In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Chapter 96 The Secret of the Fighting Word: I Will Transform into an Invincible Battle Immortal

Ye Fan scratched his head: "Am I hallucinating? Why does it feel like someone is talking? Aren't there no living humans here?"

All Ye Fan saw as he entered were skeletons. He thought that apart from ghosts and ancient creatures, it would be strange to see any living people here.

Lü Yao listened intently, but heard nothing.

Could it be Jiang Taixu? He was extremely weak at this moment, and even a single whispered message would likely require him to rest for a long time.

"It's not your imagination. Many of the ancient human sages who came here were very powerful. And since there's a source here, there might actually be some who survived."

Ye Fan suddenly thought of Lü Yao's speculation about Jiang Taixu: "Could it be that Jiang Taixu is still alive? No, there were thirty-seven people carving characters just now, but none of the seniors from Yao Guang were among them."

Ye Fan suddenly realized this loophole.

To everyone's surprise, Lü Yao looked at him like he was an idiot: "Does entering necessarily require leaving a mark? My ancestor felt his strength was too weak and only managed to come here by chance. Is it not acceptable to leave a mark?"

"You are... a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land?" A very weak voice came.

Ye Fan looked around warily: "Who's talking?!"

"It's me... Jiang Taixu."

The weak voice was so faint it was almost inaudible and disjointed, but it stirred a wave of emotion within Ye Fan: Lü Yao is amazing, what he said is true.

He entered Purple Mountain solely for the Source Heavenly Book; as for rescuing Jiang Taixu and becoming his disciple, he didn't consider that much.

Not to mention that he recently killed many members of the Jiang family, which extinguished his desire to obtain the Hengyu Scripture. He might as well follow Lü Yao to find the Western Emperor Scripture.

If Lü Yao hadn't been so certain that Jiang Taixu wasn't the same person as the current Jiang family, he would have wanted to run away by now.

Lu Yao sensed the source of the sound and said to Ye Fan, "Here, come with me."

He wandered around for a hundred feet, until he reached the end, where he led Ye Fan to a jade disc.

The jade disc was very smooth, like purple jade, bright and clear, clearly reflecting the figures of Lü Yao and Ye Fan.

But inside the jade disc, there were not only two figures, but also another tall and ferocious ancient creature.

It had a single horn between its eyebrows, six arms, two wings on its back, and its body was covered with fine scales.

"What is this?" Upon seeing this, Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine and took three steps back, a simple, dull golden cone appearing in his hand.

The golden cone was incredibly sturdy and exceptionally sharp, and had become an extremely useful weapon for attack.

Even Elder Hualong's magical artifact couldn't withstand a single gentle stroke from the golden cone.

Seeing that Lü Yao remained calm and composed, Ye Fan realized that he might have been overly frightened.

"Is there an ancient creature hiding in here?" Ye Fan walked to Lü Yao's side and asked softly, afraid that a loud voice would wake him up.

In those murals, strange creatures, once awakened, would bring boundless slaughter and raging seas of blood.

"This is an invisible malevolent thought belonging to an ancient being, not a true life form." Lu Yao's calm tone reassured Ye Fan.

Although we haven't encountered any major disasters along the way, this is the training ground of two emperors and sovereigns, so any danger is not out of the question.

Even a Dao-Slaying King was trapped and killed here, so the Dao protectors who are nowhere to be seen beside Lü Yao are probably of little use.

The only things that might be useful are the golden cone in his hand and the holy sword on Lao Lü's back.

Lu Yao added, "If any of the ancient creatures here dare to appear, I will personally cut off their heads."

He added in his mind: "The ancestral kings among the Eight Legions do not count."

Ye Fan felt that Lü Yao's words were extremely domineering and made him feel exceptionally safe.

The weak voice appeared again: "He won't appear for now, you are not in danger."

"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked.

"God King Jiang Taixu".

"Senior is the God-King of the Jiang family from five thousand years ago?" Ye Fan glanced at Lü Yao. He had guessed correctly; the God-King was still alive.

But after Jiang Taixu finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time.

"Senior Jiang Taixu has been trapped here for five thousand years. He may have long since exhausted his life force and would need a long time to recover even to say a single word."

Lu Yao remained calm and waited patiently for Jiang Taixu to recover.

About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Taixu's voice came again: "What is your cultivation level?"

"The Four Extremes".

"Dao Palace".

"Cultivated the ancient methods...cultivated...a single secret realm?" Jiang Taixu's weak voice was filled with a hint of hope.

Ye Fan's voice also weakened: "No."

"I am not either." Lü Yao's voice was loud and clear, unlike Ye Fan, who showed no shame for his weak cultivation.

Besides, Jiang Taixu asked about "cultivating a single secret realm," but he specializes in cultivating the two secret realms of the Wheel Sea Dao Palace! This is definitely not cultivating a single secret realm. I have cultivated two, and perhaps I can cultivate three in the future.

The last glimmer of hope in Jiang Taixu's voice vanished, replaced by despair: "Too weak."

"This junior has brought a powerful figure and a sacred sword with him," Lü Yao said. Perhaps because he was too weak, Jiang Taixu's divine sense did not detect the Great Yan Peak Master beside him and the sacred artifact behind him.

Then, after waiting for almost half an hour, Jiang Taixu's voice finally appeared again: "Still a little short, not enough."

He himself had long since become a saint, but his body was too depleted, and he slowly exhausted his energy and spirit here.

If a powerful being wields a sacred artifact and only unleashes a wisp of its sacred power, its strength will be similar to its previous state, and it will not be able to break through the stone wall.

If the sacred artifact is fully restored, it may awaken the terrifying creatures deep within Purple Mountain. If one or two kings appear, all three of them will die here.

Lu Yao could guess some of Jiang Taixu's thoughts and concerns: "Senior is worried that the full restoration of the sacred artifact will awaken the creatures deep in Purple Mountain? But I think that the Emperor Bell of the Great Emperor Wushi will not allow the ancient race at the level of saints to break out of the seal."

Jiang Taixu said, "The Primordial Clan's Dao-Slaying Kings wielding sacred weapons will not be bothered by the Beginningless Bell."

Both Lü Yao and Ye Fan said they wanted to give it a try, and that they had other ideas, even showing their poker faces.

But Jiang Taixu ignored him and said in a weak voice, "I will pass on a secret technique to the three of you."

Two hours later, a withered shadow appeared in the jade wall, with bones clearly visible and skin that had lost its luster and was directly wrapped around the bones.

His hair reached the ground, trailing behind his emaciated body.

"Watch closely." Jiang Taixu struck a strange pose, and a mantra was simultaneously transmitted to Lü Yao, Ye Fan, and Poker Face.

This mnemonic is very short, but extremely obscure and profound.

At the same time, the shadow in the jade disc made a series of movements. If the first movement was the starting stance, then the subsequent movements were the true inheritance.

Lü Yao knew that this was the secret of the word "fight" and quickly borrowed the understanding of Tai Chi.

A Bodhi seed appeared in Ye Fan's hand, emitting a soft green light that enveloped him.

[Your "Tai Chi Chuan" has just awakened from its cultivation state, and you have seen such a secret method to fight against heaven and earth. You feel that you are not alone on this path.]

The "Dou" secret technique not only possesses an air of unparalleled dominance, but also the ability to evolve one method into all methods under heaven. This is remarkably similar to my own path of transforming all methods under heaven into Yin and Yang, and perhaps we can gain some inspiration from it.

Following the incantation and posture, Lü Yao began practicing the Fighting Secret Technique. After just one cycle, an aura of unstoppable fighting spirit emanated from him:

[Your "Fighting Secret" awakens from its slumber, its blood energy soaring to the heavens. Its eyes gleam with disdain, surveying the nine heavens and ten realms with unparalleled arrogance. Its fighting spirit soars to the sky; even wounded beyond measure, it charges onward! Even if emperors descend, it will carve a bloody path through them! It will become an invincible War Immortal! Fight! Fight! Fight!]

That's insane!
