Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 334 The Origins of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism—The War God's Illustrated Manual

After a hearty meal, Xu Qing finally recovered most of his energy, and his injuries healed during this time, restoring him to a perfect body.

He wiped his mouth, looked at the Evil Emperor, and held out his hand: "Give it to me."

"What?" Xiang Yutian was stunned.

“The Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Cultivation Technique,” ​​Xu Qing said calmly.

"Your Majesty's martial arts level far surpasses mine, yet you still take a liking to my 'Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique'?" Xiang Yutian said with considerable surprise.

Xu Qing chuckled: "The 'Demon Seed Technique of the Dao Heart' is the most profound martial art in the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy,' one of the Four Great Classical Novels. In other words, this technique is the core of the Heavenly Demon Strategy."
Moreover, the fact that it allowed an old man like you to reach the Shattered Realm is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this martial art.

The complete "Heavenly Demon Strategy" no longer exists, but the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique" is still intact. It can be said that this martial art is the number one divine skill of the demonic sect.

Its power surpasses even the Cihang Sword Manual of Cihang Jingzhai, because the Cihang Sword Manual is also a martial art evolved from this divine skill of the Demonic Sect.

It's just gone to the other extreme.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yutian slightly raised his chin, clearly able to hear Xu Qing's high praise for the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique," and a secret sense of satisfaction welled up within him.

After all, the other party was the one who defeated him, and even knocked back a powerful figure from Tianmen with a single punch.

"Your Majesty has excellent judgment! My 'Demon Seed Cultivation Technique of the Dao Heart' is absolutely the number one divine skill in the world!"

Xiang Yutian smiled and then handed over the complete "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique".

As Xu Qing perused the manual, he casually asked, "You have already mastered this manual to its highest level, qualifying you to shatter the void and depart."

But now that they choose to remain in this world, they must have some grand plans in mind.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yutian's expression changed slightly.

Wanwan, Lu Miaozi, and Shang Xiuxun, who were standing nearby, were also quite curious about this.

Xiang Yutian faked his death and went into hiding decades ago, leading countless people to believe that he had died from a qi deviation.

But in reality, he has always lived a good life; he just kept himself hidden.

Lu Miaozi looked at Xiang Yutian with the most resentful eyes. He had been deceived by the Evil Emperor and truly believed that the other party was dead.

Then, in accordance with the so-called last wish of the Evil Emperor, the Evil Emperor's relic was hidden in Yang Gong's treasure vault.

Because of this, he broke up with his former lover Zhu Yuyan and was hurt by her, leaving him with a pain that tormented him for decades.

All of this can be attributed to the Evil Emperor.

That old guy hiding has really caused him a lot of trouble.

Xiang Yutian naturally saw Lu Miaozi's gaze, and he felt quite embarrassed, as he hadn't considered things too carefully at the time.

This caused my friend to lose her love and suffer from various illnesses.

"Although I have reached the level of breaking through the void, that is the breaking through by abandoning the physical body, not the complete path of breaking through."

Xiang Yutian paused for a moment, his eyes fixed intently on Xu Qing's body, before continuing:
"The true path to destruction should involve taking one's physical body with it and leaving."

"My physical body has not yet reached the level of shattering. Once it shatters, the moment I step into the Heavenly Gate, I will be crushed by the power within."

Xu Qing nodded slightly. This world was different from the worlds of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

This realm is of a higher level, and the rules of heaven and earth it contains are also more powerful.

Anyone who seeks to be broken will suffer horrific destruction from an extremely terrifying force.

Therefore, if this world wants to completely follow the path of shattering through the physical body, then neither the physical body nor the spirit can have any flaws; both must reach the level of shattering.

But this is extremely difficult. Throughout history, there have only been one or two people who have truly managed to shatter their physical bodies and depart with intact bodies.

The rest are all broken diamonds.

The so-called "Broken Vajra" is one whose physical body is shattered, leaving only its spirit and will to depart.

This is an incomplete path, and it will bring many uncertainties to ascension.

However, the path to cultivating both the physical and spiritual realms to the same level is extremely difficult. Even the most talented person will not reach that point due to insufficient time.

Because the physical body ages much faster than the spirit, and in old age, the decline of qi and blood makes it even more difficult to succeed on the path of spiritual decay.

The Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian did not want to walk that incomplete path; he remained in the world to walk the complete path.

Everyone present was deeply shocked, never expecting that there were so many secrets hidden within the shattered void.

"You certainly have big ambitions," Xu Qing said with a faint smile.

Xiang Yutian said proudly, "I have roamed the world for hundreds of years and am confident that I am even more powerful and talented than the experts at the Shattered Void level back then."

Only by embarking on a complete path can one shatter the void!

"Your spirit and skill are no longer flawed, but your physical body is far from it. In addition, after so many years, your body is no longer at its peak and has begun to decline."

However, your decline is not rapid; this must be due to the effect of absorbing the primordial essence from the Evil Emperor's relic.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over Xiang Yutian's body, seeing through everything in an instant.

“Your Majesty is right. If it weren’t for the help of the Evil Emperor’s Relic, I would have been forced to walk that incomplete path.” Xiang Yutian nodded.

"And you hid yourself away to slow down aging? It seems you chose to freeze yourself."

Xiang Yutian was not surprised; given the strength of the Sui Emperor, it was not difficult for him to have thought of this.

"Let me guess again, what are you waiting for? Is it the legendary 'War God's Record,' which contains the truth of martial arts and all the mysteries of shattering the void?"

Xu Qing easily guessed this.

"The War God's Catalogue!?"

Lu Miaozi, Wanwan, and the others were startled once again.

The War God's Manual is extremely famous; it is the foremost of the four great books of martial arts in the world.

However, it seems that no one has ever seen this thing; only legends about it exist.

"Your Majesty, does the 'War God's Record' really exist?" Wanwan asked curiously.

Before Xu Qing could answer, Xiang Yutian said, "Of course they exist, whether it's the supreme holy scripture of my Demonic Sect, the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy,' or the holy scripture of the Daoist Sect, the 'Longevity Formula.'"

Or perhaps it's the Cihang Sword Manual from Cihang Jingzhai, which ultimately originates from a book called "The Record of the God of War"!

"Hiss! The supreme divine skills of the three major forces of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism all originated from a single martial art!"

Wanwan was shocked, and Shang Xiuxun was completely stunned.

She felt that the people and things she had encountered today were completely overturning her understanding of the world.

These people are incredibly powerful, and these matters are among the most closely guarded secrets in the world.

Now, she can actually hear and see.

"I never expected it to be like this." Lu Miaozi was also moved.

Yutian had never mentioned this to him before.

Old Xiang is really good at hiding his true intentions!

Xu Qing nodded in agreement. The so-called Four Great Books of the World should actually only be considered one book.

Only the "Illustrated Record of the God of War" can be considered a truly extraordinary book in the world.

The other three are martial arts techniques that later generations gleaned from them.

Therefore, the strongest and most important thing in this world is the "War God's Record".

This was also the ultimate goal that Xu Qing set in his heart after descending into this world and learning about it.
