Chapter One Fainted

  The God of War left, Xiao Zhan shook his head and began to explore the secrets of the armor. Wearing the armor, he not only felt no weight at all, but also felt as light as a swallow, it was as if he was wearing clothes instead of armor. But when his feet touched the ground, the dull sound told him that the weight of this armor was absolutely not light.

  The War God Armor, apart from being unable to feel its weight, was also extremely comfortable to wear. The Thirty-six Styles of Gathering Star Fist were executed one by one, flowing like clouds and water, without any hindrance whatsoever. During this time, Xiao Zhan couldn't even feel the existence of the armor. As he continued to execute his fist techniques, Xiao Zhan felt that this armor was not only like human skin, allowing him to clearly perceive changes in his surroundings, but it could also absorb, refine, and send the Heaven and Earth's primal energy into his body on its own.

  I remember the War God saying that the War God armor can balance one's cultivation and spiritual power. His spiritual power is 5 million Fa, so his true yuan must be balanced with this. Of course, Fa is a unit of power from the previous life, converted to crystal it would be 5 million crystals, far exceeding the peak of the Broken Calamity realm. Originally, his true yuan was only 1000 crystals, but after being amplified by the War God armor, it reached an astonishing 500 times increase.

  Although these are all virtual and not his true strength, Xiao Zhan was still extremely excited. It's hard to imagine that the War God Armor was restricted and yet there was such a heaven-defying amplification, if there was no restriction, what kind of level would it reach?

  Wearing the War God's armor, Xiao Zhan played with it for a while. With a thought, he transformed the armor into a set of clothes. Although its shape had changed, the amplification effect remained, and now that the War God's armor belonged to him, this amplification effect was entirely under his control. After some thought, Xiao Zhan cancelled the amplification effect; he didn't want to indulge in such illusory power.

  After a moment of excitement, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but think of a very realistic problem. He had been in the Temple of War for an unknown amount of time, especially on the 999th step, which was difficult to estimate. This made him very worried. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan called out Little Honey.

  Suddenly, Xiao Mi was very happy and kept looking around, with a very curious expression. After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao Mi's interest had not diminished, Xiao Zhan could only say: "Xiao Mi, how long have I been in this War God Temple?"

  Xiao Mi was sizing up the armored warriors in the grand hall, and upon hearing this, she chuckled and said: "Master, don't worry. When passing through the 999 levels of stairs, time is stagnant there. Master will be inside the War God Temple for less than a day, nothing to worry about."

  Xiao Hui let out a sigh and said: "Little Honey, what did you and Zhan Shen talk about?"

  Xiao Mi smiled and said: "Nothing much, just got a better understanding of the Temple of War Gods."

  "What's in this Temple of War Gods?"

  Xiao Mi exclaimed: "The War God Temple stores the top martial arts of the war clan from ancient times to the present, even the treasured manuals of the four strongest warriors of the war clan can be found. In comparison, the martial arts in the Wu Ge are just a pile of discarded goods, they're trash, not worth mentioning."

  Xiao Zhan's eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed with uncontainable joy: "What are we waiting for? Let's go copy the secret recipe now!"

  "Wait! Wait!"

  Xiao Mi pointed to the armor-clad warriors standing inside the grand hall and chuckled, "Each of these armors is a sacred artifact. Why not collect them all, Master? You can wear them to play when you have nothing better to do in the future?"

  "Holy Vessel?"

  Xiao Mi explained: "These are the armor left behind by the War God's lineage, from ancient times to the present, for those who have cultivated and entered sainthood. Although they are far inferior to the War God's armor, they are already the best war armors in the world that are hard to come by. Moreover, these armors all have a common characteristic, which is that except for those with the War God's bloodline, others cannot wear them. Now there are only two left of the War God's lineage, and leaving them here is just a waste, it's better to collect them all and make them the master's collection."

  Good things are naturally kept for oneself to enjoy, Xiao Zhan highly agrees with Xiaomi's opinion, and can't help but nod: "Since these are all sacred artifacts, it shouldn't be easy to collect them, right?"

  Xiao Mi's face lit up with a smile, and she said confidently: "It's just a small matter, let me handle it."

  As soon as she finished speaking, the armored warriors standing in the great hall all disappeared, but the two female armor beside the throne remained. Before Xiao Zhan could ask for the reason, Xiaomi Huan exclaimed excitedly: "Master, let's go!"

  After finishing, he jumped and skipped ahead to lead the way, leaving Xiao Zhan to bitterly smile and shake his head, helplessly following behind.

  The place where martial arts are stored in the Temple of War God is called Wu Dian. The storage of martial arts manuals here is different from that of the armory, and it is classified according to the type of martial arts. Common martial arts like sword, spear and gun are classified separately, while those less common ones are classified together.

  Xiao Zhan, since he wants to learn swordsmanship, naturally has to enter the Cangjian Wu Ku. However, before going, he still needs to see the martial arts left by the four strongest of the War Clan. Now that he has obtained the "War God Record", if he can also obtain the other three volumes, it would be wonderful.

  The four strongest left behind a treasure that was stored separately, but when Xiao Zhan arrived at the storage location with great anticipation, he was extremely disappointed. In the independent secret room, he only saw a single sword manual, and as for the other three, they were not seen at all.

  Xiao Zhan's eyebrows didn't even twitch as he said, "The four strongest left behind what kind of treasure? Why is there only one book?"

  "Battle God Record", "Tianmo Gong", "Magic Canon" and "Mingyue Sword Canon". As for why only one book is unknown, but the master of "Battle God Record" and "Tianmo Gong" has already obtained it, and the "Magic Canon" is unknown where it went.

  Xiao Zhan was shocked and said: "When did I get the 'Tian Mo Gong'?"

  Xiao Mi smiled and said: "Master, have you forgotten that when you first became an apprentice, your cheap master had already given you the 'Tian Mo Gong'?"

  Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up with excitement, but in an instant he furrowed his brow and said, "The ring can't be opened, it's as good as not having one."

  Xiao Mi comforted: "Master's 'Omnipotent Decryption' has been upgraded to level 4, it's not difficult to successfully open it."

  Xiao Zhan nodded, then grabbed the "Mingyue Sword Classic" in one go. His gaze touched the four characters on the cover, and instantly, a fierce sword intent shook his soul, making him feel as if he was on the battlefield of Asura, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere, and an atmosphere of destruction filling the sky and earth.

  Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the brutal swordsmanship in "Ba Jian Dao", and he immediately stopped flipping through it, his mind still reeling as he wondered: "How can this set of sword moves be so fierce?"

  Xiao Mi nodded and said, "This is a swordsmanship manual about the way of slaughter and destruction. Its value is comparable to 'Ba Jian Dao', it's extremely powerful." Seeing Xiao Zhan wanting to put it in his ring, Xiao Mi stopped him, saying: "Master, why not copy a copy? If you seal it away now, won't the future generations of the Mingyue clan have nothing to learn?"

  Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, I'll leave it to you. After we've finished copying, we can go to the other armories. Now that we've entered the treasure trove, how could we possibly return empty-handed? Let's try to copy everything we can."

  Before long, under Xiao Mi's superb skills, a secret book that looked exactly the same on the surface appeared. Of course, it was only the same on the surface, this copied sword manual used ordinary paper, and naturally couldn't be compared to the original. Putting away the copied "Mingyue Sword Manual", Xiao War arrived at the armory specifically for collecting sword techniques.

  As soon as he entered the arsenal, the space inside was many times larger than those hidden book rooms in the Wu Ge. The secret books stored here were endless at a glance. Xiao Hui was somewhat unexpected by so many swordsmanship secrets, and after asking Xiao Mi, he learned that the worst of these secrets could allow people to cultivate to the Xuanwu realm, and the strongest could make people become the strongest.

  This is also too exaggerated! The martial way is divided into immortal martial arts, virtual martial arts, mysterious martial arts, vegetarian martial arts, and sacred martial arts. The strongest is the sacred martial arts. The vast swordsmanship secrets are all above the mysterious martial arts, and this war clan can actually collect so many swordsmanship secrets!

  However, after Xiao Mi's explanation, Xiao Zhan also let it go. The years of the War Clan's existence in Tianyuan were only counted in tens of millions, and as for how long the War Clan existed before coming to Tianyuan, no one knew at all.

  Choosing a secret recipe to copy was difficult for Xiao Zhan, and with his cultivation, he didn't know how to choose. Looking at the vast array of secret recipes in front of him, he was happily troubled.
