Chapter 1976-1.1975 The martial arts world is full of extraordinary encounters.

I thought the Changlefang was full of hidden talents, which was already amazing.

Unexpectedly, once the immortal pointed to the grid on the Huitian Pavilion roundabout, the crowd erupted in a deafening roar from upstairs and downstairs.

Because of the immortal's guidance, it remained firmly and steadily on a whisk.

It was as if it had never turned at all.

Clearly, the righteous faction of Emei is about to engage in a series of battles.

However, starting with Senior Sister Li Lumei of Emei, the true energy of the six disciples was also absorbed by the Yin-Yang Sacred Fire Token. Although they received elixirs to strengthen their foundation, they were unable to get up and fight again in the short term. In other words, the only one capable of fighting in the entire Emei righteous sect was Master Jingyin.

However, everyone present knew perfectly well that Master Jingyin, who had received the blessing of the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame Token and had now successfully formed her inner core, not only hadn't expended any true essence, but had also ascended to the rank of a 5-star Human Immortal. In the blink of an eye, she had become a top-tier expert.

Just as swordplay has a starting stance, so too does the Yin-Yang Sacred Fire Token have an opening sequence.

Master Jingyin activated the "Sacred Fire Scripture," uttering the incantation, "Sacred Fire Decree: All Laws Return to Qi," which was equivalent to the starting stance.

In simple terms, "all methods return to Qi" means that "all kinds of practices ultimately return to true Qi".

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, Plain Questions states: "Qi begins to generate and transform; Qi disperses and takes form."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Qi" is the core energy that constitutes the human body and maintains life activities, possessing both material and spiritual attributes. It is classified into innate Qi (originating from the life source in the womb) and acquired Qi (formed through respiration and food). It permeates the entire life process through the concepts of "ascending, descending, exiting, and entering." Therefore, the Zhuangzi states, "Human life is the gathering of Qi."

In the martial arts world, "Qi" is a general term for the two vital energies.

In other words, the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame Token can both gather true energy and absorb primordial energy. Upgrading from a magical artifact to a magical treasure is an inherent attribute of the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame Token. Similarly, downgrading from a magical treasure to a magical artifact is also due to its inherent attributes.

This can be seen from the "True Scripture of Sacred Fire".

The *Sacred Fire Scripture* clearly states its first level: "First Level: Yin and Yang Primordial Separation - Gathering Essence and Refining the Pearl." Only by gathering the true essence and refining the Yin-Yang Command Pearl can one cultivate the "Second Level: Yin-Yang Circulation - Commanding the Eight Desolations." Then one can cultivate the "Third Level: Three Powers Transformation - Devouring Heaven and Earth," the "Fourth Level: Four Symbols Return to Origin - Pearl Explodes into the Galaxy," and the "Fifth Level: Chaotic Sacred Fire - Pearl Shatters Heaven and Earth." As for the "Sixth Level: Forbidden Secret Chapter - Sacred Fire Ignites the Lamp," it is presumably similar to the forbidden technique of "Dantian Manifesting Externally, Participating with Heaven and Earth," where one perishes together with the enemy.

Once this move is made, neither friend nor foe survives.

Previously, the female Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles, despite outnumbering the enemy, still suffered a defeat. Now, with the seven members of the Five Poisons Sect, everyone is eagerly awaiting to see if they can turn the tide.

"Master Gu has turned his whisk twice; he truly has a deep affinity with Buddhism." Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, let out a long sigh. Knowing full well that the Yin-Yang Sacred Fire Token possessed great supernatural powers, she remained calm and fearless, clearly placing high hopes on this team, which was proficient in all five poisons.

"As the saying goes, 'No story is complete without coincidences.'" Gu Xianniang, the master of Huitian Pavilion, who had never been interested in this matter from the beginning, became even more nonchalant: "Since Jingyin is destined to be this way, she should do her best."

"Well done, very well." Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, had not expected the other party to concede defeat. "Please." Gu Xianniang, the owner of Huitiange, after confirming that Jingyin was alright, turned and stepped down from the stage.

"Please." Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, also returned on her own, leaving the arena to the two sides.

"Sect Leader Jingyin, it's a pleasure to meet you." He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, also known as "Iron Hand Immortal Ape," greeted him first as he took the stage.

"Master He, it's a pleasure to meet you." Master Jingyin returned the greeting calmly as she watched her female disciple return to Yonghua Village.

"So that our sect leader may know, we are not skilled in military formations, nor are we adept at combined attacks." He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, known as "Iron Hand Immortal Ape," introduced himself: "Furthermore, our sect is afflicted by Gu poison and curses, making it inconvenient for us to compete in the arena. Therefore, how about a sword fight?"

"Master He, you must know that the Sacred Flame Token is a command sword." Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, got straight to the point. Her personal sword was destroyed by Granny Ma's unique Cloud Rolling Palm technique, and now she only has the Yin-Yang Twin Tokens to use.

"Flag, seal, command, and sword—all lead to the same goal." This was not surprising to He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Cult, also known as "Iron-Handed Immortal Ape."

“In that case, I shall challenge your sect to a sword duel with the Sacred Flame Tokens.” Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, spoke with absolute authority.

"Excellent." He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, also introduced his sect to show his integrity: "Everyone knows that our sect's three treasures are the Golden Serpent Sword, the twenty-four Golden Serpent Cones, and the treasure map. As a result, the martial arts world flocks to us, exhausting all their schemes and using all their means, all for the Golden Serpent Sword, and secondly for the Golden Serpent Cones. We have also been on high alert, not daring to relax for a single day. When 'the Purple Star descended from the sky, and the Three Realms were in chaos,' we took refuge in the Northern Fortress. Only then did we realize that compared to the former two, the treasure map passed down through generations in our sect is the most precious treasure in the world."

Referring to He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Cult known as "Iron-Handed Immortal Ape," the original background of the storyline in *The New Legend of the Condor Heroes* is as follows: After Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, usurped the throne, Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, in his attempt to regain power, smuggled a large amount of treasure from the palace and hid it, creating a map of the treasure's location—this is the origin of the Five Poisons Cult's treasure map. Later, this treasure map was given by Yuan Chengzhi to Li Zhicheng, the rebel leader. Legend has it that this treasure consisted of ten large iron chests, each filled with gold bricks, jade, pearls, and agate. It is estimated that the ten chests of "Jianwen's Treasure" were worth approximately 127 million taels of gold and a staggering 1905 million taels of silver.

Using the "Jianwen Treasure" as bait, Li Zicheng recruited soldiers and conquered Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide on Coal Hill, and Li Zicheng's army subsequently looted the city's powerful Ming officials, stealing 70 million taels of silver alone. However, before Li Zicheng could enjoy both power and wealth, Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass. In the midst of his defeat, Li Zicheng sent his trusted bodyguard, Flying Fox, to hide a large amount of treasure at Yubi Peak in Wulong Mountain outside the pass. To find this treasure, one must possess both a treasure map and the military sword used by Li Zicheng during his lifetime; only by combining these two can the mystery of the treasure be revealed. Thus, the "Jianwen Treasure" in *The Sword Stained with Royal Blood* transforms into the "Li Zicheng Treasure" in *The Snowy Mountain Fox*.

With this thought in mind, Wu Chen had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that the Five Poisons Sect has found the 'Jianwen Treasure'?"

The leader of the Five Poisons Sect, "Iron Hand Immortal Ape" He Tieshou, directly stated the answer: "We followed the map and found the sect's treasure."

"It is often said that 'wealth can move mountains.'" Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, already knew what was to come.

"It's true what they say, 'Money makes the world go round.'" He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, known as "Iron Hand Immortal Ape," recounted the derivative plot: "With the treasures of our sect, we are thriving in Beibao. We have invited all sorts of demons and monsters to forge divine weapons in imitation of the Golden Serpent Sword. We named them 'Five Immortal Divine Weapons.'"

I understand. Just as the Five Poisons Sect named itself after "Five Poisons," the so-called "Five Divine Weapons" are five divine weapons shaped like snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos.

Referring to the Golden Snake Sword, the blade is forged from a mixture of gold and other metals, resembling a coiled golden snake. The snake's tail forms the hilt, and its head extends into a double-forked tip, allowing the user to unleash the "Golden Snake Sword Technique," a unique creation of Xia Xueyi, the "Golden Snake Gentleman." The sword is heavier than conventional weapons, and its forked structure can lock the enemy's weapon or pierce vital points. A bloodstain runs along the blade, emitting a dark, emerald-green light, creating an extremely eerie appearance. It's not difficult to guess that the other four Five Poison Divine Weapons—Scorpion, Centipede, Toad, and Gecko—also possess their own distinct and bizarre designs, and corresponding unique sword techniques.

As for the origin of the Five Poisons Sword Technique, it must be related to the powerful and influential figures of the Northern Fortress, including the Ox-Demon and the Serpent.

Indeed, in the martial arts world, everyone has their own extraordinary encounters.
