"My lord, it's so good to see you alive!"
Following Wangcai to a mountaintop, Xie Feng's eyes reddened as he looked at the unfamiliar figure standing there.
Although the other party's physique was very different, through the mysterious connection between their bloodlines, he was able to confirm that the person standing on the mountaintop showing off was his master, Wang Hao.
After all, he knew that Wang Hao could transform.
After retreating as instructed by Wang Hao, he immediately went to the mountains to meet up with Wangcai, who was hiding there, and then found him using Wangcai's strong sense of smell.
During that time, he didn't dare show himself in public at all, and spent three whole days traveling through desolate places like towering mountains before finally finding Wang Hao.
"Wrong, now call me Wuming, Heavenly Sword Wuming!"
Turning around, Wang Hao, sporting a third layer of disguise, spoke with an air of superiority.
That's right, next he's going to go and copy the Heavenly Sword Wuming from the movie "The Legend of the Condor Feng Yun," the one who Ozymandias Heavenly Sword Wuming erhu at full health and roams freely when low on health.
Having previously copied Sword Saint Dugu, this time it's a good opportunity to copy his old rival.
His current situation is not good. Although he has deduced the eighth level of the Golden Bell Shield in the Hong Kong comic version and integrated it into the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, and has cultivated it well, he has completely mastered the physical body cultivation method and will begin to learn about meridian cultivation today.
In his setting, the first four levels of the Hong Kong Comic Version Golden Bell Shield are simply about cultivating physical strength, without including the concept of Qi. Only from the fifth level onwards will one begin to cultivate Qi and meridians.
Adhering to the core concept of "the Golden Bell Shield is broken and then rebuilt", the more severely the meridians are damaged, the stronger the meridians will be after recovery, which is equivalent to a kind of external tempering.
This is also the main reason why Wang Hao was willing to expend tens of thousands of Fortune Points to deduce the Hong Kong Comic Version Golden Bell Shield.
Firstly, it was to repair the meridians; secondly, to take the opportunity to temper the meridians and make them stronger; and thirdly, to prevent the sword energy in the body from going berserk again, thus buying time for the body's Innate Qi to refine it.
Therefore, it is best not to circulate Innate Qi in the body before the sword qi in the meridians and dantian is completely refined, and even the exertion of physical strength will be hindered.
This naturally resulted in a significant loss of strength, but in these three days he developed another kind of power.
It was the magnetic field cultivated through the Supreme Yoga Tantra that he had developed. Through three days of practice, he had cultivated his first Human Body Magnetic Field, thus entering the realm of Supreme Yoga Tantra.
"Yes, Mr. Wuming!"
His face twitched involuntarily, and Xie Feng responded helplessly.
This Lord is good in every way, except for his personality...
He didn't know what to say.
"Our target this time is the martial arts world on the border. Our sweeping strategy will be the same as that Guanzhong: first, we'll eliminate the ordinary forces, and finally head to the Mount Heng Sword Sect."
Wang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the rising sun in the distance.
"Waaah..."
Ignoring Wang Hao's arrogant attitude, Wangcai ran up and rubbed its big head against Wang Hao's back, almost pushing him off the cliff.
This time, in an attempt to show off, he stood on a mountaintop with a slope on one side and a steep cliff on the other; one more step forward and he would fall.
"Don't you have any sense of propriety, you idiot?"
Having finally regained his balance, Wang Hao glanced at the hundreds-of-feet-deep cliff with lingering fear, then turned around and slapped Wangcai's huge head with a gruff slap.
This creature seems to have no limit to its size; it has now grown into a colossal beast with a shoulder height of 1.5 feet and a body length of 2.5 feet, comparable to an elephant.
The increase in size naturally led to an increase in strength. He estimated that this guy now possessed at least 50,000 jin of strength, which was quite remarkable.
Of course, this thing's physical attributes are far inferior, mostly relying on its massive size. In terms of physical strength alone, it's far inferior to the Lion-Tiger Beast from Treasure Island of Ryukyu, let alone the wild boar from before.
But you can't blame him. That wild boar and that mutated Lion-Tiger Beast have been growing for who knows how many years, while Wangcai has only been around for a few years. Even with his Bloodline Power, it's impossible for him to catch up with those beasts in such a short time.
Compared to others, this thing's growth rate is already quite astonishing.
"Right, we need to pick a Hero Sword to decorate the place."
After giving Wangcai, that rascal, a hard knock on the head, Wang Hao opened the sword box strapped to its back and finally selected a magnificent and imposing longsword.
"Clang!"
"Okay, I choose you!"
With his longsword drawn, Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction.
This sword will accompany him as he conquers the border Mount Heng Sword Sect and displaying his legendary skill Heavenly Sword Wuming.
He forged a total of ten swords in the valley outside Xiangyang City. They were all of the same quality, and their designs were based on the longswords that appeared in games and anime. They were all exquisitely crafted and could be considered works of art.
Of course, since we hadn't decided what identity to use to pay homage to the Five Mountains Sword Sect at the time, we didn't choose a specific style.
I didn't initially think of using the character of Heavenly Sword Wuming, so I didn't create the Hero Sword. However, whether it's the Feng Yun comic or the Feng Yun TV series, the design of the Hero Sword is incredibly low-class, not even as good as the divine swords that appear in those games and anime on Earth!
The longsword he chose at this moment was a divine sword that appeared in an anime, and its style was quite in line with the setting of Hero Sword, full of righteousness.
"Since this time the character is Heavenly Sword Wuming, should I also get a erhu to play with?"
Looking at the knock-off Hero Sword in his hand, Wang Hao fell into deep thought.
After all, Heavenly Sword Wuming is not most famous for his Heavenly Sword realm or his move " Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin," but for his ridiculous character of Ozymandias at full health and then roaming around aimlessly when low on health.
"Forget it, the 'Full-blooded Ozymandias' persona is from Wuming's wife died and he retired. I'm currently in the transition period from my youth to middle age. At this point, I'm not Heavenly Sword Wuming, but Martial Arts Myth Wuming!"
After thinking it over, Wang Hao gave up the idea of developing his skills in the erhu, as it didn't quite fit his current persona.
Wang Hao was not very satisfied with the Wuming character in "Feng Yun," especially the permed hairstyle, which shocked him quite a bit when he watched it. Therefore, this time he used the image of Brother Hu Jun in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
The role of Qiao Feng played by Jun Ge in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils left a deep impression on him; the combination of righteousness and Haki presence was very impactful.
This perfectly suited the character design of Heavenly Sword Wuming, so he used it as a model to create a face that was nine-tenths similar to it. He also mixed some special potions to slightly modify the skin and hair color.
Although he could use the Thousand Faces Divine Technique to adjust his muscles, bones, and skin to disguise himself, he could only modify his appearance; he could not change his skin color or hair color. He also slightly adjusted his eyebrows.
This completely changed his appearance from that of the Sword Saint Dugu, making it impossible for anyone to see any similarities between them, thus minimizing the possibility of being seen through or suspected.
"By the way, from now on, call me the Martial Arts Myth Wuming. The 'Heavenly Sword Wuming ' title isn't appropriate yet."
After giving a few words of advice to Xie Feng behind him, Wang Hao took the two large boxes that were tied to Wangcai's back, carried them on his shoulder, and walked quickly down the mountain.
These two boxes contain the martial arts manuals he had previously obtained during his Guanzhong the Guanzhong martial arts world. He kept a batch on Wangcai and had Xie Feng take the other batch. Now both are sealed inside, and it's time to send them to Dongfang Bai.
"..."
Standing atop the mountain, Xie Feng silently watched Wang Hao gradually disappear into the distance, utterly unable to understand what difference his master's changed title made.
Martial arts legends and Heavenly Sword are really cool!
Unable to Xie Feng, Jiefeng simply stopped thinking about it and got up to descend the mountain in another direction.
He needed to secretly cooperate with Wang Hao to sweep through the border martial arts world, especially the Beggars' Sect Clan branches there, which also needed to be cleaned up. He also needed to recruit some useful people to help relocate those beggar children.
At the same time, he also had to prepare detailed intelligence on the major forces of the border martial arts world for Wang Hao, so that he could easily sweep through them later.
Regardless of what Xie Feng was secretly doing, Wang Hao went down the mountain and headed straight for the nearest city. He then used a reputable escort agency to transport the large box containing the secret manual scrolls to the old mansion in the east.
In ancient times, especially in martial arts worlds, bandits and powerful figures were rampant, and delivering goods often involved great risks, which is why escort agencies came into being.
These are all skilled martial artists, including many powerful ones. Given Wang Hao's willingness to spend money, the people he hired were certainly not mediocre.
Fortunately, one can travel by boat down the Yellow River, which is much less dangerous and faster than traveling by land.
Of course, when Wang Hao came to the door, he didn't use the pseudonym "Heavenly Sword Wuming," but rather a random pseudonym with an ordinary face.
After all, he's going to use the alias "Wuming" to cause trouble in the border martial arts world, which will inevitably lead to an investigation. It wouldn't be good if the investigation led back to the old Dongfang residence through this identity.
Therefore, we must be cautious in this regard; in short, it's always better to be safe than sorry!
Having settled this, Wang Hao went to the largest inn in the city, booked a room, and sat down cross-legged to begin nurturing the counterfeit Hero Sword with his Innate Qi, Divine Sense, and activated body magnetic field.
Although Innate Qi cannot circulate within the body, it is unrestricted outside the body, making it perfectly suited for carrying Divine Sense.
This is done in order to control the Hero Sword after it leaves the body. It is also a basic application of the Human Body Magnetic Field cultivated in Supreme Yoga Tantra, just like Magneto in X-Men uses magnetism to control metal.
In this way, he can control the Hero Sword to launch attacks outside his body, just like Sword Immortal in a fantasy novel.
Of course, it only has a hint of the demeanor of a Sword Immortal immortal.
Although he can now control the longsword to launch attacks outside his body by using magnetic force mixed with his Divine Sense, the control is extremely difficult, and he cannot add sword energy to the longsword outside his body. He cannot achieve the high-level operation of Sword Immortal. Otherwise, he would not be using the pseudonym Heavenly Sword Wuming, but Dugu Yuyun, the Sword Saint of Mount Shu in the Legend of Chinese Paladin.
Fortunately, the Wuming One in the movie Feng Yun 2 once used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin to control countless swords to clash with Jue Wushen. He can now do that level of operation. Although he certainly can't control that many swords, he can still manage a few.
The only difference is that Wuming uses his Heavenly Sword Realm to control the sword, while he uses the magnetic field he has cultivated in conjunction with his Divine Sense to control it.
It's impossible to definitively say which is better, but visually they are the same.
This is the main reason why he chose to use the character of Heavenly Sword Wuming, which exudes a high-class and sophisticated aura.
Now all that's left is to use my Divine Sense to refine this knock-off Hero Sword slightly, and then, after obtaining the information Xie Feng has gathered, I can begin my plan to sweep across the border martial arts world.
After plundering all the martial arts manuals in the border region, sending them to Dongfang Bai will bring in another large sum of Fortune Points.
