Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

The chaotic battle eventually came to an end.

Especially after Yue Que joined in with the Divine Condor, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, the two sisters, also got involved.

Amidst the chaos, the Ancient Tomb Sect once again held an internal martial arts exchange event.

This time was different, however, because of the immense external pressure, it felt just like any other day.

After a series of rankings, the oldest, Fairy Chilian, was still ranked first. However, even though she had more than twelve years of experience than her junior sister and used the Five Poisons Secret Technique to stimulate her internal energy with poison, she was still much weaker than the Cold Jade Bed.

With Yue Que and Xiaolongnu cultivating together, Xiaolongnu's skill level was now almost on par with hers.

"It's mostly the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra..."

Upon realizing this, Li Mochou felt quite frustrated, and her gaze towards Yue Que held an indescribable sense of hesitation and contradiction.

Yue Que is currently ranked third.

Hong Lingbo ranked fourth, while Lu Wushuang was at the very bottom.

The Divine Eagle was excluded.

Of course, apart from Hong Lingbo, everyone else here probably has something to hide.

It's hard to say whether it's a matter of life or death, but one thing is for sure: Hong Lingbo will be the first to be eliminated.

She is a rare treasure among the Ancient Tomb Sect.

No one said anything about the result, and no one thought it was unexpected.

To the surprise of the four women, Divine Eagle joined them.

"That's how I met my junior brother Yang Guo back in Quanzhen Sect."

Facing the gazes of everyone, Yue Que decided to use an example that everyone could understand to explain.

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously showed expressions of sudden realization; it seemed that Brother Condor was of a higher generation than Yang Guo.

Another feeling is that it looks like we're going to have to cut corners on carving again.

Among them, Xiaolongnu's gaze towards the Divine Condor was filled with astonishment. Could it possibly have such abilities?

After briefly setting aside the question about the Divine Condor, Yue Que brought up the secret he had discovered in the Quanzhen Sect's scriptures again, which was the Divine Condor's food—the Bodhi Snake.

The Quanzhen Sect, once the greatest sect in the world founded by the Central Divine, was truly effective in making pots.

"It is said that this snake is a strange beast, whose gall bladder is of great use. After consuming it, one will immediately feel refreshed and have greatly increased strength."

"This is a secret story found in the Buddhist scriptures of the Quanzhen School."

As soon as the words were spoken, the four women all turned their gazes to the pile of dead snakes not far ahead.

A large part of this was done by the Condor Heroes, while the rest was the work of the Red Serpent Fairy and her two disciples.

The reason the three of them were previously whipped with tops was because the master and his disciples wanted to kill the snake and capture the eagle.

After all, the Divine Eagle is an extremely rare creature.

Even compared to the two white eagles raised by Guo Jing and his wife, it was far inferior. Seeing such a wondrous creature naturally filled them with delight.

The Condor Heroes tilted its head: "???"

Are these humans here for my food?

After Hong Lingbo brought over several snake corpses, he drew his junior sister Lu Wushuang's curved knife, made an incision in the snake corpses, removed the snake gallbladders, and placed them in front of everyone.

Staring intently at the deep purple snake gall, still emitting heat and a fishy smell, everyone was mesmerized.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for the first person to speak.

Yue Que knew this, and he stopped the Divine Eagle from eating it. Just as he was about to take the snake gall, the Crimson Serpent Fairy made her move.

Li Mochou was faster than Xiaolongnu and took the snake gall in her hand.

His gaze first lingered on his junior sister, Xiaolongnu, then glanced at his disciple, Lu Wushuang, before finally settling on Yue Que. He said, "Nephew, your uncle believes in you!"

At the same time, Li Mochou deliberately glanced at it out of the corner of her eye.

"Besides, I have been practicing the Five Poisons Secret Technique for a long time, so ordinary poisons are nothing to me."

After saying that, he swallowed the snake gall bladder in one gulp.

The Crimson Fairy's bright and beautiful face remained unchanged. As soon as the snake gall entered her mouth, she began to savor it carefully.

"The taste is alright, but the smell is unpleasant."

After swallowing it, Li Mochou began to circulate her internal energy in front of everyone. After a while, she opened her eyes again and said, "Slightly poisonous, but it is indeed effective."

Seeing this, Hong Lingbo immediately peeled open the snake carcass again and took out four snake gallbladders, placing them in front of him.

Then Yue Que, Xiaolongnu, Hong Lingbo, and Lu Wushuang each put one in their mouths.

As soon as the four of them put the snake gall into their mouths, they saw the usually calm Scarlet Fairy's face contort into a grimace as she began to gag.

The four people: "..."

Their expressions all twisted, especially Xiaolongnu, who had always loved honey. Even with her aloof demeanor, she couldn't help but furrow her brow.

After swallowing it whole and circulating their internal energy, everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.

Yue Que found the phrase "spirited and alert" very interesting.

How could it not be straightforward?

A large part of it is stimulated by the smell, just like with Tiger Balm.

In the end, Yue Que took out the honey he always carried with him, which helped to cleanse everyone's palate.

The eagle, standing to one side, looked at this group and that group, finding them both intriguing and quite amusing.

After being soothed by Yue Que, the Divine Condor finally put aside its conflict and led the group to a deep valley, arriving at the place where Dugu Qiubai had once hidden.

Although it was only two years, Yue Que, who had graduated from the Ancient Tomb, was not lacking in this ability, as was his junior brother Yang Guo.

Under Xiaolongnu's tutelage, Yue Que and Yang Guo, the two brothers, became adept at providing ample emotional value to others.

No matter what, this divine eagle is no more difficult to deal with than my aunt.

Now that his aunt has been comforted by Yue Que, how much more so would a giant eagle?

……

Sword Tomb.

The place where the master of the Divine Eagle buried his sword.

Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai!

When the girls saw Canke, they immediately learned of the name of this man who was known as the one who sought defeat.

Something seemed to remain in the traces. As martial arts fanatics, typical of the Ancient Tomb Sect disciples, they hesitated and began to explore the traces themselves, with Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou becoming particularly engrossed.

Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, lacking sharp eyesight, were the first to regain their senses. After exchanging a glance, they followed Yue Que and Shen Diao in their direction.

Yue Que, led by Shen Diao, arrived at the Hidden Sword Land.

"Sharp and fierce, invincible, I used it to contend with the heroes of Hebei before I reached adulthood!"

"What a fine sword!"

Yue Que took out a sharp sword that shimmered with a blue light that he had buried, flicked it lightly with his fingers and listened to the sword's hum, and couldn't help but praise it.

This was the best sword he had ever seen; the sword he had obtained from Lu Qingdu could now be retired. Having that Quanzhen sword in his hand was never truly safe.

If there had been better weapons available at the time, Yue Que would not have wanted to use it.

Because that sword would reveal the truth about Lu Qingdu's death.

The death of Lu Qingdu is a fact, but it cannot be presented in front of other members of the Quanzhen Sect.

Apart from Zhao Zhijing, as long as the others don't reveal their true intentions, the situation can still be stalemate.

Sheathing his sword, Yue Que placed the sharp blade aside and then opened another burial site for the sword.

There was no sword, only a stone slab.

"The Purple Rose Soft Sword was used before the age of thirty. It was used to accidentally injure a righteous man, which was considered unlucky, so it was abandoned in a deep valley. Since this sword was abandoned in the deep valley, it is not in the sword tomb, but is represented by a stone shard!"

Yue Que then recited the words above.

These words left Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang stunned and speechless.

Taking a quick glance at Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou who were following behind, Yue Que opened the third burial site, revealing a heavy black iron sword inside.

"A heavy sword has no edge, true skill lies in simplicity; before the age of forty, I relied on it to dominate the world!"

Yue Que casually raised the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword in one hand, and with a casual swing, he used the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, even creating a few beautiful sword flowers. The effortless handling of the heavy sword seemed effortless in his hands.

After playing with it for a while, Yue Que finally put the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword aside.

Then they opened the last sword tomb.

There was no sword inside, but rather half of a wooden sword that had long since rotted away.

"After the age of forty, one is no longer attached to material things; grass, trees, bamboo, and stones can all be swords. From then on, one refines one's skills and gradually progresses to the realm where having no sword is better than having a sword."

When Yue Que said this, he was genuinely moved.

This wasn't just something I was saying to them, but also something I was saying to myself.

After a long while, Yue Que finally came to his senses and said, "This is what Brother Diao has brought us."

"Were the greatest gains the sword and the snake?" the Crimson Serpent Fairy asked. "Those were indeed great gains!"

"No!"

Yue Que shook his head, denying it, saying, "The biggest gain was Brother Eagle!"

Xiaolongnu nodded in agreement, then uttered a phrase she had casually picked up from Yue Que: "Indeed!"

"..."

After arranging the swords, Yue Que said, "I told you I wouldn't keep them all to myself in the ancient tomb."

"Because we are not safe after what happened in Xiangyang."

"So these things need to be arranged."

"How should these be allocated?"

Little Dragon Girl merely toyed with the sharp sword and the heavy Xuan Tie sword for a moment before putting them down and saying, "Que'er, just give me that Quanzhen sword!"

Having also played with it for a while, the Crimson Serpent Fairy noticed her junior sister's gaze. She then made her own choice, brandishing her whisk and saying, "I don't need this when I'm traveling the world."

Because she transformed the Jade Maiden Sword Technique into the Silver Thread Dust-Sweeping Skill, the Crimson Serpent Fairy was not very used to using a sword.

Junior sister doesn't want it; how can she, as the senior sister, be at a disadvantage?

Amidst the exchange of glances between the two female disciples, Hong Lingbo, who had almost been thrown into a state of shock by the words "I won't keep it all to myself," snapped back to reality. She merely glanced enviously at the two divine weapons, then drew her own twin swords from her back, fiddled with them for a moment, and finally said, "I have twin swords!"

Then Hong Lingbo continued to stare intently at Yue Que in silence, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.

Then the destination of these two divine weapons was found.

Even though Lu Wushuang used a knife, she couldn't help but think about divine weapons at this moment, and her gaze subconsciously fell on the cyan sword.

Then Yue Que picked up the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and tossed it to Lu Wushuang, saying, "This is for you, Junior Sister Lu Wushuang!"

Snapped! ! !

"???"

Subconsciously taking the heavy black iron sword weighing eighty-one pounds, Lu Wushuang stumbled and fell to the ground.

Scrambling to her feet, Lu Wushuang glared angrily at Yue Que.

"Yue Que, you bastard, are you even human?"

The thought of a cripple who wields a knife using an eighty-one-pound Xuan Tie Heavy Sword was too much for Lu Wushuang to bear, and he immediately cursed out loud.

Even that night in the ancient tomb, she had never been so speechless.
