Holy Light Swordsmanship

Although Song Shuhang had already suspected a connection between the "Venerable Six Cultivations" and the Venerable Seven Cultivations " since he learned about the " Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations " and the " Four Cultivations of the White Jade Lion ".

But now, Venerable Seven Cultivations, as if reciting a familiar story, pointed out the way Song Shuhang and the others would advance through the Ancient Tomb. He started spoiling the plot along the way, pointing out traps here, treasures hidden there... What's so special about that?

It's like reading a walkthrough before you even start playing a classic single-player game, only to find that the game itself is completely uninteresting!

This is the situation of Song Shuhang and others.

What was originally an exciting and thrilling exploration of ancient tombs has now turned into a tourist attraction.

Thanks to Senior Seven Cultivations's spoilers... Song Shuhang and the others actually managed to acquire some small items.

Chu Chu received a 'Demon-Breaking Arrow', which, like Talisman Treasure, possesses near -Fifth-Grade destructive power once activated.

Yu Jiaojiao obtained a water-type 'Turtle Pearl', which, when worn, could keep her body moist. This allowed Yu Jiaojiao to avoid frequently using magic to maintain her body's moisture when living in a dry land environment, saving a lot of magic power.

Li Yinzhu obtained a bomb-like object that, once thrown, would explode into a cloud of highly poisonous mist.

These items are not treasures inherent to the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations' itself—after all, it is the tomb of a Venerable, and the treasures inside could not possibly be these low-level trinkets.

These treasures were items left behind in the Ancient Tomb by cultivators who had ventured there to explore in the past, after encountering accidents within Ancient Tomb...

And Song Shuhang obtained a swordsmanship manual!

The long-awaited sword technique manual!

Not the kind of mass-produced, generic product.

Its name is <Holy Light Swordsmanship>.

Judging from the name... it doesn't seem to fit the style of China.

"This is a decent sword manual. Its style is upright and its direct power is quite good. It has a total of six moves, and it can be used from the Second-Grade all the way up to the Fourth-Grade without any problems." This was Venerable Seven Cultivations's fair evaluation of this sword manual.

However, there is a small problem—this <Holy Light Swordsmanship> is not something that originated in China.

It originated from the swordsmanship of the Western Holy Church Knights in ancient times. After it was introduced to China, it was modified by a highly skilled cultivator.

The swordsmanship retains the style and characteristics of Western Holy Church Knights swordsmanship.

To put it nicely, this is a swordsmanship that combines Chinese and Western elements.

However, this style of swordsmanship is not suitable for China sword practitioners.

When Song Shuhang opened the first page of <Holy Light Swordsmanship>, the first move was: Holy Light Slaying Evil Sword. The Sword Formula was: Holy Light, that evil looks worthy of a fight!

Turn the page again, the second move: Holy Light Cross Sword. Sword Formula: A worthy opponent, fight for glory!

What the hell is this?

Has this swordsmanship manual gone off-script?

Song Shuhang had an urge to tear this sword manual to shreds.

But after thinking it over, he finally put the book of "Holy Light Swordsmanship" away... It was a sword technique after all, and he could practice it casually if he had some free time.

Moreover, this <Holy Light Swordsmanship> is not entirely useless; at least after mastering this sword technique, one can build muscle.

Building muscle can indirectly improve a cultivator's physique.

At worst, we can Body Refinement exercise.

Along the way, the "Seven Cultivations Ancient Tomb Strategy Guide" kept spoiling the plot, allowing Song Shuhang and his companions to avoid numerous traps, easily navigate through mazes, and escape lurking dangers.

So, this 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations' is yours, isn't it, Senior Seven Cultivations Cultivator?

Song Shuhang was confident that as long as he followed Senior Seven Cultivations, he would have no problem clearing all the way to the deepest part of the Ancient Tomb.

However, Venerable Seven Cultivations, a spoiler, didn't manage to reveal the whole story from beginning to end.

After passing through the outermost area of Ancient Tomb, and officially entering the 'True Ancient Tomb Area', seven forks appeared in front of Song Shuhang and his companions.

Chu Chu: "There are seven forks in the road."

Yu Jiaojiao: "Which path should we choose?"

Song Shuhang looked at Senior Seven Cultivations: "Senior, which way do I go?"

"Ahem... Young eagles must eventually leave the nest and soar high. On the journey of life, you cannot always rely on your elders; it's time for you to make your own choices," Venerable Seven Cultivations said solemnly.

Song Shuhang said, "Okay... how should we choose, vote or throw tree branches?"

Chu Chu: "Let's throw tree branches instead. Throwing tickets is too much trouble because there are seven lanes."

Yu Jiaojiao: "Agreed, let's throw tree branches. Whoever's lucky gets to throw one."

Li Yinzhu held onto Song Shuhang's clothes, remaining silent.

Chu Chu replied, "I feel my luck is so-so, so I won't throw it away."

Song Shuhang silently looked up. "I'll pass." He's a man who often encounters misfortune. It's a miracle he's still alive.

"I say, why do we have to throw tree branches? If there are seven forks in the road ahead, shouldn't we split up and each person choose a path?" Venerable Seven Cultivations couldn't help but remind him.

Song Shuhang was someone who respected the opinions of his seniors, so he said to his companions, "Shall we split up?"

Yu Jiaojiao: "Okay, let's break up then."

Chu Chu: "Then let's split up, but actually I feel like it's pretty silly! It's like the plot of a horror movie, whenever the main character and the supporting character are separated in a dangerous environment, there's always a supporting character who gets killed. We could look after each other if we went together..."

Song Shuhang: "..."

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "..."

************************

In the end, Song Shuhang and his group parted ways, each choosing a different path.

After all, this was the suggestion of the Venerable Seven Cultivations, the 'Humanoid Strategy Guide'—everyone knows that the Venerable Seven Cultivations is connected to this 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations,' so his opinion should be taken seriously.

Chu Chu chose the fifth path. She glanced back at Li Yinzhu and then plunged into the fork in the road.

Yu Jiaojiao chose the second path.

Li Yinzhu chose the first path, and before entering, she looked at Song Shuhang with reluctance.

Song Shuhang chose the seventh route.

The four figures disappeared into the fork in the passageway.

The white Four Cultivations White Jade Lion, licking its paws, said, "All four of you have gone inside."

Venerable Seven Cultivations said, "Then let's go in too. Four Cultivations, take good care of young friend Shuhang and the others, don't let them mess things up. Last time in the 'Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations Cultivators,' Three Waves Sanlang messed up and almost lost his life."

Four Cultivations: "I feel that people who court death like Three Waves are rare in this world."

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. Besides... young friend Shuhang is also a member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. A few days ago, when I logged in to spy on him, the fellow Daoists in the group were discussing his Daoist titles, one of which was 'Overlord Blade Song Three.' This Daoist title immediately reminded me of 'Three Waves.' Be careful."

The White Jade Lion, Four Cultivations: "That makes sense. We should pay more attention to them."
