Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 322 Mysterious Embryo Dao Seed
Sun Yanwan is not doing so well this time.

Although he had been in seclusion for most of the day and deduced the route of the strange cold energy in Duanmu Xianling and Yang Diao'er's bodies, he still couldn't understand what this strange mental cultivation method was all about.
He even tried to cultivate it, but it was an extremely ordinary cold-type mental cultivation method. Although there should be other parts, it was currently mostly incomplete. However, judging from his martial arts skills, even if this mental cultivation method were to be completed, it might not be superior to the Xuanming Yin Sha Gong and the Xuanbing Baojian, and it might not even be stronger than the Bingcan Bian.

But the fact that these two streams of cold air were so strange, almost like living things, is quite unbelievable.

Unable to figure it out on her own, Sun Yanwan summoned Wuyinghou and Yang Diao'er, and took out the cultivation technique she had deduced, asking the two of them to study it together.

He explained in detail the condition of Duanmu Xianling and Yang Diao'er's bodies. Wuying Hou smiled wryly and said, "Isn't this the legendary state where the true essence of martial arts is cultivated to the ultimate divine realm, where true qi and the true essence of martial arts are integrated and become one, inseparable?"

"This state has many names: Qi Po Yuan Tai, Yuan Qi Dao Tai, Zhen Qi Ling Shu, Zhen Yuan Qi Po, Xuan Pin Zhen Yuan, Hun Yuan Zu Qi, Xuan Pin Dao Zhong, Xian Tian Yuan Pei, Ling Tui Zhen Zhong, Shi Jie Dao Pei, Yao Yuan Xue Tai, Jie Qi Mo Zhong"

"But the most common name is still Xuan Tai Dao Zi!"

"Those who reach the pinnacle of martial arts may not necessarily be able to condense the Xuan Tai Dao Seed, but those who condense the Xuan Tai Dao Seed are definitely at the pinnacle of martial arts."

"It is said that those who reach this level have all their true energy condensed into a single mass, leaving their meridians empty. Ordinary martial artists like us usually absorb the mysterious energy of heaven and earth and refine it into true energy before we can use it. Those who have forged the Xuan Tai Dao Seed do not need to refine it at all. They directly control the endless mysterious energy of heaven and earth, and their attacks can cause the heavens and earth to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light."

"only……"

Wuying Hou gave another bitter laugh and said, "Miss Yang, even though your father is a peerless master, he probably couldn't do this, could he?"

Yang Diao'er shook her head, but then she said, "I believe that even that ancestor couldn't do it."

Yang Wuji was able to severely injure the ancestor of the Da Lang Dynasty, so their martial arts skills must be roughly equal. What Yang Wuji couldn't do, the ancestor certainly couldn't do either.

Wuyinghou sighed and said, "In the whole world, only the old master of Youjian Villa and that bald man Da Ku might be able to do it, but they might not be able to."

"Now I know what Ba Tianmo got from the Golden Light Cave."

Without Wuying Hou's explanation, Sun Yanwan already knew that there were at least two streams of true energy in the Golden Light Cave that had been cultivated to the level of Xuan Tai Dao Seed. These two streams of true energy could not dissipate for hundreds of years and could even be transferred into other people's bodies, which was simply astonishing.

Sun Yanwan hesitated for a moment before asking, "If the Xuan Tai Dao Seed is transferred into someone's body, can the original owner be resurrected in that person's body?"

Wuyinghou said in a low voice, "I don't know, but such a thing has never happened in the martial arts world before."

"While it's possible that someone did it, but kept it a secret and never showed up again, I still believe that no one could do such a thing."

"The Zhang family and Longzang Temple are the two most enthusiastic about this matter. The Zhang family has only produced a few madmen and fools, and Longzang Temple has only produced the Supreme Relic. Apart from that, there are no other valuable rumors."

Yang Diao'er suddenly asked, "If it is truly a Mysterious Embryo Dao Seed, why is it broken into pieces?"

Wuying Hou replied with a bitter smile three times, "No one can know that." "Ba Tianmo must want to kill people to collect the Xuan Tai Dao Seed in his body, so as to break through to the Grandmaster level or even the pinnacle in one fell swoop."

"But why did he want to kill me and Yan Wan? Neither of us has any Xuan Tai Dao Seed within us."

After a long silence, Sun Yanwan said in a low voice, "He's probably really gone mad."

Sun Yanwan was initially unwilling to admit to this, but now it seems that this is the most likely explanation.

He roughly knew part of the truth, and then a new headache arose: if the broken Xuan Tai Dao Seeds were attracting each other, how could he extract the part from Duanmu Xianling's body?
He certainly wouldn't take the contents out of Yang Diao'er's body and give them to Duanmu Xianling, since this fairy from the Wutai Sect had nothing to do with him.

Another issue is how to mitigate the negative impact.
Wuying Hou was, after all, only a grandmaster. His knowledge of the Xuan Tai Dao Seed came from ancient texts. Only a few masters could have recorded such secrets. Even the Five Classics and Thirteen Greats of the Songyang Sect couldn't compare, since only Feng Laozu was a master. Only long-established sects like the Demonic Sect, Shao Chan Temple, Long Cang Temple, the Zhang family of the Emperor, and the Ma family, the first martial arts clan of the previous dynasty, could have such records.

Even the Shadowless Marquis wouldn't dare go to such a place; the few fragments he obtained already belonged to those ancient families that had vanished.

Although Yang Diao'er came from the Demonic Sect, she had not yet reached the Innate Realm when she left Zhoujia Mountain, so Yang Wuji naturally would not mention these things to his daughter.

The three pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.

A few days later, more than ten murders occurred near Yanchi Lake. This time, the perpetrator exuded a chilling aura, and the victims' bodies remained covered in frost, their deaths bizarre.

Wuyinghou and Sun Yanwan were both extremely troubled. They originally wanted to kill Batianmo and be done with it, but they did not expect that things would become more and more complicated, and there was even another murderer.

A young monk in a monk's robe said to an old man, "This humble monk is Miaohua from Tianlong Temple. I would like to ask for a bowl of water."

The old man trembled with fear. The monk in his eyes was pale and bluish-white, with bloodshot eyes, his robes covered in ice, and he exuded a chilling aura. He was hardly a living person.
It's clearly a thousand-year-old zombie, but it's broken out of the ground and come to claim people's lives.

The old man yelled and ran away.

Monk Miaohua was not annoyed. He chanted a Buddhist mantra in a low voice and went to find a second person with affinity. In no time, the villagers were all frightened by him and ran all over the village. Only a few old and disabled people who could not move were left hiding in their houses and trembling.

Miaohua stood in the village, stunned for a long time. He chanted a Buddhist prayer, his steps heavy. He did not take anything from the village and slowly left. Frost appeared wherever he passed. After he walked away, the frost melted away, leaving a long, wet trail on the ground.

From that time on, a legend was added to the villagers' lives. Several days later, people fell ill one after another, feeling chills all over their bodies. Medicine and warming themselves by the fire were of no use.

Sun Yanwan and Wuyinghou only learned of this humble monk a day later.

Wuyinghou frowned and said, "This person calls himself Miaohua. Isn't he a disciple of Wunian, the monk of the Tianlong Sect? Tianlong Sect is a name in the martial arts world. The monks in the sect all call themselves Tianlong Temple. Wunian is also one of the most outstanding masters of external martial arts in the world. Miaohua is said to be his most outstanding second disciple, whose martial arts are close to his master's."
