Moreover, their holy ruler has always had grand ambitions, wanting to unify the Western Regions and dominate the desert, and is absolutely unwilling to be subordinate to others.
Now, the Holy Lord not only treats Li Yao with utmost respect, but also wants to submit to Li Yao.
What happened to their holy leader?
Could it be that the Holy Lord's brain has really been damaged?
Chapter 276 The Ease of Seeking Nothing, the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan
Although the Blue Moon Saint Lord's brain wasn't completely destroyed, it was nearly so.
Because at this moment, the Blue Moon Saint Lord has become Li Yao's puppet.
Previously, the Blue Moon Saint Lord spared no expense to unleash the ultimate move of the Formless Breaking Yuan Qi: Sky Crimson Thunder Break, which summoned heavenly lightning.
Originally, even if the Blue Moon Saint Lord won, he would have died from exhaustion.
However, after Li Yao used 'Maha Boundless' to dispel the heavenly lightning, he quickly revived the Blue Moon Saint Lord with his vibrant Dao True Qi.
Furthermore, he turned the Blue Moon Saint Lord into his puppet.
The reason he saved the Blue Moon Saint Master was that he wanted to use the Blue Moon Saint Master to control the Blue Moon Sect and the Western Desert.
The Western Regions desert has an extremely unique and important geographical location.
Controlling the desert can prevent foreign invasions of China.
Moreover, by taking control of the Blue Moon Sect, they also curbed the Blue Moon Sect's ambition to covet the Central Plains.
Because the Blue Moon Sect has always harbored ambitions to conquer the Central Plains.
Of course, besides the Blue Moon Sect, the Defeatless Sect also needs to be under our control.
Therefore, Qiu Jue soon became Li Yao's puppet, just like the Blue Moon Saint Lord, and Bai Jue Wu Men also announced his allegiance to Wushuang City and submitted to Li Yao.
Now, both major forces in the desert have been brought under Li Yao's control.
Of course, Li Yao's main purpose for this trip was to seize the Golden Knife from Xiaolong.
Subduing the Blue Moon Sect and the White Absolute Sect was merely a side effect.
Now that the Blue Moon Saint Lord had submitted to Li Yao, he naturally handed over the Little Dragon Golden Knife.
Li Yao obtained the Little Dragon Stealing the Golden Knife, but did not immediately copy it.
Because the Little Dragon's Golden Knife is not valuable; what is valuable is the Sword Soul of the Defeat Sword inside.
He worried that if he copied the Little Dragon's Golden Knife now, he wouldn't be able to copy the Sword of Defeat later.
Besides Xiaolong stealing the Golden Knife, Li Yao also obtained the 'Formless Yuan Qi' from the Blue Moon Saint Lord.
Then, Li Yao had the Blue Moon Saint Lord summon Lu Ruyan.
Soon, a gentle and beautiful young woman appeared before Li Yao.
In the original novel, there is a complicated and entangled love-hate relationship between Lu Ruyan and the Blue Moon Saint Lord.
Blue Moon Saint Lord is the successor of the Formless Breaking Yuan Qi.
The Lu family, however, is the lineage of the Seven Reversal Cold Heavenly Tribulation, and the two families were originally hostile to each other.
However, Lu Ruyan fell in love with the Blue Moon Saint Lord and was willing to abandon her family to follow him.
In the original novel, Lu Ruyan became pregnant with Blue Moon Saint Lord's child in order to gain his attention.
Unexpectedly, the Blue Moon Saint Lord believed that the existence of children would only hinder his career. When he learned that Lu Ruyan was pregnant, he became even colder towards her.
Lu Ruyan hated the Blue Moon Saint Lord's ruthlessness to the core.
After giving birth to her son Xue Xinnan, she taught him how to approach the Blue Moon Saint Lord and reclaim everything that belonged to him.
To defeat the Blue Moon Saint Lord, Xue Xinnan has been practicing the 'Seven Reversal Cold Heaven Tribulation' for many years and has bribed the Blue Moon Saint Lord's confidants, Bai Liantang and others, to carry out the most vicious assassination.
Ultimately, the Blue Moon Saint Lord was defeated and killed by Xue Xin Nan.
However, Yu Buyifeng and others, the Holy Lord of Blue Moon, immediately rallied the righteous path and launched a counterattack against Xue Xinnan, and also targeted Lu Ruyan.
In the end, Lu Ruyan was defeated and died, and Xue Xinnan lost everything.
Of course, at this time, Lu Ruyan was still deeply in love with the Blue Moon Saint Lord.
However, to prevent this potential problem from occurring, Li Yao instructed the Blue Moon Saint Master to treat Lu Ruyan sincerely, so as to avoid the Blue Moon Sect from falling apart in the future.
Subsequently, Li Yao demanded that Lu Ruyan hand over the secret manual of the 'Seven Reversal Cold Heaven Tribulation'.
Originally, Lu Ruyan did not want to hand it over.
However, at the request of the Blue Moon Saint Lord, she obediently handed over the Seven Reversal Cold Heavenly Tribulation.
Xiaolong has already obtained the Golden Knife, the Formless Breaking Yuan Qi, and the Seven Reversal Cold Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Yao did not rush to leave the desert.
Because there is something else here that he is worth searching for.
That is: The Easy Secret of No Desire!
Legend has it that in the past, when the ancient Loulan Kingdom was at its most powerful, the King of Loulan heard from somewhere that there were four auspicious beasts in the land of China, and that eating their flesh and essence could grant one immortality.
Therefore, the ancient Loulan king once sent experts to search for the traces of the four auspicious beasts.
Although the King of Loulan could not find any trace of the four auspicious beasts, by a twist of fate he obtained the remains of one of them, the dragon turtle.
After obtaining the remains of the dragon turtle, the King of Loulan, relying on his martial arts talent, comprehended a martial art called "Wuqiu Yijue" from the mysterious turtle shell patterns left on the remains.
This divine skill emphasizes following the natural way, and can innovate ordinary moves, turning the mundane into the magical, and showcasing a completely new realm.
It allows one to blend into the universe, conceal oneself, and enable one to exert one's greatest strength by conforming to nature and following its laws.
In the original novel, after learning the Wuqiu Yijue, Bu Jingyun immediately used the essence of the Wuqiu Yijue to improve the Paiyun Palm, and then pushed the Huo Family Sword Technique to a whole new level.
Later, Bu Jingyun even merged himself into the world, making it impossible for Long'er's sword, Twenty-Three, to find a target.
Therefore, the "Easy-to-Choose Technique" is essentially a cheat-level martial art.
Guided by the "Heavenly Cry Scripture," Li Yao quickly located the capital of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
Looking at the ancient city ruins covered by layers of yellow sand in front of him, a complex look flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
No matter how powerful a force or individual may be, they can never withstand the erosion of time.
Only eternity is the right path!
After sighing for a while, Li Yao turned his gaze to a stretch of yellow sand.
Immediately, he leaped into the air, rising from the ground, his five fingers forming claws, grabbing at a patch of yellow sand in mid-air.
Instantly, a powerful suction force emerged from Li Yao's palm.
All that could be seen was the layer of yellow sand in front of Li Yao, which, under the powerful suction force, converged towards Li Yao.
Soon, a huge sand pile appeared beneath Li Yao.
At the same time, the ruins of an ancient city, buried by yellow sand, gradually appeared before Li Yao's eyes.
Li Yao only stopped using his strength when the entire ancient city of Loulan was in front of him.
Immediately, he moved and entered the ancient city of Loulan, which had been buried by yellow sand for a long time.
Li Yao walked along the streets of the ancient city, looking around at the dilapidated buildings.
Despite its dilapidated state, he could still discern from it that the ancient city of Loulan was once extremely prosperous and thriving.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and the world has transformed.
The once-prosperous ancient kingdom of Loulan has been swallowed up by the long river of history, turning into ruins, lying quietly beneath the rolling yellow sand.
After a careful search, Li Yao discovered a rather spacious stone chamber.
Inside the stone chamber, there are forty-nine lifelike stone sculptures of soldiers, each holding a stone sword and wielding it in different and unique poses.
Then, Li Yao's gaze was drawn to a tortoise shell in a corner of the stone chamber.
"Those are the remains of the dragon turtle!"
Li Yao's eyes lit up, and he quickly went over.
The enormous tortoise shell before us was hundreds of times larger than that of an ordinary tortoise.
Upon closer inspection, the tortoise shell is engraved with yin and yang trigrams, the patterns of which resemble the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching.
It's unclear whether these are the natural markings on the dragon turtle or were later inscribed by a master.
Li Yao reached out and touched the tortoise shell.
Immediately, several notification sounds rang in his mind.
First, he copied the dragon turtle remains and decomposed them.
Luck Points +1000!
Dragon Turtle Power *1!
Unexpectedly, the remains of the dragon turtle still contained some of the dragon turtle's power.
The power of these dragon turtles, combined perfectly with the dragon turtle essence blood that Li Yao had obtained from Xiao Sanxiao, made his physical body even more powerful.
Next, Li Yao obtained the "Wuqiu Yijue" and integrated this technique into the "Da Dao Zhen Jing".
The Wuqiu Yijue is not simply a martial arts mental cultivation method or a martial arts technique manual, but rather an exposition of a profound principle of the universe.
Practitioners can use the Wuqiu Yijue (a martial arts technique) to deduce and integrate the various martial arts they have learned, forming a brand-new martial arts philosophy that suits them.
Therefore, the "Easy Secret of No Seeking" and Li Yao's "True Scripture of the Great Dao" do have some similarities.
The Great Dao True Scripture can also integrate various martial arts, and further develop and optimize them to form a new and more complete martial art.
In this way, after Li Yao integrated the Wuqiu Yijue into the Dao Dao Zhenjing, the Dao Dao Zhenjing's fusion and deduction functions became more powerful and more complete.
Moreover, the Wuqiu Yijue can also deduce and integrate non-technique martial arts.
After integrating the Wuqiu Yijue, Li Yao couldn't wait to cultivate the brand-new Dao Zhenjing.
During his cultivation, his physical body continuously emitted a purple mist, which surprisingly formed the shape of the Eight Trigrams.
