The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

After making a joke, the Old Woman explained to Ling Feng:

"Back then, my master, who is also your grandmaster, created three internal energy cultivation methods. One is the 'Northern Darkness Divine Skill' that your master cultivated, the second is the 'Eternal Youth and Longevity Skill' that I cultivated, and the third is the 'Small Formless Skill' that that little bitch cultivated."

"These three internal cultivation methods each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I presume your master has already passed on the Northern Darkness Divine Art to you. Since you've already practiced the Northern Darkness Divine Art, my Eternal Youth and Longevity Art is no longer suitable for you. Remember the saying, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew'..."

The old woman spoke earnestly to Ling Feng, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

After all, it's a real pity that her unparalleled martial arts technique cannot be passed down.

However, she knew that trying to do too much at once would be counterproductive. If Ling Feng were to cultivate two peerless internal skills at the same time, it might backfire.

Ling Feng nodded silently, indicating his understanding.

Afterwards, Tong Lao explained to Ling Feng in detail the various martial arts she had mastered.

These martial arts include the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, each with its own unique power and techniques.

Not only did the old woman teach Ling Feng the moves of these martial arts, but she also explained their advantages and disadvantages in detail.

Regarding the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tong Lao emphasized its fierce and powerful nature, but stressed that it requires profound internal strength to support it.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand emphasizes versatility and can handle various situations.

The old woman also specifically reminded Ling Feng that martial arts training is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires persistent effort and constant practice.

Ling Feng had already made up his mind. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he finally made his choice—three peerless martial arts: Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and Life and Death Talisman.

The Tianshan Six Yang Palm technique is elegant and agile, containing endless variations;

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is known for its complexity and versatility, encompassing six styles of martial arts, each including a variety of different moves and techniques, making it difficult to defend against.

The Life and Death Talisman is even more mysterious and unpredictable; it can make people wish they were dead, turning them into a nightmare for their enemies.

In fact, Ling Feng had already mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, but he still decided to learn the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan.

Because he wanted the student to learn the Death Talisman, he had to learn the Tianshan Six Yang Palm technique to remove it.

Looking at the three martial arts techniques that Ling Feng had chosen, the old woman didn't say much, but simply nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, her gaze fell on Ling Feng again, and she said earnestly:

"These three martial arts are profound and cannot be mastered in a day. They require long-term study and practice. From now on, you will stay in Lingjiu Palace, and I will use my spare time each day to recover my strength to teach you."

Ling Feng was moved to tears and quickly thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Master!"

The old woman waved her hand, signaling Ling Feng to take the three women away first.

Ling Feng bowed respectfully, then led Wang Yuyan and the other two women out.

After the group came out, they ran into Bamboo Sword and Chrysanthemum Sword, who had returned with a message. Ling Feng asked them to make arrangements for the three women.

Since we'll be staying here for a long time, we should settle down first.

After the three women left with them, Ling Feng began to complete his own task.

He encountered a mishap as soon as he arrived, and he hadn't even completed the sign-in task yet.

Of course, this is also why he has the overwhelming strength now, which is why he is not in a hurry.

"Ding"

"Check-in successful"

"Received sign-in reward: Enlightenment of opening the gate to heaven with a sword, ten years of cultivation time for any martial arts technique."

"Ding"

"Next check-in location: Shaolin Temple within one year."

After seeing the reward, Ling Feng exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

This sword that opens the gates of heaven is quite something; it's the ultimate move of Li Chungang, the sword god from the novel "Snow Sword." Ling Feng never expected the system to give him this reward.

Moreover, the next check-in location is Shaolin Temple again. It seems that something must have happened at Shaolin Temple, otherwise the system would not have asked me to check in there.

Ling Feng then stopped thinking about it, knowing he would find out in time.

He directly integrated his insights from "One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate".

As the insights merged, the sword technique that opened the gates of heaven seemed to be imprinted in Ling Feng's mind.

He seemed to see the Sword God Li Chungang standing on the mountaintop, holding a long sword, his sword momentum like a rainbow, and with one slash, the sky was directly split in two.

This aura and sword intent deeply influenced Ling Feng, allowing him to reach a higher level of understanding of the way of the sword.

At the same time, he received a subtle hint in his mind that this move was too powerful and should not be used lightly.

If it were used, it would surely anger the heavens, and heaven would punish it.

He then dedicated ten years of his cultivation time to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, which is now only a little short of reaching the Grandmaster level.

After he finished fusing, his skin immediately changed, turning from white to bronze.

After breaking through to the Grandmaster level in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, his strength increased exponentially.

He is now confident that he can remain undefeated even against a martial artist in the early stages of a Grandmaster.

With his strength further enhanced and a trump card to save his life, Ling Feng now stands much more confidently.

……

Thanks to Ling Feng's warning, the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands outside didn't cause any more trouble.

After eliminating those threats, only Li Qiushui remains as a threat.

But this is also the biggest threat, after all, her martial arts skills are too high, so Ling Feng has always been careful.

It seems her target is definitely the Child Granny, and she wouldn't stoop to harming anyone else, which reduces Ling Feng's pressure considerably.

In the days that followed, Lingjiu Palace returned to its usual state.

In addition to recovering her strength each day, Tong Lao always sets aside some time to focus on teaching Ling Feng martial arts.

She imparted to him without reservation the three martial arts manuals and energy circulation routes that Ling Feng had carefully selected, and instructed him to practice them on his own first.

In her spare time, Tong Lao would carefully correct the mistakes Ling Feng made when practicing the three martial arts.

Ling Feng himself possesses outstanding talent, and he has already achieved some success with the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, so removing the Life and Death Talisman is no longer a problem for him.

As for the Life and Death Talisman, that goes without saying.

After all, the Life and Death Talisman is merely a technique and a method of channeling energy; it is not difficult for him.

However, the most troublesome martial art is the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand.

It does not emphasize grand, sweeping movements, but rather focuses on the skillful application of force, which Ling Feng found difficult to grasp in a short time.

Fortunately, with the careful guidance of the old woman, Ling Feng quickly mastered the martial art.

While practicing martial arts, Ling Feng was also responsible for protecting Tong Lao's safety to prevent any accidents from happening.

After all, Li Qiushui, this great threat, could suddenly attack at any time.

Therefore, Ling Feng remained vigilant at all times and dared not let his guard down.

Fortunately, nothing dangerous has happened so far, which has put Ling Feng at ease.

However, he knew that this peace was only temporary, and Li Qiushui could strike again at any time.

After all, she had a long-standing feud with the Old Woman Tong, and she certainly wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity.
