Yang Cheng truly didn't expect that Master Xuanwei would actually offer the cultivation technique to him.
But upon closer inspection, it makes sense.
For martial arts grandmasters of the level of Master Xuanwei, their cultivation has even surpassed that of the ancestor who created this technique.
Therefore, cultivation techniques are not actually that important to them.
If he could exchange his cultivation technique for something else, Master Xuanwei would be happy to do it.
What does the real person want to trade?
Yang Cheng told the others to leave first, while he had a detailed conversation with Master Xuanwei.
Master Xuanwei said, "The Grand Commander has annihilated the Thirty-Six Great Bandits and also visited the Heavenly Sword Sect. He should know about the bottomless abyss where the Thirty-Six Great Bandits obtained their supernatural powers."
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Luo Fei said that place is very dangerous, and its power does not belong to our world."
Master Xuanwei said, "There are records about this place in the classics of the Xuanzhen Daoist sect, but there is no specific address."
After years of investigation, I have finally confirmed that it is related to the Thirty-Six Great Bandits. Later, I learned that Sect Leader Luo Fei had once entered one of them to investigate.
I had previously sought out Luo Fei, hoping to invite him to investigate. However, I fear my own strength is insufficient to accomplish this alone. Although I have lived long enough, I have not yet had enough of living.
In the entire Central Plains martial arts world, the only ones qualified to enter the abyss with me are Luo Fei, Fakong of Shaolin Temple, and Grand Commander Yang.
The Holy Duke Zhang Liang of Miao Jiang does possess this power, but his strength comes from illegitimate sources, and I, this humble Taoist, do not wish to provoke him.
As for those alien races beyond the realm, I naturally wouldn't consider them.
"It was Luo Fei who recommended that I come to see you, Grand Commander. He said that although you are a member of the martial world, your actions are not driven by a desire for martial arts."
"Then why don't you go find Fakong of Shaolin Temple? My reputation in the martial arts world isn't very good."
"Even if no one chooses me to go, I will not join forces with those bald monks."
Master Xuanwei had always appeared calm and otherworldly, but when Shaolin Temple was mentioned, he showed a disdainful expression.
The conflict between Taoism and Buddhism has penetrated to the very core of the leaders of these two sects, and even the seemingly otherworldly Xuanwei Zhenren could not avoid it.
Yang Cheng was pondering for a moment.
Yang Cheng was quite tempted by Xuanwei Zhenren's suggestion.
Actually, he also wanted to explore that abyss, but he would only choose to do so after he completed his mission.
Now that Master Xuanwei has spoken, I can agree.
"I, Yang Cheng, have agreed to the deal with the real person. However, while exploring the abyss is possible, it's not now. I need to finish dealing with my current affairs before I can arrange to go with the real person."
Master Xuanwei nodded and said, "No problem. I've waited this long, so a year or two won't make a difference."
"Grand Commander, please take this. Whenever you are ready to go, simply crush this jade talisman to let me know."
As he spoke, Master Xuanwei handed Yang Cheng a communication jade talisman, the principle of which was unknown.
Just before leaving, Master Xuanwei suddenly said, "Grand Commander, you must be careful on your trip to Shaolin Temple."
Yang Cheng said with a half-smile, "Is the Master afraid that I can't defeat those bald monks from Shaolin Temple?"
Master Xuanwei shook his head and said, "The Grand Commander is incredibly powerful. Even I am not confident of defeating him, let alone those bald monks from Shaolin Temple."
However, when I recently performed divination on the fortune of Shaolin Temple, I discovered something strange.
The fortunes of Shaolin Temple are constantly shifting between extremes. One moment it was utterly gloomy, and it was clear that even if it hadn't been wiped out, it must have suffered a severe blow.
The latter, however, was incomparably glorious, as if it had become the state religion, with its Buddhist light shining throughout the Central Plains.
This fluctuating fortune is very strange and doesn't match the current situation. I don't know why it's like this.
Therefore, Grand Commander, you still need to be careful.
After Xuanwei Daoist left, Yang Cheng also frowned and began to ponder.
It's understandable that Shaolin Temple is facing a period of bad luck. With Yang Cheng about to invade Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Temple certainly won't hand over its martial arts techniques directly. Therefore, a battle between the two sides is inevitable, and Shaolin Temple will definitely suffer heavy losses.
But how did such incredible luck come about?
Even if they win this battle, it will be a Pyrrhic victory for Shaolin Temple, and they will be severely weakened. They may even face an even more intense attack from Yang Cheng. So where did this incomparable glory come from? It is completely illogical.
But since Master Xuanwei told him about it, it must be true.
The divination techniques of the Xuanzhen Taoist sect are quite accurate when it comes to matters of destiny.
Unable to come up with a solution for the time being, Yang Cheng stopped thinking about it and simply told the others to continue on their way.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered why Master Xuanwei would suddenly go and divine the fortune of Shaolin Temple.
This old Taoist priest seems quite cunning. He must have known that he was about to attack Shaolin Temple and wanted to calculate how badly Shaolin Temple would decline. However, he ended up with this very strange result.
The sight of Yang Cheng heading towards Shaoshi Mountain was witnessed by the various sects along the way, and this time they were truly convinced.
Previously at the martial arts tournament, some of them felt that they had been caught off guard by Yang Cheng. They hadn't even brought their sect's elites. If they had all come out, they might not have been able to defeat Yang Cheng, but at least they wouldn't have lost so humiliatingly, handing over their techniques without even daring to fight.
Seeing Yang Cheng rushing to Shaolin Temple without stopping, they realized the source of his confidence.
