Chapter 135: Dark Clouds Obscure the Moon_2
His few remaining teeth were so sore they were about to surrender.
Exactly at noon.
Five elderly men, full of reverence, faced danger without regard for their lives, truly worthy of being called big shots.
They led Su Yue, this big shot, to a room.
In the room, there was a large square desk.
The surface of the desk was covered with crack lines resembling cobwebs, secretly glanced at, as if it might shatter at any moment.
"That desk represents one-third of the Moon Nether True Scripture.
"As long as your palm touches the surface of the desk, the Spiritual Qi inside will open up your acupoints. Then, whenever you meditate with Breath Circles, the power of the Heart Method will ignite in your acupoints, helping you to devour Spiritual Power faster.
" Da She Wan introduced.
"I understand, senior."
Su Yue looked at the desk surface gravely.
Finally obtained it.
This is also something Dad left for him.
"This stone slab is already on the verge of shattering; it will likely shatter completely after helping you open your acupoints. Treasure it, as this is the final swan song."
Black Chess Piece approached, and with reluctance, gently stroked the stone slab.
"Senior, something's not right.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Moon Nether True Scripture slab on the West Martial Fuling Mountain should be the same as this one. But the West Martial's slab can still be used, with ten people going to absorb it each year, and it's said to last another year."
Su Yue was full of doubt.
The last time.
This is too heavy.
"Don't listen to West Martial's exaggerated boasts. I estimate that after this year, the West Martial's slab will definitely shatter by next year.
"In those years, when West Martial failed to protect the Moon Nether True Scripture against the evil followers of the Yangxiang Sect, they infiltrated and cleaved the slab into two parts, taking away a smaller part. The remaining larger part still has about two-thirds of the area.
"The demonic weapon the Yangxiang Race used to cleave the slab carries corrosive demonic energy.
"So the half slab left at West Martial was split again.
"Initially, West Martial's failure in guarding makes them unworthy to keep the Moon Nether True Scripture slab. However, West Martial did contribute back then, so they left half of the half.
"The other half that was cleaved, Da Niu brought back to the nursing home.
"Secondly, splitting the West Martial's slab was a last resort. Had it not been timely, the demonic energy would have spread across all slabs, and West Martial's piece wouldn't have lasted this long.
"The demonic energy corrodes the Spiritual Qi in the slab, accelerating its decay.
"Da Niu took the decaying slab back to the nursing home, which is the one you see now. The far end, far from the Yangxiang Race's cut edge, was left at West Martial. Although untouched by demonic energy, over the years, the Spiritual Qi used for students' acupoint opening is already nearly depleted."
Second Girl detailed.
Su Yue nodded.
So that's how it is.
The slab was cut by the Yangxiang Race with an evil weapon; the cut releases demonic energy.
The Yangxiang Race took away the smaller half.
And the remaining half, with a cut that retained demonic energy.
Grandmother Da Niu split the remaining slab again.
The demonic slab was brought back to the nursing home.
What remained at West Martial was the purest slab.
But even purity can't withstand the ravages of time.
Anyway, in a year or two, the Moon Nether True Scripture will no longer exist.
This truly is a sad story.
"Only a handful of people have used this corroded stone slab.
"Su Qingfeng, Mu Jingliang, and Yan Chenyun from the Zhenqin Corps, Wang Yetao of the Qin Legion… There are one or two others you probably wouldn't know.
"And the others should all be dead.
"Those able to cultivate two-thirds of the Moon Nether True Scripture are about six or seven people.
"And you are the final one, the terminator."
Black Chess Piece patted Su Yue on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Su Yue was astonished.
Father.
Father-in-law.
And two to three others had all cultivated two-thirds of the Moon Nether True Scripture.
No wonder Father wanted me to cultivate it; this Heart Method is indeed formidable.
Bear in mind, Mu Jingliang was a Corps General of Divine Land.
"Actually, in Divine Land, there are many Heart Methods not inferior to the Moon Nether True Scripture, but many people still wish to be associated with the title of World's First.
"You must realize, those who practice two-thirds of the Moon Nether True Scripture are either Corps Generals or members of the Cabinet. You can't undermine the prestige of the Moon Nether True Scripture, especially as you are the last successor, hence you must not slack off in your cultivation."
Da She Wan instructed.
"Yes, I understand, senior."
Su Yue nodded solemnly.
"Huh, something's off.
"My dad, when the incidents happened, was only a minor governor; he hadn't achieved much."
Su Yue suddenly inquired.
"What do you know as a kid? Su Qingfeng's situation is special; he was the youngest and hadn't had his time yet.
"Don't worry about others, just focus on yourself."
Black Chess Piece said.
"Alright, I understand, senior."
Su Yue nodded again.
No need to ask more.
When I become stronger, I must save Dad.
"When you cultivate the Moon Nether True Scripture, a mural of a dragon circling the moon will appear behind you, which is also an anomaly of the Heart Method."
"Currently, you haven't broken through to Grandmaster. Once you reach Grandmaster, this mural anomaly will appear anytime, anywhere.
"Unfortunately, the Moon Nether True Scripture is missing a piece. The acupoints opened aren't enough. The slab here in the nursing home can produce a dragon anomaly in the energy nexus. The West Martial's slab can form a half-moon. And the remaining half-moon cut away by dark clouds, resting with the Yangxiang Race, will never appear in this world again."
Second Girl regrettably explained to Su Yue.
Anomaly?
So that's why.
No wonder, when Mu Jingliang self-destructed, a terrifying dragon phantom hovered in the sky.
