5739. Chapter 5739: Heaven-Defying Ancient Book 1

Hearing the sound of the iron door closing, Leng Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He said, "Little monster, send me out." As his voice fell, he felt his body lighten, as if he was pushed out by an invisible force. When he reacted, he had already appeared outside the mountain.

Although he had regained his mobility, Leng Xuan was not in a hurry to leave this place. Instead, he walked to the place where the masked man had just practiced, leaned over and picked up the yellowed ancient book from the ground. The masked man obviously didn't expect that there were other people in this stone room besides him. Otherwise, he would never leave the ancient book here. Looking at the ancient book in his hand, Leng Xuan was a little strange. There was no name marked on the cover of this ancient book, and it was completely blank. With doubts, he casually turned to the first page. Looking at the content recorded on it, Leng Xuan's face changed instantly. "This... How is this possible..."

The horror in his eyes lasted for more than ten seconds before Leng Xuan gradually reacted. "How could it be... How could it be like this..." The content recorded in the ancient book in his hand turned out to be the cultivation method of the Against the Heaven Art. No wonder he was so shocked. You know, throughout the ages, the Against the Heaven Art has been passed down by word of mouth, and there is no written record at all. But the ancient book in front of him is the real Against the Heaven Art. "Old man, why is this happening?" Long Lingzi said in a deep voice: "I don't know. In my impression, there has never been such a thing." After a pause, he continued: "If the Against the Heaven Art has been passed down, it can only mean that among the descendants of the Against the Heaven Art, someone has broken the rules." Hearing this, Leng Xuan nodded slowly. As a descendant of the Against the Heaven Art, he naturally knew the rules that Long Lingzi said. No matter what the reason, the secret of the Against the Heaven Art must be kept. Once discovered, the whole body's cultivation will be abolished at the least, and the death penalty will be imposed at the worst. Although the rules are like this, it is impossible for someone to monitor the descendants of the Against the Heaven Art all the time. Therefore, more self-discipline is needed. To become a descendant of the Against the Heaven Art, in addition to extraordinary talent, character also needs to be assessed.

It is precisely because of the guarantee of character that the successor of the Against the Heaven Technique will be respected by the world. But everything at the moment made Leng Xuan's heart heavy. The more he read the ancient book, the more Leng Xuan frowned. This ancient book not only contains the Against the Heaven Technique, but also the Five Against the Heaven Styles. However, there are only explanations of the first four styles. Not only that, there are many annotations on these pages, which seem to be the research experience of the predecessors of Chongyun Hall. "Boy, what are you going to do?" Hearing Long Lingzi's question, Leng Xuan's idea was to destroy this ancient book. However, reason stopped him from doing so. He knew that if he destroyed this ancient book at this moment, his whereabouts would be exposed. In this way, he and Yu Yan would be in danger. After thinking for a moment, he put the ancient book on the ground again without making any changes. He knew in his heart that the mysterious masked man must have memorized the Against the Heaven Technique. If he made any changes, it would definitely attract his attention. In addition, there is a more important point. To successfully practice the Against the Heavens Technique, one cannot just rely on the exercises alone. It also requires assistance from all aspects.
