This question involves the ranking of various characters in Jin Yong's martial arts world. It is more complicated. For details, you can refer to the following answers: In the martial arts world of Jin Yong, the sweeping monk, Feng Qingyang, Patriarch Bodhidharma, and others were all very famous experts, but their rankings were not necessarily fixed. These characters might be ranked differently in different novels. In << The Eight Demigods >>, the sweeping monk was considered the best martial artist in the world, while Feng Qingyang was the second best. Patriarch Bodhidharma was considered the master of martial arts. However, these rankings were based on the plot of the novel and the author's settings, not the objective rankings in the real world. In reality, these characters 'martial arts might not be as powerful as described in the novel.
The three peerless experts in Jin Yong's novels were Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Linghu Chong.
In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the three most powerful masters were Bodhidharma, Dugu Qiubai, and the sweeping monk. This statement was not completely correct because everyone's evaluation and understanding might be different. There were three different views: Bodhidharma: As a Zen master, Bodhidharma was considered one of the greatest figures in Buddhism. He also had extremely high attainments in martial arts, creating Zen martial arts that was considered the ceiling of martial arts. 2. Dugu Qiubai: As a legendary figure in Jianghu, Dugu Qiubai has extraordinary talent and attainments in swordsmanship. He has fused the essence of various martial arts to create a unique sword technique and is known as the "Sword Demon". 3. Sweeping Monk: As a small figure in Jianghu, although the sweeping monk did not have particularly high martial arts cultivation, his Buddhist cultivation and mysterious temperament could not be ignored. He was able to resolve all kinds of crises and had a mysterious background. Therefore, he was regarded as one of the most powerful existences in Jianghu. Bodhidharma, Dugu Qiubai, and the sweeping monk were all highly respected and worshipped characters in Jin Yong's novels. Their martial arts cultivation and realm were very high, so everyone's views might be different.

The ranking of the experts under Jin Yong's pen was as follows (in no particular order): Duan Yu: The third son of Emperor Duan Zhengchun of Dali is highly skilled in martial arts and is proficient in the martial arts of the Duan family of Dali. 2. Qiao Feng: The leader of the Beggar's Sect is known as "Leader Qiao" in Jianghu. His martial arts are unrivaled, and he is loyal to his loved ones. He will sacrifice everything to protect them. 3.

Patriarch Bodhidharma wasn't Jin Yong's number one master. He was ranked fifth in the "Demigods and Semi-Devils".
The ranking of martial arts in Jin Yong's novels was constantly changing. As a fictional character in the novel, the sweeping monk's martial arts were mentioned many times. However, there was no definite answer as to why the sweeping monk was the number one martial artist in Jin Yong's novels. However, there were a few possible reasons: The sweeping monk's martial arts were superb, but he did not pursue the best martial arts in the world. Instead, he focused on Buddhism and saving all living beings. Although his martial arts were powerful, his philosophy and wisdom were unparalleled, which made him a very charming and meaningful character in the novel. The appearance time and position of the sweeping monk in the novel were very important. He first appeared in Jin Yong's << The Eight Dragons >>. He was an extremely mysterious figure in the martial arts world and was known as the " Sweeping Monk ". He was one of the most profound martial arts masters in the martial arts world. In the novel, the appearance of the sweeping monk brought about a huge change in the entire martial arts world. Through his wisdom and martial arts cultivation, he helped many protagonists overcome various difficulties and became an indispensable figure in the martial arts world. 3. Although the sweeping monk's martial arts were powerful, he did not master a single martial art but the essence of many martial arts. His martial arts covered martial arts, Buddhism, philosophy and many other fields, which made him a very comprehensive character in the novel. Combining the above reasons, the reason why the sweeping monk was regarded as the number one martial artist in Jin Yong's novels was probably because of his unique charm, important status, and strong martial arts cultivation.

This question involves some characters and legends in Jin Yong's novels. I'm not sure if I can regard them as invincible existences. The sweeping monk was a mysterious character in Jin Yong's novel. He was very powerful but was not described as an invincible existence. Dugu Qiubai was a legendary character in Jin Yong's novels. He had extremely powerful martial arts, but it did not seem to be described as an invincible existence. Patriarch Bodhidharma was a legendary figure in Jin Yong's novels. He was the pioneer of Chinese Zen and had extremely high martial arts cultivation, but he was not described as an invincible existence. As for the eunuchs of the previous dynasty, they were not regarded as powerful figures in Chinese history because they were usually confined to the palace and had no freedom to participate in political struggles. Therefore, it was inappropriate to compare eunuchs with these mysterious figures. To sum up, the sweeping monk, Dugu Qiubai, and Patriarch Bodhidharma might be very powerful together, but whether they could be invincible depended on how they defined " invincible."

Was the Shaolin Kung Fu in Jin Yong's works really created by Patriarch Bodhidharma? The answer to this question was not simple because the history and martial arts heritage of Shaolin Temple were not completely clear. In Jin Yong's novels, Shaolin Temple was described as a sect with a long history and orderly inheritance. Its founder was Bodhidharma. However, the true history of Patriarch Bodhidharma and the historical heritage of Shaolin Temple were not completely clear. According to historical records, Patriarch Bodhidharma was a Zen master in China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. His real name and birthplace were unknown. It was said that he came to the Liang Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in 597 A.D. under the pretext of spreading the teachings of Zen to seek an opportunity to establish a Buddhist base. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he traveled to many places and finally came to Shaolin Temple, where he founded a Zen sect, creating the first of its kind. However, because the true history and deeds of Patriarch Bodhidharma were not completely clear, it was impossible to determine whether he had established a specific martial arts legacy in Shaolin Temple. In Jin Yong's novel, the martial arts of Shaolin Temple were passed down through many masters in history. The names and deeds of these masters were described as real people in the novel.
