Chapter 17: The Hometown (Fourth Update)
At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Gao Cheng looked up to the mountain, the place where the Chongyang Palace was originally located had become the Jade Maiden Hall of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and at the foot of the mountain, you could see many white-clothed women holding long swords patrolling the mountain.
"I heard that most of these female disciples of the ancient tomb used to be little girls who wandered in the city and the wilderness, and these girls were adopted by the ancient tomb since they were children, and they had food and clothing, and they could also practice martial arts. Everyone regards the sect as their own home, and their loyalty is extremely high! And they are very united, and if you mess with one, you will mess with a group!"
Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, and slowly walked towards Zhongnan Mountain, scanning his eyes along the way, this time it can be regarded as a revisit to the old place. The last time I came here, my strength was weak, and now my strength is second only to the powerhouse of the transcendent level. The environment is still the same, but the people have changed.
"Who?"
As soon as they got closer, several female disciples of the ancient tomb jumped out, each holding a long sword and pointing at Gao Cheng. With a vigilant look, his eyes looked at him, and when he saw the long sword hanging from Gao Cheng's waist, he was even more vigilant. These female disciples have a mediocre breath, and they probably have the strength of about the second layer of training. He is the most common mountain patrol disciple of the Tomb Sect.
Gao Cheng showed a smile on his face and said, "Gao Cheng, the head of the Xiahuashan faction, please report a few more!"
These female disciples were taken aback, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the way in front, and one of the female disciples showed their body skills, and the speed was extremely fast, and they ran towards the Jade Maiden Palace.
But in a moment, Yang Yunling's figure appeared in front of her, she heard that Gao Cheng went to the appointment and immediately came out to greet her, Gao Cheng looked forward and found that the head of the ancient tomb did not wear a veil in his own sect, revealing a cold and beautiful face.
"Miss Yang, I have already brought the cheats of those two exercises!"
Gao Cheng took out two books from his arms and handed them to the other party, and immediately made an oath to promise not to pass on these two exercises, and only after she swore did Yang Yunling nod. He looked a little more relaxed.
"Master Gao is really a believer, since this is the case, please come with me!" Yang Yunling knew the purpose of Gao Cheng's coming to the Tomb Sect, so he didn't detour around the corner, and led the way directly in front, and took Gao Cheng to the ancient tomb at the foot of the mountain.
The Broken Dragon Stone of the ancient tomb in front of it has been put down, and there are traces of sword slashing on it, and next to the Broken Dragon Stone, a new deep passage has been opened, this passage is extremely narrow, and there is no way to even turn around after a person enters.
Yang Yunling said: "Master Gao, the ancient tomb is the core of my sect, it is full of organs, and the ancestor is in retreat and cultivating, I hope you don't wander around after entering!"
Gao Cheng naturally agreed, and said, "Miss Yang, don't worry, I understand!"
The two of them passed through the deep passage one after the other, and entered the interior of the ancient tomb, where the stone chambers were connected, and they all looked the same, like a labyrinth. If you don't know the line, you'll definitely step on the trap.
At this time, the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect were basically all in Zhongnan Mountain, and as the ancient tomb where the original sect was located, there was no one left here. After all, no one wants to live in a dimly lit tomb.
Walking forward for a while, Gao Cheng suddenly felt a chill that penetrated his heart and lungs, and Yang Yunling in front of him opened a stone room, and there was an ice-blue jade bed in the stone room, which was the treasure that Wang Chongyang returned from the extreme north.
"Master Gao, this is the Hanyu bed, I have already arranged two disciples outside, if you have anything, you can order them! Also, don't move around!" Yang Yunling finally repeated a warning.
After Yang Yunling left, Gao Cheng sat on the cold jade bed, and when he sat down, a cold air that froze through his heart and lungs suddenly surged from below, and he hurriedly ran the Jiuyang Divine Skill, and the true qi of the Yang to the Rigid suddenly fought with the cold qi. The cold jade bed contains hundreds of millions of years of cold energy, from yin to cold, and the cold qi is endless, so that people have to continue to operate the internal strength of the mind.
"The cold aura of the cold jade bed, although it does not have the lethality of the Xuanming Divine Palm, but the victory continues, and people have to resist it. The main reason why Zhang Wuji cultivated the Jiuyang Divine Skill so quickly was that the cold qi of the Xuanming Divine Palm was constantly confronting the Jiuyang True Qi, allowing the Jiuyang True Qi to grow rapidly in the confrontation!"
As soon as a few thoughts flashed in Gao Cheng's heart, he had to concentrate on running the mental method, no wonder he would not go crazy when he sat on the cold jade bed to cultivate, such a cold place made people urge the mental method all the time, and there was no time to think nonsense. If there are no distracting thoughts in your heart, you will naturally not go crazy.
Slowly, Gao Cheng entered a spotless state of mind, sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, the Jiuyang True Qi in his body continued to grow, so that the cold qi could not invade the body, and he even forgot the time after some cultivation.
Three days later, his body roared, and a flame-like phantom suddenly rose around his body, and his true qi was like a surging river, doubling the meridians, and finally entering the eighth level of the Jiuyang Divine Skill.
......
In the blink of an eye, time passed, when Gao Cheng was in retreat and cultivation in the ancient tomb, the rivers and lakes outside had begun to become chaotic, the eldest grandson Tongguang did not lie, the master of the King Kong Temple and the god camel master of the Dragon Elephant Sect led people to attack Kongtong, bombarded and killed the head of Kongtong Guan Neng, and then killed Zong Weixia and Hu Leopard, and only Tang Wenliang and Chang Jingzhi were left with Tang Wenliang and Chang Jingzhi to escape outside.
There are only two masters and two or three big cats and kittens left in the Kongtong faction, which is no longer enough to be ranked among the seven righteous sects in the rivers and lakes, and many second-rate and third-rate sects have taken action to carve up the territory of the power that originally belonged to Kongtong after hearing about this incident. The rivers and lakes of the Liangzhou generation in Gansu Province have become chaotic. There are masters fighting at every moment. Everyone wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to carry forward their own sect.
At the same time, after the head of the Huashan faction succeeded to the throne, he also launched a big move, constantly recruiting disciples, and even teaching Huashan swordsmanship and some fist and foot kung fu. Many third-rate sects inherit martial arts that are not good, and they have crooked ideas, secretly sending people to join Huashan, secretly passing on these martial arts, and changing them into their own martial arts.
For these, the second elder of Huashan and other high-level officials had already expected that these martial arts were not high-grade martial arts, but they were in the same vein as the superior martial arts of the Huashan faction, and if they were cultivated on the basis of these martial arts, it would be difficult to further cultivate when their strength reached the limit of the exercises.
Unless you transfer to other exercises and continue to break through, your skills will be impure after you change your cultivation, and your future achievements will be limited. If you want to go further and become a master of the rivers and lakes, you can only worship Huashan and make great contributions and practice a higher level of Huashan exercises.
When Kongtong was destroyed and Huashan was unable to pay attention to other things in the rivers and lakes, another thing that shook the rivers and lakes happened, the first of the four great monks of Shaolin, the Kongjian monk, was beaten to death by Xie Xun, one of the four great kings of Mingjiao, with seven wounds.
The Shaolin faction immediately sent a large number of masters to hunt down Xie Xun. However, Xie Xun seemed to have disappeared and disappeared. There are also Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daiyan and Zhang Cuishan of the Wudang faction When they returned to Wudang, they suddenly encountered some people from the rivers and lakes fighting for the dragon slaying knife. Song Yuanqiao personally took action, and fought fiercely with the two elders of Xuan Ming who came out to compete for the dragon slaying knife, and both were defeated.
Yu Daiyan was afraid that Song Yuanqiao would be besieged by countless people in the rivers and lakes with the dragon slaying knife, so he took the lead with the knife alone. In the middle of the plot, he was defeated, and the dragon slaying knife was lost, and he was seriously injured, and his bones were crushed......
The rivers and lakes that were originally quite calm, suddenly appeared one by one, and the whole rivers and lakes became chaotic, Xie Xun slaughtered innocents one after another, offending Shaolin Emei and a large number of other second-rate and third-rate sects, these people couldn't find Xie Xun to take revenge, and they all targeted Mingjiao.
Besieged by so many martial arts people, the power of Mingjiao in Jiangnan, Huguang, and the Central Plains, Sichuan and Shu has suffered a major blow. The waves of uprisings and rebellions that were secretly supported by Mingjiao were wiped out one after another without the support of Mingjiao.
However, these things have nothing to do with Gao Cheng for the time being, Huashan is in a state of closed-door development, only consolidating its basic market in Guanzhong, and the wind and rain of the outside world cannot penetrate in. And after three months of retreat and cultivation, Gao Cheng finally cultivated the Jiuyang Divine Skill to the ninth level! The bridge between heaven and earth is about to be opened, and the complete consummation will be completed.
As long as the Jiuyang Divine Skill is consummated, the Jiuyang True Qi will transform into the Jiuyang Gang Qi, and the Qi in the Essence and Divine Qi will be the first to reach the conditions for cultivating the Innate Skill! It will also allow Gao Cheng to have the combat power of the Innate Transcendent Realm.
