Lord Shadow

Chapter 577: The pagoda of bearing evils (1)

The morning sun shows its face and Azief come out from his room as he went around the Temple

Azief spent twelve days inside the Temple. And today is the thirteenth day. He himself did not understand it.

He still remembers what happened twelve days ago.

At that time the monk opens the entrance gate and said he was waiting for him. He enters the Temple and then when he reached the Martial Arts Ground he ask to challenge the Abbot.

The monk turns out to be the Abbot.

He had expected to the Abbot to accept since everyone in the whole world knows that he had come down his mountain to challenge all martial arts school and sect

The Abbot then ask him whether the reason he wanted to fight him was because he wanted to learn the martial arts of the temple of Xi.

He nodded and instead of getting mad and being ambushed by dozens of grandmaster level combatant, the Abbot said to him

‘If that is the case, then there is no need for us to fight. I am the Abbot of Temple of Xi and this Penniless Monk had long heard the illustrious name of the Sword God and this Penniless Monk know that reputation is not an empty reputation. Since Patron had defeated the Old Master of the Cloud Abode, then if we fight, the victory would still not be possible for this Penniless Monk. And it is not like the Temple advocate us to fight people.

Azief then said since the Abbot had understood his desire to fight is to understand martial arts why would the Abbot would be so reluctant.

He did not come to tear down the reputation of the Temple and as a Monk what does reputation means anyway?

The Abbot then said that Azief had misunderstood him.

The Abbot then escorted him to the Martial Arts Library of the Temple which elicits shocks and disbelief from the Three Devils of Han and Xi Feng.

Everyone knew out of the many places in the Temple the most heavily guarded place is the Martial Arts Library

Even he was surprised.

This is more than just a welcome.

It is like giving him the key of the temple.

At first, he thought this must be a trap.

But in this world Azief did not fear nay traps. So instead of thinking too much about it, he enters the Martial Arts library and read all the martial arts book inside the temple.

The Three Devils of Han were not allowed inside the Temple library but his disciple is allowed. In three days Azief had read all of the martial arts book inside the Library

It enables him to complement even more of his supreme manual. By now, it is already ninety-nine percent complete.

And it will always be ninety-nine percent complete. Because, it is martial arts manual that could evolve.

Azief had always seek perfection. As such even his martial arts manual also had to be perfect. Azief found a lot of good things about the manual of the temple of Xi

Many of the martial arts basic skills of the temple seems to improve stamina, flexibility and balance which in turn improve the body abilities is doing martial maneuvers.

They also have a lot of internal energy skills that improve the body abilities to store internal energies and there are many methods written about ways to break through to grandmaster level.

It is no wonder why the Temple has so many grandmasters.

There is also the Seventy-Two Arts which include thirty-six soft fist technique and thirty-six hard fist technique.

It is one of the signature moves of the Monks of the Temple of Xi

Azief was not the only one that get some benefits because of this.

It would be more accurate that Azief only needed to see the martial arts performed in front of him or the manual to see through the crux of martial arts and its essence of powers.

Thus, the one that benefitted the most is his disciple.

Xi Feng use the time to read many of the martial arts of the temple. And the Monks of the Temple did not seem to care about this.

Even as Xi Feng keep reading the books inside the library, Azief was thinking why the Temple treats him this good.

It did bot appears that the Temple fears him that much and it was not like he came to the Tempe to kill people.

If the Abbot fought with him and shows his skill, Azief would not even think to ask for access of the martial arts library.

He might ask for something else but he would not ask to see the Martial Arts Library of the Temple.

That is what Azief don’t get. The temple did not have to give him access to the Temple library.

But they did it anyway.

There is something weird about this temple. Azief is also noticing that he couldn’t use his Divine Sense inside this temple.

It is even worse than when he tries to scan the Five Element Mountain with his Divine Sense. In the Five Element Mountain, when he tries to use his Divine Sense, his Divine Sense would be distorted a bit

But here, he got nothing. The seal forbids it and the heavens and the Will of this world also prohibits it.

That day when Azief broke that solid form of the Golden Palm, it gave the world its Will back and the Heaven is slowly formed.

If he wanted to use his Divine Sense to uncover all secrets of this Temple, he might be able to do it if he regains back all of his power.

The way he is now…he is incapable of doing such thing.

It is because of the seals. The three seals are still latching onto him eve after all the battle and the sword intent and the sword force that has manifested in Azief every moves.

By now all the three seals around his body all looked like it could be erased just by a simple push.

But still, it still is not erased. He had long had a premonition about his Temple.

He had long believed he would found his answer on how to break the seals here in this world.

Someone is making it easy for him to break the other seals, but also making it hard for him to break the last few seals. It was like they didn’t want him to suffer too much, but also not to be too fast.

The Seals broke off each time his Law Body comprehend the Laws of energies they were born from. That is how the seal is broken.

Azief believes that the breaking of his seal by using his comprehension is not only his doing but the doing of those who schemed against him.

Those ancient beings that hides in the darkness.

He had decided that this will be the last year and as such he come down the mountain.

The things he experienced in the journey ages him with experience but his objectives have always been the Temple.

And he was right.

Fom the moment he enters the temple he felt that loose restriction of the Heaven around him is slowly dispersing like this area is a space in itself.

It was then that he become certain that the answer to his last three seals lies here and it might have something to do with that mythical flute that is said to be only a tall tale.

And there is something else that was nagging him.
