The air was dry. Although no one had entered for many years, it was not difficult to breathe.
Chen Zong looked around with the help of the light from the brazier. He was very surprised.
After walking a few meters through the passageway, they entered a stone room. Yes, the surrounding walls were made of dark green, smooth, and large stones.
The stone room was about ten meters wide and five meters tall. Chen Zong's gaze quickly swept across the room and landed in the middle of the room. He was immediately attracted.
It was a dark blue stone table. Behind the table sat a figure in a brown robe.
"Senior …" Chen Zong tried to call out, but there was no response. He walked a few steps closer to take a closer look and was shocked.
The person sitting there was a dried corpse. He did not know how long he had been dead.
Behind the dried corpse, there was a row of bookshelves. Hundreds of books were neatly arranged. In front of the dried corpse, there was also something on the stone table.
Chen Zong was very careful.
After making sure there were no traps, he walked to the stone table and stared at the things on it.
There were five rolls of paper made of animal skin. One of them was spread open. It was full of small black words. Beside it was a writing brush and an ink stone with dried black ink.
"I, Xu Zhengji, am known by the world as the Dragon-slaying Immortal …" Chen Zong looked carefully at the black words. It was a will. The more Chen Zong read, the more shocked and excited he became.
The Dragon-slaying Immortal, Xu Zhengji, was a warrior more powerful than the family elders.
Chen Zong already knew that above the Blood Qi Realm was the Energy Training Realm, and above the Energy Training Realm was the True Martial Realm. This Dragon-subduing Spiritual Master was not only a True Martial Realm expert, but also one who stood at the peak of the True Martial Realm.
"Peak of the Genuine Martial Realm …" Chen Zong was excited.
In the entire Fengwu City, the Training Realm was the strongest. The Genuine Martial Realm was like a legend. He did not expect to meet a Genuine Martial Realm warrior, even though he was already a dried corpse.
"… There are five scrolls on the table. Two of them are the cultivation methods and martial arts that I have practiced all my life. Two of them are the cultivation methods and prescriptions left behind by the owner of this stone room. One of them is a map that I have drawn. Fated person, you can perform the ceremony of becoming my disciple and receive my cultivation methods and martial arts inheritance …"
"Apprenticeship?" Chen Zong thought for a while and rejected the idea.
Xu Zhengji, the Dragon-slaying Sage, was indeed a powerful warrior who stood at the peak of the entire Eastern Continent. If such a powerful warrior wanted to recruit a disciple, as long as the news spread, it would immediately attract countless geniuses, and they would fight to the death.
The reason why Chen Zong didn't want to be his disciple was very clear. Dragon-slaying Immortal didn't practice swordsmanship.
According to the will, Dragon-slaying Immortal was good at palm techniques, but Chen Zong had no intention of abandoning his sword to practice palm techniques. Of course, it was not impossible for him to practice palm techniques at the same time.
"… If you don't want to be my disciple, please bring my cultivation methods and martial arts to the Genuine Martial Main City and give them to the descendants of the Xu Family. As a reward, you can freely read and practice the cultivation methods and martial arts that I have left behind. But remember, other than you and the descendants of the Xu Family, you cannot pass them on …"
There was a lot of content in the will. Chen Zong read it very carefully, and it took him a long time to finish reading it.
"Genuine Martial Main City …"
Chen Zong was no longer the rookie who had just left Little Lake Town, and he knew more about the Eastern Continent.
On the Eastern Continent, there were five main cities. Genuine Martial Main City was the center, and Fengwu City was only one of the satellite cities under Ultimate Martial Main City.
The fact that the Xu Family could take root in Genuine Martial Main City, which was the center of the five main cities, showed that they were extraordinary.
The will also stated that this stone room was not built by Dragon-slaying Immortal, but he found it by chance. Perhaps it was left behind by a predecessor, and there were no cultivation methods or martial arts. There were only more than a hundred miscellaneous books and two volumes of cultivation methods and prescriptions on the bookshelf.
He said that he wanted to break into the Hundred Beasts Mountain and leave the Eastern Continent to go to a wider world according to legend, but he was defeated by a powerful demon beast and was injured. He was chased into Dragon-slaying Mountain and knew that he did not have much time left to return to his family, so he came to this stone room, left behind his cultivation methods and martial arts, and wrote his will.
At the end of the will, the date was 336 years, which meant that Dragon-slaying Immortal had been dead for 60 years. Chen Zong was the only fated person in these 60 years.
"My luck is not bad," Chen Zong said to himself with a smile. He picked up the first volume of animal parchment and opened it to read carefully.
There were four cultivation methods in this volume.
The Dragon-slaying Incantation was suitable for Blood Qi refinement. No matter who practiced it, they could at least refine their Blood Qi four times.
The Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation was suitable for the Qi and Blood Realm. There were five levels in total. When one reached the fourth level, they could condense a Dragon-slaying Incantation in their body.
The Great Dragon-slaying Incantation was suitable for the Qi Refining Realm. It was known for its ferocity and power.
The Great Dragon-slaying Incantation was suitable for the True Force Realm. It was ferocious and domineering, capable of slaying dragons and tigers.
Chen Zong could understand the content of Dragon-slaying Incantation, but he could not understand the Great Dragon-slaying Incantation and Great Dragon-slaying Incantation. The mysteries of the Earth Level and Heaven Level cultivation methods were far beyond his current cultivation level and martial arts accumulation.
However, this did not stop Chen Zong from being excited.
"It is indeed powerful. If I did not already have the True-Sword Skill, I would have definitely practiced this Dragon-slaying Incantation," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Obviously, the True-Sword Skill was better than the Dragon-slaying Incantation.
However, the Dragon-slaying Incantation had one advantage, which was that it had a complete continuation of the cultivation method in the same vein. Only when the cultivation method was in the same vein could the power cultivated be purer.
He rolled up the Incantation Incantation Incantation and unfolded another one. This one was a martial art.
The Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation was a Foundation Establishment Martial Art. It had eight forms, the same as the True-Sword Eight Forms. When it was mastered, it could exercise eighty percent of the body, which was the same as the True-Sword Eight Forms. Chen Zong was amazed.
Until now, he had never seen a Foundation Establishment Martial Art that was comparable to the True-Sword Eight Forms.
The forms of the Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation were ferocious and powerful, capable of splitting stones. Chen Zong carefully studied them.
In the end, Chen Zong came to a conclusion. Although the Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation was comparable to the True-Sword Eight Forms, its power was still inferior to the True-Sword Eight Forms. Even if the Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation was cultivated to the Imperceptible Realm, the most powerful force it could unleash was only comparable to the first stage of the Inferior Human Rank Martial Art. There was still a significant gap between it and the strongest move of the True-Sword Eight Forms.
This made Chen Zong even more curious about the True-Sword Eight Forms. Where did it come from?
Next, it was the Superior Human Rank Martial Art, the Great Dragon-slaying Incantation.
The cultivation of the Great Dragon-slaying Incantation required the Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation as the foundation. There were three stages in total. Its power was ferocious and unparalleled. It was many times more powerful than the Minor Dragon-slaying Incantation.
"How terrifying!" Chen Zong gasped.
There was no Superior Human Rank Martial Art or Martial Art in the entire Fengwu City.
Next, it was the third Martial Art, the Earth Rank Upper Dragon-slaying Incantation. Finally, the fourth Martial Art, the Heaven Rank Medium Dragon-slaying Incantation.
Each of them used the previous one as their foundation, and each of them was stronger and more domineering than the previous one.
Moreover, only by using the cultivation method of the Dragon Subduing Lineage to drive the martial arts of the Dragon Subduing Lineage could its power be unleashed to the extreme. Of course, starting from the Great Dragon Subduing Hand, if there was no cultivation method of the Dragon Subduing Lineage to drive it, not only would its power be greatly reduced, it would even harm the body.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was fond of the sword and sword techniques, his will would have been shaken and he would have abandoned the sword to accept the inheritance of the Dragon Subduing Technique.
Just think about it. With such a complete martial arts inheritance, as long as one was talented enough and worked hard enough, it was almost certain that one could step into the True Martial Realm in the future. There was even a chance that one could step into the peak of the True Martial Realm and become a super powerhouse standing at the peak of the Eastern Continent.
However, there was no doubt that it was another Immortal Dragon Slayer.
"Unfortunately, my ambition lies elsewhere. I want to use the sword in my hand to carve out a new path," Chen Zong said to himself.
Chen Zong had no idea where the mysterious sword tip came from, but he felt that it was definitely more precious than the inheritance of Dragon-slaying Immortal.
Putting aside his personal preference, Chen Zong naturally chose the mysterious sword tip.
Moreover, Chen Zong preferred to carve out his own path. This was a kind of desire and yearning. Perhaps in the end, his achievements would not be as great as that of Dragon-slaying Immortal, but at least he would not regret it.
"I digress. Let's take a look at the other three scrolls." Chen Zong shook his head and rolled up the martial arts hide paper again. He picked up the third scroll and unfolded it.
It was a prescription scroll.
Ice and Fire Healing Ointment!
Effect: Refine skin membrane …
Ingredients: Ground Cold Grass, Fire Rock Flower, Seven Day White Orchid, Frost Python Blood Essence, Flaming Tiger Blood Essence …
Refining method …
Usage method …
The first prescription, from the effects to the ingredients to the refining method and usage method, was very detailed. There was no need to think about it at first glance.
Tiger Leopard Tendons Strengthening Pill!
Effect: Strengthens tendons and meridians …
Ingredients: Fierce Blood Tiger Bone Glue, Dark Cloud Leopard Bone Glue, Tendon-Breaking Grass …
Refining method …
Usage method …
Thunder Bone-Forging Pill!
Effect: Refine bones …
Ingredients: Thunder Grass, Bone Growing Dragon Vine, Silver Snake Vine …
Refining method …
Usage method …
There were three kinds of prescription scrolls in total, and they were very detailed.
"The higher the level of the True Sword Skill, the sharper the power of Qi and blood. The more I practice, the more I need a strong enough body to support it. According to my estimation, with my current body strength, the third level is enough to make me feel pain, and the fourth level will probably tear my body apart." Chen Zong's eyes shone with a sharp light.
Many powerful skills often had higher requirements. After all, the strong power first acted on the user, and the user's body had to bear it.
For example, Dragon-slaying Immortal's Dragon-slaying Art. Without a strong enough body, how could one bear the fierce power?
"These three prescriptions refine skin membrane, strengthen tendons and veins, and refine bones. They strengthen the body from the root, and make it have a higher endurance. This is exactly what I need." Chen Zong was secretly delighted.
Compared with the skills and martial arts of Dragon-slaying Immortal, Chen Zong felt that these three prescriptions were more valuable.
Of course, this was relative.
Chen Zong rolled up the prescriptions and put them down. He picked up the fourth scroll and unfolded it.
Body-Forging Art!
It was a very straightforward and easy to remember name, but it instantly attracted Chen Zong's great interest.
Body-Forging Art, as the name suggested, was a skill to refine the body. It was easy to understand.
Starting from the first word of the text, Chen Zong carefully read on. As he read on, he couldn't help but become excited. This Body Tempering Technique was actually a Cultivation Technique that complemented the three prescriptions. In other words, the existence of the three prescriptions was directly related to this Body Tempering Technique.
The body-forging Art was divided into four levels, and there was no indication of its level.
The first level, Copper Skin, as the name suggested, would refine the skin membrane to the extreme, making it as hard as bronze.
The second level, Steel Bar, would refine the tendons and veins to be as tough as steel.
The third level, Iron Bone, would refine the bones to be as hard as steel.
