The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 750 - Origins of the Rising Dragon Pillars

Chapter 750: Origins of the Rising Dragon Pillars

Mu Longwu’s words surprised even Ling’er and Hong Ling. Regarding the strength of the Rising Dragon Pillars, they needed no further introduction.

If not for its existence, Ye Mo’s training journey would have been much more difficult. In particular, it was the Giant Dragon Deity that stood atop the Rising Dragon Pillars that helped him—its invincible existence would make any fighter tremble in fear at facing it.

No one was more aware of this fact than Ye Mo himself.

“Your bloodline has awakened the Ancient Dragon Bloodline. However, when in front of the Giant Dragon Deity, the Ancient Dragon Bloodline is just the strength of commoners. The only explanation is the nature of your body. But I don’t understand how your body differs from any other commoner.”

Mu Longwu shook his head, evidently puzzled, before he continued saying, “Has the Giant Dragon Deity appeared inside your body before?”

“It has. But it only appears when I find myself in grave danger,” Ye Mo replied, nodding his head.

“Has it talked to you before?” Mu Longwu asked.

“Not much. It’s as good as not saying anything,” Ye Mo said sheepishly. “It’ll only approach me once I manage to fully master my Zhu Deity powers.”

“Zhu Deity?”

The moment Mu Longwu heard those two words, he shook his head, “We are only commoners – it would be extremely difficult for us to gain the Zhu Deity and win the Zhu Deity Powers. It took us three peak Divine Realm fighters joining forces, combined with the help of Fu Chen, the senior who came closest to being a Deity Seal Master, as well as the help of a countless number of other fighters to successfully seal the Primordial Shenrui and kill him.”

“What is the Primordial Shenrui?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“The Primordial Shenrui is no commoner,” Mu Longwu said, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. “His strength had exceeded the Divine Realm, reaching an even higher level. As for why I didn’t pass the Rising Dragon Pillars down to someone from my own clan, it wasn’t my choice. 20 years ago, my clan handpicked batch after batch of prodigal talents, only for all of them to fail.”

“Then, what are the Rising Dragon Pillars?” Ye Mo asked. “How did you get them?”

Though the Rising Dragon Pillars were powerful, Ye Mo still didn’t know what they were, where they came from, and how Mu Longwu had gotten them in the first place.

“I attained them from within a secret Divine Realm.”

Mu Longwu’s answer shocked Ye Mo.

“What?” Ye Mo was taken completely by surprise.

“You don’t have to be surprised,” Mu Longwu said calmly. “I was just like you—I had heard about all the powerful aspects of the Rising Dragon Pillars. But all I knew about them was that they were an inheritance. No one knew where they came from. Perhaps you’ll only know when you truly gain the recognition of the Giant Dragon Deity. Otherwise, you’ll be like me, destined to pass it down to the next generation.”

“Gain the recognition of the Giant Dragon Deity?” Ye Mo’s heart trembled. Did he really have to reach the strength level of the Zhu Deity in order to gain the Giant Dragon Deity’s recognition? Zhu Deity—would a fighter of the Zhu Deity really appear in this spiritual martial land?

“Senior, I understand,” Ye Mo said. “I will keep everything that you’ve told me in mind. What happened to my friend who came along with me?”

“Are you talking about that girl? The one with the bloodline of the Deathless Phoenix? Don’t worry, I’ve already transported her to a safe location,” Mu Longwu said. “You should be participating in the Battle of the Thousand Cities, am I right? That Chaos Palace really does have some power, for it to be able to organize such a large-scale competition, with fighters who’ve fused with six Profound Marks in the competition. Based on your current strength level, it will be extremely difficult for you to make it out of the battle alive. Even though your Heart Training has reached Level Seven, which will enable you to handle fighters in the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, it will still be somewhat difficult for you to fight fighters with two or more Profound Marks fused. The big gift that I mentioned is a set of martial techniques that even I didn’t manage to master back in the day. It’s called the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm. I will first teach you the way to train this set of palm techniques, then you will understand how strong this set of techniques is. However, in all my life of training, I never managed to train this set of palm strike techniques successfully.”

“The Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm?” Ling’er shouted. She had heard about the frightening power of the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm even when she was just a seal.

Legend has it that during the Desolate Era – time period even before the ancient times, there was no form of civilization. Fighters didn’t know how to trade, how to eat, and only knew how to battle. Back then, fighters were at the peak of their powers.

Among those fighters was a generational fighter who shattered all concepts of time and space and discovered the power source of the Indestructible Pagoda. Exceeding the strength of deities, he reached the heavens and wreaked havoc, even killing plenty of deity-level fighters. In the end, he was suppressed using the powerful, mystical technique known as the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm, a palm strike capable of devastating everything in its path.

The ‘Five Element Indestructible’ part meant that no power in the world could exceed it.

Ling’er had heard of it long ago. There was no one who could master the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm.

“What’s so special about this palm technique? Why is it so difficult to master?” Ye Mo asked when he heard Ling’er’s surprised tone.

Evidently, this Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm technique was superior to all other martial arts.

“It is indeed difficult,” Mu Longwu said lightly. “However, I know that only the inheritor of the Rising Dragon Pillars will be able to master it successfully. This is because the palm technique is no common palm technique, therefore it cannot be awakened by any power of the common world. Before they can even display their palm techniques, they would combust and die. Perhaps you can give it a go. There’s an element of danger to it, but even so, if you succeed, based on your current strength level, even Profound Heaven Realm fighters fused with three Profound Marks will be no match for you, even if you only manage to master the first palm strike.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try,” Ye Mo said, nodding his head.

“I’ll now pass down the training methods to you.”

Waving his arm lightly, Mu Longwu drew out rows of seal texts that appeared in the air and sent them straight into Ye Mo’s brain.

A palm technique that even Mu Longwu was unable to handle—Ye Mo was obviously interested. If he succeeded, it would be a form of a breakthrough for him. He didn’t need any inheritance, he only needed breakthroughs. Only through breakthroughs would he be able to exceed the strength level of every other fighter.

Ye Mo slowly digested the Five Element Indestructible Pagoda Palm. Looking up, he saw that Mu Longwu was floating in the air, his body already burning up in flames.

“Senior Mu, what’s happening to you?” Ye Mo’s pupils dilated as he asked in a surprised tone.

“After I passed down the set of palm techniques to you, my soul can no longer sustain itself. It’s about time to leave. I’m interested in knowing whether a fighter gets transported to another world or simply perishes into nothingness.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Soul of Flame burned wildly as Mu Longwu’s soul completely disappeared from this plane of space.

“Actually, I still wish to go to another world. That way, I will be able to see Long Ling again.”
