Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 428 - 418: Numerous Secret Techniques

Chu Hao advanced boldly and soon reached the sphere of light; with a swift gesture, he grasped the glowing orb in his hand.

The glow enveloping the book immediately vanished, and the lighting in the entire stone chamber disappeared in an instant, turning it just like those chambers with the doors opened.

Gu Qingcheng and the other two women entered and asked in succession, "What rank of Cultivation Technique or Martial Technique is this?"

Chu Hao flipped through it and said, "Lower Grade Earth Level, Gold Series."

"Just a Lower Grade Earth Level!" The three women lost interest.

There was no need to mention the Barbaric Girl; she was a Body Cultivator and couldn’t cultivate Star Force Techniques anyway. Gu Qingcheng, coming from the Gu Clan, naturally wasn’t short of cultivation techniques, and even Fu Xue had learned the Minor Formless Mysterious Skill, which was a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique.

When Chu Hao said this, most of the people outside also showed a look of disdain, as the ones who could arrive here so quickly were either from great families or disciples of a Great Sect, naturally not putting a Lower Grade Earth Level Technique in their eyes.

Even if some were interested, having already witnessed Chu Hao’s strength, who would dare to snatch it from the jaws of a tiger?

"Let’s go!" Everyone immediately moved forward. There were probably many more unopened rooms here, and everyone had a chance to find something.

Chu Hao and his group also departed. Half an hour later, they found a second technique, also a Lower Grade Earth Level but of the Fire Attribute. However, they encountered a sealed room during this period that couldn’t be opened no matter what.

If they couldn’t open the door, there was even less to talk about entering and taking things inside.

"If it weren’t for this, the items here would have probably been taken long ago," Chu Hao remarked.

The three women all nodded. This relic had been discovered a long time ago; if there weren’t some restrictions, the items here would certainly have been taken long ago.

They continued forward, their realm allowing them to be extremely sensitive to the space around them, forming a mental map of the structure as they walked, with absolute precision.

Three hours later, they realized they had circled the area, but ahead was not the original entrance they had started from, instead, there was a turn that led them into a second circular route.

As they proceeded, a crowd appeared ahead, clustering in front of a room.

Chu Hao approached and saw that indeed there was a white orb in the room, encasing a Cultivation Technique or Martial Technique named "Ten Elephants Technique," no wonder it drew people’s attention.

"It was said that someone on this level obtained a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique earlier."

"That makes sense, this is the second level."

"This ’Ten Elephants Technique’ must also be a Middle-Grade Earth Level."

"I heard that some small families rose to power by obtaining a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique here."

"Yes, this is a chance. Below the War Venerate, one can only cultivate up to a High-Grade Earth Level Technique, so if a small family could obtain a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique, the entire family’s strength could step up a level."

"Then we should hurry to the third level, shouldn’t there be Heaven Level Secret Techniques there?"

"Ha ha, you can go ahead, but I’m afraid you might end up empty-handed in both places."

"True, if we can’t even acquire the techniques here, let alone the third level."

Many shook their heads, as any valuable item required corresponding strength to acquire, otherwise, one could only be an onlooker. Also, sometimes being an onlooker also demanded great strength; otherwise, one might even risk being silenced.

Chu Hao, however, said, "We’re going to the third level."

None of them would consider a Middle-Grade Earth Level Technique or Martial Technique noteworthy anymore. Knowing that the techniques in this place increased in quality with each level, they naturally couldn’t afford to waste time here.

It would be best if there were even Heaven Level Secret Techniques, so after they broke through the War Venerate, they could start cultivating them directly.

They quickened their pace, circling the area.

Since they didn’t waste time on the way, it only took them an hour to encounter the second turn, entering the third level.

There were fewer people on this third level, it was very quiet, and even slightly louder footsteps echoed.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, as they walked, a soft sound of footsteps suddenly came from ahead, soft, but quite clear in such a quiet environment.

"Eh, why are they coming towards us?" Chu Hao said after listening for a while, a bit curious.

"Could it be that they have already explored this place?" Gu Qingcheng suggested.

"Even though there are no War Generals and War Kings here, we should still be cautious," Chu Hao said as the Star Force surged within his body, ready to react.

Since it was a circular passage, after some time, the sound of footsteps grew louder, and then a long shadow was cast on the wall, gradually shrinking in size.

When the figure finally emerged, it turned out to be a white creature resembling a juvenile polar bear, completely white with a bear head, but with a gold stripe on its back.

"Wow, so cute!" Gu Qingcheng immediately lit up, having no resistance to such adorable creatures.

"What a great bear paw!" the Barbaric Girl’s eyes also shone bright; as a qualified foodie, her first thought naturally related to eating.

Fat Cat stared at the white bear for a while and said, "This seems like a Gold Pattern Blood Bear."

"With it being so cute, why call it a Blood Bear?" Gu Qingcheng said, puzzled.

"Why don’t you go and hug it and see?" Fat Cat suggested.

Gu Qingcheng indeed had this idea initially, but after Fat Cat said that, she hesitated and looking at Chu Hao, she said, "I want that bear, bring it over to me."

"Why should I listen to you?" Chu Hao retorted.

"Because you’re my man!" Gu Qingcheng laughed, throwing a coquettish look at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao instantly shivered all over. This demoness was truly deadly enchanting. She was already seductive enough, and now she was deliberately being coquettish, making her allure even more irresistible.

"I’m warning you, don’t play with fire, or be careful I might actually do something!" he said fiercely.

"Would you dare?" Gu Qingcheng threw him another seductive look.

Wouldn’t I?

Chu Hao scooped her up in an instant and smacked her on the buttocks, saying, "Wouldn’t I?"

"Ah!" Gu Qingcheng exclaimed in shock. She hadn’t expected Chu Hao to actually dare to hit her. Suddenly, a strange sensation spread from her buttocks, sending a warm current throughout her body, leaving her so soft and weak that she seemed unable to exert any strength at all.

She couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Who was seducing whom here? Why had it turned out that she was the one overwhelmed?

"Bear paws, my bear paws!" The Barbaric Girl seized the opportunity and rushed out, driven by her foodie spirit, which was now blazing furiously.

The little bear growled lowly, striking with its left paw. Cling, cling, cling, cling, claws burst forth from the slits in its paw, suddenly elongating, and its claws grew larger as did its entire body, which swelled up in an instant to a length of ten meters. Its white fur turned entirely blood-red except for the golden pattern, which remained unchanged.

The Gold Pattern Blood Bear, now rightly named so.

"Wow, what huge bear paws!" the girl cheered. "I can eat my fill now!"

She reached out, grabbed the blood bear’s paw, and then, using both hands, she swung the bear around, smashing it into a wall with a bang.

This blow left the blood bear dazed and nearly knocked it out cold.

"Truly a descendant of the Dragon Race, one of the foremost in hand-to-hand combat!" Fat Cat couldn’t help but praise.

Chu Hao also nodded repeatedly. Compared to Martial Artists, ferocious beasts were both strong and thick-skinned, and everyone would try to avoid close combat with ferocious beasts, which was to fight against their strengths with their own weaknesses. But the girl was even more ferocious than the beasts, thanks to her Dragon Race bloodline, and among Divine Beasts, the Dragons were supreme.

The girl roared and grabbed the blood bear again, continuing to slam it around.

She was like a human-shaped berserk bear, her petite body containing an immensely frightening power, beating the blood bear so relentlessly that it lost all resistance. It didn’t take long before she had beaten it to death.

Impressive.

Since the blood bear appeared here, it indicated it was the "guard" of this level. Unable to defeat it meant not even qualifying to explore this place. Being the third level, theoretically, Earth Level High-Grade secret techniques might appear. The strength of the blood bear was undoubtedly not to be doubted, definitely capable of eliminating ninety-nine percent of Martial Artists.

But what could they do when the girl had already stepped into the War General realm, dealing with this Peak Level Warrior blood bear as if it were child’s play?

"Eat bear paws! Eat bear paws!" the girl threw the blood bear in front of Chu Hao. "I’m hungry; hurry up and make braised bear paw, then steam a bear paw, and after that a sweet and sour bear paw, and finally a charcoal-grilled bear paw!"

"Can you think of anything other than eating?" Chu Hao sighed.

"Of course, sleeping!" the girl said righteously.

"Able to eat and sleep, are you a pig?"

"Pah, you’re the pig! Hehe, if you were a pig, I could eat roast suckling pig!"

Speaking of eating, Chu Hao and others were also getting hungry. They simply started making a great bear paw feast right there, but naturally, they couldn’t make it as elaborately as the girl had said. They just roasted the four bear paws, one for each.

Although the Gold Pattern Blood Bear was neither a descendant of Divine Beasts nor a remnant of ancient species, each of its bear paws contained limited energy. But it was definitely filling enough, and both Chu Hao and the girl, being Body Cultivators, didn’t need to worry about not getting full.

After eating and resting for a while, they continued on their journey.

Along the way, they saw several bodies, still "fresh." Some were killed by ferocious beasts, others by the Formations here that blasted the bodies into unrecognizable pieces.

About ten minutes later, they finally found a room with a closed door.

The Barbaric Girl was the first to push the door open, but swoosh, a sudden flash of sword light came at them, dazzling and spectacular, aimed straight at the girl’s chest.

This strike was swift and fierce, and even most Peak Warriors would be caught off-guard, as everyone subconsciously believed that there was no danger inside this closed room until they stepped inside, which would trigger the traps.

But who was this girl?

An Innate Body Cultivator!

Body Cultivators have one advantage; generating power doesn’t require the Life Spring, their every cell is an engine, making them quicker to react in emergencies than Star Force Warriors.

Moreover, she had already stepped into the War General level!

With a casual slap of her hand, she sent the sword flying.
