Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"Ethereal as a ghost, nimble as a bird in flight!"

Chen Hao had somehow walked up to Wanwan's side. Watching Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan's confrontation, he exclaimed, "Shi Zhixuan's movement techniques are truly exceptional in this world."

Upon seeing Chen Hao, Wanwan immediately abandoned Shen Luoyan and moved closer to him.

"This is the Illusionary Demon Movement Technique!"

"Shi Zhixuan created his movement technique by combining the extreme martial arts of the 'Flower School' and the 'Heaven-Mending Path' with Buddhist martial arts."

Chen Hao looked at Shi Zhixuan and a mysterious aura flashed in his golden eyes. His gaze penetrated Shi Zhixuan's body and took in the trajectory of the true energy in his body: "In terms of talent, Shi Zhixuan can be considered one of the most outstanding people in your world and this era."

The methods Shi Zhixuan practiced, including "Heavenly One Heart Method," "Eight Steps to Break the Lotus," "Illusory Demon Body Method," "Undying Seal Method," and "Seven Illusions of Undying," were all created by him.

Moreover, each of these martial arts techniques would be a rare and unparalleled skill in this world.

Although these techniques were created by Shi Zhixuan by combining the mental cultivation methods of the "Flower School" and the "Heaven-Mending Path" with some Buddhist theories, one cannot help but admire his talent.

After all, most martial artists in this world follow the cultivation methods created by their predecessors, and very few people forge their own paths, let alone a prodigy like Shi Zhixuan who created multiple cultivation methods.

The "Immortal Seal Technique" he created is exceptionally sophisticated.

The Undying Seal Technique is an illusion technique that evolved from the demonic sect's martial arts. It is a profound martial art that Shi Zhixuan combined the secret teachings of the "Flower Sect" and the "Heaven-Mending Sect" of the demonic sect, based on the profound Buddhist concept of "not on this shore, not on the other shore, not in between," and finally formed after countless life-and-death battles.

Utilizing the principle of yin and yang generating each other and the reversal of things at their extremes, the true qi is rapidly transformed between life and death, so that it is almost inexhaustible and there is no phenomenon of not being able to breathe. It can freely switch between the two energies of life and death.

The Immortal Seal Technique includes using true qi to detect, know, and confuse the enemy. Its essence lies in "borrowing force," utilizing the rapid transformation between life and death qi to borrow and neutralize force, turning the true qi (death qi) attacked by others into life qi, restoring one's own qi and blood, and the method of how to make one's true qi and internal strength endless and inexhaustible.

Although the "Undying Seal Technique" was created by Shi Zhixuan, a member of the demonic sect, it contains a superhuman philosophical thought.

It represents the emptiness in Buddhism and the intentional or unintentional connection between Taoism and the Tai Chi philosophy. It represents the limit that a person can reach, the contradictions and conflicts in human nature, and the rebellious act of acting willfully in the face of the many limitations brought about by one's identity.

It even shares similarities with the Qiankun Great Shift.

“Hmm!” Wanwan nodded in agreement and sighed, “Shi Zhixuan is indeed a terrifying person.”

"With his talent, he should have been able to unify the two factions and six paths of the demonic sect, and integrate the demonic order to oppose the righteous path."

"It's a pity that he was tricked by those old nuns at Cihang Jingzhai and has now gone mad."

Shi Zhixuan suffers from a split personality; at times he acts like a virtuous monk, and at other times he is as murderous as a demon.

Chen Hao shook his head and said softly, "Although Bi Xiuxin's death was a trigger for Shi Zhixuan's schizophrenia, it was not the root cause."

"Oh?!" Wanwan looked at Chen Hao with suspicion and asked curiously, "Could it be that Shi Zhixuan already showed signs of schizophrenia before he was tricked by Cihang Jingzhai?"

“That’s right!” Chen Hao nodded, then said seriously, “The martial arts training of the Butian Pavilion and the Flower Sect are two completely different paths, as you should know, Wanwan.”

Wanwan nodded and then said, "Although the Flower Sect belongs to the Demonic Sect, the martial arts practice within the sect emphasizes vitality, and most of its successors are self-proclaimed refined, unrestrained, and like scholars."

"But the Butian Pavilion studies all kinds of killing techniques. A true assassin must be indifferent, ruthless, and live in seclusion."

At this point, Wanwan suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked at Chen Hao in surprise:

"Could Shi Zhixuan's schizophrenia be because he simultaneously cultivated the inheritances of the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

“That’s right!” Chen Hao nodded with a light laugh: “These two styles of kung fu are like two things of the same nature but in opposite positions, which results in Shi Zhixuan having two well-developed and completely opposite personalities.”

"At the beginning, the spiritual conflict between the two schools of martial arts had no effect on Shi Zhixuan."

"But as time went on, Shi Zhixuan gradually became unable to cope with living these two completely different lifestyles at the same time, and thus slowly began to suffer from dissociative identity disorder."

"Of course, after realizing this, Shi Zhixuan did not intend to abandon the inheritance of either school. Instead, he wanted to merge the techniques of the two schools together."

Wanwan suddenly realized: "So this is the reason why Shi Zhixuan created the 'Undying Seal Technique' and other cultivation methods?"

“Yes!” Chen Hao nodded, then said with a faint smile, “Sometimes you’ll never know how much potential you have if you don’t push yourself.”

"Without the conflict between the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion's cultivation techniques forcing him to achieve this, Shi Zhixuan would not have been able to achieve what he has today."

At this moment, Chen Hao had already memorized the trajectory of the true energy within Shi Zhixuan's body and roughly grasped the profound mystery of Shi Zhixuan's technique. He then concealed the mysterious aura in his golden eyes:

"Great Sage, record and analyze the trajectory of Shi Zhixuan's true energy flow to see if you can deduce his cultivation technique!"

As he spoke, Chen Hao dumped all the information he had seen into the Great Sage's mind.

Upon hearing Chen Hao's command, the Great Sage's voice resounded in Chen Hao's mind:

"yes!"

After sensing that the Great Sage had begun to operate, Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Hao didn't have much hope that the Great Sage could deduce and reconstruct Shi Zhixuan's "Undying Seal Technique" and "Illusionary Demon Body Technique," etc.

After all, what the Great Sage recorded was only Shi Zhixuan's true qi circulation trajectory and moves, and lacked the martial arts mental techniques that aided his cultivation.

Furthermore, the "Undying Seal Technique" and other techniques created by Shi Zhixuan were only half-finished products and not perfect.

However, Chen Hao didn't care too much!

He was merely collecting the wisdom from these people's martial arts for his own accumulation; he had no need to covet other people's martial arts techniques.

Chapter 220 Sets the Opening Time of the Grotto Heaven

Just as Chen Hao and Wanwan were discussing, Yan Fei's voice came to his ear: "Aren't you going to help? It seems that Sect Leader Zhu has already lost ground."

"Don't worry about it!" Chen Hao shook his head: "Although Shi Zhixuan's martial arts skills are above Zhu Yuyan's, his mental state has great flaws and he can't threaten Zhu Yuyan."

"Mmm~ Mmm~!" Wanwan chimed in, "Master and Shi Zhixuan have clashed countless times, and it's always been like this."

Chen Hao stopped paying attention to the battle between Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan, and turned to those around him who had or had not obtained the [Kun] character jade token, saying, "In ten days, the Cave Heaven - Luofu Cave will open to the public."

"At that time, only those who possess the jade tablet with the character 'Kun' will be able to pass through the portal of the cave and enter the Luofu Cave through the Yin-Yang Bagua formation I have set up!"

Upon hearing Chen Hao's shout, everyone around turned their attention away from the confrontation between Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan.

"Ten days later!" Ning Daoqi sighed as he looked at the jade tablet with the character "Kun" in his hand.

Then he said to Chen Hao, "The He Shi Bi is not with me right now. If you are not in a hurry, young friend Chen Hao, please allow me to bother you for a few more days."

Chen Hao nodded: "Please go ahead, Daoist Ning!"

"I believe that in this world, no one has ever dared to snatch the He Shi Bi jade from your hands."

"Hehe!" Ning Daoqi stroked his beard and chuckled. "Don't worry, young friend! This old Daoist still has some authority in this world, and everyone will give me some face."

Although he said that, Ning Daoqi felt a bit wary.

Although the news of his deal with Chen Hao would inevitably spread after this battle, those who aspire to the throne would not stand by and watch Ning Daoqi hand over such a treasure as the He Shi Bi.

They will inevitably try to obtain the He Shi Bi jade from Ning Daoqi by various means.

They used robbery, theft, deception, and feints, among other things.

If Ning Daoqi were to be even slightly careless, he might really lose face.

However, there is some good news as well!

Now everyone's attention is drawn to the Luofu Cave, and their main focus will be on finding the jade tablet with the character "Kun". It is likely that there will be far fewer people coming to plot against the He Shi Bi.

On the other side, Song Que, along with Song Yuzhi, Song Yuhua, and others, bowed to Chen Hao and said softly:

"Since Mr. Chen Hao has already decided on the time, then let's meet here again in ten days."

Chen Hao smiled and returned the greeting: "Of course!"

Upon hearing Chen Hao's response, Song Que nodded, then turned and walked towards Yangzhou City with Song Zhi, Song Yuzhi, Song Yuhua, and others.

Everyone else, whether they received the jade token or not, greeted Chen Hao and then headed towards Yangzhou City.

They either waited in Yangzhou for the Luofu Cave to open, or rushed back to use various methods to collect the jade tablets with the character "Kun".

The injured Fan Qinghui and the confused Shi Feixuan retreated towards Yangzhou City under Ning Daoqi's protection.

In a short while, the area became sparsely populated, leaving only Chen Hao and his group, members of the Yin Gui Sect, and Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan who were fighting.

Although Shi Zhixuan was somewhat confused, after realizing that the situation was unfavorable to him, he immediately used the Illusionary Demon Movement Technique to fight with Zhu Yuyan while retreating into the distance.

Chen Hao ignored Shi Zhixuan's reaction and turned to Yan Fei, Zi Nu, Jing Ni, Wei Zhuang, Han Fei, Gai Nie, Ying Zheng, and others, asking, "I have nothing more to do here. What are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm~!?" Han Fei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is my first time in another world, and I'm curious about everything here."

"If I could, I would like to explore this world on my own."

Upon hearing Han Fei's idea, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement: "I have the same idea."

Chen Hao first looked at Han Fei and Ying Zheng quietly, then nodded and said, "Brother Han Fei and Young Master Shang, if you want to see this world properly, I will naturally not stop you."

"However, you two would be better off bringing bodyguards when you go out."

As he spoke, Chen Hao pointed to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang standing beside them.

Without the protection of Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, Chen Hao wouldn't dare let the two of them wander around outside alone.

"I will keep an eye on Han Fei!"

Wei Zhuang nodded coldly to Chen Hao.

As for the other world, Wei Zhuang also wanted to explore it on his own and get to know its customs and culture.

However, Wei Zhuang also understood that if he let Han Fei, this scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken, wander around this world, he might have to collect Han Fei's corpse very soon.

·· ······Requesting flowers···· ···

After all, not every force that has taken notice of them is easy to deal with.

"Ok!"

Gai Nie stood quietly beside Ying Zheng and nodded gently.
