Since he had agreed to participate in the sect leader election, Cheng Ling could only admit it. Every day, he practices swordsmanship diligently in the Taoist temple. His cultivation has reached its peak, and the purity of his true energy has been refined to its limit.
Observing Sect Master Xuan's Nascent Soul breakthrough was of great help to him. If it wasn't for the Sect Master Competition and suppressed his cultivation at the Golden Core stage, he could have tried to break through the Nascent Soul.
Then all that's left is to improve your swordsmanship. I finally have a rough understanding of the last move of Leiyun Swordsmanship, and I will try to master it in the next few days. This last move, Cheng Ling named it "God of Thunder!" was many times more powerful than the fourth move, and it was also a large-scale attack move.
Cheng Ling practiced hard for five days and finally got the initial scale. With one move, the entire cliff was shattered by lightning. He could also use thunder and lightning to guide the gravel to create a second wave of strikes. Unfortunately, this move consumes too much, and even with his peak cultivation level, he can only perform two moves.
He began to study reducing the coverage area of the moves and reducing consumption. However, this Thunder Cloud Swordsmanship was recorded on a golden page and was of extremely high grade. Cheng Ling even doubted that a grade above human level could be changed so easily.
Every day, more than six hours are spent on improving swordsmanship, and four hours are spent practicing body skills. The shadow-following body technique is a high-grade human body technique. He has already reached the peak of his practice, and now is the time to improve it again.
Fortunately, after comprehending the artistic conception of wind, it also has a bonus to body skills. He wondered if he could understand the artistic conception of thunder. In this way, the improvement of sword skills and body skills would be increased.
Thunder is a manifestation of the power of heaven and earth. There are spring thunders that revive all things, violent summer thunders, harvest thunders, winter thunders that spread thunderbolts, and all kinds of thunder disasters and thunder punishments! All kinds of thunder power have their own characteristics and similarities.
Cheng Ling has seen the thunder of the four seasons, the golden elixir thunder, and the transformed thunder of monsters. So what is the origin of thunder? Thunder represents life and destruction. It is born in heaven and earth, shines in the night sky, and produces flames, light, sounds, vibrations, and new life.
As he thought about it, his soul kept sublimating, as if flying to the sky, comprehending the brewing, generation and fall of thunder. Gradually, the origin of Lei became clearer and clearer. This thunder is born in the sky and falls to the ground. The flash of lightning is its life.
Its life is so short, but it shines on the world. Suddenly, he completely realized that it was just a natural phenomenon that represented the majesty of heaven and earth, and could be used as a reference and application. He knew that he had understood the artistic conception of thunder.
He raised the Thunder Cloud Sword in his hand, condensed all the true energy in his body to the tip of the sword, brewed for a moment, and then struck out suddenly. A huge amount of energy blasted towards the cliff, blasting out a circular passage about ten feet long, like a man-made tunnel.
Feeling his true energy again, he found that a quarter was missing, and Shen Lei Shu finally reached the state of great success. The consumption of real energy is reduced, but the power is greatly improved. There are four opportunities to use it, twice as many as before.
Cheng Ling was overjoyed, finally living up to the hard work of the past few days. If you want to improve your swordsmanship again, you can only improve your understanding of the artistic conception, so now focus on your body skills.
Another ten days passed, and half a month passed. Cheng Ling was practicing his body skills in the woods outside the Taoist temple when Liu Qingyan finally arrived.
In the past ten days, he has perfectly integrated the shadow-like body technique and the artistic conception of thunder. Pushing the level of body skills forward by one level, reaching the top level of the human level, Cheng Ling named it "Divine Thunder Disease!"
This movement is as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder. It is surrounded by thunder and lightning. It can be said that it has the advantages of attack, defense and speed. Cheng Ling believed that among the same level, there was no one else who could match his swift body skills and oiling skills on the soles of his feet.
My husband has practiced to the limit!
He finished using his movement skills, and instantly came to Liu Qingyan and said, "Uncle Master is finally here. How come, after half a month of wrangling, it should be confirmed!"
Liu Qingyan nodded with satisfaction: "Your body skills have been greatly improved, yes, you haven't slacked off."
"That's natural. Since I promised my uncle, I should work hard. Who knows where the foreign aid will be invited by Taishang Yang."
Liu Qingyan looked solemn and said, "You are right. The foreign aid Yang Sen invited this time is extraordinary. Not only are they disciples from the Famous Sword Academy, they are also direct descendants of the Liu family in the south!"
Cheng Ling was startled, it couldn't be such a coincidence! He asked in surprise: "Uncle, are you talking about Liu Ming?"
"Oh? Do you know him?"
"Not only do I know him, but I have also fought with him. This man is indeed an extraordinary person, not just a simple thing."
Cheng Ling was telling the truth. If he hadn't been hit by Ruanjinsan in the fight with Liu Ming a few months ago, the outcome would still be unknown. But today, I just realized the fifth sword move and the divine lightning movement technique, and I can definitely suppress him. Let’s not tell Liu Qingyan this yet.
Liu Qingyan nodded and said: "This person is indeed good, and his cultivation has reached the Golden Core Perfection. I learned from Yan Bing that he seems to be here for you."
Cheng Ling was depressed, it wasn't that girl Yan Bing who borrowed a knife to kill someone, otherwise how could she have caused such trouble. But I don't cause trouble, and I'm not afraid of trouble. If I really push myself to the extreme, I have no choice but to offend the Liu family and the Mingjian Academy!
He said calmly: "Come on me, come on me, he just likes Yan Bing. Uncle, do you know the Liu family and the Famous Sword Academy?"
Liu Qingyan smiled and admired Cheng Ling's responsibility. Said: "The Liu family has been passed down for thousands of years and is one of the top cultivating families in the south. Their ancestors have also reached the stage of becoming gods. But don't worry, I don't take it seriously as they are in the early stages of becoming gods."
"As for the Famous Sword Academy, it's a bit tricky. It's not something our Wuxiang Sword Sect can fight against. Any teacher from the academy can destroy the entire sect. You must be careful. If there is an opportunity in the future, you must also Try your best to enter the academy, it will be very helpful for your future cultivation."
Cheng Ling was shocked. Is this just the stage of becoming a god? The Famous Sword Academy is so powerful, what's going on? He asked doubtfully: "The transformation stage is a level higher than your uncle, why don't you take it lightly? There is also the Famous Sword Academy. Are they that powerful?"
Liu Qingyan said: "I once told you that I was trapped in an ancient cemetery for several years."
Cheng Ling nodded without interrupting and waited for her to explain.
Liu Qingyan continued: "There, I not only learned all the spells and swordsmanship on the wall, but later after experiencing the world, I realized how powerful those spells are. Generally, anyone who is a level higher than me can kill them!"
"Although the Liu family has been passed down for thousands of years, they do not have profound skills and swordsmanship. Their ancestors are no match for me!"
Cheng Ling suddenly realized, no wonder the Liu family was worried about Liu Qingyan. The reason was here. The ancestor of the Liu family must have fought against her and returned in defeat, so he did not dare to touch Cheng Yanbing at all, and could only rely on Liu Ming's own methods.
He asked out of curiosity: "What kind of place is the Famous Sword Academy? I've heard people say that there are millions of outstanding disciples from many families and sects gathered there!"
Liu Qingyan said solemnly: "Yes, the strength of Famous Sword Academy is indeed strong. I also practiced in the academy back then, but I had no choice but to leave after offending those in power. I will tell you about these things in detail in the future
, the most important thing at the moment is the sect leader succession competition. "
Liu Qingyan didn't seem to want to say too much about the Famous Sword Academy, so Cheng Ling could only suppress his curiosity, calm down, and listen to her explanation of her purpose.
"We discussed for more than ten days and finally reached a consensus. As long as the sect monks in the late Jindan stage and above can participate in the sect leader succession competition."
"There are not many people there. Is Liu Ming a disciple of Yang Sen?"
"Yes, Yang Sen did accept him as a disciple. But everyone knows what happened. It was just an expedient measure to prevent the Cheng family from becoming dominant. Although the number of people participating in the competition expanded to the entire sect, it was not It would be too much.”
"Who exactly are they?"
"You are the only one participating in your formation hall, while there are three people in the sword hall, namely Liu Ming, Yang Xu, and Liu Wen."
"What are the identities of the other two?"
"Yang Xu is Yang Sen's nephew, and his cultivation is in the late stage of Jindan. He is the hidden power of the sword hall and rarely shows up in the past. As for Liu Wen, he is Liu Ming's younger brother."
"The ones participating from Wu Tang are Ling Xiao, Song Yingjie, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Xu."
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed coldly, and he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He asked, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Xu? Why have I never heard of them?"
"You have been missing for six years. Before that, you were always in the Taoist temple in the sect and rarely went out. Of course you don't know. Those two people are the most capable force in Wutang. They are the right-hand man of the sect master. They are both in the late stage of Jindan."
Cheng Ling remained silent, someone from the sect master? Could it be related to the ambush that year? He didn't dare to confirm, so he changed the subject and asked: "What about the martial arts hall?"
"The largest number of people participating in the martial arts hall are Cheng Yanbing, Cheng Hongyi, Cheng Zhenghong, Cheng Honggang, and Cheng Hongjie, a total of five people!"
"I know the other three people. Who are Cheng Honggang and Cheng Hongjie?"
"If there are only three people who pose a threat to you participating in the competition, they are Liu Ming, Cheng Honggang, and Cheng Hongjie."
"Oh? Are they very strong? Are they also newly recruited disciples?"
Liu Qingyan sighed: "Yes, now the Chen family's power in the sect has been greatly reduced, and the Cheng family has finally shown its fangs. Both of them have reached the perfect level of golden elixir cultivation, and Cheng Yuan was recently accepted as a disciple. . It’s ridiculous that he himself has perfected the golden elixir, but he actually accepted two golden elixir perfect disciples.”
Cheng Ling said in surprise: "Don't the other elders have any opinions?"
Liu Qingyan had no choice but to say: "Yang Sen accepted the two brothers Liu Ming and Liu Wen, and the sect master sent out Xiao Yan and Xiao Xu, so it is understandable that Cheng Yuan accepted Hong Gang and Cheng Hongjie. Besides, I am from a martial arts hall, even more so. It’s hard to object.”
Cheng Ling felt like she had a splitting headache. It was nothing like this. A very simple matter of succession of the sect leader involved three parties, except that the Chen family was replaced by the Liu family. Moreover, the Liu family is stronger and even more terrifying.
Do these people really just want to be the leader of the Wuxiang Sword Sect? The purpose of the Liu family should be clear, it is Cheng Yanbing, but he is the one who carries the thunder. The sect leader's purpose is also reasonable, he wants his disciples to inherit the throne.
What is the purpose of the remaining Cheng family? Cheng Yuan may have the idea of seizing the position of the sect leader, but he is completely a puppet and has no effect at all. So what is their purpose?
An idea flashed in his mind. The thick book in the Wuxiang Sword Sect has never been found. It is certain that both the Cheng family and the sect leader must be here for the secret of the thick book. But who can confirm whether the Liu family also knew about the thick book?
This sect leader succession competition is simply murderous at every step!
