A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Heartbreakingly beautiful? It really is the Heartbreakingly Beautiful Palm.

Although Zhang Huai had already made a rough guess in his mind, hearing it from Yang Guo's mouth still shocked him greatly.

This is simply too incredible. Given such vastly different circumstances, Yang Guo actually mastered the Ecstasy Palm by relying on the Nine Yin Manual, many years ahead of schedule.

Zhang Huai couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the Nine Yin Manual that was too heaven-defying, or Yang Guo's talent that was simply extraordinary.

Yang Guo sat to the side and slowly said, "However, this palm technique cannot be used lightly. This palm technique relies entirely on the power of extreme grief. I cannot use it until the emotion reaches its peak. With more practice and familiarity in the future, perhaps I can use it a little more easily."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Zhang Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt secretly fortunate.

He couldn't help but think that Yang Guo was quite "cunning." He could only use the Ecstasy Palm when he was sad, but once he couldn't use it, he would be sad again.

"I must thank Brother Huai. If it weren't for Brother Huai's powerful mental fluctuations breaking through the last barrier, I'm afraid it would have taken me a long time to comprehend this palm technique."

Yang Guo clasped his hands in a respectful gesture of thanks to Zhang Huai, who was standing to the side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huai quickly waved his hand: "It's because you have exceptional talent. Even without me, you would have been able to figure it out in no time."

Little Dragon Girl watched Yang Guo with a beaming smile, as if he was even happier that she had grasped this powerful palm technique than that she herself had made great progress in her cultivation.

Looking at Zhang Huai and Yang Guo, she was amazed by their talent, noting how much progress they had made in such a short time.

But she had no other distractions. Martial arts are all about serendipitous encounters, and she only needed to be down-to-earth and cultivate steadily.

After a brief exchange, the three of them once again immersed themselves in studying the Nine Yin Manual.

After all, in such a short time, the three of them only grasped a very small part of the content.

Even though the Nine Yin Manual is exquisite and easy to understand, it is by no means something that can be fully mastered in a day or two.

For the next month, the three of them secluded themselves to diligently cultivate the Nine Yin Manual.

Apart from getting up to eat and take care of basic bodily needs, there were no other activities.

Meanwhile, Quanzhen Sect disciples outside the region were actively gathering and relocating.

They decided to follow the agreement and send the entire sect out of the mountains to resist the Mongols.

After careful consideration, Qiu Chuji selected Xiangyang as the most dangerous yet crucial location among the many battlefields between the Song and Mongol armies.

Moreover, Xiangyang was originally the place Guo Jing was stationed in, so they could be considered one of their own, and they could take care of each other and cooperate in the future.

Qiu Chuji also had his own selfish motives; he wanted to share some of the pressure with his junior.

On the very day that Zhang Huai and his two companions entered the Sutra Repository, Qiu Chuji discussed the matter with his fellow disciples and decided to write a letter to Guo Jing, who was guarding the city.

Guo Jing was overjoyed to receive the letter.

It should be understood that a disciple who has mastered martial arts is as strong as dozens or even hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

The Quanzhen Sect alone has several thousand disciples on Zhongnan Mountain; if we add those who travel outside, the total number is probably close to ten thousand.

In his reply, Guo Jing expressed his warm welcome to the Quanzhen Sect and also instructed them not to forget to bring Yang Guo along.

Mentioning Yang Guo gave Qiu Chuji and the others a headache, as they were still engrossed in the Hidden Skills Pavilion and had no intention of coming out.

He decided to tell Guo Jing that Yang Guo was still in seclusion, and then leave a letter to inform Yang Guo.

Whether or not Yang Guo goes is his own business.

These days, the entire Quanzhen Sect is making every effort to recall its disciples who are away. After all...

Zhang Huai demanded that the entire Quanzhen Sect unite to resist the Mongols.

Even if Zhang Huai might not have known that the Quanzhen Sect had many traveling disciples, Qiu Chuji, being a man of his word, would naturally do his utmost to keep his promise.

In an instant, disciples of the Quanzhen Sect set off throughout the martial arts world.

Those who lived near Zhongnan Mountain rushed back to Chongyang Palace to join the main force; those who lived far from Zhongnan Mountain went directly to Xiangyang City from various places to meet the main force.

All those in the martial arts world were puzzled by the Quanzhen Sect's massive move.

A month later, a large number of Quanzhen disciples had gathered outside Chongyang Palace.

According to Guo Jing's reply, many Quanzhen Sect disciples had already arrived in Xiangyang City and settled down.

Seeing that the preparations were largely complete, Qiu Chuji immediately gave the order in a deep voice:

"Let's go, destination Xiangyang!"

"Resist the Mongols and Protect the Nation!"

Wang Chuyi, standing to the side, channeled his inner strength and shouted loudly to all the disciples in the square.

"Resist the Mongols! Protect the nation!"

All the disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and startling the birds in the forest into taking flight.

Even Zhang Huai and his two companions, who were in seclusion in the Sutra Repository, could clearly hear this firm and powerful shout.

Another half month passed.

Zhang Huai slowly sat up from the secret room of the Sutra Pavilion, picked up a steamed bun beside him, and began to eat it in large bites.

These were the dry rations they had prepared in advance. For a full month and a half, the three of them stayed in the Sutra Repository, diligently cultivating the Nine Yin Manual.

At this moment, Zhang Huai had mastered most of the contents of the Nine Yin Manual, except for the internal energy cultivation section. All that remained was for time to polish and refine his skills.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's martial arts talent was slightly better than Zhang Huai's.

The two had already mastered the Nine Yin Manual several days ago, and after these few days of consolidation and refinement, their cultivation had advanced even further.

With the help of the internal energy cultivation method of the Nine Yin Manual, Yang Guo has completely digested and absorbed the 20% of internal energy previously taught by Master Lü, and has officially entered the ranks of top-level masters in terms of internal energy cultivation.

In terms of skill and technique, perhaps only those at the level of the Five Greats can rival him.

Xiaolongnu's progress was even more astonishing. She did not practice the external martial arts moves in the Nine Yin Manual, but devoted herself to studying the internal martial arts techniques and the Soul Transfer Technique.

Nourished and guided by the Nine Yin Manual, she cultivated her Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and Jade Maiden Sword Technique to an unparalleled level of mastery.

As for whether he has reached the level of the Five Greats, that can only be known after a real fight.

As for Zhang Huai, it is no exaggeration to say that he is now invincible.

In fact, Zhang Huai already possessed the foundation to be invincible, but when he first arrived in this world, he was unable to perfectly control his own power, and his shortcomings were too obvious, which is why he did not seem so unstoppable.

Things are different now. Relying on the Nine Yin Manual, aside from the limits of his physical body, he can now perfectly control all the power he can unleash at this stage.

In terms of techniques, in addition to the divine fist and divine leg techniques he had previously learned, he had also mastered the Heart-Shattering Palm and Great Subduing Demon Fist recorded in the Nine Yin Manual, and had already achieved minor mastery, enough to deal with more than 90% of the martial arts variations in the world.

It can be said that he now truly possesses the capital to dominate the world and be unstoppable.

Zhang Huai couldn't help but sigh: How lonely it is to be invincible.
