Chapter 115 - 115: 114: The Original Version of Dragon Elephant Art

Translator: 549690339

At the age of 27: The head of the True Martial Sect, through Bai Xiaosheng, gifted you the “Shenxiao Jade Book.”.

At the age of 28: The head of the True Martial Sect, Taoist Qingxu, and Bai Xiaosheng visited together, inviting you to explore a blessed land that originally belonged to the Shenxiao Sect.

After much consideration, you agreed to join them.

Half a year later, they left without gaining anything except a Shenxiao Command token.

At the age of 29: Taoist Qingxu wants to broker peace between you and the imperial court, and hints that he would support your re-establishment of the Shenxiao Sect, but you politely declined his offer.

Half a year later, you went back to the Northwest Dao , hoping to obtain the last skill of the Dragon Elephant Art from the Diamond Gate.

At the age of 30: You battled with the Diamond Gate’s leader, it was difficult to determine the better fighter, and you did not achieve what you desired.

At the age of 31: You ventured into the wilds of the Western Regions, hoping to find traces of the reclusive Esoteric Sect and acquire the original Dragon Elephant Skill.

At the age of 33: The emperor passed away, King Xing was appointed as his successor, and all major forces started to play their cards.

However, you remained indifferent because, after two years of searching, you finally found the location of the Esoteric Sect. You hoped to acquire the Original Elephant Art but ended up meeting a very powerful hidden Esoteric Sect master.

Unexpectedly, this master of the Esoteric Sect did not stop you but let you proceed with the contemplation of the original Dragon Elephant Skill.

You sat idle for three months, although you understood the final skill of the Dragon Elephant Art, you did not practice it. That’s because the last level of this skill requires a profound understanding of Buddhism, which is completely different from your martial arts path.

At age 35: After leaving the Esoteric Sect, you traveled the world again, visiting various powerful practitioners, intending to create your own ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Skill with your abilities.

One day, as you were meditating on a mountaintop, you were suddenly attracted by the roaring thunder in the sky. Watching the flashing thunder, you had a wild idea.

You drew the Shenxiao Sword and stabbed it toward the thunder, intending to attract the power of the thunder to refine your body.

The explosive power of the thunder ran through your body, and your seemingly invincible body began to collapse.

At that moment, the Shenxiao Command token on your body suddenly reacted. Stimulated by the power of the thunder, the Shenxiao Command token glowed brightly to resist the brutality of the thunder. Only a constant stream of life energy remained to nourish your body.

At this moment, you seemed to have an epiphany and gained insight into the ninth level of the Body Refining Method. Your body also began to change.

However, an unexpected incident occurred at this point.

At the critical moment of your physical transformation, two expert Martial Artists from the underworld arrived. These two first-grade Martial Artists had been following you for a long time, intending to murder you at this moment.

At that time, even though you were held back by the thunder, you managed to kill both of them.

However, you were consequently injured by the power of the thunder.

At the age of 36: You followed the guidance you obtained from the Shenxiao Command token and came back to the site of the ancient Shenxiao Sect’s gate. Using the Shenxiao Command token, you opened a unknown Shenxiao Inheritance Mysterious Realm.

To acquire the real secret techniques of the Shenxiao Sect, you accepted the test inside the Mysterious Realm.

However, to your surprise, using your own strength, you could not pass the test. You only made it to the fourth level before you died.

[End of this life.]

The Shenxiao Command token, Shenxiao inheritance, the trial in the Forbidden Place.

Looking at these simulated life experiences, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

“I didn’t expect that the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect would come from somewhere else, and the blessed land that Taoist Qingxu and Bai Xiaosheng knew about was not the actual place of inheritance. No wonder there was nothing to gain except the Shenxiao Command token.” He thought to himself.

“But why are the tests in the Shenxiao Sect’s inheritance so harsh that if you fail, you die?” Pei Xuanjing was somewhat puzzled.

He didn’t expect his simulated life to end this way, it was a bit unexpected.

It has to be noted that even though the Shenxiao Sect has a strange way of doing things in the Taoist School, they are not the Demonic Cult. How come they have such a deadly test? [Simulation over, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]

[First, the initial version of the “Dragon Elephant Skill”.]

[Second, Thunder Body Refining Method (Incomplete version).]

[Third, experience of the first three levels of the Shenxiao Sect’s inheritance.]

“Choose the first one.”

After some thought, Pei Xuanjing chose the first one.

Despite the fact that the original “Dragon Elephant Skill” might be unpractisable for him, this top-level martial skill (PS: Dragon Elephant Art of the Diamond Gate is a revised version, but the original Dragon Elephant Art is a complete martial skill.) is of great reference value for his future Body Refining Technique. He could learn from it and gain benefits.

As for the incomplete Thunder Body Refining Method, with the experience from the simulated life, Pei Xuanjing didn’t even consider practicing it without the Shenxiao Command token.

After all, his simulated self didn’t have a simulator to use and had to take extreme measures. But he now has many more options.

As for the third option, it’s useful but it’s a bit beyond his current reach, so he had to put it aside for now.

After making his choice, Pei Xuanjing’s mind was filled with the cultivation methods of the original version of the Dragon Elephant Art and the insights of the previous cultivators of the Esoteric Sect.

“So that’s it!”

After studying this skill for a long time, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but exclaim.

In the beginning, Pei Xuanjing was curious why many big forces in the world would keep their martial arts skills under tight wraps and not allow any leaks.

But when you look at Buddhism, Taoism, and the Demonic Cult, especially the major forces among these three, they don’t care too much about leaks of their martial arts skills.

Every once in a while, there are rumors circulating in the world that someone has stolen martial arts from one of these three types of forces, and in most cases, the thief ends up not being pursued.

These three are not just martial arts sects, they also have their own philosophies and principles, which are integrated into the martial arts they practice.

Once you practice the martial arts of these three factions, the deeper your skills become and the closer you get to the peak of martial arts, the more you will be influenced and come to accept their philosophies and principles.

And if you only want to practice martial arts but don’t accept the principles and philosophies hidden within them, then you can’t practice them to the extreme.

“No wonder, this is a form of investment. Cast a wide net, do not cultivate. They don’t care if you practice or not, as long as you do, you’re one of them.” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but exclaim.

He even maliciously speculated about whether those who stole martial arts really stole it due to their abilities or whether it was deliberately ‘given’ to them?

Everything remains unknown..
