Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Emperor Bear Shaking the Earth

Zhong Lin looked down at the corpse of the Sea Suppressing Sect disciple before him. The body had long since become shriveled, with not a trace of primordial qi remaining, and except for the barely sturdy bones, it was no different from an ordinary mortal.

“Judging by the time, this Sea Suppressing Sect disciple died just a few years ago. It’s impossible for the body to have become like this. The primordial qi inside has completely dissipated, and even the decay speed of his lifebound weapon exceeds that of the outside. There is something strange about this hall.”

Zhong Lin’s expression became extremely serious. He gripped the Demon-shattering Blade with even more force.

It was clear from the corpse of the Sea Suppressing Sect disciple that the reason these white bones were so fragile was not due to the passage of time. Although one possibility could be ruled out, it made Zhong Lin even more vigilant.

He took a deep breath and resumed walking forward.

As he continued deeper, he suddenly found himself at the center of the hall, where three massive stone gates stood tall in the depths of the hall.

The stone gates were shut, adorned with countless strange patterns, faintly radiating the flow of primordial qi. They were clearly gates leading to important places.

Zhong Lin stood still, his eyes closely inspecting the three massive gates, not daring to force his way through. Each time he let his divine thought wander outside, probing cautiously. With each probe, he sensed the terrifying power within.

Like the heavens! Like the earth! Like the sea! Like a mountain!

It seemed that any slight offense would trigger the prohibitions within, resulting in certain death.

The fear of death made Zhong Lin refrain from any reckless movement, especially given the ominous sight of the bones underfoot.

Each of the three stone gates had a drawing on it. The one on the far left depicted a gigantic bear, its fur golden, standing upright and roaring to the sky. Its muscular body exuded a domineering aura as if it were the king of beasts, leaving one involuntarily shivering with fear.

The middle stone gate depicted a golden crow. The golden crow, representing the great sun!

The great sun patrolled the skies, and everything bowed beneath its rays.

Just a brief glance made Zhong Lin feel a surge of heat, with his qi-blood boiling.

“What are these patterns? Such strong conceptions that just a glance can make my heart tremble.”

Forcibly shifting his gaze, Zhong Lin began to wander through the entire hall, searching for any exits or mechanisms.

After a full half-day’s work, Zhong Lin returned to the three stone gates. Nothing else in the hall was of interest, except these three stone gates.

“So, the clues still lie in these three stone gates or the three drawings on them?”

Mulling it over, Zhong Lin walked over to the stone gate on the far left, staring directly at the roaring giant bear.

Of the other two gates, one had a golden crow, and the other a blue dragon. Comparatively, the bear seemed weaker.

Inserting the Demon-shattering Blade into the ground, Zhong Lin sat cross-legged, his mind fully immersed in the image before him.

In the next moment, everything around him changed. Zhong Lin stood atop a jagged, pitch-black mountain.

At the peak lay a giant bear with golden fur, its eyes blood-red, crouched to the ground, its murderous intent surging like a vast ocean.

Suddenly, the giant bear rose on its hind legs, its form becoming even taller, its head lifting skyward, seemingly about to swallow the heavens.

“Roar!”

The roar thundered through the sky, shaking heaven and earth, an invisible aura of dominance enveloping the land, as if an emperor of the mundane world were praying to the heavens.

Enthralled by the mystical scene, Zhong Lin unwittingly altered his breathing rhythm, and with each breath, a mysterious cadence emerged, his skin faintly emitted a glowing radiance, reflecting on him as if he were an immortal guest descending from the mountain.

But soon, Zhong Lin felt a slight pause in his breath. His body had reached a limit, and he suddenly regained clarity, the surrounding visions vanishing without a trace as if they had never existed.

“Huff, huff!”

Zhong Lin panted heavily, staring in shock at the unchanged drawing, as if everything had been an illusion, yet the domineering image of the giant bear roaring skyward was etched deeply in his mind.

“System.”

With a soft mental call, the system panel appeared before him, and within the panel, a skill named “Emperor Bear Shaking the Earth” suddenly appeared.

“The drawing on this stone gate is a martial art, Emperor Bear Shaking the Earth? A pictorial martial art?”

Pictorial martial arts are created by imitating certain living beings or demon beasts, such as the Black Tiger Fist or Eagle Claw Hand. The “Azure Dragon Eight Forms” Zhong Lin had learned was also a kind of pictorial martial art.

“To carve a martial technique on a stone gate, is this the test of the Undying Evil Emperor? A test of the inheritor’s comprehension? Only by passing the test can one qualify to inherit his legacy?”

A brainstorm ran through Zhong Lin’s mind. It’s not surprising he thought this way, as the entire Qingyuan World followed this pattern. Many in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land’s inner sect, and even true disciples, had obtained inheritances left by senior masters in this manner. It seemed to be a prevalent custom in Qingyuan World.

Thinking of this, excitement gleamed on Zhong Lin’s face. This was the legacy of the Undying Evil Emperor. Though he did not know which great ability the God Desolate King called the Undying Evil Emperor, the title “Emperor” signified everything. It was stronger than Sealing King Martial Artists, and obtaining such a legacy would not make his martial arts cultivation smooth sailing, but it would certainly broaden his path.

As for the test of comprehension?

Joking, with the system panel, “comprehension” was the last thing he’d lack.

“System, add points for me. Let me see what makes the legacy left by this Imperial Realm expert so different,” Zhong Lin commanded.

With Zhong Lin’s command, countless skill points surged into the “Emperor Bear Shaking the Earth” martial art, and a massive flow of memory followed. However, Zhong Lin was no longer the young martial artist who felt dazed from any random heavenly level martial art.

Bears are fierce! Emperors are dominant!

The Emperor Bear is the Earth King, its anger could shake the heavens and the earth.

This “Emperor Bear Shaking the Earth” is a body refining technique, as well as a fist technique. Practicing this method can strengthen oneself, enhance life, increase bone strength, enhance various defenses, and reinforce power.

It mimics the ancient great demon Emperor Bear. Once mastered, it allows Zhong Lin to become like an ancient fierce beast, bursting with vitality, boiling qi-blood, and surging true yuan.
