Chapter 1000: Nandou White Bird (13200 Supplement)

Staring at the severed arm on the ground, Xu Yuan's thoughts could not help but return to half a month ago.

……

On Baiyun Mountain.

Xu Yuan looked at his Master's back, unable to understand why his Master liked gazing at the Moon so much.

"Yuan-yuan… don't you think these three Moons are very strange? Why are there three Moons?"

Aaron stood with his back to Xu Yuan and asked a question.

"They are our satellites, formed by the gravitational pull of the planet itself… As for why? Shouldn't there have been three Moons to begin with?"

"Master…" Xu Yuan suddenly raised his head: "Then the Grandmaster… must not have lived long, right?"

"It seems… that white bird fused different Weirds into one furnace…" Xu Yuan speculated.

To them, the fact that there were three Moons was a theorem, just like the sun rising from the east or water flowing to lower ground!

The bird's head suddenly transformed into a Weird head, green-faced and fanged, incomparably ferocious; its hair wriggled strand by strand, resembling translucent worms.

Aaron asked solemnly: "Can you see any clues?"

The competition of the supernatural had begun!

Xu Yuan complained inwardly, but the next moment, his eyes were drawn to the drawing on the ancient scroll!

"Enter the Colorless Meditation!"

"I am certain!"

"Very well… since you have decided to accommodate different Ghost Puzzles, you cannot learn those secret transmissions aimed at a single type of Weird…" Aaron said: "You can only learn general-purpose fist techniques for suppressing Weirds… As it happens, I have a set of 'Ghost Controlling Fist' here; although it only has four incomplete forms, it is enough for you to use in the early stages. As for the later stages… you can go to the Sky Net Bureau to look for the rest…"

"So… is there a way to control Weirds without using Ghost Controlling Fist?" Xu Yuan's eyes lit up.

He stretched out his hand, and a bloodstain appeared on his palm.

Xu Yuan sighed: "Accommodating one Weird is already so dangerous, yet the Grandmaster actually did it so many times?"

Swish!

A large amount of dark red blood flowed down, devoid of any warmth, wrapping around the two Ghost Hands.

"In fact, this disciple almost died too…"

A look of bewilderment appeared on Xu Yuan's face: "What… kind of bird is that?"

Slap!

Aaron slammed the scroll shut, looked at Xu Yuan, and said with a chuckle: "I don't even dare to look at this scroll passed down by the Grandmaster too much… Several experts of the White Bird Fist in the past went mad just from looking at this painting. However, you are a Grandmaster-level expert with strong mental cultivation, so there shouldn't be any problem…"

"Sigh… I spoke to you in vain."

"Kneel!"

Xu Yuan knelt down as if by reflex.

"No… the Grandmaster enjoyed a ripe old age of eighty, living without illness or disaster until he passed away with a smile… That was considered a long life in that era. Counting it up, he had been a Ghost Controlling practitioner for about forty years, I suppose…" Aaron shook his head and said.

Xu Yuan felt something and pricked up his ears to listen.

"Not bad!" Aaron nodded repeatedly: "The Grandmaster was just an ordinary person back then. By a stroke of luck, he controlled a Weird fragment, but he didn't want to die, so he had a sudden inspiration… If he introduced another Weird fragment to create a tug-of-war, could it extend his lifespan? This is the origin of our sect's 'Balance Path'. You know what happened later…"

He heard his Master's unhurried voice: "Now you know, ancient martial arts were originally created to screen for Grandmasters capable of resisting Weirds! Although the founder of our White Bird Fist was not a Grandmaster, he had encountered Weirds and could be considered that type of lucky Ghost Controlling practitioner!"

Cold sweat seeped from Xu Yuan's forehead; he felt as if those ink-black lines had lives of their own, constantly combining, wriggling, and even splitting…

Aaron's expression was grave: "Our Formless White Bird Fist is only a small school of martial arts, but tonight… you will come into contact with the Supreme mystery of our sect!"

Mastering the ghost blood to suppress the two Ghost Hands that had just begun to revive was something Xu Yuan could still do easily.

"Submit! Submit! Submit!"

At the same time, Xu Yuan began to meditate fiercely on the 'Nandou White Bird Diagram' he had seen earlier!

"Nandou White Bird, appear!"

Xu Yuan's arm suddenly turned a dark blue-black, with blood vessels bulging on it; this was him attempting to use the fundamental diagram as a core to balance the two major Weirds.

"Even so, because various Ghost Puzzles are incomplete, forcing them to integrate will lead to chaos… Therefore, the Nandou White Bird Diagram is the core, the target of transformation, and the key, acting as an integration effect." Xu Yuan's eyes lit up: "The Grandmaster was truly a genius!"

"Forget it, these are all desperate methods, forced into a dead end with no other choice… Most of the experts in our sect who tried to play with balance died miserable deaths… On the contrary, those orthodox Ghost Martial Arts Grandmaster lineages can generally live until their natural end."

Ordinary people lack the mental cultivation of a Grandmaster and do not understand Ghost Controlling fist techniques, so the Weirds within their bodies easily revive, or even leak from their seals, slaughtering their loved ones and causing tragedies!

Xu Yuan arrived at the place where Liu Bai had died.

Xu Yuan followed and walked into a thatched cottage.

"Not bad… you are very smart!"

"Drink!"

……

And the next moment, he let the ghost blood envelop those two Ghost Hands and sink into his own body!

Aaron, with a tobacco pouch tucked into his waistband, looked incomparably solemn at this moment and shouted.

'Does that mean I have been an improper disciple all this time?'

What had attracted him at first was the Weird aura on the painting!

This painting might be a supernatural object just like the Red Tassel Spear, or at the very least, it was tainted with a very deep supernatural aura!

The ancient, yellowed scroll opened, and with brushstrokes resembling a child's graffiti, it depicted a bird… flapping its wings to fly high?

'No… that is not… a bird!'

Aaron shook his head, his expression solemn: "Are you sure… you want to walk this path?"

"This is the fundamental diagram passed down through generations of our White Bird Sect, and it is also the Supreme pursuit of our lineage's fist techniques—the Nandou White Bird Diagram!"

"Devouring and accommodating ten thousand Ghost Puzzles to form the Nandou White Bird of our sect? Is this… forming a brand-new Weird?"

Aaron walked toward the thatched cottage with his hands behind his back in the moonlight: "Come in…"

Xu Yuan answered this way, for after all, he and everyone around him had grown up watching the three Moons since childhood.

Aaron came to the side of the offering table and slowly opened an ancient hanging scroll: "This is the fundamental diagram passed down personally by the Founder... Only after you obtain this diagram can you be considered a proper successor of our sect!"

"There is no other way; the Founder was not a Grandmaster back then, so he had no choice but to risk his life," Aaron sighed. "The Nandou White Bird Diagram is the path the Founder once successfully walked... obtaining different puzzle pieces from various Weirds to assemble into one's own thing... Take note, you must absolutely never obtain multiple puzzle pieces from a single Weird, otherwise the Balance will be broken, and all the Weirds will immediately revive..."

Even its claws seemed like tiger claws yet not tiger claws, and also like the claws of the Legendary flood dragon!

Within the body of the white bird, there were even more large quantities of inexplicable things, transforming into all sorts of Weirds, assaulting Xu Yuan's senses!

This even resonated with the Weird blood inside his body, letting Xu Yuan deeply understand that these Weirds had all truly existed once, and had left their respective information on the diagram...

The two Ghost Hands were still wriggling slightly, evidently having lost their host and currently in the process of constant revival.

Xu Yuan no longer hesitated.

He spread his hands wide, resembling a giant white bird, and set his fist stance.

The colorless meditative state was like a furnace, and his spirit was like fire!

In his Meditation, the Nandou White Bird seemed to come alive; that pair of Weird arms fell into the position of the bird's claws, and one by one, the fingers twisted, deformed, and grew pitch-black, sharp nails...
