Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 353 The Sun Family's Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Sun Yanwan felt relieved knowing she had passed this hurdle, but then she heard Yang Wuji say, "Do you know why the Zhang family became the Tianwu Zhang family? And why they imprisoned so many martial arts masters?"

Sun Yanwan shook her head and replied, "I don't know."

Yang Wuji said calmly, "They are all related to Ningbi Cliff, one of the four great spiritual realms."

Sun Yanwan was taken aback and was about to ask again when Yang Wuji said, "The Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult knows more secrets. You can ask Hei Guanghan slowly later. I will be returning to Zhoujia Mountain soon, and you also have many things to do. Today is just to see Diao'er, and there is nothing else."

Seeing that Yang Wuji intended to send her away, Sun Yanwan quickly took her leave.

Yang Wuji watched Sun Yanwan leave with her daughter, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Old Hei! What do you think?"

Hei Guanghan turned around from behind and chuckled in a low voice, "Master Yang is almost bursting with pride."

Yang Wuji laughed heartily several times, and after a long while, he said slowly, "It's all thanks to Zhang Yuanqiao's excellent training of his disciple."

"Yes, Zhang Yuanqiao really knows how to pick apprentices."

Sun Yanwan and Yang Diao'er returned to the front, where they found an extra item: Zhang Qingxi had sent someone to deliver the Heavenly Martial Spear. After playing with it for a while, he put it down and took out the Heavenly Martial Divine Skill and the fragments of the Divine Staff Techniques collected by the Zhang family, which he studied with Shi Si and Yang Diao'er.

Shi Si and Yang Diao'er each perused the Heavenly Martial Treasure Scroll. The Heavenly Martial Divine Skill is divided into six volumes: Heavenly Martial Illusionary World Technique, Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force, Heavenly Martial Mountain Moving Technique, Heavenly Martial Treading the Sea Tide, Heavenly Martial Dragon Stepping Technique, and Heavenly Martial Spear Technique!
Sun Yanwan was more interested in the Divine Staff Technique. He unfolded it and looked at it for a while. The staff technique collected by the Zhang family was indeed more complete, with more than ten moves than those collected by Wuyinghou and Batianmo. Some of these moves were similar to those created by the three of them, while others were different. He was thinking about how to integrate the newly acquired fragments into the Divine Staff Technique to make it more perfect when he heard Yang Diao'er exclaim, "Isn't this the mental cultivation method you deduced?"

Yang Diao'er unfurled the scroll of the Heavenly Martial Divine Skill, pointed to a few passages, and said with great certainty, "These few passages of the mental cultivation method are almost identical to the one you deduced, differing only in wording, with virtually no difference in the operational route."

Little Mink had seen Sun Yanwan deduce the eight-section mental cultivation method from Lu Chaoxiu. She could tell at a glance that the Zhang family's Heavenly Martial Divine Skill was similar to the cultivation method deduced by Sun Yanwan.

Sun Yanwan was greatly shocked after just one glance. She asked Shi Si to fetch paper and pen and wrote down the order of the eight sections of the mental cultivation method she had deduced. When she went to observe the Heavenly Martial Divine Skill mental cultivation method, she quickly found a section of the mental cultivation method in the Heavenly Martial Tide and put it into the eight sections. It fit perfectly. The parts of the eight sections that were not perfect were suddenly understood when compared with the text on the scroll.

The three looked at each other, all finding the matter extremely strange.

Shi Si said softly, "I have long heard my master say that during the previous dynasty, the Zhang family's martial arts were originally extremely powerful, even able to suppress the Ma family's supernatural abilities. But for some reason, they suddenly became weak. It wasn't until the establishment of this dynasty that they regained their illustrious reputation, but it always feels different from before."

Sun Yanwan slapped her thigh and said, "That must be it!"

"The Zhang family's ancestor went to explore the Golden Light Cave and died inside, so the true Heavenly Martial Divine Skill was lost."

"Later, another genius emerged in the Zhang family, who innovated the family's martial arts and evolved them into the Six Arts of Heavenly Martial Arts. However, it was completely different from the original Heavenly Martial Divine Skill, so there was no sense of it when he was next to Ba Tianmo."

Shi Si and Yang Diao'er both felt that while Sun Yanwan's deduction might not be the truth, it was certainly the most reasonable explanation. Sun Yanwan, Shi Si, and Yang Diao'er spent the entire night studying the Heavenly Martial Treasure Scroll and became increasingly certain that the Zhang family of Heavenly Martial had likely lost three sections of their inner cultivation method back then. The inner cultivation method had become fragmented, and they couldn't even piece together a cultivation method like the Four Symbols Yuan Gong. They didn't know which genius had managed to deduce these six sections of the inner cultivation method into the Six Arts of Heavenly Martial, allowing them to regain their position as a top martial arts family.

As dawn broke, Sun Yanwan gazed at the ground, at the newly deduced Nine-Section Mind Technique. Although it was not yet perfect, it possessed a magnificent grandeur. She said with great interest, "The Heavenly Martial Divine Art has too much of a name. Why not rename it the Nine Revolutions Yuan Art?"

Shi Si chuckled and said, "The Sun family's Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique is truly impressive!"

Yang Diao'er's heart stirred slightly, and she thought to herself, "The original Heavenly Martial Divine Skill was already extremely powerful. The Zhang family lost several sections of the manual, but a genius emerged out of nowhere and deduced the remaining six sections of the manual to a level far surpassing that of their predecessors, thus regaining their place among the top families."

"If this Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is truly revised and perfected, wouldn't it be the number one divine skill in the world? Even the martial arts of Shao Chan Temple, Song Yang Sect, and even our Demonic Sect cannot compare to it."

"It's a pity that neither Yan Wan nor I can master it completely; it will have to be our son who cultivates it."

Thinking of this, Xiao Diao'er blushed slightly, glanced at Shi Si, and thought to herself, "In the future, the Sun family's children who are not good enough will be sent to Shao Chan Temple, Songyang Sect, and the Demon Sect to learn martial arts. Only those who are good enough can learn the family's martial arts."

Sun Yanwan became increasingly busy afterward. During the day, she served her senior brother, and at night she accompanied Shi Si and Yang Diao'er, trying to disassemble all six arts of the Tianwu Zhang family. Those that could be incorporated into the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong were incorporated, and those that could not be incorporated into the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong were deduced into entirely new martial arts.

For example, since the Heavenly Martial Illusionary World Technique was incompatible with the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique, he absorbed the martial arts of Shaochan Temple, Songyang Sect, Demonic Sect, and even Boshi Kingdom, and re-deduced a martial art called Weaving Dreams Seven Illusions!

Sun Yanwan's days in Luojing were busy, but relatively stable.

Most of those who escaped from Tianwu Prison were injured, so the first thing many did after escaping was to recuperate and heal. These people haven't made any moves yet, but there is also a group of people with very minor injuries who, after a short period of quiet rest, have started to take action.

Unsurprisingly, the Tianshan Sect was the first to stir up the wave.

The Tianshan Sect was a place where the imperial family had been exiled throughout history, and thus it was born with the potential to be a rebel.

During this period, dozens of people infiltrated the Tianshan Sect, causing this one of the top ten sword sects to expand its power and grow its ambition. Suddenly, it sent hundreds of disciples to subdue gangs near Tianshan, and even clashed dozens of times with officials and troops monitoring the Tianshan Sect. Intelligence reports rained down and were sent to Luojing.

However, Luojing had just changed emperors, and no one knew how this matter would end. Officials near Tianshan were also slightly tempted, and the news they reported was varied, with some true and some false.

Beyond the Tianshan Mountains, there was a band of bandits who suddenly rose to power, calling themselves the Thirty-Six Friends. They indiscriminately slaughtered officials from all over Dalang. Each of them was highly skilled in martial arts and wore a black veil, so no one knew their identities.

There were at least seventeen or eighteen similar major cases in various parts of Dalang. Some were rebellions, while others were simply murders, arson, looting, and killings, as if they were venting their anger.
