Claudiaâs face sank instantly.
Even the protector of the True Martial Shrine, who had survived the ancient times, said that he was
powerless. Wouldnât she be condemned?
âSir, sir⦠I think I still can be saved. Please take a closer look at me.â
The old man shook his head firmly. âI donât want to look anymore. Youâve ruined your cultivation.â
Ludwig almost choked with laughter at the side. This protectorâs words were so straightforward they
would make anyone cry.
Ludwig
Alex
Claudia glared at Ludwig in annoyance. âWhat are you laughing at? If you laugh again, Iâll tell your
father-in-law youâve assaulted his woman.â
Ludwig
Alex
Gasp!
Ludwig instantly felt strangled.
Ludwig
Alex
If those words were to enter the ears of Lunaâs father, the matter would be severe. More importantly,
the two were close to each other just now, and Ludwig would never convince him of his innocence.
Ludwig
Alex
âSir, I think my cultivation level has soared rapidly, especially during the recent tide of spiritual energy. I
have absorbed lots of it had a direct breakthrough⦠I think Iâm among the top in martial arts and
cultivation levels in this land of America. Could you have been mistaken?â
The old man said, âYou have a feminine physique, yet you cultivated that Serenity or god knows what.
The faster you achieve a breakthrough, the deeper you will be ruined.â
And so, Claudia truly became a little anxious. Her sisters had taken progressive approaches in their
cultivation, so they had promising prospects. Meanwhile, she wanted to grow old together with Gilbert.
Now that such a situation had happened, didnât that mean sheâd stop advancing and fall back at a
certain stage?
If her cultivation level could no longer break through, her lifespan would be fixed, but she still did not
wish to die a premature death.
She begged the old man to help her find a way. Eventually, she gritted her teeth and said Ludwig had
mentioned a cultivation technique to turn immortal, Fair Maidenâs Heart Sutra.
Ludwig
Alex
The old manâs eyes gleamed. âFair Maidenâs Heart Sutra? Are you talking about the sutra that forms
the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, created by Grand Emperor Rowan of the Stoermer Sect in
ancient times?â
Claudia did not know about the origin within, but the old man almost stunned her when he told her of
such an awesome background. She looked at Leonardo, dumbfounded.
Leonardo,
Alex,
Ludwig nodded lightly. âThatâs right.â
Ludwig
Alex
In fact, he was still astonished. Fair Maidenâs Heart Sutra could indeed form the Eight Desolated Killing
Formation. What Suzaku and the others currently cultivated on Oregon Island was the Eight Desolated
Killing Formation⦠However, he did not know that this cultivation technique would actually involve
Grand Emperor Rowan.
This meant his wife, Dorothy⦠Oh, Xienna, was inextricably linked to Grand Emperor Rowan. As
expected, it had extraordinary origins!
The protector was shocked. âIf itâs really this technique, it might be possible to correct your problem.â
Claudiaâs eyes turned passionate at once. âLeonardo, pass me the secret manual for the cultivation of
the Fair Maidenâs Heart Sutra later, and Iâll pretend that your offense has never happened.â
Leonardo,
Alex,
âI donât have it with me at the moment. Letâs talk about it later.â

They left the temple and headed all the way to the True Martial Shrine.
Ludwig had been scanning around with his divine eye, trying to find Luna, Jade, or the others.
Unfortunately, he failed to detect anyone. Instead, they had encountered a few waves of undead
creatures.
Ludwig
Alex
Fortunately, the creatures were of low combat power, and after Ludwig had solved half of them alone,
he successfully fetched Claudia and the old man out of the battlefield.
Ludwig
Alex
Ludwig was pondering over True Martial Star-Shattering Punch while battling.
Ludwig
Alex
Then, he noticed something, this set of cultivation techniques required extremely high physical fitness.
Luckily, Ludwigâs had very high endurance after his cells had been polished and evolved, and he could
cultivate it successfully.
Ludwig
Alex
The intermittently appearing Undying Clan members and undead creatures had just become his test
subjects.
âAttaining a new insight to truths. This is the realm you have to pursue at the moment.â
âReturning to oneâs true self is the ultimate truth.â
âUse your heart to perceive every inch and cell of your bodyâ¦â
The surviving old man from the True Martial Shrine enlightened Ludwig from time to time so he could
understand it in his way and walk his way into battle.
Ludwig
Alex
That was the truth of martial cultivation.
