As night fell, the full moon hung high in the sky, and under the bright moonlight, the Xiao Mansion seemed extremely quiet and peaceful.
At this time, in a room deep in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Muyang was sitting on the bed, taking off the jade pendant hanging around his neck, looking at it carefully, as if he wanted to find the mystery.
"Dad said the answer was in the jade pendant, so he wasn't lying to me." Xiao Muyang whispered, but he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. Since dad knew there was a secret in the jade pendant, why didn't he tell him earlier?
Moreover, why not just teach him how to unlock the secret and let him explore it on his own?
What is so special about this jade pendant?
"Since ancient times, to activate treasures, most of them require external stimulation. Why not try burning them with fire?" Xiao Muyang murmured to himself, then he reached for the candle beside him and placed the jade pendant on the candle to burn.
However, after a while, the jade pendant did not change. Obviously, this method was not feasible.
"This won't work."
After that, he tried beating, soaking in water and other methods, but there was no response. The material of the jade pendant seemed to be very special, as if it was impervious to water and fire, and its shape could not be changed no matter what method was used.
"What should we do?" Xiao Muyang couldn't help but frown, and his expression suddenly froze. A thought flashed in his mind, and he thought of a method that had been recorded in many ancient books.
Blood sacrifice!
Many treasures can only be opened with blood.
Thinking of this, he cut his finger without hesitation, and the blood dripped on the jade pendant. In an instant, the blood penetrated into the jade pendant, causing the color of the jade pendant to gradually change from cyan to bright red, turning into a piece of blood jade, revealing the An enchanting beauty.
"Changed!" Xiao Muyang stared at the jade pendant in his hand, and his heart beat faster. It seemed that he succeeded.
I saw small lines on the jade pendant quickly revealed. Those lines formed together like an ancient totem. There was a dazzling light flowing on the totem, making people unable to take their eyes away.
I saw that the ancient totem suddenly rushed out of the jade pendant, expanded crazily, and turned into a peerless monster, standing proudly in the void, extremely majestic.
The next moment, dazzling rays of divine light bloomed from the huge body, penetrating the space, as if isolating the room from the outside world. All movements happening inside could not be detected from the outside.
Then, the big demon stepped forward, and infinite divine flowers hung down from his body. At this time, Xiao Muyang seemed to be bathed in divine light, his temperament seemed particularly outstanding, and his whole body exuded a sacred and extraordinary aura.
However, at this time, Xiao Muyang's head was shaking violently, his vision was blurred, his brain stopped thinking, and then he passed out directly in the divine flower, unable to see the shocking picture in front of him.
Wisps of sacred light poured into Xiao Muyang's body, flowing through the meridians throughout his body, erasing all other powers.
No one knew that Xiao Muyang's meridians were being wildly widened at a speed visible to the naked eye. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was rushing through his meridians and bones, making a rushing sound, as if the spiritual energy was jumping for joy.
After an unknown period of time, the light of the ancient totem in the void gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a shadow and merged into Xiao Muyang's body, and the sacred light in the room also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
…………
Early the next morning, warm sunshine fell from the sky on the land of Qingzhou City, awakening all living creatures.
Xiao Muyang finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he felt that his head was extremely heavy and his whole body was extremely sore. He seemed to have had a long dream and experienced many things in the dream, but his memory was a little blurry. He didn't know what happened. What.
At a certain moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and immediately looked inside his body. When he saw the wide meridians, his body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with a touch of ecstasy.
The spiritual energy travels in the body and enters the various veins in the limbs, flowing like a river without any obstruction.
This means that he can practice!
"Although I am at the first level of the body training realm, my meridians seem to be wider than those of ordinary people at the third level of the body training realm!" Xiao Muyang felt the condition in his body, and the joy on his face became more intense.
The path to martial arts begins with physical training.
People with ordinary physiques can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth at the age of eight, absorb the spiritual energy into the body, and let the spiritual energy flow continuously in the body's limbs and bones. This can achieve the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life, thus starting martial arts practice. The road to becoming a warrior in the body-forging realm.
However, the body-forging realm has been divided into nine smaller realms by the world, which are called the nine-level body-forging realm.
The first level of Qi Condensation absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the body, allowing it to flow through the limbs and bones, tempering the meridians and bones.
The second to fifth levels are respectively to open the pulse, train the muscles, train the bones, and train the internal organs.
After that, there are three realms: soul fusion, spirit control, and separation.
The ninth level of the Body Forging Realm is called the Awakening Realm. It awakens the innate destiny soul and is as strong as a dragon. Only those who step into this realm can be regarded as a true warrior, and they are fundamentally different from ordinary people.
Xiao Muyang has only reached the first level of Qi Condensation in the Body Forging Realm, but he is already very happy about it. After all, he was previously considered to have a congenital defect and it was impossible for him to embark on the path of cultivation.
As long as you can practice cultivation, there is hope.
"If Gu Xing knows this news, he will definitely be very happy." Xiao Muyang thought to himself, leaving the room with a bright smile on his face.
After a while, Xiao Muyang came to a separate courtyard and saw a tall figure walking over.
That figure is also a young man, with a slightly stern expression and a serious expression. If it weren't for the childishness of a young man on his face, no one would believe that he is not yet fifteen years old.
This young man's name is Gu Xing. He is a loyalist of the Xiao family and a friend who grew up with Xiao Muyang. In addition, he also has the identity of being the number one genius in Qingzhou City.
"Gu Xing, I can practice now!" Xiao Muyang looked at Gu Xing and said with a smile.
Gu Xing's eyes suddenly froze there, as if he felt unbelievable. He had been waiting for this day for nine years!
Everyone believed that Xiao Muyang was destined to be an ordinary person and unable to practice, but he firmly believed that one day, that persistent and proud young man would shine with his own light. Now, this day has finally arrived.
"What's going on?" Gu Xing asked curiously, why can he suddenly practice?
"Dad told me that the jade pendant contains the answer to my inability to practice. I seemed to have found the answer last night. When I woke up today, I found that I can practice. Unfortunately, I have forgotten what happened last night, so I don’t even know what’s going on.”
Xiao Muyang had a wry smile on his face. All this seemed too bizarre, making people feel a little unreal, like a dream.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, as long as the final result is good." Gu Xing scratched his head and said with a smile, "We can finally practice together in the future!"
Looking at the honest and sincere smile on Gu Xing's face, Xiao Muyang also laughed. It was probably only in front of him that this genius from Qingzhou City would show such an expression.
"Let's go." Xiao Muyang said and walked outside.
"Where to go?" Gu Xing looked stunned.
"Heifengshan, practice with me." A hearty voice came from the front.
"Okay!" Gu Xing grinned, stepped forward, and shot forward as fast as the wind, quickly catching up with Xiao Muyang.
Black Wind Mountain stands twenty miles outside Qingzhou City. Starting from Xiao Mansion, Xiao Muyang and Gu Xing arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain half an hour later.
"You can actually keep up with my speed!" Gu Xing looked at Xiao Muyang in shock, feeling very uneasy in his heart. Even some people at the fourth and fifth levels of the Body Forging Realm might not be able to keep up with the speed he had just now. .
However, Xiao Muyang only entered the first level of the body training realm yesterday, and he just started practicing. How did he do it?
"I don't know what's going on. Maybe this is talent." Xiao Muyang smiled casually.
In fact, he has been different from other people of his age since he was a child. Although he cannot practice cultivation, he has a perception that is many times higher than that of his peers. He can quickly detect even the smallest fluctuations. Moreover, he has a deep understanding of the world between heaven and earth. His spiritual energy also has a strong sense of resonance, but he cannot use it to practice.
He once asked Gu Xing, and Gu Xing said that he did not have such a strong sense of perception, and Gu Xing was the number one genius in Qingzhou City. Even he couldn't do it, and it was naturally impossible for others.
However, only he and Gu Xing knew about this matter. He didn't tell anyone else, not even his father and mother, because he didn't want to give them hope but ultimately let them down.
"You are indeed very talented, better than me." Gu Xing said solemnly, the young man's eyes were extremely serious, as if he had confirmed this matter.
Xiao Muyang glanced at Gu Xing, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He was just talking casually, but this guy actually believed him. Is he so easy to deceive?
"You have to practice hard in the future, otherwise my cultivation will surpass yours before long, and I will have to protect you then." Xiao Muyang stepped forward and patted Gu Xing's shoulder and said proudly, then he took a big step Head towards the mountain.
"You don't want to?" Gu Xing said with a dark face, as if he was very unhappy.
"I'm too lazy to take action. What if you are weaker than me and encounter a powerful enemy?" Xiao Muyang's voice came from the front.
"I die, you live!" Gu Xing said loudly, looking at the figure of the young man in front of him, his face looked particularly solemn, as if he was dealing with an extremely important matter.
If that day comes, he will definitely stand at the front, bear all the storms, and let Xiao Muyang leave safely.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Xiao Muyang's footsteps stopped slightly, as if his heart was touched, and then he shook his head, with a helpless smile on his face.
You idiot, how could I be willing to let you die alone?
If we really encounter danger, we must either live together or die together!
