Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

A house.

Mysterious life and Wu Dade had already left.

Suddenly,

A figure emerged from the boundless flow of sand and gently descended into the house.

The sand disappeared.

This figure lifted a hand, drew from the Void, and instantly extracted a card.

The card emitted a faint light.

On the card was a picture of a girl kneeling in prayer.

Countless Soul Bodies surrounded her, joining her in a gesture of devout prayer.

Beside the card, on a page, appeared lines of ice crystal small print:

"By leveraging the 'Flag of Quicksand's' 'Undercurrent Carving' the card freed itself from its original era and followed you to the moment of Pangu's awakening."

"Card name:"

"Eternal Souls."

"Shadow Follower card, Critical card, unique to the era."

"Description: ????"

"Note: Even if all the souls on the card are reincarnated, it will not affect the card's power because its laws have already taken shape."

Wu Xiaode looked at the card and fell into deep thought.

What did it mean to bring back the souls of a past Pangu Era to this current Pangu Era?

"Flag of Quicksand." Wu Xiaode spoke.

"I know what you want to ask. Let them go be reincarnated now and we can talk later." The Flag of Quicksand said.

Wu Xiaode looked at the card.

Fei Fei, smiling, looked back at him together with the many souls.

"I feel the pull of the Death Law... Maybe we'll meet soon, or perhaps it will take a long time, but either way, I'm forever grateful to you,"

Fei Fei said.

"The tough years have passed, remember my words—anyone who bullies you, come find me," said Wu Xiaode.

"I will," Fei Fei laughed.

The souls emerged from the card, circled Wu Xiaode several times, and gradually disappeared into the Void.

Wu Xiaode was somewhat sentimental.

Advances in technology enabled souls to be eternal, but this eternity mingled with human desires and evils.

Perhaps that was the real meaning of the critical point.

"Now can we talk about why we needed to get this card?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

The Flag of Quicksand said, "Civilization can develop onto a wrong path and thus cause a 'critical point', creating abnormality – something 'Pangu' must avoid at all costs."

"What does this have to do with my Shadow Follower Card?" asked Wu Xiaode.

"Through your card, we've brought those souls at the critical point to this moment in Pangu, allowing them to be reincarnated—"

"Pangu will naturally gain all their experiences."

"Pangu will adjust the destinies of all beings in the world, preventing the future from treading down that path."

"By injecting the virus of death, are we giving the world a chance to develop immunity in advance?" asked Wu Xiaode, crossing his arms.

"You could say that," said the Flag of Quicksand.

"Doesn't that mean... as long as we get a sample of all 'critical points',

Pangu will become invulnerable?" asked Wu Xiaode.

"That's unrealistic, 'critical points' are too many, and they keep emerging as civilization progresses," said the Flag of Quicksand.

"Then what's the point in us doing this?" Wu Xiaode shrugged.

"To win Pangu's favor—look, it's already midnight," said the Flag of Quicksand.

Wu Xiaode blinked.

The Book of the Dead silently opened before him.

Lines of ice crystal print appeared:

"A brand new day has begun."

"The wall's commissions have refreshed, ready to be taken and posted at any moment."

"Since your Primordial Sequence is dragging its feet, today's Pangu gift will continue to be bestowed upon you, to help you and your sequence grow stronger."

"Additionally, your contribution of numerous souls from the past has helped Pangu acquire certain intelligence."

"This time the gift has become more valuable."

Wu Xiaode looked quizzically at the prompt rune and spoke:

"These are the benefits you mentioned."

"Exactly, Pangu's gifts are no joke; they'll help you grow stronger," said the Flag of Quicksand self-assuredly.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to speak, he suddenly sensed some danger.

He stiffened and swiftly dodged to the side.

Bang!!!

From the broken roof, a meteorite fell down, smashing hard into the exact spot where Wu Xiaode had been standing.

The ground sank deeply, forming a meteorite crater.

"What kind of gift is this? It's outright attempted murder!" Wu Xiaode said indignantly.

He had barely finished speaking when he noticed something odd about the crater.

The meteorite appeared to have broken through some prohibition, bursting open a buried wall below ground.

Looking through the wall, he saw it was a tomb.

A tomb?

Wu Xiaode jumped down, walked to the edge of the wall, and looked inside.

Inside the chamber sat a motionless skeleton.

In front of the skeleton was a thick book.

Wu Xiaode approached and shook his head,

"This book is unreadable; if touched, it will immediately turn to ash."

"Is that so?" the Flag of Quicksand interjected.

Wu Xiaode opened his mouth as if to speak, then shut it.

He touched the Flag of Quicksand and swung it forcefully—

Ten thousand years before.

It was still this tomb chamber.

A man of massive presence sat cross-legged, clutching his chest, coughing up blood.

"Cursed, I killed all the robbers and obtained this unrivaled Fist Scripture, yet I'm at the end of my rope…"

"It's really hard to accept."

He pulled the Fist Scripture from his bosom and placed it on the ground in front of him.

"If someday someone obtains it... I hope that person will bury me, not let me die here like this."

The man murmured softly.

His gaze gradually lost its shine, and his breathing was about to stop.

Void flashed.

A hand emerged from the endless sands, grabbed the Fist Scripture, weighed it, and then took it back.

The man sitting cross-legged widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

But he was already dying.

Then a voice rose from the sands:

"Bury you, right? No problem, I will take care of that for you,"

The voice fell.

All the sand disappeared.

Ten thousand years later.

Wu Xiaode buried the skeleton and then began to look at the Fist Scripture in his hands.

This was a gift from Pangu.

—It should be stronger than ordinary boxing techniques.

As he thought, he flipped open the Fist Scripture.

The first page read:

"To practice this boxing, one must not be a eunuch."

Eunuch?

How did it come to eunuchs?

He flipped through the whole book, but found the entire book was in gibberish, completely unreadable.

The only clue was—

At the very last sentence of the last page, there was a comma.

A comma...

Was this hinting that the book was not complete?

If it's incomplete, does that mean it's a castrated version?

Then one might not practice it?

Wait!

Maybe there is a second part of this Fist Scripture!

Wu Xiaode was thinking when suddenly a spark of spiritual light flashed through his mind.

"This Fist Scripture is incomplete... it reminds me of another Fist Scripture."

Wu Xiaode took out the Holy Treasure Ring and directly concentrated his Divine Thought on the Jade Tablet Mountain, thoroughly searching.

He found it!

At the peak of the Jade Tablet Mountain, there was a jade stele engraved with a Fist Scripture.

Below the boxing technique there was a paragraph:

"This boxing technique dates back to the dawn of Hongmeng, performed by a Saint from beyond the heavens amidst a deadly battle, indescribably powerful."

"I searched countless worlds, but only found half of it."

"Such a pity! Such a pity!"

"—Thank you, Tao Spirit Liu."

Wu Xiaode stared blankly at these words, then looked at the jade stele.

The stele was all scrambled.

Indeed.

Isn't this an identical style?

Just then, the jade stele shook and transformed directly into a book, flying out of the Holy Treasure Ring.

The two books merged together.

A line of ice crystal letters suddenly appeared:

"This Fist Scripture is half recorded by the Saint and half witnessed by Pangu, now finally merged into one."

"You have obtained the complete version of the Hongmeng Fist Skill:"

"Tai Chu."

"Dao Annihilating Fist."

"Practice requirements:"

"After bathing, burning incense, praying, and meditation, you may begin to comprehend."

"Note:"

"This boxing technique, originally fragmented, was not to be revealed, yet now you have obtained it, and countless unforeseen events will come to prevent you from practicing this boxing technique."

Unforeseen events?

It seems I need to act quickly!

Wu Xiaode casually summoned a stream with Soul Power and was about to undress to start bathing.

This is the first step in the preliminary work for understanding a boxing technique!

Just as he was about to start washing away the dirt from his body, his heart skipped a beat, and he directly took out a game controller.

Just then.

He sensed the commotion at Wu Dade's place.

—Wu Dade, acting as a body double, automatically triggered the reminder mechanism, alerting him that he must carry out related controls at this moment!

Elsewhere.

Sare Town.

Emperor Bai walked into the bar, looking at the daydreaming Wu Dade.

"Dade, get ready, we need to hide for a bit."

He said.

Wu Dade didn't move.

Just as Emperor Bai was growing suspicious, he suddenly stirred.

"Why should we hide?" Wu Dade asked.

"The next calamity is coming, far more terrifying than the fire calamity, and even we might perish if we're not careful."

Emperor Bai said seriously.
