Chapter 1078: Chapter 427: Hidden Motives
The Heavenly Tablet is indeed a stone stele.
The top is slanted and pointed, as if a piece is missing, and the whole is composed of rhombus-shaped stones.
The front is densely engraved with text.
With just a fleeting glance, ‘Zhen Suren’ couldn’t immediately take in the whole picture.
Only it can be seen that quite a bit of the content is from the so-called ‘Medical Scripture.’
And upon further inspection, several sections were recorded, entirely different from the content above.
Among them, three sections form a whole, named: Heaven Repairing Technique.
The remaining two sections each have their own titles; one is named: Life and Death Tribulation.
The final section is marked with two characters: Inheritance.
These last two sections, along with the Heaven Repairing Technique and Medical Scripture content, are clearly different.
Obviously engraved for posterity.
The depth of the engravings, the strokes, and the handwriting are entirely different from the content above.
After a quick glance, ‘Zhen Suren’ barely took a look at the Life and Death Tribulation, but found the content deep and hard to understand, even more complex than the Medical Scripture content.
His eyes chased the words, but after just two glances, he fell into an Illusion Realm.
Immediately, he quickly maneuvered a breath of Inner Strength, not daring to look further.
But when his gaze fell onto the Inheritance, he discovered that the first few sentences on the Inheritance were recordings.
[Emperor Xuan commanded, utilizing the Heavenly Tablet, to refine the Immortal Pill.]
[The ministers objected, claiming disaster would follow once the pill was refined.]
[The Emperor was furious, blood splattered the Imperial Court.]
[Following this, the Hidden Doctors was made Saints, crafting the Divine Pill in the arsenal.]
[Saints were terrified, fled overseas with the Heavenly Tablet before the pill was complete…]
“This is…”
‘Zhen Suren’s’ pupils slightly contracted:
“The Heavenly Tablet truly has a connection to immortality…
“And this Longmu Island lineage, as expected, is indeed the descendants of the Hidden Medical Sect from years past.
“They didn’t want to refine the Immortality Pill for Emperor Xuan, so they fled with the Heavenly Tablet.
“It’s just… they probably didn’t expect it.
“They didn’t want to refine the Immortality Pill for Emperor Xuan.
“Yet their descendants also pursue the method of immortality.
“Head Swapping Technique, stealing bodies…
“All follow this path!
“Compared to Emperor Xuan, their means are even bloodier.”
As he pondered these, he couldn’t help but sigh softly.
He’s certainly seen records about the Hidden Medical Sect, even more than Gai Huatu.
Every member of this sect is a master of unparalleled medical skill.
Yet it’s unexpected that the people carrying on the Saint’s legacy have gone astray, and even now, the skills left by their ancestors are close to being lost.
Otherwise, why would the Island Master be seeking help from outsiders?
Single-mindedly chasing so-called immortality, isn’t it just an upside-down interpretation?
‘Zhen Suren’s’ thoughts turned, finally setting his gaze on ‘Shi Cheng.’
Underneath the calm expression, there was a tinge of helplessness.
“How did things come full circle, and you ended up here lying down…
“But even so, it’s fine, wait until the Longmu Island Master has taught you almost all his Inner Strength, then I’ll rescue you.
“I’ll take the Heavenly Tablet, you take the Inner Strength, and we’ll be gone in a flash.
“Su, the Chief of the Escort thinks he’s clever, but he’s just holding off these people on Longmu Island for us outside.
“When we look back, we’ll have devoured everything and left Old Su with nothing!”
The thought nearly made him laugh out loud.
But he didn’t know what else he thought of, and his mood darkened again.
While pondering, he saw the Island Master struggling to get the Heavenly Tablet out of the carriage.
His Infinite Strength made him breathe heavily only because he was unwell.
The Heavenly Tablet in his hands seemed weightless.
He casually placed the Heavenly Tablet in front of him, exhaled deeply, gently rubbed the stone surface of the stele, and then flicked it with his finger.
With a buzz!
A faint light ascended from the Heavenly Tablet.
Instantly enveloping the surroundings.
‘Zhen Suren’ felt his heart tremble, feeling his blood unexpectedly surging on its own.
Even more, the speed of Inner Strength flow was slightly faster than usual.
Under such circumstances, if he were to cultivate Inner Strength…
Would it yield twice the results with half the effort?
His thoughts raced, just hearing the Longmu Island Master let out a sigh:
“Heaven Repairing Technique… Heaven Repairing Technique…
“Success is Heaven Repairing Technique, failure is Heaven Repairing Technique.
“In a prison of one’s own making, life and death are difficult.
“Am I the master of the stele, or is the stele my master?
“Today, I’m betting everything…
“Can I truly create a chance for survival again?
“Two hundred swift years…
“Still cannot completely forget the past…”
He murmured to himself, spoke no further, sat cross-legged, his body solid as a mountain.
His gaze emitted electricity, as Mystical Skill circulated, ‘Shi Cheng,’ who lay steadily on the stone bed, was lifted with Inner Strength.
He floated up to his head, Baihui acupoint aligned with the Island Master’s Baihui acupoint.
Their heads faced each other, the Island Master spread his hands, ‘Shi Cheng’s’ hands naturally opened, one with palms facing up, the other with palms facing down.
Their ten fingers interlocked, vigorous Inner Strength soared to the heavens.
“Hmph!”
A muffled hum escaped ‘Shi Cheng’s’ mouth, his face distorted, feeling torrents of boundless Inner Strength forcibly entered his body.
Yet it did not form a cultivation path within him, but incessantly flushed his meridians, propelling blood flow, his heart like a drum, sounding like thunder.
‘Zhen Suren’ was dumbfounded by the Island Master’s words.
Feeling as though something had gone wrong.
