Chapter 303: Return to Yunwu Mountain
Chapter 303: Return to Yunwu Mountain
The confluence of dragon and elephant, as the name suggests, is a combination of dragon and elephant as the main shapes, mixed with other shapes.
Use various shapes as lines to penetrate the dragon and elephant, thereby unleashing extremely powerful force.
"To enter this Dragon-Elephant Merge School, one must master at least twenty-six forms. The threshold is very high. No wonder none of my brothers have achieved perfection."
Li Yuan was flipping through the secret book.
Naturally, he fully meets the threshold for the merger of dragon and elephant. As he masters all eighty-seven forms, he can fully meet the entry requirements for most of the unique skills and even the magical skills.
Of course, except for some special skills and magical powers that require the "shape of heaven and earth".
"Besides dragons and elephants, the required forms are mostly bears and tigers. This is a form-changing combination that discards everything else and only takes strength."
After reading so many books and learning so many martial arts for so many years, Li Yuan has a broad vision and can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of the shape-changing combination.
The Thunder Dragon of Beasts is inclusive and is a shape-changing combination that combines speed, defense, strength, and instantaneous burst.
Therefore, when you first get started, it cannot be compared with the form-changing combination of transformation.
For example, the 'Huntian Hammer Phase' on the Dragon-Tiger Huntian Hammer and the 'Vajra Phase' on the Dragon Zen Vajra Sutra focus on instantaneous burst and defense.
The confluence of the dragon and the elephant is pure power, completely discarding everything else, which is quite unconventional.
"The Thunder Dragon of Beasts, the Dragon-Elephant Merge, the Heaven Hammer, the Diamond Form, the Fighting Hammer..."
Closing the book, Li Yuan's mind wandered:
"Use the Thunder Dragon as the spine, the Dragon and Elephant as the bones, and the Diamond and the Universe as the meridians to fill in all shapes..."
Every martial art has its own form. The difference between the lower, middle, and higher secret skills, unique skills, and quasi-divine skills lies only in the "change of form and combination".
Li Yuan closed his eyes, and all the martial arts he had learned flashed through his mind and eyes. He felt his thoughts colliding violently.
With the blessing of the eternal talent, he sorted out all these complicated thoughts and various martial arts, and finally turned them into one thought:
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun!"
Black whale, why should we limit ourselves to whales?
When it falls, it becomes a giant whale; when it soars, it becomes a giant bird; when it flies into the clouds, it becomes a dragon; when it flies into the mountains, it becomes a tiger; when it flies into the rain, it becomes thunder!
"The benefits of controlling the Black Whale Hammer!"
Once again, Master Li Dao truly felt the changes. His brain worked much better than before, especially when it came to spiritual practice.
"start!"
Li Yuan rubbed his hands together, swallowed another energy-enhancing pill, picked up the hammer and went out to the yard.
Huhu~
Li Yuan stood holding the hammer and closed his eyes slightly.
His movements were very slow, just a casual stance, but his muscles, bones, and skin were all vibrating and rhythmically exercising more intensely than any other boxing routine.
His internal energy was surging, his blood was boiling, and as the power of the Qi-boosting pill spread, it was like a battlefield where a fierce battle was taking place.
The surging internal energy circulates through the twenty-six meridians, staying only in the Dantian and the "acupoints" of the feet.
It spreads to the limbs and bones, and even more finely divided places, forging new energy channels.
"The thirty-six energy channels can already cover the internal organs and meridians, and reach all the pores of the body..."
This thought flashed through Li Yuan’s mind.
He moved with the hammer in his hand, using standing posture to speed up the circulation of his internal energy.
As he paced, his bones and tendons were vibrating. This was the thundering sound of tigers and leopards. With every move he made, his martial arts changed and flowed naturally.
Fighting Hammer, Ancient Elephant Hammer, Tiger-Shaped Divine, Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada...
All the martial arts that he had cultivated to the level of perfection, including the strikes, fists, palm strikes, and light footwork, can be seen in his practice.
Walking, sitting and lying are all achievements; every move is Zen.
When practicing, Li Yuan was like a walking martial arts library. Even among the six true disciples and nine hall masters of Longhu Temple, few of them knew more martial arts than him.
This is also the foundation.
……
"No fight, no fight."
In the small temple opposite, Jin Shengwu waved his hands, his face full of fatigue:
"Wan Zhuliu's 'Subduing Demon Dragon God' is truly incredible. Even if my 'Yellow Dragon Temple' is twice as powerful, it cannot defeat him."
Jin Shengwu, who had been tough all his life, shook his head, looking quite desolate:
"I can't save you anymore."
He had experienced the same scene more than forty years ago, but at that time he felt that he still had a chance of winning. At least at the Grandmaster level, if he tried his best, he might be able to defeat Wan Zhuliu.
For this reason, he had been in seclusion for more than 40 years, asking himself if his martial arts could be improved. He thought he could not win and there was a possibility that they would both perish. Who would have expected...
"I appreciate your kindness, brother."
Long Xixiang was also silent. He was still recalling the peak confrontation between the two in the divine realm. It took him a while to come back to his senses:
"Wan Zhuliu's 'Subduing Demons Dragon God' is no less than the 'Dragon Elephant Diamond Heaven' and 'Dragon and Tiger Mysterious Sutra' that were personally passed down by the ancestors and perfected by the ancestors of all generations, and even the 'Health Preserving Pure Yang' created by the two ancestors in imitation of the Health Preserving Furnace..."
“Maybe, even better.”
Jin Shengwu struggled to stand up, but with his martial arts skills he almost couldn't stand. After more than twenty days of sleepless nights and fighting thousands of battles, even he could not bear it.
"I fought him for a hundred and fifty moves and we were evenly matched. But once he used his Demon Subduing Dragon God Form, I was defeated in at most ten moves."
Jin Shengwu frowned, feeling a little depressed.
After thousands of fierce battles and thousands of defeats, even though he had a strong character, he couldn't help but feel shocked and desperate. In a battle of the same level, he could not defeat Wan Zhuliu.
If he can't do it now, who else in the world can?
"The Demon Subduing Dragon Divine Sword is the best killing weapon in the world. Although the Health Preserving Furnace is also a Heavenly Destiny Mystical Weapon, it has no offensive or defensive capabilities. Perhaps there is a difference in appearance?"
Long Xixiang was also very tired and struggled to stand up.
"Ugh."
Jin Shengwu sighed, but quickly adjusted himself, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Long Xixiang was somewhat dim.
He had seen this scene more than once.
Wan Zhuliu uses people to support his sword. Over the past hundred years, all those who have died at his hands were those who were tortured by the sword for half their lives and died unwillingly.
In fact, even now, Long Xixiang is not the only one who is suffering from the torture of the "Demon Subduing Sword" and is in the dilemma of life and death.
"I also want to thank you for fighting with all your might, brother. After observing his swordsmanship, I think I might have a chance of winning."
Long Xixiang took a pill, paced a few steps, and regained his spirit:
"Wan Zhuliu's sword intent has tortured me for more than forty years, but it has also tempered me for more than forty years. Only by breaking through this calamity..."
"A land immortal?"
Jin Shengwu shook his head, not optimistic, and patted his shoulder:
"I can still hold on for a few more years, and you can probably hold on for the same amount of time. Well, if you can do this, I will die with a smile on my face. If not, it will be a good thing for you and I to go together."
"..."
Jin Shengwu laughed loudly, sweeping away his previous dejection. However, Long Xixiang did not laugh, and was more solemn than ever:
"Just waiting for that furnace of 'Dragon Tiger Health Pill'."
Jin Shengwu's smile faded. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he just waved his hand:
"You take a rest, I won't disturb you anymore."
"It's been the last one or two years, why do you need to rest?"
Long Xixiang yawned. He was very sleepy, but he was not ready to sleep. Once he fell asleep, all the efforts made by Jin Shengwu in the past few days would be in vain, and he would definitely forget everything.
"what ever."
Jin Shengwu did not persuade him: "If you don't want to rest, then that's just right. Take me to see your senior brother. We have to find the right person to entrust the orphan to."
"I already know how to arrange things for Huanglong Villa, so there's no need to ask."
Long Xixiang pushed open the temple door and yawned:
"In the last two years, I should also fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher... Hmm?!"
"Ok?"
As soon as Long Xixiang stopped talking, Jin Shengwu looked up at the right time. More than ten feet away, there was a small fenced courtyard opposite him. Inside the courtyard, a young man in a robe was practicing standing meditation.
"This boy?"
Jin Shengwu's eyelids twitched. With just this quick glance, he saw traces of at least thirty martial arts on him:
"You taught me all these various martial arts?" "Really?"
Long Xixiang fell into deep thought. How could he remember so much? It was already a good memory for him to recognize that the person was his own disciple.
"This boy's talent is more amazing than I expected. With so many martial arts skills, I'm afraid he has mastered at least forty martial arts?"
Jin Shengwu stroked his long beard and narrowed his eyes: "At this age, with this achievement..."
Jin Shengwu was somewhat shocked.
He didn't dare to look at him too closely when he first met him, but now that he was concentrating and sensing him, he was shocked to find that this boy's talent was much better than he had expected.
Well, even if this isn't an eternal talent, I'm afraid it's pretty close to it?
"……Um."
Long Xixiang was also looking at him. He did not have a deep impression. The only thing he remembered about Li Yuan was that there was a portrait of him hanging in the room, and he could only speak vaguely when he heard the praises.
"He hasn't practiced dirty yet, is that what you mean?"
Jin Shengwu suddenly asked.
"Should be, shouldn't it?"
Long Xixiang was also a little uncertain. At this moment, he could clearly sense the internal energy surging in Li Yuan's body, which had already met the conditions for "internal energy becoming true."
Moreover, this hammer technique seems a bit too skilled. His skill in the Dragon-Tiger Hun Tian Hammer must have reached the fourth or fifth level.
"Good seedling, good seedling, stronger than I was in my youth, all the skills are integrated, very good, very good."
Jin Shengwu pinched his long beard, his eyes were bright:
"Wan Zhuliu cultivates his sword with people, and his sword intent varies from person to person... If he only has the Meridian Opening Cultivation, how powerful can his Demon Subduing Dragon God Form still be?"
As soon as he thought of this, Jin Shengwu's eyes changed when he looked at Long Xixiang:
"You think so too?"
When he met Li Yuan before, he guessed that Long Xixiang might have plans in this regard.
He had also heard about the story of a talented disciple removing Wan Zhuliu's sword intent.
But no one succeeded, because Wan Zhuliu was already famous throughout the world when he was young and had won the Universiade championship.
At the age of twenty, he was famous and had surpassed his contemporaries, vying for the title of the best in all martial arts performances. However, among those who were defeated by him in that generation, there were many now-famous masters.
Who in the world today can claim to be better than Wan Zhuliu when he was young?
He didn't think so before, but after fighting thousands of battles, he felt that it might not be impossible. Without the Demon-Subduing Dragon God, there might be a chance of winning?
"Ok?"
Long Xixiang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
'Did I plan this?'
He was somewhat shocked, and if Jin Shengwu had not been beside him, he would have wanted to go back and look through his own records.
"So talented, so young..."
Looking at Li Yuan who was practicing standing meditation in the small courtyard with a fence, Jin Shengwu paced back and forth with his mind distracted.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that if a Grand Master or Grand Master could not defeat a Master of the same level, it did not necessarily mean that he could not defeat a Master by exchanging blood or opening up meridians.
After all, due to the limitations of his cultivation level, the Demon-Subduing Dragon God Form is at most a rudimentary form. Without true energy, it is impossible to activate the complete Dragon God Form.
only……
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Thinking of this, Jin Shengwu couldn't help but sigh and even wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet.
"Um……"
Long Xixiang didn't think as much as he thought. He was still wondering whether he really had similar thoughts.
"How many years can you last?"
Jin Shengwu suddenly asked.
Long Xixiang was startled and replied, "It should be two years."
"Two years is too short."
Jin Shengwu immediately shook his head.
If he had ten or twenty years of hard training from the Dragon and Tiger Temple, he felt that this kid might have the potential to compete with Wan Zhuliu at the Tongmai level.
But two years...
"Even if he is a god reborn, I'm afraid it's impossible."
Jin Shengwu was filled with regret. He turned around and left. The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. It would be better if he had not seen it.
"The form of the demon-suppressing dragon god."
Long Xixiang's expression remained unchanged. He had already made up his mind to break down before building up, and he did not want to rely on his own disciples, so there was naturally no question of disappointment.
However, he still stopped outside the temple gate and looked at Li Yuan who was practicing.
……
"call!"
The wind blew rapidly in the courtyard. Li Yuan did not stop until the effect of a Qi-boosting pill was exhausted. When he opened his eyes, he saw Long Xixiang walking slowly towards him under the moonlight.
"Master."
Li Yuan bowed and saluted.
"Have you entered the Dragon-Elephant Merge?"
Long Xixiang came to the small fenced courtyard and looked at his disciple. Although he did not have a very clear memory of him, he was still his disciple after all.
"Getting started."
Li Yuan nodded and took a step back.
Internal energy like a tide surged out from his body, like gas and smoke, slowly transforming into a blurry dragon and an elephant, circling and chasing each other.
"not bad."
Long Xixiang nodded and didn't say much, but explained to him the secret of 'Dragon-Elephant Convergence' and the experience he had in creating this quasi-divine level shape-changing combination.
Li Yuan brought a chair for him to sit down, and he listened attentively. This was of great benefit to his comprehension of the Mysterious Whale Diagram.
"Combining various forms to form a spirit, the combination of changing forms determines the potential after entering the Tao. Going slow and being careful will not go wrong."
It was late at night when Long Xixiang just got up.
Li Yuan sent him out of the small temple, and looking at his slightly thin back, he began to think.
"Who left the wound on the old dragon's body? If his divine realm was also damaged..."
After closing the temple door, Li Yuan pondered.
He had this thought before, and last time he asked about the damage to the old dragon head's divine realm, but he was kicked out before he could ask a few questions.
But he still thought about it in his heart.
"With the martial arts skills of the old dragon head back then, I'm afraid only a land immortal could hurt him to this extent, right?"
After returning to the house, Li Yuan washed himself, sat cross-legged and continued practicing.
In the second half of the night, a familiar wave was heard.
"Master of Yunwu Mountain?"
Half asleep and half awake, Li Yuan felt a stir in his heart and followed the familiar waves into the divine realm.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a voice coming from the misty mountains:
"what?!"
