Chapter 186 The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
"Congratulations on your successful transmigration. The current film and television world is the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Film and Television. Please choose your identity."
"The difficulty will vary after you choose your identity. Please choose one of the following villain identities as your new world identity."
Having had enough of the world of Swordsman, Yang Ke once again traveled through time, arriving at the film and television adaptation of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
"Identity 1: Zhang Cuishan's eldest son, three years older than Zhang Wuji, villain mission difficulty: 1 star."
"Second Identity: Son of Yang Dingtian of the Ming Cult, Villain Mission Difficulty: 2 stars."
"Identity 3: Junior Uncle of Wudang. Zhang Sanfeng discovered his terrifying talent and took him as a disciple on behalf of his master. Villain mission difficulty: 3 stars."
The system quickly provided the identities that could be chosen in the current world, but Yang Ke felt that none of them were quite right; this was the difficulty level.
"System, why is Zhang Cuishan's son, the villain, only rated 1 star in difficulty, while Wudang's junior uncle is rated 3 stars?"
Yang Ke was puzzled. The main problem was that Zhang Cuishan knew the whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and his wife Yin Susu was a member of the Ming Cult. These were all enemies, so it should be very difficult.
On the contrary, it's the junior martial uncle of Wudang, whose seniority...
Even the abbot of Shaolin Temple would have to call him "senior brother," so why is he only rated 3 stars?
"Host, the reason why Zhang Cuishan's son is an easy villain is that everyone in the martial arts world is your enemy. Your revenge is not a villain's business."
"On the contrary, it's quite a test for the junior martial uncle of Wudang to play a villain."
The system gave an explanation.
"That makes sense. I'm the villain, and the other side is my enemy. So what does my revenge have to do with the villain?"
Yang Ke was speechless.
Although the task was very simple, Zhang Cuishan's eldest son had no interest in it.
The son of Yang Dingtian is rated 2 stars, but at the beginning of the game, you still need to integrate the Ming Cult, so your identity is practically nonexistent, making it quite difficult.
Thinking about it this way, only the junior uncle of Wudang can be chosen.
After all, Yang Dingtian's son was originally an enemy of the six major sects, so he was also a conventional villain in everyone's eyes. Isn't it reasonable for him to do villainous things?
"System, I choose Junior Uncle of Wudang."
After thinking it over, Yang Ke naturally chose to become a junior master at Wudang.
"Host identity selection complete. Next, we will issue the main storyline and villain missions."
"Main mission: Rescue female protagonists and supporting characters such as Yin Susu, Zhao Min, and Zhou Zhiruo, and change their fate. The final reward will be determined by the number of people rescued."
"Villain Mission One: Defeat the Great Yuan Dynasty."
"Villain Mission Two: Become the leader of the martial arts world."
The system task doesn't seem difficult, but it starts at a hellish difficulty level, since the current time is when Zhang Cuishan and the others return to the Central Plains and are about to arrive at Wudang Mountain.
If she commits suicide, wouldn't the main storyline at the beginning lose a lot of rewards?
After selecting his task, Yang Ke also checked the situation before him.
The current timeline is that Zhang Cuishan and his two companions are on their way to Wudang Mountain when Zhang Wuji is kidnapped by two mysterious men disguised as Yuan soldiers. Yin Susu is very worried, but since her beloved son's whereabouts are unknown, she has no choice but to go to Wudang Mountain to pay her respects to Zhang Sanfeng.
"Hey, I'm only 15 years old. This is too early, it's not a good thing."
Yang Ke looked at his younger self in front of him and was speechless.
His martial arts skills are alright. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's only 15 years old; he still has the internal strength of a peak grandmaster. This is probably due to his age, as his meridians are not yet stable.
In terms of combat strength, his martial arts skills are still intact. Currently, the only person who can rival him is Zhang Sanfeng. As for the others, he can easily take them down with a single sword strike.
"Although Cao Cao is a good man, I really can't take care of his widow if Zhang Cuishan isn't dead."
Yang Ke knew that Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday was in a few days. The other five major sects used the excuse of offering birthday wishes to visit Wudang Mountain, hoping to learn about Xie Xun and the whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber from Zhang Cuishan and his wife as soon as possible.
When Yu Daiyan teaches the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation, he discovers that Yin Susu is the culprit who caused his paralysis. Zhang Cuishan, upon learning the truth, feels ashamed before his fellow disciples and will atone for his sins with his death in the Zixiao Palace.
It would be perfectly reasonable for me to step in then.
After making up his mind, Yang Ke continued his cultivation in the back mountain.
He usually stayed in the back mountain. Mainly because he was too young, Zhang Sanfeng was worried that he would be blinded by worldly desires and waste his talent. Therefore, only a few of his direct disciples, such as Song Yuanqiao, knew about his situation.
Meals were served by special people, and occasionally Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Ke would sit down and discuss martial arts, deducing each other's techniques.
"It's alright. The Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap is a very suitable movement technique for me. As for Tai Chi, it will be perfected in a few days, and I can learn it then."
Yang Ke quickly noticed that he had gained the Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap skill in his skill points, and he was quite satisfied.
Aside from Wei Yixiao, there aren't many other movement techniques in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. The only slightly better one is the Wudang Cloud Ladder Leap.
Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap can be considered the lightest of light skills. It emphasizes the agility of the body and does not use varied footwork to confuse the opponent. The key is to be light and nimble, and to move freely up and down.
Yang Ke's attributes are comparable to twice that of others, and with his profound internal strength, if we only compare speed, his internal strength sprint is even stronger than Wei Yixiao's.
However, the Sky Ladder can change its trajectory in mid-air, which can be said to be surprisingly effective in certain scenarios.
In the following days, Yang Ke naturally focused his attention on the Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap and the Seed of Sword Intent.
Well, the main reason why Zhang Sanfeng valued him and accepted him as a disciple was because of his potential to cultivate sword intent.
Although Zhang Sanfeng didn't know why Yang Ke had such strong sword energy, it didn't stop him from understanding Yang Ke's talent, which was why he made him his junior uncle.
After all, Song Yuanqiao and the others are too old to take on disciples, and there will be a gap in the line of disciples. What will happen to the power of Wudang if Zhang Sanfeng passes away in the future?
Junior Uncle is different; his status and position speak for themselves.
If Yang Ke were truly capable, all the previous sect leaders would be a generation below him. As a junior uncle with power similar to a supreme elder, Yang Ke wouldn't need to compete for the sect leader position and could even protect Wudang.
Three days later, the six major sects gathered at Wudang Mountain, ostensibly to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday, but in reality, they were all waiting for Zhang Cuishan's arrival.
After arriving at Wudang, Zhang Cuishan learned that it was Zhang Sanfeng's centennial birthday. Naturally, he hurriedly brought Yin Susu to congratulate Zhang Sanfeng. Then came the matter of the five major sects coercing Zhang Cuishan to hand over Xie Xun's whereabouts.
Zhang Sanfeng was indeed not a good candidate, and Song Yuanqiao could not allow his master's centennial birthday to be marked by bloodshed, so he led a few fellow disciples to set up the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation to meet the enemy.
"Senior brother, if you don't stop it, things could get really bad."
Yang Ke quietly appeared next to Zhang Sanfeng, ostensibly to persuade him, but actually to give him a heads-up.
Since he himself couldn't make a move too early, it was natural to let Zhang Sanfeng first establish his dominance over the heroes.
"It's alright. Don't be fooled by the fact that Cuishan has been gone for many years. I don't think its strength has diminished much."
"As long as we let them set up the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation, I believe we won't lose too badly."
Zhang Sanfeng's disciples were all top-notch masters, but their levels of skill differed. He wasn't worried about dealing with Shaolin's Fang Zheng and Miejue, who were only at the initial stage of Grandmaster level.
