The Shooting the Condors Era: Brothers Reunited
Time passes.
Ye Zhuo focused on cultivating martial arts, gradually comprehending the supreme path of humanity, and meditating day and night.
In this life, I was both a monk and a Confucian scholar, studying Yin-Yang and comprehending the Great Dao.
So,
Time has passed in the martial world ever since the establishment of the Demon Kingdom.
Demon Ancestor Ye Zhuo never restricted people from practicing martial arts, and as a result, martial arts flourished in the world.
It was many years later.
A master swordsman was born, who roamed the land and left behind longswords, soft swords, heavy iron swords, and the Solitary Nine Swords.
Because he worshipped the Demon Ancestor Ye Zhuo throughout his life.
Therefore, he was called the Sword Demon.
So,
Each generation in the martial arts world surpasses the last.
Not to mention the legend of Demon Ancestor Ye Zhuo, even the Sword Demon is gradually becoming unknown.
However, the worship of magic and martial arts remains deeply ingrained in people's bones.
It was late spring.
A martial arts manual has been created, named the Nine Yin Manual.
This scripture has two parts, which respectively record cultivation methods and unique martial arts techniques.
Even a single move or two by someone who has mastered the art can make them famous in the martial arts world.
In the blink of an eye.
Countless people have lost their lives because of this book.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to keep or leave was made by a martial arts competition held atop Mount Hua.
After the martial arts competition.
Everyone knows the Five Greats of the Martial World.
The past has long been buried in the dust.
The heroic act of the three Ye brothers Ye Zhuo brotherhood has long since faded into the past.
Not to mention the Six Meridian Divine Sword, which has been lost, even the One Yang Finger has only a handful of people who can master it to perfection.
Martial arts have declined.
The back mountain of the Quanzhen Sect.
Wang Chongyang, who was in charge of the Nine Yin Manual, was in a great mood. He wanted to write down what he had learned from the Nine Yin Manual in the Ancient Tomb and write down the method to decipher the Jade Maiden Manual.
Unexpectedly, a Wine-Drinking Monk appeared, and after defeating him in drinking, he saw the entire Nine Yin Manual and created his own Nine Yang Scripture.
"Hahahaha, this old monk is no match for alcohol!"
As the Wine-Drinking Monk spoke, Wang Chongyang gazed at him with hazy, drunken eyes.
At that very moment.
A cheerful voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Even the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect, far away in the Living Dead Tomb, were taken aback.
In an instant.
The Quanzhen Sect School collapsed in shock; not a single member survived.
Who possesses such profound inner strength?
"How have you been?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
A tall figure then appeared before them.
The newcomer was followed by six people: four disciples and two servants.
"Third brother!"
The Wine-Drinking Monk was already quite old, but the muscle definition on his body was still incredibly clear.
A hint of clarity appeared in his previously cloudy eyes.
He was overjoyed to see his sworn brother whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"The vast land you have created is truly magnificent; my elder brother and I have spent sixty years just to have traversed it once."
"Really? You've met before?"
For the past century, he has been in seclusion, cultivating his spiritual practice.
He only occasionally descends the mountain to travel.
Speaking of which...
The current Southern Emperor is still his grandson.
"Yes, I met him at the foot of the Pyramid forty years ago. Back then, my elder brother had already reached the Grandmaster for many years."
The Wine-Drinking Monk raised his wine jug and drank it all in one gulp.
He continued, still eager to elaborate, "I have already integrated the martial arts of the Carefree Sect with the Nine Yin Manual. One day, someone will surely learn it and be able to generate internal energy continuously."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Wine-Drinking Monk ignored Wang Chongyang stood to the side looking bewildered.
As if remembering something, he looked up at Ye Zhuo and said, "The world is vast, and there are always partings. I originally intended to live out my life in poverty and die, but unexpectedly, I had an epiphany while wandering the world."
Ten years ago, I stepped into an incredible Mythic Realm, and I still have nearly a hundred years to live.
When will I be able to see that person from my dreams again?
Want to see the person from your dreams?
It's probably referring to the princess of Western Xia.
Unfortunately, very few people live to be a hundred years old.
Even though the princess of Western Xia was quite knowledgeable in martial arts, she still couldn't outlive Xu Zhu, who became Martial Arts Grandmaster at a young age.
Now that things have come to this...
Xu Zhu's state of mind has deepened further, stepping into the Mythic Realm, with a lifespan of two hundred years.
The person I knew has long since passed away.
But he himself must roam the world alone.
With Xiao Feng's martial arts talent, if he had lived to this day, he would probably have already entered the Mythic Realm.
He must have had no choice but to walk alone between heaven and earth.
Grandmaster?
Myth?
Wang Chongyang was half-sober.
He was already Peak Expert, having defeated the Eastern Heretic, Ouyang Feng, Northern Beggar, and Southern Emperor Vice Admiral the Mount Hua Tournament.
This established his reputation as the number one of the Five Greats and the Central Divine.
Why did the names "Grandmaster" and "Myth" suddenly pop up?
Is it a state of being?
I've never heard of that before.
Wang Chongyang thought about it and felt something was wrong. He had also studied many martial arts classics and records.
Many of these legends are no longer reliable.
All that is known is that in the decades before he truly shone, martial arts masters seemed to have died mysteriously.
It was as if some demon was running rampant Zhang Wuji.
Everyone I've seen is dead.
In the end, this person died without even leaving a name, and no one knows where he went.
As for anything before that, it's even less reliable.
It is said that Ye Zhuo, the Demon Ancestor of the Supreme Demon Kingdom, is an unimaginably powerful martial artist.
He once killed an emperor, annihilated 20,000 cavalry, and shattered a mountain with a single punch.
Some even go so far as to say that he has an immortal Shadowkhan that watches over those people day and night as they build the Pyramid.
It even summoned eight divine beasts from the heavens to lend it a hand.
Now it sounds like a myth.
Therefore, martial arts practitioners regard Demon Ancestor Ye Zhuo as a figure who has been constantly exaggerated and boasted about by the Demon Kingdom.
They didn't even consider Ye Zhuo a person.
However, upon hearing the words of the Wine-Drinking Monk...
Wang Chongyang seemed to recall a record that the Demon Ancestor Ye Zhuo had two sworn brothers, the second of whom was a monk who had left the monastic life.
Now, hearing the Wine-Drinking Monk mention things like "elder brother," "third brother," and the monk's robes...
Wang Chongyang felt a buzzing in his mind.
Could it be that...?
Is the legend true?
This?
What's even more terrifying is that Ye Zhuo since his appearance, unless he has spoken.
Wang Chongyang wouldn't even notice him; it was as if this person didn't exist.
Upon careful consideration, it must be the pinnacle among martial arts practitioners.
At first glance.
Ye Zhuo was dressed in a black robe, yet his face remained youthful, fair and jade-like.
The six people behind him were all dressed in black robes, but their faces were covered by masks.
Mysterious, even unfathomable.
Hahahaha!
Ye Zhuo ignored Wang Chongyang's gaze and laughed loudly.
"The world has changed. Our Heavenly Dragon Era is long gone. Now it's the Shooting the Condors Era."
The martial arts world has declined; not only are Martial Arts Myth no longer possible, but even the Martial Arts Grandmaster is now impossible.
Look at this person, isn't he also Peak Expert, yet he shows no signs of longevity.
Ye Zhuo looked at Wang Chongyang, knowing that his days were numbered.
"His short life was not due to martial arts training, but rather to internal injuries and old ailments, which are treatable."
Xu Zhu did not refute Ye Zhuo.
Firstly, what my brother said is right.
Secondly, he was in a good mood today.
Seeing an old friend brings me boundless joy.
Is it curable?
Wang Chongyang had been cultivating the Primordial Heaven Skill since childhood, which allowed him to reach the pinnacle of his power in this lifetime.
He always felt that he was getting closer and closer to a certain level, but no matter what he did, he could never catch up.
I only realized today that martial arts have declined and become unreachable.
"May I ask, seniors, have you progressed further in martial arts to become Grandmaster?"
Wang Chongyang inquired sincerely.
Xu Zhu took a sip of wine before saying, "Peak Expert are still just mortals. Only by becoming Grandmaster can one extend their lifespan to a hundred years and unleash their power to shake mountains and rivers!"
"If you advance further and reach the level of the three of us brothers, you will gain two hundred years of lifespan, and your true energy will transform into Innate Qi, making it difficult to die. However, once your lifespan is exhausted and your blood and energy are depleted, you will surely die!"
The Martial Arts Myth must never cross this line again.
This is taboo.
However, nothing is absolute; otherwise, Xiaoyaozi would not have sought the method of Longevity Dao.
