Dragon's Origin

Chapter 437 Martial Repository (Part 1)

A huge misunderstanding! Wang Sheng sighed inwardly, wondering if he hadn't checked the almanac or if this Uncle Li was just naturally difficult, taking an instant dislike to him.

There was nothing he could do but let it be.

“How do I get a cultivation method?” Wang Sheng wasn't the type to be obsequious. Since things had turned out this way, he wouldn't bother explaining. He just wanted a cultivation method, and he probably wouldn't have any further dealings with Uncle Li, so there was no point in getting angry over this one person.

“Follow me!” Uncle Li glanced at the calm Wang Sheng, secretly admiring the young man's composure. To remain so calm and collected at a time like this suggested he wasn't just some pretty-boy showpiece.

“Since the city lord says you’ve made a great contribution to Worry-Free City, then you’re also qualified to witness the true martial repository.” Uncle Li stared at Wang Sheng, snorting coldly, “Follow me!”

This time, when Uncle Li looked at Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng noticed that Uncle Li’s eyes didn’t match his youthful appearance at all. They were infinitely deep, as if they could see through the world, revealing an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

Uncle Li walked ahead, with Wang Sheng and the steward following behind. The steward also wore a look of surprise, guessing that he had never truly seen the martial repository before.

After entering the door Uncle Li had just gone through, the space before them suddenly opened up. A huge underground cavern, the size of a football field, appeared before Wang Sheng and the steward.

Inside the huge underground cavern, countless neat shelves were arranged densely, similar to those in a library. The shelves were filled with countless scrolls. Each scroll was a cultivation method of varying quality.

At first glance, there seemed to be tens of thousands of cultivation methods here. Wang Sheng didn't know if these were all Worry-Free City's heritage or if they had been scavenged from somewhere. However, one thing was certain: the cultivation methods that could be placed in the martial repository must be powerful techniques of considerable rank.

Uncle Li, staying in this huge martial repository alone, constantly studying so many cultivation methods, was definitely a terrifying monster beyond imagination.

If Wang Sheng could study all these cultivation methods, how great would that be? Wang Sheng looked at the huge martial repository, turned to look at Uncle Li, and couldn't quite figure out what Uncle Li was trying to do.

“These are all kinds of cultivation methods.” Uncle Li felt Wang Sheng’s gaze, but didn’t look at him, only staring at the massive pile of cultivation methods, and said to himself, “However, all the cultivation methods are protected by formations. If you want a cultivation method, go get it yourself!”

“Is this really happening?” Wang Sheng couldn't believe his ears, and asked Uncle Li with great surprise.

The old steward next to him directly turned his head away and closed his eyes. Was this a good thing? The formations protecting the martial repository were something that even ordinary legendary realm experts might not be able to withstand.

These were formations personally arranged by Uncle Li, not those simple formations outside, but super formations that Uncle Li had specially created for the martial repository after combining his hundreds of years of experience with formations. Once triggered, even gods would have difficulty saving you. Wang Sheng actually said this was a good thing?

“Of course!” A confident smile appeared on Uncle Li’s face, “As long as you can get it, the cultivation method is yours, and you can look at it here for a day. However, only one type is allowed.”

“Where is the most powerful cultivation method?” Since things had already reached this point, Wang Sheng didn't need to worry about saving face, and directly asked for the most powerful one.

“The most powerful cultivation method corresponds to the most powerful protective formation.” Uncle Li had completely lost patience with this ignorant young man, and only said coldly, “Once you reach out, with your cultivation, you will surely die!”

“What if I’m lucky enough to survive?” Wang Sheng suddenly had a whim, and also asked with a hint of provocation.

“Then you can take the cultivation method and look at it here for a day.” Uncle Li wasn't fooled, and directly replied to Wang Sheng.

Being an old monster of a hundred and several decades, how could he be angered by Wang Sheng's mere attempt to provoke him? Uncle Li was not moved at all, only looking at Wang Sheng coldly.

“You haven’t answered my question yet. Where is the strongest cultivation method?” Wang Sheng shook his head, if he wasn't going to be fooled, then so be it! He would still have to memorize the most powerful cultivation method today and take it away.

Uncle Li slowly raised his arm, stretched out his hand, flicked a finger, and pointed in a direction. He didn’t even bother to say anything more to Wang Sheng.

Being a junior of at most the seventh level, it was already giving him face to say so much, just because of the city lord. After sending Wang Sheng away, he would go find the city lord and have a good talk about this matter, lest the city lord be young and be deceived by someone, thinking that doing something casually was a contribution to Worry-Free City.

Wang Sheng looked in that direction and walked over without hesitation. In this huge underground cavern, there was no one else besides Uncle Li. Was he not afraid that something might happen to the books in the martial repository?

Perhaps Worry-Free City was too powerful, or perhaps Uncle Li was personally very powerful, feeling that no one could take anything from the martial repository without being discovered and paying the price, so he was so arrogant?

Uncle Li looked down on him, and Wang Sheng didn't mind letting Uncle Li suffer a loss today, so that from today onwards, he would keep one eye open when sleeping, staring firmly at every cultivation method scroll here, letting him know the consequences of looking down on him.

When Wang Sheng walked towards that direction, Uncle Li just stared, his face full of disdain. However, when Wang Sheng had walked halfway, Uncle Li’s expression changed, becoming extremely serious.

He could clearly see Wang Sheng walking over there, but he couldn't feel any of Wang Sheng’s aura at all. In other words, Wang Sheng had suddenly disappeared entirely from within his spiritual energy sensing range. How was this possible? Wang Sheng was clearly right there!

What was even more terrifying was that Uncle Li suddenly realized that he could see Wang Sheng, but not only could he not detect any of Wang Sheng’s aura, he couldn’t even hear Wang Sheng’s footsteps or heartbeat. If he couldn't see him and closed his eyes, Wang Sheng would be completely invisible.

Instantly, Uncle Li realized that he had probably made a huge mistake, mistaking a top assassin for a scoundrel trying to muddle through and cheat. With the ability to become invisible in front of him, what expert couldn't he kill? No matter how powerful an expert was, they couldn't possibly be constantly on guard against everything around them, right?

This was the first time in his hundreds of years of guarding the martial repository that he had misjudged someone.

Now it depended on how Wang Sheng would face those terrifying formations sealing the cultivation methods. If Wang Sheng had the means to break the formations, then the entire martial repository would probably be in danger.
