Chapter 72 (1/2)
”Immemorial secret treasure 'Five Spirits Law Heavenly Book'?”
The ancient and secret treasure phrases that Wu Xinjie spoke of made the people present all draw in a cold breath.
A thousand years have yet to pass since the ninth Liangshan Continent Star Duels. The time before these thousand years was known to everyone as the Ancient Wild,[1 上古蠻荒] and the even more ancient time was known as the Immemorial Great Desolation1. That perhaps was a world of hundreds of millions of years of primal chaos. An ancient secret treasure absolutely would make the entire Liangshan surge into chaos.
”Didn't we hear that this was the Blooming Water Sword Sect's founder's original secret technique? Could it be said that he was an immemorial cultivator?” An Suwen leisurely entered the room and heard Wu Xinjie's terrifying tale. The Knowledge Star had extreme talent, ability and insight vast as the ocean, and no one would doubt what she said.
”And that's why I said the Blooming Water Sword Sect is the swindler.” The Knowledge Star giggled.
The Five Spirits Heavenly Book altogether was divided into the Five Elements and five scrolls, recording Liangshan's Five Elements Great Secret Technique. Regarding the Five Elements Astonishing Thunders' cultivation, perhaps no other text of secret arts could be even more comprehensive than the Five Spirits Heavenly Book. For anyone that received one of these scrolls, even if it was not a Five Elements Astonishing Thunder that could be refined into a great power, this Five Spirits Heavenly Book was the ”Blooming Water Scroll.”
”The cultivator that began the Blooming Water Sword Sect posed himself as the creator. Besides founding the school, he even made the cosmetic change 'Blooming Water Divine Thunder True Technique.' What is he if not a cheat.” Wu Xinjie coldly smiled. This method of duping the entire Liangshan Continent for the past several hundreds of years was truly awesome. However, this did concern the Five Spirits Heavenly Book that simply was never before seen by anyone.
”And we don't know how he obtained this Five Spirits Heavenly Book.”
Everyone contemplated this.
Shi Yuan clapped her hands to interrupt their pondering, smiling: ”Since it's an Immemorial Secret Treasure, then Su Xing, you really picked up something for cheap. This Young Lady has now satisfactorily completed the mission. I, on the other hand, will go study very meticulously this Mo Attack Mechanism Records, so I won't be keeping you company.”
Su Xing's opened his mouth, apparently also not having any reason to detain the Thief Star. Nodding, he said: ”Then you be a bit more careful!”2
”Many thanks for the young master's concern!”
Shi Yuan winked.
”Su Xing, you too. They definitely will not let you go for this Immemorial Secret Treasure.”
”Shi Yuan, don't you want to be together with us?” Wu Xinjie glanced at Su Xing, openly saying: ”Since you helped us steal this secret treasure, the Blooming Water Sword Sect won't let you go either.”
”Let them bring it on. This Young Lady isn't afraid at all.” The Thief Star scoffed. Opening the door, she was just about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. Smiling as she turned around: ”This Young Lady heard that sect's people say Relic Blade Sand was recently discovered at Bian City, but a Supercluster Cultivator has reportedly also appeared. Su Xing, if you were just a bit more bold, then you actually could go take a look.”
After she said these words, her figure jumped, and left without looking back just like that.
”Shi Qian truly goes her own way.”3
Su Xing held the Five Spirits Heavenly Book Blooming Water Scroll. Crooked characters the size of tadpoles on the surface of the paper floated up. These characters were very peculiar, appearing to be just like a river, faintly carrying a chill that intimidated people.
Practicing the secret technique recorded, Su Xing practiced according to what was written once, and sure enough, it was extraordinary. The originally seemingly dying Blooming Water Divine Thunder nurtured inside his body flowed swiftly like rivers. A boundless majesty, it almost wanted to break out of his body. Fortunately, Su Xing had an absolutely valiant ocean of consciousness. Matching the Absolute Sincerity Soul Technique to this intensifying Blooming Water Divine Thunder to suppress it.
Then, he started to refine it bit by bit.
The Blooming Water Divine Thunder gradually turned dark from its initial light color.
When Su Xing started to refine the Blooming Water Divine Thunder's power, Wu Xinjie and Lin Yingmei kept close by at his side.
”Shi Qian kissed Master!” Lin Yingmei abruptly uttered this sentence aloud.
Wu Xinjie nearly choked. She looked at the Majestic Star, amazed. ”The Thief Star and Master kissed?”
”En.” Lin Yingmei felt that she needed to inform this matter to her. A Star Maiden kissing the Master of other Star Generals was too strange.
The Knowledge Star clearly understood that the Thief Star was probably moved by Su Xing. Thinking about it, it seemed to be the case. Daring to go with her to the Blooming Water Sword Sect to face danger, this absolutely was not an ordinary sort of trust. When the Thief Star originally raised this request, it was hard to avoid not probing Su Xing's intentions. She could not help recalling that she originally took a lot of trouble as well as twists and turns, even unscrupulously plotting against Lin Yingmei to sign a contract with Su Xing.
