Chapter 36 The Reclusive Demonic Sect

Wu Tianjiao screamed "Ah!" as the air currents converged, like two red-hot knives piercing his body and

merging into one. His back was soaked with sweat, and he was unconscious. How many could

endure such searing pain?

"Boom!" Like a bomb exploding in Wu Tianjiao's mind, his body shuddered, and he

suddenly felt as if he had lost all weight. His soul drifted away, and with a "whoosh," he spat

out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed far away before he fainted.

The blood that landed on the stone wall strangely turned a jet black, as if solid, and

did not flow. It looked like a piece of black charcoal.

Wu Tianjiao's body, lying unconscious on the ground, twitched slowly.

Blackish fluid seeped from his pores, gradually soaking and

blackening …

This was the true meaning of cleansing the marrow and transforming the body. The sweat and grime that had seeped from his body earlier

had only expelled most impurities from his skin and muscles; what was being expelled now truly belonged to his bones

. As for the thick, black blood clot he vomited, it was impurities from his internal organs,

the most difficult impurities for the body to eliminate!

In martial arts terms, Wu Tianjiao's current state was that of a transcendent being! That is to say, from

this on, he had broken free from the shackles of his mortal body and officially entered the supreme realm of martial arts.

It should be known that every martial artist who achieves this transcendent state must undergo a painful and lengthy process,

taking anywhere from several months to several years or even decades; some may never reach

this ! With the old man's help, Wu Tianjiao actually opened his meridians and cleansed his marrow, truly a blessing beyond measure

. If word got out, every martial artist would be envious, for he had gained it so effortlessly!

The old man had already withdrawn his true energy, his heavy breathing audible. He had expended so much effort

to cleanse Wu Tianjiao's meridians, so he was probably in no better shape himself. However, he still carried a hint of joy, having finally

expelled the impurities from Wu Tianjiao's body and opened the gates of life and death. Wu Tianjiao's future progress in martial arts cultivation would be immeasurable.

Moreover , Wu Tianjiao's Ren and Du meridians were already open; with the opening of the gates of life and death, his internal energy would be interconnected, flowing

endlessly and continuously, more than doubling in power.

These were all unexpected gains for Wu Tianjiao.

After a long while, Wu Tianjiao slowly woke up from his unconsciousness. He felt all the pain and exhaustion had disappeared,

leaving only his body covered in sweat. Looking at the black sweat stains and grime, his white clothes had turned black.

Thinking of the inhuman pain he had just experienced, he felt lingering fear and a bit of annoyance. He angrily said, "You old rat,

why didn't you say so earlier when you were in so much pain? I almost died from the pain!"

The old man did not reply, seemingly circulating his qi to regulate his breathing. After a while, a faint voice came: "You didn't die from the pain,

which means your skill has improved another level. You should be happy."

Wu Tianjiao remained noncommittal, secretly circulating his internal energy. Sure enough, his internal energy surged like a tide, much more abundant, and its circulation speed was

many times faster. Overjoyed, he felt bewildered and asked, "Old man! We're not related,

why are you helping me?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "I can't explain it either. I feel a connection with you, and I cherish you as a rare talent in the martial arts world. Young man, what are those seven energy sacs

on your Changqiang, Yaoyu, Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shimen, Qihai, and Yinjiao acupoints ?" 　　Wu Tianjiao was greatly surprised upon hearing this. This old man was truly unfathomable, having detected his internal condition so clearly. He immediately said, "Those are sealed poison sacs!" 　　"Poison sacs!" 　　The old man was clearly startled. After a moment of silence, he said, "You've been poisoned?" 　　"Yes!" 　　Wu Tianjiao said casually, "The poison I've been given is too potent; there's no antidote. The only solution is to seal it and let it dissipate slowly!" 　　"Can you tell me what kind of poison you've been given? And why is there no antidote?" 　　the old man asked. 　　"Since there's no antidote, why should I tell you?" 　　Wu Tianjiao chuckled. 　　Their struggle had dragged on past midnight. 　　The old man said, "Young man, your Ren and Du meridians and the gate of life and death are now fully open. With diligent practice, your skills should gradually improve. It's almost dawn; shouldn't you hurry back?" 　　Wu Tianjiao felt a little guilty for not going to pick up Tie Yuhu, who would still bring him breakfast that morning, and immediately said: "Thanks! You old codger, at least you've finally freed me from my decade-long confinement. You've created a peerless talent for the martial arts world. I'll record you in the martial arts world and write your history in a glorious way." 　　The old man chuckled strangely, "Write it however you like, just don't write me as a 'old codger,' and I'll be eternally grateful ." 　　Wu Tianjiao snorted repeatedly and chuckled, "There's nothing I can do. I've acquired a title, and I can't change it. That's a fact, and I can't alter it." 　　The old man smiled bitterly, "I hope your fact will never become reality." 　　Wu Tianjiao said smugly, "Difficult! You'd better pray that you remember your old nickname, otherwise this matter is already settled. I'm leaving! If you're still troubled, I'll come find you again." It was getting late, so Wu Tianjiao bid farewell to the old man and turned to leave the cave. Once outside, Wu Tianjiao looked up at the cliff. The sky was a dark blue, and the moon had long since disappeared. Measuring the top of the cliff, which was 　　over ten zhang high 　　, Wu Tianjiao was already feeling eager to try, especially with a surge of energy within him urging him to climb higher. 　　"Let me see if I can reach the sky in one step!" Wu Tianjiao shouted. Before his words even finished, he had already leaped into the air, the ten-zhang-high cliff instantly passing beneath his feet. 　　"Haha! Divine skill perfected… Ah—" Wu Tianjiao shouted excitedly, his body already seven or eight zhang . While in mid-air, he shouted with elation, thinking he could float. However, in his excitement, he forgot to maintain his inner energy and let it dissipate, causing him to plummet from the air to the ground. 　　Wu Tianjiao cried out in surprise, but fortunately, his lightness skill was considerable. He twisted in mid-air, using a golden phoenix spreading its wings, extending his arms, and using the slight buoyancy of the air to stabilize himself, landing steadily and avoiding a humiliating fall.

Lying on his back, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Don't be too happy yet, I've only mastered half of my divine skill..."

As Wu Tianjiao's laughter faded, the old man sighed deeply. For some reason, Wu Tianjiao's departure

seemed to bring him a sense of loss: "Whose child is this? How can he be so exceptionally clever?"

He began to dwell on the past, seemingly wishing he had such a son. Alas, he was old, and everything seemed to be

fading with the passing years. He could only sigh.

For three days in a row, Wu Tianjiao practiced his skills in a secluded mountain cave.

Apart from Tie Yuhu bringing him meals morning and evening, he didn't contact anyone else.

Initially, his skill seemed to increase with the circulation of his internal energy, but by the third day, he couldn't break through any further .

He couldn't see any results; his skill seemed to be stagnating. If this continued, he was in danger of going into qi deviation. Unable

to find the cause, he thought of the old rat, hoping he might know the reason.

Therefore, taking advantage of the quiet of the moonlit night, Wu Tianjiao went to the old man's dwelling again.

Practice makes perfect, and Wu Tianjiao quickly found the old man's cave entrance and told him the reason.

The old man was overjoyed to hear of his arrival and immediately asked, "Young man, why don't you recite

this secret incantation to me? Perhaps this old man can find the problem."

Wu Tianjiao quickly opened the manual and recited, "After the Yin and Yang are derived, the next step is: Purple Palace appears three times in the Void

Realm, Sun and Moon return to the Gate of Heaven and Earth, Dragon and Elephant unite to break through the Jade Pivot, Divine Palace and Netherworld exchange for the Spirit Platform..."

The old man was moved and asked, "Is this truly written in the manual?"

Wu Tianjiao said, "It is indeed so, but when I circulate my qi, it seems my true qi is about to diverge.

It's fine at the 'Purple Palace' acupoint, but when it transforms into the Void Realm, when one returns from the 'Sun and Moon' acupoints to the 'Heavenly Gate,' which is the 'Baihui' acupoint, the

'Earth Gate,' and the 'Yongquan' acupoint, the true qi cannot be gathered."

"Then why don't you first focus on the 'Baihui' acupoint and then return to the 'Yongquan' acupoint? Wouldn't that be much smoother?"

the old man said. Wu Tianjiao replied, "That's true, but the next technique requires channeling energy from the 'Taibai' acupoint to the 'Yubai

' acupoint, rushing upwards. It's impossible to do so quickly, and the true energy will become a vacuum..."

The old man interjected, "You can first channel energy to the 'Wangbai' acupoint and then rush downwards. Wouldn't that provide enough power?"

Wu Tianjiao continued, "What's even stranger is that the 'Shenyu' acupoint near the navel needs to transform into the Netherworld and connect to the 'Lingtai'

acupoint . That's simply impossible! If the true energy becomes invisible, wouldn't that be equivalent to dissipating one's power?"

The old man smiled and said, "You can connect it to the 'Zhongchong' meridian, and then you won't have to dissipate your power."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao's heart stirred, and he asked in surprise, "But why isn't this written in the manual?"

"Perhaps it was omitted?"

the old man chuckled.

"How could so many things be missing?"

Wu Tianjiao frowned, then recited a long string of incantations, none of which seemed to make sense.

The old man listened, his brow furrowing; he too felt that the manual's contents contradicted common martial arts principles.

After Wu Tianjiao finished, he said, "I know there must be a reason, but I just can't figure it out. Old man,

can you help me think of something?"

The old man chuckled, "I figured it out long ago."

"Really? What's the reason?"

Wu Tianjiao asked excitedly.

The old man sneered, "This is a lousy manual, utterly useless."

Wu Tianjiao was taken aback, saying, "You dare say my Wu family's manual is...?"

The old man smiled faintly, "Perhaps not, but this one is either a misremembered record or a haphazard compilation; it's completely useless

. You might as well throw it away. I'll teach you a new internal energy cultivation method!"

How could Wu Tianjiao accept being ridiculed for the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill he so desperately desired? He immediately retorted, "Don't even think about it!

I came here to ask you for answers, and you dare to ask me to learn your kung fu?"

The old man said, "This manual is too contrary to common sense..." "

That's precisely why my Wu family's Dragon Elephant Divine Skill is unparalleled in the martial arts world, invincible. Are you jealous,

so you deliberately say this manual is useless?"

The old man didn't expect Wu Tianjiao to react so strongly, so he changed his tune and said, "Little boy, since you're not suited to practicing it,

don't force yourself to continue, otherwise it will cause great harm to your body..."

"Who said it's harmful?"

Wu Tianjiao retorted, "I just can't figure it out, where does the harm come from? If you can't solve it, then so be it, why insist that this

manual is useless?"

"Little boy, I'm telling the truth..."

the old man said.

"What do you mean by 'truth'? Why didn't you say it was useless back then? Why did you even help me open my acupoints?"

Wu Tianjiao said coldly. "If you can't figure it out, just say you can't. I'll think about it myself. It's not up to you to tell me what it is."

The old man was somewhat anxious. "This method of operation really can't be practiced..."

"Why can't it be practiced?"

Wu Tianjiao deliberately contradicted him. "I'll practice it for you!"

"Little brat! That will mess up your meridians. At best, you'll lose all your martial arts skills; at worst, you'll die on the spot!"

"Nobody believes you!"

Wu Tianjiao said smugly. "I'm determined to practice it. If you can't undo it, then I've come for nothing. Goodbye!"

With that, he tossed his head and headed towards the cave entrance.

Wu Tianjiao had always believed that the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill was invincible. How could he accept what the old man said so easily?

Hearing his footsteps as he left, the old man became even more anxious and shouted, "Stop! That skill can't be practiced, do you hear

me?"

His words sounded agitated and uneasy.

Wu Tianjiao, however, replied mischievously, "Strange? The manual is in my hands, and my head is on my head. I can

practice it or not, it's none of your business! You should just stay in seclusion and practice your Rat Kung Fu! You old rat!"

He called the old man's name word by word, laughing mischievously, and had already reached the outside of the cave.

The old man became even more anxious upon hearing this, and shouted loudly, "That's the 'Reversal of Yin and Yang Tribulation,' you must never practice it!" His voice went

from excitement to frustration to lamentation.

Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he quickly stopped and went back into the cave, calling out, "What is the Reversal of

Yin and Yang Tribulation?"

The old man was overjoyed to hear him return and sighed, "The Reversal of Yin and Yang Tribulation will cause your meridians to become disordered, and

the Yin and Yang energies in your body to be reversed. Little child, I mean well, but you must never continue

practicing ."

"Could this manual really be fake!"

Wu Tianjiao asked in astonishment, holding the manual and staring blankly.

"Whether it's fake or not, you know in your heart. If you practice according to this, hehe! Little kid, you should know

what the consequences will be!"

the old man said.

Wu Tianjiao flipped through the manual for a while and said, "If you say this manual is fake, I don't quite believe it.

The first eight levels of the mental cultivation method are exactly the same as the Dragon Elephant Mental Cultivation Method that my aunt passed down to me. I can practice the ninth level without any problem.

This tenth level..." At this point, a thought struck him, and he blurted out, "Could it be that the first part is real and the last part is fake?"

The old man snorted and said, "Boy! You're not too stupid. You've finally figured it out. Otherwise, how could I have

let you fall for it!"

Wu Tianjiao believed the old man's words to some extent, but to say that the manual in his hand was fake was still a bit

hard to accept. Could it be that Sister Qing Shuang used a fake manual to harm me? How did this old man know that the manual was fake?

Wu Tianjiao, filled with questions, couldn't help but ask again, "Old man, who exactly are you? How do you

know the secret manual is fake? Who are you?"

Silence fell within the stone wall for a long time. Finally, the old man sighed and said, "Little one, your name is Wu Tianjiao, isn't it?"

Ah! Wu Tianjiao almost jumped up in surprise, exclaiming, "You know me?"

"Of course!"

the old man said calmly. "In fact, I saw you three years ago and even saved you once!"

"What?"

Wu Tianjiao was even more shocked, saying in astonishment, "You saw me three years ago? And saved me? Impossible! If you

saved me, how could I have no recollection of it?"

"Of course you have no recollection!"

the old man sneered. "When I saved you, you were sleeping like a log. Luckily, I had a sudden

urge to visit the Prince of Jinyang's mansion; otherwise, your head would have been gone three years ago!"

Before the word "bullshit" could even leave his lips, Wu Tianjiao's mind raced.

He more than three years ago, on the night he was engaged to Baili Feixue, the assassin who had tried to kill him

was inexplicably killed. Could the old man be referring to...? Realizing this, Wu Tianjiao exclaimed, "So

it was you who killed the assassin and saved me with the Great Prajna Thousandfold Palm!"

"Little brat, you finally remembered!"

the old man chuckled. "Isn't it me who saved you?"

Wu Tianjiao was astonished and asked in surprise, "Why did you save me?"

"Do I need a reason to save someone?"

the old man scoffed. "What I hate most is killing in secret. That assassin was unlucky; I just happened to stumble upon it!"

"So..." Wu Tianjiao exclaimed in delight, "You know the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill?"

"Didn't I say before that I only know a little bit? Otherwise, how would I know your

manual is fake?"

the old man said calmly.

"Just a smattering of knowledge, humph! So how much do you actually know?"

Wu Tianjiao asked doubtfully, "My Wu family's Dragon Elephant Divine Skill has thirty-six levels of internal cultivation. Aside from the last

twelve levels that have been lost, how many of the twenty-four levels do you know?"

The old man chuckled, "The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill isn't a Wu family martial art; it's the supreme martial art of the Reclusive Demon Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Sect

! Heh! The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill has become a Wu family martial art? How laughable!"

"Reclusive Demon Sect? Heavenly Dragon Sect?"

Wu Tianjiao muttered, shaking his head, "Never heard of it. What kind of sect is that?"

"Of course you haven't heard of it!"

the old man said calmly, "Very few people in the martial world know about the Reclusive Demon Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Since they're reclusive,

how the Heavenly Dragon Sect has disappeared from the martial world for hundreds of years

. Even those who know it are just legends."

"Then how do you know?"

Wu Tianjiao blurted out, "Could you be a member of the Heavenly Dragon Sect?"

"I suppose so!"

the old man chuckled. "Little one, do you still have any doubts about me?"

Wu Tianjiao, of course, had no more doubts. Hearing this, he immediately changed his tune, forcing a smile and saying, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

With that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to the stone wall where the old man was in seclusion, respectfully saying, "Disciple

Wu Tianjiao greets Master!"

The old man burst into laughter, clearly delighted. After laughing for a while, his laughter subsided, and

he said, "Very well! I'll accept you as my disciple. However, you mustn't

mention especially not to Wu Wudi."

"Disciple obeys!"

Wu Tianjiao replied happily.
