"More than five hundred years ago, the Black and White Dynasty that I ruled was still the most powerful empire in the mainland." Yan Dunhuang gently stroked the beard under his chin and said slowly, "At that time, I had only been practicing for more than two hundred years, but I have fully understood the Yin and Yang Dao of Heaven, and based on them, I have entered the realm of Shen Yuan. I am very satisfied, thinking that I am the best in the continent in terms of power and force. Looking at the entire world, I can also compete for world hegemony.
"In my opinion, cultivating to my level is basically the pinnacle of human cultivation and there is no way forward. Until one day, a person came from the ancient Annan continent in the far south and completely overturned my view. Know.
"This is a man even younger than me. Wearing an open robe and carrying a long sword, he entered the city from Nanhua Gate and walked along the Zhengnan Avenue towards the palace. From the moment he entered Blackstone City, he After displaying his Ten Thousand Swords Domain, his powerful sword aura shocked everyone on Zhengnan Avenue to the point of fear, and no one dared to come within twenty feet of him.
"What is more shocking than his sword aura is his peerless grace. He walked step by step towards the palace under the gaze of everyone. When he was halfway to Zhengnan Avenue, I felt him The sword energy was activated, so I took the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China out of the main south gate of the palace and stood on the parade square waiting for him.
"He came in front of me, his words were appropriate and polite. Although his whole body was full of sword energy, he had no murderous intention.
"He claimed to be the son of the leader of the human race in Annan Ancient Continent, and his name was Yue Zheng. He challenged me to a swordsmanship competition, and said that no matter whether he won or lost, he would give me a copy of his swordsmanship secret book.
"Of course I couldn't avoid the fight, so we fought on the spot. I only took seven moves from him before he stabbed me in the ribs with his sword, but he only pierced my clothes and didn't hurt me. .
"I used my best swordsmanship to attack with all my strength, and fought him with a hundred moves. As a result, I was stabbed by him eleven times, but I didn't cut off a single hair of his or touch half of his clothes.
"Although I was stabbed eleven times by him, he didn't pierce even a little bit of my skin. Moreover, except for myself, only a few people saw that I was defeated, but they only thought that I was defeated. I lost one and a half moves, but I didn't know I was defeated so completely.
"The shock this battle brought to my heart is something I have never experienced before, and I have never even imagined it in my dreams. In addition to admiration and worship, there is no trace of frustration or jealousy in my heart.
"I was conquered by Yue Zheng's heaven-defying swordsmanship and peerless grace, and I was even more excited that he gifted that heaven-defying swordsmanship to me. I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him and immediately became a close friend.
"After I got the sword manual he gave me, I started practicing hard. However, I quickly discovered a problem, a big problem that puzzled me. That is, no matter how I practiced, my swordsmanship would not work. He couldn't achieve the power he displayed that day, the speed, power control, and precision of his moves.
"Yue Zheng, like me, has both yin and yang true energy, and he also has a thorough understanding of the yin and yang heavenly way and uses it as a basis to carve Tao elixirs to enter the realm of divine origin. Moreover, we both also have a thorough understanding of the way of swordsmanship.
"In short, he and I are very similar in every aspect, and my Qi cultivation is higher than his because he has practiced for a shorter period of time than me. Under such circumstances, we practice the same In terms of swordsmanship, I should be stronger than him.
"I was afraid that I didn't have enough understanding, or that I didn't study hard enough. So I started practicing like a demon. Three years later, I thought I had completely mastered the sword manual, which is called 'Yin Yang Shake' I have perfected the Heavenly Sword's sword skills to the extreme, but I still can't reach the power he displayed that day, not even 30%."
"Little friend Qingshi!" After Yan Dunhuang said this, he smiled slightly at Qingshi and said, "Do you know why this is?"
"This..." Qingshi said thoughtfully, "If two people with almost the same cultivation, talent, and understanding practice the same swordsmanship, and they both practice to the extreme, then, although the power they display will be different, But there will never be a big difference. Unless the attributes of the true energy they use to activate the sword moves are different. However, both of you have both yin and yang true qi, and judging from the name of this sword technique, it should also use yin and yang true qi. Are you angry? I really can’t figure out why.”
"Actually," Yan Dunhuang chuckled, "You have already thought of it, you just need to be bolder."
"Uh~" Qingshi was stunned and said in surprise, "Could it be that...could it be that Yue Zheng used...Yuanli to activate this sword technique?"
"That's right!" Yan Dunhuang said, "That day, under my questioning, Yue Zheng finally told me the whole story. The true power he used to activate the 'Yin Yang Sky-Shaking Sword' was indeed Yuan Power.
"At first, I didn't believe what he said, because Yuan Li was just the legendary spiritual element from the age of gods ten thousand years ago. I also knew the legend of Ge Xiaotian turning one yuan into nine qi. There had been no Yuan Li in this world for a long time. .
"In order to make me believe, Yue Zheng injected a ray of Yuanli into my body, allowing me to truly feel the unparalleled power of Yuanli. At the same time, he also told me that he himself did not possess Yuanli. The Yuan Power he possesses is just something that his master forcibly injected into his body using a secret method. Once it is used up, it will never be available again.
"But Yuan Li is really magical. He can activate various martial arts with Yuan Li. The martial arts activated with Yuan Li are much more powerful than those activated with other kinds of true energy.
"And this 'Yin-Yang Heaven-Shaking Sword' is originally a sword technique passed down from the age of gods. It was originally meant to be activated with Yuan Power. It can also be activated with both Yin and Yang Qi, but it is not as powerful as using Yuan Power to activate it. Thirty percent.
"After Yue Zheng told me this, he finally revealed his purpose for coming to me. He just wanted to get my recognition and support and let me participate in the plan to restore the vitality of Tianlong World."
"Restore the Yuan Power of Tianlong World?" Qingshi asked in shock, "Really there is still Yuan Power in Tianlong World, and can it be restored?"
Qingshi was surprised to hear that Yue Zheng had the Yuan Power injected by his master in his body. When he heard that Yue Zheng was going to restore the Yuan Power in the Tianlong World, Qingshi was even more shocked.
"Not bad!" Yan Dunhuang said, "Next, Yue Zheng told me a huge secret. Before he told me, he used a secret method to put himself in a strange fugue state because he was manipulated by his master. I have to use this secret technique to completely say what he wants to tell me.
"Despite this, after he said these words, he was still counterattacked by the spell and eventually lost his life. In fact, he had known the result for a long time, but in order to restore the power of Tianlong World, he chose to sacrifice without hesitation Own."
"Ah!" Qingshi sighed with emotion, "Senior Yue Zheng is so great!"
"Yes!" Yan Dunhuang said, "Actually, like Yue Zheng, he is not the only one who chooses to sacrifice himself in exchange for the hope of restoring the power of Tianlong World.
"Yue Zheng told me that he learned from his master that the legends about Ge Xiaotian extracting Yuan Li and refining it into a sky-shielding curtain, and turning one Yuan into nine Qi are all true. But there is still a place in this world where Yuan Li exists, because For some reason, Ge Xiaotian did not touch the source of Yuanli.
"Yue Zheng said that that place is at the eye of the Demon Sea, where there is a demon imprisoned by the ancient gods in an array. The spiritual source of the array is an undersea Yuanshi vein.
"If someone can sneak into the Demon Sea Eye, enter the formation to kill the demons trapped in it, and then crack the formation to release the Yuan Power, then the missing rules of heaven and earth will be completed. Ge Xiaotian's The method of transforming nine qi into one element will fail.
"In this way, in as short as a hundred years or as long as a thousand years, the world of Tianlong will grow numerous Yuanshi veins again. The existing nine attributes of Qi will either disappear or coexist with Yuanli, but no matter which case it is , the Yuan Power will be restored, and the Tianlong World will once again become a world where true gods can be born.
"Yue Zheng told me this because he wanted me to lead the top human masters in the Shenmu Continent to complete the task of restoring Yuanli. Naturally, I obliged without hesitation. This is also because I have seen the power of Yuanli and know that if I want to To become an immortal, you must restore your original power."
"That's it!" Qingshi nodded and said, "I remember that senior Zeng Bufan once said that their final destination is the Demon Sea. Could it be that Jiang Tianlong and his party were summoned by you, Senior Yan, to go to the Demon Sea and kill them in the eyes of the sea? Devil, someone who releases Yuan Power?"
"Jiang Tianlong and the others are indeed here for this purpose," Yan Dunhuang said, "However, they were not summoned by me. The person who asked them to come here was a senior brother of Yue Zheng named Xing Xiang. He adopted The method is naturally the same as Yue Zheng's.
"Yue Zheng also had a senior brother named Gu Rong who went to Tianying Continent and used the same method to persuade Sheng Zhengyi. Therefore, I say that a great hero like Yue Zheng is not just him, but three of his senior brothers. People. They were all silenced by their masters, and they all ultimately sacrificed their lives."
"Senior Yan is right!" Qingshi said, "They are indeed heroes!"
"Old Ancestor," Yan Ruyun asked, "since Yue Zheng is so powerful, and his two senior brothers are naturally even more powerful, why don't they go to the Demon Sea by themselves, but go to three continents to convince the people of each continent?" Where does the ruler come to do this? According to you, even you are far less powerful than Yue Zheng!"
"Things are not that simple," Yan Dunhuang said. "Yue Zheng and his two senior brothers are actually not that powerful. The Yuan Power in their bodies is only enough to fight me, Jiang Tianlong, and Sheng Zhengyi once. Without Yuan Their combat power is at most equal to mine, and actually slightly inferior to Jiang Tianlong and Sheng Zhengyi.
"Moreover, it is very difficult to enter and break the formation of the Demon Sea. With the strength of the three of them, it is simply impossible. Later, Jiang Tianlong and I organized more than thirty masters of the Divine Origin Realm and hundreds of elixirs Realm cultivator, the result of our action was that almost the entire army was wiped out, and in the end it was not successful!"
"By the way, Ancestor," Yan Ruyun said, "What is the situation of Yue Zheng's master? Why can he use Yuanli, and why does he impose a silence spell on Yue Zheng and the others?"
"Yue Zheng told me," Yan Dunhuang said, "Their master is from the age of immortals. He has a large number of Yuan stones. He practices martial arts and activates martial arts with Yuan force. Therefore, his combat power is definitely The strongest in this world.
"Yue Zheng and the others hope that their master can restore Yuan Power, but their master is unwilling. He wants to be the only one in the world who can use Yuan Power, so as to maintain his No. 1 status in the world.
"Yue Zheng and the others did not approve of their master's actions, so their master cast a silence spell on them. Their master would hibernate and sleep for a hundred or two hundred years every once in a while, so they took advantage of the master's hibernation to formulate a plan and implemented the plan.
"Their master injected Yuan Li into their bodies and taught them martial arts from the age of gods, so that they could save their own lives in critical moments. But they used Yuan Li to prove Yuan Li to me, Jiang Tianlong, and Sheng Zhengyi. The existence and recoverability of power. They would rather sacrifice their lives to make the Tianlong World once again a world where true gods can be born."
"Who is their master?" Yan Ruyun frowned, "He is too selfish!"
"I don't know," Yan Dunhuang shook his head and said, "I asked Yue Zheng, but he refused to say it, or he couldn't say it because of the gag spell."
"I know!" Qingshi said, "If I guessed correctly, their master is Ge Xiaotian's younger brother - the pseudo-god Ge Wu!"
