"Hehe, this Void-Stepping Technique, I don't know what it's made of, but almost every Heavenly Profound-level martial arts manual is like this, which is its peculiarity."
Seeing Xu Yu's change in expression, Lin Yan smiled again, but he wasn't surprised at all. Almost everyone who came into contact with the Void-Stepping Technique for the first time would be so shocked, even he was no exception back then.
With the explanation, Xu Yu finally calmed down and gently opened the Void-Stepping Technique.
Then he saw on the first page, a clear figure was drawn with simple lines, as if stepping on the void, walking towards him.
The lifelike scene, almost leaping off the page, directly touched Xu Yu's mind again, and he was once again drawn into a strange space.
But this space was a beautiful mountain valley, and just as he was full of doubts, a slightly blurry figure suddenly appeared in the sky in front of him.
As soon as the figure appeared, it took its first step.
With just one step, the once calm and still valley suddenly began to tremble slightly. In that instant, a terrifying thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind:
An earthquake!!
"Pfft!"
With the second step, the figure took another step, completely merging with the surrounding rocks, as if he were the mountain, and the mountain was him, while Xu Yu became the only external object outside the mountain.
In an instant, the slight swaying became violent, and even with Xu Yu's abilities, he swayed abruptly, almost being overturned by the violent shaking.
"Pfft!"
The third step!
When the figure took another step, the entire surrounding world panicked. Layers of fine rocks slid down the mountainside, rolling downwards, and the ground beneath Xu Yu's feet began to undulate violently.
Rumbling and booming—
faced with the terrifying and immense power of the heavens and earth, Xu Yu was utterly terrified. An earthquake? Each step the other took triggered a powerful tremor, and it seemed the more steps they took, the stronger the tremors became.
If their first step was a level one or two earthquake, only those with extremely keen senses could feel it, then after three steps, the tremors had risen to a terrifying level of level five or six.
"Poof!"
The fourth step!
As the figure took another step, the surrounding world suddenly began to rumble with deafening roars. The sky collapsed, the earth caved in!
The true end of the world arrived in an instant.
Xu Yu, filled with terror, had no idea how to react. He was completely engulfed by the terrifying boulders and fissures in the ground all around him.
The terrifying apocalyptic scene was like a mark on his soul, imprinted firmly into his mind. Even after returning to the normal world, Xu Yu was still terrified, his heart pounding, and his face deathly pale.
It wasn't until much later that he suddenly snapped out of it and came to his senses. Then he heard Lin Yan's familiar voice, "The first page of the 'Stepping into the Void Technique' records the Stepping into the Void. Legend has it that in ancient times, as long as one's martial arts cultivation was sufficient, once this step was executed, it was truly earth-shattering and unstoppable. However, people like us today can only dream of it. Perhaps only within this 'Stepping into the Void Technique' manual can we glimpse its former glory."
With Lin Yan's explanation, Xu Yu deliberately avoided looking at the figure on the first page and then saw the text explanations on the side.
These explanations were precisely the cultivation method of the Stepping into the Void.
After a few quick glances, Xu Yu couldn't understand the meaning, and he didn't even recognize most of the ancient traditional characters. However, the scene in the illustration earlier had left a deep impression on him.
"Stepping into the Void... In an era brimming with spiritual energy, could anyone truly achieve such terrifying power?" A flicker of horror crossed Xu Yu's eyes as he abruptly closed them, carefully recalling the scene of his previous attempt at stepping into the Void. He then subtly moved his body, tentatively taking a step in a highly imitative manner.
Anyone witnessing such terrifying, godlike power would be tempted, wishing they could possess it themselves. Xu Yu was no exception; that ability was something he deeply yearned for.
However, his step was utterly ordinary. After taking it, he gained nothing but crushing a few tender blades of grass. The aura of complete integration with the surrounding world was completely absent.
"Hehe, if Mr. Xu is interested, you might as well study it carefully for a moment." Seeing Xu Yu's highly imitative step, Lin Yan, standing to the side, laughed again, speaking directly and without hesitation.
But in reality, he was merely being polite, to avoid making Xu Yu uncomfortable.
Putting aside other matters, when he first acquired the Void Stepping Technique, he was also deeply moved and studied it diligently for a long time. However, a Heavenly Profound level martial art is still a Heavenly Profound level martial art. Firstly, mastering its true essence is extremely difficult. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be struggling to fully comprehend the true essence of the third form of the Earthly Yellow level Nine Forms of Heaven-Splitting.
Furthermore, with the current scarcity of spiritual energy in the world, the spiritual energy required for its cultivation is far from sufficient. Therefore, Lin Yan deeply understands that in today's society, the Void Stepping Technique is simply impossible to cultivate.
But seeing Xu Yu's appearance, could he really just ridicule him for overestimating his abilities?
As Lin Yan spoke, Xu Yu, who was walking with his eyes closed, suddenly froze, then abruptly opened his eyes, looked at the Void Stepping Technique in his hand, and turned to Lin Yan sincerely, saying, "Thank you very much, Elder Lin." Void
Stepping Technique!
The divine power of the Void-Stepping Technique was simply unimaginable. He really wanted to study it carefully. Others couldn't easily cultivate it, but he could directly fuse its essence using spiritual energy.
Once such an opportunity was missed, obtaining it again would be extremely difficult.
At least, while the Lin family's Nine Heaven-Splitting Forms were equally powerful, and Xu Yu was equally tempted, they were incomparable to the terrifying power displayed within the Void-Stepping Technique.
The two kinds of excitement were worlds apart!
With just one sentence, Lin Yan, who had been smiling broadly, suddenly froze, and even Lin Zhongzhi's face instantly turned dumbfounded.
What a joke! He really wanted to study it carefully? To cultivate and learn it? This was a martial arts technique for cultivators, not a magic spell for immortals. The Xu Yu before him wasn't even a martial artist, yet he wanted to study this Heavenly Profound level martial art, which was impossible to cultivate in modern society?
This was simply too absurd!
Even though cultivators should possess special techniques to gather spiritual energy, they cultivate their primordial spirit, not their physical body, much less martial arts. Without sufficient physical strength, how can one cultivate martial arts? Furthermore, cultivating the Void-Stepping Technique is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. To master the essence of a single innate martial art, even a Lin family Earthly Yellow level martial art requires at least years of dedicated study and comprehension, let alone a Heavenly Profound level martial art! This
isn't this just asking for trouble?
Completely dumbfounded, the Lin family father and son exchanged bewildered glances, utterly at a loss for words.
