Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 696 - 698 Innate and the Switch

Chapter 696: Chapter 698: Innate and the Switch Chapter 696: Chapter 698: Innate and the Switch From the moment Xia Liu took action to burning the Exotic Rats, to their fleeing in groups, only two minutes had passed.

During those two minutes, Ling Jue’s expression remained in a state of shock throughout.

He had personally experienced how terrifying the Exotic Rats were before.

Those were mutant creatures that could not be exterminated by martial force!

Yet with Xia Liu, a casual wave of his hand extinguished them all!

Not even their bones could be found, it was simply terrifying.

Moreover, the flames burning in Xia Liu’s palm were soul-shaking.

...

As a Martial Artist, Ling Jue, being a Heaven-Rank Warrior, was very clear about his own cultivation.

To achieve what Xia Liu had done was absolutely impossible for him.

Only a Path-Entering Martial Artist could create fire out of thin air.

Path-Entering!

That was the ultimate legend in the Warrior Realm.

It is said that once a Martial Artist enters the path, they would possess the power to look down upon the world.

Inner Strength Condensation, Leaf Blade Technique, ascending to the heavens…

These were feats only a Path-Entering Martial Artist could accomplish.

Although he had only seen some records in ancient texts, Ling Jue believed that in this vast world, there must be many powerful beings, even Path-Entering Martial Artists!

The so-called Path-Entering also had another name, Innate Warrior Artist.

Innate, a presence that transcends Heaven Rank.

However, as to whether they exist or not, no one could verify; perhaps the terrifying Innate Warrior Artists only live in the faith of warriors.

But today was different, Ling Jue had seen it with his own eyes!

“Senior Xia! Are you an Innate Warrior Artist?” Ling Jue asked with reverence, clasping his hands together after regaining his composure.

“Hehe, Sect Master Ling, do not misunderstand, I merely possess some psychic powers,” Xia Liu acknowledged the notion of Innate Warrior Artists, but wouldn’t claim to be one unless he unlocked all his seals, otherwise, he might not reach that level.

Innate Warrior Artist, an existence that was a rank higher than a Heaven-Rank Warrior.

Xia Liu had also learned this information from Lin Xiaotian.

As for whether there were Innate Warrior Artists in the world, no one could prove it.

“Psychic Powers?” Ling Jue was somewhat baffled.

“Yes, like the fire-based exotic power users in European and American countries who can conjure flames with a gesture,” Xia Liu explained.

Many abilities of Cultivators were somewhat similar to those of psychic beings; using psychic beings as a cover for the identity of Cultivators was most fitting.

“So that’s how it is…”

Ling Jue nodded, having heard a lot about psychic beings, and on further thought, it did indeed seem similar.

He also began to understand the situation with the Exotic Rats a bit clearer.

Those Exotic Rats were unaffected by the tangible inner strength of Martial Artists, yet they could be burned by psychic flames.

“Father, look, I told you Brother Xia Liu was the best!”

Watching her silent father, Ling Shiyu’s expression brightened.

When had she ever seen her father, a Heavenly Rank High-Level Warrior, looking like this? It was quite interesting.

“Hehe, of course, for Daoist Fellow Xia to have such cultivation at his age, his future is indeed limitless,” Ling Jue couldn’t deny.

If Xia Liu were given a few more years, he could definitely surpass him and even possibly reach that ultimate legend, the Innate Realm.

The Innate Realm, looking down upon the Martial Dao, summoning thunder with a gesture, racing like the wind, in the blink of an eye, one could perhaps take someone’s life.

The Innate Realm was far too distant for Ling Jue; it was merely wishful thinking.

“Hehe, luck, it’s all about luck…”

Faced with Ling Jue’s praise, Xia Liu modestly waved his hand and said.

“Ah, luck is certainly important, but without talent, even possessing countless treasures would just be a waste of time.”

“Let’s not talk about this now, let’s enter the cave and see where it leads,” Xia Liu didn’t want to waste a single moment.

From the jade bamboo scroll, he knew that Tianwu left many treasures in the Secret Realm.

He dared not hope for Spiritual Artifacts or Pills, after all, the Secret Realm had existed for so many years.

During the Cultivator Era, definitely many people had entered here, and the Spiritual Artifacts and Pills were probably all snatched away.

Now he only wanted to find Spirit Stones!

A large amount of Spirit Stones!

With the Storage Ring, even tens of tons of Spirit Stones would not be a problem for Xia Liu.

His only fear was not finding that many.

“Then let’s go in and take a look, I was only focused on the Exotic Rats earlier and didn’t pay much attention to what else was there.”

Speaking of which, Ling Jue felt somewhat ashamed. He didn’t even have the ability to seriously injure the Exotic Rats that the Psychic Flame could easily destroy.

Xia Liu didn’t know what Ling Jue was thinking; otherwise, he would definitely have allowed himself a shameless laugh.

The Psychic Flame, after all, was his Burning Entropy Flame.

Even though it was the lowest level of Karmic Fire, its power was already strong enough.

There was still room for improvement in the future; if he could reach the pinnacle of Karmic Fire,

then during combat, if the enemy’s psychological defense was just a bit weaker, with Divine Sense, he could burn the enemy’s soul with Karmic Fire from the inside out, leaving no one able to withstand it.

Xia Liu took the lead, with Ling Shiyu and Han Mei closely following, and Ling Jue guarding the rear.

Being protected by two Heavenly Rank High-Level experts, Han Mei and Ling Shiyu felt a great sense of security.

After passing through the Stone Gate, everyone surveyed the layout of the cave.

It was nearly as spacious as the outer area but the lighting was very weak.

That wasn’t a problem for Xia Liu. With a move of his Karmic Fire, it was as if he held a lamp of wisdom, illuminating the surrounding space.

Using the Karmic Fire for illumination didn’t consume too much Spiritual Energy.

Xia Liu wasn’t anxious, and besides, there were some snacks in the Storage Ring, though they weren’t Supreme Grade.

However, in a critical moment, taking out a few and absorbing the Spiritual Energy contained within them was also a rapid way to replenish energy.

The space was spacious, but there were no particularly special entities.

The stone walls were still just stone walls.

After walking forward for about twenty minutes, Xia Liu and the others came to a wall.

There was no way forward.

“I came here earlier too and found there were no passages to go forward, so I attacked the Exotic Rats and turned back.”

“Father, don’t you find it strange? We haven’t seen any other passages on our way in, so where did those gigantic Exotic Rats go?”

Ling Shiyu felt a chill run down her spine; all along the way she had been carefully observing the surroundings and noticed that there were no other openings, or if there were, they were only the size of a fist.

The Exotic Rats were half a meter tall; even if they were plucked of all their fur, they couldn’t possibly fit through fist-sized holes.

“This…”

Hearing his daughter say that, Ling Jue was indeed startled. Where had the Exotic Rats gone?

“That bunch of old rats has lived and thrived here; they surely know about doors or switches,” Xia Liu said after studying the stone wall in front of them for a while.

“Switches?”

“Right! Brother Xia Liu had decrypted a Formation for us to get out of that space before,” Ling Shiyu suddenly realized, reasoning that if there was one Formation, it wasn’t impossible for there to be a second.

“Formation! Daoist Fellow Xia actually decrypted a Formation!”

This news shocked Ling Jue deeply.

Formations are incredibly mysterious and unpredictable; that Xia Liu managed to decrypt a Formation to exit the Otherworldly Space was terrifying!

“That was just an ordinary Mutually Reinforcing Formation, similar to this Life-Death Formation here…”
