Holy Fist!

Basement Level Two, Shenzang Ruins.

Bai Xiao and his group took a short rest before leaving the Jade Jade Pool. All the Void Marrow here had been thoroughly scooped and completely integrated into their Qi.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Several figures swiftly shuttled through the buildings, heading into the distance.

This journey to Ancient Loulan had basically fulfilled Bai Xiao's goals; his strength had fully surpassed the buffer phase, thoroughly advancing to the Transformation Realm.

However, Canaan's objective had not yet been achieved.

She wanted to proceed to the third layer of the Divine Treasure, which was also the final area.

Bai Xiao had just asked Canaan why.

Canaan was quite candid, directly saying she was here for the Secret Treasure that once held the greatest renown in the West for the Blood God Sect, the full name of which was the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform. However, more often it is referred to as the Glazed Lotus or the Enlightenment Platform. This secret treasure is extraordinarily precious, with an effect that is incredibly transcendent.

If one must find a reference point.

It would probably be the Enlightenment Tea Tree at the current Martial Arts Association Headquarters.

However, the focus of the two is somewhat different.

The Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform has a peculiar effect on cultivating and comprehending the Martial Arts True Intent, but is otherwise fairly ordinary. This means, for a Peak Sect Leader, this secret treasure is unimaginably precious, capable of saving a great deal of time, assisting them in glimpsing the numerous mysteries of the Grandmaster Realm!

Such a treasure, once it appears, might usher in a bloody turmoil.

Even a first-class sect would pursue it fervently!

Not to mention, a super first-class sect might also find it tempting.

After all, the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform could entirely serve as the Treasure of the Sect, allowing a sect to remain prosperous for ages. Just like the Blood God Sect, which once ruled the West for so many years, a large part of their dominance was due to the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform. From the fact that all three major leaders of the Blood God Sect were Peak Sect Leaders, it's evident. In the East where Bai Xiao resides, apart from one Crane Master, the super first-class sect He Xian Martial Arts Hall has only one Peak Sect Leader.

The difference in gap, one can imagine.

The Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform enables those in the Transformation Realm to sense and touch the Martial Arts True Intent.

Thus increasing their potential to break through to the peak level.

It is entirely understandable why Canaan wants to acquire such a treasure.

In fact, she didn't disclose everything. The Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform has another function, which is to assist in the birth of Forbidden Secret Martial Arts!

Of course, that effect is quite weak, relying significantly on luck.

Nevertheless, Canaan remains persistent. She wants to further evolve her cultivated Buddha Demon Heavenly Heart Technique, making it a super first-class forbidden existence. This way, Canaan can completely resolve the issue of her Heart Demon and also obtain a Grandmaster foundation. A sect leader mastering Forbidden Secret Martial Arts has a greater chance of advancing to Grandmaster.

...

Three figures shuttled through the second basement level at an incredible speed, with the remnants of buildings and ruins on either side swiftly retreating behind them like fleeting shadows. However, during this process, they occasionally paused.

Approaching some of the adjacent intact pavilions and exploring them.

The second basement level of the Divine Treasure has not completely self-destructed, so theoretically good things might still exist here, depending on whether they are fortunate enough to discover them.

"Another third-rank secret technique." This chapter was made possible by the community at MV|LEM|PYR.

"Though the level isn't high, the effect is rather interesting."

"During the full operation of the secret technique, pain is completely blocked."

"If used properly, it might indeed have miraculous effects, somewhat like adrenaline released by the human body. Generally, while seasoned martial artists can endure pain to fight, it inevitably affects some of their movements and reactions. This Mystic Ice Technique can effectively solve this issue..."

On the third layer of an ancient pavilion, Canaan remarked as she looked at the secret manual in her hand.

Beside her, Bai Xiao showed little interest.

He silently shattered a case.

Inside, there was also a secret manual.

With a sweeping glance, Bai Xiao's attention was piqued.

"Five Qi Towards Origin"

What a name, full of grandeur.

Moreover, it seemed somewhat related to the Candle Sect's Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

He exhaled slowly, opening it to read.

"When the body does not move, essence solidifies and water flows towards the origin; the heart does not move, Qi solidifies and fire flows towards the origin; when true nature is silent, the soul is stored and wood flows towards the origin; illusory feelings are forgotten, Po hides and metal stores origin; when the four major settles in peace, Yi is stable and earth flows towards the origin. Cultivate the true Qi of the five organs, gather in the Yellow Court, Five Elements mutually aid and counterbalance, stabilize the whole body as firm as a rock."

The more Bai Xiao read, the brighter his eyes grew.

This Five Qi Towards Origin is definitely first-class among secret techniques, with extremely potent effects. He read through to the end, memorizing all the content. The Five Qi Towards Yuan secret technique is indeed based on the strength of the five major organs, birthing Five Elements True Qi, automatically healing all injuries to the cultivator's flesh, and forcibly expelling all invasive alien energies.

When cultivated to the Great Achievement Realm and fully activated, it can achieve terrifying effects akin to limb regeneration, absolutely not inferior to Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Though Three Flowers Gathering at the Top can allow, in a severely injured state, a revival akin to returning to peak form. However, injuries sustained, including severed limbs, do not return; only one's peak combat strength is restored.

After finishing reading the entire secret manual.

Bai Xiao felt increasingly certain that this Five Qi Towards Yuan was indeed related to the Candle Sect's Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Training both together is necessary for the complete effect.

Two minutes later.

The group left the pavilion and continued towards the third basement level.
