The sky is not yet bright, only to see a teenager at the bottom of Bifeng Mountain, one of the five main peaks of Qingyang Mountain, along the stone stairs to jump is two zhang away, the figure of the young man is like the wind away, one side of the mountain road is a cliff, the road is winding, sometimes flat and sometimes steep, but the running teenager no matter what kind of terrain he encounters, the speed has not slowed down in the slightest, all the way only the sound of the wind whistling in the ears, the young figure will disappear in the clouds and mist around the mountainside after a while.

Almost half an hour later, the boy leaped ten feet to break through the clouds, like an eagle soaring in the air, and gently landed on the top of the mountain.

Su Yuanmo calculated the time, and it was less than half an hour, which was less than some time ago.

In fact, twenty days ago, Su Yuan had already met Tang Chuan's requirement to reach the peak from the foot of the mountain in half an hour. However, three months have passed, even after practicing day after day, Su Yuan still has not mastered the power application method demonstrated by the master that day, although in the past month or so, he has felt that power in the dark many times, but every time it is a flash, he has never been able to catch that momentary feeling.

At this time, the sky was still gray, although it was already summer, but Bi Feng was already towering into the clouds, and the cold mountain wind on the top of the mountain blew with moist clouds and mist, and also blew Su Yuan's immature cheeks, and he suddenly felt a little cool.

This time Su Yuan did not sit down cross-legged as before, closed his eyes so that he could feel everything around him without distractions, and sometimes he might be able to capture that fleeting wonderful feeling, but that feeling is unavoidable, and it is counterproductive to do it deliberately, it is better to put aside distracting thoughts and let the body and mind that has been slightly tired from practicing for days practice for a while, now the young man just wants to see the scenery on Bifeng Mountain, he has been on the mountain for more than three months, and he has never really appreciated the scenery in front of him.

Although the sun has not yet risen, the sky in the distance has begun to gradually brighten, Su Yuan chose the most comfortable position, lying on a smooth stone on all fours, without deliberate meditation, the whole person is much more relaxed, quietly looking up at the gray sky above his head, only to feel that his heart is clear and clear.

The sky gradually brightened, the junction of heaven and earth was slightly glowing with red light, at this time it was the time when night and dawn were exchanged, Su Yuan had no distracting thoughts, and looked at the changes in front of him with the clearest and clearest heart, like a child looking at the world around him with the purest eyes, like a clear and transparent mountain spring, without any foreign objects, the sea of clouds in the mountains was like smoke, and the clouds and mist in the sky were fickle.

Gradually, Su Yuan became obsessed, and his whole body and mind were integrated into this dreamlike environment, and in his consciousness, he felt that there seemed to be a force between heaven and earth that was prompting everything in front of him to change, not only the changes in the clouds and fog in front of him, but also the flowers and trees in the distance, the streams and rivers under the mountains, and the beasts in the mountains all changed with the change of this force, as if the world that was still sleeping just now was "awakened" by this force.

The rising sun is red and dazzling, the soft sunlight shines from the sky, the clouds and mist in the mountains begin to dissipate, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, the beasts are all famous, and the streams are murmuring.

After the heaven and earth "woke up", the power suddenly subsided, but Su Yuan felt that this power that filled the heaven and earth did not disappear, it still existed in the heaven and earth, but it was only temporarily "dormant", just like the calm sea, when the time came, it would turn up monstrous waves.

Feeling the changes of heaven and earth, Su Yuan's consciousness seemed to be integrated into this force, and there was a "qi" around him that merged into his body, and the "qi" accumulated more and more, wandering around in his body, but there was no way to vent, and his body was extremely uncomfortable.

From the first birth of the sun to the scorching sun, Su Yuan was still lying on the rocks on the top of the mountain as at the beginning, motionless, but his heart was turbulent, and the consciousness in his body was immersed in that power, and unconsciously, the depression accumulated in his heart became more and more.

The sun has been tilted to the west, when the sun begins to sink at the intersection of heaven and earth, the force suddenly rises again, suddenly, the wind surges, Su Yuan "sees" a gust of wind blowing wantonly between heaven and earth, the clouds rise and fall, the sea of clouds in the mountains is getting thicker and thicker, tumbling endlessly, the chirping of birds and beasts gradually disappears in a low voice, the sound of mountains and rivers seems to be much weaker, when the sun completely disappears on the horizon, the force also disappears, the wind between heaven and earth slowly subsided, and everything becomes calm again.

Su Yuan, who felt the two changes of heaven and earth, only felt extremely depressed, the "qi" in his body had filled his body, and the surrounding "qi" was still entering his body in a steady stream, until he felt that his body could no longer hold more "qi", and when the "qi" was about to burst out of his body, Su Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable, and the suppressed breath in his body made Su Yuan open his mouth and roar to release, but he couldn't make any sound, only bursts of painful screams echoed in his consciousness.

At this time, Su Yuan's face was red due to excessive exertion, his body was spasming and trembling, cold sweat was already soaked all over his body, and his consciousness was slowly occupied by darkness.

When his consciousness was about to fall into darkness, Su Yuan suddenly got up, jumped to the edge of the cliff, clenched his fist with one hand, and suddenly a violent whirlwind blew around, flying sand and stones, and the entire space airflow converged with the fist as the center, Su Yuan endured a feeling of dizziness, controlled the consciousness that was about to be occupied by darkness, and used the strength of his whole body to punch the sea of clouds tumbling in the distance, a surging force burst out, and the "qi" in the body also poured out with the momentum of a punch, and a large sea of clouds sank down, surging wildly, and there was a dull rumbling sound.

Su Yuan was weak for a while, gasping for breath, his consciousness gradually returned to clarity, he was still afraid for a while, he was slightly stunned when he saw the sight in front of him, and then he was happy. After a short rest and a partial recovery of physical and mental strength, he took a deep breath, ran the qi machine again and threw a punch, and the sea of clouds that had not subsided was rolling again, but it was much weaker than the first time in terms of power and momentum, Su Yuan thought about it for a while, and probably understood that the first punch was because the body had inexplicably accumulated a large amount of "qi", to the extent that it had to be released, and the second time was like temporarily borrowing the surrounding "qi" , just as a flood is enclosed by a levee, and when the flood breaks through the levee, it must be much more powerful than the flood that actively opens the levee.

But no matter what, after a trip to the ghost gate, I can finally use this power, as long as I master the method, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Su Yuan had no intention of stopping after learning to use this power, or continued to hit the sea of clouds below with his fists or palms, until he lay on the ground exhausted, panting heavily, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Su Yuan got up, the sky was already full of stars, and suddenly he felt that there was something abnormal behind him, and turned around to see a bonfire, and a figure in black was sitting on the ground next to him, roasting a game on the bonfire.

A burst of fragrance wafted in, Su Yuan suddenly felt a burst of hunger, the man in black tore off a piece of roasted leg meat and threw it over, Su Yuan ate it after seeing the appearance of the black shadow, and after eating it in three or two, he saw the man in black beckoning Su Yuan to go over and sit aside.

The man in black was the third elder Tang Chuan, who was also Su Yuan's master, Tang Chuan handed Su Yuan a bottle of wine, and he picked up another bottle of wine and took a big sip, after drinking, he laughed a few times, although the young man did not understand the master's actions, but he also took a sip of wine, and the spicy wine entered his throat, and also dissipated some fatigue.

The bonfire danced in the wind, and the flickering light of the fire reflected on the two faces, one large and one small.

With most of the bottle of wine in his stomach, Su Yuan's head was a little dazed, but Tang Chuan didn't plan to let him go, and said, "Come, take another sip." ”

Su Yuan drank it all.

After the two of them ate and drank enough, Su Yuan quietly looked at Tang Chuan again, Tang Chuan did not have the oppressive momentum of the first meeting, and he was dressed in ordinary clothes, plus he drank and ate meat regardless of his image just now, not like a powerful elder of the top five martial arts schools in the empire, more like an ordinary middle-aged elder, Su Yuan did not have the restraint when they met for the first time, and was about to ask Shizun about his intentions and what he understood today.

Perhaps sensing the young man's thoughts, Tang Chuan took the lead in speaking: "I have seen what you have gained today." Seeing that the young man was a little complacent, he immediately poured a plate of cold water on: "But don't be happy too early, it's just a beginner, and it's still far from the realm of turning around." ”

However, Tang Chuan did not say that the use of power he showed for the first time was far beyond Tang Chuan's expectations.

"Do you know what kind of power you comprehend?" Tang Chuan glanced at Su Yuan deeply, and the young man opposite him looked dazed, "A long time ago, the ancestors divided martial arts into two categories, one was [Shu] and the other was [Qi]. ”

"The so-called [Shu] can be understood as combat skills, that is, various moves, body techniques, etc., including some manipulation techniques, which also belong to the category of [Shu], while [Qi] is to get rid of the shackles of the body and turn the surrounding power into one's own use through various means. Qi can also evolve into Potential. ”

"[Potential]?" Su Yuan asked puzzledly, [Qi], Su Yuan has also been in contact with these two in Qingyang Academy, but he has stayed in his perception before, and it is far from reaching the level of turning it into his own use, and he can only use this power until today. And there is no concept of [potential].

"[Potential] is still too far for you now, this is an ethereal thing that can be understood and cannot be spoken, and in the future, maybe you can comprehend this realm, and you will naturally understand. ”

"In addition to the distinction between [Shu] and [Qi], later the martial arts were divided into different realms, from low to high, they were the Qing Realm, the Feather Realm, and the Xuan Realm Holy Realm, but because the combat power of each realm is still very large, the first three realms are divided into early, middle, and late stages. ”

Su Yuan, who listened attentively, had a general understanding of the division of the realm before, and knew very little about the last realm, and asked, "The first three realms mentioned by the master are divided into three small levels, and the last realm of the holy realm has no distinction between before and after, does it mean that there is no distinction between strength and weakness after the holy realm?"

"No, after entering the Holy Realm, the difference in personal combat power is the largest, there has always been no shortage of geniuses who have just entered the Holy Realm and defeated their predecessors who have been famous in the Holy Realm for a hundred years, as for how to divide the realm after the Holy Realm, there has never been a recognized statement. However, someone made a combat power ranking for the powerhouses above the Holy Realm, but it is said that the people who made the ranking did not personally witness the combat power of the people on the list, and most of them guessed through hearsay. Not to mention that the strong people who have entered the Holy Realm are already rare, and the situation where the two fights is known is even rarer, plus some of the Saint Realm powerhouses who are uncertain and have been concentrating on martial arts for many years, the evaluation of their personal combat power is still stuck in the impression left a long time ago, so many people pointed out that the ranking of the force is only based on assumptions, and the water is too large, but in this list of thirty-six people, relatively speaking, the combat power of the top ten people on the list is not many people have objections. ”

Tang Chuan paused, added some firewood to the fire, was distracted for a moment, and continued: "There was once a person who said that the Holy Realm is not the end of the martial arts in this world, and there is another layer of realm above the Holy Realm. Although no one in the empire has ever reached the realm above the Holy Realm in the past seven thousand years, everyone is convinced of this, because the person who said this is the Emperor Shenwu, the first emperor who founded the country, and later some people deduced that the realm of the Emperor Shenwu at his peak has surpassed the Holy Realm!"

Su Yuan listened attentively, and the firelight reflected the little face red.
