Chapter 2104 Nine Skills
“Nine skills!”
“Within this Soul Swallowing Pearl, there are nine skills I need to master . Only then will I be able to fully activate it, and therefore utilise it,” Jian Wushuang said .
He started researching the nine skills .
Without a doubt, all nine skills were exceedingly profound . The first skill alone would take a normal Cultivator at least tens of thousands of years to master . These nine skills got tougher one after another .
“These nine skills are profound, but not too hard for me . ”
Jian Wushuang mumbled as he began researching the the first skill .
A fortnight passed .
Within the dungeon, Jian Wushuang, with his legs crossed, suddenly opened his eyes . A strong light emerged from his pupils .
“The first skill, done!”
Jian Wushuang was elated .
He had not expected it to be so easy, mastering the first skill .
Two weeks was all it took .
If it were a normal Cultivator, it would have been impossible .
But at the same moment, Jian Wushuang felt something amiss about it .
“How could this have happened?”
“The nine skills were so profound, why did it feel so easy when I cultivated it? I felt like a fish in water…”
“Not just the nine skills of the Soul Swallowing Pearl, it was the same for the other skills, like the Sword Principle Xuan Luo . That was equally profound, but I learnt it just the same . ”
Jian Wushuang frowned .
He felt that his own rate of realisation was too fast for comfort .
Regardless of secret skills or opportunities, if he had to realise it himself, it would always be way faster than an average Cultivator .
Perhaps it was due to his own talent, but certainly not this level of outrageousness?
“What reason could it be?” Jian Wushuang mumbled to himself . As he delved into thought, he came up with two possible reasons .
First possibility, was Inverse Cultivation!
The Inverse Cultivation defied nature in every way, perhaps as he trained Inverse Cultivation his body changed too, achieving certain breakthroughs in realisation .
This possibility could be easily verified .

He simply needed to ask Emperor Bai if he too had understood secret skills with such ease .
If that were the case, Inverse Cultivation would be the reason, and vice versa .
The second possibility, was a secret skill Jian Wushuang had learned a long time ago .
“The Universal Dao Scripture!” Jian Wushuang looked serious .
The Universal Dao Scripture was passed on to him when he had been Xuan Yi’s disciple .
Jian Wushuang always felt that secret skill had something unique to it, but he never understood what it was used for . Xuan Yi then had told him he would learn to understand on his own .
As time passed, Jian Wushuang realised the Universal Dao Scripture improved his consciousness significantly . His master Xuan Yi confirmed it, and passed him the second Scripture .
Both he and the King of Venomous Worms leeching off of him thought that the second Scripture helped him improve Soul Power .
Or at least, that was what he thought .
Now? Not so much .
Although his Soul Strength has indeed improved tremendously since he had mastered the second Scripture, he realised the Scripture was more complicated than he had thought .
He could tell .

Perhaps the reason he had mastered so many secret skills with such ease was due to this Scripture .
Unfortunately, he couldn’t verify this for now .
The only way to verify his doubts were to either reach a higher level of understanding and ability, or to directly ask his master Xuan Yi himself .
For now, he could only guess .
“Regardless of the reason, this is a great advantage for me,” Jian Wushuang smiled and continued to research the second skill of the Soul Swallowing Pearl .
Time gradually passed .
Outside the dungeon within the old Sky Swallowing Clan lair, King Zhan Cang guarded the place, as still as a statue .
Xiu!
A shadow appeared in front of King Zhan Cang . It was an elegant woman in black, her beauty unrivaled . It was the Black Dragon Emperor, leader of the Black Dragon Clan .
“King Zhan Cang, has the Ancient Emperor exited the dungeon?” The Black Dragon Emperor asked .
“Not yet, I think it will take more time . What do you need?” King Zhan Cang asked .

“Nothing much, I just want to discuss some issues with him regarding the Special Tribes Alliance . Since he’s not out yet, let it be . ” The Black Dragon Emperor looked into the dungeon and smiled, “King Zhan Cang, when he comes out, make sure you let me know!”
“Understood,” King Zhan Cang nodded .
As the Black Dragon Emperor left, King Zhan Cang could not help but scratch his head . “Interesting, the Ancient Emperor has only been in the dungeon for three years, yet she has visited thrice . Everytime she says she has business to discuss, but it doesn’t seem like the case . ”
Besides being a nine-star Ancient God and one of the leaders of the Ancient God Clan, King Zhan Cang was a family man himself . He could feel something was amiss with the Black Dragon Emperor .
It did not seem like she treated him simply as Alliance chief, or her saviour .
Shaking his head, King Zhan Cang threw that thought aside and continued his guard .
At a remote place within the Sky Swallowing Sanctuary, the remaining experts of the Sky Swallowing Clan gathered .
Within a cave residence .
Ba Su, the eerie elder from the Archelon Palace, and the same crimson-cloaked representative from the Holocaust Sect, gathered .
“According to Archelon Palace intelligence, Jian Wushuang has indeed discovered the Holy Object, and has remained within the dungeon these past three years . Obviously, he is trying to cultivate it,” the eerie elder said .
