Chapter 1972 (11971) "The Three Yang Technique"

Chapter 1972, Part 1.1971: The Three Yang Skill

The third move, "Jade Maiden's Dust-Sweeping Skill," uses softness to overcome hardness, specifically targeting Golden Eagle King Jinhe and Bronze Eagle Xiahou Shengnan. It invokes the divine power of the Ox Star to "overpower all techniques with one force."

"Change formation!" Seeing that the battle was going to be lost, Granny Huang Yingma, who had been possessed by the Doumu Xie star, shouted again.

The Black Eagle Valley's Miaozhen and Brown Eagle Fengyue, possessed by the female earth bat star, heard the sound and released the earth evil mist, transforming into eagle wings that covered the sky, confronting "Jade Maiden's Dust-Sweeping Blade".

The seven members of the Emei sect fought steadily and skillfully, their swordplay controlled and unrestrained, and for a time they were not at a disadvantage.

Some might ask, what if the moves become old and worn out?

When a move becomes stale, it naturally needs to be changed. However, it's not always necessary to progress step by step, one move after another. Once the skill is mastered and practice makes perfect, one can adapt to changing circumstances and create moves independently, without being bound by rigid rules.

The same applies to the Emei orthodox school's "Jade Maiden Sword Technique".

The moves were used repeatedly, and neither side could gain the upper hand. The seven Emei disciples then unleashed their fourth move, "White Hair Cleansing the World."

This "purification of the world" is not "liberation," but rather "liberation without liberation." The original meaning is that the Buddha had no actual attachment to liberating sentient beings. If one has the thought of "I should liberate sentient beings," one falls into the "four attachments": the attachment to self, the attachment to others, the attachment to sentient beings, and the attachment to lifespan. In short, it is being attached to appearances. In this context, it refers to the icy, piercing white light of the sword tip of "liberation without liberation," specifically designed to destroy pure Yang energy. Once it strikes a vital point, it's like a thousand needles piercing the heart; it not only cripples a person's martial arts but also forcibly extracts their painstakingly cultivated pure Yang energy for one's own use.

"Could it be the Star Absorbing Technique?" Seeing that the black eagle valley's Miaozhen and brown eagle Fengyue'er, who had been possessed by the female earth bat star, were visibly having their true energy transformed into earth-evil mist and sky-covering eagle wings absorbed, a discerning person pointed out the key.

“Though not quite there yet, it’s not far off.” Another person chimed in: “The Emei orthodox school’s ‘Three Yang Skill’ corresponds to the three Buddhas: Dipankara, Shakyamuni, and Maitreya. That is, the past, present, and future. If we consider this, then the ‘Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill’ can reverse time. It can also be practiced in reverse to ‘see the future’.”

"Turning cause into effect, putting the cart before the horse." Then someone seized on the key point: "The Three Yang Skill can reverse the flow of energy in the dantian, absorbing true essence. It won't cause the dantian to manifest externally, thus merging with heaven and earth. Wonderful, wonderful!"

The so-called "dantian manifesting outwards, merging with heaven and earth" means going against the will of heaven, sacrificing oneself in a single strike. It involves stealing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, exhausting one's own true essence, and perishing together with the enemy. After the strike, neither friend nor foe will remain, their remains utterly destroyed.

"Change formation!" Seeing that Black Eagle Valley's Miaozhen and Brown Eagle Fengyue'er were running out of energy, Fighting Wood Xie Yellow Eagle Granny Ma shouted again.

Xue Ruobi, the Tin Eagle, and Guo Yuniang, the White Eagle, possessed by the constellation of the Void Sun Rat, moved with lightning speed, their eagle claws striking directly at the faces of the seven masters and disciples. Before their attacks could be fully utilized, Han Yulian, the Iron Eagle, and Kai Kai, the Silver Eagle, possessed by the constellation of the Dangerous Moon Swallow, drew upon the chilling moonlight, transforming it into eagle feather blades that struck first despite being behind.

The four coordinated their attacks from different directions, employing close-quarters combat and concealed weapons with perfect teamwork.

Seeing that they were about to lose, the seven Emei disciples immediately unleashed their fifth move, "Red Lotus Burning Karma".

The sword energy transformed into crimson lotus karmic fire. The seven attacked swiftly, the sword wind scorching, causing the opponent's true energy to fluctuate, his heart fire to become weak and strong, his blood and qi to become chaotic as if he were being burned by lust, and his power seemed to evaporate into thin air. In the urgency, he fell into madness and collapsed without being attacked.

"Indeed, it is the method of reversing the dantian." Now, the true essence of the Emei sect's "Three Yang Skill" has been discovered by those with discerning eyes: "It is comparable to the reverse of the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill.' You must know that when you circulate your energy outside your body, your true energy will inevitably leak out—through the eight extraordinary meridians, circulating through the vital acupoints of the whole body. The 'Three Yang Skill' can take advantage of this opportunity to reverse the dantian, taking the enemy's leaked true energy back into your own. Then, by using the 'Jade Maiden Sword Technique' to strike acupoints and cut off meridians, the enemy's true energy leaks out even more, captivating their soul and stealing their spirit, making it even more superior."

"So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized. In the end, it was the Three Yang Skill's method of reversing the dantian that possessed great supernatural power.

"It's not simply about reversing the flow." Wu Chen explained to the Demon Hunter Sect via telepathy: "The Three Yang Technique can both reverse the flow of Qi in the Dantian and regulate the flow of Qi in the Sea of ​​Qi. It unleashes the absorbed foreign true Qi all at once, with astonishing power. 'Seeing the future' and 'recalling the past' is the true essence of the Three Yang Technique."

Seeing that the tin eagle Xue Ruobi and the white eagle Guo Yuniang had vanished, the purple eagle Ji Meiniang and the red eagle Murong Gufang, possessed by the Fire Pig constellation, immediately joined forces to come to their aid. The two channeled their full power, igniting a raging inferno, transforming into eagles that roared across the sky, carrying with them specks of cold starlight as they crashed into the sword formation. Wherever the cold starlight passed, flames soared into the heavens, and thunderclaps resounded.

The Crimson Lotus Sword Formation was blasted into pieces, leaving the seven members of the Emei Sect with wide-open weaknesses.

"The Tang Clan Fire Manual!" Someone recognized the source of Han Xing's work.

The story goes that Murong Gufang, the "Red Plum Thief" and heir of the Murong family, sought to seize the "Tang Clan Fire Manual" from Bai Yulou, the wealthiest man in the martial arts world, in order to restore his family's prestige. Now, the "Red Plum Thief" has transformed into Red Eagle, one of the Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles, and his "Palm Thunder" and "Thunderbolt Fire" are precisely the martial arts weapons recorded in the "Tang Clan Fire Manual." Their power is astonishing, and their range is extremely wide. A sudden, unexpected attack, impossible to defend against.

At the critical moment, Abbess Jingyin, the leader of the Emei sect, used all her strength to block in front of her disciple and forcefully unleashed the sixth move, "Burning Lamp Illuminates Shadows".

The ancient Buddha's lamp illuminates both weaknesses and inner demons. The combined energy of the eyes and the sword light unleashes countless rays of Buddhist light piercing the heart. It reflects and amplifies the opponent's deepest desires, fears, and obsessions. At best, it causes a mental breakdown; at worst, it reduces them to a puppet.

This is a sword technique that combines mental attacks.

Because it is an area-of-effect attack, there is no need for all the female disciples to join the battle; the most powerful nun, Master Jingyin, alone is sufficient.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—"

Wherever the Buddha's light reached, the Thirteen Eagles felt excruciating pain in all the major acupoints of their body. Their true energy overflowed, and their power plummeted. They were in grave danger of losing their power.

"Hey!" Seeing their comrade in danger, the Green Eagle Narcissus and the Blue Eagle Geng Liuniang, possessed by the Water Jade Star Constellation, used their twin swords to create a wall of water, transforming it into eagle feather shields to block the attack. In an instant, the roles of offense and defense shifted, and the two sides were once again evenly matched.

"What do you think of the outcome, sir?" The two sides took their positions and exchanged blows, the offensive and defensive positions shifting constantly. The spectators upstairs were overwhelmed by the spectacle and exclaimed how thrilling it was.

"I've almost finished the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, and I've already completed one round of the Xuanwu Flying Eagle Killing Formation." The man replied, "Brother, remember, Abbess Jingyin still has a trump card."

"There's another trump card?" Upon hearing this, the audience fell into deep thought.

Master Jingyin, alone with her sword, fought fiercely in all directions within the Flying Eagle Killing Formation, stabilizing her own sword formation with her own strength.

After the eldest sister Li Lumei, known as the "Three Phoenixes of Emei," along with the two heroines Xiyue and Chilian, regained their full strength, the seven disciples, with their hearts in perfect harmony, danced the seventh move, "Striking the Moon and Startling the Wild Goose."

As the swordplay began, the seven figures became increasingly alluring. Like celestial maidens dancing, their robes fluttered as they twirled and shifted, their fragrant skin and jade-like bodies appearing and disappearing, displaying the utmost charm. A fleeting glimpse was enough to startle the heart, yet abruptly distanced, a teasing ambiguity that left the target restless and disoriented. Before they could even give chase, a single sword strike would turn and strike, a deadly pursuit.

Amidst gasps of surprise, the seven Emei disciples swung their swords to regain their footing, becoming evenly matched with the female Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles.

Reversing the tide in one fell swoop, the seven masters and disciples unleashed their eighth move, "Compassionate Salvation."
