Chapter 651: Chapter 364: Bad News Arrives as Expected
Kyoto.
Deep within the Martial Arts Association.
Chen Sheng walked slowly along the brightly lit, lengthy corridor.
“Sir.”
Every few dozen meters, there would be an alloy gate, accompanied by fully armed guards.
But before Chen Sheng even got close,
the alloy gates would creak open.
He would also hear the guards greeting him.
Archive room.
That was where Chen Sheng was headed.
This place stored a vast amount of cultivation methods and precious ancient texts.
It was also the area with the highest security level within the Martial Arts Association, ranking alongside the underground research institute.
In the past long period, no one other than Li Wuji was allowed near the archive room.
Even the security guards could only station themselves outside the alloy gates.
Usually,
only when Li Wuji needed to retrieve some books would they enter.
Most of the time,
a hundred-meter radius centered around the archive room was kept dead silent all year round.
But in these last two days,
the normally deserted archive room
welcomed a frequent visitor.
Every morning,
the guards would see Chen Sheng hurrying to the archive room, staying there the whole day.
Only leaving at night.
Who was Chen Sheng?
Many guards didn’t know.
Be it the incident involving the elderly, or the attack by the Heavenly Man,
Chen Sheng’s existence was only known by a small circle of higher-ups.
These ordinary employees of the Martial Arts Association
might have seen Chen Sheng,
but they had no idea who he was or what he had done.
However,
that didn’t stop them from showing the utmost respect and adoration for Chen Sheng, addressing him as “sir.”
After all,
when Chen Sheng first arrived, he was accompanied by Li Wuji the whole way.
Moreover, between the two,
it was apparent that Chen Sheng held the dominant position.
With this in mind,
the guards were no longer surprised by Chen Sheng’s daily visits.
And so,
Chen Sheng proceeded deeper.
Soon,
he arrived at the end of the corridor.
As the metal door slowly opened,
a library-like, spacious atmosphere came into view.
Unlike ordinary libraries,
though they looked similar, the shelves in the archive room were made of black metal and were completely sealed.
Various numbers were engraved on the metal surfaces, each representing a different collection.
These black metal containers could only be opened using a specialized app with a decrypting function or through brute force.
As for the information related to each item’s number, Chen Sheng had already memorized it after Li Wuji sent him the files the day before.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng stepped into the archive room.
He came to the deepest row of shelves, picked up his phone, and tapped the screen lightly.
In silence,
the sealed bookshelf suddenly opened a window and continually emitted a dazzling golden light.
The temperature in the archive room soared at that instant.
If an ordinary person were standing there,
they’d quickly be evaporated, turning into a dried corpse.
As for Chen Sheng,
he only found it somewhat warm.
Approaching the window,
he saw a stone floating quietly.
The light and heat were coming from it.
Chen Sheng’s gaze fell on the inscription below the stone.
The name of this secret technique was boldly engraved on it,
“The Supreme Heart Yang Art.”
From its name,
one could understand just how much the creator of this secret technique desired to reach the realm of sainthood.
According to Li Wuji’s introduction,
this secret technique was
one of the most advanced levels in the Martial Arts Association’s collection today.
It was rumored that when cultivated to the extreme,
one could use one’s fleshly body to simulate nuclear fusion, becoming a solar deity walking among men.
Wherever such a person went,
nothing would be left unburned or unturned to ash.
Unfortunately,
Li Wuji said that although this technique was proven feasible through their verification and testing,
the difficulty of cultivation could only be described as hellish.
During the process,
the cultivator needed to possess a Sunstone like the one in front of Chen Sheng while also creating an energy core within their body.
It would continuously release radioactive elements 24/7, and the user had to use their soul force to combine these elements with their own cells.
As the cultivation progressed,
the energy core would gradually solidify and grow stronger within the cultivator’s body, eventually releasing energy that propels internal atoms to simulate controlled nuclear fusion reactions.
In doing so,
as the fusion of radioactive elements and cells becomes more advanced, the energy core will become more powerful, eventually completely mimicking and even surpassing natural nuclear fusion reactions.
The user,
would become a humanoid, walking nuclear bomb.
At their fingertips, they could create a nuclear explosion.
It sounded wonderful.
However, the reality was that
cultivators had to endure long periods of nuclear radiation and miniaturized nuclear fusion reactions within themselves while practicing this technique.
Even in its earliest stages, this was not something an ordinary martial artist could withstand.
And those who were strong enough to endure it had mostly started cultivating secret techniques, which made them incompatible with The Supreme Heart Yang Art.
As a result,
to this day, no one had successfully cultivated this technique.
However,
upon hearing about this secret technique,
Chen Sheng immediately thought of a person.
A foe whom he had once killed:
Power Sect Sect Leader Xiang Li.
Chen Sheng had some knowledge of the Nuclear Fist technique that Xiang Li cultivated;
It was somewhat similar to The Supreme Heart Yang Art in essence.
The answer Li Wuji provided further confirmed Chen Sheng’s guess:
the Nuclear Fist created by Xiang Li was indeed inspired by The Supreme Heart Yang Art.
Compared to the hellishly difficult entry-level Supreme Heart Yang Art,
the Nuclear Fist may have been slower to advance and less powerful, but it was still impressive.
