Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Kumārajīva's body trembled, and he took several steps back, pointing at Yue Zhuoqun excitedly, "I know this move, it's called 'Shifting Stars,' right?!"

After all this time, I've finally learned a unique skill that I've heard of.

"Hehe, there are more ways to deflect attacks than just the shifting of stars!"

"Um?!!"

"The techniques of 'transferring flowers and jade,' 'the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth,' 'Tai Chi,' and 'shifting stars' all possess this effect."

Unfortunately, I happen to know all four of these martial arts.

"you you you……"

Kumārajīva's body trembled, his chest heaved violently, and he squatted down on the ground with a thud.

With palms clasped together, eyes closed, and a trembling voice, he recited:

"Amitabha, Amitabha, I must abstain from anger, ignorance, rage, and greed... No, this humble monk cannot abstain from them!"

He opened his eyes again, his gaze fixed intently on Yue Zhuoqun: "Benefactor, where did you learn such extraordinary skills? I admire you so much. No, you are simply the model for my day and night illusions!"

Kumarajiva became the national teacher of Tibet and was revered as the Great Wheel King. He was profound in both martial arts and Buddhist teachings.

Unfortunately, despite his profound understanding of Buddhism, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, he could not let go of his own inner attachments.

He was so obsessed with martial arts that he was almost possessed, and he pursued the world's most secret skills with fervor.

Any martial arts manual that catches his eye will be seized by any means necessary.

"So, how about it? Don't you really want to learn?"

Yue Zhuoqun had a big smile on his face. He knew that Kumārajīva was greedy and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but he didn't really have much ill feelings towards Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva simply liked martial arts; what could he have done wrong?

He stirs up trouble in the story, but he never actually kills a single person.

They are infinitely more endearing than those who claim to be righteous heroes in the martial arts world.

Yue Zhuoqun's question made Kumārajīva's eyes widen, and his mouth couldn't help but stretch to his ears. He nodded hurriedly, "I want to learn, this humble monk really wants to learn."

"You can learn it, but you have to exchange it for the Flaming Blade Technique."

Kumārajīva's smile froze instantly. The Flaming Blade was his most powerful martial art, and he was really reluctant to exchange it for it.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Then how many martial arts techniques can my Flaming Blade be exchanged for?"

“Of course it’s one, Master. Being too greedy isn’t good!” Yue Zhuoqun’s lips curled up. He’d taken the bait.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses."

"I just demonstrated the Heartless Slash, the Divine Blade Slash, the World Dominator, and the Celestial Immortal Sword Technique. They're no less powerful than the Flaming Blade. You can choose any one."

Yue Zhuoqun then explained to him the wonders of each martial art.

Kumārajīva was increasingly moved as he listened; these martial arts techniques all possessed unique Daoist principles and were indeed no weaker than his Flaming Blade.

He wanted to learn everything and was unwilling to give up any of them.

I have difficulty making choices!

"I choose the Heartless Slash!" he said through gritted teeth.

First, be ruthless; then, refine your emotions.

Controlling the sword with intention, and transforming the sword into energy, the sword's appearance makes the world lose its color, and can evoke the seven emotions and six desires in people.

It sounds like cultivation is very difficult, but the more difficult it is, the greater its power.

Besides, he is a high-ranking Buddhist monk. How could he not control his seven emotions and six desires?

At that moment, he completely forgot about the scene where he couldn't get rid of his greed, anger, ignorance, and rage.

"Benefactor, this humble monk also knows some Shaolin martial arts techniques, you see..."

"I've already collected all seventy-two unique skills!"

Kumārajīva immediately looked resentful: "Benefactor, you can't hurt this humble monk like this! My heart can't take it!"

However, Yue Zhuoqun changed the subject: "But I know of a few powerful martial arts techniques in this world. If you can find any one of them, you can exchange them with me..."

"What kind of secret technique is it? Where is it? This humble monk will go and snatch it... cough, find it!"

Chapter 129 Six Meridian Divine Sword

Seeing that Kumārajīva almost revealed his true thoughts, Yue Zhuoqun chuckled and said, "The first ultimate skill is Shaolin's Yi Jin Jing."

Kumārajīva's eyes flickered; he had naturally heard of the famous Yi Jin Jing.

Moreover, he had once sneaked into the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion to secretly learn the Seventy-Two Arts, but unfortunately he had never seen the Yi Jin Jing. He couldn't help but say, "The Yi Jin Jing is one of Shaolin's most profound and mysterious arts. I'm afraid its hiding place is very well hidden."

"The Shaolin Temple stores its secret manuals in only a few places: the Sutra Repository, the Abbot's Room, the Bodhi Courtyard, and the Bodhidharma Hall. You can always find them if you are patient."

Remember, the authentic Yi Jin Jing is the one written in Sanskrit; I don't want the one written in Chinese.

Yue Zhuoqun vaguely remembered that in the story, A'Zhu was stolen from Bodhi Temple.

In fact, he had already obtained the secret manual of the Yi Jin Jing in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He asked Kumārajīva to find it in order to find the Shen Zu Jing hidden in the Yi Jin Jing.

Legend has it that the Divine Foot Sutra in this book was written by an ancient Indian monk using an invisibility herb liquid, and can only be revealed after being soaked in water, but this secret is unknown to most people.

When later generations of Indian monks saw the book, they thought it was a blank paper book, so they copied the Yijinjing created by Bodhidharma on it in Sanskrit. Eventually, it ended up in Shaolin Temple in China.

“Sanskrit? I’ll remember it!” Kumārajīva nodded.

I have no doubt about what Yue Zhuoqun said about authenticity and inauthenticity, after all, Buddhism originated from India, and many martial arts were created by Bodhidharma.

"The second unique skill is the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

"I've heard of Qiao Feng's signature move!"

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms originally consisted of twenty-eight palms, and its cultivation threshold and power were not too high. It was only after Qiao Feng simplified it that it reached its peak.

Moreover, this palm technique is developed from the outside in; the stronger the internal energy and the greater the power, the greater the power it unleashes. It is a martial art with an extremely high potential.

Yue Zhuoqun possesses profound internal strength and is also proficient in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. When he unleashes his power, it will undoubtedly be earth-shattering, perhaps even comparable to a mortal-level martial art.

"The third ultimate skill is the Lesser Formless Skill of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Once this skill is mastered, it can imitate the moves of all martial arts in the world, and its power can even surpass the original."

Kumārajīva was immediately excited; this was practically a martial art tailor-made for him.

He mastered several Shaolin martial arts techniques, but because he didn't understand them deeply enough, he was never able to perform them perfectly.

If one could learn the Lesser Formless Skill, the problem would be easily solved.

"Where is the Lesser Formless Skill?" he asked impatiently.

"In... um, the Western Xia Imperial Palace. The current Empress Dowager of Western Xia, Li Qiushui, is one of the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect."

There are also collections in the Langhuan Jade Cave next door, which I can easily obtain. There's no need to tell Kumārajīva; let him simply exchange martial arts techniques with me.

After all, one's martial arts skills don't come easily.

The Grand Master only plays high-level games; he's stubborn, resilient, and doesn't extort money.

It would be quite interesting to let him mess with Li Qiushui.

"In addition, the eldest sister among the Three Elders of Xiaoyao, the Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao, possesses three unique skills: the Everlasting Longevity and Youthful Spring Skill, the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm."

"Is the last of the Three Elders of the Carefree Realm also included?" Kumārajīva asked shrewdly.

"Yes, his name is Wuyazi, and he cultivates the Beiming Divine Art, a martial art that can absorb the internal energy of others and use it for one's own purposes!"

"So domineering! This humble monk loves it!"

Kumārajīva was trembling with excitement, but he didn't notice that Duan Yu next to him had a strange expression and seemed uneasy.

Having memorized the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he was captured by Kumārajīva and subjected to relentless interrogation.

If Kumārajīva were to find out that he also knew the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he would be even less likely to let him go.

"Benefactor, where is this Wuyazi?"

"You don't need to worry about that for now; the time isn't right."

Yue Zhuoqun smiled and then asked, "Which one do you plan to retrieve first, Master?"

"This……"

Kumārajīva remained silent.

Shaolin Temple, Qiao Feng, Li Qiushui, and Tianshan Tonglao—none of them are easy to mess with!

"What, Master, are you scared?"

"How could that be? There's no one in this martial world I wouldn't dare offend. Uh, excluding you, we're friends now, haha~"

Kumārajīva first made a stubborn remark, trying to justify himself by saying, "However, this humble monk has obtained the Heartless Slash and wants to study it here for a few days first. It won't be too late to take action after I have mastered it."

After saying that, he got up, found a secluded place, and began to comprehend the Heartless Slash.

Azhu and the other two were dumbfounded: the arrogant monk had just given in like that?

Sure enough, the wicked will always be tormented by the wicked!

"Duan Yu!"
