Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.
After dinner, everyone went to bed, while Xu Long secretly made his way to the Repentance Cliff, following his memory.
If even ordinary moves are this powerful, the Nine Swords of Dugu must be even more extraordinary.
The Repentance Cliff is a forbidden area of the Mount Hua Sect; only those who have committed serious offenses are punished by being confined there.
Inside the cave at Repentance Cliff is a cave within a cave, with the stone walls engraved with all the moves of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects and how to counter them.
Fifty years ago, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, elders of the Mount Hua Sect, obtained the " Sunflower Manual " and, after studying it, founded the Sword Faction Qi Faction respectively.
Twenty years later, the ten elders of the Sun Moon Holy Cult fought a great battle against Yue Su and Cai Zifeng atop Mount Hua in an attempt to seize the " Sunflower Manual." Although they successfully killed the two, they were surrounded by members of the other four sects of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news. Severely wounded, they had no choice but to flee.
The ten elders were not convinced and, after years of dedicated research, they found the key to countering the sword techniques of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, and then challenged Mount Hua to a duel.
The Tenth Elder possessed profound skills and had broken through the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects's techniques, directly defeating the experts who came to fight.
Just as the ten of them were about to win, Feng Qingyang lured them into the cave and then activated a mechanism to trap them inside.
The ten elders, severely injured and knowing their days were numbered, gave up hope of survival and instead carved all the moves and countermeasures of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects onto the stone wall.
Once Xu Long finds the cave within the Repentance Cliff, he won't need to scheme against the sword techniques of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects.
In this era without electricity, everyone rests after dusk.
Fortunately, Xu Long has evolved to this point and has long since transcended the realm of ordinary people.
As silently as a cat, they quickly arrived at the Repentance Cliff.
This is a giant peak right next to Mount Hua, connected to it by a suspension bridge.
The cave entrance was dark and deep, like the gaping maw of a giant beast.
Xu Long went inside and then took out a piece of equipment.
This thing is called a sonic detector, and it mainly relies on vibration to analyze the thickness of rocks.
"This is it, ten meters thick."
After stuffing the instrument into the storage space, Xu Long took out the World-Breaking Blade and quietly inserted it.
He dared not make too much of a commotion lest Yue Buqun discover him, so he could only wear him down little by little.
Just as Xu Long guessed, this world is of a very high level, and everything, including the space itself, is extremely sturdy.
In the Main World, Xu Long could shatter a hundred-meter-high mountain with a single sword strike, but in this world, he'd be lucky to cleave a ten-meter-high mountain.
Fortunately, the World-Breaking Blade is extremely sharp, more than enough to deal with some stones.
After digging for almost two hours, Xu Long finally dug a hole.
Xu Long took out his camera and photographed everything on the stone wall. Then he turned and left without hesitation.
Of course, he didn't forget to plug the hole again before leaving.
Xu Long doesn't rely on these sword techniques to kill enemies, so there's no need to destroy them all.
Avoid doing things that harm others without benefiting yourself, or you'll easily become a fool.
As for Feng Qingyang, who was living in seclusion here, Xu Long was in no hurry to meet him, and didn't even bother to find his location.
There's no need to cling to such senior masters; when the time is right, they'll come to you naturally.
Okay, to be honest.
In fact, Xu Long never found where the other person was...
Having cultivated to this level, Xu Long possessed a photographic memory. He took the photos mainly for the Red Queen to study.
Returning to his residence silently, Xu Long closed his eyes, his mind filled with the moves of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects.
There are very few sword moves that require specific postures and Internal Force circulation routes; often, a set of sword techniques only contains one move.
All other moves are basically based on this one move, and no matter how they are used, they can be linked together.
If you master a set of sword techniques, you won't encounter the awkward situation that Xu Long imagined, where you need to start with a dance.
The first move Phoenix Comes in Grace," followed by "Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun. "
White Crane Spreads Its Wings in front, followed by Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun.
Autumn Wind Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves in front, while Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun behind.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what techniques you use, as long as you can keep going.
The more exquisite the swordsmanship, the more perfect the transitions between moves. This requires a lot of time to practice and also the guidance of a master.
Xu Long had neither the time nor the ability to consult Yue Buqun.
But he has the Red Queen, who is better than hundreds of Yue Buqun.
After extensive calculations, the Red Queen determined several optimal moves that can be mastered with a few days of practice.
As for the different effects of Internal Force passing through different meridians, this requires further analysis of a large amount of material and data.
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Long was summoned by Yue Buqun and asked to represent the Mount Hua Sect at Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony at Southern Sacred Mountain Heng.
The phrase "washing hands in a golden basin" refers to pouring water into a golden basin and then washing one's hands.
Okay, that's all nonsense.
"Washing one's hands in the golden basin" means retiring from the martial arts world, severing ties with past entanglements, and no longer participating in its affairs.
But is it really that simple?
The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Having done too many bad things, do you now just want a peaceful retirement?
Are you kidding me!
They themselves lost their fighting spirit, while the enemy was filled with murderous intent. With this shift in power, most people who wanted to retire from crime would not have a good outcome.
This Liu Zhengfeng is the same!
On the day of the ceremony, a group of members of the Demon Cult Sect stormed into the Mount Heng Sect and killed him.
If he hadn't retired from his life of crime, he might have lived for decades longer; but once he did, he died instantly.
However, before going to the Mount Heng Sect, Xu Long planned to visit the Qingcheng Sect first.
In the original story, Linghu Chong was ordered by Yue Buqun to go to the Qingcheng Sect to apologize, but he was subjected to all kinds of humiliation. Even Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, shamelessly attacked him.
Of course, Xu Long's trip to the Qingcheng Sect wasn't for such a trivial matter; his purpose was to obtain the " Bixie Sword Manual."
The Qingcheng Sect somehow obtained information that the Lin Family Escort Agency possessed the " Bixie Sword Manual," and thus plotted to wipe out the entire Lin Family Escort Agency.
However, they could not find the whereabouts of the " Bixie Sword Manual " and had to give up.
Linghu Chong discovered the Qingcheng Sect's plan and rescued Lin Pingzhi.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Lin Pingzhi was no good; he thought Linghu Chong only saved him for the " Bixie Sword Manual," and later even turned against Linghu Chong.
In the original story, Linghu Chong had the " Nine Swords of Dugu " in hand and had no interest in the " Bixie Sword Manual ".
But Xu Long is different; he not only wants the " Bixie Sword Manual," but he also wants to kill Lin Pingzhi.
As the saying goes, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly.
After packing his bags, Xu Long set off.
His performance over the past few months has been outstanding, which pleased Yue Buqun greatly, leading him to allow Yue Buqun to represent the Mount Hua Sect at the Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony.
