The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 220

In the end, I decided to hear the oral formula from Wave Palm King right now.

Although Maeng Gwang-gae clicked his tongue and called us hopeless guys, he didn't seem to be against it.

'But, can you learn that in just one day? I heard that the oral formula of the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art is very difficult and long.'

He only worried that much.

But fortunately, I have a memory that is far superior to others.

Well, if I didn't have that much talent in that harsh world, I wouldn't have survived.

"The Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art is a little different from other internal arts. Usually, a person should not learn two kinds of internal arts. Do you know why?"

A little while later, Maeng Gwang-gae, after saying that he would go back to the Beggars' Sect and come back tomorrow, disappeared, and Wave Palm King, after making me sit in front of him, asked.

"Because if there are two ways to operate energy, the possibility of the qi and blood being twisted increases, and if you operate it excessively, you can fall into qi deviation."

"Exactly. But as far as I know, there are three internal arts in the martial world that are okay to learn two or more internal arts at the same time. Do you know what they are?"

"To be honest, I don't know."

"You should know two of them, though?"

"...Is it a martial art of Wudang?"

"That's right."

Wave Palm King, with a smile, continued, "The first is the Two Forms Divine Art of the Wudang Sect. The Two Forms Divine Art divides your dantian and qi and blood into two, allowing you to learn two kinds of martial arts as if you were two people. But as far as I know, I have heard that there has not been a single martial artist who has mastered the Two Forms Divine Art."

"Yes. I have also heard that. It's a martial art that is only completed in theory, so it's a little difficult to actually learn it."

"That's right. It is the role of you Wudang Sect disciples to research and develop such a martial art and make it usable in reality."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"And the second is also a martial art of your Wudang Sect. It is the Tai Chi Internal Art."

"Tai Chi Internal Art?"

Wave Palm King nodded his head.

I had a question for a moment. Why does Wave Palm King know something that even I, a disciple of the Wudang Sect, don't know?

It's not something you can know just because you're old and have a lot of experience in the martial world.

He, as if he had noticed my expression, said with a chuckle, "There are a few of my close friends among your Ok generation Taoists. Especially with Ok-jin, we are very close. These are things I learned while discussing martial arts with Ok-jin. And I am seventy years old this year. When you live to this age, you come across a lot of news and information, even if you don't want to hear it, so don't look at me with that kind of expression."

"It's not that I was looking at you like that... but anyway, I understand."

"Shall we continue what we were talking about?"

"Yes, family head."

He, looking at me, smiled and opened his mouth.

"The Tai Chi Internal Art is not a martial art that was created to learn two kinds of martial arts like the Two Forms Divine Art. But do you know why I said that the Tai Chi Internal Art is also possible?"

"I think I know roughly. Isn't it that the Tai Chi Internal Art does not become the main internal art, but it is possible as a supplementary role by taking only the mystery of Tai Chi and using it?"

"Oh... exactly. Your understanding of martial arts is higher than I thought. Well, that's why you were able to do such a thing at that age."

"You're overpraising me."

"Hehe. You're also a master at pretending to be humble. Anyway, then do you know what the last third martial art is?"

"I think it's the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art of the Hwangbo family."

"Why did you think so?"

"In the first place, if the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art didn't have the characteristic of being able to learn two kinds of internal arts at the same time, you wouldn't have had a reason to tell me this long story."

"What?"

He, after looking at me with wide eyes, burst out laughing.

It seemed he never thought that such an answer would come from me.

"You're a really unique child. You're the first child to answer me like that. Usually, they struggle to find the answer, but you grasped my intention first."

"I often hear that I'm bold."

"Bold? No, that expression doesn't really fit. Since you can grasp the opponent."

He, looking at me, smiled again.

I don't know how many times he has smiled like that just today.

Although he especially liked me in my previous life, it seems he likes me much more in this life.

"The Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art is also an internal art that can be learned as a supplementary role. Do you know what happens when you learn the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art as a supplementary internal art?"

"I don't know."

"It makes the internal art you originally learned stronger. It makes the slowly flowing energy faster, and it makes the path of your qi stronger and more solid. That's not all. It can maximize the ability of your body. It helps those who have not built up their bodies to build them up, and it allows those who have already built up their bodies to draw out their strength to the maximum."

His voice was full of pride.

It's understandable.

Because the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art is one of the top martial arts in the martial world.

Although the Hwangbo family has now stepped down from the position of the Five Great Families, their power is still strong, and their position in Shandong Province and other places is unrivaled.

Because it was the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art that made it possible.

"Are there any side effects?"

"Side effects? Hmm... if I had to say, there might be one."

"What is it?"

"If you learn the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art incorrectly and can't control the energy flowing in your body, you lose consciousness and can't wake up. In addition, the energy flowing in your body circulates on its own, and it accumulates and expands on its own. The energy flowing in your body becomes stronger and stronger, and in the end, no one can control it."

"That... sounds scary."

"It's not that there's no way in that case. If another person who has learned the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art receives a portion of the fallen person's energy and has only enough to control it, they can open their eyes again."

"But what if the person who takes the energy already has the amount of energy they can handle to the limit?"

"Then it's one of two. Either they can't wake up because they can't take the energy, or the person who took the energy goes beyond their limit and takes the energy and loses consciousness instead."

When I showed a slightly scared face after hearing that story, he, with a chuckle, patted my back and said, "But don't be scared. Because that has only happened twice in the long history of our Hwangbo family. In the first place, it happens when you have to accumulate too much energy than your body's level because your understanding of martial arts is too high, so it won't be easy."

He, after looking me up and down, continued, "And when I look at your body now, it seems your body has already been polished to near perfection. Is this... no? Is it the Muscle-Tendon Scripture?"

"N-No. It's just a dynamic qigong I created."

"Is that so? Well... those stuffy guys from Shaolin wouldn't teach their treasure, the Muscle-Tendon Scripture, to a disciple of another sect. I said that because I haven't seen such a purely and cleanly polished body in a long time, so don't think badly of it."

"On the contrary, I took it as a compliment. Isn't the Muscle-Tendon Scripture the best martial art among dynamic qigongs?"

"I'd be grateful if you thought so."

While I was stroking my chest, which was surprised by Wave Palm King's sharp eye, he asked if it was okay to start in earnest, and I answered that it was good.

"Then I'll start. Let's start by memorizing the oral formula."

The oral formula of the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art began to flow from his mouth, and I began to concentrate to memorize it.

As my concentration reached its peak, I began to fall into something similar to a state of selflessness.

***

A full day passed, and when Maeng Gwang-gae came to see us again.

I had already learned all the oral formulas of the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art and had even learned its basics.

"Did you really learn the Sumeru Heavenly King Divine Art? And in just one day?"

"There is no martial talent like that. I have met many geniuses and prodigies who are said to be born and fly, but that child is on a different level."

"Really? I know he's bold, but I didn't know he was that smart."

"Smart? Hmm... it's a little different from being smart. It's not just that he's smart, but he instinctively knows how to learn martial arts and how to perform them. In terms of martial arts, he can be called a genius."

The two of them, even though I was not asleep and was sitting upright and looking at them, began to talk about me without caring.

Although I think that such a conversation should be held where the person concerned is not present, anyway, the Hwangbo family head, who had talked a little more, said to me, "Then since I've done what I had to do, I'll stop by the inn for a while and then go back to the Hwangbo family."

"The inn? Are you talking about the inn I'm staying at?"

"That's right."

"What are you going there for?"

"You're so curious. I'm going because I want to go."

"But I was just wondering if it would be better if the family head was not seen with us right now. Since the work here is almost finished, if a rumor spreads that the family head was actually involved in this matter, it might not be good for your reputation."

"Reputation? Do you think I care about such a thing?"

Although he was a person who didn't care about such things at all in his previous life, the one who helped me this time was Maeng Gwang-gae.

"No, Wave Palm King. It's time to care about such things now. After the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants have fallen, if the Hwangbo family is to start its activities in earnest, it must have a good impression on people."

"Tsk. I hate such things. In the first place, if I had stepped in and smashed them all, it wouldn't have been so troublesome."

"If you had done that, the Hwangbo family would have had a harder time in the future. No, why am I the only one worrying about your family? Are you not worried about your family?"

"I am worried... but anyway, I don't like such things."

"Sigh. Don't say such things again. It feels like what I've done so far has been in vain."

"I'm sorry. You know best that I didn't mean it that way. It's just that my personality is like that..."

In the end, the argument between the two ended with Wave Palm King apologizing to Maeng Gwang-gae.

Wave Palm King, while glancing at Maeng Gwang-gae, said, "I can just go secretly so that I'm not seen by others, can't I? The reason is to see my granddaughter's face once before I go back home. There is no other reason."

"Ah... you mean Miss Zhuge Ling."

"Yes. If I see Ling this time, I don't know when I'll see her again, so I have to see her face once."

Since he had said that much, Maeng Gwang-gae couldn't say anything more.

Since a grandfather wants to see his granddaughter, he can't say anything about that.

"Then let's move quickly for now. Follow me. I'll take you on a path with as few people as possible."

"Thank you. Let's go."

Wave Palm King, as if he were so happy to meet Zhuge Ling, followed Maeng Gwang-gae with a smiling face, and I also immediately began to follow them.

'I should also say goodbye to the people there.'

Since I have almost done what I had to do here, I had to take my senior brother and the Shaolin monks and go to Chang'an.
