Chapter 485 The Ease of Seeking Nothing, Five Years Later

The Western Regions, the vast desert.

The yellow sand stretched for thousands of miles, and the sky and earth were shrouded in a dim yellow hue.

The group was traveling through the desert, and the sandstorm that blotted out the sky seemed to have no effect on them at all, leaving no trace as they passed by.

It was Ying Xun and his group.

After handling most of the matters in the capital, such as helping Li Yi rescue Yan Ying and killing Jue Tian, ​​he took his wife and disciples to search for martial arts techniques and materials for forging divine weapons.

In other words, he only brought five disciples with him this time: Youruo and the Mingxin and Minghui sisters, the Third Tong, Xiaobianzi, and Aotian.

The materials for forging weapons have been almost collected, and the First Evil Emperor helped to take them to the Sword Worship Manor. Zhong Mei and the others have already begun forging.

Therefore, their journey of thousands of miles was not only for travel but also to seek out a unique skill.

Thousands of years ago, the King of Loulan gathered the world's best swordsmen and created a peerless martial art—the Wuqiu Yijue (无求易诀).

The reason why Bu Jingyun was able to withstand a group of top masters and turn Fengyun III into a personal legend was not only because of his own martial arts talent, but also because he learned the Wuqiu Yijue.

The essence of the "Easy Secret of No Desire" lies in not desiring a son.

It can be added to any martial art, and as long as one has no desires, one can remain invincible.

It becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents and weaker when facing weaker ones.

It seems to have no limits; no matter how many opponents there are, or how strong they are, it can always cope with them using the Wuqiu Yijue (a martial arts technique).

Simply put, the Wuqiu Yijue is a panacea-like skill.

Although Ying Xun was able to catch a glimpse of it through the initial word, he still needed to go there in person to gain a deeper understanding.

The ancient city of Loulan, where Wuqiu Yijue was located, has long been buried by yellow sand.

This unparalleled martial art would never have seen the light of day again if not for a stroke of luck.

Fortunately, the location of the ancient city of Loulan, which was the initial word in Ying Xun's hand, was not a secret to him.

"We've arrived. What I'm looking for is right here."

Ying Xun suddenly stopped and looked down at the rolling yellow sand beneath his feet.

As soon as he stopped, the others also stopped and looked around.

"Master, we're surrounded by yellow sand, I can't see the ancient city of Loulan."

Ao Tian looked puzzled. He had already become Ying Xun's disciple, and although he was the oldest among Ying Xun's disciples, he was the junior brother who joined the sect the latest.

"Junior brother, are you stupid? Since there are no cities around, doesn't that mean the ancient city of Loulan is right under our feet?"

Looking at Mingxin's smug face, Aotian curled his lip and didn't dare to retort.

There was no way to win; we simply couldn't beat them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Aotian is the oldest of Ying Xun's five disciples; his strength... is only slightly better than Xiaobianzi, who started practicing martial arts the latest. He's the one everyone bullies.

Mingxin, being the most lively and cheerful, was the one who bullied him the most.

They even went so far as to claim that they were helping their junior brother practice his skills.

If you dare to talk back, you'll get a beating.

These are lessons learned over a long period of time.

"Let's go down."

As Ying Xun spoke, he stepped on the ground, and with a loud "boom," the yellow sand beneath his feet suddenly exploded, rising more than ten feet high. Beneath the sand lay a ravine.

Without any hesitation, the seven jumped into it, falling about twenty feet before stopping.

The underground was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but Ying Xun possessed divine consciousness.

Looking around, one can see an ancient and dilapidated stone city.

Clearly, this is the Loulan underground palace.

Because it was buried by yellow sand and never saw the light of day, the underground palace had a decaying smell.

"Come with me."

Ying Xun unleashed the Boundless Realm, enveloping himself and You Ruo and the others within it, and flew rapidly in a certain direction.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at a gate.

"Boom!!"

The heavy stone door had barely been pushed open when a vast and peculiar sword intent surged out like a tide.

"A master?!"

Ao Tian's whole body tensed, his expression stern.

He turned around and saw that Ying Xun and the others looked indifferent. Considering that the city had been buried under the yellow sand for countless years, it was impossible for any living people to be here. So he smiled apologetically.

Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see human figures behind the stone gate.

Ying Xun waved his sleeve, stirring up the dust above the underground palace and letting in the sunlight.

At this moment, the others realized that the figures in the underground palace were not people, but terracotta warriors holding swords.

Although the terracotta figurines are inanimate objects, they are in various poses, depicting living people as if they might come to life at any moment.

More importantly, they were surrounded by sword intent, demonstrating a peerless sword technique.

"Is this the martial art you've been looking for?" You Ruo asked.

Of the seven people present, apart from Ying Xun, she had the best martial arts talent and the highest skill level, and she could tell at a glance that the terracotta figurine was demonstrating martial arts.

Ying Xun nodded: "That's right, the Wuqiu Yijue is an extremely powerful martial art. How much you can comprehend depends on your comprehension."

"If you can even utter the words 'extremely impressive,' then I'll have to take a closer look."

You Ruo straightened her expression and completely immersed herself in the terracotta figurine.

Ying Xun glanced at her but didn't say anything more. He only instructed Ao Tian and the four girls, "Remember, you five, don't force things. Just do your best."

"Yes, Master!"

It must be said that the Wuqiu Yijue is truly profound, capable of raising the upper limit of a martial art, especially the invincible state of Wuqiu, which is incredibly miraculous.

It's a pity that a certain state of mind is crucial for mastering this skill.

The more serene your mind is, the more you can understand.

If one can truly be free from desires and wants, then perhaps one can remain undefeated against any master.

Two hours later, everyone woke up.

Ying Xun gave them some pointers, and they stayed there for seven days before leaving the Loulan underground palace ruins.

……

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five years, the martial arts world was generally stable.

The World Society, which had previously changed hands three times and was in dire need of repair, has once again recovered and grown stronger.

Of course, it is far inferior to the World Society at its peak.

There are many reasons, but the most important one is that Tianmen seized a lot of the power that originally belonged to Tianxiahui.

That's right, Tianmen has moved from the shadows into the light.

This is why the current situation in the martial arts world has changed from a situation where Wushuang City and Tianxia Society once divided the world into two, to a three-way balance of power.

Among these three forces, the strongest is undoubtedly Wushuang City.

With the addition of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and the powerful figures from the Search God Palace, even though Wushuang City adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me" from beginning to end, its power grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Without needing to openly recruit, other forces would come to them willingly to pledge allegiance.

Today, Wushuang City has become a behemoth, even stronger than the Tianxia Hui at its peak, and even the imperial court dares not provoke it easily.

Following closely behind Wushuang City is the Tianxia Society. Compared to its past violent methods of conquest, the Tianxia Society now follows a path of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, somewhat similar to Wushuang City.

However, unlike the others, the World Society does not have any top-notch experts. Only Xiong Ba, who lives in seclusion behind the scenes, can be considered one. It is far less attractive than Wushuang City.

As for why Tianmen, once the most powerful force in the shadows, is not even as strong as Tianxiahui, there are many reasons.

The first one to be affected is that Di Shitian has never shown his face. Without top-notch combat power to support him, he naturally cannot make other forces submit.

Next, there's the way Tianmen expands its power, which is even more brutal and ruthless than the early Tianxiahui, often wiping out entire families.

This led many smaller factions to switch their allegiance to Wushuang City or Tianxia Society.

Finally, and this is also a very important point.

Tianmen's brutality angered many martial arts masters.

For example, Wu Wudi almost defeated Tianmen.

Besides him, other masters such as the First Evil Emperor, the Second Blade Emperor, and Nie Feng also caused trouble for Tianmen. Almost every time they were attacked, Tianmen suffered a major blow.

It is quite remarkable that Tianmen was able to develop into one of the three major powers in the world without Emperor Shitian ever showing his face.

Besides these three major forces, the most prominent force in the martial arts world is the Sword Worship Manor.

As many people know, Ying Xun asked Baijian Manor to forge a weapon.

Legend has it that it is a divine weapon even more powerful than the Peerless Sword. Once this divine weapon is forged, even a mortal will possess the power to dominate the world and rule over all living beings.

This aroused the curiosity and greed of many martial arts practitioners, and some self-proclaimed martial arts masters went to Baijian Villa to find out what was going on.

However, the Sword Worship Manor was like a huge whirlpool. No matter how many people broke in, no matter how skilled they were in lightness skills or martial arts, none of them ever came out.

Over time, Baijian Manor became a forbidden place, and no one dared to trespass.

In addition, it is also related to Aotian.

After Aotian became Ying Xun's disciple, his cultivation level rose rapidly. As a result, he couldn't suppress his impulse to become famous at a young age, so he bid farewell to Ying Xun a year ago and began to roam the martial world.

His reputation in the martial arts world is now no less than that of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. He is a well-known young swordsman in the martial arts world, which has greatly enhanced the reputation of Baijian Villa.

Of course, besides his disciple Aotian, the sisters Mingxin and Minghui, along with Xiaobianzi and the third Tong, also bid farewell to Ying Xun at the same time.

However, the four of them did not venture into the martial arts world.

Mingxin and Minghui returned to Wushuang City and are learning how to govern the area from Mingyue, Bai Suzhen, and others, one being a scholar and the other a warrior.

Little Braid returned to the Winner's Mansion in Anzhou City and stayed with Zhao Huaien and her grandfather, Mud Bodhisattva.

As for the third Tong, he went to Baijian Villa.

After all, her other master, the First Evil Emperor, was at the Sword Worship Manor. It was because the First Evil Emperor was stationed at the Sword Worship Manor that her grandfather, the Third Pig Emperor, and the Second Blade Emperor, would occasionally go to the Sword Worship Manor to visit the First Evil Emperor, reminisce, and spar.

Besides the changes in the martial arts world, significant changes have also occurred in the imperial court.

After the uproar caused by Jue Wushen, the emperor's control over the country had already weakened considerably, and now he hardly cares about anything anymore.

The majority of the power in the entire court is controlled by the winners of Anzhou.

Therefore, the winner of Anzhou became known as the local tyrant among the people.

However, their winner, this local tyrant, was very popular among the people.

Especially in Gyeonggi Province, it is no exaggeration to say that Winner King Win Xun is a living Buddha to all families.

It can be said that Ying Xun could ascend the throne and become emperor at any time, as long as he wished.

Ying Xun knew very well that these things were deliberately orchestrated by Zhao Huaien and his group, with the aim of getting him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

However, he has no interest in becoming emperor now.

The Qin Dynasty may reappear in the world, but it will definitely not be in his hands.

……

Tianxiahui, a small pavilion in the heart of the lake.

The birdsong in the early morning woke Ying Xun from his deep sleep. He sat up and stretched.

The brocade quilt slipped off, the autumn air grew colder, and the chill seeped into the quilt, startling the beauty beside her awake, eliciting a charming moan.

Ying Xun habitually hugged You Ruo beside him. After having three children, You Ruo's body became increasingly plump and voluptuous, and it felt very comfortable to touch and squeeze.

And men in the early morning, those who know, know, not to mention there's a beautiful woman lying next to them.

Before Ying Xun could make any further move, the door was suddenly opened with a bang, and You Ruo, who had been dazed, immediately woke up. She saw a little girl of about three or four years old wearing pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she walked in. The maidservant who was serving her couldn't come in, so she anxiously called out from outside for the little girl to come back.

Ying Xun had already dressed in his undergarments in the blink of an eye. The little girl, still half asleep, climbed onto the bed, snuggled into You Ruo's arms, and fell fast asleep again.

This is their daughter, Ying You.

With the little maid around, nothing could be done. After getting dressed and going out to wash up, I saw a child who looked similar to Ying You practicing martial arts meticulously in the courtyard.

This is their eldest son, Ying Yuan.

Not far from him lay a large dog, about the size of a calf, a Tibetan mastiff that Ying Xun and his companions had rescued during their travels.

Originally, it was about the same size as a regular Tibetan Mastiff, but Ying Xun fed it with spiritual fruits, and it grew bigger and bigger, becoming more and more majestic. Ying You, that little girl, liked to ride it around and show it off.

By the way, Ying Yuan and Ying You are twins, a boy and a girl, and they also have a younger brother, Ying Ze.

The little guy is only a little over a year old and is currently fast asleep in his cradle in the room.

"Father, you're getting up later and later, and you're becoming more and more lazy."

This little brat is trying to lecture his father?
Ying Xun chuckled: "Come on, let me practice with you."

"I don't want you as my sparring partner, you just want to beat me up."

"Do you think it's your turn to not want it?"

I felt much better after giving my son a good beating.

After accompanying his eldest son for morning exercise, Ying Xun was about to wake You Ruo up to wash and eat when he sensed a rapidly approaching presence.

In no time at all, the person was standing in front of the father and son.

"Father-in-law."

That's right, the person who came was none other than Xiong Ba.

"Hmph, you guys actually know how to come back. I thought you'd all died out there," Xiong Ba said with a displeased expression.

In fact, Ying Xun and the others had returned several times, but each time it was unfortunate that Xiong Ba was not at the World Alliance.

He either went to hunt down the leader in purple, or he went to the capital to visit his grandson and granddaughter.

Yes, Long Teng is now married and has a son and a daughter with the daughter of a county magistrate.

Perhaps because he has grandchildren, compared to five years ago, Xiong Ba's eyes have lost some of their intimidating domineering aura and gained more gentleness and kindness.

Seeing that his father-in-law was unhappy, Ying Xun quickly nudged his son.

Are you my maternal grandfather?

Ying Yuan's big eyes were full of longing. He was both familiar with and unfamiliar with his grandfather. His question made Xiong Ba laugh.

Xiong Ba squatted down, looked directly into his eldest grandson's eyes, and smiled, "That's right, I am your maternal grandfather."

What a tragedy! His own grandson doesn't even recognize his maternal grandfather.

"Grandpa, my name is Ying Yuan. We have come back four times but have not seen you. We are finally able to see you this time."

Xiong Ba picked up the little guy and said, "It's Grandpa's fault, it's Grandpa's fault."

It's hard to imagine that the ruthless and vicious Xiong Ba would ever admit his mistakes.

The power of grandparents' affection for their grandchildren is truly immense.

In Ying Xun's opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Xiong Ba to apologize to You Ruo or Long Teng with a kind expression.
