"I didn't expect you to be so bold. You even dared to talk back to the Elder. Aren't you afraid of being split into two by the Elder?"
After Nan Tuoni had gone far away and his figure could no longer be seen, Bai Daoxin looked at Wang Yan and asked this question with a smile. Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Practicing martial arts cultivates one's mind. If one's Taoist Heart doesn't allow other thoughts to be imposed on one's body, one must prove one's own thoughts. Otherwise, what kind of mind would one cultivate?"
"Taoist Heart, Taoist Heart? Sometimes I feel that this world is really real, but it's still an illusion after all. ()”
Bai Daoxin sighed softly. However, when she looked at Wang Yan's expression, it seemed that Wang Yan understood her words. He was not surprised at all, nor was he perplexed. She asked curiously, "Do you know what an illusion represents?"
"I don't fully understand."
Wang Yan spoke the truth. Even now, his understanding of the nature of this world was still limited. Seeing this, Bai Daoxin wanted to say something, but in the end, he waved his hand and said in a somewhat lonely manner, "No matter what, I will remember you, Wang Yan. I will remember that you are my friend. If one day you suddenly disappear, I think I will occasionally think of you, and occasionally miss the days when I taught you Xingyi Fist."
Suddenly disappear?!
Wang Yan's heart suddenly tightened. In the darkness, he seemed to have sensed something. It was a feeling that his life and death were in the hands of others. If it wasn't for the strange experience he had on Mount Tailan, he might have been in a constant state of anxiety because of this feeling. But now, he only felt that time was pressing. He had to become stronger faster so that he would have enough strength to explore more secrets and take a firm step on the path of seeking truth!
When he thought of this, Wang Yan buried his delusions and unknown thoughts in the bottom of his heart. Then, he pointed at the glowing crystal on the bookshelf and said to Bai Daoxin, "Do you know what this is?"
Bai Daoxin followed the direction of Wang Yan's finger and looked at it. Puzzled, she said, "This is a jade scroll. Many large sects have it in their collection. Don't you know what this is?"
Jade scroll? This was the first time that Wang Yan had heard of such a thing. Bai Daoxin looked at Wang Yan's blank and ignorant expression, and suddenly remembered something, and said in a disdainful tone, "I remember, you were just a janitor disciple, haha, it's normal that you don't know about this jade slip."
Bai Daoxin took advantage of the situation to harshly ridicule Wang Yan, but she didn't beat around the bush and immediately said, "You also know the background of this world. In the past, it was a land of Immortal Cultivators. These jade slips were used by cultivators to store their Divine Sense. Later, when Xiantian martial artists gave birth to their Martial Spirits, they could also form their Divine Sense. Therefore, some Martial Dao Cultivation Methods were also recorded in these jade slips."
Innate Realm warrior? Immortal means?
Wang Yan didn't expect that this little crystal would have such a background. As for Xiantian martial artists, his understanding was limited, but he had heard a little about Martial Spirits. It was said that it was the second minor realm of the Xiantian realm, but he didn't know the specifics. However, this wasn't what Wang Yan was concerned about at the moment. He couldn't help but think of the crystal he had obtained from Mount Tailan. According to Bai Daoxin, this thing was a jade scroll used to store Cultivation Methods. Then, didn't that mean that it was very likely that Tianxing's Cultivation Methods were stored in it?
Although Ren Tianxing cultivated in the demonic arts of the Evil Path, his [Thousand Shadows Transformation], which made people unable to distinguish between the real and the fake, made Wang Yan envious. If he could obtain this martial art, even if he couldn't practice it due to the difference in the fundamental cultivation method, Wang Yan felt that he would benefit greatly just by using it as a reference.
Just as Wang Yan was pondering, Bai Daoxin continued, "This kind of jade slip is very convenient to store cultivation techniques, but it's not easy for warriors like us to read the contents of it. We need to cultivate our Divine Will to a certain extent before we can probe into the jade slip and peek at the cultivation technique. Moreover, because the cultivation technique in the jade slip is left behind by a Xiantian warrior's Divine Sense, depending on how much Divine Sense one has left behind, the content of the jade slip will collapse on its own after it has been used at most ten times, or at least three or four times. Therefore, the cultivation technique in the jade slip will be memorized by someone with a strong Divine Will, and then engraved into a secret manual by a secret inscriber.
However, the Divine Sense is extremely mysterious, and I've heard that using a jade slip is completely different from studying a secret manual. As for the specific difference, I don't know. "
Wang Yan's heart stirred when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to take out the jade slip left behind by Ren Tianxing and study it. However, he also knew that this wasn't the right place to do so, so he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, withdrew his gaze, and asked, "Do you know where the 'Heavenly Silk Art' is kept?"
Wang Yan's goal in coming to the Heaven's Wall Cave was very clear, and that was to obtain the 'Heavenly Silk Art'. Since Bai Daoxin was by his side, he didn't want to waste time looking for it himself. Bai Daoxin's eyes revealed a trace of surprise when he heard this, and then he smiled, "You came prepared."
Saying this, Bai Daoxin beckoned to Wang Yan, and led Wang Yan forward. Soon, the two of them arrived at the innermost bookshelf, and Wang Yan saw that there was a secret manual placed on this bookshelf, and it was the 'Heavenly Silk Art'.
Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately reached out to take the secret manual, and was about to open it to have a look, but he didn't expect that Bai Daoxin, who was next to him, would say, "Although you've already made up your mind to choose this secret technique, don't blame me for not reminding you that you probably won't have the opportunity to enter the Heaven's Wall Cave in the future. Why don't you take advantage of the time you still have to look through the other secret manuals? In any case, you've already obtained the 'Heavenly Silk Art', so it won't be too late to read it in the future. "
After saying this, Bai Daoxin winked at Wang Yan, as if saying 'you understand'. Wang Yan naturally understood the meaning behind Bai Daoxin's words. Bai Daoxin wanted him to take the opportunity to learn a few more secret techniques. After all, Wang Yan wasn't a player, and with Wang Yan's comprehension ability, if he was given enough time, he could indeed forcibly memorize one or even several secret manuals in a short period of time.
"Didn't your Master say that I can only stay for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense?"
Wang Yan didn't forget the restriction that Zong Wanliu had given him. However, Bai Daoxin didn't seem to care at all, and said, "My Master just said that. Since we've come in, as long as the Ancestor doesn't chase us out, we can stay as long as we want. If he asks, I'll help you."
"Thank you."
Wang Yan stared blankly at Bai Daoxin. He understood that this might be the care between friends, just like what he had done for Zhang Xiaobao in Wu Dong Gorge. Bai Daoxin waved her hand and said, "Hurry up."
As he spoke, Bai Daoxin pointed to the other side and said, "Don't go over there. The bookshelves there are filled with secret manuals that have restrictions placed on them, and the cultivation techniques within them can only be cultivated by those who possess certain special natural endowments. Not to mention cultivating them, ordinary people can't even look at them.
