The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 17: The Unbeatable Sutra

Time flies by like a white horse, time is like an arrow, the days and months pass by like a shuttle, disappearing like quicksand between fingers, the years are silent, leaving traces.

Over the past three years, Xi Mingzhang has led thousands of elite members of the Sun and Moon Sect on a dozen large ships to tour the countries surrounding the Central Plains.

Today, the four characters "Dongfang Bubai" are not only the biggest shadow in the hearts of the Central Plains martial arts world, but also the nightmare of these small countries, and can stop children from crying.

Blackwood Cliff, Chengde Hall.

"Is it really impossible to break through the spirit-refining realm in this world?" Xi Mingzhang muttered to himself in a quiet room:
"I originally thought that since the essence of heaven and earth was insufficient, I might as well use pure murderous energy and the evil energy of a hundred battles to further refine the spirit in my body, but in the end, I still failed."

"Could it be because of the technique?"

He frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and asked himself:
"Could it be that because the Sunflower Manual is an incomplete copy after all, and because it was not tailor-made, it contains errors and omissions that I am not aware of, making it impossible to break through?"

"Forget it. After all, the Sunflower Manual is a Taoist martial art that can prolong life. I can live at least another 50 to 60 years. I'll just take my time."

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xi Mingzhang used "Sunflower Manual" as the foundation, "Star Absorbing Technique" and "Yi Jin Jing" as the branches, absorbed the essence of hundreds of martial arts, and finally tailored a set of skills for himself.

It is worth mentioning that as the sacred artifact of the Sun and Moon Sect, Ren Woxing would naturally not carry the "Star-Absorbing Art" with him.

So Xi Mingzhang searched carefully in the place where he was in seclusion, Chengde Hall and where Ren Yingying lived. It didn't take long before he found the "Star Absorbing Art" in the room where Ren Yingying lived on the Black Wood Cliff.

As for the martial arts created by Xi Mingzhang, in view of his life experiences and name, he simply and clearly named it "The Invincible Sutra", in the hope that he would be invincible in all battles in the future on the path of cultivation.

This skill still has the extreme speed of sunflower, and any move is a killing move. It also uses the power of sucking stars to control the essence of heaven and earth, and then uses the essence of Yi Jin to train the essence of muscles and bones, and the key to the seven injuries to train the internal organs and skin.

Among the hundreds of martial arts that he melted, most of the martial arts that could be considered miraculous skills were incomplete. For example, the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" was a martial art with simple moves but profound power. Its essence lies in the use of strength.

At the beginning, he only got the most basic move, Kang Long You Hui, and later he got the other five moves from the Beggars' Sect.

Although it is not complete, Xi Mingzhang's comprehension improves dramatically every year because of the Daojie Bell. He gradually develops the terrifying talent of knowing ten things after knowing one, understanding everything after seeing one, and mastering it after practicing it once.

After practicing for a few days, he had perfected the Dragon Subduing Palm without realizing it, and he then summarized the power of this palm technique into the "Sunflower Manual".

In addition, he obtained the "Emei Nine Yang Kung Fu", "Shaolin Nine Yang Kung Fu" and "Wudang Nine Yang Kung Fu". The "Sunflower Manual" he practiced himself was a domineering yang martial art. He used the essence of the three sets of Nine Yang Kung Fu to explore the complete version of Nine Yang.

After achieving success, he was proud that the "Nine Yang Divine Art" he had comprehended was as good as the original, and even more domineering than the original.

Then, his essence was gradually integrated into the "Sunflower Manual", and finally, the essence of many other martial arts was taken and compiled into today's "Invincible Sutra".

By the time Xi Mingzhang had completely mastered this skill, he had also mastered the true qi of hundreds of schools, and had gained spiritual blessing, and realized the natural wonders contained in each martial art.

Unconsciously, his spirit merged into the void, and his true Qi had been refined to the level where it could be transformed into all kinds of true Qi in the world, reaching the state of refining the void.

In this state, since one has completely realized the extent of understanding nature, one naturally achieves the unity of man and nature, thus allowing the true energy in the body to circulate endlessly.

He also learned from the Taoist theory of the mutual restraint of the Five Elements, and was able to produce completely different kinds of true Qi. The energy produced by the true Qi could have forces similar to wind, thunder, water, and fire, almost like the power of magic, which made him different from ordinary martial artists.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the limitations of this world, it is impossible to prolong life.

Later, I realized that at the moment of breaking through the barrier, I don't know whether it was because of the Dao Jie Bell or because I absorbed too much of the essence of heaven and earth, the world suddenly declined. Therefore, my martial arts realm also lost the possibility of further improvement in this world, and now it has completely reached the limit of the world.

Moreover, Xi Mingzhang also estimated that practicing martial arts and cultivating internal energy in the future would be countless times more difficult than before. Most importantly, as time went by, one day, martial arts and true energy would disappear from the world.

When he learned about this, a smile appeared on his face.

So, in the next few decades, he sat on the Black Wood Cliff, listening to the flowers blooming and falling, watching the clouds rolling and unrolling, and coldly observing the arrival of the martial arts desert era.

Time flies, the years pass by like an shuttle, without stopping for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed.

Chengde Hall, a bedroom.

A woman who looked to be in her fifties was lying on the bed, looking at Xi Mingzhang, who was still in his prime, with a look of a candle in the wind.

She whispered:

"I am extremely satisfied to have served the master for these years. Although in this world, few people can cultivate internal strength, I have not passed down the way of internal strength in the Five Immortals Sect just in case."

"I can see that banning martial arts is of great importance to the leader. Although I don't understand the reason, the leader's wish can also be my wish."

Xi Mingzhang shook his head and laughed:
"What a silly girl! No wonder you poisoned many people who hated you in the sect more than 30 years ago. You were afraid that they would teach others martial arts in private, or secretly leave the martial arts secrets to future generations."

"Nothing can be hidden from the leader." The woman was Lan Fenghuang, and her voice was still as gentle and graceful as before:
"For so many years, I have been teaching and educating people with the leader. In your words, it is to enlighten the people. It is really a pleasure."

"I have carefully counted, and we have taught a total of 4,752 people."

Her breath gradually weakened, her voice became lower and lower, she looked at Xi Mingzhang and said:
"Master, do you think they can really open up a new world?"

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. They will." Xi Mingzhang held Lan Fenghuang's hand.

"Master, this should be the first time you hold my hand." A bright smile appeared on Lan Fenghuang's face:
"In fact, what makes me happiest is that I have always been by the leader's side, and the leader has never driven me away."

"You are still like a child who has not grown up." Xi Mingzhang replied with a smile:

"My body only looks young now, but it is actually old and frail. I'm afraid I will go down to accompany you in a year or two."

The smile on Lan Fenghuang's face became more intense, and her voice became softer:

"In that case, I will wait for you on the Yellow Spring Road. When the time comes, neither of us will drink Meng Po soup and will not reincarnate."

"Master, you will become a fierce and monstrous ghost king, and I will remain as your maid, okay?"

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and passed away without any response.

Xi Mingzhang remained silent for a long time, and then buried Lan Fenghuang with his own hands.
