Strictly speaking, the martial arts manuals of the former Great Cai Dynasty were not difficult to decipher.

Although the writing conventions and many meanings were different from today, the script and culture were passed down in a single lineage. Furthermore, the Great Cai Dynasty had collected martial arts manuals from all over the land and performed deductions.

Therefore, these martial arts manuals, compiled by the Great Cai Dynasty, were written according to the Great Cai Dynasty's standards.

In other words, these were standardized martial arts manuals!

As long as one grasped the key, it was not difficult to decipher them.

The difficult ones were two types of manuals: one type was too profound, and even if deciphered, they were hard to understand. This was not uncommon; many martial arts involved strange knowledge and subjective descriptions, so it was normal not to understand them.

In Shi Feizhe's previous life, didn't some countries perform "technological archaeology" and still not understand things?

The other type was more peculiar: manuals that even the Great Cai Dynasty had not deciphered. Usually, these manuals involved the "Spirit Barrier" or martial arts related to the human spirit.

Deciphering such martial arts manuals required a large amount of speculation and experimentation, which was extremely time and resource-consuming. However, this type of manual was relatively rare, so the Great Cai Dynasty also included these manuals in its library for future generations to reference.

The No Thought Divine Separation Art was such a manual!

After obtaining this manual, at Leng Qingqiu's instruction, Hua Wushuang began secretly establishing a manor, recruiting test subjects, and slowly performing deductions and experiments.

In the process, countless people went mad and countless people died.

In the current version, it was difficult for practitioners to get started, which was why they were recruiting disciples with great fanfare in Qiu Yang City, not fearing attention from others.

Afterward, it was just five taels of silver and a month's worth of food, which was merely a drop in the bucket for the Sun Moon Radiance Sect.

As for learning the incantation and spreading it everywhere, they wished others would do so to collect data!

"Sigh! Pay more attention to the people in that courtyard! No one has successfully cultivated this version yet, right?" Leng Qingqiu said.

In previous versions, some people had cultivated abnormally. In this version, no one had succeeded after several months, making him wonder if there were problems again.

"That fellow Liu Cheng came over just now and told me about the newly built manor in the city," he continued. "I know about that manor. City Lord Lan's intention is that after the Golden Buddha Sect and Heaven's Mandate Academy fight it out and a winner is decided, the manor will be given to one of them to serve as their sect's base in Qiu Yang City. But Liu Cheng suggested using a Buddhist style."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wushuang said, "They haven't even fought to a conclusion yet, and he's suggesting a Buddhist style. Is he confused?"

"I don't think he's confused. I think he knows the outcome of this battle in his heart and is here to show off to me!" Leng Qingqiu sneered. He knew that Liu Cheng was colluding with his younger brother, Leng Qianye, constantly undermining his authority as the sect master.

Now he was even colluding with outsiders!

"Do you need me to..."

"No need. I will handle this myself!" Leng Qingqiu said. "He's still thinking things are a bit too simple!"

"Yes!" Hua Wushuang replied.

"You should still keep a close eye on the manual and the progress in that courtyard!" Leng Qingqiu emphasized again and saw Hua Wushuang out.

"Yes! I will not fail the sect master's expectations!" Hua Wushuang bowed and said respectfully.

Meanwhile, in the small house where Shi Feizhe was staying, Fan Jianqiang watched Shi Feizhe cultivating the Sun Moon United Heart Art with a rather playful expression.

He had seen people seeking death, but he had never seen anyone seek death like this!

He practiced a manual taught by others without even thinking!

This large courtyard, where they ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept, what was the difference between it and surveillance or house arrest? He couldn't even see this, was he blind?

Truly brainless!

Are there still people like this in the Jianghu today?

Hmm... seeing his young age, he must be a newcomer to the Jianghu! He wondered if he could get out of this large courtyard normally!

This kind of cultivation method targeting the spirit, if not done well, would cause problems!

He didn't know how many people he had seen go mad from practicing martial arts! By then, this fool would be practicing until he was delirious, drooling from his mouth, tsk tsk tsk...

As he thought about this, he saw a clear light, seemingly real and illusory, emanating from Shi Feizhe. That was the "light" of his state of mind! Only someone with his cultivation level could detect it.

"Hmm?" Fan Jianqiang was puzzled.

Then, the seemingly real and illusory clear light transformed into a deity wearing magnificent armor with an indistinct face and a long sword. The two transformed into each other, attracted each other, merged with each other, and finally split into two, integrating into Shi Feizhe's body.

Shi Feizhe opened his eyes, and a foot of divine light shot out from them. He said, "What a Sun Moon United Heart Art! It is truly profound!"

"Ah?" Fan Jianqiang was still bewildered.

No, what was going on?

"Just getting started has greatly increased my spirit. It is truly a good cultivation method!" Shi Feizhe exclaimed in admiration.

The Sun Moon United Heart Art involved visualizing a sun-moon mirror in the sea of consciousness. The person in the mirror was him (the moon), and the person outside the mirror was also him (the sun). Finally, the mirror disappeared, and his spirit actually split in two!

I am looking at the me in the mirror, and the me in the mirror is looking at me!

If one's cultivation was profound, one could also visualize double-sided mirrors and multi-sided mirrors to split one's mind into multiple parts. It was truly wonderful!

Now, he could simultaneously visualize the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Heart Sword in his mind!

It was truly an incredible martial art!

???

Fan Jianqiang had a face full of question marks.

No, are you a shill, kid?

He hadn't practiced that so-called Sun Moon United Heart Art, but he had heard of it! With his knowledge of martial arts, he could naturally see that there were many contradictions and ambiguities within it.

If someone could actually cultivate it, he'd eat the table right now!

Could it be that the good-for-nothings from the Sun Moon Radiance Sect had guessed his identity and sent someone to test him?

Impossible! With how useless Leng Qingqiu of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect was, he definitely wouldn't be able to discover him.

"You really cultivated it?" Fan Jianqiang asked, looking at Shi Feizhe. "You only received the transmission of the art half a day ago!"

Cultivated it in half a day? Who are you trying to fool!

"I'm not particularly talented, I just cultivate a bit faster!" Shi Feizhe said proudly.

You're lying to Lin Bei!

It wasn't like he hadn't seen martial arts prodigies before! It was true that martial arts prodigies cultivated faster, but how could a fake secret manual be cultivated successfully!

"Are you feeling alright now?" Fan Jianqiang looked at Shi Feizhe, afraid that he would suddenly go mad the next second and run naked through the courtyard.

"I'm feeling great! Full of energy, refreshed! My thoughts are much sharper too!" Shi Feizhe said truthfully. "Brother Fan can also give it a try! This is indeed a very profound cultivation technique!"

Fan Jianqiang didn't believe Shi Feizhe, this stooge, and said, "The Sun Moon Radiance Sect said that if anyone cultivates the Sun Moon United Heart Art successfully, they will be rewarded with ten taels of gold! You should hurry and find Yin Tieyan to claim your reward!"

"That's true!"

Shi Feizhe hadn't expected there to be a reward for cultivating a technique. The Sun Moon Radiance Sect was truly a good sect!

Looking at the sect's appearance, it was clear they weren't short on money!

"Once I've claimed the gold, I'll treat Brother Fan to drinks at a restaurant!" Shi Feizhe said, then excitedly ran into the courtyard to find Yin Tieyan.

Fan Jianqiang watched Shi Feizhe's happy demeanor, which didn't seem fake. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, I didn't expect you, kid, to be such a good actor in the Jianghu!

Don't even think about fooling Lin Bei!

The show begins!
