Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Stealing the Divine Map_1

The Snow Lotus Sword Technique’s third stance, Condensed Water, is a move capable of freezing everything in its wake. Its speed may not equal the first stance, and it lacks a force field, but the terrifying freezing power can bring an end to enemies;

The Snow Lotus Sword Technique’s fourth stance, Ice Heart, should be considered an auxiliary move among the five stances of the sword technique.

While employing this move, all of True Essence within the body will transform into ice-based energy. In this state, the power of the remaining four stances of the Snow Lotus Sword Technique will at least double, if not increase by tenfold, which is truly fearsome.

Especially once the fifth stance has been mastered, it could truly be said to be as devastating as it is terrifying.

Of course, the greater the power, the greater the consumption, so during this process, Ling Xiao’s precise control becomes critical.

Otherwise, if all the True Essence is exhausted without defeating the enemy, one is likely to perish.

Naturally, none of these changes were noticed by the elder on the other side, who just heard that Ling Xiao could not answer the seventh question and was clearly somewhat disappointed.

However, he quickly returned to normal.

That’s because if even the seventh question could be answered, this youngster could truly be considered an unparalleled monster.

The elder might even start to doubt whether Ling Xiao was human.

Lucky for Ling Xiao, he stopped his torrent of correct answers in time, or else it really would have caused a major uproar.

"May I, the junior, take my leave now?"

Ling Xiao stood up and made to leave.

Since the test was over, and there were others waiting, he couldn’t occupy this place indefinitely.

"Hold on a moment,"

The elder stopped Ling Xiao and said, "Young man, I preside over the Sealing Gods Record’s assessment all year round and am not much of a big shot in the Moon Hua Sect, but I do possess some strength. Would you be interested in cultivating under me?"

Hmm?

This offer was completely unexpected by Ling Xiao; he thought such good fortune was unlikely to befall him, yet here it was, waiting for him.

The trouble now was that he could feel that this elder’s cultivation level might not compare to that of the Golden Light Heavenly Lord and was only about the same as Elder Bai’s. Such a backer likely couldn’t hold back the Demonflame Celestial.

Following this person might even lead to more problems.

If this elder was a good person and willing to protect him, he might very well be killed by the Demonflame Celestial.

If this elder’s character was less admirable and he found out about the offense to the Demonflame Celestial, he would probably try to avoid Ling Xiao at all costs, making it even more troublesome to follow the elder.

Either way, today he really couldn’t go with the elder.

With this in mind, Ling Xiao already had a plan.

He gave a respectful bow and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, senior. However, my aptitude is lacking and my nature is dull, I fear I’m not suitable to become your disciple. If there is anything you need, senior, simply command and I shall comply. Even though I am not your disciple, I am still willing to serve!"

These words were quite appropriate: unwilling to be a disciple but willing to help out.

If the elder still harbored resentment after this, he would likely be a narrow-minded person, and becoming a disciple of such a person would be meaningless.

It would, on the other hand, confirm the correctness of Ling Xiao’s decision.

If the elder harbored no grudge, then Ling Xiao would spend more time with the elder, not as a patron but at least to build a good relationship, which would always be useful.

If the elder treated him with sincerity, he would naturally reciprocate.

"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations, and I was indeed a bit presumptuous today. However, once you join the Sect, we will get to know each other slowly, and maybe you will have a change of heart," the elder said with a smile, although he sounded a bit disappointed.

Yet these words clearly expressed an unwillingness to give up on such a promising disciple.

Ling Xiao indeed didn’t dislike such a person. If someone thinks highly of you, it means they sincerely find you to be good. If it weren’t for the offense against Demonflame Celestial, he would have truly agreed.

After all, joining a sect with such an elder to support you is definitely not a bad thing.

"If the junior were to choose a master, the elder would certainly be my first choice!"

Ling Xiao clasped his hands together in salute and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps and said, "Elder, may the junior stay a little longer?"

He had just comprehended the third and fourth forms of the ’Snow Lotus Sword Technique,’ recognizing the might of the Sealing Gods Record, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, even if he couldn’t completely grasp the Fifth form. Gaining some understanding of the Martial Arts rules would still be beneficial.

The Sealing Gods Record was indeed a Martial Arts encyclopedia; it was a pity that not everyone could understand it, unless one had a powerful soul with extraordinary insight.

The higher the insight, the greater the benefits one could obtain.

"You may!"

The elder said with a smile.

Now, he wanted to take Ling Xiao as a disciple, so he was naturally willing to satisfy Ling Xiao’s requests as much as possible.

But what he didn’t know was that what Ling Xiao was about to do would truly astonish him.

Ling Xiao’s idea was to see if the Mountain and River Martial Soul could directly duplicate the Sealing Gods Record.

If that were the case, then he could comprehend the Martial Arts mystic arts from the Sealing Gods Record at any time, which would be of great help.

Due to the urgency of time, he hadn’t done so just now, but now he could definitely give it a try.

As Ling Xiao attempted to duplicate the Sealing Gods Record, Elder Bai walked in.

Despite having the same cultivation level, Elder Bai was very respectful towards the elder.

"Elder Yang, has his test not ended yet? Everyone outside is waiting."

Elder Bai asked with his head respectfully bowed.

"Let them wait, and furthermore, without my permission, if you barge in again, that would be breaking the rules!"

Elder Yang looked at Elder Bai with a commanding presence and said.

Elder Bai awkwardly glanced at Ling Xiao, wondering in his heart. Although Ling Xiao’s battle techniques were powerful, his potential could only be considered average at best. Why then was Elder Yang paying so much attention to him?

Although perplexed, he still exited the room.

In strict terms, he truly shouldn’t have entered the room casually; he had only come in to check because the waiting outside had been too long, and he was worried something might go wrong.

"Success!"

Ling Xiao discovered that by simply increasing the input of his soul power and operating the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he could instantly duplicate the entire Sealing Gods Record into the Mountain and River World.

In the little town within the Mountain and River World, there was now an extra building constructed underground, identical to this room.

"Elder, the junior is ready to leave; we shouldn’t let others wait too long."

Ling Xiao’s words were indeed a bit shameless. Now that he had obtained what he wanted, there was no reason to stay any longer.

"Young man, don’t be too hasty. The Sealing Gods Record isn’t so easy to comprehend. If you like it, you can come here once a month."

Elder Yang said with a chuckle.

Ling Xiao nodded, thinking to himself: although your kindness is indeed good, regrettably, I have no more need for such benefits.

Of course, even though he had acquired the Sealing Gods Record, there were still things he couldn’t solve on his own, and in the future, he would inevitably need to visit Elder Yang.

So he replied, "The junior will certainly come to disturb the elder often."
