Um
Hearing the Dark Demon King's words, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. The fact that he could come here meant that the Dark Demon King had discovered something special about him. After all, he knew very well what it meant for one person to open the three tokens alone.
But even so, the Dark Demon King still reminded him that the artistic conception on the stone wall was not so easy to comprehend, which showed that the artistic conception on the stone wall was probably somewhat special!
Thinking of this, Yang Qi immediately looked at the stone wall in front of him, only to see that the stone wall was gray and there was no trace of anything. It was just like a dark gray wall.
"this… "
Looking at the stone wall in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but frowned slightly. Generally speaking, when comprehending the artistic conception, some traces would be left as a guide, but there was everything on the stone wall in front of him, which was a bit too strange.
"Is it inside the stone wall?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he immediately released his perception completely, carefully sensing the stone wall in front of him.
"Such a strong perception, how strong is this soul?"
Noticing Yang Qi's strong perception, the Dark Demon King's expression changed drastically. Perception is closely related to the soul. A strong perception does not mean a strong soul. If the soul is strong, then the perception must be strong.
Yang Qi has mastered the real soul means and is obviously extremely talented in the soul. Such a powerful perception naturally comes from Yang Qi's soul. However, this is the first time that the Dark Demon King has seen such a powerful soul.
The Dark Demon King's gaze fell on Yang Qi, and he thought to himself, "Such a powerful soul is probably even more powerful than me at my peak."
Creatures with similar strengths should have similar soul strengths. Even if some creatures are born with strong souls, they cannot be this strong. Yang Qi's soul strength has far exceeded the level his soul should be at.
Yang Qi's perception fell on the stone wall, sweeping every inch of the stone wall and sensing it carefully. A vague artistic conception appeared in his perception.
“This mood is…”
Yang Qi sensed the fluctuations of the artistic conception and quickly searched in his mind. The next moment, his pupils shrank and he suddenly exclaimed, "This is the way of shadow!"
The Way of Shadow!
There is indeed a kind of artistic conception on the stone wall, but it is an artistic conception carved by a martial king based on his own Tao. It is different from the normal artistic conception. This artistic conception is more perfect and natural. To a certain extent, this artistic conception can no longer be regarded as a real artistic conception, but belongs to the level of Tao!
It would be fine if it was just the level of Tao, after all, what was carved out was still the artistic conception, but what was recorded on the stone wall was actually the Tao of Shadow, which was far beyond Yang Qi's expectations.
The Way of Shadow is an extremely rare Way. Not to mention how talented one is in this Way, because it is so rare, it is very difficult to learn from the insights and experiences of predecessors.
“Yes, it is indeed the way of shadow. It is also the way for this old man to enter the realm of Martial King, and it is also the way for this old man to become famous.” The Dark Demon King chuckled.
The Dark Demon King was most proud of his achievements in the Way of Shadow, besides saving his life at the hands of the Martial Emperor. He was only one step away from realizing the Perfect Way of Shadow and entering the Martial Emperor realm. By then, he would not be afraid even if he faced the veteran Martial Emperors of the four major forces!
“Unfortunately, I died before I could comprehend the perfect level of the Way of Shadow. So your test this time is to comprehend the artistic conception of the Way of Shadow on the stone wall. If you achieve a small level of success, you can obtain all the treasures I left behind.” The Dark Demon King looked at Yang Qi and said.
Hearing the words of the Dark Demon King, a bitter smile appeared on Yang Qi's face. The Way of Shadow was extremely rare. Even if he possessed the inherited memories of another Martial Emperor, he had no insights that he could learn from.
The Shadow Path is good at hiding and saving lives. Although it is not strong in frontal combat, it is recognized as a difficult path. Because the Shadow Path has another function, which is to create a shadow clone!
A cultivator at the Martial Emperor level can use special means to create a clone. For example, the clone of the Light Emperor who appeared at the headquarters of the Light God Cult in the Purple Star Continent and was about to assimilate the resurrected corpse was a clone created by the power of faith. In addition to the power of faith, there are other means of creating clones, but most of them require cultivators to reach the Martial Emperor level.
It is very difficult for a Martial King Realm to create an avatar, but it is not impossible. With the help of special treasures or special ways, one can also create an avatar. The Way of Shadow is a very famous way in the Martial King Realm that can create an avatar.
"Dark Demon King, Way of Shadow, Shadow Clone, is this the origin of your name?" Yang Qi sighed.
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the Dark Demon King's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at Yang Qi deeply, and then slowly said, "You actually know about the Shadow Clone. It seems that your origin is not simple."
The Way of Shadow is very rare, and not many practitioners know about it. Yang Qi not only knows it, but he even knows the core secrets of the Way of Shadow. Even the Shadow Clone knows it so well, which also surprised the Dark Demon King.
“I have only seen it in some books.” Yang Qi smiled calmly and continued, “No wonder you can roam the five star regions. With your shadow clone, I am afraid no one can discover your true self.”
The Way of Shadow itself is good at concealment. Combined with the Shadow Clone, and the fact that the Dark Demon King has mastered the true soul means, a practitioner at the King of Martial Arts level might not even know who the Dark Demon King's true body is.
"Yes, ordinary practitioners are indeed unable to discover my true identity. Unfortunately, the four major forces have warriors at the Martial Emperor level." The Dark Demon King smiled bitterly and continued, "When I fought with that Martial Emperor, although I managed to save my life, I knew that I was exposed."
Emperor Wu
Yang Qi sighed in his heart, the Dark Demon King's shadow clone was indeed powerful, but he was only at the Martial King level after all, and the way of shadow had not reached the perfect level at all. Compared with the Martial Emperor who had reached the perfect level in at least one way, there was still a huge gap in realm, so it was not surprising that he was seen through by the other party.
“So I immediately hid the treasures that I had plundered for countless years and left a backup plan just in case. Even if I die, these treasures will never be left to the practitioners of the four major forces.” The Dark Demon King sneered.
Although Yang Qi didn't know when the Dark Demon King died, judging from the Dark Demon King's tone, he was probably surrounded and killed by the four major forces not long after he fought with the Martial Emperor.
“Young man, meditate carefully. You only have nine days. If you succeed, all the treasures I left behind will be yours.” The Dark Demon King chuckled, and then his figure faded and disappeared from the hall.
"The Way of Shadow!"
Looking at the stone wall in front of him, Yang Qi had a bitter smile on his face. He had no talent in the way of shadow. He had sensed before that his safety was only due to his strong soul. (To be continued)
