Cao Cao's soul transmigrates into Murong Fu's body

Cao Cao carefully controlled the direction of his internal energy flow, which can be considered as drawing inspiration from Kumārajīva's reverse-flowing route.

In addition, there was his own summary, as well as a fragment of the general outline of the Six Meridians Divine Sword from his collection of books.

After combining all of these, Cao Cao's internal energy began to break through one of the six meridians!

"Zhongchong Sword!"

Cao Cao spent a day and a night concentrating his efforts and finally broke through the barrier.

Among the Six Meridian Divine Swords, the Zhongchong Sword is cultivated first, and the reason is something that all men understand.

The power of the Zhongchong sword is much stronger than that of the Shaoze sword of Kumārajīva, and most importantly, it has other wonderful uses when fighting in battle.

"He mastered the Zhongchong Sword in a day. Although its power was only average, he could use it whenever he wanted. Duan Yu's Six Meridian Divine Sword, whether it was the Shaoze Sword or the Zhongchong Sword, was unreliable and only looked good but was useless!"

Cao Cao also talked to Duan Yu, saying that although Duan Yu knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he couldn't use it skillfully.

Moreover, because it was memorized by rote, I haven't had time to think about it carefully, so it will take some time to truly master it.

"That's enough with the Zhongchong sword!"

Cao Cao began to ponder the Flaming Blade again. The Flaming Blade of the Tantric sect was definitely more powerful than the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and it was also much easier to cultivate.

It is not necessary to connect the meridians of the acupoints at the fingertips, but to concentrate internal force into the shape of a knife. The most important thing is to control the materialization of internal force.

Having gained experience in cultivating the Six Meridians Divine Sword, Cao Cao was adept at controlling his inner force to condense a flame blade, a palm-sized blade forming in his palm.

"Go!" The flame blade, which had been gathering power halfway through its attack, suddenly dissipated, its power immediately diminishing, as if it had fled halfway through the battle.

The internal force has not been sufficiently condensed and materialized!

"It's easy to condense a flame blade, but difficult to control it."

Cao Cao unleashed his Flaming Blade several more times, exhausting himself to the point of collapse before he could barely control its flight.

Reducing the wear and tear on the flame blade during flight is extremely important.

What if we increase the consumption of internal energy, or fail to fly out?

During the break, A'Zhu, who was disguised as Xiao Feng, brought some delicious food to share.

"My lord, let's rest for a while before continuing our cultivation."

"Isn't this supposed to be Master Xiao? How dare you personally deliver the food!"

"I, Xiao Feng, have already pledged allegiance to the Murong family. As my lord, what is there for Young Master Murong to be unable to accept?"

Not only was A'Zhu's attire convincing, but her tone and expressions were also very similar. Unless you fought with this fake Xiao Feng, you wouldn't know it was a disguise!

"Haha, A'Zhu, stop pretending. Tonight we're going to infiltrate the Shaolin Temple. Remember, you absolutely mustn't make a move. Just follow my instructions!"

"Yes, my lord!" It was Cao Cao's idea to disguise A'Zhu as Xiao Feng. He planned to infiltrate Shaolin Temple not only to check the situation, but also to see Xiao Feng's mentor, Master Xuanku.

Rumors say that Xiao Feng has already killed his adoptive parents, and next up is his mentor, Master Xuanku.

Xuan Ku, as a senior monk of the Xuan generation, held a very high position in Shaolin Temple. However, in recent years, he has been studying Buddhism and has gradually become marginalized.

"A-Zhu, do you think the Flame Blade could be used in close combat?"

It was too boring for Cao Cao to cultivate alone. Now that he had a subordinate who looked like Xiao Feng serving him tea and water, Cao Cao felt like he had returned to the time when he subdued Guan Yu.

At that time, Guan Yu reluctantly joined Cao Cao's camp, and Cao Cao genuinely liked Guan Yu.

It was because Cao Cao had the ability to recognize talent that he knew Guan Yu was no ordinary person.

As expected, Guan Yu had become a god-like figure by this time.

Xiao Feng also shares a similarity with Guan Yu: unparalleled loyalty and righteousness!

"Flaming Blade!" Cao Cao's Flaming Blade materialized into the shape of a battle blade, igniting a raging fire in his hand, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

With his nimble footwork, Cao Cao slashed down with his sword, breaking not only the nearby wood but also turning it to dust.

"My lord, the flame blade is incredibly powerful in close combat. If it's launched into the air, its power will be diminished, and it will become uncontrollable. If you hold it in your hand, wouldn't you be carrying a divine weapon with you at all times?"

Cao Cao did not carry a sword. Firstly, there was no sword that Cao Cao would be interested in, since at that time Cao Cao was a man who possessed all kinds of powerful weapons.

The Seven Star Saber, the Qinggang Sword, and the Heaven-Reliant Sword—each one is renowned throughout the world.

Now, Cao Cao has shifted all his affections to provisions, equipment, and assassins, while he no longer cares about any treasures or valuables, and he doesn't even have a suitable weapon.

Cao Cao could not only condense sword energy, but he could also draw his treasured sword at any time.

As the skill with the Flame Blade increases, the materialized blade will also become more and more powerful.

"A'Zhu, you're right. I already have the Six Meridian Divine Sword as a ranged attack method, and I can use the Flame Blade for close combat. Since I can't control it, I'll keep it under my control!"

"Zhongchong Sword!"

"Flaming Blade!"

Cao Cao's martial arts talent was unmatched. Under the Six Meridians Divine Sword, an invisible sword aura first attacked the wooden stake in the distance.

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao arrived swiftly, wielding a blazing flaming sword. With a single stroke, the wooden stake instantly turned into a burning ember.

Cao Cao's attack was so powerful that even a master would have no way to counter it, let alone anyone else.

In just three days, Cao Cao mastered the Flaming Blade and the Six Meridians Divine Sword at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, giving him even more confidence to roam the Shaolin Temple.

"A-Zhu, has your sister A-Zi been calmed down?"

"Yes, Ah Zi has been staying indoors lately, seemingly practicing unparalleled martial arts. My lord, did you authorize this?"

"Azi has always lived in the Xingxiu Sect, where the strong are respected. Azi is already the lowest-ranking junior sister. Not only is she not taken care of, but she is also bullied in various ways. That's why Azi stole the Divine Wood King Cauldron to cultivate the Dissolving Power Technique!"

"Isn't the Dissolving Power Technique an evil martial art? Would it be harmful to Azi?"

"Originally, the final outcome would have been either qi deviation or death from backlash, there was no other way. But now it's different. I have already passed on the incomplete Northern Darkness Divine Art to him. By combining it with the cultivation of the Northern Darkness, Azi is free from the possibility of backlash."

"And recently I caught her a top-grade fire ant. Through training with the fire ant, Azi's skills will become stronger and stronger, and she will possess a special palm technique with fire poison. Ordinary people will die upon contact, and even experts will find it difficult to withstand!"

"No wonder, Ah Zi is so amazing, while I..."

Azhu saw her younger sister working so hard, while she was still only indulging in "unorthodox methods".

When facing a real enemy, it's best to compete fairly in terms of internal strength and martial arts techniques.

Disguise can fool people for a while, but not forever.

They often reveal their true colors as soon as they engage in combat, so they need a real Murong Fu to provide support, and only by being both real and fake can they be effective.

"A'Zhu, you are very smart, but you were too busy with chores when you were young to concentrate on your cultivation. If there is any cultivation method that interests you, you can tell us, or ask Yu Yan for guidance..."

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely cultivate diligently and contribute to the Murong family!"
