Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

The sun was blazing, and the sky was cloudless.

The journey to Zhongnan Mountain was not lonely at all; it was quite lively.

Some people are mentoring newcomers, some are spinning tops, and some are being whipped.

Some people even gathered together to study the secret manuals they brought out from the Valley of Heartbreak, figuring out how to make these manuals work for their own use.

Among them, the Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique is indeed outstanding, because the technique of combining swords and sabers is extremely rare in the world, and those who can produce it are at least first-class masters.

Not to mention that users who wield both swords and sabers often suffer from bad luck, this martial art is actually very difficult to master.

In Yue Que's view, this martial art was, in a sense, specifically designed for those who had mastered the art of ambidextrous fighting.

Unfortunately, those who have mastered the art of ambidextrous fighting often do not need it.

The sword and saber techniques resulting from the Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique were not particularly outstanding. Yue Que valued the sword techniques that utilized the characteristics of the black sword more than the saber techniques. This was because the black sword, which resembled a soft sword, employed extremely masculine saber techniques, a style where the sword moved with saber techniques and the saber moved with sword forms.

The black sword's unique properties make it both defensive and offensive.

She is the Crimson Serpent Fairy who is very suitable for using the whisk to perform the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.

As for the acupoint-closing technique... it is quite effective, but the way it is practiced and how it can be broken makes this martial art seem rather ridiculous.

Even Xiaolongnu, who used to only eat honey and fruit, looked down on this.

However, some characteristics of the closed-acupoint technique can be absorbed and used as a foundation for ancient tombs.

What truly captivated the eye was the Iron Palm Kung Fu passed down from the Qiu family.

This unique skill that made Qiu Qianren famous throughout the world was passed down by Qiu Qianchi to Gongsun Zhi and placed in the Gongsun family's collection. It can only be said that Qiu Qianchi truly regarded herself as a daughter-in-law of the Gongsun family.

This Iron Palm technique is no less powerful than the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and may even be more powerful. It is known as the most powerful and fierce among the various schools of martial arts.

Iron Palm Skill is the top-tier martial art that Qiu Qianren used to lead the Iron Palm Clan to intimidate the martial arts world, cripple the Hengshan Sect, and even contend with the Five Greats.

Its only weakness is its unpleasant name; it doesn't even sound as good as the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber.

If you don't know about it, you might just think that this palm technique is as ordinary as its name.

The Iron Palm technique is comparable to the Five Great Arts, which is like a pure powerhouse suddenly appearing among a group of mechanisms. You have to be careful.

This is the Iron Palm Kung Fu.

"sharp!"

As Yue Que perused the manual, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This must be the most powerful palm technique I have ever seen."

As the number one sect in the world, Quanzhen Sect naturally also has palm techniques, such as the Frost-Treading and Ice-Breaking Palm Technique.

However, this palm technique has a requirement: one needs sufficiently profound internal energy to learn it, and it belongs to the Yin-style. But since my internal energy is already profound enough, I may not need this palm technique anymore.

As for the palm technique within the sect, there seems to be another technique called Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, which is related to the Frost-Treading and Ice-Breaking Palm Technique, but these are all just rumors. If Three Flowers Gathering at the Top truly exists, then only Zhou Botong could possibly know it.

"Indeed!" As Xiaolongnu turned her slender hand, she subconsciously struck out with a palm according to the Iron Palm technique, which was also an expression of her agreement.

"It lives up to its reputation!"

After observing for a long time, Fairy Chilian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At that time, the Iron Palm Lotus in the cave had all four limbs crippled. If she had been intact, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the Five Poisons Divine Palm alone in the past."

Li Mochou calmly admitted that she was not as good as she used to be.

His own Five Poison Palm technique alone is no match for a unique skill that has been passed down for over a hundred years.

Although the Five Poison Palm is a palm technique, it relies more on poison.

Perhaps because of Qiu Qianren, who altered the original training method of the Iron Palm Technique, he used poison to refine the palm power. When exchanging blows, it's hard to say whether the Iron Palm Technique or the Five Poison Divine Palm is more poisonous, but the Iron Palm Technique is definitely the one with greater force.

However, if the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is added, then it's hard to say whether the Five Poisons Divine Palm can defeat the Iron Palm Skill.

This is why the Red Serpent Fairy does not acknowledge the present situation.

"However, this Iron Palm technique is very suitable for our Ancient Tomb Sect."

Upon seeing the record of refining palm power with poison, the Red Serpent Fairy couldn't help but rejoice. Apart from Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, there were few in the world who could surpass her in the art of using poison.

Moreover, Li Mochou didn't just use poison to refine her palm power when she was cultivating; she also used poison to stimulate her entire body to cultivate her internal energy, which is why her body is now overly sensitive.

Once she mastered the Iron Palm Technique, she was like a mouse falling into a rice bucket.

The Red Serpent Fairy could confidently say that, apart from Qiu Qianren, no one in the world knew better than her how to cultivate the Iron Palm Technique.

Thus, Li Mochou began to conceive of how to combine Iron Palm Skill, Five Poison Palm, and Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

If done right, even the Red Serpent Fairy dares to say that even the great hero Guo Jing wouldn't dare to directly take her palm strikes.

Upon hearing their master mention this, Yue Que and Xiaolongnu exchanged a glance and immediately became interested.

……

If we were to ask who was the happiest in the group, it would undoubtedly be Gongsun Lü'e.

The girl, who had never left the Valley of Heartbreak before, followed her sect out, feeling like a child entering the city for the first time. The same sky, the same land, the same people, all brought Gongsun Lü'e a unique experience.

Even following Senior Sister Hong Lingbo to cultivate Ancient Tomb martial arts and the Nine Yin Manual was a unique experience.

The tree, the flower, the grass, the water, the wind.

Everything was so different from what was happening in the Valley of Heartbreak.

And... um, is that the rumored beggar?

There are no beggars in the Valley of Heartbreak.

In that instant, the pent-up emotion hidden deep within Gongsun Lü'e's heart erupted. The supposedly refined and cultured young lady could not suppress the madness that resided within her.

After all, no matter what, Gongsun Lü'e was the daughter of Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi.

After unleashing the impulses that had been simmering within her for over a decade, Gongsun Lü'e's attention was quickly drawn to what the others in her sect were discussing.

Upon closer listening, it turned out to be a scheme to artificially create extraordinary encounters for someone, and Gongsun Lü'e immediately became interested.

"Master!"

First, she respectfully bowed to Xiaolongnu, then Gongsun Lü'e politely greeted everyone else present, raising a slender finger before speaking, "This disciple has an idea!"

As soon as Gongsun Lü'e said this, the other four women instinctively leaned back, and then they all turned their gazes to Yue Que.

"?"

Yue Que glanced at his junior sister and thought to himself, "When I named the Love Flower Thorn before, you provided emotional value for them on behalf of your senior brother. Now you're even trying to steal this one?"

However, Yue Que became interested and gestured like a mentor: "Junior sister, please state your thoughts."

As they nodded, everyone sat upright on the rock like judges on The Voice of China, their eyes fixed on Gongsun Lü'e, eagerly awaiting an answer that would make them want to bang on the table and turn around.

Then Gongsun Lü'e enthusiastically presented everyone with a plan that astonished everyone.

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone with a blush on her face and expectant eyes, seemingly very satisfied with her idea and waiting for praise from her sect.

"This one..."

The first to speak was Xiaolongnu, who commented in a master's tone, "Lü'e, aren't your requirements too strict?"

Even when teaching Yue Que and Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu didn't just demonstrate her martial arts once; she would demonstrate it at least two or three times.

In Gongsun Lü'e's plan, Huo Du was left with only one path: a path that followed step by step with no other choice.

Lu Wushuang raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, while Hong Lingbo couldn't help but pinch her brow.

The Red Serpent Fairy frowned and pondered for a moment. She first looked at Gongsun Lü'e, then at her junior sister Xiaolongnu. The master and disciple were quite similar in some ways.

Gongsun Lü'e had never left the Valley of Heartbreak before, while her junior sister had never left the Ancient Tomb.

However, the methods that Xiaolongnu used on a whim were probably beyond Gongsun Lü'e's imagination.

Even my junior sister couldn't hold back.

This is pure armchair theorizing.

Li Mochou glanced at Yue Que, but didn't offer any opinion, wanting to see what her junior disciple would say.

"Strategy isn't about calculating every step perfectly; that's not human, that's a deity, that's destiny."

"Junior sister!"

Yue Que roughly understood Gongsun Lü'e's situation and said, "You didn't just imagine yourself as Zhuge Liang from the folk tales, did you?"

Because in the present day, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has already begun to show signs of being deified in folk tales.

He was incredibly insightful and his plans were always flawless.

This is the true image of a strategist plotting against people in the mind of a well-educated and sensible young lady.

In fact...

There is a stark contrast between these two.

Like a fake business war: suits and ties, high-IQ crimes, strategic planning, and stock market battles.

Real business battles involve: seizing company seals, pouring boiling water on money trees, blocking doors, and making people fly dirt planes.

The Fictional 5.7 Air Combat: A-to-B missiles, electronic suppression, system-of-systems warfare, and beyond-visual-range dogfights.

Realistic 5.7 air combat: Take off, fly up, drop missiles, and then go home. Pure missiles and radar are powerful.

A deceptive strategy: To be so prescient as to have a perfect plan.

The real plan: Invite you to dinner, then smash a glass as a signal!

In reality, the best way to succeed is to go with the flow and take advantage of a person's weaknesses.

The more ingenious a plan is, the more likely it is to fail.
