In the back of Wuliang Mountain, there is a divine jade wall called the Wuliang Jade Wall. Whenever the moon is bright, the people of the Wuliang Sword Sect would see the shadow of a sword-dancing immortal on the jade wall, which is the greatest secret of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

After the Wuliang Sword Sect split, the various sects could not let go of the Wuliang Jade Wall. Every five years, they would fight for the right to reside in Wuliang Mountain and observe the sword-dancing immortal on the jade wall. They did not know that this "immortal" was actually man-made. Unfortunately, the "immortal" has long since left, and there has been no human figure on the Wuliang Jade Wall for many years.

Standing before the Wuliang Jade Wall, Bai Xiaosheng heard the rumbling sound and saw the surging rapids. In his hand was a scroll, faintly revealing some text, but it was unclear due to the mist.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng took a step, then another, in a continuous flow. His steps were unique, and as he moved, his figure changed, creating illusions that made it hard to distinguish the real him.

He moved faster and faster, creating a whirlwind that made the tea flowers sway beautifully. He himself looked like an immortal among the flowers, graceful and elegant, captivating to the eye.

Slowly, Bai Xiaosheng's figure rose, as if flying in the air. Upon closer inspection, he was stepping on the tea flowers, standing on the delicate branches, moving gracefully.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng moved, shooting straight toward the western cliff. In the blink of an eye, he stepped on the cliff and climbed up. He ascended about twenty to thirty zhang in one breath, though he used the cliff for support, his lightness skill was still astonishing. When he was exhausted and could no longer climb, he slapped his hand and hung straight from the cliff.

Looking at his hand, there was a small hole that allowed him to grip.

After regaining some strength, Bai Xiaosheng used his arms to lift himself again, ascending another ten zhang. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a sword hanging on the cliff.

It turned out that there was a hole on the cliff, and inside the hole hung a sword. The sword was inlaid with various gems, and when the moonlight reflected the sword and the gems onto the jade wall, it created a rainbow-like spectacle.

Unfortunately, there was no moon tonight, so the spectacle could not be seen. With the sword pulled out by Bai Xiaosheng, the spectacle would never be seen again.

In mid-air, Bai Xiaosheng brought his feet together, slapped his hands, and turned his body, quickly descending the cliff. It seemed as if his feet had a magnetic force, firmly attaching him to the cliff. In no time, he descended twenty to thirty zhang, then leaped down and landed steadily on the ground.

"Finally got it!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled, looking at the colorful long sword in his hand.

In the world of Tianlong, where is the greatest treasure? It is not the scripture hall of Shaolin Temple, nor the Lingjiu Palace of Tianshan, but the Jianhu Palace of Wuliang Mountain. Here, there is the coveted Beiming Divine Skill and the top-notch lightness skill, Lingbo Weibu. The hanging sword also seems to contain martial arts secrets.

After three months here, Bai Xiaosheng had obtained the Beiming Divine Skill scroll and learned Lingbo Weibu, greatly enhancing his lightness skill. Otherwise, he would not have been able to climb the cliff.

Today, he revealed the last mystery here, naturally feeling delighted.

The divine skills of the Xianyao Sect are definitely coveted, and Bai Xiaosheng is no exception. Unfortunately, when he was young, he did not know he was in Tianlong and learned martial arts from his parents and Uncle Tong. Later, when he found out, he had already cultivated a body of internal energy. Due to various reasons, he forgot about Jianhu Palace. This time, he immediately thought of this place and brought six beautiful female disciples here, obtaining the Beiming Divine Skill scroll.

Unfortunately, although the Beiming Divine Skill is excellent, Bai Xiaosheng could not decide to cultivate it. His current internal energy is already rare, and he also has the Shenzu Jing and the Jiuyin Divine Skill. To discard his current martial arts and retrain in the Beiming Divine Skill was too much to bear. Moreover, the Beiming Divine Skill is not easy to cultivate. Although he obtained the Beiming Divine Skill, it only contained two sets of techniques, and the method to transform internal energy was not mentioned.

Bai Xiaosheng is no longer a novice; he understands the dangers of transforming internal energy and is naturally more cautious. Fortunately, there is Lingbo Weibu, which gave him a pleasant surprise.

Lingbo Weibu is not just a lightness skill. Ordinary lightness skills involve jumping and moving, which consumes energy. However, when Lingbo Weibu is activated, it combines internal and external energy, not only not consuming internal energy but also accumulating it. The principle is very sophisticated. Just like the Jiuyang Divine Skill, others become weaker the more they fight, but those who learn the Jiuyang Divine Skill become stronger. This is due to its quick recovery of energy. Lingbo Weibu takes this principle to the extreme, not only not consuming internal energy but also increasing it, which is hard to imagine.

With the help of the system, Bai Xiaosheng easily understood the subtleties of Lingbo Weibu and cultivated it smoothly. In just three months, his lightness skill improved greatly. He is confident that in terms of lightness skill, he is no worse than Yunzhong He.

To return to the main topic—Bai Xiaosheng examined the long sword in his hand. The sword glowed, with seven gems reflecting their colors, making it very beautiful. Most people would think it was a work of art, but when Bai Xiaosheng lightly swung the sword, it cut through stone like butter, slicing a large stone into two pieces without any resistance.

"What a sharp sword!" Bai Xiaosheng marveled, examining it closely to see if it contained any Xianyao Sect divine skills.

Gradually, he noticed something was off. The sword handle and the blade were not one piece. Although the gap was small, it did not escape his careful examination. He placed his hand on the handle and gently pushed. When he reached the top protrusion, he turned it, and the blade, no longer held in place, fell to the ground and stuck into the soil.

Bai Xiaosheng ignored the blade and lifted the handle with a smile. He found that the inside was hollow, with silk wrapped inside. He pulled out the silk and placed the handle on the ground, eager to examine it.

"Zhuangzi... Strange, why is it this book?" Bai Xiaosheng frowned, examining it closely. Gradually, his face showed joy. The silk indeed contained the famous Daoist work, "Zhuangzi," but it was different from the usual "Zhuangzi." The text was interspersed with small characters, which were the insights of a senior master, mostly martial arts insights, involving many profound principles.

The more he read, the more delighted Bai Xiaosheng became. He never thought he would obtain this. Although it was not a divine skill manual, Bai Xiaosheng did not lack divine skills. What he lacked was the guidance of a master.

To be honest, Bai Xiaosheng's current cultivation is partly due to his talent, but more importantly, it is due to the system. Without the system's guidance and correction, he would not have his current cultivation. Look at Qiao Feng and Murong Fu; there is a big difference. Qiao Feng had a master's guidance, focusing on the Dragon Subduing Palm. Although he learned few martial arts, his cultivation was outstanding, and he had few rivals in the martial world.

What about Murong Fu?

His reputation is high, but in terms of martial arts, he is far behind Qiao Feng. In Tianlong, how many of his opponents could he defeat? At the Shaolin Temple, Murong Bo said Murong Fu's skills were not up to par, mainly because he lacked guidance and was distracted by too many things. Otherwise, with his background and talent, his martial arts would be even stronger.

Bai Xiaosheng did not have a master's guidance, but he had the system. Although the system could not give him life experience, it could provide the most scientific cultivation method, so he progressed very quickly, not inferior to those with a master's guidance. However, Bai Xiaosheng also had his shortcomings, which were his lack of life experience and knowledge. The appearance of "Zhuangzi" could make up for this shortcoming.

The more he read "Zhuangzi," the more delighted Bai Xiaosheng became, his heart filled with excitement. After a long time, he calmed down but could not bear to put down the treasure. He sat down and carefully studied the "Zhuangzi" on the silk.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng forgot about time and everything around him, immersing himself in the "Zhuangzi." Many things that were previously unclear to him became clear due to the explanations, and his understanding of martial arts reached a new level, making him very happy.

After reading it once, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly wondered, "This thing is extremely important. Why did Wuyazi leave it here?"

In Bai Xiaosheng's mind, this "Zhuangzi" is a treasure, no less valuable than the three great divine skills of the Xianyao Sect, and perhaps even more useful. Such an important thing, why did Wuyazi not keep it close and instead leave it here?

He was puzzled and could not understand Wuyazi's intentions. He decided not to dwell on it and slowly stood up, rubbing his stomach. Unconsciously, he had spent the whole night, and it was already morning. His stomach was growling.

"Today has been very fruitful. I should treat myself well!" Bai Xiaosheng joked to himself, bent down to pick up the sword, reassembled the blade and handle, and headed to the stone room.
