Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

No one expected that so much gunpowder was hidden beneath Bright Peak. The incident happened so suddenly that they could only do their best to protect themselves and had no time to rescue others.

As Su Xin looked at the ruins, a figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang!

He muttered to himself:

Really? Really?

Will the future Hongwu Emperor just perish in the explosion?

Then, after a moment's thought, he shook his head, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.

Oh well, anyway, this world is no longer the same world; everything has changed.

What does it matter if Zhu Yuanzhang is gone?

In this vast world, there will always be others who step forward. The saying "When one Zhu Yuanzhang falls, thousands upon thousands of Zhu Yuanzhangs rise up" is roughly the same.

He patted the parchment in his arms, clearly feeling the rough texture of the paper, and was filled with satisfaction.

Having already obtained the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the core objective of this trip has been achieved. As for the destruction of Bright Peak and the rise and fall of the Ming Cult, these are irrelevant to him.

He had only taken a few steps when a sudden thought flashed through Su Xin's mind, causing him to abruptly stop and freeze in his tracks.

He forgot something crucial, something that must not be mentioned!

The figures who escaped from Bright Peak just now did not seem to include the fat monk who carried the Qiankun Qi Bag and loved to talk and laugh.

"Damn it!" Su Xin cursed under his breath, slapping his head with a look of annoyance.

"My Qiankun Qi Bag is gone!" He had two purposes for this trip: one was the Qiankun Great Shift, and the other was the Qiankun Qi Bag in Shuobude's hands. That bag was the key to Yin Li's breakthrough to the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Now, Shuobude was likely buried in the ruins of Bright Peak, and the Qiankun Qi Bag naturally turned to ashes.

"This is troublesome. It will be difficult for Yin Li to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill!" Su Xin frowned and muttered to himself, a ridiculous thought flashing through his mind.

"We can't really put Yin Li underwater and let her use the water pressure to force out her internal energy and break through her bottleneck, can we? But what if we don't control it properly and she drowns?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he immediately cut it off, shook his head, and said with an indifferent expression, "Forget it, let fate decide. Things will work themselves out. There'll always be a way."

He never liked to dwell on things. Since it had already happened, there was no point in being upset anymore, so he might as well not think about it too much.

Su Xin stood with his hands on his hips, gazing into the distance, and began to plan his next move: "Now that I've obtained the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, should I return to the Kunlun Secret Realm and continue my clandestine cultivation?"

But then he thought again and rejected the idea.

"Forget it, the poisonous spiders in the Kunlun Secret Realm have been almost exhausted this time, there's no point in going back, let's go to Wudang Mountain and see what's going on."

In fact, he had already planned it in his heart. His main purpose in going to Wudang Mountain was to have a friendly spar with Zhang Sanfeng.

Now that he has mastered the Vajra Sect martial arts and the Five Poisons Mixed Yuan technique, and has also obtained the Great Shift of the Universe, his strength has already reached the top of the martial arts world. He can't help but wonder how much of a gap there is between his current strength and that of a martial arts legend like Zhang Sanfeng.

"By the way, it would be even better if we could get the Xuanming Divine Palm."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Xin's eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"After all, the Xuanming Divine Palm seems to have significant side effects, right? I've heard that when practicing this martial art, if you encounter someone with stronger internal energy, your moves will backfire. Wouldn't that be considered a side effect?"

As he walked forward, he pondered to himself, then suddenly remembered something, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Wait, when the Nine Yang Divine Skill is cultivated to its peak, there's a problem of energy depletion. Would that be considered a side effect? ​​It seems... not, right?"

He pondered for a moment but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped worrying about it.

"Forget it, whether it counts or not, it's always good to go to Wudang Mountain and join in the fun. Who knows, maybe we'll find something unexpected?"

After all, his special characteristic is that he can only collect martial arts with side effects. The Xuanming Divine Palm, a martial art with obvious risk of backlash, is exactly what he needs.

Even if the Xuanming Divine Palm is not ultimately recognized by the system.

Being able to spar with Zhang Sanfeng would make the trip worthwhile.

After figuring things out, Su Xin's frustration completely dissipated, and his steps became lighter. With carefree strides, he headed towards Wudang Mountain.

His clothes were still covered in dust, but he had a relaxed smile on his face. No one could tell that the devastated ruins behind him and the earth-shattering explosion were actually inextricably linked to this seemingly carefree young man.

His figure walked further and further away into the mountains and forests.

Traveling day and night, Su Xin found a secluded cave to stay temporarily. Taking advantage of the cave's tranquility, he regulated the stagnation in his internal energy left by the frantic run through the secret passage and his fight with Cheng Kun.

After a few days, his internal strength had been restored to its original state, and he was in the best condition.

After recovering properly, Su Xin sat cross-legged, carefully took out the sheepskin from his bosom, and slowly unfolded it.

This is the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth manual that he obtained from the secret passage of Bright Peak at great risk.

There wasn't a single word on the sheepskin, yet it contained the cultivation method for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

Blood is needed for it to become visible.

He stared at the manual for a long time, his fingertips lightly tracing the surface of the paper, muttering to himself, "Why is there no reaction? Could it be that I can't cultivate this Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

"Wait a minute, in the original story, doesn't the Great Shift of the Universe cause qi deviation? Isn't that a side effect?"

Su Xin frowned, his face full of doubt, and after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the reason.

He looked down at his palm, then gazed into the distance outside the cave, and a thought quietly popped into his head: "How about I find someone to donate blood and see if I can trigger a system response?"

As for trying to cut his own blood, he shook his head without even thinking: "There's no need. It's too painful to do it yourself. Wouldn't it be easier to find someone who already has it?"

Having made up his mind, Su Xin put away the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth manual, got up and walked out of the cave, heading towards the town not far away.

People come and go in the small town, so you can always find a suitable "contributor".

But as soon as he stepped into the town's main street, his gaze suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face:

Not far away, next to a tea stall, sat a plump monk wearing a gray robe and carrying a large cloth bag on his back. He was holding a teacup and asking around about something.

"Huh? Isn't this something I can't say?" Su Xin was startled and muttered to himself, "How come he's not dead? Shouldn't he have been buried in the ruins of Bright Peak?"

He quietly walked forward, hid behind a tree, and listened to the conversation between Shuobude and the tea stall owner, gradually understanding the reason.

It turns out that Bright Summit was bombed before they even arrived.

The reason I arrived late was because of some unspeakable little scheme.

It's undeniable that he's always been arrogant, and now his lightness skill is unmatched in the Ming Cult. The former number one, Green Wing Bat King Wei Yixiao, is dead.

He's about to start showing off.
