Chapter 1428
'The Nine Ordeals... What does it mean? The Nine Destructions...
'To cultivate this martial art, one has to suffer the Nine Destructions."
James continued reading.
The cultivation method of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals was recorded at the back.
After he finished reading it, James furrowed his eyebrows.
Though the martial art was и.σ.ν.єℓє.вσ.σк.¢σм intriguing, the conditions were harsh.
One would first have to cripple one's cultivation.
Not a single trace of True Energy could remain.
The five organs must be destroyed, the meridians must be severed, the Elixir Field had to be extinguished, True Energy had to
be completely removed, and one must be on his last breath.
This was called the Nine Destructions, or simply the Nine Ordeals.
Theoretically speaking, one could only cultivate this martial art if he was on the verge of death.
Upon seeing this, James shook his head slightly.
It was impossible.
No ordinary man would ever cripple his own martial art to cultivate the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals, no matter how magical or
beneficial they could be.
James continued reading and finished all nine scriptures.
The Nine Scriptures of Ordeals were divided into two parts.
The first half was the cultivation method while the other half was the martial art.
This was a signature martial art skill created by the knowledge of the Polaris Sect's founder.
It was simply an encyclopedia where every martial art technique was recorded inside.
Not only that, these were some of the most powerful martial art techniques there were. By cultivating a single one of these, one
would be invincible.
James scrutinized it.
He knew that he would not have the opportunity to cultivate. After all, as an eighth-rank grandmaster, he could not remove
everything he had learned.
Even if he did, he still would not reach the requirements of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals.
Archbishop Polaris did not interrupt him.
Instead, he hurriedly left and contacted his men in Sol to search for experts in deciphering ancient texts.
James spent a day recording everything of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals.
Although he could not cultivate them now, he instinctively knew that this could come in handy in the future.
A sword technique was also recorded on the stone wall-the Polaris Sword Art.
James scrutinized what was inscribed on the stone wall.
Two words formed the essence of the sword technique -Totality and One.
Totality was 1834 sword techniques. One was a singularity.
James looked at the 1834 sword techniques inscribed on the stone wall.
To be honest, the sword techniques were all sophisticated and unpredictable.
One became Two, Two became Four, Four became Eight, and Eight became a Thousand.
Singularity produced Grand Extremity, Grand Extremity gave birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang generated the Eight Trigrams,
and the Eight Trigrams created the universe.
"Nearing my death, I remained here and sat there for decades. In the meantime, I created 1834 sword techniques.
However, I believe that the sword techniques are incomplete. Though the moves are sophisticated and powerful, it requires too
much unnecessary effort to use them.
"Based on my thoughts, I believe that the number of sword techniques can be further reduced. If I can combine 1834 of them into
one move, it becomes One, thereby achieving singularity.
'This is the true Polaris Sect.
"However, my end и.σ.ν.єℓє.вσ.σк.¢σм is near. I no longer have time to research it."
Upon seeing the founder's final words, James was lost in contemplation.
The founder was right. Though the Polaris Sword Art was sophisticated and powerful, it required too many moves to use it
perfectly. Victory would be decided in a single move.
However, James did not have the luxury to ruminate over and cultivate the sword techniques. He still had much to do.
After recording the sword techniques, he pulled his phone out and recorded the message on the stone wall, saving them in his
photo album. Then, he turned and leave the Sacred Fire Cavern.
By the time he left, it was already nighttime.
Many disciples of the Polaris Sect guarded the cavern. Archbishop Polaris was among them.
