Lu Chen walked to the corner, bent down, and reached out to push away the thick dust and cobwebs.
His movements were very light, as if he was not brushing away dust, but uncovering a secret buried by time.
When the fingertips touched the roll of animal skin, a strange feeling of warmth and thickness came, as if touching an ancient tortoise shell.
His heart moved and he knew he had found the right one.
He picked up the roll of animal skin and unfolded it gently.
I don't know what kind of animal skin Demon Beast is made of, but it still maintains amazing toughness after a long time.
It contains an extremely ancient text, Cultivation Method. Fortunately, in the basic education of Demon Suppression Division, there is a special explanation of this type of ancient text.
<Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art>.
Just seeing these four words, the <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> in Lu Chen's body started to move on its own, resonating with joy.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully read the contents on the animal skin scroll.
The more he looked, the brighter the light in his eyes became.
This is indeed not a battle Cultivation Method.
It does not teach people how to kill enemies, nor how to luck. Instead, it explains a supreme method of completely converging one's own breath, heartbeat, body temperature, and even soul fluctuations, and integrating them with the surrounding environment.
Once you practice to a high level, with a single thought, you can transform into a stubborn stone, a tree, a grain of dust, or a wisp of air. To truly achieve "Celestial Person is one, and all things are unknown" is the supreme secret technique for sneaking, assassinating, and preserving life.
But soon, Lu Chen also discovered its problem.
This Cultivation Method is incomplete.
The animal skin scroll only records the method of how to converge to the extreme, but it does not mention at all how to explode the power condensed to the extreme after the convergence, nor does it explain how to transform the converged state into other forms.
This is like a magic weapon. It only teaches you how to put the sword into the scabbard perfectly, but it doesn't teach you how to draw the sword or how to take it out of the scabbard to kill the enemy.
For the vast majority of warriors, the value of this Cultivation Method will be greatly reduced.
It is far less cost-effective to spend a lot of energy to practice a fragmentary art that can only be used to "pretend to be dead" than to learn an immediate killing technique.
No wonder it was abandoned in such a remote corner, gathering dust to this day.
Lu Chen fell into deep thought.
He looked around, and all the Xuanji Cultivation Method that were carefully preserved in jade boxes exuded a powerful aura and were full of temptation.
Success in any discipline is enough to increase his combat effectiveness.
He has Demon Suppressing Saber Technique and Divine Firmament Talismans, as well as powerful defense and strong internal strength given by <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>.
Among those at the same level, his offensive and defensive abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.
What he really lacks is a trump card that can keep him alive.
A trump card that can make him disappear silently and save his life when faced with the danger of an invincible Law Power enemy.
Knowing how to kill is brave.
Knowing how to hide oneself is wisdom.
Although this <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art> is incomplete, its concept of "convergence" and the meaning of "hibernation" and "longevity" of <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> are simply a match made in heaven, a perfect fit!
As for the incompleteness...
Lu Chen's mouth curved up in an imperceptible arc.
What is a difficult problem for others may not be unsolvable for him.
He no longer hesitated at all and made a decision in his heart.
The moment he made up his mind and chose to rub this fragment, the ancient and mysterious silver book in his mind silently emerged with lines of pale golden handwriting.
[Trace the root cause, start up, consume Demon Devil Lifespan 38 years]
Lu Chen took a breath of cold air. This same trace of the origin only took one year before, but now it has taken a full 38 years.
[Detected Xuanjie high-grade broken chapter <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art>...]
[It has been determined that this Cultivation Method has 97% homology with the host's foundation Cultivation Method<Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>, which perfectly matches the characteristics of the host's soul.]
[Demon Devil Lifespan can be consumed to complete, deduce and practice.]
Seeing these few lines of words, the last trace of doubt in Lu Chen's heart disappeared.
He made the right bet!
This fragment, which everyone regards as useless, will shine with real light in his hands! It will become the most important and secret talisman for him to walk in this treacherous world in the future!
He immediately followed the rules of Armory, took out a blank rubbing Jade Slip, and imprinted the entire content of <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art> into it.
After doing all this, he carefully put the animal skin roll back to its original place and covered it with dust, leaving no trace.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Lu Chen is satisfied and ready to leave.
However, the moment he turned around and prepared to go back the way he came -
"Boom!"
A heartbeat that seemed to come from ancient times, heavy and depressing, with a throbbing that froze the soul, came quietly from the deepest part of the second floor of Armory, behind a thick stone door sealed tightly by countless thick iron chains with flashing runes.
The throbbing only sounded for a moment and then disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion.
But all the hairs on Lu Chen's body stood on end at this moment!
That heartbeat seemed to hit Lu Chen's soul directly.
Just a trace of escaping breath made him feel a pressure thousands of times more terrifying than all previous martial arts will combined. It was a kind of pure violence and death that wanted to destroy everything and devour everything.
Lu Chen's first thought was to run away!
He forcibly suppressed the curiosity and impulse deep in his heart that wanted to find out, turned around without hesitation, and walked quickly towards the stairs he came from.
He knew very well that what was behind that door was a taboo that exceeded the limits of his current knowledge. Before he has enough strength, any curiosity is a shortcut to death.
The top priority is to transform the benefits obtained into real strength as soon as possible!
Lu Chen left the second floor of Armory quickly, without even saying hello to Clerk Chen, and went straight back to the temporary residence assigned to him by Imperial Guard Camp.
This is an independent quiet room. Although it is simple, it is quiet enough.
He locked the door and placed a simple warning and restraint, then immediately sat down cross-legged, and his mind sank into his mind.
"System!"
The ancient Bronze Tome appeared in response.
[Confirm the high-grade fragment of the Mysterious Rubbing Grade <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art>.]
[Option 1: Complete Cultivation Method. Estimated consumption of Demon Devil Lifespan: thirty years.]
[Option 2: Complete Cultivation Method, and directly deduce the cultivation to the level of Xiaocheng. The estimated consumption of Demon Devil Lifespan: eighty years.]
Looking at the options that popped up on the panel, Lu Chen didn't hesitate at all.
He killed Zhang Tao, Zhou Tong and others, and accumulated Demon Devil Lifespan, which still has a hundred years left.
"Option 2!"
