Zhou Yan was still the same as before; although he looked old, he was full of energy and vitality.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, and when he saw Yang Cheng coming, he immediately maneuvered the wheelchair over to him.
"Haha, I've heard that you, Grand Commander, killed that traitor Dugu Cheng yesterday and subdued 300,000 Wuwei Army soldiers in one battle. It can be described as earth-shattering and awe-inspiring."
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Senior, don't listen to those people's nonsense. It's not that exaggerated."
I also used a strategy to lure Dugu Cheng away, and then seized the opportunity to kill him when he was alone.
Otherwise, that's 300,000 Imperial Guards; once they're assembled, even 300,000 pigs couldn't slaughter them.
Zhou Yan looked Yang Cheng up and down: "I don't think it's an exaggeration."
Now, Grand Commander, your vital energy is so strong that it far surpasses that of ordinary people.
You could even say that your strength, Grand Commander, is now practically on par with that of a terrestrial deity.
Such strength is enough to destroy cities and move mountains; numbers are merely a number to the Grand Commander, utterly meaningless.
"The path of cultivation is long, and my strength is just the beginning for some people."
"I've come to see you today, senior, because I want you to help me appraise a cultivation technique."
With that, Yang Cheng handed the Hunyuan Xuan Gong to Zhou Yan.
"This Hunyuan Xuan Gong is a technique left behind by Dugu Cheng. I am somewhat interested in this technique. Senior, could you please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it?"
"Oh? It's actually Dugu Cheng's technique? Then I'll have to take a good look at it."
Zhou Yan immediately became interested.
He's now completely useless; his only interest is browsing through the martial arts manuals in the library.
However, while some of the martial arts manuals in the library are quite good, they are not among the most advanced in the martial arts world.
The Heaven-Stealing Divine Technique given to Yang Cheng before was already the most advanced one.
The top-tier martial arts techniques of major sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect and Shaolin Temple are naturally not found in the Sutra Repository.
Dugu Cheng's rise to power was rapid, and Zhou Yan was curious about what kind of cultivation technique Dugu Cheng practiced that was so powerful.
However, as he looked at it, Zhou Yan's expression became serious.
After a long while, Zhou Yan slowly closed the cultivation technique and let out a long breath.
"Senior, is there a problem with this technique?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the technique. In fact, it can be said that this level of technique is not something that ordinary people can modify, because even if you change a single word, it will seem out of place."
No wonder Dugu Cheng was able to reach this level in just three years using this Hunyuan Profound Technique; this technique is no ordinary skill.
"How extraordinary is it? Even more powerful than my Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Changing Technique?"
Zhou Yan nodded solemnly and said, "Strong, and more than one level stronger!"
The Great Art of Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun is the ultimate martial art, but the Primordial Chaos Art, in addition to reaching the ultimate martial art, also contains a flavor that points directly to the Great Dao!
Although there are only a few traces of its essence, it is enough to completely transform this technique, making it truly unparalleled!
I can say that I have never seen such a powerful technique in my life. If I were at my peak, I would even be willing to abandon my own martial arts to relearn this Hunyuan Xuan Gong!
However, the upper limit of this technique is too high, it doesn't seem like it's for martial artists to practice. Even martial arts grandmasters can only barely get started.
Dugu Cheng was truly blessed by heaven. He happened to encounter a surge in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in recent years, which allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Otherwise, a few years ago, this unparalleled skill would have been nothing more than a useless skill—tasteless to use, but a pity to discard.
Yang Cheng was also surprised that Zhou Yan would give the Hunyuan Xuan Gong such a high evaluation.
Yang Cheng originally thought that the power of the Hunyuan Xuan Gong that Dugu Cheng had displayed was already the limit, but he did not expect that it was only Dugu Cheng's limit, not the limit of these grace techniques.
Then Zhou Yan shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that this Hunyuan Xuan Gong is not complete, otherwise its upper limit would be even higher."
"Is this a fragment of a cultivation technique?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No, this is a normal cultivation method."
The ancestors who created this technique must have touched upon a higher level of the source of power, which enabled them to create the Hunyuan Xuan Gong.
However, relying solely on this wisp of origin is too crude, resulting in the Hunyuan Xuan Gong seemingly having only a framework, while its content appears quite empty.
"Grand Commander, did you notice this when you fought Dugu Cheng?"
Yang Cheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It seems that's indeed the case."
His Hunyuan Xuan Gong is powerful enough, but it only increases strength, not all aspects.
He used other people's martial arts techniques, and then enhanced them with Hunyuan Xuan Gong before using them. Although they were not weak, they always felt a bit awkward.
Because the Hunyuan Xuan Gong is still the Hunyuan Xuan Gong; it hasn't been enhanced by those martial arts techniques, and his soul isn't particularly strong either; in fact, I severely injured him with my mental techniques.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "That's right, that's why I said this technique is incomplete."
The only thing worthy of the framework of this Hunyuan Xuan Gong should be an extremely perfect martial arts technique.
His physical body and soul are perfectly intact, with internal cultivation of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and external casting of a flawless golden body.
He possesses profound skills, yet his abilities are ever-changing. His fists, palms, fingers, legs, and even a single thought or a wisp of qi can evolve into countless variations, showcasing the ultimate in combat and slaughter.
Only in this way can it be considered the complete Hunyuan Xuan Gong.
As he spoke, Zhou Yan's eyes held a hint of fascination, as if this was the ultimate martial arts and the pinnacle of power that he had always imagined.
