Jianchen was a Radiant Saint Master, not a Radiant Warrior. Radiant Saint Masters mainly cultivated their mental force. They used their mental force to communicate with the Radiant Saint Force in the world and control the Radiant Saint Force to heal others. However, Radiant Warriors cultivated the same way as regular cultivators, relying on absorbing energy to increase their strength. Mental force was secondary, because their healing ability increased with the increase of Saint Force in their body. It had nothing to do with mental force. As a result, the Light Origin Energy was not of much help to Jianchen, because he was not a cultivator of Radiant Saint Force.
Although Radiant Saint Master and Radiant Warrior only had a difference of two words, they were two completely different paths of cultivation. One focused on mental force, while the other focused on Saint Force in the body.
Jianchen left the cave very quickly. Although he knew that the Light Origin Energy was inside, it was only for him to comprehend. He could not benefit from staying inside at all. Moreover, he had to endure the piercing pain all over his body.
Afterwards, Jianchen visited the other caves. Other than increasing his knowledge, he did not do anything else. He did not have any of these energies in his body, so he was not fated to have any of them.
Very soon, Jianchen arrived at the third region. The third region was a huge mountain wall with eight extremely large caves. However, these caves were very high from the ground. The lowest one was over thirty meters high, while the highest one was over a hundred meters high, almost reaching the top of the cave. The entire mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror. There were no stairs. Without a certain level of strength, it was impossible to climb up.
There were some words carved on the outside of these caves. On the lowest cave was written, "Left by the Holy Emperor, Second Layer Martial Emperor Yun Yang."
On the top of the three highest caves were written, "Left by the Holy Emperor, Ninth Layer Qin Yu." "Left by the Holy Emperor, Ninth Layer Xue Wuya." "Left by the Holy Emperor, Ninth Layer Long Si Xie Xun."
Jianchen slowly glanced over the caves. It was easy to imagine the shock he felt. The eight huge caves had actually all been left behind by the Holy Emperor, and the three highest caves had actually been left behind by a supreme expert like the Holy Emperor.
"Could it be that the Saint Emperors who left behind these caves were all from Mercenary City?" Jianchen thought. Only at that moment did he truly witness the tip of the iceberg of Mercenary City's strength.
Mercenary City was truly worthy of being a peak organization that had stood on the Tian Yuan Continent for countless years. Not only did they possess over a dozen Saint Rulers, but they also possessed a supreme expert like the Holy Emperor. A colossal organization like them was like an undefeatable beast on the Tian Yuan Continent. No one could kill them.
At this moment, Jianchen could not help but think of the hall master he had seen in the space where he had collected the tokens. At the same time, he was the uncle Tian that Ming Dong had mentioned. If someone like him was a Saint Ruler five thousand years ago, just what level of strength had he reached five thousand years later? Was he the Holy Emperor? Or was he the Holy Emperor? Since he was able to meet him in the competition space created by Mercenary City, did that mean that he was also a member of Mercenary City?
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed his surging emotions. Afterward, he leapt into the lowest cave.
The tunnel in the cave was very long and twisted. Jianchen walked for around three hundred meters before finally reaching the end. It was an extremely spacious cave, around fifty meters in both width and length. There was no light in the cave, so the cave that should have been extremely gloomy was extraordinarily bright. It was the exact same as the sunny world outside. It was impossible to find the source of the light, which added to the sense of mystery.
The walls of the cave were engraved with many images of people. Every single image was extremely lifelike. The people inside performed various actions, as if they were real people.
Three people stood in the center of the cave in a daze as they stared at the images blankly. They stood there like pieces of wood, unable to move at all. One of them was the thirteenth elder that Jianchen recognized.
"Are the images engraved on the walls the legendary Saint Tier Battle Skills?" Jian Chen muttered to himself. He then walked over to the three of them and stood in the middle of the cave like the three of them. He stared at the pictures on the wall for a long time, but he couldn't understand anything. He couldn't make out anything at all.
"Jianchen, why have you come here? Didn't the eighth elder tell you to cultivate in the first region?" Suddenly, the thirteenth elder's voice rang out in Jianchen's ears. The thirteenth elder's voice was filled with surprise.
"Thirteenth elder, I'm just looking around. I heard the eighth elder say that the third region is filled with Saint Tier Battle Skills. Are the images on the walls the Saint Tier Battle Skills?" Jianchen whispered. He was afraid of disturbing the other two, so he spoke very softly.
"That's right. These are indeed Saint Tier Battle Skills. Since you've come here, you must have seen the eight caves outside. This is one of the treasures of our Mercenary City. There are a total of eight Saint Tier Battle Skills, which were left behind by the eight founding elders of our Mercenary City. Every single one of them had reached the level of the Holy Emperor, and these Saint Tier Battle Skills were created by them," the thirteenth elder replied secretly.
"Thirteenth elder, you can comprehend Saint Tier Battle Skills from just a few images? You don't even have a method to cultivate them. How are you supposed to learn them?" Jianchen asked in doubt.
"Saint Tier Battle Skills are different from Heaven Tier Battle Skills. There is no method to cultivate them at all. You have to comprehend every single move on your own. Saint Tier Battle Skills completely borrow the power of the world, so you need to reach Saint Ruler if you want to comprehend Saint Tier Battle Skills. This is because only by reaching Saint Ruler can you begin to comprehend the mysteries of the world and control some of the power of the world. Jianchen, Saint Tier Battle Skills are not something you can comprehend. You're just wasting your time here. You should return to the first region to cultivate. You're the king of mercenaries this time. Once you reach Saint Ruler, you can come to the sacred land to comprehend for five years every fifty years, "the thirteenth elder replied secretly.
"Thank you for your kindness, thirteenth elder. I want to see more of these Saint Tier Battle Skills. Although I can't learn them, it's not bad to broaden my horizons," Jianchen gently smiled.
"Up to you. However, you only have half a year. I hope you cherish it," the thirteenth elder said no more after that.
Jianchen remained calm as he stared at the first image carefully. After learning that he had to comprehend the Saint Tier Battle Skills completely, Jianchen's attitude towards the images immediately changed. He no longer observed them with a normal gaze. Instead, he used his heart to feel every single movement of the people in the images. He did not even overlook their presence.
Seeing every single movement of the people in the images, Jianchen's mind flashed with inspiration from time to time. He seemed to understand something, but he was unable to grasp it. In the blink of an eye, he became very confused again. He felt like there was something more to every single movement, but he was unable to understand what it was. As a result, Jianchen felt very conflicted.
As he looked at the images, Jianchen suddenly felt his mind become very chaotic. He gradually felt his head swell as if it had become a balloon that was constantly inflating. It was about to explode from the powerful 'qi' inside, which gave him a splitting headache.
Jianchen knew that it was because of the Saint Tier Battle Skills. He immediately closed his eyes and sat down on the ground, making his mind blank. He did not think or do anything, maintaining a state of deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Jianchen finally returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at the image again.
Now, Jianchen could see it more clearly than the first time. Gradually, he felt like the people in the images were like the heavens, representing a part of the world. Every single movement of his seemed to be one with the world. Every single movement of his seemed to contain the profound mysteries of the world. Although it seemed like an ordinary attack, it contained a profound mystery. It was something that Jianchen could not understand.
When Jianchen tried his best to understand it, he felt like the attack was just that simple, where he could casually use it. At other times, he would feel like the attack contained many things. It was a simple attack, yet it contained countless variations. At other times, he would feel like the attack was completely natural, having fused with the world, representing the judgment of the world. At other times, he would feel like the attack possessed enough power to shock the world, enough to destroy the world …
It was just a simple drawing, yet Jian Chen had managed to glean so much information. If the Saint Rulers knew about this, they would probably all widen their eyes in disbelief.
It was impossible for an Earth Saint Master to comprehend so much from a Saint Tier Battle Skill. It was possible to imagine that once he grasped the mysteries of the world, comprehending Saint Tier Battle Skills would be an extremely easy matter. It might even be possible for him to create his own Saint Tier Battle Skills.
Very soon, Jianchen's mind became a mess as various information entered Jianchen's head. In the end, his head began to swell, and in the end, he felt like his head was about to split open.
Jianchen immediately copied what he did last time. He closed his eyes and did his best to calm himself down.
Afterwards, Jianchen repeated the same steps over a dozen times. He looked at the first image, but the information he obtained was that the simple image seemed to contain many mysteries. No matter how he looked at it, he could not take another step forward. He could only stop there. If he continued, he would feel like his head was about to split open. His thoughts would become muddled and his reactions would become sluggish.
"Looks like it's impossible to comprehend a Saint Tier Battle Skill without grasping the mysteries of the world. I keep feeling like there are many things that should exist in these moves, but I just can't understand them. Are these the mysteries of the world?" Jianchen secretly sighed inside. The legendary Saint Tier Battle Skill was right before him.
