Chapter 1: The Black Broken Sword
Yuanshi Town, Zhou's family.
Under the scorching sun, there were dozens of young men and women practicing kung fu in a square, all sweating and miserable. A middle-aged man shuttled through the crowd with his hands on his hands, snorting coldly from time to time, scolding the lazy teenager.
On a large stone at the edge of the square, sat cross-legged a sword-eyed young man, only seventeen or eighteen years old, slender and very handsome.
It was the middle of September, and it was the most poisonous time for the autumn tigers, and under the sun, the stone was so hot that it could boil eggs. But although the handsome young man's brows twitched all the time, he never stood up, and the sweat rolled down, wetting his sideburns.
His name is Zhou Heng, and he is practicing the Zhou family's secret martial arts martial arts.
Martial arts cultivation is to refine the food eaten in the stomach, extract the energy that can be absorbed in it, refine it into its own true yuan power, and store it in the cells in the body. This scorching sun recipe can use the power of sunlight to accelerate the absorption of food and improve the efficiency of transformation.
The more blazing the sun, the higher the efficiency of this transformation, but there are a few people who can withstand the exposure of this scorching sun, and at most they will have to run to the shade to enjoy the cool after cultivating for more than ten minutes or half an hour.
But Zhou Heng has been cultivating since sunrise in the morning, and it has been three hours now!
Not for a day or two, but for several years!
It's a pity that Zhou Heng's body is too wasteful, and his ascetic cultivation is still in the early stage of the first layer of body refining, and there is almost no difference between him and those who have not cultivated.
Martial artists are divided into 12 steps according to the level of cultivation, called the 12 layers of body refining, and after reaching the 12 layers of body refining, they can impact a higher level, and it is said that once they succeed, they can ascend to the sky in one step! However, for more than 100 years, there has never been a person in the Zhou family who has embarked on the road to heaven.
The twelve layers of refining the body can be subdivided into four realms, the first three layers are the skin refining realm, the fourth to sixth layers are the flesh refining realm, the seventh to ninth layers are the bone refining realm, and the tenth to twelfth layers are the blood refining realm.
The true yuan power cultivated by a martial artist is stored in the cells of the body, which is a gradual process, first the skin, then the muscles, then the bones, and finally the blood.
Therefore, there is a division of the four realms.
There is a big difference in the amount of strength between each realm, a Flesh Refining Realm martial artist is against a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, that is basically the share of being killed in seconds! And within the same realm, for example, the fourth layer of the refining body and the sixth layer of the refining body are both the flesh refining realm, then the fight must be more advantageous for the sixth layer of the refining body, but it is impossible to be crushing.
The road of martial arts is difficult, the higher you go, the more bumpy the road becomes, after entering the blood refining realm, you may not be able to improve to a level for more than ten years!
However, the Skin Refining Realm is still quite easy to break through, generally speaking, as long as there is enough food supply and the person is diligent in cultivation, then it will take half a year to reach the peak of the first level of the body refining, and it will only take three years to complete the entire Skin Refining Realm.
Zhou Heng began to cultivate the Burning Sun Technique at the age of eight, and it has been nearly ten years now, but his cultivation is still in the early stage of the first layer of body refining, which is simply an aggressive thing, and the family has invited countless doctors to diagnose and test without the slightest result, which can only be attributed to one reason, that is, Zhou Heng's own qualifications are too poor, and he is not naturally suitable for cultivation!
Stone-like!
And what is incomprehensible is that Zhou Heng's father, Zhou Dinghai, is a genius, a real genius, who has completed skin refining in half a year, meat refining in two years, and bone refining in five years, and is only forty-one years old, but he has already reached the tenth layer of refining the body, refining blood!
Prior to this, the fastest clansman of the Zhou family to enter the Blood Refining Realm was also sixty-three years old, which shows how terrifying Zhou Dinghai's talent is!
Such a genius definitely has the qualifications to hit the road to heaven!
Tiger Father and Dog Son!
This is the Zhou family's evaluation of Zhou Heng, and this is still polite, many people call him a waste behind their backs, if it weren't for Zhou Dinghai being one of the six elders of the family, this insult would have been poured in front of him.
"Won't that shit give up?"
"Hmph, what if you don't give up, how many doctors have seen it, and all of them say that he has no illness or disease, and his inability to cultivate is because his own qualifications are too poor!"
"Fortunately, the family still has us, otherwise if the demon beast comes to attack, everyone will have to wait for death!"
"It's obviously a waste, but the amount of food is bigger than anyone else's, it's really a rice bucket!"
"I think he's just pretending to be there, deliberately sitting there, and he's not cultivating at all!"
The boys and girls in the square stopped to rest for a while, and several people talked one after another, and their voices were not low, so that Zhou Heng could hear them clearly.
"Shut up!" The middle-aged man in charge of the supervision immediately scolded, his name was Zhou Yuanyang, and he could barely be regarded as Zhou Heng's cousin in terms of blood relationship, he said with a straight face, "Pretend? Which of you should also go and pretend! Whoever can sit on that big rock for an hour, I will exempt him from the rest of today's homework!"
When these words came out, those young boys and girls were suddenly speechless.
Just kidding, that stone is so hot that it can boil eggs, who can sit for an hour? Not to mention an hour, even ten minutes is enough to choke! Only a few people who cultivate the Burning Sun Technique can transform the high temperature -- but not everyone in the Zhou family cultivates the Burning Sun Technique!
Zhou Yuanyang walked to Zhou Heng's side, sighing slightly in his heart, he saw this young man's efforts in his eyes, but God had no eyes, so he was born unable to cultivate.
"Don't take it to heart!" he could only comfort Zhou Heng.
"Uncle Xie Lu!" Zhou Heng showed a sincere smile, as bright as the sun.
"Don't be too tired, pay attention to your body!" Zhou Yuanyang persuaded.
Sitting on this big stone to cultivate, even he couldn't hold on for a long time, let alone Zhou Heng, who hadn't even reached the early stage of the first layer of body refining?
"I understand!" Zhou Heng nodded, but he didn't mean to get up at all.
Zhou Yuanyang sighed again in his heart, and his regret was even stronger, thinking that if this young man could have the same talent as his father, then with such hard work, I am afraid the future will be even brighter!
He turned his head to look at the young boys and girls who were resting in the shade of the trees, and suddenly a wave of anger swelled up, and shouted, "The rest is over, continue to practice!"
"No, we've only had less than five minutes of rest!"
"It's just that I haven't even been able to catch my breath in such a short time!"
"It's all to blame on that piece of shit, it's all about us!"
Those young boys and girls returned to the playground in a sparse manner, staring at Zhou Heng with hostile eyes, blaming him for everything.
Zhou Heng saw these gazes, but he didn't pay attention to them at all, he was still running the Burning Sun Technique, using the power of the sun to continuously refine the food in his body and transform it into his own true yuan power.
In his body, food was constantly refining under the action of sunlight and exercises, forming countless free energy, and under the operation of the Blazing Sun Jue, it turned into a stream of true yuan power, circulating in his body.
Everything is normal here, but when the true yuan power flows to the abdomen, it suddenly turns a corner, plunges into the dantian, and never comes out again!
True Yuan Power can only burst out when it is needed when it is stored in cells, and the skin, flesh, bones, and blood are all over the human body. Although it is rumored that the dantian is also very important, it is related to the ethereal road to heaven, but Zhou Heng has not even laid a stable foundation now, how can he think about the road to heaven?
Only Zhou Heng himself knew that the reason why he couldn't cultivate was because of this dantian!
To be specific, it is a broken sword in the dantian!
Zhou Heng had a secret that no one knew about the Dao, that is, when he started cultivating at the age of eight, it was as if his consciousness could transform into shape, and he could flow freely in his body, seeing every detail of his body.
It was at that time that he saw a broken sword floating in his dantian.
It is more than a foot long, and the whole body is pitch black, and even the hilt of the sword is jet black. Although it is a broken sword, it gives people a majestic and sweeping majesty, as if it has existed since the opening of the world, through the ages and thousands of wildernesses, and will last forever!
changed to another child, and when he saw this scene, he was so scared that he cried!
But Zhou Heng has been a very assertive person since he was a child, and he was stunned to hide this secret.
He doesn't want to be a monster in everyone's eyes!
When he was diagnosed by the first doctor, Zhou Heng was still worried in his heart, but the doctor didn't notice the existence of the broken sword at all. Not only this doctor, but all the doctors invited by Zhou Dinghai did not find the existence of the black broken sword, as if it only existed in Zhou Heng's imagination!
Since others don't even know about the existence of the black broken sword, how can they talk about taking it out?
Over time, instead of becoming a monster, he became a recognized waste. But no one knows the Dao, it's not that he can't cultivate martial arts, but the true yuan power that he has worked so hard to cultivate has been "eaten" by the black broken sword!
This robber, even if he hid in his body as a nest, actually sucked his true yuan power clean!
But knowing that the black sword of Lu Dao was a bandit, why did Zhou Heng continue to cultivate for Lu?
Because there is still a glimmer of hope, and that is that there will always be a time to feed the black broken sword!
When the time comes, the True Yuan Power he has cultivated will be able to be used by himself!
His qualifications are not bad, which can be reflected in the amount of food he eats, because for a martial artist, food is equal to true yuan power. He eats more food every day than any of his peers, which means that the True Yuan Power he cultivates every day far exceeds that of others!
Because of this glimmer of hope, he calmly faced a pair of disdainful eyes and a stinky face of disdain! He firmly believed that as long as the black broken sword no longer dragged him back, he would definitely be able to throw himself to the ground!
That day is getting closer!
He could feel that the Black Broken Sword was changing all the time, but the process was too slow and too slow. But dripping water can still penetrate stones, and ten years have passed, and it is finally time to form a qualitative change!
It's just these days!
This hope supported him to endure the scorching sun, the high temperature that could burn his buttocks, and the extremely boring meditation, which was to continue to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate, feeding the huge appetite of the black broken sword of the dantian.
In addition to eating, Zhou Heng has been sitting on the stone to cultivate, and it is not that he is cultivating the Burning Sun Technique, which can transform the high temperature into a human being and be roasted dry!
A few hours later, the sun set, and Zhou Heng staggered to his feet and walked towards his residence.
"Want to go, crawl under me!" A teenager suddenly blocked Zhou Heng's way, clasping his hands on his chest, with a proud smile on his face, and four teenagers watching the play on the side.
