Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: The Eight Great Realms_1

Ling Xiao and the other two quickly arrived at the Outer Moon Tower.

The name was different, but it was similar to the Ling Family’s Book Collection Pavilion, except that there were more books inside, and none were the incomplete martial arts books of the secular world. The worst ones here were almost transcendent martial arts, and there were also a considerable number of transcendent martial arts.

These could all be freely studied without any time restrictions, and there were hardly any identity restrictions either; being an outer disciple of the Moon Hua Sect was sufficient.

It should be known that in the secular world, almost transcendent martial arts were already the secret techniques that many martial artists dreamed of, not to mention transcendent martial arts, which were like stars in the sky, difficult to reach.

Unless one was exceptionally talented and had a master in the Transcendent Realm, could they possibly have more exposure to transcendent martial arts.

Of course, here transcendent martial arts were referred to as ”Gold Grade Martial Arts,” but the nature was the same.

Gold Grade—Yu Pin—Immortal Grade—Divine Grade!

This was the classification of martial arts beyond the secular world.

”By the way, apart from the four grades of gold, jade, immortal, and divine in the martial arts atmosphere, there are four sub-levels within every grade: beginner stage, rare, superior, and top-notch. You all know this, right?”

Wu Xiang was considerate enough to explain even this basic information.

”I’ve heard Master mention it.”

Both Ling Xiao and Leng Mei nodded in acknowledgment.

At this time, Ling Xiao basically understood that his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body should be categorized as Gold Grade Superior Martial Arts.

This also corroborated his past thoughts; the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was not unreasonable.

The Gold Grade Martial Arts learned by his previous opponents were all beginner level, not in the same class as his martial arts, so how could they possibly defeat him?

After parting from Wu Xiang, Ling Xiao went alone to look through the Gold Grade Martial Arts in the Moon Pavilion.

Only after entering the sect did he realize that there are no secret manuals for Gold Grade Martial Arts in the secular world, only mystic arts, and that was for a reason.

Most secular martial artists couldn’t compile these mystic arts into martial arts secret books, and even if someone did manage to compile them, they certainly wouldn’t be leaked easily.

But it was different within the sect.

In the sect, where experts abounded, Gold Grade Martial Arts mystic arts were nothing special. Compiling them into martial arts secret books after comprehending them was an extremely simple matter.

Thus, the Gold Grade Martial Arts he saw now were all in the form of secret manuals, rather than mystic arts stone tablets.

All of the Gold Grade Martial Arts in the Outer Moon Tower were beginner level, which he actually looked down upon because he had heard Old Baiyun say that after becoming an inner sect disciple, he would receive better Gold Grade Martial Arts.

Nevertheless, he copied all these beginner-level Gold Grade Martial Arts.

Not to use as techniques, but to plan on raising the grade of the Cloud Dragon Divine Movement and the Bull Demon Technique.

The Cloud Dragon Divine Movement was currently Gold Grade beginner level for body movement technique.

And the Bull Demon Technique was still among the top-notch martial arts, needing to be fed some Gold Grade Martial Arts. Doing so would certainly promote it to the rank of Gold Grade Martial Arts.

After copying them, Ling Xiao no longer paid attention to these martial arts secret books and went to another side to look at miscellaneous books.

The so-called miscellaneous books were books unrelated to martial arts, including astronomy, geography, and all knowledge about the Mysterious World.

Ling Xiao believed that while improving his strength, he should try to broaden his horizons as much as possible; otherwise, he would just be a frog at the bottom of a well.

He didn’t notice that Leng Mei had quietly left the Moon Pavilion.

Leng Mei returned to her residence, packed up her belongings, and then left a note for Ling Xiao.

She didn’t have the courage to say goodbye to Ling Xiao in person, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to let go.

Since there were few female disciples, she was living alone in a stone house, so there was no fear of the note being taken by others.

Leaving the stone house, she headed straight for the valley they had passed earlier, where the murderous aura made her feel very at home.

She believed that the murderous aura would only benefit her, with no downsides.

Turning back to glance in the direction of the Outer Moon Tower, she muttered to herself, ”My lord, wait for me!”

Then, with a leap, she plunged into the valley.

Within the valley, a vast shadow suddenly rose up, completely devouring her.

...

Ling Xiao was unaware of what had happened to Leng Mei; he was still engrossed in reading.

One of the books was a record of the ancient cultivation system, which Ling Xiao found to be an absolute treasure.

He had always known about the Martial Pulse Ninth Level and the Transcendent Realm.

Only later did he learn from Master Baiyun about the progression from the Martial Vein Realm to the Transcendent Realm and then to the Heavenly Man Realm.

Yet, it was from this book that he realized how ignorant he truly was.

It turned out the realm of cultivation went far beyond what he had known.

The path of cultivation was actually divided into the Martial Vein Realm, the Transcendent Realm, the Heavenly Man Realm, the Cave Heaven Realm, the Yin-Yang Realm, the Reincarnation Realm, the Human Immortal Realm, and the True Immortal Realm—a total of eight realms.

He had thought that Demonflame Celestial’s Heavenly Man Realm was unimaginably powerful, but now, it seemed quite like a frog in a well.

If it weren’t for this book, he would never have known about these realms.

According to the book, the strongest individuals on the Heavenly Dragon Continent were those in the Heavenly Man Realm; beyond that, unless there were hidden masters, there hadn’t been any discovery of stronger beings.

So, exactly what lay beyond the Heavenly Man Realm remained a mystery, as the records of the Moon Hua Sect simply had a blank space there.

The Moon Hua Sect was one of the Twelve Sects on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, an extremely powerful sect, and if they lacked such knowledge, it was likely that the other sects didn’t have it either.

It seemed that to find out about the realms above the Heavenly Man Realm, one would probably have to leave the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

However, the book also mentioned that during the Ancient Era, realms above the Heavenly Man Realm did indeed exist, and there were even experts who had reached the True Immortal Realm.

But, even in the Ancient Era, True Immortal Realm experts were exceedingly rare, and even the founder of the Moon Hua Sect, the Moon Blossom Fairy, was merely a Human Immortal Realm expert.

Closing the book, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and pushed this matter aside, then he turned his attention back to learning about the customs and cultures of the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

This continued for several shichen.

...

”Junior Brother Ling, Leng Mei has disappeared!”

Just as Ling Xiao was lost in the vast ocean of knowledge, Wu Xiang hurried over to find him, reporting that Leng Mei was missing.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned, quickly put down the book in his hand, and hurried over to Leng Mei’s residence.

The door was unlocked, and on the table was a note weighted down by an inkstone.

”My lord, Leng Mei originally wanted to protect you, but instead has become a burden. Thus, I wish to improve my strength by venturing out. Please do not worry, for I have found a suitable place to cultivate—Leng Mei!”

The note was brief, but its meaning was clear.

”Sigh!”

Ling Xiao had long harbored concerns, but he didn’t know how to persuade Leng Mei, for she was a girl of great stubbornness.

As long as nothing dire had happened, it was fine.

Ling Xiao had once tested Leng Mei’s potential by dripping a drop of his blood into the Seven-Star Flower within his Mountain and River World.

This formed a special connection between him and Leng Mei.

Though he couldn’t pinpoint Leng Mei’s location, if anything happened to her, he would sense it immediately.

Since there was nothing unusual about that drop of blood now, it indicated that Leng Mei hadn’t encountered any trouble.
