157: Illusionary Inheritance

There's definitely something wrong here.

He just hasn't discovered the danger yet.

Shen Xi looked around with extreme vigilance, and at the same time, he began to excavate the martial token fragment.

He came here precisely for the martial token fragment.

If he gave up excavating due to fear of danger, he might as well not have appeared here at all.

"Clang!"

Before Shen Xi could even make a move, a golden light suddenly burst forth, accompanied by the sound of a bell.

The next second.

A martial token fragment actually flew on its own to Shen Xi's front.

"I got it this easily? I don't even need to excavate it myself?"

Shen Xi said, somewhat disbelieving.

It was full of crises and difficulties before, but suddenly it became so easy?

This gave him an unreal feeling.

"What is that thing?"

Suddenly, Shen Xi noticed something different at the edge of the martial token fragment.

It was a golden, shimmering pearl.

It was precisely because of the existence of this pearl that the martial token fragment appeared to be dazzling with golden light!

The bell sound just now was also emitted by this pearl.

"My name is Huan Xu. I was once the most top-tier illusionist in this world. My illusion Formation was unrivaled, sweeping across the land. But alas, I met Chasing Wind Shadow and was defeated by his Wind Chasing Swordplay, becoming trapped in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm for over a thousand years."

"During this time, I did not give up. Instead, I delved even deeper into illusionary arts, hoping to defeat Chasing Wind Shadow and leave this wretched place. But he was simply too strong. For a thousand years, I challenged him every hundred years, but each time ended in failure."

"Finally, my lifespan reached its end. In my last moments, I was unwilling for my Legacy to be cut off, so I set up the Desert Scorpion Formation. If any latecomer can break this Formation, they will be qualified to receive my Legacy."

"This Huan Xu Pearl contains the Legacy of my entire life. I give you one hour. If you can comprehend the first layer, you will be my successor. Fail, and you will be annihilated without mercy!"

From the Huan Xu Pearl came an incomparably domineering, yet ancient and vicissitudes of life voice.

The next second.

The Huan Xu Pearl landed in Shen Xi's hand.

Sections of profound Cultivation Technique appeared in mid-air.

Just by looking at the beginning, Shen Xi finally understood why so many people entered the Desert Vortex, yet not a single one returned alive.

Huan Xu was at least a Martial Artist of the Detachment Realm.

The illusionary art Legacy he left behind was naturally incomparably profound.

Even just the first layer was comparable to a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Martial Arts.

Comprehending a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Martial Arts within one hour—one can imagine how astonishing the difficulty coefficient was.

Even an Aptitude one in ten thousand couldn't possibly achieve it; at the very least, a Genius chosen from a million would have a chance.

Just this one threshold was enough to make countless Martial Artist hesitate.

And once one failed, it meant annihilation.

Huan Xu did not allow those who failed to meet his requirements to remember these Martial Arts contents, take them out of the Desert Vortex, and leak them.

One must know, Huan Xu was at least a Martial Artist of the Detachment Realm.

The methods he left behind, intended to kill latecomers, were simply too easy.

It was precisely because of this that so many Martial Artist disappeared after entering the Desert Vortex.

They all died at Huan Xu's hands.

"So the greatest danger of the Desert Vortex was actually here!"

Shen Xi immediately felt relieved.

If it was merely comprehending the first layer of Huan Xu's illusionary art Legacy, he wasn't worried at all.

For others, if their Aptitude didn't meet the requirements, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve.

But for Shen Xi, as long as he had enough Yao Beast lifespan, wasn't this a trivial matter?

Hanging thirteen, that's how arrogant he is!

"Fortunately, I didn't use up all my Yao Beast lifespan, otherwise I would have been doomed too."

Shen Xi muttered softly.

He now had tens of thousands of Yao Beast lifespan left, so practicing a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Martial Arts was not difficult.

"Start practicing!"

[Practicing the first layer of the illusionary art "Illusory Void Scripture", consuming five hundred years of Yao Beast lifespan annually.]

[Year one, you begin to comprehend the first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture", unexpectedly discovering that your talent for illusionary arts is comparable to the Dao of the Sword, and you master it at a rapid pace.]

[Year ten, you have gradually stepped through the threshold.]

[Year twenty, you have gained a certain understanding of the first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture", successfully entering the Minor Achievement of the first layer.]

[Year fifty, your first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture" finally reaches Major Achievement.]

[Year one hundred, your first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture" reaches Perfection, and you are about to step into the second layer.]

[Ding! The second layer of "Illusory Void Scripture" requires two thousand years of lifespan per year. Practice ended!]

[Ding! This practice consumed a total of fifty thousand years of Yao Beast lifespan. Feedback beginning!]

The insights regarding the first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture" instantly surged into Shen Xi's mind.

After spending a little time adapting, Shen Xi finally completely mastered it.

Hmm!

It took about five minutes.

Is it difficult?

The joy of hanging thirteen is something outsiders simply cannot experience.

"I have finally found the most suitable successor, hahaha, my Legacy will not be cut off, my Dao is not alone, my Dao is not alone!"

From the Huan Xu Pearl, Huan Xu's voice came again.

Immediately after, the Huan Xu Pearl landed in Shen Xi's hand.

Due to the "Illusory Void Scripture", in the ethereal, Shen Xi and the Huan Xu Pearl established an inseparable connection.

"This is actually a Heaven-Grade weapon!"

Shen Xi couldn't help but gasp, exclaiming in surprise.

The Huan Xu Pearl not only recorded Huan Xu's lifelong learning but was also a Low Grade Heaven-Grade weapon.

Through the Huan Xu Pearl, Shen Xi could exert two hundred percent of the power of the first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture".

And a Low Grade Heaven-Grade weapon was even more precious, to the extent that even Secluded Factions would covet it, and even lower themselves to snatch it.

One must know, the Qingying Sword that Shen Xi bought at a high price was merely an Innate-Rank weapon.

"This is a trump card for saving my life. If I didn't have the Huan Xu Pearl, my combat power could at most overwhelm the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm, but once I use the first layer of "Illusory Void Scripture" and combine it with the Huan Xu Pearl, my combat power can even suppress the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm."

"Although it's not enough to completely overwhelm the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm, among those in the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm, I am also a mid-Rank expert."

An unexpected pleasant surprise!

Shen Xi was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.

His original combat methods were somewhat monotonous, only One Sword Eight Desolations and One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces.

But now, with the addition of the "Illusory Void Scripture" and the matching Huan Xu Pearl, his combat methods were much richer.

Moreover, the "Illusory Void Scripture" is not just an offensive method; it is a Cultivation Technique that combines offense, defense, and many other aspects.
