Chapter 26 The Wisdom of Descendants
Chapter 26 The Wisdom of Descendants
After Cheng Kun woke up, he heard someone say:
"I'll rest for a while before practicing these sixth and seventh levels of the cultivation technique. Don't rush me, have some fruit first!"
Xiao Zhao hummed in agreement, sat down beside him, and began eating wild fruit.
Sixth or seventh floor...
How long has it been? And you've already reached the fifth level?
Cheng Kun had been around for so long and had never believed in ghosts or gods, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel horrified!
He thought Qi Ming was a ghost, possessed by Yang Dingtian, who was using him to seek revenge and take his life!
But that's not the case, of course.
This is a characteristic of the Nine Yang Divine Skill; no matter what kind of martial art it is, as long as you learn it, you can easily master it.
According to the book's setting, the creator of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth was only at the sixth level; as for the seventh level, it was merely a theoretical concept.
But Zhang Wuji managed to handle it.
Besides those two, no one else has been able to reach level six or higher.
The eighth-generation leader of the Zhong Cult only reached the fifth level, and died that very day from a qi deviation.
Yang Dingtian's talent was not low, but his wife's infidelity caused him to go astray and stop at the fourth level.
In fact, based on the original work, Qi Ming felt that this martial art was really not very good.
Of course, one could also say that Zhang Wuji was incompetent.
Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of Light, was able to handle the attack of the Five Wanderers with ease even after only reaching the second level of his cultivation.
Zhang Wuji is already on the seventh floor, and he's still dawdling.
That's just his personality.
This martial art, which involves shifting and reconciling emotions and conflicts, is highly compatible with him and is his specialty.
But to truly shift the "universe" and change the world is beyond his capabilities.
Therefore, Qi Ming is not very interested in the original version.
However, the film version is actually quite good, serving two main purposes.
One is teleportation.
Secondly, it involves moving objects remotely.
Note that this "object" is not just swords and weapons.
Even Xiao Zhao's underwear, he could remotely move to his own hands.
Of course, our Doflamingo isn't a pervert and wouldn't do that, because he'd rather use his mouth. So he asked curiously:
"Xiao Zhao, I really want to know, who exactly are you? What's troubling you?"
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head:
"This... Brother Ming, I... I can't tell!"
"What can't I say? Do you think I'll abandon you if you tell me? Just tell me, and I'll figure something out for you."
"...You promise you won't be angry after you hear that."
"I swear to God, I will never be angry with Xiao Zhao in my life."
"My mother is the Purple-Robed Dragon King, and now she travels the world as Granny Golden Flower."
"..."
Under Qi Ming's bewildered gaze, Xiao Zhao said with a helpless expression:
"My mother was a holy maiden of the Ming Cult's Persian headquarters. She was sent by her superiors to the Central Plains for exchanges, but in reality, she wanted to steal the Great Shift of the Universe manual! In the end, she failed and eloped with my father, betraying the Ming Cult..."
She then grabbed Qi Ming's arm, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:
"Over the years, my mother has always been worried that the Persian headquarters would send people to capture her and burn her alive."
Qi Ming then "realized" and said the following for her:
"So you're the one who came to help her steal this secret manual, so she can atone for her mistake?"
Hearing this, Cheng Kun was both envious and furious, and said:
"Damn you, God! You've been so unfair to me! Others get things effortlessly, but what about me? Decades of scheming and hard work, all for nothing! I hate you so much, I want to kill you!"
Qi Ming, seemingly out of place, asked, "Why did your junior sister commit suicide for love?"
Cheng Kun retorted angrily, "Damn it, she didn't commit suicide for love, she had no feelings for Yang Dingtian, you're not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Before his death, Yang Dingtian said to Cheng Kun's junior sister: I have your body, but I cannot have your heart.
This must be true.
But Qi Ming deliberately said, "Then why did she commit suicide? She would rather die, rather die out of guilt, than go with you, and she wouldn't accept your love. What does that show? She doesn't care about your self-righteous love. She's just worried that you'll mess around and tell her husband, so she has to pretend to be nice to you."
"puff……"
Cheng Kun was so angry that he vomited blood.
But where is this from the beginning?
Qi Ming continued his sarcasm: "If you truly love her, you shouldn't stop her from going to someone stronger than you."
This is the wisdom of later generations.
Cheng Kun caused so much trouble after his junior sister was married off.
If she marries him, what will he do if he discovers decades later that the children are not his own?
It's likely to cause the destruction of the world.
"You little thief! You little beast!"
Cheng Kun could still move his voice, but he didn't have the strength to bite his tongue and commit suicide, so he could only shout and curse:
"You'll definitely suffer a terrible death! You and that girl will never have a good ending!"
After being toyed with by Zhang Wuji in the movie, Huo Gong Tou Tuo also cursed him and Xiao Zhao in this way.
It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But Qi Ming wasn't Zhang Wuji; he put his arm around Xiao Zhao's shoulder and comforted her with a smile:
"It's just a simple shift in the universe, nothing special. Just memorize it, write it down in a book, and give it to your mother to show her."
The word "mother" is very common in Jin Yong's books.
Yang Guo also called Ouyang Feng "father".
Xiao Zhaoqian laughed and said, "Brother Ming, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Not good?"
Qi Ming waved his hand dismissively: "I saved the Ming Cult from the brink of death, and you can't even give me a copy of the Great Shift of the Universe? Take it without hesitation! At worst, we'll just stop saving them and let the Ming Cult be wiped out. Then, who cares if you take it or not?"
Xiao Zhao threw herself into his arms, her tears turning into laughter:
"You're going to be the cult leader, and if I take it now, will you blame me if you regret it later?"
Qi Ming chuckled and said, "I'll only blame you for not taking it! This Ghostly Heart Technique isn't very powerful, but it's extremely dangerous. Once you reach the fifth level, you're likely to die instantly. I hope everyone in the Persian headquarters cultivates it, so they won't have time to send some holy maiden to boss us around!"
"Is it really that dangerous? Then you shouldn't practice on the next two floors either!"
"I am protected by the Nine Yang Divine Skill, so I will be in no danger."
"What if my mom wants to...?"
"If I become the leader, I will welcome her anytime."
"Brother Ming, you're the best!"
"..."
Dai Qisi was a great beauty, with an exotic charm.
Qi Ming naturally wanted to get to know him.
Outside the Holy Tomb.
The Emei Sect did not possess the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and He Taichong was hesitant to act due to his wife's arrest, which had a significant impact on the six major sects.
Meanwhile, the Ming Cult...
Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, was not hit by the sword energy of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and his strength remained intact.
The Five Elements Flags in the movie version have been significantly enhanced; they are no longer just extras, but possess formidable fighting power.
However, in terms of overall strength, the six major sects are still stronger.
Therefore, as the sun was about to set, the people of the six major sects had already stormed Bright Peak and entered the Sacred Flame Hall.
After another round of clanging and clattering, Bat King Wei Yixiao and Eagle King Yin Tianzheng could no longer withstand it.
Wei Yixiao's lightness skill is superb, but in this situation, he can't just run away!
However, his Frosty Palm technique also has a major flaw: it cannot sustain a prolonged battle.
The Five Heroes of Wudang, Abbess Miejue, and especially the monks of Shaolin, are all very skilled fighters.
It's not surprising that they couldn't hold out with just two Dharma Kings.
