Huang Rong’s words left everyone in shock.
The Tai Xuan Scripture, a supreme martial art that had elevated Huang Rong from the Innate Realm to the Peak Grandmaster Realm, wasn’t even the entirety of the stone wall’s martial art?
This… was simply unbelievable!
They finally understood—it wasn’t that Ning Changge lacked comprehension. Instead, the stone wall’s martial art contained something far beyond the Tai Xuan Scripture. Waves of realization rippled through their minds. The Dragon and Wood Island Masters exchanged glances, a faint understanding dawning on them.
“Miss Huang, the part of the martial art you couldn’t comprehend—does it resemble this?” the Dragon Island Master asked solemnly.
As he spoke, a faint blood-red light flickered in his hand, taking the shape of a sword. This was the essence of his Sword Dao of Slaughter.
Huang Rong’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, it’s similar to this, but… it feels much stronger.”
The Wood Island Master’s breathing quickened. “Then it must be true. If we’re not mistaken, that must be the Sword Dao Essence left behind by the Celestial Sword Immortal!”
The crowd erupted in astonishment.
The Sword Dao Essence of the Celestial Sword Immortal?
A peerless expert from 3,000 years ago—how could he possibly leave behind his Sword Dao Essence across such a vast expanse of time?
“How is that even possible?” Huang Yaoshi murmured in disbelief. Content originally comes from novelFɪre.net
The Dragon Island Master exhaled slowly. “Though it sounds unbelievable, it’s not entirely impossible. It’s said that the Celestial Sword Immortal lived for a thousand years. Perhaps he possessed abilities far beyond those of ordinary Land Immortals.”
“From what we can see now, the Little Immortal must have already comprehended the Tai Xuan Scripture. To comprehend the Sword Dao Essence left by the Celestial Sword Immortal, two conditions must be met: first, one must master the Tai Xuan Scripture; second, one’s cultivation must reach the Heaven-Man realm or higher.”
Based on their own experiences with the stone wall, this conclusion was not difficult to draw.
The crowd nodded in agreement.
At this point, the Dragon and Wood Island Masters turned their attention to Huang Rong, their expressions slightly awkward.
“Miss Huang… would you be willing to share the Tai Xuan Scripture with us?” the Dragon Island Master asked hesitantly.
After all, Huang Rong was just a ten-year-old girl. Asking her for the Tai Xuan Scripture felt a bit strange. But their desire to comprehend the martial art outweighed their embarrassment.
Huang Rong smiled warmly. “Of course.”
She wasn’t a selfish person. Besides, the opportunity to study the stone wall’s martial art had been given to her by the Dragon and Wood Island Masters. She saw no reason to withhold it.
The crowd eagerly leaned in, their eyes filled with anticipation.
This was the legendary martial art left behind by the Celestial Sword Immortal!
Huang Rong began to recite the Tai Xuan Scripture, carefully explaining each line. Her explanations were detailed and easy to understand. However, to everyone’s surprise, they found themselves utterly baffled. Even the two Land Immortals were at a loss.
Huang Rong herself was puzzled.
To her, the Tai Xuan Scripture was straightforward. Yet no one else seemed able to grasp its true essence. Or rather, they could understand it, but the effects were completely different from what she experienced.
“Why is this happening?” Huang Rong wondered aloud, her eyes filled with confusion. She had held nothing back, sharing all her insights. So why was no one else able to connect with the Tai Xuan Scripture as she had?
It was as if the martial art’s true profundities were accessible only to her.
The Dragon Island Master’s face fell with disappointment. The Wood Island Master, however, furrowed his brow, a look of realization dawning on his face. He let out a bitter laugh.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Tai Xuan Scripture was never meant for ordinary people like us. Miss Huang must possess a unique quality that allowed her to comprehend it so effortlessly. In other words, Miss Huang is likely the chosen successor of the Celestial Sword Immortal!”
The crowd was stunned into silence.
This explanation seemed the most plausible. Why else would Huang Rong alone be able to comprehend the martial art?
Huang Rong herself was struck by a sudden realization.
When she had studied the stone wall, she had encountered no obstacles. It had felt as if the martial art had been tailor-made for her.
Feng Heng’s eyes lit up as she recalled something.
“I remember Changge once said that Rong’er has a unique constitution…”
Her words triggered Huang Yaoshi’s memory. Ning Changge had indeed mentioned that Huang Rong’s constitution was suited for the Immortal Dao. Could it be that the Celestial Sword Immortal had some connection to the Immortal Dao?
Their breathing grew tense.
The Dragon and Wood Island Masters turned their gazes toward Ning Changge.
“If that’s the case, the Little Immortal must also possess a unique constitution. He must have already comprehended the Tai Xuan Scripture and is now studying the Sword Dao Essence left by the Celestial Sword Immortal!”
Their eyes glimmered with envy.
Their disappointment at being unable to comprehend the Tai Xuan Scripture began to fade. For them, simply witnessing someone else unlock the stone wall’s secrets was a form of solace.
This was their decades-long obsession.
It was their pursuit of the Dao, a belief that it was better to die having glimpsed the truth than to live in ignorance.
All eyes turned to Ning Changge.
He stood in his white Daoist robe, which fluttered despite the absence of wind. He seemed ethereal, almost divine. Around him, five-colored light began to shimmer, and a sharp aura emanated from him, causing the crowd to instinctively step back.
At this moment, Ning Changge was fully immersed in a state of enlightenment.
As the crowd had guessed, he had comprehended the Tai Xuan Scripture in mere moments.
