Unrestricted Dao Lord

But it had all come to nothing, and this time, they had learned their lesson.

Zhong Wangji, the Martial Vein Master of Cyan Wood Peak, spoke up. "Elder Jiang, we respect your duties and will not enter the Fire Melting Cave. However, we should at least be allowed to know who has entered the Fire Melting Cave recently, shouldn’t we?"

As soon as he said this, the masters of the Five Great Martial Veins and many other Postnatal Realm Elders all turned their gazes to Elder Jiang Hengyue, the guardian of the Fire Melting Cave.

Jiang Hengyue glanced at the Martial Vein Masters and the numerous Postnatal Realm Elders outside the Fire Melting Cave.

He didn’t seem to feel the pressure at all, stating flatly, "According to Sect rules, the list of those in the Fire Melting Cave cannot be disclosed. If you want to see the list, go to the Sect Leader and get a Sect Leader’s Order. Then I will give it to you."

"You..."

The masters of the Five Great Martial Veins were furious.

They knew they would never be able to obtain a Sect Leader’s Order for something like this.

But they were desperate to know who had caused the two phenomena in the Fire Melting Cave.

"No matter. We’ll just wait outside the Fire Melting Cave. When someone comes out, we’ll have a good idea, won’t we?"

an Elder suggested.

This was, indeed, a viable method.

But it would take time.

Still, the masters of the Five Great Martial Veins had no better options.

"Fine, then we’ll wait!"

And so, a large group of Postnatal Realm Elders simply sat down cross-legged outside the Fire Melting Cave to wait.

Jiang Hengyue merely glanced at the crowd of Elders, paying them no mind.

As long as they didn’t enter the Fire Melting Cave, it was fine.

What they did outside the Fire Melting Cave was not his responsibility.

「Days passed.」

Zhang Su was completely immersed in his Cultivation.

He felt an intense, scorching heat suffusing his entire body.

But as he circulated the Three Yang Divine Techniques, the heat was quickly refined.

He had no idea how much time had passed.

It could have been ten days.

Or perhaps twenty.

Or even a month.

Suddenly, Zhang Su felt a jolt run through his body.

The next moment, his eyes snapped open.

’This is...’

Zhang Su stared in shock at the scene before him.

The cave was filled with a dense earthen energy.

The temperature was also extremely high.

However, the focus was not the energy or the temperature, but the numerous sword marks scoring the cave walls.

These sword marks had merged into a single, continuous pattern.

In Zhang Su’s eyes, the marks suddenly seemed to come alive.

They looked like some kind of Swordsmanship.

Zhang Su’s perception was already infinitely close to Martial Sense.

Now, seeing these connected sword marks, a series of images naturally formed in his mind.

The images were incredibly vivid, depicting a complete set of Swordsmanship.

Zhang Su stared at the sword marks for a full two hours.

Finally, he had firmly committed a complete Swordsmanship to memory.

Zhang Su also noticed some small, faint writing on the cave floor.

They seemed to have been left by the cave’s previous occupant.

"A fragment of the Infinite Sword Scripture, with only one form, named the Extreme Sword Form. Left for one who is fated."

A thought stirred in Zhang Su’s mind.

’So, this Swordsmanship is from the Infinite Sword Scripture.’

’But it’s just a fragment, with only a single move.’

Zhang Su had already practiced many types of Swordsmanship; he was a Swordsman now.

His Wind and Thunder Sword Technique had even given rise to Divine Intent.

He had memorized this new Swordsmanship from the cave.

But it felt incredibly awkward.

It was as if it was completely different from any Swordsmanship he had ever seen before.

"Infinite Sword Scripture Extreme Sword Form: Compatibility 0 (Not at entry-level)"

Zhang Su was slightly taken aback when he saw "Compatibility 0."

He had practiced so many types of Swordsmanship.

He had seen countless more in the Instructor Pavilion.

But no matter how obscure or difficult a Swordsmanship, Zhang Su had never seen one with a Compatibility of 0.

This was a first.

’A Compatibility of 0... That means, theoretically, I have no hope of ever mastering this Swordsmanship. I can’t even reach the entry-level...’

Zhang Su found it truly unbelievable.

Theoretically, even with 1% Compatibility, there was a chance of success.

Of course, that was only in theory.

But with 0% Compatibility, mastering it was utterly impossible.

You couldn’t even reach the entry-level.

Zhang Su had never encountered a situation like this.

’Interesting...’

However, Zhang Su found it very interesting.

A Compatibility of 0 wasn’t really a problem for him.

He just needed ten Compatibility Value points to raise his Compatibility with the first form of the Infinite Sword Scripture to 100%.

The question was, was this Swordsmanship worth spending ten Compatibility Value points on?

So, Zhang Su carefully recalled the Swordsmanship in his mind.

This Infinite Sword Scripture was truly miraculous.

Even without any written text.

Just by memorizing the Extreme Sword Form of the Infinite Sword Scripture, Zhang Su could understand the Swordsmanship’s function.

The Extreme Sword Form was all about reaching the ultimate limit of speed.

It followed the martial arts principle that nothing can withstand absolute speed.

Zhang Su searched the ground again.

And he actually found some more small writing.

It was a warning left by the senior who had inscribed the Infinite Sword Scripture.

"Once you master the Extreme Sword Form, even just to the entry-level, executing it will completely drain the Inner Strength of any Martial Artist below the Innate Realm."

"Only upon reaching the Innate Realm can one barely activate the Extreme Sword Form and unleash its terrifying power."

Upon reading this, many thoughts flashed through Zhang Su’s mind.

Didn’t the subtext of these words imply that the Extreme Sword Form was actually an Innate Realm Swordsmanship?

The crucial part was that it seemed Inner Strength could also activate an Innate Realm Cultivation Technique.

That was amazing.

However, using Inner Strength to activate it would only allow for a single strike.

Your entire body’s Inner Strength would be drained.

’One strike... Its power must be absolutely terrifying. It could be my trump card!’

Zhang Su was tempted.

However, he didn’t seem to have ten Compatibility Value points.

Zhang Su immediately checked the information on his panel.
