“Stone Monkey Celestial Art?” The Fourth Prince's eyes paused for a moment.
“That's right, Stone Monkey Celestial Art.” Qin Wushang nodded in response, “The Stone Monkey Celestial Art is one of the Ten Great Celestial Arts of the ancient primordial era, and each of the Ten Great Celestial Arts represents the ultimate of the Great Dao, representing the foundation of laws and divine powers. For example, the Kun Peng Celestial Art represents the ultimate in speed. With the Kun Peng Celestial Art, no one in the world can surpass your speed. When you practice it to the extreme, you can even reverse time and space with speed alone. Another example is the Ancestral Dragon Celestial Art, which represents the ultimate in battle power. It can amplify a person's combat power. Back then, the Ancestral Dragon amplified his battle power by thirty-three times, shattering the Heavenly Court. And then there's the Phoenix Celestial Art, which represents the ultimate in life. Each death allows for Nirvana rebirth. These Celestial Arts are all extremely terrifying. Among the Ten Great Celestial Arts, the Stone Monkey Celestial Art represents the ultimate in clones. If you possess the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, it means you possess the ultimate clone!”
“This will naturally put you in an invincible position! Just imagine, when you are fighting Lin Changqing, and you use the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, you create thousands of clones. Lin Changqing has to kill every single one of your clones to defeat you, but the Stone Monkey Celestial Art's clones are inexhaustible. It can be said that you are inherently invincible. In the primordial era, there were legends that the Stone Monkey was unkillable. The fundamental reason is that the legendary figure Sun Wukong could create countless clones. How could you kill him? The Stone Monkey Celestial Art inherits this Great Dao characteristic of Sun Wukong, creating thousands of clones, making it impossible for the enemy to kill you. It's equivalent to having countless lives. Tell me, how can Lin Changqing fight you?”
Qin Wushang continued, “Moreover, as one of the Ten Great Celestial Arts, the Stone Monkey Celestial Art also has other mysteries. It can also help you amplify your combat power. According to the ancient books I have learned, the Stone Monkey Celestial Art has a secret offensive technique called Grand Thousand Clones. By using this clone technique, each clone you summon can possess about one-tenth of the main body's strength. The Grand Thousand Clones can summon about a hundred clones. If each clone has one-tenth of your strength, a hundred clones together are equivalent to amplifying your overall combat power by ten times!”
“Tell me, with the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, won't you be able to enhance your strength and defeat the current Lin Changqing?”
Hearing his imperial father say this, the Fourth Prince's breathing became rapid.
He was tempted! Yes, that was the legendary Stone Monkey Celestial Art, one of the Ten Great Celestial Arts, possessing all sorts of magical powers. As long as he possessed it, he could indeed instantly enhance his strength, and defeating Lin Changqing would be a piece of cake.
Just imagine that scene, he was dueling with Lin Changqing, summoning thousands of clones, and Lin Changqing simply couldn't stop him.
The more the Fourth Prince thought about it, the more excited he became. He seemed to see a scene in the future, where he learned the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and summoned clones. A hundred of himself ganging up on Lin Changqing. No matter how strong Lin Changqing was, he couldn't possibly defeat a hundred of himself, right? A hundred of himself could definitely completely crush Lin Changqing!
At that time, he would also be able to snatch the Chu Kingdom princess back from Lin Changqing!
But then, the Fourth Prince couldn't get excited again. He suddenly remembered that he had just lost the token to enter the Stone Monkey Secret Realm to Lin Changqing on the arena.
Although there was still one token left, and he could still enter the Stone Monkey Secret Realm, the problem was, after entering the Stone Monkey Secret Realm, the Fourth Prince didn't have the confidence to compete with Lin Changqing for the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.
“Imperial Father, what you said about the Stone Monkey Celestial Art is indeed able to enhance my strength, but I am now aware of my own limitations. Right now, I am indeed not Lin Changqing's opponent. If I enter the Stone Monkey Secret Realm and compete with him for the Celestial Art, I am afraid I will not be his match.” The Fourth Prince said, “Could it be that Imperial Father, your intention is to wait for Lin Changqing to enter the secret realm and obtain the Celestial Art, and then we ambush him outside the Starry Sky Ancient Road, kill him, and then obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art… …?”
“Of course not.” Qin Wushang shook his head, “The Ten Great Celestial Arts are all very special. In the same era, only one person can inherit a particular art. If Lin Changqing obtains the Celestial Art in the Stone Monkey Secret Realm, it is equivalent to him obtaining the core inheritance. That is to say, this era has chosen him as the inheritor of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. It will be very difficult for us to ambush him outside and strip away the inheritance.”
“In the ancient era, anyone who obtained the core inheritance of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, even if they were killed, it would be very difficult for outsiders to seize the Celestial Art, because at the moment the inheritor is killed, the core inheritance of the Stone Monkey Celestial Book will automatically escape into time and space, waiting for the next inheritor.”
“Then, what is your meaning, Imperial Father?” The Fourth Prince asked. At this moment, he was very anxious. Hearing what his imperial father said, it was really impossible to let Lin Changqing enter the secret realm and obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.
But now, the key problem was that he had lost the token, which was equivalent to giving Lin Changqing an assist. Entering the secret realm to compete, he was no match for Lin Changqing.
The Fourth Prince suddenly felt that he had indeed lost a lot in this arena competition. Not only did he lose his reputation, but he was also likely to lose the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.
Just imagine, if there had been no arena competition today, if he had not lost the token, no matter how strong Lin Changqing was, without the token, he would not be able to enter the Stone Monkey Secret Realm and compete with him for the Celestial Art.
“My meaning is…” Qin Wushang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took out a black box from his waist. The box was square-shaped, and each side was engraved with a stone monkey emitting a primordial aura. When Qin Wushang opened it, there was a black jade pendant inside the box. This jade pendant was filled with spiritual energy, and it was also engraved with a stone monkey pattern.
What was even more magical was that as soon as this black jade pendant came into contact with the air, all sorts of strange phenomena were demonstrated in the sky, appearing extremely mysterious.
“Imperial Father, this is…” The Fourth Prince asked.
“This is a good thing, a good thing that can help you obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.” Qin Wushang replied, his eyes seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, “More than two thousand years ago, when I entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road, the Stone Monkey Secret Realm was also opened at that time. I remember that I entered the secret realm with the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms at that time, preparing to snatch the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. I vaguely remember that after entering the secret realm, I suppressed the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms and slaughtered them in the Stone Monkey Secret Realm. I thought at the time that I could obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, after all, I was the strongest at the time, and none of the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms could compete with me, but I was wrong. I ultimately did not obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. Only then did I understand that I was still lacking something to obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.”
“That is this jade pendant.” As he said that, Qin Wushang groped the black jade pendant with his fingers. His eyes were filled with regret and vicissitudes, as if he had many stories with this jade pendant.
“Imperial Father, are you saying that only with this jade pendant can one obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art?” The Fourth Prince asked again.
“That's right.” Qin Wushang nodded, “You know, the Stone Monkey Secret Realm is divided into inner and outer layers. At that time, I fought my way through the inner layer and defeated all the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms, and walked into the most core palace. As long as I stepped into it, I would be able to obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, but unfortunately, I couldn't get in. At that time, the spirit of the inheritance artifact outside the palace told me that I was missing something. It said that I was missing the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, and only by holding the jade pendant could I walk into this palace and accept the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.”
