ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 69

Su Zimo cupped his fists towards the old man beside the secret pavilion and entered after bowing.

The fragrance of ancient books wafted over.

After Su Zimo entered the secret pavilion, the door behind him closed on its own.

The light in the secret pavilion was dim. However, Su Zimo’s eyesight was extremely strong having cultivated to this point as he scanned the place without any obstructions.

In the secret pavilion, there were neat bookshelves that were roughly divided into cultivation techniques, secret skills, immortal arts, elixir pills, array formations, weapon refinement…

Every single type of bookshelf was lined with various cultivation techniques. Some of them were in the form of ancient scrolls, some of them were bamboo scrolls, some of them only had a single beast hide and some of them were jade scrolls…

Su Zimo first arrived at the cultivation technique section and casually picked up an ancient scroll and took a look.

Destiny Dark Spirit Technique.

The contents of the cultivation technique were not complicated. Su Zimo merely browsed through it briefly and understood most of it.

He memorized the cultivation technique silently and told the Martial Dao Prime Body who was far away in the Fiend Domain.

There was no need for the Green Lotus True Body to cultivate these cultivation techniques.

To be precise, the cultivation techniques in the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion were not worth his time and energy to cultivate.

None of the cultivation techniques here could compare to the Taboo Mystic Classic, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra!

Perhaps he could find some secret skills that were helpful to him on the other bookshelves.

For example, Su Zimo was prepared to cultivate the Lifespan Sacrifice Art released by Ye Fei in the Nine Heavens.

Before long, the contents of the Destiny Dark Spirit Technique were revealed to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Su Zimo continued watching.

White Feather Spirit Manual.

Mirror Dharmic Art.

Heaven Seeking Manual.

Fiend Suppression Manual.

Divine Dream Mystic Classic…

The Green Lotus True Body memorized cultivation techniques one after another and told everything to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Unknowingly, a day had passed and Su Zimo had just browsed through more than a hundred cultivation techniques—it was not even a fraction of the secret pavilion.

Su Zimo rubbed his glabella gently to calm himself down.

With enough time, he could transfer all the cultivation techniques in the secret pavilion to the Martial Dao Prime Body slowly—this matter could not be rushed.

He casually picked up an ancient piece of white paper.

Sword Classic.

There were two words written on the top of the white paper. However, the edge of the paper was damaged and was clearly torn apart. It was incomplete and was only the size of a palm.

There seemed to be something else before the words Sword Classic.

However, the white paper was torn beyond recognition and there was only half of the sutra on it—Su Zimo could not understand it at all.

Su Zimo did not think too much about it and still wanted to memorize the incomplete sword sutra before imparting it to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

However, something strange happened!

After Su Zimo memorized it once, when he wanted to impart the words of the Sword Classic to the Martial Dao Prime Body, he suddenly realized that he could not remember a single word of the sword sutra that he had just memorized.

His mind was completely blank!

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

His gaze swept past the Sword Classic and the few paragraphs of the sword sutra that he had memorized earlier on resurfaced in his mind.

When he wanted to tell the words to the Martial Dao Prime Body, they vanished once more and the latter could not obtain anything!

“Strange.”

Su Zimo was puzzled.

This time round, he memorized the Sword Classic repeatedly to ensure that he remembered them clearly. He did not impart them to the Martial Dao Prime Body either. Instead, he closed his eyes and repeated it to strengthen his memories.

However, not long after, the lines of the sutra he memorized vanished from his mind once more.

“This is…”

Su Zimo looked at the palm-sized ancient white paper in his hands and his heart skipped a beat. He exerted strength in both hands and tore it to both sides!

Indeed!

The ancient white paper was intact!

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo exerted strength. Apart from the fact that he did not use his blood qi, he released almost all the power of his Grade 11 Green Lotus True Body.

Even ordinary heaven-grade Dharmic treasures would not be able to withstand such immense power.

However, the ancient white paper did not budge at all and there were no signs of damage!

This was a treasure.

What was the origin of a sutra recorded in such a treasure?

Why couldn’t he memorize that sutra?

Right then, something crossed Su Zimo’s mind.

…

He put down the ancient white paper in his hands first and chose to impart the contents of the Prajna Nirvana Sutra to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

The Prajna Nirvana Sutra was a Taboo Mystic Classic and its help to the Martial Dao Prime Body was self-evident.

Most of the first half of the sutra was sent to the Martial Dao Prime Body smoothly. However, the Green Lotus True Body could not send the last half of the sutra.

The situation encountered was extremely similar to his earlier experience!

The sutra at the back was the sutra on the fourth tripod wall of the Hell Suppression Tripod!

The fourth tripod wall had just been repaired. Although Su Zimo had already memorized the sutras on it, he had yet to cultivate and comprehend them completely.

In other words, if he did not comprehend the sutra of the Taboo Mystic Classic completely, he would not be able to impart it to another person even if he memorized it perfectly!

Furthermore, Su Zimo could clearly sense that although he had imparted most of the sutra of the Prajna Nirvana Sutra to the Martial Dao Prime Body, there were still many important things missing.

Those were the Dao runes and intents etched on the Hell Suppression Tripod.

Although the Green Lotus True Body could impart the sutra to the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could not transmit the Dao runes and intents on the Hell Suppression Tripod—that was something left behind by the Infinite Great Emperor!

Those were the most precious legacies of the Taboo Mystic Classic!

…

At the same time, Su Zimo finally understood something.

The stronger the cultivation technique, the harder it was to cultivate and pass it down.

It was especially so for the Taboo Mystic Classic!

The only way to cultivate it successfully was by personally viewing the original copy of the Taboo Mystic Classic.

Furthermore, even if the first person cultivated it successfully, the Taboo Mystic Classic could not be imparted if the original copy was not passed down to others.

The Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts that Su Zimo obtained had such characteristics as well.

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, in the ancient era, someone obtained those two sword arts and cultivated them successfully. However, they were not passed down.

Even the Sword Emperor only managed to inherit the full legacy after he created another sword cultivation technique through one of the sword arts.

In that case, there was a high chance that the sword sutra on the incomplete white paper before him came from a Taboo Mystic Classic or some extremely superior cultivation technique or secret skill!

Su Zimo pondered for a moment and a thought flashed through his mind. He looked at the ancient white paper in his hands and circulated a cultivation technique at the same time as the Martial Dao Prime Body who was far away in the Fiend Domain.

In adrift, the two true bodies suddenly established a mysterious connection. Their minds were connected and they were even clearer and sharper than before!

Suddenly!

In the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion of Heaven and Earth Academy, Su Zimo’s clear eyes transformed and two strange purple flames appeared.

Spirit Consonance Art—to see what the other saw!

At that moment, the Martial Dao Prime Body transmigrated through endless space through the Spirit Consonance Art and saw everything in the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion of Heaven and Earth Academy through the eyes of the Green Lotus True Body!
