Chapter 1997: Chapter 965:
“I have here a Void Evasion Technique, a Void Law Body, and a Void Illusion. They complement this Void Lock. Do you need them?”
Just as Chen Mobai was about to stand and leave, the old man put down the pipe in his hand and pulled out three volumes, each missing its cover, from the torn sleeve of his robe, asking as he did so.
“Let me check the goods.”
Chen Mobai, filled with curiosity, listened to the old man’s cultivation level with Echoes in the Void as he accepted the three volumes, discovering it was only at the Core Formation Middle Stage, which put his mind at ease.
“Thirty Superior Grade Spirit Stones.”
The old man extended his hand for the Spirit Stones, and Chen Mobai nodded, handing them over, then began to look at the volumes.
The Void Evasion Technique, an escape skill, is a fusion of Void Walking and Great Void Transference. When fully mastered, it’s said to allow one to enter the Netherworld, stride across the Nine Heavens, and even step directly into the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm!
This was Chen Mobai’s first time seeing a spell of this type in the Tianhe Realm that was more exquisite than those of the Immortal Gate.
The Void Evasion Technique encompasses both Void Walking and Great Void Transference but surpasses them both.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai’s expression turned into one of amazement.
Such a method is unlikely to be something Taixu MiaoMiao Palace would willingly let out.
He suppressed his inner shock and began to read the second volume, Void Law Body.
The Five Elements Sect has a body training technique for Core Formation parts, but compared to the Void Law Body he obtained from Mountain Shaker Peak, what Chen Mobai now held was more detailed and exquisite. Just reading one-third of it already reached the Perfect Core Formation Realm; the remaining two-thirds, besides Nascent Soul Formation, could it also contain Divinity Transformation?
Chen Mobai wanted to read further, but found he couldn’t turn the pages, with restrictions he hadn’t even detected.
He looked up at the old man in front of him, who was squinting as he puffed smoke.
“I’ll buy all three of these.”
Chen Mobai handed over an additional sixty Superior Grade Spirit Stones to the old man. After accepting the stones, the old man tapped each of the three volumes with his pipe, infusing them with a subtle, clever spiritual power, and the restrictions were lifted.
Chen Mobai immediately checked the remaining two-thirds of the Void Law Body but found it contained only content on cultivation up to the Nascent Soul Complete.
Disappointed, Chen Mobai did not expect to have such luck as to buy a Deity Transformation Technique for a bargain.
He then proceeded to look at the final volume, Void Illusion!
Like the Void Lock, it is a spell that uses the Power of Void to create an illusionary space, within which one can fabricate scenes they want others to see. When cultivated to the highest degree, it could even transcend the distances of heaven and earth, with the illusion made in the Lower Realm while one resides in the Upper Realm, conveying whatever message one wants others to see!
Reading this, Chen Mobai’s eyes widened, and he sharply looked up at the old man.
This Void Illusion, as described, would probably be a closely guarded secret even in Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, known only to a select few!
Who exactly was this old man in front of him?
This certainly wasn’t something Taixu MiaoMiao Palace would dare release!
“What, dissatisfied with the content in the rear? The rules are here, business is voluntary. However, I have a kind heart. If you feel cheated, I’ll return the Spirit Stones, and you shall return all four volumes and swear never to reveal the contents to a second person.”
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Chen Mobai used Echoes in the Void and the Void Spirit Eye to probe back and forth but only sensed that he was just a Golden Core Cultivator.
“The items are excellent, and I’m very satisfied!”
After a moment of thought, Chen Mobai decided to keep the four volumes, with any thought of verifying them with Zhang Pankong now gone.
Should these things be known to have leaked from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, they’d probably pursue him relentlessly unless he joined their sect.
“But please, old sir, don’t tell anyone I purchased these things.”
Chen Mobai said a word, and the old man nodded repeatedly, squinting.
“Naturally, naturally, the rules are known, business is surely confidential.”
Following this, Chen Mobai looked at the other volumes, discovering all were strange and unparalleled spells and cultivation techniques, with the described power being exaggeratedly strong, but Chen Mobai lacked the capability to discern them, leaving them with some regret.
After departing from the stall, Chen Mobai wandered elsewhere, hoping to find more good things.
Unfortunately, in this outer region, even techniques that could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm were few and far between and hard to distinguish as authentic or fake.
Seeing that it was late, Chen Mobai turned and returned to his Five Elements Sect courtyard.
Passing by that stall, the old man was still puffing smoke.
Time soon reached the evening, with each cultivator packing up their stalls. The old man seemed lost in the smoke until he was the only one left, then put down his pipe.
After opening his eyes, a silver gleam flashed, and he gently tapped the mat with his pipe. Subsequently, both he and the rip-off-covered volumes vanished like illusions.
If Chen Mobai had witnessed this scene, he would have noticed that it was exactly as described by the “Void Illusion.”
The next day, after pondering over the four volumes all night, Chen Mobai found them increasingly profound and marvelous. Opening his eyes, he reached for the Void Evasion Technique beside him to read once more, only to find that all the text had disappeared.
