Chapter 454: Chapter 219 Inquiring_2
“In general, it is still my Lengyue Palace that has the upper hand, but when talking solely about swordsmanship, it is indeed slightly inferior.”
Wei Ziyi candidly smiled and said, “You have a good personal relationship with Liu Suifeng; aren’t you worried that his injury might prevent him from reaching Tianqu City?”
“Not worried.”
Su Mo shook his head. “Master Liu possesses supreme martial arts. Even though he is somewhat injured, it is merely a way to further hone his swordsmanship. After this battle, his swordsmanship should have improved significantly.”
“…That’s right.”
Wei Ziyi sighed, “The disciples of your Ziyang Sect, although they have not been traveling in Jianghu much in recent years, are still well-informed… Right after Liu Suifeng’s incident, there immediately were those who saw it as an opportunity.
“Under the Yuan Shan Sword Sect, an ambush was laid for Liu Suifeng.
“The attacker was not only famous but also highly skilled.
“Nevertheless, Liu Suifeng, alone with his sword, defeated them thoroughly, turning the tables dramatically.
“His reputation and martial arts, with his continuous challenges, have indeed grown stronger.
“Carrying this momentum, the anticipation for Tianqu Sword must not be underestimated.
“Even though Wan Cangxin might not be his match, the Liu Suifeng that shows up to the event is very much looked forward to.”
Hearing this, Su Mo slightly furrowed his brow.
Liu Suifeng’s true aim was not to compete with Wan Cangxin in Tianqu City.
His actual goal was Youquan Sect.
However, this matter really should not be mentioned at this moment.
If Youquan Sect takes precautions, the outcome is hard to predict.
He shook his head, not dwelling on it further, but just then, a sudden spark of inspiration flashed in his mind.
“Ah!”
Wei Ziyi suddenly exclaimed, and Su Mo was startled, looking up at her:
“Did you think of something?”
“Think of what?”
Wei Ziyi flipped open the book she was holding, pointed at it, and said to Su Mo, “Look at this!!”
Motivated, Su Mo immediately went over to Wei Ziyi, took the book from her hand, and following the words, indeed saw the phrase ’Whale Swallowing Skill.’
He then breathed out deeply and told Wei Ziyi, “Not bad, not bad, you’ve already outlived your usefulness.”
“… Are you going to die or not?”
Wei Ziyi exploded in anger, “Let me see it too.”
Su Mo did not refuse, for how could a playful remark be taken seriously?
The two then carefully perused the book.
According to the book, the Whale Swallowing Skill originated from Nanhai.
Nanhai is vast and broad.
The path of martial arts there is diverse and brilliant, comparable to the splendid Donghuang.
There too lies a division between good and evil.
Once, a unique individual, inspired by observing a whale swallowing everything, created the Whale Swallowing Skill.
Its original intention was like a whale, absorbing all things into the body and transforming them into inner strength.
Using his body’s acupoints as containers, he took in objects and converted them into inner strength through a mysterious method, and strangely, it was effective.
He believed that storing inner strength in the acupoints, at the time of an encounter, the opponent could only use the energy from the Dantian Qi Sea, while he had inexhaustible inner strength in his acupoints.
Naturally, he could always remain undefeatable!
Afterward, step by step, he experimented and devoted half his life until he finally created half of the Whale Swallowing Skill.
As for why the latter half was not created, it was because, before this, the creator of the half Whale Swallowing Skill was burst by the immense inner strength within his body.
In the end, he was reduced to ashes.
He managed to achieve storage, but did not manage the transformation.
The final outcome goes without saying.
Since then, this skill circulated around Nanhai, passing through many hands.
Each derived different understandings from it.
The course of martial arts often depends on how it is practiced. Used rightly, it leads to righteousness; used wrongly, it errs.
One of them named this skill Whale Swallowing Skill.
It believed that those who practiced this skill transformed inner energy so rapidly it was unimaginably wondrous.
The flesh saturated with inner energy was deemed an extremely nourishing elixir.
Thus, they specifically captured refugees at sea, forcing them to practice this skill, not to seek solutions, but for the flesh-and-blood-made elixirs.
Regardless of what these practitioners of the skill ate excessively, they were eventually locked in cages.
Once their bodies exploded, the remains were collected for alchemy, with the resulting creation named the ’ren Pill.’
Later, perhaps feeling that the name ’ren Pill’ would attract covetous eyes and disapproval among the proud members of the Righteous Path, it was renamed the ’Transforming Origin Pill.’
This group, relying on this Transforming Origin Pill, indeed produced numerous experts who rampaged over Nanhai, committing countless evils.
Their cruel methods ultimately led to public outrage.
They were hunted by the experts of Nanhai and annihilated at sea.
Eventually, the entire sect was wiped out.
The record ends abruptly here.
Su Mo and Wei Ziyi glanced at each other, but the document did not mention what should be done with the Whale Swallowing Skill afterward.
How to avoid a fatal explosion.
Wei Ziyi turned a few more pages, then suddenly her eyes lit up:
“There’s more content.”
Su Mo had already taken this content to heart and after reading further, slightly furrowed his brow:
“The record here concerns how those who were forced to practice the Whale Swallowing Skill eventually solved it.
“It says that there were people in Nanhai who could break acupoints with silver needles and disperse the cultivated inner energy of the Whale Swallowing Skill.
“Thus preserving their lives.”
“It seems you must make a trip to the sea eventually.”
Wei Ziyi looked at Su Mo, her eyes sparkling, “Nanhai is vast, I do want to venture on the sea. How about calling Yang Family Sister and going out to sea together?”
Su Mo glanced at her: “Do you have the time for that?”
