The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with Conquering Huang Rong

Yang Guo asked expectantly, "It's not one of your illusions, is it?"

Liuli Ying still looked at Yang Guo with eyes full of admiration and said, "Yes and no. The Sacred Flame Heart Method that I cultivate is the foundation of all martial arts of the Ming Cult."

"Among them are three methods by which the Venerable One assists the Holy Maiden in her cultivation."

"Firstly, it involves the transfer of power. The Holy Maiden can form a holy seal, allowing the Bright Lord to transfer divine power to help her overcome obstacles."

Yang Guo was troubled because he possessed the divine power of farting.

"Secondly, it is about transmitting the Dharma. Some of the techniques recorded in the Sacred Flame Token are incomplete even with current interpretations. Your Excellency, you can improve and interpret them to transmit the Dharma."

Yang Guo was even more troubled. He struggled to decipher the strange, indistinct characters in his mind, and they were incomplete, only containing the part about the woman's martial arts technique.

"Thirdly, dual cultivation."

Yang Guo was overjoyed; finally, there was something he knew how to do.

Seeing Mingzun's overjoyed expression, Liuli Ying wondered if Mingzun knew this. She continued, "The Sacred Flame Heart Sutra seems to record a cyclical method that allows both parties to establish a cycle of light. Then... then the Holy Maiden's inner strength will be continuously purified and sublimated in this cycle, becoming imbued with your divinity."

Yang Guo was disappointed; it all sounded perfectly normal.

However, Yang Guo asked, puzzled, "From what I've heard, your first and third methods seem to be missing a key element. Otherwise, how would we guide the transmission?"

"Isn't this method recorded in the Sacred Flame Token?"

Liuli Ying shook her head.

Yang Guo asked, "Ying'er, does the Ming Cult really not possess the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

Liuli Ying shook her head again.

Liuli Ying thought for a moment and said, "Mingzun, perhaps there is, but the headquarters lost most of the cultivation manuals before, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the Central Plains. Could it be that this cultivation manual has been lost?"

Yang Guo thought it was possible.

"Lord, is this law important?"

Yang Guo didn't think it was that important before, but now he thinks it is very important.

"Ying'er, do you think this method might be the foundation of the Dharma transmission and dual cultivation you just mentioned?"

Previously, he only thought about the external use of the Great Shift, such as the transfer of the enemy's internal energy, its rebound, and the replication of moves.

If we transfer the energy internally, we can reconcile the conflicts and imbalances within the practitioner's internal energy, achieving a balanced state of "dragon and tiger meeting, water and fire in harmony." Isn't that what dual cultivation is?

Liuli Ying was also surprised. Now that she mentioned it, it seemed that the headquarters really was lacking this technique. But this technique should have been mentioned in the teachings and cultivation records. Could it really have been lost?

Its importance should be no less than that of the Sacred Flame Token, but she did not receive a mission to find this method.

Back then, even the twelve Sacred Flame Tokens were transmitted to the Central Plains. This method shouldn't have been lost. If the headquarters lost this method, shouldn't we search for it together this time?

"Besides these three, does Ying'er have any others?"

Liuli Ying dared not look at him.

Yang Guo knew immediately that it was true.

Seeing that the woman had lowered her head and remained silent, no longer displaying the fervor she had shown just moments before, only shyness remained.

Yang Guo lifted her chin: "Speak."

Liuli Ying didn't dare to resist, and could only look at him with a slightly flushed face and say, "And then there's that illusion. I... I used the sound of the wind chimes in conjunction with my divine runes to arouse the other party's seven emotions and six desires. At that time, I aroused your desire, and then... then I was deeply trapped in it. But after it ended, my internal strength obviously increased, and more importantly, my understanding of the holy law became deeper. I... I don't know what happened."

"However, there must be some reason hidden inside that we don't know about."

"My Lord... has your inner strength increased?"

Aside from feeling a bit better, Yang Guo didn't really feel anything else.

But we'll have to try again to find out, since he can sense something from her too.

"Ying'er, is there any more?"

Yang Guo helped her up.

In fact, once his figure became clear in her mind, as long as she stayed by his side, believed in him, and deepened her faith, her cultivation would be many times faster than before.

But she still inexplicably mentioned the growth in the illusion.

Perhaps this will also help Mingzun grow.

After all, she was serving him in the illusion, which wasn't much different from being outside.

Yang Guo also wanted to give it a try, hoping for a different experience.

"Ying'er, besides this Mingzun, what other uses does it have?"

Liuli Ying tilted her head as she thought.

Mingzun was the source of her faith, the originator of all her practices, and the creator of the Ming Cult.

The Holy Maiden's primary duty is to continuously cultivate the Holy Fire Heart Sutra, perfect her own power of light, and maintain her purity and integrity until she reaches the standard required for the descent of the Bright Lord.

"And another thing is that he can get anything he wants."

Does that include you?

"Of course... Ying'er was originally yours."

Yang Guo was actually quite curious about one question.

"Ying'er, you said a saintess must remain pure, but what if she serves the Venerable One? Would she still be a saintess after that?"

"what?"

Liuli Ying was also stunned; it seemed so.

Wouldn't that conflict with the doctrine? But how is she supposed to serve?

She is still waiting for the descent of the Bright Lord. If that happens, wouldn't it be impossible to fulfill this condition?

Yang Guo found it somewhat amusing to watch the woman's ever-changing expressions, sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes ashamed, and sometimes angry.

He couldn't help but pinch her pretty cheek and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Liuli Ying wanted to kneel down again, but Yang Guo grabbed her and wouldn't let her.

"If you ever dare to kneel again, you are not allowed to appear in front of me."

Liuli Ying's face turned pale: "Ah, no, please don't be angry with Ying'er, I..."

Yang Guo felt sorry for the woman when he saw that she had been frightened.

He whispered in her ear, "It would be perfect if it were like a dream."

Liuli Ying's originally pale face flushed bright red, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Yang Guo was also stunned.

"But...but then Ying'er wouldn't be a saint anymore, would she?"

Yang Guo shook his head: "First of all, all physical contact in the illusion will not be reflected in the physical body, so it seems to only involve the mental level."

"Secondly, if what you're talking about is just cultivating some kind of Sacred Fire Heart Method or the power of light, it has nothing to do with this body."

Although Yang Guo did not know the specifics of the Sacred Flame Technique, he had seen part of the use of these divine runes in her illusion. Their essence was also the power of extreme yang and strength, which is why they were called the power of light.

Liuli Ying had no objection to serving the Mingzun; she would accept any form of service.

However, Yang Guo was overthinking things. This woman was already smitten with him, and her divine runes were flashing incessantly. The key issue was that she couldn't control them. If other members of the sect saw this, wouldn't she be sent to be burned at the stake?

Yang Guo didn't look like a beautiful woman who was burned black.

"Ying'er, right now you're only doing two things."

"First, be wary of that Dharma Protector."

"Secondly, we need to find a way to control the divine runes."

"Ying'er, just as I said, not all the members are like you. If other members find out that you have fallen in love, I'm afraid there will be endless problems. We still need to control ourselves until we are ready."

Liuli Ying felt a little wronged. This was not something she could control. She had believed in him all her life, and upon seeing him again, she naturally couldn't control herself and became restless.
