An Ultimate Martial Art

Su Ye didn't even know where that golden lightning came from. All he knew was that in that instant, his entire soul had shrunk into a ball as he trembled, completely crushed by that destructive pressure until he was about to disintegrate into nothingness.    

However, it was clear that the gold bolt of lightning was aimed straight at the stone tablet, and did not even put Su Ye, the little ant, in its eyes. It rushed towards the stone tablet and smashed down fiercely, ferociously, as if it wanted to destroy the stone tablet.    

However, that stele was no pushover either. It erupted with resplendent rays of light, colliding head-on with the golden lightning. It was a completely head-on collision, similarly violent, violent, and infuriated.    

Su Ye could swear that he had never seen such a terrifying collision between the two types of energy before. Even if it was just a small spark produced from the collision, it seemed to contain endless profound mysteries, as if he could see a world instantly rise and fall within that spark.    

In comparison, the grand scene that was created when Luo An and Mo Xingtian clashed once, was nothing compared to the two forces in front of him. It was so insignificant that it was not even worth mentioning.    

Su Ye was both shocked and regretful.    

He was terrified because he was too minuscule. In front of the golden lightning and the stone tablet, he was no different from dust. He could be crushed into nothingness at any time.    

Unfortunately, his cultivation base was too low and his horizons were too narrow. At this moment, if his cultivation was a bit higher, if he was in the Esoteric Immortality Realm, he would probably be able to comprehend countless mysteries of the world just by looking at this collision.    

This was a regret that could not be grasped even though a great opportunity was right before his eyes.    

However, compared to this regret, Su Ye would rather be able to escape from this crisis. Compared to surviving, he would rather not have this chance.    

However, it was impossible for him to escape. He did not even dare to move, for fear of being crushed by the aftermath of the collision.    

He could only wait, silently waiting …    

The golden lightning carried an incomparable destructive force. The broken stone tablet similarly possessed the determination to destroy the other party. This seemed to be the clash of two terrifying wills. However, it seemed that both parties possessed equal strength.    

They collided again and again, countless times, hundreds of millions of times in an instant.    

As the clash intensified, both sides seemed to have consumed a lot of energy. The golden lightning was no longer as fast and violent, and the stone tablet had become even more broken until it was only half its original size. However, the two sides seemed to view life and death as a great enmity, and did not stop there.    

Su Ye waited in silence until the last collision ended. Then, the golden lightning, with a tinge of unwillingness, disappeared with a sad cry, as if it couldn't completely crush the stone tablet into nothingness. As for the stone tablet, it was also shattered into countless pieces. It no longer had any consciousness left, and from a certain sense, it was no different from a shattered piece of nothingness.    

The moment the stone tablet completely shattered, Su Ye was pleasantly surprised to find that the Gate of the Mystery had also disappeared at the same time. After that, he discovered that he had already returned into his own body, and returned into the world inside his mind.    

At this time, all that was left in his mind was a faint dust of starlight. Other than that, there was nothing else. The heavenly dew was gone, the mysterious jade was also gone, the Gate of the Mystery was also gone.    

This meant that the trump cards that Su Ye was once proud of had all disappeared, as if everything had been destroyed by that golden lightning.    

It was as if a wealthy man had returned to the days before liberation. The feeling was not something that could be described with words. The anger was simply too intense.    

However, when he thought about his experience behind Gate of the Mystery, Su Ye felt at ease.    

That Gate of the Mystery was not something good at all, if not for him accidentally cultivating and "thinking about it" this time, accidentally causing his soul to crumble and be sucked into the world behind the door, he would probably only find out that there was a terrifying intelligence hidden behind that Gate of the Mystery after a very long time.    

And that consciousness was actually going to devour him.    

It was clear that the reason he had used these so-called offerings in the past to send all kinds of weapons, blood essences and so on to Gate of the Mystery was to nourish the spirit of the broken monument.    

Once he reached a certain level of nourishment like that, and the spirit wisdom did not need him to send more into the Gate of the Mystery, then it would really be his doom.    

With that broken stone tablet's intelligence, it was already that terrifying without much nourishment. If it continued to be replenished, what other existence in the world could resist it?    

Therefore, although this chance had destroyed everything he relied on, it could also be said to have helped him eliminate a hidden, terrifying hidden danger in his body. Just from this alone, he needed to thank that golden lightning.    

Su Ye took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. This time, his visualization technique had failed, and he could not successfully cultivate his spirit root, so he could only learn from his mistakes. Next time, he would have to choose a more reliable person to cultivate.    

After being shocked, Su Ye did not plan to go back into closed door cultivation. Without the Gate of the Mystery, he had lost all the knowledge that he had accumulated in the Gate of the Mystery. He decided to rest for a while and use the grade nine spirit fire to temper his body.    

Without the Gate of the Mystery's assistance, he had to find another way to cultivate. It would be harder than it had been, but he was still confident.    

Putting everything else aside, just the grade nine spirit fire contained within his body possessed the characteristics of the Red Lotus Karmic sinflames contained a power that was difficult to match in the world. He didn't care about anything else, he just refined a powerful Imperishable Golden Body and became an immortal Buddha. What was he afraid of?    

But right at this moment, Su Ye was surprised to realize that the starlight that was left behind after the lightning stone tablet had destroyed everything was actually attracted by his soul and then silently assimilated into it.    

Su Ye was shocked, and was even a little shocked.    

Could it be that the golden lightning did not completely extinguish the spirit consciousness of the broken stone tablet, and it still wanted to continue devouring his soul?    

He knew how powerful the broken stone tablet was. Even if the broken stone tablet only had a tiny bit of spiritual wisdom left to devour him, he would definitely not be able to block it.    

If he was truly devoured, then he would undoubtedly be destroyed. The broken stone tablet would replace his body, and he would be able to continue existing as a human.    

This was too terrifying.    

Su Ye didn't even think about it, and wanted to expel the starlight in his soul. But who would have thought that these specks of light were simply unable to leave and instead blended into his soul, melting like water and completely blending into his soul.    

Due to his soul fusing with these specks of starlight, a subtle transformation actually happened to his soul, and then, a lot of knowledge surged into his soul. This knowledge included the knowledge that he stole from within the inner and outer sect of the Qing-Yun Sect through the Gate of the Mystery, the knowledge that he obtained from the Silver Book of Fate, and the knowledge that the Monk's sariras held great power.    

Su Ye was stupefied. He himself did not know if this change was a blessing or a curse. Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, since he was unable to expel those specks of starlight, he might as well just let the situation develop and take the initiative to read the knowledge that appeared in his soul.    

He hoped that these extra knowledge contained something that could explain the existence of the Gate of the Mystery, so that he could distinguish if this was a blessing or a curse.    

Very quickly, Su Ye was shocked.    

To his horror, he discovered that his soul was actually becoming stronger, transforming at a terrifying rate.    

At first, he could only perform telekinesis a hundred and eighty times. But now, it had reached a total of thirty-six hundred times in the blink of an eye and was still continuing to soar.    

The ability to think was truly terrifying, and the sensitivity of his reactions were completely incomparable. What was even more terrifying was that he now had an additional ability to understand. Originally, he didn't understand many things, but now, he was inexplicably able to understand them. It was almost as if he had divine assistance.    

Su Ye completely suppressed his excitement and quickly flipped through the knowledge that kept appearing in his soul. Since he had the ability, he wanted to know more about the Gate of the Mystery.

At this moment, the metamorphosis of his soul had reached its limit. Su Ye realized that the strength of his soul was simply inconceivable, to the point where he could actually reach 72 thousand times in an instant!    

This was almost like a super strong thought process that was comparable to that of immortal powerhouse. What was even more terrifying was that not only was his thinking speed extremely fast and his intelligence extremely high, he also had an unimaginable comprehension ability. Some knowledge flashed across his mind and inexplicably formed an understanding, as if he was born with it.    

It was also at this time that Su Ye finally flipped open to a fragment of the book. With just a thought, he had already comprehended the contents of this fragment, which just so happened to explain some of the Gate of the Mystery's secrets.    

And it was also at this moment that Su Ye finally relaxed, and completely revealed a smile. An uncontrollable excitement then surfaced on his face, and he couldn't resist the urge to roar out loud. This was truly a blessing in disguise, this was truly too great of an opportunity.
