Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

"Sigh~~"

"This is what big cities are like; they're really expensive."

As Yue Que walked out of the inn and paid the corresponding compensation, he pondered the money he had left and was quite emotional.

Although Xiangyang was located on the front line, it was still one of the most important cities in the Song Dynasty. Although it could not compare to Lin'an, it was not a small city in the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially due to its environment, prices in Xiangyang are actually higher at this time.

Your unconscious, impulsive action in that room just now resulted in Little Dragon Girl punching you squarely in the chest with her little fists—a classic "beauty punch" was delivered right there.

Her punches were powerful, but she had no idea how to control her strength.

If you act even slightly unconsciously, it can become very heavy.

How could the bed be subjected to such abuse?

Although Yue Que dodged the punch, the bed couldn't.

The reason this scene, which could very well have escalated into a minor battle, was halted was because Yue Que discovered during that process that he had actually begun to learn the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill while studying extensive reading.

He did it on purpose.

After analyzing his situation, Yue Que realized that although his win rate was much higher than before, it was still not enough.

Upon discovering that Yue Que had entered the sect, Xiaolongnu temporarily stopped the "playing" between the two.

She's getting started way too fast!

Could it be that I am a peerless genius, one in ten thousand?

This was the first thought that came to Yue Que's mind after he experienced it.

But after careful consideration, Yue Que realized that he was not like that. During his twelve years in the Quanzhen Sect, he had only focused on building a solid foundation and had not created any extraordinary techniques.

On the contrary, I think it's highly likely that because I have a good physique, and I was able to master the different strengths and weaknesses of the sword, it's not surprising that I was able to learn the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

My physical fitness is quite good, and this is not only reflected in this aspect.

Moreover, this martial art is vastly different in nature from ordinary Buddhist martial arts.

"Besides that, an even bigger reason might be that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu is simply too easy to learn."

This protective divine skill originating from Tantric Buddhism was simpler in its initial stages than Yue Que had imagined. It had virtually no learning curve, and even the most foolish could practice it. What surprised him most was the lack of explicit cryptic language. Of course, this was only in the early stages; the later text had not yet been fully described by the Golden Wheel Monk.

The Golden Wheel Dharma King only wrote up to the seventh level.

It is also possible that the current Golden Wheel Dharma King has only cultivated to the seventh level.

Because after that, there were a bunch of dots drawn with a brush. Clearly, the Golden Wheel Monk himself was in doubt.

As for why the Golden Wheel Monk wrote in Chinese characters instead of Mongolian, Yue Que believed it was because Chinese characters contained more information. Whether for simplicity or encryption, it was the superior choice.

"what?"

"wrong!"

Yue Que, who was strolling towards his destination, suddenly paused, then realized that this martial art originating from Buddhism was indeed quite insidious: "They not only cheat outsiders, but they even cheat their own people, right?"

If you practice well, it means you have sufficient knowledge of Buddhism; if you encounter problems, it means your understanding of the scriptures is insufficient. Then you can enter my Buddhist sect to recite scriptures.

Yue Que suddenly remembered that this esoteric Buddhist protective technique would cause a state of agitation and failure at the seventh or eighth level. Yue Que could explain this by the impatience caused by insufficient lifespan, but the occurrence of demonic possession and qi deviation when cultivating to the tenth level was not quite right.

This involuntarily reminded him of three people who had gone mad while practicing Shaolin martial arts—Kumārajīva, Murong Bo, and Xiao Yuanshan.

"So this martial art..."

"If no one has ever mastered it, then the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill has the same problem as the Great Shift of the Universe, which was ultimately deduced by someone."

"If someone masters it, it means that the Buddhist monk who created or wrote this martial art deliberately added secrets to it."

Yue Que never favored the past over the present. Even though the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels has been declining generation after generation, this view is wrong in the era of The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (the Zhang brothers' works are ridiculously strong, and Huang Yi's works are even weaker in the middle of the Twin Dragons chapter).

"If it's neither of those, then it means someone really did successfully cultivate to the thirteenth level step by step..."

How could a highly virtuous monk who is over a thousand years old be a normal person?

The left punch deals high damage, and the right punch deals high damage.

One punch and the opponent will owe you a portion of the prize money; it's like a martial arts version of "one punch, two pie."

Faced with this kind of person, Yue Que would simply surrender.

There is a saying in Taoism that Peng Zu lived for eight hundred years, which is two hundred years short of the truth.

Regardless, this martial art is truly a perfect match for Yue Que.

You need to practice.

With such divine skills laid out before them, who wouldn't be tempted? And their physical constitutions are perfectly matched.

He decided to practice first, just in case something went wrong later. Yue Que had made a decision: he might need to study Mongolian. Originally, Buddhist scriptures were only part of Yue Que's initial plan, and the Quanzhen School of Taoism practiced Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

However, due to the extraordinary wisdom of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, this plan has been brought forward.

Having formed an idea in mind, Yue Que decided to disregard the Golden Wheel Monk's true motives or whether the other party was overthinking things; acquiring the divine skill would be a huge gain.

Yue Que then composed himself and headed towards the place where he had previously hidden the silver.

Because Madam Guo's confidant had already contacted Yue Que.

……

"how?"

Inside the room, Xiaolongnu, who was engrossed in studying the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill with a calligraphy brush in one hand, couldn't help but look up and glance at Yue Que, who had just entered, and asked.

"The silver has already been handed over to the Beggars' Sect."

Holding a brocade box in his hands, Yue Que strolled over to Xiaolongnu's side. He first glanced at it and noticed that some delicate characters had been added to the scroll of the manual. After a closer look, Yue Que realized that this was her own interpretation: "Oh? It seems that Long'er has also entered the realm of the manual."

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill never stated that women could not practice it.

"Hmm!"

Xiaolongnu nodded. As Yue Que was studying the manual, she unconsciously began to learn the basics, which had a significant impact on her.

To prevent any accidents, Xiaolongnu resolutely chose to cultivate.

This was originally an overflow of their love game, and she didn't want to lose at all.

"Then we all need to work hard!"

Yue Que was not surprised to see this. In fact, it was possible that Xiaolongnu had already subconsciously followed the route to transfer her internal energy while she was looking at the manual, but she just didn't say it.

Little Dragon Girl nodded in agreement, saying, "We must try!"

She understood the meaning behind Yue Que's words because both of them felt that the Golden Wheel Monk might be practicing incorrectly.

Therefore, in order for one person not to turn into a steamed bun and for the other not to turn into a pig-tailed monkey, they must find a cultivation method suitable for both of them.

"By the way, Que'er, what's that in your hand?" Coming back to her senses, Xiaolongnu focused her gaze on the brocade box in Yue Que's hand. The box was quite luxurious, and it was made up of some small mechanisms, making it look like an exquisite trinket.

"This is the reward that Madam Guo sent!"

Yue Que was a little surprised that Huang Rong had prepared and delivered the reward in advance, but upon closer reflection, he felt that it wasn't so surprising.

He already possessed a portion of the Nine Yin Manual, and because of the Quanzhen Master Wang Chongyang and his wife, the Nine Yin Manual seemed to be everywhere.

In particular, almost everyone owns a copy of the Five Greats series.

Unsure of how much information Yue Que and Xiao Longnv had acquired, Huang Rong didn't make any underhanded moves.

Therefore, the Nine Yin Manual, which had been prepared in advance, ended up in Yue Que's hands when he handed over the silver to her trusted confidante in the Beggars' Sect.

The problem is—

This brocade box is actually an insurance mechanism.

It is full of Peach Blossom Island style.

The Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, and other secret techniques were all used on this brocade box.

Looking at the security measures on the brocade box, Yue Que sensed the wicked humor of the enchantress from Jiangnan, as if someone was pointing at him and laughing secretly in a dark corner.

After some research, Yue Que was speechless.

It really takes some effort to solve the tricks on this.

But Yue Que had absolutely no desire to suffer mentally.

Amidst the snickers, Yue Que made his choice.

His wisdom told him that he should use the power of the dragon and elephant.

Gold-threaded gloves on hands.

Then, clench your fist.

With an air of nonchalance, Bangbang delivered two punches to the brocade box.

The brocade box was torn apart by a tremendous force, exploding into two halves. The mechanisms scattered everywhere, revealing the booklets laid out inside.

It was Huang Rong who personally wrote down the complete Nine Yin Manual from memory.

Opening the discarded brocade box, Yue Que picked up the book and flipped through it, finally focusing his gaze on the general outline at the very end.

"Tsk!"

"Beautiful handwriting!"

"Sanskrit?"

"It seems that just mastering Mongolian will not be enough in the future; we'll also need to learn Sanskrit!"

"Madam Guo is truly a woman of great learning."

This was Madam Guo's real little trick, a way to retaliate against Yue Que's extreme verbal pressure on her.

Yue Que couldn't say anything about this, because this was the true original.

Even if Huang Shang came, everyone would have to admit it.
