Before parting ways, Chu Yang asked Nie Feng about the location of Lingyun Cave.
When Nie Feng answered, there was an unyielding worry in his eyes. His father had died here, and Lingyun Cave and the Fire Qilin were his nightmares.
Mingyue understood what Chu Yang meant by "important matter" and asked nervously, "A-Yang, are you going to Lingyun Cave to find the Fire Qilin?"
Chu Yang nodded and smiled, "The Fire Qilin is a mythical beast that others avoid like the plague. To me, it's just a little stronger than Dugu Yifang."
Nie Feng advised, "Even so, Lingyun Cave is an ominous place. There's no need for you to put yourself in danger."
Chu Yang waved his hand, offering no further explanation, and turned to leave amidst the shouts of the two.
In the early stages of the story, there aren't many valuable items in the turbulent world, making Lingyun Cave a treasure trove not to be missed.
There are fire unicorns and blood bodhisattvas there.
The blood of the Qilin is a potent poison to others, the blood that drove Nie Feng to madness, but in Chu Yang's eyes, it is an unparalleled treasure.
After bathing in the blood of the Qilin, his already powerful physique will reach an even higher level.
Blood Bodhi, needless to say, has miraculous effects; it is a holy medicine for healing injuries and can also enhance one's martial arts skills.
If you're lucky, you might be able to force many martial arts techniques, including the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, to the level of perfection.
This would save Chu Yang from years of arduous cultivation.
This will allow him to integrate all martial arts into one as soon as possible and strive to create a great path that can rival the true essence of Tai Chi.
Inside Lingyun Cave are also the Snow Drinking Saber and the Six Strike Techniques of Aohan, inherited by Nie Feng's family, and the Fire Kirin Sword, inherited by Duan Lang's family.
However, compared to the Fire Qilin and the Blood Bodhi, these three items were not very valuable, and Chu Yang was not very interested in them.
What truly interested him was the dragon vein hidden deep within Lingyun Cave, and the unique skill left behind by Wu Wudi, one of the "Top Ten Warriors".
Unrivaled in all directions!
In the subsequent plot, Nie Feng, by chance, found a mural of a Qilin in Lingyun Cave, from which he comprehended this ultimate skill, and his combat power soared from the bottom to the top tier.
But Chu Yang wanted more than just that.
【Invincible in Ten Directions】is derived from Wu Wudi’s core martial art 【Xuanwu True Skill】. Chu Yang hopes to use this martial art to deduce the full meaning of 【Xuanwu True Skill】.
【Xuanwu True Skill】encompasses a wide range of martial arts routines, including swords, spears, halberds, staffs, fists, palms, legs, claws, and fingers.
It's somewhat similar to the "Nine Yin Manual" in the world of martial arts, capable of comprehensively enhancing a person's martial arts skills.
It's perfect for a jack-of-all-trades like Chu Yang, as it can help him organize and integrate other martial arts techniques.
This is one of the few top-tier martial arts techniques that Chu Yang can currently access. As for other techniques that are even more powerful than the [Xuanwu True Skill], it would require a lot of effort, and he doesn't have the means to do so at the moment.
After Chu Yang left, Nie Feng and Ming Yue also embarked on their journey to the World Society.
Compared to Mingyue's deep concern, Nie Feng appeared relatively relaxed on the road, even somewhat too relaxed.
This gave Mingyue a bad feeling.
She realized she had overlooked something very important!
Nie Feng is a very sentimental person. The years of nurturing from Xiong Ba and the master-disciple relationship between them cannot be erased by Chu Yang's few words.
The worst possibility is that Nie Feng still harbors a sliver of unrealistic fantasy.
Thinking of this, Mingyue hugged the Peerless Sword tightly in her arms.
……
The Leshan Giant Buddha is a very famous landmark. Even in ancient times, you could easily ask anyone for directions.
Chu Yang found Lingyun Cave without much effort.
Because of the legend of the Fire Qilin, this place is usually deserted and very quiet, but Chu Yang heard a noise at the entrance.
Take a closer look.
Wow! It's someone I know!
Break the waves!
Duan Lang, who had been given a good beating at the Ming family's ancestral graves, appeared at Lingyun Cave for some unknown reason. Chu Yang thought he might have come here to seek solace.
Chu Yang followed Duan Lang into Lingyun Cave.
The temperature inside the cave was obviously much higher than outside, and Duan Lang had been wiping away sweat for a short time after entering.
Chu Yang, following behind him, activated his Observation Haki to locate the Fire Qilin.
We're very close to them!
Seeing Duan Lang cautiously approaching, Chu Yang's lips curled up. Then, he suddenly appeared behind Duan Lang and kicked him hard in the butt.
"Ouch!"
"why you?!"
Duan Lang, who had fallen face-first into the dirt, turned around and saw Chu Yang, then screamed in utter horror.
Chu Yang sneered and quietly retreated.
Not long after.
The fiery red light illuminated the cave, and waves of heat swept over it.
Duan Lang's face turned deathly pale.
"Fire Qilin..."
Duan Lang, now in dire straits, finally understood why Chu Yang had suddenly appeared: he wanted to use him to lure the Fire Qilin.
"This person is so vicious!"
Duan Lang stood up and ran desperately towards the cave exit, growling menacingly.
He never imagined that his previous scheme to kill his friend Nie Feng with Dugu Yifang was a hundred times more vicious than Chu Yang's.
The roar of the fire qilin grew closer and closer, as if it were right next to their ears.
At this moment, Duan Lang felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. A huge shadow of death loomed over him. Duan Lang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was crying and laughing at the same time, becoming more and more frantic.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Duan Lang vaguely saw sparse lights outside Lingyun Cave, and a look of relief at surviving the ordeal flashed in his eyes.
Just now.
An aura of urgency rushed from behind, giving Duan Lang the illusion of falling into molten lava, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder.
"No! No!"
Duan Lang reached out desperately, as if trying to grasp the light outside Lingyun Cave.
With a sudden tug, the fire qilin pulled him back into the Lingyun Cave, gradually moving away from that ray of light. In Duan Lang's eyes, the flames became the deepest darkness.
The roar of the fire qilin and Duan Lang's screams echoed throughout the cave.
Chu Yang followed at a leisurely pace.
Duan Lang must die here today!
If we let him out, he'll cause trouble for Nie Feng sooner or later, and Mingyue won't be able to live a peaceful life either.
If it weren't for the concerns about Nie Feng and Mingyue, Chu Yang would have even wanted to kill Bu Jingyun to reduce an unknown factor.
"Once this matter is settled, the debt of gratitude for saving my life will be repaid."
Hearing Duan Lang's voice gradually weaken, Chu Yang shook his head and slowly walked towards the Fire Qilin, which was now wreaking havoc.
As soon as the Fire Qilin noticed Chu Yang, Chu Yang immediately unleashed a [Avada Kedavra] attack, which landed precisely on the Fire Qilin.
The magic from another world was frantically devouring the life of the divine beast. The fire qilin staggered and swayed in the cave, but it did not die immediately!
"As expected of one of the four auspicious beasts, it is simply incomparable to any knock-off."
Chu Yang's eyes showed admiration, and without hesitation, he cast a few more Life-Taking Curses. Now, even the Heavenly King himself would have to die here.
as predicted.
The fire unicorn fell straight down instantly, its eyes still filled with resentment towards Chu Yang.
What a pathetic death!
It would rather fight a powerful enemy for hundreds of rounds and die from exhaustion than die in such a bizarre way.
As long as the true essence of the four auspicious beasts remains intact and their bodies are preserved, they can be resurrected in time.
When they meet again, the Fire Qilin will fight Chu Yang to the death no matter what.
Chu Yang sensed the Fire Qilin's thoughts and laughed, "See you next time, feel free to come and seek revenge."
He didn't intend to kill the Fire Qilin easily; he wanted to at least get some free Qilin blood for a while first.
Only after the Qilin blood has no effect on him can he obtain the true essence of the Fire Qilin, thus maximizing his benefits.
The fire qilin's pupils dimmed, its life force completely extinguished.
Duan Lang's remains lay at its feet, now scorched beyond recognition by the flames.
Chu Yang unleashed a fireball spell, burning him to ashes as if he had never existed in the world.
Carrying the body of the Fire Qilin, Chu Yang walked deeper into the Lingyun Cave, constantly searching for the scattered Blood Bodhi along the way.
Until they arrived at an area with a deep pool.
