* “Guo’er, the internal energy of the Quanzhen sect is the most orthodox in the world, though progress is slow, you will not run into any trouble. You can learn other sect’s and school’s martial arts but when it comes to internal energy it would be advisable to practice Xuan Men martial arts."
* The qinggong technique called “Flight of the Golden Eagle”
* The most formidable of Quan Zhen's skills – the "Three Flowers Atop" Palm technique. 

== Big Dipper Formation ==

The 'Big Dipper Formation' was the Quanzhen sect’s highest kung fu. At its most refined state, when seven people of extremely high martial arts combined together, it could be said that it has no match under heaven. Guo Jing knew the essence of the formation; only by assuming the 'Northern Star Position' was he able to drive the position, and control its movements, not allowing it freedom. However, because the seven of them weren’t fluent with the formation it allowed him to do this. If it was Ma Yu, Qiu Chui Ji who was controlling the formation, the enemy would not be allowed to so easily to assume the 'Northern Star Position'.

The strongest aspect of the 'Big Dipper Formation' is being able to respond from the left and right, mutually aiding each other.

* '''Cutting off the Door:''' "The two Taoists moved into position immediately after the palm moving left and right, wanting to attack together. Guo Jing was cut off in the middle. The two moves were called 'Cutting off the Door'."
* "Guo Jing looked on, the crowd was made up of groups of seven, and formed fourteen sets of the “Big Dipper Formation”. Each group of seven sets of the “Big Dipper Formation” formed one single large “Big Dipper Formation”. From the “Tian Shu” to the “Yao Guang”, the force of them was extraordinary. The two large “Big Dipper Formations” were different from each other, one normal, one odd, opposing each other, forming the angle of a wing. Guo Jing gasped, 'I have never heard of this type of “Big Dipper Formation” from elder Qiu, presumably this formation has been created within the last few years. Compared to the original one that ancestor Yang created, this is another level.'"
* "One thing the formation tries to do is to lure the enemy to attack the one leading the formation, each small formation will use this and come from the east and west, the south attacking the north, the enemy would then fall into their trap."
* Along with his palm technique, he was using Quanzhen’s “Big Dipper Formation”. He went to and fro as he fought and it was as if he had separated into seven.
* “Xuan Ji “Jade Pearl” formation followed by Yao Guang “Moving Light Strike!”
* He saw that Mei Chaofeng was about to grab the top of Qiu Chuji's head, suddenly two palm winds came from left and right; it was Liu Chuxuan and Wang Chuyi striking together. Who would have thought that these two palms were complementing one another, one 'yin' [negative], the other 'yang' [positive], the power, unexpectedly, was much stronger than the internal strengths of two people added together. Mei Chaofeng felt this surge of power in midair; it was like a cannonball pushing her upward. Guo Jing in the other room was also puzzled; he thought that although Liu and Wang two people's martial art skill was higher, they were more or less in par with Mei Chaofeng or with her senior. Even if those two combined their forces, they would not be able to casually throw her out like that. Only Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and other people of their caliber would have this kind of ability; how did the Quanzhen Seven Masters manage to do that?
* The Big Dipper Formation was Quanzhen Sect's highest and most mysterious martial art, developed by Wang Chongyang with countless meticulous care. The main principle was combining forces in combat with a wide range of variations; it might even be used in the battlefield. When the enemy attacked, the one directly bearing the brunt did not need to exert any energy to resist; it was the companions on his/her flanks who would launch the counterattack. It was as if one person with several people's martial art; the power was truly irresistible.

== Breaking Ice Palms ==

* Wiping the Dust
* No Debts No Dues
* Tiger's Way Hand
* '''Purple Lightning Strikes Through Words:''' Zhao Zhijing’s left palm hung in the air, his right palm aimed to chop across Yang Guo’s left cheek; this stance of “Purple Lightning Striking through Words” was a refined stance of advanced martial arts. As the palm arrives halfway, the direction suddenly changes, originally aimed to the left cheek it now was aiming to chop down on his neck on the right side.
* He saw that his arm didn’t bend as he threw the plate, he was using his fingers alone; this was a technique of the Quanzhen.
* Suddenly his left hand turned ferociously towards Zhang Ahsheng as it shifted between fist and palm over and over again without rhyme or reason. This move, called “Flying Mountain Outside the Heavens,” was based on strange form and incredible speed, and was meant to take an opponent by surprise.

== Common Demise Swordplay ==
* Scour the Ocean to Slaughter the Dragon
* Starry Wind Sweeping Leaves: A low cut to the legs.
* Separating the Flower, Brushing Away the Willow
* '''One Sword Into Three Distinctions:''' Every stance had two intentions, when the sword comes out it was one stance, but within it was artifice, the sword stance separated into two. This was Quanzhen’s “One Sword into Three Distinctions” (yi jian hua san qing) technique; every stance can be made into three.
* '''Fixed Yang Needle:''' Yelu Qi’s left hand raised his sword, his left foot stepped forward, a stance of “Fixed Yang Needle”, the sword was thrust upwards, it was the orthodox sword skills of Quanzhen. This stance’s air and chi were absolute, the strength, power and movement all has its fine points. At first appearance it looks very ordinary, but to reach a state where there was no weakness is incredible.
* Green Dragon Exits The Sea
* That stance achieved two aims at once, attacking and defending at the same time, solving the crisis he was in. This stance was called “The Wild Goose Attacks from the Side”, a technique from Quanzhen swordplay.
* In the midst of danger, Yang Guo had used a stance of Quanzhen swordplay which was surprisingly effective, so he used another Quanzhen stance, “The White Rainbow Traveling Across the Sky”, the flat side of the sword struck the wheel. The sword was light, the wheel heavy, that attack originally had no chance, but the strike was just at the right place, fulfilling the martial art theory of ‘Four Liang Moving a Thousand Jin’, and the iron wheel changed directions, flying towards Jinlun Fawang’s head.
* '''The White Crane’s Bright Wing:''' a stance of Quanzhen swordplay.
* “Sweeping Across the Northern Desert”
* “The Horse Trampling on the Descending Flowers”
* His “Big River Heads East” move was one of Quanzhen’s most powerful and swiftest sword techniques.
* Hoary Wrist Bracelet
* The name ‘Swordsmanship of Common Demise’ was designed for a person to fight for his life against a much more powerful opponent. Every move is designed to attack the enemy in a vital spot with incredible force and without the slightest care for one’s own life. Although this is a highly refined sword skill, it’s actually very similar to those scraps between ruffians and the lowlifes of the streets. As it turns out the Quanzhen Sect has a nemesis that resides in the western regions. This man was much more powerful than any of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and he was as ruthless as he was powerful. At one time only the disciples’ master could subdue and control this man, but now that the master had passed away, there was a chance that this man could come back to the central plains at any time and destroy the entire Quanzhen Sect. The Seven Masters of Quanzhen do have a “Big Dipper Formation” that could contain this man; however, this formation only works with all seven disciples present. There was the possibility that they might run into this man without every one being present. This ‘Swordsmanship of Common Demise’ was meant to be used against this man, especially in single combat, in the hopes that the two combatants would both perish and thus preserve the sect.
* fighting and shaking star and river

== Pre-Heaven Skill ==
* “Miss had suffered a very serious internal injury. It was necessary for Shifu to use both ‘yi yang zhi’ [Solitary Yang Finger] and ‘xian tian gong’ [inborn/innate strength/energy] to open up the eight main arteries’ acupoints and cure the injury. Ever since the death of the Quanzhen Sect’s founder Chongyang Zhenren [lit. true/real man, a respectful term to address a Taoist priest], only my Shifu knows the ‘yi yang zhi’ and ‘xian tian gong’, these two marvelous skills. But by treating injury in this manner, his own body will suffer a serious injury; he will lose all his martial arts for the next five years.”

== Treading Frost Palm ==

* Rapid Flowing Retreat
* Sweeping Wind Descends Leaves: a sweep
* The Mandarin Duck’s Looping Kick: a high kick
* After a number of moves, Zhen Zhibing then thrust out his sword, threw out a palm and his left leg swept out, it was Quanzhen’s “Three Circulations”.
* Flying Past Heaven's Mountains: The very first stance of Quanzhen kung fu.

== Two Hands Technique ==
* Now he saw him using two hands to fight two people separately, it was as if he were divided into two.
* "Years ago I was trapped in a cave in Peach Blossom Island and had no one to accompany me. I was forced to fight with myself the whole time." Xiao Longnu asked dubiously: “Fight with oneself? Is there such a method?” Pleased, Zhou Botong immediately launched into a discussion of the Mutual Hands Combat method.
* Thereupon, he taught her how to attack with her left and defend with her right, strike with her right and block with her left.
* His left and right hands used different fist techniques, so that suddenly, Yang Guo was fighting against two Zhou Botongs.
* As soon as Guo Jing caught his breath he immediately taught him how to divide his hands in a mutual hands combat. This technique was actually more difficult than the Vacant Fist.
* But this mutual hands combat technique was precisely dividing one's mind into two, and the way to train it was by drawing a square with the left hand and a circle with the right hand. Guo Jing practiced doing the drawings. Initially his square resembled a circle, and his circle looked like a square. He painstakingly practiced for a long time before he finally got the hang of it; both hands could draw perfect square and circle at will.
* Zhou Botong had created the mutual hands combat technique out of his boredom living in the cave alone. It never occurred to him that he could actually use the technique in a real combat.

== Vacant Fist ==
* But Fan Yiweng felt as if his staff had struck water, soft as if nothing was there; he knew something was wrong and quickly pulled back.
* His left hand used the techniques of the “Vacant Light Fist”, throwing out soft fists. The wind created by the fists forced Fan Yiweng’s beard to the right and just at this time, Ma Guangzou had leaped up to make an attack, the beard brushed against his face.
* Zhou Botong then leapt up onto the beam and used the stance “Surging Sky Palm” to break a large hole in the ceiling.
* Yang Guo parried with a palm but felt there was something wrong with the power of the fist; it seemed as if it wasn’t there.
* ‘Concealed Deep as if Empty’
* ‘Skilled Hand in all Directions’
* One could not say it was comparable to the strength of dragons or elephants but it was impossible for mere flesh and bone to receive such a blow. But when he intercepted the fist of Zhou Botong, it felt empty and vacant like there was no strength in it at all.
* He used void to intercept solid and nothingness to block solidity. By doing so, he rendered the awesome power of Fawang useless; but it was also impossible for him to wound his adversary.
* Guo Jing followed his bidding to attack again; but suddenly he felt a pushing and pulling force. He was unable to stand steadily; he fell forward; his forehead hit the ground. He crawled trying to stand up; he was in a daze.
* "I developed this technique after toiling for more than ten years through training and meditation inside this hole," Zhou Botong said. "My martial brother had told me once about a technique of using emptiness to gain victory. That time my understanding of Taoist principles was still shallow. I heard him but I didn't understand. About five years ago I was moving my two hands when it suddenly dawned on me that I can develop palm technique using that principle."
* Zhou Botong said, "In the Lao Zi's [Taoist Founder] 'dao de jing' there is a saying: 'a clay utensil is useful because it is empty, a room is useful because it is empty.' Do you understand this saying?" Guo Jing's literary knowledge was limited; naturally he did not understand the saying. He smiled sheepishly and shook his head. Zhou Botong took the rice bowl they used earlier. "This bowl is empty inside, that's why we can fill it with rice. If it is a solid clay clump, how can we put food inside?" he asked.
* "In terms of energy exertion, your master Hong Qigong's martial art is on the external side of the spectrum. Even though I know Quan Zhen Sect's martial art, I am not his match. But I am afraid once you reach certain level of the external type of martial art you cannot go much higher. Not so with the internal type of martial art, the type that my martial brother practiced."
* Guo Jing explained from the first stance, 'kong wan cheng fan' [empty bowl filled with rice], to the second stance, 'kong wu zhu ren' [empty house occupied with people], with all variations therein, including how to send out the force, to Hong Qigong.
* The Vacant Fist technique was the softest fist technique in the world; it was created by Zhou Botong based on the Taoist principles found in the ‘Dao De Jing’ [moral/virtue scripture – Taoist’s holy scripture]. The ‘Dao De Jing’ said, ‘A strong army can be decimated; a strong tree can be broken. Strength will fail; suppleness will prevail.” Also, “The most flexible substance under the sky is water, but it is not easy to withstand its strong attack. Suppleness’ victory is powerful; softness’ victory is strong. No one in the world is unaware, no one can stand.’
