Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 186 Peculiar Secret Art

Chapter 126 The Bizarre Stone Book

  Within the isolated island, immortal palaces were numerous, some with restrictions, while others had their doors wide open, yet contained nothing at all.

  Throughout his exploration, Jiang Xuan learned some information about this isolated island. This island was the cave dwelling of a disciple of Daojun Su Feng!

  In the Su Feng Ruins, the locations of all secret realms and ancient lands were constantly changing. The isolated island where Jiang Xuan was located happened to be the cave dwelling of one of the twelve disciples who were buried with Daojun Su Feng.

  In fact, these disciples buried with Daojun Su Feng were not valued or favored by him. Those disciples valued by Daojun Su Feng had already been expelled by him before returning to the Da Mo Domain. As for the rest, Daojun Su Feng also gave them a chance to live, but in the end, none of them grasped it.

  For example, one of Daojun Su Feng’s disciples, his chance to live was to comprehend the sword intent scroll left by Dijun Xue Jian. In the entire Yanlong Domain, there were only forty such scrolls.

  Moreover, if one could complete the test within, one could also obtain a puppet at the level of a Third Step Daojun. If he had the opportunity, Jiang Xuan would also like to get a set to try.

  As for the owner of this isolated island, named "Fu Xuan World Deity," Daojun Su Feng also gave him a chance to live, seemingly a special secret technique. As long as Fu Xuan World Deity could successfully cultivate it, he could survive.

  However, until the very end, Fu Xuan World Deity did not succeed.

  "A peculiar secret technique? I wonder what its function is." Jiang Xuan thought, with some anticipation. He then sped up his exploration of these immortal palaces.

  Most of the palaces were empty. As for the others, they mostly contained some treasures. Only a very few had World Realm cultivators. Jiang Xuan only found nine World Realm cultivators in the end.

  As for Fu Xuan World Deity, he was in his own cave dwelling, at least before his death. His cave dwelling was located underground on the isolated island, said to be a small world, surrounded by numerous restrictions and formations.

  "They are still operating, Fu Xuan World Deity should still be inside." Jiang Xuan thought. Chaos-level formations would automatically absorb power from the void chaos, so they could generally exist for a long time, with a very low probability of failure.

  This Fu Xuan World Deity was also cautious, laying down more than a dozen kinds of restrictions and formations, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed to comprehend the secret technique. Since Daojun Su Feng wanted him dead, he had no way to survive.

  After breaking through the restrictions, Jiang Xuan also entered the cave dwelling of Fu Xuan World Deity, but contrary to what he had expected, it was indeed a small world, but it was already dilapidated. The only thing that could be seen was numerous secret manuals scattered on the ground.

  According to the clues left by other World Realm servants, in the period before their deaths, Fu Xuan World Deity frantically collected secret techniques. These secret manuals were discarded haphazardly, indicating that this Fu Xuan World Deity had gone mad in the last period, doing everything he could for that glimmer of hope.

  Picking up a volume of classics, Jiang Xuan’s expression was somewhat strange as he probed with his divine sense. This volume actually spoke of dual cultivation secret techniques, and it directly pointed to the World Realm, enabling one to become a Chaos Immortal.

  "It’s suitable for the Comprehensive Martial World and the Capital Cultivation World." As the two major source supply giants, Zong Wu Jiang Xuan and Du Xiu Jiang Xuan would definitely be very interested in this kind of secret technique.

  However, Jiang Xuan also thought of something. The secret technique that Daojun Su Feng gave Fu Xuan World Deity to comprehend might be a bit improper, and he wondered how powerful it would be.

  While wondering if it was left by a Dijun who attained the Dao through this path, Jiang Xuan continued to look at other secret techniques, but the more he looked, the stranger Jiang Xuan’s expression became.

  "Archery, Mind Power, Saber Techniques, Sword Arts, Deduction, Life, Destruction... What exactly are you comprehending?" Jiang Xuan was somewhat dumbfounded. Were these secret techniques Fu Xuan World Deity’s personal collection, or were they used for comprehension and reference?

  "What the hell is he comprehending?"

  Jiang Xuan became more and more curious. He wasn't a Supreme, possessing the origin of all Daos, comprehending all the Daos in the Chaos Universe. What kind of secret technique would require these?

  As for Supreme-level secret techniques, Jiang Xuan absolutely did not believe it. Dijun-level would already be heaven-defying. If Daojun Su Feng could obtain Supreme-level secret techniques, how could he have failed to harmonize with the Dao?

  Moreover, even without considering the problem of harmonizing with the Dao, his own strength was problematic. If it were really a Supreme-level secret technique, Daojun Su Feng would definitely be able to become an extremely monstrous Daojun with it, and not just a slightly stronger Daojun.

  With this in mind, Jiang Xuan quickly found Fu Xuan World Deity. At this moment, Fu Xuan World Deity's hair was disheveled, his eyes were still wide open, his expression was ferocious, and his whole person seemed to have gone mad.

  Even after dying for countless years, one could see his struggle at the last moment. Unfortunately, he was still too weak. A Fourth Step Daojun wanted him dead, and there was no way he could have survived.

  In his hand, he was still tightly clutching a palm-sized stone book. Probing with his divine sense, one could discover the dense, ancient text within, seemingly without end.

  "Sever!"

  Before long, Jiang Xuan gave a soft shout, actively severing the divine sense that had been completely attracted by the stone book. It was only a moment, but he seemed to have spent countless years, seeing endless, vast secret technique divine characters.

  "What's going on with this secret technique?!" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Xuan would never have believed it. This was too abnormal. If this was a stone book recording all laws, it wasn't at all.

  The secret technique methods in the stone book were all incomplete, and the degree of incompleteness varied, as if to make him complete them one by one.

  However, the stone book contained secret techniques of varying strengths. Some secret techniques had lofty concepts that were simply beyond the comprehension of a World Realm cultivator, and even Daojun might not be able to comprehend them.

  And some secret techniques were extremely simple, and any Celestial God or Celestial Immortal could complete them.

  But completing them didn't seem to be of any use. All the secret techniques had no connection at all. The previous one was talking about sword techniques, and the next one could be talking about dual cultivation, with no logic whatsoever, completely without any pattern to follow.

  "Is this really a secret technique?" Jiang Xuan was very suspicious. Looking at this Fu Xuan World Deity, who was completely driven mad, he completed the secret techniques one by one, but until the last moment, he did not succeed.

  "It is impossible to succeed by comprehending them one by one." Jiang Xuan shook his head. Those extremely powerful secret techniques, wanting to complete them, was simply impossible at the World Realm level.

  There was no reason for Daojun Su Feng to use this method to drive Fu Xuan World Deity mad and desperate. It was too easy for him to kill Fu Xuan World Deity. Moreover, what he gave to another disciple was also a real treasure left by Emperor Xue Jian. This stone book in front of him might really be some kind of "secret technique."

  For the time being, Jiang Xuan could not figure it out, but he would definitely take this stone book away. Not only this stone book, but he also prepared to take away the other secret techniques. They were all obtained for free, without any restrictions, so he naturally accepted them with peace of mind.

  "Forget it, let's leave first. If the road we came from disappears, we'll really have to accompany these guys here." Jiang Xuan thought. This island was relatively safe, so Jiang Xuan’s exploration was relatively fast.

  However, the locations of the various secret realms within the Su Feng Ruins could change. During this period, he had been letting the Wind Beast guard the entrance of the cave. Once there was an abnormal change in space, the Wind Beast would immediately contact Jiang Xuan.

  Of course, the reason why he was able to explore so quickly was also because his strength was already very strong, normally comparable to top World Realm cultivators. In addition, with the guidance of the senior brothers from the Da Mo Academy, although there were some dangerous restrictions on this isolated island, they could not stop Jiang Xuan.

  However, he had already been in the Su Feng Ruins for some time, and his gains had been quite rich. Ordinary Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals might not be able to obtain so many treasures in ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years. It was because he had the Wind Beast that he could freely travel in the non-core area of the Su Feng Ruins. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to come to such a treasure land.

  After emptying Fu Xuan World Deity’s cave heaven world, Jiang Xuan returned along the original path. Although there was no warning from the Wind Beast, there was no value in staying in this place, and it was safer to leave earlier.

  In addition, he was now preparing to first deal with the treasures he had obtained and see how the situation was outside, so he did not stay any longer and directly returned on the Wind Beast.
