"Thanks to the Sect Master’s blessing, I really found it! Here, this piece of Bone, it precisely records the solution to the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique!" Chu Feng pointed at the three-meter-high Demon Bone.
All eyes were unanimously drawn to that piece of Bone.
This was a shimmering silver Demon Bone, indicating that in its lifetime, it must have been a demon beast with extremely high cultivation. Because it has always been said among the people that Immortals are of silver bone and golden blood.
It is the same for demon beasts.
Only those demon beasts with extremely formidable Demon Bodies have bones that turn silver.
This also means that its bones, during its lifetime, underwent countless times of tempering. Tough as refined steel and comparable to a Divine Weapon.
"This, the Runes on this Demon Elephant Tibia are extremely ancient. Even I, an old man, don’t recognize them, how, how can you understand them?" Elder Ge Qing exclaimed in shock after clearly seeing the Bone that Chu Feng was pointing to.
Elder Ge Qing is the Supreme Elder of the Sect, stationed at the Third Level of Sword Pavilion, primarily responsible for transmission of teachings.
He usually has quite a leisurely time, other than practicing cultivation, his greatest hobby is to run to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion and study these ancient texts. Especially the ancient texts from the Dragon Han Period, they interest him the most.
Because these ancient texts are broad and profound. Not only do they record many strange and unusual incidents from Ancient Times, but they are also greatly beneficial for cultivation.
Unfortunately, despite having studied for over a thousand years on his own, he has mastered enough to understand quite a few ancient texts from the Dragon Han Period.
But for the Runes on this Demon Bone, he is still completely at a loss and cannot understand them at all.
This Demon Bone has been determined by him to be the most difficult ancient text to understand.
Now, Chu Feng, a young man under twenty, is somehow able to understand it. How could this not shock him immensely.
Not to mention Elder Ge Qing, even Pu Li and others were equally astounded looking at Chu Feng.
Yet, Chu Feng, the center of everyone’s attention, did not feel any pride or conceit about being able to understand the hardest of ancient texts. In fact, when he spoke of it, it seemed like he was merely discussing a trivial matter.
As simple as eating and drinking.
This is truly being humbly modest and unflustered, beyond shock from praise or disgrace.
"Hmph, acting quite well! You can’t even understand the simplest ancient texts, how could you understand the Rune on that piece of Bone?" Lin Shiyi coldly sneered, mercilessly exposing Chu Feng in public.
Just now, she had publicly questioned Chu Feng, and he himself admitted that he did not understand the simplest stele.
Who knew, after hearing this, Chu Feng did not even spare her a glance.
He straight-up treated her as if she were air.
With several Supreme Elders present and even the Sect Master, as a mere librarian and ordinary disciple, she truly had no place to even interject.
"In my youth, I happened to study some ancient Runes, therefore I can understand some!"
"This piece of Bone mentions a Secret Technique called Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill. I wonder if any of the Supreme Elders have heard of this technique?" Chu Feng did not elaborate further on this matter, but directly mentioned the key point recorded on the Bone.
Lin Shiyi was ignored outright by Chu Feng, making her grit her teeth in anger, stamping her foot.
She wished she could kill Chu Feng.
However, when she heard Chu Feng confidently recite the content on the Bone, she was also extremely shocked inside.
Faintly, she realized that Chu Feng was much more formidable than she had imagined.
"Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill? Our sect happens to know this technique." Pu Li’s expression was somewhat peculiar, astonished and yet with a hint of hesitation.
Looking at his expression, it was probably very difficult to obtain this Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill.
Several Supreme Elders also had different expressions, all showing signs of difficulty.
"It is said that by cultivating this technique, one can split one’s Divine Soul into two parts, one good and one evil. Perhaps it could indeed perfectly resolve the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique."
Pu Li knew a bit about this profound Secret Technique.
"Sect Master, do we know where this technique is?" Chu Feng was very worried that the technique had been lost. Now hearing that Pu Li knew the whereabouts of the technique, he was overjoyed. No matter how difficult, Chu Feng was determined to get it.
"Alas, it’s a long story, this Secret Technique is not available in Dan State at all. However, to my knowledge, there’s a scroll of this technique preserved at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect."
Pu Li’s expression changed unpredictably; after hesitating for a moment, he still announced this extremely shocking news publicly.
Ten Thousand Sword Sect headquarters?
Everyone was looking at Pu Li with immense surprise.
Not to mention ordinary disciples, even the protectors and Elders of the Sect, didn’t know this secret.
"Anyway, this matter is not a significant secret; in fact, quite a number of the older generation in Dan State are aware of the origin of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect. Not only our Ten Thousand Sword Sect, but the Golden Talisman Sect too, similarly belongs to a branch of the Great Sect."
"Ten thousand years ago, during the chaos in the Divine Demon Continent, a large number of Ancient Demons invaded the Divine Martial Continent. As the Demon beasts were extremely formidable, everyone was at risk and the major Sects were in constant jeopardy. The founding master of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect, having received the secret mandate of the Sect, led a group of people to Dan State to found and establish the branch of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect."
"In this way, even if the headquarters were to be annihilated, the lineage would not be severed."
"Back then, at least six high-level experts left the headquarters along with the first Sect Master to establish the branch in places like Dan State."
Pu Li, being at most a thousand years old, must have learned the secrets of ten thousand years ago from the previous Sect Master.
This news was really astonishing.
However, Chu Feng knew somewhat about the affairs of the Divine Martial Continent. Besides having numerous powerful Sects, ten thousand years ago, the invasion by the Demon Clan spurred a bloody turmoil.
Countless human powerhouses perished.
Even the Ancient Horn Sore Demon in Dan State likely fled to this place from the Divine Martial Continent during that time.
"Sect Master, do we still have any contact with the headquarters?" Chu Feng asked involuntarily.
Since the Demon Soul Splitting Technique is a High Grade Secret Technique and only the headquarters has it, as a disciple of the branch, he probably doesn’t have the rights to cultivate it.
"There are still some contacts. But as you know, the basic foundation of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect is the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. Unfortunately, over the years, no one has been able to inherit the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill."
"This has caused our Dan State Branch to be marginalized at the headquarters, gradually pushed to the sidelines."
"Fortunately, in this generation, we finally have a genius like you. With the Nine Yang Sword Veins and the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, I believe that within a hundred years, our Dan State Branch will definitely regain a foothold at the headquarters. Once again, it will have some voice and be able to receive some advanced cultivation resources bestowed from the headquarters."
Pu Li gazed at Chu Feng with sparkling eyes, placing great hopes on him.
Indeed, with Chu Feng’s devil-like talent, it’s believed that in the near future, even at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect in the Divine Martial Continent, he will make a name for himself.
