An Ultimate Martial Art

As the first change on this flat road, he didn't underestimate it in the slightest.    

This pool of water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. Looking at it, there did not seem to be any danger. One even had the urge to squat down, grab a handful of water, and enjoy the sweet taste of water.    

However, Su Ye was still able to quickly tell that it was not ordinary.    

The water in this puddle was actually formed from pure water element spiritual energy. Although it was not comparable to the water source condensed by the Water Emperor, it was definitely the purest water element spiritual energy he had ever seen.    

After the Houtian level spiritual energy continued to degenerate, such a pure pool of water type spiritual energy was truly rare. If it was condensed into top quality water type spirit stones, then it could at least condense 10,000.    

In the puddles of water, there was a type of restriction.    

The moment someone touched or passed a puddle, it would trigger the restriction, and the restriction would turn into a chain of water waves, trapping the person in the puddle.    

If one wasn't proficient in restriction techniques, it would be difficult to avoid this kind of restriction.    

As a fire element cultivator, if a fire shrine expert were to encounter this type of water restriction, they could only forcefully break it.    

But to Su Ye, it was not troublesome at all. He himself was a water element cultivator.    

Su Ye didn't need to do anything, he just used his hand to insert into the puddle of water. The Primordial Water Essence Immortal Scripture was activated, and in an instant, his hand became a pumping machine, sucking up all the water in the puddle, and the pure water type spiritual energy inside became his energy for nourishing lives.    

Having lost the water-type spiritual energy, the restrictions broke on their own.    

Su Ye was unharmed and immediately jumped over the puddle and continued forward.    

This puddle of water seemed to have become a small episode on Su Ye's path forward, as simple as casually picking up fifty cents on the road of life. However, Su Ye did not let his guard down, because he knew that the appearance of this puddle of water was a sort of omen, a premonition that all sorts of troubles would occur on this road.    

Indeed.    

After crossing the puddle, he hadn't even walked three miles when another trouble arose.    

A slope appeared.    

It was estimated that the slope was at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground. The slope was 100 meters long and only after 100 meters did the horizontal spread resume.    

Other than that, there was nothing else that stood in his way.    

Su Ye's eyes flashed. In that instant, he could tell that this slope was filled with the profound mysteries of the Earth elemental Great Way, and this section of slope had an extraordinary gravity.    

The moment Su Ye stepped onto the slope, a strong force of gravity quickly acted upon his entire body. Not only did his body feel extremely heavy, even the blood in his body began to show a strong stagnation. The blood pressure in his body increased at a very terrifying speed, as if a bomb was stuffed into his body, causing his bones to shatter at any time.    

Powerful!    

This gravity was at least twenty times stronger than normal. Without a Greater Heaven stage cultivation base, it would be impossible to withstand. And this is just the bottom of the slope. According to Su Ye's observation, as the slope continued upwards, the gravity would continue to increase. At the top of the slope, the gravity would probably reach a rather terrifying level.    

With Su Ye's cultivation, he was confident that he would be able to overcome the gravity. However, he did not plan to take it head-on. With his original understanding of the Great Dao of Earth, it wouldn't be difficult for him to dissolve the gravity on the slope.    

He had a thought.    

A touch of heavenly essence was released. Su Ye's footsteps changed, and he had already used an ingenious technique — — Da Kun Bu!    

His feet stepped on some invisible nodes on the slope. The seemingly hard slope surface actually rippled like it was made of water, and the powerful gravity that acted on Su Ye's body scattered one after another.    

Su Ye walked up the slope step by step, and he became even faster. His body was like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the peak of the slope.    

If he could not neutralize the hundred fold gravity, he would have to use his body to withstand it. If he did not have a cultivation base at the peak of the Innate realm, he would simply be courting death. Those who didn't do anything could directly use gravity to penetrate the internal organs and forcefully crush them into pieces.    

But as Su Ye stood there, he wore a smile, and did not have the slightest bit of influence. It could be seen that his comprehension of the Earth element had reached a rather profound level.    

Taking a step forward, Su Ye crossed the slope.    

Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him. He turned his head to look, and saw that at the hundred meter slope, a layer of light was rising, holding onto a jade piece.    

"Eh, there's actually another opportunity!"    

Su Ye muttered in shock, he did not hold back as he took the jade piece from his. He knew that it was a jade slip, and that there should be some content inside. His eyes instantly lit up as he probed it with a wisp of his consciousness. Right, it was as if an ancient treasured sword had suddenly burst forth with a peerless sword light.    

"Earth Elemental Scripture!"    

This was actually an Earth Type secret manual that the ancient natives had cultivated. For Su Ye, who was eager to gather more of these ancient cultivation manuals, this was a pleasant surprise, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.    

Su Ye could not wait and started to comprehend the Earth Scripture.    

Ten minutes later, Su Ye's expression withered.    

It was true that the Earth Elemental Scripture was a cultivation technique for the ancient people, but the quality was too low. It was far from comparable to a secret scripture like the Immemorial Water Essence Immortal Scripture.    

In fact, if he brought it to Fire God Continent, it would at most be comparable to a Grade Nine Fire Refining Art. In other words, even the eighth level Xuanhuo Meridian that Su Ye had obtained from Wu Lin at the beginning was more precious than the Earth Classic.    

However, Su Ye was not disappointed.    

To him, what he lacked was just an introduction. As long as he had a primer, based on his understanding of the Five Elements Great Dao, he would be able to grasp this primer and step onto the path of cultivation. Although the Earth Elemental Scripture was not good, it was enough to be a primer.    

What exactly was ahead of him, Su Ye did not know. Without a specific goal, Su Ye was not in a hurry to travel. Thus, he decided to study the Earth Elemental Scripture on the spot and use his own comprehension of the Earth element to modify it.    

To Su Ye, modifying a cultivation technique was already a piece of cake. It was a pity that Su Ye's comprehension of the Earth Great Way could not be compared to the Fire Great Way. After all, his enormous Great Way of the Fire was built on Wan Shihuo's Fire Scripture and the Fire God Hall's enormous library foundation, far surpassing the other four Great Way of the Five Elements by many times.    

As a result, with his current comprehension of the Great Way of the Earth, even if he did his best, he could barely modify the Earth Elemental Scripture into a seventh grade cultivation technique, which was much worse than the first time Su Ye modified the Xuanhuo Meridian.    

Even so, Su Ye was still satisfied.    

The grade of the Earth Elemental Scripture was a lot higher than that of the Grade Nine Earth Scripture. If one wanted to try cultivating it, he or she could at least start it off.    

However, after much deliberation, Su Ye dispelled the impulse to immediately cultivate the Earth Scripture. There was no other reason: he was not prepared well, it was dangerous!    

Back then in the Fire God Shrine's Book Collection Vault, Su Ye had thought about the issue of water and fire counteracting each other. Seeing that his Xuanhuo Meridian had been modified to a considerably high level, he was in a hurry to cultivate it.    

In the end, water and fire counterforces each other's powers, making it impossible to stop the training. In the end, he had to use his comprehension of yin and yang to forcefully create the Yin and Yang Qi, allowing him to successfully cultivate water and fire elemental energy.    

During this entire process, he had experienced many hardships, and had wandered back and forth before the gates of hell. If not for the mysterious crystal's display of power, which had accidentally helped him cultivate to the Upper Sky Realm and formed a resonance between his heart and kidney, he might not have been able to achieve the balance of Yin Yang energy in the end.    

If he were to learn more of the Earth Classic, it would definitely create a new conflict. Currently, due to the appearance of the Earth Element's elemental energy, the Yin and Yang Energies needed to re-establish a balance. The balance of fire and water was not that easy, not to mention there was an Earth Element.    

Without complete preparation, the earth element failed to cultivate and even caused the balance of fire and water to collapse due to the involvement of the earth element.    

Thus, after considering it over, Su Ye decided to keep the Earth Travelling Scripture away for the time being. He didn't want to take this risk until he had figured out the key to balance the water, fire, and earth elements in his body, and had even cultivated the corresponding Spleen of the Five Organs to the Innate Spleen.    

He only had one life, so he couldn't casually put it up as a wager.    

Then, Su Ye resumed his journey.    

The facts proved that Su Ye's choice was not wrong.    

After passing through the slope, he encountered a few more troubles. He encountered a giant blocking the way made of stone. He encountered a strange undulating path that could emit strange pulses. He even climbed a thousand feet high mountain …    

Surprisingly, these were all obstacles related to the Earth elemental Great Dao. After fighting his way through, he had unexpectedly obtained three more manuals related to the Earth elemental Great Dao.    

After comprehending these three books, Su Ye's comprehension on the Great Way of the Earth had become much deeper, and his Earth Elemental Scripture had been continuously modified to become a rank 5 cultivation technique. It was at least ten times more profound than his previous Earth Elemental Scripture.    

Only now did Su Ye understand that this road was indeed littered with all sorts of troubles, but he would obtain the appropriate rewards for conquering every kind of difficulty. If this situation continued, he would only get further and further in his mastery of the Earth element, and the quality of the Earth Elemental Scripture would also get higher and higher.    

As a result, Su Ye became more and more confident.    

He placed the Earth Elemental Scripture in the bottom of his storage ring and proceeded forward, not in a hurry to cultivate it. Instead, he placed his attention on the road beneath him and purposely quickened his pace, hoping to obtain more benefits related to the Earth Dao in order to build his Fire Elemental Great Dao.    

However, what surprised him was that after a long journey, he actually did not run into any more trouble.    

Until three days later.    

Su Ye also felt a little tired, and could only sit down and rest.    

After he recovered, he continued on his journey. After he traveled another hundred miles, everything suddenly became clear again. A wide plain appeared before his eyes. A huge tree stood upright on this plain, attracting his gaze.
