With Lin Ze’s decree, opening the Treasure Pavilion was no problem.
However, the Treasure Pavilion’s huge bronze door couldn’t be opened unless those three Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters jointly used their strength.
This Treasure Pavilion had no other entrance besides this gate, and the building was actually even more solid than this door.
If someone wanted to enter this Treasure Pavilion, at least three Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters were necessary.
The three Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters guarding the Treasure Pavilion walked in front of that huge door. Then, they simultaneously circulated their true essence to open that heavy huge door weighing several tens of thousand pounds by a small crack.
The crack was enough for a person to pass through.
“Remember, you only have two hours to comprehend it. Be sure not to blindly ask for more later; otherwise, you might be punished.”
General Ninth Month warned Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded. He naturally knew this point and was no greedy person.
He passed through that crack into the treasury.
It was actually very bright inside due to a special mirror at the top of the Treasure Pavilion that would gather sunlight and had a durability no inferior to the huge door.
This Treasure Pavilion, in fact, was not very big. Other than some treasure artifacts and spirit stones, the rest were Transcendent Martial Arts.
It was similar to those Transcendent Martial Art Fragments he had seen in the Ling Clan’s Library Pavilion.
Transcendent Martial Arts weren’t written with words: they were sealed in stone tablets, tortoise-shells, beast bones, and other such things.
It was almost impossible to copy them.
Only after one’s soul power entered these things, would you learn a martial art’s profound meaning.
Like the fragments, Transcendent Martial Arts didn’t have fixed styles, only a profound meaning. Martial artists could comprehend styles or cultivation methods exclusive to themselves from them.
There was no one else inside the Treasure Pavilion.
But Ling Xiao believed that someone was watching his every action. After all, the treasure artifacts here were too miraculous and could do many things you couldn’t even imagine.
However, this didn’t affect him. In any case, he had no intention of stealing anything from here.
After entering, he immediately entered a comprehending state while facing those six Transcendent Martial Arts’ profound meanings.
First, he wanted to figure out what those six Transcendent Martial Arts were to choose the one most suitable for him.
Transcendent Martial Arts were very powerful. As long as he comprehended one, not to mention when below Rank Nine Martial Vein, even after he stepped into the Transcendent Realm, it would still be useful.
Therefore, he could not afford to be greedy.
After all, he only had two hours.
<Wind Controlling Mysterious Art>: A wind attributed transcendent profound meaning. You will comprehend a Transcendent Movement Technique to manipulate the wind. After success, regardless of any movement technique you later comprehend, you will have the elegance and speed of the wind as well as its flexibility.
Requirement: Cultivation base of Rank Seven Martial Vein or above.
<Scarlet Refined Demon Palm>: A fire attributed transcendent profound meaning. You can comprehend a fire-poison controlling palm technique. After success, regardless of any move you use, your palm can produce a fiery poison that is hard for the enemy to guard against. Once this fire-poison reaches the heart of the enemy, the enemy will turn into ash.
Requirement: Cultivation base of Rank Eight Martial Vein or above.
<Immortals Flying Beyond the Highest Heavens>: Unattributed transcendent profound meaning. You will comprehend a powerful martial skill. Upon integrating with this profound meaning, your moves will transform and become unfathomable.
Requirement: Cultivation base of Rank Nine Martial Vein or above. Best if you are a sword user.
……
Although it was a waste of time to examine all six Transcendent Martial Arts, Ling Xiao felt that it was worth it since it would help him choose the martial art most suitable for him.
But every Transcendent Martial Art had its own fanatical charm.
If it weren’t for Ling Xiao’s firm will, he truly might not be able to extricate himself from them.
Although all Transcendent Martial Arts lacked fixed moves or cultivation methods, comprehending a little from one would allow you to experience the magical aspect and terrifying might of profound meanings.
In comparison, other martial arts like Superior Peak Martial Arts were laughably simple.
If Transcendent Martial Arts were compared to divine weapons, weaker martial arts were wooden swords in the hands of children.
They were incomparable.
Eh, a defensive martial art!
While browsing through those six Transcendent Martial Arts, he discovered that the last one was actually a Transcendent Defensive Martial Art——
<Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
He was excited to see this martial art since this <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> was not only suitable for him, but this profound meaning was also actually a different approach to the <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> that would have the same result.
It could be even said that <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> was an evolved version of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.
<Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>: A metal attributed transcendent profound meaning. You will comprehend a powerful defensive martial art. After comprehending this cultivation method, your defenses will be like a heavenly dragon’s golden body.
After cultivating it to the highest level, you can thoroughly remold yourself. Your mortal body will transform into a heavenly dragon golden body, impervious to fire and water. You will be indestructible, comparable to the Transcendent Sage Realm.
After comprehending the <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s profound meaning, you can cultivate Heavenly Dragon True Essence, which is more powerful than ordinary true essence.
Requirement: Rank Seven Martial Vein or above. Must have cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> to at least seventh transformation.
The highest level of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>, the ninth transformation, could regrow severed limbs, but its defenses were not as terrifying as <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
Furthermore, the mortal body would transform into a heavenly dragon golden body, thoroughly remodeling himself, which was comparable to the Transcendent Sage Realm. It was equivalent to saying that once he cultivated it successfully, even if he didn’t break through to the Transcendent Realm, he could fight against Transcendent Realm experts just by relying on his body’s physical strength.
“A Transcendent Martial Art is truly a Transcendent Martial Art. It not only strengthens the defense but also produces heavenly dragon true essence…”
Now, Ling Xiao had no more hesitation. This <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> was obviously more suitable for him than those previous Transcendent Martial Arts.
For attacking martial arts, he had the <Snow Lotus Sword Art>. Although he had not yet fully comprehended it, with this <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, he would perfect <Snow Lotus Sword Art>, this Transcendent Martial Art, in an even better fashion.
Thinking this, he sat down cross-legged, injected his soul power into this <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s stone tablet, and began to comprehend it.
Outside the Treasure Pavilion, a Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master had a mirror in his hand that clearly showed Ling Xiao’s every action inside the Treasure Pavilion.
“He actually chose the <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>?”
One grey-haired Martial Master muttered.
Before Ling Xiao, several geniuses had entered the Treasure Pavilion to comprehend Transcendent Martial Arts. But regardless of their success or failure, these people preferred martial skill type Transcendent Martial Arts such as <Immortals Flying beyond the Highest Heaven> and <Scarlet Refined Mysterious Palm>.
These Martial Masters, including Lin Ze, had thought that Ling Xiao would choose a martial skill type Transcendent Martial Art.
Even if only a single move of a martial skill type Transcendent Martial Art were comprehended, it was enough to maintain a huge advantage in combat below the Transcendent Realm.
But movement techniques and defensive martial arts were different. These two types had no moves, only the cultivation method and cultivation levels. If you wanted to comprehend one, you had to comprehend it completely. Otherwise, it would provide no profound meaning at all.
“This kid is extraordinary. He might have his own thoughts. Moreover, he has cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> before. It will be a bit easier for him to comprehend <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.”
General Ninth Month thought for a bit and commented.
