After the inner strength realm was completed, Du Heng felt that he had reached a state of being leakless.

The qi, blood and viscera are extremely stable, completely making up for the previous shortcomings in physical strength.

Under the light of the mirror that illuminates me, he estimated his current strength.

[Realm: Inner Zhuang Realm]

[Strength: Entrance Realm]

[Limit: Beyond the Entrance Realm]

This strength is not as strong as before, but only attack power or speed.

Rather, it has reached this level in all aspects.

Although he is only in the Inner Zhuang Realm now, even if he withstands a punch from the Entrance Realm head-on, he will not suffer any damage.

Of course, if you want to be truly invulnerable in front of the entrance realm, you still have to cultivate specific horizontal martial arts.

"The reward for being fourteen years old is a cross-level martial arts "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Body". Du Heng secretly said in his heart, "Next, you can cultivate this martial art while absorbing the qi of the five elements to enhance the defense of your body." ”

Strong physical defense is also a necessary element to ensure one's own safety.

……

Early the next morning.

Du Heng had taken a morning class, and after breakfast, he planned to explore between the peaks of Jinxia Mountain to see where it was suitable to absorb the qi of the five elements.

After all, although the qi of these five elements is ubiquitous, it has different concentrations in different places, some places have a stronger fire qi, and some places have a stronger water qi.

Therefore, it is still necessary to choose carefully where to cultivate.

However, before he could leave, Wang Xuyang came over.

"Little junior brother, guess what this is?" He shook the silk book in his hand.

"I've seen the style of this silk book, is it the ranking of the new issue of the list?" Du Heng glanced at him and chuckled, "Today is the tenth day of the fourth month, calculate the time, the ranking of the latest issue of the three lists of heaven, earth and people should also be sent to Shanyin County." ”

"The little junior brother is still smart." Wang Xuyang smiled, unfolded the silk book in his hand and said, "Senior Brother Xubai and Senior Sister Xuyue went down the mountain to hit the ranking of the people list this time, but I didn't expect to have achievements in just three months, it is worthy of a combination of two swords, and they directly entered the top 30." ”

Du Heng looked at the contents of the silk book, and his eyes roughly swept over the top ten, the top twenty-

No. 1 on the list, Fa Shan, nicknamed "Compassion Sword", born in the Qibao Monastery, twenty-one years old, and the entrance realm is complete......

The fifth on the list, Du Kai, nicknamed the "Young Green Emperor", was born in the Du clan of Longxi, twenty years old, and the entrance realm was complete......

The tenth on the list, Yu Hai, nicknamed the 'Northland White Wolf', was born in the Baishan faction, twenty-three years old, and the entrance realm was perfect......

……

……

In the end, his gaze stopped at the top 30 parts of the list, and found the names of Zhang Xubai and Yang Xuyue.

The twenty-third place on the list, Zhang Xubai, nicknamed "Quick Sword Without Shadow", was born in a pure yang view, twenty-six years old, and the entrance realm was not perfect......

The twenty-sixth place on the list, Yang Xuyue, nicknamed "White Feather Feihong", was born in Pure Yangguan, twenty-four years old, and the entrance realm was not perfect......

With such a realm and age, the two of them can certainly be called geniuses in the Pure Yang Concept, and even in the sect at the level of the Pure Yang Concept, they can be regarded as the best.

But if you look at the entire Da Zhao, compared with all the young geniuses today, it is actually not the top.

It's rare to be in the top 30 now.

If it goes well, they should be able to stay in the top thirty until they reach the age of thirty, and they can compete for three disciple places for the Pure Yang Guan.

"There are too few of us pure yang people." Du Heng couldn't help but sigh and said, "As soon as there are fewer people, the number of people who can enter the list will be small, and the chance of squeezing into the top ten is also low, according to this Da Zhao's law, it will be difficult to recruit disciples." ”

The ranking of the people list began during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty experienced the painstaking management of three generations of virtuous monarchs, and the country was already rich and the people were strong, and the major sects that had been greatly injured in the chaotic times at the end of Yu gradually recovered, and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes began to become prosperous.

In order to further strengthen the country with martial arts, and also to extend grace to the warriors of the world, Emperor Wu issued an edict to set up three lists of heaven, earth and people, ranking the strength and weakness of the warriors in the world, and giving different degrees of privileges and preferential treatment according to the ranking.

Among them, the Heavenly List only lists the ten strongest Divine Gate-level powerhouses in the world, and the Earth List ranks the fifty strongest people in the Zhengang Realm.

The list includes young people under the age of 30, walking on the rivers and lakes, and having a well-known record, ranking 120 in total.

As long as you enter these three lists, you can enjoy the treatment including but not limited to knighthood, gift, field, clothing, etc., and the privileges include tax exemption, exemption from arrest, official worship, and you can enter the Royal Academy to read the "Martial Palace" and other aspects.

Of course, depending on the type of entry and ranking, these privileges and benefits are also different in detail.

Since then, although the successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have made certain adjustments to the rules and treatment of the three lists of heaven, earth and man, they are generally based on the framework set by Emperor Wu.

But after Chen Ju established the Great Zhao on behalf of Emperor Zhou, due to the promotion of the wealthy families, the imperial court carried out a series of reforms to the martial arts sect and the three lists of heaven, earth and people.

One of the most critical points is to correlate the number of disciples that the sect can recruit each year with the number of people on the list and the maintenance time.

And set up a series of quota acquisition mechanisms.

For example-

If for three consecutive years, every year a disciple enters the top 50 on the list, you can get a place to recruit disciples.

If a disciple can maintain the top 30 ranking for more than three years, he or she will get a place to recruit disciples.

If a disciple enters the top 20 on the list, he can directly get a place to recruit disciples.

If a disciple reaches the top of the list, he can get ten places to recruit disciples.

……

……

There are many rules like this, and it seems that there are many ways to obtain the quota for recruiting disciples, but in fact, the conditions are very harsh, and the number is very small.

The beautiful name is to allow the martial arts sect to concentrate on teaching a small number of disciples, realize the elitism of the sect's martial artists, not waste unnecessary resources, and avoid the emergence of a large number of martial arts practitioners who have no future in martial arts.

But the actual result was that a large number of martial arts sects lacked a source of fresh blood and declined sharply.

Because, just counting on a few disciples, it is impossible to support the inheritance of the entire sect.

After all, no sect can be 100% sure of whether a person has a future in martial arts when recruiting disciples, and they must first evaluate and screen through the cultivation of ordinary martial arts, and then find out the truly suitable core disciples.

This is also the reason why most sects have had three levels of disciples: outer gate, inner gate, and true inheritance.

Now that there is no such progressive process, it is tantamount to asking the martial arts sect to decide which disciples it wants to recruit without any screening and judgment.

Also limits.

This is actually grinding these martial arts sects to death little by little with a soft knife, and also mastering the balance of strength.

In the more than ten years of Da Zhao Liguo.

The top-notch Great Sect Holy Land was minimally affected, but some of those small sects and medium-sized sects had already declined, even to the verge of severing their inheritance.

As a result, it is difficult for the sects to unite against this policy, and they can only be slowly and slowly stabbed.

Now the Pure Yang View can still maintain a certain scale of inheritance, firstly, because Xie Cang, who has half a foot in the Divine Gate level, is third on the list, and secondly, because Lin Qinghe's generation is in the prime of life.

If one day, Xie Cangshou is exhausted, Lin Qinghe's generation enters the twilight of life, and the new generation fails to grow up, then the inheritance and continuation of the Pure Yang Concept will also become precarious.

This is also one of the reasons why the entire Pure Yang Concept has high hopes for Du Heng.

After all, with Du Heng's qualifications, there is a high probability that he will rank at the top of the list, and the duration will not be short.

This can bring a lot of disciples to the Pure Yang Concept, and it may even bring the declining Pure Yang Meditation back to life and prosper again.

"Little junior brother, in another month, I will also go down the mountain." At this time, Wang Xuyang suddenly said, "I have completed the divine power realm, and I want to go down the mountain to accumulate experience in order to break through to the subtle realm." ”

"So, in the future, I will be the only one left on this mountain?" Du Heng said with some emotion.

"Hmm." Wang Xuyang nodded and said with a smile, "Little junior brother, in fact, I want to see what kind of wind and clouds you can stir up on the rivers and lakes after you go down the mountain." Have you noticed, Cheng Yujun, who was defeated by you a year ago, has now been on the list. ”

As he spoke, he flipped the scroll to the back of the book, pointed to a position and said, "Here, she is not yet sixteen years old, she has already reached the perfection of the subtle realm, and she has also mastered a trick of the Divine Consciousness in the Sword Casting Pavilion.

"Just last month, she defeated the master who was once ranked one hundred and thirteen on the human list, and became the youngest genius on the human list in the past hundred years, and there have already been good deeds who have given her various fairy nicknames."

"So powerful?" Du Heng smiled when he heard this, and at the same time looked at the position that Wang Xuyang was pointing to.

The one hundred and thirteenth on the list, Cheng Yujun, nickname is not available, born in the Sword Casting Pavilion, fifteen years old, and has entered the micro realm perfectly......

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning." Wang Xuyang nodded and said, "Her qualifications and strength are too powerful, and there are already rumors in the rivers and lakes that if Cheng Yujun doesn't die young, maybe she will be another 'Heavenly Sword'." ”

Tianjian was a martial arts master during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was also a woman.

She has a mysterious origin, proficient in swordsmanship, and at the age of only nineteen, she broke through to the consummation of the entrance realm, and ranked first on the list of people

In the end, after this "Heavenly Sword" cut a peerless sword mark in the land of Qingzhou, he disappeared.

Today, many of her deeds have become legends.

"There are talented people in the rivers and lakes, and it is normal to have a new 'Heavenly Sword'." Du Heng nodded and said to Wang Xuyang, "I'm very optimistic about you, senior brother, and you will definitely be able to occupy a place on the list in the future." ”

"Me?" Wang Xuyang waved his hand and said with a smile when he heard this, "You expect me to be on the list, it's better to think about what nickname I will use after I get on the list." I've heard that a lot of people are very unhappy with their nicknames, such as what kind of reckless King Kong or something, but it's ugly. ”

"Ha, do you look at me like this, like someone will call me a reckless King Kong?" Du Heng pulled his clothes, moved his hands and feet, and refuted Wang Xuyang.

Now fourteen years old, his body has gradually grown, and he can even be called slender and straight.

Although he is already immortal at the age of twelve, this effect will keep his physical condition at the peak of his age, and will not be directly locked in at the age of twelve.

Therefore, he is still growing up normally.

"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait to see your nickname on the list of people in the future." Wang Xuyang laughed loudly, and then put away the silk book, "I'll leave first, I'm going to discuss the matter of going down the mountain with Shizun." ”

"Hmm." Du Heng nodded.

Then, Wang Xuyang turned around and left, but when he was about to walk out of this courtyard, he turned around and said, "Little junior brother, I and my senior brother and sister, waiting for you in the rivers and lakes under the mountain!" ”

……

In May of the fourth year of Chonghe, Wang Xuyang left Jinxia Mountain and traveled to the rivers and lakes, sharpening his martial arts in order to achieve subtlety.

The Pure Yang Concept, which originally had not many people, became even more deserted, and the disciples of the Void Character Generation were left with Du Heng alone on the mountain.

In the past year, Han Qingshui, Zhou Qingxiao, and Lin Qinghe have frequently gone out, Ye Qingping and Wei Qingshan have been away all year round, and the old master Xie Cang has also often retreated and cultivated.

This is equivalent to saying that on the huge Jinxia Mountain, Du Heng is the only one left who can move freely on weekdays.

But he's happy to do so.

There are fewer people on Jinxia Mountain, so it is more convenient for him to explore everywhere, looking for a place where the qi of the five elements is strong, as a "dojo" to absorb the qi of the five elements and build a foundation for condensing the Dao species.

The process is not simple.

Even for Du Heng, who had a Dao Bone Immortal Fetus and could directly swallow the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it was a very troublesome thing to identify the different concentrations of the Five Elements Qi in various places.

It must be in a place to swallow the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for a period of time before it can be truly determined.

It took two months for Du Heng to visit almost every corner of Jinxia Mountain, and only then did he determine the five most suitable places for his cultivation.

The next thing he has to do is to concentrate on absorbing the qi of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in these five places!

Compared with simply indiscriminately swallowing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it is undoubtedly more difficult to absorb the pure Five Elements Qi.

In the next nearly a year, Du Heng was constantly absorbing, refining, and refining different types of Five Elements power.

Finally—

The third day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Chonghe.

In the courtyard of Shenhe Peak, Du Heng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly levitated from the futon, directly three feet off the ground, and flew in the air.

At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, his hand pinched the Tai Chi seal, and between his exhalation and inhalation, there were white, blue, black, red, and yellow air currents swallowing out of his mouth.

These five-colored air currents contain the power of the five elements, giving people the feeling of encompassing the principles of all things in the world.

And Du Heng sat upright in it, swallowing the five-colored qi and incorporating it into his chest, as if he had mastered the principle of all things, which made people feel awe.

Gradually, the five elements qi on his body became more and more intense, the five-colored light became brighter and brighter, and the five organs in his body also emitted five-colored light, and the mud pill palace in the center of his eyebrows suddenly sensed.

Du Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes showed five colors, and the brilliance of the five qi was associated with the divine soul.

At the same time, he raised his right hand and shook it lightly, and in an instant, he gathered a large amount of Five Elements Qi.

Then I heard the rumbling in his palm.

Like thunder!
