22: Chapter 22 The Initial Transformation of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber World

Early morning on Wudang Mountain, clouds and mist swirled, and the Spiritual Qi was dense.

The vegetation in the mountains was more lush and verdant than usual, and even the streams in the mountain ravines carried a faint luster of Spiritual Qi.

Zhang Sanfeng took a deep breath, and the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into his body, circulating along his Meridians and merging with his own Pure Yang Dao Rhyme, flowing with incomparable smoothness.

He could clearly perceive that the Spiritual Vein of the entire Wudang Mountain was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the core of the Spiritual Vein on the main Peak, Tianzhu Peak, the concentration of Spiritual Qi had surged more than fivefold compared to three months ago.

Wudang Mountain, originally just an ordinary blessed land, was transforming into a true Daoist sanctuary of immortals.

On the nearby martial arts practice field, hundreds of Wudang Disciple were practicing in the morning.

Young Hero Song Qingshu led the Seven Little Heroes, taking the lead in practicing the Wudang Long Fist.

Each move and stance was smooth and seamless, and as their internal energy circulated, it carried a faint halo of Spiritual Qi.

In just a few short months, these seven youths had actually all broken through to the Peak of the Acquired Realm.

One must know that in the original work, those in the Jianghu who could step into the Innate Realm before the age of forty were already rare geniuses.

Yet now, among the third-generation Disciple of Wudang, teenagers were already touching the threshold of the Innate Realm.

On the other side of the practice field, Third Master Yu Daiyan was leading the Disciple in practicing the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

After his injuries healed, his state of mind reached Perfection, and his cultivation not only recovered to the Middle Stage of the Innate Realm from before his injury but was also steadily advancing toward the Peak of the Innate Realm.

Every move and stance carried the meaning of Taiji harmony.

Zhang Sanfeng looked at this scene, nodded slightly, and understood in his heart.

The surge in Spiritual Qi brought about by the increase in the world's Fusion degree was most intuitively reflected in these Disciple.

Realms that originally required ten years of bitter cultivation to break through could now be easily reached in three to five years, or even one or two years.

The overall strength of the entire Wudang Sect was rapidly increasing at a terrifying speed.

"Master!"

Seeing Zhang Sanfeng walking over, Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou immediately stepped forward and bowed in salute.

"How is the cultivation progress of the Disciple?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, looking at the Disciple on the practice field.

"Reporting to Master, it is truly advancing by leaps and bounds!" Song Yuanqiao's face was full of joy, and his tone was excited.

"In these three months, nearly twenty Disciple in the sect have broken through the Acquired Realm and stepped into the Innate Realm."

"Even among the third-generation Disciple, seven have broken through to the Peak of the Acquired Realm; this was something we dared not even imagine in the past!"

"It is not just the Disciple; we brothers have also benefited greatly."

Yu Lianzhou added, "The Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth is becoming increasingly dense, and our cultivation is yielding twice the result with half the effort."

"Eldest Brother and I have already touched the barrier of the Grandmaster Realm, and I believe it won't be long before we can officially break through."

"The other Junior Brothers have also broken through to the Peak of the Innate Realm, only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly.

He knew clearly in his heart that this was only the beginning.

As the world's Fusion degree continues to rise, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Yitian World will continue to surge, eventually reaching the Peak of a low-martial world.

By then, the Great Grandmaster Realm will no longer be a legend, and the martial arts level of the entire Jianghu will achieve a qualitative leap.

"It is not just us Wudang; the entire Jianghu has changed."

Song Yuanqiao continued, "These days, there are rumors everywhere in the Jianghu about people breaking through their Realms."

"The two Great Masters of Shaolin, Kongzhi and Kongxing, have both broken through Realms that had remained unchanged for years, stepping into the Peak of the Innate Realm;"

"Abbess Miejue of Emei, after her injuries healed, has also faintly touched the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm;"

"Even sects like the Beggar Sect, Kunlun, and Kongtong have had many Elders and Disciple break through one after another."

"Everyone in the Jianghu is saying that because you, Master, broke through the shackles of martial arts and saw through the barrier of life and death, you triggered the anomalies of Heaven and Earth, which caused the Luck of the entire Jianghu to change as well."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this.

He would not explain the truth of the world Fusion; having the Jianghu people think this way would instead better solidify Wudang's position and enhance his recognition in this world.

And what he wanted to do was to take advantage of the opportunity of the rising Spiritual Qi to completely perfect Wudang's martial arts System.

To let the Wudang Legacy truly take root in this world, so that even if he traveled through the heavens in the future, Wudang would remain prosperous and enduring.

For the next half month, Zhang Sanfeng remained behind closed doors.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, combining the full mastery of Wudang martial arts granted by the System and his perfect comprehension of the Tai Chi Great Dao, he reorganized and revised the entire Wudang martial arts System.

In the original work, Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts, while profound, had one problem—the threshold was too high.

Whether it was the Taiji Fist, Taiji Sword, Pure Yang Infinite Skill, or Wudang Nine Yang Skill, all required extremely high talent and state of mind to achieve success in cultivation.

This also resulted in the fact that below the Seven Heroes of Wudang, it was difficult for top-tier experts to emerge among the Wudang Disciple, and the inheritance of the Legacy had a clear gap.

And now, what Zhang Sanfeng wanted to do was to break this barrier.

He dismantled the Wudang Nine Yang Skill into three levels: Basic, Advanced, and Perfection.

The Basic level could be practiced by ordinary people without any martial arts Foundation to strengthen their bodies; the Advanced level corresponded to the cultivation of the Innate Realm, and the Perfection level corresponded to the cultivation of the Grandmaster Realm and Great Grandmaster Realm.

The Taiji Fist and Taiji Sword were also re-dismantled by him.

From the basic Taiji Thirteen Forms, to the advanced Taiji Freehand, and then to the Perfection of Taiji Sword Intent and Fist Intent, it progressed layer by layer.

Even Disciple with mediocre talent could follow the steps and Cultivate step-by-step, without the situation of stagnation.

Besides this, combining the Wudang Cotton Palm, Wudang Long Fist, Xuanxu Saber Technique, Tiger Claw Fatal Hand, and other martial arts, he revised a complete Wudang martial arts System.

From basic fist and foot techniques to Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique, to weapon martial arts, everything was complete and progressed layer by layer, forming a complete, inheritable martial arts pyramid that future generations could continue to improve upon this Foundation.

Half a month later, Zhang Sanfeng walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and handed the revised Wudang martial arts System to the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

When the Seven Heroes finished reading the revised martial arts manuals, they were all dumbfounded.

They were all people who had cultivated Wudang martial arts their entire lives, so they could naturally see that the martial arts revised by Master not only filled in all the original loopholes but also lowered the cultivation threshold to the extreme.

At the same time, it also retained the core essence and upper limit of Wudang martial arts.

This was already earth-shattering, reshaping the Wudang Legacy!

"Master... this of yours... is simply recreating Wudang!"

Holding the manual, Song Yuanqiao's hands were trembling, his voice choked with emotion, "With this martial arts System, our Wudang Legacy can be passed down forever!"

They knew in their hearts what this action by Master meant for Wudang.

This was equivalent to laying the Foundation for Wudang's ten-thousand-year inheritance.

Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand to help them up and said calmly: "The seven of you must first fully Master this set of martial arts, then open classes in the Teaching Hall to impart it to the Disciple within the sect."

"Remember, the Wudang Legacy is not supported by me alone; it relies on you, and on generation after generation of Wudang Disciple to pass it down."

"Disciple obeys!" The seven replied in unison, their eyes full of determination.

Just then, the System's prompt sounded again in Zhang Sanfeng's mind:

[Detected that the Host has completed the side quest: Perfect the Wudang Martial Arts System, task completion 100%!]

[Task Reward: Wudang Legacy Foundation greatly improved, Host's control over the Yitian World Legacy reaches 100%! World Fusion degree increases by another 3%, current total Fusion degree is 73%!]

A smile curled on the corner of Zhang Sanfeng's mouth.

He knew that everything he had done was worth it.

But just at this moment, Mo Shenggu suddenly rushed in, his face solemn.

"Master! The latest news has arrived from Dadu; Cheng Kun has brought The Xuanming Elders and a large group of experts from the Ruyang Princes Mansion, and they have already arrived in the Western Regions, about to reach Bright Peak!"

"They are secretly spreading rumors and have fabricated a lot of fake evidence, saying that the Ming Cult is colluding with the Yuan Dynasty imperial court to destroy the Central Plains Martial Arts World. The major sects have been deceived and are gathering their Disciple again to head to Bright Peak to encircle and annihilate the Ming Cult!"

A cold light flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.

Cheng Kun had indeed taken this step.

The battle at Bright Peak was destined to come after all.
