"Spiritual power and divine consciousness, are these two immortal methods really something that can be achieved through martial arts?"
Thinking of his speculation on how to open the jade piece, Lu Yuan was a little confused for a moment.
He has reached the first-class level, but he still has no idea about things like spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.
Is it true that only in the innate realm can spiritual power and spiritual consciousness be born?
Not even an innate grandmaster.
You have to wait until you reach the realm of a great master above the innate world before spiritual consciousness can be born, or similar divine soul power can appear.
But how long will it take to wait for that day?
Lu Yuan calculated his current cultivation progress...
Fifty years? a hundred years?
Although he has cultivated to the middle-level internal power realm, he is only six meridians away from the higher innate realm.
But for Lu Yuan, breaking through the meridians was just the simplest dilemma. The bigger problem was how to get the next step.
But higher mental skills are undoubtedly in the hands of stronger people.
It is extremely difficult to seize the mind from someone stronger than yourself, and it is even a matter of seeking death.
Therefore, how to plot the mind-stealing method became a thing that hindered Lu Yuan from becoming more powerful.
"The most powerful person in Dongting County is undoubtedly the innate master of the imperial court. This person must have innate skills in his hands, but trying to obtain them from him is tantamount to wishful thinking.
In addition to this person, the imperial court also has three first-rate masters in Dongting County.
But these three people all have mediocre reputations in the world, and they are not very outstanding among the first-class masters. Thinking about the techniques they have learned, they are not much better.
As for the local Jianghu forces in Dongting County, there are five that have first-class heritage.
But among these five families, four have average strength, not even as good as the Iron Sword Sect in Yuzhang County, and their inheritance is of little use to me.
The remaining family is the Five Poison Sect.
The Five Poison Sect has been passed down for a long time, and it is said that there is a secret method that directly points to the innate nature, although no one has been able to confirm it.
But even if there is no innate secret technique, there must be some top-level martial arts that can be practiced.
But this Five Poison Sect..."
Lu Yuan and the Five Poison Sect had a lot of interactions, and they also had grudges.
But when he thought of the four first-class masters of the Five Poison Sect, no matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, they all disappeared.
Whether it was the Innate Grandmaster or the Five Poison Sect, to Lu Yuan, they were both beings that he could not afford to offend.
In fact, some other first-rate forces in other counties also have the inheritance of top-notch skills.
However, those forces are either the Xiantian sect or the Five Poison Sect. If you want to obtain the inherited skills from them, it will be very difficult.
Even if it were possible, it would still be a huge risk.
This was unacceptable to Lu Yuan.
"Is it really the only way to create your own exercises in the end?"
Lu Yuan had this idea in his mind.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, creating his own technique seemed to be the safest and most appropriate way for him.
It just takes a longer time, maybe hundreds of years, to develop a top-notch technique.
Ordinary people naturally cannot afford it.
But for Lu Yuan, there was really no problem.
Time is the cheapest thing for an immortal.
"Just wait."
Although his heart has been shaken, Lu Yuan still has not completely made up his mind: "Now we can make some preparations to create our own skills, but if possible, it is better to seize the existing skills.
Nowadays, troubled times have begun, and all kinds of opportunities are plentiful.
If Li Xiong can become an innate master through robbery, I can do the same.
There's no rush anyway, just wait and see if there's a chance. "
At this moment, Lu Yuan planned to use his strengths to survive.
Anyway, his lifespan is unlimited, so even if he wastes decades without waiting for the opportunity, it doesn't matter to him.
Starting to create your own exercises now is almost the same as creating your own exercises decades later.
…
Just when Lu Yuan was about to take his time, time continued to pass outside.
It's winter now, and it's snowing heavily. It's not the busy time for farming.
So local warriors from all over the country began to conduct military training under the call of the government. In every village, town, and city, large groups of adult men could be seen gathering. Then, under the scoldings of the officers and soldiers, they crudely learned the art of fighting in the military formation. .
Although he has completely let go, Lu Yuan occasionally practices, and when he is tired, he will go outside to inspect, but every time he goes out and comes back, he can't help but shake his head in his heart.
The foundation of those country warriors is too poor.
No matter how hard you practice, your final achievements will be limited. Not to mention the current practice of three days drying the net and two days fishing.
After being completely disappointed with these local heroes, Lu Yuan stopped caring about these things.
When the sky falls, there is a tall person holding it up.
If a foreign enemy really came, the regular troops of the imperial court would naturally be there to stop them.
If he really couldn't stop him, it was his turn, so what else could he say, so he naturally took Brother Sun and ran away with him.
Anyway, it didn't matter to Lu Yuan whether the Yue Kingdom perished or not. He had never thought of being buried with such a mortal dynasty.
As for whether Brother Sun is willing?
As a first-rate master, Lu Yuan felt that the opinion of a weak scholar was not important.
Therefore, after being completely exhausted, Lu Yuan would either practice martial arts or go to Sun Siwen for a party when he was tired.
But after going there a few times, he didn't want to go again.
Every time I see this guy and his new wife making love, the happiness on his face is really annoying.
Lu Yuan was deeply hit, so he had to go to Xiaofengxuan in the city to continue being his teacher to comfort his injured soul.
The fulfilling and leisurely days are spent slowly like this.
It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
The new year is about to arrive.
In time for the New Year, perhaps because they wanted to send a congratulatory gift to the Holy One, the Pingnan army, which had been fighting in southern Xinjiang for three years, took advantage of the new year to send a good news.
He claimed that he had conquered the Kingdom of Jinghai and conquered Longbian City, the capital of the country. The leader of the Kingdom of Jinghai burned himself to death in the palace when the city was destroyed.
Even the innate grandmaster of the Jinghai Kingdom who protected the country was besieged by the two innate grandmasters of the Southern Expedition Army and was killed in the army.
The capital of the country was destroyed and the master died.
These two blows completely shattered Jinghai Country's idea of resistance. The remaining prefectures and counties in the country soon surrendered one after another under the threat of the army.
"At this point, the Jinghai Kingdom was destroyed. The emperor ordered that the Jinghai Kingdom be changed to Jiuzhen County, and nine prefectures were established in its homeland, under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
One hundred thousand troops marched south, leaving 50,000 to guard the southern border. Wu Pinghou Xie Ning, the deputy commander of the southern march, was the first captain of Jiuzhen County and led the army to stabilize the new territory.
The remaining 50,000 troops, led by Wu'an Hou Bai Mengyang, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army, headed for the county after renovating during the New Year, preparing to launch a war to destroy Shu next spring.
When Marquis Wu'an arrives, the fake Shu Li thieves will die. "
In the government office, on the last day before he retired to the government office, Cui Changqing told Lu Yuan the latest news from the court that he had just received, and his whole face was full of excitement.
After Lu Yuan heard the news, he was also very surprised.
He knew why Magistrate Cui was so excited.
The two commanders of the imperial army's southern expedition this time, Wuping Hou Xie Ning and Wu An Hou Bai Mengyang, were both well-known innate masters in the world.
Especially Wu'an Hou Bai Mengyang, it is said that he is also one of the strongest among the innate masters.
This time, the marquis came with his troops, and together with the captain from Dongting County, the two innate masters joined forces, and it was another dream combination of Pingnan's army.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the newly established Western Shu Kingdom is far inferior to the Jinghai Kingdom in terms of national power and the innate emperor Li Xiong.
Therefore, according to the current balance of power, the Western Shu Kingdom, which has only been established for a year, may be destroyed by the end of next year.
Once the Western Shu Kingdom was destroyed, the last rebellion in Dayue was put to rest.
Even then, the war between Dai Viet and Liang Guo may also stop.
Calculated in this way, from the time when Jinghai Kingdom provoked the war in the 28th year of Longqing to the end of the war next year. Not only did Dai Viet not lose any territory, but it destroyed the Kingdom of Tranquility and opened up another county. The country's territory changed from eight counties to nine counties.
If we ignore that six of the nine counties were reduced to scorched earth, then from a bright perspective, Dai Viet can almost be said to be at the peak of its martial arts and its dynasty is resurrected.
With such a renaissance situation, all capable people with lofty ideals who yearn for Vietnam will naturally feel extremely happy.
"With Marquis Wu'an leading the troops, the Shu thieves will soon be dead this time."
Seeing Cui Changqing's excitement, Lu Yuan also echoed. At the same time, I was also glad in my heart. Fortunately, I had resisted the temptation before and did not follow in the rebellion.
Otherwise, the captain in the county would have been a nightmare. At this time, if another Marquis of Wu'an comes, he will really be dead.
…
The news of the imperial court's attack on Jinghai Kingdom soon spread to various places as the government publicized it.
Needless to say.
From the gentry to the common people, everyone was very excited about it.
In recent years, Dai Viet's power has been declining, and local unrest has been frequent, which has seriously threatened public security and order in various places, and has made many people feel uneasy.
Along with the turmoil and war, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes also increased, making many people breathless.
Now that one of the three major battlefields between China and North Korea has ended, the war has subsided, which will undoubtedly give many people a sigh of relief.
The imperial court can also mobilize more forces to slowly deal with the Western Shu bandits and the northern Xinjiang war, and solve these disasters.
Things are developing in a good direction, and everyone will have more hope for life, so they will naturally be happy.
But everything in the world is always relative.
Some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.
With the destruction of the Jinghai Kingdom, news came that the imperial court's Pingnan army was about to be transferred north to attack the Western Shu Kingdom.
In Dongting County, an undercurrent is also surging.
…
The Valley of All Poisons.
As the main altar of the Five Poison Sect, there is a quiet deep pool deep in the valley.
This deep pool, even within the Five Poison Sect, is classified as a forbidden area. Except for the highest-ranking leader and guardians in the sect, even the elders below cannot approach it.
Such a mysterious place naturally arouses the curiosity of countless believers.
But no matter how curious they were, they did not dare to violate the canon rules and go in to explore.
In addition to the canon punishment for disobeying instructions, this is the highest punishment in the school, in addition to being devoured by all kinds of poison. There is also a reason why everyone who goes into the deep pool never comes out.
The emphasis within the sect and the mysterious legends have made this deep pool a taboo. No one wants to mention it, and no one dares to mention it.
Today, this taboo in the hearts of the Five Poison Cult members welcomed three visitors.
The leader of the Five Poisons, Lan Zhaoyun, led his left and right guardians on the deep path, through the dense jungle, and towards the depths of the valley.
There are heavy shadows of trees on both sides, and among the dense leaves, rustling sounds can be heard from time to time.
Walking on the road, these three top leaders of the Five Poison Sect could clearly feel the countless cold eyes staring at them from the shadows of the jungles on both sides.
These eyes are restless and fierce, as if they contain countless violence, and they want to pounce on them and tear them apart at any time.
But every time they were about to become restless, a burst of extremely dull fragrance floated out from the three of them and broke into the secluded forest.
As the fragrance appeared, the restless eyes in the forest began to retreat, as if they were disgusted and afraid of this fragrance.
But every time they retreated a certain distance, after leaving the scope of the fragrance, these eyes got rid of the emotion of disgust and fear, and came up again, and then were forced back by the fragrance again.
It goes on and on like this, as if it never gets tired.
These eyes are so persistent that they want to tear anyone who breaks into this forest into pieces.
"The holy insects in the All Saints' Forest have become more and more fierce and difficult to control."
Guardian Zuo is responsible for the external affairs of the church. He travels around the world all year round and rarely returns to the church on weekdays. And even if they return, they usually report the affairs to the leader and then leave in a hurry.
Therefore, I have not been to the place in front of me, which is called the Forest of All Saints in the church, for more than ten years.
At this time, I came here again and saw the holy insects in the forest becoming more ferocious than before. I couldn't help but sigh: "Even the aura of us who have practiced the Ten Thousand Saint Art can't suppress these holy insects." It’s vicious.”
The legend about the deep pool in the valley that never returns comes from the Halloween bugs in the forest, or the thousands of poisonous bugs.
Anyone who breaks into the forest will be attacked by thousands of poisonous insects inside.
The poisonous insects here are also extremely powerful. Even the top masters in the martial arts world will inevitably die of being eaten by thousands of insects if they fall into a swarm of poisonous insects.
A place like this is naturally a forbidden area.
The Right Protector next to him listened and couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "That's right. Left Protector, you have spent less time in Islam and rarely come to the All Saints Forest, so you don't know much about the mutations of the holy insects.
Let me tell you, the last time I entered this forest alone, those holy insects actually forced me to within three feet of me.
The aura of the Wan Sheng Gong that was so close to me was almost unable to suppress these holy insects, and they almost got close to me.
I always feel that in a few years, the holy insects in the forest will become more powerful. Even those of us who have reached the first level in practicing the Ten Thousand Saints Art will probably be attacked by these holy insects. "
The Ten Thousand Sacred Techniques mentioned by the two guardians are the supreme mental techniques of the Five Poison Sect that have been passed down for thousands of years.
In the Five Poison Sect, except for the leader, the Holy Girl, the Holy Son, and the left and right guardians, no one else can practice.
The core concept of this skill is to refine the Halloween, which is what outsiders call thousands of poisonous insects, into the body, and finally build the body of the Halloween that is invulnerable to all poisons.
After gathering all the poisons, the Ten Thousand Saints Kung Fu will be completed, and the person who practices the technique will become a body of ten thousand poisons, and the poisonous energy will accompany them when they breathe and move.
Legend has it that at this level, even a single hair from the Ten Thousand Poison Body can poison a strong cow to death. A drop of blood can poison a whole village to death.
The whole person has turned into the most poisonous thing in the world.
And when a person becomes such a poisonous thing, he naturally begins to become inhuman.
Because of this, rumors began to spread in the world that the Ten Thousand Saints Art of the Five Poison Sect could be cultivated to the innate state.
The source is this poisonous body.
"Okay, the holy insects in the All Saints' Forest have become more powerful. This is due to the accumulation and careful cultivation that our religion has spent hundreds of years on.
Now the saint has broken through the innateness and begun to cultivate the body of the saint.
When the body refining is complete, the all-sage poison in this forest will be refined into the body.
By then, the holy insects here will naturally be gone. There is no need to worry that your skills cannot suppress the holy insects. "
Lan Zhaoyun, the leader from the front, couldn't help but turn his head and scold him when he heard the conversation of his subordinates.
After hearing this, the guardians on the left and right nodded their heads, said no more, and walked on quietly.
In silence, the three of them soon passed through the deep forest.
After passing the forest, you will see a deep pool, about three feet wide and bottomless.
Looking around, I saw steam rising in the deep pool, and mist steaming on the surface of the pool.
Under the deep pool, I saw poisonous insects that changed their color, such as centipedes, spiders, poisonous snakes, toads, lizards, poisonous ants, poisonous wasps, bugs...etc., you can name them, or you can't. The poisonous insects with names are all soaked in the deep pool.
In addition to the poisonous insects soaked in the pool, outside the deep pool, a large number of poisonous insects also emerged from the dense forest from time to time, and then fell into the deep pool without hesitation.
Seeing this scene of thousands of insects entering the pond, even Lan Zhaoyun, the three guys who are good at playing with poisonous insects, couldn't help but have their eyelids twitch wildly.
Although this was not the first time he saw this scene, Lan Zhaoyun couldn't help but feel frightened every time he saw it.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, then looked at the girl floating on the deep pool, and said: "Cai'er."
On the surface of the pool, the girl's legs sitting cross-legged were immersed in the pool. An invisible force came from the soles of her feet, attracting the poison of all the insects in the pool.
These poisonous powers entered the girl's body along the palms of her hands, and immediately dyed her feet into colorful colors. Then this color flowed through the body along the meridians, turning the girl's whole body into various colors. .
At this time, the girl heard the call, her frowning eyebrows slightly opened, her eyes looked into the distance, and when she saw the person coming, a colorful face that was corroded by various poisons showed a smile: "Abba. "
The sound is as crisp as the cry of an oriole, and it is really moving.
But the guardians behind Lan Zhaoyun felt chills in their hearts when they looked at the saint's face.
Although I know that the appearance of the saint at this time is just a manifestation of the alienation during the practice. After the body of the saint is completed, she will return to her former beauty.
But at this moment, I have to say that it looks really breathtaking.
