Chapter 2 Young Master Duan Rui (middle)
Before dawn in the early morning, Duan Zhengying took Duan Rui, who was just about to go to the sect's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to learn the Qimen Escape Technique, and rushed to the sect's holy land, Tianlong Tower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Originally, Duan Zhengxiong was also going to go with him, but there were temporary important things in the sect that he couldn't leave, so he couldn't accompany him.
Duan Zhengxiong is not only amazingly talented in martial arts, but also very assertive in managing the affairs of the sect, and is very loved by the sect on weekdays, and Duan Zhengying's obsession with cultivation has faintly given birth to the idea of wanting to retreat into the background, so it is very likely that the next sect master of the Duan Sect will fall on this Zheng Xiong.
The inheritance of the Duan Sect is very particular, generally only the direct descendants of the Duan Sect are qualified to take over the position of the sect master and deputy sect master, if the previous sect master abdicates, it will be necessary to choose from other direct descendants, and Duan Rui is limited by age and circumstances, and it is difficult to say whether Duan Rui can take on the important responsibilities of the sect in the future due to age and circumstances.
Duan Zhengying and Duan Zhengxiong are brothers and sisters who have a very close relationship, and Duan Zhengying has no heirs, so they both very much hope that Duan Rui can take on the responsibility of inheriting Duanmen's incense in the future, so as to ensure that Duanmen's inheritance bloodline can continue forever.
However, as the sect leader of the four major sects of martial arts, Duan Sect's position is bound to be held by a strong man with a high level of cultivation who can convince everyone, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people and affect the cohesion and deterrence of the sect.
Duan Rui was apprehensive, although he was young, he understood many things in his heart, so he had worked hard to learn the Qimen Escape Technique all these years in order to plan for his future.
Soon a tall tower appeared not far in front of Duan Rui and Duan Zhengying, this tower has a total of nine floors, each floor is about five meters high, boxy from one floor upwards the area is decreasing layer by layer, from a distance, it looks like a giant sword standing upside down between heaven and earth.
The tower's four walls are made of dark gray stones, giving people a sense of majesty, and each wall is built with a semi-oval window hollowed out in the middle, and the first impression of the tower is that of a quaint atmosphere.
"Disciple Duan Zhengying, with Duan Rui, a direct descendant of the Duan family, came to meet the seniors of the clan. Duan Zhengying took Duan Rui to the tower and bowed respectfully.
Duan Rui followed behind him and hurriedly bowed, he still vaguely remembered this place, he was only six years old when he last came here, and his mood was also difficult to calm when he came to this tower after twelve years.
"It's been twelve years!, bring Rui'er in!" a majestic voice came from the eighth floor of the Heavenly Dragon Tower.
Hearing this, Duan Zhengying showed a surprised expression on his face, and hurriedly got up and led Duan Rui's hand and walked towards the Tianlong Tower.
Duan Rui glanced up at the eighth layer of the Heavenly Dragon Tower, and he had the impression that the cultivator in the eighth layer of the Heavenly Dragon Pagoda was another demigod-level powerhouse in the sect, the peak powerhouse of the early stage of the Puyuan Realm.
The common name of Master Benxin is Duan Lianli, the thirty-sixth generation sect master of Duanmen, who began to cultivate in the Tianlong Pagoda more than 500 years ago, and finally broke through the shackles of the Tianyuan Realm after 300 years of seclusion and became a powerhouse in the Puyuan Realm.
It is said that this incident also caused a sensation in the entire martial arts at that time, and even the four major martial arts factions personally sent strong people to congratulate them, and the royal family of the Great Song Empire specially sent special envoys to send congratulatory gifts to show respect.
In this world of martial arts, it is the law of nature that the weak eat the strong, and the strong can get the respect they deserve, while the weak can only sigh the injustice of fate.
Duan Rui followed his uncle into the Tianlong Pagoda and walked directly to the fourth floor, the Tianlong Pagoda is divided into nine floors, the first to third floors belong to the place where mundane affairs are handled, and the people living in it are generally the Dharma Protector Hall masters or in-service elders in the sect, and the fourth to ninth floors are inhabited by the top six powerhouses of the Duan Gate.
Their status in the Duanmen is noble, just to pursue a higher realm of martial cultivation, and they have relieved themselves of their positions and entered the Heavenly Dragon Pagoda for cultivation, in order to break through to a higher realm in their lifetime.
When Duan Rui and his uncle came to the fourth floor, there were already five men in elder clothes waiting here, and the one standing in the middle was none other than the demigod-level powerhouse Master Origin Heart who had just spoken.
At a glance, it seems that the Master of the Heart is only thirty or forty years old, and his appearance is quite decent, but Duan Rui knows very well in his heart that the real age of this Master of the Heart is more than a thousand years old!
It's just that for Shouyuan, who has been a powerhouse in the Puyuan Realm for 3,000 years, he is still very young at more than a thousand years old, and the master of the heart has a face with a national character, thick eyebrows, and a solemn and inviolable expression.
There were two men standing on each side of the Master of the Heart, Duan Rui was only six years old when he came to the Heavenly Dragon Tower, and he only had a one-sided relationship with them, and now he has no impression.
However, Duan Rui knew in his heart that these four powerhouses were all grandmaster-level powerhouses at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm, and they were only one step away from the Puyuan Realm, but it was this step away from the footsteps of countless grandmaster-level powerhouses, and finally died with hatred.
"Rui'er, come with me to meet the seniors in the sect. Duan Zhengying saluted the five middle-aged men respectfully and said, Duan Rui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed like his uncle.
"Rui'er, it's been twelve years in the blink of an eye, raise your head and let me wait. Master Benxin's expression was a little more kind after seeing Duan Rui, as if an elder was looking at his own child.
Hearing this, Duan Rui immediately straightened up and raised his head to look at the sect senior in front of him, his expression slightly restrained and nervous.
"Okay! What a delicate young man, haha! It has the appearance of Zheng Xiong when he was young, and he will definitely not embarrass my Duan Men when he walks in martial arts in the future, haha!" Master Benxin couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face after seeing the handsome and dashing young man Duan Rui in front of him, and nodded in approval.
Through his uncle's introduction, Duan Rui learned that the middle-aged man standing on the right hand side of the Master of the Heart who looked to be thirty or forty years old with a melon seed face was the Master of the Origin, who was more than five hundred years old this year, and was the former deputy sect master of the Duan Sect.
And the man on the right hand side of Master Ben Xin who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with a withered face, was Master Ben Shan, who was already eight hundred years old this year, and was already a veritable veteran grandmaster powerhouse for the Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, Qianzai Shouyuan. If he can't break through the shackles within two hundred years, what awaits him will be the end of his life.
However, the reality is so cruel, in the world of martial cultivation, I don't know how many powerhouses who stay at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm and the Great Perfection Realm will end up with hatred.
The handsome and carefree man on the left hand side of the Master of the Heart was the Master of the Dharma, who was said to be only over four hundred years old now, but he had already broken through the peak of the Tianyuan Realm and rushed to the Great Perfection Realm when he cultivated decades ago.
It can be said that he is the most promising potential powerhouse among all people to break through the shackles of the Tianyuan Realm in his lifetime, and to Duan Rui's surprise, this master of this method is also a master of Qimen Retreat.
And the other burly middle-aged man on the left hand side of the master of the heart is the master of the original extinction, speaking of this master of the destruction is a little special, because the master of the original extinction is a martial arts master who has grown up from physical training, and his muscles give people a strong visual impact, and he is also a very potential Tianyuan Realm peak Great Perfection powerhouse who is more than six hundred years old this year.
These five are the mainstays of today's Duan Sect, one of the five demigod-level powerhouses and four grandmaster-level peak Great Perfection powerhouses, any of them are almost invincible existences when they appear in the world, but they appear here at the same time at this moment, if outsiders see them, I'm afraid they will be so nervous that they can't even breathe!
"Rui'er, come here!" When Duan Rui was stunned, Master Benxin stretched out his right hand and motioned for this junior of the clan who he liked very much to come to his side.
Although Duan Rui was nervous, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly got up and walked to Master Benxin.
Although this was not the first time Duan Rui had come into direct contact with a demigod-level powerhouse, tension and depression still involuntarily appeared in his heart.
"Rui'er, I heard that you have shown a very good talent in Qimen Escape Technique, is that true?" the Master of the Heart looked at Duan Rui in front of him with a somewhat expectant look and asked.
"Uh......" Duan Rui never expected that the first question this demigod powerhouse asked him was not his physical condition over the years, but about the Qimen Escape Technique's attainments, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Rui'er, it's really gratifying that you can have such talent and attainments in the Qimen Escape Technique, but I still need to remind you here that although the Qimen Escape Technique is magical, it needs a certain amount of martial arts cultivation as a foundation to exert its due power, don't put the cart before the horse!"
Master Benxin's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled kindly, looking at Duan Rui, who was tall and handsome in front of him, and reminded seriously.
"Yes! Rui'er remembers the master's teachings!" Duan Rui was suddenly startled, and bowed to the master of the heart with a serious expression.
"Rui'er, I didn't expect you to have such a high talent and attainments in Qimen Retreat, I was very happy when I first heard about it, and in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me to ask, and I will definitely teach you." ”
The master of the Honfa who was standing on the left hand side of the master of the heart looked at the handsome and dashing young man in front of his face, and suddenly reminded him of when he was young, and his expression was full of love.
"Thank you Master for your success, Rui'er is terrified!" Duan Rui thanked with an excited expression when he heard this.
"Don't be afraid! You know how terrifying your qualifications are, you can be regarded as a demon! You have only been in contact with the Qimen Escape Technique for ten years, but you have achieved what others can only achieve in hundreds of years without the guidance of your master, which is really enviable.......
"Before that, I always thought that my talent in Qimen gambling was already a genius-level existence, but when I compare it with you, I know how ridiculous my talent is......." The master of this method stopped at this point, but the envy between his words was still very obvious.
"However, Rui'er, although you are extremely talented, as your original heart master uncle said, don't put the cart before the horse, you need to know that all powerful secret techniques and holy arts must rely on your own cultivation to be able to perform, so your martial arts realm will directly affect the maximum power that Qimen Escape Technique can exert in your hands. ”
After shaking his head and sighing, the Dharma Master's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he looked at Duan Rui seriously and reminded.
Hearing this, Duan Rui's heart was instantly pinched, and he had faintly realized that what this Fa Master was going to mention next would be extremely important to him.......
