Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 582 - 32: Departure

Memory, erased.

What a pity.

The vast information remembered a moment ago was wiped away at the root by a higher-level power in an instant, leaving only scattered fragments.

"This level of power... it must be the legendary Heavenly Dao level of power."

The secrets of the Celestial cannot be revealed.

That's probably why.

Or perhaps, there is no such thing as the Heavenly Dao.

It's merely due to some unknown reason, or the power level is too high, or some other reason, that Austin's memory and soul body suffered severe damage.

"Forget it, these are not things I can reach with my current power, let's talk about it later."

An incomprehensible power. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Continuing to think about it will only add to the troubles.

Austin no longer tried to use Plum Blossom Divination to glimpse the Celestial Secret. That level of power that silently erased his memory had already intimidated him.

Before understanding the power of this world, Austin probably won't take the risk again.

"However, the Plum Blossom Divination can still be cultivated, and the source of this martial art, the Celestial Secret Palace that was lost ten thousand years ago, should be investigated..."

The martial arts of the Plum Blossom Sect weren't created by the ancestors of the Plum Blossom Sect.

They originate from the renowned Celestial Secret Palace, which supposedly once dominated the entire Northern Domain over ten thousand years ago.

However, something unknown happened ten thousand years ago, leading to the collapse and demise of the Celestial Secret Palace in a single day, throwing the entire Northern Domain into a leaderless state.

The martial arts in the Plum Blossom Sect come from the Celestial Secret Palace.

When Celestial Secret Palace collapsed back then, it became a vast ruin.

Countless strong practitioners fought over the ruins, ultimately leading to the outer sect's basic texts like "Plum Blossom Divination" and "Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy" being taken by a passing loose cultivator.

Then, over ten thousand years and several changes of hands, these were eventually buried in a relic and fortuitously obtained by the ancestor of the Plum Blossom Sect, laying the foundation for the sect.

This,

is one of the few future memory fragments that Austin now remembers.

In the future, Lin Han has an important connection with the Celestial Secret Palace.

And I seem to have a fate or opportunity related to it there.

Unfortunately, what that opportunity is inside, Austin has almost completely forgotten.

"If even the outer sect's few trivial cultivation and martial techniques have the miraculous ability to glimpse celestial destiny, then what level must the Celestial Secret Palace's direct martial arts have reached?"

"Did the Palace Master and Sect Leader of Celestial Secret Palace not foresee its downfall while cultivating such techniques?"

Austin, evidently puzzled.

Logically speaking, since the Celestial Secret Palace was once able to dominate the entire Northern Domain, the experts in the palace were at least standing at the pinnacle of the world, perhaps even beyond characters like Austin himself.

With the strength of such figures, along with the mysterious and unfathomable "Celestial Secret Divine Scripture," they should have been able to foresee the future destruction of the Celestial Secret Palace.

But why did it all still happen?

Wasn't there anyone back then to prevent this from happening?

After thinking about it, Austin finally gave up contemplating.

All of this happened ten thousand years ago, and many truths have already been buried in the river of time.

There's no need to think about it anymore.

Even if curiosity exists, at least some clues could only be found inside the ruins of Celestial Secret Palace.

The past, regarding its aftermath, has nothing to do with him.

"Let's first go to Pingzhou and take a look. The ruins of the Celestial Secret Palace are located there... It will probably be a few more years before they open, better to go and have a look first. Even if the chance is insufficient to open it, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer. This time can be used to continue setting up along the way."

The opening of the Celestial Secret Palace depends on mysterious and unpredictable opportunities.

Although the Celestial Palace crumbled and became a ruin,

its remains are immense, comparable to a massive island, retaining several complete regions even when collapsed into fragments.

In every building and room inside the Celestial Palace, some inexplicable arrays are basically established. The activation of these arrays, all relates to some kind of opportunity.

After ten thousand years of development, today's Celestial Palace ruins have formed into a vast Secret Realm relic.

Furthermore,

there still exists an Artifact Spirit of an Immortal Artifact from ten thousand years ago within, overseeing everything inside the Celestial Secret Palace ruins.

In future information, that Artifact Spirit appears to be plotting something.

"Since my strength is more or less recovered, it's time to leave."

In the Plum Blossom Sect, Austin had stayed for quite some time.

His power, cultivated in the Gate of Truth space, has already significantly recovered.

Through the foundation of the Plum Blossom Sect, Austin had found a way to convert his strength into this world's power, and the conversion is already completed.

The true extent of his strength cannot be accurately measured.

But in this Cultivation Realm, he's evidently at the top tier without doubt.

He already possesses a certain degree of self-protection capability.

...

Time swiftly passed by.

In no time, half a year had already passed.

It had been a year since Austin manifested in the Ancestral Hall of the Plum Blossom Sect to teach Zhuge Minghai the Secret Technique "Bright God's Ten Thousand Transformations."

Within a year, the strength of the Plum Blossom Sect significantly increased.

Recently, in the Five-Sect Alliance gathering, Zhuge Minghai, as the Sect Leader, displayed incredibly strong martial arts cultivation, defeating the Profound Moon Sword Sect, the leader of the Five Sects, with a one-against-three battle, exposing the conspiracy of the Sect Leader Wang Gongsheng of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

From this point, the Five-Sect Alliance collapsed.

After the events of the Five-Sect Alliance gathering were broadcast, the Plum Blossom Sect's reputation once again spread throughout the entire Sanshui County, causing a huge storm in the cultivation realm of Sanshui County.

The once-obscure Plum Blossom Sect, ranked at the tail of the Five Sects, surprisingly possesses such mysterious and powerful martial arts!

And Zhuge Minghai became unanimously recognized as the number one expert in the cultivation realm of Sanshui County.

At this moment, in the Ancestral Hall of the Plum Blossom Sect, Austin suddenly felt a thread break, and he felt notably lighter.

Cause and effect have dissipated!

Thus, amid the surging forces in the Sanshui County cultivation realm, Austin quietly left the Ancestral Hall of the Plum Blossom Sect.

Zhuge Minghai, only upon returning to the Sect seven days later, intending to visit the mysterious elder within the Divine Stone at the Ancestral Hall, found the hall already vacant, with the mysterious stone nowhere in sight, leaving only a jade scroll emitting a faint glow.

Zhuge Minghai picked up the jade scroll and probed it with his Divine Sense.

Inside was Austin's farewell and the final level of the "Bright God's Ten Thousand Transformations" technique.

After reading it,

for a moment, Zhuge Minghai felt an empty void in his heart.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
