Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Chapter 543 Mastery of Martial Arts

After enjoying a few days of leisure surrounded by beautiful women, Chung Kwok-hung sailed away.

The people on the shore were all astonished to see the waves rippled beneath his feet and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

The officials and businessmen who were about to take further drastic measures against Wang Zhenyuan immediately fell silent and backed down.

Only the most skilled masters who have reached the Innate Realm can ride the waves from Mandala Manor.

In less than three days, the name "Knife King Zhong Guohong is the strongest person in the world" had spread throughout Jiangnan.

At this moment, he was on his way to Bright Summit.

The wonder of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is similar to the Shift of Stars and the Tai Chi Chuan.

If it were also incorporated into the art of time manipulation, its ability to borrow and deflect force would surely reach new heights.

As dusk approached, Zhong Guohong found a nearby deserted temple to rest.

Sitting alone in the lamplight, memories of past lives, and even the life before that... the events of my first life involuntarily surface in my mind.

After chewing a few pieces of braised beef he had bought at noon, he tilted his head back and gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor.

Bored out of his mind, he quietly activated his divine sense and probed into the depths of the treasure basin.

"The diameter of the replicated Milky Way galaxy has increased dramatically from over three million light-years to over three hundred billion light-years?"

After calculating silently for a long time, he suddenly realized that the 359 missing miniature universes had all been swallowed up by the treasure basin.

"That enormous replica spaceship still floats quietly inside the treasure basin."

After his divine sense entered the Innate Realm, he could clearly perceive the tremors of every grain of dust within a thousand meters; but once he crossed the boundary, his flesh and blood would feel as if they were being cut by a knife. Yet this divine sense could calmly navigate between the cosmic ship and the replicated Milky Way within the Treasure Basin, without suffering any damage.

"Only when you're physically weak can you truly appreciate the feeling of being tired, cold, and in pain."

He simply stopped training his physique and curled up in the straw pile of the dilapidated temple to sleep for the night.

Around 3 p.m. that afternoon, he set foot on Bright Summit.

After lying in wait on the mountaintop for several days, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth had been quietly acquired.

The current leader of the Ming Cult has reached the late stage of the Acquired Realm in cultivation—stronger than Murong Fu, but weaker than Qiao Feng.

Zhong Guohong had already firmly established himself in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. With his aura concealed and his form hidden, his opponent couldn't even detect the wind that brushed past the hem of his clothes.

"Now that I've acquired the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, it's time to go to the Beggars' Sect."

In less than a day, the skill had reached the sixth level.

Based on years of experience in martial arts, and with a little deduction, the sixth level naturally extends to the ninth level.

After mastering the ninth level, he incorporated it all into the Timeless Fist Technique.

He infiltrated the Beggars' Sect headquarters, spending more than half a month there, and finally acquired the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dragon-Capturing Skill.

"The Dragon-Capturing Skill and the Crane-Controlling Skill are equally renowned, both being top-tier techniques for retrieving objects from a distance."

Among the secret scriptures of the Free and Unfettered Sect lies the Crane Control Skill, which has resounded throughout the martial arts world.

Chung Kwok-hung had long since mastered the Crane Control Technique to the point of being able to use it at will; now that he had encountered the Dragon Capture Technique, he immediately disassembled and relearned it.

Compared to the vast array of martial arts techniques in his mind, the Dragon Capture and Crane Control techniques were but a drop in the ocean.

However, there are many aspects of their skillful application of force and subtle guidance of qi that he should carefully consider and repeatedly examine.

"Let's combine the techniques of capturing dragons and controlling cranes into one, and call it the 'Dragon-Capturing and Crane-Controlling Skill'."

He lightly touched the treetops with his feet, his body as light as a feather, and gracefully disappeared into the deep mountains and dense forests.

After demonstrating a few moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, ancient trees within a hundred paces were cracked, mud and rocks surged, and the scene was a complete mess.

His spirits lifted, and he strode off toward the Shaolin Temple.

In the stillness of the night, he changed into a gray cloth jacket and quietly slipped into the library.

With eyes as bright as day in the darkness, it took more than an hour to finally find the Lankavatara Sutra.

"The Nine Yang Divine Skill predates even the era of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'?"

After memorizing the entire text, he quietly climbed the stairs.

Ignoring Murong Bo, who was reading by the window, and without disturbing him in the slightest, she quietly perused one dusty secret book after another.

The Shaolin Kung Fu techniques previously replicated on Earth were far less complete than those found here.

He had never seen or practiced many of the unique martial arts techniques in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion in the world of Tianlong.

Not long after Murong Bo left, Xiao Yuanshan pushed open the door and entered.

Zhong Guohong was extremely well hidden—Murong Bo was unaware, Xiao Yuanshan was oblivious, and even the sweeping monk was completely unaware that there was an extra person in the pavilion.

The Sweeping Monk's aura was well-concealed, and his cultivation at the early stage of the Innate Realm was completely undisguised in Zhong Guohong's eyes.

This person's cultivation level is exactly the same as that of Wuyazi, who was idle for decades, both belonging to the early stage of the Innate Realm.

Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui had already firmly established themselves in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

Back when they studied the Yin-Yang True Scripture together with Li Canghai, both of them broke through from the early stage of the Innate Realm and entered the middle stage.

Regardless of whether his current cultivation level is on par with the Sweeping Monk, even if he is slightly inferior, with his deliberate concealment, it would be difficult for the other party to spot him.

In two days, he read through all the martial arts manuals in the library, closed the book, let out a long sigh, and quietly left.

"After one more trip to the palace, we can call it a day and head back."

Although the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, the imperial family's secret collection was never meager.

Take, for example, the Taizu Changquan (Emperor Taizu's Long Fist), which spread throughout the world. It was created by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin himself.

Even Qiao Feng knew this punch, which shows that it was of great significance.

If this fist technique were truly as useless as people say, why would Shaolin Xuanku personally teach it to Qiao Feng?

Within the Song Dynasty, there were at least two or three hundred thousand people who practiced Taizu Changquan (Emperor Taizu's Long Fist).

The following night, Chung Kwok-hung sneaked into the inner palace gardens.

"There are actually two experts at the early stage of the Innate Realm hidden in the palace."

Only then did he truly understand why the leader of the Ming Cult had hesitated to assassinate the emperor.

Since its introduction to the Central Plains, this school has specialized in cooking and can be considered the leader in the field of culinary arts.

The emperor is safe and sound so far, mainly because there are top-notch masters in the palace.

The world-renowned Shaolin Temple has only one sweeping monk who has reached the early stage of the Innate Realm.

Unexpectedly, two powerful individuals at the early stage of the Innate Realm were secretly lurking within the deep palace.

Zhong Guohong spent two days figuring out the location of the secret chamber within the palace.

He then spent three more days reading through all the martial arts classics in the book, leaving none out.

His spiritual cultivation was approaching the peak of the God King level. He could read books as if they were just passing through a book, and every word entered his heart and became imprinted after reading them.

He left the palace without disturbing a single person, his figure gliding over the palace wall like the wind passing through the treetops, quietly heading south.

In the eyes of the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, the Liao Dynasty, and the Tibetan Empire were all uncivilized states.

The roots of all martial arts in the world lie in the Central Plains, and very few techniques have been passed down in the border countries.

Having been away for a long time, Zhong Guohong was eager to return home and only wanted to hurry back to Mandala Manor.

During the day, the "Timeless Speed" technique is activated, and the true energy not only does not diminish but becomes increasingly abundant.

As night fell, he found a place to settle down and focused on refining the "Nine Yang Divine Skill".

On the day he returned to the mountain villa, his "Nine Yang Divine Skill" had reached its perfect state.

In the following days, he devoted himself to practicing the Yin-Yang True Scripture, feeling completely relaxed. He then proceeded to comprehend the remaining techniques he had acquired.

The Song Dynasty imperial palace possessed a vast collection of secret treasures, including tens of thousands of martial arts manuals and two cultivation classics.

Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce. Without the aid of the Treasure Basin, this kind of cultivation method cannot be practiced, but it still has extremely high research value.

After returning to the village, Zhong Guohong lived a simple life.

He practiced shooting at his leisure every day, meticulously studying each technique he had acquired.

Whenever he had free time, he would go to the Zhong family mansion in Suzhou to teach martial arts and answer questions for one hundred orphans.

The Western Xia and Liao dynasties repeatedly invaded the border, causing countless families to be destroyed and people to die.
