Chapter 104 The Bystander in the World of Tianlong 10
While waiting, Liu Yuxi suddenly remembered that Xu Zhu's opportunity was gone, Ding Chunqiu had been killed by her, and the Xingxiu Sect had been disbanded by her. Would this Shaolin Temple gathering still be as exciting as in the original drama?
She decided to stop thinking about it and let it be. She was just watching from the sidelines; the outcome of the story was none of her business.
On the day of the Shaolin Temple gathering, Liu Yuxi discovered that, apart from Ding Chunqiu, who was indeed dead, everyone else who was supposed to be there was present. Xu Zhu's martial arts had also improved, but it was no longer the style of the Xiaoyao Sect. Was this the power of the novel's plot?
Liu Yuxi followed the sweeping monk and watched the whole story unfold. After everything was over and Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo became monks, she felt it was all rather pointless.
Perhaps it's because she doesn't believe in Buddhism, but she always felt that if a bad person becomes a monk, all the bad things they've done are forgiven and there's no need to pursue them anymore? Why should that be? What kind of punishment is becoming a monk?
However, this was none of her business, and she didn't concern herself with it. She did one thing: she used the "Soul Searching Technique" to identify the person among those present who practiced the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
She emphasized to them that the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect must not be passed on to each other in private, and if she found out, she would be ruthless! As she spoke, she released her full aura, which shocked everyone present.
She also instructed Duan Yu that the Beiming Divine Skill must not be passed on to his descendants; otherwise, she would have no choice but to disregard the friendship between her master and Duan Siping! After all, this skill is somewhat evil, and if the practitioner's character is not good, it would be a disaster for the martial arts world!
Regardless of their reasons, everyone who had practiced the Xiaoyao Sect's techniques agreed, and Duan Yu also accepted.
After leaving Shaolin Temple, Liu Yuxi began to travel all over the world. He would buy things he liked and store them in his space, intervene in injustices, and stop to learn skills that interested him but he didn't know how to do.
When they finally reached Lingjiu Palace, they discovered that Tianshan Tonglao had already returned. In this life, without Xuzhu absorbing her and Li Qiushui's internal energy, neither of them could defeat the other. Since she hadn't killed Li Qiushui last time, and the time for her to dissipate her internal energy every thirty years had come again, she had come back to find a place to hide from Li Qiushui.
When Li Qiushui learned from Tianshan Tonglao that Wuyazi had died, she was filled with emotion. However, unlike Tianshan Tonglao, who loved only Wuyazi throughout her life, she was now left with only her entanglement with Tianshan Tonglao.
Ten years have passed. When he told Tianshan Tonglao that he was going back to find his master, Tianshan Tonglao's expression shifted slightly, but she ultimately sighed and said:
"Please tell Master that your unfilial disciple, Wu Xingyun, will not be returning. Once a new sect leader is confirmed, let him take over Lingjiu Palace. I'm afraid my time is running out."
Having agreed to Tianshan Tonglao's request, Liu Yuxi returned to the valley, but did not see her master. Instead, she found only a letter and two boxes of gold and silver jewelry left by her master. Here we go again?
The letter said that he had gone to pursue the supreme Dao, and that Liu Yuxi was free to act as he pleased, only remembering that the Northern Darkness Divine Art must not be passed on indiscriminately, and nothing else.
He doesn't care what's happening to his disciples, nor does he care about the future of the Xiaoyao Sect he founded. It really is true; to put it nicely, it's called being carefree and spontaneous, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just extreme self-centeredness? He doesn't care about anything.
Pouting, Liu Yuxi thought, "I wish I could be like that. Only people like that can live a carefree life!"
I wonder if Master Xiaoyaozi can break through the void. After all, the martial arts of their Xiaoyao Sect, as described by Jin Yong, have already transcended the scope of traditional martial arts and developed in the direction of cultivating immortality.
Based on her master's current age, if we disregard the traditional martial arts cultivation levels and consider the levels in the fantasy world, he should at least have broken through to the Innate Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived so long. Keep in mind that Zhang Sanfeng only lived to be 218 years old.
The effects of the Fountain of Immortality are likely limited to maintaining a youthful appearance. The main reason for this is probably the cultivation method itself; she should be able to live until the time of Zhang Sanfeng.
Historical records indicate that Zhang Sanfeng was born on April 9, 1247 AD. Well, that's less than 140 years away. If we wait until he's 67 years old to enter Zhongnan Mountain to become a disciple of the Fire Dragon Immortal, and then enter Wudang Bridge Kuanzhi Mountain to found the Wudang School, well, let's not wait any longer!
She stored the two boxes of gold and silver jewelry in her spatial dimension and devoted herself to studying astrology in the valley, practicing martial arts techniques that she had not learned in the spatial dimension.
Unlike her master, she didn't need to go down the mountain to replenish seasonings and daily necessities, as she had everything in her space. In her spare time, she would tend to the land in the valley.
After two years, she couldn't stand it anymore. Her temperament wasn't right; she still preferred liveliness. It seemed that this kind of quiet life was simply not suitable for her.
After leaving the valley, knowing that he was destined to live a long life in this life, Liu Yuxi slowed down his pace, staying in each place for a few years to learn the local dialect and experience the local customs.
She returns to Lingjiu Palace every year to prevent the possibility that if Tianshan Tonglao were to pass away one day, and she didn't go to give the antidote to the death talismans to the thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island masters, those people might rebel again and destroy Lingjiu Palace.
If they encountered women and children who couldn't make ends meet, they would take them in and send them to Lingjiu Palace, where the four members of the Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum family would make arrangements for them. This was the only good deed that Tianshan Tonglao did in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
She would keep good-looking and exceptionally talented children by her side, and only after observing their character would she decide whether to teach them martial arts. Children with good character were taught different skills separately, just like Xiaoyaozi taught the "Three Elders of Xiaoyao".
She selected only the most talented orphan, bestowed upon him the name Ling Xiaozi, and taught him the Beiming Divine Skill and all the other martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. He was the future leader of the Xiaoyao Sect whom she was training. When she passed on her skills, she told him the principles of the Xiaoyao Sect for accepting disciples and passing on skills.
During the teaching process, she herself reviewed the material again and again, and even gained many new insights.
Once Tianshan Tonglao is gone, Lingxiaozi will be stationed at Lingjiu Palace to oversee its power. As for how he will control these forces after the deaths of the old thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island masters, that is his business.
With Ling Xiaozhi at Lingjiu Palace, Liu Yuxi no longer needed to return to Lingjiu Palace every year. However, when she was 80 years old, she passed on the "Seven Treasures Ring," the token of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, to Ling Xiaozhi.
He was also told that the Beiming Divine Skill could only be passed on to the next sect leader. If the next sect leader used the Beiming Divine Skill to commit evil, his martial arts would be abolished and someone else would be chosen instead.
These words also served as a warning to Ling Xiaozi, reminding him that he could not act recklessly just because he possessed the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.
Having lived in this world for over 280 years, Liu Yuxi could no longer stay in the story after Zhang Sanfeng had already left the plot of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". So he chose a burial site for himself, severed his heart meridian, and left this world.
