Chapter 318: Dragon Xi Xiang Cultist

Huhu~
On the cliff, the cold wind was howling.

Li Yuan's heart trembled. Even through the hundreds of meters long iron chain and mist, he could still feel the sharpness that was reaching his forehead, domineering and ferocious.

He was very familiar with this knife.

Li Yuan recognized it at the first sight. This sword intent and the one in the bronze divine realm came from the same source.

"This knife..."

Li Yuan looked at Long Xixiang under the green pine.

Under the old tree, Long Xixiang sat cross-legged in silence, looking at the fierce knife intent on the other side of the iron chain:
"This is Wan Zhuliu's Demon Subduing Dragon Divine Sword Intention."

The sword intent of the demon-slaying dragon god!
Wan Zhuliu, the number one grandmaster on the God List, the Martial Lord who has terrorized the world for decades, the pillar of luck, the number one master in the world...

Li Yuan's mind buzzed, and a large amount of information popped up.

He had heard countless legends about the King of Zhenwu. When he was ravaged by the Sword Master in the Bronze Tower Divine Realm before, he once wondered whether the Sword Master was the unrivaled leader of the sword art in the world.

But guesses are just guesses. When he heard what Long Xixiang said, he was still a little confused. His mind was in a mess, with all kinds of distracting thoughts flying around.

"Really Wan Zhuliu?!"

Li Yuan suddenly felt his mouth dry. This was the Bronze Tower Divine Realm as well.

What is the identity of the bronze tower master?
"Yes."

Long Xixiang nodded. The old monk, who usually talked a lot, seemed a little taciturn at this moment.

"This……"

Li Yuan was a little confused, but he also knew the reason why Lao Longtou brought him to this divine realm.

Draw the knife.

"More than forty years ago, I traveled to the Divine Capital with my good friend. Because of something, I was affected and was slashed by the sword of the Zhenwu King Wan Zhuliu..."

Without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, Long Xixiang spoke softly, talking about the origin of the sword intent, but just downplayed "something".

"That good friend is Wang Wenyuan..."

Li Yuan recalled the letter from Wang Wenyuan, and his heart moved, and he had some guesses.

There are not many things in this world that can make Wan Zhuliu take action.

And more than forty years ago, such a major event happened in the imperial capital. A master from the Zhaixing Tower stabbed the king and killed the previous Emperor Yun in the palace...

"Could it be that Old Dragon Head was also involved in the assassination?"

Li Yuan was somewhat worried.

Who is Wang Wenyuan?

The number one assassin of Zhaixing Tower, traveled with the king to the capital when he was assassinating the king, and was injured by Wan Zhuliu's sword intent... There is no such coincidence.

He doubted whether Lao Longtou had also joined Zhaixing Tower.

"...Wan Zhuliu's martial arts are close to that of a god or demon. This sword cannot be driven away or chased away. For more than forty years after he was caught in this disaster, he has always been stuck here."

Long Xixiang was talking about ancient times, and paused slightly at this point:
"The purpose of your coming here today is to remove this knife."

"Disciples must do their best!"

Li Yuan collected his thoughts, bowed in silence.

"Have a heart."

Long Xixiang's expression relaxed slightly, but he didn't hold out much hope in his heart. It wasn't that Li Yuan didn't have enough talent, but that Wan Zhuliu was too powerful.

For more than forty years, he fought with it day after day, thousands and tens of thousands of times, but until his divine realm was almost collapsed and shattered, he had not been able to win even a single move, let alone remove the sword intent.

"This knife..."

Li Yuan wanted to ask something, but Long Xixiang motioned him to sit down. He pondered for a moment and then talked about how to draw the sword.

This statement was exactly the same as what the bronze tower master said. Li Yuan sat quietly and listened.

"Wan Zhuliu, wielding the mysterious killing weapon 'Demon Subduing Dragon Divine Sword', is recognized by the martial arts world as the best in the world. His talent is so strong that it is unimaginable."

Long Xixiang did not urge Li Yuan to step forward, but instead told him some information about Wan Zhuliu, mainly his temperament, deeds, and his world-famous magical skills.

"Demon Subduing Heavenly Power, Dragon God Sword."

Li Yuan nodded. These two magical skills were very famous. He had heard of them many times in some books and even from storytellers.

"Wan Zhuliu possesses many unique skills, and the most famous ones are the two you mentioned. These are the skills he learned from the 'Demon Subduing Dragon Divine Sword'."

Long Xixiang continued to explain.

He had a deep understanding of these two magical skills. After thousands of battles, he asked himself that apart from those old guys who were severely injured by Wan Zhuliu like him and were barely alive, there were few who were more familiar with them than him.

The magical power gained from the Demon-Subduing Dragon Sword?
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he thought of his 'Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Diagram'. After completing the Meridians, he already had the foundation to comprehend the Mysterious Whale Diagram.

"His Dragon God Sword has nine moves. There aren't many moves, but the variations seem endless. Don't think about breaking his moves. No one in this world can break his moves with skills.
If you want to defeat him, you have to fight him head-on!"

Long Xixiang explained these two magical skills, most of which were his painful lessons.

"A head-on confrontation?"

Li Yuan listened attentively, comparing it with his previous experiences of being abused, and found that the old dragon head knew him very well and had obviously thought of a way to break his move.

“When Wan Zhuliu opened his meridians, he hadn’t yet cultivated the Dragon God Sword to the state of returning to its original state, but it’s definitely not something you can break.”

Li Yuan nodded repeatedly. He was very willing to listen to advice, mainly because he himself had suffered losses.

“Besides the Dragon God Sword, there is the Demon Subduing Heavenly Power. When Wan Zhuliu was at the stage of opening his meridians, he did not yet have the Unbreakable Heavenly Power, but his true energy had been condensed to the extreme. Ordinary true energy was like paper in front of him, and it would break if poked.”

Long Xixiang was much more attentive than the bronze tower master, and passed on his experiences one by one.

"Disciple understands."

After a long time, Li Yuan felt that his understanding of Wan Zhuliu had deepened a lot, and he was ready to give it a try. After he had mastered the art of opening up his meridians, he had never tried to draw a sword.

"Not urgent."

Long Xixiang stopped him: "Although you have reached the sixth floor of the Dragon Tiger Tower and are well versed in fighting, it is still not enough to challenge him."

Seeing Li Yuan eager to try, Long Xixiang shook his head inwardly.

He did not want Li Yuan to challenge him at this time, for fear of hurting his self-confidence. He spent the past few days reading through the diaries he had kept for decades without sleep.

I remembered that many years ago, Long Xinglie was also eager to try, but after the war, he was depressed for several years before he came out of the shadow.

"Disciple will try it first, it won't cause any trouble."

"No."

Long Xixiang flatly refused.

Li Yuan couldn't persuade him, so he had to sit down and listen to him continue.

"Wan Zhuliu reached the Grandmaster level sixty years ago. Even before that, he had already mastered hundreds of forms to outline his own awe-inspiring spiritual form, the 'Demon-Subduing Dragon God Form'."

"The appearance of the demon-suppressing dragon god?"

Li Yuan recalled the domineering dragon eyes he had caught a glimpse of during a previous fight.

"To transform all forms into one is called the form-changing combination, and to have both spirit and form is called the spiritual form. This is a method that can only be acquired after entering the Dao. The prototype of the spiritual form must be condensed in the divine realm."

Long Xixiang seemed to be trying to cram the subject, even talking about the state of mind after entering the Tao in advance.

Li Yuan was very excited after hearing this, and he did not think it was a case of forcing things. He did not miss this rare opportunity and asked about the secrets of the Grandmaster realm.

He had received answers to all his questions about refining the internal organs, refining the marrow and exchanging blood from the master of the bronze tower.

"When the Qi and blood are sufficient, strength is generated. When the strength is sufficient, internal Qi is generated. When the internal Qi is sufficient, it can be transformed into true Qi. When the Qi and the spirit are combined, it can be transformed into Gang, which can interact with the heaven and earth and absorb the power of the heaven and earth..." Long Xixiang tried to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible:
"The divine realm comes from visualization. Using the mind to touch the heaven and earth, imprinting a corner of the heaven and earth in the mind, this is the prototype of the 'divine realm'."

"The divine realm is the embodiment of the Grandmaster's merits and deeds. It contains all the essence, energy and spirit. It penetrates the wonders of yin and yang. The divine realm is formed by itself. After being baptized by the 'Earthly Evil' and the 'Heavenly Gang', it turns from virtual to real..."

"When the three elements of essence, energy and spirit are united into one, and then merged with the energy of heaven and earth, they can be combined into a spiritual form!"

Boom!

As he spoke, Long Xixiang pointed with his finger. Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the mountains and rivers shaking, the sea of ​​clouds surging, and a dark dragon that was several hundred meters long looming among them.

And under the cliff, the ground was shaking, as if an ancient giant elephant was roaring angrily, echoing the blue dragon in the distance.

"hold head high!"

"Roar!"

Above the solitary peak, clouds roll and unroll.

Li Yuan looked up and felt that the huge creature was like a dragon in mythology, circling the mountain. He could even hear the sound of its scales rubbing against the mountain wall.

"Is this the confluence of the dragon and the elephant?"

"Yes."

Long Xixiang pointed his finger again, and the shadow of the dragon elephant suddenly disappeared.

"The purpose of martial arts training is to strengthen the body, but human power has its limits. Even if one undergoes three transformations from qi and blood to form, changes all forms, and raises one's own limits to the highest point, there is still a limit."

Amid the rolling clouds and mist, Long Xixiang explained the mysteries of martial arts to his disciples:

"Shape-changing is the last, and perhaps the only, realm to raise one's own limits. Whether it's refining the internal organs or refining the marrow or exchanging blood, it's just a variety of means to push the body to this limit."

Li Yuan nodded.

He had a deep understanding of refining the internal organs and marrow, which mainly came from Old Han. What Old Longtou said was almost the same as what Old Han said.

“So, between changing one’s form and completing blood exchange, there are many cases of people fighting against opponents of higher levels and winning. Refining one’s internal organs and marrow is just a means to elevate oneself to the limit of the human body.”

As he spoke, Long Xixiang glanced at Li Yuan:
“Human power is limited, but the universe is infinite. Therefore, from seeking within oneself to seeking from the universe, this is also called entering the Tao, and is also called a master.”

"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts."

Li Yuan bowed.

"You are young and extremely talented, so you don't have to rush to break through. You should cherish the only chance to reach the limit of your human body before entering the Dao, but you don't have to be too persistent."

Long Xixiang said calmly:

“No matter how high the limit is, after exchanging blood, it is only the power of a dragon. Not to mention the Jiaolong, not to mention the Linglong, even if it is a Tianlong, what is it? Compared with the heaven, earth, and stars, it is still sand.”

"The disciple understands."

Li Yuan bowed and memorized all these words in his heart:
"Refine the organs, refine the marrow and exchange the blood, enter the yin and yang, the earthly evil and the heavenly evil..."

Li Yuan muttered to himself, and all the doubts in his heart were swept away. When he stood up, he looked towards the other end of the iron chain:

"Then disciple, go and give it a try?"

"you?"

Long Xixiang frowned slightly, thinking that he was a little impetuous. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand:
"No need to seek success, just treat it as a chance to hone your martial arts skills. Well, go ahead."

"Yes!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and Long Xixiang pointed his finger and created a heavy hammer.

Li Yuan mentioned it and stepped to the edge of the cliff. The view here was wide, with clouds and mist rolling. An iron chain stretched out for several hundred meters, and below was a thousand-foot cliff.

“…This environment is not good.”

Li Yuan looked down. Having lived on the ground for two lifetimes, he was indeed a little afraid of heights.

But he changed his mind and suppressed the slight tremor. After all, if he really fell, it would not have any impact.

Call ~
Li Yuan stepped lightly and landed on the iron chain. His martial arts skills were very good and the shaking of the iron chain had no effect on him.

He strode forward in the clouds and mist. After walking several hundred meters, the giant sword became clearer and clearer in his eyes. Before he reached the end, the familiar sword master, surrounded by divine light, was already walking slowly towards him.

"Wow~"

The sound came like a tide and a wave.

Zheng!
The next moment, the sword light cut through the clouds and mist, sweeping across a hundred meters.

"bring it on!"

Li Yuan stepped lightly on the iron chain, full of fighting spirit. Dozens of consecutive victories in the Dragon and Tiger Tower gave him a surge of confidence. With each step, the heavy hammer cut through the sky like a thunderbolt.

"Ok?"

Under the green pine trees, Long Xixiang looked up and saw the clouds and mist being torn apart, as if they were crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Li Yuan leaped up, and the hammer light in his palm cut through the ten-foot-high sky like thunder, as if he was holding a violent thunder dragon. His speed and strength increased a lot compared to when he was in the Dragon and Tiger Tower.

"This kid..."

Long Xixiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the figures colliding on the iron chains:
"His understanding is too great!"

Long Xixiang was shocked, not only by Li Yuan's sudden increase in strength and speed, but also by the fact that he performed so skillfully, as if he had fought with Wan Zhuliu dozens or even hundreds of times.

Just by listening to what I said roughly once, you can get to this point?

Zhengzhengzheng!
There was a loud sound of metal clashing against metal.

After ten moves, Long Xixiang was somewhat moved. After thirty moves, he could no longer sit still. When a thunderous roar sounded, he suddenly stood up:
"Sixty knives?!"

Six years ago, Long Xinglie fought dozens of battles and only took more than sixty blows.

"This boy!"

Long Xixiang subconsciously approached the iron chain, and only reacted when he sensed the buzzing of the giant sword on the opposite side. He took a few steps back to avoid attracting the Tiangang-level Wan Zhuliu.

"Cool!"

On the iron chain, Li Yuan moved on the wind, showing amazing lightness skills, and his long hammer flew in the clouds like a blue dragon.

Compared to last time, he has made amazing progress.

Thirty-six energy channels ran through his body, and each of his moves was a little faster than before. Just this little bit was enough to greatly reduce his stress.

He swung sixty strikes in total without even activating any of his weapons, yet he felt like he was at ease.

Zheng!
But the next moment, the joy in his heart was destroyed by a knife.

The sword that was strong enough to suppress the five senses came again. Li Yuan used his hammer to block it, but he was nearly beheaded by the sword. It was the Thunder Dragon transformed from his true energy that blocked half of the sword for him.

"There is no way to solve this knife."

Li Yuan retreated violently, with blue-black thunder dragons surrounding him, blessing him and blocking the omnipresent sword energy.

boom!
After a few more slashes, Li Yuan had to activate six weapons boots including the Thunder Dragon Juntian Hammer. With the blessing of the magic weapons, he rushed forward fiercely.

"Roar!"

At a certain moment, on the solitary peak, Long Xixiang heard a violent dragon roar, and Li Yuan's body exploded.

"hold head high!"

The dragon roars loudly.

On the lonely peak, Long Xixiang's old face was flushed, as if he had drunk a jar of the strongest immortal wine:
"One hundred knives!"
