Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “Granny, have you agreed to help my brother resolve the Rakshasa Secret Technique? Granny is indeed impressive. There’s nothing in this world that Granny can’t resolve!”
Granny Nie said, “Don’t be happy too early. The Heart Guide is an internal force restriction. If it’s removed, so be it. The Rakshasa Secret Technique is a cultivation technique. There’s a difference in essence.”
The Heart Guidance was planted in the body. Without activating it, it would not cause any harm to martial artists.
The Rakshasa Secret Technique was different. The higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the greater the backlash they would suffer until they completely lost control.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Total loss of control… Do you mean turning into a puppet?”
Granny Nie said, “It’s much more terrifying than becoming a puppet. At least puppets have masters who can subdue them. The out-of-control Rakshasa only has the instinct to kill. You can understand it as Qi Deviation, but it’s more serious. The kind that can’t be treated.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked in confusion, “Why do we have to go to the Library Pavilion to resolve the Rakshasa Secret Technique my brother cultivates?”
Granny Nie coughed lightly. “Because the Rakshasa Secret Technique originated from the Xiahou family. I suspect that the Library Pavilion has a way to suppress it.”
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. “Suspect… In other words, you’re not sure either?”
Granny Nie said calmly, “The martial arts of the various sects on the island are actually from the Xiahou family. Otherwise, why do you think the Xiahou family is regarded as the Island Master?”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and muttered, “No wonder Xiahou Yi has puppets beside him. The Xiahou family is the ancestor of the puppet technique. Wait, what’s with the puppet technique of the Holy Maiden Temple? I remember that there’s an Elder Lou in the Holy Maiden Temple. Could she be related to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion?”
She had been puzzled more than once. The Head of the Secret Service was from the Great Zhou. Where did he get to know the elder of the Holy Maiden Temple in the Southern Wilderness?
However, it would make sense if Elder Lou was from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
It was completely possible for the Assassin Alliance and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion to interact.
No, she had to ask the Head of the Secret Service.
To hell with not being curious!
What was wrong with being curious?
Granny Nie continued, “The Rakshasa Secret Technique was passed down by our Jin family’s ancestors. No one has dared to cultivate it because they were afraid of becoming a real Rakshasa. However, I always suspected that this secret manual was incomplete, just like the Heart Guide that Nie Yangshan passed down to Jiang Guanchao back then. I know to guard against outsiders. The ancestors of the Xiahou family might also know to guard against us.”
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have an epiphany. “Granny, do you mean that the secret manuals given to the various sects by the Xiahou family are incomplete?”
Granny Nie said, “At least for some powerful secret techniques.”
The Palace Lord fell into deep thought. “I’m afraid it’s the same with the puppet technique.”
There should be a more perfect puppet technique, but the Hundred Flowers Palace had only inherited a portion. The price it had to pay was too cruel, so the old Palace Lord had forbidden the puppet technique.
Granny Nie looked at everyone and said, “So you understand the meaning of going to the Library Pavilion this time, right? Even if you can’t find the complete Rakshasa Secret Technique, you can find a few real cultivation techniques.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do many people know about this? I mean, do the ancestors of the Xiahou family have reservations about the various sects?”
Granny Nie said, “I guessed it myself. I’ve only mentioned it to you so far. As for whether the others have guessed it, I don’t know.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Granny, did you specially come to tell us this today?”
Granny Nie looked at her indifferently. “My grandson hasn’t been back for three days.”
Su Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. “I forgot.”
Granny Nie grabbed the happy Nie Xiaozhu and brought him home.
The Palace Lord began to discuss the matter of going to the martial arts competition with Wei Xu and Lu Aotian.
The overall rules of this year’s martial arts competition were the same as in previous years. Every sect had a certain number of candidates. There would be four participants from the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Heavenly Jade Hall, and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion respectively. There would be three people from the Lotus Sect, the Hidden Sword Villa, and the other sects ranked fifth to tenth. There would be two people from the Fire Slaughter Sect.
Experts from the martial world who did not belong to sects could participate, but the elimination rate in the first round would be much higher than that of sects.
Ling Yin said, “I understand! The disciples of the sect are one-on-one. The winner will advance. The experts of the martial world are in a chaotic battle. No matter how many people there are, only the ten people left in the arena will advance.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Disciples? Can’t the sect master participate?”
Ling Yin gestured and said, “The sect master and elders won’t participate. Otherwise, it would be too much of a bully. However, every year, there will be a spar between the elders and the sect masters. It’s also very exciting! If you don’t like anyone, it’s fine if they die on the spot! Of course, the other party has to be willing to accept your challenge! Am I right, Palace Lord!”
