The Martial Arts Gathering About to Begin

"I've been crazy for a long time!" A string of chess pieces flew out from Murong Fu's wide sleeves. They Transfiguration midway through their journey, appearing as snakes, tigers, eagles, and poisonous bees, before attacking Jiumozhi.

Having just learned that she was not an orphan and was enjoying the long-lost fatherly love, she then received news of her father's death.

This drove him to madness, to the point that he ignored many inconsistencies.

"Isn't Elder Benefactor Murong still alive?" Jiumozhi seemed to have grown a series of hands, waving them so tightly that they were impenetrable.

Because the Curse Technique used against enemies is Repelling Charm, the sword he created in this life is no longer Flame Blade.

Instead, it is a palm technique similar to the Great Compassion Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which relies on speed to win. It is designed to defend against enemies rather than kill them, and at the same time, it has Formless Palm Force, which creates Three-Foot Qi Wall that others cannot get close to.

Combined with Repelling Charm, it also has a counter-shock effect.

Now that the barrier of energy has been built by Jiumozhi, he can perfectly maintain its existence using only the Fearless Lion Seal on his left palm.

Murong Fu's Transfiguration animal army, infused with his Internal Energy, was shattered by the combined force of his protective barrier and the Repelling Charm. As they bounced back, they were also reduced to their original forms and torn to Diffindo.

Seeing Jiumozhi's free right hand forming Flower-Picking Finger Seal, poised to attack, Murong Fu's wisdom, overturned by rage, finally regained the upper hand.

He finally remembered that Jiumozhi was also the Imperial Preceptor of Tubo, so how could he have the time to spend decades at the Shaolin Temple in the Great Song Dynasty?

He has already offended Dali because of A'zhu's matter, and he absolutely cannot afford to offend Tibet as well.

"It's a misunderstanding, Grand Preceptor, you've misunderstood." Murong Fu quickly put on a smile. "I was momentarily confused upon receiving news of my father's death."

The letter in his arms was Transfiguration a sparrow and flew to Jiumozhi's eyes before returning to its original form.

With a livid face, Jiumozhi forced himself to suppress his anger and skimmed over the words in the letter.

After reading it, the dissatisfaction on his face faded a little. "Young Master Murong, you are really too muddle-headed. Considering my friendship with your father, I will not hold it against you."

In order to plan his grand scheme, Murong Fu always tried to win people's hearts everywhere, so he could see that what Jiumozhi said was just polite talk.

He was slightly relieved that Bao Butong wasn't there, and that Bao Butong's Bao Butong tongue hadn't further escalated the conflict between him and Jiumozhi. He quickly said, "According to my father, the Imperial Preceptor has always been a martial arts enthusiast. Why don't we go to the Huan Shi Water Pavilion for a chat and discuss how to divide the Great Song Dynasty?"

Although the martial arts world now reveres Curse Technique, good internal energy cultivation can help martial artists accumulate Internal Energy more quickly, condense incantations, communicate with heaven and earth, and enhance the power of Curse Technique.

Lightness Skill allows one to better evade those deadly Curse Technique.

External martial arts techniques can be combined with Curse Technique to create even more possibilities.

That's why the already exposed [Langhuan Blessed Land] and [Huan Shi Water Pavilion] are so sought after.

Even though Langhuan Blessed Land is a forbidden zone of death, Huan Shi Water Pavilion has been relocated by Swallow's Nest and the King Yama's Palace and is heavily guarded, martial arts practitioners still continue to try to risk their lives for it.

Therefore, upon hearing Murong Fu say this, Jiumozhi immediately abandoned his displeasure and exclaimed, "Let's go!"

Basil, also known as Li Lin, has actually been quite busy these past few days.

After Qiao Feng found out the purpose of Crow Venerable's tour, he left immediately.

Meanwhile, Li Lin and his companions traveled along the official road in Bamboo Magic Powered RV, manufactured by Li Lin, heading towards the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, the epicenter of the martial arts Stormfront.

There were robbers along the way, but they were all killed after Wu Yazi drained their Internal Energy.

Li Lin thus witnessed many wondrous spells.

The Curse Technique in the Library component are all-encompassing, including all sorts of obscure and lost spells, and that's not all.

Some things that weren't originally spells, such as the talents of Werewolf, House-elf, and phoenixes, have also been turned into spells.

Li Lin encountered a Werewolf among the bandits, who called his Curse Technique the Werewolf Transformation Charm.

According to Wu Yazi, the current emperor's magic Curse Technique is Rebirth from Fire, which is why he has survived countless assassination attempts.

This has led schemers in the martial arts world to abandon their attempts to seize power through assassination.

Using underhanded tactics to instigate friction between the Buddha Kingdom and the Beggar Dynasty became the main method.

The Martial Arts Gathering to be held at Shaolin Temple soon was orchestrated by conspirators.

As a result, the official road leading to Shaolin Temple was a mixed bag of people.

Many more 'bandits' have appeared.

Of course, Li Lin wasn't just watching the show.

Along the way, he simultaneously used the traces of time power on Huang Rong's body to observe martial arts from ancient times to the present.

The "Bei Ming Divine Skill" goes against the natural order of internal energy cultivation of all schools and sects. It is inexhaustible, accumulates and becomes thicker with each passing year, and possesses both yin and yang properties. It has the functions of absorbing internal energy, protecting the body, removing poison, and is compatible with all martial arts.

The Tai Xuan Scripture can connect hundreds of acupoints throughout the body into a single internal energy stream, integrating sword techniques, palm techniques, internal energy, Lightness Skill into one, naturally forgetting the moves and merging everything from instinct.

The Nine Yang Manual is a martial arts principle that harmonizes Yin and Yang, combines strength and gentleness, and integrates all martial arts. It can be used by any martial arts in the Nine Yang Manual. It also has the ability to heal and restore Qi quickly, and the Internal Energy is infinite. It can create an indestructible body and make people immune to all diseases and poisons.

The Nine Yin Manual, which embodies the essence of martial arts, including internal and external styles, fist techniques, and swordsmanship, contains the most fundamental methods and secrets, from its peak to its transformation from yin to yang, and encompasses both yin and yang.

The * Divine Light Scripture) gathers the purest and most wondrous elements of the world, reaching the state of "entering the divine realm of enlightenment," and possesses the power to bring the dead back to life.

One must see through the illusions of self and others, and have no intention of practicing martial arts, in order to learn the Yi Jin Scripture, the mother of the 72 Shaolin arts.

The Sunflower Manual grants the world extreme speed and enables one to achieve the appearance of a celestial being, but can only be learned by castrating oneself.

The Nine Swords of Dugu technique, which anticipates the enemy's moves and can break through all tangible techniques, even the qi, is effective.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand can incorporate any martial art technique in the world into the Six Styles of Plum Blossom Hand. It is a technique that can never be fully mastered. The higher one's internal strength and the more knowledge one has, the stronger the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand becomes.

Like a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving no trace, the divinely bestowed sword held by the Yue maiden Ah Qing;

These days, Huang Rong and the other two have also had their eyes opened wide by everything Li Lin has been demonstrating.

Wu Yazi's pride as the leader of the Xiaoyao School was completely destroyed.

He had never seen so many extraordinary skills in his entire life.

In comparison, only the "Minor Formless Power" in the "Langhuan Blessed Land" is worth mentioning.

But what is most shocking is that Li Lin still shows no signs of martial arts training and has no internal Internal Energy.

The sword techniques practiced at the beginning were complex, with a single sword strike containing hundreds of variations, but they became incredibly simple, until finally only a single thrust remained.

"What is this?" Wu Yazi's voice trembled. It was so simple, like a casual stab from a five-year-old child, yet he couldn't find any solution.

This was completely contrary to common sense for someone born in Jin Yong's martial arts world, who possessed profound Internal Energy cultivation and therefore had everything, with martial arts techniques readily available to him.

It is even more terrifying than the existence of Curse Technique.

"All things return to one, and the cycle begins anew," Li Lin said calmly.

As Li Lin's voice fell, the stab in Wu Yazi's memory seemed to receive permission, automatically twisting into five blurry characters—"The Taiyi Initial Chapter".

Just now, Li Lin was not only practicing swordsmanship, but also deducing a unique skill from all the martial arts of the past and present.

He had already drafted the initial version of "Taiyi Initial Chapter".

The subsequent God-Demon Unity Chapter," "The Three Powers Spirit Infusion Chapter the Four Symbols Manifestation Chapter," " The Five Elements Rotation Chapter," " The Six Paths Reincarnation Chapter," " The Seven Souls Qi Transformation Chapter into Qi," " The Eight Trigrams Heart Divination Chapter," " The Nine Palaces Ultimate Purity Chapter," and " The Ten Directions Leakless Chapter," are only frameworks.

Although with his current foundation, which is like a cosmic embryo coming to life, the cosmic energy he has cultivated can directly penetrate all frameworks and reach the envisioned state of "no leakage in all directions".

But he still intends to stop relying on his talent to achieve everything and is prepared to take things slowly.

Just like playing a game, it would be too boring to max out the level with Wind Spirit Shadow Moon.

Even so, his initial draft was still too complicated.

In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, truly profound martial arts techniques can lead to qi deviation and demonic possession even if Internal Energy cultivation is insufficient, even if one merely observes them.

Not to mention the "Taiyi Initial Chapter" that he synthesized by integrating everything and reciting and refining it with his own magical skills.

This martial art has acquired a strange, demonic or divine quality; anyone who sees it, except for Li Lin himself, will die from the depletion of their Internal Energy.

To prevent Wu Yazi from suffering the same fate, Li Lin only granted him five-character access.

The text also uses the method of concealing martial arts principles through the strokes of characters in the "Tai Xuan Scripture" to encrypt the text, thus obscuring it.

But this also greatly benefited Wu Yazi.

His body seemed to be electrocuted, and then he transformed back into human form from his crow form.

The Bei Ming True Qi circulating within the body is no longer extracted from within the body, nor from heaven and earth, but originates from the unseen Mind Stone.

At the same time, another Curse Technique — the Repairing Charm— emerged from the depths of his heart.

The Repairing Charm, which could not be used to heal the human body, activated the depleted life force in Wu Yazi's aged body with the help of the Bei Ming True Qi brewed by his Mind Stone.

The misaligned bones were restored to their original state, the twisted nerves were straightened, and the remaining chronic ailments in the body were healed without medicine.

Wu Yazi excitedly stood up, "My legs! I can stand up again!"

Although he is over ninety years old, he still has a handsome face, without a single wrinkle or black hair. The beauty-preserving effects of the Xiaoyao School Fu are well reflected in him.

"Grandfather/ Crow Lord, are you alright?" Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong asked in surprise.

"I must thank Young Master Li for this," Wu Yazi bowed to Li Lin and said, "That thrust contained a set of earth-shattering techniques, which also allowed me to surpass the limits of a polymath and comprehend the fourth Curse Technique."

"A world-shattering martial art?" Wang Yuyan exclaimed in surprise. "Is it as powerful as the Divine Light Scripture?"

"Crow Lord, what is your fourth Curse Technique?" Huang Rong asked.

"Much more powerful," Wu Yazi then shook his head, "No, it's completely incomparable to it."

He seemed to think about how to demonstrate the wonder of this unique skill, and stretched out an arm that was completely unlike that of an old man, and used his thumb to make a deep wound that exposed the bone.

Before Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong could even be surprised, they discovered that the wound had healed itself.

"If it was an exaggeration to say that I wouldn't die if I didn't dissipate my internal energy, then now I truly won't die if I don't dissipate my internal energy." Wu Yazi stroked his beard. "As long as I still have Internal Energy, all my injuries, including external wounds, can be healed by consuming it."

"As for the Curse Technique, its name is the Restoration Charm."

"That magical spell that craftsmen and tailors dream of?" Huang Rong asked.

Wu Yazi nodded and then shook his head. "It is slightly different from what I described in my 'Curse Scripture'. It can also be used on the human body."

At the former site of Swallow's Nest in Gusu, Duan Yu gazed into the distance, his expression gloomy. "How could this be? Mandala Villa has simply vanished."

"Muggle-Repelling Charm? No, Muggle are ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and I'm not one."

"A large-scale Concealment Charm like the one used in Bianjing?"

"No, this kind of Curse Technique cannot work on a master like me."

"And the fisherman said the water level has dropped, that's for sure."

Just as he was about to return to the ship to check the location of the Mandala Villa, a monk's figure leaped in front of him, saying, "Your sister is not here."

The newcomer was expressionless, like a corpse, and his voice came from his abdomen; it was none other than Crown Prince Yanqing.

The current Ben Chen.

If Basil knew, he would definitely complain about how Duan Yanqing used the Buddhist name of the Emperor of Baoding who had become a monk.

"Master Ben Chen," Duan Yu, offering a Buddhist salute.

"Their whereabouts are not a secret," Duan Yanqing said. "Now everyone in the martial arts world knows that Crow Venerable is taking three disciples to the Martial Arts Gathering to compete for the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader."

"The Martial Arts Alliance Leader?" Duan Yu in surprise, "This has actually been brought about."

After the Human World of Curse Technique, the status of the martial arts world became increasingly important.

It can be said that the martial arts world is now the imperial court in the eyes of the common people.

Therefore, even though the Song Emperor was unpopular, he tacitly agreed that the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader should belong to him.

This is no different from choosing an emperor on behalf of Heaven.

And now, they're actually holding some ridiculous Martial Arts Gathering, right here in Songshan, a place so sensitive that even the Buddha Kingdom is the first to hold such a thing.

"Gang Leader Qiao just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

Duan Yu found it hard to believe.

In the Central Plains, and even in the Liao Dynasty, Dali, and Tibet, Qiao Feng was an indisputable hero.

Because he was born in the Buddha Kingdom and ruled the Beggar Dynasty, he still upheld loyalty and righteousness and maintained the rule of the Song Dynasty.

He was fair and honest, and even treated an ordinary beggar with kindness and friendliness.

When one sees injustice on the road, one must draw one's sword to help.

Corrupt officials trembled with fear at the mere mention of his name.

Duan Yu had heard about the Martial Arts Gathering along the way, but he believed that as long as Qiao Feng was there, this absurd thing would not happen.

But now.

"Qiao Feng is just a human being," Duan Yanqing said. "You should know that it wasn't just those sycophants who brought this conference to fruition. Over the years, the conflict between the Beggar Dynasty and the Buddha Kingdom has been escalated to the point where it had to be ignited."

"Furthermore, the Song Emperor also hoped to see this scene."

"What?" Duan Yu was somewhat incredulous. "Song Emperor Duan Yu actually—no wonder, if it were him, given Gang Leader Qiao's character, he naturally wouldn't disobey the emperor's orders. But—why?"

Duan Yanqing patiently explained, "The Song Dynasty originally valued literature and suppressed military affairs, and always held the army and the martial arts world in awe. In addition, the Song Emperor possessed an immortality Curse Technique such as Rebirth from Fire, and Qiao Feng, the 'Dragon God in the Clouds,' was loyal. He was confident that he could protect his life no matter what the situation was."
