Luo Bingfeng did not open the sealed box, instead frowning as he said, “What, could there be a problem? Could Qian Ye dare to deceive me?”
The woman replied, “Qian Ye passed the ‘Heart Examining Technique’ test. He absolutely did not lie.”
“Then why are you worried?”
The woman sighed softly, saying, “Bingfeng, you didn’t think about it, a cultivation manual of this level, how could it be so easily obtained? My previous divination also showed that this time would likely be in vain. It’s a pity that you just wouldn’t listen to me.”
Luo Bingfeng said, “Nannan, you should know that to heal your injuries, I would do anything if there was even a thread of hope.”
“My injury is like this now. Over the years, I have long accepted my fate.”
Luo Bingfeng raised his voice, “But I don’t accept it!”
The woman, helplessly, pointed at the sealed box, saying, “Then, let’s open it and take a look.”
Luo Bingfeng flicked his finger, breaking the seal on the box, and took out the three secret manuals inside. The moment he saw the first one, he suddenly went pale and nearly fainted.
The three large characters for ‘Military Campaign Technique’ struck him like three bolts of lightning, momentarily leaving Luo Bingfeng’s mind blank.
He quickly recovered, but his hands still trembled with anger, “How could this be? How could it be the Military Campaign Technique? This Qian Ye actually dared to deceive me! Does he really think I, Luo Bingfeng, am afraid to kill him? I will risk using up this half day of freedom, and personally enter Nanqing to slay the little thief!”
The woman placed her hand over his, speaking softly, “Let’s not rush to conclusions. Let’s first examine the contents of these three secret manuals, then decide. What do you think?”
Luo Bingfeng was also a composed person, but he was too concerned about this matter. Hearing her words, he calmed down and began to read the Military Campaign Technique carefully, word by word. He read very slowly, savoring even the simplest sentence, for fear of missing something.
However, no matter how carefully he read, he soon reached the end of the manual. After all, it had less than a thousand characters, and the content was extremely shallow, with nothing worth pondering. This was not surprising; the techniques given to ordinary soldiers by the Empire couldn’t be too profound. Many soldiers couldn’t even read, and they had to rely on instructors to learn the Military Campaign Technique.
It wasn’t until he finished the last sentence that Luo Bingfeng completely gave up, knowing that the book in his hands was indeed the commonly available Military Campaign Technique.
He was so angry that his whole body shook, muttering repeatedly, “Good, good for you, Qian Ye!”
Fueled by rage, Luo Bingfeng was about to tear the manual apart when the woman stopped him, saying, “There are still two more. Perhaps there is a hidden mystery. Wait until we see them before tearing this one.”
Luo Bingfeng reluctantly suppressed his anger, saying, “Alright, let’s see what he wrote.”
He picked up another book and started reading carefully. As soon as he began, he was immediately drawn in, and his face gradually relaxed. This time, he read for much longer, and after closing the book, he sat in deep thought for a while before saying, “This secret technique is truly extraordinary. It can simulate the great force of the heavens and earth vortex to refine and purify origin power. From this, it might indeed be possible to cultivate the Dawnlight Awakening. After all, the Dawnlight Awakening is, in essence, the purest form of Dawn Origin Power.”
After praising it, Luo Bingfeng thought for a moment and said, “However, I still have two questions. First, although the great force of the heavens and earth vortex is powerful, how can a human body withstand such force? There must be some way to restrain it. Second, with the purity of Qian Ye’s Dawnlight Awakening, after refining, perhaps only a tenth of the void origin power would remain. What kind of secret technique can supply such a vast amount of origin power? To my knowledge, none of the secret techniques can achieve such a fast cultivation speed. In that case, the progress of cultivation would be severely delayed, and combat power might even be worse without refining the Dawnlight Awakening.”
The woman said, “Don’t rush to a conclusion. Finish reading this book first.”
Luo Bingfeng nodded, taking the secret manual from the woman and reading it carefully. After a while, his expression changed, becoming increasingly grim. He suddenly grabbed the Radiant Chapter and compared it with the other book. In an instant, his face turned drastically, exclaiming, “What are these Dark Radiant Two Chapters? They are clearly the ‘Chaos Ancient Scroll’!”
The woman remained calm, saying, “The Dark Radiant Two Chapters are probably the name used by the Empire for the ‘Chaos Ancient Scroll’.”
Luo Bingfeng could no longer contain himself, grabbing the three secret manuals, intending to tear them to shreds.
The woman stopped him, saying, “Why do this?”
“That Qian Ye is too arrogant! If I don’t tear him to pieces, I will not be human!”
“Nannan, even if it is the ‘Chaos Ancient Scroll’, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem. Don’t forget, Qian Ye did pass the Heart Examining Technique test. He cannot lie.”
Luo Bingfeng became even more enraged, “Nannan, think about it. Since the ‘Chaos Ancient Scroll’ emerged from the Great Vortex, how many experts from the Evernight Empire have cultivated it? And what was the result? Almost all of them exploded to death, and the best outcome was their cultivation being destroyed. Is this what you call no problem?”
“Nannan, you just mentioned that to cultivate the Radiant Chapter, one must withstand the great force of the heavens and earth vortex. If you also cultivate the Dark Chapter, wouldn’t it balance and restrain the Radiant Chapter?”
“Theory makes sense, but in reality, who can coexist with both dark and dawn origin power? The dark races cultivating dawn origin power is like inviting fire upon themselves. And although our human race can switch to dark origin power, their cultivation in dawn origin power is usually destroyed. Who can practice such a secret technique?”
The woman smiled, “Let’s not worry about that. As long as the theory holds, it’s fine. Regarding the source of origin power, I believe the key is in this Military Campaign Technique. Otherwise, Qian Ye wouldn’t have added another common Military Campaign Technique to what he gave us.”
Luo Bingfeng was half-believing, half-doubting, and he picked up the Military Campaign Technique and read it again carefully, puzzled, “Isn’t this just the Military Campaign Technique? What’s so mysterious about it?”
The woman said, “The cultivation method may not be anything special, but the realm is not certain. Think about it, the Martial Might King and the Qingyang King Zhang Boqian both cultivated the Military Campaign Technique to the fiftieth layer. The Martial Might King was a senior figure, so it’s understandable. But what about the Qingyang King Zhang Boqian? Why did he choose to first cultivate the Military Campaign Technique until the fiftieth layer before changing to another technique? With the Zhang clan’s extensive collection, wouldn’t they have a suitable technique for him? If the Military Campaign Technique had nothing special, why would he bother with this futile task? Wouldn’t it be better to directly cultivate a new technique?”
Luo Bingfeng seemed to be in deep thought, “Are you saying that the Military Campaign Technique only reveals its secrets at the fiftieth layer?”
“Most likely.”
This time, it was Luo Bingfeng who laughed bitterly, “This Military Campaign Technique draws origin power into the body through tidal force, seemingly simple, but the more layers it stacks, the stronger the counter-force becomes. Eventually, even a steel body would shatter. With my current body, I might only be able to barely reach the thirty-fifth layer. Any more, and I would be risking my life. Who were the Martial Might King and the Qingyang King? How can I compare to them?”
The woman sighed, “If it were before, you would not be limited to this.”
Luo Bingfeng was candid, “Even in my prime, I wouldn’t be able to surpass the fortieth layer. I observe that the closer you get to the fiftieth layer, the more perilous it becomes. After the fortieth layer, each layer is a chasm. How is it possible to cross it? Hmph, even if the Military Campaign Technique does have a different world after the fiftieth layer, it’s just speculation. Qian Ye cannot deceive me with this.”
“Perhaps, Qian Ye is not deceiving…”
“How could that be? You must be joking…” Luo Bingfeng’s words were cut off, his face showing shock, “You don’t mean that Qian Ye has also reached the fiftieth layer?”
The woman said seriously, “Most likely.”
“Absurd! Doesn’t that mean his talent is on par with the Qingyang King?”
The woman sighed, “I can only think of this possibility.”
Amidst his shock, Luo Bingfeng suddenly became invigorated, “So, Qian Ye might not have lied, and these three secret manuals could indeed cultivate the Dawnlight Awakening.”
The woman smiled helplessly, “Yes, as long as you first cultivate the Military Campaign Technique to the fiftieth layer, then simultaneously cultivate the Dark Radiant Two Chapters, and survive without exploding, it should work. Qian Ye’s Dawnlight Awakening was likely obtained this way.”
Luo Bingfeng was instantly stunned, staring blankly at the three secret manuals, his mind momentarily blank.
