Old Mountain Cat and One Cut Red pressed their hands onto the ground, releasing a soft and yin-like Vigorous Force.
With a low thud, the floor tiles shattered like tofu under their force.
They moved swiftly, and upon finding no hidden chamber in one place, they pressed their hands onto another spot.
They pressed a training room into a pitted ss but found no secret chamber, so they moved on to another room.
All the Martial Arts people had been drawn away by the Qilin, leaving no one to stop them.
The servants left behind, upon seeing these two, naturally didn’t dare to approach but fled imdiately.
Afraid that the servants would inform the Martial Arts people, they quickly advanced and slaughtered all the servants they encountered.
They searched five rooms in succession, including training rooms, alchemy rooms, and bedrooms, but found nothing.
After Old Mountain Cat left a room, his attention was suddenly caught by a fish pond.
He leaped into the fish pond.
Then, he pressed his hands down to the bottom of the pond.
From his palms, Gang Qi burst forth, pushing away the water around his hands.
The nearby fish, upon being touched by the Gang Qi, imdiately burst into clouds of blood mist.
Thud!
With a soft sound, the bottom of the pond was instantly pressed into two large holes by Old Mountain Cat.
After retracting the Gang Qi, the water in the pond flowed into these holes.
Seeing that such a large volu of pond water could be accommodated below, he knew there must be a large space underneath.
He pressed down again with his hands, and the Gang Qi ford like a wall under his pressing palms.
He directly pressed a large hole at the bottom of the pond.
Splash!
All the pond water rushed into this large hole.
At this mont, One Cut Red heard the commotion and joined in, jumping into the large hole with Old Mountain Cat.
Beneath the large hole was a tunnel.
After the pond water flowed into the tunnel, it ford a shallow layer on the ground.
After jumping down, their feet touched the ground, splashing water.
Then, they looked around and found themselves in the middle of the tunnel.
They walked toward one end of the tunnel and soon found a door.
Old Mountain Cat used Gang Qi to break open the door lock and discovered that the door led to a place surrounded by flowers and grass in the Martial Arts territory, realizing that the entrance to the secret chamber wasn’t in the rooms and that the secret path leading to the chamber was dug very deep.
Afterward, they headed to the other end.
They felt they were walking downward on a slope the whole ti and were about to reach the end after walking for a while.
The end led to a massive stone chamber, circular in shape, with a neatly rounded do, resembling an inverted giant bowl.
The room was lined with antique shelves, upon which scrolls were placed.
"Hurry and search!"
Old Mountain Cat gave a low shout and imdiately rushed towards the shelves.
One Cut Red nodded sharply and started searching the shelves as well.
They had to find the Secret Manual of the Separation Fire and Ice Technique before the Divine Realm Martial Artist of the Martial Arts clan returned.
They searched quickly, and about a cup of tea’s ti later, One Cut Red suddenly called out, "Senior Brother!"
Old Mountain Cat’s eyes suddenly brightened and he quickly approached One Cut Red, asking, "How is it?"
One Cut Red was flipping through a Jade Scroll, which was composed of dozens of pieces of jade, engraved with small fly-like script.
Old Mountain Cat and One Cut Red rapidly scanned the text, and after a while, Old Mountain Cat’s eyes brightened further, unable to hide his joy, exclaiming excitedly:
"Indeed, the Separation Fire and Ice Technique of the Martial Arts clan is not the Great Buddha Temple’s Fire and Ice Seven Realms, but rely a disguise!"
This matched the secret information he had obtained.
The Separation Fire and Ice Technique was originally an Inner Power Mastery from the Great Buddha Temple, the foremost in the Liang Kingdom.
The Martial Arts clan had it because their ancestor had been on good terms with the monks of the Great Buddha Temple during the founding wars.
So, the Great Buddha Temple had gifted this cultivation technique to the ancestor of the Martial Arts clan.
However, according to the secret information that Old Mountain Cat had obtained.
In the following centuries, the Martial Arts clan had acquired a dark and formidable Fist Technique known as the "Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens."
The Qi Force it emitted was very similar to the Separation Fire and Ice Technique.
If practiced to Great Success, it would be much more potent than the Separation Fire and Ice Technique.
However, compared to the orderly nature of the Separation Fire and Ice Technique, practicing the "Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens" was far more dangerous.
Just like the na of this Fist Technique, practicing it involved passing through the Seven Heavens.
Each Heaven was a test of life and death.
When practicing this Fist Technique, so Martial Artists died, while others were severely injured, causing significant damage to their foundation, forever cutting off their path to Martial Arts.
If one could survive life and death and severe injury through each Heaven, reaching the next Heaven, their Power would greatly increase.
But this was not what excited Old Mountain Cat the most.
The reason he risked exposure to steal the Secret Manual from the Martial Arts clan was that, once "Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens" was mastered to its peak, there was still the "Dark Evil Fist Seventh Heaven."
If one could master the "Dark Evil Fist Seventh Heaven" to its peak, they could overpower all Martial Arts!
Old Mountain Cat was a renowned Martial Artist in today’s Martial Arts world, with considerable strength but had stagnated.
So, in recent years, he had been extrely anxious, constantly searching for ways to enhance his Martial Arts skills.
Thus, after extensive inquiry and information gathering, he pieced together so intel and secret information, deducing that the "Ice and Fire Seven Realms" had been passed down to the Martial Arts clan.
Moreover, the Martial Arts clan’s current Martial Arts was actually the "Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens" disguised as the "Separation Fire and Ice Technique."
However, the Martial Arts clan had a special constitution, making them extrely powerful, so they didn’t need to take risks with the "Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens."
