Lu Yuan knew very little about "Ark".
He temporarily put this matter aside.
Just left the secret chamber.
He saw a young girl in a pink long dress, waiting at the entrance for a long time.
The girl was eighteen, with stunning beauty, her features were as if meticulously carved, without a single flaw.
Her soft, smooth black hair flowed like a waterfall down her shoulders.
Especially her long, fair legs, slender and straight, making it hard to look away.
Just by standing there, she was like a peach blossom proudly blooming in the cold winter, exuding vibrant youthful energy.
When she saw Lu Yuan, a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?"
"No worries, it's been troubling the Elder Grandmaster during this time."
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
The girl's name was Tao Yaoyao, three years older than Lu Yuan, the youngest female Sect Leader in the history of the Emei Sect.
Although her inheritance as Sect Leader was once suspected by many of being a dark horse.
But after knowing her background, all martial artists fell silent.
Tao Yaoyao comprehended the Tai Chi Fist Intent at seven and successfully stepped into the Grandmaster Realm at eighteen.
Her grandfather was the Wudang Old Grandmaster, her grandmother was Master Jingxin of Mount Emei.
Her father was the chief of the Martial Arts Association, and her mother was a long-time friend of the current Empress.
Was it too much for her to be a Sect Leader?
And ever since Lu Yuan performed martial arts at the age of three.
Tao Yaoyao became a little fan of Lu Yuan.
As soon as she learned that Lu Yuan was healing at Wudang.
She immediately put everything aside and rushed from Mount Emei to Wudang.
In the following half year.
Lu Yuan went nowhere and directly stayed at Wudang.
He is now a Martial Arts Grandmaster, already near the end of the Martial Dao, and improving cultivation isn't a matter of a day or two.
The Martial Extreme Daoist School has also been on the right track.
With Father Lu managing, he doesn't need to worry.
So ever since his reincarnation, this has been his most leisurely time.
He spends the day reading Martial Arts Classics and occasionally sparring with Tao Yaoyao.
Life was very enjoyable.
Moreover, the effect of [Heaven Rewards Diligence] was downright defying heaven.
Even if Lu Yuan didn't cultivate, his strength would keep growing just by breathing!
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In the year 2139 of the Daqian calendar.
Lu Yuan turned sixteen.
On this day.
The sun rose, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.
Lu Yuan had a premonition that he was about to break through.
"At the moment of breaking through the Martial Arts Extreme Realm, Heavenly Person Communication and Unity of Thought and Spirit, one must not be disturbed."
The encounters of the Sweeping Monk and Wu Hongsheng were still vivid in his mind.
Thinking about it, the people of the Red Lotus Sect would never let go of this excellent opportunity to eradicate him.
With this in mind.
Lu Yuan decided to ask someone to protect him.
A few days later.
The Baji Daoist School, the Wudang Old Grandmaster, the Elder Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and others received invitations from Lu Yuan.
Nine Grandmasters and two Martial Arts Grandmasters gathered at Mount Emei!
"These people are still not enough," Wu Hongsheng shook his head and said.
With the Red Lotus Sect's crazed extent, who knows what they would do?
Moreover, the Dragon Team represents the will of the Imperial Court, which no individual can resist!
"Amitabha Buddha, the old monk is late."
A Buddhist chant suddenly came from the mountain below.
All the Grandmasters suddenly stood up, showing expressions of disbelief.
Because the visitor was none other than the Sweeping Monk!
And behind him were the Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin, along with many other masters!
"Old abbot, why are you here?"
Wu Hongsheng asked respectfully.
Back then, he was high-spirited and entered the Shaolin Temple three times, but always stopped at the Scripture Pavilion.
No one understood better than he did how terrifying the Sweeping Monk's power was.
This was a supreme existence of Body Enlightenment, Half-Step Extreme Realm, capable of resisting missiles with his flesh body!
If he hadn't been forcibly interrupted during his breakthrough, the Sweeping Monk might have already taken the final step!
"We are all comrades in the Martial Arts, we should lend a hand to our young friend!"
The Sweeping Monk clasped his hands together and said calmly.
The other Grandmasters also shared the sentiment.
Although there were many conflicts and frictions between the major ancient martial sects.
No one who reached the Grandmaster Realm was short-sighted.
The current Martial Arts Realm is like a drying lake that will soon completely vanish.
And the strong emergence of Lu Yuan is their last hope!
Moreover, they had a deep blood feud with the Red Lotus Sect.
It's time to settle this score as well.
"The kindness of all the seniors will be forever remembered by this junior."
Lu Yuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and spoke solemnly.
"Donor Lu, rest assured and make your breakthrough, leave the other affairs to this humble monk."
The Sweeping Monk's tone was calm, yet brimmed with immense confidence.
Now on Mount Emei.
Gathered ten Grandmasters, three Martial Arts Grandmasters, and one at the Half-Step Martial Arts Extreme Realm.
As well as hundreds of Inner Strength Martial Artists.
It's no exaggeration to say.
A third of the high-end combat strength of the entire Martial Arts Realm gathered here.
This is not just Lu Yuan's personal matter, but a battle concerning the life and death of the Martial Arts Realm.
No matter what, we cannot lose!
Lu Yuan nodded.
Then turned and headed to a secret chamber.
This chamber was located hundreds of meters underground, constructed according to nuclear defense standards.
Even if subjected to a nuclear bombardment, it would remain intact.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged and began his seclusion.
"Boom!"
His Inner Strength was too majestic and vast.
As soon as he activated his Vital Energy, the sound of rolling thunder echoed.
The entire chamber seemed to whip up a storm of energy, leaving the room in disarray.
"Hoo!"
The thin spiritual energy dispersed in the air, at this moment, under some force's pull, gathered like rivers flowing into the sea.
Finally, it condensed into a visibly surging tide of spiritual energy, all poured into Lu Yuan's body!
"Boom!"
Driven by this energy.
Lu Yuan's momentum soared, ready to take the final step at any time!
But he wasn't in a rush.
Instead, he concentrated, pushing his advanced martial arts to the extreme.
Baji Fist!
Xingyi Fist!
Tai Chi Fist!
Wudang Pure Yang Wuji Skill!
Dragon Tiger Mountain Golden Light Spell!
Shaolin Seventy-Two Skills!
Each martial technique was mastered to the point of perfection.
Yet Lu Yuan was not content with just that.
He aimed to gather the strengths of a hundred martial arts, forging all techniques into one!
"Heaven Rewards Diligence, open!"
"Flash of Inspiration, open!"
With the support of his talent.
Lu Yuan's speed in integrating martial techniques accelerated.
Moreover, with each martial art he fused, his Inner Strength grew stronger!
...
As Lu Yuan was immersed in cultivation.
Outside, a bloody and pungent massacre with earth-shaking battle cries unfolded.
The once peaceful and ethereal Mount Emei was now stained with blood!
Hundreds of genetic warriors, clad in red robes and bearing the Red Lotus emblem on their chests, surged towards the summit of Mount Emei.
These warriors had been genetically modified and enhanced.
They felt no pain and feared no death.
Equipped with power armor and armed with laser weapons.
Fully armed, they resembled cold and ruthless killing machines.
Even in groups, they were capable of threatening Grandmasters!
After a brief battle.
Most Inner Strength Martial Artists suffered heavy casualties, even several Grandmasters were injured.
"No, the Red Lotus Sect lunatics are like a cluster of fearless ants, impossible to kill them all!"
An Inner Strength Martial Artist roared in anger, only to have his head blown apart in the next moment.
The other martial artists, witnessing this, felt a sense of despair.
Though reluctant to believe it, they couldn't deny.
The glorious past of martial artists was long over.
In this modern world dominated by technology.
The power of technology was overwhelmingly strong.
When the enemy wore power armor and wielded laser rifles.
The martial artists seemed like primitive beings, still relying on fists and legs in combat.
What's the difference from walking to their deaths?
As everyone's morale plummeted.
Tao Yaoyao, silent, boldly stepped onto the battlefield.
She wielded a longsword, charging at the forefront.
Pushing the Tai Chi Sword Intent and Emei Nine Yang Skill to their limits.
She left behind a trail of severed limbs, like a female War God.
But just as the tide of the battle began to shift for the better.
The arrival of a group.
Once again plunged the hope that had just risen in the hearts of all martial artists into the abyss.
