Savage Force

Four members of the Wang family snuck into the Scripture Repository Pavilion. In their conversation, they showed disdain for Shangqing Palace, mainly because the Old Ancestor of the Wang family had broken through to the Grandmaster realm, giving them immense confidence.

"I've already inquired thoroughly. This Scripture Repository Pavilion is only guarded by a centenarian, who is said to be Li Qingshan's senior brother, but his cultivation is mediocre, not even Xiantian. Why should we be so cautious?"

"Exactly. The weakest among us is already at the Xiantian realm. It'd be more than enough to bully an old man, no need to act like thieves, tiptoeing around. Old folks have tinnitus, they won't hear us."

"Don't be careless. We haven't received permission, after all. We're here to find the follow-up cultivation methods for Savage Force. We should still be careful."

"Cousin is the tenth strongest of our Wang family's current generation. His Savage Force cultivation is already perfected. He broke through to the Grandmaster realm in his early twenties, truly a dragon among men. If it weren't for the incomplete Savage Force technique, he would have definitely climbed higher in the rankings among the ten strongest in the family. As long as we help Cousin find the follow-up cultivation methods for Savage Force, then Cousin's rise will be our rise."

The man surrounded by the three Wang family disciples was tall and burly, with a head of naturally curly brown hair that exploded outwards. His face was square, and his brows carried a hint of wildness. He heard this and said, "We all came from the same grandfather, so naturally, I'll look out for you all. Enough nonsense, help me find Savage Force. Once I obtain the complete Savage Force, I will surely cultivate the Savage Great Strength, shatter the heavens, and crush the universe. At that time, becoming the second Old Ancestor of the Wang family won't be impossible."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately began to flatter him, showering the cousin with praise.

As they spoke, they arrived at the Scripture Repository Pavilion.

"Cousin, this Scripture Repository Pavilion is so quiet. Where is the centenarian guard?" one of the younger cousins asked.

The cousin was a Grandmaster and possessed a Grandmaster Domain. Hearing this, he expanded his domain, searching for any trace of Li Jiusheng.

His Grandmaster Domain extended eighteen li!

Li Jiusheng, who was on the roof of the Scripture Repository Pavilion, raised an eyebrow. He exerted a slight force on his own domain, distorting the cousin's perception. This made the cousin believe he had found Li Jiusheng, who was supposedly sleeping soundly in the tea room.

The cousin chuckled, "That centenarian fell asleep long ago. Old people sleep heavily, let him sleep. We can search with peace of mind, one person per floor. Make sure to find Savage Force."

The three younger cousins immediately began their search.

The cousin went straight to the fourth floor, his gaze sharp as he searched through a pile of secret manuals.

Li Jiusheng sat on the eaves, his gaze cold. These Wang family brats were truly arrogant, vowing to take over Shangqing Palace. Did they really think that having produced an Old Ancestor meant they could overthrow their former masters?

"What kind of technique is Savage Force? Why haven't I seen it before?" Li Jiusheng thought to himself. He had guarded the Scripture Repository Pavilion for over a decade, but he had no idea how many secret manuals were stored here.

After all, Li Jiusheng's talent was poor in the past, and he couldn't understand the secret manuals, so he naturally didn't pay attention. Now, it was different. He didn't act immediately because he wanted these Wang family brats to help him find Savage Force.

"You want my Shangqing Palace disciples to go on a suicide mission to scout ahead, and now you'll be making wedding dresses for me." Li Jiusheng sneered inwardly.

Inside the Scripture Repository Pavilion, the cousin was diligently searching.

His gaze was stern as he flipped through the secret manuals. If it wasn't Savage Force, he put it back. His goal was singular, ignoring everything else.

"Savage Force is a supreme art from the Outer Domain. It has produced many Old Ancestors in the past, always dominating their era. Its power can shatter the heavens. It is definitely suitable as my supreme martial art. Just the first part allowed me, a child who was once ignored, to become the tenth strongest of the Wang family's current generation. If I obtain the complete Savage Force, I have hope of challenging the current number one." The cousin muttered to himself, as if reinforcing his own confidence.

His fate had changed only after obtaining Savage Force, so he knew better than anyone else its power and terror.

Li Jiusheng sat on the eaves, listening silently, and also learning about Savage Force.

"That group of fools also said that the Old Ancestor plundered secret manuals when he left Shangqing Palace back then. Why would he plunder Savage Force? It's extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a very high entry barrier. Most people are not suited for it, and those who are don't usually choose it because only a small portion are suitable. But why didn't they consider that the Old Ancestor was so intelligent and wise? How could he not know Savage Force? Since he chose this cultivation method, there must have been a reason. As expected, I succeeded. Once Savage Force is mastered, it can break through anything. Only then did they realize, but unfortunately, only I have the Savage Force manual. I kept it on me personally, unknown to anyone." The cousin's words were filled with pride. Because of Savage Force's peculiarity, no one paid attention to it, not even a copied version existed. He had directly taken the original, making it impossible for others to cultivate, thus ensuring his uniqueness.

"Heh, what a clever little trick, knowing to carry Savage Force with him. This is just making it easier for me," Li Jiusheng's lips curled.

He also realized why no Shangqing Palace disciples practiced it. The fundamental reason was that the savage bear had rebelled and taken away the first part of Savage Force. Shangqing Palace disciples couldn't even get started. Even if they had the follow-up cultivation method, they couldn't practice it. Thus, for so many years, this peerless secret manual, brought back from the Outer Domain by the Grandmaster, had been gathering dust.

If not for this cousin of the Wang family sneaking into the Scripture Repository Pavilion, Savage Force would have continued to be shelved and ignored.

"Haha, found it!" Suddenly, the Wang family cousin shouted excitedly. His voice wasn't loud. In a corner of a bookshelf on the fourth floor of the Scripture Repository Pavilion, the cousin picked up a dusty manual as if he had found a treasure. After dusting it off, he carefully opened it and examined it intently, his body trembling with excitement.

"It's this! This is the follow-up cultivation method for Savage Force. The subsequent cultivation of this technique requires transforming all one's strength into savagery. Then, a single punch would be equivalent to an entire savage era crashing down, obliterating the opponent into dust and bones." The cousin trembled with excitement, flipping through it intently, his eyes burning with fervor.

"With this, I have hope of breaking through to the Grandmaster realm. Then, my family will be mine, and this vast Shangqing Palace will also be mine. I will use this as my foundation to reach even greater heights." The cousin began to fantasize about the future.

"Is that so?" But a soft voice quietly landed on the fourth floor. In the silent Scripture Repository Pavilion, Li Jiusheng's slightly questioning voice rang out, startling the cousin. He immediately became serious, his body tensing, muscles bulging. With a swish, he put Savage Force into his storage magical treasure.

"Who are you?" the cousin questioned sharply, his gaze extremely serious. He knew he had encountered a master. He had been searching here for so long without any disturbance, and as soon as he found the Savage Force manual, this person appeared. It was obvious he had been used as a laborer.

Did this person hear everything he just said?

Thinking this, the cousin's mind instantly surged with blood, his eyes turning red. His greatest secret had been overheard, making him feel as if he had been stripped naked and paraded down the street.
