Great Li Martial God

Hearing this, Li Musheng’s eyes lit up.

Immediately, his figure moved toward the dark space the Azure Dragon Elder had come from earlier.

Seeing this, Bu Chengyang also quickly followed.

Before long, Li Musheng found an old book that had been flipped through until it was nearly falling apart in a stone cave deep within the dark space.

He casually flipped through it a few times and confirmed this was undoubtedly the Azure Dragon Profound Darkness Scripture the Azure Dragon Elder had cultivated.

That old man had obviously regarded this cultivation method as a treasure, so he had kept it with him all along, leaving it behind in the stone cave where he lived.

Bu Chengyang in the distance saw this scene, and a trace of envy flashed across his face.

The cultivation method the Azure Dragon Elder had practiced was absolutely a supreme divine technique capable of dominating the martial world.

To say he had no interest in it would naturally be impossible. It was just that the Azure Dragon Elder’s martial Dao strength was far too powerful. Even though he had already advanced to the Heaven-Human Realm for some years, he still wasn’t his opponent.

When facing the Azure Dragon Elder earlier, he could only retreat and yield, not even daring to compete with him for Azure Dragon True Qi.At this moment, Li Musheng casually flipped through the cultivation method in his hand page by page.

His eyes swept over ten lines at a glance. He spent hardly any time at all before memorizing the entire secret manual.

Then, with a casual flick of his hand, that tattered book transformed into flying ash drifting in mid-air.

Bu Chengyang inwardly lamented what a pity. From this point forward, the Azure Dragon Profound Darkness Scripture would probably only be known by Li Musheng alone.

If he wanted to obtain this cultivation method from the other party, who knew how many times more difficult it would be than facing the Azure Dragon Elder.

However, although he had some interest in this object, it wasn’t something he absolutely had to obtain.

And now facing Li Musheng whose martial Dao cultivation was unfathomably deep, he could hardly muster any covetous thoughts about it in his heart.

”Now that I have the cultivation method, the only thing left is the Azure Dragon True Qi.”

Li Musheng stroked his chin and turned to look at Bu Chengyang.

Hearing this, Bu Chengyang naturally knew what Li Musheng meant and continued answering his earlier question, ”There is indeed an extremely considerable mass of Azure Dragon True Qi sealed beneath Dragon Lock Well Ward underground. But because it’s trapped by mechanism locks, outsiders simply can’t completely extract it.”

”Even the Azure Dragon Elder who cultivated the Azure Dragon Profound Darkness Scripture, after secretly attempting for over ten years here, still couldn’t extract the sealed Azure Dragon True Qi. He could only rely on collecting Dragon Pearls that occasionally escaped to practice his technique.”

Li Musheng frowned slightly and said, ”You mean to say that only by completely breaking through the mechanisms underground can one obtain the Azure Dragon True Qi within?”

Bu Chengyang nodded gently, but then shook his head again, saying, ”By rights, that’s indeed the case. However, there are exceptions to everything. I think if we can obtain Great Li’s Imperial Dragon Divine Sword, perhaps we’d have a chance to use this sword to bypass the mechanisms and draw out the Azure Dragon True Qi within.”

”Oh?”

Li Musheng frowned, looking at Bu Chengyang before him with no small amount of doubt, ”Is this method you’re talking about something you imagined out of thin air, or is there actually some basis for it and is it truly feasible?”

Hearing this, Bu Chengyang hesitated uncertainly for a moment, then gave a dry laugh and said, ”To be honest with Young Hero, this method has both elements of my own conjecture and speculation, as well as some circulating theories in the martial world that can corroborate it.”

Speaking thus, he continued to explain aloud, ”According to my understanding, when the Great Qi imperial dynasty forged the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword back then, the Azure Dragon True Qi they used and the Azure Dragon True Qi sealed in the underground mechanisms here come from the same root and source.”

”Originally, the mass of Azure Dragon True Qi that Great Qi collected was extremely large. Part of it was used on the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword, while the majority of the remaining Azure Dragon True Qi was preserved and then sealed within the mechanisms in this area.”

”Therefore, in my view, if we insert the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword into the weak point of the mechanisms here and use the Azure Dragon True Qi of the same root and source contained in the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword as an attraction, transferring out that sealed mass of Azure Dragon True Qi through the Azure Dragon Profound Darkness Scripture is indeed something that can be accomplished.”

Li Musheng showed a thoughtful expression, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at Bu Chengyang and said, ”I see. The reason you appeared here and were even hanging around with that Azure Dragon Elder was probably because you wanted to join forces with that old man to seize the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword, then obtain that sealed mass of Azure Dragon True Qi.”

Hearing this, Bu Chengyang didn’t deny it. Instead, he looked at Li Musheng with some surprise and said, ”Young Hero’s mind is sharp. I did indeed come here to persuade the Azure Dragon Elder, wanting to make a deal with him.”

”The plan was to take advantage of when that group of Great Qi remnants were scheming for Great Li’s Imperial Dragon Divine Sword. We would be the oriole behind, reaping the benefits of the fisherman. After success, the Great Yan Sword Sect would obtain the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword, while I would assist him in obtaining the Azure Dragon True Qi sealed in the mechanisms.”

”This was a matter where both sides would mutually benefit. It’s just that the Azure Dragon Elder seemed somewhat fearful of the Great Yan Sword Sect and was still hesitating whether to agree when unexpectedly he was directly killed by Young Hero.”

Hearing this, Li Musheng’s face revealed a meaningful expression as he raised his eyebrows and said, ”So you’re planning to continue with me the cooperation you didn’t complete with that Azure Dragon Elder?”

Bu Chengyang nodded gently, hope appearing in his eyes as he tentatively asked, ”I do indeed have this idea. I just don’t know if Young Hero is willing?”

Li Musheng pondered slightly for a while, then waved his hand gently and said, ”That Azure Dragon Elder feared your Great Yan Sword Sect. I don’t care about such things. I think this matter could work.”

Hearing this, a gleam of joy flashed through Bu Chengyang’s eyes as he hurriedly said, ”Young Hero speaks extremely correctly. As long as we join forces, whether it’s the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword or the Azure Dragon True Qi, both will be easily obtainable.”

At this moment, however, Li Musheng shook his head and said, ”Cooperation is fine, but the conditions need to be changed. Whether it’s the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword or the Azure Dragon True Qi, I want both.”

”This...”

Bu Chengyang froze completely. His brow furrowed tightly as he looked at Li Musheng with some difficulty, ”But this way, wouldn’t I just be contributing effort without gaining any benefits?”

Speaking thus, he emphasized as a reminder, ”Seizing the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword is actually also a task the sect entrusted to me. Young Hero, could you perhaps give face to the Great Yan Sword Sect and yield this sword to us? The Great Yan Sword Sect will certainly remember Young Hero’s favor.”

Hearing this, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said, ”I don’t need that.”

”Moreover, being able to cooperate with me, no matter how you calculate it, is the Great Yan Sword Sect’s honor. You should be secretly delighted.”

Bu Chengyang immediately fell silent. But with things said to this point, he naturally didn’t dare to throw down his tools and refuse to work, directly refuting Li Musheng’s words.

As for very firmly indicating that the Great Yan Sword Sect wanted the Imperial Dragon Divine Sword and using the sect’s power to pressure Li Musheng, he didn’t even dare think about it.

If he really did that, it would be no different from actively seeking death.
