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

The scroll emitted a light, and in the next instant, the first '+' sign transformed into a small book labeled 'Zixia Divine Skill'.

"The second one to add is the Nine Yin Manual."

A flash of light, and the second '+' sign transformed into a book labeled 'Nine Yin Manual, Volume 1'.

"The third one to add is Mingyu Gong."

"The fourth one to add is Hunyuan Gong."

"The fifth addition is the Rama internal energy technique."

[Ding! Rama Internal Energy is a Buddhist internal energy cultivation method, not belonging to the same category, and cannot be added!]

"Uh, Buddhism and Taoism are incompatible? I thought that as long as it's internal energy cultivation, they could be integrated!" Yue Zhuoqun was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't too disappointed.

"Then let's switch to the Song of the Great Dao of Complete Truth!"

[Ding! Successfully added. Merge?]

"Fusion!"

laugh!

The scroll burst forth with dazzling light, and the five books spun and chased each other for a full quarter of an hour before dissipating, only to be replaced by a larger book.

The book even has a title—Wanshou Daozang Gong!

[The Longevity Daoist Manual is an authentic Daoist internal energy cultivation method. Its internal energy is balanced and harmonious. When accumulating power, it surges like a thousand layers of waves. When attacking, it can transform into a vortex of killing power. It also has the characteristics of improving aptitude, rapidly restoring power, quickly healing injuries, and granting longevity.]

As expected, it has refined and integrated the characteristics of all five internal skills into one, and its power has become even stronger.

"Learn to use the Perfect Scroll!"

hum!

The internal energy of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill in his dantian immediately began to circulate, flowing through his body along a new path, and the characteristics of the internal energy changed.

This change lasted for a good fifteen minutes before it stopped.

Yue Zhuoqun felt as if he had been reborn, as if he had been transformed.

The amount of internal energy did not increase much, but its essence was greatly optimized.

A single palm strike of the same skill level could easily suppress him from a quarter of an hour ago.

If I were to fight Dongfang Bubai again in this state, I could easily overpower him even without using the Lingxi Finger.

This powerful self-confidence emanates from within.

"Open the properties panel!"

Chapter 55 Zhang Haiduan's Letters

Yue Zhuoqun secluded himself for several days, carefully studying the authentic Taoist mental cultivation method, Wanshou Daozang Gong.

He discovered that the profundity of this technique far exceeded his imagination, as evidenced by the fact that he had reached the "acquired realm" level of proficiency.

This is the first manual with such annotations.

The fact that there is the Acquired Realm above the Innate Realm, or even higher realms, indicates that this cultivation technique has an extremely high upper limit.

He couldn't help but think of Ming Yugong's performance in The Legendary Twins.

The Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue, and Lianxing had cultivated the Mingyu Gong to the eighth level for many years, but they were still unable to break through to the ninth level.

It wasn't until he was trapped in the underground palace of Wei Wuyuan of the Twelve Constellations that he finally broke through the life-or-death situation.

Yan Nantian, who also practiced the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, was tortured by villains in the Valley of Villains, resulting in broken meridians, crippled martial arts, and turning him into a living dead. He was in a coma for more than ten years before he woke up and mastered the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

Both of them had experienced life and death before their martial arts skills reached their peak.

This process is very likely the so-called destruction and then construction, the transition from the acquired to the innate!

Ning Zhongze also cultivated the Mingyu Gong. At the seventh level, her internal energy was enough to make her a formidable opponent among first-rate masters. If she could break through another level, she would reach the level of a super-first-rate master.

All these characteristics are sufficient to demonstrate that Mingyu Gong is a martial art that can lead to the Innate Realm.

However, once one enters the Innate Realm, the Mingyu Gong (a martial arts technique) no longer provides a clear path on what to do next.

However, the Longevity Daoist Treasure Technique is different. Since it dares to label itself with the words "Acquired Realm," it means that the cultivation path of the Innate Realm is also open.

(Many readers will disagree here, feeling that this belittles Mingyu Gong. Let me clarify beforehand that my level system differs from typical martial arts systems. Mortal martial arts only have acquired and innate levels, and beyond that are immortal martial arts involving the Dao. Reaching the innate level is already considered very powerful.)

When Yue Zhuoqun finished his seclusion and stepped out of the room, everyone who saw his face was stunned.

"Senior brother, how come you look even younger again?" Ning Zhongze's eyes were full of admiration.

After practicing the Luo Mo internal energy, Yue Zhuoqun's appearance returned to that of someone in their late thirties, and now he looks like he's in his early twenties.

"My internal strength has improved considerably these past few days, which is why my appearance has changed again." Yue Zhuoqun smiled lightly, not dwelling on the topic: "Did anything happen during my seclusion these past few days?"

"Master, the magician from Black Stone has arrived," Yang Lin replied.

"Oh, where is he?"

"The disciple arranged a guest room for him, and he has been staying on the mountain for the past two days."

"Have him come to my study to see me."

"Yes!"

……

A moment later, Yang Lin brought the opera performer Lian Sheng to the outside of Yue Zhuoqun's study.

He had been at Mount Hua for two days, and what he had seen and heard on the mountain during these two days had deeply impressed him.

Before he came, he could never have believed that there were two thousand disciples of third-rate strength from Mount Hua.

What a concept!

Many major sects, even if you add up all their members, whether they are top-tier or not, may not have a thousand people.

Those with such resources are probably only the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the imperial court.

He felt an ever-growing sense of awe for Yue Zhuoqun, and on his way to the study, he dared not look around carelessly.

"Master is in the study, please go in!"

"Thank you for leading the way, Young Hero Yang."

Lian Sheng first bowed respectfully to Yang Lin, then straightened his clothes and carefully entered the study.

"Bang! Your subordinate, bound by rope, pays respects to Master."

Once they were about three meters away from the desk, they dared not go any closer and instead knelt down to worship.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Master."

"How is Blackstone doing?"

"The loyalists to King Chakravartin and those with ulterior motives have all been eliminated, and assassination jobs are no longer accepted; only the business in the open remains."

The remaining members of the organization were basically all assigned the task of protecting Lord Zhang and the richest man, Zhang.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"These tasks were mainly handled by Xiyu, and I dare not complain about the hardship."

Lian Sheng responded in a flustered manner, then took out a letter from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Yue Zhuoqun.

"Lord Zhang was recently reinstated by the Emperor and appointed Minister of Justice. I am here today mainly to deliver this letter on behalf of Lord Zhang."

Yue Zhuoqun opened the letter and read it carefully. It mainly talked about two things.

First, there have been recent changes in the court, including the weakening of Cao Zhengchun's power and the marriage of Princess Toshihide of Izumo Province.

This Rihide is a fake; he's a man who knows Japanese martial arts in disguise.

The real Princess Lixiu of Chuyun Kingdom had already been killed.

The fake Li Xiu used the pretext of a marriage alliance to get close to the emperor and assassinate him.

The second thing is also related to this fake Ri-soo.

Since Zhang Haiduan became the Minister of Justice, he was naturally responsible for investigating the origins of the fake Li Xiu and the real culprit behind it.

He quickly discovered that the person impersonating Li Xiu was the adopted son of Li Tianhao, an elder of the Giant Whale Gang, and that the Giant Whale Gang had hired a large number of Japanese martial artists to help train their troops, and was suspected of having collusion with the Japanese government.

In addition, the piracy along the coast has become increasingly serious in recent years, and coastal residents have suffered a lot of looting.

Zhang Haiduan suspected there was a close connection between them, so he wrote this letter hoping Yue Zhuoqun would help investigate.
