Chu Fengmian sighed inwardly.
Thankfully, the Holy Son cultivated the Heart-Devil Slaughtering Incantation, which was definitely a technique from the wretched dao.
Lightning was the ultimate power of yang, and was the bane of wretched techniques. Otherwise, the Holy Son would have been in the same situation as Chu Fengmian.
After passing through the fourth gate, Chu Fengmian arrived at the fifth gate.
Of course, the Holy Son had already passed the first three gates, which meant that he must have benefited greatly. In the future, he would definitely be a formidable opponent for Chu Fengmian.
"Senior, may I ask what the test for the fifth gate is?"
Chu Fengmian calmed his mind and temporarily stopped thinking about other things. Instead, he focused all of his attention on the examination in front of him.
The test of the fifth gate was the last test. However, it should also be the most difficult test.
If Chu Fengmian passed, he would be able to acquire the legacy of Grand Emperor Rich-Lush. But if he failed, he would be left with nothing.
Therefore, Chu Fengmian had no choice but to get serious.
"Test? The test for the fifth gate is simple. You just have to defeat me. "
Grand Emperor Rich-Lush laughed heartily.
"If you can't defeat me, what qualifications do you have to acquire my legacy?"
"What?!"
Chu Fengmian's pupils constricted.
Defeat Grand Emperor Rich-Lush?
Although this Grand Emperor Rich-Lush was only a projection, he still had the power of a Sage. Even if Chu Fengmian were ten times as strong, he still wouldn't be able to defeat him.
This test wasn't something that could be passed by mere mortals. Could it be that Grand Emperor Rich-Lush had set up this test to toy with people?
Even as Chu Fengmian's mind raced, Grand Emperor Rich-Lush saw the expression on his face and laughed loudly.
"Of course I'm not asking you to defeat me. Considering how strong you are, even if I'm just a projection, you're still far from being a match for me.
"What I want to test is your understanding of martial skills. I'll pass on to you the most powerful martial skill I've ever used to dominate the nine realms, the Rich-Lush Megaplexus Palm.
"I'll suppress my power to the same level as you. After that, if you can understand the Rich-Lush Megaplexus Palm to seventy percent, you'll be able to defeat me.
"Whether or not you pass the test will depend on your ability to understand the martial skill. Without it, you won't qualify to be my successor."
Said Grand Emperor Rich-Lush proudly.
The reason he set up so many tests was to test the cultivators who were truly capable of inheriting his power.
Aptitude, temperament, intelligence, and strength. Not a single one could be missing. A powerful person like him had extremely strict requirements for his disciples.
"Comprehending a Martial Technique?"
This test wasn't that hard to understand. However, the Lush Grand Luo Palm was a type of palm technique.
As for Chu Fengmian, as a sword cultivator, he had never studied palm techniques in his previous life. Therefore, his various experiences in his previous life were completely meaningless.
"This King will give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, this King will make his move."
All of a sudden, an image appeared in Chu Fengmian's mind.
These were the images of the Bountiful Heaven Palm.
With that, Grand Emperor Rich-Lush suppressed his power to the peak of the Wind-Control Realm, which was roughly the same level as Chu Fengmian.
After all the tests, Grand Emperor Rich-Lush knew exactly how strong Chu Fengmian was, and knew exactly how strong he was.
"Rich-Lush Great Net Palm!"
Chu Fengmian said, closing his eyes and recalling everything he knew about the Rich-Lush Great Net Palm.
The Rich-Lush Great Net Palm was a martial technique that Grand Emperor Rich-Lush had created when he was at his peak, and was considered a supreme-grade Earth-class technique.
In terms of power, it was close to the level of a heavenly-class martial technique.
"What a powerful palm technique!"
Chu Fengmian couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Many of the powerful martial techniques that existed today had been created in ancient times, when the martial dao was flourishing.
In the present age, there were some experts who could create low-grade Earth-class martial techniques, and could be considered grandmasters of the martial dao.
People like Grand Emperor Rich-Lush, who could create supreme-grade Earth-class martial techniques, were extremely rare. Even in the seven great sects, people like him were revered.
Grand Emperor Rich-Lush really was a grandmaster of the martial dao.
As Chu Fengmian looked at the Rich-Lush Great Net Palm, he couldn't help but frown.
It was almost the same as what he had imagined. Chu Fengmian could be said to know nothing about palm techniques. In just ten minutes, Chu Fengmian was afraid that Chu Fengmian could only use palm techniques.
He might not even be able to unleash ten percent of its power, much less seventy percent.
'Is there really no other way?'
Chu Fengmian thought anxiously. If he failed this final test, everything would be for naught.
'Palm technique …. If I can't cultivate it, then what about changing it?'
Chu Fengmian's mind was filled with countless ideas.
Since he didn't have any advantage in cultivating palm techniques, why didn't he change his palm techniques?
The Rich-Lush Great Net Palm was the culmination of all of Grand Emperor Rich-Lush's martial disciplines.
Of course, what suited Grand Emperor Rich-Lush didn't necessarily suit Chu Fengmian. Chu Fengmian could change it into something that suited him better.
And so, he did.
Pulling out the Scarlet Flame Sword, Chu Fengmian poured the power of the Rich-Lush Great Net Palm into the tip of the sword.
Next, Chu Fengmian drew on his spirit power.
Creating a new martial skill.
What Chu Fengmian wanted to do was create a new martial skill based on Grand Emperor Rich-Lush's palm.
When it came to palm techniques, Chu Fengmian didn't know anything about them. But when it came to sword techniques, few people in the world could compare to him.
Therefore, he wanted to fuse the power of the Rich-Lush Great Net Palm into his sword technique, creating a new one that would suit Chu Fengmian.
'Creating a new sword technique?'
Grand Emperor Rich-Lush could tell what Chu Fengmian was thinking, and was visibly startled.
Chu Fengmian was actually trying to create a new sword technique based on the Rich-Lush Great Net Palm.
Creating martial techniques and swordsmanship was something that could only be done by martial artists who were at least Saints. Only when one's strength reached Saints could one truly comprehend the true essence of martial arts.
However, among the ten Saints, there was probably less than one who could create a Martial Sword Technique. Less than one in ten could create a Martial Sword Technique.
That was something that required a profound understanding of the martial path.
