Such a place seemed to have undergone the baptism of doomsday. All the lingqi had leaked out, and all the principles had been disrupted. It made Ye Xiwen feel as if he had returned to his previous life on Earth. It was the end of the world.
"What is this place? How can there be such a place in the True Martial Secret Territory?" Ye Xiwen asked. This place had completely subverted his impression of the True Martial Secret Territory. In his original impression, the True Martial Secret Territory wasn't full of heavenly treasures. In fact, it was more or less the same. The situation he had seen along the way was similar to what he had guessed. Therefore, he hadn't expected that there would be such a place.
A sandstorm rose in the distance. The northern wind whistled past, and a figure slowly walked over amidst the endless sandstorm. There wasn't the slightest bit of Real Elemental Energy fluctuation on his body. Neither was there any fluctuation of principles. It seemed as if he was an ordinary person. He walked step by step in the sandstorm with difficulty. It seemed as if his body was suffering from an incomparably heavy power. Every step he took would sink into the ground. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he arrived beside the two of them. However, it seemed as if he hadn't seen anything. He brushed past the two of them without any distractions. It seemed as if everything in the world had turned into nothingness in his heart.
He walked step by step in this manner. However, a terrifying aura could be felt in Ye Xiwen's eyes.
Zeng Hexu waited until the man had gone far away before he opened his mouth and said, "Those people are Ascetics. This world has been specially opened up for them. These people may be the strongest people of our True Martial University. However, they are also a group of lunatics!"
Zeng Hexu's face revealed a somewhat fearful look when he mentioned 'lunatics'.
Ascetics … Ye Xiwen had seen the records of these people in some ancient books. These people were a group of people who enjoyed suffering. They would use every possible method to torture their body and spirit. They would deeply experience the endless pain. They would sublimate in this pain, and experience the principles of the world.
Zeng Hexu wasn't wrong in describing these people as lunatics because they were indeed a group of lunatics. There was nothing wrong with being ruthless to others. When a person was pushed to the extreme, there was nothing they wouldn't do. A seemingly honest person might erupt with unimaginable brutality. However, these Ascetics were different. They were not only ruthless to their enemies, but even more ruthless to themselves. They would use methods that their enemies wouldn't be able to use to deal with themselves. Whether it was their spirit or body, they were very terrifying.
At the same time, these Ascetic Cultivators were often the most powerful group of people in a sect because they were not afraid of death. If they really fought, they would be like madmen who did not care about their lives. Thus, these Ascetic Cultivators rarely went out to cause trouble, but once they did, they would not rest until they were dead.
That person didn't seem to have anything on his body, but Ye Xiwen guessed that he might have added some kind of gravitational matrix on his body. This was also very common because these Ascetic Cultivators didn't practice any kind of 'body tempering power technique'. They purely used this kind of self-torturing method to strengthen their bodies.
They believed that the human body itself was a masterpiece of the heavens. It was the most perfect thing in the world. Those Ascetics wanted to change the physique, which was a blasphemy to the human body. This was the best method.
Although this method was simple, those who could persist were very terrifying. There were many strong Ascetics in the past. They didn't come out easily, but once they did, they would inevitably be strong enough to shake the world.
Looking at the disappearing figure of that person, Ye Xiwen couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva. These people were indeed worthy of their reputation as lunatics.
Cultivating in this environment that was close to the end of the Dharma Age was simply a great test for people. They had to work hard, especially in a situation where they couldn't feel the Laws and couldn't use their Quintessential Essence.
In a situation where there was almost no spiritual energy, every trace of Real Elemental Energy had to be used sparingly. Under such harsh conditions, one might not have the slightest breakthrough for ten or even a hundred years. However, once one had a breakthrough, it would inevitably be explosive.
This kind of practice was very bitter. Only people with great perseverance could do it.
Ye Xiwen admired these people. However, he wouldn't do it.
The two of them passed through this degenerate area, and went straight to the core of the True Martial Secret Territory. Even sage experts like Zeng Hexu had to be very careful when they arrived at this place. Tyrannical divine senses would sweep over them from time to time. The two of them entered the Water Moon Fairyland, and then disappeared. Ye Xiwen discovered that there was a matrix in the vicinity of the Water Moon Fairyland that isolated the divine senses of those people.
Zeng Hexu pointed to the surroundings after they arrived at the place and said, "This is the Water Moon Fairyland. The inside of the Water Moon Fairyland isn't open to the public. However, there are forty-nine kinds of inheritances in the Water Moon Fairyland. You can choose any one of them to comprehend. These inheritances aren't open to the public. So, you can comprehend any one of them, and you'll reach the peak of the Great Sage realm at the very least!"
Zeng Hexu looked at Ye Xiwen enviously. Any one of these forty-nine kinds of inheritances was world-shaking. One would become very powerful if one chose any one of them and practiced it to the depth. However, not everyone could practice these inheritances. Even those heaven's pride experts would have to wait for a very long time. In fact, they would have to at least enter the sage realm before they could be recruited to practice here. In fact, Ye Xiwen was the only person who had been recruited to the semi-sage realm as far as Zeng Hexu knew.
Ye Xiwen looked as far as the eye could see, and saw an incomparably huge plain. Forty-nine steles were erected all around the plain. Each of these steles was thousands of feet high. Some inexplicable symbols or ancient seal characters were engraved on their surface.
No one could understand which race's characters these were. However, one didn't need to look at them to understand them. Instead, one had to comprehend them. That was because the person who had written these inheritances had already engraved his own comprehensions into these steles. So, one could only comprehend them in this manner. Otherwise, one wouldn't even be able to understand what he had drawn.
More than a dozen people were sitting in front of these forty-nine steles. Each of them was guarding a stele. They were in the process of comprehending. A few of them looked old and unshaven. They were sitting motionless … as if they were dead.
However, there were a few figures who were close to him. Their Divine Wills swept over. One of them was a young man in his twenties. His Divine Wills were as sharp as swords. When it swept over, it was like a long sword in the air.
The dreadful aura swept over Ye Xiwen's body. However, it didn't wait for Ye Xiwen to counterattack. Then, it immediately withdrew its divine sense and returned to its body. It didn't pay any attention to Ye Xiwen. It seemed as if it hadn't seen him.
Ye Xiwen was fine. He had the Heavenly Source Mirror to protect him. So, these imposing auras and divine senses had almost no effect on him. Moreover, he wasn't a clay figurine that could be kneaded by anyone. On the contrary, Zeng Hexu who was standing next to him had received some acne due to the sudden attack of the imposing aura.
"Are you all right?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"I'm all right!" Zeng Hexu shook his head and replied with a smile. His complexion was somewhat pale. He was speaking insincerely. He thought in his heart, [There are some abnormal people in this True Martial Secret Territory. I'm a sage expert. But, I've been seriously injured by someone's imposing aura.]
Of course, Ye Xiwen was even more abnormal. Even a sage expert like him had been injured. However, Ye Xiwen was completely fine. Moreover, he didn't look the least bit reluctant from his appearance. It seemed as if he didn't care at all.
They were indeed abnormal. However, how could he have been recruited into this place when he was still in the semi-sage realm if he wasn't abnormal?
Several divine senses swept over, and issued a 'huh' sound. They were somewhat surprised to see Ye Xiwen's strength. However, they retracted their thoughts in an instant. Their time was precious. So, they couldn't afford to waste it on this kind of thing. They were only trying to confirm whether there was any danger or not.
"Can I only choose one of these inheritances?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"Yes. You can only choose one of these inheritances!" Zeng Hexu replied. "In fact, this university is doing this for your own good. Any one of these inheritances is a supreme inheritance. So, you won't be able to learn anything if you learn too many of them at once!"
Ye Xiwen thought about it. It wasn't that he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to learn anything. After all, he had the help of that mysterious space. So, he wouldn't be able to learn anything. However, that mysterious space also needed to consume 'spirit energy'. He had more than 20 million 'Primary Spirit Dans' now. It seemed like a lot. However, he reckoned that he wouldn't have any 'Primary Spirit Dans' left if he were to learn all of them … even if they were only at the entry level. So, it would be meaningless if he were to learn them all.
It wasn't that the more inheritances and secret techniques one had, the better it would be. One must first consider that they were suitable for oneself. Then, one must try to practice them as deeply as possible.
He had already started to study his own inheritance, his own unique skills and secret skills. Therefore, for him now, the most important thing was not to learn more secret skills. He already had many secret skills. Instead, he had to integrate these secret skills into a system.
He had learned many secret techniques, including 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique', 'Tyrant Body Technique', 'Coiling Dragon Palm', 'Overturning the Sky Seal', and so on. Each of these techniques had their own miraculous effects and might. However, these techniques had originated from various forces. In fact, they had even originated from different clans. So, Ye Xiwen's top priority was to integrate these secret techniques into one system. Sooner or later, he would be able to be reborn, and create his own secret technique.
This was similar to the breakthrough of a semi-sage expert to the sage realm. In fact, it was necessary to link the scattered and disorderly principles together to form a scattered but not chaotic situation.
Ye Xiwen was like this now. He had many secret techniques. However, many of them were from different systems. So, he couldn't coordinate them perfectly. In fact, there would still be some blockages.
Therefore, it didn't matter whether he could learn all of them or not. Considering the situation of the 'Primary Spirit Dans' in his pouch, he had to choose the best ones.
Ye Xiwen began to choose these inheritances after he made up his mind.
