Chu Yuanwu's words were not empty words. During Xu Long's sword dance, he had already discerned the unrestrained and free-flowing artistic conception of the Lonely Nine Swords. However, compared to the Dugu Nine Swords that Chu Yingjian had mastered, Xu Long's swordsmanship was clearly much cruder and simpler, lacking the ultimate mastery.
Xu Long, who had been smug at first, was shocked upon hearing Chu Yuanwu's words. He realized that the martial arts he had mastered were only the tip of the iceberg, far from the entire secret manual. He immediately restrained his previous smugness and began to seriously consider the profound meaning contained in this secret manual, realizing that its unfathomable depth far exceeded his imagination.
Xu Long took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn and serious. He spoke slowly, his tone tinged with humility and gratitude, "Thank you very much, Senior Chu Yuanwu, for your guidance. I was indeed a little carried away just now. If possible, I sincerely request that you allow us to enter Tengwang Pavilion for a day to admire it."
The representatives of the other factions present, as they were not masters of the Grandmaster level, could not help but appear somewhat restrained and nervous when facing a peak Grandmaster like Chu Yuanwu. However, after witnessing the tremendous transformation Xu Long underwent after viewing the secret manual, their doubts about the authenticity of the peerless secret manual vanished.
What they are thinking about now is no longer questioning, but how to continue to stay in Tengwang Pavilion, hoping to get some inspiration from it, even if it is just a glimpse.
For them, the entrance fee of one hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing at all. After all, if they are lucky enough to get a glimpse of the essence of the secret book, it will be a priceless treasure that will benefit them for a lifetime.
Their cultivation and status were far inferior to Chu Yuanwu's, which made them dare not make a request directly to Chu Yuanwu. They could only stare at Chu Yuanwu with expectant eyes, and deep in their hearts they hoped that Chu Yuanwu would nod and agree to Xu Long's request.
Chu Yuanwu was well aware of their thoughts, but he knew that such a request could not be easily granted, because things are valuable because they are rare. If they were allowed to stay in Tengwang Pavilion for a long time, they might no longer think that those peerless secret manuals were so precious and rare treasures.
Chu Yuanwu smiled faintly, his tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable indifference as he said, "Tengwang Pavilion is a newly built sacred place by His Majesty the Emperor of Wei. It is naturally impossible for you to stay there permanently. Moreover, you have already spent a day and a night in Tengwang Pavilion admiring the peerless secret manual. Now, what you most need to do is return and thoroughly digest and understand the profound knowledge contained in the peerless secret manual, rather than continue to stay on Chuitai Mountain."
After hearing Chu Yuanwu's words, Xu Long and the others, though somewhat unwilling, had to admit that Chu Yuanwu's words did make sense. They exchanged glances and finally nodded, indicating their willingness to accept Chu Yuanwu's arrangement.
Although they might not have mastered any profound martial arts, they all knew they had memorized many precious secret manuals. Even if they couldn't comprehend the mysteries themselves, they could still organize these contents for the elders in the sect to study and comprehend in depth.
Xu Long took a deep breath and bowed respectfully, saying, "Since Grandmaster Chu has made such arrangements, we must naturally comply. Grandmaster Chu, please take care of yourself. We will prepare to descend the mountain now. I hope that in the days to come, we can achieve something, and then we can come back to ask for advice and learn from Grandmaster Chu."
People from other factions also saluted Chu Yuanwu and said in unison: "Master Chu, please take care of yourself."
After saying these words, they began to walk towards the foot of Chuitai Mountain one after another. After all, they still had ten precious Hundred Refinement Weapons waiting for them to fight for. These weapons were not only rare treasures, but also had immeasurable value in improving the strength of individuals and sects.
On the way down the mountain, everyone didn't gather together as they had on the way up, but instead followed their own groups, quietly discussing their insights. It was clear that everyone had their own plans and ideas in mind.
Xu Long, who was walking at the end of the group, turned to Empress Canglan and the two female guards beside her. He asked with a hint of anticipation, "Did you learn anything special from that ancient secret book?"
The two maids beside Empress Canglan shook their heads slightly with subtle expressions on their faces, silently expressing that they had not gained any understanding from the secret book. However, Empress Canglan herself was unusually silent, her eyes revealing a deep contemplation, as if she was repeatedly pondering some difficult question in her mind.
Seeing this, Xu Long had a few guesses. He knew that given Empress Canglan's personality, if she truly hadn't gained anything, she would definitely not refuse to answer his questions. However, she chose silence at this moment, which undoubtedly indicated that she must have discovered something within the secret manual, but she wasn't completely sure yet.
After a while, Queen Canglan seemed to come back to her senses from her contemplation. She spoke slowly, with a hint of caution and uncertainty in her tone:
"I've learned something from this secret manual, but I'm not entirely sure if this is the legendary technique. I need to continue demonstrating and perfecting this technique in my mind. If I can successfully perfect it, then perhaps we can create a whole new martial art."
Xu Long and the two maids couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise upon hearing Empress Canglan's words. Deep down, they felt immense admiration for the Empress's wisdom and abilities. Xu Long himself had only grasped a glimmer of the sword intent within the secret manual, yet even so, his strength had significantly improved, fueling his desire to pursue martial arts even more.
If the Queen Canglan could truly create a brand new martial art, the impact and impact of this martial art would be unimaginable. At the same time, how awe-inspiring is the power and profoundness of this peerless secret manual that the Wei Kingdom possesses?
At this moment, everyone fell silent, no one continued to speak, and they all kept a greater distance from the people from the forces in front.
At the same time, similar conversations were quietly taking place within the other nine factions. Each faction's elders were asking the disciples they had brought to Chuitai Mountain whether they had gained any insights. However, all nine disciples unanimously replied that they had not.
Although the elders felt a little disappointed, they also knew that it would be difficult to gain anything from comprehending a peerless secret book without opportunity, so they did not blame these disciples.
