Chapter 356: A Bloody Past (1)
"More than five hundred years ago, the Black and White Dynasty I ruled was still the most powerful empire on the mainland." Yan Dunhuang gently stroked the beard under his chin and said slowly, "At that time, my cultivation was only more than two hundred years, but I had already comprehended the Yin and Yang Heavenly Dao, and based on them, I stepped into the Divine Yuan Realm. I am complacent, believing that I am the first in the continent in terms of power and force, and I can also compete for hegemony in the whole world.
"In my opinion, cultivating to this point in my cultivation is basically the pinnacle of human cultivation, and there is no way to advance. It wasn't until one day that a person came from the ancient land of Annam in the extreme south that my perception was completely subverted.
"This is a man who is even younger than me, dressed in an open robe and carrying a long sword, entering the city through the Nanhua Gate, and walking along the Zhengnan Avenue to the Imperial Palace. From the moment he entered Black Rock City, he used his Ten Thousand Sword Realm, and the powerful sword aura shocked everyone on Zhengnan Avenue into fear, and no one dared to approach him within twenty zhang.
"What is even more shocking than his sword aura is his peerless demeanor. He walked towards the palace step by step under the watchful eye of everyone, and when he reached the halfway point of Zhengnan Avenue, I felt the sword energy he prompted, so I walked out of the south gate of the palace with the Chinese military minister and stood on the parade square waiting for him.
"He came to me with a well-spoken and polite manner. Although his whole body was full of sword energy, he did not have a murderous aura.
"He claimed to be the son of the leader of the ancient land of Annam, named Yue Zheng, and he challenged me to test his swordsmanship, saying that no matter whether he won or lost, he would give me a copy of his swordsmanship secrets.
"Naturally, I couldn't avoid the fight, so we made a move on the spot. I only made seven moves under his hand before he stabbed me in the ribs with a sword, but he only pierced my clothes and did not hurt me.
"I took out my best swordsmanship and attacked with all my might, and fought with him in a hundred moves. As a result, I was stabbed eleven by him, and I didn't cut off a single hair or touch half of his shirt.
"Even though I was stabbed by him with eleven swords, he didn't pierce even a single bit of my skin. Moreover, there were only a few people other than myself who saw that I had lost, but they only thought that I had lost a move and a half, and they did not know that I had lost so completely.
"This fight was a shock to my heart that I had never experienced before, and I never even dreamed of. There was not the slightest bit of frustration or jealousy in my heart except for respect and worship.
"I was conquered by Yue Zheng's anti-heaven swordsmanship and peerless demeanor, and I was even more excited that he gave me that anti-heaven swordsmanship. I hit him off at first sight and immediately became a confidant.
"After receiving the sword book he gave me, I began to work my cultivation, but I soon discovered a problem, a big problem that I couldn't figure out. That is, no matter how much I cultivated, my swordsmanship could not reach the power he had exerted that day, and I could not control my speed, strength, or move accuracy.
"Yue Zheng is like me, and he has the same Yin and Yang True Qi, and he has also understood the Yin and Yang Heavenly Dao and used it as a base to portray the Dao Dan and step into the Divine Yuan Realm. Moreover, both of us have learned the way of the sword.
"In short, I am very similar to him in every aspect, and my True Qi cultivation is even higher than his, because his cultivation time is even shorter than mine. In such a situation, we practice the same sword technique, and I should be stronger than him.
"I'm afraid that I don't have enough understanding, or I don't work hard. So I began to cultivate like a demon. Three years later, I thought that I had completely mastered that sword book, and that sword technique called the 'Yin Yang Heaven-Shaking Sword' had been cultivated to the extreme by me, but I still couldn't reach the power he exerted that day, not even thirty percent. ”
"Bluestone Friend!" Yan Dunhuang said this, and smiled slightly at Qingshi, "Do you know why?" ”
"This ......," Qingshi said thoughtfully, "If two people with almost the same cultivation, talent, and comprehension practice the same sword technique, and both of them have cultivated to the extreme, then although the power they exert is high or low, there will never be much difference." Unless the True Qi attribute they use to induce sword moves is different. However, both of you are full of yin and yang true qi, and judging from the name, this sword technique should also be triggered by yin and yang true qi, right? I just can't figure out why. ”
"Actually," Yan Dunhuang said with a smile, "You've already thought of it, you just need to be bolder." ”
"Uh~" Qingshi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Could it be ...... Could it be that Yue Zheng used ...... to urge this sword technique Yuan Li? ”
"That's right!" Yan Dunhuang said, "That day, under my questioning, Yue Zheng finally told me the truth. The true power he used to trigger the 'Yin Yang Shaking Sky Sword' was indeed Yuan Force.
"At first, I didn't believe his words, because Yuan Li was just the legendary spiritual power element of the Immortal Era ten thousand years ago, and I also knew the legend of Ge Xiaotian turning one yuan into nine qi, and there was no Yuan Li in this world for a long time.
"In order to make me believe, Yue Zheng injected a wisp of Yuan Force into my body, making me truly feel the incomparable majestic power of Yuan Li. At the same time, he also told me that he did not possess the Yuan Power himself, and that the Yuan Power he possessed was only forcibly injected into his body by his master with a secret method, and once it was used up, it would be gone.
"But this Yuan Force is really magical, he can use Yuan Force to trigger all kinds of martial arts, and the martial arts that he uses Yuan Force to trigger are much more powerful than other True Qi to trigger.
"And this 'Yin Yang Shaking Sky Sword' was originally a swordsmanship handed down from the Immortal Era, and it was originally intended to use Yuan Force to urge it. It can also be triggered by the true qi of yin and yang, but it is not as powerful as the three percent that is triggered by the yuan force.
"After Yue Zheng told me this, he finally said the purpose of his coming to me. He just wanted my recognition and support, and let me participate in the plan to restore the Yuan Power of the Heavenly Dragon World. ”
"Restore the Yuan Power of the Heavenly Dragon World?" Qingshi was shocked, "Is there really still a Yuan Force in the Heavenly Dragon World, and it can still be restored?" ”
Hearing that Yue Zheng had the Yuan Power injected by his master in his body, Qingshi was quite surprised, and when he heard that Yue Zheng was going to restore the Yuan Power of the Heavenly Dragon World, Qingshi was even more shocked.
"Not bad!" Yan Dunhuang said, "Next, Yue Zheng told me a big secret. Before he told me, he had used a secret technique to put himself in a strange fugue state, because he had been subjected to silence by his master, and he had to use this secret technique to say what he wanted to tell me in full.
Despite this, after saying these words, he was swallowed up by the magic and eventually lost his life. In fact, he had known such a result for a long time, but in order for the Heavenly Dragon World to recover its Yuan Force, he chose to sacrifice himself without hesitation. ”
"Ahh Qingshi sighed with emotion and sighed, "Senior Yue Zheng is really great!" ”
"Yes!" Yan Dunhuang said, "Actually, like Yue Zheng, he is not the only one who chooses to sacrifice himself in exchange for the hope of recovering the Yuan Force of the Heavenly Dragon World.
"Yue Zheng told me that he learned from his master that the legend that Ge Xiaotian extracted Yuan Power and refined it into a curtain covering the sky and turned one yuan into nine qi was true. But there is still a place in this world where Yuan Force exists, and for some reason, Ge Xiaotian did not move that source of Yuan Force.
Yue Zheng said that place was in the eye of the Demon Sea, where there was a demon imprisoned by the ancient gods. The spiritual source of the Great Array is a vein of undersea elemental stone.
"If someone can sneak into the Demon Sea Eye, enter the Great Array to kill the demons trapped in it, and then crack that Great Array and let the Yuan Force be released, then the missing rules of heaven and earth will be completed, and Ge Xiaotian's Dafa of the Unification of Nine Qi will fail.
"In this way, in a short period of a hundred years or a thousand years, the Tianlong World will once again grow a large number of yuan stone veins. The existing nine attribute True Qi will either disappear or coexist with Yuan Li, but in either case, Yuan Li will be restored, and the Celestial Dragon World will once again become a world where true gods can be born.
"Yue Zheng told me this, just to let me lead the top human masters of the Shenmu Continent to complete the restoration of Yuan Force. Naturally, I agreed, because I had already seen the power of Yuan Li, and I knew that if I wanted to become an immortal, I had to restore Yuan Li. ”
"I see!" Qingshi nodded and said, "I remember that Zeng Bufan's predecessors once said that their final destination was the Demon Sea, could it be that Jiang Tianlong and his party were summoned by you Yan seniors, and they went to the Demon Sea to kill the demons and release the Yuan Force together?" ”
"Jiang Tianlong, they are indeed here for this," Yan Dunhuang said, "However, they were not summoned by me. The one who asked them to come here was a senior brother of Yue Zheng, named Xingxiang, and the method he used was naturally the same as Yue Zheng.
"Yue Zheng also had a senior brother named Gu Rong who went to the Sky Eagle Continent and used the same method to persuade Sheng Zhengyi. That's why I say that a great hero like Yue Zheng is not just him, but three of their brothers and sisters. They were all forbidden by their master, and they all ended up sacrificing their lives for it. ”
"Senior Yan is right!" "They are indeed heroes!" ”
"Old Ancestor," Yan Ruyun asked, "Since Yue Zheng is so powerful, his two senior brothers are naturally even more proficient, why don't they go to the Demon Sea by themselves, but go to the three continents separately to persuade the rulers of each continent to come and do this?" According to what you said, even you are far less powerful than Yue Zheng's combat power! ”
"It's not that simple," Yan Dunhuang said, "Yue Zheng and his two senior brothers are actually not that powerful, the Yuan Power in their bodies is only enough to fight me or Jiang Tianlong and Sheng Zhengyi once. Without Yuan Li, their combat power is at most equal to mine, and compared to Jiang Tianlong and Sheng Zhengyi, they are actually slightly inferior.
"Moreover, it is very difficult to enter and crack the Great Array of the Demon Sea, and with the strength of the three of them, it is impossible to complete it. Later, Jiang Tianlong and I organized more than 30 Shenyuan Realm masters and hundreds of Immortal Pill Realm cultivators, but the result of our operation was almost annihilation, and in the end, it didn't succeed! ”
"By the way, Ancestor," Yan Ruyun said, "What is the situation of Yue Zheng's master?" Why was he able to use Yuan Li, and why did he give Yue Zheng a forbidden spell? ”
"Yue Zheng told me," Yan Dunhuang said, "their master is a person from the Immortal Era, he has a large number of Yuan Stones, and he uses Yuan Power to cultivate exercises and promote martial arts, so his combat power is definitely the strongest in this world."
"Yue Zheng and the others hope that the master can take action to restore the Yuan Force, but their Master is unwilling, he wants him to be the only one in this world who can use the Yuan Force, so as to maintain his position as the number one in the world.
"Yue Zheng and the others did not approve of their master's approach, so their master cast a ban on them. Their Master would be dormant for a hundred or two hundred years every once in a while, so they took advantage of Master's dormancy to formulate and implement this plan.
"Their master injected Yuan Force into them and taught them the martial arts of the Immortal Age, so that they could save their lives in a critical moment. But they used Yuan Li to prove to me, Jiang Tianlong, and Sheng Zhengyi that Yuan Li existed and could be restored. They would rather sacrifice their lives to make the Celestial Dragon World a world where true gods can be born once again. ”
"Who is their master?" Yan Ruyun frowned and said, "He's too selfish!" ”
"I don't know," Yan Dunhuang shook his head and said, "I asked Yue Zheng, but he refused to say it, or he couldn't say it because of the forbidden speech technique. ”
"I know!" Qingshi said, "If I'm not mistaken, their master is Ge Xiaotian's younger brother, the pseudo-heavenly god Ge Wu!" ”
