Chapter 510: The Greatest Butterfly Effect

“Regarding Master Zhang’s question, I have simultaneously practiced both the ‘Emei Jiuyang Gong’ and the ‘Shaolin Jiuyang Gong’. I have named this set of techniques the ‘Jinhua Jiuyang Gong’! Now, with just one last page left, I can complete the entire ‘Jiuyang Shen Gong’… I came to Wudang this time out of desperation, hoping that Master Zhang would kindly teach me the core principles of the ‘Wudang Jiuyang Gong’.”
“Young Happy truly has a remarkable fate—being able to persuade the Shaolin Master Kongxiang to grant him the ‘Shaolin Jiuyang Gong’. Back then, I spent three days and nights outside Shaolin Temple with my disciple, but the abbot refused to see us. Thankfully, my child Wuji has great fortune; otherwise, he would likely have suffered from cold toxins and followed my short-lived disciple Cuishan. Although I am a cultivator, thinking of how the Shaolin abbot nearly extinguished my poor disciple Cuishan’s lineage ten years ago still stirs strong emotions in me—my Taoist robes flutter wildly in the wind!”
“Master, please calm down.”
Realizing the situation was serious, Happy quickly said, “What happened to Hero Zhang back then was indeed regrettable. It was a great loss for Wudang and even the entire martial world. But every gain comes with a loss, and good people are rewarded—this is all predestined. Now, with Hero Zhang and Yin Susu’s descendants showing kindness and chivalry, just like the original five heroes, and Wuji now as the leader of the Ming Sect guiding it toward goodness, it seems everything is ordained by fate… If the five heroes knew, they would be pleased—this is truly a cause for celebration.”
After hearing Happy’s words, Zhang Sanfeng reflected on his disciple’s trust and sighed: “Wuji is blessed with great fortune. As for the Jiuyang Gong, let’s not discuss it for now… But…” He paused, then looked at Happy. “Though you have done me and Wudang a favor, the ‘Wudang Jiuyang Gong’ cannot be given to just anyone. Do you have the confidence to pass my test?”
“Please teach me, Master Zhang!” Happy was overjoyed at these words.
Zhang Sanfeng’s expression turned serious. “My child Qingshu received a message from Emei Sect a few days ago and left the mountain suddenly without saying goodbye. But according to messages from Ming Sect disciples, it seems Qingshu was tasked by Zhou Zhiruo to do something. I’ve been uneasy these past few days…”
“Zhou Zhiruo?” Happy’s heart skipped a beat. He never expected that even now, Song Qingshu had gone to Emei to become Zhou Zhiruo’s pawn. It seemed that after her character changed drastically, Zhou Zhiruo was gradually resorting to any means necessary. Could this test be meant for me…?

Just as Happy was worried and anxious, Zhang Sanfeng had already laid out the task.
Many signs indicated that Zhou Zhiruo wanted to take down Zhang Wuji, and Zhang Sanfeng was afraid that Song Qingshu would be used against him, so he hoped Happy could stop her.
“I’ve heard that you played a major role in helping Zhou Zhiruo become the leader of the Emei Sect. Your relationship with her must be quite good. That’s why I hope you can intercede to get Qingshu back to Wudang and resolve the feud between Zhou Zhiruo and my son Wuji.”
Sure enough!
With Zhang Sanfeng’s heavy trust, Happy suddenly felt a tremendous pressure on her shoulders…
The most complicated things in the world are emotional entanglements, and triangular relationships are even more deadly!
Although Song Qingshu was the easiest to deal with, he couldn’t resort to force for the sake of the “Wudang Jiuyang Gong” or to avoid offending the remarkable Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhou Zhiruo, though on good terms with him, harbored deep love and hatred toward Zhang Wuji. Once a woman becomes obsessed with love, she can be terrifying, and Happy wasn’t confident she could resolve this conflict.
As for Zhang Wuji, though kind-hearted and indecisive, he might be a breakthrough point—but he had Zhao Min, a very powerful woman, backing him. In front of her, any mistake could be turned against him, potentially leading to losing both his wife and his allies.
Zhang Sanfeng’s task was indeed challenging!
There were two conditions to complete it: one was for Song Qingshu to return to Wudang, and the other was for Zhou Zhiruo to retreat and practice diligently. These two conditions were like two immovable mountains!
But when she saw the reward—Zhang Sanfeng’s “Wudang Jiuyang Gong”—Happy gritted her teeth and accepted the task.
The last page of the “Jiuyang Divine Skill” finally appeared. For it, Happy was determined to go all out.
Even if it meant injuring Song Qingshu, she would bring him back to Wudang!
As for Zhou Zhiruo…
She’d act according to the situation—appeal to emotions, reason with her, and if all else failed, eliminate Zhao Min!
Happy thought maliciously, then suddenly laughed self-mockingly. She knew she was resorting to extreme measures for the “Jiuyang Divine Skill.”
After bidding farewell to Zhang Sanfeng and descending the mountain, Happy set off again on a rapid journey to Emei.
At lightning speed!
…
At that time…
An exciting news spread throughout the martial world.
After nearly ten months of operation, the game’s developers decided to organize a large-scale martial arts tournament.
Many speculated that it might be because the competitive mechanisms of the Mu family inspired the game’s developers to hold such an event.

But many people also remembered the offline competition held more than three months into the game’s operation. The officials promptly announced that, after some time of planning and adjustment and learning from the previous offline competition, they were preparing to hold a Central Plains Martial Arts Festival. This martial arts festival was very different from ordinary games. In previous competitions, the game would design everything for the players, with the players as the protagonists. However, the officials stated that in this martial arts festival, the players would not be the only protagonists… Players could fight against various martial arts masters from across the world, even facing some famous figures such as Zhang Sanfeng from Wudang, Zhou Zhiruo from Emei, Zhang Wuji from the Ming Sect, Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng, and even Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Linghu Chong. For specific rules, please check the announcements on the official website! When this news spread, it caused a sensation in the martial arts world… Even Kai Xin was so shocked by this news that he temporarily quit the game to check the details on the official website… Sure enough! The official website had been completely revamped, with information about countless masters and their unique skills displayed on the page. The images of many legendary martial arts masters, passed down through generations, came to life on the screen—some outstanding, some with fierce looks, and some with serious expressions and cold demeanor. Many masters, along with their titles, were clearly listed on the homepage of the official website. Kai Xin was completely confused… Another unknown butterfly effect had occurred. Such a martial arts festival had never been held in his past life, so he had no idea what was going on this time. Suppressing his excitement, Kai Xin checked the date and rules for the martial arts festival… It would take place in three days. There would be a period for players to register afterward. Registration could be done through gangs in major cities or within various sects for competitions. This time, players would represent their sects and participate in the festival as part of their sect’s team. In other words… Kai Xin represented the Murong family!
