They still don't know whether the Lord of Dragonwood Island is a good person or a bad person.
The fate of those martial arts masters invited to Xia Ke Island by the Dragonwood Island Master remains unknown.
Thinking of this, Fusu suppressed his excitement and turned his gaze to Su Chen on the white jade platform.
Su Chen waited until everyone had finished discussing before opening his folding fan and saying loudly:
There are countless dynasties and sects in this world.
"The foundation upon which each sect is founded is its own unique and secret martial arts, which are never passed on to outsiders."
"Even if an ordinary martial arts practitioner accidentally obtains a secret martial arts manual, he will treasure it and not easily show it to others."
"The same goes for the Lord of Dragonwood Island."
"When they first obtained the Tai Xuan Jing, they were overjoyed and agreed never to pass it on to anyone else."
"The two of them cultivated on Xia Ke Island for sixty years."
"They were originally martial arts geniuses, and with the help of various rare medicinal herbs on the island, their progress was rapid."
"They have mastered all the martial arts techniques in the Tai Xuan Jing."
"They even comprehended some of the immortal chapters of the 'White-Haired Tai Xuan Scripture,' and became legendary immortal cultivators."
"But no matter how much they studied it later, they could not go any further and could never understand the true meaning of the Tai Xuan Jing."
"By then, they had already been poisoned without even realizing it."
"It turns out that although the Tai Xuan Jing is known as a top-level Taoist martial art, it hides a kind of evil that is not easy to detect."
"Anyone who has read the contents of the Tai Xuan Jing will become so engrossed in it that they will stop eating and drinking and only want to understand it completely."
"The Lord of Longmu Island showed no reaction to the outside world, focusing all his attention on studying the Tai Xuan Scripture for sixty years. This was because he was obsessed with the path of immortality and because he was controlled by this evil force, becoming a puppet of the Tai Xuan Scripture."
"They only became a little more aware of things when they realized that they couldn't understand the Tai Xuan Jing on their own."
"But by then they were too deeply poisoned and had long forgotten about hiding the Tai Xuan Jing."
"For them, comprehending the Tai Xuan Jing is the most important thing, and they are willing to make the Tai Xuan Jing public for it."
Inside the Dengtian Pavilion, an uproar erupted.
Previously, everyone found it strange that no matter how magical the Tai Xuan Jing was, it was still just a martial art. How could it control the behavior of the Dragonwood Island Master?
Only at this moment did they realize that the "Tai Xuan Jing" was actually an evil thing, just like the Jing Ji Dao.
On the surface, it is a Taoist martial art for cultivating immortality, but in reality, it harbors evil nature and will turn all practitioners into puppets without any distracting thoughts.
Just like how Huang Ying abandoned his wife and daughter, and gave up power and wealth, in order to be in sync with Jing Ji Dao.
In order to master the Tai Xuan Scripture, the Lord of Longmu Island also gave up everything and was trapped on the island for sixty years.
This is not normal human behavior; it's poisoning.
Thinking of this, those heroes of the martial arts world who originally yearned for the "Tai Xuan Jing" couldn't help but shudder.
Although the Tai Xuan Jing is a top-tier martial art for cultivating immortality, the risks of practicing it are too great.
By this time, everyone had a vague idea of why the Dragonwood Island Master descended the mountain every sixteen years.
Su Chen took a sip of tea and, before everyone had finished discussing, spoke directly:
"Now that I've said this, I'm sure you all understand."
“The Lord of Dragonwood Island descends the mountain once every sixteen years to invite top experts from all walks of life.”
"His aim was to gather wisdom from all sides and hope to understand the true meaning of the Tai Xuan Jing as soon as possible."
"Those experts who were invited to the island, whether they wanted to or not, would become obsessed with the contents of the Tai Xuan Jing and be unable to extricate themselves."
"That's why those masters who went to Xia Ke Island never returned."
"They are neither dead nor controlled by the Dragonwood Island Master."
"They are just like the Lord of Longmu Island, they have all been poisoned by the Tai Xuan Scripture, and they are single-mindedly studying the Tai Xuan Scripture on the island."
"There is no other place in the world with such a large-scale cultivation site."
"More importantly, Xia Ke Island is open to everyone. Anyone who sets foot on the island can freely study the Tai Xuan Jing, a martial art for cultivating immortality."
Chapter 116 Shocked
“Even the servants that the Dragonwood Island Master brought to the island could freely look at the contents and diagrams of the Tai Xuan Jing.”
"But none of these people truly understand the Tai Xuan Jing; they can't even reach the level of the Dragonwood Island Master."
"But after decades of practice, their martial arts skills have improved significantly."
"Now, there are many experts on Xia Ke Island, and quite a few of them have reached the Divine Travel Mystic Realm."
"Even those servants who couldn't read a single word, after being influenced for a long time, all reached the level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm and even knew some exquisite moves."
"It's no exaggeration to say that Xia Ke Island is the number one holy land for cultivating immortality in the world."
"It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."
"Unless someone can fully understand the meaning of the Tai Xuan Jing."
"Otherwise, no one can leave this place."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the hall.
Although everyone had vaguely guessed something before, they were still incredibly surprised after hearing Su Chen's explanation.
The poisons described in the Tai Xuan Jing are surprisingly potent.
To everyone else, this was absolutely insane.
Needless to say, the Lord of Longmu Island had the deepest understanding of the Tai Xuan Scripture and was the most influenced by it. He had long since lost his original mind and become a puppet controlled by the Tai Xuan Scripture.
What shocked everyone even more was that the hundreds of martial arts masters who went to the island voluntarily or were forced to do so were all influenced by the Tai Xuan Jing.
It's important to understand that not all of these masters are obsessed with martial arts; some value their families.
But they all became slaves to the Tai Xuan Jing.
This is enough to show how terrifying the hidden secrets of the Tai Xuan Jing are; no one can escape them.
Only now do people understand why those heroes who were invited to the island never returned.
The entire Xia Ke Island is a natural cage!
This cage has no walls and doesn't need guards, but it's more sturdy than any other cage.
What is most impressive is Xia Ke Dao's current strength.
The Tai Xuan Jing is, after all, a supreme method for progressing from martial arts to immortality.
The martial arts techniques recorded inside are top-tier skills in the martial arts world.
Those experts who went to the island, and even the servants, all greatly increased their power because of this method, and the worst of them reached the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm!
What an amazing secret!
The realm of carefree heaven is already considered masterful in the martial arts world.
For example, a swordsman in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm can be called a Sword Immortal, which shows how high this realm is.
People like Ximen Chuixue and Mu Daoren, who are famous in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, are only at the Great Freedom Realm within the Freedom Realm.
Such a level of skill wouldn't even qualify someone as a menial servant on Xia Ke Island.
Many of those former martial arts masters reached the realm of divine travel after comprehending the "Tai Xuan Jing"!
Such news made those martial arts heroes who were originally afraid of the "Tai Xuan Jing" involuntarily tempted again.
Putting aside everything else, for most people in the martial arts world, the carefree realm is their lifelong pursuit.
On Xia Ke Island, this goal can be achieved with ease.
Moreover, Xia Ke Island should be the only cultivation holy land in the world that is open to everyone.
If you want to cultivate immortality, come to Xia Ke Dao!
Even if you enter as a menial servant, you will still have the opportunity to observe the supreme immortal technique, the "Tai Xuan Jing".
Such an opportunity is one that you won't find again anywhere else in the world.
Suddenly, the crowd in the hall began to chatter again:
"Heavens! I didn't expect that all those martial arts masters who were invited to Xia Ke Island are still alive."
"This is truly astonishing. For decades, everyone thought those masters who were taken away were dead. Who would have thought they were still alive?"
"The Tai Xuan Jing is terrifying. Even the Dragonwood Island Master and the top martial arts masters of the past few hundred years couldn't escape its influence?"
"If the Celestial Immortal hadn't said it himself, I really wouldn't have believed that such an evil thing really existed in the world."
"What a terrifying Xia Ke Island! Masters who can travel to the realm of divine wandering are everywhere. Even the servants who serve tea and water have the power of the Xiaoyao Tian realm or above."
"Our sect leader hasn't even reached the Free and Unfettered Realm yet. If I have the chance, I definitely want to go to Hero Island, even if it's just to do menial tasks!"
"How foolish! Xia Ke Island is extremely dangerous. Don't go there casually. If you end up like Island Master Longmu, trapped on the island for the rest of your life, what's the difference between that and being dead?"
"There's also the supreme immortal technique, the 'Tai Xuan Jing,' on Xia Ke Island. Rather than living a mundane life, I might as well give it a shot. Maybe I'm the genius who can comprehend the 'Tai Xuan Jing'!"
"Yes! Although Xia Ke Island is dangerous, the opportunities are also great. As long as someone can comprehend the Tai Xuan Jing, they can leave."
"I think that once this news gets out, a large number of martial arts practitioners will flock to Xia Ke Island. The era of cultivating immortality is coming!"
In the third private room on the south side of the fifteenth floor.
He exclaimed in alarm, "My God! Xia Ke Island is terrifying! The island is full of experts from the Xiaoyao Tianjing realm!"
"not like this."
"Those people in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm are nothing more than errand boys."
"The martial arts masters invited by the Dragonwood Island Master have probably already entered the Divine Realm."
Bao Butong shook his head as he spoke.
The people in the private room were stunned when they heard this.
This is the pinnacle of secular martial arts, a level that few in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world openly reach.
