"Eighteen levels, there are actually eighteen levels … The ninth level of the Secret to Long Life is already a seventh level cultivation technique, then the eighteenth level …" Chen Hao took a deep breath. He faintly felt that this cultivation technique seemed to have exceeded the scope of a martial artist, just like ancient martial arts and Taoist cultivation techniques. They were no longer on the same level. However, the Secret to Long Life linked these two completely different levels together. It was a set of cultivation techniques that could be used as a main cultivation technique after advancing from Martial Disciple to Martial God!
How could the Dongfang Clan have the second half of the Secret to Long Life?
Where did they come from?
Why did Elder Xiao only know the first nine levels?
Questions appeared in Chen Hao's mind one after another. This remnant scroll seemed to have been divided into two after two people fought over it. The eighth and ninth levels only had the beginning numbers, but the true cultivation technique had been broken. Only after the tenth level did it become complete. What did this mean?
Could it be that Elder Xiao had the first nine levels of the scroll?
Elder Xiao had once told Chen Hao that the Secret to Long Life was a seventh level cultivation technique with a total of nine levels. The cultivation technique for the ninth level had also been passed on to Chen Hao. At this moment, Chen Hao verified the words of the eighth and ninth level of the scroll. This made Chen Hao realize that the eighth and ninth level that Elder Xiao passed on to him didn't have any problems. However, the first few words were similar in meaning, but the words were different. This proved that Elder Xiao had only inferred the first few words based on the contents of the eighth and ninth level.
…
Just as Chen Hao was about to continue reading, there was movement outside the door. Chen Hao hurriedly put away the remnant scroll.
Then Xiao Mei opened the door and saw Chen Hao sitting on the bed. She said, "You're awake?"
"Yes, I just woke up. Sister Mei, thank you. Otherwise, I would have to sleep on the floor for the whole night … "Chen Hao said.
"Then hurry up and wash up. We're about to leave … Junior Brother, be careful when you cultivate in the future. Don't be too tired …" Xiao Mei said.
"Okay!"
…
He returned to the Xiao Clan and stayed for nearly a month. During this month, he should have accompanied his family and relaxed. After all, he didn't know when he would return.
However, during this one month, Chen Hao did not relax at all. His family had been taken to the Xiao Family by Lord Xiao. His younger brother and sister had started to attend classes in the Xiao Family's school. Buttface had become a disciple of the Xiao Family. His family had also returned to Taiping Town. Moreover, because of him, they would definitely not suffer any grievances in the Xiao Clan. This should be something to be happy about.
However, after Chen Hao finished reading the Secret Art of Long Life's remnant scroll, he had a lot on his mind, especially after confirming it with Old Man Xiao and calling Xiao Ji Yan over to ask her about it face to face. Chen Hao's brows never relaxed …
It was as if there was a thorn in his back and a fishbone in his throat!
Based on Chen Hao's understanding of Xiao Jihan, he definitely did not believe that Xiao Jihan would commit suicide. However, at that time, Xiao Jihan did seem to have lost his humanity, not even sparing his own father's corpse …
When Xiao Jihan stabbed his finger into his throat, Chen Hao's sharp senses had indeed sensed Xiao Jihan's life force rapidly fading away …
Although it was hard to believe, Xiao Jihan was indeed dead.
Chen Hao could not believe his own senses, but at that time, Li Ran, the Emperor of Will, and the chairman of the Will Guild, the super powerhouse, if Xiao Jihan had not really committed suicide, how could he have escaped their eyes?
But now …
If Chen Hao's guess was correct, Xiao Jihan was not only not dead, but had also mastered the complete Secret Art of Long Life. Moreover, he had been cultivating the Secret Art of Long Life from the beginning to the end!
However, he had only mastered the first three stages. As for the fourth to ninth stages, he had learned them from Xiao Ji Yan, who was not scheming at all!
The reason why Xiao Jihan was able to hide from everyone's eyes and senses was because he had cultivated the 'Secret of Longevity' to the fifth level. He was able to execute one of the cultivation techniques recorded in the remnant scroll, the 'Art of Solitude', which could only be executed with the 'Secret of Longevity' as the foundation!
Using the Secret Art of Long Life's primordial energy to activate the Secret Art of Long Life, not only would one's heartbeat and breathing stop, they would enter a state of suspended animation. Even the chairman of the Will Guild, Fang Yuan, was deceived … one could imagine how mystical this cultivation method was …
The reason why Chen Hao was so sure was because he had obtained Old Man Xiao's secret from back then.
…
Dong Fang Wang Cai, Dong Fang Han. Their surnames were Dong Fang, Dong Fang was Zhen. Zhen should be their real surname.
Old Man Xiao was adopted by a lone cultivator expert when he was young. The expert also adopted another person called Zhen Hu.
The enemy who had almost forced Old Man Xiao to his death was his senior brother, Zhen Hu!
Their master had imparted the Secret Art of Long Life to them, but he had only taught them the third stage. The reason for this was because their master was worried that the two of them would be too arrogant and bite off more than they could chew, fearing that their foundations were not solid enough and would blindly cultivate beyond their realms.
Back then, Old Man Xiao did not mind, but Zhen Hu thought his master was intentionally hiding something and harbored hatred in his heart.
Once, their master went out to travel and said he would return in half a month, but after waiting for half a year, their master still did not return. Zhen Hu could not endure it and sneaked into their master's cultivation room, coincidentally being discovered by Old Man Xiao. At that time, Zhen Hu had already found the handkerchief that recorded their master's secret art. Old Man Xiao's cultivation was not as high as Zhen Hu's, he suddenly appeared and attacked Zhen Hu, catching him off guard and only managed to tear off a small portion of the handkerchief. Zhen Hu was furious, how could he still care about their relationship?
Old Man Xiao could only escape. Originally, Zhen Hu had chased him all the way to the peak of Heavenly Road and forced him into a corner. But Old Man Xiao did not want his master's secret art to be easily obtained by the unscrupulous Zhen Hu, so he could not bear the torture and resolutely jumped off a bottomless cliff …
But Old Man Xiao did not expect himself to be saved from death's door and his cultivation to increase greatly. But he could not find Zhen Hu, and when he returned to his master's secret area, what made him even more miserable was that he had already turned into ashes. Old Man Xiao waited there for an entire year, but there was still no news from his master, so he could only leave.
Thus, the current Xiao clan was formed.
…
"Rest assured, go! If it is really as you guessed, he will not dare to return for several years … Furthermore, Old Man already has the latter half of the secret art. Even if he comes, what can he do? "
Old Man Xiao said confidently the night before Chen Hao left. The main reason why he, a rank seven Martial Emperor, was limited to his current cultivation was because the 'Longevity Secret Art' was incomplete. Now that he had obtained the latter nine layers, as well as the several secret skills that could only be used with the 'Longevity Secret Art', Old Man Xiao's cultivation would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!
This was also the only thing that Chen Hao could be comforted about …
As for Xiao Jiyan foolishly being duped by Xiao Jihan into obtaining the first nine layers of the 'Longevity Secret Art', she could only let it go. How could he blame an ignorant little girl for that?
Similarly, during this month, what puzzled Chen Hao the most was that his crippled father actually gave him a small knife. The knife was only the length of five fingers. Without any explanation, his father instructed him to carve wood with the knife. What shocked Chen Hao even more was that his father did not allow him to use any Origin Power, nor did he allow him to use brute force. Instead, he taught him all kinds of carving techniques, as well as the mental state required for each technique. For an entire month, his father would watch him carve wood for two hours every night.
Chen Hao did not ask. However, he was certain that his father was definitely not an ordinary person. At the very least, he was definitely not an ordinary person in the past!
