The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

After answering Yueyao's question, Helian Yun Shen continued to look at the contents on the stone wall. He had thought that one needed to cultivate Buddhism to practice this martial art, but it turned out that Buddhism was merely a medium through which the ancients comprehended this martial art.

Practicing this martial art does not require practicing Buddhism.

'Fortunately, I don't need to practice Buddhism, so let me see just how powerful these Three Forms of Buddha Palm really are.'

He muttered the phrase to himself, then turned his gaze to the text that followed, the name of the first move written at the very beginning:

The great sun has come!

When this technique is mastered, it is like the blazing sun descending, the palm wind turning into fire. A single palm strike can cause someone to die in excruciating pain, as if scorched by the sun, turning them into a dried-up corpse.

After briefly explaining the power of the move, the following content will cover how to practice this move.

After watching the first move, he turned his attention to the second move.

The second move is called "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand"!

Once this technique is mastered, it can be unleashed in a single strike. It is as if the palm carries the power and weight of the Buddhist realm, capable of shattering rocks, splitting mountains, cutting off water, and cracking the earth.

"Wow! This second move looks even more powerful than the so-called first move. Wouldn't it just shatter the enemy upon impact?"

I had just finished marveling at this move when I noticed the accompanying warning. Suppressing my shock, I carefully read and understood the warning.

'This move is extremely powerful, but also extremely energy-consuming! Even a highly skilled practitioner can only unleash two or three strikes with it.'

'It seems that even with training, this move can only be used as a trump card, not as a regular technique.'

After reading this, Helian Yun Shen uttered these words. He then prepared to continue reading, only to find that the following content was completely illegible; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make out the overall meaning.

This left Helian Yun Shen feeling somewhat frustrated.

'Damn it, I can't even see the last move clearly. If I could see it clearly, the final move would definitely be even more powerful.'

With a sense of helplessness, he uttered these words and then could only continue to examine the martial art called "Three Styles of Buddha Palm" before him.

He was a little uneasy about whether he could still carry out so-called cultivation after being so incomplete, but fortunately, this unease only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour.

Although these three techniques are part of the same martial art, each possesses a strong degree of independence. This means that they can be practiced and mastered independently without worrying about the martial art being incomplete and ultimately unable to be successfully cultivated.

"Young Master Helian, how good is this martial art?"

Yueyao, standing to the side, watched Helian Yun Shen remain silent, her brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently.

He then asked Helian Yun Shen, who turned to look at Yue Yao beside him and replied.

"This is a very powerful martial art. I will transcribe it later. I will change it into the language we are currently using, and we will each have a copy."

"I don't need it."

Upon hearing that she was to receive a share, Yueyao instinctively waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need any. However, Helian Yunshen clearly did not heed Yueyao's wishes and directly took out his calligraphy brush, but after searching around, he couldn't find any paper suitable for copying.

This made things a bit awkward.

Upon seeing this, Yueyao tore off a portion of the lower half of the outermost robe-like garment and handed it to Helian Yunshen without hesitation.

"Young Master Helian, shall we use this?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring the necessary paper with me. I'll buy you one at the market when we leave, as an apology."

"No need, since I already have a part of martial arts in my body. It's nothing to do these things."

He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for such politeness.

He then added the following words to put Helian Yun Shen at ease, so that he wouldn't feel guilty.

Seeing this, Helian Yunshen was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he picked up the piece of silk and began copying.

…………

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the entire three-form Buddha Palm exercise was copied. The last form was too blurry to copy, so this is the only way to do it.

“Young Master Xi, the later parts are too blurry to be recognized and are no longer usable. So I only copied the beginning. However, these three martial arts moves are very independent, and you can still practice them even if you are missing one move.”

As he put down his brush, Helian Yunshen explained to Yueyao why he had copied the text in this way. Yueyao believed Helian Yunshen's words and didn't ask any further questions.

Upon learning that Helian Yunshen had finished copying, he immediately raised his hand and destroyed the text on the stone wall once again.

"The purpose of doing this is to prevent others from obtaining this opportunity as well, which may seem selfish. But in the martial arts world, such things have to be done to avoid problems later. At the same time, it allows others to find a way to break through these barriers."

He feared that Helian Yunshen might not understand his actions.

After doing all this, he explained it to Helian Yun Shen. Hearing this explanation, Helian Yun Shen didn't say anything, after all, it made a lot of sense.

No reply is needed.

In the time that followed, the two explored all the places they could, but found nothing.

They weren't developing anything that caught their eye.

Finally, the two used their lightness skills to return to the ground from the bottom. The moment they came out, Helian Yun Shen said to Yue Yao.

"Young Master Xi, when we arrive at the next town, I will purchase the necessary paper so that we can make an extra copy."

Then we could each have one.

"Ah."

This time, Yueyao simply nodded.

The two men had just come out to find their horses when they discovered that their horses were no longer where they had been tied up.

"Someone stole our horses!"

Examining the marks on the ground, Yueyao came to a conclusion.

Upon hearing this conclusion, Helian Yunshen's face darkened and turned ugly; this was the first time he had ever lost something.

He clenched his fists tightly and followed Yueyao's gaze toward the marks.

"It seems that quite a few people stole our horses, otherwise the footprints on the ground wouldn't be so messy."

"I think it's very likely that they were bandits from the nearby mountains. They saw the horses we left here and got greedy, so they just took them."

Looking around, Yueyao's first thought was that they were bandits and outlaws. After all, this area didn't look like a place hunters frequented, and hunters wouldn't usually go into the mountains in large groups.

Most of them go into the mountains in groups of three to five.

Judging from the footprints on the ground, there were at least twenty or thirty people.
