When it comes to swordsmanship that doesn't involve the changes of heaven and earth, yet is close to the realm of law, what first appears in Meng Qi's mind is "Tian Dao"! Tian Dao Song Que, having obtained the method and forgotten the method, his sword has reached a state of enlightenment, and with a casual wave of his hand, he can create a wonderful technique that is perfect to the extreme. Occasionally, an ordinary-looking slash may contain changes that are difficult to describe, as if it has merged with heaven and earth, similar to the realm of Du Gu Nine Swords.

  The difference lies in that the Du Gu Nine Swords are based on breaking, taking advantage of the opponent's flaws as the main focus, unpredictable and mysterious. The "Tian Dao" is based on momentum, with oneself as the main focus, overbearing and terrifying.

  Both of them have perfectly demonstrated some characteristics of the sword, but with completely different styles, just like a combination of yin and yang in a broad sense, and can be transformed into each other at any time.

  After crossing swords with Yao Xiaogui, Meng Qi attached even more importance to this point. If he wanted to truly master both knife and sword in the future, he would have to consider his choice of knife and sword techniques. Of course, if one had already grasped the underlying principles of knife and sword techniques, then it was entirely possible to wield them with ease and flourish at will. Unfortunately, Meng Qi was still very far from reaching this level, and even Jiang Zhiwei's master, Su Wuming, wouldn't dare boast about having reached it.

  "Then choose the Heavenly Sword!" To be honest, Meng Qi knew not many sword techniques, most of which were worthless, and a small portion were powerful and fierce, belonging to the external scenery level. During the opening period, he only appreciated a few doors, and compared to the Eight Methods of the Well and other sword techniques, the "Heavenly Sword Realm" that forgot the move, forgot the method, and forgot the sword was more in line with his current needs.

  He then directly looked up the entries related to "Tian Dao", the strongest being "Tian Wen Jiu Dao", but this already belonged to the outer boundary, and his own good deeds were a bit insufficient. Moreover, there was another thing that urgently needed to be exchanged.

  Instead, he looked down and saw "Tian Dao", worth 980 good deeds, including the general outline, Tian Dao's eight decisions, and the nine knives after obtaining the law and forgetting the law.

  In Meng Qi's heart, the Heaven Sword Song Que should be similar to the Evil King Shi Zixuan's boundary. According to his understanding, the nine orifices are open, and the three major secrets of yuanqi, jingli, and shenling are unlocked, only one step away from opening the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, breaking through the life-and-death mysterious pass, and building a bridge that spans heaven and earth. Moreover, his knife technique has already approached the realm of law, surpassing his physical body, so it's not surprising that "Heaven Sword" is undervalued.

  Nine hundred and eighty good deeds, Meng Qi is indeed available, the problem lies in that there is still a control technique to be exchanged, and "Tian Dao" and Dugu Nine Swords are similar, only split into two parts. The general outline and the final formula are both four hundred good deeds, and the remaining knife and sword moves as a whole cannot be split again, worth more than five hundred good deeds.

  After some thought, Meng Qi decided to only exchange the essence of the manual. After all, his knife skills were not lacking, what he lacked was the broad vision of a high-level expert, and the state of returning to the origin. By understanding and grasping the essence of the manual, he could also derive the nine knives that Song Que had no way of knowing.

  A flash of light passed by, and Meng Qi's hand held an additional, not too thick or too thin, mysterious manual. It was a dull gray color, looking very ordinary, yet giving off an aura of immense power.

  He casually flipped through it and continued to put it in his bosom. Meng Qi was racing against time to find the "Control Technique".

  His original intention was the "Lion's Roar" of Shaolin's 72 ultimate skills, which has two parts: the opening chapter and the external scene. After all, it is not a move, but the route of true energy flow and the application of mouth techniques. The external scene focuses on the intersection of one's own Zen intention with the external heaven and earth, borrowing from various pure lands.

  The Lion's Roar startles enemies within a large area, causing them to stumble and become dizzy. Their movements slow down, and they may even drop their swords or faint. This is Meng Qi's favorite control technique.

  However, since leaving Shaolin, the martial arts of Shaolin must be used as little as possible. It's not because he's afraid of trouble, but because he's worried about making it difficult for his master. Therefore, Meng Qi flipped through the methods similar to Lion's Roar, also without delay, and quickly browsed through them, feeling which one was suitable and choosing that one.

  In this mindset, Meng Qi soon discovered a technique that was quite suitable for himself, "Lei Yan"!

  It has nine syllables, mouth opens to shock thunder, the effect is similar to a lion's roar, and it also has the ability to impact evil spirits and resentful souls, worth 420 good deeds.

  Meng Qi felt that with his own body bearing the legacy of Lei Yin and part of the Thunder God's inheritance, this technique couldn't be said to have extra enhancements, nor could it be said that there would be changes in the future.

  He didn't hesitate and directly exchanged "Lei Yan", the secret book was very thin, mainly about the running route of true energy, the application of mouthfuls and the coordination of nine syllables.

  Heh, Meng Qi let out a breath. With this, the part he urgently needed to exchange was now complete, and he had even managed to finish it before the task began. Just now, he had felt like he was throwing money around like dirt, but now he only had 321 good deeds left.

  After some consideration, Meng Qi didn't indulge in accumulating too much good karma, after all he was no longer the direct heir of a great sect, and resources were not lacking, exchanging a bit more would increase his chances of survival in the reincarnation task.

  This time, he chose the "Left Hand Mastery" of the two hundred good deeds, laying the foundation for the future left and right mutual borrowing, knife and sword double absolute. Of course, until now, his own non-Yao Xingliu, the knife and sword cannot be coordinated, can only take turns to make out, the remaining good deeds, he also exchanged two bottles of "Virtual Shape Benefit Dan", planning this task in the Jin Zhongzhao sixth pass, start condensing the nose related acupoints.

  Wait until the condensation is complete, and there is still a "Tian Shi Di Ting Wan" that has not been used. It can be tried to grind and open the nasal passages. In an emergency, use Dan medicine to forcefully impact again.

  Looking at the remaining twenty-one good deeds, Meng Qi suddenly felt a pang in his heart, deeply experiencing the feeling of going from great wealth and honor to being extremely poor, from the ninth heaven to the muddy swamp.

  With a calm and focused mind, Meng Qi quietly took out the mysterious black fur and inserted it into the central light column, requesting appraisal.

  Suddenly, the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation directly resounded in his heart, majestic and solemn:

  "Linked quest triggered, uncovering the mystery of Zhenwu Emperor's downfall. Completion percentage will be rewarded. First step: 'Zhenwu Mausoleum' world, either wait for reincarnation or enter with Reincarnation Token."

  "This is a map for finding the true tomb of Wu and has part of its internal structure."

  Meng Qi's mouth was half open, in a state of shock. He had actually triggered the linked task as well, and it even involved Zhen Wu Da Di, one of the legendary Daoist Emperors from the Mythical Era. It was said that during the time when the Dao Ancestor Buddha was not present in the world, he was second only to the Heavenly Emperor, on par with the Demon Master, and possessed three swords of the "Seven Cuts of Heaven".

  The Zhenwu Sect of the three schools of Taoism today is the founder of the sect who accidentally obtained part of the Daoist legacy left by Emperor Zhenwu, which contains the true meaning of "Dao destroys and gives birth to Dao" in the "Seven Swords that Cut Through Heaven", was established thousands of years ago.

  He then took "Zhenwu" as the name of his sect, proclaiming where the orthodox Daoist tradition lay.

  Zhenwu the Great Emperor mysteriously disappeared before the war between Tian Di and Mo Zhu, it was said that his lifespan was coming to an end, so he built a immortal tomb, seeking the way of eternal existence after death. However, since then, Zhenwu the Great Emperor has not appeared again, and is believed to have failed in his attempt, ultimately silently becoming a statue.

  However, from the linked tasks given by the Lord of the Six Paths, the fall of the True Martial Great Emperor was not as simple as everyone thought! Meng Qi was extremely shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

  "Unveiling the mystery of Zhenwu Emperor's downfall... The last few steps probably require external strength to complete, just like Gu Xiaosang's Jiu Chongtian ruins mission. To truly enter, it's estimated that external help will be needed afterwards, otherwise, involving such a powerful matter, there's no way to guarantee personal safety... Also, it's best to have some help, otherwise, it's easy to be isolated and unsupported..." Meng Qi doesn't have the reincarnation symbol now, he can only think about it casually, feeling slightly enthusiastic, but he is very rational and clear that the rewards for the first few steps of this linked mission won't be too high.

  He then gathered his thoughts and looked around, only to find that Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhang Yuanshan had yet to appear, which made him even more perplexed.

  If they said that they had an accident and were already dead, so they didn't enter the cycle of reincarnation, Meng Qi didn't believe it one bit. Not to mention the coincidence of everyone dying together, he had just sent Zhang Yuanshan into the nunnery a moment ago, even if Su Zhenzhen was impulsive enough to poison herself in grief, there wasn't enough time for the poison to take effect.

  "Brother Luo, this mission is a bit strange, isn't it?" He looked at Luo Shengyi who had already finished exchanging and decided to ask this stranger teammate with more experience in reincarnation than himself.

  He believed that he, who had encountered strange occurrences in three consecutive worlds, was among the minority with a speed of improvement that far surpassed the vast majority of reincarnators. Luo Shengyi, on the other hand, came from an ordinary family and had never joined any major sect or gate, nor did he have any rumors about robbing others on the Jianghu. To be able to grow to this point and climb onto the Human List, he must have experienced many more reincarnated worlds than himself.

  Luosheng Yi simply stood here, like a mountain peak, with an imposing momentum, majestic and proud. Obviously, his strength had improved again. He smiled and said: "It should be a single-player task plus a new player task, and coincidentally our single-player tasks are in the same world, so it became a cooperative task."

  Meng Qi nodded, if it weren't for Luo Shengyi, he would have thought of the single-person task and bringing a new person task too. After all, Qi Zhengyan and Zhang Yuanshan had already experienced it before. It's just that now with Luo Shengyi around, he was a bit confused: "Thanks for pointing that out, Brother Luo."

  "Zhen Ding, I didn't expect you to also make it onto the human ranking list, it's truly shocking." Luo Shengyi naturally saw the human ranking list and knew who the Shaolin renegade was.

  Meng Qi's expression stiffened as he replied: "Luck, just luck."

  Does he also know about my nicknames "Lei Dao Kuang Seng" and "Mang Jin Gang"?

  Two people who didn't know each other well were chatting casually about unimportant things, but just for a moment, white fog rose and a beam of light descended, revealing three unfamiliar figures.

  Meng Qi's eyes lit up instantly, with a normal aesthetic sense. The girl in the middle was 15 or 16 years old, with a straight bob and big eyes, her height and figure were just right, each of her facial features was delicate on its own, but when combined, they gave off an even more striking cold beauty, not inferior to Jiang Zhiwei and Gu Xiaosang. She wore a simple white dress, holding an ancient seven-stringed zither, looking elegant and refined.

  Her expression changed slightly, but she didn't show any fear. Her eyes scanned the surroundings and finally fixed on Meng Qi and Luo Shengyi.

  The other two were men, one of whom was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green shirt and a linen scarf. Although his appearance was ordinary, he looked gentle and calm, full of bookish air. At this time, he was quite frightened, but still able to control himself and did not make any excessive movements.

  There was also a man in his thirties with sharp eyes and eyebrows, who first froze for a moment, then quickly calmed down, looking at Meng Qi and the other person with a serious expression.
