The First Marquis of Daxuan

"If I could really handle those four desolate creatures, do you think I would be afraid of your threats?"

Master Xuanxuan said, somewhat speechless.

"Pangu's power might be able to restrain the first generation of desolate creatures, but I can't."

Although I benefited from Pangu's tomb, I am not Pangu.

You know how capable I am.

Master Xuanxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If he had the power of Pangu, he would have crushed Su Mu long ago and humiliated him. Why would he have to suffer this humiliation?

"You dug up Pangu's tomb but still couldn't master Pangu's power. You're really useless."

Su Mudao.

Master Xuanxuan: "..."

What kind of person is this? He was clearly asking him about Pangu, and now he's making sarcastic remarks.

So what if I'm not as good as Pangu?
That would be comparable?

Looking across all the worlds and realms, who among them can rival Pangu in strength?

Despite Jin Hong's seemingly arrogant demeanor, he is still far inferior to Pangu.

Master Xuanxuan had self-awareness and knew the extent of the difference between himself and Pangu.

"You may look down on me, but you are not as good as Pangu."

Master Xuanxuan sneered, "If you had the strength of Pangu, would you still need to go around in circles here?"

You couldn't defeat those four original Desolate Heaven creatures either, so you wanted to find a breakthrough by targeting me, right?

"If you're so capable, then don't beg me."

Su Mu glanced at him expressionlessly and walked forward slowly.

Master Xuanxuan looked at Su Mu with some doubt in his heart. He didn't know what Su Mu wanted to do.

Su Mu slowly walked to the half-stone tablet and placed his hand on it.

hum!
With a soft sound, a gentle white light emanated from Su Mu's body.

Master Xuanxuan revealed a mocking smile.

He had already searched this ancient tomb countless times, and he had carefully examined every single brick.

He certainly wouldn't let go of that half of the stone tablet.

However, after examining it countless times, he concluded that the half-stone was just an ordinary stone tablet.

Although the material is slightly better than the stone tablets used by ordinary kings and nobles, it is still just a slightly better stone, which is meaningless to powerful people like them.

If it were useful, why would he have left this half of the stone tablet here?

"You don't believe in superstitions, do you?"

Master Xuanxuan sneered inwardly, "You'll soon realize how ridiculous your behavior is."

I've already searched every inch of the place; if you still manage to find something you don't need, I might as well just smash my head against a block of tofu and die.

The thought had just arisen in Master Xuanxuan's mind.

suddenly.

A blinding white light suddenly burst forth from the broken stone tablet.

His eyes widened instantly, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit a duck egg.

What's happening here?
He had clearly examined this stone tablet, and he had even tried to infuse it with power.

But the stone tablet did not react at all.

He even once chopped off a piece of the stone tablet.

He was quite certain that the stone tablet was just an ordinary tombstone!

What's going on here?
"This is weird, really weird!"

Master Xuanxuan roared madly in his heart.

Why does everything become so strange whenever Su Mu is involved?

How could such a strange thing happen when an ordinary tombstone fell into Su Mu's hands?

Master Xuanxuan stared wide-eyed, his breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

Could Su Mu have really stumbled upon a great bargain?
What secrets are hidden inside this tombstone?
Master Xuanxuan also had some expectations in his heart.

He had visited Pangu's Tomb more than once, and he believed he had taken everything of value from it.

But now Su Mu has discovered something else.

This is Pangu's tomb.

Anything of value here is absolutely priceless.

Master Xuanxuan felt a surge of excitement.

If he weren't wary of Su Mu's strength, he would have snatched the half of the tombstone immediately.

Now, he knew he was no match for Su Mu, and it was impossible for him to steal the tombstone. But if he could see what secrets were hidden inside the tombstone, then all the humiliation he had suffered would not have been in vain.

Rumble!
As the white light grew increasingly blinding, a deep rumble of thunder came from the tombstone.

In an instant, a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the tombstone.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot out and landed on Su Mu's brow.

It was so fast that even Su Mu didn't have time to dodge.

Master Xuanxuan looked at Su Mu, then at the tombstone.

He was astonished to find that the tombstone had turned to ashes and completely disappeared.

Master Xuanxuan held his breath and suddenly turned to stare at Su Mu.

Su Mu's eyes were half-closed, and his aura fluctuated.

Master Xuanxuan's expression kept changing, his eyes sometimes showing eagerness, sometimes full of curiosity, and sometimes showing patience.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, and his aura instantly subsided.

"what's the situation?"

Master Xuanxuan asked impatiently, "What did you discover?"
This is not an ordinary tombstone.

Could it be that Pangu hid his legacy inside the tombstone?

Why didn't I find anything when I checked the tombstone before?

Master Xuanxuan asked several questions in one breath.

Only after asking the question did he realize that he had been somewhat out of line.

He and Su Mu weren't that close.

Come to think of it, not long ago they were mortal enemies.

Even now, they can only cooperate temporarily; they haven't turned enemies into friends yet.

Master Xuanxuan thought to himself, if he were Su Mu, he would not tell his enemy anything he obtained from Pangu's Tomb.

Su Mu certainly won't tell him what he's gained now.

The moment this thought arose, Master Xuanxuan heard Su Mu say it.

"It can't be considered a legacy; it's just a piece of advice from Pangu."

Su Mu said calmly.

"advice?"

A look of surprise flashed across Master Xuanxuan's face.

He didn't expect that Su Mu would actually be willing to tell him.

"What advice?"

He blurted out the question, wishing he could slap himself hard. Why didn't he learn his lesson?

Why do you have to ask?

If Su Mu doesn't answer, wouldn't he be humiliating himself?
Su Mu gave Xuanxuan Shangren a meaningful look, which made Xuanxuan Shangren even angrier.

He shouldn't have asked!
Losing face in front of Su Mu was more painful for him than being killed.

He would rather lose face in front of Black Dragon Ao Kun than in front of Su Mu.

Even if he loses face in front of others, Master Xuanxuan knows that he could easily crush the other person, which means he is sparing their life, so he will not be angry.

But he was humiliated in front of Su Mu; he really had no way to deal with Su Mu, and it was truly humiliating.

"You want to know?"

Su Mu said calmly.

Master Xuanxuan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

It would be a lie to say I don't want to.

But if Su Mu says "I'm not telling you" when the time comes, wouldn't that make him so angry he'd vomit blood?
"If you're willing to talk, then I'll reluctantly listen."

After pondering for a long time, Master Xuanxuan finally came up with an answer.

This is how he can demonstrate his initiative.

He didn't beg Su Mu; Su Mu begged him.

Su Mu didn't care about Xuanxuan Shangren's naivety, and simply said, "Pangu said that the burial objects in his tomb were all problematic, and he left behind a method to specifically restrain those tomb raiders."

No matter who steals anything from his tomb, this method can retrieve those items from the tomb robbers, even cultivation levels.

Su Mu had a half-smile on his face.

Master Xuanxuan was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'even cultivation level is the same'?" "If someone obtains any martial arts techniques here and practices them, their cultivation level will be stripped away."

Su Mudao.

"This is impossible! How could such a thing possibly happen in the world?"
Even if the cultivation techniques he left behind were flawed, what right did he have to steal the hard-earned cultivation levels of others?

Master Xuanxuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Why bother with morality when dealing with tomb raiders?"

Su Mu gave a half-smile.

Master Xuanxuan realized his lapse in composure, "I'm not talking about moral issues, I'm saying how is this possible?"
Even if the technique has flaws, at most it would only give you a slight advantage when fighting against someone. How could it possibly strip someone of their cultivation?
"That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Don't try to guess how powerful Pangu is. What seems impossible to you is nothing more than a snap of his fingers for Pangu."

Su Mu calmly said, "He hid this method inside the tombstone, so that only those who did not come to rob the tomb could obtain it."

Su Mu's eyes were full of mockery.

Master Xuanxuan entered this tomb several times, all with the aim of robbing it.

So when he touched the tombstone, it did not react at all.

When Su Mu entered, the place was in ruins, and he had no intention of robbing the tomb at all.

By a twist of fate, he triggered the tombstone's restriction and unexpectedly received advice from Pangu.

This is a classic example of how something unexpected can turn out well.

"you--"

Master Xuanxuan was speechless.

He didn't know whether Su Mu was telling the truth or not.

He suspected that Su Mu was bluffing him, but he had no proof.

What if?
What if Su Mu is telling the truth, and Pangu really left behind such a method? Wouldn't he be doomed?

Seventy percent of his current strength comes from the gifts of Pangu.

If Su Mu really had such a method, wouldn't he be able to easily take away 70% of his strength?

All his efforts over the years have been for nothing but benefiting Su Mu.
Is he truly doomed to never have a chance to turn things around against Su Mu?

Master Xuanxuan was overwhelmed by immense despair, and for a moment, he almost shed tears.

Even if that were true, it wouldn't make a difference.

Master Xuanxuan suppressed his frustration and said in a relaxed manner, "Didn't you come here to find a way to deal with the first generation of Desolate Heavenly Creatures?"
The methods Pangu left you cannot deal with them.

Oh, right, I remember now.

"What did you remember?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

"I've figured out how to deal with the four original Desolate Creatures."

Master Xuanxuan looked as if he had just remembered.

"I obtained a martial art from Pangu's tomb, called the Pangu Creation Technique. Pangu was able to kill the predecessors of four desolate creatures by relying on this martial art."

This martial art should be more suitable for dealing with the four original Desolate Heaven creatures than your Daoist scripture.”

Master Xuanxuan said, "Anyway, I haven't practiced this martial art. If you're interested, I can give it to you. You can try to see if you can deal with four first-generation Desolate Heaven creatures."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Master Xuanxuan saw Su Mu's ambiguous smile.

His heart sank. Could Su Mu, that bastard, have done this on purpose?

He deliberately fabricated the story that Pangu left behind a method of restraint to scare him, just to force him to hand over the Pangu Creation Technique.
Su Mu must have known that there was nothing he could do if he didn't speak up, which is why he came up with this method of cutting off his lineage!
I was careless!
Master Xuanxuan cursed inwardly, but he dared not gamble on whether Su Mu had truly obtained the method left behind by Pangu.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance it's true, he wouldn't dare gamble.

He has devoted so much effort over the years and finally achieved his current level of cultivation. How could he take such a risk?

Isn't it just the Pangu Creation Technique?
What good would it do to give it to you?
Even I, the Venerable Xuanxuan, couldn't master this martial art. Even if you, Su Mu, have some talent, do you think you can master it?

Master Xuanxuan comforted himself and took out a jade slip, tossing it to Su Mu.

Su Mu took it casually and, without any precaution, extended his divine sense to look into the jade slip.

He stood frozen in place, as if absorbed in something, his mind wandering.

Master Xuanxuan clenched his fists, and for a moment, he wanted to launch a sneak attack on Su Mu.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

He had come into contact with the Pangu Creation Technique and knew that anyone who came into contact with it would be stunned by the immense power of the martial art.

When a person can regain consciousness depends on just how strong their spirit is.

Some people may never wake up.

This wasn't Master Xuanxuan deliberately trying to trick Su Mu; it was a side effect inherent in this martial art.

Not everyone is qualified to learn powerful martial arts.

He wasn't afraid even if Su Mu confronted him face to face.

This is what the Pangu Creation Technique is like. If you are stunned by the imagery inherent in martial arts, then you can only say that you are not capable enough. Do you blame me?
Theoretically, Su Mu's soul is currently being stunned by the Pangu Creation Technique, so he should be completely unaware of the commotion outside.

If someone were to ambush him at this moment, he would be completely powerless to resist.

But theory is just theory.

Master Xuanxuan felt that theories might not be useful to Su Mu.

Su Mu has too many illogical things about him, so who knows if the Pangu Creation Technique can really shake his soul?
What if Su Mu is just pretending to be lost in thought?

What if Su Mu is deliberately trying to lure me into making a move?
Master Xuanxuan believed that Su Mu was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Su Mu was the most treacherous and cunning person he had ever met, besides himself.

If he hadn't been cooperating with Su Mu all along, Su Mu would probably have killed him long ago.

He couldn't give Su Mu a reason to make a move.

Master Xuanxuan's eyes darted around, glancing at Su Mu one moment and then at the surrounding ruins the next.

If Su Mu could obtain something from the broken tombstone, could there be something else hidden in this ancient tomb that he hasn't discovered yet?
He wouldn't have had this thought before, but now Su Mu has already gotten a great deal right in front of him.

Master Xuanxuan now feels that even a brick might contain some secret.

He searched high and low, but in his eyes, the ruins were still just ruins.

He had to admit that Su Mu was indeed quite capable.

Things that others couldn't discover, Su Mu, that bastard, was able to find.

Master Xuanxuan wandered around for a while and then returned to Su Mu's side.

He looked at Su Mu, who was standing there with his eyes closed, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Could it be that Su Mu can really master the Pangu Creation Technique?
It is true that Master Xuanxuan obtained the Pangu Creation Technique, but for many years, he has been cultivating another martial art inherited from Pangu. He has also tried to cultivate the Pangu Creation Technique, but the results have been minimal.

His decision to hand over the Pangu Creation Technique just now might not be without this reason.

He felt that even if he gave Su Mu the Pangu Creation Technique, which he had spent so many years trying to master, Su Mu might not be able to master it.

Even Master Xuanxuan is now somewhat unsure.

He suddenly had a feeling that Su Mu might surprise him again.

Who knows, Su Mu might actually be able to master the Pangu Creation Technique.

If Su Mu really mastered the Pangu Creation Technique...

Master Xuanxuan's mind immediately became active.

Others may not know, but he knows what the Pangu Creation Technique means.

The Pangu Creation Technique was Pangu's most powerful cultivation method.

Pangu was able to kill that powerful figure back then because of the Pangu Creation Technique.

Moreover, only the Pangu Creation Technique can sever this great tree that has grown into countless worlds.

If Su Mu could truly master the Pangu Creation Technique—

Master Xuanxuan shook his head, still feeling that it was unlikely.

Even if Su Mu could truly master the Pangu Creation Technique, it wouldn't be something he could do in a short time.

It took Pangu hundreds of years to master this martial art, let alone Su Mu.

Even if Su Mu could master it, it would be too late to participate in the grand competition against the Desolate Sky Creatures.

If those ten competitions end badly, Su Mu will have no future, even if he has the talent to master the Pangu Creation Technique.

Master Xuanxuan could almost imagine that once those four first-generation Desolate Heaven creatures learned that Su Mu possessed the Pangu Creation Technique, they would definitely not let Su Mu go.

As for whether the four original Desolate Creatures would know about this.

Does that even need to be said?

This matter was definitely not leaked by Master Xuanxuan.

Why couldn't the original Desolate Sky Creatures discover the clues themselves?
In any case, the original Desolate Sky Creatures weren't exactly pushovers.

Master Xuanxuan nodded in agreement, silently humming in his heart.

Just then, suddenly...

A sharp aura emanated from Su Mu and soared into the sky.

boom!
Master Xuanxuan's expression changed, and he was forced to retreat continuously by that aura.

In an instant, the entire Pangu Tomb shook violently, the ruins turned to dust, and a huge crack appeared in the ground.

Master Xuanxuan's face was ashen, and his whole body trembled.

This is--

The aura of Pangu's Creation Technique?
How is this possible?
Did Su Mu really master it? (End of Chapter)
