The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2378

Before the priest laid a few books and upon closer inspection, Gerald realized that they were all guides for learning the supreme heavenly techniques!

"My god!" exclaimed Gerald. Was he in the saintly ruins? Whatever the case was, this senior sure was merciless...

After all, by keeping all this knowledge down here, even the greatest of prodigies would've surely died in the unforgiving river...

Even if someone did manage to slay the Redflame Dragon, nobody would've had the courage to come down here!

"What a vicious senior... With how greedy humans are cultivators included, I can't imagine how many power hungry individuals have died here!" muttered Gerald as he shook his head. Still, he couldn't help but admire the old priest. Though Gerald wanted to at least know his name, there were simply no clues of what it could 've been. All there was, were those books.

Staring at the supreme heavenly technique books that the greatest of cultivators had been seeking out throughout the years, Gerald couldn't help but sigh while shaking his head as he said, "Though Ryder was undoubtedly a prodigy, he eventually went mad just to obtain these books... Was all that even worth it? After all, though I now have access to them, it's not like I can leave this place! I, for one, am not daring enough to leap into the river again! All I can do is stay here till I eventually die beside this senior!"

After wondering what to do for a moment, Gerald suddenly realized something, prompting him to exclaim, "Hold it! Since this senior was able to get past the river and even build this tomb here, he may have had a special technique that allowed him to traverse the river! If I can learn that technique, I may be able to leave! It's certainly a better option than simply waiting here to die!"

Now feeling pumped up, Gerald seriously began flipping through the six books before the corpse... From what he was able to gather, four of them were about martial arts, the fifth taught a technique, and the final one had instructions about creating a formation. These were the masterpieces that the senior had developed throughout his lifetime.

"Let's see... The first one is called the Cosmo-Amorphous Sword Technique... This one has seven styles, huh..." muttered Gerald as he read through the books.

From what Gerald could see, each style of this technique was capable of destroying both the heavens and the earth... Ryder's Thunder Sword Technique was nothing compared to these! Honestly, as long as Gerald mastered the first three styles Skysplit, Thirdhell, and Mokinfinite, nobody would be able to defeat him!

Shaking his head, Gerald then put down the book before reading another.

This one was called the Eight Dragon Lock, and it was a powerful restraining martial art. Definitely as powerful as the Avatar Rope, this technique could apparently immobilize any opponent. Once the essential qi from eight meridians was merged together, even the greatest cultivator would have their elixir-of-life field shattered! When used on a common cultivator, however, all their bones would simply be crushed into a fine paste! How horrifyingly powerful yet impressive!

The technique in the third book was somehow even more mystifying! Rather than a martial art, the Thordifussion Method was more of a supernatural skill. Just by learning the basics, one would be able to penetrate anyone's primordial spirit and diffuse their souls, thus disabling them from entering the netherworld! With that in mind, upon mastering it, one wouldn't need to fear heavenly tribulations anymore since thunder and fire would no longer be able to hurt them!

"My god... No wonder Ryder ridiculed me for not knowing the true extent of martial arts in the cultivation realm... The knowledge of cultivating martial arts truly runs deep..." muttered Gerald as he opened the fourth book.

This book taught a lightness skill known as Golden Blaze Somersault that apparently allowed these who mastered it to travel a thousand miles with just a single somersault! Even by learning the basics, one would already be able to move as swiftly as a shadow, unable to be caught by most people! With how amazing the technique sounded, Gerald could already feel his heart pumping with excitement! Moving on to the fifth book, it apparently had information regarding formations and forcefields. After reading through it, Gerald realized that the formations and forcefields above and below the Red River were created with the information in this book!

With that read, only the sixth book remained... Labeled 'The Harmonious Five-element Method,' there were apparently ten levels to it. Simply learning the basics would allow one to shift the regulations of the five elements, essentially granting them the ability to bounce the opponent's essential qi off or redirect it to another direction! Upon mastery, one would even be able to transform or resize themselves to their heart's desire! As if that wasn't already enough, mastery would also grant the user the ability to create life without losing any of their Triton qi! Last but not least, one would be able to use this power to pass through dangerous boundaries like the Red River...! While it was true that the river would still melt the user, they'd be able to easily regenerate themselves!

By this point, Gerald's hands were already trembling, "This... This was his ticket out of the Red River..!"
