Bat Prince, roaming the heavens

The flow of time on the Immortal Island of No Contention is roughly the same as in the real world.

The difference is that there is only daytime on the island, and no nighttime.

For some time afterward, Yuan Suiyun mostly entered the Immortal Island only at night in the real world.

Since this island was nameless, Yuan Suiyun, who was incapable of naming things, named it "Wuzheng Immortal Island" after his own mountain villa.

This not only reflects the island's aloofness, seclusion, and tranquility, but also subtly reveals its ambition to be unmatched in all the heavens and the myriad realms.

To reach this level, Yuan Suiyun can only immerse himself in martial arts training at this stage.

With the "eyesight" bestowed upon him by the Immortal Island, he searched through almost all the books in his family's library to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, and to re-understand martial arts in a completely new way, unlike the original owner.

Soon, Yuan Suiyun realized a major flaw in the original owner's martial arts cultivation: he had a wide range of knowledge but had not mastered any of it.

Indeed, mastering thirty-three unique skills is something that many people aspire to.

However, this "proficiency" is only relative to ordinary martial arts masters. Compared with the true top experts in the martial arts world, it is probably still a little shallow.

Yuan Suiyun knew that in the life-or-death struggle of martial arts, even the slightest carelessness could be fatal.

Being a jack of all trades but master of none is a cardinal sin for a martial artist!

A famous counterexample is Murong Fu.

In pursuit of his family's reputation for "using their own methods against them," Murong Fu constantly studied various martial arts styles, but ended up neglecting to delve into his own unique skills.

Despite possessing a wide range of skills, they struggle to combine them effectively in actual combat, ultimately suffering repeated defeats against true masters.

This made the saying "Qiao Feng in the North, Murong in the South" a joke.

Therefore, Yuan Suiyun stopped trying to learn too much and instead focused on refining and perfecting his own unique skills.

Every night, he secluded himself on the Immortal Island of No Contention to cultivate, dissecting and studying each of the thirty-three unique skills one by one, eliminating the useless and complicated moves and techniques, retaining the essence, and then verifying and integrating the profound meanings within them.

Yuan Suiyun gradually eliminated the complexities and pursued purity, striving to fuse all martial arts into one, attempting to hone his own path of martial arts.

This process is tedious and boring, and one wrong move can damage the physical form of his mind, but he still enjoys it.

In every lonely night, he could feel himself constantly improving, and his control over his inner energy and the fluidity of his moves gradually increased.

Even the slightest improvement would bring him joy, and his resolve to pursue martial arts would only grow stronger.

It's a pity that the consciousness cannot cultivate true energy to bring back to the body!

Besides practicing martial arts, Yuan Suiyun could also play the zither and enjoy tea on the island, which made him quite carefree.

The wind was still that night.

Yuan Suiyun was studying the fusion of sword techniques on the island when he suddenly felt a slight vibration.

In an instant, the air seemed to ripple, and invisible waves slowly spread out, faintly weaving together mysterious fluctuations that Yuan Suiyun could not understand.

"Have we finally drifted to a new world?"

A thought struck him, and he instantly realized what had happened. He happily sheathed his sword.

Suddenly, countless Taoist voices rang out on the once tranquil island.

The sound arose out of nowhere, seemingly near yet far, mingling like a bustling marketplace, yet also appearing to have drifted down from the heavens.

Amidst the noise, there is tranquility; within the chaos, there is rhythm. It stirs the heart, ethereal and lofty, like a dream.

Yuan Suiyun listened intently, and with a slight twitch of his brow, he had already grasped the key information.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects..."

"The Lin family of Fuzhou...the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique..."

"The Demonic Cult... Dongfang Bubai..."

The words came like the wind, sudden and gone even faster, as if they were only meant to let Yuan Suiyun know the information about the other world as quickly as possible.

When Yuan Suiyun learned that the world he could go to this time was "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", all the sounds coming from the opposite side instantly disappeared, and the world suddenly became silent.

The fluctuations in the space finally subsided, and a spatial gate emitting faint halos formed three zhang in front of Yuan Suiyun.

Yuan Suiyun's eyes gleamed with excitement. Once he passed through this door, he could travel to the world of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

However, Yuan Suiyun at this moment is not his physical body; his mental form cannot pass through the spatial gate.

In a short while, Yuan Suiyun's originally turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

He pondered for a moment, his gaze slightly lowered, already considering the various aspects of the world of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

Although there are many martial arts in that world, in his view, there are very few that are truly worth seeing.

It's nothing more than the Yi Jin Jing, Tai Chi Chuan Jing, Sunflower Manual, Star Absorbing Technique, and Dugu Nine Swords.

At most, we can add the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual", "Purple Cloud Divine Skill", and "Frosty True Qi".

"My standards have really risen too high these days. Thinking about it now, the value of being a world-renowned figure doesn't seem to be that great to me anymore," Yuan Suiyun thought with a touch of self-deprecation.

If it were someone new to martial arts, perhaps Laughing at the World would be a good place to go.

But he wasn't some greenhorn.

He is Yuan Suiyun!

Immediately, he thought of the murderous doctor Ping Yizhi.

For Yuan Suiyun, the most important task was not to collect martial arts techniques, but to cure his blindness.

Although in the original work, Ping Yizhi did not demonstrate the ability to give people eyes like Xu Zhu.

However, he is ultimately a renowned medical expert in Jin Yong's novels, even possessing the ability to open up a person's abdomen and reconnect their meridians, so he can most likely provide Yuan Suiyun with some inspiration and surprises.

"Find Ping's One-Finger Theory of Medicine, test whether the Dugu Nine Swords, which is said to break all moves in the world, is really that miraculous, and collect a few of the world's top martial arts."

Oh, and I also need to see the theme song of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"!

Yuan Suiyun quickly decided on the goal of this trip to Xiao Ao.

Having clarified his goal, Yuan Suiyun did not rush to travel to the other side in his true form, but instead made thorough preparations in advance.

Since he was unaware of the time difference between the two worlds, Yuan Suiyun had to make arrangements for Wuzheng Manor before traveling there.

Fortunately, Yuan Suiyun was the young master of the manor, so he didn't need to explain anything to his subordinates. He only needed to give his cheap old man a plausible reason.

Yuan Suiyun had been feeling rather bored in the manor lately, unable to make any progress in his martial arts, and wanted to go out for a walk to clear his head, so he easily persuaded Yuan Dongyuan to help.

After all, since Yuan Suiyun transmigrated, he has been staying at home in the manor practicing martial arts and has never stepped out of his house.

Yuan Dongyuan sometimes even worried that he would go astray in his martial arts practice and tried to advise him, but Yuan Suiyun, who was obsessed with martial arts, did not take it to heart.

Upon hearing his idea of ​​going out for a walk to clear his head, Yuan Dongyuan readily agreed and instructed the best guards in the manor to stay by Yuan Suiyun's side and protect him.

Although Yuan Suiyun was highly skilled in martial arts, he was ultimately blind and needed someone to accompany him whenever he went out.

Yuan Suiyun was quite helpless about this and could only hope to get to a world where her eyes could be cured as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the people following Yuan Suiyun were his confidants, so even if he disappeared for a period of time, no word would leak out.

After everything was ready, Yuan Suiyun stepped out of his house, ready to enter another world.
