King of Creation

Chapter 1876: Chapter 1861: Mystical Mechanism Dao Method

Entering the Palace Quiet Room, Ye Zhen activated the Guardian Formation of the room and carefully examined the various restrictions within.

After confirming there were no loopholes or unusual arrangements, Ye Zhen finally sat in meditation, closed his eyes, and immersed his Divine Sense into the Dark Palace Sea of Consciousness to meticulously read and digest the more than ten thousand words of last will left by his master Lud Li’s Remnant Soul.

The more than ten thousand words of last will first addressed the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School, which refers to Lud Li’s eight Direct Disciples.

Among the eight Direct Disciples, there were Ful Su, Second Senior Brother Leng Shoutian, Third Brother Lingn Xian, Fourth Sister Lud Mange, Fifth Senior Brother Xu Jin, Sixth Senior Brother Lian Mo, Seventh Brother Han Shizhe, and Eighth Senior Sister Zhuang Ningbing.

According to Master Lud Li, each of these eight individuals was remarkable and outstanding.

When Lud Li accepted them as his Direct Disciples, each underwent an observation period of over twenty years; he only accepted them when their talent, character, and qualities met his standards.

For this reason, even Lud Li himself found it hard to imagine that any one of these eight would betray him.

Speaking harshly, each of the eight brothers and sisters had the potential to betray him.

Among them, Seventh Brother Han Shizhe’s likelihood of betrayal could already be ruled out.

Because Seventh Brother Han Shizhe was the Direct Disciple accompanying Lud Li at the time, and shortly after the ambush, he perished on the spot, his soul completely dissipated.

Fourth Sister Lud Mange also had virtually no chance of betrayal because she was Master Lud Li’s only flesh and blood, his biological daughter.

Aside from these two, the remaining six Direct Disciples might have been traitors.

During the catastrophe, it’s unknown how many of the other seven Direct Disciples survived, but in his last will, Lud Li repeatedly warned Ye Zhen to be extremely cautious if he did encounter any surviving brother.

Any surviving brother would definitely include at least one traitor.

This was the source of Lud Li’s anguish; he desperately hoped his Direct Disciples could survive that calamity, but those who did might be traitors....

Beyond this, Lud Li also meticulously described each senior brother’s primary Cultivation Technique and significant characteristics to Ye Zhen.

From this, Ye Zhen could see that Master Lud Li wanted to identify the traitor so Ye Zhen could avenge him and cleanse the sect.

Compared to external enemies, internal traitors were more detestable.

As Lud Li stated, after his death, more than a million disciples of Mystical Mechanism Daoist School and millions of family members would likely be annihilated.

Not to mention the Mystical World where the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School resided, which had billions of people who wouldn’t fare any better.

No matter how transcendent Lud Li was, he still harbored immense rage.

After addressing the eight Direct Disciples, the next topic in the last will was the legacy of the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School.

The Mystical Mechanism Daoist School included all-encompassing Divine Power Secret Techniques, but the only thing within the school worthy of the title "inheritance" was the Mystical Mechanism Dao Method passed solely to the Sect Leader.

The Mystical Mechanism Dao Method was divided into two sections, the upper part being the Xuanling Scripture, the most secretive part of the entire Mystical Mechanism Daoist School and the Secret Technique with the strongest Killing Qi.

The Xuanling Scripture primarily focused on the Cultivation Secret Method of Primordial Spirit Power, with extraordinarily skilled means of attack, defense, and transformation. In terms of power, it could definitely rank in the top five among Ten Thousand Worlds.

Especially the attack techniques within Xuanling Scripture, which could make opponents’ souls disperse with a flick of the wrist.

Unfortunately, in Lud Li’s last will, only a brief overview of the Mystical Mechanism Dao Method’s upper section was included, without complete scriptural methods.

The reason was clearly stated by Master Lud Li: the secrets of the Xuanling Scripture cannot be described by mere words; they must be taught through a teacher’s Primordial Spirit-powered Secret Technique, allowing the learner to gain personal experience and thus possibly learn it.

However, the Divine Soul Power left in the Remnant Soul inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl after Lud Li’s life-and-death crisis was too weak—so weak that even if awakened, it couldn’t sustain a conversation for very long.

Let alone display Divine Skills to create a Secret Realm for the learner’s personal experience.

The required Primordial Spirit Power consumption was too staggering.

Even during Lud Li’s peak, teaching the Xuanling Scripture would consume a third of his Primordial Spirit Power.

Yet, the absence of the Xuanling Scripture in the last will did not mean it couldn’t be passed on to Ye Zhen, his Direct Disciple.

Lud Li was cautious by nature, always prepared.

Even though he hadn’t decided which of the eight Direct Disciples would become the second-generation Sect Leader, he had long since crafted an Inherited Spirit Jade Slip using Great Divine Power during his leisure.

Once he decided, he could bestow the Spirit Jade Slip upon the disciple, allowing them to comprehend and learn the various Secret Techniques within the Xuanling Scripture.

Sadly, before a decision could be made regarding the next Sect Leader, Lud Li fell.

Initially, when ambushed and sensing mortal peril, Lud Li wanted to act expediently, entrusting the position of second-generation Sect Leader and school legacy to the accompanying Seventh Brother Han Shizhe.

But unexpectedly, the enemy didn’t give him that chance; before he could use a Secret Technique to send Han Shizhe away, Seventh Brother Han Shizhe perished first.

Thus, the Inherited Spirit Jade Slip containing the Xuanling Scripture was preserved.

At that time, the Mirage Dragon Pearl had already reached Great Accomplishment. The virtually infinite space and safety features of the Mirage Dragon Pearl allowed Lud Li, as its owner, to store all his important belongings inside.

The contents of the Mirage Dragon Pearl weren’t disclosed in Lud Li’s last will, but all his possessions remained within.

Unfortunately, the Mirage Dragon Pearl was sealed by those people using Supreme Secret Method, and its space was subjected to Nine-Stage Seal.

This Nine-Stage Seal resembled prison walls, sealing the nine spaces of the Mirage Dragon Pearl into isolated compartments.

Lud Li’s personal items were separated and sealed within these Nine-Stage Sealed Spaces due to their different storage locations.

Because Lud Li’s personal items were placed in the middle, they were all sealed within the Sixth Stage, Seventh Stage, Eighth Stage, and Ninth Stage Sealed Spaces.

According to Master Lud Li, the first five stages Ye Zhen has unlocked are merely the outer spaces of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

As additional stages are unlocked, Lud Li’s personal items will gradually become accessible.

This tempted Ye Zhen, knowing that every item belonging to someone like Master Lud Li would be invaluable treasures even to a Martial Artist or Dao Realm Expert.

The most crucial legacy of the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School, the Xuanling Scripture, along with the Sect Leader’s Token and various Divine Power Secret Method Books, are contained within these last four Sealed Spaces.

The exact location of the Xuanling Scripture’s Inherited Spirit Jade Slip within the Sealed Spaces depends on Ye Zhen’s luck.

According to Master Lud Li, the Mirage Dragon Pearl was violently shaken when sealed, so even he doesn’t know which stage the Spirit Jade Slip is in.
