Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Shocked as I am.

Yue Que quickly recovered from his daze at the fact that the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra could be practiced by three people together, and listened attentively to Xiaolongnu's words, afraid of missing anything he hadn't heard.

After half a year in the Ancient Tomb, Yang Guo had long lost his unruly nature, and Yue Que had lost the arrogance often associated with transmigrators. The two brothers were so sensible that it was heartbreaking.

However, at this moment, the two brothers' mindset underwent a huge change.

Aside from the Toad Stance taught to him by his adoptive father Ouyang Feng, Yang Guo's martial arts skills consisted mainly of knowledge from classical texts he learned from Huang Rong on Peach Blossom Island; he didn't acquire any real martial arts skills. He spent less than a year at the Quanzhen Sect, mastering only the most basic introductory level of Quanzhen internal energy cultivation techniques, but he didn't learn any specific moves.

Because of his identity, Yang Guo was discriminated against in the Quanzhen Sect. His master, Zhao Zhijing, only taught him the mental techniques and not the physical moves.

Yue Que, who knew Yang Guo's identity, did not discriminate against him and treated Yang Guo as an equal. He even secretly taught Yang Guo Quanzhen swordsmanship and lightness skills.

These were things that Yang Guo had never experienced before, and were fundamentally different from those of his Uncle Guo Jing.

It was this brotherly affection that prevented Yang Guo, who was petty and vengeful, from harboring much ill will towards his senior brother Yue Que.

Of course, mutual sabotage is another matter.

Although he said he had no intention of betraying the sect, his time at the Ancient Tomb Sect was a mixed blessing, as he learned a lot of martial arts.

While memorizing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, Yang Guo did not forget the characteristics of his senior brother and had already developed a psychological defense against this sutra, which was known as the most superior martial art in the Ancient Tomb.

Yang Guo had never heard of a sect leader teaching the sect's most advanced secret techniques to a disciple who had only been with the sect for half a year.

Doesn't this take into account the character of the disciples under their tutelage?

Yang Guo felt there were only three reasons for this: either the Ancient Tomb Sect had a problem, the martial art itself had a problem, or Xiaolongnu herself had a problem.

Having witnessed the madness of Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy, Yang Guo, reflecting on his experiences over the past six months, felt that it was more likely that his "aunt," Xiaolongnu, had a serious problem.

Yang Guo thought it would be better to let his senior brother Yue try it first.

Leaving aside Yang Guo's changing mindset, Yue Que was also pondering the contents of the secret manual dictated by Xiaolongnu while silently memorizing it.

In Yue Que's view, the situation was progressing too quickly.

Although Yue Que intended to speed things up, he didn't expect to learn the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra in just half a year. He was now pondering how long Yang Guo stayed in the Ancient Tomb in the original story before he learned the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

The only certainty is not the present moment.

Keep in mind that Yang Guo is only fourteen years old at the time. Is this martial arts skill really something that Yang Guo can learn at this age?

Even if we were to be a little more lenient with time, Yang Guo's stay in the Ancient Tomb in the original novel would not exceed the number of years he spent in the tomb... Thinking of this, Yue Que glanced at Xiaolongnu out of the corner of his eye, feeling as if he were looking at a perverted woman.

It's certain that Xiaolongnu is older than Yue Que, but her exact age is uncertain. Yue Que is currently only sixteen years old.

Thinking of this, Yue Que couldn't help but look at his junior brother Yang Guo with a hint of admiration.

Who would have thought that a romantic rogue with the potential to be a minor Liu Bei was actually a pure-hearted person?

Yang Guo understands what contrast is.

At this moment, Yue Que had a vague feeling deep inside: Did many people in The Return of the Condor Heroes have unknown contrasts?

Yang Guo was like that.

The same applies to Little Dragon Girl.

What a wonderful couple!

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Little Dragon Girl has already dictated part of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra; she hasn't revealed the entirety of it. Too much is as bad as too little; it needs to be done little by little.

"First, memorize and figure out the energy circulation route..."

Xiaolongnu's gaze lingered on Yang Guo for a long while, until Yang Guo was almost tingling with fear, before she turned her head and fixed her gaze on Yue Que's face, as if trying to see something out of him. Just when Yue Que was about to succumb to the pressure, Xiaolongnu finally spoke, making her decision, saying, "Two days later, I will begin instructing A-Que."

After saying this, Little Dragon Girl got up and gracefully left.

In the instant they turned around, Yue Que and Yang Guo both seemed to see a fleeting glimpse of blood on each other's pale, bloodless faces.

The speed was so fast that it made people momentarily think it was an illusion.

Is that shyness?

Coming to their senses, Yue Que and Yang Guo looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long silence, Yang Guo suddenly murmured, "A-Que?"

The words sent a chill down Yue Que's spine.

It should be noted that in the past six months, Yue Que had never heard Xiaolongnu address him in this way, and "Guo'er" was merely a flattering term used by Yang Guo to appease her.

His tone was as indifferent as ever, but the warmth conveyed by those two words was overwhelming.

But Yue Que really didn't dare to accept this kind of intimacy.

Meeting Yang Guo's slightly pitying gaze, Yue Que didn't quite understand why he had won. In terms of appearance, Yue Que considered himself to be slightly inferior to Yang Guo, and he didn't have the alluring fragrance that could make women's hearts flutter.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Guo would be the first choice.

Could it be because he has practiced authentic Xuanmen internal martial arts for twelve years?

"wrong!"

"Could it be that she's trying to be a big shot and not make a choice, but wants it all?"

An image of a clenched fist flashed through his mind, and the thought took root as soon as it arose. Pulling his thoughts back, Yue Que sensed the pity in Yang Guo's eyes and said irritably, "Junior brother, do you think you can escape?"

After saying this, Yue Que patted Yang Guo's shoulder earnestly, stepped past his junior brother, and walked with his head down towards his room.

"???"

Yang Guo was completely baffled, only feeling that there was a secret between his senior brother and aunt that he was unaware of for the time being.

So where exactly is the problem?

Unable to arrive at a conclusion, Yang Guo thought that the results might be available in two days.

A somber mood settled over him, and Yang Guo returned to his room with a serious expression. After examining the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra he had memorized, he found nothing wrong. However, despite this, Yang Guo dared not practice it on his own. Instead, he kept it to himself and began to cultivate the Quanzhen Internal Energy step by step.

Back in his room, Yue Que threw himself onto the stone bed, burying himself in the straw, completely bewildered.

The ideas I had come up with earlier all came to nothing, and I never expected that I would become the first person to want to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra with Little Dragon Girl.

Suddenly, the situation escalated to the point where Yue Que needed to get involved himself.

Two days later, how should Yue Que face this?

Yue Que knew that this was not a romantic encounter at all, but rather that Xiaolongnu had likely encountered a problem while cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, which was why she hurriedly passed it on to him and Yang Guo.

She needs a man to help her cope with the situation.

More importantly, Xiaolongnu needs a man who is willing to die for her.

But Yue Que didn't want to.

Yang Guo... seemed unwilling as well.
