w.a.n.g Chong instantly focused on the ma.s.sive 'golden compa.s.s' behind the man, unprecedented shock rippling through his mind .

Two hundred years ago, the Origin Immortal Art did have successors, but it had been so long since they had vanished that they had been forgotten . The Yin Yang Wuji symbols on their robes served as the best evidence of their ident.i.ty .

In his last life, w.a.n.g Chong had heard of the might of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art, the world's number one art . Its reputation was an irresistible allure for all martial artists .

But w.a.n.g Chong had never imagined that this was how he would encounter the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art for the first time .

The Fierce Yang Divine Art of the Four Ends Martial Lord was formidable, but in the end, it could not compare to the world's supreme art .

w.a.n.g Chong watched as the golden compa.s.s vanished into the air . That successor of the Origin Immortal Art turned his eyes here and there, but as if he couldn't see w.a.n.g Chong, he turned back around and walked back into the cave, vanishing into the green mist .

After a long while, w.a.n.g Chong began to cautiously move backward .

Each successor of the Origin Immortal Art had been an astounding genius possessing transcendent power . Even a peak Imperial Great General would have been in grave peril against them .

In this dangerous environment, w.a.n.g Chong did not dare to be careless .

Whoooah!

As w.a.n.g Chong was backing away, the sound of a falling rock could be heard, and then a muscular figure rushed out of the mist-filled pa.s.sage and stopped next to w.a.n.g Chong .

"Lone Silence Ancestor, what's going on here?" w.a.n.g Chong said .

Although the two were technically rivals, the Lone Silence Ancestor had warned him just now, so he didn't seem to harbor any hostility . Moreover, they had worked together before, even if it had been an insincere alliance .

"Shh! Not so loud!"

The Lone Silence Ancestor put a finger to his lips . He appeared to have just experienced a major fright .

w.a.n.g Chong recalled what had happened and nodded, understanding that he was worried about that walking corpse .

"Ancestor, what happened just now? Why did the Four Ends Martial Lord die here? And what's in that cave?" w.a.n.g Chong said . He simply had too many questions on his mind .

"It's a long story, and the Four Ends Martial Lord had it coming to him . No one would have expected a successor of the Origin Immortal Art to appear in this underground palace . The Four Ends Martial Lord got careless and exchanged a few palms with him, resulting in all his meridians being snapped and causing his death . The Origin Immortal Art, the Origin Immortal Art… it truly deserves it reputation as the world's number one art . "

The Lone Silence Ancestor began to mutter to himself in shock and praise .

While he had been rather frightened, w.a.n.g Chong could also sense that he was bursting with praise for the invincible might of the Origin Immortal Art .

"Several hundred years ago, when the Origin Immortal Art had yet to be lost, there were a few secretive rumors going around the martial arts world . It was said that each successor of the Origin Immortal Art would at the very end return to the Origin Immortal Cave and become a guardian for the Origin Immortal Art . When I was in Youzhou, I came upon some ancient records noting this rumor . I didn't understand it back then, but now I do!

"The rumor was completely true . Even after their deaths, the successors of the Origin Immortal Art have continued to move around in this underground world, protecting the treasury . If my guess is right, this is the final barrier to the Origin Immortal Art . As long as we can get through it, we can truly enter the Origin Immortal Treasury and obtain that supreme art . "

As the Lone Silence Ancestor spoke, a hint of yearning mixed with unease appeared in his eyes .

"The people only know that the Origin Immortal Art has been lost for several hundred years, but very few people know that the Origin Immortal Art has actually always been pa.s.sed on after skipping a generation . A new successor will only appear every several hundred years, and there have already been six such generations of successors . In other words, there are still five more of those incredibly powerful Origin Immortal Art successors running around this underground s.p.a.ce .

"By making them the last barrier, the Origin Immortal Lord has essentially created a vast chasm for us to cross, which will not be easy . "

The Lone Silence Ancestor found it hard to suppress the tension and excitement in his voice .

The first successor of the Origin Immortal Art had been able to kill the Four Ends Martial Lord with just a few palms, and the remaining successors might be so powerful that not even the Lone Silence Ancestor could guess . But the more dangerous it was, the closer they were to success .

But pa.s.sing through this final barrier with his strength alone would probably be excruciatingly difficult .

w.a.n.g Chong said nothing . Even he couldn't help but be stunned by the information the Lone Silence Ancestor had divulged .

Six successors? It's usually more dangerous the deeper one goes in, so if we follow this rule, doesn't it mean that the other five successors are even more powerful? The weakest was able to shatter the Four Ends Martial Lord from the inside, so just how strong is the last one? If these six successors are that powerful, is there anyone in the world that could force their way through?

w.a.n.g Chong muttered to himself, his straight brows beginning to furrow .

Even before actually entering the pa.s.sage, w.a.n.g Chong could already feel an immense pressure . And this was not his only worry . The collapsed pa.s.sage couldn't hold off his pursuers for long, and they would probably be here soon .

w.a.n.g Chong had already noticed that there was only one pa.s.sage in front of him leaving this place .

And by spreading out his Psychic Energy, he knew that none of the other caves behind him had a way out .

If he went even farther back, he would essentially be throwing himself into the embrace of the Yellow Scarf Warrior .

For a moment, w.a.n.g Chong was caught up in a dilemma .

What do I do? What do I do? I have two minutes at most . I have to think of a way!

w.a.n.g Chong's face was calm, but his mind was slowly getting more and more worried . The dripping away of seconds was loudly ringing in his ears .

That interaction just now had let w.a.n.g Chong understand that he was no match for the Origin Immortal Art successor .

And the strength of the man with the three-eyed deer mask was even more unfathomable .

Buzz!

But as his eyes pa.s.sed over the Lone Silence Ancestor, w.a.n.g Chong suddenly had an idea .

"Right, Ancestor, how did you and the Four Ends Martial Lord get here? Did you not run into the Nightmare Beast or the Darkshadow Spider?"

w.a.n.g Chong had been confused about this the entire time . He had considered himself very fast, countering all the obstacles in his way . After expending great effort, he had finally arrived at this place .

But it seemed like the Four Ends Martial Lord and the Lone Silence Ancestor had never encountered the Darkshadow Spider or the Nightmare Beast and had arrived just the same, even faster .

This was simply unbelievable!

"This…"

The Lone Silence Ancestor hesitated, a look of surprise in his eyes as he raised his head . He clearly hadn't expected w.a.n.g Chong to ask this question . Finally, he explained .

"If I had met with you in any other place, I would have never told you, but since we're at the final barrier, there's no harm in explaining .

"The caves here are all connected, and there's naturally not just one entrance . And as t.i.tans of the martial arts world, we all have our special tricks . For example, Song Yuanyi with his sublime cultivation of the Eternal Spring Mantra can very easily notice any traps beforehand or use his control of vines or plants to draw those beasts away . He can even grow vines out of their bodies and root them to the ground . I don't have as many tricks as Song Yuanyi, but it's no problem for me to find one or two underground rivers . "

"Underground rivers?"

w.a.n.g Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise .

"Heh, no matter how deep you are, there will still be some water . It might be hard for you to sense it, but I was already able to sense the underground river's location from the surface . I just jumped in, and using this method, I was naturally able to avoid most of the traps left by the Origin Immortal Lord . "

The Lone Silence Ancestor smiled . He stroked his beard, appearing quite satisfied with himself .

After all, this was his own unique trick .

"So that's what was going on…"

w.a.n.g Chong shook his head and sighed .

He finally understood just how astonishing the techniques of the martial arts t.i.tans were . He had heard before that the Lone Silence Ancestor could control water, and if he could use an underground river to reach this place, the others undoubtedly had their own special skills .

"The Origin Immortal Lord is a mythical figure from one thousand years ago . The traps left behind by this kind of person can't be that easy to deal with . Forcing one's way through each one is nearly impossible and no one would ever… do… such… a thing…"

The Lone Silence Ancestor began to trail off, and as if realizing something, he looked up at w.a.n.g Chong .

"It can't be, right?"

w.a.n.g Chong clearly wasn't one to ask questions without reason . The Lone Silence Ancestor had believed that w.a.n.g Chong, just like him, had avoided the traps to finally reach this place, but from w.a.n.g Chong's reaction, this clearly was not the case .

"It seems that my luck was a little lacking . "

w.a.n.g Chong bitterly smiled .

Each person would have their own spells of good and bad fortune, and it seemed as if w.a.n.g Chong's luck in this case had been particularly poor, as he had probably chosen the most difficult path .

The Lone Silence Ancestor was so stunned that he could hardly speak .

w.a.n.g Chong nodded, indicating that he truly had forced his way through . In other words, w.a.n.g Chong had broken through all the vicious traps and savage beasts . Not even the Lone Silence Ancestor was capable of such a feat .
