Chapter 24

A day later, Zhang Jie, who had been panting and repairing the martial arts arena overnight, found Yu Lianzhou.

"What? You say you want to go down the mountain to travel?"

Yu Lianzhou, who had always been stern, couldn't help but raise his volume after hearing Zhang Jie's words.

"Yes, disciple feels that I have learned almost everything I should learn on the mountain.

Staying any longer is just a waste of time, so I might as well go down the mountain to walk the world and accumulate experience."

Zhang Jie answered honestly.

Yu Lianzhou heard this and felt it made some sense; not many experts were cultivated by closing their doors and building cars.

Sometimes a moment of enlightenment while walking the Jianghu is worth ten years of hard cultivation on the mountain.

Even the seven heroes of Wudang, who had the personal guidance of the world's number one Zhang Zhenren, all had the experience of going down the mountain to travel.

However, thinking that Zhang Jie had never been down the mountain in the past ten years, Yu Lianzhou couldn't help but worry:

"You grew up on the mountain since you were a child and have no experience walking the Jianghu; how can this master be at ease?"

"Why don't you wait until your sixth junior uncle returns to the mountain, and then go down the mountain with him?"

Yu Lianzhou thought for a while and proposed this idea.

"Master, you also know that I cannot bear constraints and am used to being alone."

Zhang Jie politely declined Yu Lianzhou's proposal.

He planned to go to Mount Kunlun to find Zhang Wuji and learn the "Nine Yang Divine Art" this time when he went down the mountain.

If he followed the sixth junior uncle Yin Liting, how could he go?

He couldn't say he had foresight, could he?

Speaking of which, Zhang Jie was drooling over the "Nine Yang Divine Art."

Although he had already practiced the promising "Wudang Nine Yang Art,"

the "Wudang Nine Yang Art" was ultimately only a part of the "Nine Yang Divine Art" adapted.

In those years, Master Jueyuan of Western Shaolin Temple accidentally obtained the "Nine Yang True Scripture" hidden in the "Lankavatara Sutra,"

and began to study it, and his martial arts advanced greatly.

And he was also chased by Yin Kexi and Xiaoxiangzi for carrying the "Nine Yang True Scripture," escaping to the top of Huashan,

and finally, with the help of Yang Guo, Guo Xiang, and others, defeated Yin Kexi and Xiaoxiangzi.

Unfortunately, Master Jueyuan was also running out of time due to excessive consumption at that time.

Before passing away, he recited the scriptures of the "Nine Yang True Scripture" once.

Zhang Zhenren (then named Zhang Junbao), Guo Xiang, and others each memorized part of the scriptures of the "Nine Yang True Scripture" on the side.

Zhang Zhenren later combined the memorized scriptures with his own understanding of martial arts,

integrated and improved the content of the "Nine Yang True Scripture," and founded the Wudang Nine Yang Art.

And Guo Xiang also created the Emei Nine Yang Art based on part of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Although the "Wudang Nine Yang Art" was pure and broad under the modification of Zhang Zhenren, whose martial arts were becoming increasingly profound,

it ultimately lacked part of the pure Yang power of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

After Zhang Wuji was injured by the Xuanming Divine Palm of the Xuanming Elders,

even with Zhang Zhenren's cultivation of nearly a hundred years, he could only suppress it briefly,

and could not completely resolve the cold poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm with the "Wudang Nine Yang Art,"

letting the young Zhang Wuji suffer from the cold poison.

It was not until Zhang Wuji learned the full version of the "Nine Yang Divine Art" that the cold poison was completely resolved.

And the Wudang Nine Yang Art, as an orthodox Daoist technique,

although it has positive effects such as purity, greatness, neutrality, peace, and longevity,

it also has the biggest problem with this type of technique, which is slow progress.

On the whole Mount Wudang, except for Zhang Zhenren, even Yu Lianzhou, who was

the most profound in martial arts, had not practiced the Wudang Nine Yang Art to great success.

You must know that these seven heroes of Wudang had been practicing the Wudang Nine Yang Divine Art

since they were admitted to Zhang Zhenren's sect, and it had been almost thirty years now.

Even if Zhang Jie considered himself to have extraordinary talent after sharing with Water Margin Zhang Jie,

if he wanted to practice the Wudang Nine Yang Art to great success, he couldn't even think about it without ten years.

And how long did it take from Zhang Wuji getting the Nine Yang Divine Art to practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art to great success?

The answer is five years!

Even if Zhang Wuji had the foundation of practicing the Wudang Nine Yang Art before,

the time required for the Nine Yang Divine Art to be successful was still too short!

And, mentioning the Wudang Nine Yang Art, Zhang Jie, an old driver who had been practicing for more than ten years,

would be afraid of a young man like Zhang Wuji who had only been practicing for three or four years?

The huge gap in practice time made Zhang Jie abandon the Wudang Nine Yang Divine Art without hesitation and choose to throw himself into the embrace of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Wudang Nine Yang Art: When you first met me, you called me Little Sweetie.

Now that the newcomer has defeated the old one, you call me Madam Niu.

You scumbag, I spit on you~

Zhang Jie spread his hands: It's not that the Wudang Nine Yang Art is bad,

but the cost-effectiveness of the Nine Yang Divine Art is too high; it's too fragrant and too tempting!

As for Zhang Jie not knowing the specific location of the Kunlun valley, how to find Zhang Wuji?

Although The Heaven-Dependent World does not record the location of the valley where the "Nine Yang Divine Art" is hidden,

it records how Zhang Wuji found the Nine Yang Divine Art:

Zhang Wuji was deceived by Zhu Changling and his daughter at the Zhu Wu Linked Manor in Kunlun Mountain,

and after learning the truth that his parents were killed, he was disheartened and took the initiative to jump off a ten-thousand-foot cliff.

Fortunately, he was intercepted by a pine tree on the cliff and was not seriously injured.

There was a stone cave on the cliff, and he passed through the stone cave, entered the secluded valley,

and discovered the "Nine Yang Divine Art" hidden in the belly of a pale ape,

and practiced in the secluded valley for five years, curing the Xuanming cold poison in his body.

Zhang Jie now only needs to find the Zhu Wu Linked Manor,

and then follow the clues to find the Nine Yang Divine Art!

The reason why Zhang Jie didn't go to find the Nine Yang Divine Art by himself first was also here:

There are so many cliffs near the Zhu Wu Linked Manor, heaven knows which one Zhang Wuji jumped off.

In such a large range of cliffs, looking for a cave that can only be passed through by

an eleven or twelve-year-old child, what is the difference from finding a needle in a haystack?

And now, according to the time calculation, Zhang Wuji still has more than a year before he will practice the Nine Yang Divine Art to great success,

he is still in the valley, as long as he goes to the edge of the cliff and shouts with internal strength, he will likely find Zhang Wuji.

At the same time, Zhang Jie guessed that the Kunlun valley was very likely a

heaven and earth mystical realm similar to the Immortal Spring Valley in Tian Long Ba Bu,

which contained mysterious energy such as heaven and earth spiritual energy.

The answer is Zhang Wuji, who practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art to great success in five years,

and that white ape who lived for more than a hundred years and had intelligence comparable to a four or five-year-old child.

Even if Zhang Wuji really had extraordinary talent and was a child of luck who appeared once in a hundred years,

but he practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art to great success in just five years, it was still too terrifying.

You must know that the last one who was once in a hundred or even a thousand years, "others practice martial arts, he cultivates immortality," Zhang Zhenren,

was also over thirty years old when he was invincible in the world.

And Zhang Wuji?

The answer is in his twenties.

At the age of 20, he fought a decisive battle at Bright Peak, defeating experts from the six major sects of Western Shaolin, Wudang, Emei,

Kunlun, Kongdong, and Huashan alone, becoming famous in the world in one battle,

and served as the leader of the Ming Sect at the age of twenty, making millions of Ming Sect followers return to him,

ending the situation of the Ming Sect being torn apart for many years.

Later, relying on his own superb martial arts talent, he successively integrated the Nine Yang Divine Art,

Universe Great Shift, Taiji Fist, Taiji Sword, and Holy Fire Order Divine Art, and other

many world-covering martial arts into one, and has been invincible in the world since then.

This upgrade speed is simply terrifying.

And that hundred-year-old white ape who drank mountain spring water when thirsty and ate wild fruits when hungry is even more of a miracle.

You must know that the lifespan of a monkey is difficult to exceed fifty years.

Small monkeys like pygmy marmosets have a lifespan of about 10-12 years.

Medium-sized monkeys like macaques have an average lifespan of about 25-30 years.

Under good artificial feeding conditions, some macaques can live to be over 30 years old.

Large monkeys like orangutans have relatively long lifespans, which can reach about 35-45 years.

That white ape who lived over a hundred years is simply the old star among the old stars of monkeys.

This is like in a population that can only live to be seventy or eighty,

suddenly an ancestor who lived to be over two hundred years old appeared.

This is no longer extraordinary talent, but transcending the limitations of the original genes!

Excluding the monkey's own problems, the only possibility is that what it eats, drinks,

and even the air it breathes has magical substances that can prolong life.

Zhang Jie rubbed his hands like a fly when he thought of this:

This kind of treasure land is destined to have a relationship with me, Zhang Jie!

In the end, Yu Lianzhou, who couldn't be persuaded, agreed to Zhang Jie's idea of going down the mountain alone.

Of course, this was also a decision he made after considering Zhang Jie's internal strength and light martial arts, which were enough to tease Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu is not a nobody,

he is a young talent among the younger generation of the world's martial arts, known in the Jianghu as Jade-Faced Meng Chang.

Zhang Jie can tease him until he has no power to fight back,

which shows that Zhang Jie's martial arts can already rival the older generation of the Jianghu.

With such martial arts, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he will almost never encounter danger.

And Yu Lianzhou knows his disciple very well:

How should I put it about this disciple of mine?

He is too cautious, to the point where it can almost be said he is a coward.

Of course, in Zhang Jie's words, this is not called cowardice, but following one's heart...
