Chapter 27: Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law (1) (2/2)
Opposite of Nan Huairen’s excitement, Li Qiye simply said: “But in the end, the one that had received the Heaven’s Will was still Immortal Emperor Ta Kong.”
Li Qiye’s words were like a cold water bucket hitting the face of Nan Huairen. He suddenly lost his will to speak and dejectedly said: “It was rumored that they had one last fight, and then Grand Elder Mu never appeared again. Some say that he died during the battle, others said that he met his origin inside the sect.”
“What about the three middle levels, do they contain anything?” Li Qiye looked up and asked. He was only given the rights to the first three levels.
“Master said that he had been through there twice, but the number of manuals there can be counted on one’s fingers.”
Li Qiye was silent. It seemed like the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was only a name; what kind of Immortal Emperor lineage only had a few Emperor level manuals? This was also part of why it started its decline.
Finally, Li Qiye, at the third level, chose an offensive technique manual, a Life Wheel technique in the second, and a bunch of different scrolls from the first.
Nan Huairen saw a total of one hundred and twenty different manuals, and he silently said: “Senior, these manuals are just martial arts, and they are not worth mentioning. Anyone in the sect can look at them; do you want to change to something else?”
“I have my own calculations.” Li Qiye shook his head.
Nan Huairen quickly gathered these techniques to check them out. Nan Huairen knew that Li Qiye was very methodical, and everything he did had a clear logic behind it.
When Li Qiye and Nan Huairen carried the numerous manuals to the front, the other disciples looked at him as if they saw the village fool. Even the disciples responsible for checking out looked at him weirdly.
“Elder said you could only pick three different manuals.” One of the disciples checked the order from Li Qiye again and said.
Li Qiye slowly answered: “I know. I only picked one cultivation technique and one Life Wheel method, and the third I did not pick. As for these martial arts manuals, Huairen said that anyone could look at them. This includes me right?”
The disciples looked around and ended their gaze at the protector in command, waiting for his decision.
They counted the different books: “Total there are forty-four specialized martial arts manuals, thirty-six hybrid martial arts manuals, and forty body training manuals.”
These martial arts, here, had no value even when compared to other martial art manuals. The disciples were surprised at Li Qiye’s choices.
From the dust collected on these manuals, it was clear that no one had ever read them before.
The spectating disciples couldn’t help but start laughing at Li Qiye and his choosing more than one hundred martial arts manuals.
“The idiot can’t tell what’s good and bad. Even if you study all of the martial arts in the world, you will still only become an average person at best.” A student said in a condescending manner.
Another one joined the fray: “Senior w.a.n.g, this is called knowing your own limits. Cultivational Merit Laws aren’t meant for those with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life Wheel, and Mortal Fate Palace. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to cultivate to the foundation level in even ten years, so he took a step back to learn martial arts instead!”
