Could be seen from chat group appearance frequency.
Compared to them frequently chatting in the chat group, Luo Hao—besides initially saying a few words—after breaking through Campione Status, rarely spent time on the chat group.
The Heavenly Great Dao lay before her eyes. How would she waste time on other matters?
Most Ancient Godslayer: "You bastard!!!"
Marquis Voban was provoked to anger by Madara Uchiha's words, yet couldn't refute.
Precisely because unable to refute—became angry!
Zhang Sanfeng: "Though this timing isn't ideal, this old Daoist's hundredth birthday has arrived."
Zhang Sanfeng: "Barring accidents, next Shaolin, Kunlun, Emei, and other sects will also come to interrogate Cuishan and others about Xie Xun's whereabouts."
Zhang Sanfeng's sudden appearance attracted everyone's attention.
Those originally watching the show also reappeared one after another.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Hundredth birthday—isn't that plot start?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Saying it's for Xie Xun—still for the Heaven Reliant Sword."
Invincible East: "Supreme of the martial world, Precious Saber Dragon Slayer, commands all under heaven—none dare disobey! Heaven Reliant emerges not—who contends for supremacy!"
Invincible East: "The slogan's truly resounding. But who'd think the so-called martial world supreme, commanding all under heaven, was actually because of a military tactics manual?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Speaking of which—quite strange. Military Treatise of Wumu commanding all under heaven I can understand. But why add 'martial world supreme' in front? What relationship does it have with martial world supreme?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Or is this martial world supreme referring to Nine Yin Manual and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms inside Heaven Reliant Sword?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "But if so—why not 'Martial world supreme, Precious Sword Heaven Reliant'?"
Su Yunxiao voiced her doubts. Martial world people toward Military Treatise of Wumu—this kind of military tactics—should have no interest. Why would martial world supreme connect with Dragon Slayer Saber?
Zhang Sanfeng: "This..."
This point truly no one noticed.
Lighthouse Richest Man: "This should be pretty normal, right?"
Lighthouse Richest Man: "A bunch of people—not knowing Dragon Slayer Saber and Heaven Reliant Sword's secrets—already crazily pursuing these two cold weapons. Never thought about how Xie Xun possessed Dragon Slayer Saber so many years without becoming any martial world supreme."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Hard to say."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Though they don't know Dragon Slayer Saber and Heaven Reliant Sword's secrets, they know they definitely have secrets. As long as secrets exist—that's enough."
Ordinary Group Leader: "If you revealed Military Treatise of Wumu, Nine Yin Manual, Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms—pursuers would actually decrease. Like Shaolin and... and what? Seems like just Shaolin."
Su Yunxiao originally subconsciously wanted to say Shaolin, Wudang—these top-tier sects wouldn't participate. But this time Wudang fundamentally didn't participate. Wanted to find an example to parallel Shaolin—sects that wouldn't be tempted facing Nine Yin Manual, Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
But thinking left and right—actually couldn't think of any!
Not mentioning others—just Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong, Huashan—these four sects.
Kongtong Sect? Just one Seven Injuries Fist—even harming oneself without benefiting.
Emei Sect? Guo Xiang's martial arts—saying they're strong, also not really. Otherwise, Miejue wouldn't be this urgently wanting to find Dragon Slayer Saber, clash with Heaven Reliant Sword to extract Nine Yin Manual and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
Huashan Sect? If Huashan Sect Leader had some strength—wouldn't need to hide poison inside fans.
Kongtong Sect? Leader's strength estimated similar to Kongtong Five Elders.
They fundamentally couldn't refuse top-tier martial arts like Nine Yin Manual and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
Shaolin completely lacked no techniques. Seventy-Two Stunts, Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, Marrow Cleansing Sutra—what stunts didn't they have?
Did Shaolin value martial arts? Could any precious martial art be stronger than what Bodhidharma created?
Possibly stronger. But they definitely wouldn't acknowledge it.
Moreover, Shaolin—as Buddhist gate—practicing martial arts was just one choice direction. Most important was Buddhist Dharma!
Most of the day needed spending on meditation and Buddha worship.
Shaolin stunts also linked with Buddhist Dharma. The deeper Buddhist Dharma—the deeper martial arts understanding, the faster cultivation speed.
Besides Wudang, in Heaven Reliant—wanting to find another sect comparable to Shaolin was truly very difficult.
As for why Wudang could parallel Shaolin?
(Zhang Sanfeng: What do you think?)
Child of Nature: "If Carefree Sect prospered until now, that might be another scenario."
Four from Carefree Sect valued by Xiaoyao Zi—their talents couldn't be called low. Pity three were trapped by emotions, walked the wrong path.
Finally, all internal power fulfilled Xu Zhu.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Speaking of Carefree Sect—is Xiaoyao Zi still alive?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Didn't they say his cultivated martial arts could make people eternally youthful?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Everlasting Eternal Youth Art? Is it called this name?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Northern Dark Divine Art, Lesser Non-Phase Art, Eight Desolations Six Directions Only I Am Supreme Art—all parts of this technique. Xiaoyao Zi thought after he left, when they three exchanged martial arts, they'd discover. Result..."
Ordinary Group Leader: "This I saw in fanfiction novels. Feels quite possible."
Child of Nature: "Eight Desolations Six Directions Only I Am Supreme Art already renamed—called Eternal Youth Art."
Child of Nature: "Whether Xiaoyao Zi still lives? Barring accidents—definitely alive."
Child of Nature: "In the setting, he reached Eternal Youth Valley. Valley's spring water—drinking year-round enables eternal youth preservation. Valley's centenarians all possess raven hair and vermillion faces—like ten-something-year-old youths and maidens."
Child of Nature: "That book recording making people eternally youthful—the divine book—was taken by him. Namely[Divine book already departed with Carefree, this valley retains only Eternal Youth Spring]"
Child of Nature: "Setting already says makes people eternally youthful. He has no reason not to achieve longevity."
Invincible East: "Why don't you check the group shop?"
Invincible East: "That divine book exists."
Invincible East: "Price at 700,000 points. Such expensive price—eternal youth should not be false words."
Even Dog Talisman only cost 1 million points.
But Dog Talisman—besides eternal youth—also possessed immortality function.
Things recorded in this divine book likely not merely things making people eternally youthful—also other things inside.
Lighthouse Richest Man: "Eternal youth again? Even wuxia worlds have things making people eternally youthful!"
Was longevity's mystery this vulnerable in mysticism's eyes?
Spiritual energy, magic—fair enough. But martial arts manuals?
Properly face your power, big brother!
Clearly your performance in plot could only split mountains and shatter rocks!!!
Stronger than ordinary people. But compared to chakra, Devil Fruits—your power's weaker by not just one or two times!
But why could such a weak world system make people eternally youthful?!
If high-martial, mid-martial—fair enough. Aren't you a low-martial world?!
Low-martial could also achieve longevity?
