With each breath, his true energy gradually spread throughout his body, cycling endlessly. Slowly, a faint purple aura appeared on Li Mu's face.

As the sun rose higher and reached its zenith, the purple aura on Li Mu's face deepened, becoming increasingly intense. By the time Li Mu came to his senses and finished his practice, it was already noon.

Li Mu let out a long breath, feeling that the sky was clear and the air was fresh, his senses were sharp, and his skill had clearly improved. Perhaps in less than two years, he would be able to enter the sixth level of the Purple Cloud Skill.

Only then will the world be vast, and there will be nowhere one cannot go.

Without lingering, they leisurely descended Chaoyang Peak.

After breakfast, we arrived at the training ground. In recent years, Mount Hua has become increasingly famous, and the number of disciples has also increased. I didn't recognize many of them.

He didn't know anyone else, but his disciples all knew him.

Especially a few months ago, Li Mu went down the mountain with his sword, and in less than a month, he killed the two notorious heroes of the northern desert and the famous camel of the northern frontier, Mu Gaofeng.

In no time, Li Mu became famous in the martial arts world, and everyone gave him a thumbs up. Among the new disciples of Mount Hua, he was like a star.

Many disciples wanted to learn swordsmanship from Li Mu, but he didn't have that much free time. However, due to Yue Buqun's teachings, he would come to the training ground every now and then to give these disciples some pointers.

Today it just so happened to be his turn. As soon as he arrived at the training ground, several disciples surrounded him. Li Mu had them demonstrate the basic sword techniques and sighed inwardly.

Many disciples practiced swordsmanship haphazardly from the very beginning, and their internal energy cultivation was also not very diligent.

They only think about learning more advanced sword techniques, thinking that once they learn them they will be more powerful and able to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world. Little do they know that a tall building starts from the ground up.

Looking at the many disciples who had gathered around him, their faces were full of longing.

Li Mu considered for a moment and said, "Fellow junior brothers, you have all been to school, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. These days, most of those sent to Mount Hua to learn martial arts are literate. Even if they are illiterate, Mount Hua will hire someone to teach them. After all, one cannot reach a high level of martial arts without some education.

Li Mu slowly took two steps and said loudly, "Actually, practicing swordsmanship and reading and writing are the same principle. No matter how complicated the character is, it is composed of horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling and turning strokes. No character can escape its scope. If you can master these strokes, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort if you want to learn good handwriting."

"Swordsmanship is the same. No matter how profound the swordsmanship is, it is composed of basic moves such as thrusting, slicing, parrying, and sweeping. If you want to master swordsmanship, you must master these basic moves. The Huashan introductory swordsmanship is a culmination of these basic moves and the foundation of a sect's swordsmanship. Don't underestimate it!"

Upon hearing this, many people seemed to ponder, realizing the importance of basic swordsmanship. Those who didn't listen to the advice couldn't blame others.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Mu then said, "Does everyone know the essence of my Huashan martial arts?"

The group exchanged glances, and one of them whispered, "Is the essence of Huashan martial arts 'uniqueness' and 'danger'?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's not entirely wrong."

"However, if I were to explain the essence of my Huashan martial arts, it would be to emphasize the use of Qi as the foundation and the sword as the application, with Qi as the guiding principle and the sword as the details."

"Swordsmanship must be mastered, and the cultivation of the Yuan Gong should not be neglected. You must know that while exquisite techniques are important, without internal strength as a foundation, even the most powerful techniques will not unleash their full potential. Everyone should not be too biased or too fixated on one aspect."

"Internal strength techniques and physical skills complement each other, and the key points must be carefully grasped by oneself."

Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Li Mu said no more and slowly walked away.

Chapter 567 The Nineteen Swords of the Jade Maiden

On this day, another earth-shattering event was reported in the martial arts world: Ren Woxing, the former leader of the Demonic Sect, reappeared.

Upon receiving the news, Yue Buqun sighed, "The martial world is about to enter another turbulent period!"

Some disciples of Mount Hua, however, were eager to watch the spectacle and were discussing it with great interest, all wishing they could go down the mountain to see what the great demon looked like.

Upon learning of this, Li Mu immediately rushed to Linghu Chong's residence and found him secretly drinking there.

Seeing Li Mu arrive, Linghu Chong waved the wine gourd in his hand: "Junior Brother Lin, would you like some?"

Li Mu asked, "Do you know that Ren Woxing, the former leader of the Demonic Sect, has returned to the martial world?"

Linghu Chong took a sip of wine and asked in confusion, "Six Monkeys already told me, what happened?"

Li Mu looked at him again: "Have you come down the mountain recently?"

Linghu Chong shook his wine gourd: "I just went down the mountain the day before yesterday and got a pot of wine. Why are you asking?"

Li Mu shook his head: "It's nothing, just drink your wine."

As Li Mu left Linghu Chong's residence, he was puzzled. Without Linghu Chong's involvement, Ren Woxing had somehow managed to come out again.

However, considering Xiang Wentian's abilities, as long as he knows that Ren Woxing is imprisoned in Plum Manor in West Lake, he will rescue him sooner or later.

Fortunately, it didn't bother him, so Li Mu quickly put it out of his mind.

Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly. Just after the New Year, news came from Mount Song that a grand meeting of the Five Sacred Mountains was planned for the sixth day of the sixth lunar month to discuss important matters.

"Isn't this just a merger?" Li Mu thought to himself.

This matter quickly spread throughout the martial arts world.

That day, Li Mu went down the mountain on business and passed by a tavern. He saw many martial arts practitioners sitting inside, so he went in and found a seat by the window.

This kind of gathering place for all sorts of people in the martial arts world is the perfect place to spread news. Any slight movement in the martial arts world can be quickly learned about and spread here.

Not long after I sat down, I overheard several martial arts practitioners nearby talking about the Five Mountains Alliance.

"Did you know? On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the Five Mountains Sword Sects will hold a meeting at Mount Song to discuss important matters concerning the Five Mountains Sword Sects," a chubby martial arts expert said mysteriously.

The other person said, "Everyone knows about this; it's been circulating in the martial arts world for a long time. You didn't just find out, did you?"

The chubby江湖人 immediately retorted, "How could that be? I already knew."

After saying that, he asked mysteriously again, "Do you know what important matter the Five Mountains Alliance is discussing this time?"

The people at another table sneered, "What's there to not know? Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, dreams of merging the five sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect into one, so that he can contend with Shaolin, Wudang, and the Demonic Sect."

The chubby martial arts expert's expression froze upon hearing this: "You all know?"

The man laughed and said, "This is as obvious as a louse on a monk's head! Everyone in the martial arts world knows it."

The chubby martial arts figure was speechless for a moment.

The man spoke again: "However, the merger of the Five Mountains Alliance is only one aspect of this Five Mountains Alliance meeting. I wonder if you are aware of the other purpose of Alliance Leader Zuo?"

The chubby江湖人 immediately became modest: "What other purpose do you have?"

The man laughed heartily, "What other purpose could it be? Of course, it's to become the leader of the new sword sect after the Five Mountains Sword Sects merge." The others were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The chubby江湖人 realized he'd been tricked, and his face flushed crimson. Then, as if remembering something and trying to save face, he spoke again.

"You think Zuo Lengchan can achieve his goal? In my opinion, although Master Zuo's plan is shrewd, he may not be able to get what he wants."

Just as everyone was about to ask the reason, the chubby江湖人 (jianghu person) deliberately put on a mysterious look and avoided answering.

The man who had tricked him earlier sneered and spoke again: "What's so strange about that? Everyone knows that heroes have emerged in the martial arts world in the past two years, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect has produced several young masters who are renowned throughout the martial arts world."

"Especially the Huashan Sect, which is full of talented people, it's uncertain whether Alliance Leader Zuo can keep them in check."

Another person suddenly realized and said, "That's right. In recent years, the Huashan Sect has been full of talented people. Take Young Hero Lin for example. Two years ago in Hengyang City, he single-handedly defeated two masters from the Songshan Sect, Ding Mian and Fei Bin, and made quite a name for himself."

"Some time ago, he went alone to the north with his sword and captured even the Mingtuomu Peak in the north, who had been a tyrant in the martial arts world for thirty years. He also killed the two notorious heroes of the northern desert with a single sword."

“These are all renowned masters in the underworld. Young Master Lin was able to kill several of them with a single sword strike, so you can imagine how skilled he is. Moreover, his master is Yue Buqun. In my opinion, Zuo Lengchan might not be able to control him.”

Another person responded: "Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"The Huashan Sect is incredibly powerful now. Not only has it produced a young master like Young Hero Lin, but it also has the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect, Young Hero Linghu Chong, who is also very powerful."

"Two years ago in Hengyang City, he fought Fei Bin, one of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan Mountain, alone. He defeated Fei Bin with just his sword, leaving Fei Bin in a sorry state and powerless to fight back. In the past two years, he has come down the mountain many times and has achieved even more remarkable feats."

"In my opinion, Young Master Linghu's martial arts skills are no worse than Young Master Lin's; both of them are top-notch."

One person said, "They are so powerful! A new generation surpasses the old. With two such good disciples, how could Yue Buqun be afraid of the Songshan Sect?"

Another person chimed in, "Then why would he need two disciples? If he could teach such skilled disciples, how profound must Yue Buqun's martial arts be?"

After chatting for a while about the Five Mountains Alliance, the group moved on to another, even more popular topic in the martial arts world: the return of Ren Woxing, the former leader of the Demonic Sect.

One person said, "It's really strange that Ren Woxing has appeared. Wasn't it rumored that he died more than ten years ago? How come he has suddenly reappeared in the martial arts world? Given Ren Woxing's personality, how could he not show his face for more than ten years?"

Another person chimed in, "Perhaps he was seriously injured and has been recuperating for years. Now that he's fully recovered, he's back in action."

One person said, "Ren Woxing is so famous, who has such great ability to beat him so badly that he has been recovering from injuries for more than ten years?"

Another person said, "Our righteous path is not without top masters. Master Chongxu, the leader of Wudang, and Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin, aren't they all rare masters in the world?"

The man who spoke earlier said, "Actually, there are others who can injure Ren Woxing?"

Someone asked, "Who?"

The man casually uttered four words: "Dongfang Bubai".

Many people suddenly realized, "That's right!"

Ren Woxing was the former leader of the Demonic Sect, and Dongfang Bubai is the current leader of the Demonic Sect.

Everyone says that Dongfang Bubai is the best in the world. So, it was only natural that he would injure Ren Woxing and become the leader of the sect.

A man dressed as a businessman suddenly sighed and said, "I actually wish Ren Woxing would stay out of the martial arts world."

Someone asked, "Why is that?"

The merchant said, "When Ren Woxing was the leader of the Demonic Sect, the sect was extremely unscrupulous. If they wanted anything, they would just rob it. They were utterly lawless. If anyone resisted, the sect would retaliate fiercely. Your family would be killed, or worse, your entire family would be wiped out by the sect."

Upon hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Someone asked, "Isn't the Demonic Sect still the same as it is now?"

The merchant said, "In the past ten years, the Demonic Sect has become much more restrained. On the one hand, it is deterred by the presence of our righteous heroes, and on the other hand, we have heard that Dongfang Bubai is no longer involved in sect affairs. The Demonic Sect is in disarray, fighting among itself and acting independently, so it has naturally caused less harm to us."

"If I had to choose, I would prefer Dongfang Bubai to remain the leader. If Ren Woxing were to become the leader, the martial world would likely descend into chaos again."
