Chapter 490 - Tidal Manual
A moment later, Yan Beichen retracted his saber and stood upright.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and he could barely contain the joy in his eyes.
Apart from the final stance of the Sea Calming Manual which he was still unable to produce, he managed to comprehend the force levels of the other four stances completely!
It was all because of the pressure that Yan Beichen gave him that he was able to comprehend them so quickly.
Otherwise, even if he practiced against air for dozens of years, he might not be able to reach this step unless he had another opportunity.
If cultivators wanted to grow, they would have to grind against the brink of life and death continuously!
Of course, what truly brought joy to Su Zimo was not only because he managed to comprehend the realm of force.
More than that, under the pretext that they were both on the same power level, he was not weaker than this number one paragon of Tianhuang Mainland North Region in the past in terms of his saber technique!
Su Zimo’s thought process was simple – he wanted to impart the Sea Calming Manual to Yan Beichen as well as a form of exchange.
“There’s no need.”
Yan Beichen waved it off indifferently. “I’ve already begun to comprehend my own Dao. In my eyes, the Sea Calming Manual is no big deal!”
There was a hint of arrogance in Yan Beichen’s tone.
He was firmly convinced that he would definitely be an emperor in the future with accomplishments above the Saber Emperor!
Su Zimo did not press on further and took the Tidal Manual. When he saw the second ancient manual, he could not help but frown. “Asura Saber?”
The other secret skill was Asura Sect’s secret skill, Asura Saber!
“This…”
Su Zimo was confused.
By doing this, did it mean that Yan Beichen wanted him to join Asura Sect?
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before returning Asura Saber. “I haven’t thought about leaving Ethereal Peak before. Senior, please take the Asura Saber back.”
Yan Beichen glared at him but did not take it back.
“Even if you don’t join Asura Sect, you can take this saber manual to cultivate.”
“Is this… appropriate?”
Su Zimo frowned.
Usually, one would be severely punished and might even be killed if they imparted the secret skills of a sect!
“You’re telling me that even though I dare to impart it to you, you don’t dare to learn it?” Yan Beichen sneered.
Su Zimo was silent.
In the ancient battlefield, he had truly created quite a bit of trouble and there was nothing he wouldn’t dare to learn.
Furthermore, it wasn’t as though Su Zimo hadn’t cultivated techniques of the fiend sects before.
Back in the river undercurrent, when he was stuck with Demoness Ji in that cramped stone coffin, he cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra that was left inside.
At that thought, Su Zimo accepted both the ancient manuals.
After pondering silently for a moment, he recalled something and asked, “Asura Sect is located in the Middle Continent. Senior, were you able to arrive in time because Senior Gu Xi sent you a message?”
Yan Beichen and looked at Su Zimo with a strange stare. “To think that this generation’s Pure Maiden of the fiend sects would have chosen you as her tripod.”
This was the second time that Su Zimo had heard of the term.
The first time was under the Human Emperor’s Palace when Demoness Ji confessed to it after being questioned by the Sealer of the Illusion Fiend Cult.
“What’s the meaning of being a tripod of the Pure Maiden Sect?” Su Zimo could not help but ask.
Yan Beichen did not reply.
When Su Zimo saw that, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart for now. He thought for a moment and asked again, “Why are all the sects, cultivators and even the royal family of Great Zhou so wary of the witch race?”
“That cautiousness stems from a catastrophe that happened 10,000 years ago,” Yan Beichen replied indifferently.
