The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

At this moment, all three were attacking with their fists and feet, unarmed, yet their fists and palms were displaying hundreds of martial arts techniques...

The two island masters, Longmu and Erdao, had been studying "Xia Ke Xing" for who knows how long. Even if they weren't as efficient as Chu Luren, they had become "all-rounders".

The palm technique carries sword energy, the sword energy contains knife technique, the knife technique contains hidden weapon power, and the hidden power also contains fist and foot techniques!

Swords, fists, hidden weapons, internal energy cultivation, lightness skills...

Countless martial arts techniques were displayed from the fists and feet of the three. Chu Luren thrust out a finger, and several sword energies swept out. The Dragon Island Master slashed down with his foot, and the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls suddenly arose, as if a giant axe was about to split the heavens and the earth. The Wood Island Master's palm wind gathered, and the surrounding air currents gathered in chaos, with a faint binding force.

The lingering effects of the wind, controlled by the island master, had long since extinguished the already dim oil lamp in the stone chamber.

In complete darkness, the clash of the three forces caused the vast final stone chamber to tremble slightly!

Although there was no visible light, for Chu Luren and the two island masters of Longmu, sound, smell, and airflow perception were enough to piece together an image.

It can even faintly perceive light that is invisible to ordinary people...

Chu Luren and the two island lords, Longmu and Erdao, exchanged less than a hundred blows, and Chu Luren realized how "troublesome" these two were!

Chu Luren had some doubts: could the twenty-four stone chambers on the island be the "original" version, or even better?

Think back to when the two island masters, Long and Mu, first arrived at Xia Ke Island. It had only just begun to recover since the last time the Heavenly Gate was closed and sealed off. In other words…

What the two of them comprehended was the fusion of the results of the "debate" held when the Heavenly Gate was wide open during the Tang Dynasty!

In the last thirty years, although more people have come to study and comprehend it, some of the mysteries have been obscured to some extent—the Chu Lu people, who used to frequently create "pits" through fusion, understand this best.

From this perspective, the two island masters, Long and Mu, are indeed the people on the island who have the deepest understanding of the "Twenty-Four Stone Chambers of the Knights-Errant"!

Even the version Chu Luren is currently recording is a concealed version, so it's hard to say which is better...

Originally, if the two island masters of Longmu Island were to fight one-on-one, they would indeed be inferior to Chu Luren. However, now, whether it is because the Dao patterns of heaven and earth sensed the threat or for some other reason, external meridians have appeared on their bodies. After this enhancement, the two are basically on par with "Chu Luren under enlightenment".

Fortunately, the Chu Lu people were good at fighting against many opponents and had no obvious weaknesses, so they managed to hold on for a while!

At the same time, after more than a hundred moves, Chu Luren also began to integrate with Xia Ke Xing—the reason he didn't integrate right away was because Chu Luren was unsure of the final operating rules of the stone chamber.

If it also updates in real time, then it is necessary to interrupt the second island master of Longmu's comprehension before triggering it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the three of them were at a life-or-death juncture, and Chu Luren felt that now was the time to begin the fusion...

Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming.

A silver saddle shines on a white horse, swift as a shooting star...

……

As the Chu Lu people continued to integrate the contents of the first twenty-four stone chambers, the original Dao patterns of heaven and earth in the final stone chambers resonated more and more.

From Chu Luren's perspective, in a void of darkness, he and the two island masters, Longmu and Erdao, were constantly fighting. In the boundless darkness, a constellation made of stars appeared, resembling a human figure sitting cross-legged, with clearly visible meridians and acupoints. It gradually became the "background pattern" for the three of them to fight.

……

Three cups of Turanuo, Wuyue is light.

After my eyes blurred and my ears burned, a sense of exhilaration arose...

……

At the same time, the meridian diagram in Chu Luren's sea of ​​consciousness also shone brightly, echoing the meridian stars in the outside world...

Normally, Chu Luren would equip the badge on his meridian chart, but when fusion was needed, he would place the badge between his eyebrows!

At this moment, Chu Luren instinctively focused his attention on the area between his eyebrows where the Dao patterns of heaven and earth were located.

Chu Luren suddenly realized that the center of the brow of the meridian constellation formed by the Dao patterns of heaven and earth was like a black hole... No, a black hole is not accurate. It should be said that there was nothing there, a true "emptiness". It was so empty that it did not even appear out of place. He had not noticed anything unusual before!

……

It is not ashamed to be a hero in the world.

Who can write your masterpiece, the Tai Xuan Jing, even in your old age?

……

The first twenty-four stone chambers, merged!

The complete "Ode to a Knight-Errant" is finished!

At the same time, Chu Luren's consciousness instinctively focused on the area between his eyebrows in his sea of ​​consciousness, and his consciousness instinctively entered into the area between his eyebrows containing the Dao patterns of heaven and earth...

In the "outside world," only the subconscious of the Dao Embryo is fighting against the two island masters, Long and Mu!

Not only could he execute the Twenty-Four Forms of the Knight-Errant with effortless grace, but new surges of energy also gradually emerged from Chu Luren's dantian.

What the two island masters, Longmu and Dizhu, couldn't see was that the dantian area of ​​the meridian constellation was also resonating at this moment...

Chu Luren's main consciousness discovered that he was watching a "memory"—the memory of Xia Ke Island, or rather, the "Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns".

I don't know how far back in time, whether it was the Shang and Zhou dynasties or the Warring States period, it was from the first time someone cultivated internal energy, or rather, the first time someone resonated slightly with the great meridians of heaven and earth through their own small meridians...

For the first time, someone commanded their body to connect with the world...

For the first time, someone used their own heart to sense the power of nature...

……

The Dao patterns of heaven and earth already existed in the world—it was just that at that time it was not on Xia Ke Island, or even anywhere else in the world...

Chapter 965 Did you donate the cheat?

Chu Luren "saw" that the original Dao patterns of heaven and earth did not require anyone to comprehend them, but spontaneously absorbed all the martial arts mysteries of the world.

The mysteries of the Dao patterns of heaven and earth are not innate, but rather gradually perfected, just like this world...

The meridians, or rather the rules, of this world are patched up with each opening of the Heavenly Gate—each opening of the Heavenly Gate is a "renewal" for this world.

In the long process of evolution, the Dao patterns of heaven and earth are like the laws and rules of sunset and star rise and the movement of celestial bodies. They do not manifest themselves, just like the mystery of "martial arts" itself.

Until hundreds of years ago... someone broke through the void and left this world!

Those who shattered their mortal form and ascended to immortality captured a portion of the concept of "martial arts"...

Unable to adapt to this stimulation, the Dao patterns of Heaven and Earth manifested on a small island in the South China Sea, becoming visible, tangible, and palpable...

It is no longer a rule or law, but merely a unique stone that can be understood and used to help others understand.

Moreover, the manifested Dao patterns of heaven and earth can also be corrupted!

The "martial arts" of this world inherently carries a sense of repair and patching; it is not about simulating the world to become the strongest. Reaching the level of learning from the world is merely touching the threshold of heaven...

If every rule has its purpose, then the "martial arts" of this world are actually for the purpose of gathering wisdom and patching up the world; they are a kind of "absorption." Therefore, after they are manifested, they will be polluted!

During the early Tang Dynasty, the Dao patterns of Heaven and Earth were already on the verge of being corrupted. Later, a swordsman in green robes sealed them with twenty-four sword techniques just as the Heavenly Gate was about to close... until it was reopened nearly forty years ago.

Chu Luren gradually realized that it wasn't that the Dao patterns of heaven and earth themselves possessed any terrifying or greedy will, but rather that the greed of the martial artists who comprehended them gradually influenced them.

Yes, the martial artist's comprehension makes him increasingly profound, but conversely, it also increasingly binds him, not only causing the two island masters of Longmu to become distorted, but also "dragging" other martial artists into this place...

Ultimately, the martial artist became bound by the very prosperity he had created.

Until seven or eight years ago, the missing, unpolluted essence that was originally missing from the Dao patterns of heaven and earth returned to this world!

Chu Luren: !!!

This is what Chu Luren "saw" from the perspective of the Dao patterns of heaven and earth. As for what exactly happened outside this world, Chu Luren had no idea.

However, Chu Luren had already realized that this was precisely the origin of his mutated sea of ​​consciousness...

The being that shattered and departed returned the martial arts rules he had intercepted in this way!

As for whether it was that person who caused his time travel, or whether he simply happened to be there when he traveled, Chu Luren had no idea.

Breaking this cycle on Xia Ke Island is actually quite simple: either completely decipher the Dao patterns of heaven and earth and unravel their mysteries, or reintegrate this essence back into the island...

Fortunately, both of these are things that the people of Chulu can do now!

However, the former is likely to lead to the prohibition of "martial arts" - after all, the essence of the Dao patterns of heaven and earth is the manifestation of "martial arts".

If it were to disappear completely, it is very likely that the small meridians in the human body would no longer be able to resonate with the major meridians of heaven and earth, thus making it impossible to cultivate internal strength, to harmonize one's state of mind with the will of heaven, and to influence the power of heaven and earth...

In other words, internal energy cultivation will degenerate back into breathing techniques for prolonging life... People's state of mind will no longer be related to the outside world... Whether it's power or not, it's better to memorize a few physics formulas... Physical training will also return to the nutritional exercise of the body - mind, body, energy, techniques, and power will all be cut off.

Training your fists and feet is nothing more than speed, power, and joint strikes...

Of course, there could be other reactions, but this is Chu Luren's speculation—just like the world Chu Luren traveled to before, scientists did not seem to possess any great power because they comprehended the rules of heaven and earth.

Chu Luren also speculated that this process should be gradual.

To some extent, this also explains why the original novel of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" feels out of place in terms of its historical setting.

The original novel, "The Knight Errant," takes place in the era after Zhang Sanfeng's "death," which is at least the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Sanfeng is hailed as a "grandmaster who carried on the past and opened up the future." The period of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber coincided with the flourishing of martial arts, so it is not impossible to say that it was the beginning of that flourishing.

At least in terms of martial arts level, even disregarding the exceptional Xia Ke Island and Gou Zazhong characters, it's at least on par with the era of Yi Tian. Furthermore, the performances of Xia Ke Island and Gou Zazhong are unconventional and beyond the scope of the martial arts world…

However, after that, the levels of martial arts in Jin Yong's worldview plummeted.

In the grand worldview of the martial arts world, perhaps the method of thoroughly comprehending the Dao patterns of heaven and earth could also be used to end the strange phenomena on Xia Ke Island? — This speculation arose in Chu Luren's mind.

Perhaps this isn't so bad?

Chu Luren had this thought in mind: since none of us know martial arts, it would be more equal for everyone.

In any case, the effects won't be apparent from this generation onwards...

However, such a thought only flashed through my mind.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the real pressure comes from landlords and gentry; what are martial arts practitioners compared to that?

The most shameless people in the martial arts world are nothing more than Feng Tiannan, Wan Zhenshan, and Ling Tuisi, who are "so evil that they are as wicked as landlords, gentry, and corrupt officials"...

To think that the world will be at peace if no one knows martial arts is a bit too naive.

Therefore, the Chu Lu people chose a different path—the second one!

……

The two island lords of Longmu Island fought against Chu Luren, and with two against one, they already had the upper hand. However, at this moment, Chu Luren's style of action subtly changed again.

If the surroundings were originally just stars, meridians, and constellations existing only in the consciousness of Chu Luren, then now... these images have truly emerged!

The two island masters, Longmu and Erdao, can also "see" it...

Just then, Chu Luren suddenly showed a "flaw" by pushing out his palms in an unremarkable manner, seemingly intending to clash with the two island masters, Longmu and Erdao.
