Chapter 237: Chapter 127: Dao Concealment
"I have a Secret Medicine formula here that can treat these..."
Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit quickly popped out, wanting to use this as leverage to negotiate some terms with Su Chen.
But before it could finish speaking,
the injuries on Su Chen’s body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not a single trace was left behind.
"This..."
The Artifact Spirit was dumbfounded.
The Longevity Qi had transformed into Longevity Blood, and his healing ability had increased by more than just a few times.
This Sword of Slaughter Skill was terrifyingly powerful.
The unavoidable damage incurred during its cultivation might be troublesome for others, but for Su Chen, it was not even worth mentioning.
At this moment, Su Chen felt an inspiration.
On his Profound Robe, a Dragon Pattern transformed into a dragon and emerged, then took the form of an illusory sword.
"Kill!"
A tyrannical Qi circulated throughout his body, finally converging into the illusory Dragon Pattern sword.
BOOM!
He had grasped it.
However, the technique’s tyrannical killing intent was incompatible with Su Chen’s detached nature, making it impossible to control. And since it was not a Killing Sword Pill, the sword promptly shattered.
"You actually mastered it?"
"Such terrifying comprehension."
The Artifact Spirit was dumbfounded.
The three great Sword Control Skills were notoriously difficult to learn.
Over the years, some of the Artifact Masters it had served had attempted this skill. But without exception, they all failed to grasp even the basics, even after reaching the Semi-Saint realm, and eventually gave up in frustration.
’This one’s comprehension is just too heaven-defying!’
’How long has it even been?’
At this moment, the Artifact Spirit still didn’t know that Su Chen had also mastered the Wind Swordsmanship, another of the three great Sword Control Skills, after seeing it just once.
Such comprehension was unheard of, perhaps unique in all the world.
"What were you saying just now?"
Su Chen asked, tilting his head.
After a long silence, the Artifact Spirit sighed.
"Nothing."
"I was just wondering when I can finally outlive you and get a new, more controllable Artifact Master, like that Chu Shan..."
’Outlive me?’
Su Chen found this amusing. He patted the illusory shoulder of the Artifact Spirit Little Man. He didn’t want to crush the spirit’s hopes any further, especially since he had just received a benefit from it.
And so, he said consolingly.
"Don’t worry."
"You can be sure of it."
"That day will come..."
Unexpectedly, the Artifact Spirit actually took him seriously. It reverted to its cocky demeanor, nodded earnestly, and said,
"That’s right."
"Although I was refined into an Artifact Spirit, I’ve spent all these years continuously strengthening and refining my main body, so you could say I’ve broken free from the shackles of a limited lifespan."
"Hahaha!"
"Kid, what makes you think you can compare to this old man? When the time comes, maybe I’ll take pity on you and even look after your descendants..."
The Artifact Spirit roared with laughter.
In response to this, Su Chen paid it no mind.
Perhaps that day would truly come.
But when it did, who would be seeing whom off was another question entirely.
After all, he was truly immortal.
「At the same time.」
Inside Su Chen’s body, the dormant Wordless Book slowly turned its pages.
A line of text gradually appeared.
"Where... are you?"
"Why haven’t you fulfilled your promise and freed me...?"
Mr. Dayu Shu, who had been awake for a long time, could finally bear it no longer. He used the Wordless Book to reach across the World in the Palm and contact Su Chen proactively.
Regarding this, Su Chen fell into thought.
There weren’t many beings in the Palm of the Human World that still gave him pause.
The Empress was one.
This Mr. Dayu Shu was another.
「Meanwhile.」
On the distant Demon Mountain, a certain Little Turtle had swept through the entire mountain and been hailed as its new king. It stood atop the highest peak, looking down upon the entire Human World. Its aura was surging wildly, and a faint sense of pressure could be felt emanating from it.
That was the power of Severed Communication.
More than thirty years had passed since the Jianwu Period, when Su Chen had reversed life and death to hatch it, turning the Little Turtle into a Life and Death Profound Turtle.
Now, having become a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, it finally understood why it always used to forget.
’My bloodline mutated, and I became a Life and Death Profound Turtle... Is the Innate Divine Technique I awakened called Dao Concealment?’
’Sigh!’
The Little Turtle let out a long sigh, as if trying to release all the bittersweet sorrow of a life spent being forgotten.
In the distance, five auras belonging to Extreme Realm Immortals shot into the sky.
Five Daoists from the Immortal and Demon Sects, after many years, had finally taken the last step. They turned against their own Sects, becoming the very Extreme Realm Immortals they once entered the Palm of the Human World to exterminate.
"Fellow Daoists, since we have already rebelled, let’s cast aside all hesitation."
Below the Heaven-Ascension Tower, the five Daoists pushed open the Bronze Gate together, revealing a desolate and terrifying world before them.
However, an Ink Jade Little Turtle was swaggering along behind them, stepping into this new land with them. It was using them to find a path to the Mountain Sea Human World, but the strange thing was, though it made no attempt to hide, not one of them noticed it.
This was Dao Concealment!
The Innate Divine Technique of the Life and Death Profound Turtle.
"The Little Turtle is here!"
The Ink Jade Little Turtle shook its head, looking overjoyed.
