Chapter 411: Knight Island

"Young Master, is this the East Sea?"

The crane flew all the way to the east and reached the shores of the East Sea after three hours.

Hongshu had never seen the sea before. Seeing the boundless sea, she couldn't help but stand up and ask excitedly.

"That's right. This is the East Sea. Is it spectacular?"

"Spectacular. I have heard the legends of flood dragons and the sea since I was a child. Today I finally saw half of it. I am truly happy!"

Hongshu looked at the spectacular scene of water and sky merging into one and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"What is difficult about seeing the other half? Although I don't have a flood dragon, I do have a green dragon!"

Lin Fan waved his hand, and a green dragon appeared before the three women.

"Dragon... dragon, it really is a dragon!"

Hongshu didn't expect Lin Fan to really let her see a dragon. In her excitement, she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Today I will take you to be dragon riders for once!"

Lin Fan took back the crane and took the three women to fly onto the head of the green dragon.

"Xiaoqing, go for a stroll on the sea!"

"Yin!"

Lin Fan patted the green dragon’s head to let it fly toward the depths of the sea. The green dragon roared, and then it began to ride the clouds and mist.

"Wow, this green dragon flies faster than the crane!"

The three women were terrified when they first boarded the dragon’s head, but after a while, they gradually calmed down and began to enjoy the feeling of riding the clouds and mist.

"Xiaoqing, where did you fly to? Is this still the East Sea?"

After flying for an hour, Lin Fan felt something was wrong. Xiaoqing seemed to have flown to the South Sea.

"Eh, there is an island below, and there are quite a few people on the island. Let's go down and take a look."

Lin Fan patted Xiaoqing’s head gently to show his dissatisfaction, then saw that there were many people on an island below, so he let Xiaoqing land with interest.

"Who comes to my Knight Island?"

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the highest point of the island, facing Lin Fan on the dragon’s head from afar.

"Knight Island?"

Lin Fan looked thoughtfully at the two old men in front of him and a large group of martial arts masters below.

"Island Masters Long and Mu, why didn't you call me, Heavenly Secret Young Master, to drink Laba porridge?"

"So it is the Heavenly Secret Young Master in person. It is not that the two of us did not invite you, but the invitation once every ten years will only happen next year. And at this time, it is still early before Laba, and we haven't prepared yet. When Laba comes next year, the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil will naturally issue a copper plate to the Heavenly Secret Young Master."

The two Island Masters, Long and Mu, exchanged glances and then smiled and explained to Lin Fan.

"You invite people to the island just to study martial arts; why be so rigid about these forms? Now that I have come here by chance, let me see if I can help you solve this mystery that has remained unsolved for decades!"

Lin Fan didn't mind. Since he was already here, why wait for next year's Laba? He would just see if he could crack the Tai Xuan Sutra.

"The Heavenly Secret Young Master’s words are reasonable. Then please follow me!"

The two Island Masters, Long and Mu, exchanged glances and then nodded.

The Heavenly Secret Young Master’s reputation was far and wide, and they had heard of it on Knight Island. Moreover, he was mysterious and unpredictable, and this time he had even come across the sea riding a dragon. Perhaps he could truly solve the confusion that had plagued the two brothers for many years!

Lin Fan took back the green dragon and then followed the two Island Masters, Long and Mu, toward the depths of Knight Island with the three women.

Soon, Long and Mu led Lin Fan and the others into a cave. On the stone walls of this cave were a large number of characters and pictures, and a large number of martial arts figures were studying the murals as if intoxicated. Even when Lin Fan and the others entered, it didn't attract their attention.

"It seems everyone is obsessed with the martial arts here!"

Lin Fan said to Long and Mu with a smile.

"That's right. My two brothers invite masters from all over the world to Knight Island every ten years to comprehend the martial arts here. Unfortunately, no one has been able to comprehend it. And because they are obsessed with martial arts cultivation, these people are unwilling to leave Knight Island. Over time, through rumors, Knight Island has become notorious. The Jianghu mistakenly believes that our Knight Island murdered these masters, and others are unwilling to come to Knight Island to eat Laba porridge. Every time they receive a copper plate from our Knight Island, it is as if they have received the death register of the King of Hell."

Long and Mu were a bit emotional. Actually, they had no malice; they just wanted to find people to help comprehend martial arts. These people were willing to stay here; what could they do?

Lin Fan looked at these people thoughtfully and also felt a bit curious. Although there were many martial arts fanatics in the Jianghu, it shouldn't be that every one of these people was a martial arts fanatic, right?

You must know that many of them were heads of families or even heads of sects; how could they abandon everything and painstakingly study martial arts here?

Afterward, Lin Fan focused his gaze on the stone walls, and only then did he discover the strangeness. These characters and patterns on the stone walls had a mysterious spiritual power within them.

Those who studied them would unknowingly devote their entire mind and spirit to them, having no time to care about anything else, not even remembering their families or sects, so naturally, they wouldn't think about leaving.

"The characters and patterns in the front have already been studied by my two brothers, but only the characters and patterns in the last stone room remain, and no matter how we two brothers study them, we cannot understand them. We guess that this is where the internal cultivation method of this earth-shattering supreme martial art lies!"

Long and Mu brought Lin Fan to the last stone room and said with some regret.

Lin Fan could see it. The senior expert who carved this Tai Xuan Sutra definitely had a bad sense of humor; he had been digging pits since the outermost stone room.

The principle that martial arts go from shallow to deep is known to a three-year-old child, so he misled the practitioners from the beginning. The more deeply the practitioners understood the characters and patterns in the front stone rooms, the more confused they would be when they reached this last stone room.

Only by forgetting all the cultivation gains from the previous stone rooms, and then ignoring the misleading characters in this room itself, and devoting one's mind and spirit into the interior of the characters, would one have a chance to comprehend this supreme immortal scripture, the Tai Xuan Sutra.

These characters are actually not martial arts cultivation methods, but martial arts diagrams. The reason "Dog Hybrid" succeeded in his cultivation was because he was illiterate and treated the characters as pictures, so he was able to learn the Tai Xuan Sutra.

Of course, "Dog Hybrid" himself was equivalent to cheating; his comprehension was heaven-defying. If you changed to someone who was illiterate but had poor comprehension, they wouldn't succeed either.

However, Lin Fan’s comprehension was not inferior at all, so if "Dog Hybrid" could do it, Lin Fan naturally could too.

Understanding the key, Lin Fan devoted his mind and spirit into the characters and began to comprehend the Tai Xuan Sutra.

"Zhao guests hang tassels, Wu hooks are bright as frost. Silver saddles shine on white horses, rushing like shooting stars. Ten steps to kill one person, a thousand miles without leaving a trace. After the matter is done, brush off clothes and go, hiding deep one's body and name..."

Deep in Lin Fan’s eyes, the Tai Xuan Sutra was constantly being practiced, and obscure and mysterious fluctuations were revealed on his body.

Long and Mu noticed the abnormality, and then looked at each other in surprise. No way? The Heavenly Secret Young Master had only been here for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and he had comprehended the supreme immortal scripture that they hadn't been able to comprehend for decades?
