Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

In one battle, they captured the old rascal Zhou Botong alive.

This was a resounding victory.

After the great victory came the debriefing. After some investigation, Yue selected the person who performed the best in the battle and made the greatest contribution to the victory.

Those were the Divine Eagle and the Bodhi Serpent.

Both were ranked as MVPs.

Yue Que, Xiaolongnu, and Li Mochou, along with the rest of the Ancient Tomb group, essentially won without lifting a finger.

Originally, Yue Que wanted to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, through his deal with Huang Rong, but he never expected that Zhou Botong would follow him because of the Condor Heroes' flight.

Excessive curiosity can really kill a cat.

It would be fine elsewhere, but it just so happens to be near the Sword Tomb of Dugu Qiubai.

It is a place where snakes and eagles coexist.

In addition, a group of members from the Ancient Tomb Sect were gathered here.

In a sense, this place is the Fallen Phoenix Slope of the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, the place where he died.

Because Zhou Botong never imagined that the Divine Condor would possess such immense strength, being a spiritual creature far superior to the two from Guo Jing's family, and he also never knew that there would be many snakes here.

For Yue Que, being able to capture the old rascal so easily was a huge surprise.

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

If he were to make a deal with a female strategist, who knows what he would have to give up? Now that Zhou Botong is in his hands, Yue Que can use those favors for other things.

"Good eagle, brother!"

Yue Que applauded the Divine Condor, giving it ample emotional value. He planned to reward the Condor Brother handsomely when the opportunity arose.

After tossing one of the Bodhi Snakes in his hand to the Divine Condor, Yue Que took the other one and began circling it in front of the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, scaring the Old Urchin so much that he closed his eyes and screamed like a child.

This scene, witnessed by others, revealed Zhou Botong's key weakness.

"Old rascal, I know your ancestral master!"

Seeing that Yue Que had the intention to continue toying with him, Zhou Botong, who had his eyes closed, spoke up directly. At this moment, he had no childish heart at all, only fear.

This is a different experience from Huang Rong scaring herself.

Li Mochou, the Red-Lian Fairy, knows very well who Zhou Botong, the Old Mischievous Boy, is.

Because of the relationship between the founder and Wang Chongyang, Zhou Botong, as Wang Chongyang's junior brother, should have a clear understanding of the Ancient Tomb Sect's situation, especially the direct lineage.

Zhou Botong, of course, also recognized the Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skill.

As someone who still exists today, Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, is the only one who knows the truth about Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang, making him fundamentally different from the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

In a single sentence, Zhou Botong revealed his true intentions.

"..."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Yue Que was already mentally prepared for this.

Seeing that Zhou Botong had revealed this matter in his shock, Yue Que immediately revised his original plan in his mind and said, "Since Old Urchin knows Grandmother Lin Chaoying, shouldn't you return that martial art to the Ancient Tomb now?"

Zhou Botong was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously opened his eyes, asking, "What martial arts?"

"Of course, it's the martial arts your senior brother passed on to you."

Yue Que did not directly name the martial art, but continued to use language to pressure him.

"The Nine Yin Manual?" The name of this martial art immediately came to Zhou Botong's mind, but didn't you already know it?

The old rascal was very puzzled.

"Of course not."

"Your senior brother's relationship with the Ancestral Master is deeper than you imagine. He has long since hidden the complete Nine Yin Manual in the ancient tomb."

"Otherwise, what did you think we used to hit you?"

Yue Que could just spout off whatever came to mind; anyway, the old rascal Zhou Botong had no idea about the inscription on the stone wall.

These words immediately caused Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou, the three disciples, to look at each other in surprise.

As witnesses to the stone wall inscription incident, they all knew that it was just an inscription, and that it was something Wang Chongyang used to counter the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

That Nine Yin Manual is not complete at all.

The three disciples of the Crimson Serpent Fairy obtained the complete book after the Xiangyang incident and when they met Yue Que again.

He was the one who revealed the secrets of the divine skill to the three women.

Compared to her two disciples, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, the Scarlet Serpent Fairy was thinking much more deeply.

Adhering to the principle of "whoever benefits is the most suspicious", Li Mochou felt that the origin of the "Nine Yin Manual" was probably not simple.

The one who benefits the most right now is none other than the great hero Guo Jing.

On second thought, Huang Rong, the current leader of the Beggars' Sect, has the nickname "Female Zhuge Liang".

The Tantric text "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" also came about in a strange way, especially since it even contained commentaries by a high-ranking monk.

Could it be that the master and his nephew are in cahoots?

The Crimson Fairy already had a guess deep down.

Glancing at her aloof junior sister, Li Mochou knew that Xiaolongnu must have been a witness.

There was still a difference in closeness between herself and her junior sister, quite a difference. Thinking of this, Fairy Chilian's mood couldn't help but become somewhat depressed.

"what?"

The old rascal Zhou Botong was bewildered.

Scratching his head, which was itchy from being pressed down by the wings of the Divine Condor, Zhou Botong fell into self-doubt.

What is this senior brother doing?

Unfortunately, his old friend had passed away, and Zhou Botong had no way to ask Wang Chongyang about the origin of the matter.

Even if Zhou Botong was a mischievous child who was ignorant of the ways of the world, he was not a fool.

After thinking it over, he felt that it made a lot of sense, especially since it involved his senior brother Wang Chongyang. He couldn't find any reason to refute it.

If it's not the "Nine Yin Manual", then what is it?

Subconsciously, Zhou Botong began to recall the past.

After ruling out the Nine Yin Manual, there weren't many other things my senior brother Wang Chongyang had given me, and if they were particularly important, then it was only...

This is not only forbidden to view within the Quanzhen School, but it exists as a forbidden text.

Just like the Nine Yin Manual for the Quanzhen School.

If the Nine Yin Manual is literally interpreted as a way to prevent the Quanzhen Sect from bringing disaster upon itself, then the Gate Forbidden Chapter is something that could shake the foundation of the Quanzhen Sect.

Its impact on the Quanzhen School will far exceed that of the Nine Yin Manual.

At this moment, the old rascal Zhou Botong finally remembered the classic text that his senior brother had given him.

The name of that classic text immediately came to Zhou Botong's mind—the Cantongqi!

This is also the fundamental reason why Yue Que couldn't find this even after searching through all the classics of the Quanzhen School.

For his senior brother Wang Chongyang, the Old Mischievous Boy Zhou Botong was, in a sense, a safe haven, though sometimes not.

Nevertheless, he was undoubtedly the person Wang Chongyang trusted most.

In Wang Chongyang's view, his junior brother was much more reliable than his seven disciples.

The Old Rascal Zhou Botong was a man who couldn't hide his expression. Like a child, his expressions were varied and ever-changing, and these were immediately noticed by Yue Que and the others.

"Now……"

"Old rascal, it's time for that ancient text to return to the tomb!"

Tell me, and I'll let you go.

Yue Que observed the changes in Zhou Botong's expression and knew that the other man had remembered what he wanted.

So he slowly extended his hand and invited the old rascal Zhou Botong, saying, "Just tell me, and I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

"We can help you with something related to you then."

We, the Ancient Tomb Sect, are trustworthy in our dealings; if we say we'll kill someone's entire family, we mean it.

Sensing the change in Yue Que's tone and the shift in the atmosphere around him, especially the venomous snake that was almost touching his face, Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, felt fear but also made a decision.

With a slight shift in his eyes, the old rascal Zhou Botong realized that he had discovered these people were intelligent during their brief encounter.

She's not much better than Huang Rong, but she's not far behind.

After all, Huang Rong was the only one who could control Zhou Botong like that before.

Then an idea popped into Zhou Botong's clever mind: he wanted to get revenge for what he had just experienced.

"My senior brother did leave behind this martial art," Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, said, feigning exhaustion after expending considerable mental energy, as he met the gazes of Yue Que and the others. "But I don't think you can learn it!"

Can't learn it?

Apart from Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, the remaining three—Yue Que, Xiaolongnu, and Li Mochou—all seemed to have unremarkable talents, just like their appearances.

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou and her fellow disciple Xiaolongnu were immediately intrigued.

Could it be the innate skill of Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School?

Yue Que, however, seemed to have a guess and said, "Speak!"

So, under the expectant gazes of everyone, the Old Mischievous Boy Zhou Botong spoke slowly.
