The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 379 A New World Begins!

The Star Absorbing Technique forcibly seizes the internal energy and cultivation of others; its mysterious and bizarre aspects are in no way inferior to the Sunflower Manual.

If Xu Xingchen were to teach the Star Absorbing Skill to Guo Jing, given Guo Jing's honest and kind nature, he would inevitably hesitate and be torn between two options.

I believe this is a harmful martial arts manual that should not be learned; in fact, it shouldn't even exist!
But Huang Rong wouldn't think that way. Her personality was like her father, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic—intelligent, cunning, and full of her own ideas.

His views on many things are quite different from those of ordinary people.

She was first awestruck by the miraculous power of the Star Absorbing Technique, and then overwhelmed with joy.

She never considered whether she should learn this martial art, let alone whether such a martial art should even exist in the world.
After reading through the entire Star Absorbing Technique manual, only one thought remained in her mind: "I will soon become a top-tier master!"

Huang Rong was happy for a long time because of this.

If it weren't for Xu Xingchen's desire to temper her free-spirited nature by temporarily preventing her from traveling the world with Guo Jing...

I'm afraid she's long been itching to find a wicked江湖人士 (jianghu figure, a person of the martial arts world) to test the miraculous effects of the Star Absorbing Technique.

Only after Huang Rong's joy and excitement gradually subsided did Xu Xingchen let them leave.

When the three met again, Xu Xingchen clearly felt that Huang Rong's aura had strengthened considerably, and she looked very happy.

Guo Jing looked hesitant, but eventually voiced his concerns.

Xu Xingchen said meaningfully, "There is no right or wrong in martial arts techniques; it is people who use them, and it is also people who kill!"

Although Guo Jing still had some thoughts, since his master had said so, he had no choice but to keep quiet.

In July, the world was in turmoil.

More and more martial arts practitioners began to head towards and converge on the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom.

It's like a repeat of the scene in Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty last year.
Tensions began to rise throughout the Great Jin Kingdom.

Teams of skilled fighters and elite troops were all transferred to the capital to guard against trouble caused by martial arts figures.

The fifteenth of August, a night of full moon.

In the imperial city of the Great Jin Kingdom, Xu Xingchen and his four companions reunited.

This time.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen did not participate in the battle; Qiu Qianren also did not appear; the experts of the Great Jin Kingdom were watching from all sides, but in the end no one dared to make a move.

Many martial arts masters took advantage of the chaos to rush to the top of the city wall and occupy advantageous positions for watching the battle.

The battle was extremely intense and fierce from the very beginning.

Having mastered the Nine Yin Manual, Ouyang Feng's martial arts skills have improved considerably compared to last year.

This great battle ultimately ended with the Jin Dynasty's capital city being razed to the ground and the five fighters "sharing the spoils".

This is destined to be another major event and uproar that will cause a great stir throughout the world.

After the battle.

Xu Xingchen immediately made another move, taking Wanyan Kang away from the Sixth Prince Wanyan Honglie, who was watching the battle from the city wall.

No one dared to stop them!
In a remote place in the mountains.

Xingchen used the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual to continuously cast it on Wanyan Kang for three days and three nights.

He completely erased all of Wanyan Kang's memories of his time in the Jin Dynasty's royal palace.

Then, they modified and reshaped a completely new memory for him.

In entirely new memories.
Yang Kang lived with his mother, Bao Xiruo.

Later, he met his biological father, Yang Tiexin, and the three of them lived happily together.

Wanyan Honglie became the culprit for separating the family of three since childhood.

Of course, that's a fact!
Deleting, modifying, or reshaping a person's memories is a huge undertaking.

This was the first time Xu Xingchen had done something like this.

During this period, a lot of effort was spent, and a lot of experience was gained.

When Xu Xingchen returned to Jiaxing with the new version of Yang Kang, he met Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo.

Yang Kang's incredibly affectionate "Father! Mother!" brought tears to their eyes and left them both utterly astonished.

After the family of three reunited, Xu Xingchen took some time to explain the situation to the couple and others, instructing them to be careful with their words when interacting with Yang Kang and not to reveal any true information.

Although this approach may leave some hidden dangers, it is the best way Xu Xingchen can think of to save Yang Kang.

Later, the Mongol army destroyed the Jin Dynasty and killed Wanyan Honglie.
Even if Yang Kang regains his memories, it doesn't matter.

Homeless, he had no choice but to obediently accept his new identity.

After finishing all these tasks, Xu Xingchen finally had some free time.

Not long after, the news of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's marriage finally arrived.

The wedding was held on Peach Blossom Island.

The number of people who can participate is extremely small.

But each of them was a renowned figure in the martial arts world.

Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, also came in person, bringing a valuable congratulatory gift.

Ouyang Ke followed behind his uncle, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, yet he was helpless.

No matter how powerful his uncle was, he couldn't beat Guo Jing's two masters.

What else can we do but not compromise?!
Three months after Guo Jing and Huang Rong got married.

Xu Xingchen began to feel uneasy, knowing that her time in this world was running out.

So he sent a message to Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, asking them to come and meet him.

Once they had all gathered, he used the excuse that he was about to embark on a long sea voyage to bid farewell to everyone.

The others were astonished and tried to dissuade her, but seeing Xu Xingchen's "my mind is made up, there's no need to say more" attitude, they could only wish her a smooth journey and a speedy return.

Before leaving, Xu Xingchen handed over his Dragon-Slaying Sword and the complete Nine Yang Divine Skill to Guo Jing.

He then secretly handed the complete Sunflower Manual to Huang Rong and gave her some instructions.

The gist of it is that Huang Rong should decide for herself whether or not to hand over the complete version of the Sunflower Manual to the old eunuch in the Song Dynasty palace.
He still wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for the Song Dynasty!
After explaining everything.

Xu Xingchen didn't delay and left Jiaxing on her own. She found a harbor, bought a small boat, and set sail.

Having lived through two or three different worlds, Xu Xingchen had long since become indifferent to parting, and left with great ease.

He sailed on the sea in a small boat for three days and three nights.

On the morning of the fourth day, the originally clear sky suddenly turned into a dark cloud cover, with thunder and lightning; then, a torrential downpour began.

The sea surface was churning with towering waves.

Each wave is higher and bigger than the last.

The small boat carrying Xu Xingchen was sometimes pushed to the crest of the wave, and sometimes sank to the bottom.

Faced with the overwhelming power of nature, Xu Xingchen's unparalleled martial arts skills seemed to become a joke.

He steered his small boat with all his might, braving the wind and waves on the sea, defying the might of nature.

The small boat was once again propelled high into the sky by the towering waves.

Click!

Under the pitch-black sky, a thunderous roar and lightning struck.

The small boat was completely destroyed.

With everything in front of her eyes a white blur and her ears ringing, Xu Xingchen was involuntarily lifted into the sky.

"Was this journey through time really that dangerous?"

"Could it be that God is seeing that I've changed too many things and wants to strike me dead with lightning?!"

Xu Xingchen thought helplessly to herself, letting her body fall freely from the sky.

Pfft!
With a splash, Xu Xingchen's body sank into the sea.

He held his breath, closed his eyes, and waited for his eyes and ears to return to normal before waving his arms and legs and swimming upwards.

Wow!

Xu Xingchen burst out of the water.

Suddenly, I realized that the world was crystal clear.

The previous dark clouds, lightning, and torrential rain seemed to be nothing more than an unexpected illusion.

He turned around and looked around, only to find himself in a lake.

The lake is very large, and the water is so clear that you can clearly see schools of fish swimming around.

far away
There are rolling green hills, creating a myriad of breathtaking views.

Nearby
There are towering cliffs and precipices that reach into the clouds.

Splash!

A magnificent waterfall cascades down the cliff face.

The water roared, like ten thousand horses galloping, as if the Milky Way were flowing down from the heavens.

On the bank below the cliff waterfall, lush green grass and verdant trees are interspersed with exquisite and strangely shaped rocks of all sizes.

The environment is tranquil and the scenery is beautiful.

It is an excellent place to live in seclusion.

Xu Xingchen swam from the lake to the shore, jumped up, and landed on the ground.

His body swayed involuntarily!

He frowned and muttered, "Which world have I transmigrated to this time? The rules of this world are even stricter than those in the Legend of the Condor Heroes world."

Just finished speaking.

He let out a muffled groan and immediately knelt on the ground.

That painful feeling of having just crossed into a new world returned.

After a while, the world was spinning.

His posture changed from kneeling to lying on his back on the ground.

He saw multiple hallucinations before his eyes, and the tinnitus in his ears grew increasingly severe.

Every bone, every muscle, every organ, every drop of blood, and even every cell in the body.
Intense yet orderly changes are taking place everywhere!

Xu Xingchen lay on the shore of the lake for half a day, one night, and another half a day.

All the changes in his body came to an abrupt halt when a cry of surprise rang out!

Xu Xingchen gently opened her eyes, slowly got up from the ground, moved her hands and feet, and felt the new changes in her body.

"Huh?! My physical strength has returned to normal, and I can no longer use the transformation form that allows me to break through to a higher realm."

"The internal energy hasn't changed much, but the spiritual energy within it seems to have increased somewhat."

As for martial arts.

Xu Xingchen suddenly raised his arm and threw a punch outwards.

Bang!
The air exploded, leaving a faint ring of light, but no internal force was manifested as it broke through the air.

Xu Xingchen threw a few more punches and palm strikes.

As a result, neither the Yuan Magnetic Ring, the several-foot-long red ribbon, nor the illusory green mountain or the ten-foot-long sword light could be manifested outside the body.

that feeling
It seems that he has locked all his power inside his body.

Xu Xingchen could clearly sense their presence, but he had no way to release them.

It's obvious.
The rules governing this world are quite different from those of the previous world.

"Sir, did you also fall from the mountain?"

A young man's voice pulled Xu Xingchen back to reality.
