Chapter 412: 264 Palm: Heavenly Secret_1

“`

The Great Millennium Cataclysm brought about a massive transformation of heaven and earth, affecting all facets and parties.

Take this cave, for instance, a natural formation, exceptionally spacious inside, which allowed it to accommodate the seventy-two Earth Sha Iron Armor Corpses Xu Yang had just finished refining.

However, even this couldn’t serve as a stronghold, and Xu Yang wasn’t in a position to establish one either.

Therefore, with a wave of his sleeve and once again employing the Qiankun technique, he retracted the newly refined Earth Sha Iron Armor Corpses and stood up to leave, “Let’s go.”

“Go?”

Su Shaoqing was taken aback, unsure where they were headed but also dared not ask further, simply following his lead.

Outside the cave, the night remained, the moon hidden, stars obscured, enveloping them in darkness.

The long night hadn’t passed yet.

After defeating Chen Pojun and killing Shi Wei, Zhang Ren, and others, Xu Yang took the severely injured and unconscious Su Shaoqing, escaping a thousand miles away to recuperate in this cave.

Though they had fled a thousand miles, such a distance meant little to a martial artist, so it’s very likely they were still within the encirclement, the net cast by the people of Martial World and the various factions.

This time, someone unknown had spread the news about Su Shaoqing and two others fleeing with the Mysterious Ice coffin and Holy Relics, inciting the Martial World and all major powers to spring into action. The Beggar’s Guild, Demon Sect, and Iron Heart Fortress were merely the first parties to arrive, with no telling how many more might follow in pursuit.

After all, joining in on the buzz and tracking a hot lead is second nature to denizens of the Martial World and martial artists—it is also a principal avenue to achieve fame and success. Naturally, everyone wished to get involved given the opportunity.

But Xu Yang currently had no interest in setting the stage for a play with these individuals.

So…

He swiftly formed a hand seal, channeling mana, his eyes flashing with Spirit Light, all revealing a profound mystery.

It was none other than the precursor to the Admiring Eye of Heaven—the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light technique!

Although he had recently resurrected and hadn’t delved deeply into the study of Taoism, hence unable to open the Admiring Eye of Heaven, using Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light to aid navigation was still feasible.

Not just Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light, but other spells were also applicable. After all, with sufficient mana, spells will follow the mastery—if the mana is there, the technique is, too. As long as he had enough mana to support them, Xu Yang could cast any spell below the fourth tier without having cultivated them.>

What about spells above the fourth tier?

Once a spell reaches the fourth tier, it enters the realm of Divine Skills, like the Admiring Eye of Heaven, which requires an incredibly lengthy process of cultivation, permanently rooted within one’s flesh, soul, and Golden Core. Only then can their true power be unleashed.

Xu Yang had just been resurrected and lacked such a foundation. Therefore, at present, he could only use spells below the fourth tier. To harness tier-four or higher Divine Skills, he would need to cultivate for some time, manifest them, and then utilize.

But what was available to him was just enough for now.

With a glance from the Spirit Eyes and a query through Mysterious Light, he quickly discerned the direction.

“This way!”

Xu Yang spoke no further, leading Su Shaoqing outwards, prepared to evade the search and tracking of others.

With his current abilities, unless there was an expert in the Skill of Heavenly Mechanism to disrupt the heavenly order, and a cultivator at the Nascent Soul to God Transformation Level used their divine consciousness to tirelessly search heaven and earth, a needle in a haystack scenario sifting through mountains and valleys, it would be difficult to pinpoint him even if they knew his general vicinity.

Currently, the opposition clearly lacked such preparations. With the Spirit Eyes Mysterious Light consulting the mechanism of heaven, and the ghosts, spirits, and all things of the world at his disposal, it was as if he had an all-encompassing satellite radar—without a real, tangible encirclement, it was all too easy for him to escape.

This was the key, but Su Shaoqing was unaware of it.

All she saw was this ancestral emperor calculating with his fingers, determining a direction, and then walking out without any worries.

Is this really fine?

Although she had no doubt in the ancestral emperor’s abilities to help her, the concepts and cognition shaped throughout her life still made her somewhat distrustful of these seemingly grandiose and intangible Ghost and God’s Skills, causing her instinctive anxiety.

Xu Yang was aware of her concerns but didn’t mind. In fact, he took some solace in it.

While reverence and faith are valuable, they must not be blind. He required loyal generals, not zealous believers. If one were to become so blind as to lose oneself, the potential and future of that individual would undoubtedly be limited.

Three days later.

“Why haven’t we found them yet?”

“Where has he hidden himself?”

“Could someone have snatched them from under our noses?”

“Impossible. He managed to defeat Chen Pojun with such valor. Even for a Grandmaster on the Heaven List, capturing him wouldn’t be easy. Who could have outpaced us without making a sound?”

The four Spell Kings were gathered, each one seething with rage upon hearing the reports from their subordinates.

Three days ago, the four Spell Kings had personally led the search, dispatching messengers in all directions and the Twelve Altar Members far and wide, scouring tens of thousands of miles. They even clashed with other factions that arrived later, but still, they couldn’t find any trace of the man. freёwebnovel.com

There was no news from the local branches’ secret informants, as if that person had vanished into thin air.

“It’s said that this person is adept in the arts of disguise and Concealing Presence; perhaps he has already slipped away.”

“Hmph, the Disguise Concealment Skills from ten thousand years ago, how could they elude the grand search of our Demon Sect?”

“What does ten thousand years ago matter? This person cannot be measured by conventional means. He wielded unfathomable powers even then, and now he has achieved the unheard-of feat of returning from the dead. It’s not surprising he has more tricks up his sleeve.”

“Any news from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism yet?”

“If we want to find this person, I’m afraid we’ll need the Divine Martial Venerable to perceive the heavens and the earth at all times to discover his whereabouts.”

“Damn it!”

The four of them were frustrated and yet helpless.

The Divine Martial Venerable possessed top-tier combat power. Each bore important responsibilities, whether it was comprehending the War God’s Atlas or guarding strategic locations, and they couldn’t be casually mobilized.

After all, these are not the days of old. Before the disappearance of the Heavenly Demon God Monarch, Leng Aotian, although the Righteous and Evil Paths had disputes and even deadly feuds, they could still be settled through the “Cycle of Wind and Cloud Battles” where the victor seized benefits and the loser made concessions, thus maintaining a semblance of order amidst chaos.
