"Infinite Scripture!"
That was the name of the mysterious cultivation technique that Fang Che had acquired.
He turned the first page.
"Cultivation practice is but a beginning; the path of the strong knows no end; taking you through the threshold, how far can you venture? The vast cosmos, I await on this side."
On the title page, there was actually such a sentence. It was neither prose nor plain.
Fang Che furrowed his brows.
After a while, Fang Zhan Yan smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, "One may not necessarily be inferior to you!"
He flipped the page.
"Where skill reaches extremes, the technique profound, mortal realms, a playground for taking and seeking at will; countless stars, only seen as inadequate. If the heart is boundless, so will be the path; this is the Infinite!"
Then came the mnemonic of the technique.
After reading through the first section, Fang Che knew that this cultivation technique was a thousand times stronger than any he learned in his previous life!
As for the techniques from his former life… it was better left unmentioned.
What else was there to say? Practice!
Fang Che quickly started to meditate and cultivate.
The spiritual power within his body activated instantly, rigidly following the Infinite Scripture's pathway, and in a flash, his whole body heated up tremendously, countless Yang attribute spiritual energy particles entering his body.
He immediately felt like his head was smoking.
The speed of absorbing spiritual power startled Fang Che.
It was too fast.
After the first circulation…
He just felt his body shudder.
Fang Che couldn't help but open his eyes in amazement.
Had he just broken through the first level barrier from Martial Disciple to Samurai that easily?
Although reborn with countless cultivation experiences, and the progression from Martial Disciple to Samurai being just the most rudimentary cultivation barrier, such an easy breakthrough still stunned Fang Che.
Was this Infinite Scripture… really that miraculous?
He then frowned and pondered.
Since he had broken through…
He picked up the Qi Blood Pill given by Big Cousin and swallowed a bottle in one gulp.
He began practicing.
A cluster of fiery energy gathered again in the small courtyard.
After a while…
"Phew…"
"Samurai, Second Grade."
Fang Che stabilized his realm and opened his eyes.
"Big Cousin really is a straightforward man."
What surprised him the most was that once the Infinite Scripture was in operation, the Five Spirits Gu in the Dantian was immediately restrained!
Fang Che had a feeling: if he wanted, he could gradually refine the Five Spirits Gu at any time.
Part of the Dan Tian Spiritual Power had already transformed into Infinite True Spirit. The Five Spirits Gu shrank in the Dantian, trembling.
It clearly felt that this spiritual power could refine it.
Fang Che, feeling the power, immediately pulled back the spiritual energy, cherishing and soothing the Five Spirits Gu within his body.
This was a treasure infiltrating the enemy's lines.
It couldn't die.
However, wasn't it said that no one could refine the Five Spirits Gu? My Infinite Scripture could actually refine it effortlessly?!
...
Meanwhile, at another location.
Su Family.
Following Su Yue's return with the news, the family immediately began an urgent meeting.
Two topics were discussed at the meeting: Is this news real or fake?
If real, who should go?
After discussions, the conclusion came quickly: it must be true.
Because the Absolute Sword Monarch was indeed a real existence in the past, rumored to have perished in the Southeast.
"That boy knew nothing and heard this while unconscious. I bet it was Fang Wendin, that old fellow, and his son Fang Zhenghang talking. No one else was around, so they spoke freely without worry, never expecting that the guy would wake up then."
One elder from the Su Family, with white beard and eyes full of wisdom, had an air of confidence as if he perceived everything.
"Even for myself, it would have been hard to anticipate such an event. This smoke screen is precisely what the Fang Family did on purpose. Because the original message came too easily... it didn't seem like any secret."
"Indeed."
Another elder said, "Moreover, Yue'er and Fang Che have developed a firm friendship over the years; that boy listens to Yue'er and would never lie."
"Indeed, ha-ha-ha, and that is true, that silly lad is quite naive."
"Right, especially since this period is precisely when the boy was nearly beaten to death by his close cousin. It is even less likely for him to lie."
"So, this matter regarding the Absolute Sword Monarch must be true."
"Who could have thought that the old fox from the Fang Family was so cunning, deceiving everyone with false news for so many years!"
"This seems to be the fateful net of heaven with its vast mesh; even this old bastard might not have dreamt that the news would leak like this! Ha-ha-ha…"
Amidst laughter.
Family Head Su Yunhe concluded, "Since it's confirmed, we must act immediately, without delay. The sooner we secure it, the better. This time, who should go?"
The leading elder with white beard frowned and spoke gravely, "It's worth noting that the Fang Family has also searched more than once and never succeeded. Firstly, they might not have searched the right place. Secondly, they lacked the power. Aren't there countless poisonous creatures, including Grandmaster-level venomous snakes? The Fang Family isn't capable of dealing with this."
"The Fang Family lacks the strength and also cannot afford to make it public. You all know, no family would seek external help in such matters. Apart from our own bloodline, who would trust outsiders?"
Everyone nodded and laughed.
Indeed, how could they ask for help?
Help from someone weaker would be useless, while help from someone stronger... wouldn't that be too dangerous? Almost like digging one's own grave—who could resist the temptation of such treasures or legacies?
"Given this, the people from our family who go must not be few and must be highly capable!"
"For safety, it would be better if everyone goes."
"Everyone?"
