Maybe others don't know why Huang Yaoshi suddenly let Zhou Botong go, but Qin Yu has already guessed it!
As early as when Huang Yaoshi just appeared, Qin Yu had already discovered some clues from some details of his mentor!
That was different from his usual way of attacking, that more calm and restrained aura, and that deep confidence that was inadvertently revealed in his words and deeds. He was completely different from before!
Thinking about it, my mentor must have gained a lot from this retreat!
And what he gained was not just as simple as cultivating the [Nine Yang Divine Art]!
It is even possible to go one step further and make another breakthrough!
Sure enough, that night, Qin Yu's guess was confirmed...
After having a sumptuous dinner, Huang Yaoshi took Hong Qigong and Qin Yu to his Yaoshi Jingshe.
"What did you say! Huang Laoxie, did you break through?" Hong Qigong's eyes widened and he looked at the old opponent in front of him with disbelief.
Huang Yaoshi smiled nonchalantly, "Seventh Brother, why are you excited? I just took a step forward; I believe that it won't be long before Seventh Brother, you will also reach this state!"
Hearing this, Hong Qigong took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Okay! What a Huang Laoxie! I thought that among the four of us, Duan Huangye would be the first to break through; but he never will To think that it was you, Huang Laoxie, who took this step first! After all..."
Huang Yaoshi laughed at himself, "Yes, if it weren't for Yu'er, I might not be able to reach this level in my entire life!"
"Huh? Is it because of Mr. Qin?" Hong Qigong raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Qin Yu who was standing behind Huang Yaoshi.
Huang Yaoshi did not hide anything, and immediately said with a smile: "Seventh brother, you are not an outsider either; yes, it was Yu'er who found the high-end skills of our sect this time, which allowed me to make up for my own shortcomings and officially step into the innate world." Peak state!"
Hong Qigong looked astonished, "That's it! Haha, Huang Laoxie, you really have a good apprentice!"
Seeing the confused look on Qin Yu's face behind Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong couldn't help but look at Huang Yaoshi in surprise, "Huang Laoxie, doesn't Mr. Qin know about your affairs?"
Huang Yaoshi waved his hand and said: "At first I thought this matter had no solution, so I didn't want to cause trouble to a junior disciple like him! But now, it doesn't matter anymore! Seventh Brother, it's up to you to explain it!"
Hong Qigong nodded, and then said to Qin Yu with a smile on his face: "Young man Qin, if you have any questions, you can ask!"
At this time, Qin Yu could not hold back anymore. Seeing the two elders speaking, he couldn't wait to ask: "Qi Gong, why did master just say that he will never reach this level in his life?"
Hong Qigong smiled and said: "I knew you would ask this! Boy, let me ask you, do you know the realm of the Grand Master?"
Qin Yu replied without thinking: "During the day, when Qi Gong and Ouyang Feng were dueling, the old naughty boy explained to me that today's five masters are at the level of returning to their original nature. Only by achieving 'inner and outer unity' can they be promoted to the great master." The realm of the Grandmaster!”
Hong Qigong smiled and said: "As expected of Wang Chongyang's junior brother, this old naughty boy does have some knowledge! However, what he said is not accurate!"
When Qin Yu heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Please ask Qi Gong to clear up my doubts!"
Hong Qigong smiled slightly, "Now that you have entered the innate world, you are qualified to know this! Today I will step in and help you answer your questions!"
Having said this, Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "The so-called Grand Master realm, in the eyes of the world, is another name for the peak innate realm! But only us old guys know that, The innate peak is just the innate peak, only by breaking through the innate can one reach the true grandmaster realm!"
"As for the so-called 'return to nature' and 'unity of inside and outside', they are actually just describing the characteristics of the two realms from the late stage of innate to the peak of innate. As for the realm of the great master, you need to achieve another four words - the unity of heaven and man. !”
"After talking about this, let's go back and talk about your master!"
"Among our five skills, each has his or her own strengths! What Wang Chongyang is good at is the incomparable magical [Xiantian Kung Fu]. It was precisely with this magical skill that he was able to compete in the first sword debate at Mount Huashan. , take the lead in reaching the level of returning to nature, and beat the rest of us to become the best in the world!"
"In addition to Niubi, Dali Emperor Duan's [One Yang Finger], Lao Huazi's [Dragon Subduing Palm] and Lao Poison's [Toad Kung Fu], although they have always been defined as martial arts moves by the world, they also have Each supporting inner skill and mental method! Although not as powerful as Wang Chongyang's [Innate Skill], they still have their own characteristics and a complete system! So after the first Huashan sword debate, the three of us also stepped into this realm one after another! "
"Compared to the four of us, although the internal strength practiced by your master can be called mysterious, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this skill is quite satisfactory. Not only does it have no characteristics, it even feels... incomplete. The upper limit is limited! Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Huang Laoxie to take that step!"
"But who would have thought that your mentor, instead of stagnating because of this, actually found a new way and integrated all the martial arts moves to achieve a return to nature in another sense! Moreover, the combat power he displayed, It’s no worse than those of us who have reached the state of ‘returning to nature’ through internal cultivation!”
"Of course, even if your master is so talented, he still can't make up for the shortcomings in internal skills. 'Return to Nature' may be possible, but if you want to go further, you must make up for the shortcomings in internal skills and mental skills!"
"This is also the fundamental reason why your master said that you may not be able to reach this state in your lifetime!"
Hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but look at his mentor with surprise. At this moment, he finally understood why their Peach Blossom Island inheritance paid so much attention to martial arts moves!
And he finally understood why his mentor was so persistent in the [Nine Yin Manual]; it turned out that he regarded it as the last hope for advancement!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu was also extremely curious about his mentor's inheritance!
After all, what his mentor just said about "our high-end skills" has already confirmed something in disguise!
"Who would have thought that this shackle that restricted Huang Laoxie from moving to a higher level would be broken by you! Not only that, your master was a blessing in disguise, surpassing us in one fell swoop, and taking the lead in achieving the 'unity of inside and outside' The innate peak level! This fact really makes me, the old beggar, jealous!" At this point, Hong Qigong looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of appreciation.
