Chapter 97 Nebulae Surging

In the Martial Arts Depository, Gao Ge has been dazzled.

Faced with so many martial arts books, he doesn’t know which one he should pick.

It’s like when a man walks into a karaoke bar, in face of various kinds of girls, he can’t decide which one to choose.

“This is the advanced martial arts of Xiaoshan Sword Sect, Heaven Shaking Sword Method; and here is the Taiji Sword and Taijiquan of Wudang Mountain. Oh? There is Ghost-like Steps of Shadow School too!”

Gao Ge becomes as happy as a lark.

The Xiaoshan Sword Sect, Wudang Mountain and Shadow School are all the first-rate schools in the cultivation world of Huaxia.

And Thunder Sect is absolutely no match for them.

What intrigues Gao Ge most is the Ghost-like Steps of Shadow School, which is regarded as the No. 1 body movement method. If he adopts the method in battle, he may attack the enemy by surprise. Even when he meets a tough opponent and wants to flee, he can definitely run away as long as the capability gap is not too wide!

If the enemy is beatable, he will beat him up to death.

If the enemy is too strong to defeat, he will give in and escape as soon as possible.

This is Gao Ge’s strategy when confronting an enemy.

Therefore, as a cultivator, the most important thing is not about the capability but the ability to keep alive. Speaking of that, the Ghost-like Steps of Shadow School is always what cultivators yearn for.

“This is good stuff! As to the Heaven Shaking Sword Method, it is powerful indeed, but it’s pitiful that I don’t have a suitable weapon now. I may as well learn the Taijiquan of Wudang Mountain and King Kong Palm of Nanshan Temple.” Gao Ge thinks to himself carefully. These are all Heaven-level mental cultivation methods. Even if he only masters one of them, he can enhance his capabilities within a short period of time.

He starts to read the method of Taijiquan and yet, after reading it for a while, he finds the words in the book awkward-sounding and hard to understand. It’s never as simple as the forms stated in the books such as Parting the Wild Horse’s Mane and the Blue Dragon Going out of the Water. The Taijiquan on the surface is nothing more than exercise for improving health, and yet the fatal attacking skills hidden in Taijiquan are actually a lot.

What Taijiquan emphasizes most is notion, form, Qi and spirit, and the basic movements include warding off, rolling back, pressing, pushing, pulling down, splitting, elbowing, body stroke, advancing, retreating, shifting left, shifting right and central equilibrium.

As Gao Ge reads one page, he closes his eyes.

After the recovery of the aura, as the common people become cultivators, their memories are also improved. Gao Ge wants to memorize the martial arts through reciting first and then digesting them later. Rome is not built in one day. He must learn the martial arts step by step.

To Gao Ge’s surprise, when he tries to urge his power of stars to enhance his memories, something fabulous happens to the Star Tree inside his body. The stars on the tree begin to glitter constantly and then converge to form a shape that keeps practicing the movements one by one in his mind. Unconsciously, Gao Ge falls into a trance.

The moment that he reopens his eyes, his eyes still reflect glittering starlight and the movements that the converged stars practiced are still lingering in his head, which are hard to forget.

“Can the Star Tree also do this?” Gao Ge is greatly rejoiced to find out the benefits the Star Tree brings for him.

He puts down the book about Taijiquan and then picks up the one about Ghost-like Steps hurriedly.

He can only stay in the room for six hours. It’s hard for him to get in here again, so he must memorize as many martial arts as possible within the shortest period of time.

“The Ghost-like Steps mainly relies on speed. Even if I memorize it now, it’ll be good enough if I can give play to it by 30% in real practice. Hence, I must keep enhancing my capabilities. Only when my speed is fast enough can I fully master the Ghost-like Steps.” Gao Ge says with a frown.

What Lou Zhoutian said before is right. In terms of Gao Ge’s current capabilities, it is not easy for him to comprehend these Heaven-level martial arts. If it were not for the Star Tree, it would be great enough for Gao Ge to memorize only the Taijiquan method within six hours.

With the help of the Star Tree, it becomes more efficient for Gao Ge to memorize the martial arts. If he just keeps the martial arts in mind through rote memorization, it’ll be like transcribing a document. However, since Gao Ge has the Star Tree, it’s like copying a document to a USB flash disk. The improvement of the efficiency is just beyond words.

After Gao Ge memorizes the Taiji Sword and Heaven Shaking Sword Method through the practice of the Star Tree, he stands up to walk around, trying to find a martial arts book more suitable for him.

In the end, his eyes are fixed on a small wooden podium. Above the podium, there is a black box with a lock catch and yet not locked.

He thinks for a while and then walks towards it, reaching out his hand to take it. Surprisingly, there is a layer of dust on the box.

“How long has it been since the box was left here untouched?” Gao Ge is a bit surprised. He blows air to get rid of the dust. He can’t help coughing for a few times. After he opens the box, he finds a scroll placed inside it.

He takes the scroll out and rolls it open, saying in surprise, “Is this a martial arts method too? Well, I should read it from right to left. Beidou Sword Method? The first layer, Tianshu Sword Method; the second layer, Tianxuan Sword Method. That’s it?”

Gao Ge has a gut feeling that this sword method is just meant for him.

Although there are only the first two layers of the method on the scroll–Tianshu Sword Method and Tianxuan Sword Method and the rest remains unknown, he can still feel the power of stars is surging madly inside his body even with only a glance.

“This is it!” Gao Ge says excitedly with his fists clenched.

He has believed in his intuition all the time. Now he knows by instinct that the Beidou Sword Method is a good stuff and he can’t miss it!

“Sword may shatter the sky with the attained power of stars by the starlight.” This is the preface of the Beidou Sword Method, which happens to echo with the power of stars inside Gao Ge’s body.

“The Beidou Sword Method keeps mentioning attaining the power of stars with the help of the starlight. It seems that even the author of this method believes that it is difficult to achieve that, and yet I don’t need to worry about it. I have the power of stars inside my body. The so-called starlight or star power probably refers to the power of stars.” Gao Ge feels shocked as he reads along. He even starts to wonder whether the Beidou Sword Method is related to the Star Tree in his body.

“I must ask Mr. Lou about this after I get out of here. The origin of the Beidou Sword Method maybe will resolve the mystery of my Star Tree.”

He tries to get familiar with the Beidou Sword Method. He closes his eyes and wants to keep it in mind just like what he did to Taiji Sword and Ghost-like Steps.

However, when he looks towards the Star Tree, he sees a lot of nebulae surging.

The nebulae are immense and vast, appearing like various small worlds that are colorful and pretty.

“Wow…” Gao Ge is astounded, holding the scroll tighter subconsciously.

It must be good stuff!

He can’t help roaring to express his ecstasy.

Never has he ever seen such nebulae!
