Chapter 18

Seeing Mu Yang nodded slightly and said, "This point is actually very similar to the canned knowledge of Sumeru; you shouldn't find it unfamiliar."

"Although you cannot completely master it, you can still be considered to have learned it. This is already considered cheating; after all, there are some things that even if you work hard for a lifetime, you would never be able to learn."

"Then, are you interested in learning my martial arts?"

"Others might not be able to learn it, but you absolutely can. Furthermore, because of the Gnosis, you can use the Geo element. I believe you can also learn my control over the Geo element!" Zhong Li stared at Seeing Mu Yang and said in a serious tone.

Seeing Mu Yang was instantly tempted. Morax's martial arts—this was the existence known as the Martial God. Perhaps Beelzebul was not inferior to Morax in martial arts, but when it came to strength and control over elemental power, she was likely no match for him.

He chuckled and said, "I am actually a bit curious: what exactly is worth you paying such a high price?"

Zhong Li looked toward the north and said softly, "If one day in the future, the Cryo Archon does something rebellious, I hope you can spare her a path to survival."

"Is it just a path to survival?" Seeing Mu Yang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "I didn't expect that she would be worth you paying such a high price."

Zhong Li could not help but let out a bitter smile: "A path to survival is enough, even though by then, she might have no intention of living."

"As for why I am doing this, she did something we dared not do."

"More than five hundred years ago, we all discovered the anomalies of the Heavenly Principles, and we all suspected that the Heavenly Principles might have already developed problems."

"And the destruction of Khaenri'ah at that time brought us many emotions. We were all worried that if our own nations developed too much, they would be subject to a reckoning by the Heavenly Principles."
