Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 204 Fusion of Inner Strength Techniques, Seeking Instruction and Passing on the Sword
"Senior Sister Xuanhe gave me some rouge from Yunhuazhai. It smells so good. Junior Brother, would you like some?"

Ouyang Lan looked up, overwhelmed with embarrassment, her face flushed crimson, her eyes brimming with tears, yet she still insisted on looking into Lu Wubing's eyes.

Lu Wubing was startled when he saw the crimson dot on Xiaolan's lips shimmering with a captivating luster under the morning sun.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into my nose, but I couldn't tell if it was my junior sister's own scent or the scent of rouge.

The girl's body, nestled in his arms, was as hot as fire.

For a moment, Lu Wubing almost forgot that he was on the mountain path of Mingyue Peak. He only felt that the mountain breeze was intoxicating and the scenery was picturesque.

As if possessed, I lowered my head and leaned closer.

Surprisingly, this rouge tastes quite good.

Sweet and fragrant.

"Senior Sister Xiaolan, Senior Sister Xiaolan."

Several female disciples from Mingyue Peak called out sweetly from afar and came looking for them.

Hear sounds.

Ouyang Lan trembled, her hazy gaze cleared, and a few strands of hair appeared at the corner of her mouth. Without bothering to wipe them away, she slipped out of Lu Wubing's arms like a fish startled by a bird.

She took a step that took two or three zhang (approximately 6.6-7.6 meters), then quickly waved her hands and jumped up, saying, "Here, here."

As he spoke, he went to greet them.

She took a few steps, stopped, turned around and gave a bright smile, her lips moving silently, "I'll look for you later."

Lu Wubing smiled and nodded, then looked up into the distance. The female disciples had surrounded Senior Sister Xiaolan, laughing and giggling.

I don't know what they said.

He wasn't eavesdropping.

I just thought that if there weren't so much strife and killing in the world, this martial arts world would actually be quite wonderful.

Seeing the enthusiastic expressions of all the Mingyue Sect disciples, one could understand that Ouyang Lan was doing extremely well on Mingyue Peak.

These young disciples were all very friendly with her.

Didn't she say it herself?

Senior Sister Xuanhe has already given her rouge; I wonder what other good things the other senior and junior sisters have given her?
Why didn't any of my senior or junior sisters give me anything?

Thinking of the female disciples who looked at him with trepidation and fear, as if they were seeing an elder, Lu Wubing sighed.

When a person's martial arts skills are high and their status is high, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that everyone respects you, which feels pretty good.

The downside is that, being in a body that's not even eighteen years old, I can't really get along with my sisters, which is a bit of a shame.

The youthful emotions brought on by his physical condition only rippled slightly in Lu Wubing's heart before he quickly forgot about them.

After thinking for a moment, he went up to the Sword Washing Pool on the back of Mingyue Mountain.

On the way back, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Uncle Yuncang mentioned twice that Uncle Guanghan, Ji Changge, had built a hut and lived here.

The cold pool was a place for refining swords and cultivating the mind; she would occasionally teach her disciples as well.

He rarely participates in sectarian affairs.

This princess has remained the same all these years since she joined the Bright Moon Sect.

The name Guanghan itself perfectly encapsulates her solitary nature.

Rather than saying she joined a martial arts sect, it would be more accurate to say she came to become a nun.

Lu Wubing could somewhat understand what Uncle Yun Cang meant.

If anyone on Bright Moon Peak could go further and become a guardian sword of the mountain, it would undoubtedly be the Fairy of the Moon Palace.

She is twenty-nine years old this year, and she has already refined the Heavenly Heart Bright Moon Sword with sword intent.

Furthermore, he cultivated to about 50% of the Yin Void Sword Intent.

The light-footed swordsmanship of Mingyue Peak, combined with its unique Mingyue Manual, results in an internal energy that is ethereal and aloof.

Even if she encountered a master who was 80 or 90% at the Innate Yin Deficiency Realm, she wouldn't necessarily be unable to defeat him.

Back then, it was in Shuangjiang County.

Alone with her sword, she trapped Pig King Zhu Lie in the city. She couldn't kill Zhu Lie, and Zhu Lie couldn't do anything to her either; the two were locked in a stalemate.

This shows that her combat strength is extremely high, and it is comparable to that of Master Yuncang.

Of course, it's still a bit lacking when facing the Snake King.

As the leader of the twelve ferocious beasts, the Green Serpent King possesses profound skills. Its sound attacks and poison attacks are so bizarre that even ordinary experts at the Innate Yang Realm dare not underestimate it in the slightest.

Ouyang was able to hold off this person and fight him to a draw, mostly thanks to the Vast Ocean Divine Skill.

Let's make a horizontal comparison like this.

Lu Wubing could understand that Ji Changge's combat strength was only slightly weaker than Ouyang Zheng's.

In the martial arts world, he would be considered an extremely powerful figure.

Normally, when walking down the mountain, one would never disgrace the reputation of the Three Divine Peaks.

But this is not a normal time.

At Lu Wubing's urging, Ji Changge agreed to take command of the troops of the two cities and govern the people in her capacity as Princess Taiping.

Try to keep the region peaceful and prevent the people from suffering from war and invasion by demons.

In this way, she will be thrust into the eye of the storm.

It is easy to imagine how much bloodshed and turmoil would follow.

For the Moon Goddess, this approach is actually somewhat unfair and too dangerous.

But she agreed without hesitation.

Going against one's own nature, abandoning a peaceful life, and stepping into the storm.

Lu Wubing had no idea how much of the reason was because of that one word, "aunt."

He has no choice but to accept this favor.

Step by step, we entered the back mountain.

The Vast Ocean Divine Skill emanating from Lu Wubing's body produced waves of sound.

Sometimes it is cold and desolate, like the void of the universe; sometimes it is scorching hot, like the sun shining down.

In the end, it transformed once again into a vast ocean, majestic and boundless.

In the vast ocean of true energy, countless water droplets shimmered with starlight.

It's as if true energy has transformed into a boundless sea of ​​stars in the void, infinitely vast and containing infinite laws.

"What a magnificent Vast Ocean Divine Skill! I knew it! Back then, when our ancestor was observing the starry sky and comprehending the Dao, how did he come to comprehend water-based martial arts?"
It turns out it wasn't a water system after all... it was refining the Heavenly River and cultivating the Star Sea.

My imagination is still somewhat lacking; I haven't fully grasped the boundless ambition of the Heavenly River Patriarch.

After truly replicating the two internal energy cultivation methods from Bi Fenkong, the sect leader of Ziyang Sect, and integrating them into the Vast Ocean Divine Art, he opened up all the meridians throughout his body, thus revealing the true nature of this divine art.

This sea is not that sea.

The Three Powers Connect to the Primordial Chaos.

Why is it that two powerful internal cultivation methods were copied?

Standing before the Five Blessings Pavilion, Lu Wubing, brimming with boundless killing intent, unleashed a full-force attack, piercing Bi Fenkong's head apart...

At the very moment the Ziyang Sect Master breathed his last, he spent another year of his lifespan, enduring the pain, to copy the Great Sun Blazing Yang Technique from the other's body.

In this way, the yang and yin energies, the blazing sun and the true energy of the Dark Sun Treasure Scripture, are gathered in one body and merged into the Vast Ocean Divine Art, pushing the true energy cultivation of this technique to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

All streams flow into the sea, and the Vast Ocean Divine Skill is the most inclusive, capable of incorporating true energy of any attribute.

The Frozen Void attribute of the Dark Sun Codex is alright.

When the Great Sun Blazing Yang Technique was incorporated into it, the Vast Ocean Divine Skill immediately began to generate endless variations.

The true energy became even more profound and powerful, and the power of the attack also increased exponentially.

With that in mind, Lu Wubing understood perfectly well.

I got it right by accident.

The Three Divine Peaks were originally founded by three disciples of the Primordial Ancestor.

This is the traditional saying that one path is passed down to three friends.

Whether it's the Ziyang Sect, the Mingyue Sect, or the Tianxing Sect.

What they received was only a portion of the divine skills and secret teachings of the Primordial Ancestor.

This isn't a secret at all; the higher-ups of all three factions actually know it.

However, given the close ties and mutual support among the three peaks, no one would actually set their sights on the other two sects.

Of course, the main reason was that the Tianxing Sect was extremely powerful back then, and it didn't need to resort to any crooked methods to strengthen itself.

It's totally unnecessary.

We've already produced a second-generation patriarch capable of shattering the void, what more could we ask for?

However, ever since the decline of the Tianxing Sect, Bi Fenkong of the Ziyang Sect has had his own ideas.

This man truly deserves to be called a hero; what matches his ambition is his magnanimity.

Whether it was greed or disgust, he was single-mindedly focused on unifying the three peaks.

The goal, of course, is to combine the three divine skills into one.

It integrates the Vast Ocean Divine Skill of the Heavenly Star Sect, the Great Sun Blazing Yang Skill of the Purple Sun Sect, and the Heavenly Heart Bright Moon Treasure Scripture of the Bright Moon Sect into one, thus reproducing the Primordial Chaos Divine Skill.

No one has ever verified this idea...

But I have to say, the guess is quite reasonable.

Lu Wubing, having no particular opinion, decided to give it a try first.

He was willing to spend a year of his lifespan to replicate the Great Sun Blazing Technique on him again. After the fusion, sure enough, the quality of the true energy was enhanced, and the quantity of true energy also increased dramatically.

Despite being at the same mid-stage Innate True Qi realm, his combat power was three times stronger than when he had just seized the Yin Yang True Qi from the Dark Sun Scripture.

In the distance, swords flashed, and a bright moon rose into the sky, beautiful yet filled with murderous intent.

Lu Wubing chuckled and said, "Auntie, take my sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, a point of sword light, gray and black, seemingly both colored and colorless, hissed and transformed into a water droplet, piercing through layers of air and exploding with a thunderous sound, already piercing in front of Ji Changge.

"Well come."

Although it was only a tiny droplet of true qi sword light.

It doesn't seem particularly large or ferocious.

Ji Changge remained on high alert.

The sword reflects the bright moon, the mind is ethereal, reflecting the heart of heaven.

With his silver-white longsword, he drew a crescent-shaped slash, striking the water droplet.

puff……

A muffled thud.

Ji Changge's expression changed drastically.

With a series of light, quick steps, he stepped on the rocks, creating seven or eight deep craters in the stone ground before the sword light finally stopped.

With a soft "plop," the water droplet transformed into shimmering starlight.

Ji Changge's longsword vibrated like a dragon's roar, and half of his body felt slightly numb and sore, with a blush appearing on his face.

Clearly, she had used all her inner energy to receive that sword strike, fully demonstrating the essence of the Bright Moon Sword Technique.

But this was just a drop of water, a glint of sword light coming from afar.

Just how strong is this junior disciple?

Thinking of the news she had just received, Ji Changge was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't speak for a moment.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Wu Bing, you've actually become this strong. No wonder even the Ziyang Sect Master, Bi Fenkong, died at your hands. I didn't know until we fought. Taking that sword really took a lot of effort for me."

She asked curiously, "I wonder, how much of your strength did you use in that sword strike just now?"

"Actually, I used almost all my strength."

Lu Wubing chuckled.

"It's weird if I believe you."

Ji Changge rolled her eyes at him, thinking to herself that this child was naughty, all smooth talk and trying to make his aunt happy.

Saying that makes me feel much better.

Lu Wubing looked slightly embarrassed, but he wasn't ashamed at all that he had been seen through.

The only thing he wasn't used to was that this "aunt" acted like an elder and spoke to him in a childlike tone.

No matter how you look at it, it just doesn't seem quite right.

In my past life, a fairy of this age would still call herself a baby.

His gaze swept over Ji Changge's fair and delicate face, and noticing that her expression was slightly unnatural, he quickly looked away and said sincerely, "Auntie, you underestimate yourself too much. Even Master Bi Fenkong had some difficulty receiving this sword energy. You were already very strong to receive it without any damage."

Lu Wubing wasn't entirely lying.

Even the long-range sword energy that Bi Fenkong used to block the enemy was only this powerful, since it was a long-range sword strike, which is different from close combat.

As we all know, the farther away a sword aura is from the body, the weaker its attack power and the easier it is to defend against.

When Bi Fenkong launched his sneak attack, he had to engage in close combat. Besides wanting to replicate his talent, there was another reason: close combat allowed him to unleash the full power of his attack, with no loss of energy transfer.

Strong is strong, weak is weak; the moment their weapons clash, life and death are decided.

When masters of the same level unleash their sword or saber energy, the trajectories of their attacks are not only easy to predict, but also easy to disperse.

It's common for a game to go on for ages without a clear winner.

In a real life-or-death battle, you have to get close to fight.

This is precisely why, after Lu Wubing's true qi level caught up, Bi Fenkong could no longer block him from a distance and quickly became unable to withstand him.

In terms of swordsmanship variations, countering and repelling attacks, Lu Wubing, with his clear understanding of sword techniques and perfect comprehension of sword moves, naturally had a significant advantage.

Once a sword technique is perfected, one can cultivate sword intent, just like Ouyang Zheng.

If all ten sword techniques are perfected, and countless sword skills are perfected, then one can also cultivate sword intent, just like Lu Wubing.

The power of Sword Heart Clarity lies in this.

He could quickly learn and improve any sword technique he had ever seen or studied. With the reward of hard work, he gained something from every sword strike, saving countless hours and perfecting all of them.

And so on, accumulating.

In terms of sword intent, it may not be much stronger than the former.

However, the variations in swordsmanship and the ability to counter enemy moves are like a kaleidoscope, which cannot be blocked by one or two extreme sword techniques.

Of course, the true energy he unleashed at this moment, fused with the power of the Vast Ocean Divine Art, and the sword energy he used to attack his Uncle-Master Ji Changge of the Guanghan Sect, was not, as he claimed, the full extent of his power.

He had just swung his sword, using about 20% of his true energy, and even that, the Moon Goddess almost couldn't withstand it.

This shows that even the top combat power of Mingyue Peak is far too weak when facing true masters.

With this in mind, Lu Wubing began to make a plan.

The combined Vast Ocean True Qi is three times stronger than either the Dark Sun Manual or the Great Sun Blazing Sun Innate Mid-Stage True Qi alone.

What if we integrate another kind of true energy from the same source?

For example, the True Qi of the Bright Moon in the Heavenly Heart...

Lu Wubing's heart skipped a beat.

The power of true qi may not represent the whole picture.

However, even a child knows that in a life-or-death battle, high-quality internal energy can provide an advantage.

What would it be like if a giant with the strength of a thousand pounds fought a small man with the strength of a hundred pounds, using the same boxing techniques?

All I can say is that it will be a terrible sight.

Lu Wubing now wants to transform himself into that giant, not just with the strength of a thousand jin, but with the strength of ten thousand jin.

That's the gist of it.

Therefore, if one wants to unify the three peaks into a unified whole, one must learn the mental cultivation method and swordsmanship of Bright Moon Peak.

But we're all on the same side, so there's no need to put on airs.

There's no need to expend lifespan to replicate it under these circumstances.

He himself did not want to owe the Bright Moon Sect a huge favor.

Throughout his life, Lu Wubing never mistreated his own family.

“Aunt, I have recently acquired a new sword technique, which is even superior in quality to the Heavenly Star Bright Moon Sword.”

Legend has it that as long as one comprehends it thoroughly, one can fight against those at the innate level, and even fight beyond one's level at the innate level. It is truly a peerless treasure.

This swordsmanship is excellent, but extremely difficult to master. I wonder if my aunt could offer some guidance?

"Such swordsmanship exists! Is it the Eight Swords of Subduing Dragon? If it is, then there is no way to defeat it."

This swordsmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master. Getting started isn't too difficult; its power depends mainly on the strength of one's physical body, internal energy, and mental fortitude. The stronger one's physical body, internal energy, and mental strength, the greater the power of the swordsmanship.

Upon hearing this, Ji Changge became interested. Seeing that Lu Wubing's expression was off, she asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is another divine sword?"

She was obsessed with swordsmanship and martial arts throughout her life, and she gave up being a princess to join a sect in the martial arts world.

Although the biggest reason was to solve his own bloodline problem, ultimately it was still his love for martial arts.

Otherwise, not thinking about anything and just living a peaceful and uneventful life like Princess Taiping, living to old age and dying, wouldn't be a bad thing.

In terms of comprehension, everyone on Bright Moon Peak knows that she is second to none.

They learn any musical instrument or swordsmanship very quickly.

He even learns faster than Master Yuncang.

Lu Wubing smiled and nodded: "It is the Nine Swords of the Ape King, also known as the Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud."

I acquired this sword by chance, and in my opinion, its power is no less than that of the Eight Subduing Dragon Swords, and it is even more powerful than the Purple Star Divine Sword and the Heavenly Star Bright Moon Sword.

Once one comprehends the essence of swordsmanship, one can harness the energy of heaven and earth to harm others; the movement of the sword stirs the wind and clouds, manifesting the myriad phenomena of nature.

Lu Wubing practiced as he spoke.

The sword transforms into wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning...

Beside the icy pool, sometimes a fierce wind howls, sometimes white clouds gather and disperse, sometimes lightning flashes like rain, and sometimes thunder roars...

Ji Changge stared in disbelief, her whole body trembling, just like a little girl who knew nothing about swordsmanship.

"Are you asking me for guidance? Are you teaching me the Wind and Cloud Divine Sword?"

She was so engrossed that she lost all thought and focused solely on learning the sword techniques.

"The difficulty of this Nine Forms of Wind and Cloud lies in the initial step; only those with extraordinary comprehension can learn it. Ordinary, dull-witted people, no matter how much they practice, will not be able to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth."

The advantage, however, is that once one grasps the basics and becomes somewhat proficient, one can draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, resulting in terrifying power that surpasses ordinary sword techniques.

Lu Wubing was very patient and taught Ji Changge the sword technique little by little.

Finish the last move.

Ji Changge finally realized what was happening, and after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Wu Bing, I've received such a generous gift from you, and I have no way to repay you. I still need to express my gratitude in some way..."

I'll pass on the Heavenly Star Bright Moon Sword Technique and the Bright Moon Heart Sutra to you. Although the Sect Leader didn't say it explicitly, she's already agreed.
