Chapter 72: Found It!

40 years ago, the Shi Family was not as powerful and influential as it was now.

It was similar to the Black Tiger Gang.

The reason why they had their huge scale today was because the previous patriarch of the Shi family was very powerful. He was a formidable character. Through annexation, suppression, roping in, and destruction, he led the Shi Family to build up their fame and become the number one in the Western District.

Su Jingxing discovered through Wan Rong’s memories that Wan Rong greatly admired the previous patriarch of the Shi Family.

30 years ago, he was already dreaming of entering the Shi Family.

Unfortunately, the Shi Family didn’t not have Wan Rong in their sights at all.

When he entered the seventh-grade and made a name for himself, he was then accepted.

The first level of the Cold Smoke Mantra was his introductory gift.

Unfortunately, it was too troublesome for Su Jingxing to practice this internal exercise.

Let’s wait for the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven instead!

The location of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven was not in the Changyang Prefecture but the Luori Prefecture, which was located in the westernmost part of the Yu Nation.

Su Jingxing had to take a plane to get there. And not a direct flight at that, he had to make two transits.

Therefore, he had to apply for leave again.

Luckily, Su Jingxing had become a full-time employee, and he often helped the others with their shifts, so it wasn’t hard for him to get a week off.

Gu Bo was still concerned about whether something had happened. He told Su Jingxing that he must go to him if he needed help.

Su Jingxing expressed his gratitude but had to find an excuse to cover up.

He couldn’t possibly say that he was going to the Luori Prefecture to get a high-level martial art manual that was suspected to be a true energy internal exercise, could he?

Su Jingxing still wanted to continue extracting cards at the crematorium.

…

Before setting off.

Su Jingxing followed his plan and made a trip to the valley in the Green Cloud Mountain Range where the big white goose was.

At night, he waited for the big white goose to fall asleep. Then, with the help of the silvery-white glow it emitted, he checked the little wooden sword.

And he did find something.

This strange wooden sword was indestructible, unable to be burnt by fire, made wet by water, or buried by soil. Under the silver-white glow, a layer of hazy green light appeared on its surface.

The green light even seemed to be alive. Under Su Jingxing’s gaze, it constantly twisted and shook, releasing wave-like ripples.

As for what was going on, Su Jingxing could not figure it out, nor could he understand.

Helpless, he could only keep it in his storage space.

After bidding farewell to the big white goose, he returned to Qinghe City and took a plane to Luori Prefecture.

He made two transits in between.

Setting off at six in the morning, at three in the afternoon the next day, he arrived at the city nearest to the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven’s location, New Fate City.

The reason why it took so long was because the plane had to take a detour.

The linear distance between Qinghe City and New Fate City was 2,500 kilometers.

However, there were several danger zones with chaotic magnetic fields in between, as well as three airspaces with avian Mutated Beasts.

To pass through safely, the plane had to take a detour.

It took him more than a day and a night to arrive, and this was still thanks to the fact that no avian Mutated Beasts had harassed them.

Su Jingxing had taken a week off just in case of such situations.

After arriving at New Fate City, things became much simpler.

The Nine Steps Trampling Heaven was hidden at Sunset Cliff, which was 50 miles away from New Fate City.

The Sunset Cliff extended for a long stretch of more than eight hundred miles.

The highest point on the surface was 5,000 meters, the lowest, 2,000 meters. Underground, the deepest part reached 1,000 meters.

It was truly a natural chasm.

In reality, after crossing Sunset Cliff, one would reach the outer region of the Boundless Mountain Range.

In order to guard the barbarians, Yu Nation had set up several observation points on the peaks of Sunset Cliff.

Su Jingxing didn’t know if there were any observation points near the location of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven.

Just in case, he stayed in New Fate City for half a day and hacked into the government’s system to confirm the locations of the observation points.

After he found them, he compared them to the location of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven. In the end, he concluded that it would not affect him.

That was enough.

Early the next morning, Su Jingxing bought a motorcycle, filled it with petrol, and left the city for Sunset Cliff.

Arriving at the predetermined location, he hid the motorcycle and activated the secret ability, Advanced Hearing to make sure that there was no one around. Then, he executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon, stepped on the steep cliff and ran at top speed.

With the Eight Steps Rising Dragon at the Peak of Perfection, his speed had increased by at least five times compared to before.

Before coming to Luori Prefecture, Su Jingxing had climbed over the thousand-meter cliff on the outskirts of the valley where the big white goose was without any leverage. He charged to the top at one go.

This time, it was the same. Su Jingxing followed the route marked on the map and ran swiftly along the mountain face.

Looking down from the sky, he was like a flying snake slithering stealthily along the mountain face.

He kept going, forward and forward.

He covered more than a hundred kilometers, resting three times in between.

Su Jingxing finally found the location of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual——a cave covered with vines.

The cave was more than 700 meters above ground, and there were vines all around it.

Su Jingxing spent half an hour to find it.

He took out his treasure weapon and executed the Three Origins Saber Art. He split open the dense vines that covered the entrance of the cave and instantly shot five throwing daggers into it.

He didn’t hear any abnormal echoes, and neither did Advanced Hearing pick up any extra noises.

Su Jingxing then flashed into the cave.

He stood at the entrance and activated Night Vision, getting a clear look of the area.

He discovered that the cave was very deep and it extended downwards.

Since he was already at this step, Su Jingxing naturally would not be timid. He retrieved the throwing daggers and held them in his hand, ready to fire at any time.

After walking through the pathway for more than ten minutes, he came to a karst cave that was flickering with green light.

The cave was huge, about two football fields.

Su Jingxing moved to a high point and scanned the surroundings. He then realized that the source of the green light was a type of crystal.

Under the illumination of these green lights, the karst cave presented a unique scene.

Activating Advanced Hearing, he listened to his surroundings and heard scorpions, centipedes, ants, and other species moving around.

Su Jingxing ignored them and searched for the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual in the cave.

According to the hints, the secret manual was placed in a special box.

Su Jingxing activated Night Vision and Distant Vision to scan the area.

Ten minutes later, he found a dark brown wooden box in a pile of sunken green crystals.

He picked up the wooden box and opened it gently. A strange fragrance wafted out.

Su Jingxing held his breath at once and looked into the box.

Indeed, he saw an old secret manual.

Five ancient words were written on it.

Nine Steps Trampling Heaven!

Found it!

Su Jingxing was overjoyed. He didn’t hurry to look through the contents right away. Instead, he closed the box, put it into the storage space in his palm, and returned the way he came.

After returning to the cave entrance, he continued to execute the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and dash in the direction he came from.

Su Jingxing only heaved a sigh of relief when he stepped onto the ground again and found the hidden motorcycle. He got on and opened the box to let out the smell.

Su Jingxing couldn’t be sure if it was poisonous or not.

After the smell had dissipated, he then picked up the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual and flipped through it.

Su Jingxing remained grinning.

True energy internal exercise!

He had guessed correctly. The Nine Steps Trampling Heaven was indeed a high-level martial art that could cultivate true energy.

Among them, the words “Trampling Heaven” came from one of the most terrifying Mutated Beast on Earth Star.

Heaven Trampling Elephant!
