Starting from the world of martial arts in the Condor Heroes, practicing martial arts across the hea

For thousands of years, the Kunlun Mountains have stood on the earth, guarding the Central Plains like a giant.

The peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, covered in ice and snow, with bare rocks, yet they stand majestic and imposing like an ancient giant.

At night, the stars hang low, the darkness is bright, and the Kunlun Mountains seem like a giant carrying the starry sky on his shoulders.

The biting cold wind blew in gusts, yet it couldn't penetrate the body of Jiangnan in the slightest.

Jiangnan now possesses a profound and refined internal energy, making him impervious to heat and cold.

However, he still wore a cotton-padded coat, a habit he had as an ordinary person and couldn't easily break.

Of course, he didn't want to change it either.

This serves as a reminder to himself that he is still a mortal, not some superman, and that he still needs to eat beef, so as not to forget the feeling of being human in his previous life.

For several days, Jiang Nan parked his RV in a sheltered mountain forest, and then used his lightness skill to search for the ruins of Lingjiu Palace and the hidden valley on the nearby hills.

Day after day, Jiangnan used his RV as a base, his figure traversing the surrounding mountains, traversing dangerous peaks and secluded valleys, patiently searching for the ruins and valleys hidden in the Kunlun Mountains' sea of ​​clouds and snow.

When Jiangnan used his lightness skill, he recalled when he first learned it, running and leaping freely in the mountains and forests, using the grass and leaves to move around.

Humans have always longed for flight, something that allows us to escape Earth's gravity. While light-footed kung fu is not flight, it is already the first step in overcoming gravity.

When Jiangnan left the Quanzhen Sect, he bought two martial arts manuals at the martial arts school. One of them was a basic light-body skill called "Flying on Grass".

This lightness skill is not profound; it is quite rudimentary. Among the myriad lightness skills in the martial arts world, it can be considered the most basic and inconspicuous introductory method.

It lacks the ethereal grace of top-tier movement techniques, as well as the unpredictable and elusive nature of unpredictable movements; it merely employs the most basic internal energy manipulation, light breathing, and agile footwork.

But it opened the door to light-footed kung fu in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan has never underestimated this rudimentary light-body skill.

He knew that a tall building rises from the ground, and all kinds of light-body skills in the world, though different in their paths, ultimately rely on the breathing and energy transfer, as well as the foundation of the waist and legs, to achieve the feat of flying on grass.

All the exquisite lightness skills in the martial arts world, regardless of their grade or style, can be adapted to the power transfer techniques of flying over grass.

In other words, this rudimentary martial art that everyone can learn and practice is the absolute foundation of the entire martial arts system.

Although it is rudimentary, it is absolutely without errors or omissions.

That was enough at the time.

Before learning light-body skills, Jiangnan's impression of them was that in movies from his previous life, Shaolin Temple disciples would carry water to train, and over time they would be able to walk swiftly on mountain paths, leap freely, and scale walls.

After learning how to fly on grass, Jiangnan realized that the lightness skills in the world of Condor Heroes were mostly due to internal energy.

The stronger one's internal strength, the lighter one's body becomes; the better one's internal strength circulation skills, the less weight one carries; the rest are all about using the waist and abdomen, and the legs and feet to exert force.

Jiangnan's internal strength is now very strong. He circulates his internal energy according to the Golden Goose Skill, and his body is as light as a piece of paper. His technique of stepping upwards in the air allows him to breathe in the air and use the air to gain momentum.

  

By circulating internal energy in a net-like manner, one can not only move lightly but also change direction swiftly.

Jiangnan had a deep impression of the day he first transmigrated. He didn't care much about his disheveled state at the time; as long as he was alive, that was enough.

But walking that far barefoot was truly a torment for a modern person like Jiangnan.

Therefore, with sufficient internal energy and having collected some top-tier lightness skill techniques as samples, coupled with Jiangnan's intelligence and the small help from the proficiency panel, he is now thinking about creating his own technique.

Create a light-body technique that allows one to wrap their feet with internal energy.

To let go of the obsession in one's heart.

After all, martial arts are not something so inconvenient!

Moreover, there were figures who served as references for the creation of this skill.

Hmm... The person I referenced is Wanwan from "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," who walks barefoot across the world, her feet delicate and untouched by dust.

There is also the deity Barefoot Immortal, but the Barefoot Immortal has a very high status and is too far away.

Wanwan's martial arts skills are closer to those in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

This kind of lightness skill is more of a technique than a martial art, but in order to get rid of his obsession, Jiangnan expanded it into a lightness skill based on the technique of using internal energy.

Jiangnan named this light-body skill "Luo Wa Gong".

The phrase is taken from Cao Zhi's "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River": "She walked lightly on the waves, her silk stockings raising dust."

When this technique is activated, internal energy is released from the acupoints on the feet, forming a protective cushion of true energy that adheres closely to the skin, resembling a silk stocking.

It combines the effects of Jin Yan Gong (a martial art) in raising qi and lightening the body, the "unpredictable movement, sometimes dangerous, sometimes safe; uncertain advance and retreat, sometimes going, sometimes returning" effect of the Tianluodiwang (a type of magic net), and the illusion of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation in the array.

Thanks to the intensive use of the skills in Kunlun Mountain these past few days, and the foundation laid by other max-level light skills, the proficiency of Luo Wa Gong was quickly maxed out!

The thought finally came to me!

Jiangnan hasn't looked at the proficiency panel in a long time.

When Jiang Nan first transmigrated and received a cheat system, he was so excited he almost jumped for joy. He could become a martial arts master, and an all-around one at that. Thinking about what else he could learn, what he could do, and what he could master, Jiang Nan felt that he could survive on his own in this strange world.

Later, as I learned more and acquired more max-level skills, I stopped constantly looking at the stats panel.

He gradually integrated into this world, and sometimes he even forgot about the proficiency panel.

Today, Jiangnan remembered the proficiency panel again.

"Check!"

Jiang Nan had collected a lot of martial arts techniques, but he mostly just looked at them. Especially Shaolin martial arts; Jiang Nan wasn't sure if there were any hidden dangers, so he simply used them as nourishment to broaden his horizons without practicing them.

As for skills, Jiangnan already possesses all the skills needed for daily life, so he takes a somewhat Buddhist approach, activating skills as they come, and leveling up the skills he needs when he can use them; for those he doesn't need, he just uses them depending on his mood.

One month, two months, three months... half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After half a year of wandering through the thousands of peaks and valleys and the frozen snowfields of the Kunlun Mountains, Jiangnan and his group finally discovered a deep valley embraced by mountains at the foot of a cliff.

Jiangnan couldn't be certain whether this valley was the one where Zhang Wuji encountered the white ape and obtained the Nine Yang Divine Skill a hundred years later. However, judging from the scenery before him, this place could indeed be called a paradise on earth.

The deep valley is surrounded by a ring of sheer cliffs, with the peaks of the Kunlun Mountains covered in snow all year round. Thousand-foot icicles hang upside down on the steep mountain walls like white jade curtains. The rock walls are smooth and rugged, with no place to climb or get a foothold, naturally isolating the inside from the outside.

In the middle is a verdant valley, a world unto itself, with mountains and water, lush vegetation, and birds and animals living freely, forming a complete and vibrant ecosystem.

The valley is filled with peach trees, their blossoms and petals forming a thick layer. Groups of monkeys frolic among the trees. For thousands of years, no outsiders have ever set foot here, and it remains peaceful and serene.

Jiangnan searched the valley briefly but found no large wild animals or poisonous insects or other dangers.

Jiang Nan then returned to the RV to tell Huang Rong and Xiao Longnv the good news.

Although Jiangnan had been searching for the Lingjiu Palace ruins for half a year without success, he wasn't discouraged. Kunlun is so vast; it's normal not to find them, finding them is just good luck.

Huang Rong was standing by the RV, gazing at the surrounding snow-capped peaks. She saw Jiang Nan returning from afar, much earlier than usual. Overjoyed, she darted into Jiang Nan's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

In the past six months, in order to resist the severe cold of Kunlun Mountain, Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu have greatly improved their internal energy cultivation. Now they can both circulate their internal energy in a cycle and resist the severe cold on their own.

Although he cannot yet be immune to heat and cold, he is already quite skilled and can easily resist the severe cold using his internal energy.

This was considered an unexpected surprise in Jiangnan's eyes.

Xiaolongnu has always been calm and composed. Without Jiangnan's prompting, she would diligently practice her skills. Huang Rong, on the other hand, is intelligent but finds it difficult to calm her mind. Now, with the help of external forces, her internal strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, making her six months of hard work and sleeping in the open in Kunlun Mountain worthwhile.

Perhaps Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying also cultivated in the same environment and learned about the benefits of severe cold for cultivating internal energy. That's why the Ancient Tomb Sect had that thousand-year-old ice bed, which was designed to help with internal energy cultivation.

While waiting for Jiangnan to search for the ruins of Lingjiu Palace in the Kunlun Mountains, the two women would either read books or practice their martial arts. When Huang Rong was bored, she would also ask Xiaolongnu to play chess. Xiaolongnu didn't mind at all and would always play chess with Huang Rong indifferently, not caring about winning or losing.

The two women are extremely talented. They have improved their lightness skills in the past six months. They have mastered the Heavenly Net Style and even the Luo Socks Style created by Jiangnan. They can now walk on snow without leaving a trace.

Huang Rong nestled in Jiang Nan's arms, gazing at him with curious eyes, and asked, "Brother Jiang Nan, why are you back so early today? Did you find the ruins of Lingjiu Palace?"

"We hadn't found it before! But today, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a paradise on earth!"

"The Peach Blossom Spring in 'The Peach Blossom Spring Story'? A paradise on earth?"

At this moment, Xiaolongnu also looked over, her eyes shining brightly as she gazed at Jiangnan.

"Yes! It's that Peach Blossom Spring, but no one else lives there!"

"Come on, I'll take you to see that valley."

"The climate there is warm, and it's not an ordinary place. There should be some spiritual fruits and fish that can help improve one's internal strength."

"Great! Brother Nan, Long'er, let's go quickly. I also want to see if this Peach Blossom Spring can compare to the scenery of Peach Blossom Island."

Jiang Nan led the way, and Huang Rong and Xiao Longnv followed closely behind him using their lightness skills. In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a cliff and descended into the deep valley using a rope.

Upon entering the valley, the warm and gentle breeze instantly dispelled the lingering chill, a stark contrast to the frigid, icy landscape outside the cliffs.

Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu immediately took off their heavy winter coats and put on light and comfortable clothes, running and playing freely on the soft green grass.

For more than half a year, the three of them spent their days in the frigid snowfield, constantly surrounded by ice and snow, their bodies enveloped in the biting cold, their minds tense to resist the low temperatures.

Stepping into this valley where the grass and trees are evergreen and the warm breeze caresses your face, you feel as if your whole body is relaxed and your bones are stretched.

The grass underfoot was soft and fluffy, and wildflowers of all colors bloomed across the hillsides, their delicate fragrance carried on the breeze. A clear stream babbled and meandered gently around the peach orchards. Fruit hung heavy on the branches, its sweet aroma filling the air. Groups of monkeys remained undisturbed by strangers, merely perching among the branches and peering out. Wild goats grazed peacefully on the grass, creating a scene of serene vitality.

Huang Rong strolled through the peach grove, catching a few falling pink and white peach blossoms. Looking around at the frozen cliffs all around, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Truly wondrous! Outside, thousands of miles are frozen and not a blade of grass can grow, yet inside the valley, it is spring all year round. I have never seen such a wonder of nature in the more than ten years I have lived on Peach Blossom Island."

Little Dragon Girl stood quietly by the clear stream, her fingertips lightly touching the cool spring water, her eyes gentle: "This place is rich in spiritual energy. Meditating and cultivating here will definitely be twice as effective, far surpassing the outside world."

Jiangnan walked slowly to the two of them and looked around the entire verdant valley.

The towering ice peaks, thousands of feet high, stand majestically on all sides, firmly protecting this place in the center and isolating it from all external disturbances. For thousands of years, no one has set foot here, and the spiritual energy gathers and never dissipates, nourishing all plants, trees, birds, and beasts.

He thought to himself, no wonder that decades later, when Zhang Wuji fell into this place, he was able to stabilize his Xuanming Cold Poison by relying solely on the spiritual energy of the valley, and live in seclusion here peacefully for five years.

Huang Rong turned to look at Jiang Nan, her eyes full of anticipation: "Brother Nan, you just said there are spiritual fruits and fish in the valley. How about we go find them and try them? If they have excellent effects, we can make them into delicious dishes in the future, which will make them even more effective."

Little Dragon Girl nodded slightly in agreement, a hint of expectation appearing on her usually aloof face.

Jiang Nan chuckled softly, raising his hand to brush away the peach petals that had fallen into her hair: "No rush. First, follow me to explore every part of the valley, find out the distribution of caves, water sources, and orchards, identify whether the plants are poisonous, and only after confirming that it is completely safe can we rest and cultivate here in peace. The Kunlun Secret Realm is rare, and since we have the opportunity to find it, we cannot act rashly."

After saying that, Jiangnan took the lead and walked forward along the stream bank, with Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu following on the left and right respectively.

The three walked through the lush peach grove, listening to the melodious chirping of birds in the forest. The grass under their feet was slightly cool with morning dew, and when they looked up, they saw the spectacular scenery of snow-capped cliffs and green forests in the valley.

The fatigue from six months of traveling and searching vanished completely in this secluded paradise.

The disappointment of not being able to find the Lingjiu Palace ruins had long been forgotten. Finding this blessed place for cultivation was an unexpected bonus.

Huang Rong walked along, stopping frequently. Sometimes she would pick a ripe fruit and hand it to Xiaolongnu, and sometimes she would stop to watch the monkeys playing in the forest, chattering and comparing the scenery of Peach Blossom Island with that of Jiangnan.

Although Xiaolongnu didn't say much, her eyes were filled with joy.

The valley is open and deep, with several tributaries of clear springs nourishing the entire valley. At the foot of the mountain are several dry and sheltered natural stone caves, clean and spacious, just the right place to settle down and meditate.

Jiang Nan memorized the locations one by one, having already made a plan in his mind: in the future, when he goes out to search for clues about Lingjiu Palace, he can bring the two girls to the valley to stay and cultivate. They can use the warm spiritual energy in the valley to harmonize the internal energy honed in the harsh environment. With the internal and external complementing each other, Rong'er and Long'er's internal energy cultivation will surely reach another peak.
