The third level of martial arts is a watershed.
"After you cross this threshold, the help that your family, including Tongyou Academy, can provide you is extremely limited. You can only rely on yourself more often!"
When Shang Xia, who had stabilized his cultivation, came to see Shang Ke after coming out of seclusion, the Shang clan chief said these words casually when handing him the two core inheritances of the family. .
Although Shang Xia has long understood this truth, as the patriarch of the Shang family, these words are what he must say to every newly promoted third-level warrior in the family.
It was Shang Bo who said these words before, but today it is the first time that Shang Ke said these words as the clan leader.
As the core martial arts inheritance of the Shang family, "Three Chapters of God's Will" and "God's Will Spear" cannot be taken away from the inheritance.
In fact, even Shang Xia himself would not be able to enter here without the leadership of the clan leader Shang Ke. Shang Xia can only keep these two inheritances firmly in mind here.
Fortunately, Shang Ke, a fourth-level warrior, is here, and when he was in the martial arts realm, he also practiced "Three Chapters of Heaven's Will" and "God's Will Spear". With his current cultivation and knowledge, he is enough to give Shang Xia Provide detailed guidance.
However, Shang Ke did not do this. He just briefly recounted a few common questions in the practice process of "Three Chapters of Providence", and then answered a few questions from Shang Xia, and said no more.
Even when Shang Xia was remembering "The Spear of Heaven's Will", Shang Ke was even more taciturn. Even though Shang Xia was puzzled, he only said that he would think about it carefully afterward and not rush to find the answer.
Although Shang Xia didn't understand its meaning, he could only memorize the two sets of inheritance in his mind first, and recited them several times until there was no possibility of omission.
It was only at this moment that Shang Ke said: "Do you know the origins of "Three Chapters of Providence" and "God's Will Spear"?"
Shang Xia couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, but he was already thinking that what his uncle said might be related to his unwillingness to answer his questions too much just now.
Sure enough, I heard Shang Ke continue to say: "These two inheritances were not originally owned by my business, but were obtained from the sky by the ancestors of the Shang family more than a hundred years ago!"
"Tianwai?"
Shang Xia's face was full of surprise, and he looked at his uncle in disbelief.
However, Shang Ke nodded calmly and said: "Although it sounds pretentious, the two major inheritances of our merchant's martial arts realm do come from a meteor that fell to the ground from outside the sky. When an ancestor of the merchant found the meteor that fell to the ground, When it came to the place, only a fragment was left on the spot, as well as these two well-preserved jade slips, which recorded the "Three Chapters of Heaven's Will" and "The Spear of Heaven's Will."
At this point, Shang Ke's expression showed a hint of sigh: "More than a hundred years ago, Shang was just a small, unpopular family in Youzhou, but it was precisely because of these two complete third-level inheritances that the family began to After growing gradually more than a hundred years ago, until Cangling Realm invaded and most of Youzhou fell, the Shang family was already the second-rate family in Youzhou after the five major families."
"What's there outside the sky?"
Except for the cryptic origins of "Three Chapters of Providence" and "God's Will Spear", Shang Xia was naturally familiar with the history of the rise of merchants over the past hundred years, but what attracted his attention more at this time was the so-called "Tianwai"!
Shang Ke was not surprised at all by Shang Xia's curiosity, because almost every merchant disciple who accepted these two core inheritances would ask this question.
However, Shang Ke could only shake his head and said, "I don't know either."
But before Shang Xia's face showed disappointment, Shang Ke said again: "But Kou Chongxue once said that there is a sky outside the sky, and Cang Yu and Cang Ling may only be a drop in the ocean."
Seeing Shang Xia's thoughtful look, Shang Ke continued: "This "Three Chapters of Providence" is profound and profound, with far-reaching implications. Every practitioner will gain something different from it. If you follow other people's old practices, or follow other people's practices, Others point out that what you gain is often not suitable for you, or even very harmful. This has been verified by many warriors in the business for more than a hundred years. Therefore, those in the family who have practiced this skill all rely on personal understanding. In the end, The results may be high or low, but without exception, they are all exercises that are most suitable for you, and you rarely have to worry about losing control of your exercises or going crazy."
When Shang Xia heard this, he suddenly realized, and then said: "So, then the same is true for "God's Will Spear"?"
Shang Ke said: "The spear method is the same but the meaning of the spear is different. "God's Will Spear" is closely related to "Three Chapters of Heaven's Will". My grandfather and I both practiced "God's Will Spear", but your grandfather's spear has far-reaching meaning and directly points to the soul and will, so it is called 'Split Soul', and I am not as good as your grandfather, and in the end I got the nickname 'Hanging Gun'."
Although the practice of these two major traditions depends entirely on personal self-realization, Shang Ke still made many points on matters related to practice, even in detail. This also shows that the family and his uncle have great expectations for his future. Looking forward to it.
After receiving the family's core inheritance in Wuyijing, Shang Xia was about to leave, but suddenly heard Shang Ke say: "Memorize the two inheritances as soon as possible and get started. You need to return to Tongyou College as soon as possible."
"Is there anything important?" Shang Xia asked casually.
"Kou Chongxue may meet you!"
…………
Coming out of the family inheritance place, Shang Xia quickly met Yan Qi, who came specifically to find him.
"Son, congratulations!"
Yan Qi's joy comes from the heart.
"Uncle Qi, how is the situation in Tongyou City recently?"
During the time when Shang Xia returned from the Two Realms War Zone, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion and knew very little about the outside world.
And recently, I don't know if Shang Xia is too preoccupied. I always feel that both Shang Ke and Shang Xi are hiding something from him.
"Sir, you might as well call me 'Yan Qi', or 'Lao Qi' or something like that. Calling me 'Uncle Qi' really offends me." Yan Qi seemed to have something to hide.
Shang Xia stopped when he heard this, turned around and said in a deep voice: "Why, did someone say something to you?"
"That's not true," Yan Qi said in a low voice, "It's just that we don't think it's appropriate. Now that Master Nine has returned home, there is another Second Master in the family. You should call these two 'Uncle Nine'." , 'Second Uncle', but if you call me 'Seventh Uncle' again it's really inappropriate, what will other people in the family think of me?"
Although Shang Xia himself felt that it didn't matter, this matter had to be considered from Yan Qi's perspective. The title of 'Uncle Qi' would indeed make it difficult for him in the family.
So Shang Xia nodded and said, "Then I will call you 'Uncle Yan' from now on."
Before Yan Qi could say anything, Shang Xia had already raised his feet and continued to walk forward. Upon seeing this, Yan Qi quickly followed and reported behind him: "The situation in Tongyou City seems a bit strange!"
"oh?"
Shang Xia expressed his curiosity appropriately and asked as he walked: "Tell me about it."
Yan Qi said in a deep voice: "It's still about the murder of You Haibiao. Logically speaking, if a fourth-level elder of Beihai College was killed in Tongyou City, it would definitely cause an uproar, but Tongyou City is too peaceful now. , all the forces gathered inside and outside Tongyou City seemed to have forgotten the death of You Haibiao, and they even included Beihai College."
Shang Xia said "Huh" and said, "It's indeed a bit strange. What's my uncle's attitude? Is there anything going on in the family?"
Yan Qi thought for a while and said: "Since returning to the family, the family leader has been living in seclusion unless someone comes to visit. Well, on the third day after returning to the family, which is August 29th, the family leader personally went to Tongyou Academy. After returning, the family began to send some clan members who were involved in the art of formation to the academy."
Shang Xia nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Yan Qi was silent for a moment, and then said after careful consideration: "Sir, the current students from the third house of Tongyou Academy are being bullied a bit miserably by the warriors from the other four major academies."
