The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

Chapter 8: The Secrets of the Jade


Over the course of over one hundred and sixty years, the traces of the Netherworld Hall began to faintly appear throughout the world.

Everywhere, people were engaged in deadly battles, and large-scale wars even emerged among clans at that time.

After a series of investigations, the Netherworld Hall officially appeared in the eyes of the world.

However, at that time, the Ninth Generation Emperor was not dead; this absolute powerhouse who suppressed the world made the Netherworld Hall hide like rats in the gutters.

It wasn't until eighty years later, when the Ninth Generation Emperor disappeared, ushering in the era of a family world, that the Netherworld Hall dared to appear openly.

'The Ninth Generation Emperor likely went to refine the Human Dao Will. From then on, the Human Dao Will was finally fully formed,' Qing Yu thought, standing next to the more than three hundred and eighty-year-old Taixuan.

The Human Dao Will was just one step away; therefore, the Ninth Generation Emperor had to take advantage of being in his peak state to contribute the final piece to this vast endeavor spanning eight generations.

It was also the disappearance of the Human Emperor that opened the era of rampant demons.

The Ghost Emperor slaughtered the world, extracting the death qi of all beings as nourishment, intending to penetrate the supreme Tao Realm.

To be honest, if it weren't for the timing not yet right for the most fierce evil qi to appear, the Ghost Emperor might also have become a Heavenly Demon of a certain generation.

The first target of the Ghost Emperor's emergence was the first generation of Xuandu, inheritor of the Tao Ancestor.

At that time, it had only been a few hundred years since the disappearance of the Tao Ancestor, and the world vaguely attributed the title of the world's number one warrior to the Tao Ancestor's inheritor. Thus, the Ghost Emperor directly sought out that Supreme Inheritor.

After a great battle, the Ghost Emperor found that this Tao Ancestor inheritor was somewhat inadequate and simply eliminated him.

If it were not for the timely arrival of people from the Taoist sects, the initial Supreme Inheritor would have been saved.

Seeing the constantly vomiting blood of the initial inheritor, Qing Yu finally erased the notion of the Tao Ancestor's body seizing from his mind. There's no way; this Supreme Inheritor was indeed somewhat inadequate. Qing Yu estimated that if he were to face this one, he would have a great deal of confidence in defeating him.

More or less stronger than the Golden Wolf Khan, but still a few points inferior to Heavenly Master Zhang.

Even if the Tao Ancestor were to seize someone else's body, he shouldn't have fallen into such a state.

"However, his condition is increasingly resembling Xuandu's," Qing Yu mused.

Whether in qi mechanism or mental state, this initial Supreme Inheritor resembled Xuandu from that full moon night when Qing Yu arrived.

"I also wonder if the Supreme Taoist is like this..."

Time accelerated again, and after the Supreme Inheritor was severely injured, the Ghost Emperor also released one layer of concerns and acted more recklessly.

Subsequently, under the Ghost Emperor's relentless pressure, the Nine Heavens were established.

Led by Zhang Daoling, the alliance of Righteous and Demonic paths was formed. Even the Demon Lord of that era's Heavenly Demon Palace was one of the Nine Heavens. It's worth mentioning that Taixuan among the Nine Heavens was Xuantian.

Over a span of five years, the world was engulfed in warfare. Finally, through the joint efforts of the nine warriors, the Ghost Emperor was slain, and his corpse was suppressed in the Dragon Tiger Mountain Secret Realm.

Compared to the battle between the Ninth Generation Human Emperor and the Xinglie Clan, Taixuan was fully involved in the grand war among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He also participated in the final siege of the Ghost Emperor and the Ten Kings of the Netherworld Palace.

This allowed Qing Yu to truly witness the strength of the supreme among the supreme, seeing how formidable the Ghost Emperor was, who was only a step away from the Tao Realm.

Zhang Daoling, Taixuan, the Demon Lord, and the emperor who could command the Dragon Vein, along with another supreme warrior, these five were all at the Strongest Realm, each not weaker than the Supreme Inheritor.

The five of them besieged the Ghost Emperor and, after seven days of fierce battle, finally killed the Ghost Emperor at the cost of two deaths and three severe injuries.

According to Qing Yu's estimate, with his current strength facing the Ghost Emperor, he would surely be defeated, although there was an eighty percent chance of escaping.

After the great war between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Taixuan's life grew somewhat plain. Teaching disciples, contemplating the Dao daily, and so it was until the end of his life.

In his nine hundredth year, due to the impact of the severe injuries from the previous great war, Taixuan ultimately did not live to see the ultimate age of a thousand years. In front of the Zhenwu Jade, he underwent Soldier Resolution Taoist Transformation, storing all his life's memories into the Zhenwu Jade.

························

Before the Zhenwu Jade, the white-haired Daoist standing motionless opened his eyes, a trace of ancientness flickered in his pupils, then disappeared, and his gaze returned to a state of Qingming vitality.

With slight sensing, Qing Yu also calculated that it had been three days since his Primordial Spirit entered the Zhenwu Jade.

During these three days, Qing Yu spent nearly two hundred years within the Zhenwu Jade. Although time was accelerated through Divine Sense control, and he did not truly spend nine hundred years with Taixuan, even those two hundred years far exceeded Qing Yu's age.

After all, Qing Yu himself had acquired the memories of many others, and with a level of experience beyond a millennium, he could bear it; otherwise, he really would not have been able to withstand it.

This also shows the importance of mental state. If Qing Yu did not have a strong enough mental state, perhaps the moment he exited the Zhenwu Jade, his body would have been aged due to the influence of his Primordial Spirit.

The key for the longevity practitioner is the mental state. If the heart dies, a long life is useless.

However, Qing Yu himself had a superhuman mental state, so he naturally did not fear such minor challenges.

"The Zhenwu Jade is indeed a supreme treasure, having spent such a long time within it, only three days have passed in reality. With this supreme treasure, no wonder martial artists of the True Pill Realm can break through to Divine Communication unimpeded. It's just that the consumption..."

Qing Yu rubbed his forehead in slight dizziness, "Somewhat high."

Generally speaking, the Zhenwu Jade opens once every hundred years. Qing Yu's self-driven entry of his Primordial Spirit for introspection naturally consumed his Primordial Spirit Power. If not for Qing Yu's own great strength and possessing the Three Souls, he might not have been able to withstand the consumption.

Of course, despite the high consumption, it still couldn't conceal the precious nature of the Zhenwu Jade.

"This jade was originally brought out by Taixuan from White Jade City, given to him by the Tao Ancestor as an out-teaching item. There must be significant mysteries within."

Looking at the Zhenwu Jade, Qing Yu's eyes were tinged with a layer of blood color, the Blood Tears Eye fully operating, attempting to see through the essence of the Zhenwu Jade.

His vision penetrated the jade, observing the flow of Daoist energy within, mysterious Daoist essence concealed within.

"Indeed, it is a special material condensed from True Qi, identical to the Bai Yu of White Jade City."

White Jade City is formed from the Tao Ancestor's True Qi condensed into substance, and since the Zhenwu Jade is made from the same material, it indicates that it is also created through the transformation of the Tao Ancestor's True Qi.

"Taisu Primordial Skill, transform."

Pale white energy swirled, as the Zhenwu Jade came into contact with the Taisu Energy, it subtly showed signs of melting, but within the jade, numerous inscriptions appeared, stabilizing its form.

These were inscriptions carved by Emperor Zhenwu Taixuan. The jade itself did not naturally have the effect of storing memories; it became the later Zhenwu Jade through his craftsmanship.
