Chapter 71 Leaving
Ren Shaoyang had never felt so good!
At a glance, one could find hundreds of tiny cracks in the stone wall.

If you sense something, simply follow the gap and thrust your weapon accordingly. You don't need much force to shatter the stone wall!
Ren Shaoyang was engrossed in the scene, gazing up at the sparse starry sky. Judging by the dense moisture, he casually remarked, "Heavy rain tomorrow morning."

As he immersed himself in the moment, his figure became increasingly upright, his robes fluttering, and his imposing presence radiating like a blazing sun, almost reaching the heavens and standing tall.

Ren Shaoyang turned his body slightly to the side and slowly glanced at the monk Hun.

When the monk met his eyes, he felt a surge of intense heat, as if his past and present lives were laid bare before those eyes.

At this moment, Ren Shaoyang's eyebrows were raised, and he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were unusually deep and his wisdom was like a torch.

The monk felt his mind collapsing, and his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

His face turned pale, and he noticed that Ren Shaoyang's expression was gradually becoming emotionless, as cold as an ancient, icy pool. Knowing something was wrong, he quickly took out a steel awl and struck the stone wall with his backhand.

Boom~!

A melodious sound, like a morning bell or evening drum, emanated from the stone wall, reverberating in all directions. When it reached the six images of the patriarchs, it produced a peculiar Buddhist chant, echoing melodiously.
"call"

Ren Shaoyang was startled by the Buddhist chant, the light in his eyes faded, and he regained his senses. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate his internal energy.

The monk suddenly felt the pressure ease, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body. He couldn't help but collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

After a long while, Ren Shaoyang slowly opened his eyes. A ray of divine light appeared and then disappeared. He looked to the side and saw the monk Hun staring at him blankly.

Ren Shaoyang was puzzled, so he flicked the Dragon Capture stick and wrote on the stone ground: "Master, what's wrong with me?"

The monk smiled slightly and wrote with a steel awl: "Congratulations, young master, on comprehending your true nature and achieving the realm of spiritual refinement."

"My true self?" Ren Shaoyang looked up at the moon and murmured to himself, "Was that dreamlike state just now my true self?"

He looked at the monk Hun and wrote, "Master, how do you feel?"

The monk Hun thought for a moment and wrote: "Having seen through the vast universe and illuminated all things, how can one not call upon heaven and earth!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly: "That's amazing? Then could it be called 'Piercing Tomorrow's Phase'?"

He read it a few times and felt something was off.

The phrase "洞穿明日相" sounds like a famous scene from a mecha anime where the female protagonist gets pierced through.

Just then, the monk gently patted his hand.

Ren Shaoyang looked up and saw the monk Hun get up and carve a line of small characters on the stone wall.

Ren Shaoyang – insightful understanding of the myriad aspects of the universe.

The young man stepped forward and touched the words: "Perceive the whole world?" He then looked at the monk Hun, only to see him smile and point to the blank space below.

Ren Shaoyang carved the words: "Master, do you want me to leave a portrait?"

The monk smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Ren Shaoyang also laughed, thinking to himself that he was a person from another world, and in this world he was just a shooting star that flashed by in an instant.

Who would have thought that a mark could be left at this moment?

It was quite a strange experience.

On second thought, the Great Vajra Divine Power was originally passed down from master to disciple, and it was only when it reached Lu Jian that, due to attachment to worldly affairs, it ultimately blended in with the world and returned to the mortal realm. If he were to leave behind a trace of it, wouldn't that leave the Great Vajra Divine Power with another possibility?

Haha, future kids, let me show you the kindness of Grandpa Ren!

Thinking of this, Ren Shaoyang couldn't help but smile. He then used the Dragon Capture technique to carve a picture on the stone wall.

What is being drawn?
Without much thought, under the influence of the "Heart-Sacrificing Style" power, his body moved at will, and an image flowed from the tip of his sword. His movements were fluid and graceful, yet perfectly in accordance with the laws of nature.

As he finished the last stroke, Ren Shaoyang's eyes shot out two beams of divine light, which landed on the stone wall.

Stone chips fell down in a flurry, and after a short while, a portrait slowly appeared.

This is a figure in a wide robe, holding a sword, with his back to you. His robes flutter and his long hair flies. Although his back is turned, strangely, this figure seems to be staring at you.

"Pah pah pah~!"

Just then, applause came from behind. Turning around, I saw the monk with tears in his eyes and a sincere smile.

The deaf-mute monk walked up to Ren Shaoyang, opened his arms, and gently hugged him.

Since arriving in the martial arts world, Ren Shaoyang has been killing people indiscriminately, and his mind is always on edge. Apart from Little Beggar and Ding An, he will not let anyone get close to him, let alone hug him.

But at this moment, the monk's big hug was a sign of the elder's sincere concern and paternal love.

Ren Shaoyang smiled from the bottom of his heart and hugged the thin, deaf-mute monk tightly in return.

One is laughing loudly, the other is smiling silently.

The monk released his grip, looked at the spirited Ren Shaoyang, and nodded.

I gently patted his shoulder and smiled to indicate that he could leave.

Ren Shaoyang looked at his kind expression and nodded.

But in his heart, he thought that when the monk Hun arrived later, he would be killed by Ye Fan, the "Sea-Eye That Doesn't Leak."

My heart grew heavy.

He wanted to make a move, but the feeling of rejection in his body was becoming increasingly intense, as if he were about to be carried away by the wind at any moment.

Ren Shaoyang knew that the time for this instance was about to end.

His expression turned serious, and he pulled the monk to squat on the ground, carving words with a dragon-catching brush.

"Master, will you acknowledge me as your young master?"

The monk smiled faintly and wrote, "Yes."

Ren Shaoyang wrote: "Then I, as your young master, command you that from now on, no matter who you face, you must fight back. If anyone dares to hit you, you beat them to a pulp! Remember, you must wait for me to come!"

The monk was taken aback and looked up at the handsome young man.

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently.

The monk smiled and wrote, "Okay."

Ren Shaoyang stood up, put his hands together in front of the monk Hun, and said softly, "You must wait for me. That kid Lu Jian is really into chasing girls, don't wait for him."

Having said that, he ignored the probing gaze of the muddle-headed monk, waved his hand, turned around, and strode away.
-
When Ren Shaoyang came to his senses, it was still sunset outside the window.

A lonely sky was ablaze with brilliant fiery clouds. A gentle breeze blew, and the moon's illusory shadow chased after the still-setting sun, hanging together in the sky.

It seemed as if a cool breeze, carried by the moon, dispelled the lingering heat of summer.

From a lawn in the distance, the laughter of Little Beggar, Ding'an, and a group of children drifted over.

They were playing a game called "Eagle Catches Chicks," with the little beggar as the chicken's head and six or seven little tails following behind him.

Ding'an, a bald-tailed eagle, the kind missing a wing, is clumsily chasing after the chirping "chicks."

The little beggar laughed the loudest, squawking loudly, and changed his nickname for Ding'an from "Big Clumsy Eagle" to "Clumsy Ding'an".

Ren Shaoyang looked at the noisy scene outside the window and couldn't help but laugh.

I slowly walked out of the room, lay back on the grass, plucked a blade of grass, put it in my mouth, and quietly listened to their laughter while watching the bright moon gradually rise in the sky.

In a daze, he recalled the words he had said to Hongxiu when the three of them fled the hut.

"Home is wherever we are." Having achieved the world-renowned reputation of being "unparalleled in the world," he felt this way.

With the crossover event approaching, such leisurely times are probably gone forever.

The world we're about to go to, however, may be even worse.

No matter how bad things get, he's not afraid. He possesses two supernatural powers, "Heart-Sacrifice" and "Eye-Clearing," and after entering the Refining Spirit realm, all kinds of martial arts have been integrated into one, causing his killing methods to spiral exponentially upwards.

"Damn, the improvement brought by just one 'Eye-Clearing Style' is so great."

Ren Shaoyang was secretly overjoyed.

"If the three techniques are combined into one, then the enhancement that this so-called 'Mind Movement' brings me will be at the level of nuclear fission?"

After thinking for a while, Ren Shaoyang thought of Ding'an and Hongxiu.

Ding An's internal energy cultivation is progressing rapidly, and he is becoming increasingly proficient in both fast and slow sword techniques. Once he can open up his Ren and Du meridians, he will be able to become a top-notch master.

The little beggar's words
Ren Shaoyang rubbed his brow, looking somewhat distressed.

After gaining a profound understanding of the myriad aspects of the universe, Ren Shaoyang's memory, insight, and comprehension abilities were enhanced to an astonishing degree. Looking back, as if time had rewound, he instantly clarified all his thoughts.

The pendant that Ding'an found, damn it, isn't it the pendant that records the "Heavenly Wrath Heart Method"?
The reason why the little beggar suddenly developed a powerful internal force was because the ghost pendant flew into the small divine furnace, combined with the demonic sword, and poured into her body.

Ren Shaoyang sighed and thought to himself, "This 'Heavenly Wrath Heart Method' is really bizarre. Could it be like the 'Return to Origin Manual', where consuming it will make you stronger?"

"Moreover, judging from how perverse it is in the TV series, this technique is probably at the level of 'Envy of Gods and Humans'!" Ren Shaoyang's expression turned serious. "If that's the case, I've only just entered the Refining Spirit stage, and I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to disperse the Heavenly Wrath True Qi!"

Just then, the little beggar walked over with a grin and said, "Crippled man, have you mastered the Eye-Brightness Technique?"

Ren Shaoyang turned around, his eyebrows arched in a smile: "You figured it out?"

Hongxiu laughed and said, "Of course! Don't forget, I've mastered all three styles. I knew as soon as you came out."

At this moment, Ding'an also walked over and plopped down next to him: "What are you thinking about?"

With a blade of grass in his mouth, Ren Shaoyang mumbled, "Thinking about apologizing."

"Apologize?" Ding'an was completely bewildered. "Why apologize? Who should we apologize to?"

Hongxiu laughed and said, "Crippled man, are you trying to say that my name isn't actually on that sword manual?"

Ren Shaoyang sat up, his smile unusually gone, and solemnly said, "Yes, I lied back then."

Hongxiu blinked and said, "Crippled man, if you're not lying, I really don't know if I can make it through."

She shook her head and said in a sweet voice, "So, I am Hongxiu, the Hongxiu of Ren Hongxiu."

Ren Shaoyang laughed and gave the little beggar a light high five.

No further explanation is needed.

Ding An paused for a moment, then looked left and right at the two of them, and blurted out, "You, are you talking about that sword manual?"

Hongxiu said, "So you finally found out?"

Ding An snorted: "Don't I know? Oh, right! I've recently gained some insights from studying the sword manual, and I've vaguely figured out a move. You'll see how powerful I am then!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily: "Alright, then we'll see what your 'Burning City' technique is all about!"

Ding An was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "The name is alright, but it's still a little worse than the one I came up with. I'll tell you, it'll be called..."

"Don't name it!" *2
Ren Shaoyang and the little beggar shouted at the same time, stopping Ding An.

"Broken hand, remember this: go for a stroll on the street whenever you have free time. That's a more promising path." Ren Shaoyang said sincerely, sighing, "You, you've already lost out if you didn't find any money."

The little beggar chuckled and said, "That's right, as long as you don't give it a random name, you can still have your hand cut off."

Ding'an blushed instantly, her neck stiff, and she muttered something like, "What's wrong with naming a child?" "Isn't naming a child a beautiful thing?"

This caused the two of them to burst into laughter, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

As the laughter subsided, the three lay side by side on the grass, quietly gazing at the unreachable sky. Gradually, the seasons changed, and a full moon rose high in the sky atop the mountain.

The cool sunlight pierced through the layers of tree canopy, casting a soft, dappled glow on their faces.

Suddenly, Hongxiu said, "Shaoyang, is something on your mind?"

Before Ren Shaoyang could speak, Ding An nodded and said, "I saw it all!"

Ren Shaoyang was amused, then sat up and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.

Hongxiu and Ding'an were startled by his solemn expression and quickly sat up.

Ren Shaoyang said slowly, "If I say I'm leaving, will you come with me?"

"Come on, where to?"

"If you're going to leave, then leave together. Why are you asking this stupid question?"

Ding'an and Hongxiu relaxed and frowned as they spoke.

Ren Shaoyang said, "What I mean is, let's go to another world."

The two were stunned.

Hongxiu asked cautiously, "Crippled man, you...you're not going to commit suicide, are you?"

Ding An shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die either!"

"oops!"

Enraged, Ren Shaoyang stepped forward and gave them two sharp raps on the head. As they scurried away with their heads in their hands, he explained that the three of them were going to a completely new and unfamiliar world to see a completely different landscape.

"My God, you cripple, isn't that like becoming a god?" Ding'an was shocked when he heard this.

Hongxiu smiled and asked, "What are we going to do?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled and said leisurely, "See a different kind of martial arts world, help out when you encounter injustice, make friends with interesting people, discover great treasures, witness different martial arts, seek medical treatment and resolve the hidden dangers in your body."

A great treasure?

"Different martial arts?"

Ren Shaoyang spoke with a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry), but the two automatically ignored most of what he said, only listening to what interested them. Ren Shaoyang was still reminiscing when Hongxiu urged him on.

"Hey cripple, let's go! Let's see what Da Bao... uh, the new world of martial arts is all about!" The little beggar chuckled.

Ding An grinned as well: "I hope I'll meet some interesting people in this new world, people who also have pleasant voices."

Are you sure?

"Yes, we're sure! Wherever you go, we'll go!"

"What if the new martial arts world is even worse than this?"

Hongxiu and Ding'an paused, thought for a moment, and then asked in unison, "In the new martial arts world, is there anyone more monstrous than the Blood Saber Ancestor?"

Ren Shaoyang was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "There aren't many people more perverted than him."

"Then let's go! What are you afraid of?"

"Yes, delicious food, fun activities, a huge treasure trove, and new martial arts! Yo-ho!"

Ren Shaoyang was also caught up in the laughter, stood up with his hands on his hips, and said with great enthusiasm:
"Alright, let's travel the world together in a donkey cart!"

P.S.: I still can't write about Wei Jinzhong; if I do, the combat power will collapse.
