You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 112 - 45, Thirteen Flames_3

Lin Yue carefully looked at the small characters.

[The Eleventh Strike, requiring Shaoyang and Wind...]

[The Twelfth Strike, requiring Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang to be perfected, integrating into the Realm of Wind and Fire, then one can...]

[The Thirteen Strikes, requiring the Unity of the Four Symbols, perfectly merged as one, peering into the Heaven and Earth Law, achieving the Immortality of Wind and Fire, then one can master the Thirteen Strikes. This is my utmost pinnacle; I only hope that successors will continue this supreme technique.]

Irregular breakages caused many characters to be missing.

"Your Highness, in these three slashes, one can feel intense Sword Intent, likely left by the owner of the stele."

Baili Fengzhi spoke softly, "From these three slashes on the stele, the Martial Arts Realm of the last slash should be slightly higher than mine. He must have found his Martial Arts True Self, peered into the laws, just short of breaking through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, then he could condense the Soul of Martial Arts."

"Oh?" Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

Baili Fengzhi had said she was just on the threshold of the Martial Arts True Self; since the stele’s owner was slightly higher in realm, he naturally had fully crossed the threshold.

"Your Highness only needs to touch those holes, then you can sense the Realm of Wind and Fire."

Baili Fengzhi said, "Actually, these holes are the most precious part of the stele; I presume they were recorded with the Killing Skill Realm by consuming one’s soul."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Such a high realm in the last three slashes, should it not suit me?"

"Indeed, it is difficult to comprehend."

Baili Fengzhi nodded slightly and continued, "The sect at Red Maple Lake also has rather poor fortune. The remaining parts of the stele contain the deepest three Swords Intentions. Without even grasping the True Martial Arts, how much can a group of Martial Cultivators understand? Furthermore, if their practice is not of the Wind and Fire, it is even less useful."

She paused, then added, "The greatest use of these remnants is to set direction; these last three slashes lead straight to the Martial Arts True Self, and comprehending them wouldn’t lead astray."

Lin Yue said no more and immediately took out the dozens of stele fragments found at the bottom of the lake from his storage space.

The fragments were still wet and sticky; he casually controlled the Water Element to wash them, then used the Wind Element and Fire Element to dry them out, quickly making them as clean as new.

"Did you bring the tree resin you were supposed to prepare?" Lin Yue turned and looked at Baili Fengzhi.

Baili Fengzhi immediately took out a tile jar and said, "Your Highness, this is the best tree resin available in Liangzhou City, suitable for binding the stele together, just don’t bake it with fire."

"Alright, help me piece this stele together."

"Yes."

Immediately, the two began swiftly restoring and gluing the stele fragments.

After a period of around the length of drinking a cup of tea.

Under the illumination of the Long Bright Pearl, a nearly seven-feet-tall stele appeared before the two.

However, the middle of the stele was missing a large piece; if not wedged with other fragments, the stele would likely not even stand.

"The Fist Strike to the third Strike is complete. The fourth and fifth are missing, but from the sixth onwards, all are complete."

Lin Yue stood in front of the stele, scrutinizing it closely, then nodded slightly and said, "At least it’s better than I imagined, at least the first three are practicable; we’ll find the missing parts later."

"Your Highness, it would still be better to find them."

Baili Fengzhi took a serious look and said, "These thirteen strikes form a whole Killing Technique. The creator pushed the Wind and Fire Realm from the initial Five Elements to the perfection of the Four Symbols and the Three Talents. The Thirteen Strikes are perfectly unified and indeed powerful; it would truly be a pity if they are incomplete."

"Mm, we’ll try our best to find them."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, then looked toward the top of the stele.

There, the name of this Killing Technique was carved—

Thirteen Flames!

"Your Highness, there are also characters on the back of the stele."

Baili Fengzhi walked to the back of the stele to look, then said somewhat surprised, "Your Highness, come quickly and look."
