Immortal God of War
Qin Feiyang quietly watched Elder Wang, without interrupting.
"When the first tower master passed away years ago, he specially left behind the Soul Refining Technique, hoping that someone in later generations would be able to comprehend it."
"But he didn’t consider that such a profound Divine Art was beyond the understanding of us ordinary people."
After a long while, Elder Wang withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
This statement was indeed quite fitting.
"The second general tower master, the third general tower master, and even the current tower master have all tried to comprehend the Soul Refining Technique, but none succeeded."
"I tried it myself, but it is too esoteric; I couldn’t grasp the true essence of it."
"Gradually, we began to give up."
"However, the Soul Refining Technique, a divine art created by the first tower master, is the symbol and spiritual pillar of our Elixir Tower. It must not be lost to time, right?"
"So, after deliberation, we decided to place this hope on the shoulders of the younger generation like yourselves."
"But if the complete Soul Refining Technique were disclosed, it would certainly cause a commotion."
"It might even trigger a bloody turmoil."
"Thus, to prevent such occurrences, we divided the complete Soul Refining Technique into ten parts and placed them on each layer of the martial arts treasury."
"And we concealed all information about the Soul Refining Technique, claiming it was merely a no-grade battle technique."
"The jade slip you obtained is only the first part."
Elder Wang explained.
"So that’s the case."
Qin Feiyang suddenly understood, and then frowned, "Have you considered that even if the complete Soul Refining Technique is difficult to comprehend, wouldn’t it be even harder to understand if split?"
"Of course we have considered it."
"However, the first part is the simplest."
"If you can’t comprehend the simplest one, how could you tackle the later sections? Wouldn’t you agree?"
Elder Wang laughed.
"That makes sense."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"But in the end, we still underestimated the Soul Refining Technique."
"Over the years, many young individuals, including some exceptional talents, have obtained the first part, but none could comprehend it."
"And you, if it weren’t for acquiring the first tower master’s legacy, you probably couldn’t have comprehended it either."
Elder Wang said.
Qin Feiyang did not deny it.
Divine arts and battle techniques are fundamentally on different levels.
To comprehend a Divine Art with one’s own abilities, one must at least first become a deity.
Qin Feiyang asked, "What legacy did the previous general tower master acquire?"
Elder Wang shook his head, "She never mentioned it to anyone, so even I don’t know."
"Earlier, I heard Young Master Hao mention that the first tower master’s legacy includes the opportunity to become a god. Is that true?"
Qin Feiyang asked again.
"It is true."
Elder Wang nodded, smiling, "Although you haven’t obtained the opportunity to become a god, gaining the insights of the Soul Refining Technique counts as a great fortune."
After a pause, Elder Wang continued, "Moreover, regardless of what legacy one receives, anyone who obtains the first tower master’s legacy will be the successor of the general tower master."
"Successor?"
Qin Feiyang looked surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes."
"This is the last wish of the first tower master, and no one can defy it."
Elder Wang nodded.
"So, does this mean I’m the next general tower master?"
Qin Feiyang was somewhat stunned.
In fact, at the place of the legacy, the current tower master had told Young Master Hao about this matter, but because it was communicated secretly, Qin Feiyang didn’t hear it.
"Don’t celebrate too early."
"Though you are temporarily designated as the next general tower master, you need to survive to claim it."
"So, in whatever you do in the future, you must be cautious."
Elder Wang advised with deep implication.
"I understand."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Honestly, he had no interest in the position of general tower master.
However, this does draw him closer to the current tower master.
After all, now, he is not only the direct disciple of the tower master but also the successor of the tower master.
This would undoubtedly be more advantageous in the future when vying for the Heavenly Aura Flame and the Five-Colored Crystal Stone.
"Elder Wang, since this disciple has obtained the first tower master’s legacy, can the remaining nine parts of the Soul Refining Technique be given to this disciple?"
Qin Feiyang asked, his eyes full of eagerness.
"Well..."
Elder Wang hesitated, then said, "Logically, having received his legacy also counts as receiving his approval, and you should indeed be given them. However, a few days ago, the tower master instructed that the remaining nine parts must be found by yourself."
"Found by myself?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
Elder Wang smiled, "Don’t be discontented; I can see that the tower master is doing this entirely for your benefit."
"For my benefit?"
Qin Feiyang frowned deeper.
Because he really couldn’t see how this was for his benefit.
Seeing this.
Elder Wang also raised his eyebrows, and said, "Let me ask you, now, when you enter the martial arts treasury, what do you need?"
"Contribution Value."
Qin Feiyang responded without hesitation.
"And where does the Contribution Value come from?"
Elder Wang asked again.
"Capturing various fierce beasts alive."
Qin Feiyang answered.
"Isn’t that right!"
"Capturing fierce beasts alive is much more difficult than killing them, and without certain means, it can’t be done."
"Therefore, the tower master is also giving you a test and training opportunity by doing this."
Elder Wang said.
"Alright, I accept."
Qin Feiyang lowered his head helplessly.
This was the tower master’s order, and he had no choice but to accept it!
Seeing Qin Feiyang dejectedly hanging his head, Elder Wang couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, "How about this, I’ll guide you on a path, ensuring you obtain all the parts of the Soul Refining Technique in the fastest time."
"Please tell me, Elder."
Qin Feiyang’s spirit lifted, raising his head with expectation as he looked at Elder Wang.
"When we split the Soul Refining Technique back then to facilitate finding it, I specifically left a trace of aura in the ten jade slips."
"The aura is very weak, others cannot sense it, but ten jade slips can sense each other."
"When you reach the nine layers above, as long as you take out the jade slip you got on the first layer, it will immediately help you find the other nine jade slips."
Elder Wang laughed.
Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up.
It’s important to know.
There are countless jade slips on each level of the martial arts treasury, and they are all stored in identical stone boxes without any markings.
If he had to find them on his own, who knows how many years it would take to find all the jade slips?
This undoubtedly saved him a lot of time, and he bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Elder Wang."
"It’s nothing."
Elder Wang smiled and said, "I intended to chat with you a bit more, but seeing how eager you are, I won’t take up more of your time."
"Then, disciple will take his leave."
Qin Feiyang cupped his hands.
"Alright."
Elder Wang nodded and suddenly said, "Let me give you a set of coordinates. The beasts there are mostly between one-star War Ancestor and five-star War Saint, which won’t pose a fatal threat to you."
After saying this, Elder Wang gave the coordinates to Qin Feiyang.
"Thank you, Elder Wang."
After memorizing the coordinates, Qin Feiyang thanked him again, then opened the teleportation gate and walked in without looking back.
Not long after the teleportation gate disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was the black-clothed youth who had entered the martial arts treasury earlier, holding a simple and unadorned stone box.
As soon as the black-clothed youth appeared, he immediately opened the stone box, took out a jade slip from inside, examined it carefully, and gradually showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
"Sigh!"
"Why is it so hard to find a perfect battle art?"
Then.
The black-clothed youth sighed, walked up to Elder Wang, and handed the jade slip and stone box to him.
"If it were easy to obtain, it wouldn’t be called a perfect battle art."
Elder Wang accepted the jade slip and stone box, smiling lightly.
Although there was a smile on his old face, he did not appear as amiable as he did when facing Qin Feiyang.
The black-clothed youth smiled wryly and handed over his Identity Token to Elder Wang.
There is a rule in the martial arts treasury: if a disciple of the General Tower is dissatisfied with the battle art they obtained, they can return it to the treasury, thus getting back one-tenth of their Contribution Value.
Elder Wang grasped the Identity Token, waved his hand, a streak of light flew into the token, and then returned it to the black-clothed youth.
Once the black-clothed youth put away the Identity Token, he glanced around suspiciously and asked, "Where is Ancestor Mu?"
"He went to the White Tiger Mountain Range to earn Contribution Value."
Elder Wang smiled lightly, then sat cross-legged in front of the tower gate, closing his eyes to rest.
"White Tiger Mountain Range..."
The black-clothed youth’s eyes flashed, opened a teleportation gate, and disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile.
White Tiger Mountain Range!
This vast mountain range lies to the west of the Central Divine Nation, five or six thousand miles away from the Divine City.
In the mountains, ancient trees reach the sky, peaks and ridges stand one after another.
Qin Feiyang stood in the air above a giant peak, scanning the view below with his head lowered.
The forest was dense below, with vines like horned dragons.
In the forest, there were countless beast auras, but the strongest was only a five-star War Ancestor, which wasn’t of much value.
After observing for a while, Qin Feiyang turned into a stream of light and flew towards the depths of the mountain range.
As he went deeper, the beasts’ auras grew stronger.
After flying about five or six hundred miles, Qin Feiyang could sense the aura of a Nine-Star War Ancestor beast.
But now, a Nine-Star War Ancestor beast no longer interested him.
He continued forward.
Along the way, he also encountered some herbs and picked them casually.
Roar!
Rumbling!
Suddenly.
From the left came faint beast roars and the sound of mountains collapsing.
"Huh?"
Qin Feiyang paused in the void, looked toward the direction of the sound, and vaguely saw the mountains there crazily collapsing.
Whoosh!
He spun in mid-air and dashed over like a lightning bolt.
After about a hundred breaths.
Qin Feiyang landed at the peak of a mountain, walked to the edge of the cliff, and scanned the front.
Soon.
His gaze locked onto a spot directly ahead.
In the distance, a woman in white fought fiercely with a beast.
Frightening auras swept in all directions, the mountains were shattered, the ground collapsed, and streams of lava erupted from the ground, coloring half of the sky.
The woman in white faced away from Qin Feiyang, making it impossible to see her face, but her figure was graceful, with a slender waist.
Her cultivation was also impressive, an Eight-Star War Ancestor.
However, that back view gave Qin Feiyang an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The beast was a Fire Lizard.
The Fire Lizard was also a relic from tens of thousands of years ago, with a dragon-like tail and a lizard’s head.
But compared to a real dragon, its size was much smaller.
Only three or four meters long, entirely crimson, as if cast from lava, but exuding a formidable ferocity.
And its cultivation was slightly stronger than the woman in white’s, a Nine-Star War Ancestor.
"An Eight-Star War Ancestor dealing with a Nine-Star War Ancestor Fire Lizard seems a bit challenging, no?"
Qin Feiyang muttered.
According to ancient records, the Fire Lizard had a thick layer of scale armor, similar to a crocodile’s.
This scale armor was extremely tough; humans of the same level could hardly break it.
Moreover, the Fire Lizard’s saliva carried a toxin that could paralyze nerves.
Although the woman in white wielded a battle art, defeating the Fire Lizard would likely come at a great cost.
Indeed!
The Fire Lizard suddenly opened its wide mouth, spewing forth a transparent liquid.
The woman in white seemed to know the saliva was poisonous and quickly dodged to the side instead of confronting it directly.
"Is it her?"
Just as the woman in white turned around, Qin Feiyang caught a glimpse of her profile, his expression immediately froze.
It turned out this woman was Chu Xuan.
The world is indeed small; even here, he could encounter her.
One must admit, this is fate.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and Fatty appeared out of thin air, smiling, "Here’s your chance to shine."
