. Baguazhang, also known as Guardian Baguazhang,
can instantly unleash eight palm strikes, intercepting attacks from eight directions around the user. It's a powerful melee defensive fighting technique.
Mo Tang was currently lacking a defensive fighting technique, so upon discovering this high-level Xuan-level fighting technique in Mo Cheng's collection, he immediately upgraded it to perfection. He
also learned a low-level Xuan-level finger technique, the Jade-Breaking Finger, and a mid-level Xuan-level palm technique, the Wind-Splitting Hand.
While Mo Tang might not need to use these two fighting techniques often, the energy points were just sitting there anyway, so it was a good way to recycle them.
He wouldn't convert too many low-level energy points like these anymore, simply maintaining a few thousand so he could upgrade whenever he found a fighting technique he liked.
As a result, Mo Tang's attributes have become

In reality, Mo Tang's current desire is for body-refining Dou Skills.
However, on the Dou Qi Continent, such Dou Skills seem extremely rare, even comparable to flying Dou Skills.
Perhaps the most familiar element to Doupo fans in the original novel is Xiao Yan's acquisition of the low-level, heavenly-grade Dou skill, the Vajra Glazed Body.
But this is a heavenly-grade Dou skill, created by a former saint. How many of this caliber exist in the Jiama Empire, let alone the entire Northwest Continent, or even in Zhongzhou?
So, while some things are fine to think about, they can't be forced until you possess the necessary ability.
A silent night passed.
By the time the morning sun once again covered the earth, Mo Tang had already boarded his flying beast bound for the Imperial Capital from Yancheng.
Of course, Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye were also traveling with him.
Nalan Yanran was actually quite curious...
curious about how her teacher would deal with this incredible individual, and how she would approach the Mo Clan.
After all, a Douling Spirit under the age of twenty-five was a rare sight, even in the Yunlan Sect.
Her own words aside,
Nalan Yanran was confident. While the other person's cultivation speed was terrifying to her, she believed that by the time she reached his age, she would be no less capable than him! Even stronger!
But besides herself, there was no one in the entire Yunlan Sect who could compare to Mo Tang!
Nalan Yanran doubted her teacher would value such a gifted child's talent and strength and accept him directly into the sect.
Of course, as for whether he would refuse the Yunlan Sect's offer, such a thought never crossed her mind.
She didn't think anyone in the Jiama Empire could refuse the Yunlan Sect, or her teacher...
Yunlan Mountain, nestled in the vast grasslands just a few dozen miles from the imperial capital, Jiama Holy City.
The entire peak resembled a giant sword rising from the grasslands, piercing the sky, abruptly nestled in the center.
When Mo Tang and his companions' flying beasts reached high above Yunlan Mountain, the first thing he saw was a massive military camp at the foot of the mountain...
The vast camp stretched out across the flat grassland, its white tents stretching for miles. Through the white tents, he could faintly make out soldiers training.
Mo Tang raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "It seems that this is the elite army corps stationed by the royal family at the foot of Yunlan Mountain..."
The entire Jia Ma Empire knew about this matter and understood the purpose of the royal family's actions.
There was no way around it. The Yunlan Sect, the most powerful faction in the empire, had grown into an unimaginable behemoth through generations of inheritance.
It had stood on this continent for millennia, a history far longer than even the Gama Empire itself.
If it weren't for the sect's rules prohibiting sects from seizing imperial power...
During the previous dynasties, the Yunlan Sect would have completely taken control of the entire Gama Empire, becoming a unified force alongside the Celestial Snake Empire and its Imperial Palace.
Perhaps noticing the focus of Mo Tang's gaze, Nalan Yanran's expression flickered with a hint of disdain.
Of course, this wasn't directed at Mo Tang, but at the legionaries below...
In Nalan Yanran's mind, the imperial family's actions were pure hypocrisy!
With the Yunlan Sect's strength and prestige, they would have already taken control of the empire. So why would they allow their army to operate so openly under their noses?
They were nothing more than a bunch of vulgar people blinded by worldly power.
It was impossible to comprehend, even to imagine, the goals pursued by a sect like the Yunlan Sect!
"Alright, Mr. Mo Tang, we've arrived. Let's descend here," Ge Ye reminded Mo Tang.
Flying over Yunlan Mountain was naturally prohibited, so they landed directly on a large platform at the foot of the mountain.
As their feet touched the solid ground, they looked up to see ancient stone steps that had stood for who knows how many years.
"Mr. Mo Tang, please follow me,"
Ge Ye spoke again.
Although he was considerably older than Mo Tang, and as an Outer Sect Elder of the Yunlan Sect, his status far surpassed that of Mo Tang, the so-called Great Elder of the Mo Clan...
even so, Ge Ye remained extremely polite.
This was understandable, because what Ge Ye valued wasn't Mo Tang's present, but his infinite future!
Following the stairs, Mo Tang, led by Ge Ye, arrived at a vast plaza paved entirely with a single, monolithic mass of stone.
Glancing across the square, he saw countless Yunlan Sect disciples in moon-white robes silently cultivating...
Mo Tang could even sense faint traces of sword intent from quite a few of them!
"Sure enough, this Yunlan Sect is worthy of being the most powerful force in the Jia Ma Empire. With so many disciples, most of them are quite capable and exceptionally talented!"
Although he didn't know exactly how many Yunlan Sect disciples there were in the entire square, of the dozens of disciples within Mo Tang's small map, more than half were Fighting Masters, and there were a dozen or so Great Fighting Masters...
If we were to calculate based on this number, how many powerful individuals would there be among the thousands of Yunlan Sect disciples?
It was simply terrifying!!!
