Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 356 The Exquisite Tower of Heaven and Earth

Fearing that her senior brother would suffer a loss, Sun Yanwan unleashed her five-colored sword energy and clashed head-on with Zhou Shuyou.

The Great Five Elements Universe Flow Extinction Divine Light Sword Qi struck the protective yellow light of this grandmaster uncle, instantly shattering it without causing him any harm.

Zhang Qingxi and Sun Yanwan each suffered a loss. The two brothers looked at each other in shock. They had long heard that once the tenth transformation of Xuanhuang was revealed, all kinds of true energy in the world would be eliminated without a trace, but they never expected it to be so mysterious.

Sun Yanwan took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Is this the supreme transformation of the Xuanhuang Scripture, the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth?"

Zhang Qingxi sighed and replied, "Of course it is."

There are no Three Pure Ones in this world, there are only Taoist Ancestor Xuanhuang, Taoist Ancestor Taiqing, and Taoist Ancestor Yuhuang, who are the source of all Taoist sects in the world.

Above the head of the Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor, there is always a Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. It is said that this pagoda has the wonder of being impervious to all laws, and no matter what kind of law it is, it is just a joke and not worth mentioning.

It's said that—there's no law with a tower!
The highest transformation of the Xuanhuang Scripture of the Songyang School is the combination of the previous nine transformations into the final transformation—the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!

Zhou Shuyou had been imprisoned in Tianwu Prison for fifty years, and the resentment in his heart was as deep as the ocean. How could he let the two go? His palms glowed slightly with yellow light as he attacked the two of them.

Zhang Qingxi continued to defend with his sword, but he felt that his true energy was like a mud ox entering the sea, while his opponent's true energy was overwhelming. He was greatly shocked.

Even with her extraordinary internal energy, Sun Yanwan couldn't withstand the blow. In the midst of her struggle, she focused her energy in her eyes and shouted, "You beast!"

He activated the Demon-Summoning Banner and forcefully used his extraordinary spiritual power to overpower Zhou Shuyou's five senses.

Although he was countered by Zhou Shuyou's martial arts essence, his five senses and seven orifices were shaken, and blood seeped from his ears and nose, he eventually managed to break free.

At this moment, more than ten court officials with extraordinary martial arts skills rushed up to protect the emperor in the main hall. Zhou Shuyou spread his palms and swept them away like dry leaves. Almost no one could withstand a single blow from him. He killed seven or eight people in an instant.

Hei Guanghan realized that this junior brother of the Songyang Sect's Feng Patriarch was indeed incredibly powerful. He rushed out of the hall, seized a Yulin Guard's spear, and threw it back into the hall.

Hei Guanghan, as expected of a Grandmaster, assessed the situation and made his move at the perfect moment. His spear was aimed straight at Sun Yanwan, who easily took it from him and flicked it lightly, joining Zhang Qingxi in fighting Zhou Shuyou.

Sun Yanwan shared the same idea as Feng Zushi back then. Although he had obtained the Six Arts of Heavenly Martial Arts, he knew that they should not be abused. He wanted to change them and deduce a completely new set of martial arts.

Besides the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong and the Seven Illusions of Dream Weaving, what has been deduced now is a set of "Supernatural Spear Techniques"!
Although this spear is shorter than the lance, it is not a big problem to use it to practice the "Sun Family's Divine Spear Technique".

After Sun Yanwan acquired the Six Arts of Heavenly Martial Arts, he finally understood why the Zhang family's Heavenly Martial Spear Technique could be used so quickly!

All martial arts under heaven, though different in path, lead to the same goal!
The mystery of the Heavenly Martial Spear Technique lies in its profound mental cultivation method.

This mental technique, like the Heavenly Shadowless Demon technique, relies on mental technique transformation to greatly increase the speed of attack.

The Heavenly Phantom Shadowless Technique involves two mental cultivation methods that can be switched up to nine times, increasing the speed of movement. However, after nine switches, one must replenish their energy, and the speed will decrease. The Heavenly Martial Spear Technique is similar, involving several mental cultivation methods, but with different subtleties. One section within the technique is specifically for replenishing energy, which is undetectable to outsiders, making it seem as if one never needs to replenish energy. The spear technique is as fast as thunder and lightning, incredibly fast.

Sun Yanwan speculated that the nine-stage Heavenly Martial Divine Skill of that year, when activated in sequence, caused different true energies to collide and surge with each change of the skill, resulting in a power that could shatter heaven and earth. However, if the skill was broken down and two or three stages were activated separately, it would also have other wonderful uses.

For example, the Four Symbols Yuan Gong that Ba Tianmo devised back then, with a change in mental technique, the true qi would become more solid, and the palm force would become more powerful.

The "Sun Family Divine Spear Technique" created by Sun Yanwan has similar martial arts principles to the Heavenly Martial Spear Technique, but its mental cultivation method is different from that of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family's Heavenly Martial Spear Technique has a separate mental cultivation method, but Sun Yanwan extracted several sections of the mental cultivation method from the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong to replace it.

Sun Yanwan's "created" Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is divided into nine stages: Collapsing Dragon, Stepping on Dragon, Moving Mountain, Treading Sea, Calling Wind, Summoning Rain, Pushing Clouds, Spitting Mist, and Controlling Lightning.

The Divine Spear Technique is divided into four groups, each consisting of three to five stages of internal energy cultivation. Regardless of the combination, it always includes the technique of summoning wind to replenish energy. In terms of pure spear speed, it even surpasses the Zhang family's technique, being as swift as a storm and as dense as a sudden rainstorm. However, with the spear technique reaching this level of speed, many subtle variations are no longer applicable, making it comparable to the Zhang family's original Heavenly Martial Spear Technique in its own way.

With a spear in hand, Sun Yanwan thrust out each time with a whistling sound that cut through the air.

Zhou Shuyou immediately dared not be careless, and extended a finger to block 128 shots.

The tenth transformation of Xuanhuang can dissolve all true energy in the world, but it cannot dissolve a spear out of thin air. Even if Zhou Shuyou can dissolve the true energy on the spear, how can he make the spear disappear?
He was a true master of internal martial arts. Although he had some foundation in external martial arts, he could not temper his body to be as tough as steel and withstand divine weapons.

Zhang Qingxi secretly praised, "The Black Attendant really has a keen eye. He was able to find the only flaw in the tenth transformation of Xuanhuang in such a short time."

Actually, this can't be called a flaw. Ordinary martial arts masters can only make their weapons indestructible by infusing them with true qi. Without the support of true qi, even the sharpest sword cannot pierce the protective true qi of a master like Zhou Shuyou. However, Sun Yanwan is not only an internal martial arts master but also an external martial arts grandmaster. Even without true qi, a long spear can still pierce metal with his unparalleled strength and power.

Zhang Qingxi shouted, "Black Attendant!"

Sure enough, Black Lightham threw in another spear.

With a spear in hand, Zhang Qingxi roared and channeled his inner energy, unleashing the Ten Powers of Tathagata from Longzang Temple.

Zhou Shuyou had never seen anyone who could cultivate both internal and external martial arts to such a level. When he was able to roam the martial world freely, there weren't many masters of external martial arts, and those who cultivated both internal and external martial arts often had a particular emphasis on one. Unlike Sun Yanwan and Zhang Qingxi, who could switch martial arts at will when facing an enemy, and every martial art they used was incredibly powerful.

Dozens of Imperial Guards suddenly rushed in, all reaching out to touch the person in front. Hei Guanghan stood alone at the front, gathering the inner strength of dozens of Imperial Guards, and with a roar, he struck out with his palm, instantly causing a muffled sound like thunder throughout the entire hall.

The combined internal energy of dozens of people is concentrated in the body of a veteran master. There was no such powerful internal energy in the world. No single person, no matter how skilled in martial arts, could cultivate internal energy to such a level.

Faced with this palm strike, Zhou Shuyou dared not take it head-on. The protective power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda had its limits. So he shouted and leaped off the roof of the main hall.

When he jumped down, he had already smashed a hole in the main hall, so he could leave with ease.
