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

Deep within the Kunlun Mountains, in a secluded valley rarely visited by the world, lies a paradise no less beautiful than Peach Blossom Island.

It was early autumn, but the entire valley was covered with bright pink and white peach blossoms. Thousands of trees were covered with layers of pink and white peach blossoms, and the branches intertwined like clouds and rosy clouds. The warm wind passed through the forest, and the petals fell and fluttered. The petals danced lightly in the air and spread a beautiful tapestry on the ground. The fragrant flowers permeated every inch of the air.

A clear stream meanders down from the melting snow of the Kunlun Mountains. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and the round, white pebbles on the bottom sway gently with the flowing water, creating a crisp and melodious sound that forms a natural symphony.

Midway through the stream, a deep, emerald pool appears, its water as warm and smooth as jade, its color like amber, its depths unfathomable. Ancient trees reach for the sky along its banks, vines entwine the rocks, and moss covers the stones. A light mist perpetually swirls around the pool, lending the entire valley an ethereal and otherworldly beauty, untouched by the dust of the world. Among the trees and cliffs of the valley, groups of agile monkeys roam freely, climbing branches to pick flowers or playing in the stream. Their movements are nimble and graceful, and they remain undisturbed by strangers, simply perching on branches, blinking their clear eyes, quietly observing. The tranquil valley is teeming with life.

This secluded valley in Kunlun is where Jiangnan, Huang Rong, and Xiaolongnu now live in seclusion and practice martial arts.

The three men's martial arts foundation was already different from other styles in the martial arts world, forming a unique system of their own.

Xiaolongnu was adopted by Jiangnan when she was an infant and grew up by his side. She never entered the Quanzhen School of Zhongnan Mountain, but she learned the purest and most authentic Quanzhen internal skills.

In addition, Xiaolongnu inherited all her martial arts skills from Jiangnan. She was proficient in the basic Heavenly Net Palm Technique of Peach Blossom Island, and she also mastered the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique, which was integrated and optimized by Jiangnan, to a state of perfection. Her martial arts were elegant and otherworldly, agile and unparalleled, and she was surrounded by a cool and otherworldly fairy aura.

Huang Rong's martial arts style was even more unique and exquisite. From a young age, she was proficient in the entire set of Peach Blossom Island's family martial arts, mastering the Finger Flicking Skill, the Falling Flower Sword Technique, and the Free and Easy Movement Technique, all with unparalleled solid foundation. Later, she followed Jiangnan to cultivate, abandoning the shortcomings of Peach Blossom Island's martial arts, which tended to be more unpredictable and agile, and devoted herself to practicing the improved version of Quanzhen internal energy taught by Jiangnan, which combined strength and gentleness, resulting in a long and mellow internal force.

What's even more unique is that Huang Rong didn't learn the orthodox martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Her Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay and Heavenly Net Formation were both taught to her separately by Jiangnan, combining the essence of Peach Blossom Island martial arts and the principles of the Quanzhen School. The moves retain the original style's spirit, but the sword and palm techniques incorporate the graceful, agile, and unpredictable nature of Peach Blossom Island, completely different from Xiaolongnu's orthodox and pure swordplay. One is skillful, the other is pure and refined; they share the same origin but follow different paths, each with its own merits.

Jiangnan himself has absorbed the strengths of many schools of martial arts, integrated them into his own style, and reached the pinnacle of martial arts. He created his own martial arts and his own system of martial arts evolution, which has long since broken free from the constraints of various schools and sects. He is unique and is the most reliable guide and sparring partner for the two.

As the morning light pierced through the layers of peach tree branches, dappled sunlight fell on the smooth blue stone training ground beside the emerald pool. The mist gradually dissipated, and the sky became clear and bright, making it the best time of day for training.

A cool mountain breeze swept through the forest in the early morning, scattering fallen petals. Little Dragon Girl, dressed in a pristine white gauze robe, stood on the north side of the stone platform. Her robes were as light as snow, spotless, and her jet-black hair was simply tied back with a wooden hairpin, a few strands fluttering in the wind. Her face was serene and otherworldly, her eyes calm and serene. Years of quiet cultivation had shaped her clear and tranquil mind, her eyes as clear as a mountain pool, untouched by worldly concerns.

She stood gracefully with her back straight, shoulders slightly lowered, and hands hanging naturally at her sides. She slowly closed her eyes, cleared her mind of all distractions, and began to meditate and regulate her breathing.

The Quanzhen Xuanmen internal energy slowly circulated, originating from the dantian and flowing throughout the body's meridians. Unlike the powerful and upright Quanzhen internal energy, her internal energy was warm, long, ethereal, and gentle, flowing through the meridians without any stagnation, her aura stable and tranquil. While others practicing internal energy often exhibited fluctuations in their breath and slight movements, Xiaolongnu sat as still as a pine tree, her body perfectly still, only her clothes billowing slightly with the flow of her internal energy, and petals swirling slowly around her, neither dispersing nor falling, forming a very faint ring of floral mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

Before long, light footsteps came from the peach grove path on the south side. Huang Rong, dressed in a light yellow outfit, walked over with a graceful and agile figure.

The Huang Rong of today has long since shed the youthful exuberance and capriciousness of her early days, gaining instead a more composed and reserved demeanor. The agile and unpredictable martial arts of Peach Blossom Island are etched into her very being, and after practicing the Quanzhen internal energy transmitted from Jiangnan, her temperament has undergone a complete transformation, her elegance now tempered with composure, her intelligence tempered with restraint. She walked to the bluestone field, smiled slightly at the Little Dragon Girl who was meditating, and without disturbing her, found a spot on a bluestone to stand on, straightened her posture, concentrated her energy, and prepared to practice her skills.

Huang Rong's Quanzhen internal energy cultivation, modified by Jiangnan to suit the Peach Blossom Island style, made her internal energy more unrestrained, agile, and unpredictable. She concentrated for a moment, and her internal energy slowly rose from her dantian, flowing freely through her meridians at will. While ordinary Xuanmen internal energy cultivation emphasizes gradual progress and a balanced, moderate approach, her internal energy could be both strong and gentle, fast and slow, agile and ever-changing, perfectly matching her quick-witted and adaptable nature and the style of Peach Blossom Island martial arts.

Two streams of Xuanmen energy, though of the same origin, were different in nature. One was still and pure, the other was lively and dynamic; one was steady and enduring, the other was unpredictable and ever-changing. They flowed quietly across the empty bluestone training ground, echoing each other, drawing each other in, and slowly merging and intertwining.

A moment later, the two figures opened their eyes almost simultaneously, finished their practice, and stood up.

Xiaolongnu's eyes were clear and calm, her breath even and long, and her body was surrounded by a gentle and ethereal aura; Huang Rong's eyes were bright and clear, her spirit was high, and her brows held a lively and sharp spirit. The two looked at each other and understood each other without saying a word.

After our morning routine of practice, the first thing we did was to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique together.

This sword technique emphasizes the connection of minds, the harmony of yin and yang, and the complementarity of strength and gentleness. The improved version from Jiangnan abandons the original version's constraints of romantic entanglements and elevates it to the realm of yin and yang, and the interplay of reality and illusion. It is more suitable for fellow practitioners and close friends to train together. The moves are elegant and unparalleled, with endless variations, combining offense and defense, and are far more exquisite than the original.

Little Dragon Girl stepped forward slowly, raised her hand and grasped the white-handled longsword at her waist. The sword was simple and unadorned, white as jade, and light as a feather. She slightly turned her wrist, and a clear "clang" rang out. The longsword was drawn half an inch from its sheath, and a clear sword aura burst out. The falling flowers around her suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Before she moved, she began with a stance, the opening technique of the Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Sword, "Jade Dew First Condensation." Her arms stretched out, her figure flowing gently, like a jade maiden standing in the moonlight. Her sword gestures were a mix of real and feints, the sword tips trembling slightly, drawing two smooth, rounded arcs of light. Neither attacking nor wielding, it was righteous and peaceful, her inner energy flowing steadily throughout her body, fully displaying the pure and refined essence of Xuanmen martial arts.

On the other side, Huang Rong also drew her longsword, its blade thin and sharp, its surface gleaming. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay she had learned, modified by Jiangnan incorporating the Fallen Flower Divine Sword and the strange transformations of Peach Blossom Island, had a starting stance completely different from that of Little Dragon Girl.

Huang Rong shifted slightly to the side, her waist twisting gracefully, her movements as nimble as a butterfly. She executed the unique footwork of Peach Blossom Island, her movements unpredictable and elusive. With her longsword in hand, she lightly touched the ground with the tip, deftly flicking away several falling peach petals. Her wrist flicked, the sword flashing and swirling, a fluid and unpredictable display of power.

They share the same origin but possess different charms.

Xiaolongnu's swordplay is clear, upright, pure, and serene. Her swordplay is like water falling into a clear stream, continuous and steady, with impeccable defense and gentle yet concealed offense, without a trace of haste or sharpness, fully displaying the ethereal charm of a pure and innocent maiden. Huang Rong's swordplay is agile, skillful, changeable, and wondrous. Her swordplay is like falling petals, ever-changing with the wind, unpredictable, swift in both offense and defense, and her moves conceal the ingenious and exquisite martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, agile and unpredictable, and full of surprises.

Two sword lights, one plain and one vibrant, one still and one moving, slowly unfolded on the bluestone field bathed in the morning light, echoing and harmonizing with each other.

At first, the two practiced individual moves separately, gradually progressing and testing their coordination.

Xiaolongnu unleashed "Pure Heart Gazing at the Moon," her figure gracefully sweeping away, her longsword slashing diagonally, the sword light like a new moon hanging in the sky, the sword's momentum flowing and long, warm and pure, defense concealing offense, her posture elegant and otherworldly, every move steady and solid, her breath not disturbed in the slightest; Huang Rong immediately countered, unleashing the improved "Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon," her footwork suddenly changing, her figure elusive, her longsword flying crisscrossing, the sword light layered and intertwined, like peach blossoms dancing in the sky, illusion and reality intertwined, seemingly gentle and graceful, but in reality every move precise, the attack dense and fierce.

One upholds righteousness and consolidates the foundation, while the other achieves victory through unconventional means; one remains still and profound, while the other is agile and ever-changing. Their sword techniques share the same origin, one being gentle and pure, the other agile and ingenious, complementing each other's yin and yang, movement and stillness, perfectly embodying the supreme essence of the Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Sword Technique.

When they practiced to a high level, their minds were completely in sync. They didn't need to exchange glances or words; their movements, attacks, and defenses were perfectly synchronized.

Xiaolongnu unleashed a sword strike called "Clouds Roll and Jade Unfurls," her longsword sweeping across the air, its light unfolding like rolling clouds, a dense defensive stance enveloping her entire body without a single flaw, steadily protecting the vital points around both of them; Huang Rong suddenly closed in, using the momentum to weave in and out, her longsword thrusting forward with a move called "Falling Petals Breaking the Mist," the sword light fragmented and agile, tearing through the void layer by layer, precisely targeting the connection point of the moves, the illusion and reality shifting, the attack agile and fierce.

One defends, one attacks; one is steady, one is swift; their coordination is seamless.

Xiaolongnu's figure moved gracefully, her white clothes fluttering, her steps steady, her swordplay continuous, like a green mountain standing firm and a flowing river never ceasing, firmly supporting the rhythm of the whole game; Huang Rong's figure was unpredictable, her yellow clothes fluttering, her steps agile, her sword moves ever-changing, like flying flowers dancing and a swift wind shuttling, constantly changing the angle of attack to make up for the flaws in her moves.

Amidst the clashing sword lights, two streaks of light, blue and white, intertwined and swirled. The countless peach blossom petals that filled the sky were swept up by the sharp sword energy, rapidly swirling and swirling around the two figures. When the petals touched the fine sword energy, they were all sliced ​​in mid-air, turning into tiny flower petals that drifted away with the wind, both beautiful and fierce.

The apes in the forest had long since stopped frolicking and were now perched on branches by the cliff, their bright eyes fixed on the scene. They seemed to be captivated by the exquisite sword dance, remaining completely silent for fear of disturbing this celestial sword spectacle.

The two practiced dozens of moves together, and their skills became more and more refined and coordinated. Their movements were fluid and seamless.

In ordinary martial arts worlds, when two people practice swordsmanship together, there is often a distinction between primary and secondary roles, as well as differences in offense and defense. This inevitably leads to stiff moves and awkward transitions. However, Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong, though from the same source, follow different paths and complement each other. Xiaolongnu's pure sword momentum can stabilize the foundation and maintain the rhythm, while Huang Rong's agile and varied moves can break through the situation and generate new ideas. The fusion of the two adds countless new variations to the already exquisite Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay. It combines strength and gentleness, illusion and reality, and its power is multiplied, far exceeding the realm of solo practice or ordinary two-person collaboration.

At the height of their practice, the two simultaneously spun around and shifted their positions, their bodies suddenly intersecting and changing places.

Xiaolongnu leaped lightly, her figure as light as a feather, flipping once in mid-air, her white robes flowing like clouds. Her longsword slashed diagonally downwards, its sword aura clear and steady, carrying the rich and enduring power of Quanzhen internal energy. Her move, "Frosty Jade," was a refined and clear sword aura, with a faint chill permeating the air, firmly suppressing the entire situation. Huang Rong followed closely behind, her footwork suddenly accelerating, her body skimming along the ground, spinning and leaping into the air. Her longsword slashed horizontally, the sword light fragmented and dense, layer upon layer. Her move, "Peach Blossom Reflecting Snow," was a nimble sword aura meeting the clear sword wind, the collision of strength and softness, the fusion of reality and illusion, the two ultimate sword lights colliding with a thunderous roar.

"Zheng—!"

A clear and long sword cry resounded through the valley, echoing through the woods, its lingering sound lingering for a long time.

The two sword lights merged into one in an instant, the interwoven blue and white sword energy transforming into a perfectly round and lustrous arc of light that suddenly spread outwards. The surrounding peach blossoms were all swept away by the sword energy, the clear stream surface rippled with layers of fine waves, the breeze in the forest suddenly shifted, and the atmosphere of the entire valley moved with the sword's momentum, ethereal and vast, with boundless implications.

The two finished their stance mid-air and landed steadily at the same time, their postures upright, their breathing even and long, without the slightest disorder, only a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads, their expressions calm and composed.

Xiaolongnu stood with her sword hanging down, her eyes clear and serene, surrounded by an ethereal aura. Her simple white clothes were spotless, and she was as still as jade under the moon. Huang Rong sheathed her sword, a faint smile on her lips. Her eyes were bright and lively, her sharpness was restrained, and her figure was graceful and elegant, like a blooming peach blossom.

The two streams of Xuanmen energy, sharing the same origin, slowly merged once more, returning to peace, tranquility, and serenity.

Just then, a figure in a green robe slowly emerged from the depths of the peach grove; it was Jiangnan.

He stood amidst the falling petals in the woods, quietly watching the two practice together. His gaze was gentle and peaceful, with a hint of approval in his eyes. Over the years, he had meticulously trained the two in martial arts, tailoring his instruction to their individual aptitudes and refining their techniques according to their temperament and foundation. He had enabled the two martial arts practitioners, sharing the same origin, to develop two ultimate realms of understanding. Now, their swordplay was perfectly integrated and complementary, displaying seamless harmony. They had truly mastered the Yin-Yang essence of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay.

Jiang Nan slowly walked out of the woods and arrived at the center of the bluestone training ground. Looking at the two stunningly beautiful women before him, he softly commented, his voice gentle and clear, echoing through the valley: "Long Mei's swordsmanship is pure and steady, her inner energy is long and clear, her defense is perfect and flawless, and her sword intent is pure and ethereal. She has already mastered the true essence of the improved swordsmanship. The only shortcoming is that her moves are too orthodox and lack some flexibility and sharpness. Rong'er's swordsmanship is agile and ever-changing, with one unexpected move after another. She is swift in advance and retreat and attacks and defends at will, fully grasping the essence of Peach Blossom Island's martial arts. However, her swordsmanship is a bit too skillful, her foundation is slightly lacking, and her defensive skills are a little weak."

Upon hearing this, both of them humbly nodded and listened quietly to the teachings, without the slightest hint of arrogance.

Having received instruction day and night over the years, they have long been accustomed to the individualized guidance and instruction of Jiangnan, and know that every comment accurately hits the weak points in their martial arts, which is the key to their improvement and breakthrough.

Jiang Nan raised his hand in a gesture of invitation and continued, "The core of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique is not the bond between two people, but rather the harmony of Yin and Yang, the complementarity of emptiness and fullness, and the interplay of movement and stillness. Long Mei represents Yin, stillness, and righteousness, while Rong'er represents Yang, movement, and surprise. The two of you share the same origin but follow different paths, one stable and the other adaptable, making you the perfect sword pairing. Just now, when you joined your swords, you had already begun to achieve the harmony of Yin and Yang, but there were still slight hesitations in the transitions between moves, and the speed of attack and defense shifts was slightly uneven, failing to achieve a seamless and effortless execution."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nan raised his hand and drew his long sword. Dressed in a simple blue robe, his figure was upright and jade-like. He stood between the two of them and said calmly, "I will practice with you once. The three of us will combine our swords to complete the balance of Yin and Yang and break through the barriers between our techniques."

Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong's eyes lit up. They immediately focused their minds, drew their swords, and stood on either side, ready to practice together.

The three people's positions form a mysterious universe, implicitly containing the principles of Yin and Yang and the Three Powers.

Jiangnan stands in the center, representing the balance of heaven and earth, the pivotal core, connecting the past and the future, and harmonizing yin and yang; Xiaolongnu stands on the left, representing stillness, defense, and yin, stabilizing the foundation; Huang Rong stands on the right, representing initiative, offense, and agility, breaking the deadlock and creating change.

The morning light bathed the three of them, their blue, white, and yellow robes shimmering amidst the falling peach blossoms. Their tall, upright figures stood tall and graceful amidst the green hills and clear waters, their extraordinary bearing and demeanor creating a breathtaking martial arts scene.

With a soft "Start the stance" from Jiangnan.

Three longswords were drawn simultaneously, their clear, melodious sounds echoing through the valley.

The three of them started simultaneously, unleashing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique.

Jiangnan, positioned in the center, wields a sword with a balanced and all-encompassing style, neither biased nor hasty. His martial arts have integrated various schools of thought, transcending the constraints of any particular sect, and every movement embodies the natural principles of the universe. His swordplay is unhurried and unrestrained, with effortless control and a harmonious interplay of feints and real attacks. He can both withstand Xiaolongnu's aloof defense and accommodate Huang Rong's agile offense, using his upright sword intent to harmonize the two distinct sword styles on the left and right, firmly linking the three characters' moves into a unified whole.

On the left, Xiaolongnu maintained her pure and elegant swordsmanship. Her white robes fluttered, and her sword light shone like water. Her moves were continuous, steady, and restrained. Layer upon layer of defensive stances solidified the foundation of the entire battle, and her warm inner energy slowly spread out, protecting the three of them from any weaknesses. On the right, Huang Rong's yellow robes fluttered, and her sword light was dazzling and agile. Her moves were ever-changing, swift, and fierce. She always took the lead and made unexpected moves, constantly generating new variations, breaking through the shackles of the void, and supplementing the offensive edge.

The three sword techniques flowed smoothly, progressing layer by layer and interlocking in a series of interconnected moves.

Jiangnan's "Return of All Things to Their Origin" – a longsword held horizontally in mid-air, its light stretching far and wide, like a calm lake reflecting the moon, or mountains and rivers unfolding, steadily stabilizing the rhythm of the entire scene, harmonizing two distinct sword intents, perfectly connecting the stillness and movement, the orthodox and the unorthodox, eliminating all subtle stagnation; Xiaolongnu followed up with "Jade Water Flowing Forever," her longsword weaving gracefully, its momentum continuous and endless, like a babbling brook, its defense meticulous and flawless, completely covering any openings; Huang Rong then spun in mid-air, unleashing "Ten Thousand Flying Flowers," her sword light scattering and falling in a flurry, her attacks layered and penetrating, agile and unpredictable.

One move leads to a hundred, a thousand variations, all perfectly natural.

The three moved in unison, rising and falling in unison, their minds in sync and their moves in perfect harmony.

Jiangnan, acting as the central coordinator, maintained balance and neutralized the disparity in the two fighters' moves, perfectly harmonizing speed, softness, and unorthodox techniques; Xiaolongnu remained calm and focused, stabilizing the foundation of her swordplay, ensuring that her agile moves were not lacking in composure; Huang Rong cleverly broke through the impasse, expanding the variations in her swordplay, ensuring that her composed swordplay was not lacking in sharpness.

The Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique, originally a two-person collaboration, was completely sublimated and transformed under the joint practice of the three, giving rise to an unprecedentedly vast artistic conception.

On the bluestone field, three sword lights crisscrossed and swirled, their blue, white, and yellow hues intertwining and flowing, dense and continuous. A flurry of peach blossoms, swept up by the vast sword energy, spun rapidly around the three figures, forming a huge pink and white mist that enveloped them. The flowers danced with the swords, the swords moved with their hearts, a perfect harmony of movement and stillness, strength and gentleness.

At times, the swordplay was calm and still, the three figures standing as steady as mountains, the sword light restrained and gentle, the falling petals fluttering softly, the valley quiet and peaceful, with only the faint sound of sword wind, still waters running deep, concealing sharpness; at other times, the swordplay was agile, the three figures suddenly shuttling, rising and falling, the sword light sharp and intersecting, the sword energy surging and turbulent, the wind howling, the petals falling, the entire secluded valley rising and falling with the swordplay, agile and vast, with ever-changing scenery.

The ape climbs the branch and gazes quietly, the stream murmurs and sings in harmony, and the breeze rustles through the forest as accompaniment. The mountains and rivers, flowers, birds and grasses all become the scene of the three practicing swordsmanship. The harmony between man and nature is the ultimate artistic conception.

Jiangnan swordplay is fluid and controlled, with each move precisely connecting the gaps between the two women's techniques, filling in gaps, and harmonizing yin and yang. This allows Xiaolongnu's composure and Huang Rong's agility to completely merge into one, becoming inseparable and perfectly integrated.

Xiaolongnu's figure is graceful and ethereal, her white clothes fluttering in the wind. Her swordplay is pure and clear, continuous and steady, providing a solid foundation for the entire sword technique. Huang Rong's figure is agile and nimble, her yellow clothes swirling and flowing. Her sword moves are ever-changing and full of surprises. She attacks skillfully and changes quickly, bringing new ideas to the entire sword technique.

The three advanced and retreated together, defended and attacked together. After a thousand moves, there was not a trace of confusion or stagnation. Their breaths remained long, abundant, and as steady as ever.

The original romantic sentiment of the Twin Jade Maiden Swordplay has completely faded away, transforming into the supreme martial arts path of yin and yang, movement and stillness, reality and illusion, and constant change. Its defense is as solid as a mountain, impenetrable; its offense is as swift as a falling petal, penetrating everywhere; and its transformations are as endless as a flowing river of stars. The power and artistic conception of the entire swordplay have been brought to their fullest potential by the three of them.

When the final move was completed, the three of them spun around and stood still at the same time, their three long swords returning to their sheaths. Their movements were neat, uniform, and swift.

The lingering echo of a sword's cry dissipated in the wind, and the falling petals drifted slowly down. The surging sword energy was completely absorbed into the body's meridians, and the restless sounds of wind and water returned to tranquility.

The three stood on the bluestone field, their breaths even, long, calm and peaceful. The Xuanmen auras of the same origin slowly merged and flowed around them, becoming one and inseparable.

The morning light was just right, the air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, a clear stream murmured, and monkeys called softly.

In the secluded valley of Kunlun, after this joint training by the three, the improved Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique has been completely mastered. It combines yin and yang, hardness and softness, and movement and stillness. A brand-new supreme sword path that transcends sects and breaks through constraints has truly taken shape and reached perfection through the three's daily practice and dedication.
