Chapter 284: The Future Maker
Sila's feet landed on the flowing grass, which bounced back up after he stepped forward Aside from a small hut in front of him, this dimension seemed to be a vast meadoith no boundaries It was yet another peaceful place Sila had personally visited in Monster Soul
So far, there were only three places that Sila had taken a liking to due to their tranquility The first was the Cave of I of cal next to a still pond The atmosphere was peaceful as he could becoing silently in the dark sky He got to respect the greatness of nature without any interruptions The next place was the Desert of Death at night That place was cold due to the wind and the sky was an endless sea of stars with no clouds blocking it Nohe believed he had beconificant he actually was under such a vast and beautiful sky Corain of sand, yet it was still undeniably a part of entle wind accohtened his ave hi him
Joshua showed no reaction as if he didn't notice Sila's arrival Heat the table located next to the hut Nevertheless, once Sila probed his surroundings, he found that there were three cups on the table, indicating that the two house owners had anticipated their guest
”Please sit, Sila,” Joshua said with a sestured to an empty chair
Sila approached the two of them and leisurely sat down ”Mister Joshua, you said you would tell ed to properly meet you face-to-face”
Joshua put his cup down ”Certainly No matter what questions you ask, if I know the answers, I will hold nothing back”
”Please enjoy the tea, Sila” Cynthia poured tea into Sila's eulp
”I previously thought you would use a direct approach to reach this place, Sila Unexpectedly, you relied on an unorthodox method I didn't think of to meet me instead”
Sila instantly replied, ”I didn't have many choices This was the fastest way”
Cynthia silently poured more tea into Sila's cup At thatthe tea He lifted the cup up and sipped it, before putting it down Since tea still remained in his cup, there wouldn't be an attempt to refill it
Joshua opened his systeaze over it shortly and said to Sila, ”Your current synchronization rate is already at 67, which is rather high”
”I don't want to know about that There are other things I would like to know,” Sila replied indifferently
”If you don't ask, there is no way I would knohat answers I should give you, Sila Don't you agree?”
Sila stopped and pondered Joshua's way of talking was seely open-ht to the point
”Mister Joshua, how are you related to the Wulin Masters association?”
Joshua's eyes expressed a hint of surprise ”So Cloud Qi is worthy of being ranked within the Five Croels As expected of the ed so much, Sila?”
Sila didn't reply to that He calmly waited for Joshua to answer his previous question
”I don't have any particular role in the association You can say that I'm only half-related to it My inner force is artificial while reedy for knowledge Profound arts just happened to be one of the topics I'reed to help each other Our relationshi+p is a kind of mutual benefit”
Joshua's ansas quite clear, yet it triggered another question
”In that case, what kind of exchanges do you and the association have?”
”I give therant me a chance to study profound arts in return”
Sila frowned as he found the stateot a chance to study the association's profound arts, why did you tell me that your martial arts are only subpar?”
Joshua replied to Sila's question with a gentle s martial arts I didn't study profound arts in order to practice them, I just wanted to understand their mechanisms and characteristics For example, what exactly are profound arts? How do they work? What is the origin of inner force? What kind of energy is it? Questions like those are why I a an outsider I swore I wouldn't practice the arts or impart them to others”
”The Profound Library? This isabout it, it must be a very important place”
”Yes Only the Wulin Lord, the Three Elders, and a few selected individuals are allowed to enter”
”What kind of technology did you give thee”
”There areone of them yourself, Sila It's Monster Soul”
In the past, Bluebird had told Sila that there wereMonster Soul coanificant, so he barely paid attention Unexpectedly, Bluebird's intel was proved to be spot on two ti about it sent a chill down Sila's spine
”Could you please explain more?”
”Of course” Joshua sipped his tea ”Excuse , but have you heard about antique profound arts, Sila?”
Sila immediately shook his head Not to mention the historical matters, he only found out about the current Five Croels recently
”Let me tell you that profound arts have been around for more than a thousand years I speculate that people in the past caainst each other They were then passed on to later generations However, profound arts are not widespread these days Do you knohy?”
Sila felt like he was a kid who took an exaain
”Based on s, I conclude that it was due to the mindset of people in the past Profound arts were the result of their blood and effort, so they carow attached to them, maybe even dearer than their own lives They imparted the entirety of the arts to only a few of their selected descendants or their most trusted disciples”
”That's natural, isn't it? There was no way they would teach their arts to strangers”
”Exactly Profound arts are both dangerous and i a suitable successor was harsh and strict, which essentially led to a series of probleood nature doesn't always have the necessary talent Soht be unable tothe art on fully More importantly, the martial world in the past was even more brutal than in the present With profound practitioners' mortal desires, sed battles, and eventually ended with the death of one side When that happened, that would be the end of the road for another precious profound art
”Then we add the passage of time into the mix For a teacher to accept disciples, the teacher would spend five to ten years discerning the disciples' dispositions and natures Beco the art required at least five years of constantly practicing, though this depended on both the disciple's talent and the arts In addition, it often took another twenty years for them to fully etting old It would take even more time to develop the inherited arts or come up with new arts This concluded the reason why es of history”
Sila began to understand how time has affected profound arts ”What about the antique profound arts you mentioned? What are they?”
”Before I start, I have to clarify that all the profound arts you know about are called modern profound arts, Sila Those arts were o As for antique profound arts, all of them have been lost due to the reasons I have listed”
”What is the difference? Are antique profound arts superior to the modern ones?”
”That's not necessarily the case However, it is worth noting that the current era isin due to all of the public facilities and the lae follow There are also e of killing arts Hence, I'd say antique profound arts tended to be more powerful than the modern ones The society and environment in the past were about survival of the fittest Battle and death were nor in the deadliness of antique profound arts”
”Have they all truly been lost?”
Joshua fell into a long silence, to the point where it was noticeable ”That's right I'd say the scriptures or scrolls containing antique profound arts no longer exist”
A sudden idea struck Sila ”Based on your answer, you must mean there are no records left, but the arts theht? Someone must possess or know about theain ”You're quite observant You got it right, Sila And you have already er God Hu Xian, also known as the Chaos Eon”
