From absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to achieving divine mastery in martial arts

"The Creation of Heaven is indeed extraordinary."

Cang Yao's face showed a hint of pride, but her tone remained calm. "The reason I am favored by my father and have a status far exceeding that of my other brothers and sisters in the family is because I have thoroughly mastered this Opening Heaven Force and integrated my spirit and will into my bones and blood. With a thought, I can unleash terrifying power far exceeding that of my peers."

"Excellent! Besides the cultivation of mental will, the accompanying breathing technique is also extremely ingenious!" Jin Shiwu's eyes gleamed as he pointed to the lines of small print on the page, praising, "The inhalation and exhalation are perfectly integrated with the punching and retracting of the fist, triggering a resonance of qi and blood, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort. This combination of 'intention' and 'qi' is truly brilliant! There are so many aspects of this technique that I can learn!"

As he looked around, he could no longer contain his excitement and said to Cang Yao, "Cang Yao, let's try it outside the pavilion!"

"it is good."

The two got up and went to the open space outside the stone pavilion, where they began to practice the techniques in the manual, one move at a time.

Outside the pavilion, Cang Lian looked at the book "The Heaven-Opening Force" left alone on the stone table, and was equally excited!

As a time traveler, he absolutely refused to be subservient to anyone!

Who wouldn't want to become a legend at the pinnacle of martial arts?

Who wouldn't want to learn the most advanced martial arts techniques?

Now, such an incredible opportunity and good fortune has been presented to him without any warning!

Taking advantage of the moment when Cang Yao and Jin Shiwu stepped out of the pavilion and were fully focused on practicing their moves, Cang Lian's mental focus frantically centered on the ancient book, like an invisible, ultra-high-precision camera!

"First move..."

He began to silently recite the text in his mind, while imprinting the illustrations depicting the trajectory of human force exertion into his mind stroke by stroke.

Nourished by the moonlight, his spiritual power had been raised to the point of condensing into liquid, and he was surprised to find that he had the ability to remember everything he saw!

He only silently recited those ancient seal characters once in his mind, and the structure and strokes of the characters were firmly memorized by his powerful mental thoughts, as if branded into the depths of his soul.

Those complex diagrams of the human body's meridians are also easy to understand at a glance.

This discovery filled Cang Lian with immense joy!

This would have been absolutely impossible before!

Even with the best memory, it's impossible for him to remember such complex information so quickly and accurately.

This ability is truly a stroke of luck, where heaven and earth lend their support, like a timely and sweet rain from the sky!

He seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly memorized it.

Having memorized the first page of the manual, his mental thoughts drifted down, quickly permeating the next page, and then he continued memorizing.

Just then, Jin Shiwu seemed to have hit a bottleneck. With a look of confusion about martial arts on his face, he turned around and walked back to the stone pavilion, wanting to take another look at the contents of the manual.

The moment the other party turned around, Cang Lian's spiritual thoughts quickly fled far away, silently drifting to the air above the martial arts hall, concealing all his aura.

Jin Shiwu picked up the manual, examined it carefully for a moment, his brows furrowed as if he had gained some insight, then put the manual down and went back to continue practicing.

When Cang Lian saw Jin Shiwu go to practice again, his spiritual thoughts drifted down and began to permeate into the next page of records.

And so it went, back and forth.

In this cycle of tension and excitement, he managed to transcribe the entire book "The Power of Creation" in less than half an hour!

The memory is so vivid, it's as if it were carved into my soul stroke by stroke with a knife; every word and every picture is crystal clear.

"what?"

After finishing another set of punches, Jin Shiwu turned to look at the manual, slightly puzzled: "Why do I keep feeling like there's someone sitting in the stone pavilion... peeking at the manual?"

"Perhaps it's the wind," Cang Yao said casually.

"Maybe!" Jin Shiwu didn't think much of it, because his mind was completely absorbed in the wonders of the manual, and he was completely mesmerized.

Outside the wall, Cang Lian slowly withdrew his mental thoughts. He leaned against the wall, his body trembling slightly from extreme excitement.

He was equally engrossed in watching, so excited he wanted to shout out loud!

Just like that, I've acquired a top-tier martial art!

It was like a dream, and he could hardly believe it.

"People say that sorcerers are inferior to martial artists, and that in a real fight, sorcerers might be lacking in direct confrontation. But my actions today precisely demonstrate that the unpredictability and secrecy of a sorcerer are unmatched by martial arts masters!"

A sharp glint flashed in his clear eyes.

"Now that we have obtained the 'Heaven-Opening Strength', we finally have a cultivation method for the Ming Strength stage."

His mind raced. "What about the hidden strength and transformative strength that follow? Cang Yao and Jin Shiwu are both rare geniuses of our time. Their exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me! I should take this chance to listen carefully to their insights on martial arts and lay a solid theoretical foundation for my future cultivation!"

With that thought in mind, his mental thoughts once again probed into the martial arts hall like a ghost.

This time, he again did not approach anyone, but instead suspended his mental energy in mid-air, quietly watching and listening.

His thoughts were mostly focused on Cang Yao and Jin Shiwu.

After listening for a while, he realized that these two were indeed geniuses. They were no longer discussing simple moves, but rather the transformation of "strength," the application of "intention," and even the subtle relationship between qi and blood and the timing and location of events.

The insightful views and rich knowledge about martial arts captivated Cang Lian, who gained a great deal from them, as if a completely new door had been opened for her.

Just as he was happily preparing to continue "stealing the master's skills," his spiritual power inadvertently swept across the high platform of the martial arts hall and suddenly discovered that the martial arts instructor, Hong Jiuru, was sitting upright in a grand chair. He had taken out an ancient book with a black cover and silver thread binding and was engrossed in reading it.

This scene immediately captured his full attention.

Hong Jiuru!

A master at the peak of Dan Jin!

What kind of earth-shattering martial arts books is he reading?

As soon as Cang Lian had a thought, a wisp of spiritual energy cautiously probed over, wanting to get closer and see what was going on.

From a distance, he could barely make out the five large, flamboyant characters on the book cover: "Azure Dragon Bone-Shattering Hand"!

"Azure Dragon Bone-Shattering Hand? Could this be the core martial art passed down by the Cang family? Just the name sounds domineering and ruthless!"

Cang Lian thought to himself, driven by curiosity, he wanted to get closer and see more clearly.

But just as his mental energy approached a certain distance...

"brush!"

The next moment, Hong Jiuru on the high platform suddenly slammed the manual shut and stood up abruptly!

His usually calm and composed face was now filled with surprise and doubt!

Those cloudy old eyes instantly became sharp as an eagle's, like two tangible swords, scanning the entire martial arts hall!

At the same time, the compressed internal energy within him suddenly spread out like a volcanic eruption, instantly forming an invisible and violent energy field around him!

This aura, like an invisible hand, swept fiercely across the surroundings with destructive power!

"not good!"

Alarm bells rang loudly in Cang Lian's heart!

This powerful aura is terrifying!

The moment his thoughts came into contact with this aura, they were like a candle flame in a storm, without even a chance to struggle, and were instantly scattered and torn to pieces!

"What's wrong, Instructor?" A disciple who was practicing his boxing nearby noticed Hong Jiuru's sudden change in expression and asked in surprise.

Hong Jiuru did not answer. He frowned, his eyes flashing, and carefully sensed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

He muttered to himself in surprise and uncertainty, "I think... I've sensed a spiritual force watching me... Or perhaps I'm mistaken?"

He sensed for a moment, and seeing that there was nothing else amiss, he slowly sat back down in the large chair.

Outside the wall, Cang Lian was filled with lingering fear and shock.

"Hong Jiuru was actually able to detect my spiritual thoughts? Dan Jin... Is this the power of a Dan Jin master? The aura he unintentionally released almost shattered the wisp of my spiritual thoughts!"
