Chapter 576 Three Years
Huhu~
The sea of clouds was surging, and four huge suns were hanging high in the sky, casting golden light across the vast expanse.
On the Grand Canal, merchant ships drifted downstream with the wind and gathered at the docks outside Hengshan City.
"Is that Hengshan City?"
On a large ship flying the flag of "Divine Soldiers", Yue Yunjin, with his hands on the pergola, looked out at the majestic city nestled between the mountains and the water.
There are docks everywhere, thousands of merchant ships gather there, and the official roads on land are extremely busy and bustling.
"As expected of our Hengshan Dao Sect, you are truly blessed with great fortune!"
On the deck, Liang Ashui was also looking out into the distance. The magnificence of this city was far beyond any city he had seen before:
"The situation at the Dragon and Tiger Temple is already like this, what about the other Taoist sects?"
"It should be about the same, but now the Dragon Tiger Temple is already the number one Taoist sect in the world."
Ba Wanli sat cross-legged on the deck, but he was taller than the two of them when they were standing. Except at home, he was unwilling to maintain the clavicle method, which made him feel suffocated.
After practicing the 'Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body' given to him by Li Yuan, although he has not yet refined his internal organs, his physique has expanded again. He is really ten feet taller. Among the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley, he is more than just a crane among chickens.
"Dao Zong!"
Many disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley were quite excited. Gong Yangyu, who walked out of the cabin, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Longhu Mountains in the distance while listening to the report in the wind.
It has been nearly five years since the meeting with Li Yuan at the Martial Arts Competition.
"...One thousand sharp-blade hammer soldiers, three thousand swords of various types, and eight hundred pieces of inner armor... and a number of leather boots and bone ornaments? These were collected from various sects and cities along the way..."
"Counting the stocks we have accumulated in the valley over the years and the weapons we have obtained in the past five years, the total number of weapons exceeds 120,000..."
When Feng Zhongyi reported, his expression was a little solemn, and his voice was lowered: "Valley Master, Dragon Tiger Temple is holding another martial arts performance. Is there another purpose?"
"Don't think too much."
Gong Yangyu glanced at him.
In fact, Feng Zhongyi was not the only one who thought so, he also had some doubts in his heart.
Although this huge order was given to him by Li Yuan, he did not think that Li Yuan himself would need so many weapons. It must have come from the instruction of Longhu Temple.
"Is the Dragon and Tiger Temple planning a rebellion?"
He waved his hand and asked Feng Zhongyi to go and dispatch the boat to the dock. Looking at the Longhu Mountains in the distance, Feng Zhongyi felt a little uneasy. It had only been a few years since he had settled down.
Is it possible that I have to run away with my entire clan again?
With a lot of thoughts in mind, the group from Shenbing Valley arrived at the dock outside the city. Before they got off the boat, someone came to greet them. It was the inner sect elder Yan Sanxing.
"Master Gongyang has come a long way and has worked hard."
Yan Sanxing's face was full of smiles and he was very polite. Gong Yangyu returned the greeting with a smile, and disciples from the Longhu Temple went to receive the weapons on the ship.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting and walked into the city arm in arm, as if they were old friends meeting again.
The disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley were quite surprised. Their valley master actually had such a relationship with the elder of the Dragon and Tiger Temple?
Why didn't I see him when I was in Dechang Prefecture...
Hengshan City is bustling with activity. The martial arts performances that had been postponed before have been restarted. Sects from various prefectures and cities have arrived one after another over the past three years. At this moment, the streets are full of martial artists carrying swords and knives.
Liang A Shui looked around, looking for a way to make money, and soon he was attracted by a few big monks who were setting up stalls on the street.
"Come on, come on, buy it and leave!"
"I bet ten taels, big!"
"I got nine big numbers in a row. Can this one get another big number? I'll bet on a small number..."
The big monks were unkempt, rolled up their sleeves and shouted loudly, shaking the dice and urging people to place bets.
Opening a gambling stall on the street?
Yue Yunjin took a glance and was immediately shocked: "Master!"
Across the long street, the voices of those big monks were loud and clear. Each of them was strong and powerful, with vigorous blood. It was obvious that they were skilled in martial arts, and at a very high level.
“These monks…”
Yan Sanxing frowned slightly, and just as he was about to explain, a big monk in a yellow cassock came over quickly and saluted:
"Elder Yan is polite. Who are these people?"
"Brother Liaokong."
Yan Sanxing did not dare to be negligent and quickly returned the greeting.
This great monk had been in seclusion for five years and had made great progress in Taoism. He was already a great master and his status was far beyond his reach.
He introduced them to everyone: "This is Master Liaokong, the most important person in the Xinyi Sect. This is the Master of the Gongyang Valley of the Divine Weapon Valley..."
"Master Gongyang is polite."
Monk Liaokong greeted him with a very good attitude.
"Master Liaokong."
Gong Yangyu returned the greeting, feeling somewhat strange. Could it be that the group of people setting up the stalls were monks from the Xinyi Sect?
This is inevitable...
"Haha, a little gambling is good for the mood, a little gambling is good for the mood."
Monk Liaokong saw through his thoughts, smiled, and changed the subject: "You all want to go see Junior Brother Li, right? It just so happens that I want to go to discuss martial arts with him, why don't you go with me?"
"That's fine..."
Gong Yangyu had no choice but to agree.
"A few years have passed, Junior Brother Li, your martial arts skills must have improved a lot, right?"
When walking past the archway at the mountain gate of Longhu Temple, Monk Liaokong saw Pei Xingkong. Like him, he had gone back to seclusion after the martial arts performances were postponed, and now he has also reached the Grandmaster level.
"It's empty."
Pei Xingkong also noticed it, but he just glanced at it and then looked away, explaining the precautions for the martial arts performance to his fellow disciples behind him.
The martial arts performance among the various sects is a competition among disciples before they enter the sect. He just led the team here and waited for the final decision after discussion among the sect masters.
……
"call!"
"Inhale!" In the Divine Burial Coffin Cave, three hundred miles outside Mingquan City, on a high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the sea of clouds, breathing in and out.
His breathing was long and each time he exhaled, a strong wind seemed to rise up, blowing the grass and trees on the cliff side rustling.
hum~
Li Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated, and the sounds of Huangzhong and Dalu rang out in his heart.
Below his brows, there are "nine stars" surrounding each other, shining brightly. These are the Nine Palaces of Niwan. The Nine Palaces are rotating, emitting dazzling light.
From top to bottom, there are stars echoing each other in the distance. In the past three years, following Pang Wenlong's guidance, he has lit up all the acupoints in his body.
Including the Nine Palaces of Niwan, there are a total of 365 acupoints.
call!
The various acupoints responded to each other, and with every vibration, the blood and bone marrow in Li Yuan's body trembled rhythmically, as if they were constantly transforming.
"The worship of the gods has reached this stage, and it is considered complete..."
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
After the sixth level of the God Worship Method, it involves the cultivation of the spirit and soul. After entering the Tao, he naturally made progress. This is not only true for the God Worship Method, but also for the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra, the Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon, the Dragon Elephant Vajra and other magical skills.
Of course, perfection involves the integration of three elements. Even with his heavenly-level talent, he cannot reach the great perfection.
call!
As Li Yuan's mind moved, the light from the various acupoints became brighter and brighter, and they gathered consciously and rushed towards the Niwan Nine Palaces.
hum~
The mighty light like a tide surged into Niwan, and Li Yuan's whole body was shining with light, and all the fatigue from several fierce battles was swept away.
Under the nourishment of the majestic qi, blood and true energy, his Niwan Palace was trembling slightly, with his spirit and soul residing within it, and it was unexpectedly like a baby in the mother's womb, stable and peaceful.
Wow~
Li Yuan could hear the sound of the river rushing.
Even with his eyes closed, he could still see the dazzling blue color. This was the true energy after blending with the blood and qi. Thanks to the great success of Tianyijiu Refining,
Each strand of true energy is pure and restrained, containing explosive power.
Woo~
In the gently vibrating Niwan Palace, the original place of spiritual light has disappeared, and instead, there is a vast ocean of waves. This is the prototype of the divine realm condensed by Li Yuan.
Above the vast ocean, there was a bare, dull piece of wilderness. That was the place where he had built up his army before he entered the Dao.
After entering the Tao, under the nourishment of the powerful true qi, this military training ground has become ten times larger than the original one, under the watchful eyes of Li Yuan.
There are swords and hammers dancing in it. One is in the shape of a sword with a dragon and a tiger on it, and the other is in the shape of a hammer with a black whale on it.
These are the two major divine pattern combinations he currently possesses.
During the three years, Li Yuan had been nurturing his spirit and body. He was extremely careful about the cultivation of the divine realm. Compared with the physical realm, the cultivation of the divine realm was a move that could be made without regrets.
"My current martial arts are based on the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra, supplemented by the Divine Worship Method, Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon, Dragon Elephant Vajra, and Health Dragon Tiger, plus a variety of horizontal training..."
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
The martial arts he practiced were so diverse that perhaps only the Dragon Demon Taoist could be compared to him throughout history. Thousands of martial arts essences flowed in his heart.
"The cultivation of the spirit is mainly based on the Sea-Splitting Black Whale, supplemented by the Military Training Sutra, the Pill Training Sutra, and the Treasure Refining Technique, the 'Sword Training Sutra' obtained from the Changhong Yiqi Sword, and the 'Armor Training Sutra' from the Sea-Suppressing Black Turtle Armor..."
Li Yuan stared at the vast ocean.
With the military talisman in his hand, he was destined to take a broad path, and this vast ocean was the most suitable prototype of his divine realm.
There is nothing in the ocean, but it has the foundation and possibility for everything.
"The sea embraces all rivers, and it is inclusive. Even if I don't go to Tianshiyuan, I may be able to raise a Saint-level 'Dragon Kun Dharma Image'!"
A thought flashed through Master Li Dao's mind, but it only flashed by for a moment.
It takes courage to make a way when there is no way out, but it is foolish to make a way when there is one. Knowing that Tianshiyuan has a way out, of course he wants to go and take a look.
wow~
The ocean is rippling with waves, as if a giant fish is swimming in the water.
call!
After a long time, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Through the sea of clouds, he could see the palace:
"Five Dragon Immortals!"
Three years in the world is equivalent to thirty years buried in the coffin!
Although it is impossible to accumulate true energy or strengthen the body in the cave, thirty years is long enough for him to digest all the martial arts he has learned and turn them into his own foundation.
It is also enough for him to further explore this secret realm of divine burial.
Including Mingquan City, he has been to most of the thousands of cities under the Mingquan Mountains, and he has even walked through the many mountains under the jurisdiction of the "Yanxia Sect" more than once.
This God Burial Secret Realm seemed like the real past, but he couldn't get the thing he cared about most...
"The martial arts secrets in this God Burial Coffin are like the moon in a well and the flowers in the water. You can't see them clearly and you can't get them... Or maybe, only after defeating the Five Dragon Fairy Queen can you have a chance to get to them?"
Li Yuan had a headache.
The difficulty of the secret realm of this divine burial coffin is outrageous. The guards in the palace include not only those at the level of unity, but also those at the level of divine palace!
He tried more than ten times, but never even saw the Five Dragon Immortal.
"That Five Dragon Immortal is at least above the Divine Palace Realm. It's useless even if we meet him... The birth of a member of the Origin God Clan often consumes the energy of an entire life star. Their endowment and foundation are far beyond that of ordinary races. If they want to advance to a higher level, they have to advance two or three levels..."
Li Yuan shook his head in his heart.
With ten thousand chances in hand, he would naturally not hesitate to try one or two of them, but that would be meaningless.
The Thousand-Eyed Master who wanted to go against the third level couldn't even withstand one of his hammers. Even with the Weapon Control Talisman in his hand, there was no way he could defeat the Five Dragon Immortal at this moment.
"Who are you?!"
When he heard the roar in the distance, Li Yuan decisively withdrew from the Divine Burial Secret Realm and had no intention of fighting with these guards.
He had experienced similar fights countless times in the past three years and was fed up with it.
Moreover, compared to exploring this secret place, he has more important things to do right now.
Although he could not use the time difference between the Divine Burial Secret Realm and the real world to strengthen his body and energy, it greatly promoted his progress in martial arts.
It has only been three years since he came out of Bafang Temple, and he has already expanded the number of his forms to nearly ten thousand!
"call!"
In the small courtyard in the back mountain of Longmen, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the slight trembling of his body, and inevitably felt a little excited in his heart.
"Manxing!"
