Chapter 111: Understanding the Nine Shadows' Void Step

  Mufeng retreated from the courtyard house and saw that Muhanyu and Muhanqing were still standing at the door.

  "Mu Feng, what does the clan leader want with you?" Mu Han Qing walked up and asked with a smile, even Mu Han Yu's face showed a hint of curiosity. It's not easy to get an audience with the clan leader, who is usually as elusive as a dragon.

  "There's nothing much, the clan leader just reminded me to practice hard and make the Mu Clan prosperous." Mu Feng said with a smile.

  "You're really famous in Mocheng now, and you can even learn the Tianyun Sword Manual." Mu Han Qing looked at Mu Feng with a face full of envy. Even she and Mu Han Yu didn't have the qualifications to learn the Tianyun Sword Manual for the time being. Mu Feng would be the first person among the younger generation of the clan to cultivate the Tianyun Sword Manual.

  "I've spoken with the clan leader and we'll be replacing the Tian Tuo Sword Manual with the Jiuying Huaxu Steps!" Mu Feng said lightly.

  "What?" Mu Han Qing heard this and slapped Mu Feng's head: "Are you out of your mind? You don't learn the middle-grade martial arts of the Mystic Realm, but instead go learn that lower-grade martial art."

  Next to him, Mu Han Yu was also shocked. The Nine Shadows Phantom Step was after all only a lower-grade Xuan-tier martial art, and the difference between it and the mid-grade Xuan-tier Tian Yun Sword Technique was not just a single hair's breadth. If others knew that Mu Feng had made such a choice, they would all think that Mu Feng's brain had gone bad.

  Mo Feng had his own plans in mind. At present, with his strength, even if he practiced the Tian Yun Sword Technique, it would be difficult to exert its power. Moreover, he was currently lacking a physical martial art, and if he could master the Jiuying Huaxu Step, his strength would definitely increase greatly.

  Mo Feng had suffered losses due to his lack of mastery in body technique martial arts, such as when he previously fought against Jiang Wei and Mu Sheng, where he almost lost because of their superior body technique martial arts. If he also possessed a lower-grade Xuanjie body technique martial art, then during battles with others, he would be able to stand on an unbeatable ground.

  Mu Han Yu and Mu Han Qing stared at Mu Feng in silence, having no idea what he was thinking.

  After chatting with the two women for a while, Mu Feng hurriedly left.

  Three days later, Mu Fu, Cang Shu Ge!

  Mo Feng arrived at the third floor, and Mo Zu Wu was still meditating in stillness. His hair was white as snow, his face youthful, with an air of immortality and a demeanor of a Taoist sage. Mo Feng faintly felt that this Mo elder's aura seemed to be even stronger than before.

  In one of the four vacant stone rooms before, five big characters were already engraved: Nine Shadows Transform Void Step.

  "Respectful greetings, Elder. I, Mufeng, have come to cultivate the Nine Shadows Void Step." Mufeng bowed respectfully to Mu Ziwu.

  Mozi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mofeng, nodded and didn't say much.

  Rumors about Mu Feng, Mu Zi Wu had also heard a lot. This young man's cultivation was not high, but it was shocking. At least, with the cultivation of Hua Qi realm, he defeated the creator of Cang Xing realm. Even in his heyday, he couldn't do that. However, at this level, the most important thing is the state of mind, and for any matter, one can remain calm and unruffled like Mount Tai pressing down on top without changing color.

  "Thank you, Elder Mu." After thanking Mu Zi Wu, Mu Feng pushed open the large stone door and entered.

  This stone room is the same as the one where the Xuanling Tongshen jue was last time, with only a rush cushion on the ground. There are nine vivid murals on the wall, all of which were painted by the elder Muzi Wu.

  Under each mural is a detailed textual description, which is also the commonly used text of the Sacred Profound Continent, and not like the heavenly book texts such as the Xuanling Tongshen Manual.

  As for the mysterious bronze body technique in that stone room, Mufeng had also asked Mu Chuan Dao Zhen, but Mu Chuan Dao Zhen was also unaware.

  According to the words of Mu Chuan Dao, this stone room was built by the ancestors of the Mu family at that time. Every martial art in the stone room has a scroll as its foundation, which is kept by the head of the clan. However, there is no scroll for the Xuan Ling Tong Shen Jue. The Mu family also had a rule from the beginning: any descendant of the Mu family cannot pass on the Xuan Ling Tong Shen Jue to outsiders, nor can they record it in the form of scrolls or other forms.

  Xuanling Copper Body Technique is only a defective martial art, but it has already reached the lower level of Xuan Stage. If it were a complete set of martial arts, it would necessarily reach the middle level of Xuan Stage, or even the upper level of Xuan Stage.

  Mo Feng calmed down and focused her mind, pulling back her consciousness that had flown far away. She sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, carefully examining each of the murals.

  Jiuyinghua Xubu, hence the name Siyi, is a supplementary martial art that enhances physical movement. When practiced to perfection, it can create nine illusions. As the nine illusions appear, one's own body will seem to vanish into thin air, making it difficult for others to detect.

  Coordinating with Jiu Ying to launch an attack, it's a mix of real and fake, the power is doubled. However, this martial art is extremely difficult to cultivate, otherwise, the master wouldn't have put it up for auction. With Mu Feng's current strength, being able to cultivate one residual shadow is already quite impressive.

  Mo Feng carefully observed the nine murals, deeply imprinting them in his mind, and pondered over the explanatory text under each mural.

  These words are part of the Jiu Ying Hua Xuan Bu's heart method mnemonic, and another part is the insights of Mu Zi Wu Lao on this martial art. With these insights, Mu Feng will understand it much more easily, then everything will be twice the result with half the effort.

  One time, two times...

  Mufeng spent a whole five hours before he fully grasped the entire set of Jiuying Huaxu Steps. Mufeng's eyebrows also furrowed slightly, as the difficulty of practicing the Jiuying Huaxu Steps had exceeded his imagination.

  He tried to deploy it in the stone room, although his body shape became much more agile, but it was far from reaching the standard of condensing the first residual shadow. However, Mu Feng believed that if this martial art was truly practiced to perfection, one's body shape would be absolutely untraceable.

  "Jiuyinghua Xuubo is not a common technique, but it's difficult to cultivate and consumes a lot of Xuanli." Mufeng thought to himself, having only used it a few times, he could already feel that his Xuanli had been depleted by quite a bit.

  Although he didn't manage to condense the first residual shadow, Mu Feng's mood was still pretty good. He believed that condensing residual shadows was only a matter of time, and from today on, he had gained another set of Xuan-level martial arts, as well as an additional means of self-preservation.

  With this set of martial arts, in the future when facing a strong opponent who is creating a Form Boundary, even if you are not their match, your chances and grasp on escaping will greatly increase.

  Thinking of this, Mufeng's face also revealed a smile.

  Out of the stone room, bidding farewell to Mu Zi Wu, Mu Feng returned to his own residence in the side courtyard and practiced Jiuying Huaxu again.

  "I wonder how effective this technique will be in actual combat, it seems I'll have to find an opportunity to head to the Luoxia Mountains and test it out on some demonic beasts." Mufeng had always believed that if he wanted to rapidly improve his cultivation, actual combat was an indispensable method.

  As soon as he thought of Luoxia Mountain Range, Mufeng couldn't help but think of Hongfeng Town and Yang Zhan, the only brother Mufeng had.

  "It's been over a year since I left Hong Feng Town, and I don't know if Yang Zhan has reached the stage of transforming his energy." Mu Feng thought to himself, recalling that when they parted ways, the two had agreed that once Yang Zhan reached this stage, he would come find him in Mu City.

  "It's time to go back and take a look!"
