The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 495 The Real Child Granny is Very Irritable
With rosy lips and white teeth, delicate skin, and two large, watery eyes that held no childlike innocence but rather an unfathomable depths.

The plum blossom mark between his eyebrows was bright red, very eye-catching.

The flowing white hair draped over her shoulders, glistening like snow and frost, added a touch of eeriness to the five- or six-year-old girl.

Xu Xingchen could not see any trace of Wu Xingyun in the white-haired girl. Even his aura was completely contained and not leaked out in the slightest.

But he was certain that the white-haired girl in front of him was Wu Xingyun, because apart from the real Tianshan Child Granny, when would such a strangely shaped girl suddenly appear in this manor?

Xu Xingchen stepped forward, bowed, and tentatively asked, "Tianshan Child Granny?"

The white-haired girl replied in a child's voice, "That's right, it's me."

Xu Xingchen was both amazed and surprised: "Senior's time to reverse aging has arrived?"

Xiao Wu Xingyun snorted lightly: "I usually look like this. I only turn into yesterday's form when I'm fighting with someone."

Xu Xingchen asked in confusion, "Isn't it rumored that you need to rejuvenate every now and then?"

Xiao Wuxingyun rolled her eyes at Xu Xingchen, then turned and walked towards Wuyazi's house, her voice carrying over at the same time: "Those rumors were all deliberately spread by me."

"I also had someone say that during the period when I was rejuvenated, my body would become extremely weak, and I would need to drink animal blood every day to gradually recover."

"Each day that passes is equivalent to a year, and your skill will increase day by day."

"I am ninety-six years old this year, so it will take me ninety-six days to recover my full strength."

"Senior's actions are cautious; I admire them greatly," Xu Xingchen sincerely praised, thinking to himself, "I never imagined that this world would eliminate all of Tianshan Child Granny's weaknesses."

"The storyline in the book turned out to be a rumor she deliberately spread."

"Could it be that she intentionally lured Li Qiushui here to seek revenge?"

Pushing open the door, I entered the room and went into the bedroom.

Sitting on the bed, Wu Yazi nodded slightly to the two of them and said, "You've come!"

Xiao Wuxingyun didn't say anything. He found a chair, turned around, and jumped up to sit down.

"We're here, senior!" Xu Xingchen responded politely, and as usual, found a chair and sat down.

"You two, stop wasting your breath and hurry up and figure out a way to heal your injuries," Xiao Wuxingyun glanced at Wuyazi, then turned to Xu Xingchen: "You want to find a way to heal my junior brother from the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique that I cultivate?"

Xu Xingchen was surprised by Wu Xingyun's directness and nodded in agreement after a moment of astonishment, "That's right! That's exactly what I was thinking."

Xiao Wuxingyun coldly said, "I estimate you've wasted your time on this matter."

"Let me tell you the truth, kid, the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique that I cultivate originally did not have the effect of reversing aging."

"However, when I was twenty-six years old, just as I was about to reach the pinnacle of my cultivation, that despicable bitch startled me from behind, causing my cultivation technique to go astray and resulting in my body becoming so small."

"This world actually altered the reason why the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny regained her youth?" Xu Xingchen was surprised, but his face showed a look of sudden realization. He said, "Senior's blessings are so profound. I am truly envious."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Xiao Wuxingyun seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and flew into a rage, shouting, "What's there to envy? Showing yourself as a child every day makes me feel extremely ashamed."

"If it weren't for that bitch's fright, as long as I cultivate my Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique to its peak, I could keep my appearance at the most beautiful age of twenty-six."

"It's all that bitch's fault. It's all that bitch's fault."

At this moment, Xiao Wuxingyun was no longer the aloof, cold, and domineering person he was yesterday; he had become easily angered, irritable, and liked to curse.

Wu Yazi was clearly very familiar with this feud, but after all, he had been in love with Li Qiushui for a period of time and had a daughter with her, so there was some affection between them.

Hearing his senior sister insult his former wife like that, he said helplessly, "So many years have passed, senior sister, are you still unable to let go of this?"

"How can this matter be left unresolved?" Xiao Wuxingyun slammed her hand on the table beside her, her small body leaping up onto the chair. Pointing at Wuyazi, she shouted, "I'll remember this for the rest of my life, and I'll never get over it!"

"If I hadn't suddenly turned into this child-like form back then, how could that despicable bitch have stolen you away?"

"You lived a carefree and happy life for many years at the bottom of the Sword Lake Palace in Wuliang Mountain."

When Wu Yazi met his senior sister yesterday, he thought she would still be as cold, arrogant, and domineering as before. He never expected that after turning back into a child, she would become so irritable. Not only did she reveal her feelings of love for him back then without reservation, but she also scolded him.

For a moment, I didn't know how to react.

Xu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wuxingyun, who was speaking out all her grievances and thoughts like a child. She was surprised, but also felt a kind of excitement, like watching a melon.

As expected? As expected!
My approach was indeed correct.

Arranging for these two people to meet made things quite interesting.

Not to mention Xu Xingchen gloating over the gossip.
Standing on the chair, Xiao Wuxingyun finished cursing Li Qiushui and then started cursing Wuyazi.

"You haven't come to see your senior sister in Tianshan for so many years, and there's been no news of you in the martial world; I thought you had died somewhere long ago."

"You were betrayed by your own wicked disciple, yet you refuse to come to me. Do you really consider me your senior sister? Do you really consider me a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect?"

"If it weren't for this kid who appeared out of nowhere and barely kept you alive, would I have ever had the chance to see you again in this lifetime?"

Caught up in her rant, Xiao Wu Xingyun started blurting out other things: "Junior brother, do you know where that bitch is now? She betrayed you, married the emperor of Western Xia, and became the Empress Dowager."

"Junior brother, you didn't expect that, did you? That bitch is such a promiscuous person, hahaha!"

During his time at Dayu Manor, Wu Yazi learned from Xu Xingchen where his junior sister had gone, as well as where his daughter and granddaughter lived.

Even if there was some bitterness or turmoil in my heart, it has already subsided.

Hearing these things again from his senior sister, Wu Yazi shook his head helplessly and did not interrupt her venting.

Standing on the chair, Xiao Wu Xingyun vented her anger to the fullest, releasing all the pent-up frustration she had accumulated over the years. Satisfied, she sat back down cross-legged, her expression returning to its previous coldness and arrogance. She turned to Xu Xingchen, a smirk playing on her lips: "Kid, you should know which things you can tell others about today, and which you can't, right?!"

Xu Xingchen grinned, his eyes blank, and said, "Huh? Ah! What did you just say, senior? I didn't hear a thing."

Xiao Wuxingyun snorted coldly: "He's quite the guy who knows how to play dumb!"

Xu Xingchen pretended not to hear this and said seriously to Xiao Wuxingyun, "Senior, Senior Wuyazi's injuries are urgent. I wonder if you could explain the secrets of 'rejuvenation' so that we can find a way to improve Senior Wuyazi's injuries."

Little Wu Xingyun frowned, waved her little hand, and said, "You keep calling me 'senior,' which is making me a little dizzy. Just call me Granny Tong."

“Alright, Granny Tong.” Xu Xingchen readily agreed and asked again, “I wonder if Granny Tong would be so kind as to ask?”

Xiao Wuxingyun shook his head and said, "I've studied it for so many years, but I still only have a vague understanding of the secrets of rejuvenation; right now, all I can do is restore my body to the appearance of a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old when I actually do it."

"Therefore, I'm afraid that telling you won't be of much help to my junior brother's injuries."

"Moreover, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique is one of the supreme martial arts of my Free and Unfettered Sect."

"You greedy brat, you managed to learn the Northern Darkness Divine Art, which only the sect leader of my Free and Unfettered Sect can learn, and now you want to covet my techniques. Are you planning to get the Lesser Formless Art from that bitch in the future?"

Xu Xingchen was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Grandma Tong, I have already learned the Lesser Formless Skill, so there is no need to go to Senior Li again."

"What? You actually learned the Lesser Formless Skill?" Xiao Wuxingyun glared at Xu Xingchen, then seemed to understand something. He turned to look at Wuyazi on the bed and said angrily, "Junior brother, did you teach this kid the Lesser Formless Skill? This kid is an outsider, yet he has mastered two of the three great skills of our Xiaoyao Sect. How outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Wu Yazi knew that Xu Xingchen had learned the Lesser Formless Skill from his own daughter.

Ultimately, he has to take the blame for this himself.

He glanced at Xu Xingchen with a wry smile and interrupted his senior sister's grumbling: "Senior sister, this is a long story."

Xiao Wuxingyun said angrily, "Then let's get to the point."

Wu Yazi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's get straight to the point; Master Xu has indeed learned the Northern Darkness Divine Skill and the Lesser Formless Skill from the Free and Unfettered Sect."

"..." Xiao Wuxingyun waited for a long time, and seeing that Wuyazi stopped talking, she stared with her two round eyes and said incredulously, "That's it? And then what? You just let this kid live in this world?"

Wu Yazi calmly replied, "Cultivation techniques always need to be passed down, so why be so protective of them?"

"You're quite generous," Xiao Wuxingyun sneered repeatedly. "If Master knew what you were doing now, he might just flip the coffin lid off, jump out of it, and kill you, you unfilial disciple."

At this moment, Xu Xingchen spoke up: "I also strongly agree with Senior Wuyazi's statement. It's better for someone to inherit the cultivation technique than for it to be lost."

Xiao Wuxingyun turned and glared at Xu Xingchen, shouting, "Shut up, you brat, you're acting innocent after getting the benefit. Do you really think this Venerable Master can't kill you?"

Xiao Wuxingyun was clearly furious, and for the first time used the words "this one" when he spoke.

"Grandma Tong, there's no need to be angry!" Xu Xingchen soothed, "Since I've learned your Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts, I naturally feel indebted to you for this kindness."

"Therefore, this junior thought of healing Senior Wuyazi's injuries as a way of repaying him."

Xiao Wu Xingyun sneered, "And then? Wait for me to come, and then try to get the last divine skill of my Xiaoyao Sect from me?"

"This divine skill is related to the secret of the Child Granny's 'rejuvenation,' and I, the junior, must obtain it."

Seeing that Xiao Wu Xingyun's eyes were flashing with a sharp light, and his little face was filled with murderous intent, as if he was about to start cursing again, Xu Xingchen quickly said, "However, relying solely on Tong Lao's Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique, I'm afraid it's not enough to heal Senior Wu Yazi's injuries; I have two other divine skills here that should be of some help to Senior Wu Yazi's injuries."

"When the time comes, if we can master these several divine skills, perhaps we can heal Senior Wuyazi's injuries."

"Very well." Xiao Wu Xingyun waved her small hand in the air and said loudly, "Since you put it that way, then first show us a divine skill so that we can hear it and see if it can compare to the divine skill of our Xiaoyao Sect."

Wu Yazi also turned his head to look, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Clearly, he was unaware that Xu Xingchen had this plan.

Xu Xingchen cupped his hands towards Wuyazi and said, "Senior Wuyazi, if it weren't for waiting for Tonglao to arrive, I would have already revealed those two divine skills. Now is the perfect time for you and Tonglao to listen together and see if my divine skill can be of any help to you."

Wu Yazi's eyes lit up: "Could it be the divine skill that includes the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter?"

“Exactly.” Xu Xingchen stopped wasting words and explained the contents of the Nine Yin Manual one by one.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage. This is why the virtual overcomes the reality, and the deficiency overcomes the excess."

"Its meaning is profound, its principles are abstruse, and its interest is deep. It distinguishes the phenomena of heaven and earth, arranges the signs of yin and yang, reveals the causes of change, and manifests the omens of life and death. Without prior planning, the traces are naturally the same."

He started directly from the general outline of the Nine Yin Manual.

Wu Yazi, who was full of excitement, and Xiao Wuxingyun, who was full of contempt and sneer, were both shocked when they heard the first few lines of the scripture. Their expressions became solemn and they immediately became focused.

They were all top-tier masters who had cultivated their martial arts to the highest level, and what they had learned was the supreme divine skill of Taoism.

Hearing the Nine Yin Manual, which is in line with the Taoist classics, is like hearing the most wonderful scripture in the world. I feel that every word is mysterious and every sentence is profound, and I have gained a lot of insights.

Sparks of wisdom crackled and flickered in my mind, and all sorts of insights and profound understandings kept emerging from the depths of my heart.

That feeling was like rain after a long drought, incredibly pleasant.

For example, the sound of a great bell is deafening.

As Xu Xingchen continued to narrate, Wu Yazi and Xiao Wuxingyun both closed their eyes, immersing themselves in the mysteries of the Nine Yin Manual.

The Nine Yin Manual is a martial arts masterpiece that spans the worlds of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Its techniques are not only profound and mysterious, containing many profound Taoist sayings, but also all-encompassing, containing all kinds of magical martial arts.

Even in today's world of Tianlong, it would be considered the number one divine skill in the world.
