Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1831 - 1832: The Unknown New World
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Ye Xuan flipped through it page by page, carefully reading as all sorts of world-shocking Martial Arts appeared before his eyes one after another.
There were Fist Techniques carrying the strength of ten thousand jun, movement techniques as swift as the wind, and also ethereal yet fierce Swordsmanship.
The eighteen martial disciplines, the eighteen types of weapons, not a single one missing!
All in all, there were sixty-four sets of Martial Arts, each one a pinnacle work of its era in Martial Arts history, each with its own stunning brilliance, each with its own invincible moments.
Each had its own merits, all were peerless arts!
Without the slightest exaggeration, this Alliance Leader Manual of just a few dozen pages practically encompassed the entire historical heritage of the Martial Arts world, even... the distilled essence of thousands of years of Martial Arts in Yan Country!!
How precious was this? How priceless?
Ye Xuan had no words, nor could he imagine!
He only knew that if he fully mastered these sixty-four peerless arts, even if his Qigong cultivation did not advance, his strength would still undergo an enormous leap.
You have to know, this is the essence condensed out of several thousand years of Martial Arts history, the heart’s blood of countless Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs!
In fact, Ye Xuan only needed to master that movement technique left by the third-generation Alliance Hierarch, Song Wuxing, the peerless art "Leisurely Step"; then when fighting that Bo’er with Instant Teleportation superpower today, he wouldn’t have been so strained!
Ye Xuan closed his eyes, carefully savoring those sixty-four peerless arts, his heart endlessly shaken, as if the Alliance Leader Manual in his hand had silently grown as heavy as a thousand catties!
"So the Martial Arts world was once this glorious. A thousand years ago, it probably wasn’t inferior to Hidden Dragon at all, yet now it has to live under someone else’s heel..."
Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, inevitably sighing with emotion.
Times have changed; powers that once should have stood as equals are now worlds apart. To the point that most people in the Martial Arts world, before the Martial Arts Conference, didn’t even know what kind of existence Hidden Dragon was. Truly sigh-inducing.
Shaking his head, Ye Xuan withdrew his thoughts and also calmed his surging emotions.
He continued to flip through the remaining pages of the Alliance Leader Manual.
After the sixty-four peerless arts, the first page of content was an introduction about Hidden Dragon.
"Hidden Dragon, formed by eighteen great Families, transcends the mundane world, passed down since ancient times, contending with the Martial Arts world, each having its own strengths."
Obviously, this referred to the Hidden Dragon of long ago. At that time, the Martial Arts world was still at its peak; in the land of Yan Country, it was no worse than Hidden Dragon.
"Eighteen Hidden Dragon Families?" Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
As things stand, Ye Xuan only knew that within Hidden Dragon there were the Zhao Family and the Qiao Family. If the structure of Hidden Dragon had never changed, then there should still be sixteen huge Families Ye Xuan knew nothing about.
And not a single one would be inferior to the Zhao Family or the Qiao Family!
This made Ye Xuan truly recognize the might of Hidden Dragon.
He kept reading and turned to the second page.
"The Superpower Association, coming from beyond the East Sea, born with superpowers, strange and mysterious, once clashed with the Martial Arts world with no clear victor."
Ye Xuan’s sword-like brows lifted.
The Superpower Association, beyond the East Sea!
The force Bo’er belonged to should be the Superpower Association mentioned here, right? And this "beyond the East Sea" should refer to what is now the American Continent.
So mutated humans have existed since ancient times, and long ago already formed a power of their own, capable of contending with the Martial Arts peak and Hidden Dragon!
As time passed, the current Superpower Association was probably still extremely powerful. After all, they could absolutely stand above the Holy Mansion and didn’t care at all whether the Holy Mansion lived or died.
Even if weaker, they wouldn’t be much weaker than Hidden Dragon!
Ye Xuan bared his teeth in a wry grin. He finally understood that apart from the sixty-four peerless arts, the rest of the Alliance Leader Manual was actually an introduction to this world.
All sorts of ancient, mysterious forces hidden in the shadows might all be found here.
He turned to the third page.
"Vampires, hailing from the Western lands, practice blood-drinking dark arts, brutal and cold-blooded, are the most wicked and evil force in the world, once injuring three thousand of our Martial Arts experts, not to be underestimated!"
Ye Xuan was stunned yet again.
The existence of mutated humans in this world was already enough to make people’s jaws drop, and yet those Vampires that only appear in movies actually exist too!
So all those outrageous sci‑fi works were taken from reality?
The fourth page.
"The Dwarf Clan, hailing from beyond the Eastern Duck Sea, no more than three feet tall, like dwarfs, yet overwhelmingly strong, bulletproof, compact and terrifying, once fought a great war with Hidden Dragon, both sides suffering heavy casualties."
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank; he almost cried out and cursed.
Good grief, this world is completely different from what I imagined!
Sure, there’s that ancient saying: in the Great Thousand World, nothing is too strange. But isn’t this Great Thousand World a bit too big, too shocking?!
Ye Xuan kept flipping down.
The fifth page.
"The Beast Taming Clan, hailing from the Extreme North, possess miraculous arts, taming all kinds of Fierce Beasts, massive in size, with astounding combat power."
The sixth page...
There were a full ten pages, introducing ten ancient and mysterious forces!
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded, and his whole being felt out of sorts.
Granted, among these ten forces, quite a few lived in bitter, frozen lands, completely cut off from the world and content to guard their own domains. But several others were very active.
For example, Hidden Dragon, the Superpower Association, the Vampires, and that Dwarf Clan had all taken large-scale action for the sake of profit.
Now, Hidden Dragon and the Superpower Association had their eyes on the Source Stone—this was an undeniable fact. If the Vampires and the Dwarf Clan also learned of the Source Stone’s existence, how much trouble would there be in the future?
Endless, with no peace ever again!
The heavens were merciless. Each of these ancient forces remained as unshakable as Mount Tai despite the tides of time, yet the unlucky Martial Arts world alone somehow declined to this pathetic state. Isn’t that way too unfair?
"You can’t live like this anymore!"
Ye Xuan cried out in grief; now he truly couldn’t imagine what the future would become.
He even couldn’t help recalling that nightmare he’d had some time ago in the Northern Federation.
Flash floods and tsunamis, heavens collapsing and earth cracking, the whole world heading toward destruction, yet as if suddenly the epoch restarted, the world filled with boundless energy, enough for everyone to become a Qi Gong Master...
That dream isn’t going to come true as well, is it?
"No way, no way, it shouldn’t go that far; it was just a dream," Ye Xuan shook his head again and again, feeling he was being a bit paranoid.
The Great Thousand World was indeed shocking, but not to such an absurd extent.
After a long while.
Ye Xuan finally accepted this unknown new world, let out a heavy breath, and carefully stowed away the Alliance Leader Manual.
This world is a mess, but no matter how messed up it is, life still has to go on!
"A good sleep cures a thousand worries. Time to sleep."
Letting out a powerless sigh, Ye Xuan was about to get into bed and sleep.
Right then.
Pa!
The bright lights suddenly dimmed, as if the power had gone out.
Before Ye Xuan could react, a bone-chilling coldness appeared out of nowhere behind him, driving straight for the vital point at his heart.
