Azure Cloud Maze

Listening to Elder Wu's words, Qin Fengming couldn't help but be drawn in by them. Such a magical and unbelievable lightness skill was too contrary to common sense. ...www..com...

"May I ask Elder Wu, where is this technique located now? This disciple would like to study it."

"This technique is in the treasure pavilion of this manor. You can go and check it yourself. No one will stop you here." Seeing Qin Fengming's interest, Elder Wu chuckled.

Bowing respectfully, Qin Fengming eagerly bid farewell to Elder Wu and turned to walk towards the treasure pavilion in the manor.

When he first arrived at this courtyard, Qin Fengming had already seen the location of the treasure pavilion.

Watching Qin Fengming hurry away, Elder Wu couldn't help but chuckle twice and murmur to himself:

"Another young fellow who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. This technique has been in the treasure pavilion for hundreds of years, and very few people have truly mastered it. If it were easy to learn, it wouldn't be called an extremely difficult technique."

Regardless of what Elder Wu thought, Qin Fengming went straight to the door of the treasure pavilion. He bowed to the two burly men standing on either side and said respectfully, "Junior disciple Qin Fengming wishes to find a set of techniques inside. Please, senior brothers, make it convenient for me."

Looking at Qin Fengming, the two burly men merely nodded. Neither of them spoke nor obstructed him.

Although he didn't know why these two didn't stop him, since they allowed him to enter, Qin Fengming didn't hesitate. He pushed the door open with his hands and entered the treasure pavilion.

The treasure pavilion was very spacious inside, several zhang square. In the center were five bookshelves, each with three shelves: upper, middle, and lower. Each shelf held dozens to hundreds of books.

Seeing so many books, Qin Fengming was greatly surprised. These books were far more numerous than those he had seen in the Elite Hall.

He walked to the first bookshelf and casually picked up a book, opening it to reveal "Jade Maiden Swordplay Insights," written by a woman named Du Yuting. The content was extremely detailed, but unfortunately, she had no prior experience with this swordplay.

He picked up three more books in a row, all of which were about martial arts insights and experiences.

If someone who practiced the corresponding martial art saw these insights, they would be extremely excited. Simply understanding these books would greatly enhance their own martial arts.

However, these insights were not Qin Fengming's purpose for coming here.

He checked each bookshelf one by one. The contents included various martial arts, internal energy techniques, and weapon skills, all of which were lost arts of the world. Yet, he couldn't find the Azure Cloud Maze technique.

It wasn't until Qin Fengming reached the fourth bookshelf that he discovered this section contained lightness skill techniques.

After flipping through dozens of books, he finally found the book titled "Azure Cloud Maze" in a corner on the lowest shelf. Without bothering to read it, Qin Fengming excitedly returned to Elder Wu with the manual.

Seeing Qin Fengming's happy expression, Elder Wu naturally knew he must have found the manual. However, he didn't mention the difficulty of practicing the technique again.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Wu. This disciple has found the 'Azure Cloud Maze' technique manual in the treasure pavilion. However, this disciple has another matter to trouble Elder Wu with."

"Is there anything else you need this old man's help with? Feel free to speak directly." Hearing the young man's words, Elder Wu asked with a hint of surprise. He had already found the technique, so he wouldn't be looking for any martial arts to practice.

"This disciple needs some items to be made by a craftsman. May I ask if Elder can help?" As Qin Fengming spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a stack of blueprints from his pocket. These were the "Cold Star" structural component blueprints he had prepared long ago. He then respectfully handed them to Elder Wu.

Elder Wu took the blueprints with a look of confusion. After carefully examining them, he understood their purpose. He pondered for a moment, then nodded, "This is a blueprint for a hidden weapon. It's not difficult to make. Our sect has dedicated craftsmen who are very skilled in making weapons. Making these parts should be no problem. However, finding the materials to refine the core components will take some time. But you can rest assured, it will be completed in at most half a year, and as little as a few months."

"Then I ask Elder to take care of it. This disciple is extremely grateful."

After bidding farewell to Elder Wu, Qin Fengming returned to his residence and immediately took out the "Azure Cloud Maze" manual to study it carefully.

He spent five days doing this. During these five days, Qin Fengming, apart from eating and sleeping, was completely immersed in the detailed study of this technique manual. As his understanding of the technique deepened, the expression on his face grew increasingly solemn.

It wasn't until the sixth day that Qin Fengming gently put away the manual, his brows tightly furrowed, his face filled with confusion. After his careful study, this manual was extremely incredible. What was described in this manual completely overturned his understanding.

Just as Elder Wu had said before, if this technique could be cultivated successfully, one could leap into the air and move rapidly in the sky without needing any internal energy. Such a bizarre technique was like asking someone with no strength to wield a iron rod weighing dozens of pounds; it was simply too difficult.

In just a few days, although Qin Fengming had not yet grasped the profound mystery of this technique, he had not given up on it in the slightest. Although he was young, his mind was extremely tenacious. From then on, Qin Fengming's mind was constantly pondering the profound mysteries of the "Azure Cloud Maze"...

A month passed in the blink of an eye, but Qin Fengming had made no progress with this technique, having no clue.

Another month passed, and still no progress.

From then on, Qin Fengming became obsessed. Whether he was eating or sleeping, his mind was filled with thoughts of the Azure Cloud Maze technique.

One day, half a year later, Qin Fengming, who was sitting by a small stream in the courtyard, had a slightly dazed expression.

Suddenly, Qin Fengming stood up abruptly, quickly took out the manual, and scanned it rapidly. Then, he closed his eyes, his mind completely clear, and sat like that for several hours.

Even when the young servant who delivered food quietly came to his residence, saw the untouched food, and quietly packed up the bowls and chopsticks to leave, Qin Fengming did not wake up.

It wasn't until deep into the night that Qin Fengming suddenly stood up. His eyes flashed with brilliance, and his face was filled with joy. He let out a long cry, and the gloom of the past few months vanished with this cry...

Half a month later, when Elder Wu arrived at the back mountain of Rosy Cloud Peak with the completed hidden weapon parts and dozens of Heart-Questioning Nails, he saw a figure flickering in the forest from afar.

The figure moved from east to west, unpredictable. It was like a phantom, moving so fast it seemed like teleportation.

Standing there stunned, watching the constantly shifting figure, Elder Wu, who was well-informed, was extremely shocked. He knew clearly that the young Qin Fengming had undoubtedly succeeded in cultivating the "Azure Cloud Maze" movement technique.

Seeing Elder Wu arrive, Qin Fengming's figure moved, covering dozens of zhang in just a few blinks of an eye. He stopped in front of Elder Wu.

"Disciple greets Elder Wu. May I know if Elder has good news to tell Fengming?"

Looking at the young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in front of him, Elder Wu's expression was a mixture of surprise and joy. He replied to the question with a question, "I never expected you to have cultivated the 'Azure Cloud Maze' movement technique. This is the most joyous event for our sect in hundreds of years."

"This disciple was fortunate enough to glimpse the path, but still far from mastering it. It is not worthy of such praise from Elder. May I ask what business Elder has with this disciple?" Qin Fengming said calmly with a humble expression.
