God-Like Extraction

“Um…”

Lu Wuchang hesitated.

“Why? Is there something that’s difficult to share?” Su Jingxing asked in a low voice.

“Not really.”

Lu Wuchang scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I didn’t look for Bu Qing because we had a little conflict.”

“What conflict?” Su Jingxing probed.

“It’s just… I dated his sister before and then we broke up.”

Lu Wuchang gave a dry laugh and explained, “We broke up as a normal couple, but Bu Qing thought that I dumped his sister and bore a grudge against me since then, so…”

Lu Wuchang shrugged and didn’t continue.

Su Jingxing was speechless.

He had almost forgotten that Lu Wuchang was an expert at wooing girls. Few of the women he had taken a fancy to he couldn’t successfully woo.

The problem was that every time he succeeded, he would give up and look for a new target.

He was always fond of the new and tired of the old. He was passionate but not promiscuous.

He could even woo Bu Qing’s younger sister. This showed how good he was.

Of course, Lu Wuchang wasn’t bad himself. Moreover, he never forced anyone and only flirted with single people.

No matter how much Bu Qing detested him, he could only dislike him and not do anything to him.

Moreover, if they were to really fight, it remained unknown who would win.

“_Tagree to the deal.”

Su Jingxing was silent for a moment before asking, “When are we doing the trade?”

“How about tomorrow morning?” asked Lu Wuchang, delighted. “The sooner the better.”

“10 a.m. tomorrow, at the Eastern District Bridge. It’s the closest to the garrison army base.”

“Sure,” replied Su Jingxing. “We’ll meet at the Eastern District Bridge at 10 a.m. tomorrow.”

With that, he sprang into the sky with a tap of his toes.

He flew high into the sky and continued north. After a long detour, he returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city.

On the rooftop.

Lu Wuchang looked up at the night sky and let out a long sigh.

“Finally… soon.”

He had not shared everything. The heavenly secret art in the legacy stone tablet was not important, but extremely important!

He subconsciously felt that it involved the loss of his lifespan.

Therefore, he had to obtain this heavenly secret art!

The so-called heavenly secret arts were a collective term for divination, feng shui, astrology, eight trigrams, fortune-telling using characters, and so on.

Since ancient times, there had been people who specialized in researching secret arts in this area.

Lu Wuchang’s talent was most suitable for such secret arts. Before this, he had also researched related secret arts, but he had achieved barely any results.

The heavenly secret art left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage was clearly different.

Martial Sages were the peak existences among humans on Earth Star. Their level of existence was already different from ordinary people.

Something left behind by a person of such a level and recorded in the legacy stone tablet must have something unique about it.

Lu Wuchang wished he could study the stone tablet that night and obtain the secret heavenly art.

However, he knew that this matter could not be rushed.

It was already a good start that the other party had agreed to the deal. The worst was to be hot-headed and do something stupid at this time.

“Ljust find it a little strange…” murmured Lu Wuchang.

Su Jingxing gave him the feeling that he was very young!

Probably only around 20 years old.

Why had he never heard of such a young third-grade martial artist?

“Is he another hidden genius?”

Lu Wuchang sucked in a breath of cold air.

Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and continued cultivating.

‘The deal with Lu Wuchang saved him the trouble of negotiating with Pu Mingyue.

Each of the three stone tablets contained a different set of information.

It was unknown what Yue Dongliu was thinking.

The Full Moon Breathing Technique required a full moon night. There was no moon tonight, so it was naturally impossible to try it out.

No, I-can give it a try. It’s just a breathing technique.

Just do it. Su Jingxing first experienced the charm of the Full Moon Breathing Technique and slowly familiarized himself with the circulation process.

After a while, as was recorded, he inhaled and exhaled rhythmically.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Nothing!

Instead, he felt a little stifled, and even his internal aura was in chaos.

Su Jingxing stopped circulating decisively and sensed for the problem.

The breathing technique was real. The problem was not the lack of moonlight essence, but the limitations of his body.

Su Jingxing recalled the process and realized that if his body was permeable and every skin cell could carry out breathing, then there would be no problem.

Simply put, this was a body breathing technique!

“Body breathing technique? Whose body can meet this requirement?”

Su Jingxing was puzzled.

His current physique had already been transformed into a transcendent body, yet he still couldn’t satisfy the requirements.

So who could?

“It can’t be that I have to advance to become a Martial Sage, right?”

The physical body of a Martial Sage had undergone a complete transformation, and his life levels would have changed.

Perhaps, only such a body would be able to get used to the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

With this in mind, no matter how unwilling Su Jingxing was, he could only give up.

10 a.m. the next day.

Su Jingxing arrived at the appointed place on time with the big box containing the stone tablet.

Lu Wuchang was already waiting.

‘The two of them avoided the pedestrians and walked to a corner to open the boxes they had brought.

“These are the Martial Sage’s Manuscript and two Soul Nurturing Stones.”

Lu Wuchang handed the opened box to Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing also opened his box and handed it to Lu Wuchang.

The two of them checked the items in the boxes. A moment later, Su Jingxing said in a low voice, “All good.”

“Same here.” Lu Wuchang grinned. “Hold on, my friend. I’ll go to the army base right now.”

“Wait

u Jingxing stopped him. “T’ll go with you.”

“Alright!” Lu Wuchang hesitated for a second before nodding. “Let’s go then.”

With that, he turned around with the box and walked off.

Su Jingxing did not move.

Standing on the spot, he condensed a true energy clone. Wearing a cloak and a mask, it walked out of an alley behind and quickly caught up to Lu Wuchang.

At first, Lu Wuchang didn’t notice anything. When he was about to reach the entrance of the base, he realized that something was wrong. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the true energy clone.

“Why did you stop?”

Su Jingxing’s deep voice came through a line from where he was standing and sounded by the mouth of the true energy clone.

“N-Nothing.”

Lu Wuchang forced his mouth shut.

A true energy manifestation!

He could sense that Su Jingxing had actually condensed a true energy manifestation to follow him.

If he didn’t sense it carefully, he wouldn’t even be able to discover it.

It wasn’t that Lu Wuchang had never seen true energy clones before, but this was his first time seeing one that could almost pass off as a real person.

True energy clones of this state had extremely high demands of true energy cultivation.

At least a hundred years!

Wasn’t Su Jingxing very young, around 20 years old?

How could he have a hundred years of cultivation?

Lu Wuchang was bewildered and confused.

On the same spot.

Su Jingxing released his perception and locked onto Lu Wuchang’s location. Then, he used his true energy as a transit point to receive all external information.

Mainly sound!

As long as it was within the range of his soul power, which was only about 500 meters, Su Jingxing could hear Lu Wuchang’s conversation with others through his true energy clone.

As such, Su Jingxing immediately moved forward when he saw that Lu Wuchang had entered the army base. He stayed close to the base and listened to their conversation.

It wasn’t Gu Zhanlin!

The person conversing with Lu Wuchang was another commander.

The two of them checked each other’s legacy stone tablets to make sure that there were no mistakes and completed the exchange.

In less than five minutes, the true energy clone followed Lu Wuchang out of the base.

Su Jingxing returned to his original position in advance and waited for Lu Wuchang to return.

“Now that we have the stone tablet, how about we go to a hotel not far ahead to study it?” suggested Lu Wuchang, suppressing his excitement.

“Sure.” Su Jingxing controlled his true energy manifestation to dissipate. He put away the cloak and mask, held them in his hand, picked up the box, and walked to the street.

Lu Wuchang quickly followed.

The two of them chose a hotel and booked two rooms, one for each of them.

Su Jingxing studied it first while Lu Wuchang waited next door.

In the third-grade, Martial Art True Intent had endless uses. It was easy to lock onto Su Jingxing’s aura.

If not for the fact that they were afraid of creating a misunderstanding, they could have just booked a room.

1

Taking one room each was only a choice made out of their wariness.

Even so, Su Jingxing was only half focused on studying the new stone tablet.

This new stone tablet was the same as the one he had obtained previously. Mysterious patterns were engraved on it.

Su Jingxing focused half of his attention to gather his mental power and envelope the stone tablet.

Buzz!

It was the same sensation. Before long, a bunch of complicated information appeared in his mind.

Immediately, the Sishui Horned Dragon was released. The Heaven Trampling Elephant was condensed and began the decryption and reading of the information.

At the end, he slowly opened his eyes.

“Six Comets Records!”

The information recorded on the stone tablet was indeed a heavenly secret art. It was called the Six Comets Records, mainly targeted at divination.

Su Jingxing experienced it for a while and sensed the mysteries and wonders within. In a few seconds, his consciousness returned.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand it, rather, it was too complicated.

There were a lot of divination elements, and it would take a lot of time to figure them all out. Even with Su Jingxing’s soul power, it would take him at least half a month to completely understand them.

If he had the time, Su Jingxing might as well use more true essence to nourish his mind to get his Martial Art True Intent to open its eyes.

Secret heavenly arts were never what Su Jingxing wanted. He only needed to understand them briefly.

So.

Su Jingxing decisively left the room and handed the stone tablet to Lu Wuchang, who had been waiting for a long time.

Whether Lu Wuchang could comprehend the information had nothing to do with him.

It had nothing to do with him whether or not he could understand and master the Six Comets Records.

Starting from Huang Qian’s Memory Card to finally handing over the stone tablet, Su Jingxing had gained the Six Comets Records, the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Yue Dongliu’s Martial Sage Manuscript, and the last two Soul Nurturing Stones.

Compared to the Six Comets Records and the Full Moon Breathing Technique, the Soul Nurturing Stones were the most important.

He had obtained all 12 Soul Nurturing Stones.

After Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he immediately took them out and arranged them.

Su Jingxing experimented with all kinds of arrangements—lining them in a row, stacking them in threes in a line, forming a circle and more.

Im the end, there was no reaction.

“are they fake?”

“No, the Soul Nurturing Stones are real. The lack of reaction might be because the arrangement is wrong. Since a set of Soul Nurturing Stones can nourish soul power, they might have to be arranged in the form of an array formation.”

“Energy Gathering Array?”

At this thought, Su Jingxing first tried to set up a basic array formation.

Just like how he had previously used Energy Gathering Stones to set up an array formation to accelerate the maturation of the Concentration Fruit.

Now, using the Soul Nurturing Stones to replace the Energy Gathering Stones should.

Swish!

The air warped, and an invisible aura burst forth.

Su Jingxing, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the 12 Soul Nurturing Stones, shuddered. His mind seemed to have been wrapped in a stream of energy, like he was in a spring breeze or a fish in the sea.

Instantly, his mind and soul were immersed.

Success!

There was no need for complicated array formations. Just a basic array formation alone could unleash the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stones.

Compared to the Concentration Fruit, it could quickly take effect and increase one’s soul power.

The Soul Nurturing Stone set worked very slowly, but its advantage was in its permanence.

This feeling of being slowly nourished was also very unique. There was no need to be afraid of mistakes and other situations.

Therefore, for the next few days, apart from eating and going to the toilet, Su Jingxing spent the rest of his time “nourishing” his soul.

He did not pay attention to what was happening in the outside world, nor did anyone disturb him.

One day, Su Jingxing’s Martial Art True Intent opened its eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Su Jingxing felt that the entire world had become clearer.

The ceiling above his head, the floor beneath his feet, the table nearby, the patterns on it, the small tree outside the window, the branches and leaves on it, the distant mountain range, the trees, the aura of the Sky Water River nearby, the aura of the crematorium diagonally across, the exhaust of cars

running on the road

Everything changed when he opened his eyes.

If the past was like watching a low definition movie on his computer, the present was watching a huge screen in a cinema.

Although it was the same movie, the sensory stimulation it brought was very different.

This was one of the abilities of Martial Art True Intent!

Martial Art True Intent did not only look at the world with “eyes”, but wholeheartedly.

It “looked” at the world with the eyes, mouth, nose, hands, feet, and even skin!

Su Jingxing was immersed in it. After a long time, his consciousness returned. He controlled his Martial Art True Intent to stand up and stretch its limbs.

The entire process was slow but powerful.

It took almost half an hour before it successfully stretched its arms and kicked its legs.

Su Jingxing’s main body closed his eyes and sat cross-legged without moving.

However, his Martial Art True Intent stepped into the air and paced around the room.

‘When it got close to the window, he could feel the sunlight shining on him. Instead of feeling hot and tearing, it was warm.

The Ethereal Sword Immortal had said that some Martial Art True Intents would feel a piercing pain under sunlight.

The abilities and power it possessed would be greatly limited.

$u Jingxing used himself as his Martial Art True Intent, but in the end, he didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

He controlled his Martial Art True Intent to wander around for a while before returning to his original body. Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly remembered the uniqueness of the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

It required the entire person and even his skin to be breathing.

Right now, my Martial Art True Intent also happens to be fully focused on “seeing” the world. I wonder if it’s suitable?

Let’s do it. Su Jingxing continued to close his eyes and circulate the Full Moon Breathing Technique using his Martial Art True Intent.

Moments later——

“It worked!”

His Martial Art True Intent was actually able to execute the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

Of course, without the moonlight essence from the full moon, there was no effect even if he circulated it.

However, he would no longer feel suffocated, or his breathing becoming irregular, and so on.

After experimenting, Su Jingxing stopped with satisfaction and put away his Martial Art True Intent.

Now that he had succeeded with his Martial Art True Intent, all that was lacking was that his true energy had yet to fully liquefy.

Of course, this was also because Su Jingxing’s cultivation level was too high.

If he had about 80 years of cultivation, he would have long converted them all into liquid and converted them into true essence.

$u Jingxing looked into his dantian and sensed that there was still about a tenth of his true energy left.

Soon, one-tenth

Ding!

His phone beeped.

$u Jingxing picked it up and saw that it was a text message.

Opening it —

“Brother Li, the three stone tablets are gathered. The legacy ground will be manifested on Green Cloud Mountain, Yandang Peak at noon tomorrow!”

Pu Mingyue sent a message as promised.

They were finally opening the legacy ground left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu!
