Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2799

Chapter 1312 The Plan to Supplement the Whole World

“We are merely following the will of Heaven. All land under Heaven belongs to the emperor; why should we try to stop him?” The Quanzhen Sect members pursuing them clearly didn’t want to argue about this topic and quickly resumed their attack.

Zhang Junbao’s martial arts were still incomplete, and he was quickly overwhelmed by their numbers, facing imminent danger.

Just as he was about to be captured, several small stones suddenly flew from the side, knocking the weapons of the Quanzhen Sect disciples.

Everyone was shocked, their hands going numb. Who could knock down so many people’s weapons from such a distance with small stones? Could it be Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, who had arrived?

Soon, two figures emerged. The man wore a mask depicting a gaunt figure, while the woman was radiant and incomparably beautiful.

“Little Dragon Girl, Yang Guo…” Some of the Quanzhen Sect members had seen Little Dragon Girl before, so they recognized her at first glance. Although they wondered why she hadn’t aged after all these years, they reasoned that fairies all possessed the art of preserving their youth.

Zhang Junbao was also extremely excited: “Brother Yang!”

He had benefited immensely from her guidance years ago and was deeply grateful.

Zu An nodded, thinking that it was fortunate he had a mask, and with the added detail of concealing a hand to appear as if he had a severed arm, impersonating Yang Guo wasn’t difficult.

“The disciples of the Quanzhen Sect are getting worse and worse. Now they’re even using numbers to bully the few! Get out of here before I change my mind!” Zu An deliberately lowered his voice. Although his imitation might not be perfect, after so many years, only a few people who knew Yang Guo best would recognize him; others wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The Quanzhen disciples felt like they’d been granted a pardon and turned to run. With the Condor Hero’s reputation built up over the years, and having personally witnessed the battle at Chongyang Palace, they dared not resist.

Zhang Junbao and his Quanzhen friends rushed forward to thank him for saving their lives. After a few pleasantries, Zu An finally understood what had happened. It

turned out that after the Quanzhen Sect sided with the Mongols, it had actually caused considerable controversy within the sect.

Many didn’t want to join the Mongol Tartars, but feared that refusal would lead to the extermination of the sect.

Thus, the remaining Seven Masters of Quanzhen went out to establish their own sects to avoid this place of trouble. For example, Hao Datong’s lineage founded the Huashan Sect, and Sun Bu’er created the Qingjing Sect, and so on.

Currently, the Quanzhen Sect is led by third-generation disciples, and many of the younger disciples are also passionate and unwilling to work for the Mongols, also wanting to leave Quanzhen.

However, the current higher-ups of the Quanzhen Sect can’t control the Seven Masters, so how could they not control them?

Naturally, they disagreed, leading to conflict. Zhang Junbao came to help them leave after receiving a friend’s request, but unfortunately, he was discovered, resulting in the previous fierce battle.

Zu An pondered, “No wonder everyone says the Wudang Sect developed from a branch of the Quanzhen Sect; so that’s why.”

Zu An naturally encouraged them, asking, “What are your plans next?”

Zhang Junbao looked somewhat bewildered, “I don’t know, but the world is vast, there’s always a place for us.”

Zu An smiled, “Go to Wudang Mountain, it’s a place you’re destined to visit.”

Zhang Junbao blinked and answered readily, “Okay!”

Zu An then taught them some Quanzhen sword techniques and internal energy cultivation methods, allowing them to preserve the Quanzhen spirit and lay the foundation for Wudang’s future prosperity.

The young disciples were naturally extremely grateful. The Quanzhen martial arts, passed down to their generation, had many deficiencies, and with the current high-ranking members keeping secrets, they hadn’t learned many techniques completely.

Zu An then spoke privately with Zhang Junbao, “I have some of Wang Chongyang’s Innate Skill here that’s very suitable for you, would you like to learn it?”

Besides the Nine Yin Manual, Wang Chongyang had also inscribed some Innate Skill methods in the Ancient Tomb.

Hearing that it was the martial arts of the former number one martial artist, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Junbao was naturally willing to learn, but he immediately worried that secretly learning another school’s secret manual might be problematic.

Zu An laughed, “Don’t worry, if Wang Chongyang were alive, he certainly wouldn’t want to see the Quanzhen Sect in its current state. If you can promote his martial arts, he’d be overjoyed. However, there’s a drawback to practicing this martial art: one must remain a virgin for life, unable to marry.” The reason

Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying couldn’t be together was not only due to their pride and unwillingness to admit defeat, but also related to this Innate Skill.

It’s known that Duan Zhixing, the Southern Emperor of the Five Greats, initially had many favored concubines, but after practicing this skill, he became averse to women, leading to Ying Gu’s infidelity, and he himself became a monk.

Zhang Junbao was startled upon hearing this, a bright young girl subconsciously appearing in his mind.

But then he thought, “Miss Guo only likes Brother Yang, why would she care about me, her little brother? ” He

then declared loudly, “I am devoted to the Dao, why should I marry and have children?”

Zu An, remembering that Zhang Sanfeng remained a virgin for life in both history and Jin Yong’s world, passed on the incantations of the Innate Skill to him.

He didn’t complete the manual, knowing that with Zhang Junbao’s talent, he was capable of gleaning deeper insights from these techniques, and the inspiration generated in the process would allow him to create even more martial arts.

Zhang Junbao quickly memorized the formulas, and while expressing his gratitude, he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Yang, has Miss Guo been looking for you all these years?”

The two had met at Shaolin Temple over a decade ago; Guo Xiang had been searching for Yang Guo and had casually given him a set of Arhat dolls.

He had learned some Shaolin martial arts from them, but what he found most unforgettable was her bright smile.

“I know.” Looking at Zhang Junbao, Zu An sighed inwardly. In the original story, Guo Xiang accepted her defeat to Xiaolongnü wholeheartedly, regretting that she hadn’t met Yang Guo sooner, otherwise she could have been his Dalongnü, protecting and caring for him, and perhaps the two could have been together.

But she had actually already met another Yang Guo, only she hadn’t realized it, giving up the opportunity to be Dalongnü.

Seeing Tingxue standing there like an ice-cold fairy, Zhang Junbao felt somewhat relieved. After thanking Zu’an repeatedly, he led his Quanzhen friends on their journey to Wudang Mountain.

The young man of today naturally couldn’t imagine that he would one day create the Pure Yang Limitless Skill based on parts of the *Xiantian Gong* and *Nine Yang Manual*, becoming a grandmaster who carried on the legacy.

“Why were you so good to him?” Tingxue asked curiously after everyone left.

Zu’an said in a deep voice, “There’s a nearly eighty-year gap between the worlds of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* and *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*. During this time, the old and new Five Greats passed away one after another. Coupled with the Mongol rule, the martial arts world was naturally chaotic. When later generations mention Zhang Sanfeng’s sixty-year campaign against demons, it likely refers to those sixty years when Zhang Sanfeng used the Zhenwu Sword to sweep away the demons. Naturally, his martial arts couldn’t be weakened.”

He had now figured out the solution to this trial. This world was actually incomplete; he had to fill in the gaps to bring the entire timeline back to the original plot.

Other trial participants, lacking knowledge of the world’s background, were unable to pass the trial, even those with extraordinary intelligence.
