Chapter 4 The Entry is Fierce
Although he didn't want to sleep, Zhou Heng still forced himself to rest, he was now in the critical period of growing his body.
After sleeping until dawn, Zhou Heng got up, hurriedly ate breakfast, and began to deduce and ponder the nine-style swordsmanship in his mind.
He didn't have too much ambition, he just spent his spirit on the first style of swordsmanship.
This is a step-by-step process, in order to practice the second style of swordsmanship, you must first master the first style, and you can't jump it, this is the conclusion he came to after observing the nine-style sword technique in his mind countless times.
From the beginning of the morning to the end of the night, Zhou Heng was figuring out the first style of swordsmanship, constantly mellow the mysteries in it, and every time he performed it, he had a new understanding, more and more integrated with heaven and earth, and in harmony with nature.
Despite this, he was still unable to use this first sword technique in its entirety.
In the middle of the moon, Zhou Heng stopped studying the swordsmanship, and instead sat cross-legged and cultivated the Burning Sun Technique.
Airplanes!
At midnight, the black broken sword trembled on time, releasing a large amount of free energy. Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't be polite, Haina whale sucked, and after half an hour, these energies were absorbed by him, and his cultivation had improved a lot.
"If I continue like this, it will only take five to six days for me to reach the peak of the first level of body refining!" Zhou Heng couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Although he didn't have any understanding of the Black Broken Sword, it didn't prevent him from making speculations, the Black Broken Sword had been absorbing the true yuan power he had cultivated for the past ten years, as if he was building a key.
When he has accumulated enough true yuan power, the key will be created, and the ability of the black broken sword will be opened, and he will be passed on to the inexplicable sword technique of the nine styles, and will provide him with a large amount of free energy every day.
The previous ten years were a long and incomparably long testing period, and if he gave up in the middle of the middle, he would never be able to wait for the current result!
Thankfully, he persevered, otherwise he would have spent his life doing nothing and becoming a veritable waste.
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and after ten years of stinging and patience, Zhou Heng has cultivated incomparable patience and tempered his will to be extremely firm.
It was true that he started ten years later than others, but as long as the Black Broken Sword could continue to exert its divine effect, then it would only take him four months to make up for it! After that, his cultivation path would be countless times wider than others!
"Three months later, the year-end celebration will be, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are waiting to see my jokes and be removed from the family tree!"
"After so many years, my image of waste has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, who has ever looked at me?"
"I've thought countless times that one day I'm going to stand proudly in front of everyone and slap them hard with facts, and now, the opportunity has finally come!"
"The year-end celebration is the time when I have a blockbuster!"
"Continue to study that mysterious sword technique!"
Suddenly, another three days passed, and the black broken sword did not disappoint Zhou Heng, and every day at midnight, a large amount of free energy was released, allowing Zhou Heng to successfully advance his cultivation to the peak of the first layer of body refining.
Next, it is to break through the small realm, if he does not cross this threshold, his cultivation will not be able to make any further progress.
Relatively speaking, such a breakthrough is very easy, it is all in the skin refining realm, as long as there is enough strength, it can break through in one fell swoop, and there is not too much difficulty. However, the breakthrough of the Great Realm is very difficult, and the threshold of the Flesh Refining Realm alone is enough to make ninety percent of martial artists sad.
It was only an hour of hard work, and Zhou Heng only felt light, but he had already advanced to the second layer of body refining.
"So easy?"
"Although the small realm is easy to break through, it's a bit exaggerated that I'm so relaxed, right?"
After the breakthrough, Zhou Heng did not feel the increase in strength, this is normal, the breakthrough of the realm only gave him room to continue to improve, and this benefit was slowly reflected through the accumulation of cultivation, rather than immediate.
He gave the Nine Styles Mysterious Sword Technique a name, called Ling Tian Nine Styles, but although he spent most of his time practicing the first style of swordsmanship every day, he still couldn't even draw the swordsmanship out of it!
This Ling Tian Nine Style couldn't be seen by outsiders, so Zhou Heng didn't go to the square again, he just stayed in his courtyard every day, jumping up and waving a few wooden swords from time to time like a madman.
Regarding his absence, the junior characters of the Zhou family all thought that he knew that he would not be able to reach the meat refining realm before the end of the year, and finally gave up his dying struggle, which inevitably led to another cynicism.
Zhou Heng naturally didn't care about other people's opinions, just stinged quietly, waiting for the day when he would break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
After another ten days, he advanced his cultivation to the late stage of the second layer of body refining, and he only needed two or three days to reach the peak and hit the third layer of body refining! What made him even happier was that he had finally made a breakthrough in Ling Tian's first-form study, and he could barely use half a move.
Zhou Heng didn't have a sparring partner, so he couldn't know how powerful the half-style swordsmanship of Lu Dao was, and he couldn't just find someone in the Zhou family to make a move, so he could only practice alone.
"It will take at least half a month for me to be able to fully display this style of sword technique!" Zhou Heng couldn't help but shake his head, just one style of sword technique would take a month to initially cast, was this because he was too stupid, or was this Ling Tian Nine style too mysterious?
"If you can't find someone from your family, then go to Pingtian Mountain to find a beast to practice! Only a real life-and-death struggle can improve the use of swordsmanship! This is experience, and no one can teach it!"
"But I have to wait until I reach the Flesh Refining Realm, otherwise it will be too dangerous!"
"Settle down!"
Zhou Heng didn't think about those things, he was practicing the sword technique, but the improvement of his cultivation became very simple, and he only needed to spend half an hour every day refining the free energy released by the black broken sword.
If you let others know that half an hour of cultivation every day can be worth a month of penance for ordinary people, it will definitely make anyone's eyes red with envy!
After ten years of white eyes, Zhou Heng finally got a heavy harvest.
Another two days passed, and he reached the peak of the second layer of body refining, and in just over an hour, he broke through again and entered the third layer of body refining.
Counting the time, it was only nineteen days from beginning to end!
That's ridiculously fast!
Zhou Heng didn't get carried away, although now his cultivation was fierce, but after all, the starting point was too low, and there was nothing to be proud of when he took out the third layer of refining his body.
Looking at the rules of the Zhou family, when he was eighteen years old, he had to be removed from the family tree before he reached the realm of meat refining, and it can be seen that Zhou Heng's cultivation was still pitifully low, far from meeting the minimum requirements.
In the blink of an eye, the still scorching September had already passed, and the crisp autumn October had also passed halfway, Zhou Heng's cultivation was still as diligent as flying, and he had reached the peak of the third layer of body refining, facing the first problem since his cultivation.
Break through the realm!
Zhou Heng originally thought that this would trap him for at least ten days, or even longer, because his extremely talented father also used a full nine days, but what he didn't expect was that he would cross this threshold after only half a day!
He was in a daze for a while before accepting this fact, and then when he looked back and thought about it again, Zhou Heng found that it was not without reason.
That's because he has been studying Ling Tian Nine Styles continuously for the past month, even if he just got a trace of inspiration, it made him feel as if he had mastered the most mysterious truth in the world, and there was no mystery in front of him.
The black sword is definitely at the level of the treasure!
The first difficulty in martial arts climbing lies in the accumulation of true yuan power. However, this is not so much a difficulty, but a long time, theoretically, as long as you are willing to take the time, then you can always reach the peak of a certain realm - except for the special situation that Zhou Heng's true yuan power will be eaten before.
And the second difficulty is naturally to break through the great realm, in fact, this is the real fatal!
The accumulation of true yuan power only needs the accumulation of time, but the breakthrough of the great realm requires understanding, and if you can't understand it, you can't understand it, and you will be stuck in place for the rest of your life!
From this point of view, understanding is actually more important than hard work!
Therefore, on the road of martial arts, it is basically a genius who has reached the peak, and occasionally there are hard-working people who climb to the peak, but they must have obtained a great opportunity, otherwise it is useless to be diligent.
The black sword solved both problems at once!
The hardships and grievances I have endured in the past ten years are not unjust!
It's time to go to the Pingtian Mountains!
Warriors who have not gone through actual combat can only stay at the level of talking on paper, and once they encounter a life-and-death fight, it is very likely that they will die under the enemy's sword without even exerting their strength.
The strong are not trained, but fought!
Zhou Heng cleaned up his salute, and after taking an iron sword, he quietly left the Zhou family, walked out of Yuanshi Town, and entered the dense forest of the vast Pingtian Mountain Range.
The last time you left Primordial Town, when was it?
Zhou Heng recalled that it was when he was very young, his father once took him into the Pingtian Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts, and since the "problem" that he couldn't cultivate, Zhou Dinghai began to look for elixirs for him all over the world, so naturally he didn't have the time to accompany him anymore.
I don't know where my father is now? Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel a strong feeling of admiration.
The Pingtian Mountain Range is very large, as for how big it is, Zhou Heng doesn't know, he only knows that there are not only countless beasts in this mountain, but also the existence of demon beasts!
Demon beasts are beasts that are born with the ability to cultivate, they either enhance their bodies by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, or by hunting each other, and the energy rich in their flesh far exceeds that of ordinary beasts, which is a great supplement for martial artists.
But demon beasts are also extremely dangerous existences, just like humans are far from being opponents of tigers, and martial artists in the same realm are not opponents of demon beasts. The reason why Zhou Heng had to reach the Flesh Refining Realm before entering the Pingtian Mountain Range was because he was afraid of encountering demon beasts, which was an existence that he could not fight.
Half a day later, he was already deep in the mountains and forests, full of tiger roaring apes, full of primitive breath.
"Ang-" With a roar, a huge black bear swooped out of the bushes and pounced on Zhou Heng with a paw.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but show an excited expression, and with a bang, the long sword was unsheathed, and the first form of Ling Tian's Nine Swords had already flowed.
