The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The bead, even though half-buried in the mud, glimmered, bright enough for Austin to notice. It was shiny and exquisite. But it also

looked mysterious and gave off a strange feel in the air.

Austin beccurious and sensed it with his spiritual sense.

Whoosh!

His spiritual sense hovered over the bead and suddenly entered an extraordinary space inside.

This surprised Austin. He looked around and observed using his spiritual sense.

It was a peculiar space filled with translucent mist.

At a far corner, stood a faint figure. It was motionless and seemed to be looking back at him.

The figure remained hazy, but Austin believed that he was about thirty. He wore an ancient dark yellow robe that made him look

noble and his hands rested on his back. Austin detected a trace of sadness on his face.

"Gee?"

As Austin's spiritual sense settled on the space, the man in the dark yellow robe instantly perceived his spiritual sense.

"Alas, what a miracle! Someone is finally here," exclaimed the man in the bead.

He seemed to have calive after he detected Austin's spiritual sense.

Austin heard him and was surprised himself.

He could see that the man inside the bead was a soul, and it was about to disappear.

The figure was hardly visible and was almost transparent. Austin was afraid that he would lose his connection with the figure

anytime.

"Looks like this guy is running out of his spiritual soul energy,"

uttered the FlEmperor in Austin's Soul Sea.

The FlEmperor was by now also a soul. His spiritual soul energy had been depleted, but he had not reached that crucial point

where he would disappear.

The spiritual soul of this man was hanging by a thread and could dissipate anytinside the milky bead.

"lI am a disciple of a small sect, and | cto the Wild Herb Valley to collect herbs and have a trial. Sir, who are you, please?"

Austin asked.

He figured that the man had been here for a long time. In terms of age, this man should be an elder.

"The Wild Herb Valley?

Collecting herbs and having a trial?

What's going on here?

This is the territory of our Cyan Pill Valley. How did you get in here and gather herbs and have a trial?

My soul has been in this bead for so long. | do not understand what's going on outside anymore.

Have the Cyan Pill Valley fallen?

Now, boy, describe towhat has happened to the world.

Explain tohow you could get in and collect herbs from the Cyan Pill Valley," the man pleaded.

‘This man must have died a long tago, and left his soul hidden in the bead.

Now his energy is running out, ' Austin said to himself.

"Sir, I will ask my friend to tell you about the outside world.

He is a soul, just like you, and it would be best if you hear it from him," Austin told the man.

Since he was from the PrMartial World, Austin did not know about the East Mainland of the Divine Continent as much as the

FlEmperor.

Austin asked the FlEmperor to connect with the man through his spiritual sense and to tell him what had been happening in

the outside world.

Obediently, the FlEmperor started to communicate with the man and told him stories after stories of what had happened

while his soul was inside the bead.

It took the FlEmperor two hours to finish telling the stories.

The man listened carefully and was quiet for a long time.

Then he exhaled and shrugged his shoulders.

"I have been in this bead for tens of thousands of years, and true enough the outside world has changed beyond my imagination.

They have wiped out my precious Cyan Pill Valley from history. We used to be powerful, and it was unimaginable that this could

happen.

Now it has beca forbidden valley, and at regular intervals there are disciples from different sects to collect herbs.

The world is so uncertain. Everything is touch and go!"

The man continued to grieve for Cyan Pill Valley and its people.

'He has been in this bead for tens of thousands of years!"

It shocked Austin and the FlEmperor.

"Sir, how long have you been here?"

Austin asked curiously.

"About 60, 000 years,"

answered the man.

"What?"

Austin and the FlEmperor shouted at the stime.

This man had lived in this world for sixty thousand years.

That was a really long time.

"So, you have cto the Cyan Pill Valley to gather herbs and have a trial.

Will you doa favor?" asked the man.

He was quiet for a while, unsure if Austin would agree with him or not.

"What is it? | would like to if | could," Austin replied.

He was hesitant at first, but he pitied the man. He wanted to know what he was going to ask of him.

"Please take my bones and soul to the Secret Valley. | want to take one more look at Jessy's practice cave before | disappear from

this world.

And | want my bones to be buried in Jessy's practice cave."

The man gave his request.

Oh?

From his words, Austin learned that the man was so obsessed with Jessy that he wanted his bones to be buried in her practice

cave.

Austin's heart pounded on his chest when he heard the man mentioned the Secret Valley.

Stacy of the Deep Sea Commercial House and Sexton of the Dark Night Sect both mentioned the Secret Valley.

Stacy and Sexton fought about it. Sexton attacked Stacy just to get the map that would lead them to the Secret Valley.

Now this man who was about to breathe his last was also talking about the Secret Valley.

‘Does the Secret Valley really exist? What is in that place?’ Austin wondered.

"Where is the Secret Valley, sir?

| don't know exactly where it is.

Tell me, so | can help you," Austin said candidly.

"Oh? So the sects of the East Mainland cinto our Cyan Pill Valley every couple of decades, but you have not found the Secret

Valley yet?

Well, no wonder. It is a very special place. The Secret Valley is an essential place for the Cyan Pill Valley.

We have placed a magical hedge of protection around it.

The place was designed to be hidden from outsiders. That is why people from other sects have long been searching for it, but could

not find it.

Ha-Ha! | remember, it was a sacred place for the Cyan Pill Valley. Inside the Secret Valley grows the rarest and most powerful

herbs. If you go inside, you will see everything you need to be more powerful. The choices are endless.

| will show you the way to the Secret Valley so you could collect your herbs. But you have to promise me...

You will take my bones to Jessy's practice cave.

Do you agree?" asked the man.

"Deal."

Austin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He heard every word. The Secret Valley was an important place for the Cyan Pill Valley. If he could get his hand on the rare and

precious herbs that grew inside the valley, it would help him becmore powerful.

"Let's not waste any more time. Put away my bones and this Soul-nourishing Bead. | will show you the way to the Secret Valley,"

the man said.

"Okay."

Austin waved his hand and grabbed the bones from the mud. He wiped away the mud and placed it safely into his Space Ring.

He then took the milky-white bead and followed the man's instructions. He drew it into his Soul Sea using his mind and went on to

his new journey.
