Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#221 - The Great Shift

After leaving the inn, Liang Yue didn't continue following Zhao Min, or Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao.

His mission for this experience didn't include guarding, so naturally, he wouldn't particularly care about the life or death of certain people.

His urgent task now was to collect all kinds of martial arts manuals that could be considered secret techniques.

Liang Yue's first chosen target was the Ming Cult's ultimate skill, the "Great Shift of the Universe"!

But besides that, the "Great Shift of the Universe" seemed to also involve the use of internal force, and even the way to change attributes.

This was very remarkable!

There were also rumors that this divine skill had many functions, including stimulating and developing the maximum potential of the human body, integrating the principles of martial arts, copying the opponent's martial arts, creating flaws in the opponent, accumulating strength, sticking to palm power, guiding and shifting the enemy's strength, converting yin and yang energies, using force against force, and so on.

It sounded incredible, and its origin was even more inconclusive. One said it originated from the Persian Ming Cult headquarters, and another said it was created by Huo Wangshan, the founder of the Ming Cult.

Of course, before officially seeing the specific content of this technique, it was too early to say anything.

The reason why Liang Yue chose the "Great Shift of the Universe" as the first target of his search mission was that this technique existed within the forbidden area of the Ming Cult.

According to the original description, the Ming Cult's ultimate skill was originally recorded on a parchment scroll, which could only be revealed with blood. After Zhang Wuji finished practicing it, he should have put it away.

However, in the current movie world, the mental cultivation method of the "Great Shift of the Universe" was engraved on several stone slabs in the secret passage of the Ming Cult.

And after mastering it, Zhang Wuji, that scheming boy, directly blew them up...

According to his own thoughts, Liang Yue didn't intend to intervene too much in the plot if it wasn't necessary.

Therefore, he had to enter the secret passage of the Ming Cult before Zhang Wuji.

Besides, cultivating the mental cultivation method of this "Great Shift of the Universe" didn't seem to take much time.

This was what was written on the technique itself.

"This technique focuses on internal cultivation. Ordinary people need to practice for thirty years, while experts who have opened up the Ren and Du meridians only need three hours to complete it!"

Liang Yue, as a peak-level master of the acquired realm, had already had all the eight extraordinary meridians in his body, including various small meridians, opened up and connected with the help of dragon blood, running through the great cycle of meridians in the human body.

The Ren and Du meridians were naturally included.

What he needed now was just an opportunity and chance to allow his spirit to communicate with the heavens and earth, so as to absorb more advanced energy substances from the natural world.

At that time, Liang Yue could become a genuine innate-level martial arts master!

...

"Those two lovebirds are walking too slowly. They're just strolling around like they're on vacation. How can they be as fast as Master Cheng Kun?"

Taking out the spherical camera again, Liang Yue then lowered his head and hurried on his way, while searching for the whereabouts of this bald donkey on the screen.

Relying on the camera's monitoring range of up to ten kilometers, he quickly found Master Cheng, who was trotting on horseback, in front of a cloud of dust outside the small city.

"Heading west, it seems that the Six Major Sects have already reached the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain at this time."

"By the way, since we're talking about Kunlun Mountain, it seems that there are two divine skills hidden in that mountain range known as the ancestor of all mountains, right?"

"The One-Finger Skill is in Zhuwu Manor, as for the Nine Yang Manual..."

"After the Fire Worker Monk finished practicing it, he didn't seem to take the Nine Yang Manual away. In the end, Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi stole this technique from the Shaolin Temple.

So when Master Jueyuan left his inheritance, Zhang Sanfeng, Guo Xiang, and another Shaolin disciple each learned one-third."

"Although the time is slightly off, that's roughly the outline. In the current movie world, the scenes of Zhuwu Manor have been reduced, and Zhang Wuji didn't obtain the secret manual in the Kunlun Secret Valley.

Instead, after falling off a cliff behind Wudang Mountain, he was taught the complete Nine Yang Manual by the Fire Worker Monk, plus a body of power."

"But that Kunlun Secret Valley should still be there, but to find it, you must find the location of Zhuwu Manor."

"This ~ shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"However, the timing for me to set off to find these two divine skill manuals should be postponed a bit, because after the siege of Bright Peak, the remaining forces of the Six Major Sects should be captured by Zhao Min using the Ten Fragrant Tendon Softening Powder.

Then, by the way, she will also send troops to sweep the mountain gates of the Six Major Sects. At that time, the four great skills and seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin Temple, the Zixia Divine Skill of the Huashan School, and the swordsmanship, etc.

Including Abbess Extermination's Heaven-Reliant Sword, should all belong to me ~ Hehe!"

"Speaking of that Heaven-Reliant Sword, besides hiding the Nine Yin Manual, it seems to also contain the lifelong knowledge of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, including the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms.

Then there's the Beggar Clan's other ultimate skill, the Dog Beating Staff Technique, which is probably also found inside."

"If that's the case ~"

...

"Little Taoist! What are you holding in your hand? Hand it over to this grandpa!"

Just as Liang Yue was burying his head on his way, looking at the surveillance images in his hand, and planning his route for this trip in his mind.

A strange and violent shout suddenly came from the road ahead ~

Suddenly, Liang Yue was awakened. Looking up, it turned out to be a burly man wearing scaled armor. Judging from his attire, he shouldn't be an ordinary soldier.

Behind him, there were dozens of soldiers standing neatly, all holding spears, long knives at their waists, or carrying bows and arrows. Their military discipline was strict, blocking the entire street tightly.

They just happened to be blocking his way out of the city.

"Something wrong?"

Seeing this, Liang Yue frowned and said to the burly soldier.

Who knew that the big man's hairy face immediately sank upon hearing this, and he raised his hand, pointed at his nose and began to scold

"Bold Han dog! This officer is talking to you, how dare you not hear! You ~"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, this man instantly received a heavy kick from Liang Yue!

Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds of bones, the big man who claimed to be a captain was immediately knocked away, spitting blood wildly, and also knocking away seven or eight soldiers behind him.

And since he had already made a move, Liang Yue would naturally not be polite.

With a flick of his sleeve, a long sword was held in his hand, and at the same time, he saw this fellow tapping his feet, and the whole person instantly followed the path smashed out by the big man, breaking into the military formation.

Then twist the waist, spin, swing the sword!

"Buzz ~!"

Accompanied by a crisp sword sound, a snow-bright circular sword energy suddenly bloomed in the center of the military formation.

Wherever it passed, all the soldiers on the street were instantly divided into two!

The aftermath of the sword energy even affected the shops on both sides of the street to a great extent, instantly scraping off a layer of stone powder, leaving a slender sword mark on it!

"Swish ~"

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of blood spurted into the sky, and the bloody smell began to permeate the surrounding area.

Liang Yue then put away his sword, and continued to hold the spherical recorder in his hand, stepping on the limbs and corpses all over the street, and walked forward unhurriedly.

Silently, a layer of zhenqi shield suddenly rose on his body, blocking the falling large amount of blood rain.

After a few breaths, this shield even spread out in all directions in an instant, bouncing all the blood away.

...

"Clap clap clap ~"

"Young hero, what a brilliant skill, I wonder ~ if you could do me the honor of coming up and sharing a drink with this young master?"

At this moment, a burst of applause suddenly came from his upper left. Liang Yue looked up and saw that the speaker was none other than Zhao Min in white.

In addition, the Xuanming Elders, the Eight Heroes of Divine Arrows and others were also impressively present.

It was just that at this moment, their gazes towards Liang Yue were full of vigilance and precaution.

"No need, when we meet again, we will probably be enemies."

Looking at Zhao Min, who was standing on the city gate tower at this moment, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, Liang Yue smiled slightly and replied.

"Oh ~! So what you said before, 'If only life could be like the first time we met,' is what you meant?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min in white immediately showed a bit of surprise and amusement on her face.

The Eight Heroes of Divine Arrows behind her were even more drawing their bows and aiming their arrows at various vital points on his body.

Liang Yue's answer to this was just a few emotionless chuckles.

"Heh heh heh ~"

"Young hero, with your superb martial arts skills, why seek your own death and be an enemy of my Great Yuan Dynasty? Don't you know the principle of hitting a stone with an egg?"

As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, Liang Yue had already walked into the city gate tower below them.

When his figure walked out of the gate, his voice also floated faintly through the internal force amplification, reaching everyone's ears.

"The Yuan Dynasty is divided into four classes... Mongolians are the first class... Semu people are the second class... Han people are the third class... Southerners are the fourth class..."

"Princess, please take care, the days of great chaos in the world are not far away..."
