The Skill Card contained a martial art.
It was He Lieren’s most outstanding ultimate technique when he was alive.
It could release true energy and evolve into a clone to guide, disperse, and deceive others.
The 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.
That was the name of the martial art.
$u Jingxing browsed through the contents quickly. When he realized that it was a complete secret manual, he couldn’t help but feel comforted.
He didn’t manage to extract any Memory Cards, but acquiring an ultimate supportive art was pretty good too.
He was in no hurry to unlock the card.
After all, it wasn’t suitable to be cultivated outside.
And the time wasn’t right as well.
$u Jingxing took out his phone and made an anonymous call to the crematorium. He told the customer service the address of this place and asked for a team to come clean up the mess.
After ending the call, he sprang into the sky and headed straight for his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Back home.
After freshening up, Su Jingxing took out the Skill Card, unlocked it and obtained the complete version of the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.
He silently recited the entire volume in his mind. Moments later, he began to comprehend the martial principles within.
Su Jingxing’s martial arts talent was mediocre to begin with, and he had difficulty understanding martial arts that were slightly more profound.
If he was stuck with understanding, he naturally wouldn’t be able to cultivate them.
But things were different now.
After two substantial boosts of soul power, his perception, comprehension ability, memory, comprehension ability, logic, and so on had all been upgraded.
Even though there wasn’t a direct causation between strong soul power and good comprehension ability, powerful soul power was providential in deepening and strengthening one’s comprehension ability.
The 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations was a profound martial art.
In the past, Su Jingxing could only watch the show. If he wanted to cultivate them, he would have to rely on the Martial Arts Practice Card.
But now, in less than an hour, Su Jingxing had comprehended almost everything.
‘When it was almost dawn, he had already mastered the basics of the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.
Hu!
A ball of Heaven Trampling True Energy was released, swirling around the room.
When it stopped moving around, it continued spinning in a spot, twisting and turning.
At first, it formed an energy pillar, but gradually, the pillar turned into a cylinder, and slowly, the cylinder turned into a human with four limbs.
At the beginning, the limbs weren’t obvious, but they gradually became clearer.
The head, waist, palms, and feet followed.
Finally, the facial features, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth were carved out bit by bit.
When everything came to a stop, a silvery-black, translucent clone that had the same height, build, and facial features as Su Jingxing stood motionless on the ground.
Success.
Bam!
With a loud explosion, his true energy clone burst apart, transforming into countless strands of energy that stirred up a gust of air in the room. The wind stirred the pages and curtains, making them flap.
He failed?
No, it was still a success.
To be able to create a true energy manifestation meant success.
The reason why the explosion happened so soon was because Su Jingxing was only in the introductory stage.
It had only been a few hours, but he had already formed a true energy manifestation. It was impressive enough that it could last a few seconds.
Subsequently, as long as he cultivated diligently and reached the level where he could work freely, the amount of true energy manifestations he could produce would definitely increase, and so would the duration they last for.
Su Jingxing didn’t have high expectations. Three true energy clones were enough for his use.
36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.
This meant that he could condense as many as 36 clones!
Ci En Building.
In the top-floor office.
“So, who took the Flying Lion Ring in the end?” asked Lu Chen anxiously, looking at an expressionless middle-aged man expectantly.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” Lu Chen glared at him. “What kind of answer is that? How could you not know?”
“I don’t know means I don’t know,” said the middle-aged man coldly, maintaining his poker face. “The ring was in Han Shilong’s hand at the very beginning, But, Han Shishu was defeated by Di Donglei, and then Di Donglei was wounded by the Seventh Young Master of the Chen Family. The Seventh Young
Master was then defeated by the mysterious man, and the mysterious man was defeated by the Tenth Master of the Chen Family.”
“In the end, the Chen Family members left, and the ring was taken away by the mysterious man. However, on the way back, the mysterious man was attacked by another person again. He self-destructed on the southern bank of the Sky Water River. The crematorium’s Corpse Collection Team cleaned him
up.
“It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not,” snapped Lu Wuchang. “Anyway, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave Qinghe now. Staying here would only be a waste of time.”
“But I refuse to accept this!”
Lu Chen sighed. “I didn’t get a single of the four ancient books that can open the entrance of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. I didn’t even get a half of the Flying Lion Ring either. I’m so indignant.”
“How dramatic!”
Lu Wuchang commented disdainfully. “You’re indignant? So what if you’re indignant? Let me tell you something. All four of the ancient manuals have fallen into the hands of one person. Just give up and…”
“Wait!”
Lu Chen jerked his head up and stared at Lu Wuchang with shining eyes.
“What?” asked Lu Wuchang, glaring at him.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “Third Uncle, what did you just say? The four ancient manuals have fallen into the hands of one person? Are you sure? Are you sure?”
“Tm not sure, but I’m certain,” said Lu Wuchang with a confident smile.
“What do you mean?” asked Lu Chen. He ran over, grabbed a wheeled chair and scooted to Lu Wuchang’s side.
“Firstly, it’s my intuition. Secondly, it’s my guess after a lot of analysis.”
Lu Wuchang chuckled. “The person who revealed the secret that the four ancient manuals contain the map to the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin must have been up to no good. There are so many factions who want the treasures in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. So many people are searching for
it and gathering in Qinghe City. Among them, there must be someone who possessed one or two of the four ancient manuals from the very beginning.
“The two manuals kept by Xuantian University then also happened to be stolen. So many people were looking for them, but they couldn’t find any leads. This means that the two ancient manuals also fell into someone’s hands.
“Think about it. From the very beginning, if he had one or two from the start, together with the two stolen from Xuantian University, doesn’t that add up to a total of four?”
Lu Wuchang narrowed his eyes and pondered. “Since he has all four ancient manuals, if I’m not mistaken, this person is already preparing to open the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. There hasn’t been any news until now, so he’s probably waiting!”
“Wait?” asked Lu Chen, stunned. “For what?”
“Timing!”
Lu Wuchang smiled confidently. “If I’m right, a specific location and time is required to open the Mausoleum of Prince Qin!”
“Well…” said Lu Chen, gaping in shock and excitement.” Isn’t that even better?!”
“Since the other party is waiting, we can wait too.”
said Lu Chen excitedly. “Opening the Mausoleum of Prince Qin will definitely cause quite a stir, right? In the coming days, as long as we pay attention to every corner of Qinghe City, and rush over once we notice anything amiss, wouldn’t that allow us to get a ride with the other party into the Mausoleum
of Prince Qin?”
“No!”
Lu Wuchang blurted out.
“Why not?” asked Lu Chen indignantly.
“No means no!”
Lu Wuchang glared at him. “My instincts tell me that you’re sure to die if you go!”
“It… can’t be?”
Lu Chen shrank his neck and laughed dryly. “Don’t scare me, Third Uncle.”
“It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not,” said Lu Wuchang, crossing his legs. “In any case, you’ll die if you go. After you die, I’ll just stay out of Yu Nation for a few years. Wooing girls out there is the same.”
He had nothing else to say.
The yearning in his heart, or rather, the desire was not extinguished.
The treasure in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, one that allowed one to advance to the third-grade.
His desire for that wouldn’t go out that easily.
Besides, fortune comes with risk. Without taking risks, how could there be riches?!
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Strong winds howled and spiraled.
Inside the house, three balls of true energy were twisting and swaying.
Slowly, slowly, they transformed into a manifestation that entirely resembled Su Jingxing in terms of height and facial features.
With a thought, Su Jingxing’s three clones immediately separated and scurried around the house and courtyard.
They turned corners, sprinted, or jumped.
Five minutes later —
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The three clones exploded one after another and dissipated into three gusts of wind.
“It worked!”
Su Jingxing clenched his fists and smiled.
In half a month, without the help of the Martial Arts Practice Card, he successfully cultivated the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations to the level where he could use it with ease.
‘The three true energy clones could last for five minutes.
He had achieved his goal.
The next step was to open the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
Half a month had passed, and it was the night of the full moon again!
