Wang Chong's eyes instantly focused on the golden compass on the man's back, and he felt an unprecedented shock.
Two hundred years ago, the Origin Immortal Art had a successor, but these people had been dead for a very long time and had long since been forgotten. The Yin Yang Wuji insignia on their robes was the best proof.
In his last life, Wang Chong had heard of the might of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art. The title of number one in the world had an irresistible allure to all martial artists.
But Wang Chong had never imagined that his first time seeing the true Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art would be under such circumstances.
Although the Four Ends Martial Lord's Blazing Sun Divine Art was formidable, it could not compare to this supreme art.
As Wang Chong watched, the golden compass slowly vanished into the air. The successor of the Origin Immortal Art turned his eyes around, but then, as if he couldn't see Wang Chong, he slowly turned around and walked deeper into the cave, vanishing into the smoke.
After a long while, Wang Chong stretched his body and carefully backed away.
Each of the successors of the Origin Immortal Art was an unparalleled genius, extremely powerful. Even peak Imperial Great Generals would find themselves in great danger.
With a tiger in front and a wolf in back, Wang Chong did not dare to be careless.
Whoosh!
As Wang Chong backed away, he heard the clatter of a stone falling, and then a stalwart figure emerged from the smoke in a somewhat panicked and sorry state. He stopped at Wang Chong's side.
"Jili Laozu, what's going on here?"
Wang Chong asked.
Although the two were competitors, from the Lone Silence Ancestor's warning, he could tell that there was no malice. Moreover, the two of them had worked together before, even if it was just an empty show of civility.
"Shh! Don't be so loud! "
Jili Laozu put a finger to his lips. He seemed to be in a state of shock, as if he had just suffered a great shock.
Wang Chong recalled and nodded, knowing that he was worried about the living dead just now.
"Ancestor, what happened just now? Why did the Four Ends Martial Lord die here? And why are you in the cave? "
Wang Chong said. He had too many questions in his mind.
"It's a long story, but the Four Ends Martial Lord was fated to do so. No one had expected the successor of the Origin Immortal Art to appear in this underground palace. In a moment of carelessness, the Four Ends Martial Lord exchanged a few palm strikes with him. His meridians were shattered, and he died a violent death. The Origin Immortal Art, the Origin Immortal Art … truly deserves to be called number one in the world. "
When Jili Laozu reached the end of his speech, he muttered to himself in awe and shock.
Rather than saying that he had been shocked, Wang Chong felt that he was more in awe and envy of the Origin Immortal Art's invincible and overwhelming power.
"Several hundred years ago, before the Origin Immortal Art was lost, there were some secret rumors in the martial arts world. It was said that every generation's successor of the Origin Immortal Art would eventually return to the Origin Immortal Cave and become its protector. When I was in Youzhou in the northeast and came across this secret information, I didn't understand what it meant when I read about it in those ancient records, but now I understand!
"The legend is completely true, and all of it is true. The successor of the Origin Immortal Art is actually not destroyed even after death and can continue to move about underground, becoming the protector of the treasury. If my guess is correct, this should be the final trial of the Origin Immortal Art. As long as one can pass this trial, one can truly enter the Origin Immortal Treasury and obtain that supreme art."
As Jili Laozu spoke, his eyes were suffused with yearning and unease.
"The people of the world only know that the Origin Immortal Art has been lost for several hundred years, but no one knows that the Origin Immortal Art has always been passed down through generations. Every several hundred years, there will be a new successor, and there have been at least six such successors. In other words, besides the one we just saw, there are probably five other powerful successors of the Origin Immortal Art in this underground world."
"The Origin Immortal Lord made them the final trial. This is an insurmountable chasm, and it won't be easy to pass."
As he spoke, Jili Laozu's voice was tinged with irrepressible nervousness and excitement.
The first successor of the Origin Immortal Lord had defeated the Four Ends Martial Lord in just a few palms, and not even Jili Laozu could predict how powerful the remaining successors would be. But the more dangerous it was, the closer he was to success.
But if he wanted to obtain the world's number one art, it would be very difficult for him to do so alone.
Wang Chong said nothing. Jili Laozu's words had left even him stunned.
"Sixth generation successor? Normally, the deeper one goes, the more traps there are, and the more dangerous it is. Based on this pattern, doesn't that mean that there are five even more formidable successors? Even the weakest one was able to kill the Four Ends Martial Lord, so just how terrifying was the strongest? With the strength of these six successors, just who in the world could get past them?
Wang Chong muttered to himself, his straight brows creasing.
Even before entering the passageway, Wang Chong could already feel an immense pressure weighing down on him. And this was not the only thing that worried him. The collapsed passage could not stop those people, and they would soon arrive.
As soon as Wang Chong entered the cave, he realized that there was no way out other than the passage before him.
His Psychic Energy couldn't find any other way out other than the caves he had come from.
If he retreated into another cave, the Yellow Scarf Warrior would be throwing himself into a trap.
For a moment, Wang Chong was caught between a rock and a hard place.
What do I do, what do I do? I have two minutes at most. I have to think of something!
Wang Chong's face was calm, but he couldn't help but begin to worry. The ticking of the clock seemed to be constantly ringing in his ears.
In that exchange just now, Wang Chong understood that he was no match for the Origin Immortal successor.
And the strength of the man with the three-eyed deer mask was probably even more unfathomable.
"Buzz!"
But when he glanced at Jili Laozu, Wang Chong couldn't help but ask, "Right.
Ancestor, how did you and the Four Ends Martial Lord get here? Did you not encounter any Nightmare Beasts or Darkshadow Spiders on the way? "
Wang Chong had this question in his mind. He had thought that he had moved very quickly on the way here. It had taken him a great deal of effort to dismantle all sorts of mechanisms and traps, and to finally reach this place.
But it seemed that the Four Ends Martial Lord and Jili Laozu had not encountered any Darkshadow Spiders or Nightmare Beasts, and they had arrived even faster than him.
This was simply inconceivable!
"This …"
Jili Laozu was taken aback. He raised his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had clearly not expected Wang Chong to ask this question. He hesitated for a moment.
"If you had encountered me in any other place, I would never have told you. But now that we're at the final juncture, there's no harm in telling you. "
"The caves here extend in all directions, so there's naturally more than one way in. And as a titan of the martial arts world, who doesn't have a few special tricks up their sleeves? For example, Song Yuanyi's mastery of the Eternal Spring Mantra allows him to easily trigger the traps along the way, or he can manipulate the vines and vegetation to draw away the beasts. He can even grow vines from the bodies of the beasts and tie them up. I don't have as many tricks as Alliance Lord Song, but finding one or two underground rivers isn't a problem. "
"Underground rivers?"
Wang Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Heh, no matter how deep you go, there's always water. It might be difficult for you to sense it, but for me, I can already tell where it is while still on the surface. As long as I jump into the river and follow the tunnels, I can easily bypass the majority of the traps left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord. "
Jili Laozu smiled. As he spoke, he stroked his beard. Evidently, he was quite pleased with his methods.
After all, this was a unique trick of his.
"So that's how it is …"
Wang Chong shook his head and mentally sighed.
He had finally experienced the extraordinary abilities of these titans of the martial arts world. He had heard that Jili Laozu could control water, and since he had been able to use the underground rivers to reach this place, the others had to have their own methods as well.
"The Origin Immortal Lord was a legendary figure from one thousand years ago. How could the traps left behind by such a person be so easy to deal with? It's practically impossible to force your way through every trap, and no one would do such a thing."
The more Jili Laozu spoke, the slower his voice became. A moment later, he seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at Wang Chong.
"That can't be, right?"
Wang Chong was clearly not one to speak without reason. There had to be a reason for his question. Jili Laozu believed that Wang Chong, like him, had managed to avoid the traps in order to reach this place so quickly. But Wang Chong's reaction showed that this was not the case at all.
"It seems like I'm lacking in luck."
Wang Chong bitterly smiled.
Everyone's encounters were different. From the looks of it, he had chosen the most difficult path.
“！！！”
In the end, Jili Laozu was rendered speechless.
