Chapter 319: Next Pole (2/2)
The pole technique Mo Wuji bought was not a skill transfer crystal ball, but an ancient diagram booklet. The diagram booklet had been sealed and only three words could be seen on the exterior: Nirvana Pole Shadow.
After carefully breaking the restrictions on the diagram booklet, Mo Wuji cautiously flipped it open.
He was instantly shocked speechless. How was this a Heaven Grade skill? This was simply a rip-off! He spent his contribution to buy a Heaven Grade skill but there was only one move inside. And this move only had one name.
This move’s specific means and attack methods were all not mentioned. Besides the name, there were only the methods of using elemental energy and cultivating the skill. That means that this was simply a book of tips which thought you how to use elemental energy.
Furthermore, the name of the move wasn't even related to Nirvana, it was called Next Pole.
1,350,000 contribution points, and he only got this kind of thing. Mo Wuji was speechless. And he couldn't even go back to cause trouble for the Star Seeking Merchant House. There was not a problem with the authenticity of the thing; from the looks of this thing, he could tell that it had passed through the vicissitudes of time. It was indeed an ancient booklet.
If this was bought using 10,000 contribution points or less, Mo Wuji could simply throw it away in anger. But for a thing which costs 1,350,000 contribution points, he really couldn't bear to throw it away.
Mo Wuji relented and went back to study it. In half an incense's time, he was drawn in. This definitely wasn't some book of tips, this was the supreme method of handling poles, it could even be said to be the supreme method of handling elemental energy.
Just like his Revolving Star Passage Technique's Qiankun Upheaval which could shift a force in an instant, this pole technique could strike from unimaginable angles through various kinds of methods. In other words, you could clearly see the pole descending down towards your head, but just as the pole appears in front of your eyes, you would discover that the pole did not even exist; it was just a pole shadow. The real pole would strike you from some unfathomable angle.
The Next Pole. So that's the meaning behind its name.
You would never know when my next pole would come from. You would always be guarding yourself against my next pole.
No wonder why there weren’t any specific means of attack, because even the Next Pole user himself would not know where the next pole would appear from.
Mo Wuji's heart pounded wildly. At this instant, the Nirvana Pole Shadow had already exceeded the Revolving Star Passage Technique’s position in his heart. Even though the Revolving Star Passage Technique was a sacred art, it was incomplete. On the other hand, the Nirvana Pole Shadow was complete, and the Next Pole was a pole technique suited Mo Wuji's taste.
He did not like skills that told you to move step-by-step. Those moves could be anticipated and tracked. However, this Next Pole was simply untraceable.
As long a he could understand the methods of using elemental energy from this skill book, he would be the Next Pole user.
...
At the same time, in the Star King Mountain Star Lord Hall.
A middle-aged man was ruminating on a chair at the center, there was an elder standing below him. This man was the Star King Mountain's Star Lord Chi Tong. Even though there were several powers and factions in Star King Mountain, but as the Star Lord, no one dared to disrespect him.
After some time, Chi Tong opened his eyes and asked, ”You say that the Yan Clan Patriarch Yan Qiren and the Star Cloud Hall Master Yan Pingzhi have gone to the Universal Hall?”
”Yes, Star Lord.” The elder nodded to respond.
”You think that Yan Qiren and Yan Pingzhi would appear in front of the crowd for a clan disciple?” Chi Tong asked calmly.
The elder bowed and answered, ”This old servant thinks, it's definitely not possible. So this old servant went to investigate, Yan Yangdong had obtained Daoist Sanping's legacy…”
”Daoist Sanping” The originally calm Chi Tong suddenly stood up, repeating the elder's sentence before recovering his countenance and slowly sitting back down.
The elder responded, ”That's right. It's the same Daoist Sanping who disappeared after obtaining a half moon key 1600 years ago. But Yan Yangdong's Halberd Sunderer has nothing to do with Daoist Sanping. This matter was revealed from the Yan Clan itself. After Yan Yangdong perished, the Yan Clan searched through his immortal cave, then they discovered that he had succeeded Daoist Sanping’s legacy.”
”That means that he has a half moon key on him?” Chi Tong's eyes shown with blue light.
The elder shook his head, ”I'm afraid it's more than that. After Yan Yangdong was killed, the Jing Clan was also investigated and it was found that he had at least 3 half moon keys on him. Besides the one from Daoist Sanping, there's one from the Jing Clan, and another one the Jing Clan robbed from a rogue cultivator.”
”That means, after Yan Yangdong was killed, those three half moon keys ended up on that Mo Wuji who just entered the Universal Board?” As Chi Tong spoke, his brows were furrowed deeply.
”That's indeed the case. Now, the Yan Clan isn't the only one cognisant of this fact. The Xia Clan, Mou Clan,various sects, as well as the Star King Mountain's ten halls basically know of this matter.”
When the elder got here, he sighed, ”That's why everyone and every power are searching for Mo Wuji. Their excuse is that Mo Wuji had cheated 500,000 contribution points off the Xia Clan, betraying the Universal Hall’s principle of trust. Now, reporting the whereabouts of Mo Wuji would garner a reward of 1,000,000 contribution points.”
