For several days after that, Chen Dengming and Chen Dengming moved cautiously and hid. When resting, Jiang Qiang set up formations for protection. When they encountered monsters on the way, Chen Dengming took action and quickly dealt with them. The journey of thousands of miles was full of bloody battles and dangerous storms.
In this way, he gradually moved away from the scope of Jinxiufang without any danger. He could no longer see the trace of the black-feathered demon bird and no longer felt oppressed.
Two days later.
evening.
In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from the gathering place.
Jiang Qiang was sweating profusely, with a golden mask on his body. He was nervously placed in the center of a vortex of violent airflow, and his clothes were blown loudly.
The protection of the golden light mask is not airtight, but like a non-Newtonian liquid, it becomes stronger when it encounters a strong attack. When it is attacked by a rapid attack or a strong spiritual energy, it will form a defense to resist it and block it out.
However, it is unable to defend against phenomena such as poisonous gas, light, or wind created by airflow disturbances.
At this moment, Jiang Qiang could only feel countless small but heart-stopping air currents swimming outside his body, as if there were countless invisible swords passing through him, restricting his freedom of movement. If he dared to move even a little, he might be strangled to pieces.
"Chen, Brother Chen, this is how I feel now. It's like there are countless invisible swords all around my body. I dare not move rashly. It's almost done. Let's collect it quickly."
Jiang Qiang was a little flustered and spoke very quickly about his feelings.
Chen Dengming frowned and nodded slightly, "You can feel it so clearly. It seems that I still have to practice hard on this art of traveling Qi into gold.
I heard that this technique has been practiced to an advanced level, and once it is cast, the enemy will be strangled on the spot without even noticing, and the offensive composed of golden spiritual energy seems to be as invisible and qualityless as air."
Jiang Qiang could only smile bitterly when he heard this, and said to himself, Brother Chen, you have been able to learn the first-level and fifth-level transformation of dryness into glory in just two days, and the first- and sixth-level of the wandering air and transformation into gold. This is already wonderful, but They have to be so demanding, asking people with low talents how to deal with themselves.
By now, Jiang Qiang also knew the fact that Chen Dengming actually had high-grade spiritual roots, and he was not surprised by his speed in learning Taoism.
At first, he was just guessing in his mind. Later, Chen Dengming took the initiative and revealed that he had learned "The Art of Pulling Out Seedlings at the Detriment of Life" and forcibly improved his spiritual root qualifications at the cost of losing his life.
Jiang Qiang didn't know Chen Dengming's specific background, and he didn't even know his age. Immortal cultivators could see through the bone age of mortals at a glance, but it was difficult to see through the bone age of monks who were full of aura.
Therefore, Jiang Qiang was certainly not shocked by Chen Dengming's experience. He felt more regretful about this choice, but not envious at all.
If he was told to sacrifice his lifespan to improve his spiritual root qualifications, and he still didn't know what the effect would be, and whether he would be able to improve in the end, he would refuse to thank him. He was afraid that he would go to heaven after practicing, and he would only lament in his heart that Brother Chen is a cruel man with good luck.
boom! ——
At this time, Chen Denming waved his sleeves, and the controlled air flew away from Jiang Qiang in an instant, turning into sharp air waves that enveloped a big tree opposite.
As Chen Dengming grasped his hand, the air suddenly shrank like a whirlpool, and subtle metallic luster flashed, flowing and rubbing at high speed. The air was instantly filled with the smell of iron juice that was born after the rapid friction of steel.
"Chichichichichi!——"
A big tree was directly chopped into pieces by countless tiny blade-like metal energy, and a section of the tree trunk was smashed into dust and sawdust flying on the spot.
Jiang Qiang's heart was filled with fear when he saw this. This power fell on a person, and even the bones and dregs of the person were gone before he could take a breath.
At this time, Chen Dengming had already walked into the flying sawdust, frowning and concentrating on the difference of this method.
When Jiang Qiang saw this, he knew that Brother Chen had fallen into his old habit of practicing crazy and hard work.
He immediately stepped aside consciously, not daring to stay too close to disturb him.
He has long been accustomed to Chen Dengming's unique cultivation method and the strange and bizarre ideas that often pop up.
For example, the opponent once considered that after activating the ice cone magic talisman, he would immediately send out a large fireball and collide with the ice cone, trying to see whether the collision of ice and fire could unleash greater power.
The result is naturally that the two cancel each other out, and the power becomes even smaller.
So the other party looked for any technique that could spray oil or compress some kind of gas, which added fuel to the fire.
In short, Jiang Qiang watched Chen Dengming try all kinds of weird cultivation methods, and sometimes he was almost accidentally injured.
Over time, he became numb with admiration and surprise.
He also thought about imitating Chen Dengming's unique and flexible fighting style, but finally found that it was not the same material at all. The various movement skills and insights involved sounded like a book from heaven to him.
He had read in Taoist books about keeping quiet, being extremely still, and being in harmony with nature and man.
But this thing had been seen again and again, but it seemed ethereal. At least he didn't know how to enter this state and was completely blind.
"Peeling silk from cocoons, spring silk rain, this method is somewhat similar to the innate Qi of martial arts. If martial arts and Taoism are combined, you can start from this aspect."
Innate Gang Qi can spread Qi into silk, forming silk-wrapping Qi.
Spring silk rain-like energy bursts out, which can beat the enemy into a sieve, and can also strangle people on the spot.
In terms of power, it is certainly not as powerful as the Wandering Qi Transformation Technique, but the principles of the two are somewhat the same.
While Chen Dengming was deep in thought, he used his spiritual energy to travel along the path of innate Qi.
He flexed and stretched his hands to make a circle, and the spiritual energy all over his body exploded, and the muscles and bones all over his body crackled like firecrackers.
In an instant, a whirlpool of airflow was born around him, causing the surrounding vegetation to fall down and flying with great force.
As the energy increased faster and faster, it soon formed a silk-winding energy, which was extremely sharp. As soon as he leaned slightly against a nearby tree, the bark of the tree burst and sawdust flew.
The silk-winding power of using spiritual energy to exert innate Gangqi is still much less powerful than the wandering qi transforming into metal technique.
After all, if the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not leveraged, the spiritual energy consumption and power will be quite different.
"Using one's own spiritual energy to circulate the innate Qi, the spiritual energy consumed is enough to perform the Wandering Qi Transformation into Metal Technique twice."
Chen Dengming frowned, lost all his energy, and continued to chant the formula and perform the technique of traveling Qi into gold.
The mantra is recited with majesty and a special rhythm.
The surrounding air seemed to be quickly filled with sharp energy, and the wind blowing was like a knife shaving your face. The metal spiritual energy resonated and condensed quickly.
Chen Dengming spread his hands, and the controlled golden spiritual energy was spread all around his body, like soldiers ready for action, full of vigor and ready to attack at any time.
At this time, he only needs to follow the method of casting the wandering qi into metal technique. As soon as he shakes hands, all the surrounding qi will instantly shrink and turn into countless metal-type blades, cutting and mincing himself, and then be executed in Lingchi.
After Chen Dengming thought for a while, he poured spiritual energy into the high-level robes on his body, and summoned the Geng Gold Gong, ready to activate protection at any time.
Then try to achieve a special state of mind that is still and quiet, and gradually adapt to the state of unity between man and nature.
If it is said that in a state where heaven and man are not one, even if martial arts is combined with spiritual energy, it cannot directly leverage the spiritual energy in the air.
After it is close to the state of unity between heaven and man, it is like adding a pair of invisible big hands to the perception. It can pry the aura of heaven and earth at will, and it is feasible to round and stretch it.
…
After half a cup of tea, Chen Dengming gave up and went straight in.
Sort out your mind and try to enter a state of tranquility by sensing the intention of the sword.
Things like "state, thought, and state of mind" are mysterious and mysterious, whether in martial arts or Taoism.
Sometimes you want to deliberately pursue this state, but you can't find it. Sometimes you don't deliberately pursue it, but you just happen to enter that state by chance.
It's a bit like searching for love, drilling holes in the paper, not being able to see through. Suddenly I bumped into the way I came, and I felt that I had been blinded for half my life.
However, there is no guarantee that this state of being obtained by chance will continue to happen by chance next time, and it is never something that one can maintain.
Therefore, few people can fully grasp this state of unity between heaven and man in martial arts.
Chen Dengming also lacked the firepower at this time, but he found another way, intending to adjust his mentality first with the sword intention that has already united the human and the sword, and by analogy, he came close to the state of the unity of heaven and man.
When a person focuses on doing one thing, the passage of time seems to gradually become unclear.
In this way, all the realms and all the machines have fallen asleep, and all knowledge and sight have melted away.
Soon it was the morning of the second day.
When the eastern sky turned from white to yellow, and then from yellow to red, that red light shone on Chen Dengming's face.
He suddenly raised his head, and in his eyes he saw thousands of golden lights erupting from the east, shooting through the rose-red clouds, covering the mountains, rivers and woods in all directions with a layer of brilliance like broken gold.
At this moment, the inspiration and state accumulated all night seemed to be illuminated at this moment.
Suddenly all the dim spiritual light was born with brilliance.
Chen Dengming's eyes were shining, his hair was flying on his temples, and his mind suddenly reached a state of extreme tranquility. He suddenly cast a spell again.
Countless subtle golden auras in the air swam like flexible and life-rich fish, flexible and light.
As Chen Dengming flexed and stretched his arms to form a circle, he changed his casting method of the Wandering Qi Transformation into Gold Technique, and instead used the method of innate Gang Qi entwining silk power to cover the surrounding metal aura.
At this moment, his whole body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding metal spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in his body traveled along the innate Gangqi route at high speed, forming a circle.
As his arms waved, a large amount of air around him rotated at high speed and turned into a circle, suddenly glowing with metallic luster, as if it had become a golden halo, surrounding Chen Dengming's body, forming a protection.
Chen Dengming was neither happy nor sad. He looked at the traveling air that was rotating at high speed around him, and could feel the strong murderous intent and edge contained in it. At this time, it was driven by him like an arm, and it was much more flexible than before.
"go!--"
He pointed a finger casually, and his breath instantly rolled back and spurted out, like a torrent of metal, drilling through several large trees with a bang.
Chen Dengming turned his palm, and his swimming energy immediately turned into a dazzling golden circle, spinning around a huge boulder at an unparalleled speed.
"Buzz——"
The boulder buzzed, and instantly turned into countless rubbles and fell to the ground.
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell caused by the friction between metal and stone powder.
Chen Dengming's eyes were smiling, and with a casual move, the swimming energy that had become much weaker under the control of his spiritual energy retracted again, spinning at high speed on the palm of his hand, like a golden wheel cutting at high speed.
In the panel, the art of traveling qi into metal and his lifespan have both changed.
"Sixth level Qi training monk [Chen Dengming]
Life span: 238/342
Spiritual roots: gold, wood (high grade 0/100)
Martial Arts: "General Guide to Chen's Martial Arts" (Dzogchen)
Taoism: "Gu Refining Chapter" (Master 32/100), "Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique" (sixth level 76/600), "Chen's Taoism Chapter" (Mastery 78/100), "Destroying Life and Pulling Out Seedlings" (Level 78/100), "The Art of Controlling the Weapon" (Master 57/100), "Wandering Qi into Gold" (Mastery 20/100), "Transforming Death into Prosperity" (Beginner 1/100)"
After learning "Wandering Qi into Gold" and "Transforming Drying into Prosperity", his lifespan was originally 332 years.
But now he had an epiphany overnight, and the "Wandering Qi Transformed into Gold" was successfully integrated with the innate strength of martial arts. This first-level and sixth-level Taoist method directly entered the level of mastery from beginners, making his life span increase again. Ten years, reaching 342 years, another 104 years of good life.
But the only pity is that his "General Guide to Chen's Martial Arts" still did not have a qualitative breakthrough due to this insight.
"Brother Chen Chen, have you mastered it?"
Jiang Qiang had already been alerted by the sound and came over, but he was so surprised that he stood there with his eyes open, and then he reacted and said in shock.
Is this still a first- and sixth-level spell? This power is too terrifying.
Chen Dengming let go of the breath in his hands and nodded with a smile.
"Basically done!"
As the sky dawned, Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang continued to set off.
Their resting place was already approaching the Yunhua Mountain Road where they left the Southern Territory this time.
The gathering place, the Luo family, and the Zhu family are located in the northwest of the southern border.
To go to the Eastern Territory, you have to pass through the Yunhua Mountain Road, climb over several mountains, cross several large rivers, and then head east for a while before you can reach the edge of the Eastern Territory.
The two of them passed by a hillside and stopped for breakfast. They looked at the hazy outline of the gathering place in the distance and were feeling that they really had to run away and leave the Southern Territory.
I wonder if the situation at Jinxiufang will affect the gathering place.
However, the next moment, both of them froze, and were shocked to see a warship-like spirit boat flying over the gathering place, heading straight for the Luo family.
From dozens of miles away, one could vaguely feel the aura of spiritual power in the spiritual boat, and it seemed that there were foundation-building monks stationed there.
Jiang Qiang was stunned, "Well, that seems to be the Zhu family's spirit boat? Brother Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Dengming's face turned gloomy for a moment. He took a bite of the fishy dried fish and chewed it hard, "It seems that what Xu Ning said is true. The force that cooperates with the Zhu family must be the Lin family. Let's go! Stop talking nonsense. Go first and get out of here immediately!"
After saying that, he quickly used his body skills, and in the end, he simply flew over the mountain with his sword and quickly moved away.
Jiang Qiang quickly stuffed the dried fish into his mouth and followed closely behind him without hesitation. He was also a professional when it came to escaping for his life.
The two of them galloped for dozens of miles when they heard a dull roar in the distance, like thunder in a jar.
Looking back, I saw a spirit boat hovering not far from Luoshan City. Small spiritual lights flickered on the spirit boat, as if it had been handed over to me. It was hard to see clearly from a distance.
"Brother Chen, that looks like the location of the Luo family's snow silver mining area. It seems that the Zhu family and the Luo family are fighting over the snow silver mining area again.
However, the Luo family and the Luo family have married again. Is the Zhu family going to fight against the two major families? "
Jiang Qiang galloped beside Chen Dengming, a little confused.
Chen Dengming suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and vaguely realized something was wrong.
Why did the Zhu family take action now?
What confidence do you have?
Or is now the right time?
"Luo Bing is back?"
He immediately grasped this fleeting flash of inspiration and thought of many things in an instant.
If Luo Bing returns from the Miaoyin Sect, prepares to marry Luo Ping, and gets the Foundation Establishment Pill, then wouldn't it just meet the conditions for the whole family?
The reason why the Zhu family and the Luo family did not dare to kill each other was because they would not stop killing each other.
Both sides of the family have children practicing in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, so it is impossible to eradicate the roots. In this case, interests and future development must be considered, and many things should be considered.
But if Luo Bing comes back and is killed, the Zhu family will naturally dare to push the Luo family to death.
Of course, this is also based on the fact that the Zhu family may have united with other forces, otherwise it would not have much advantage and would not be able to make a desperate move.
"The Luo family is in the Eastern Region, and Luo Bing is going to return from the Eastern Region. If I were the Zhu family and had cooperated with the Jin Lin family, I would let the Lin family set up an ambush along the way, hiss——"
Chen Dengming realized that something was wrong, and suddenly felt that the surrounding mountains and forests seemed to be surrounded by dangers and full of murderous intent. He immediately called Jiang Qiang, who was still a little confused, to lower his sword light together.
In the forest not far away, more than a dozen cold eyes looked at the auras descending from Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang from a distance, and several of them couldn't help but frown.
"What are these two guys doing so sneakily and lowering the light?"
"Is there a mole? Our plan was leaked. Are these two people from the Luo family?"
"Be smart. If the Luo family really knows the news, will they only send number two people? The escape speed is so slow, and the strength is probably not strong."
"What should we do now? These two will find us if they fly closer."
"No, look at them, they are all stopped on the mountain over there. Do they know we are here?"
"It's really troublesome. The eldest lady of the Luo family hasn't shown up yet, so it's unavoidable. Fellow Daoist Ling, please take two people to drive away these two people first. If necessary, kill them immediately, and go back as soon as possible."
In the mountain forest, Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang lowered themselves to escape the light and huddled in the mountains to communicate.
After listening to Chen Dengming's analysis, Jiang Qiang's hair stood up, and he felt that nothing nearby was safe, and several powerful family monks might appear at any time.
"Brother Chen, their target is just the eldest lady of the Luo family. There is no need to make enemies even for us, right?"
Chen Dengming stared at the map in his hand, nodded and thought, "You are right, but if there is really some force ambushing monks like Luo Bing who are about to build a foundation, there may be at least three of them who are at the ninth and tenth level of Qi training. It is not impossible for monks to even appear to build foundations.
Once we two little shrimps are targeted, the other party may just send out an eighth- or ninth-level Qi practitioner to kill us.
Do you think that in such a situation where strength is absolutely dominant, would the other party still consider making enemies? It should be said that none of us are worthy of being each other's enemies. "
Jiang Qiang was stunned and immediately looked around. Psychologically, he only felt that the surroundings were unusually dead, which made him feel even more chilled.
Chen Dengming pointed to the map in his hand and said, "Look, we are in this position. Now we will bypass the main road to the Eastern Region and take this remote path. Although we may encounter monsters and it will be a bit troublesome, but..."
"But if you take the main road, it will be more troublesome! You may not even be able to walk now!"
A voice came from not far away, accompanied by strong spiritual power, suddenly interrupting Chen Dengming's words.
Chen Dengming noticed it almost as soon as he said the word 'but'. The moment he raised his head and looked towards the east, his face darkened.
