Farewell to the Heartless Valley.
Qiu Qianchi was in tears when she left.
She was already an extremely ruthless person; if Ye Zhuo n't been even more ruthless, she wouldn't have been able to evoke the maternal love within her.
Just as Master Yideng, grandson of Ye Zhuo, accepted Qiu Qianren as his disciple.
Unlike her brother, Qiu Qianchi did not truly convert to Buddhism.
They were simply intimidated by Ye Zhuo; in the face of absolute power, all the fancy tricks were meaningless.
Gongsun Lü'e shed a token tear, then quickly followed Ye Zhuo away.
The feeling of complete transformation experienced while cultivating the Jade Maiden Manual is something I will likely never forget in this lifetime.
Staying in the Heartless Valley and not following Ye Zhuo to embark on the path of martial arts is worse than becoming a nun.
Ye Zhuo was quite satisfied with the reward.
The Melancholy Ecstasy Palm.
Even Yang Guo's life of joys and sorrows is completely integrated with the Jade Maiden Manual Sutra, Quanzhen Mental Cultivation, Ancient Tomb Sect martial arts, Nine Yin Manual, Peach Blossom Island Inheritance, Dog-Beating Staff Technique, Toad Technique, and so on.
This set of palm techniques can be described as completely free and unrestrained; it is a true idealistic palm technique.
Only Yang Guo could unleash its full power, and even he himself could only unleash its full potential under specific circumstances and emotional states.
The Melancholy Ecstasy Palm!
In Ye Zhuo's hands, because it was a "perfect version," it had no flaws whatsoever.
Moreover, Ye Zhuo, having condensed his Primordial Spirit, could truly achieve a state of profound and soul-stirring beauty.
Incorporate your own emotions into it.
Its power will be amplified many times over as a result.
It's horrifying to even think about.
"Off we go, to Mount Zhongnan."
At the Mount Zhongnan Living Dead Tomb.
Ye Zhuo felt as if he were returning home as he stepped into this place.
Gongsun Lü'e, Li Mochou, Guo Fu were all friends she met during the Return of the Condor Heroes Era, and she found walking in Mount Zhongnan quite pleasant.
Not long after.
The group found themselves at the edge of the forbidden area, the Living Dead Tomb. If they went any further, they might encounter danger.
As expected.
As soon as I stepped into this place, a swarm of bees flew in.
This thing poses a great threat to those below the Grandmaster level.
It poses no danger beyond mythology, let alone to Longevity Dao beings.
No matter how many bees flew around, Ye Zhuo on it as if it were flat ground.
Until they appeared before the Living Dead Tomb Man, they stepped in as if no one else was there.
The air quality here isn't really that bad.
Lin Chaoying left many air vents back then, so living here wouldn't necessarily suffocate you, but long-term residence would easily make people pale.
If one possesses techniques like the Cold Jade Bed and the Jade Maiden Manual Sutra, one can go even further and become as fair as jade. Moreover, the Ancient Tomb Sect has its own unique beekeeping method.
Regular consumption of this honey can help eliminate internal impurities and promote overall well-being.
The path of martial arts has no end.
Having entered the realm of Martial Arts Myth, Ye Zhuo a mindset honed over hundreds of years, his heart now calm and undisturbed, yet he still retained a childlike innocence and burning passion.
However, they lacked the tranquil state of mind that Xiao Longnu possessed, viewing everything with serene indifference.
People are ultimately different.
If you are pursuing any path, you must leverage your own strengths and weaknesses to reach a higher level.
Don't strive for absolute tranquility.
After all, not everyone is like Xiao Longnu, and not everyone has the heart of a young boy like Ye Zhuo.
"This wine is quite good. I wonder what it would be like to add a little honey."
Ye Zhuo gulped down the whole pot of old wine he had bought outside Mount Zhongnan.
Look up and look at the Ancient Tomb again.
A figure in white was already close at hand.
Only a few rays of sunlight pierced through the gap in the Ancient Tomb, illuminating Ye Zhuo's back and the face of the girl in white.
Her appearance and temperament seemed to have merged into one, inseparable, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Her eyelashes were curved, and with each blink, her gaze was like the shimmering surface of a lake rippling in the wind.
"It's you again?"
"The leader of the Demon Cult Sect, Ye Zhuo, the former ruler of the Demon Kingdom two hundred years ago, has come to pay his respects."
Ye Zhuo spoke without being frivolous, but he wasn't exactly composed either; over the years, Ye Zhuo had developed his own temperament.
"I've heard of it. The Ancient Tomb Sect's records mention him as the greatest martial artist in the last two hundred years, a figure unprecedented in history."
Xiao Longnu's heart was as still as water. When she looked at Ye Zhuo, she felt that she had only seen something beautiful, without any other thoughts.
"What brings you here? The Ancient Tomb Sect doesn't welcome outsiders."
Xiao Longnu was already preparing to draw her sword and send the guest away.
Ye Zhuo laughed loudly, "Having cultivated a form like a crane, I sit beneath a thousand pines with two volumes of scriptures. I come to inquire about the Dao, but there is nothing more to say; the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle."
Suddenly, it dawned on me.
The clouds and mist obscured people.
As soon as Xiao Longnu looked up, Ye Zhuo was already right in front of her.
"From now on, the Ancient Tomb Sect will also be incorporated into the Demon Cult, and you will be a disciple of my Demon Cult!"
Ye Zhuo's words caused Xiao Longnu's expression to change, and she drew her sword and thrust it out.
He felt no pain despite being stabbed in the chest; his black robe was slightly torn, but his skin remained as still as a mountain.
No matter how Xiao Longnu used her strength and inner energy, she couldn't harm Ye Zhuo in the slightest.
"Your body!"
"A body of steel."
While chatting and laughing, Ye Zhuo knocked Xiao Longnu unconscious with a single palm strike.
After she fell into a deep sleep, she awoke while she was practicing the Jade Maiden Manual.
"Hateful!"
Xiao Longnu blushed slightly, never expecting that Ye Zhuo would cultivate his martial arts while she was unconscious.
Before long, he felt his cultivation level improve and became immersed in the growth of his true energy.
Moved by the experience, he quickly closed his eyes. His cultivation level rose rapidly as he enjoyed the transformation of his true energy brought about by the Jade Maiden Manual, and his mind was filled with joy.
Seven days later.
The whispers of those breaking through to higher realms within the Ancient Tomb Sect finally ceased.
The sounds of martial arts that reached Chongyang Palace kept countless people awake all night.
[Bite!]
[Main Quest Chain Completed: The Fifth Chapter of the Tomb Maiden's Shadow Mystery - Head to the Living Dead Tomb to meet Xiao Longnu again and quickly cultivate the Jade Maiden Manual]
[Quest reward obtained: Melancholy Ecstasy Palm (Perfect Version)]
The Melancholy Ecstasy Palm.
Ye Zhuo quickly mastered it to its peak.
There are seventeen palms in total, and apart from the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, no one can match them.
From the moment he created this martial art, it meant that Yang Guo had entered the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster.
As for the realm of Martial Arts Myth, only those like Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng, who lived to be over two hundred years old, can truly be called legends.
After all, even Zhang Wuji did not outlive Zhang Sanfeng, which shows that while martial arts are powerful and can improve physical health, they cannot truly grant Longevity Dao.
Ye Zhuo's <Martial Dao Longevity Art> and <Martial Arts Golden Core Formula> were created when there was no spiritual energy in the world.
Unleash your potential and continuously transform your physique.
This allows their internal organs and meridians to be different from those of ordinary people.
If it weren't for someone like Ye Zhuo, ordinary people would never have the opportunity to access more advanced martial arts.
[Main quest unlocked: The leader of the Demon Cult has disappeared from the martial world, now in seclusion in the Living Dead Tomb, awaiting the era of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber]
[Quest Reward: Primordial Heaven Skill (Perfect Version)]
There are many kinds of Primordial Heaven Skill in the world.
However, only Wang Chongyang's Primordial Heaven Skill gave him the upper hand in every situation. It can be said that before the advent of the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Scripture, each school had its own unique martial arts.
In Ye Zhuo's eyes, the Primordial Heaven Skill was nothing more than a foundation -Foundation Establishment internal energy cultivation method.
It has long lost its essential meaning. Using it for cultivation is merely to compare it with the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Manual.
"The era of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"
Ye Zhuo smiled; it seemed he would be staying in the Living Dead Tomb for quite some time.
