Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 314 Spiral Ascent, Soaring Through the Sky!
(already edited)

Eight days after the massacre of the Evil Valley, in the Library Pavilion.

Duncan and Fu Jianhan sat side by side, one reading medical classics and the other sword manuals. The young man had a wide variety of tea and snacks beside him, and a beautiful woman was there to serve him. In contrast, Fu Jianhan sat quietly beside him, with only a bright red gourd hanging there, which he would occasionally pick up to take a sip of strong liquor.

If he grasped any subtlety, Fu Jianhan would seize the opportunity, leap into the courtyard, practice with his sword, and exclaim, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

This guy is definitely a martial arts fanatic.

"Brother Deng."

"How well have you comprehended that invisible sword energy? Using your fingers as a sword to unleash its brilliance truly amazes me."

Fu Jianhan had just grasped a bit of the technique of using both a knife and a sword, and could use a knife to perform sword moves. He sat on the windowsill, reached out and grabbed a pear, which fell into his palm. He slowly took a bite.

Dragon-Capturing Skill.

The young man was very generous. Seeing that Fu Jianhan was interested, he taught him without hesitation. The other party also had pure true qi and could retrieve objects from a distance, but not beyond a ten feet.

"Having just begun to understand, I have no clue what to do."

Upon hearing this, Duncan looked up and reached for his teacup, only to find it empty. Yin Meitang, who was standing nearby, refilled it and then respectfully withdrew.

He took a sip and sighed, "If it were a conventional method, it would be about the same power as a single sword strike."

"It's not very useful; it can only deal with ordinary people in the martial arts world."

"These medical classics are also very profound."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jianhan laughed and said, "Brother, if you want to become a grandmaster of martial arts, you probably have a lot of books to read."

He was so devoted to the sword that he didn't need to learn much else.

Upon his return today, Fu Jianhan saw that the young man's primordial yang energy was still burning brightly, and he knew that the young man was resolute and extraordinary, able to endure even this.

"I have a secret technique."

"It's called the Innate Pure Yang Sword Qi. Brother Deng, would you like to study it?"

However, metal and fire are incompatible.

“You can comprehend it, but you cannot cultivate it, otherwise it will damage your heart and lungs. If you cultivate the Primordial Qi in the future, or change the five elements of your internal energy, then you will be able to use it.” Fu Jianhan was a very carefree person.

Duncan also became interested and nodded, saying, "Tell me about it, I want to take a look at the luck-based methods."

The martial arts of this world are based on the Five Elements Returning to the Origin.

In other words, the five elements of the human body are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Martial arts in the Jianghu are actually a fusion of various schools of thought, and this is clearly biased towards the Yin-Yang school.

Different internal energy techniques operate through different meridians, and can change the five-element attributes of true qi without changing the internal force.

When the five elements are unified, they become a unified whole.

There are no taboos in using any technique.

Strictly speaking, the highest realm of martial arts is not breaking through the void, but becoming a Primordial Immortal, but no one can actually reach that level.

Chi You was far inferior.

Ordinary people usually cultivate a single element, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. After reaching a certain level, they pursue the extremes of yang and yin, at which point they are close to entering the Tao and attaining enlightenment.

Fu Jianhan didn't hold anything back; he taught the young man everything he knew, and imparted all his knowledge to him, including anything he was curious about.

It's just a type of innate pure Yang sword energy.

What could he possibly be reluctant to part with?

Duncan had absolutely no prejudice against any sectarian group. He would teach anyone around him who wanted to learn martial arts techniques, as long as he had the time. Even the maids around the Jade-Faced Lady wanted to learn the Dragon-Capturing Technique that he imitated, and he taught them everything he knew. Whether they could learn it or not depended on their own abilities.

The martial arts world has not developed for so many years and has lost many unique skills. It is only because of its own stagnation that it has been able to preserve its skills. Otherwise, this world should be a golden age of martial arts and immortal cultivation.

Perhaps someone will use force to prove their point.

The spiritual energy tide in this world is also declining, but martial arts can be cultivated to this level, and the ceiling is unknown how much higher it is than in the original world.

Duncan used the innate pure Yang sword energy to comprehend the method of circulating qi.

Fu Jianhan is right. You really can't mess with the Five Elements of True Qi. It's easy to go astray and become possessed by evil. If you want to master any cultivation method, you'll probably have to figure out how to unify the Five Elements and achieve a unified whole in the future.

"Son."

Before long, the Jade-Faced Lady walked over in a moon-white dress, her gaze toward Fu Jianhan revealing a hint of disdain.

This guy is always drunk and smells terrible, nothing like the young master, who is handsome and charming, and even the air around him is fresh.

The Jade-Faced Lady is a combination of being love-struck and having a physical attraction to him. Her eyes well up with tears whenever she sees a young man, and her eyebrows furrow when she sees Fu Jianhan.

The two had crossed paths quite a bit in the past, and the Jade-Faced Lady had shown mercy to him many times. But today, she was afraid that Fu Jianhan would lead the young man astray. This guy was practicing the Wine God's Curse, a peculiar secret technique that refined the alcohol into true energy and used alcohol to create fire. He was also practicing the Drunken Sleeping in the East Sea Technique, and he was almost turning into a big drunkard.

For Fu Jianhan, wine is an auxiliary elixir for cultivation; the stronger the better. He usually soaks poisons, medicinal herbs, and demon pills in wine. Everything can be soaked in wine.

He's practically turned into a drunken swordsman.

Fu Jianhan felt a headache coming on when he saw the Jade-Faced Lady, and quickly made his escape, saying, "I'll go first."

"Yesterday we encountered people from the Five Immortals Sect and they caught several of their large poisonous scorpions."

"Perfect for making medicinal liquor."

"Let's have a few drinks tonight."

This guy is incredibly audacious. He secretly caught the biggest and fattest scorpions that the Five Immortals Sect's Gu Masters used to cultivate the Five Poisons Technique, and used them to make wine. Now, the Five Immortals Sect is searching for him all over the world.

As soon as Fu Jianhan left, the Jade-Faced Lady's furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and her beautiful eyes rippled like spring water.

A woman's mood is truly as unpredictable as the weather in Wushan.

"Son."

"Today we will discuss the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine."

The Jade-Faced Lady sat down like a teacher, her fair wrists turning the pages of a classic text. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the handsome young man before her, and she exhaled softly, "You haven't learned how to seal acupoints and cut off meridians yet, have you?"

"This is the perfect opportunity to teach you the art of sealing the body's vital points and meridians."

Lu Shanjun is misleading young people.

What kind of nonsense are they teaching?!

He actually turned a gifted genius, who was skilled in both internal and external cultivation, into a mere martial arts practitioner.

Acupuncture?

This is something I need to learn.

The true master of this art is actually Miss Sun, but she is busy interrogating the Poisonous Scholar and researching the Heavenly Serpent Bone-Changing Technique, so the Jade-Faced Lady teaches him instead. Later, when it comes to medical classics, Miss Sun has to come herself.

After all, she was a descendant of Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine," and was among the most renowned physicians of her time.

Doctors in this world who practice acupuncture all cultivate internal energy.

The Jade-Faced Lady said softly, "The fatal weakness of a person lies in this diagram."

There is a song that goes: "When Baihui (GV20) falls to the ground, the coccyx will never return home; the sun and the mute gate will surely see Yama, the King of Hell."

"Young master is protected by a powerful aura."

"But when you encounter a master of internal martial arts, you must be very careful of these acupoints. They can break your qi and body, and even powerful auras may not be able to defend against them."

"As for sealing acupoints and cutting off meridians."

"The heart ventricles vibrate at the Tanzhong acupoint on the human body."

"Acupressure to immobilize the body."

"It mostly has a paralyzing effect; by sealing the meridians with true qi, one cannot move."

"However, the Taoist immobilization spell is slightly different, we'll talk about that later."

The Taoist immobilization spell is actually cast using divine refined magical power, while acupoint sealing is cast using refined qi.

Having a teacher makes all the difference.

Duncan learned very quickly, mastering it in less than half a day. Acupressure is not difficult in itself, but accuracy is. It requires close-range movement and body techniques, or it requires acupressure from a distance, which requires finger strength. Masters of this art must have profound finger skills.

The Jade-Faced Lady's finger techniques were very strong, especially the Thirty-Six Hands of Wushan, which were as pure and passionate as fire.

"This is a diagram of the meridians in the human body."

"To determine how to activate and break through the corresponding acupoints, simply follow the steps outlined in this diagram."

The Jade-Faced Lady was an excellent teacher. She taught him step by step along the meridian chart, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, your true energy is pure. Even if someone seals your acupoints, you can break through them with just a surge of true energy."

"Many acupoints are sealed, and the circulation route is as follows."

"The twelve regular meridians rush to the major acupoints, and the eight extraordinary meridians break through the meridians."

"All the extraordinary meridians outside the meridians are connected by Qi that rushes to the Ren and Du meridians, and the bridge between Heaven and

Duncan has a photographic memory, and when the Jade-Faced Lady finished teaching him, he found that his martial arts skill page had actually increased.

The Jade-Faced Lady couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master's talent is extraordinary!"

"It is rare for me to be a concubine in my life."

The thought that someone could learn how to seal, intercept, pulse, and release acupoints in a single day would be as impactful to the Jade-Faced Lady as seeing Zhang Wuji suddenly learn the Great Shift of the Universe.

really.

I can still become stronger through hard work.

Duncan was overjoyed. He glanced at the sky, took out the Hehuan Secret Manual, spread it out in front of him, and pointed to it, saying, "Why does this technique feel incomplete?"

"It's all technique, but no fundamental principle?"

The Jade-Faced Lady glanced at it, her pretty face slightly flushed, her chest heaving, and said softly, "The methods of the Yin-Yang Great Dao are all in the secret scriptures of the Yin-Yang Sect."

"The Secret Method of Hehuan is a technique of sexual enhancement."

"Most of them are born with congenital deficiencies and are used for cultivation. Young Master, you don't need to use them. You can just refer to some techniques at will."

This contains the secret techniques of Sun En's disciples and their descendants.

Those who are born with deficiencies can make up for them through acquired means.

Unlike the Supreme Yoga practice in the Great Wisdom and Love Sutra, the Secret Canon of Harmony is a sexual technique that involves contracting the anus and circulating Qi, using the breath "blowing" (pronouncing the sound of "blowing"), focusing the mind on the lower abdomen, visualizing the Qi circling around the two kidneys like a jade belt, and circulating the Qi. It is best to combine this with standing meditation to create a cycle between the two kidneys, allowing the kidney water to ripple and activating the kidneys.

There is also a secret method of tapping the teeth with the ears and eyes to supplement the foundation and strengthen the acquired kidney qi, but it doesn't have to be that complicated to get started.

It's somewhat similar to the methods used by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, whose health preservation techniques all focus on replenishing kidney essence.

Judging from the beginning alone, this technique is definitely orthodox in Taoism.

To put it simply, while other internal energy cultivation methods operate through various meridians in the body, this secret method focuses on the reproductive system, using all the true energy to strengthen the kidneys and promote hormone secretion.

However, this concept doesn't exist in this world; it's a technique for replenishing one's innate constitution.

Liu Chang was fond of beautiful women and sought aphrodisiacs, eventually finding them at the Hehuan Sect.

However, he neglected his martial arts training, so merchants often offered him medicine, which he even tested on palace maids and summoned ministers to observe.

understood.

All you need to learn about these techniques is a few skills. As long as your physical fitness is strong enough, you won't need the secret methods mentioned above.

The Secret Manual of Hehuan emphasizes true Yin; those who are congenitally deficient will find it difficult to achieve success.

Only when desire is exhausted can one enter a state of clarity within desire; otherwise, one remains stuck in a state of limbo, with desire burning intensely like drinking poison to quench thirst.

This is like having unfinished business, which can harm your health. If you finish enjoying yourself, you will only feel a slight languor and weariness, and a bit of clarity after the satisfaction of many desires, and your thoughts will be very clear.

The human desire to reproduce is something that accompanies mortals throughout their lives. Eastern cultures emphasize guiding and releasing this desire, but it should not be indulged.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic says that sex is a tonic for people, but people indulge in excessive sexual activity and turn this tonic into a poison.

According to the Secret Manual of Union, only those who have cultivated to this stage are qualified to absorb yin to replenish yang, but this path ultimately takes a shortcut and cannot be considered a true method of the Yin-Yang Way.

After all, the minor principles of Yin and Yang concerning men and women cannot encompass the major principles of Yin and Yang in the universe. The Yin-Yang Secret Manual draws upon the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

As for the secret techniques of female cultivators, just take a look; there's no need to learn them.

"correct."

As if remembering something, the Jade-Faced Lady said softly, "That person has been found, and has been settled outside."

Huh?
Upon hearing this, Duncan stood up curiously and said, "Let's go take a look."

Not long after.

He then saw Yun Zhike waiting outside. Upon seeing the young man, Yun Zhike immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, young hero!"

Duncan already knew his background and asked curiously, "Are you the All-Knowing Scholar?"

Yun Zhike shook his head and said, "That is the Pavilion Master."

"Young hero, you may not know this, but my sect is descended from all walks of life. Whoever is the sect leader is the all-knowing scholar."

No wonder.

Duncan nodded and asked, "Why have you been looking for me everywhere?"

After considering it carefully, Yun Zhike said cautiously, "When I met you that day, my martial arts actually made some progress."

"I then wished to serve by the young hero's side."

The truth.

Because this person has been marked in green.

Duncan thought for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and nodded, saying, "Alright. There's something I need you to do."

"go."

"Bring me the copied martial arts manual."

Soon, a pretty maid brought over a thick box of martial arts manuals.

Duncan generously said, "Take a look, if you like any of them, take them and practice with them."

hiss!
Yun Zhike only glanced at it before he couldn't help but gasp. There were hundreds of martial arts manuals inside, including many superior techniques, which were just casually taken out.

This guy is so scary.

Duncan continued to explain some things, and Yun Zhike became more and more frightened as he listened, feeling as if he was doing something terrible that might throw the whole world into chaos.

"correct."

"There's also a secret manual here, which I just created yesterday. Let's call it the Five Meridians Divine Sword."

"You should also spread the word."

He only mastered five fingers, but that's enough. There haven't been any new martial arts techniques in the martial arts world for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to add some fresh blood.

He started first to see if anyone followed.

Yun Zhike was already a bit dumbfounded.

He didn't even know if he should have come. This young master really made the most of everything, using people without any courtesy, not even afraid that he would run away with these martial arts manuals.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Duncan said calmly, "There's plenty more inside."

"If you like it."

"Come back and get some more next time."

The maids trained by the Jade-Faced Lady were all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They could copy as much as they wanted, or even use printing technology if necessary.

They copied books for several days, and even their martial arts skills improved.

Yun Zhike shouldered his bag, a large box of martial arts manuals, and felt lost and uncertain about the future. He felt as if he had been on a pirate ship, having jumped on himself.

Oooh!
If people find out, the number of people chasing him will probably increase several times over.

"correct."

As if remembering something, Yun Zhike turned his head and said seriously, "There is an important matter that I forgot to tell you, young master."

"Chai Rong is dead!"

Ok?
Duncan vaguely recognized the name, and upon reflection, something came to mind.

Chenqiao Mutiny!

He was adorned in a yellow robe!

Zhao Kuangyin was about to become emperor, and the Song Dynasty was about to appear on the historical stage.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it was not surprising that military generals rose to power. After all, Guo Wei became emperor through a military coup. Later generations know about the Chenqiao Mutiny, but they do not know that Guo Wei launched a mutiny in Chanzhou, donned the yellow robe, and established the Later Zhou regime.

These days, even emperors are just like that.

Guo Wei's entire family was wiped out, ultimately benefiting his adopted son Chai Rong, who also died suddenly, thus paving the way for Zhao Kuangyin.

Duncan nodded calmly and said, "Understood."

"Go and get down to business."

Hey.

National affairs are minor matters; there's no need to worry about them too much.

Becoming emperor was a piece of cake for him; he was already tired of it. He'd rather study martial arts in this world and, when he was in a bad mood, deal with some minor state affairs.

With his military and martial arts skills, if he really wanted to conquer the world, who could stop him?
But once you become emperor, you have to manage the world, so where would you find the energy to study martial arts and read so many classics?

Besides, once you become emperor, do you still want the harem? Do you go there regularly?

Tired.

Someone pulled up his belt, exuding confidence, and casually remarked, "Nothing special."

Duncan casually dismissed Yun Zhike and went with the Jade-Faced Lady to study the methods of the Free and Easy Wandering Technique. She still couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the 'Refining the Heart in the Mortal World' technique, but the Jade-Faced Lady had already figured out some of the secrets of the Kunpeng Transformation of the Free and Easy Wandering Technique.

The beautiful woman gathered her true energy at the Yongquan point on the sole of her foot, and the energy flowed like waves soaring through the air, making her look like a fairy dancing on water.

This is the Kunpeng Transformation Technique she comprehended. Its essence lies in its subtlety, like water transforming into all things. It can also enhance the control of qi. When soaring through the air, it can use the true qi waves like water to resist attacks such as the splitting palm, and even use the force to take off.

The secret is roughly equivalent to punching the surface of water.

But when Duncan tried to imitate it, the flavor changed.

The true energy gathered beneath his feet shot out like a vortex, and the baleful aura also surged, like a cascading waterfall. The so-called Kunpeng Transformation is actually an explosive speed-up technique, but while others cross the air in mid-air, he is like a cannon shot into the sky.

Spiraling upwards!

Duncan's figure was like a cannonball shooting into the sky, his domineering true energy surging out like a vortex turbine. The Jade-Faced Lady was completely dumbfounded. When she looked up, the boy had already flown hundreds of meters into the air. It was as if he had ascended to heaven on the spot, going straight up and down, like a cannonball that had been fired.

"Young master! Be careful!"

The Jade-Faced Lady exerted all her strength to use her movement techniques, her figure ethereal and graceful as she spiraled upwards. She used the Ling Liu Xu Steps to catch the landing boy, and then landed lightly like a leaf.

What kind of weird training method is this?

How did "逍遥游" (a leisurely stroll) turn into "冲天炮" (a cannonball)?

Although the Kunpeng can strike the water three thousand feet high, it's not in this way, is it?

As soon as Duncan unleashed his true energy, his murderous aura ignited, and like a rocket propelled by spiraling energy, he shot up to a height of over a hundred meters, roughly equivalent to a twenty-story building.

The pure and impure energies collided violently.

True Qi is pure Qi, while malevolent Qi is turbid Qi.

Xuanmen (mystical) martial arts primarily cultivate pure qi, while demonic arts mostly cultivate turbid qi. Those evil martial arts use unconventional paths to circulate qi through the meridians, and the places of cultivation are also extremely strange. Some require mass graves, some require the use of poisons, and some require severing emotions and desires, etc.

"This isn't right!"

"Why does the Jade-Faced Lady look so ethereal when she uses it?"

"I'll use it?"

"Just like firing a cannon in the human world?"

The boy looked completely bewildered, shook his head, rubbed himself against the breasts, and thought to himself, "It's definitely not my problem. It's a problem with my internal energy."

Vajra True Qi is rigid and lacks flexibility.

When Lu Shanjun uses his lightness skill, he goes straight and without turning, directly knocking away anything that gets in his way.

But there's no one like him.

Could it be because Lu Shanjun's malevolent aura wasn't pure enough? Not righteous enough?

"wrong!"

"Flying vertically won't work, but what about flying horizontally?" the boy wondered, his mind racing.

There are always more ways than difficulties.

When he takes a normal breath, it's like a cannon shot into the sky, but what if he flies horizontally?

Then who can compare to him?
Like a cyclone rocket, it's just that the posture isn't very elegant, but that doesn't matter. As long as he flies high and fast enough, it will look to others like the flying technique from Dragon Ball, since they all fly horizontally.

If mastered, this would absolutely crush the Daoist Wind Control Talisman.

But most people can't do it this way.

The Kunpeng Transformation of Xiaoyao You is extremely energy-consuming, and he also used the method that the Jade-Faced Lady comprehended. His own Kunpeng Transformation would require him to comprehend it anew.

—The Kunpeng strikes the water for three thousand miles, soaring straight up to the ninth heaven.

The two men had completely different understandings of the Kunpeng Transformation!

The same cultivation method based on Zhuangzi's core ideas, such as the Jade-Faced Lady's worldly refinement of the mind, was not of much value to him; it could only be used as a reference.

But Duncan was undoubtedly more interested in the Kunpeng Transformation than in the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Flying Sword Technique.

Sword energy, huh?

It's not uncommon in the martial arts world; the sword energy of the Huashan Sect is quite famous, but it's not the same as the one in Jin Yong's novels. Instead, it has some connection with the patriarch Chen Tuan.

Chen Tuan, also known as Fuyaozi and Xiyi Xiansheng.

The person who discussed Taoism with Lü Dongbin was bestowed titles by Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, and others.

This lineage possesses secret techniques and exquisite methods of circulating internal energy, enabling them to unleash sword energy from a distance.

The Huashan Sect is terrifyingly strong in this world. They specialize in cultivating immortality and don't care about things like the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Their weakness is that they have few people and disciples and rarely appear in the world.

The masters of the six branches of the Demonic Sect had to behave themselves when they arrived near Mount Hua.

The patriarch Chen Tuan is still alive today.

However, he was virtually impossible for people in the martial arts world to find. He was considered a legendary figure of his time, and was regarded as a terrestrial immortal.

His "Wuji Diagram" and "Xiantian Diagram" are very famous. Among them, the Wuji Diagram is the secret method of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Returning to the Origin.

Lu Shanjun plans to challenge him in the future.

But not now. If I go now, I'll probably get beaten to a pulp.

"It seems we need to include the art of levitation in our research."

Soaring through the clouds and mist, it feels somewhat ethereal and unreal.

Duncan has seen many secret spells and incantations, but they still fall within the scope of conventional Taoist magic and witchcraft. However, the Jade-Faced Lady's finger strike from a distance gave him a lot of inspiration.
