Chapter 5 The Heart of Martial Arts

"I have been cultivating for more than 40 years, and it took me 30 years to understand the way of sword practice. Phantom Cloud Zhenren sighed softly, admiring Chen Zong's talent more and more.

This is a genius, a true genius, not inferior to the top geniuses of the three great heavens of the True Martial Alliance in the slightest.

As long as he is given enough time to grow, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself.

"It's just that Donglu is still too small. Phantom Cloud Zhenren sighed again, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate thousands of mountains and rivers, and looked in the direction of the Hundred Beast Mountain Range: "Only by crossing the Hundred Beast Mountain Range can we enter the real world, where the martial arts are prosperous." ”

When Chen Zong heard this, his heart moved.

A few years ago, when I saw the codex left by the real person of the dragon descending in the stone room of the mountain wall, I said that I would pass through the Hundred Beast Mountain Range and reach the other end of the mountain, but at that time, my cultivation was not even the seventh layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and the distance was too far, so I forgot it for the time being.

Now hearing the real person of Phantom Cloud mention it again, Chen Zong had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Yearning!

It's like a seed that grows slowly in the heart, and in the end, it becomes stronger.

"Palace Master, beyond the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, is there really a bigger world?" Chen Zong asked.

"Actually, I'm not really sure because I haven't been there myself. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said, "Do you know the truth about the alternation of the Kingdom Era and the True Martial Era?"

"The fall of the kingdom era is dominated by the Black Demon Gate, the demon beast army is the vanguard, and the arrival of the True Martial Era is the effort of many of our ancestors in the Eastern Continent, but among them, it is inseparable from a strong man. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said to himself, his tone was quiet, as if he was reminiscing about the ancient powerhouse hundreds of years ago: "That strong man, the strength is monstrous, no one can be defeated, with the power of one person, kill thousands of demon beasts, and turn the tide." ”

In just a few words, it seems to outline the demeanor of a strong man hundreds of years ago, which makes Chen Zong fascinated.

Who is it?

There is such strength.

"Do you know that that strong man, with just a casual blow, can kill dozens of hundreds of eighth-level demon beasts. The tone of the real person of Phantom Cloud was not only shocking, but also countless yearnings.

Eighth-level demon beasts, which are equivalent to the seventh-fold to ninefold powerhouses of the True Martial Realm.

One blow can destroy dozens or hundreds of True Martial Realm Sevenfold and even Eightfold Ninefold, what kind of strength is this.

"Palace Master, isn't the True Martial Realm the end of cultivation?" Chen Zong suddenly thought of something, his face couldn't help but change greatly, his tone trembled, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that he had obtained a mysterious sword tip, thus changing his fate, although the mysterious sword tip did not know where it came from, and he didn't know what kind of treasure it was, it definitely surpassed the level of the True Martial Realm.

I should have thought of this a long time ago, but I didn't take it into account because of the limited environment and cultivation, and the invisible pressure I was always facing.

"Indeed, above the True Martial Realm, there is a higher realm. The tone of Phantom Cloud Zhenren was full of yearning: "It is said that it is a crossing of the boundary between heaven and man, and it can't be crossed, a hundred years of dry bones, and the sky is high and wide." ”

"But what kind of realm is that, I don't know, the senior powerhouse didn't reveal anything. ”

With the narration of Phantom Cloud Zhenren, Chen Zong's horizons were broadened again.

Above the True Martial Realm, there is a higher realm, which is a realm of transformation from mortals, a realm of transcendent sanctification, a realm that countless martial artists yearn for but are difficult to reach.

According to what Phantom Cloud Zhenren said, in fact, since the era of the kingdom, there have been continuous martial artists who have cultivated to reach the sevenfold, eightfold, and ninefold true martial arts realm, and they have to break through the Hundred Beast Mountain Range and enter the martial arts world on the other side of the mountain.

It's just that so far, it's not clear whether anyone has managed to break through.

Because no one ever came back.

And there have been many people who have failed to return to the Hundred Beasts Mountain, indicating that in the depths of the mountain, there are handwritings left by predecessors and so on.

The Hundred Beast Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, and it is said that there are demon beasts that surpass the True Martial Realm to inhabit, and breaking through the Hundred Beast Mountain Range is tantamount to asking for a dead end, even so, it can't stop the strong martial arts of the real martial arts.

For example, the dragon descends to the real person.

Otherwise, now, there will be more martial artists from the seventh-fold to the ninefold of the True Martial Realm.

The Phantom Cloud True Person himself had already decided that when he reached the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, he would go to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, even if he died in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range because of this, he would never regret it.

For a true martial artist, what could be more attractive than to impact a higher realm and explore the mysteries of martial arts.

"I'm telling you this to tell you that you shouldn't be complacent at any time, because the True Martial Realm is nothing at all in the eyes of those strong people. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said in a deep voice, he thinks that Chen Zong's talent is extraordinary, completely better than himself, and the future is infinitely possible, so he naturally doesn't want Chen Zong to ruin his future because of a trace of pride and complacency: "Another point, back then, that strong man shot to destroy a large number of eighth-level demon beasts, and even more in the air, killed many martial artists of the Black Demon Gate, including the deputy master elders, and left after the main master of the Black Demon Gate, and then left after the heavy damage to the master of the Black Demon Gate, because of this, the army of demon beasts was repulsed, the conspiracy of the Black Demon Gate was dismantled, and the era of true martial arts came." ”

When Chen Zong heard this, he was first surprised, and then suddenly, he didn't expect what he had learned to be so one-sided, and he didn't know more details until today.

"Not many people know about these things. Phantom Cloud Zhenren explained: "Before that senior left, he left behind a picture scroll. ”

"This picture scroll is called the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Map. The voice of the real person of Phantom Cloud seemed to murmur, as if in a dream, but his eyes were deep and boundless, as vast as the blue sky: "The naming of the Zhenwu Era is inseparable from the Zhenwu Enlightenment Dao Diagram, and even the naming of the Zhenwu Alliance. ”

Chen Zong couldn't help but yearn for it.

One person, a picture scroll, create an era, lead an era, what a style.

"It's just that the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Diagram has been controlled by the True Martial Alliance so far. ”

"Palace Master, what is the use of the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Diagram?" Chen Zong was very curious.

"It is rumored that the true martial arts enlightenment map can make people comprehend the realm of martial arts. Phantom Cloud Zhenren's words immediately surprised Chen Zong: "It's just that the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Diagram has a limit on the number of times it can be used, and if one person participates in enlightenment, it can only be used once, and it can only be used ninety-nine times, therefore, every opportunity is extremely precious, and for hundreds of years, only the internal geniuses of the True Martial Alliance can participate in it, such as the three heavenly pride." ”

Chen Zong was silent, ninety-nine times, compared to the martial artists in the entire Eastern Continent, there were very few, even if it was only within the True Martial Alliance, there were thousands of martial artists, a drop in the bucket, so it was natural to choose the best.

As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and this is exactly the truth.

"It is said that after hundreds of years, there are only ten opportunities left for the True Martial Martial Enlightenment Dao Diagram. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said: "This time, the Black Demon Gate has made a comeback, bringing a great threat, and the True Martial Alliance, under the requirements of the Four Great Palaces and many forces, has opened the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Map for outstanding juniors to participate in." ”

Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up, there was no doubt that this was a perfect opportunity.

"Now, you have stepped into the first level of martial arts, if you can comprehend the true martial arts enlightenment diagram, it is expected that in a short period of time, you will step into the second level of martial arts, and your strength will be stronger, and the future road will be better. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said with a smile: "But there are only ten opportunities for the True Martial Enlightenment Dao Diagram to participate, but there are only five places within the True Martial Alliance, that is to say, people outside the True Martial Alliance must compete for these five places." ”

"Palace Master, what are the requirements or restrictions for the competition for five places?" Chen Zong hurriedly asked.

"Of course there are limitations. ”

"Martial artists, the younger they are, the higher their cultivation, the stronger their strength, the greater their potential, and their future achievements will be greater. ”

"This time, the competition for five places will be set in three months, and the age must not exceed 24 years old, and there is no limit to cultivation. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said: "Your current cultivation is to practice the first stage of the fifth turn of the Jin Realm, three months, try your best to improve, it is better to reach the sixth turn of the Jin Realm, after all, within the age of twenty-four, there are also many people who cultivate to reach the seventh turn of the Jin Realm or even higher, and the competition for five places is not easy." ”

Chen Zong nodded, his heart awe-inspiring.

Twenty-four years old, this is not a big age, but it is not a small age, a person with mediocre qualifications, twenty-four years old, may still be the cultivation of the qi and blood realm, the qualifications are slightly better, and they can reach the cultivation realm, but at most it is the early stage, if it can reach the middle stage, it is considered a good qualification, if it can reach the later stage, it must be talented.

As far as Chen Zong knew, like the Seven Swordsmen of the True Sword Academy, several of them were not more than twenty-four years old, but their cultivation had all reached the late stage of the cultivation realm, and their strength was even more powerful.

This is true of the True Sword Academy, as well as the other three Great Palaces, and in addition, there are many disciples who have cultivated to the sixth turn of the Cultivation Realm within the age of twenty-four, and there are also many of them in the Four Great Palaces.

Among the other forces, it may not be as good as the Four Great Palaces, but there are still some of them.

Those people will all be Chen Zong's opponents.

Five places, very few.

At this moment, Chen Zong is full of motivation.

"In three months, I will at least raise my cultivation to the sixth turn of the cultivation realm. Chen Zong said secretly.

Now his cultivation is in the early stage of the fifth turn of the cultivation of the strength realm, but his strength is enough to defeat most of the sixth turns of the training strength realm, but he is not able to fight against the seventh turn of the training strength realm, but if his cultivation can be improved to the sixth turn of the training strength realm, he must not be inferior to most of the seventh turns of the training strength realm.

Even so, it is still difficult to win one of the five places.

In three months, Chen Zong could only do his best to improve his strength to the extreme that he could.

"In these three months, the Academy Palace will provide you with a lot of resources for cultivation, and I will also teach you everything, and what level you can reach in the end depends on your own ability. Phantom Cloud Zhenren said, placing great hopes on Chen Zong.

The opportunity to comprehend the true martial arts enlightenment diagram is too rare, and it is only once in hundreds of years, if you can participate in the enlightenment, you can step into the realm of martial arts, and if you have stepped into the realm of martial arts, you can go further, as if you have ascended to the sky in one step.

The True Sword Palace wants to focus on cultivating Chen Zong, and it also takes a fancy to Chen Zong's talent and potential, once Chen Zong grows up, first of all, the True Sword Academy Palace will be able to gain a great reputation, overpowering the other three Great Palaces, and even becoming the head of the Four Great Palaces, no matter how you look at it, this is a win-win ending.
