Chapter 416: The New Eight
It was the first time he had heard about this Genesis Mountain, and although it was a little unimaginable, Xia Mu still chose to temporarily believe in its existence.
It's just that this so-called guardian of the Heavenly Dao has really been recognized by the Heavenly Dao?
Just as Xia Mu was secretly thinking about it, the puppeteer suddenly asked:
"What's the matter, I said so many secrets, presumably Brother Xia should be able to feel my sincerity, right?"
Hearing this, Xia Mu frowned slightly, and said, "The reward you said earlier that satisfies me doesn't mean the information about Genesis Mountain, right?"
"Haha, Brother Xia laughed, the information about Genesis Mountain is just something I told you for free, and what I want to say next is the real reward for Brother Xia. The puppeteer snorted before asking, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xia's Eight Heavenly Dragon Fists have already cultivated to the stage where they can perform the third level of transformation, right?"
"The puppeteer has good eyesight, I have indeed cultivated the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist to the third level of transformation stage. Faced with the puppeteer's inquiry, Xia Mu had nothing to hide, and admitted calmly.
"Hehe, since that's the case, I don't know if Brother Xia has noticed that when the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fists have been cultivated to the third level, their power doesn't seem to be much stronger than the second level?" Seeing Xia Mu admit it calmly, the puppeteer suddenly changed his words and asked again.
"This ...... Indeed, as you said, puppeteer, after I cultivated to the third form of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, I really felt that its power was not much stronger than the second layer, could it be that there was another mystery in this?" Hearing this, Xia Mu's eyes lit up slightly and asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, that's not it, if it's the first generation of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, then this is indeed the case. The puppeteer laughed.
"The original Eight Heavenly Dragon Fists, hearing you say this, could it be that there are other versions of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fists?" Xia Mu's eyes flashed, and he asked with an interested expression.
"Yes, as far as I know, although this exercise was created by an ancient cultivator in ancient times, it was rumored for a while, but at that time, the ancient cultivator was limited to his own realm was not high enough, so although the eight Heavenly Dragon Fists created were exquisite, but they were not very profound, and there were many defects, many people who practiced this boxing technique found that the power of the third level of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist was not much greater than the power of the second level, and the fourth layer did not even reach the creator himself, and over time, the number of people who practiced this technique decreased day by day. The puppeteer spoke slowly.
"That's true. Xia Mu nodded.
The creator of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist himself once said that he had not seen the real Eight Heavenly Dragon Form, everything was made up by him according to the records in the ancient books, only with its form, but not its divine will, listening to the tone of the puppeteer, it seems that there are latecomers who have improved it.
"I won't go around the bend anymore, I won't hide it from Brother Xia, although the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist exercises have many flaws, but the core level of the technique is extremely high, so it later aroused the interest of an Eternal Saint, and improved it, so that its power has truly reached the level of Great Perfection, and in my hand, there is exactly the modification note made by the Eternal Saint specifically for the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, as well as some cultivation experiences and insights. I don't think Brother Xia is completely uninterested in this, right?" said the puppeteer, and with a flip of his palm, he took out a simple bamboo slip from the Qiankun ring.
Xia Mu's eyes lightly swept the bamboo slip in the puppeteer's hand, and after a change in the cloudy weather, his expression slowly spoke: "Not enough! Even so, if you want me to promise to help you with this exercise alone, I'm afraid it's still lacking, although I don't know what you specifically need me to help you do, but when it comes to the key of the Immortal Mansion, I'm afraid it's not a single exercise that can offset its risks." ”
"Talking to smart people is a real headache. The puppeteer sighed helplessly, and then his voice was slightly raised, and he said, "In this way, as long as you help me enter that immortal mansion, I can promise to let you choose three of the treasures that I don't need." ”
"Just in case, I want to know how many treasures you need?" Hearing this, Xia Mu asked with a smile on his face.
"One, there is only one treasure in the Immortal Mansion that I must get, and you can choose any other treasure. Of course, since I have invited other people, and the prices offered are similar to yours, if the treasures you choose overlap at that time, you will need to negotiate for yourself. The puppeteer said.
"Oh, you invited other people too?" Xia Mu asked with a moving expression when he heard this.
"Hehe, this is natural, otherwise do you think that the two of us alone can completely break the formation prohibition of that Immortal Mansion?" the puppeteer asked with a smile.
Xia Mu didn't choose to answer, but asked sharply: "Can you tell me how you want me to help?" Since you are willing to pay such a price, I think what I have to do will not be simple, although I am quite confident in my own strength, but I am not blindly arrogant." ”
"Well. It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's a big deal, I can't reveal too much content until you agree, Brother Xia, but I can guarantee that there is no risk in what you need to do on this trip, it's just that you have to use the improved third form of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist to break a certain prohibition. Besides, take 10,000 steps back and say, if you want to get the reward I offered, even if it is worth taking a little risk, what does Brother Xia think?" asked the puppeteer with a twinkle in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xia Mu suddenly fell silent.
The puppeteer picked up the wine jug unhurriedly, and poured another cup of drunken immortals for Xia Mu and himself, as if Xia Mu would definitely agree.
"Okay, I agreed to this matter, I don't know when we will leave?" After thinking about it for nearly a cup of tea, Xia Mu finally nodded and said.
He thought about it for a while, and finally felt that he could give it a try, after all, the puppeteer didn't look like the kind of person who was looking for death, and with his current strength, something that could be called a risk to a monk in the Immortal Realm might not be able to hurt him. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is a life and death crisis, Xia Mu will consume the power of the Immortal Spirit Wood at most one more time, and compared with the treasures in the Immortal Mansion, it is still within an acceptable range.
"Brother Xia really lived up to my expectations, I will send a message to inform several other Taoist friends to meet here, it is estimated that it will take about a month or two, during this time, Brother Xia will first practice the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist. Seeing Xia Mu agree, the puppeteer first laughed, and then threw the bamboo slip and a jade bottle in his hand to Xia Mu with a flick of his palm.
Xia Mu subconsciously reached out to catch the bamboo slip and the jade bottle, but did not check the content of the bamboo slip and the things contained in the jade bottle at the first time, but looked at the puppeteer with some confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, this mission requires the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist in a truly complete form, so I will hand over this notebook to you in advance, as for the things in the jade bottle, it is one of the treasures needed to cultivate the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, I hope that Brother Xia can use this thing to cultivate the third level of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist to a perfect state, so that he can be sure to break the ban in the Immortal Mansion." The puppeteer explained with a smile on his face.
"You're so relieved that I'll take these things? Maybe I'll turn around and run away with them. With a flip of his palm, he put away the bamboo slips and jade bottles, and Xia Mu looked at the puppeteer and said with a smile.
"I believe that with Brother Xia's intelligence, he will definitely be able to distinguish which is more important than the other, compared with the treasures in the Immortal Mansion, the value of this thing is a small head, presumably Brother Xia is not stupid enough to give up the opportunity to give up the real treasure for this little profit. Besides, if Brother Xia is confident that he can escape the pursuit of my Pure World Sect, then he can take something and leave. A cold glint flashed in the puppeteer's eyes, and the threat in his words was self-evident.
Hearing this, Xia Mu's eyes flashed and smiled: "I think I should be a smart person." ”
After saying this, Xia Mu glanced at the depths of the cave as if intentionally or unintentionally, and then raised the jade cup on the stone table and drank it all in one gulp, before standing up from the stone chair and turning around and leaving the cave.
After Xia Mu left the cave, he didn't go far, but reopened a simple temporary shelter on the nearby mountain, which was actually a cave.
Walking into the cave, I saw that he kept pinching the trick with both hands, and one after another the prohibitions flew out of his hands, and submerged into the cave wall in the cave, and the entrance of the cave was sealed by a layer of spiritual power enchantment laid by him, and after doing all this, Xia Mu walked to the depths of the cave and sat down cross-legged with peace of mind.
Immediately afterwards, with a palm of his hand, he took out the notebook and the jade bottle that the puppeteer had given him before, but Xia Mu did not open the jade bottle for the first time, but took a deep breath, and then slowly untied the seal on the bamboo slip and opened the bamboo slip.
Suddenly, the incomparably beautiful characters of the Immortal Ancient Period came into Xia Mu's eyes, attracting all his attention.
Time passed little by little.
Half an hour later, Xia Mu put down the bamboo slip in his hand and thought about it with one hand dragging his chin.
There is a lot of content about the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist recorded in this bamboo slip, mainly because the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist corresponds to the eight Shinto monsters, so one by one elaborates, the space used is relatively large, plus there are some experiences of the predecessor in cultivating the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, as well as the improvements he made to the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist, all of which add up to nearly 10,000 words.
After reading it through, some of these unique insights into boxing made Xia Mu's eyes shine, and many details that he hadn't noticed before, and how to use them that he hadn't thought of, were all mentioned by the seniors one by one.
In particular, the improvements made by that senior to the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fist were definitely something that only a monk who stood at a high level could accomplish.
