The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 498 Granny Tong, please apply a few more Life and Death Talismans.
"Boy, would you like to try my Life and Death Talisman?"

Faced with Xiao Wu Xingyun's "invitation to experience", Xu Xingchen really thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said: "Grandma Tong, your life and death talisman should be useless to me."

Xiao Wuxingyun raised her pale, delicate eyebrows and said, "Boy, do you look down on my Life and Death Talisman?"

Xu Xingchen smiled, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he changed his mind and said, "Very well, since Granny Tong doesn't believe me, then this junior will test the power of the Life and Death Talisman!"

He meant it when he said that, because he suddenly felt that coming to the world of Tianlong without personally experiencing the power of the Life and Death Talisman would be a regret.

Xiao Wu Xingyun clearly hadn't expected what Xu Xingchen was thinking, and only thought that the other party was provoking him, so he couldn't help but snort coldly.

A small, snow-white hand stretched out, and white, chilling energy swirled and surged out, expanding and spreading before contracting back into the palm.

Several thin shards of ice immediately appeared in her palm.

With a flick of her hand, thin ice shards flashed through the air and disappeared into Xu Xingchen's body.

Xiao Wu Xingyun sneered, "The Life and Death Talisman I planted in your body will activate immediately. Experience it for yourself."

"If you can't bear it anymore, just beg me, and I, the Old Woman, will show leniency and remove the Life-and-Death Talisman from you."

Xu Xingchen was about to fully experience the power of the Life and Death Talisman when it was activated, but soon he frowned.

The moment the Life and Death Talisman entered his acupoints, before it could even disperse and activate, the vast and ceaseless flow of Yin and Yang internal energy in his meridians generated an instinctive reaction, suddenly launching an attack on this foreign object that did not belong to his own power system.

For example, a piece of mud suddenly thrown into a turbulent river will instantly disintegrate and return to where it came from.

puff!

A clear sound.

Xu Xingchen's clothes swayed slightly, and an invisible stream of energy burst out from the acupoint where the Life and Death Talisman had entered, dissipating into the air.

Xu Xingchen looked up at Xiao Wuxingyun, who had just finished speaking, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Just now, it was a stress reaction of my internal energy that forced out the Life and Death Talisman you had just planted."

"Grandma Tong, could you please prepare a few more Life and Death Talismans?"

"This time, I promise to slow down the speed of my internal energy circulation, allowing those life-and-death talismans to settle within my body."

Xiao Wuxingyun's expression immediately turned ugly.

What do you mean?
I was just saying I wanted you to experience the power of the Life and Death Talisman.

I had barely finished speaking when you forced out the Life and Death Talisman that I, the Child Granny, had planted?!
Isn't this just a slap in the face to me, the Old Woman?
In a fit of anger.

Xiao Wu Xingyun slapped the table with her small hand, and the tea in the teacup shot up into the air, drawing an arc before splashing down in front of her.

Two small hands were enveloped in a chilling aura, and then slapped out in quick succession.

The spilled tea immediately froze into ice, transforming into thin, white streams of cold water, like blooming flowers, enveloping dozens of acupoints on Xu Xingchen's body.

Xu Xingchen's eyes lit up. Without resisting, he let the dozens of white cold currents rush into his body, while trying to slow down the flow of Yin and Yang internal energy in his meridians and acupoints.

He really wanted to give those life-and-death talismans a home!

even so.

Many life-and-death talismans were still gently stimulated by his Yin-Yang internal force, causing them to disintegrate again and burst out from the acupoints, causing Xu Xingchen's clothes to tremble and hiss continuously.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuxingyun's eyebrows twitched, his eyes burned with anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Yet a hint of shock and surprise flashed across her eyes.
finally.
Under Xu Xingchen's careful protection, the seven life-and-death talismans finally settled in his acupoints and began to circulate, preparing to spread to other areas along the meridians.

However, as soon as they entered the meridians, the vast Yin and Yang internal forces gently touched them, like a wheel crushing a mantis trying to stop a chariot, instantly annihilating them without leaving a trace.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my internal energy is too powerful; the power of the Life and Death Talisman is simply no match for it."

Xu Xingchen quickly separated a wisp of Yin-Yang internal energy to form a Yuan Magnetic Ring, encircling the last Life and Death Talisman and keeping it in the acupoint to prevent it from running around and disappearing as well.

The environment inside his body was like an endless purgatory for the Life and Death Talisman; it was impossible to stay there for even a moment longer.

This is unprecedented!

Xu Xingchen carefully studied the last remaining life-and-death talisman, manipulating and analyzing the power circulation pattern within it through the magnetic ring surrounding it.

"It does not primarily rely on Yin and Yang internal energy, but rather on a four-to-six division, with each element spiraling and mutually compatible."

"It does have a certain exquisite quality."

"But is this all the mystery of the Life and Death Talisman? It's far too simplistic."

Study it for a while.

The last Life and Death Talisman, under the manipulation of the Yuan Magnetic Ring, gradually became disordered, lost its function, and turned into a wisp of waste gas, which was expelled from the body.

Xu Xingchen opened his eyes and saw Xiao Wuxingyun glaring angrily at him. He gave an awkward smile and insincerely praised, "Uh, Granny Tong's Life and Death Talisman is indeed mysterious and magical. I admire it greatly."

At this moment, Wu Yazi, who was sitting on the bed, burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Senior Sister, Master Xu's internal energy cultivation method also combines Yin and Yang, and he has also learned the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

"Any other internal energy that enters his body will be either absorbed or expelled, having no effect on him whatsoever."

Xiao Wuxingyun turned and glared at Wuyazi: "Junior brother, is this funny?"

"Besides, to cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art, doesn't it require exhausting all the internal energy from all the internal cultivation techniques we've done before?"

"Why is it that this kid can cultivate both his original internal energy cultivation method and the Northern Darkness Divine Art?"

"Junior brother, aren't you curious about the secrets this kid holds?"

"Hmm," Wu Yazi was speechless for a long while before slowly saying, "I am indeed very curious about the internal energy cultivation method that Master Xu practices. Why is it so miraculous?"

Facing their curious gazes, Xu Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "My internal energy cultivation method integrates the essence of several unparalleled divine martial arts manuals, thus enabling me to cultivate martial arts from various schools and sects across the world."

"As for why you are able to cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art as well?"

"It's because my internal energy cultivation method once incorporated a technique extremely similar to the Northern Darkness Divine Art, called the Star Absorbing Technique."

Wu Yazi exclaimed in surprise, "The Star Absorbing Technique?!"

Xiao Wu Xingyun exclaimed in disbelief, "I don't believe there is any martial art in this world that can rival my sect's Northern Darkness Divine Art."

Xu Xingchen made no attempt to hide anything, and slowly recounted the cultivation mantra of the Star Absorbing Technique, which he had modified, perfected, and updated to be synchronized with this world.

Body like an empty valley
To gather the strength of all sides and use it for one's own purposes
The final step is transformation, absorption, and removal of drawbacks.
The content was very detailed and substantial.

Upon arriving in this world, the first cultivation technique Xu Xingchen obtained was the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Its effects are similar to the Star Absorbing Technique, and there are many aspects that can be learned from it.

Therefore, the Star Absorbing Technique, as a standalone martial art, was the first to undergo a complete upgrade and replacement.

After hearing about the extremely comprehensive cultivation method of the Star Absorbing Technique, which was remarkably similar in effect to the Northern Darkness Divine Art, Wu Yazi and Xiao Wuxingyun fell silent.

The two were utterly bewildered.

".What's going on?"

"Why does such a divine skill truly exist in this world, so similar to the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, capable of absorbing the internal energy of others for one's own use?"

"Although this Star Absorbing Technique isn't as exquisitely subtle as the Northern Darkness Divine Art, which can absorb another's internal energy from every acupoint on the body, the final effect is the same." "Indeed, there's nothing new under the sun."

"Perhaps, Master also saw this Star Absorbing Technique when he created the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

The two were filled with a myriad of thoughts.

After a long while, Xiao Wuxingyun was the first to come to his senses. Looking at Wuyazi on the bed, he laughed loudly and said, "Junior brother, it turns out that the Beiming Divine Art you cultivate is not unique in the world!"

Wu Yazi snapped out of his daze and looked at Xu Xingchen with a wry smile: "I never imagined that there was such a technique in this world that could also absorb the internal energy of others for one's own use."

After a moment of silence, he finally added, somewhat reluctantly, "However, this Star Absorbing Technique can only absorb the internal energy of others through the Laogong acupoints in the palms of both hands. Compared to my sect's Northern Darkness Divine Art, it is still quite inferior."

Xu Xingchen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this Star Absorbing Technique is no match for the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

This is the end.

The discussion about Xu Xingchen's martial arts technique quietly came to an end.

The two became increasingly curious about the lineage behind Xu Xingchen.

Whether it's the two divine skills that were revealed one after the other, or the Nine Yang Divine Skill that hasn't been revealed yet.

Their lineage and traditions are so profound that they cannot afford to be indifferent.

Therefore, Xu Xingchen's importance in their hearts increased again and again.

Wu Xingyun, the proud and arrogant Tianshan Child Granny, no longer dared to look down on or belittle her in the slightest.

As a result, Xiao Wuxingyun's mindset became more and more peaceful during the ensuing discussion.

And he began to intentionally or unintentionally reveal the essence of his cultivation of the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique.

Isn't this a kind of compromise?!

A recognition of Xu Xingchen's identity?!
Xu Xingchen listened attentively and analyzed carefully, and her discussion with the two gradually deepened.

in the next period of time.

After discussing the contents of the Nine Yin Manual, the three began to discuss the secret of the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique, specifically the one that caused Wu Xingyun's body to shrink.

Gradually.
Some elements from the two divine skills are linked together.

Some things are starting to take shape.
This greatly boosted the morale of the three!

During this time, Duan Yu, who was staying at the mountain villa, also devoted himself to the practice of martial arts.

In some ways, he was an idiot.

In his youth, whether it was reading Buddhist scriptures or studying the I Ching, he would often study so diligently that he forgot to eat or sleep, day and night, as long as he was interested.

Now, I've become obsessed with martial arts and am completely immersed in it.

Regarding his current state, Xu Xingchen joked, "With no woman in his heart, drawing his sword is naturally divine!"

Dayu Manor is a peaceful place.

In the martial arts world, the struggle between Murong Fu and his son and Qiao Feng and his son continues unabated. Every time they appear, they attract crowds who watch with awe and wonder.

After leaving Suzhou, Ye Erniang quietly returned to the chaotic Shaolin Temple.

First, she went to the place where her husband's ashes were kept to pay her respects.

Then, disguised himself and inquired about Xu Zhu's whereabouts outside Shaolin Temple.

It didn't take long before she met Xu Zhu, that ugly monk.

Xu Zhu's mediocre martial arts skills were no match for Ye Erniang's actions of tearing his clothes and examining his back and buttocks for the ordination scars.

When Ye Erniang finally confirmed that Xuzhu was indeed her biological son, she couldn't help but hug Xuzhu and burst into tears.

Xu Zhu, a somewhat simple-minded and foolish monk, was caught off guard by his mother, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and was at a loss for how to react.

Perhaps it was a mother's heart that connected with her son, but Xu Zhu felt a sense of closeness and warmth from Ye Erniang and quickly accepted this unexpected kinship.

At the very beginning.

Ye Erniang settled down at the foot of Mount Song, where she shared motherly affection with Xuzhu, who occasionally came down the mountain.

But not long after, Ye Erniang could no longer bear the way she could only see her son once every so often.

I realized I only had a year left to live.

She then had Xu Zhu leave a letter at Shaolin Temple, and then took him away from Mount Song, finding a remote and secluded market to settle down in, where they spent the rest of their lives quietly and happily.

This day.

The gate of Dayu Manor was knocked on once again.

A disciple of the Deaf-Mute Sect went to open the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw the person outside.

Upon hearing that the visitor was there to pay a visit to Master Xu, the deaf-mute disciple told him to wait outside and turned back to report the matter to his master, Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe naturally couldn't make the decision himself, so he could only go to his master's courtyard, stand outside the door, and report to the three people inside who were sitting and discussing the Dao.

"Excuse me, Master! Senior Uncle! Master Xu!"

"A woman named Wang Yuyan has arrived outside the manor. She says she has come to visit Master Xu. I wonder if Master Xu would be willing to see her?"

The discussions inside the room abruptly ceased.

Xu Xingchen's gaze fell on Wu Yazi on the bed.

Just then, Wu Yazi's gaze also turned over, a hint of barely concealed excitement flickering in his eyes.

Xiao Wuxingyun's insight was astonishing. He immediately noticed the strangeness in the eyes of the two and asked Wuyazi, "Is that woman outside the manor here to visit this boy? Junior brother, do you also know that woman named Wang Yuyan?"

Wu Yazi lowered his eyes, sighed, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen said what Wu Yazi shouldn't have said: "The woman outside the door is Senior Wu Yazi's granddaughter."

"Huh?" Xiao Wuxingyun didn't react at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "What? It's actually my junior brother's granddaughter?"

Xiao Wu Xingyun was furious and yelled at Wu Yazi, "Junior brother, you and that bitch actually had a daughter back then? And now you even have a granddaughter? You...you!"

As the conversation progressed, Xiao Wuxingyun was so angry that she wanted to swear, but she wanted to maintain some composure in front of her beloved, so she couldn't bring herself to utter a curse.

However, she quickly laughed in anger: "That slut had a daughter with you back then, instead of being a good wife and mother, she cheated on you and married the emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom."

"Hmph, hmph. Just as I thought, a seductive and alluring harlot."

Wu Yazi frowned and said, "Senior Sister."

Xiao Wu Xingyun snorted angrily, ignoring Wu Yazi's words, and turned to Xu Xingchen, saying, "Boy, come on, this old woman will accompany you to meet your junior brother's granddaughter."

"Look at her, she bears a striking resemblance to that bitch."
