultivate a king-level technique.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and handed the bone book containing the Xuanwu Sacred Canon to Huang Yichen, saying, “After you break through to the Fish Dragon Realm, you can switch to another technique, and at that time, just major in the Xuanwu Sacred Canon! Although, the Xuanwu Sacred Canon isn’t complete, it’s still dozens of times superior to the Wind Lightning Skill you’re currently cultivating.”
The Wind Lightning Skill was a Ghost Grade Upper Grade technique, and as long as one cultivated it diligently, there was also a chance to reach the Saint realm.
However, how could the Wind Lightning Skill be compared to the Xuanwu Sacred Canon?
That was the remnants of a king-level mid-grade gongfu secret, so how could Huang Yichen not be moved?
Cultivating a King Grade gongfu had at least three major advantages:
Firstly, with a high grade gong method, the cultivation speed of the cultivator would definitely be faster, almost several times, or even dozens of times, that of a lower grade gong method.
Secondly, when a cultivator cultivated a king-level gongfu, his combat power in the same realm far exceeded that of a martial artist who cultivated a ghost-level gongfu.
Third, cultivating a high grade gongfu made it easier to communicate the rules of heaven and earth and comprehend the Sacred Way. In a simple sentence, the chances of becoming a saint were greater than others.
Huang Yichen hesitated a bit, pursed his lips, and said, ”It’s too expensive! The Xuanwu Sacred Canon is, after all, a trophy that you obtained only after killing the Yellow God Star Envoy, and it even represents Xuanwu’s inheritance. I.”
Without waiting for Huang Yichen to finish his sentence, Zhang Ruochen directly shoved the Xuanwu Sacred Canon, which was recorded on top of the bone book, into Huang Yichen’s hands, saying, “It’s just a broken and incomplete technique, it’s not like it’s the legendary Xuanwu Tantric Sect. Take it! In the future, if I want to comprehend the Xuanwu Sacred Canon, I’ll just borrow it from you again to view it.”
“Since, you must give it to me, I won’t be polite!”
Huang Yichen also stopped being pretentious and collected the bone book, as if it was a treasure, carefully storing it in a spatial ring.
Even her mother “Liuli Half-Saint” and father “Thousand Waters County King” as a great person, did not have the opportunity to access the king-level techniques, but she got a volume, it must be said, Huang Yichen’s mood is extremely good, originally cold face above, also showed a trace of smile!.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Huang Yichen’s delicate and absolutely beautiful face, and that smile felt like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, blowing away the coldness of winter and giving a very warm feeling.
He couldn’t help but say, “Senior sister, in fact, you should smile more, smiling is really very charming.”
Huang Yichen immediately put away her smile and became cold as ice again, her two rows of long eyelashes arched upwards, saying, “Are you flirting with me?”
Little Black interjected, saying, “It can only be considered a compliment, not a molestation.”
Zhang Ruochen just smiled faintly, not feeling that he was molesting her or complimenting her, but just casually uttered a word from his heart.
In fact, Huang Yichen was in a very happy mood, only, she didn’t want to show her emotions so obviously.
How could the words of a fiancé be considered molestation?
Even if it was really molestation, it was still something very sweet and romantic.
If Zhang Ruochen was able to say a few more words, compliments or flirting, perhaps she wouldn’t be able to tense up that cold face, and would immediately reveal a happy smile, pouncing into Zhang Ruochen’s arms, revealing her little womanly side.
It was a pity that Zhang Ruochen did not say any more, instead, his expression became serious and he said in a serious manner, “Huang Shenyi cultivates the Xuanwu Sacred Canon, moreover, it’s still a remnant scroll, so I’m guessing that what he has obtained isn’t the inheritance of the true Ancient Xuanwu.”
“This Emperor also thinks so.”
Little Black nodded as well and said, “Pure-blooded Xuanwu have long been extinct. The inheritance that Huang Shenyi obtained should have come from a certain Xuanwu descendant.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “To be able to cultivate Xuanwu Qi is definitely not an ordinary Xuanwu descendant, it must have reached the Saint level.”
Xiao: “Among the Xuanwu descendants, the three most powerful races are, Ice Water Xuanwu, Green Fire Xuanwu, and Nine Headed Xuanwu. Based on the aura emanating from the top of that volume of bone books, I can be certain that what Huang Shenyi obtained should be the inheritance of an eighth ranked Green Fire Xuanwu.”
Huang Yanxian was a bit surprised and said, “The strength of an eighth rank savage beast already surpasses that of a human Saint. Not to mention an eighth ranked Greenfire Xuanwu, its strength is even more terrifying. How could such a powerful being be born from a medium market realm in the district?”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was grave as he said, “The Xuanwu Market Realm was originally one of the top medium market realms, so even if an Eighth Order Savage Beast was born, there is nothing surprising about it.”
Little Black heatedly smiled and said, “Zhang Ruochen, what are your next plans?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I just used my spiritual power and felt a special aura above the bone book. With this aura, it shouldn’t be difficult to locate the Xuanwu Inheritance Ground as long as we reach the Xuanwu Market Realm.”
