Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

In the game world, in the stone chamber of Lingjiu Palace.

When the scene before me became clear, the stone chamber was dimly lit, with only the luminous pearls on the walls emitting a soft but limited glow.

The in-game time showed that it was already 9:45 PM, the dead of night.

Wu Feng pushed open the stone door and walked out. Sure enough, there were no maids on duty at the door. Only the occasional light footsteps of patrolling could be heard from the corridor in the distance.

After determining the direction, he used his lightness skill to silently dart towards the main hall where the battle had taken place during the day.

The hall was even more spacious and quiet, with huge stone pillars supporting the high dome, making the glow of the luminous pearls appear even colder.

His gaze fell upon the massive stone walls surrounding him.

Even a fleeting glimpse during the day reveals the extraordinary nature of these murals.

If you watch it attentively now, you can better appreciate the charm it contains.

The murals are ancient and profound, depicting mountains and rivers, celestial phenomena, figures practicing martial arts moves, and a large number of abstract lines and symbols. They are not simply martial arts manuals, but rather a carrier of the artistic conception and principles of martial arts.

Upon close inspection, the lines seem to come alive, with a strange internal force emanating from the mural, captivating the viewer's attention.

Those who lack skill or have weak willpower may find their minds stirred and their internal energy deviated if they watch for too long.

However, Wu Feng possessed extraordinary comprehension and a solid foundation. The completion of "Harmony with the World" further clarified his mind, allowing him to easily resist this influence and instead focus more on the "meaning" conveyed by the mural.

He walked slowly, his gaze sweeping over each mural in turn.

As he stood before a mural depicting a form of unarmed grappling that incorporated the essence of various martial arts techniques, concentrating on its meaning, a system notification quietly appeared:

[After observing the murals at Lingjiu Palace, you gained insight and grasped the essence of "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand"!]

Then, as he looked at another mural depicting the application of a strange force—the condensation of water into ice, penetrating to the very marrow—the prompt appeared again:

[After observing the murals at Lingjiu Palace, you gained insight and comprehended the method of condensing and releasing the "Life and Death Talisman"!]

Two streams of information flooded into my mind.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is the pinnacle of unarmed martial arts. Although it consists of only three palm techniques and three grappling techniques, it contains the essence of the Xiaoyao School of martial arts and can be used to develop various moves from all over the world, with no end in sight.

The Life and Death Talisman uses a unique method to infuse Yin and Yang internal energy into liquids such as wine, condensing the water into ice, and then injecting it into the enemy's body, making them unable to live or die. It is the world's number one method of control and torture.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Wu Feng's eyes. These two martial arts techniques, the former a powerful weapon in actual combat and the latter a unique art of crowd control, were both extremely valuable.

He continued moving, carefully observing the remaining murals.

Some of the murals are incomplete, while others are more abstract and obscure.

He tried to analyze and deduce with his high level of understanding, but after a long time, no new insights or hints appeared.

"Is it because the mural itself is incomplete, resulting in an incomplete cultivation technique? Or is it because my trigger conditions are insufficient, or... do I need specific prerequisites or items?" Wu Feng pondered.

It seems that the martial arts tradition of Lingjiu Palace cannot be fully grasped simply by observing the murals.

Obtaining the Plum Blossom Hand and the Life and Death Talisman is already a huge gain.

Just as he stood before a mural depicting ethereal clouds and ephemeral figures, trying to glean deeper insights into the evolution and mysteries of the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, a faint, deliberately soft, yet still audible footstep came from the side hall.

He turned his gaze away and looked toward the source of the sound.

Then, Mei Jian, Lan Jian, Zhu Jian, and Ju Jian arrived together, without swords in their hands, but their expressions remained wary.

The four of them were stunned when they saw Wu Feng standing in front of the mural.

Mei Jian stepped forward, speaking as calmly as possible: "Young master, it's late at night, why aren't you resting? We heard some faint noises over here and thought the thieves had returned, so we came to check."

"I found the carvings on this stone wall quite interesting during the day, so I came to take a look tonight since I have some free time," Wu Feng replied calmly, his gaze sweeping over the four women.

The four maids exchanged glances.

Zhu Jian, being rather straightforward, couldn't help but say, "Young Master, the martial arts on this stone wall... were carved by a mysterious person. They contain extremely profound martial arts principles, but... they are also somewhat dangerous. If one's skill is insufficient or one becomes too engrossed in looking at them, one's mind can easily be captivated by them, and one might even suffer from internal energy deviation, risking qi deviation. Young Master, you should be more cautious." Her tone carried a sincere reminder.

Mei Jian chimed in, "Sister Zhu Jian is quite right. Young Master's martial arts are superb, so perhaps it won't be a problem, but it's always better to be cautious."

Wu Feng nodded, his tone softening slightly: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand. You guys go and rest, I'll take a look for a little longer."

Seeing that he listened to their advice, the four women's expressions softened slightly. Mei Jian said, "Then young master, please rest early. We'll take our leave."

After saying that, the four of them glanced at Wu Feng again, then turned around and left the hall silently, just as they had come in.

After they had gone far away, Wu Feng turned his gaze back to the mural.

He stood there for about an hour, his eyes becoming slightly sore from staring intently for so long, but no matter how hard he tried to concentrate and extract more information from the lines and symbols, the system notification never sounded again.

"It seems this is the only way for now." He rubbed his eyes and gave up trying to force the issue.

Having mastered the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Life and Death Talisman, this trip to Lingjiu Palace can be considered an overachievement of my goals.

The secret of the mural may only be fully revealed when the opportunity arises in the future, or when the Old Woman herself provides guidance.

"Let's leave tomorrow. Let's go and look for traces of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny. If we can trigger her related storyline, we might gain some unexpected rewards."

Wu Feng pondered this in his heart, then turned and left the empty and cold main hall, returning to his stone chamber along the way he had come.

When I returned to the stone chamber, the in-game time had already passed midnight and entered the early morning.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, no longer thinking about the murals, calmed his mind, and began to circulate the Pure Yang Limitless Skill.

The Pure Yang True Qi at the Lesser Completion stage was already vast and boundless, and now, with the double cultivation boost in the Lingjiu Palace stone chamber, its circulation speed and efficiency were even more astonishing.

The golden-red vortex rumbled and circulated in the dantian. With each complete cycle, the true qi became more solid and stronger, and the pure yang energy, which was intense yet contained boundless vitality, became increasingly clear.

[Pure Yang Limitless Skill Proficiency +552]

[Pure Yang Limitless Skill Proficiency +552]

The pale gold notification was flashing at an unprecedented speed.

Wu Feng was completely absorbed in the profound feeling of his inner energy surging and his meridians expanding.

True Qi flowed like a mighty river, cleansing the limbs and bones, nourishing them, and the color of the pure Yang Qi vortex in the dantian gradually changed to a purer and more condensed dark gold.

Time loses its meaning in deep meditation.

As the sky outside the window gradually changed from the deepest inky black to a faint, distant gray-blue, the trajectory of the true energy circulating within Wu Feng's body suddenly trembled, as if it had broken through some long-accumulated invisible barrier!

"boom--!"

A spiritual resonance.

The dark golden pure yang vortex suddenly contracted, then expanded violently. Its volume did not increase much, but its condensation and the purest yang energy it contained suddenly jumped to a huge level!

A pure Yang essence, far more refined, more powerful, and more intensely vast than the Lesser Completion Realm, swept through every meridian and acupoint of the body like an awakened volcano!

[System Notification: Congratulations! Your "Pure Yang Limitless Skill" has broken through to the Great Perfection realm! Internal Strength +300, Constitution +150, True Qi Limit +8000, Pure Yang True Qi purity, recovery speed, and resistance to Yin-cold poison attributes have been greatly improved, Pure Yang Body Protective Qi strength has been significantly enhanced, and the power bonus to Yang-type martial arts has been increased!]

The overwhelming flow of information and the sense of power wash over my mind and body.

Wu Feng slowly finished his practice. In his open eyes, the golden-red color burned like a tangible flame for a moment before deeply subsiding and returning to calm.

He exhaled a long, hot breath, which condensed into a straight, golden-red arrow in the cool morning air, shooting several feet away before slowly dissipating.
