Taking a deep breath and calming his emotions, Meng Chixing spoke, "I never imagined that there were such geniuses as you in the world. It has truly broadened my horizons."
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Senior is too kind."
Meng Chixing snorted coldly in his heart, then slowly said, "However, with your strength, if you wanted to take action against the Northern Shaolin Temple, it would be a piece of cake. Why bother using us? Are you too lazy to take action, or are you just being a little too cautious?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Perhaps it's a combination of both! Moreover, the Great Yuan Kingdom came first. If I were to take action and resolve the Northern Shaolin Temple, the Great Yuan Kingdom would likely return empty-handed. If one person tries to take all the benefits, problems are bound to arise."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Meng Chixing knew perfectly well that Chu Qinghe was referring to the martial arts manuals and wealth accumulated by the Northern Shaolin Temple over a thousand years. He immediately turned his head slightly and said, "Using the Northern Shaolin Temple as a price to stop the war in my Great Yuan Kingdom, while you do not have to expend a single soldier, you are generous with other people's money to satisfy yourself. What a clever scheme."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "You're too kind, senior."
After responding to Meng Chixing's few words, Chu Qinghe changed the subject and said, "Since I have answered a few of your questions, senior, it would be good to return the favor. I also have a question in my mind. I wonder if senior Meng would be willing to answer it for me?"
Meng Chixing asked in a deep voice, "What's the problem?"
Chu Qinghe asked, "This junior would like to know, Senior Meng, why have you already condensed the Three Flowers, and why don't you use the Three Flowers to refine the Martial Golden Core?"
"Huh? You didn't know?"
However, upon hearing Chu Qinghe's question, Meng Chixing looked at Chu Qinghe with surprise, as if he was surprised that Chu Qinghe did not know about this matter.
Seeing Meng Chixing's reaction, Chu Qinghe was puzzled and confused.
A few breaths later, Meng Chixing, as if he had just realized something, asked with a strange light in his eyes, "The martial art you just used was a Dao-level technique?"
Upon hearing Meng Chixing's question, the women beside him, including Shuimu Yinji, were all surprised and turned their gazes toward Meng Chixing.
However, having spent so much time with Chu Qinghe, the women didn't show much reaction despite their surprise at Meng Chixing's sudden mention of "Dao-level martial arts."
At the same time, in response to Meng Chixing's words, Chu Qinghe turned his head slightly and shook his head, saying, "So Senior Meng also knows about 'Dao-rank martial arts', but unfortunately, what I used just now was not a Dao-rank martial art, which has disappointed Senior Meng."
Meng Chixing frowned and said, "If it's not a Dao-level martial art, how can you mobilize the power of heaven and earth with the cultivation of a Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe slowly replied, "It is merely an ability that arose after my sword cultivation reached the Heavenly Sword Realm."
Meng Chixing asked in confusion, "Sword Dao realm?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's right. To move all things with one's mind and make them into moves, and to make all things in heaven and earth into swords, is the Heavenly Sword Realm."
As he spoke, he slightly raised his index finger.
Subsequently, in the perceptions of Meng Chixing and Pang Ban, although Chu Qinghe did not use any true energy, wisps of fiery red heaven and earth power were drawn from the surroundings and condensed at Chu Qinghe's fingertips, and were quickly stretched into a semi-transparent, half-inch-long sword-shaped phantom.
Not only that, when this sword-shaped phantom materialized, as Chu Qinghe's sword intent condensed within it, the power of heaven and earth emanating from the sword shape at Chu Qinghe's fingertips revealed a distinct sense of sharpness.
Upon witnessing this scene, both Meng Chixing and Pang Ban's expressions froze, revealing surprise.
Chu Qinghe, on the other hand, remained calm, his eyes even showing a hint of sincerity.
Martial arts of the highest rank are already enough to drive the world mad and make people covet them.
Not to mention the Dao-rank martial arts, which are a level higher than the Heaven-rank.
If the world were to learn that Chu Qinghe had mastered Dao-level martial arts, it would only bring endless trouble.
Why would Chu Qinghe admit to this on his own initiative?
It would be better to avoid the main issue and use "Heavenly Sword Realm" as a cover.
Anyway, this thing is just a state of mind in swordsmanship, a kind of understanding of swordsmanship, not a martial arts technique.
Just like sword intent.
It is mysterious and profound, intangible and unlearnable; one can only comprehend it through one's own efforts.
It won't cause trouble for Chu Qinghe.
With Chu Qinghe's earlier cover-up, Meng Chixing and Pang Ban naturally had no suspicions.
After a few moments of contemplation, Meng Chixing exclaimed, "I never imagined that swordsmanship could have such an effect once it reaches a certain level."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe asked, "How did you learn about Dao-rank martial arts, senior?"
Meng Chixing glanced at Chu Qinghe and then slowly said, "The martial arts of my Demon Master Palace are all derived from the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy'. I once found a book in the Demon Master Palace that recorded that the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' is divided into nine volumes. If the nine volumes are combined, they can become another Dao-level martial art that reaches the Heavenly Rank and above. Every move can draw upon the power of heaven and earth and make it work for oneself."
Despite what he said, Chu Qinghe could clearly sense a hint of disappointment in Meng Chixing's words.
Chu Qinghe also confirmed that the disappointment in Meng Chixing's tone stemmed from the discovery that he had not cultivated "Dao-level martial arts".
This made Chu Qinghe even more puzzled.
Then, under Chu Qinghe's gaze, Meng Chixing spoke again: "Since you can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, you must be able to sense the characteristics of the power of heaven and earth, right?"
"characteristic?"
Hearing Meng Chixing's words, Chu Qinghe seemed to have thought of something and said, "Senior, do you mean it's difficult to control?"
