"Please, young friend!"
Zhang Sanfeng personally led Wang Hao to a huge mansion at the foot of Mount Wudang, where all the junior members of their Taoist School Taoist School who had gathered in recent months were temporarily residing, in preparation for Wang Hao to be selected.
Since Taoist School also plays a significant role in his plans, Wang Hao did not refuse when Zhang Sanfeng brought it up, and the group then arrived at the residence.
Of course, only the Taoist School came; the martial arts practitioners were left on the mountaintop.
After all, what follows is a highly confidential matter concerning their Taoist School, which is related to the rise and fall of the entire Taoist School. It cannot be taken lightly and naturally cannot be known by other forces.
The process was the same as it had been at Old Zhu Household: putting on a show while secretly having Xiao Mengmeng activate the Treasure-Seeking Function to select the most talented children and teenagers.
The Taoist School truly lived up to its reputation as the second largest power in the Central Plains. Even without the blessing of National Fortune, the geniuses they selected were no less outstanding than those of the Old Zhu Household, bringing Zhang Sanfeng and the others great joy.
Having finished these tasks, Wang Hao, with a cold expression throughout, didn't linger and went straight back to the mountain peak. While practicing the Solar Lunar Shaping Method, he also perused the many classic texts and inheritances sent by the Taoist School.
Wang Hao's reading style this time was very sophisticated. He directly used the technique of Divine Sense Object Control to make the books float in front of him and flip through them quickly, and he did it all at once, ten books at a time.
Since his transformation into Innate Divine Sense, his memory has increased tenfold, and his reaction ability has also been greatly improved, from being able to remember everything he saw and read ten lines at a glance to being able to read ten books at a glance.
This makes the viewing speed ten times faster than before.
However, Taoist School truly lives up to its reputation as an even more ancient and influential school of thought than Confucian School. The vast collection of Dao Classic they brought is astounding as the ocean, and this is only the most essential part after being selected by the Taoist School. The ordinary Daoist scriptures haven't even been brought out yet!
Wang Hao reaped a great harvest this time. What pleased him most was that there were many martial arts traditions from the Legend of Qin in the Taoist School, which almost encompassed all the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Although most of the transmissions of the Hundred Schools of Thought from the pre-Qin period are incomplete, they are still quite rare. It truly deserves to be called the number one hidden sect in the Legend of Qin!
What surprised him most was an incredibly ancient bamboo slip, on which the characters were fundamentally different from those in modern scripts.
This is a script from the Sengoku States periods. This Wuming bamboo slip is a manual of Daoist practices written by Laozi, the founder of Taoist School, and it fully expresses the essence of Taoist School.
"Now my Daoist Dao Classic and Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao are finally settled!"
Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Wang Hao was overjoyed.
The character he used this time is a Daoist priest from the Chunyang Palace in JX3. He also plans to develop the corresponding martial arts inheritance according to the settings in the Great Chunyang Palace, and has made some major modifications to it.
However, the prestige of JX3 was still a bit low, so he planned to also copy a part of Zhu Xian Qingyun Sect's legacy from Jade Dynasty.
However, the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao of the Qingyun Sect is too high-level. Even if he read through all the classics of the Taoist School, he would not be confident in deducing it, not even the first half.
But after seeing this bamboo slip, he gained confidence.
Of course, he was just using the high-class name of Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao; in essence, he couldn't possibly make a complete copy of the original Zhu Xian.
After all, it's just a novel. Borrowing the title is fine, and even borrowing some settings isn't too difficult, but if you borrow the entire content, that would be disastrous.
After reading through the last bamboo slip, Wang Hao closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and activated the system's Dao Comprehension Function to deduce the envisioned inheritance of the Great Chunyang martial arts and the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao.
When he came before, he only used his previous martial arts foundation to deduce a lightness skill and a defensive qi wall that could Suppress Heaven and Earth. These two were only for showing off. As for other moves, he didn't have any at all.
Now, with the numerous classic texts contributed by the Taoist School, he had greatly enriched his knowledge in this area, making it incredibly easy for him to deduce Taoist School techniques.
After keeping his eyes closed for a long time, Wang Hao finally opened them, a look of joy on his face, clearly having benefited greatly.
Although deducing these knock-off martial arts techniques consumes a lot of Fortune Points, it is also the most effective way to comprehend them.
In modern times, there is an efficient learning method: learn a subject and then teach it to others. If you can teach the other person, then you will have completely mastered that subject.
Although Wang Hao possesses a systematic Dao Comprehension Function, allowing him to thoroughly understand those martial arts classics with his Satori, he still lacks practical experience. This method perfectly fills that last gap.
"It seems you have benefited greatly from this experience, young friend!"
Zhang Sanfeng, who was protecting him from the side, said with a smile that the other Taoist School and martial artists also turned their attention to him, knowing that another great opportunity was about to be presented.
Wang Hao didn't say much. He used his Innate Divine Sense and Innate Qi to roll up a large ball of ink that he had prepared beforehand and began to print it on the Xuan paper next to him.
He stopped after a long while, and in front of him were hundreds of sheets of Xuan paper filled with densely packed tiny characters, each sheet containing the inheritance of a martial arts technique.
Some of these martial arts inheritances are his optimized and modified versions of Taoist School martial arts, while others are byproducts of his deduction of Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao and Chunyang martial arts. Although they cannot compare to the knock-off martial arts of Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao and Chunyang, they are not far off.
It is absolutely the best of the best, surpassing all the unique martial arts traditions in the Central Plains.
After all, this was deduced based on his current powerful martial arts foundation and comprehension comparable to Third Tier Earth Realm expert. It might not even be considered trash in a top-tier world like the Primordial Great World, but it is flawless in a low-level martial arts world like the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer.
After printing these martial arts manuals, Wang Hao turned his gaze to a beautiful figure who had been standing obediently beside him—it was Zhu Yunlu.
This girl had been introduced to Wheel-Turning King by King Yama two weeks ago. At the time, Wang Hao, adhering to his high-class philosophy, ignored her and didn't even glance at her.
But this girl knew her limits; for the past two weeks, she's stayed by his side without ever showing any dissatisfaction.
"You're quite good. I'll now give you three choices: first, inherit the Chunyang Dao Lineage of my overseas Taoist School; second, inherit the Daoist Dao Classic, the supreme treasure of my Taoist School sect; and third, inherit the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao, which I created myself."
Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Hao offered three options.
These three choices caused the Taoist School masters who were reading through the manuscripts to suddenly turn their attention to them, their breathing becoming much heavier. Even a Taoist School prodigy like Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Priest Chunyang. Could you please explain the three lineages to Yunlu in detail?"
Suppressing her overwhelming joy, Zhu Yunlu replied respectfully.
Although she knew that the Dao Classic was definitely the most precious, since this person could list the other two options side by side, they must be equally precious. However, judging from the names alone, she really couldn't tell which one was more suitable for her.
That's right, it suits you perfectly!
After being taught by her ancestor and peerless masters like Zhang Sanfeng, she has come to deeply understand that the choice of martial arts inheritance is not about which is more powerful, but about which is more in line with oneself, so that one can achieve greater success in the future.
Therefore, she did not immediately choose the Dao Classic that seemed to be the most valuable; she wanted to listen to the other two traditions first.
With an approving look, Wang Hao shook his head slightly and said, "No need to thank me, it's just a transaction. Afterwards, remind the Imperial Lord not to forget the agreement we made."
Zhu Yunlu and the Wheel-Turning King, who was not far away, felt a jolt in their hearts. They vaguely understood that Zhu Yanzu must have paid a huge price to secure this opportunity for Zhu Yunlu.
They didn't say much about it, only nodded, while the other martial arts practitioners' eyes flickered, and it was unclear what they were thinking.
"The Daoist Scripture is the supreme and precious inheritance of our Taoist School. Dao Classic been created by Laozi, the founder of our Taoist School. It contains a mysterious Spirit Origin that leads directly to the Shattering Realm. However, it is the most difficult to cultivate. To this day, apart from the founder Laozi, no one has ever cultivated it to the Shattering Realm."
The Chunyang Dao Lineage derived from the insights gained by the founders of our overseas Taoist School based Dao Classic Daoist scriptures, and has been continuously improved by successive generations of predecessors. It can be described as flawless and is the foundation upon which our overseas Taoist School stand.
It is divided into two paths: sword energy and Purple Clouds skill. It contains the Great Void Sword Intent and the Chunyang Instruction of the Heavenly Dao Sword Force Sitting in Forgetfulness Classic. Although it is not as profound and mysterious as the Dao Classic scriptures, it is simple and has a lower threshold for cultivation, which is conducive to the cultivation and inheritance of disciples.
The Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao is a unique skill created by this humble Daoist. It is envisioned to be divided into the Upper Purity Realm, the Jade Purity Realm, and the Taiqing Realm. The Upper Purity Realm corresponds to the Grandmaster Realm, the Jade Purity Realm corresponds to the Great Grandmaster Realm, and the Taiqing Realm corresponds to the Celestial Person Realm.
In addition, it can be paired with the four great sword techniques of my overseas Taoist School: the Ghost and God Slaying Sword Instruction, the Divine Sword Lightning Control Sword Instruction, and the Seven Stars Sword Instruction!
Everyone listened to Wang Hao's explanation with shining eyes, their expressions filled with eager anticipation.
Look at this, it truly lives up to its reputation as the supreme martial arts inheritance of overseas Taoist School. Just hearing the setting tells you that it's incredibly prestigious. Compared to it, the Central Plains are simply trash.
Even a genius like Zhang Sanfeng was deeply impressed by this, as his own Taiji Divine Art was far inferior to the other's.
"Master, aren't there four sword techniques? Why are there only three?"
Suppressing her excitement once again, Zhu Yunlu asked, puzzled.
"The fourth sword technique is called Zhu Xian. It is a fusion of the first three sword techniques. The combined power of the three is immense. It is the protective divine skill of our overseas Taoist School, but it can only be comprehended by oneself and cannot be passed down!"
Wang Hao explained with a smile that he genuinely didn't know that.
Although it is said that the Qingyun Sect has four great true techniques in the Zhu Xian" Zhu Xian", only the Ghost and God Slaying and Divine Sword Lightning Control True Instruction" appear. Even the "Seven Stars Sword Style True Instruction" is only mentioned briefly.
As for the fourth type, it has never appeared before, so in order to pay homage to the masterpiece " Zhu Xian", he named the fourth sword technique " Zhu Xian".
"Master, can I select all of Yunlu?"
Zhu Yunlu finally revealed her choice, a sly glint in her bright eyes.
Children make choices; real adults want it all!
This choice not only stunned Wang Hao, but also Zhang Sanfeng and the others around him. After regaining their senses, many of the Taoist School experts cast unfriendly glances at them.
These are all part of their Taoist School heritage; giving you one is enough, wanting them all would be going too far.
"That was a bit greedy!"
Shaking his head with amusement, Wang Hao said, "Giving you all of them is definitely not an option, but you can choose one more!"
After all, this was his cousin whom he had taken for granted, so he didn't mind giving her more benefits. Besides, this girl played a very important role in his plan.
Embarrassed, Zhu Yunlu stuck out her pink tongue and, after a moment's thought, stated her choice.
