Chapter 551
Hung Siu spent his time cultivating quietly, and one sudden day, he overcame the boundary and emerged as a five-chambered cultivator, leaving the entire city bewildered.
Having a strong bond, Hung Leung was genuinely glad for his elder brother. He was not jealous in the slightest and even suggested Hung Siu become the next clan leader without hesitation.
It was important to know that, in Great Wisdom City, the position of Hung Clan leader was equivalent to Great Wisdom City’s mayor and owner. Yet, Hung Leung let go of the position willingly, and Hung Siu did not have his own family so he treated Hung Leung’s son as his own, passing down his martial arts techniques and gliphilities to them.
Hung Siu’s gaze subconsciously landed on the blurry figures on the silver screen. With his cultivation, he could naturally tell who the figures were.
“I’m more interested in the Cloud Palace Itinerants’ performance. Cloud Palace is said to be best at creating miracles, and if both of them manage to decode the secret that nobody has succeeded in for centuries...”
Eighteen silver fish followed Hung Ching Sun around, and he handled the situation with ease, advancing and retreating when he needed to. Hung Ching Sun was not in a hurry to defeat the fish, instead he kept looking around as if he was searching for something.
As somebody who had participated in the festival for seven years, he was more than familiar with the process. But what he wanted was not to simply make it through.
The Heavenly Illusion was named as such since everything that appeared was just an illusion. The waterfall was just like a volcano, erupting with the energy that it had stored for a year, and the silver fish were fake, just products of the energy. Thus, the fish around him would only grow in number.
To most participants, the fish represented their level.
It started from nine fish, then eighteen, and it increased by multiples of nine. Every nine fish represented a stage, and the more fish one was able to take down, the higher their level would be. Whichever level the participant ended up with, they would be allowed to cultivate at the corresponding level of the waterfall.
But as the direct descendant of the Hung Clan, there was no need for Hung Ching Sun to fight for the right to cultivate at the waterfall; the waterfall was as good as the clan’s backyard, so he could enter anytime he wished.
Hung Ching Sun was searching for the secret hidden in the Heavenly Illusion.
The secret of the Heavenly Illusion was a legend in Great Wisdom City. Only cultivators below the two-chambered state were allowed in the illusion, and after hundreds of festivals that were held, there was long news of cultivators sensing or sighting that something was hidden in the illusion. Some said it was a passage that led to the next level of the illusion, while there were also those saying how there were precious treasures or martial arts skills hidden in the illusion.
Kam Chin Kee created a new technique in this world with his puppetry. The rumor of him being Craftsman Kam was all over the place, and many organisations researched his puppetry skills.
However, nobody had mimicked him successfully.
Kam Chin Kee made it look easy, but he needed dozens of strings to control the puppets for them to act in unpredictable ways. The loss of a single string would result in a loss of agility and power.
Currently, Kam Chin Kee was standing in the illusion calmly, as if there were many invisible hands controlling his puppets for him. He cleared twenty-seven fish with his puppets and made it to the fourth stage; how fast was he?
After four years in Cloud Palace, not only had Chui Yim improved drastically, but Kam Chin Kee too.
Before Chui Yim picked up Flowing July Flame, he never once defeated Kam Chin Kee in any spar because the other had already created his personal gliph, Genesis.
This was the gliph that Kam Chin Kee used to save Lee Bak during the Cloud Palace enrollment.
Genesis was used to create extremely thin gliph strings through special methods.
Gliph strings were not actual items, just a result of the connection of mental strength and heaven and earth energy. But through the Genesis Gliph that Kam Chin Kee created, the gliph strings could transform into an existence between reality and illusion. The intent to create something from nothing – Genesis. Now, Kam Chin Kee did not need strings to control his puppets; instead, he just used the Genesis Gliph to do so.
Kam Chin Kee went into the Heavenly Silver Waterfall with no prior knowledge, but dealing with group enemies was his speciality to start with.
Boom boom boom...
Blue Wolf’s scary face opened from the sides, and numerous poisonous needles shot out, making five silver fish disappear in an instant. Kam Chin Kee stood in the middle with three puppets at three of his sides.
The surrounding fish all disappeared, replaced by forty-five silver whirlpools now.
