The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

As for Lianxing, she mostly followed her older sister, partly to imitate her and partly to enjoy the environment her sister created, which is why she cultivated to the eighth level.

Suddenly, when she could "not hear anything," Lianxing felt a sense of peace.

"Hmm? What about Hua Wuque?" Chu Luren suddenly remembered that Hua Wuque had also cultivated to the seventh level, but his temperament was very different from Yaoyue and Lianxing.

"Wuque is probably the only one among the successors of Yihua Palace who can control himself from listening... Firstly, it's his nature, and secondly, it's also related to his sister's usual teachings to him." Lianxing didn't explain it too clearly.

Actually, Yaoyue was worried that Hua Wuque might overhear her telling Lianxing that "secret"—when she left Yihua Palace, Hua Wuque was already at the sixth level, and his perception had become abnormal.

Therefore, Yaoyue intended to train Hua Wuque, and could not unleash the sensory abilities brought by the Mingyu Gong without good reason.

Yaoyue's perception range was much larger than Hua Wuque's, making it easy for her to observe whether he had opened his senses. In the beginning, she often had palace maids "fish for her."

Like He Lu and Lian Hua, who are currently by Hua Wuque's side, they were repeatedly slapped and humiliated by other palace maids at Yao Yue's behest within Hua Wuque's perception range. Although Hua Wuque made the move, Yao Yue did not punish him. However, what awaited He Lu and Lian Hua was a brutal beating that left them with their skin torn and bleeding. Eventually, Hua Wuque no longer dared to open his perception range and regarded "not looking" as a virtue...

Lianxing didn't give Chu Luren any examples, but Chu Luren could vaguely guess some of them.

In this way, Chu Luren could understand why the three people who cultivated the Mingyu Gong had completely different personalities—Lianxing seemed to be a shrunken version of Yaoyue, but it was just a disguise, something Chu Luren, who had spent every day with her, knew all too well.

Their disciple, Hua Wuque, is portrayed as a "gentleman"—although he genuinely looks down on everyone except his master and second master, he is still very polite and courteous to those he despises.

“I see… But Yaoyue’s behavior is probably not the kind of ‘pure heart’ that the Mingyu Gong seeks. If she were truly in harmony with the state of mind of the Mingyu Gong, shouldn’t she be able to remain unmoved even when hearing the words of the masses?” Chu Luren suddenly said.

Inviting the moon—that's called having a pure heart? It's clearly someone who made my heart impure; I'll make them turn to ice...

"Mingyu Gong" is ruthless, but it shouldn't be considered cruel or ruthless...

Hearing this, Lianxing changed the subject. She didn't think anyone could guide her sister in the "Mingyu Gong," especially since... her sister was still in the water stronghold!

Chu Luren, completely carried away with his pride, thought he wouldn't die even if he acted recklessly. Seeing Lianxing's still worried expression, he said directly, "Don't worry, if things really come to this, I'll tell Master Yan about Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer. Master Yan will definitely..."

Upon hearing this, Lianxing looked at Chu Luren in surprise—How do you know these things?

Then suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness pressed down on Chu Luren and Lianxing...

Chapter 685 Excuse

"How could you know..." Lianxing looked at Chu Luren in surprise.

This matter should only be known to myself and my sister, Yaoyue!

Could it be that his sister told him? That's impossible...

Whether it's inferring from Yaoyue's personality or the sudden chill that's descending now, it all points to this.

Seeing that Lianxing's face turned even paler from the cold, Chu Luren immediately wrapped her in a blanket.

The door opened by itself, revealing Yaoyue already standing at the doorway—a master, of course, cannot open a door with his bare hands.

"Yaoyue, Lianxing is still weak!" Chu Luren complained.

"Who told you that?" Yaoyue didn't care about whether it was true or not, and instead looked coldly at the two people on the bed.

One of them actually wants to reveal his biggest secret, and the other... is very likely the one who leaked it!

Chu Luren then realized that this matter was too confidential, making Yaoyue suspect Lianxing, so he spoke first: "It wasn't Lianxing. The person who let me know this secret is no longer alive... Listen." Chu Luren patted his chest as he spoke.

At this distance, the sound of a heartbeat, and even the "sound" of internal energy circulation, would be clearly audible to Yaoyue, allowing her to discern whether Chu Luren was lying.

Although Chu Luren had cultivated his physical training skills extensively, making his physical reactions unreliable, Lianxing's reaction was undeniable. Yaoyue, who knew her well, could tell that Lianxing was genuinely surprised.

"This secret should only be known to the three of us," Chu Luren added.

"Tell him who it is, but don't say you promised him you wouldn't reveal it, or you'll be going to join him!"

As Yue spoke, Chu Luren felt his internal organs begin to feel cold. However, Chu Luren's body was extremely strong, and the "Divine Illumination True Qi" that circulated spontaneously was enough to keep him safe. He just felt a chill inside and a slight urge to cough...

"Okay, actually it's the ancient three passages." Chu Luren had already come up with an excuse.

"Are you kidding me?" Yaoyue narrowed her eyes. Gu Santong had been in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years and had never come out. How would he know about Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque?

"The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is an unparalleled divine skill that exhausts the mysteries of the body. After cultivating it to a certain level, one can feel the connection of blood... That's how the ancient senior felt it. Brother Cheng is his biological son." To make his argument more convincing, Chu Luren also revealed Cheng Shifei's background.

This also aligns with the idea that "the person who told me this secret is no longer alive." As for the physical reactions caused by tension, Chu Luren was able to control them perfectly at this point.

It also explained why Gu Santong would pass on his martial arts to a petty hoodlum, increasing its credibility. Furthermore, neither Yaoyue nor Lianxing are gossipy people, so there's no need to worry about anything coming from them.

"You've mastered the 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill'?" Yaoyue's question was laced with sarcasm, clearly indicating her disbelief.

He immediately realized he had revealed too much emotion and quickly restrained himself.

"No, I had already practiced the body-refining techniques of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and then I mixed in several other body-refining techniques. Naturally, I couldn't cultivate the pure 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Art,' but I was still able to understand it by analogy..." Chu Luren forced an explanation.

"Oh? So you can sense the blood ties between other people?"

"It wasn't that obvious. First, I noticed that although Xiaoyuer wasn't ugly, the scars on his face interfered with the development of his facial muscles. Based on my understanding of the body, I imagined what he would look like without these scars, and found that... he looked extremely similar to Hua Wuque. Later, I decided to collect the blood of the two of them, and there was indeed some connection. With the two combined, I was finally convinced."

Chu Luren was also worried that Yaoyue would directly appoint him as a "paternity tester," so he specifically emphasized the various coincidences involved.

After staring at Chu Luren for a long time, Yaoyue could guess what "imagining" meant.

Chu Luren pretended not to be worried—his body-training techniques were far more than just "miscellaneous".

Even if it were Yaoyue, she couldn't possibly deduce her own martial arts prowess, which is why Chu Luren dared to fabricate stories so recklessly...

As expected, Yaoyue accepted this explanation somewhat, mainly because she was certain that Lianxing's condition was not something she had told Chu Luren. As a result, her anger subsided considerably.

"Give me the 'Invincible Vajra Divine Skill'." Yaoyue reached out her hand directly.

When Yaoyue practices the Mingyu Gong to a high level, it will definitely change the body—the skin becomes transparent when practicing the Gong, which is definitely not just due to internal energy.

She asked for the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill," but she certainly wouldn't be able to master it. However... she was confident that with her martial arts skills, she could tell whether Chu Luren was telling the truth or not.

"I'll write it to you later," Chu Luren readily agreed.

Lianxing hesitated for a moment, her lips moved, and after much deliberation, she whispered, "The 'Invincible Vajra Divine Skill' is very precious. What if someone says that you coveted someone else's martial arts? Cough cough cough..."

As soon as Lianxing finished speaking, she felt Yaoyue's chill coming towards her and immediately started coughing from the cold.

Seeing this, Yaoyue felt the chill dissipate slightly and said to Lianxing, "You can teach him the Mingyu Gong later."

Chu Luren's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he was about to express his gratitude when Yaoyue interrupted him, saying, "Why aren't you writing? What are you doing here?"

Chu Luren glanced at Yaoyue and then at Lianxing, confirming that Yaoyue had calmed down after learning that it wasn't Lianxing who told her. So he got up and went out.

Just as she reached the door, Yaoyue said coldly, "If there is a fourth person in the world who knows this secret, no matter who it is, I will kill you first!"

Chu Luren shuddered at the murderous aura, but still asked just in case, "What if it was you who said it?"

"Never mind, I didn't ask!" Seeing that Yaoyue was about to get angry, Chu Luren quickly left.

Chu Luren didn't know what Yaoyue and Lianxing talked about afterward. It wasn't until he finished writing "The Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" and it was already getting dark that Yaoyue left Lianxing's room.

Besides the secret manual, Chu Luren also carried a food box—containing nourishing porridge cooked by Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Because Yaoyue was still there, Liusheng Piaoxu didn't dare to send it in.

After handing the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" to Yaoyue, Chu Luren specifically asked, "Yaoyue, would you like to eat with us?"

"Hmph, no need." Yaoyue said sarcastically, but simply took away the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill".

After entering the house, Chu Luren asked in confusion, "What happened to your sister... Hmm? You cried?"

Chu Luren noticed that Lianxing's eyes were red.

"This is outrageous! Your injuries haven't even healed yet, and she's already bullying you... I'm going to confront her!" Chu Luren angrily slammed down a food box.

"Wait!" Lianxing quickly stopped him, and Chu Luren also quickly sat down as Lianxing had stopped him.

"Piaoxu has cooked some nourishing porridge. Eat some while it's hot," Chu Luren said.

"I... I still can't get out of bed," Lianxing said, blushing slightly.

“No need, you can stay in bed…” Chu Luren suddenly realized that Lianxing was unwilling to show her left hand and left foot, so he took the bowl, sat down next to Lianxing, and fed her bite by bite.

Chapter 686 Three Things

At midnight, Chu Luren cautiously entered Lianxing's room once again.

Previously, when Lianxing was teaching Chu Luren the incantation of "Mingyu Gong", she wrote the character "zi" on his palm, which is why Chu Luren came at this time.

"Chu Lang, come to the bed, let's... make love!" Lianxing suddenly said, blushing.

Chu Luren: !!!

what are you saying?

I thought the Mingyu Gong had some secret that was not passed down!

Seeing Chu Luren's expression, Lianxing said angrily, "I'm just trying to see if my sister has entered a meditative state. Don't... overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren breathed a sigh of relief, and then...

"I'm going to tell Hua Wuque the truth! Even Master Zhang can't stop me!"

"If you have a crush on me, then behave yourself and stop showing off your martial arts skills in front of me!"

"Of all the women I've ever seen, your looks are at best fifth... your figure is utterly unremarkable!"

Chu Luren also whispered a few provocative words, but after not sensing any murderous intent or chilling aura, he was completely relieved.

"So it turns out that Yaoyue enters a meditative state every night at midnight? But shouldn't one's senses be even sharper than usual when entering a meditative state according to the Mingyu Gong?" Chu Luren was also somewhat puzzled.

Chu Luren had by this time mastered the basics of the Mingyu Technique...

Normally, one can suppress this hearing, but during cultivation, it becomes impossible to suppress it—this is one of the difficulties of the Mingyu Gong.

“No, Sister is not in a normal meditative state. The series of events that happened before have affected her state of mind. Now she will definitely take advantage of the quiet surroundings to calmly gather her thoughts and repair her mental state,” Lianxing explained.

"I see." Chu Luren thought about the basic knowledge of the Mingyu Gong and then nodded in understanding.

Just then, Lianxing said mournfully, "Sister's Mingyu Gong is getting closer and closer to the ninth level."

"Oh? Yaoyue is about to break through?" Chu Luren's expression changed upon hearing this, and then he realized that Lianxing's emotions were not quite right.

“That’s right. Moreover, when my sister was cultivating, she always followed the ‘Mingyu Gong’ to forge her own path. Once the ‘Mingyu Gong’ is perfected, she will immediately break through to a new realm. However… in that case, my sister will be like the real moon and jade, beautiful as they are, but without any emotions.” Lianxing said worriedly.

Unlike Dongfang Bubai...

The sect leader sister started from the very beginning with her own unique approach, while Yaoyue aligned her own path with the Mingyu Gong. Every step she took was both cultivating the Mingyu Gong and perfecting her own path.

In terms of understanding the Mingyu Gong, Yaoyue, who has cultivated to the eighth level, is no less capable than the founder of the Mingyu Gong who just created the first eight levels.

Therefore, even though both are at the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong, Yaoyue is much stronger than Lianxing.
