Ji Boying then used the Five Great Mountains Swordplay Technique again.

The more you practice, the simpler it becomes.

However, the style of the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects became increasingly distinct.

The predecessors of the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects created their sword techniques based on the characteristics of the mountains where their respective sects were located. Mount Tai in the east was valued for its grandeur, Mount Hua in the west for its perilousness, Mount Song in the center for its steepness, Mount Heng in the north for its seclusion, and Mount Heng in the south for its elegance.

There is a saying that goes, "Mount Heng is like walking, Mount Tai is like sitting, Mount Hua is like standing, Mount Song is like lying down, and Mount Heng is like flying."

Ji Boying demonstrated each of the dozens of sword techniques, either removing a particular move and practicing it several times or adding it back.

Sometimes it shifts from the extreme stillness of Mount Tai to the extreme movement of Mount Heng, and sometimes it moves from the perilous height of Mount Hua to the majestic reclining height of Mount Song, interspersed with the continuous, flowing Mount Heng Swordplay.

Ji Boying used his own internal strength as the foundation and the Mount Hua Swordplay as the framework to simplify these dozens of sword techniques one by one, reducing the many complicated moves to five hundred moves.

The essence of the Five Great Mountains Swordplay is contained within these five hundred moves.

These five hundred moves were then summarized, integrated, and condensed again, taking two days to transform into three hundred moves.

This simplification has already exhausted the full potential of the Five Great Mountains Swordplay.

To further simplify it, one would have to discard many of its ingenious uses.

Ji Boying then memorized these three hundred sword techniques and casually compiled them into a book called the Five Great Mountains Swordplay.

This sword technique was naturally incredibly profound, but Ji Boying casually tossed it aside, waiting for it to be passed down to his sect later.

However, he has not yet achieved his own ambitions.

So he spent seven days trying his best to simplify and innovate, creating new sword moves that could contain the original subtle variations within the moves.

Finally, through Ji Boying's tireless efforts day and night, he spent seven days developing the Seventy-Two Styles of Swordplay.

"Hey, I did it!"

Ji Boying's black hair was disheveled, his face was dirty, and his clothes were unkempt, but his face was full of joy.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and created the seventy-two sword techniques.

Just as he was overjoyed and felt at ease, his heart was filled with joy. After more than ten days of studying swordsmanship and comprehending the true meaning of the Five Sacred Mountains, he suddenly felt his internal energy surging in his Dantian.

The Purple Mist True Qi flowed swiftly and spontaneously.

Traveling through the Twelve Main Meridians of the body, they eventually connect end to end, forming a complete cycle.

The Purple Mist True Qi circulates throughout the body, nourishing the meridians and expanding its pathways.

Ji Boying held his breath, lowered his eyes, and sat cross-legged on the large rock, sensing the changes around his body.

Once the cycle of the Heavenly Cycle reaches its thirty-sixth iteration, a faint sense of harmony between Heaven and Man arises, Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill operates flawlessly.

In this moment of enlightenment, his inner strength greatly increased. The Purple Mist True Qi was consumed to nourish his meridians and body, while it continuously strengthened in its circulation.

Finally, a flash of divine light seemed to appear before Ji Boying's eyes, and the world turned white.

He slowly finished his practice, his energy channels becoming remarkably long.

Feeling the abundance of internal energy throughout my body.

"My self-created Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill has been perfected, and my inner strength has filled the Twelve Main Meridians. I never expected that this simplified sword move, combined with my understanding of the true meaning of the Five Sacred Mountains, would actually elevate my own realm. It was only with this profound understanding that I was able to guide my inner strength to generate so much Purple Mist True Qi, filling the Twelve Main Meridians. It's truly a double blessing."

Ji Boying lightly leaped up from the large rock.

As usual, he took the long sword in his hand and began to draw on the stone wall.

In an instant, three characters, written in the same elegant and powerful style, were engraved on the three characters "Feng Qingyang".

Just look at the word "Ji", the strokes are strange and dangerous, and the sword meaning is dangerous. The word "Boying" is divided into four parts, and each part is also in the strokes, revealing the sword meaning of the other four mountains.

What is most remarkable is that the five different sword intents are seamlessly connected and resonate with each other. This is no longer a separate Five Great Mountains Swordplay, but a profound sword technique that integrates the essence of the Five Mountains.

"I was originally laid out by the Mount Hua Sect. This Seventy-Two Sword Techniques is based on the essence of the Twelve Mount Hua Swordplay and absorbs the essence of the Five Sacred Mountains to form the general outline of the sword technique. The Five Sacred Five Great Mountains Swordplay have also innovated and developed, resulting in the Twelve Sword Techniques with a total of sixty moves."

Ji Boying was fairly satisfied with his own creativity.

"Throughout history, emperors have admired the magnificence of the Heavenly Achievements and performed the Fengshan ceremony at the Five Sacred Mountains. This sword technique integrates the essence of the Five Sacred Mountains, reaching new heights and thus being called the Heavenly Merit Five Directions Sword."

Name: Ji Boying

[Skills: Heavenly Merit Five Directions Sword: Proficient (214/800), Pure Capital Purple Minor Divine Skill: Perfect, Stone Splitting Jade Breaking Fist: Perfect, Heart-Piercing Palm: Perfect, Nine Azure-Character Strikes, Eighteen City-Character Breaks: Perfect, Golden Wild Goose Technique: Perfect]

[Energy Points: 1. The system automatically regenerates 1 energy point per month. Energy is automatically reset to zero at midnight on the first day of each month.]

"Mission accomplished, we can descend the mountain now."

Ji Boying picked up his sword, gathered some of his belongings, and left the cave.

Standing on this precipice, looking at the surging clouds and the rustling pines, I felt a sense of openness and expansiveness.

It evokes a sense of spiritual connection with the universe and a feeling of being on a celestial ethereal journey.

Wonderful!

Ji Boying leaped down the mountain.

Before long, we arrived at Sky Lute Gorge.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were also diligently practicing their skills.

The Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill that Ji Boying passed on to them was different from the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

You only need to systematically cultivate the Twelve Main Meridians to accumulate internal energy, unlike the Purple Mist Divine Skill where each level of skill is a separate hurdle.

Even after years of study, one may not be able to break through the bottleneck.

The current Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill uses the Dantian as a palace and the orthodox meridian as a celestial river. As long as the celestial river is connected and internal energy is accumulated, one will naturally have overwhelming internal energy. It is the broad road to becoming the number one in the martial arts world.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze practiced their skills diligently, making progress every day, which made them very happy.

"Master, Mistress, I'm back."

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze turned around in surprise.

"Boying, your... your skill has deepened again!"

Yue Buqun looked at Ji Boying and saw that his expression was restrained, his eyes were warm and gentle, and there was a sense of mystery and naturalness in them.

Clearly, his skills have improved again.

It's truly amazing.

"Master, I have been fortunate enough to gain some insight, which is a pleasant surprise."

Ji Boying then told Yue Buqun about his accidental discovery of the Cliff of Contemplation.

This greatly surprised Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who, upon reflection, found that their respective sects' histories matched up.

They were pleasantly surprised to learn that the cave contained many exquisite sword techniques from the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects, many of which were techniques that had been lost to the sects.

Without wasting a moment, he leaped up and headed towards the Cliff of Contemplation Repentance.

But Ji Boying gently stopped him.

He then handed the book containing three hundred sword techniques to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun actually kept rubbing his body with both hands, as if on a pilgrimage, before finally holding the dusty book in his hands.

Even the dust seemed like part of the glory, and I dared not brush it away lightly.
