Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 252 Setting Off
It rained lightly in the early morning, but it stopped quickly.

The low-hanging, gloomy clouds were blown away by the wind.

The peach blossoms have all fallen, the green willows ripple like waves, and the sunlight sparkles brightly above them.

The early summer sun shone on the small courtyard of the Sangao Residence.

Inside the pavilion, everyone was holding a bowl of hot dry noodles and slurping them down.

Suddenly, the little beggar pinched Ren Shaoyang's arm hard and gritted his teeth, saying, "You bastard!"

"Ouch! Ah!" Ren Shaoyang jumped up and down in pain. "You little beggar, you hit me too hard!"

"Ruthless?" the little beggar sneered. "If your arm hadn't healed, I would have already gone to Tianshan."

"Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

Ren Shaoyang finished his noodles in a few bites and took a sip of tea.

"Crippled man, how did you recover so quickly?" Ding'an saw that the little beggar had finished eating, so he picked out his half bowl of noodles for her.

Ren Shaoyang sipped his tea and said casually, "I have thoroughly understood the 'Mountain Classic'."

"The Three Character Classic?" Ding An was stunned. He moved a stool over and sat down next to him, asking cautiously, "Crippled man, were you driven mad by Pang Ban? Is this thing useful?"

As soon as he said this, Feng Xinglie, Gu Qianlian, and Xi Yingzhen, who were eating noodles nearby, all burst into laughter.

Ren Shaoyang said, "The 'mountain' in 'mountain' doesn't mean 'three' or 'four'!"

Hongxiu looked into his eyes and said, "Did you get it from a dream?"

"Yes, I plan to try to understand it some more."

The little beggar frowned and said, "You want to use this as a basis to comprehend 'the movement of the mind'?"

"Oh?" Ding An's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward to ask, "Is the cripple finally going to master this 'Supreme Divine Skill'?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Yes! After all these years, we've finally come this far."

"The leader's divine skill?" Xi Yingzhen was completely bewildered. "What kind of skill is this? I've never heard of it before."

Seeing this, Ding An turned to him and told him about the wonders of these three incomplete chapters. After listening, Xi Yingzhen suddenly understood and stroked his beard, laughing, "Such a skill in cultivating the mind and consciousness is truly rare. The creator of this skill far surpasses Pang Ban in both cultivation and spirit."

Hongxiu instructed Ren Shaoyang, "Be very careful. When you are about to comprehend something, you must always maintain the state of 'all things returning to oneness'."

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this a combination of my 'Great Vajra Divine Power'?"

“That’s right.” The little beggar nodded. “But the foundation is the unity of all things. Next, you need to achieve ‘where does the unity return to?’”

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "I understand. It means creating a supernatural power that suits one's own temperament, martial arts skills, and mindset."

"The movement of the heart is the key to unlocking the body's hidden secrets, and you can never be too careful."

As Hongxiu spoke slowly, she casually snapped her fingers, and with two "crackling" sounds, a small arc of electricity appeared.

"Once you create your own supernatural power and then forget about it, this 'mind-move' will be perfected."

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "So that's how it is. When I forget my true form and my supernatural powers, it's like the 'one' disappears. I then cultivate to the 'empty and clear enlightenment' realm of the Peanut Patriarch, which is the realm of refining emptiness."

"This is what I've learned over the past two years," the little beggar said casually, patting his shoulder.

Ren Shaoyang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then sighed, "The road ahead is long and arduous."

Xi Yingzhen chuckled and said, "Shaoyang, now that you know it's difficult, are you just going to give up and keep trying?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily, his eyes shining, and said, "Elder Xi, I was just expressing my feelings. We still have to do what we need to do, and we learn by doing!"

Xi Yingzhen smiled and nodded, saying, "What you said is true."

Ren Shaoyang turned to Hongxiu and asked, "Why isn't Xiaobai coming over?"

"Xiao Bai is going to find 'Lone Thief' Fan Liangji." The little beggar shrugged. "Ma Junsheng was killed by Li Chimei, so he needs to find someone to prove himself again."

"Alas, the road to seeking fairness and justice is always so tortuous."

After a moment of reflection, Ren Shaoyang suddenly said, "Old Master Xi, Little Beggar, Ding'an."

The three of them looked up at him when he called their names.

Ren Shaoyang said, "Recently, I've been feeling restless and was thinking of taking a boat with Lao Li to visit the Dual Cultivation Mansion. It just so happens that the 'Poison Doctor' Lie Zhenbei of the Dual Cultivation Mansion is Lao Li's close friend, and he can also treat our injuries."

“Yes, Senior Lie’s medical skills are renowned throughout the world,” Gu Qianlian quickly said. “If you seniors were to go, our Lord would surely be very pleased.”

"and many more!"

Hongxiu's expression was serious as she asked earnestly, "Are you talking about the Dual Cultivation Palace?"

"Yes," Gu Qianlian nodded.

Hongxiu looked at Ren Shaoyang, and he nodded: "We're going to the Dual Cultivation Mansion."

The little beggar sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "Crippled guy, didn't you say before that there was a Grim Reaper elementary school student who caused death wherever he went?"

"Oh huh?"

"We're about the same as him now!"

Ren Shaoyang's expression changed, and he fell silent. The others didn't know what Hongxiu meant, but seeing Ren Shaoyang's unusual expression, they could only wait for an answer.

Ren Shaoyang asked calmly, "Are Pang Ban's men up to their old tricks again?"

Hongxiu slapped her thigh, grabbed Ren Shaoyang's hand and shook it repeatedly, saying, "A clever cripple!"

"what's the situation?"

Hongxiu said, "I wiped out Diao Piqing and others from the Phantom Sword Sect at the Wuchang Prefecture dock. I heard from them that 'Flower Demon' Nian Liandan, along with Diao Xiang, 'Sword Demon' Shi Zhongtian, and a group of extraterrestrial allied forces, are going to attack the Dual Cultivation Mansion."

"Nian Liandan!" Gu Qianlian exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock, clearly terrified.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xinglie quickly embraced her to comfort her.

After a long while, Gu Qianlian finally calmed down. Facing the probing gazes of everyone, she gave a bitter smile, grabbed Feng Xinglie's hand, and trembled for a long time before slowly recounting the grudges and affections between Nian Liandan and the Dual Cultivation Mansion.

It turns out that Nian Liandan's tribe, along with the original owner of the Dual Cultivation Palace, "Wushuang Kingdom," belonged to the Oirat.

However, his father, Nianye, defected to the Mongols and seized the territory of Wushuang Kingdom, forcing the Shuangxiu Mansion lineage to flee to the Central Plains.

The two countries are enemies who have lost their nations.

Furthermore, the "Dual Cultivation Technique" of the Dual Cultivation Mansion is the only way to counter Nian Liandan's "Flower Fairy Qi".

Therefore, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers, Nian Liandan will definitely do everything in his power to eradicate the lineage of the Dual Cultivation Sect.

After uttering the last word, Gu Qianlian turned deathly pale and fell silent.

Feng Xinglie felt Gu Qianlian's hands were icy cold, and his heart grew heavier.

"Heh, a severed hand." Ren Shaoyang took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. "What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Ding'an asked somewhat reluctantly. "I'm a little interested in the 'Dual Cultivation Technique'."

"Pah!" Hongxiu laughed and cried at the same time. "You're just a lecherous old man who dares to peep at village women bathing. You're good with words, but you can't handle the real thing!"

"You, you've insulted my innocence for no reason!" Ding An's face turned bright red. He snorted and crossed his arms, sulking.

Hongxiu chuckled, glanced at Ren Shaoyang, then at Feng Xinglie and the other man, and said, "We always have a habit when we do things."

"What habits?" Feng Xinglie asked.

The little beggar wiped his nose, looking smug: "I love to get involved in injustices, I love to clean up trashy people, and I love to curse when I hear bad things!"

"Granddaughter, what are you doing?" Xi Yingzhen looked at her with a strange expression. "Are you looking for trouble, or are you on your way to looking for trouble?"

"Yes!" Hongxiu replied without hesitation.
Feng Xinglie and Gu Qianlian were stunned for a moment, then murmured, "The three of you are so domineering."

"Domineering?" Ren Shaoyang laughed. "That's how we do things."

Gu Qianlian's eyes lit up, and her heart pounded inexplicably: "Sword God Ren, you, you want..."

Ren Shaoyang said, "Of course I'm going to the Dual Cultivation Mansion to meet new friends and deal with my old rivals."

He spoke casually, but everyone in the pavilion was excited.

The "Three Fiends of the Northern Frontier" are now famous throughout the world. Their journey to the Dual Cultivation Palace is a momentous event, whether in the court or in the public eye.

Hongxiu laughed, "Perfect timing! We're getting restless, let's take a boat to 'Mysterious Valley'." She smiled, then turned her gaze to Ding'an, "What do you think of the severed hand?"

Ding'an was still angry with the little beggar for being chubby, but when she heard the little beggar call her name, she couldn't help but say, "Of course I want to go!"

Hongxiu shook her head back and forth, looking up at the sky, and said, "If we don't teach them a lesson, these people will never learn."

Ren Shaoyang slowly pondered her words, then said, "We'll leave tomorrow, at breakneck speed, and we must reach the Dual Cultivation Mansion before Nian Liandan and the others."

Feng Xinglie interjected, "Uncle Ren, Master has already prepared the boat. We can just go to Huangzhou Prefecture to board the boat."

Ren Shaoyang nodded and said, "Alright!" He looked at Feng Xinglie and said, "I'll teach you the staff technique while we're on the ship."

Feng Xinglie cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ren."

"Alright!" Ren Shaoyang waved his hand. "Everyone pack up, we'll set off tomorrow morning!"

Everyone agreed and got up to leave.

Just then, Ding'an scurried over to Feng Xinglie's side and whispered, "Nephew, nephew."

"Uncle Li, what are your orders?"

"Um," Ding An hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "the Dual Cultivation Technique, could I possibly witness it?"

Noticing their complicated expressions and the look of disdain they gave him, Ding An hurriedly tried to cover it up: "Of course, I didn't really want to see it, it was Shao Yang who asked me to."

Feng Xinglie said, "Uncle Li, look behind you."

"Huh?" Ding An's face turned pale upon hearing this.

Suddenly a small white hand reached out and twisted Ding'an's ear.

Ding'an yelled, "Ouch! Little beggar, you're too strong! I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Hongxiu snorted coldly: "You one-armed old lecher, you have to be taught a lesson!"
