Chapter 359: The Secret of the Sky River, Life-Saving Grace
Chapter 359: The Secret of the Sky River, Life-Saving Grace
Yan Wushuang felt a little regretful.
Zheng Fa, Sister Zhang and others formed a circle and left a space for them. He then stood on the space in the circle, looking just like the street performers he had seen.
What's more, he was selling the sect's most precious secret technique.
He took a deep breath, put aside all the random thoughts in his mind, pointed his finger at the broadsword, and said, "This is the sword energy thunder sound!"
Zheng Fa used his Dongxu Spirit Eye, with silver light flickering in his pupils. He concentrated even more on Yan Wushuang's words, watching him demonstrate the awe-inspiring Tianhe swordsmanship.
Yan Wushuang's natal flying sword was touched by him, and the sword body made a slight humming sound and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone!
In an instant, silently and without a trace!
Even with the help of the Dongxu Spirit Eye, Zheng Fa could only see a fleeting trace of spiritual energy.
"boom!"
A thunderous sound rang out in the sky, and everyone looked up. Yan Wushuang's flying sword had already crossed the sky, leaving a long white trail behind the hilt.
At the end of the track is a magnificent mushroom cloud.
There were many exclamations heard from the nine islands of Tiangong.
"This……"
This looks familiar!
Generally speaking, he calls this thing a missile.
Zheng Fa watched the broadsword fall into Yan Wushuang's hands and was surprised: Xuanwei's black technology - a recoverable missile?
He put aside all the conjectures in his mind and first looked at Xiao Yuying who was standing beside him. Xiao Yuying seemed to know what he was going to ask: "There are traces of thunder magic, so the thunder should have the ability to kill evil."
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes also glowed with silver light, and she added: "It also contains certain fire magic."
Uncle Pang nodded slowly: "It's a bit like a combination of several spells."
He has been studying immortal formations with the old man, and has also done a deep study on the method of connecting talismans. When he said this, his expression was very determined.
"In that case, our previous guess was too superficial." Zheng Fa pondered slowly and said, "Tianhe Sword Dao is more complicated than we imagined."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, as if in agreement, and added: "After all, he is Venerable Tianhe."
Yes, he is Venerable Tianhe after all.
They had many speculations about the sword energy and thunder sound before.
For example, like the Thunder Stone, it is the Five Elements Symbols that produce particle flows and vibrate the air.
For example, if the flying sword is too fast, it will produce a sonic boom.
Or maybe it's a kind of thunder magic performed with a magic sword.
But Yan Wushuang's demonstration made them understand what Reverend Tianhe was doing. He wanted it all!
Under Yan Wushuang's demonstration, the sword energy and thunder sound were clearly divided into three stages:
The first is the flying speed of the flying sword itself, which is extremely fast and difficult to guard against.
The second part is the changes inside the flying sword, probably due to the effect of the Five Elements Symbols. The particle structure inside it transforms rapidly, which in turn produces a rapid particle flow: the power of this explosion combined with the speed of the flying sword makes it even more difficult to defend against, and the lethality can be imagined.
The third part is the sound produced by the explosion, which is the so-called thunder sound.
"Venerable Tianhe is a frugal person." Uncle Pang sighed, "He doesn't waste any spiritual energy."
This is true.
Yan Wushuang's sword energy and thunder sound actually made no sound at the beginning, which means that Venerable Tianhe had a way to cover up the sound.
The subsequent thunder sounds are actually used to intimidate the enemy or even kill demons.
In other words, the sword energy and thunder sound of Venerable Tianhe was created by creating an explosion through the rapid particle flow, and he also combined the explosion sound with the thunder method, recycling it for reuse, giving the sword method an additional layer of deterrent power.
In the case of modern missiles, even the sonic boom has to have some special effects.
It is really very economical, or rather, it shows the ingenuity of this method.
Seeing Yan Wushuang coming over, Zheng Fa said, "Frugality is a good thing. This sword energy thunder sound uses the least amount of spiritual power to produce the greatest lethality."
"Venerable Tianhe's design is indeed close to perfection."
Yan Wushuang couldn't help but reveal some pride on his face.
Even performing arts has become more exciting!
"This is sword energy turning into rainbow!"
He shouted loudly, put in all his effort, and became one with the sword, and a sword rainbow shot out into the distance.
The sword rainbow traveled a thousand miles in an instant and headed straight for a piece of...turtle shell that everyone had prepared long ago.
This tortoise shell was left behind by the previous incarnation of the god. It is extremely hard. Although the spiritual power in it has disappeared after his death, it is still impossible for an ordinary cultivator to break it.
Madam Xuanhua has always coveted this thing, and seems to be planning to use it to practice a defensive magic weapon.
Yan Wushuang's sword lightly passed over it, and a shallow white gap appeared on the extremely hard tortoise shell.
Madam Xuanhua flew over quickly, reached out and touched the turtle shell, with a look of heartache on her face.
Zheng Fa and others also stepped forward to look at the scars on the tortoise shell and were all very surprised - no matter how powerful this incarnation of the spirit remains, its defensive power is definitely comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul magic weapon.
It is truly amazing that Yan Wushuang, a golden elixir, can leave a mark with just one sword.
"The sword energy has a thunderous sound, and the sword energy turns into a rainbow of subtlety."
Senior Sister Zhang directly expressed Zheng Fa’s thoughts.
Xiao Yuying added: "This move is closer to thunder magic, very similar to the thing you mentioned before...laser."
Zheng Fa pondered in his heart. Compared with the Sword Qi Thunder Sound which looked very powerful, the Sword Qi Turning into Rainbow was another style - silent and without any trace, but the power was concentrated at one point, and it even had a bit of the meaning of high-energy laser cutting.
Its killing power is actually greater than that of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound.
"Not only that." Uncle Pang said, "This flying sword seems to have turned into an air shield, wrapping Yan Wushuang, not only can it carry him flying, but also protect him from magic damage."
Yan Wushuang also flew back. After hearing this, he said half boastfully and half affirmatively: "Sword Qi Transforming into Rainbow is the most popular flying method in our sect."
"The sword is extremely sharp and has the ability to protect you. No one can stop it."
After saying that, he looked at Zheng Fa expectantly: "How is it, did you figure out anything?"
Zheng Fa frowned and said softly, "The only thing that can be seen is that when Venerable Tianhe designed these methods, he thought very carefully."
Whether it is the use of Leiyin or relying on the sword rainbow's ability to kill the enemy to protect himself, these methods of Venerable Tianhe can be said to be perfect.
Before, Zheng Fa was thinking that this method also had sound and light effects, was it because Venerable Tianhe wanted to show off...
Now it seems that it is quite classy, but also very practical.
"In fact, one thing has been confirmed." Senior Sister Zhang said: "This method involves the transformation of the spiritual weapon's form."
Zheng Fa also nodded. Although there was not much that could be seen, this was very obvious - whether it was the final explosion and recovery of the sword energy and thunder sound, or the gas shield in the sword energy turning into a rainbow, they were all changes in form visible to the naked eye.
Yan Wushuang's demonstration now actually partially verified their previous ideas. What they didn't expect was that the sword technique designed by Venerable Tianhe was so meticulous.
After all, what you learn from books is always superficial.
Seeing it for themselves, or experimenting, would refine their ideas.
"Fairy Xiao, do you remember the changes in the thunder technique just now?"
Xiao Yuying nodded.
Zheng Fa looked at Uncle Pang again, and Uncle Pang nodded and said, "I also wrote down the changes in the spiritual energy."
After they sorted out the data, they all looked at Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth, held the broadsword in his right hand and stretched it forward, saying, "You want to take my Wushuang sword... it won't hurt anything, right?"
Unparalleled sword?
From this name, Zheng Fa could feel Yan Wushuang's ambition.
Seeing his uneasy expression, Zheng Fa smiled and explained, "Brother Yan, don't worry. I won't touch your Wushuang Sword, so you just hold it."
Yan Wushuang smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said happily, "Is this okay?"
"It has no impact."
"That would be best, that would be best... huh?"
As he spoke, a ray of five-element spiritual light burst out from Zheng Fa's hand and landed on the Wushuang Sword.
The Wushuang Sword jumped, and Yan Wushuang hurriedly grasped his own flying sword. He looked at Zheng Fa, his eyes slowly fell on the Wushuang Sword, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared bit by bit.
"...Brother Yan?"
Seeing that his face was becoming increasingly sad, Zheng Fa asked with concern and curiosity.
“Just now, the Wushuang Sword… even though it was in my hand, but…” Yan Wushuang raised his head, his eyes full of resentment and confusion, “I know that it doesn’t recognize me. Not only does it not recognize me, it also wants to pounce on you…”
"..."
Zheng Fa was speechless.
"It's better not to let me have it. That way, I won't know..."
Yan Wushuang's tone was so sad that Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
When he turned around, he saw Uncle Pang and the others quietly walked two steps away, and the expressions they looked at him were indescribable.
The Blood River Patriarch nodded continuously. He glanced at the flying sword under his feet and felt that he and Yan Wushuang had the same feelings - that day, he was hiding well, and his natal flying sword, which had accompanied him day and night and entrusted his life to him, just kicked him out.
That feeling... He had never felt so wronged in all his years in the Demon Sect!
"Ahem... this is all for research!"
Yan Wushuang raised his head suddenly, as if unwilling to give up, and asked him: "What did you find?"
"I discovered..." Zheng Fa sighed and said, "I discovered that I am a fool!"
Zheng Fa's words made everyone look over, wondering why he said that.
"I have been wondering why multiple Five Elements Symbols and atoms can combine, but I have never figured out how they can combine. I did not expect that multiple Five Elements Symbols can combine in the first place!"
Senior Sister Zhang was startled, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face: "Five Elements Ring?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly. He looked at the Feixian Sword and explained, "In Brother Yan's flying sword, I found a composite symbol. It is composed of the Fire Symbol, the Earth Symbol, and the Gold Symbol."
"..."
"Fire creates earth, earth creates gold... this is the order in which the five elements combine!"
Except for Yan Wushuang, everyone else understood at this time - everyone in the Nine Mountains Realm had studied "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans", and the perfected "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans" included the concept of the Five Elements Sub-Talisman Rings.
"You mean, the five elements are combined together to surround the atoms?"
Senior Sister Zhang was a little confused.
"Yes, that's probably what Venerable Tianhe was thinking. His method of combining is different from ours, but the principle should be similar."
When Zheng Fa was establishing the foundation of Taoism, the Five Elements Symbol Ring had a Möbius double-sided mirror structure.
Senior Sister Zhang’s is simpler, just a headband.
Venerable Tianhe seems different.
From the perspective of Zheng Fa's innate supernatural powers, Zheng Fa's five-element ring structure is the most perfect.
"The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans..." Uncle Pang suddenly sighed, "Nephew Zhang, I was probably wrong back then. The method you perfected actually points directly to the Great Dao!"
Senior Sister Zhang was still in a daze, and she didn't seem to expect that after all the twists and turns, she actually came back to this technique. Senior Uncle Pang was still praising: "This is the only technique, Junior Brother Zhang, your name will probably be remembered for generations to come."
Senior Sister Zhang suddenly woke up, turned her head and looked at Zheng Fa and smiled: "No, the concept of the Talisman Foundation Building Method was proposed by the founder. I perfected the most basic ones, and Zheng Fa was the one who pushed it to perfection."
"The ones who will be remembered for eternity are Jiushan, Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi."
Uncle Pang nodded, thinking that this was a good idea, but the next moment he felt something was wrong - Jiushan Zhengfa and Zhang Wuyi... How come Uncle Zhang pronounced the names of these three people as if they were two people?
"Brother Yan, is it divided into three steps for people from your Tianhe Sect to refine their natal flying swords?"
Zheng Fa suddenly asked Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang was stunned and nodded slightly.
"The first step... is to cultivate true fire?"
"..."
Yan Wushuang looked a little frightened. He stared at Zheng Fa without saying a word, but everyone knew that Zheng Fa was right.
"The first step is to combine the Fire Element Talisman and the particles?" Senior Sister Zhang also understood.
"Yes, from the perspective of the Five Elements, there are Fire Element Symbols, Earth Element Symbols, and finally Gold Element Symbols." Zheng Fa asked again, "In order to have an Earth Element Symbol, in addition to the skills, you can also... collect some spiritual ore? Brother Yan, do you want to use real fire to refine the spiritual ore in the second step?"
Yan Wushuang took two deep breaths, his expression collapsed: "Grandmaster, I didn't say a word!"
He seemed to have given up, and said dejectedly: "The Tianhe Sect practices swordsmanship by first collecting the spiritual fire of heaven and earth into the body, then collecting spiritual ore, and finally refining a life-defining flying sword."
Madam Xuanhua frowned and said, "Isn't this the process of Xuanwei refining weapons?"
"Yes..." Zheng Fa sighed again at this time, "Everyone refines weapons in this way, but only Venerable Tianhe went a step further and introduced the method of combining the three sons of talismans, and later there was the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir Method."
"You mean, Venerable Tianhe first developed the current Tianhe Sect's weapon refining method from weapon refining, and later perfected it into the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Method?"
Uncle Pang was stunned.
Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "I just think there is such a possibility. A method naturally does not appear out of thin air."
"Now think back to refining the sword into thread and turning the sword into thousands. Putting aside the refining of the sword into thread, the difficulty of turning the sword into thousands actually lies in... the Wood Element Sub-Character should be the last sub-charm combined in this order."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slowly: "Gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood. Therefore, if you don't comprehend the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method, it is impossible to refine the sword into thousands."
Zheng Fa said sincerely, "To be able to create this kind of technique, Venerable Tianhe... is indeed a genius, the strongest in the world."
According to his speculation, Venerable Tianhe had comprehended the sword-refining method of the Tianhe School from the method of refining weapons. The power of this technique can be seen from the current status of the Tianhe School.
Not only that, Reverend Tianhe also created the Tianhe Sword Art. Judging from the perfection of the sword energy thunder sound and the sword energy turning into rainbow, this sword art is also extremely perfect.
Not to mention the subsequent Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method, which can be said to be the most powerful golden elixir method.
From these three complementary secret techniques, Zheng Fa could see the ultimate talent of Venerable Tianhe.
Yan Wushuang was beside them, listening to Zheng Fa praising his own ancestor, but his expression was complicated.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at him, and heard him mutter: "No matter how powerful you are, didn't you figure it out in a moment?"
"You have figured out the secret method of my Tianhe sect that has been lost for so many years in such a short time..." He gently stroked the Wushuang Sword, with a look of relief on his face, "This... is worth it."
"..."
"Creation and reproduction are different..." Zheng Fa shook his head. He knew that reverse research and development was much simpler. He added, "And now we can only say that the principle has been determined... After that, we will continue the experiment according to the ideas of the Golden Elixir Project."
He looked at Madam Xuanhua. After all, this thing could actually be said to be an extension of the Golden Elixir Project.
Madam Xuanhua nodded slightly, her face showing both excitement and embarrassment.
What’s exciting is that they are now reproducing the most powerful skills of Reverend Tianhe!
The difficulty was that she only had a vague idea of how to conduct the experiment.
……
Zheng Fa and his friends were so busy studying Tianhe Sword Art and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Technique that they unconsciously forgot about other people.
But the Jiushan Sect can forget others, but others cannot forget them.
Zheng Fa was receiving the visiting Master Cheng Kong on Tiangong Island. He was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Master, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Master Chengkong first glanced at the people around Zheng Fa, and his gaze paused for a moment on the faces of Patriarch Xuehe and Jiao Wuji, with a look of surprise on his face - he had always been wondering what hidden means the Jiushan Sect had and how they could have killed two demon gods.
But now that I have come to the Nine Mountains Realm, I realize that no matter what the Nine Mountains Sect’s hidden means are, their surface strength is definitely not the same as before!
Zhang Wuyi, Zheng Fa, the Blood River Patriarch and Jiao Wuji are almost equivalent to four gods.
After the battle with the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the strength of the Jiushan Sect at least doubled!
Although it is still not as good as the Five Xuanwei Sects, but under the Five Xuanwei Sects, Jiushan Sect is definitely the leader now, and can even be directly called the Sixth Xuanwei Sect!
He took a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to Zheng Fa and said, "I'm here to thank you."
Zheng Fa was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
Master Chengkong then talked about the Seven Dragons Sea Formation, and then said, "If it weren't for the Nine Mountains Sect, I'm afraid we would have no choice but to wait for death. The Nine Mountains Sect saved my life..."
His expression was sincere, and the meaning of his words was clear:
The first time, although Zheng Fa had the merit of delivering the message, his main force was still in the air.
In the second six-pronged attack on Chenjun, Zheng Fa again had the merit of capturing the flag, but it could also be said to be a collaboration among multiple parties.
Since everyone has contributed, it is just a matter of how much credit one has contributed.
Only this time, they actually did nothing, and it was Jiushan Sect that saved the situation. This was not a merit, but a favor, a life-saving favor!
He took out a bunch of jade bottles from his storage bag and said, "I cannot express my gratitude for saving my life. Here are some Supreme Dao elixirs. In addition to what I have accumulated over the years, there are also some given by Master Mingde... Although it is not even one tenth of what the Nine Mountains Sect has done for me, it is still a token of my gratitude."
At one side, Uncle Pang looked at the jade bottle in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional.
Before, when Master Chengkong distributed the spoils in the Tongming Mountain Hall, it was actually a reward based on merit. Since it was a reward for merit, Master Chengkong still put himself in a high position in his mentality.
But now he is personally delivering the pills to the door, which is the etiquette of expressing gratitude.
From looking down to looking straight, which one is more sincere and which way is more respectful to Jiushan Sect, everyone can see clearly.
Uncle Pang couldn't help but straighten his back and a smile appeared on his face.
Zheng Fa glanced at the pill bottles, thought for a long time, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Master Chengkong just felt that he had seen this expression before, and he remembered it as soon as he thought about it: "You want to change again?"
"……Um?"
"...Qingjing Bamboo is gone."
"Gone? If it's gone, what about the Fuso tree?"
Cheng Kongshangren's hands trembled, and he felt it was outrageous.
"I don't have Fusang wood..." He sighed, "In fact, I have never heard of anyone having this top-level spiritual root of heaven and earth."
He originally thought that Zheng Fa would be disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't expect that when Zheng Fa heard that no one had Fuso wood, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Master, you misunderstood. I just wanted to ask, have you ever heard of any spiritual roots related to the Fusang tree in this world?"
The pure and quiet bamboo was cultivated.
But Zheng Fa was still a little concerned about the Fusang tree.
The most important thing is that one spiritual root is not enough, so try adding another one...
You can never have too much of this stuff!
What's more, Qing Jingzhu is not close to me.
"Related?" Master Chengkong's expression moved, and he really thought of something, "I know there is a kind of spiritual root called Hao Ri Sang... It is rumored that it has some relationship with Fusang wood."
"Haori-san..."
"Yes, this is Haori Mountain's unique spiritual root. Haori Mountain has special skills and is good at archery. I heard that the longbow made of Haori mulberry branches has special power..."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa also realized the difficulty of this matter.
He didn't have much dealings with the incarnation of the God in Haori Mountain, or in other words, except for Master Changkong, even Xie Qingxue had never been to the Nine Mountains Realm - the Five Sects of Xuanwei probably still had a wall between themselves and other sects.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
"You want Hao Ri Sang?"
"Well... I can borrow it for a while. Um, even a branch will do."
Zheng Fa said frankly.
"This... is not easy. They value Hao Ri Sang very much and never let it out. Even the disciples of Hao Ri Mountain dare not lend it out."
Master Chengkong shook his head, seemingly helpless.
After all, although Zheng Fa saved the Hao Ri Mountain God, it is hard to say whether the other party will recognize this favor.
Even if he admitted it, he was just a disciple and couldn't afford to pay Hao Risang as a reward.
……
When returning to Tongming Mountain, Master Chengkong was still thinking about Zheng Fa's words. Haorisang was more special than he said - he heard that the spiritual energy was declining and Haorisang was difficult to grow now. Even some disciples of Haorisang who wanted to practice magic could not get this kind of spiritual material.
"what happened?"
When Master Mingde saw him coming back with a thoughtful look on his face, he asked curiously.
"Zheng Fa... he wants the Hao Ri Sang, no, I think he is thinking about the Fu Sang tree." Master Cheng Kong sighed, "It is understandable. Although the Great Free Demon Ancestor cannot come, the situation will get worse day by day. He is also doing this to protect himself."
The head monk Mingde asked, "You mean, he first borrowed the Qingjing Bamboo and then took the Haori Mulberry, for the sake of the Nine Mountains Realm?"
"Master, you also know that once you have a spiritual root of heaven and earth, the cave world will be able to grow on its own and will be more difficult to invade."
"He borrowed the Qingjing Bamboo before, but probably didn't get anything in return. Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and put his mind on the Hao Ri Mulberry..." The more he talked, the more regretful Master Chengkong felt. "Although he was desperate, this is the helplessness of the leader of a small force."
When he said this, Master Chengkong felt a little sympathy for Zheng Fa, but he also couldn't help feeling a little proud of being a disciple of the Supreme Dao.
After listening to this, Master Mingde remained silent and said nothing.
……
A few days later, Master Mingde suddenly walked into Master Chengkong's room and placed a box on the table.
Master Cheng Kong was stunned. He opened the box and saw a mulberry branch inside. The branch was inserted in a flowerpot. There were all kinds of spiritual objects and prohibitions at the bottom of the flowerpot, as if to prevent the branch from withering.
The branch was completely red, and the mulberry leaves on the branch were shaped like flames, emitting gusts of hot wind that slapped Cheng Kong Shangren's face.
"First Seat? Is this...Haori Sang?"
Although he had never seen Hao Risang, he had heard of the appearance of this spiritual root.
"First Master, you are..."
"I changed it!" A trace of pain flashed across Mingde's face, and he cursed again, "The head of Haori Mountain is so shameless. I told him that Zheng Fa saved the lives of the disciples of Haori Mountain, and he said that Haori Sang was his life!"
"..."
"First Master, this...Hao Ri Mountain requires a lot, right?"
The head of Mingde snorted coldly:
"He has no shame, but I do! My life is valuable!"
