16: Chapter 015 Martial Arts True Intent 16: Chapter 015 Martial Arts True Intent Xiao Ye sped up, moving towards the source of light, and with the help of the light emitted, he could gradually see the passage clearly on the mountain wall.
This passage in the mountain wall led straight to the underground, appearing as though it was carved out by soone.
As Xiao Ye approached the source of light, a small cave at the end of the passage ca into view.
At the sa ti, a wave of heat hit him, making Xiao Ye sweat instantaneously due to the scorching temperature.
“This is underground magma!” Xiao Ye was shocked, as it turned out that the source of light was the boiling magma in the center of the cave.
“That is…”
Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened, and he saw an ancient-looking longsword plunged into the boiling magma, with part of its blade emitting a faint cold light.
Even from a distance, Xiao Ye could feel a tingling sensation on his skin.
“Good blade!” Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up, and even with his limited experience, he could tell the extraordinary nature of this longsword.
There were also many boulders floating in the magma, Xiao Ye could step on them to retrieve the longsword, but he did not do so.
Instead, he cautiously observed his surroundings because the Barbarian Bear had not yet appeared.
“Hm?” Xiao Ye did not find the Barbarian Bear, but he discovered a skeleton wearing a long robe leaning against the mountain wall.
“Could this be the fallen Innate Realm expert?” Xiao Ye walked over and examined the skeleton, soon becoming captivated by a stone tablet in front of the skeleton.
The stone tablet was filled with characters, powerful and full of lancholy.
“I started Martial Cultivation at ten, beca an Innate Martial Artist at fifteen, proud and invincible amongst my peers, I believed I could dominate martial artists across the world, laughing haughtily under the heavens.”
Reading the first lines, Xiao Ye nodded inwardly, “To beco an Innate Martial Artist at fifteen, this person’s aptitude was quite remarkable, probably even stronger than Zhao Qian.”
Xiao Ye continued reading.
“But my master laughed at my ignorance, above Innate, there is the Xuanwu Realm, invincible to all, and only by reaching this Xuanwu can one be truly strong.”
“I asked my master three tis how to reach Xuanwu, and he only ntioned Martial Arts True Intent in four words then would speak no more.”
“Unwilling to give up, I earnestly visited highly esteed experts and finally understood that to reach the Xuanwu Realm, one must comprehend a type of Martial Arts True Intent.”
“I swore to comprehend the elusive Martial Arts True Intent to reach Xuanwu.
Alas, limited by my aptitude and after twenty years of painstaking effort, I couldn’t even grasp the essence of Martial Arts True Intent.”
“Just when I was in despair, I accidentally obtained a Xuan Weapon from a Xuanwu Realm expert, which contained the Martial Arts True Intent of that expert.
Overjoyed, I took the Xuan Weapon and retreated to the forest, but I was mortally wounded due to being hunted down by enemies.”
“The Martial Arts True Intent that I acquired effortlessly, I was unable to comprehend further, how frustrating!
How frustrating!”
Reading the final word of frustration, Xiao Ye seed to see a figure towering majestically against the sky, howling into the heavens, venting his frustration.
“Above the Innate Realm is the Xuanwu Realm…” Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, greatly shocked by the words on the stone tablet.
In Green Sun Town where he lived, there were no Innate Realm Martial Artists, not to ntion the Xuanwu Realm or Martial Arts True Intent.
“Xuan Weapons used by Xuanwu Realm experts?
I really hit the jackpot this ti!” Xiao Ye felt exhilarated.
Clearly, the longsword plunged in the magma was a Xuan Weapon containing Martial Arts True Intent.
If he obtained it, wouldn’t he have a chance to comprehend the elusive Martial Arts True Intent?
This was the genius who broke through to the Innate Realm at fifteen and still couldn’t comprehend Martial Arts True Intent even after twenty years of hard work.
Xiao Ye suppressed his excitent, his gaze fixating on the skeleton’s cape pocket.
“A Innate Realm Martial Artist must have so treasures on him; junior apologizes in advance, senior please forgive .” Xiao Ye bowed to the skeleton and reached into the pocket.
In the end, he pulled out two porcelain vials and two booklets.
Xiao Ye inadvertently glanced at the label on the porcelain vials, and his body shook as if struck by lightning, freezing on the spot.
Vitality Replenishing Pill!
These three words reflected in Xiao Ye’s pupils, filling his heart with elation.
“To think that I could find Vitality Replenishing Pills here!”
He couldn’t forget the strict figure from his youth…
He couldn’t forget the figure of desolation etched in his heart…
He couldn’t forget Liu Yiyi presenting the elixir, trampling on his dignity, and the imposing figure who stood in front of him…
Now, just by having the Vitality Replenishing Pills, Xiao Ye could restore Xiao Yang’s strength, making him once again the strongest beneath the village chief of Xiao Family Village.
How could he not be excited?
Xiao Ye opened the vial labeled with Vitality Replenishing Pill, pouring out a pill the size of a longan, and finally sighed in relief.
Had the vial been empty, it would have left Xiao Ye in tears.
If this vial contains the precious Vitality Replenishing Pill, then what about the other vial?
Xiao Ye looked at the label on the other vial, which read Qi Replenishing Pill.
“Qi Replenishing Pill?
Could it be an elixir that helps Innate Martial Artists restore Innate True Qi?” Xiao Ye mused, pouring out two blackish pills from the vial.
As soon as these pills appeared, a pure aura surged forth, and rely by taking a light breath, Xiao Ye felt the True Qi in his body increase significantly.
“Such strong dicinal effects!” Xiao Ye was greatly surprised.
rely a single breath had significantly increased the True Qi in his body.
If he were to take it directly, wouldn’t his cultivation skyrocket?
“An elixir for Innate Martial Artists to recover Innate True Qi, for Postnatal Martial Artists it’s truly a heavenly material and earthly treasure,” Xiao Ye remarked.
Then, he suppressed the idea of consuming the Qi Replenishing Pill and put it away.
The Barbarian Bear still hadn’t appeared, and he didn’t want to linger here too long.
He then picked up two booklets.
One was the Record of Observations in Black Dragon Country, which included descriptions of various elixirs, ferocious beasts, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, making Xiao Ye’s eyes light up.
After all, he was just a youth who hadn’t even left Green Sun Town, and his experience was truly limited.
This Record of Observations in Black Dragon Country was extrely useful for him.
The other booklet was a Postnatal Cultivation Technique called the Heavenly Net Technique.
“So, it’s a Postnatal Cultivation Technique.” Xiao Ye lost so interest.
He flipped through the booklet casually and suddenly, his body trembled, and his eyes widened.
Heavenly Net Technique—this technique utilized the body’s twelve ridians to amplify True Qi…
“Twelve ridians!” Xiao Ye gasped.
Currently, the Mixed Elent Technique he practiced used nine ridians to amplify his True Qi, granting him robust True Qi combined with the Perfect Great Collapse Palm, which allowed him to sweep through peers of his level.
If he switched to cultivating this Heavenly Net Technique, wouldn’t the robustness of his True Qi improve even further?
“At that ti, perhaps I could use the True Qi in my body to layer a fifth ti, making another breakthrough with the Great Collapse Palm!” The idea suddenly surfaced in Xiao Ye’s mind.
The last page of the Great Collapse Palm’s scripture had stated: Layering True Qi four tis for the Great Collapse Palm is not the limit; those with robust True Qi can attempt to layer further.
With the Mixed Elent Technique that Xiao Ye currently cultivated, he could only layer the True Qi in his body four tis.
If he were to switch to the Heavenly Net Technique, layering a fifth ti was not impossible.
Layering True Qi five tis with the Great Collapse Palm…
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye felt a surge of excitent.
The Great Collapse Palm, surpassing the level of perfection, might even match a Second Grade Battle Skill.
Bear in mind, the entire Green Sun Town didn’t have a set of Second Grade Battle Skills.
As for the difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Net Technique, Xiao Ye automatically ignored it.
With the Ti Tower in his possession, he was fearless against even the hardest of cultivation techniques.
“This ti it’s really a huge harvest!” Xiao Ye tucked the elixir and the booklets into his chest, his gaze pausing on the skeleton, “It’s just a pity that there isn’t a real Second Grade Battle Technique among the predecessor’s belongings.”
Xiao Ye collected his thoughts, ready to pull out the long blade from the magma, when—
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a tall dark figure appeared in the cave, and a howling gust charged towards Xiao Ye.
“Uh?
Has the Barbarian Bear returned?” Xiao Ye tensed up.
He didn’t dare delay as the True Qi inside him rapidly layered four tis, and he executed the Great Collapse Palm.
Boom!
Xiao Ye’s palms struck as if hitting steel, numbing his hands, and at the sa ti a force far surpassing his own slamd into him, knocking him flying backwards, crashing against the cave wall.
Xiao Ye’s eyes saw stars, his blood roiled, and he nearly spat out blood.
“How could the Barbarian Bear be so strong?” Xiao Ye’s face was filled with astonishnt.
A Barbarian Bear had the strength of the Postnatal Fourth Realm.
Even if Xiao Ye, with his Perfect Great Collapse Palm, couldn’t defeat the Barbarian Bear, he shouldn’t be blown away in a single strike.
This was a complete defeat.
Using the light from the magma, a formidable bear about three ters tall with golden fur appeared in the cave.
It glared at Xiao Ye with eyes spewing flas of anger.
“Oh crap, it’s not a Barbarian Bear, but a Golden Barbarian Bear!” Xiao Ye couldn’t help but curse.
The Golden Barbarian Bear, despite only a two-word difference from the Barbarian Bear, differed massively in strength; the Golden Barbarian Bear possessed the peak strength of the Postnatal Sixth Realm.
“Setting up before death!” Xiao Ye fud internally, the thin man must have known that the ferocious beast in the cave was a Golden Barbarian Bear, yet he purposefully said it was a re Barbarian Bear, with the intent to trap and kill him.
“It seems I can’t take this long blade for now, I’ll return when I’m stronger.” Xiao Ye flashed, rushing into the corridor.
“Roar!” Behind Xiao Ye, ca the angry roar of the Golden Barbarian Bear, as it chased after Xiao Ye.
Luckily, the person who initially opened up the mountain path didn’t consider the height of the Golden Barbarian Bear.
Therefore, the Golden Barbarian Bear, stumbling, couldn’t run fast and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Ye disappeared into the distance.
The Golden Barbarian Bear roared a few tis in reluctance, and finally, slowly climbed back into the cave.
“Hoo—finally out!” Walking out of the cave entrance, the dazzling sunlight ca face-to-face, giving Xiao Ye a feeling of rebirth.
“Big guy, wait for to grow stronger, then I’ll co back and play with you.” Xiao Ye did so basic concealnt at the cave entrance to prevent it from being discovered.
“Back to the village now.” Xiao Ye, carrying the elixir, briskly headed towards the direction of Green Sun Town, eager to restore Xiao Yang’s strength.
