Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 307 The time has not come yet
Last time, when Wuyinghou, Batianmo, and Sun Yanwan were discussing martial arts, Shi Si was by Sun Yanwan's side. This time, it was Yang Diao'er and Sun Lingdie. Wuyinghou and Batianmo paid no attention to Sun Lingdie, but they were very concerned about Yang Diao'er.

Ba Tianmo cut to the chase and asked, "Miss Yang Diao'er, I've heard that the Demonic Cult's King Jie Ri has mastered the supernatural staff technique of the former dynasty's foremost martial arts family. You also come from the Demonic Cult, could you tell me how the Demonic Cult obtained this staff technique?"

Yang Diao'er said calmly, "I have never met or heard of this King Harsha, and I know nothing about the origin of his martial arts."

"You should know that I spent my childhood in Nanxia, ​​under the care of Master Xuanming, so I really cannot tell you about this matter."

Ba Tianmo felt a deep sense of regret, and then turned to Sun Yanwan and asked, "How did you feel fighting King Harsha? How is his supernatural staff technique different from what we've figured out?"

Sun Yanwan chuckled and said, "There's not much difference, except that the transitions between the staff techniques are smoother than the staff techniques we created."

After pondering for a long time, Ba Tianmo said, "It would be great if I could fight him."

Sun Yanwan said calmly, "There will definitely be an opportunity."

The concept of the Divine Staff Technique was so ingenious that although Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou were able to deduce most of the staff technique based on their knowledge and decades of profound skill, and could also come up with various mental techniques, they were unable to deduce the whole picture. Therefore, the staff technique that the three of them deduced at the beginning only had its form.

In a fair comparison, it's comparable to the Southern Beggars' Clan's Dragon Staff Technique, much like the authentic Sunflower Manual and Lin Zhennan's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique from the Lin family—their foundations are completely different.

Sun Yanwan suddenly realized the key point: the Divine Staff Technique is purely an external staff technique. One must start by cultivating the twenty-four meridians. Only when all twenty-four meridians are fully developed and one generates and cultivates external true qi from the inside out can one be considered to have truly entered the Divine Staff Technique. As for each staff technique being paired with a mental cultivation method, that is a trivial matter.

Sun Yanwan would only keep this staff technique as a family heirloom and would never share it with Wuying Hou or Ba Tianmo.

Sun Yanwan's current skills have been divided into the martial arts of the Songyang School, the martial arts of the Taiyi Temple, the martial arts of the Sun family, and the martial arts of the Tianma Gang.

The martial arts of the Songyang Sect and the Taiyi Temple overlapped almost entirely, but there were some techniques that Sun Yanwan would not bring back to the Songyang Sect. This was also with Zhang Yuanqiao's tacit approval, since he would definitely inherit the Taiyi Temple in the future and would need some unique methods.

However, there are some martial arts that Sun Yanwan will not pass down in Taiyi Temple, such as Yang Diao'er's Heavenly Demon Skill, Xuanming Yin Sha Skill, Shi Si's Shao Chan Temple martial arts, the Battle Buddha Manual obtained from Longzang Temple, and the Divine Staff Technique, etc. This division is still vague now, but in any case, whether it is taking over Taiyi Temple or establishing the foundation of the Sun family, it is still a very long time, and Sun Yanwan can slowly divide and arrange them.

Ba Tianmo was unable to get the information about the supernatural staff technique out of him, and although it was a pity, he had to give up. He suggested that the three of them sit quietly and sense the Golden Light Cave together. Although Sun Yanwan did not want to go in, he was quite curious, so he asked Yang Diao'er to protect him while he, Ba Tianmo, and Wuying Hou sat quietly and each circulated their profound skills.

Sun Yanwan had never actually tried this before. Although he knew that opening the Golden Light Cave required the Three Wood Hidden Meridians, and that the Taiyi Azure Spirit Pill and the Taiyi Azure Spirit Fan would be the most effective, he still tried them. As expected, he gained nothing from the other techniques and finally reluctantly switched to the Taiyi Azure Spirit True Qi.

A wisp of Taiyi Azure Spirit True Qi emerged from the three hidden meridians of withered, flourishing, and sprouting. The true qi transformed into Taiyi Azure Spirit. Sun Yanwan vaguely sensed a spiritual insight, as if something from the Elder Taishi she had killed not long ago had not yet dissipated.

He had never sensed anything like this before, and was slightly surprised. Thinking of the Supreme Relic, he wondered to himself, "I also sensed something like this in Northern Yan. That white-robed monk... Although this world has martial arts, does it also have spirits?"

Having pushed her inner energy to its limit, Sun Yanwan suddenly felt a jolt in her mind. She vaguely sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from the direction of Yanchi Lake. Sun Yanwan found this incredibly mysterious. Following this sensation, her spirit drifted, and she seemed to vaguely see a Taoist temple embedded in a stone wall. However, this temple was not on an ordinary mountain wall, but rather a mountain submerged at the bottom of a lake.

Sun Yanwan was experiencing this mysterious and wondrous feeling when he was suddenly drawn to something. On a broken wall of the Taoist temple, he "saw" a human head. The head was dry and decayed, but it seemed to "see" him at the same time, its eyes suddenly opening, radiating a sharp light, faintly containing boundless demonic intent...

Sun Yanwan was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly opened her eyes and saw that Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou were still meditating.

He pondered for a long time and decided to keep the matter to himself for now.

He didn't know if he had really seen something strange or if he was hallucinating. How could that head not have decomposed underwater, and how could it still be alive without a body?

Of course, Sun Yanwan also knew that this was not necessarily true; it was more likely an illusion, but this illusion was just too real.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a long time, only to see that Ba Tianmo and Wuying Hou had both opened their eyes. They both shook their heads and said, "We can only sense that the Golden Light Cave is near Yanchi Lake, but we can't pinpoint its location."

They all looked at Sun Yanwan. Sun Yanwan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "So what I can sense, they can't sense." He chuckled and said, "I'm only at the Innate Realm. If you two Grandmasters can't sense it, how can I gain anything? Besides, I'm not proficient in spiritual arts. My main cultivation method is swordsmanship."

Wuyinghou nodded. Sun Yanwan had advanced to the Innate Realm and created the saying, "He who can be most passionate can be most skilled in the sword! Only by being most skilled in the sword can one achieve a clear understanding of the sword heart!" He had witnessed it firsthand, just as Sun Yanwan said, "Only the intent of the sword will not lie!" He was indeed not good at spiritual arts.

Ba Tianmo naturally had no doubts, as he also knew that Sun Yanwan's martial arts foundation was indeed genuine sword intent.

Both of them sighed and said, "It seems the time is not yet right."

Wuyinghou said, "I came to the mainland in a hurry and did not bring any people with me, so I will stay at your Taoist temple for the time being."

Ba Tianmo also said, "This place is very good. I will stay here for a while and will not have to go out to find a hiding place again."

Sun Yanwan remembered that Duanmu Xianling and Lu Chaoxiu had also come to borrow the place, and thought to herself, "This Taoist temple I borrowed on short notice is really quite lively."

Xu Kaitian was on his pleasure boat, painting the eyebrows of his newly acquired concubine. He originally had a wife, who was his senior sister from the same sect. The two of them were originally quite harmonious, but this senior sister had only average talent and had not advanced to the Innate Realm. As she grew older and her appearance faded, he had no choice but to seek a new love.

At this moment, Xu Kaitian had no idea that an old constable was sitting on his pleasure boat...
