Martial Arts Crossover: Something's Wrong with This Evil Sect

Chapter 170 The Secret of Star Absorption

Dan Tianxie, however, became interested; these experts enjoyed playing around with this kind of ambiance.

The secret manuals of divine skills are not properly stored away; they are either tucked inside the Lankavatara Sutra or engraved in a large cauldron.

Then again, what decent person would go to such places to learn martial arts?

Therefore, it is clear that there is something fishy about this record of events; otherwise, the eunuch from the previous dynasty would not have said that he would be interested.

You should know that the only things that could interest him, besides martial arts manuals, are clues to treasures.

Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie felt a surge of excitement. If he were to talk about these two things, he wouldn't be sleepy at all!

So he quickly stepped forward, took three steps at a time, and wrote down his observations of the martial world, then gently flipped through them in his hand.

What comes into view are lines of tiny characters, written in a style that is as ethereal as floating clouds and as unrestrained as cursive script.

Dan Tianxie frowned deeply as he read this. "If the person who wrote this is human, I'll eat them!"

This is written like gibberish, no wonder it's been left here to gather dust. Did this person write this for anyone to see?

Under normal circumstances, Shan Tianxie probably wouldn't even glance at it; why bother looking at it now?

But things are different now. With the reminder from his predecessor, he's determined to finish reading this book, no matter how bad it is!

And you must watch it attentively! Watch it consistently! Watch it with a humble attitude!

With this thought in mind, Shan Tianxie forced himself to concentrate and carefully read each line, afraid of missing even the slightest bit of important information.

To be honest, this travelogue is quite boring; it's just a monotonous account of events, the kind of thing that people would find annoying if they saw it.

Just as Shan Tianxie was thinking that nothing in the world is difficult if you are willing to give up!

A piece of news that most people would easily overlook, however, piqued his interest.

The reason why ordinary people wouldn't care.

Firstly, it records events from the Song Dynasty, and secondly, this sect has now basically disappeared.

The record states that a hundred years ago in the Song Dynasty, a celestial master named Xiaoyaozi emerged, whose origins were shrouded in mystery.

There are no records of it; it seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Since his birth, he had been unrivaled in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty. After taking on a few disciples, he disappeared without a trace.

Rumors circulated that several years later, his figure was spotted in a remote and uninhabited area of ​​Dali, suggesting that someone had received guidance from him!

"Xiaoyaozi? Dali?"

A strange light flashed in Shan Tianxie's eyes, and his mind was racing.

Speaking of Xiaoyaozi, he was quite a legendary figure. In the original novel, his martial arts skills were described as almost beyond the realm of mere martial arts practice.

Some people say that the Xiaoyao Sect is a sect where others practice martial arts while they cultivate immortality. If that's the case, then Xiaoyaozi must be at least a celestial master.

One person can create unique skills such as the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Art, the Lesser Formless Art, and the White Rainbow Palm Force.

Most importantly, that's not all; it's said there's also a general outline above it.

Claimed to be one of only two immortal cultivation techniques in the world of Jin-style martial arts, the Free and Easy Wind-Riding Technique!

Assuming the account in this travelogue is true, and that Xiaoyaozi did indeed spend some time in Dali.

That basically confirms the origin of the Star Absorbing Technique.

According to Shan Tianxie's thinking, it's possible that someone received his guidance at the time, but their own comprehension was insufficient.

Therefore, he slightly modified the Northern Darkness Divine Art and practiced it into the Star Absorbing Technique, which was then taken back from the tomb by the people of the Sun Moon Cult.

If I'm not mistaken, is it possible to combine the Star Absorbing Technique with the Northern Darkness Divine Art?

Looks like I really need to make time to visit the Song Dynasty!

The remaining information in the record was of little use to Shan Tianxie.

He casually put it back in its original place and began to select martial arts manuals from the third floor.

He wasn't cultivating for his own benefit. Rather, he was thinking about building up his power base and rewarding his subordinates.

We can't just take all the benefits from Paradise Valley, can we?

After a final selection, Shan Tianxie chose three martial arts techniques.

These are the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique, the Thirteen Protectors' Iron Bell Cover Technique, and a Blood Killing Saber Technique!

After forcibly memorizing these three martial arts techniques, Shan Tianxie felt dizzy and drowsy. As his eyes opened and closed, it was as if countless words were flying before his eyes.

He sighed inwardly. Life was truly bitter. Who would have thought that after finally arriving in this martial arts world, he would have to endure the hardship of studying!

Dan Tianxie slowly stood up, stretched, and immediately his whole body crackled and popped like firecrackers.

He turned to look at Yunluo beside him and said softly,

"Yunluo, now that we've finished, let's go out. I'm sure Eunuch Cao is getting impatient."

"Let's just wait!"

Yunluo muttered something under her breath. Although what her new master had said had touched her deeply, changing one's opinion of someone takes time.

The fact that she can now refrain from directly calling Cao Cao a eunuch is already a significant improvement for her.

Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie didn't say much and took the lead towards the stairs, with Yun Luo following closely behind.

Upon opening the door of the Sutra Repository, one could see Cao Zhengchun drinking hot tea in a distant pavilion.

However, the moment he saw the two of them, he immediately stood up and went to greet them.

Cao Zhengchun quickly walked up to the two men and first bowed respectfully.

Then, with a big smile on his face, his eyes kept sizing up Shan Tianxie.

It was as if they wanted to see how much benefit this young master of Bliss Valley had gained in this Scripture Pavilion.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

In terms of martial arts manuals, the library might not necessarily contain any superior ones compared to the Valley of Bliss.

After all, the Valley Master of the Bliss Valley could obtain Heavenly Rank martial arts techniques with a little effort.

Only the old eunuch in gray robes inside the library is the real living treasure!

What others didn't know was that he had also received guidance from that gray-robed old eunuch, which enabled him to so smoothly enter the Grandmaster realm.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly to Shan Tianxie and asked, "Young Master Shan, you must have gained a lot from your trip to the Scripture Pavilion?"

Dan Tianxie smiled and chuckled, "Thanks to Supervisor Cao, I have gained something."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's smile widened, especially after what happened with Yang Yuxuan.

Now, Bliss Valley is his natural ally, and the stronger Bliss Valley becomes, the happier he will be!

Then, under the dim light, the three of them walked out of the palace.

Along the way, Princess Yunluo warmly invited Shan Tianxie to rest in her palace so that she could later instruct him in martial arts.

Before Shan Tianxie could express his opinion, he already felt Cao Zhengchun's warning gaze from the side, the meaning of which was self-evident.

This is unacceptable! Whoever agrees will die!

Even princes had to move out of the palace after they came of age to avoid suspicion, let alone others.

This is a major taboo for the royal family, and a matter of bottom line!

If this is done, it could lead to a life-or-death struggle with the royal family!
