The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

As he spoke, Ishihara Sho opened his mouth again and spat out a ball of light, which he controlled to fly to the top of Zhao Min's head and then directly entered Zhao Min's mind.

Suddenly, Zhao Min felt a sharp pain in her head, her consciousness went black, and she completely lost consciousness.

Then Ishihara Akira jumped off the ground, transformed back into human form, and put Zhao Min back on the bed.

Then it transformed back into its original form as a little mongrel, crawled into Zhao Min's bed, and rested with her.

……

On the other side, the Tianshan Mountains.

Another clone dispatched by Ishihara Sho finally found the forbidden area mentioned by the Ming Cult after a thorough search—a secluded place, or rather, a place of death, that only the leaders of the Ming Cult could enter. There, they found Yang Dingtian's body, the Great Shift of the Universe technique, and his last will and testament.

Thus, aside from Yang Xiao, who remains at Zuowang Peak due to Ji Xiaofu, all the opportunities related to Tianshan mentioned in the original novel and other stories have been completely exploited by Shi Yuanzhang.

For example, the Wu Family Manor that tricked Zhang Wuji in the original novel, as well as the unique skills they inherited from Peach Blossom Island and the Southern Emperor—One-Finger Divine Skill, Flicking Finger Divine Skill, Falling Petals Palm, Jade Bridge Sword Technique, and several incomplete moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

However, Shi Yuanzhang had already obtained the complete set in Emei, so naturally he wouldn't be interested. He glanced at it briefly and then tossed it aside.

Then there's the complete Nine Yang Manual hidden inside the white ape's body in the Kunlun Secret Realm.

The ruins of Lingjiu Palace remain on an unnamed mountain in the Tianshan Mountains, along with remnants of the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts techniques—Tianshan Liuyang Palm and Tianshan Zhemei Hand.

As for the others, they could no longer be found due to the ruin of Lingjiu Palace.

This left Ishihara Sho feeling somewhat disappointed.

However, upon further reflection, after realizing that the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan could be used in reverse to create the Life and Death Talisman, this regret was greatly reduced. Furthermore, with the Great Shift of the Universe Divine Skill he had now obtained, Ishihara Akira felt that, following the Eternal Heaven Divine Skill and the so-called Six Divine Powers, creating another Ming Divine Martial Manual did not seem like an impossible task.

He then turned around and stopped in the forbidden area of ​​the Ming Cult, using all the knowledge and power he knew to deduce the secrets of the Ming Divine Martial Scripture.

……

"Is Minmin still not awake?" Ruyang Prince Chahan Temur frowned and asked the maid who had just come out of Zhao Min's room.

"Not yet," the maid replied with a worried expression.

She couldn't help but worry, because the Yuan Dynasty, or rather the Mongols, had no rule against being buried alive with the dead, especially for a princess like Zhao Min. If she died for some inexplicable reason, not only her personal maids, but even the maids in the Prince's mansion would be sent down as funerary objects to accompany the princess, if the Prince of Ruyang wished.

So if we're talking about who in the mansion most wants Zhao Min to wake up, besides her biological father Chaghan Temur, it's the group of maids who are responsible for taking care of Zhao Min.

"Go down." Prince Ruyang didn't take his anger out on anyone; he waved his hand, indicating that the maid could leave.

The maid dared not linger and immediately ran out as if fleeing.

"Keep searching for someone. As long as someone can cure my daughter, I am willing to offer a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land as a reward," Prince Ruyang said to his servants.

"Your Highness, please don't worry too much. Perhaps the princess is just unconscious and will wake up in a couple of days," said the servants of the manor, such as the Xuanming Elders, offering words of comfort.

"I hope so."

Afterwards, the Prince of Ruyang went in to see his daughter, then sighed and shook his head as he returned to his room, awaiting good news.

He didn't have to wait long. That afternoon, near dinnertime, a maid came running over excitedly, panting, and loudly reported to Prince Ruyang, "She's awake! The princess is awake!"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang immediately stood up from his chair. Without waiting for the maid to answer, he rushed out like the wind, crossed the courtyard, and arrived at Zhao Min's room, where he saw Zhao Min sitting up and drinking tea.

"You've worried your father to death," said the Prince of Ruyang as he ran over and hugged Zhao Min tightly.

"I'm sorry, Father, I've worried you," Zhao Min said apologetically.

"As long as you wake up, that's all that matters. Do you know why you fell into a coma? Were you poisoned or attacked? As long as there are any clues, your father will definitely help you find out the truth, arrest those who harmed you, and hand them over to you for punishment." After his emotional outburst, Chaghan Temur looked at Zhao Min and said fiercely.

Chapter 343 Wind God Power

"Father, you're overthinking it. I didn't fall into a coma because of some villain. Instead, I received a great blessing. The reason I was asleep these past few days was simply to digest the benefits of this blessing. And now that I've digested it, I've woken up," Zhao Min quickly comforted her father with a smile.

As for what Fuyuan was, she didn't say a word.

After all, the position of Prince Ruyang was too special. Although he had not yet reached the level of the Grand Marshal of the Army and the People's Liberation Army, he was still a general who led troops and held great power. He was already feared by the royal family. If he knew that she had won the favor of the Eternal Heaven and been chosen by the Eternal Heaven, who knows if Chaghan Temur would have any improper thoughts, such as overthrowing the Golden Family and becoming emperor himself.

Although she didn't care much about whether the country was in chaos or not, she didn't want to see the chain reaction and danger that would result. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, she didn't plan to tell anyone that she had received the favor of the Eternal Heaven. She didn't even plan to announce the name of the Eternal Heaven Divine Art, just pretending that it was a magical technique she had found in some obscure corner.

So after comforting Prince Ruyang for a while, Zhao Min told him to go about his business, and she, with the help of her maid, began to eat.

After all, I hadn't eaten for three days, and I was really hungry.

……

Then in the evening.

"Master Ku, Elder Xuanming." Zhao Min, dressed in a martial arts outfit, arrived at the training ground of the Prince's Mansion and greeted Elder Xuanming, Elder Xuanming, and the three people who were responsible for teaching her martial arts.

"Greetings, Princess," the three returned the greeting.

"I wonder why the princess has summoned us here at this hour?" asked Lu Zhangke, the eldest of the Xuanming Elders, with a puzzled expression.

Although the other two remained silent, they also paid close attention to what Zhao Min would say next.

"To be honest, before I fell into a coma, I obtained a cultivation technique from elsewhere. The contents are quite miraculous. It was because I practiced the incantations on that technique that I fell into a coma and only woke up today. Although the process seemed somewhat dangerous, I feel as if I have mastered the technique. Therefore, I have asked you all to come and help me verify it," Zhao Min said to the three of them.

"What kind of cultivation technique can make a cultivator faint? Could it be some kind of evil technique?" The two elders of Xuanming exchanged a glance, and the elder of Hequ Pavilion couldn't help but complain.

"Does the princess still remember the name of the cultivation technique?" Lu Zhangke asked.

“That cultivation technique has no name,” Zhao Min said, shaking her head.

"Is that manual still there?" Lu Zhangke continued to ask.

"I searched for it after I woke up, but it's gone. It seems to have vanished into thin air. No matter how hard I look, I can't find it."

There was no secret manual to begin with, so we can't just make one up out of thin air, can we?

That method might fool ordinary people, but it would be very difficult to fool the Xuanming Elders, who are old demons who have been around for many years.

"Then the princess should still remember the incantation, right?" said the old man from the Crane Pavilion.

"I do remember, but it's as if I'm under a curse, unable to speak it aloud, so I can't recite it to you," Zhao Min replied with a regretful expression.

If the Xuanming Elders still can't understand the meaning behind Zhao Min's words this time, then they've lived in vain for all these years...

What can't be said aloud? To put it bluntly, it's just that you don't want to say it, you don't want them to know, right?

Why bother with the curses?

If curses really existed in this world, how could these seasoned veterans have never seen them?

Having spent so long in Mongolia, they had never encountered any Tibetan Buddhist masters, Snow Mountain lamas, or Taoist priests and monks from the Central Plains who possessed special skills or incantations that prevented people from speaking of certain things.

They exchanged a glance, then stopped asking about the martial arts technique and returned to the main topic: "Then please demonstrate, Princess. Perhaps the two of us and Master Ku can find the name and origin of that technique from the lineage of the Princess's martial arts."

"Then I'll trouble the three masters to keep an eye on things," Zhao Min said with a smile.

As she spoke, Zhao Min took a deep breath, then exhaled, and a gentle breeze suddenly swept across the training ground, growing stronger and stronger until it became a gale strong enough to blind anyone, whipping up sand and gravel that flew everywhere. It quickly turned into a visible tornado, raging across the field...

But not only did it not move, even the wind 'roots' that should have landed on the ground were not there; instead, they seemed to be growing in Zhao Min's palm, held aloft within her.

The power of the wind god among the six divine powers.

Upon seeing this, the two elders of Xuanming and the three monks of Ku Toutuo couldn't help but change their expressions, feeling incredulous.

Is this martial arts? This is more like a celestial technique! Even if it isn't, it must be a technique practiced by Qi cultivators during the pre-Qin period. No wonder the princess was unconscious for so many days as soon as it was opened. It has such terrifying power after being refined.

No wonder the princess didn't want to tell us the details; if it were them, they wouldn't reveal a single word to outsiders either.

But the envy and greed in my heart were something I couldn't stop.

However, they dared not actually put it into action.

After all, Zhao Min's identity is extraordinary. Although she is not a direct descendant of the Golden Family, she is still a member of the royal family and a princess. If they really dare to attack Zhao Min because of their own greed, they will probably not be able to escape the pursuit and killing even if they run to the ends of the earth.

After all, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, which did not collapse, not only covered the present-day Central Plains, but also encompassed the whole of Asia and a small part of Europe. It can be said that apart from going out to sea, they really had no way to go anywhere.

Moreover, given the princess's shrewdness, since she dared to reveal this skill, how could she not have a backup plan?

If they really make a move, they'll likely be besieged by those currently lurking somewhere, such as Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, and the Eight-Armed Beggar Dongfang Zhuo.

"Who among you can help me test the power of this move?" Zhao Min called out to the two elders of Xuanming and the three monks with a smile.

"Then let us, the two brothers, experience the Princess's divine skills." The two elders of Xuanming and the Bitter Monk exchanged a glance, and finally walked into the arena with a sense of helplessness.

"Then I'll let go," Zhao Min reminded her.

Without hesitation, the two elders of Xuanming immediately activated the Xuanming True Scripture, the accompanying internal energy of their Xuanming Divine Palm, preparing for a desperate fight.

"Go!" Zhao Min shouted, throwing the raging tornado in her hand at the Xuanming Elders.

The two elders of Xuanming dared not be negligent. They both exerted their full power and unleashed the freezing cold of the Xuanming Divine Palm, blasting it towards the tornado thrown by Zhao Min.

"Clap clap clap..."

The cold air collided with the tornado, and the surface of the tornado gradually turned frost-colored, freezing the tornado created by Zhao Min's still immature and powerful wind god power on the spot.

Chapter 344 The Seven Injury Fist and the Newcomer's Situation

Although the Xuanming Elders blocked Zhao Min's seemingly powerful attack, neither the Xuanming Elders themselves nor the Bitter Monk watching from the sidelines underestimated Zhao Min or the martial arts she practiced.

After all, according to Zhao Min, she has only mastered this martial art for a maximum of three days, and even in terms of the time she was conscious, it was only half a day this afternoon. In less than a day, she was able to force the Xuanming Elders, who had cultivated for decades, to use all their strength to fight against her. This achievement alone is enough to make any martial arts person in the world who knows the situation take notice, let alone people like them who are the parties involved.

In any case, the remaining pride that the Xuanming Elders had originally harbored was completely shattered by Zhao Min's Wind God Power, and they completely accepted their identities as retainers or servants of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion, becoming increasingly loyal and wary of Zhao Min.

As a result, they became more serious and responsible when carrying out tasks.

Sure enough, less than half a month after the battle ended, Zhang Wuji, the protagonist of the original novel, was brought back by the Xuanming Elders under Zhao Min's careful planning and imprisoned in the mansion's jail...

The interrogation process can be found in the original text.

But for Ishihara Sho, who was hiding in the shadows, it greatly facilitated his actions.

Therefore, one night, Ishihara Akira regained his human form and silently sneaked into the dungeon. Using his Double-Handed Technique, he stole all of Zhang Wuji's knowledge of the Seven Injury Fist and the Wudang Sect's internal energy cultivation methods from Zhang Wuji's mind.

"I hope this Seven Injury Fist won't disappoint me." After completing all this, Ishihara Sho's clone, who had transformed back into a puppy, muttered to himself.

Why specifically mention the Seven Injury Fist?

The reason is simple: the Seven Injury Fist is the only technique in the entire Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber that involves balancing the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of the internal organs during cultivation. It can help Ishihara Akira vaguely find ways to strengthen the five elements in his chest. Otherwise, he wouldn't have infiltrated the Prince's Mansion so early, disguising himself as the earthly incarnation of the Eternal Heaven, Canglang, to play with the little girl Zhao Min.

As for teaching the Eternal Heaven Divine Skill, it was merely to find an opponent for the Emei Sect, lest they think they were invincible after his modifications and then stop obeying orders...

As for whether this will cause even greater casualties.
