âHuh?â
Alderâs eyes gleamed.

He could activate X-ray vision with his divine eyes. Through X- ray vision, he saw another mystery
hidden inside the tortoise statue⦠Or rather, a spell formation was setup, and an animal skin scroll was
hidden inside it.
Alder fixed his eyes on the text on the scroll. At a glance, he could notice some clues⦠It was about
the True Martial Star- Shattering Punch, but it was distinctly different from the one on the back of the
tortoise statue. Hence, that was the real True Martial Star-Shattering Punch.

Meanwhile, the Lunula Sect people were actually looking at the fake one.
It was then that someone said, âHold on. The famous self-proclaimed masters and experts from ancient
times liked to tamper with those antiques. The secret manual written on the back is probably a fake.
Instead, it really wants us to bow before it to obtain the real secret manual. All of this is a set-up.â
The words startled Alder. âThereâs still a sensible person among us!â he thought.

Then, someone really prostrated on the ground.
Of course, it was for the sake of the Divine martial arts, the only one that enabled one to enter the
cultivation path. It was worthwhile even if one had to bleed a few bowls of blood, much less prostrate
before the statue.
They prostrated once, twice, thriceâ¦
Then, there was a commotion inside the tortoise statue. Those few people from the Lunula Sect were
elated. One man said smugly, âHow about that? Youâve learned it, right? This so-called mystery is an
opportunity.â
Anxious as well, Claudia said to Ludwig, âHave they really hit the mark? This is too simple, isnât it? Just
like that, those foreign bast*rds will take full advantage of the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch?â
Ludwig,
Alex,
Alder was unconvinced as well.

At the same time, he understood that this was the Daoist sacred realm of Sota Sect. The setting was
aimed at Sota Sectâs real disciples, so there was naturally no need to create many deadly mechanisms
and traps. It would be equivalent to giving away the secret manual of cultivation techniques for free!
âAncestral Bodhi Tree!â
Alder roared in his heart, summonng the roots of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree. They fiercely sprouted out
and drilled through the base of the statue, obtaining the real secret manual of True Martial Star-
Shattering Punch inside. They then penetrated the space and pulled it out.
Alder
Alex
Rattle! Rattle!
The statue was still trying to release the animal skin scroll, but Alder had taken it away.
Alder
Alex
The few Lunula Sect people listened to the commotion inside the statue happily. To their surprise,
however, nothing came out. They had counted their chickens before they hatched.
âWhat is going on?â
âIt has been rattling for a while now⦠But there is no real secret manual inside?â
An idea struck Alder. He simply commanded the roots of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree to drill over and drag
the tortoise statue hard before turning over its body.
Alder
Alex
The few people from the Lunula Sect were taken aback. Then, they seemed to understand.
âHaha! This one is a bargain!â
âUnfortunately, those aborigines arenât here.â
âThatâs not bad either. After we learn the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch, we will deal with those
aborigines. Wonât it be handier? What are we waiting for? Hurry up and cultivate it. This is the long-
cherished treasure of the sect masters and big shots. There are really countless opportunities in the
Wasteland.â
Seeing that the people from the Lunula Sect had begun to cultivate the technique on the spot.
Alder smiled silently and didnât interrupt them. Instead, he took Claudia and activated Earth Escape
Technique again, going all the way down. The underground was the reason why the tortoiseshell of
Genbu inside him became excited.
Alder
Alex
After a while, he found the source. It turned out to be a huge egg!
