Meeting Chen Mo Again, Choosing the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill

"Ten days later, Commander Zuo will return, and our Suppression Bureau will make a major move. Su Changqing, Ye Tian, you both must be here then," Jin Yichuan's voice echoed.

Su Changqing nodded slightly, holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and walked out of the great hall, gazing at the azure sky and taking a deep breath.

He had finally established a firm footing in the Suppression Bureau, holding the position of Deputy Thousand Household.

If Jin Yichuan hadn't intervened, Ye Tian would have been killed by him in the great hall today with no chance of survival.

Su Changqing never held back when he acted.

If you hold back, even a slight mistake can lead to a thousand-mile error.

Someone else could split your head open with a single strike!

"Logically, I can still choose two cultivation methods now. One will definitely be the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, and the other..."

Su Changqing strode forward, his eyes narrowing as he pondered in his mind.

He had the Overlord Saber for offense and the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art for close combat.

Even if he couldn't fully unleash it and turn into a golden figure under everyone's watchful eyes, once he cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.

He could not only greatly enhance his Profound Heaven True Qi again but also conceal the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.

"Although the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill is a Heavenly Gang realm technique, if it's truly cultivated to the thirteenth stage, it might be comparable to True Inheritance Grade."

The power of thirteen true dragons and thirteen giant elephants, how terrifying, it would likely be enough to shatter mountains, break rivers, and move mountains and fill seas!

But this was theoretical; even the creator of this technique likely never cultivated it to its peak.

Lifespan was limited, making it impossible.

Martial Saints lived only a little over two hundred years. No matter how powerful you were in life, how many people you killed, your Blood Essence as vast as the ocean.

At death, you would still be old and frail, with graying hair.

Ever since Su Changqing absorbed the secret treasures of Great Emperor Zhenwu and the Profound Heaven True Water, condensing his Profound Heaven True Qi.

He felt his lifespan had subtly increased.

By at least sixty years.

Great Emperor Zhenwu could ascend to immortality, and his secret treasures themselves were this formidable, showing their terrifying nature.

"I cultivate Profound Heaven True Qi and the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, my physical body is powerful, I can disarm opponents with my bare hands, and even Ye Tian's Seven Orifices Exquisite Body cannot contend with me."

Su Changqing's eyes narrowed, and he quickly made his decision.

He would learn another hand-to-hand combat technique.

The Eagle Claw Technique, chilling and tricky in the hands of the Iron Claw Flying Eagle, was broad and powerful in his, with fierce claw strikes.

Afterward, he arrived at the Great Shang Armory. Su Changqing first cupped his hands respectfully to the Azure Dragon guarding the armory.

"Deputy Thousand Household of the Suppression Bureau, Su Changqing, has broken through to Xiantian first level and has come to select two secret manuals."

Azure Dragon lay on a grand tutor's chair, a pair of gleaming sabers at his waist, the Xiu Chun and Dong Lei.

He was reading a classic when he glanced at Su Changqing, suddenly stood up, his expression changing.

A strong wind rushed towards Su Changqing's face, his hair fluttering in the wind. It was only then that he noticed how tall Azure Dragon actually was.

He stood up, a full two meters tall, robust and imposing, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples and sharp, tiger-like eyes, scrutinizing Su Changqing.

"Extraordinary! To reach the Xiantian realm in just half a month, and his bone structure has also changed. With malevolent energy entering his body, it seems he has encountered a great opportunity," Azure Dragon said with a smile in his eyes.

"Has the Overlord Saber been cultivated successfully?"

"I have just mastered the first strike," Su Changqing replied, cupping his hands.

Azure Dragon was a Heavenly Gang realm expert, not a god, so he couldn't discern what Su Changqing had cultivated. He only knew that this young man before him must have had an encounter with a great opportunity.

Everyone who broke through to Xiantian either inherited the techniques of their predecessors or found their legacies. Each had their own opportunities, big or small.

"With the Overlord Saber successfully cultivated, malevolent energy must have entered your body. You may go and choose a Buddhist cultivation method to practice in alternation." Azure Dragon pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The Overlord Saber contains demonic nature. The first strike possesses supreme power. My friend back then... alas." Azure Dragon sighed and said no more.

"Go quickly and choose a Buddhist martial art. In the future, for every strike you master, you must choose a corresponding technique. Remember, otherwise, if the demonic energy invades your body, you will lose all sense of reason and abandon your loved ones." Azure Dragon cautioned.

Su Changqing's heart stirred upon hearing this. He recalled that when he had just learned the Overlord Saber, there was indeed an irrepressible killing intent deep within his heart.

However, since cultivating the Black Tortoise Phenomenon and Profound Heaven True Qi, this killing intent had never reappeared.

This indicated that the Overlord Saber was still far from Great Emperor Zhenwu's level.

Profound Heaven True Qi greatly enhanced Su Changqing's physical body, allowing him to withstand strikes from opponents of the same level.

It could also suppress the demonic nature of the Overlord Saber.

"Azure Dragon friend, is he Guai Hai Yi Dao's father?"

Su Changqing didn't ask further, cupped his hands, turned, and left, heading straight into the armory.

He had originally planned to choose the Lotus Finger Technique from the Shaolin Seventy-two Ultimate Skills.

It could be used for offense and defense, to complement the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.

This is a Shaolin ultimate technique, also recorded in the Great Shang Dynasty Armory, which demonstrates the might of Great Shang.

Su Changqing first found the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, which he had already seen, on the first floor.

The technique was a thick book, nearly thirty pages long, covered in dust, untouched by anyone for years.

"Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, it seems to be a Buddhist technique as well. The highest guardian divine art of Tibetan Esotericism, a Heavenly Gang grade technique."

Su Changqing's eyes widened as he flipped open the first page.

"To cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, one requires excellent martial arts talent. Do not waste your time..."

First turn: one month. Second turn: one year. Third turn: three years. Fourth turn: ten years. Fifth turn: thirty years...

The sixth turn would take over fifty years.

The seventh turn would require a hundred years...

Good heavens, no wonder no one touched it. How many years does a person live in their lifetime?

Even the Lotus Finger Technique, a first-rate martial arts manual, was placed in the second-tier armory.

This technique, a Heaven Grade art, was only on the first floor.

Su Changqing felt like throwing it down and walking away.

"I have Profound Heaven True Qi, perhaps this technique can be mastered quickly. Moreover, only this technique can hide the fluctuations of my Indestructible Vajra Divine Art."

"Others will only think my Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill is progressing rapidly. Who would have thought I was cultivating a True Inheritance Grade technique..."

Su Changqing was silent for a moment, then finally took it and headed straight for the second floor of the armory.

From the second floor onwards, there were no more third-rate manuals; all were second-rate or above.

"Eighteen Falls Upon Touching, Great Strength Vajra Finger, Three Saints Saber Art..."

Here, there were far fewer manuals, only a few bookshelves. Su Changqing quickly found Shaolin's Lotus Finger Technique.

"There are still three more floors above. I wonder what is on the third floor and at the very top..."

Even a Commander could at most choose manuals from the second floor. Unless a great merit was earned, there would be a chance to go to the third floor.

"I probably won't need to accumulate merit."

Su Changqing still had a powerful backer, lying low like a hidden dragon.

In three months, he would be the Empress's main supporting character, and he would definitely be able to visit the top of the tower then.

"I still need to become stronger. Ji Xingyue has a very high favorability towards me. Her maternal uncle is likely not simple, capable of dismembering Chen Mo alive, which shows his ruthlessness."

Just as Su Changqing was about to turn and leave, he saw three figures coming up to the second floor. The leader wore a Flying Fish Robe and had a hooked nose; it was Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was chatting and laughing with the two Centurions beside him when he saw Su Changqing and froze in place.

His eyes trembled, and he almost suffocated on the spot.

"Greetings, Commander Su..." Chen Mo said, taking a deep breath and cupping his hands.

The two beside him only then noticed Su Changqing, their faces startled, and they quickly bowed in unison.

Su Changqing said nothing. His black clothes were like ink, making him appear like a god of slaughter. He walked through the path the three had cleared, his eyes calm and indifferent, and slowly went downstairs.

His steps were steady, making little sound as they touched the wooden floor, yet it felt like massive hammers striking the hearts of the three.

"Chen Mo, do not interact with us anymore from now on!"

One of the Imperial Guard Centurions stood there, realizing he was breaking out in a cold sweat. His whole body was soaked. He took a deep breath and said.
