Chapter 724: Chapter 724
"Such divine skills point directly to the true nature of existence, from Qi cultivation to Divine Cultivation, if even you Abnormal People are unable to comprehend it, there is nothing more I, the village chief, can do. It seems you’re just not destined for it," Jiang Dali said, shaking his head calmly.
The fat one and the others felt like crying upon hearing these words.
Had an NPC praised them before, they would have been proud of their superiority as Players, their cheating justified with such impunity, each one believed to be a prodigy with astonishing talents.
But now, the situation was simply tragic.
Faced with a Cultivation Technique that was suspected to surpass the Heaven Rank, yet unable to learn it, unable even to comprehend it, they completely lost the qualification to leap to the pinnacle of the Martial World as top experts.
"It’s our fault for being uneducated, a simple ’Shit’ ruled the world. Now look, we idiots recognize the Cultivation Technique on the stone wall, but we can’t recognize this Cultivation Technique."
"Let’s just give it another look, there are still twenty stone chambers to go. If there’s no reaction after half an hour, then we’ll have to give up."
"I don’t know if anyone else among those who came later could understand, but after this, I realize the importance of accumulating the foundation in Martial Arts."
"That’s right. After returning to our sects, we shall visit the Scripture Pavilion more often to read books and improve our enlightenment, perhaps next time we’ll have a chance to learn this divine skill."
The Players discussed quietly among themselves, gradually regaining an optimistic attitude.
Jiang Dali stayed in the stone chamber and observed two more groups.
Seeing that no Players could glean anything useful from the Supreme Mysterious Scripture on the stone wall, he grew too lazy to continue observing and left the cave.
For him, the most important was the Heart Method Chapter of the Supreme Mysterious Scripture.
However, even as he observed the Players just now, he had also attempted to comprehend it again, yet was utterly unable to grasp that fleeting inspiration.
The divine skill of the Supreme Mysterious Scripture, in conjunction with the poem "The Knight’s Walk" consisted of twenty-four lines, separated into five sets of extremely powerful Martial Arts.
The fifth line, "Within ten steps, kill one man", the tenth line, "Unsheathed sword across the knees", and the seventeenth line, "To save Zhao," each verse representing a set of Swordsmanship—in Jiang Dali’s opinion, they were Heavenly Rank Sword Skills.
The sixth line, "Thousand-mile Traceless," the seventh line, "After the deed, brush off the clothes and leave," and the eighth line, "Deeply hide one’s name and self," each line was a set of Light Body Skill, also of Heavenly Rank movement technique.
The ninth line, "Leisurely Passing Xiling Drink," the fourteenth line, "Five Mountains Fall Lightly," and the sixteenth line, "Heroic Bone Fragrance," each was a set of Heavenly Rank palm techniques.
Finally, the thirteenth line, "Three cups spill forth agreement," the eighteenth line, "Spirit and energy like the fresh rainbow," and the twentieth line, "Resounding through the grand Liang City," were all Internal Cultivation Methods for breath control.
Jiang Dali guessed that the Internal Cultivation Methods of the Supreme Mysterious Scripture should be of the Heavenly Human Level mental method, pointing directly to Qi Cultivation to God Transformation, an extreme Cultivation technique refining Inner Strength and Divine Intent.
Because even though he had not managed to comprehend and understand it, relying on his current mastery of Martial Arts and the various performances of Shi Potian in his previous life, he could tell the formidable power of this Internal Cultivation Methods.
However, unfortunately, for the moment, he was still unable to fully comprehend the real intent of the Martial Arts on the stone wall.
After exiting the cave, he opened his panel to check the prompts that had arrived earlier.
"You have comprehended the Heavenly Rank Absolute Skill ’Supreme Mysterious Four Extremes’; your reputation has increased by 2000. ’Supreme Mysterious Four Extremes’ includes swordsmanship, movement technique, fist, and palm skills. Your current comprehension is at Level 1 Realm, beginner’s practice."
"What a pity..." Jiang Dali sighed inwardly.
At his level of power, the ’Supreme Mysterious Four Extremes,’ a Heavenly Rank secret technique, could not be considered useless, but it’s no longer greatly beneficial for improvements to his strength or future advancements in Realm.
However, such Martial Arts, although not too significant for him—a person who possesses many Heavenly Rank secret techniques and Heavenly Person’s Ultimate Skills—it would be the most top-notch and powerful for Master Long, Master Mu, and many others on Hero Island.
Using these Martial Arts to win people’s hearts and recruit was certainly more than sufficient.
At this moment, the fragrant smell of cooking herbs started to waft from buildings in the mountains not far away, a light scent carried on the breeze from their kitchens.
"Village chief, Master Long and Master Mu have really started cooking Laba Porridge just as you ordered, but the scent of the medicine is too strong."
Wang Yuyan gracefully approached, covering her nose and pointing at a building not far away.
"Hehehe, if they’ve started cooking the porridge, it means they’ve compromised and come to terms with it. It seems the ’Supreme Mysterious Scripture’ is still a great temptation for them."
Jiang Dali said with a light smile.
He understood this all too well, after all, it was a Divine Skill that had eluded comprehension for most of a lifetime.
Now, this Divine Skill was not only irresistibly set to be taken away by him, but he had also offered to resolve their confusion and transmit it to them, so naturally, Dragon and Mu wouldn’t refuse.
However, both men were indeed generous and upright, agreeing to join Black Wind Village but expressing they didn’t wish to bring disaster to the Martial World by killing the innocent wantonly.
Jiang Dali didn’t mind this at all.
He was a reasonable person, never bloodthirsty to begin with, and didn’t expect two old men to join in the fights and killings in the Martial World.
What he truly valued were the networks and influence Hero Island had cultivated over the years in Yuan Country’s Martial World, as well as the special wines and Laba Porridge developed by Dragon and Mu.
In his past life, Hero Island’s Laba Porridge was famously good, dubbed by Players as "Inner Qi Beads".
Because it was prepared with a variety of rare medicinal herbs, anyone drinking a mouthful could improve their Inner Strength, and regular consumption could also have the effect of strengthening the kidneys and nurturing one’s primordial essence.
This was also why there were quite a few disciples like Zhang San and Li Si on Hero Island.
If such items could be controlled and possessed, they would undoubtedly be a significant aid in training a large number of talents.
"Let’s go! Have a bowl of Laba Porridge! After that, we’ll prepare to leave."
Jiang Dali called out to Wang Yuyan with a chuckle.
The two exhibited their movement techniques, drifting through the mountains.
Wang Yuyan’s movement was exceptionally beautiful, seemingly slow but actually swift, like a fairy from the moon palace dancing with the wind, ethereal, without a trace of worldly vulgarity.
Jiang Dali, on the other hand, performed the "Worldly Matters Washed Away" movement technique that he had just grasped from the Supreme Mysterious Four Extremes, his demeanor calm and unhurried. With three lengthening leaps and two short bounds, he skimmed across the tree branches, his garments fluttering freely, utterly carefree.
Both landed on a palm tree at the same time, and then pushed off to leap forward again.
Wang Yuyan, watching the bald head that was sometimes ahead and then behind, couldn’t help but let her lips reveal a smile.
She felt the wind whooshing by her ears, as if she were a pair of large birds soaring side by side, an indescribably sweet feeling in her heart.
It was as if she were back in the joyous days at the Gusu Wang Family, wishing the mountains were higher, the roads longer, so she could keep flying , on and on.
However, the next moment, a "crack" sound shocked Wang Yuyan so much that she almost fell from the tree.
"Dammit. This movement technique doesn’t suit me. The Thousand-mile Traceless suits me better!"
Jiang Dali cursed under his breath and changed his elegant movements to a more direct assault, snapping a tree trunk beneath his feet and blasting off like a cannonball, storming out with the fury of a gale, sweeping up dead grass, twigs, and sand in a tumultuous whirlwind, speeding off into the distance.
"Thousand-mile Solo for you, for life!"
Wang Yuyan gnashed her teeth, clenched her tiny fist, took a deep breath, puffed out her cheeks and exhaled sharply, stomping her foot in frustration as she hurriedly followed.
"Village Chief, wait for me!"
