Chapter 99: The Martial Arts Saint's Secret Art! (Requesting recommendations, collections, and rewards!)
We will also go in.
Tian Junhou took a deep breath, gripping his weapon tightly, and swiftly advanced into the passageway.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Qin Feng and Tian Junhou’s figures flashed as they rushed forward into the depths, chasing after the Northern Martial King and the Heavenly Acceptance King.
Yin Pobai and Hou Bai Zhun stood outside the passageway, their expressions hesitant, their hearts filled with fear, not daring to enter further.
They had come from the Imperial City with a group of ten, but now only two remained, as eight had perished.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
As Qin Feng and Tian Junhou pursued the Northern Martial King and the Heavenly Acceptance King, they witnessed the two of them in a disheveled state, desperately dodging long spears hurled from the inner walls.
Countless spears shot through the air with tremendous force, each carrying enough power to injure martial artists at the Human King realm.
“Hmph!”
The Northern Martial King dodged over a dozen spears shooting towards him. Seeing Qin Feng and Tian Junhou approach, he snorted coldly.
This time, he had no intention of leaving first. The treasure trove of the Xuan Tian Sect was far more perilous and terrifying than he had imagined. The treasure was not so easily obtained.
“This Hou thanks you, Northern Martial King.”
“The Northern Martial King is truly benevolent, actually rushing ahead to explore first.”
A cold smile curled on Tian Junhou’s lips as he said this sarcastically.
“This king’s actions cannot be meddled with by your pointing fingers.”
The Northern Martial King’s face turned iron-blue as he snorted coldly.
His gaze carefully scanned the surroundings as he cautiously advanced, extremely prudent.
The Heavenly Acceptance King followed the Northern Martial King’s lead, trailing cautiously behind him.
“Go!”
Qin Feng and Tian Junhou exchanged a glance, then stepped forward, slowly advancing ahead.
Qin Feng, Tian Junhou, the Northern Martial King, and the Heavenly Acceptance King had already traversed more than a mile, passing through the mountain’s midsection, entering beneath the mountain within the earth. They walked on, illuminated by the luminous pearls in their hands.
The air inside was oppressive, making breathing difficult. Fortunately, all of them were at the Human King realm with robust physiques, allowing them to overcome these challenges.
“Eight passages.”
“Sky, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Marsh!”
When Qin Feng, Tian Junhou, the Northern Martial King, and the Heavenly Acceptance King had walked another mile, eight passages appeared before them.
Each of the eight passages was carved with a character.
“Could the treasure of the Xuan Tian Sect lie within one of these passages?”
Qin Feng observed the eight passages through the light emanating from the luminous pearls, peering into them, but could see nothing of their contents.
“They may choose any one to enter.”
“The Xuan Tian Sect’s treasure belongs to whoever obtains it, based on luck.”
Tian Junhou similarly examined the eight passages, found nothing, his eyes gleaming with light as he said in a deep voice.
“Very well!”
“I choose the first one, the Sky passage!”
The Northern Martial King nodded and declared loudly.
He held the Battle Heaven Spear, radiating a dense aura of authority, striding into the Sky passage.
“Thunder!”
Following the Northern Martial King, the Heavenly Acceptance King marched into the Thunder passage.
“Lord Hou, please be cautious.”
Qin Feng reminded Tian Junhou.
“Don’t worry, this Hou has survived countless battles. Although this place is dangerous, it cannot trap me.”
“However, Qin Feng, be careful. Do not meet the Northern Martial King or the Heavenly Acceptance King alone. If you see them, immediately leave.”
Tian Junhou instructed Qin Feng, then gripping his blade, strode into the Earth passage.
“Sky, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Marsh!”
Qin Feng scrutinized the characters on the eight passages, found nothing beneficial, took a deep breath, and entered the Mountain passage.
After Qin Feng entered the passage, about half an hour later, a cold smile appeared on the Northern Martial King’s lips as he emerged from the passage.
“Eight passages, eight possibilities.”
“This king will sit and reap the fisherman’s profit!”
The Northern Martial King had not ventured deep into any passage; he had only entered the Sky one to wait for an hour before exiting quickly.
He quickly reached the outer passage, sat cross-legged, eyes closed, and began meditating quietly.
No matter who obtained the Xuan Tian Sect’s treasure, once they exited the passage, they would pass by it.
At that time, with the strength of a late-stage Human King, the treasure would ultimately belong to him.
“Core Disciple Cultivation Method Pavilion!”
Qin Feng quickly advanced into the depths of the passage, encountering no dangers along the way. Gradually, a stone stele appeared, inscribed with “Core Disciple Cultivation Method Pavilion.”
“Could what is hidden here be the cultivation methods of the Xuan Tian Sect’s core disciples?”
“I wonder if there are any at the Human King realm.”
Qin Feng’s face lit up with joy. He quickened his pace, his figure flashing as he rushed forward.
“Shua!”
When Qin Feng reached the end of the passage, he saw a stone bookshelf at the end, made of stone, holding four books of special material.
Qin Feng’s expression was ecstatic. He quickly approached, saw the four books covered in dust, and exhaled a breath.
“Flying Dragon Sacred Canon.”
“Profound Thunder True Formula.”
“Eight Desolations Treasure Formula.”
“Martial Battle Sacred Formula.”
Qin Feng quickly flipped through the four books. He didn’t know what material they were made from, yet after thousands of years, they remained undamaged.
As he turned the pages, Qin Feng’s face grew increasingly excited, revealing a look of wild joy. All four methods could temper the internal organs and break through to the Human King realm.
“The Flying Dragon Sacred Canon requires soaking the entire body in powerful beast blood, using the power of the blood to temper the internal organs and break through to the Human King realm.”
“The Profound Thunder True Formula relies on the power of thunder and lightning to temper the five viscera and six bowels.”
Qin Feng set aside the Flying Dragon Sacred Canon and the Profound Thunder True Formula, as these two were not suitable for him to cultivate at his current stage to break through to the Human King realm.
“There are still the Eight Desolations Treasure Formula and the Martial Battle Sacred Formula.”
Qin Feng looked at the remaining two books in his hands, deep in thought, unsure which to choose.
“The Martial Battle Sacred Formula!”
In the end, Qin Feng chose to cultivate the Martial Battle Sacred Formula.
“Northern Martial King!”
“When I break through to the Human King realm, I will make you understand what true power is.”
Qin Feng’s eyes gleamed, a fierce smile curling on his lips as he said coldly.
“Boom!”
Qin Feng punched forward, shattering the giant rocks on the surrounding walls and sending them tumbling down, blocking the passage.
“Like this, when I close my door to cultivate, it will be much safer here.”
Qin Feng temporarily blocked the passage. He carefully read the content of the Martial Battle Sacred Formula and memorized it firmly in his heart.
When Qin Feng had completely internalized the content of the Martial Battle Sacred Formula, he opened all the thousand-year spirit medicines he had brought with him.
“Cultivate!”
Qin Feng swallowed a thousand-year spirit medicine. Soon, a huge warm current rose from his abdomen.
As Qin Feng circulated the Martial Battle Sacred Formula, he drove the warm current in his abdomen towards the five viscera and six bowels, tempering them.
“Continue!”
Soon, Qin Feng had absorbed one thousand-year spirit medicine completely, then quickly took another into his mouth.
