Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

"Go and pick some, and then, like Nie Renwang, go to the place where the Fire Qilin dwells to find me."

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai exchanged a glance, knowing that such people would not bother to deceive them. They immediately put down their sons, clasped their hands in greeting, and then quickly proceeded along different passages.

After Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai left, Su Yuchen signaled Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Duan Lang to follow. The three of them, carrying Xiong Ba, headed towards the depths of Lingyun Cave.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the cave in front of them grew darker and darker. A faint blood-red glow occasionally lit up in the passage. Curious, Duan Lang couldn't help but reach out and touch it, only to discover that it was actually a stone wall.

I just don't know why the stone walls here are fiery red.

Nie Feng smiled at him and followed closely behind Bu Jingyun.

After walking for a long time, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun didn't care, but Duan Lang grew impatient and looked at the interconnected passageways with great annoyance.

Just as Duan Lang was getting impatient, a warm and gentle aura rushed towards him from the front.

After turning the corner, the three boys discovered a hole in front of them, with a red glow inside that seemed to be breathing.

Upon approaching and entering the cave, the group's eyes lit up. Inside, strange rocks jutted out, with natural stalagmites like pillars supporting the cave from collapse.

On the ground, hot, black underground magma flows like rivers, its scalding liquid swirling within; and from the cracks in the surrounding stone walls, trickles of water emerge from who-knows-where, converging together.

Magma and flowing water converged into a river, flowing towards a deep pool in the center of the cave. The clash of hot and cold created wisps of warm, moist vapor, which were then carried towards the cave entrance by the opposing air currents.

Ignoring the astonished looks of the others, Su Yuchen took a step to the center of the cave. There, in the center of the deep pool where countless lava and water converged, an 'S' formed by the cooling lava divided the pool into yin and yang parts.

One part is full of scorching lava, and the other part is full of cold ice springs.

It is a treasure land of yin and yang, created by the natural forces of heaven and earth.

Chapter 551 The changing situation

In this wondrous place created by heaven and earth, at the singularity of the 'S', a circular stone platform formed from solidified magma sits, which is the dwelling place of the Fire Qilin.

Looking at this land of Yin and Yang, one finds strange rocks and exotic flowers and plants everywhere.

Su Yuchen opened his Dharma Eyes. Amidst the flow of Yin and Yang, he saw the evil energy rising. Endless evil energy from heaven and earth settled in the earth, forming earth vein fire poison and water vein cold poison in the dragon vein. The two poisons of ice and fire constantly clashed and transformed back into evil energy.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, day and night.

“No wonder the Land of Creation has turned into a poisonous land. With the evil aura not dissipating, this realm can only sink into ruin in the end.” Su Yuchen couldn’t help but shake his head.

………………

Su Yuchen placed the Fire Qilin in a corner of the cave before turning around to look at the three small and one large behind him. As soon as he had a thought, Xiong Ba floated in front of him.

"I would like to trouble Chief Xiong to circulate his inner energy cultivation technique so that I can experience the Three Absolute Divine Skills," Su Yuchen said calmly.

Xiong Ba, who had been trying to break free of his restraints, felt a tremor in his heart when he met Su Yuchen's cold gaze, as if all his thoughts had been laid bare.

Although he could neither speak nor move, Xiong Ba inexplicably felt that this might be the best choice for him; as for any other bad choices, Xiong Ba dared not think about them, nor did he want to think about them.

"The way this strange man restrained me was really strange. He didn't seal my dantian, meridians, or acupoints, but he made me unable to move my limbs or bones."

"Oh, so he was after my martial arts skills?"

Xiong Ba seemed to instantly understand Su Yuchen's purpose in capturing him.

[Destiny warns, Xiong Ba chooses to follow his heart, demonstrating a simplified version of the Three Ultimate Divine Skills]

The narration system sounded in his ear, and Su Yuchen raised an eyebrow, sighing that this was truly the mindset of a ruthless hero. Even when he was already at the mercy of others, he still thought of taking action.

Just as Su Yuchen was sighing, Xiong Ba felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something. Before he could think further, a glint flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes, and an invisible divine sense invaded Xiong Ba's mind.

Xiong Ba's eyes rolled back, his whole body convulsed, and he felt an unbearable swelling in his head, as if something was forcibly drilling into his head, flipping through his past memories. Scenes of his past martial arts training involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

At the same time, the body's instinctive reaction caused the internal energy to move spontaneously, with the three streams of energy circulating along different meridians.

You have acquired the Three Ultimate Divine Skills

You have obtained the Divine Technique for the Wedding Dress

You have obtained the Three-Part Returning Qi from the initial creation of the Overlord.

[You've grasped the essence of the Three-Point Divine Finger technique initially developed by Xiong Ba]

[The tyrant's destiny has not yet ended, and he has the opportunity to obtain his father, the Purple-Clad Boss's, unique martial art, 'Returning Blood Hand'.]

Just as Su Yuchen was going through Xiong Ba's memories, the three streams of true energy in Xiong Ba's body spun faster and faster, showing a tendency to merge into one and evolve into the Three-Part Divine Finger.

"He really is blessed with good fortune; even in this situation, he can have such an extraordinary encounter."

Su Yuchen chuckled and pointed a finger at Xiong Ba's brow. The next second, Xiong Ba's mind felt like it was being ripped apart by knives, his memories instantly became chaotic, and the three streams of true energy that were originally running in an orderly manner suddenly became disordered and flowed back to his dantian.

With a loud "whoosh," Xiong Ba spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fell into a deep coma.

Su Yuchen looked with great interest at Xiong Ba's dantian, where a point of true qi was formed by the fusion of the three true qi of the Heavenly Frost Fist, the Cloud Dispelling Palm, and the Wind God Leg.

"To have mastered such a skill is truly a destiny bestowed upon you."

However, Su Yuchen didn't care. Although Xiong Ba was strong, he was at most a Grandmaster. Dugu Ming was stronger than him now.

With a casual toss of Xiong Ba aside, Su Yuchen's internal energy instantly transformed into three colors. As soon as the energy left his dantian, each color circulated rapidly along different meridians, continuously optimizing itself.

The true energy of the Heavenly Frost Fist became frosty and pitch black, chilling to the bone and freezing everything; the blue-tinged wind became even more free and unrestrained, and even more so, without any trace; the white-tinged clouds became ethereal and unpredictable, seemingly omnipresent yet nowhere to be found.

You have perfected the Three-Part Divine Skill and obtained an enhanced version.

Ignoring the narration, the three streams of true energy, each with different attributes, moved spontaneously. The wind blew and the clouds surged, the clouds moved and the frost formed, the frost fell and the wind arose. The three streams of true energy constantly interacted and restrained each other, forming three inexplicable streams of true energy intertwined within Su Yuchen's body.

The next second, Su Yuchen threw a punch with his right hand. The dark and cold frost was extremely domineering, freezing the air within three feet of the punch into ice. Then, he waved his hand, his fingers and palms changing rapidly, and clouds of energy soared. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of azure energy shot silently into the cave wall thirty feet away, creating a deep pit the size of a finger hole, the bottomless depth.

Shaking his head, he realized that the power was nothing special to Su Yuchen. He immediately waved his sleeve, and a surging stream of water from the cold pool came to Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Duan Lang. Then, the water instantly split into countless tiny figures, demonstrating three completely different martial arts techniques.

The original Heavenly Frost Fist, Cloud Dispelling Palm, and Wind God Leg have been infused with countless martial arts techniques by Su Yuchen, expanding the moves by three or four times and making them incomparably more powerful.

Even if Xiong Ba mastered the Three-Point Divine Finger, it would be wishful thinking to think he could use it to restrain Feng Yun. He would be lucky if Feng Yun could counter him instead.

“The three of you, each go and find something that interests you to learn,” Su Yuchen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Lang, who couldn't wait any longer, stepped forward, staring at the densely packed little figures, looking left and right, and for a moment he didn't know where to start learning.

Only Nie Feng remained focused, circulating the Ice Heart Technique, 'listening' to the little figures that interested him in his mind, his gaze following each one.

Bu Jingyun had already learned the Cloud Dispelling Palm. At this moment, he crossed his arms and stared at the little figures practicing the palm technique as he walked through them.

A moment later, Nie Feng had transformed into a blue wind. With his legs flying, he seemed to disappear into the cave. Occasionally, he could still see a trace on the stone wall.

Bu Jingyun's palms flew, his steps were like walking on clouds, as if he were hidden in the light mist, appearing and disappearing, and not being seen clearly.

Duan Lang could only learn a little from the East and practice a move from the West; he wanted to learn everything but didn't know where to start.

Bu Jingyun glanced at him coldly and then stopped paying attention. At this moment, he had already put down his palm technique and started practicing the leg technique. As the clouds disappeared and the wind rose, although it was not as invisible as Nie Feng, it still had the meaning of a storm.

Meanwhile, Nie Feng appeared in a flash and was already in front of Duan Lang, startling Duan Lang.

"You should choose one and master it first before looking at the others. Trying to do all three will inevitably lead to neglecting one or the other," Nie Feng said.

Duan Lang was slightly taken aback, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashing in his eyes. He immediately turned his head away and looked at it again.

Nie Feng was slightly taken aback, wondering why Duan Lang was angry. However, he couldn't care less about anything else. Knowing that this was a rare opportunity, he immediately disappeared again and reappeared looking at the palm technique on the ground.

As Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun cultivated their respective styles, their approaches became completely different:

Bu Jingyun treads on a whirlwind, his movements as dense as a torrential rain, his palm techniques ethereal and unpredictable, the wind rising and the clouds surging; Nie Feng is invisible, his steps light, his palm techniques fleeting, the clouds moving with the wind.

As the two continued their practice, they began to break free from the constraints of the Three-Part Divine Skill's "wind blowing and clouds surging, clouds moving and frost forming, frost falling and wind rising," taking only the meaning of the changing winds and clouds, and a completely new route for the circulation of true energy spontaneously began to move.

As the practice continued, the three of them each occupied a corner of the cave. Nie Feng was nowhere to be found; Bu Jingyun was surrounded by swirling winds and clouds, exuding an imposing aura; and Duan Lang was surrounded by fists, palms, and kicks, yet he could not escape the confines of Su Yuchen's martial arts.

When Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai entered, their eyes gleaming, they were met with this astonishing scene.

Chapter 552 Eclipse Sword Technique and the Six Secrets of Frost

As Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun continued their cultivation, the air in the cave circulated, and the water vapor evaporated into clouds, which were reflected in a dazzling array of colors by the lava and cold springs.

A gust of wind and cloud converged towards Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, forming a whirlwind that swept the two of them into it.

Meanwhile, the tornado continuously refines the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), triggering an even greater convergence of wind and clouds, creating a mutually reinforcing cycle.

Su Yuchen looked up and saw that each time the tornado spun around, it would strip away the evil energy from the heaven and earth's primordial energy, like a washing machine cleaning away the stains, leaving only pure primordial energy, which the two of them continuously refined. The true energy in the two youths' bodies was like wind and clouds, constantly accumulating, and they could catch up with others' efforts in a month in a single breath.

"The combination of a genius with extraordinary talent and a genius with extraordinary destiny is just that unreasonable," Su Yuchen sighed to himself.

Just ten breaths later, Su Yuchen had to intervene and interrupt the two from continuing their cultivation; if they continued any longer, the meridians in their bodies would probably be burst by the continuous flow of vital energy.

Su Yuchen flicked his finger, and a burst of energy surged into the tornado. Silently, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the two people floating in mid-air each kicked off with their legs. One landed silently, while the other was like a whirlwind passing by, and they each landed on the side of the cold pool.

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yuchen caused the water on the ground to instantly pool together, turning into a clump of water that flowed into the cold pool. Duan Lang looked over with a face full of resentment, and when his eyes met Su Yuchen's, he immediately felt a tremor in his heart and lowered his head in a panic.

"The opportunity is given by me, but what you get in return is entirely up to you."

"The two of them were not as good as you in their youth, and they had no one to teach them, yet they were able to understand their own nature. Since you want to revitalize the Duan family, what insights do you have besides being arrogant?"

"The Duan family has been a prominent family for generations, possessing countless books. Do you have the opportunity to learn just one of them?"

Although Su Yuchen's tone was calm, the other four knew that he was speaking to Duan Lang.

Seeing Duan Lang's arrogant expression, clearly not listening to him, Su Yuchen was too lazy to lecture him anymore. His father was still alive, so why should he worry about him?

………………

Seeing Su Yuchen turn his head away and no longer look at Duan Lang, Duan Shuai's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel angry at his lack of ambition. But then he thought again, wasn't this also his own fault?

"That's it! That's it!"

As soon as the thought crossed Duan Shuai's mind, he felt a sense of dejection. Looking at the Fire Kirin Sword in his hand, he felt a sudden aversion and wished he could throw it away on the spot.

The Fire Kirin Sword seemed to sense something, its blade, sealed in its scabbard, flashed red light, as if trying to stir Duan Shuai's emotions. However, Duan Shuai was filled with regret at the moment and had no interest in the Fire Kirin Sword at all.

………………

Looking at his son, Nie Renwang felt utterly unworthy of being a father, his emotions a complex and incomprehensible mix.

"In just a short while, Feng'er's lightness skill has already surpassed my level. If he were to combine it with the Nie family's Snow Drinking Saber, his martial arts skills would be beyond my imagination."

"Could it be that I really delayed Feng'er? Could it be that Yan Ying was right? But if we don't retreat to the mountains, sooner or later Feng'er will still die in the martial world."

"Who knows how many old monsters like this man exist in the martial arts world? He only taught Feng'er for such a short time, yet Feng'er's martial arts are now on par with mine. How many more hidden masters are there?"

At this moment, Nie Renwang's heart was like a raging storm, and he felt that his past thoughts and actions were neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad.

………………

"Calm your mind and don't let your bloodline influence you. Your Ice Heart Technique is still too weak." Su Yuchen's voice entered Nie Renwang's ears as soon as he spoke.

Nie Renwang was immediately stunned, and cold sweat poured down his face as he recalled Nie Ying's last words that he had seen in the cave.

Seeing his father's unusual behavior, Nie Feng moved swiftly, and with a gentle breeze, he was already beside Nie Renwang, looking up at him.

When Nie Renwang was looked at by his eyes, those clear eyes were cool and aloof, yet contained the affection and concern of a young man. He felt reassured and stopped thinking about anything else.

………………

Duan Shuai came to his senses and looked at Su Yuchen sitting cross-legged, the strange beast beside him breathing heavily but still not awake; while Xiong Ba was lying on the ground like a lump of mud, his life or death unknown.

Without much hesitation, he flicked his sleeve, and a bunch of fruits shimmering with dark red color flew out, stacking up in front of Su Yuchen. They were Blood Bodhi.

Su Yuchen took one and ate it. A warm aura entered his body, generating true qi. Before he could do anything, a flash of yin-yang divine light appeared on his primordial spirit, and a speck of scarlet from the fruit was swept out of his body.

You have been invaded by a faint Qilin bloodline.

The Qilin bloodline has been eradicated.

[The Blood Bodhi contains trace amounts of Qilin blood. Long-term consumption and refining it into an elixir will eventually grant one the body of a Qilin.]

Seeing the narration prompt, Su Yuchen nodded. This improvement was negligible to him, but it was equivalent to several months of effort for Nie Renwang and the others.

Moreover, the trace amounts of Qilin bloodline within it can alter one's constitution and enhance recovery ability, making it a rare and precious treasure.

"These blood bodhisattvas are useless to me now. You can take them and divide them up. They will be beneficial for both improving your true qi and changing your physique."

With that, he waved his hand, and the Blood Bodhi on the ground split into three parts, which landed in front of Bu Jingyun, Nie Renwang, and Duan Shuai.

………………

Looking at the group, Su Yuchen placed his right hand on the head of the awakened fire qilin, letting its body writhe and be scorched by raging flames. Su Yuchen's right hand remained unmoved as he said:

"I will be helping the Fire Qilin regain its true nature for a long time to come, so I won't be able to take care of you. There is also an opportunity, which you can go and get yourself later."

"Commander Duan, you roamed the martial world with the help of the Fire Kirin Sword, yet you were also affected by its evil nature. Every sip and every bite is preordained."

“I can help you cleanse the Fire Kirin Sword of its evil influence, but you are already deeply affected by it. If you don’t cultivate properly, you will inevitably fall into demonic possession again in the future. At that time, the Fire Kirin Sword will also be affected by you and fall into demonic possession again.”

"Moreover, if I were to remove the demonic nature from the Fire Kirin Sword, it would inevitably greatly diminish its spiritual power. Therefore, the best solution is for you to take action, remove the evil influence, and control the sword's heart."
