In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

At the same time, a pure spiritual energy was injected into Zhang Xiaoshan's body, not only cleansing his true qi, but also, like tens of thousands of evolutions per second, allowing Zhang Xiaoshan to achieve the best effect by combining the elements he wanted to integrate with the bronze divine patterns.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan's mind entered a state of enlightenment.

The previous insights and unique skills from various schools of martial arts, like endless words, gradually converged into a more profound and unfathomable martial arts manual.

One day, two days, three days...

Outside, Zhang Xiaoshan's body was also like a branding iron, with streams of heat gushing out.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's body automatically activated its true qi after the spiritual energy erupted, operating at ten or even a hundred times its usual speed...

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

In an instant, the temperature around Zhang Xiaoshan rose to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

The seawater vaporized and surged upwards as it burned, while the pressure from the bottom of the sea, hundreds of feet deep, pressed down on Zhang Xiaoshan's body like a tidal wave, constantly impacting his body.

Ten days later, Zhang Xiaoshan, who was in seclusion in the deep sea, suddenly opened his tiger eyes, which were as bright as luminous pearls.

At the same time, a terrifying and domineering aura erupted from his body, and then scorching waves of air, like white dragons, swept across an area of ​​dozens of feet.

In ten days, the 'Tai Xuan Jing' in Zhang Xiaoshan's sea of ​​consciousness finally took shape.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan's previous plan, each sentence was a unique skill, and there were a total of 24 sentences, which were equivalent to unique skills such as the Dugu Nine Swords and the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

....... . .......

Any one of these techniques, if placed in the martial arts world, would be considered a top-tier, unparalleled skill.

Finally, there is a general outline, which is the supreme mental cultivation method.

If a master who is proficient in the Twenty-Four Stone Chambers' unique skills observes, he can directly advance from the peerless realm to the grandmaster realm.

It may seem similar to the ninth level of Mingyu Gong, but in reality it is comparable to the War God Manual.

After all, the role of the general outline is only to amplify and assist.

But it is the essence of the entire Tai Xuan Jing.

Cultivating the unique skills within the Twenty-Four Stone Chambers can still lead to a breakthrough to Grandmaster, but the chances are extremely low. After all, becoming a Grandmaster requires a stroke of luck. For example, the Yihua Palace has dominated the martial arts world for hundreds of years, yet only its founder, Yaoyue, and Lianxing have achieved the rank of Grandmaster.

The general outline, however, merely paves a broad road leading to the end.

How far one can go along this broad road depends on one's understanding and aptitude.

The Grandmaster is merely a stop on the journey.

For those with high comprehension, it is not impossible to reach the end and comprehend the realm of breaking through the void.

Moreover, there is an amplification effect between each article.

After all, when fighting, fists, feet, agility, internal strength, and weapons are all essential.

The more profound skills one possesses in cultivation, the more they can work together, creating a synergy that amplifies each other and achieves unexpected results.

Even without including the general outline, the twenty-four chapters of the same text still represent unparalleled mastery.

Chapter 765 The Swordsman's Divine Skill

"Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles.

···

Who can write your masterpiece, the *Tai Xuan Jing*, even in old age?

The month was up, and on Xia Ke Island, Zhang Sanfeng and the others watched Zhang Xiaoshan pick up his pen after his return.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing that catches the eye is a piece of Li Bai's "Ode to a Knight-Errant" on a 'Mount Tai Stone'. The seemingly wild and unrestrained calligraphy actually conceals a terrifying killing intent, giving people a sense of wandering the martial arts world and settling scores with gusto.

This artistic conception made everyone immediately understand that this was the chivalrous hero in Zhang Xiaoshan's heart.

What chivalrous hero in the martial arts world doesn't kill?

Therefore, every sentence exudes a murderous aura.

With just one song, "The Knight Errant," everyone felt a strong ambition to continue roaming the martial arts world.

Although they did not comprehend a groundbreaking and extraordinary skill like Zhang Xiaoshan during their two-week seclusion, they still gained a great deal.

If this weren't a place other than "July 17th", they would have already entered seclusion to try and break through to the Grandmaster level.

Even Zhang Sanfeng, the Old Celestial Master, and Gu Jianhun, among others, attempted to create their own unique martial arts techniques to rival Zhang Xiaoshan's mastery of creation.

But half a month is not enough time at all; they have only just begun to get started.

At this moment, Gu Jianhun and Xiongwu, who were the island's lords, walked out from inside.

Looking at the assembled crowd, he couldn't help but proclaim in a loud voice:

"Gentlemen, this 'Xia Ke Xing' is the martial arts technique created by the young master, also known as the Tai Xuan Jing."

The young master divided them into twenty-four stone chambers, each containing different martial arts techniques, whether it be movement skills, swordsmanship, or mental cultivation methods...

The last room contains the *Tai Xuan Jing* (Scripture of the Great Mystery). Only through sudden enlightenment of the *Tai Xuan Jing*'s core principles can one advance to the level of supreme mastery.

Gu Jianhun spoke with a faint smile.

Their unparalleled martial arts skills could not be passed down casually, unless they were taught by their own disciples.

Therefore, the island-guarding divine skill, which is an unparalleled masterpiece, plus the twenty-three martial arts skills that split off from it, are the key to Xia Ke Island's survival.

Combined with their own unique skills, Xia Ke Island boasts three supreme martial arts techniques.

"The Twenty-Four Chambers' Ultimate Techniques? The Supreme Mind Cultivation Method?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, never expecting that Zhang Xiaoshan had actually created a supreme martial art, and in such a short time.

"Everyone, please!"

Gu Jianhun and Xiong Wu led the way, while a group of martial arts masters followed behind with curiosity and excitement.

You should know that this is an unparalleled martial art!

Only Zhang Sanfeng and the Old Celestial Master remained clear-headed, understanding that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly. How could Zhang Xiaoshan possibly allow everyone to comprehend this supreme skill directly?

"The Wu hook shines brightly amidst frost and snow!"

It was still Zhang Xiaoshan's signature bold and unrestrained style, filled with both a fierce aura and a free and easy artistic flair.

Upon entering the stone chamber, the group was greeted by a mountainside resembling a boundless jade disc, upon which lay a chaotic landscape of characters resembling wild cursive script.

In a daze, it was as if someone was demonstrating an unparalleled sword technique right before their eyes.

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but practice. While their swordplay was similar, the differences were vast. Some exuded a chilling, murderous aura; others were graceful and unrestrained, like the sword dance of an immortal; still others moved with lightning speed, like a raging storm…

Everyone's understanding is different. Sword techniques may seem the same, but they give people different feelings.

It's as if the original complete Nine Yang Divine Skill was instantly divided into three Nine Yang Skills.

After observing, Zhang Sanfeng, the Old Celestial Master, and the others immediately realized that Zhang Xiaoshan had set up a martial arts barrier here, which was also within their expectations.

Even so, these graphic techniques are of great help to everyone.

"The profound skills on these scrolls are all depicted in the form of graphic imagery by the young master. How much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny."

"Gentlemen, let's continue our tour. This is merely a stone chamber for practicing swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their impulses and continued to follow Gu Jianhun and Xiongwu to the next stone chamber.

If the first stone chamber is so profound, the other twenty-three stone chambers are not much different. Moreover, the last stone chamber records the mental cultivation method. At least the mental cultivation method and the moves are perfectly combined, which is the ultimate skill.

Fist techniques, leg techniques, light body skills, knife techniques, hidden weapons, claw techniques...

Depending on the general category, the martial arts in each stone chamber are different, yet incredibly mysterious.

It captivated everyone, drawing them in completely.

When the group arrived at the last stone chamber, they saw Zhang Xiaoshan sitting cross-legged, with a tadpole-like text opposite him bearing three large characters: "Tai Xuan Jing".

"The Tai Xuan Scripture?"

From the previous transmission of power through diagrams, everyone understood that this final mental technique was even more strictly encrypted.

A supreme martial art like this is not something that can be obtained easily.

Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't set up any defenses against them, but he couldn't possibly pass the ball so easily.

For a moment, everyone stared silently at the tadpole-like characters on it, trying to decipher them.

In the eerie atmosphere, Zhang Xiaoshan silently cultivated, while the group of renowned martial arts masters stared wide-eyed, ultimately displaying expressions of confusion and resentment.

"Indeed, what you said is correct, young master."

Unless you can truly comprehend the first twenty-three stone chambers, there is no possibility of sudden enlightenment of the Tai Xuan Scripture. Don't waste your energy and end up with your minds collapsing!

Gu Jianhun watched for a while, then curled his lip.

The fact that he couldn't glimpse the secrets of the final chapter of the mental cultivation method undoubtedly left him with a sense of regret.

But this unique skill was left here, giving him time to study it in the future. On the other hand, these martial arts practitioners left three days later, never knowing if they would ever have the chance to set foot here again.

"The Dharma should not be lightly transmitted; it seems we are not destined to receive it!"

Shaolin has the Yi Jin Jing, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and the Seventy-Two Unique Skills, so it is naturally not lacking in martial arts. Therefore, Juesheng did not pay attention to this mental cultivation method.

On the contrary, his martial arts skills in terms of fists and feet were quite useful for Juesheng to learn from.

However, if we're talking about complete understanding, Juesheng still can't unravel that thin veil.

"It's just a charade!"

Many people come with hope but leave disappointed, leaving them with resentment.

However, they only complained verbally, and with Zhang Sanfeng there, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't make things difficult for them. After calming down, they would understand the principle that the law should not be easily passed on.

"You don't have much time left. In three days, you will all have to leave Xia Ke Island."

We have just toured twenty-four stone chambers. If any of you feel a connection with a particular chamber, you may enter and contemplate it. Three days later, someone from version 2.0 will remind you and guide you onto the ship.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

"Supreme Great Unity Savior from Suffering Heavenly Venerable!"

"Namo Amitabha!"

···

Everyone looked at Gu Jianhun and Xiong Wu's indifferent and impartial expressions, and their hearts immediately tightened.

They knew the two men's strength; they weren't even qualified to cause trouble unless Zhang Sanfeng led the charge. Otherwise, their group would just be easy prey.

Three days?

The group hurried to the stone chambers they had chosen earlier, seizing the time to study them.

After all, three days is too short a time. Even a peerless master with high comprehension might not be able to comprehend its mysteries.

As for rubbings?

Regardless of whether Zhang Xiaoshan would allow it or not, the spirit conveyed in the illustrations alone cannot be captured by rubbing. In the end, it would only have the form but not the spirit, and at best, it would be considered a superior martial art.

In the end, we'd also offend the Zhang family and Xia Ke Dao, which would be a net loss.

Chapter 766 The Zhang Family's Investment in Children's Education

“I’m not leaving. I’m willing to join Xia Ke Dao and be driven by Xia Ke Dao.”

"I won't leave either. I'm an old man with not much time left to live. I'm willing to stay here and comprehend the ultimate martial arts!"

"I have only grasped less than one percent of it; how could I possibly give up all my previous efforts?"

···

Three days later, a group of martial arts masters, acting like rogues, stayed on the island and refused to leave.

The martial arts within the stone chamber were like a treasure trove, and the allure of the stunningly beautiful women captivated them, making them reluctant to leave even when driven away.

In the end, it was Zhang Xiaoshan who intervened, putting them into a state of suspended animation and carrying them onto the ship.

Xia Ke Island is Zhang family territory, not to mention the disciples they have trained there.

If these people are allowed in, it's hard to say who will ultimately control Xia Ke Island.

Moreover, these people only provided a martial arts insight, but they received much more in return. Zhang Xiaoshan owes them nothing.
