The Ancient Tomb martial arts were specifically made to counter Quanzhen, the dominant orthodox sect in the novel. Their technique was described as exquisite and their lightness skill unmatched. The Jade Heart Sutra detailed several styles, including 'snares above and nets below' (天羅地網式) as well as strong inner energy cultivation methods requiring two people. On a higher level though, the Ancient Tomb martial arts complemented Quanzhen martial arts as seen by Jade Maiden Swordplay (玉女素心劍法), where one person using Ancient Tomb Swordplay and the other person using Quanzhen Swordplay could greatly increase their fighting strength.
