Chapter 116: The Yellow Emperor

In the blink of an eye, the three little ones, including Xiao Wuyou, were already one year old.

Having just made a super-sized birthday cake for the three little ones and letting them happily finish their first birthday, Duan Fengyun was also ready to begin his plan.

Although at this stage, no matter how hard they tried or practiced martial arts, they could not be a match for Di Shitian, Duan Fengyun still did not want to be a lamb.

He decided to go to Lingyun Cave to search for the Ten Strong Martial Arts that Nie Feng had found in the television series.

He remembered that the television series had once said:

"It is rumored that the Ten Strong Martial Artist Wu Wudi summarized and integrated the Ten Strong Martial Arts to create his own martial arts, which are composed of the external skills of the Ten Strong Martial Arts and the Xuanwu Internal Energy."

And Nie Feng had even comprehended the advanced move 'Ten Directions Invincible' in Lingyun Cave: blade, spear, sword, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, claw, and finger.

Duan Fengyun was still thinking about whether he should bring Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang along.

Thinking back to when he had become demonic in the past and how the three of them had spared no effort, willing to sacrifice their own lives to bring him back, he could not help but despise himself a little.

So he decided that this time, he would go to Lingyun Cave together with the three of them to search for the Ten Strong Martial Arts.

He had been back and forth to Lingyun Cave so many times, yet he had never discovered the trace of the Ten Strong Martial Arts.

Since it was Nie Feng who found the Ten Strong Martial Arts in the original work, perhaps this lifetime still required Nie Feng to step up.

He found Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun and said:

"Shuang, Feng, Yun, I have a plan; I want to make a trip to Lingyun Cave."

Qin Shuang asked in confusion:

"Junior Brother Duan, are you going to Lingyun Cave to handle some business?"

Duan Fengyun had already thought of his wording and replied:

"Recently, I feel that the Dragon Vein in my body has been heating up, and at night, I keep dreaming of Lingyun Cave.

I feel that this is the Dragon Vein sending me a dream, telling me that there is something in Lingyun Cave calling to me."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as these words left his mouth, they broke Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun out in a cold sweat.

Nie Feng spoke up:

"Junior Brother Duan, are you sure it isn't the Dragon Vein giving you a warning?

That was exactly what you said when you were in Dongying!

And what happened? What did we find?

The Yamata no Orochi!"

Duan Fengyun rubbed his head embarrassedly and said:

"Brother Feng, don't worry, there won't be any problems this time.

The Dragon Vein has been in Lingyun Cave for so long, and I now have the Yellow Emperor Sword in hand; I will not fall into the Demonic Path again."

Hearing Duan Fengyun's reply, the three of them tentatively believed his words.

But just in case, Qin Shuang said:

"Junior Brother Duan, I am still worried about your safety alone!

I will accompany you on this trip!"

Bu Jingyun said:

"The Jianghu is peaceful now, and the four of us haven't traveled together in a long time. Why don't we all go together? Junior Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Nie Feng nodded and replied:

"I have the same thought. Let the four of us go to Lingyun Cave together."

"Good, then it's settled. We will each go back to explain, then set off tomorrow morning, and try to return as soon as possible."

Duan Fengyun said.

In fact, even if Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun didn't go, he would have tried every possible way to make them go; after all, this was a rare opportunity to improve their strength.

Duan Fengyun returned to his room, picked up Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo, kissed them each, and then said to Youruo:

"I am going to Lingyun Cave with Brother Shuang and the others, and I will be back very soon.

You take good care of Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo at home; I will make you something delicious when I return."

Youruo, who had been happily teasing the two little ones, instantly darkened her face and snapped at Duan Fengyun:

"Tell me, what are you planning to go do this time?"

Duan Fengyun said with a cheeky grin:

"It's really nothing, I'll be back soon."

Youruo knew that once Duan Fengyun had made a decision, it could not be changed, so she replied helplessly:

"Fine, be careful.

Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo will be waiting for their father to come back and make them something delicious."

Duan Fengyun walked out of the door holding Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo, and at this moment, Qin Shuang and the others, who had gone to ask for leave, also walked out of their respective rooms.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, understanding that everyone had made their arrangements.

Nie Feng and Qin Shuang took Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo from Duan Fengyun's hands.

The two had been married for a year, but the bellies of Ding Ning and Di Er Meng still showed no signs of pregnancy.

Therefore, the three little ones became the focus of the group, and Ding Ning and Di Er Meng had to carry the three little ones around everywhere every day.

According to the plan, the four of them quietly left Duanqing Ju early the next morning.

The four of them were already too familiar with the road to Lingyun Cave.

Soon, the four of them arrived at Lingyun Cave on horseback.

The four of them tied their horses outside and walked into Lingyun Cave, familiar with the path.

Although they hadn't been here for a long time, Lingyun Cave was still as incredibly scorching as it was in the memories of the four.

In the dark, it was as if everything were fate; the four of them soon arrived at a fork in the road.

And this fork happened to have exactly four paths, matching the number of the four people.

Duan Fengyun had entered Lingyun Cave several times, but had never encountered these four paths; it seemed it truly was destiny.

Duan Fengyun proposed:

"It seems this is all destiny; these four paths are the same number as us four.

It appears Heaven wants us four to each go and seek our own opportunities, so let us each choose one path."

"Fine, then let us each choose a path.

I choose the one on the far left!"

Bu Jingyun spoke up.

"Then I choose the one on the far right!"

Nie Feng also decided on his own path.

"Then I choose the second one from the left!"

Qin Shuang also made his choice.

Duan Fengyun had no other choice; only the third path remained.

"Fellow junior brothers, if there is any danger, withdraw in time.

This Lingyun Cave is intricate and complex; I estimate we certainly won't be able to return the way we came later, so once we have each found our own opportunities, or if we find nothing at all, we shall all gather at the cave entrance.

If you encounter danger, you must retreat in time; you must not try to be a hero."

As the eldest brother of the three, Qin Shuang displayed the dignity expected of an elder brother at this moment.

"Understood, Shuang."

"Then let us separate here; see you all at the cave entrance!"

After the four had agreed, they each walked toward their chosen paths.

Duan Fengyun walked along the third path; it was somewhat long, and after walking for a while, he finally reached the end.

At the end, he saw a mural.

This mural was different from the two Kirin Paintings he had seen before; this was a painting of a divine dragon.

And the divine dragon in the mural was exactly the same as the divine dragon passed down by word of mouth in Duan Fengyun's previous life.

Beside the divine dragon stood a towering man, holding a precious sword in his hand.

The sword in the man's hand looked very familiar to Duan Fengyun; he drew the Yellow Emperor Sword from his back to look, and sure enough, the sword in the painting was indeed the Yellow Emperor Sword.

And at this moment, the Dragon Vein in Duan Fengyun's spine began to react.

Duan Fengyun discovered with surprise that the man in the portrait was actually smiling at him.

Duan Fengyun stared fixedly at the man in the mural; after the man's gaze met Duan Fengyun's, Duan Fengyun fainted.

The unconscious Duan Fengyun's Consciousness arrived in a room, and a man was sitting on a seat inside the room.

Duan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Fengyun looked at the man's appearance and found it was exactly the same as the man in the mural just now.

The man smiled slightly at Duan Fengyun:

"Duan Fengyun, hello."

Duan Fengyun looked at the mysterious man before him and asked politely:

"Senior, hello.

May I ask who you are, and where is this place?"

The mysterious person smiled:

"This is the world within the mural you saw earlier, and my name is Yellow Emperor!"

"If following the terms of your previous life, I should be the Xuanyuan Huangdi passed down by word of mouth among you!"

After hearing the Yellow Emperor's reply, even though Duan Fengyun was knowledgeable and experienced, he could not help but feel his legs tremble.

He never imagined that the mysterious man before him was actually Xuanyuan Huangdi.

As descendants of the Flame and Yellow Emperors, in terms of lineage, the person before him was his own Patriarch.

Duan Fengyun hurriedly bowed:

"Duan Fengyun greets Senior Yellow Emperor!"

The Yellow Emperor waved his hands and helped Duan Fengyun up; the Yellow Emperor said:

"The Dragon Vein and the Yellow Emperor Sword are both objects I left in the Human Realm; since they both chose you, it means you and I have a connection.

Now I will impart to you the War Sword Art, the sword technique that complements the Yellow Emperor Sword.

Relying on the power of the War Sword Art and the mutual reinforcement of the Yellow Emperor Sword, you should be unable to find an opponent in the Human Realm."

Duan Fengyun asked:

"Then Senior, what if the enemy has already transcended the category of humans?"

The Yellow Emperor replied:

"This set of sword techniques was created when I was in the Human Realm, so it can only dominate the Human Realm.

If you face those like demigods who exceed the category of humans, relying on the War Sword Art to save your life should not be a problem."

After speaking, a Yellow Emperor Sword manifested in Xuanyuan Huangdi's hand.

Xuanyuan Huangdi said:

"Junior, watch carefully!"

Xuanyuan Huangdi held the Yellow Emperor Sword and began to demonstrate.

This set of Sword Art is, so far, the most exquisite move Duan Fengyun possesses besides the Demonic Blade.

The strength of the Demonic Blade lies not in its moves, but in its user; the deeper the user falls into the demonic path, the more powerful the Demonic Blade becomes.

However, Duan Fengyun has already determined not to use the Demonic Blade lightly, and now with the appearance of the War Sword Art, one of Duan Fengyun's major ultimate moves has been compensated for.

Relying on his memory and comprehension, Duan Fengyun demonstrated the War Sword Art once before Xuanyuan Huangdi.

"Not bad, not bad; you are truly worthy of being the one chosen by the Yellow Emperor Sword and the Dragon Vein.

Duan Fengyun, you are indeed very good!"

Facing this ancestor of humanity, Duan Fengyun actually lowered his head in embarrassment.

If anyone else were here, they would likely be stunned to the point of dropping their jaws.

That Duan Fengyun, who has always had a face thicker than a city wall, would actually have a day where he felt shy—if told to others, they probably wouldn't believe it.

Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at the shy Duan Fengyun and said:

"Duan Fengyun, the reason I am teaching you the War Sword Art is that I hope you can properly guard the Dragon Vein and not let the Dragon Vein fall into the hands of petty villains."

Duan Fengyun looked at Xuanyuan Huangdi and replied righteously:

"Rest assured, Senior.

While the Dragon Vein exists, I exist; if the Dragon Vein perishes, I perish.

I shall live and die with the Dragon Vein."

"Good, then I can rest easy.

Duan Fengyun, we shall meet again if fate allows."

After speaking, Duan Fengyun felt his vision go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the front of that mural.

Duan Fengyun said to the mural:

"Yellow Emperor, Senior, please rest assured.

This junior will certainly guard the Dragon Vein well."

Duan Fengyun searched the surroundings, and after finding no other clues, he looked for the way out and left.

According to the agreement, he had to find the exit and then rendezvous with Nie Feng and the other two at the cave.
