All Heavens: Yin Zhiping, a Demon with a Daoist Heart!

"How was it?" Hua Zheng looked up at him with her pretty little face full of anticipation.

"It worked!" Yin Zhiping was overjoyed.

With his innate talent and budding intelligence, he will find it much easier to cultivate martial arts in the future.

"Great!" Hua Zheng exclaimed. "Then let's go hunt more snakes!"

So the two continued their journey into the mountains and forests.

It was early autumn, and the trees in the mountains were still lush and green, with only a few yellow leaves occasionally falling in the wind.

The deeper you go, the denser the forest becomes, and eventually there is no path to be found.

Yin Zhiping looked into the distance and saw that the mountains ahead were becoming steeper, with mist swirling around them.

"Taoist brother, look over there!" Hua Zheng suddenly pointed forward.

The view ahead suddenly opened up, the trees gradually thinned out, revealing a cliff face.

The cliff face is steep and sheer, and looking down, it is shrouded in mist and the bottom is nowhere to be seen.

Yin Zhiping looked around and indeed found a narrow stone path on the side of the cliff, almost completely hidden by vines, winding downwards and leading into the depths of the clouds and mist.

"This is it!"

Yin Zhiping chuckled and walked down the stone path.

Hua Zheng followed closely behind.

Due to the dense fog, Yin Zhiping dared not rashly use his lightness skill to descend.

After walking for a long time, the view suddenly opened up before them.

It turned out to be a deep valley!

Surrounded by cliffs, it resembles a huge deep well, with a hidden paradise within the valley.

A waterfall cascades down a cliff over a hundred feet high, like a silver river hanging upside down, with a roaring sound and splashing water.

Below the waterfall is a deep pool with crystal-clear water where fish can be seen swimming around.

Sunlight streams in from the valley entrance, creating a rainbow over the waterfall—a truly breathtaking sight.

"Wow!"

Hua Zheng exclaimed in surprise, her eyes lighting up. She grabbed Yin Zhiping's hand and jumped up and down, "Taoist brother! This place is so beautiful! Much more beautiful than the desert!"

Yin Zhiping was overjoyed.

This is the place he is looking for.

Sword Tomb!

He said, "We will build a hut here and cultivate for several months."

"good!"

The two men then cut down trees and built a small hut.

Hua Zheng was overjoyed. Being able to live in seclusion with her Taoist brother and spend every day together was the life she had always dreamed of!

She tidied up the thatched hut simply, sat by the pool, took off her shoes and socks, and dipped her delicate white feet into the cool water, swaying them contentedly and splashing water.

Yin Zhiping used his light-footed skills to climb the cliff face and leap dozens of feet up to a platform.

Upon closer inspection, the words "Sword Tomb" were indeed written on the large rock.

Looking to the side, there are two more lines of smaller text: "Since the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is invincible under heaven, he buried his sword here."

"Alas! The heroes are helpless, their long swords are useless; how tragic!"

Yin Zhiping nodded slightly, confirming that he had come to the right place. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the boulder in front of him aside.

Before me stood three swords side by side, and a long stone slab.

Yin Zhiping was overjoyed and went forward to see.

On the stone beneath the first sword in the right hand were engraved small characters: "Sharp and fierce, invincible, used to contend with the heroes of Hebei before the age of twenty!"

The sword was about four feet long, gleaming with a bluish light, and incomparably sharp.

Yin Zhiping pulled it up to look at it; it made a buzzing sound.

"You're the one!"

He swung his sword at the stone wall beside him, only to find that the sword pierced straight into the stone wall as easily as cutting tofu.

"Hmph!" Yin Zhiping smiled, quite satisfied.

This sword is so sharp, it's perfect for him, and it's the sword he most wanted to obtain on this trip.

All swordsmanship in the world, regardless of its school or style, or its variations, always emphasizes lightness, agility, and speed.

The swordsmanship practiced by Yin Zhiping was also like this.

As for the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, he knew he didn't have the steadfast nature for it, so he'd leave it to someone destined to have it!

Yin Zhiping thrust out another palm, causing the boulder to block the sword mound.

Contentment brings happiness, and leads to significant progress!

[Reward: Comprehension +1!]

"Huh? You damn system, why does it feel like you're insulting me?"

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, two deep, sharp "coo-coo" sounds were heard from the sky.

Yin Zhiping looked up and saw a huge eagle gliding down with its wings spread, blocking out a patch of sunlight.

"Ah! What a huge vulture!" Hua Zheng exclaimed in surprise.

Yin Zhiping said, "It's an eagle."

The giant eagle landed on the ground. It was extremely tall and ugly, with yellowish-black feathers all over its body, half of which had fallen off.

"Coo coo—" It tilted its head to look at Hua Zheng, its cloudy eyes full of doubt, yet it strutted around with an air of superiority and extraordinary spirit.

Yin Zhiping floated down and stood in front of Hua Zheng, bowing respectfully and saying, "I was just passing by and did not mean to disturb you. My apologies."

He figured it was better to be polite than not polite, so he dealt with it for now and would resort to force if necessary.

Most importantly, Dugu Qiubai did not leave behind any sword manuals. If you want to learn swordsmanship, you have to start with The Condor Heroes.

The divine eagle turned its head to look at Yin Zhiping, then at the sword in his hand, spread its wings to create a strong wind, and stepped on the cliff wall to go to the platform above.

Hua Zheng exclaimed, "Hey! This bald eagle can't fly! It just glided down."

Free-range chickens.

Yin Zhiping said, "The longer the divine eagle lives, the more powerful it becomes. Don't be rude."

After a while, the divine eagle glided down again, looking at Yin Zhiping with a proud expression. Suddenly, it pounced forward and swung its wings to strike.

Yin Zhiping knew that it was testing him, so he did not draw his sword, but only used the scabbard to defend himself.

At the same time, he also observed the way the Condor Heroes made his moves, hoping to learn Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship from it.

The eagle's claws moved swiftly, seemingly carrying the force of wind and thunder. Yin Zhiping, however, responded calmly, deflecting the attack with his sword sheath and striking the eagle's chest with a powerful Vajra Palm.

A powerful aura emanated from the air.

The divine eagle was shaken and staggered back two steps, its claws carving two deep furrows in the ground.

It shook its head, a look of surprise flashing in its eyes.

Yin Zhiping was also filled with emotion. This divine eagle had been consuming the gallbladder of the Bodhi snake for many years, and its strength far surpassed that of ordinary birds of prey. The power of this claw was quite formidable.

He said, "Your skill is excellent!"

The divine eagle cried out "coo coo—" again, spread its wings, and circled around Yin Zhiping. Its claws shot out in quick succession, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes up, sometimes down, as fast as lightning!

"Ha!" Yin Zhiping was overjoyed and immediately memorized the movements.

This must be Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship!

The Condor Heroes once watched Dugu Qiubai practice swordsmanship every day, and actually incorporated the swordsmanship into his claw techniques!

He used the Golden Goose Skill, his figure swaying swiftly, his palms flying, deflecting the Divine Eagle's attacks one by one, intentionally guiding the Divine Eagle to make more moves so that he could memorize them all.

As long as you can remember the basics and get started, with the help of the system, you can eventually return to basics!

The two fought for over a hundred rounds by the pool. The divine eagle, knowing it was no match, flapped its wings and retreated a few steps, letting out a long cry.

It suddenly strode away without looking back.

Hua Zheng exclaimed happily, "It's been chased away!"

Yin Zhiping frowned slightly: "This is its home, it certainly won't run away. I wonder what it's up to."

But they didn't care.

He hurriedly tried out all the moves he had just memorized, but they were not very coherent and were incomplete.

It seems we need to give the Condor Heroes Cult another lesson.
