Chapter 568 The Three Treasures of Great Xia
Chen Guan thought to himself, "I did want to submit my application, but they didn't want it."

"Let's talk about it next time," Chen Guan said casually.

He was quite satisfied with the performance of the Crippled Fist. With the addition of the Blood Coagulation Fork, the Crippled Fist became even more unpredictable.

Even the Black Dragon with the sixth level of perception couldn't escape the effects of the Crippled Fist, which shows how abnormal this secret technique is.

The only downside is that this thing requires close contact to function.

The battles within the cave were filled with all sorts of swordplay and ranged attacks, making close combat extremely difficult.

Chen Guan now feels that he is indeed lacking a powerful movement technique, which must be a compound technique, so fast that it is unparalleled, and it would be best to combine it with the crippling fist.

Otherwise, you'd have to physically withstand a wave of attacks before you could even reach the enemy. If your protective divine power couldn't hold out anytime, it would be too dangerous.

However, compound techniques are hard to come by. Those famous and powerful compound techniques are all closely guarded secrets, and they are not so easy to obtain.

Even if you could get the recipe, you might not be able to gather all those secret techniques.

Secret Technique: Wave Riding (Peerless).

Cultivation requirements: Water-based exotic elemental energy.

Energy consumption: 21.

Skill level: 1.

Chen Guan discovered that a movement technique had indeed appeared, but this technique was only used on water and was not very effective on land.

However, it was perfect for his current needs, so Chen Guan directly learned the Wave-Riding Secret Technique.

It secretly released the Ghost Eye, sending it underwater to devour the black dragon's corpse.

Having mastered the secret technique of treading the waves, Chen Guan leaped up and stood on the water's surface.

Wave walking and water walking are two completely different techniques. Water walking utilizes the power of water, which is considered to move by borrowing force. One must constantly move on the water surface to stay above the water.

However, treading the waves is not like that. Chen Guan stands still on the water's surface, and waves surge beneath his feet, supporting his feet so that he can stand still on the water without sinking.

Of course, all of this comes at a price. The 21 points of vital energy consumed every second is just the basic consumption. If Chen Guan needs to run on the water, the more force he exerts, the more vital energy he will consume.

"As expected of a master, Brother Chen Guan is truly a master. His demeanor is truly admirable. You were too modest before, otherwise I would have realized you were a master long ago." Looking at Chen Guan floating on the water, Ma Xiaolong felt that this brother was unfathomable and was simply a god.

"Brother, what's your name?" Ma Xiaolong wanted to know Chen Guan's name and background.

"It's better if you don't know." Chen Guan chatted casually with Ma Xiaolong, waiting for Ghost Eye to finish swallowing the black dragon before saying anything more.

The water was extremely deep, and Ma Xiaolong and his companions could not see what was happening underwater, let alone the Ghost Eye.

Ma Xiaolong assumed that the gushing blood was caused by Chen Guan injuring the Black Dragon. The scene of the Black Dragon spitting blood from its seven orifices had left a deep impression on him.

“Then I’ll still call you Master Brother…” Ma Xiaolong was very happy and chatted with Chen Guan for a long time.

Seeing Chen Guan standing on the water like an immortal, Ma Xiaolong was even more impressed.

“Brother expert, that black dragon must be of high quality and level, full of good stuff. How about I help you pull it up from the bottom of the water?” Ma Xiaolong felt a connection with Chen Guan, which was why he had talked to him so much. He was very happy, and thinking that the black dragon's corpse was still underwater, he wanted to help retrieve it. He also suspected that Chen Guan had misunderstood him as trying to steal the black dragon, so he brought it up first to see what Chen Guan thought.

"No need," Chen Guan said, then asked, "Was the person Black Dragon mentioned earlier your elder?"

"Who knows who it's talking about? I've never heard my family mention it, that it had a grudge against a black dragon." Ma Xiaolong also found this matter quite inexplicable. He didn't know who the black dragon was talking about either, but he guessed that it might be an elder in his family.

"If that's the case, could it be referring to your Dragon Descendant talent? It might be mistaking talent for bloodline." Chen Guan felt this speculation was more reasonable.

"That's quite possible." Ma Xiaolong also felt that this speculation was more reasonable.

The two chatted for a few more minutes. Ghost Eye had already swallowed the black dragon's corpse, and its body had swelled to nearly twice its original size. It probably wouldn't disappear anytime soon.

Chen Guan put the ghost eye away and let it digest slowly.

"I should go now. See you again someday." Chen Guan said, riding the waves into the distance.

"Master, where are you going? Let's go together!" Ma Xiaolong swam forward anxiously, wanting to catch up with Chen Guan.

However, his swimming speed was no match for Chen Guan, who was swimming on the waves. Soon, he could no longer see Chen Guan's shadow, so he had to return to the shore and went back to Bingcheng in frustration.

Chen Guan didn't go too far. He stopped in a glacial crevice next to the canyon that had turned into a great river and hid there.

With a flick of his wrist, an object appeared in his hand—a map. The map's texture was also very strange; it was neither gold nor jade, neither cloth nor silk, nor any kind of leather.

It was about the size of a palm, and it did resemble some kind of scale, except that the scale was extremely soft and could curl up like a leaf.

This thing was spat out by the Ghost Eye; it must be something from the Black Dragon's body, and something the Ghost Eye couldn't digest.

Upon closer inspection of the scales, one can see that the map on them is somewhat outlined, but it is clearly incomplete, consisting only of a portion of a certain map.

"That's strange. How could there be such a strange map inside the black dragon's body?" Chen Guan flipped the map over to look at the back.

There were some words written afterward, but like the map, they were all part of an article. Each row was incoherent, and most of them were unclear about the meaning of the surrounding text.

The only part that I could understand was the three characters "山开斧" (mountain-opening axe).

"Could this thing be a treasure map? And what treasure is called the Mountain-Splitting Axe in that treasure trove?" Chen Guan pondered to himself.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard voices coming from afar.

"Brother, there's no use in being so anxious. The Milky Way is thawing, something no one expected. No matter how fast you go now, you can't stop it." A man's voice came.

"You don't know anything. I'm not trying to stop the Milky Way from thawing; I'm going to take the three treasures of my Xia family," another somewhat rough voice sneered.

"Are the three treasures of our Xia family here? I don't know about them," the man from before said again.

"What do you know? You spend all day eating, drinking, and having fun without doing anything productive." The rough voice continued, "Back then, our ancestors froze the Milky Way and suppressed countless mysterious spirits and ferocious beasts. The Three Treasures are the source of that."

"You keep talking about the Three Treasures, what exactly are the Three Treasures?" the man from before asked again.

"Fool! You don't even know the three treasures of our Xia family? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to throw you into the oil cauldron." The rough voice cursed fiercely, but still explained, "The three treasures of our Xia family are naturally the River Map, the Mountain-Splitting Axe, and the Water-Avoiding Sword. These three are all top-level divine treasures. You don't even know the names of your own family's treasures. Don't go out and say you're my brother, and don't say you're surnamed Xia. Our Xia family can't afford to lose face like that."
