Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Hou Xibai wanted to stiffen his neck and stand his ground, but Tao Yu's words, "You don't want me to go find Shi Feixuan, do you..." directly shattered all of Hou Xibai's defenses.

Then, the inheritance of the Hua Jian Sect that was in his hands directly fell into Tao Yu's.

"The Hua Jian Sect does have something special. Although it's a bit unorthodox, it actually doesn't involve anything with a sinister and gloomy nature..."

Tao Yu looked at the Hua Jian Twelve Branches silently transcribed by Hou Xibai, unafraid of any deceit he might use.

Under his now Unity of Heaven and Man Spirit Perception, he warned Hou Xibai that if he resorted to deceit, he would go find Shi Feixuan, gripping this lifeline that surprisingly worked well on the Amorous Gentleman.

"Although there's a significant difference, it is indeed inherited from the same lineage..."

With the eyesight granted by the Deified Longevity Art, now that Tao Yu had both the Sky Demon Great Technique and the Hua Jian Twelve Branches in hand, he found that this was not simply a matter of two arts sharing the same lineage.

It seemed to also have an intricate connection with the Longevity Secret.

"One technique leads to all techniques?"

Tao Yu wasn't sure why this was the case, but it should not be hard to understand considering the convergence of diverse martial arts in the Great Tang...

"Just these two volumes of the Demon Strategy are so profound."

Zhang Sanfeng was also nearby, absorbing the essence of their discussion.

For him, there was no difference between the demonic path and Buddhism; it was just a matter of who wielded the power.

Kou Zhong and the others were also on the sidelines, learning from the discussions between Tao Yu and Zhang Sanfeng, and at the same time, they were shocked by Tao Yu's rapid growth.

At first, when Tao Yu had just obtained the Sky Demon Great Technique, he was the same as them, merely listening to the teachings of Zhang Zhenren and delving into Tai Chi theories.

But as soon as Brother Tao obtained the Longevity Secret, he truly grew too fast.

Not just his martial cultivation, but also his theoretical knowledge...

...

Heading upstream, the speed was still somewhat slow.

But this ship, modified like the Luoyang city walls with five masts, could still steadily move forward and didn't need to rely on trackers to cross some checkpoints.

Yuzhou Gorge is a necessary path for ships entering the Yuzhou docks from the Yangtze River, and it is also the narrowest place.

The closest distance between the two banks does not exceed one hundred meters, and the river water exudes a profound depth. Though the pass is narrow, the water is deep and bottomless, and the seemingly smooth current actually has an enormous volume.

The steep cliffs on both sides can make one appreciate nature's miraculous handiwork. Standing on the deck of the five-masted ship and looking at this magnificent natural spectacle can also make one feel the insignificance of humankind.

And today, as Tao Yu took the initiative to appear on deck, everyone could also see figures moving about in the dense forests atop the cliffs on both sides.

There were even traces of trebuchets spotted.

At the narrowest point ahead, several iron chains crisscrossed and were fixed midway through several boats, blocking above the surface of the river.

Figures holding various strange weapons stood on the cliffs with swords, spears, bows, and arrows of all kinds!

Many also held bows and arrows.

Coupled with the already steep cliffs and dense forests, they could create an immense sense of oppression.

It seemed as if various schools had gathered here.

Seeing such a formation, Tao Yu didn't take it seriously and stood on the deck, loudly proclaiming,

"Saint Heir Tao Yu of the Holy Gate, Yin Gui, has come to break through."

The sound reverberated, as if even the waves of the river were affected.

The birds in the dense forest flew away with cawing sounds, and even some scattered pebbles rolled down the cliffs, falling into the river.

Just this voice alone caused the faces of many Martial Artists on both banks to change slightly.

On the southern cliff, a ruggedly handsome middle-aged man dressed in a sturdy outfit slowly opened his eyes.

This man, with snowy temples but not a trace of age, added a noble air of high gates and big factions to his persona, the demeanor of a scholar instilled awe, making him seem untouchable.

The Heavenly Blade, Song Que!

Back when Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty swept across the lands with a hundred thousand troops wishing to conquer Lingnan, Song Que led ten thousand elite soldiers to face him, and after ten battles and ten victories at Cangwu, Yang Jian adopted a policy of appeasement and conferred the title of Duke of Zhen Nan on Song Que.

In martial arts, he defeated 'Tyrant Blade' Yue Shan to become the world's foremost bladesman.

It can be said that both his talent and martial prowess were unparalleled.

Originally, the Song Faction was also in support of Li Mi; as long as Li Mi could take Luoyang, they planned to create a marriage alliance with the Wagang and support Li Mi's bid for the throne.

However, he also concurrently cast a piece toward Kou Zhong, albeit not holding much hope for him.

As it turned out, the high ranks of Wagang were wiped out, and Li Faction picked up the pieces.

Due to Li Faction's relationship with the Tujue, he could never accept it, so when the old flame from Mercy Temple came knocking, he did not refuse the request to participate in the struggle for supremacy.

Who would be the Emperor in the end could be discussed, but the Li Faction absolutely could not!

"Such profound strength."

A glint of sharpness flashed in Song Que's eyes.

"Is this the foreign Heavenly Demon, the Yin Gui Saint Heir?"

Next to him, a figure in a black robe also appeared to be surprised.

Heard it one might have, but actually seeing such a young person with such strength still shocked him.

He was the King of Ba Shu land, the master of Lone Honor Fortress, 'Martial Judge' Xie Hui, and Song Que's in-law's father.

The salt trade entering Ba Shu was controlled by the Song Faction, and their influence extended over half of the region, giving the Song Faction great influence in Ba Shu.

After choosing the Song Faction on the Buddhist Sect's side, even though the Li Faction sent out several special envoys to promise him benefits, he still leaned towards Song Que's direction.

"Amitabha, the child's strength has grown even deeper," said Liao Kong standing to one side, sighing helplessly.
