Chapter 668: Inside the Ancient Pagoda
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
Xue Ying looked upwards . The pagoda was about 39 meters tall, it seemed ancient and simple, and did not show any special characteristics; it was ordinary by every definition of the word .
Going up the stairs, he went inside along with the old man .
The pagoda seemed completely empty, with the sole exception of a pure, sparkling and translucent, thumb-sized stone made of green crystal floating in mid-air . The drizzle of light it emitted brightened up the entire pagoda, causing Xue Ying to quieten down without even realizing it .
"This is…?" Xue Ying soon discovered countless words that were transforming within the drizzle of light emitted by the stone .
"Since you've passed the trials of the Three Devil Palaces, you are permitted to receive the inheritance left behind by the Ancestor Devil—the first scroll of the "Myriad Devil True Body" . Every person to have ever passed the trials is to get this scroll . Another part of the inheritance is the right to get a single treasure, but the nature of it will depend solely on your luck . Just grab any single item left behind by the Ancestor Devil within this treasury, and you will be allowed to keep it . " The white-robed old man chuckled . "If your luck is any good, you might even get an Ancient Demon to act as your servant . "
"Ancient Demon?" Xue Ying's eyes brightened .
"The weakest of them is at the Ruler realm . " The old man was deliberately enticing Xue Ying . "Naturally, never has there been a person who came inside this pagoda and left with an Ancient Demon . "
Xue Ying pursed his lips .
Clearly, the probability of getting something heaven-shattering was extremely low .
"This is the initial scroll of the Myriad Devil True Body . Hurry up and take a look . " The old man pointed towards the words that were transforming inside the drizzle of green light . "The "Myriad Devil True Body" is the strongest absolute art used by the Ancestor Devil, and this initial scroll is the most important one since it allows you to build up your fundamentals . To someone on the level of the Ancestor Devil, such a slight increase in strength isn't even worth mentioning, but many Paragons deeply desire it . You must understand, the Ancestor Devil has relied precisely on this"Myriad Devil True Body"to leave even the Lake Heart Island Master unable to deal with him . "
Xue Ying began trying his best to memorize the written words as soon as he calmed himself down .
He was clear of the value of this Myriad Devil True Body .
What was the reason so many sought the opportunities of the Three Devil Palaces?
Indeed, it was all because of this absolute art .
While the "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body" was a standardized absolute art the Lake Heart Island master created for the sake of his legion, as well as a simplified version for soldiers…
The "Myriad Devil True Body" was created by the Ancestor Devil for his own use and was the most significant success he achieved over an extended period of time . Not even the Lake Heart Island Master could match him in terms of this aspect . The Ancestor Devil had even used the ideology behind this absolute art to refine many of those powerful Ancient Demons .
This might just be the initial scroll, but it was still something many Paragons could only dream of obtaining .
'Truly enigmatic . ' Xue Ying was memorizing the countless words within the green light . They were continuously transforming, and the more Xue Ying memorized of them, the better he understood some of the meaning inherent within . It must be stated that the three fundamental secret techniques were all part of this initial scroll . Having already cultivated the three fundamental secret techniques, he would naturally have a better comprehension of this initial scroll even on first viewing .
Xue Ying looked through the scroll for close to an hour, then he instantly understood .
As soon as he gained a complete comprehension of those words, Xue Ying understood that these words were only meant as a form of guidance . Only after understanding the fundamental qualities of the initial scroll could it be said that he had learned its contents . Otherwise, there would be no point in looking at any more of these endless words .
"Have you learned it?" asked the white-haired old man . "Since you've successfully cultivated the three secret techniques, comprehending this initial scroll should pose no challenge to you . "
Xue Ying nodded .
"It seems there'll be a need to depend on external materials if I hope to succeed in cultivating this initial scroll," Xue Ying mentioned .
"It will be up to you to collect these materials . In truth, there is no real need to depend on external materials, if you don't mind spending a bit more time in your cultivation," explained the old man .
Xue Ying curled his lips . To cultivate it independently? He had just learned the contents of this initial scroll and was very clear that if he were to rely only on World Deity energy to transform his body, he might not finish even after ten billion years . Even if he spent all his time under the hundred times accelerated environment of his cultivation Eden, it would still be a full hundred million years in the outside world .
This was simply too long a time, and Xue Ying could not accept it; he was simply not willing to spend so much time cultivating a single absolute art .
Using external materials was so much faster a method . In fact, he could succeed in as short a time as ten thousand years .
"Come . " The white-robed old man pointed to the wall next to him, and a hole opened up in it . "Place your hand inside . Remember, you receive what you grab, and it all comes down to luck . "
