After Libu Zheng left, Lin Bai stepped onto the cloud top and ca to the scroll in front, seeing the four large characters written on it: "Great Sun Chasing Skill"!
"Great Sun Chasing Skill, interesting." Lin Bai smiled slightly and, holding the jade talisman, gently touched the scroll. Imdiately, the magic circle above dispersed, surrounding Lin Bai within a radius of a hundred ters, protecting him inside.
Then, the scroll in front of Lin Bai floated up involuntarily, standing before him and slowly unfurling, allowing Lin Bai to see its contents!
This scroll, to be precise, is a painting.
Once the scroll was completely unrolled, Lin Bai saw that the upper part of the painting used simple charcoal to sketch a shadow of a person running on the earth, yet his gaze was fixed on the fierce flas in the sky.
In the upper right corner, there was a line of words: "In the ancient years, there was an extraordinary person who chased the sun and tried to pluck it. A warrior saw it, imitated it, and created a miracle technique where one step covers a thousand ters, one step covers ten thousand ters, one step covers a thousand miles, one step covers ten thousand miles, all in pursuit of the sun!"
Lin Bai glanced at the words in the upper right corner, slightly moved in expression, and frowned: "People running on the earth, how can they catch up to the sun?"
Then Lin Bai’s gaze fell onto the painting, and at this mont, he imrsed his mind into it, making the painting co alive. Lin Bai saw the shadow of a person striving hard to run, heading towards the sun!
"How to grasp this concept?"
Lin Bai sat cross-legged, looking at the figure in the painting with a slight flash of confusion in his eyes!
The painting is too simple, this Great Sun Chasing Skill has neither oral incantation nor ntal thod, only a painting of a sun and a person, nothing else!
Lin Bai sat down, watching the shadow in the painting keep running towards the sun, but it seed like the sun was running too, the distance between the two maintaining constant, always unable to pluck the sun.
No ntal thod, no oral incantation, nothing else at all.
Lin Bai now truly didn’t know where to start to comprehend the true essence within the Great Sun Chasing Skill!
Sitting idly on the cloud top, as days passed by, ten days went by in a flash, yet Lin Bai still watched the person in the painting keep running towards the sun, never capturing it, but still not giving up.
This scene made Lin Bai sit for ten days without gaining anything!
Lin Bai couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly: "Haha, a Kunxu disciple can enter the eighteenth floor of Kunxu Tower to comprehend the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills for up to ten days. I’m lucky to have a month’s ti, but is Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills this difficult?"
"Are the other seventy-two skills equally challenging?"
"Libu Zheng just ntioned that my father comprehended three of the seventy-two skills related to the sword in just half a year; whereas Senior Li Zhengyi comprehended nine of the seventy-two skills!"
"They seem to find comprehending the seventy-two skills easy, why is it so hard for ?"
"Is it truly because my comprehension is lacking?"
Lin Bai smiled bitterly repeatedly.
He couldn’t help but admire Lin Duo and Li Zhengyi in his heart; such profound and unfathomable magical arts, they both managed to grasp the mystery within!
"What secrets does this Great Sun Chasing Skill hold?"
Lin Bai once again cald himself down, slowly beginning to delve into the secrets within!
...
But while Lin Bai was comprehending the Great Sun Chasing Skill within Kunxu Tower, Libu Zheng had already returned to the Li family’s clan land.
Entering a palace, he cupped his hands respectfully and shouted: "Greetings, Father!"
Li Zhengyi sat in a high position, seeing Libu Zheng return, put down the book in his hand, and asked: "I asked you to take Lin Bai to Kunxu Tower to select divine iron, what divine iron did he choose?"
Libu Zheng replied with a bitter smile: "Father, I took Lin Bai to the sixth and fourteenth floors of Kunxu Tower, and we chose divine iron, but Brother Lin was particularly fond of the black charcoal iron on the fourteenth floor..."
Li Zhengyi suddenly frowned and asked in surprise: "Black charcoal iron? Among the many precious divine irons on the fourteenth floor of Kunxu Tower, he actually chose that piece of black charcoal iron?"
Libu Zheng also smiled bitterly: "Yes, Father, before Lin Bai made a choice, I also advised him, but he ultimately insisted on choosing the black charcoal iron!"
"Father, is there sothing mysterious about that black charcoal iron that Brother Lin discerned?"
"Otherwise, why would he choose the black charcoal iron?"
Li Zhengyi shook his head and said: "The divine irons on the fourteenth floor of Kunxu Tower, most of them were collected by the Li family ancestors from Kunxu, many of which co from spirit realm treasures, we don’t even know their origins, let alone how to slt these divine irons!"
"As for that black charcoal iron, I also don’t know its origin!"
"But since Lin Bai has chosen the black charcoal iron, then the black charcoal iron now belongs to him!"
"Is he comprehending the Great Sun Chasing Skill now?"
Li Zhengyi asked again.
Libu Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, I have already taken him to the eighteenth floor of Kunxu."
Li Zhengyi nodded slightly and said: "I have watched his martial arts competition, his sword skill and physical body are extrely powerful, but he lacks short distance speed bursts. If he can comprehend the Great Sun Chasing Skill, he can fill this gap!"
While Li Zhengyi spoke, he nodded repeatedly, seemingly very satisfied.
Seeing Li Zhengyi’s serious deanor, Libu Zheng couldn’t help asking: "Father, may I ask why you hold Lin Bai in such high regard?"
Li Zhengyi frowned and asked: "Do I?"
Libu Zheng said: "Father, not only have I noticed it, probably all the Kunxu disciples now have seen it, you seem to be very optimistic about this Saint from Dongzhou Academy!"
"In the Heavenly Saber Tribe, even though Lin Bai established great achievents for the Li family, awarding him a piece of divine iron is already a high creation, but it has not yet reached the level of comprehending the Seventy-Two Skills!"
"Within Kunxu, to comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills, one must make significant contributions to Kunxu Li Clan!"
"Back then Uncle Lin Duo, alone with a sword, swept across the Li family, and then traveled abroad to defeat all tribe strong ones, making the then Lord of Kunxu, i.e., Grandfather, overjoyed and exceptionally rewarded the heaven-defying sword cultivator with the opportunity to enter the eighteenth floor to comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills!"
"Uncle Lin Duo could comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills because his talent was indeed heaven-defying!"
"And Father could comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills also because back then, the fight between collateral and main lineage was intense, Father single-handedly turned the tide, secured the position under the patriarch and preserved the dignity of the main lineage, only then qualified to comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills!"
"Father could comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills because of the contributions you made for the main lineage!"
"And Lin Bai... even though he indeed saved many people in the Heavenly Saber Tribe, his achievents have not yet reached the level of comprehending the Seventy-Two Skills!"
"Now, not only , the entire Kunxu disciples are whispering... feeling that perhaps your actions seem a bit inappropriate!"
Libu Zheng said slightly.
Hearing Libu Zheng’s words, Li Zhengyi’s eyes flickered imperceptibly and asked: "Even the Elder Pavilion believes so?"
Libu Zheng said: "Father, the Elder Pavilion naturally has doubts, but on the day of the blood battle with the Heavenly Saber Tribe, Lin Bai saved Lichao Yun and others, even though the Grand Elder knows that your actions were a bit inappropriate, he too said nothing for the sake of Lin Bai saving his son!"
Li Zhengyi smiled slightly, saying: "It seems I really acted inappropriately, Libu Zheng, call the elders over for a eting!"
Libu Zheng asked: "Father, do you have any arrangents?"
Li Zhengyi laughed: "Since the Elder Pavilion and Kunxu disciples have such a strong reaction, I naturally have to make it rightful for Lin Bai to comprehend the Seventy-Two Skills, let the Elder Pavilion co over..."
Li Zhengyi smiled foresightedly!
