People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Cao Ze suddenly felt a little confused. What was his path?

Upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, any improvement in strength is accompanied by an improvement in realm. Regardless of whether one was mediocre or exceptionally talented before, without finding one's own path, one will gain nothing, have nothing to seek, and have nothing to rely on. Just as Wuming said, one will waste more than ten years in one realm, or even more than several decades like Gongsun Long.

"boom……"

The roof of one of the main halls inside the Rashomon was suddenly breached.

The shattered wood pieces shot out in all directions like bullets.

The sharp sword energy crisscrossed the heavens and earth, but Donghuang Taiyi stood on a high building, letting the sword energy run rampant, all of which dissipated three feet away from him, remaining unmoved.

"Nameless, are you determined to forge a blood feud with the Yin-Yang School, a feud that will last until death?"

The sound that echoed through the heavens and earth was, compared to the ethereal and otherworldly sound of Donghuang Taiyi in the past, extremely cold and eerie this time.

He had just suppressed the injuries that had recurred from his fight with the nameless Gongsun Long not long ago, and had not even emerged from seclusion for two days to search for medicine and refine pills to treat his injuries when the nameless Gongsun Long came to his door again, and had even broken through to the Grandmaster level.

It surprised him and made him feel uneasy.

If Wuming is determined to fight him this time, even if he wins, he will suffer terribly. His century-old wounds and hidden ailments will erupt all at once, causing him to die suddenly.

Without uttering a word, Wuming's sword, illuminated by the moonlight, seemed to come alive, swiftly piercing towards Donghuang Taiyi's face like a silver fish.

Like Cao Ze, he was also very curious about what Donghuang Taiyi's face looked like hidden under his black robe.

Donghuang Taiyi angrily said, "Very well! You've angered me, so leave your life behind!"

The three streams of Dragon Qi, formed by the soul and the dragon's flight, resembled a five-clawed golden dragon emerging from mythology, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked Wuming.

At their level, most techniques and moves become useless, and they can even be exploited by opponents of the same level, leading to a fight based on individual fighting styles.

Wuming let out a soft shout, and the Han Guang sword in his hand disappeared, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth within ten zhang, transforming it into three giant swords of sword energy, each several zhang wide.

"This is..." Cao Ze exclaimed in surprise, "Sword control technique?"

While browsing through ancient books on Longhu Mountain, he came across a secret story.

There is a peerless swordsman in Mount Shu who is skilled in sword control. He once killed three masters of the same realm on Kunlun Mountain and was invincible in the world.

The old master also added a commentary to this secret story, saying that even if they were in the same situation, there was no guarantee of victory.

The collision between the five-clawed golden dragon and the sword control technique caused the surrounding天地力量 (heaven and earth energy) to become extremely chaotic.

To borrow the power of heaven and earth as usual, one must know how much spiritual power it would consume.

Jingni exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that Wuming has gained the upper hand..."

Cao Ze also found it very difficult to understand.

Why was Donghuang Taiyi, a Grandmaster at his peak, suppressed by Wuming?

Could it be that this old man is all bark and no bite, only able to live like a turtle?

Yanfei and Yueshen had already noticed that the figure was approaching from afar, like a ghost.

Behind them were elders such as the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate.

Wuming glanced at Dongjun and Yueshen. Although the Yin-Yang School acted eccentrically, he had to admit that they had a lot of experts.

He glanced at Donghuang Taiyi with some regret; he was just a hair's breadth away from breaking Donghuang Taiyi's coat rack.

Even when suppressed by him, he still had to hide his face. Just who is Donghuang Taiyi...?

Donghuang Taiyi stared at Wuming with a gloomy expression. If it weren't for the need to prevent his clothes from tearing, how could he have been outmaneuvered by Wuming?

"Let's attack together and take him down!"

No matter how strong Wuming is, he can still single-handedly block the entire Yin Yang School.

Wuming left under the moon, departing gracefully without giving Donghuang Taiyi any chance to leave him behind.

Donghuang Taiyi's blood surged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What does this mean? Are you putting a monkey show on us?

"Master, are you alright?"

The Moon Goddess looked at Donghuang Taiyi with a strange expression, her tone full of concern.

Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand to stop Yanfei and Yueshen from approaching him.

"He suffered some minor injuries. Go and call Xu Fu over."

The moon goddess remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was laughing heartily.

What a golden opportunity!

The leader must have been seriously injured this time, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Xu Fu over.

She could take the opportunity to have Xu Fu put the Corpse God Curse Gu into the elixir.

By catching him off guard and employing a two-pronged approach, how could he, with his master-level strength, fail to kill the cult leader?!

a ha ha ha……

Chapter 438 The Heartless Moon Goddess

As night deepened, in Luo Shengtang, inside Xu Fu's alchemy room, a graceful figure in blue slowly entered.

"Lord Yunzhong, how is the Eastern Emperor's injury?"

Xu Fu's fingers trembled slightly as he listened to the Moon Goddess's cold voice.

"Yue, Lord Moon God, leader..."

Xu Fu hesitated, unsure of what to say.

The Moon Goddess snorted coldly, her words chilling: "Speak! Is there anything this Protector cannot know?"

Xu Fu shook his head helplessly. He sensed the faint killing intent in the Moon Goddess's tone; the Yin-Yang School was about to change.

"The sect leader possesses a concentrated sword energy within him. Although his skill is unparalleled, he still needs to take elixirs to regulate his Qi, and these elixirs must be mild in their effects..."

"Alright!" the Moon Goddess interrupted, "Just tell me, how serious are his injuries?"

Xu Fu pondered and said, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be serious, but the sect leader seems to have old injuries. If he can't suppress the sword energy this time, he might die."

The moon goddess's exquisite and flawless beauty couldn't help but reveal a broad smile.

"Very good, very good, very good..."

The Moon Goddess murmured to herself a few times and took out a small silver bottle from her wide sleeve.

"This is a Corpse God Curse Gu that has been fed to you. You should mix this into the pills according to the original plan and give it to the sect leader to take."

Xu Fu took the small silver bottle and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the Star Soul has already..."

The Moon Goddess smiled calmly, "Indeed, this protector found him and had him cultivate the Star Soul Technique, which is how he managed to raise this Gu."

With her abilities, it would be no problem at all for her to manipulate a boy who was only eleven or twelve years old.

Xu Fu asked cautiously, "Moon Goddess, if the sect leader dies, what will happen to the Yin-Yang School...?"

"I will naturally be in charge of the Yin-Yang School!" The Moon Goddess's tone was decisive and firm. "I am the next leader, and even my senior sister must listen to me!"

"Can you defeat Lord Dongjun?" Xu Fu thought to himself, "I hope I don't get caught in the crossfire."

Xu Fu's shifty gaze did not escape the notice of the Moon Goddess.

She chuckled, "Don't you believe I can hold onto the position of leader?"

Xu Fu remained silent.

The Moon Goddess said calmly, "As long as the sect leader is eliminated, Senior Sister will be no match for this protector."

"Are you familiar with the forbidden technique of the Yin-Yang School, the Body-Seizing Art?"

Xu Fu was startled: "The Body-Seizing Technique?"

The Body-Seizing Technique, also known as the Star-Absorbing Technique, is derived from the Northern Darkness Divine Art of Taoism.

However, since the Yin-Yang School separated from Taoism, this practice has no complete version, only a few fragments remain.

Because the disciples' practice of it often caused trouble, it was shelved and listed as a forbidden book, prohibiting anyone from practicing it.

He hadn't expected the Moon Goddess to be so ruthless as to risk cultivating such an incomplete manual.

It should be understood that this incomplete manual is not only extremely difficult and dangerous to cultivate, but even if one succeeds in cultivating it, it is extremely difficult to seize the internal energy of another person. It is almost impossible to do so at the same level, or even at a lower level.

Moreover, internal energy is different. If it cannot be refined and controlled, it will inevitably cause violent conflicts within the body, and the worst case will be death by explosion. Therefore, this technique can be considered quite useless.

The Moon Goddess coldly said, "Indeed, I already have a solution to the drawbacks of this technique. You just need to do your job, integrate the Corpse God Curse Gu into the pill, and have the sect leader take it. You don't need to ask any other questions!"

Originally, she had not considered the Body-Seizing Technique, but after learning about Xiangjun and Xiangfuren, and understanding the cyclical flow and mutual integration of the highest good like water, white dew like frost, and the heavens and earth, she suddenly remembered this incomplete chapter of the technique.

Through her day and night study and improvement, she has mastered it.

……

Cao Ze and the Nameless Sword Saint clashed.

Seeing that Wuming's complexion was not good, he asked with concern, "Senior, are you alright?"

Wuming said, "It's just that I used up a lot of internal energy, but it's nothing serious."

Cao Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked, "Senior, what kind of move was that giant sword energy that you just used, which was condensed from the power of heaven and earth?"

Wuming laughed and said, "You want to learn?"

Cao Ze said honestly, "Yes, I really want to. Senior's move was so cool."

This could very well be the legendary sword-controlling technique. If I learn it, I might be able to travel three thousand miles on a sword in the future, wandering the vast sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountain in the evening.

"That's such a pity, you can't learn it now."

Wuming's lips curled up slightly, seemingly pleased that he had teased Cao Ze.

Cao Ze's face fell. "Really? I learn things very quickly..."

Wuming explained, "This is a sword move I created when I entered the Grandmaster realm, merging my own sword intent with the heavens and earth. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but it won't be of any help to you."

"Instead of learning my method, you should go and ask Gai Nie for his Hundred Steps Flying Sword technique."

Cao Ze's eye twitched slightly. Goodness, so this is what a Grandmaster is like—simple and unpretentious. It's a pity he's still scratching his head over the Grandmaster.
