Wudang Mountain, Zhenwu Hall.
This is the place where Wudang holds some important meetings or decisions on weekdays. It is one of the landmark buildings of Wudang Mountain.
At this time, the hall was full of seats, and all the high-level officials of Wudang Mountain were here.
But Song Yuanqiao, the original head of Wudang, can now only occupy the second position on the left.
Sitting on the main seat is Zhang Sanfeng, who is tall but has an air of immortality and extraordinary bearing.
Since the Wudang incident and the fall of Mu Daoren, Zhang Sanfeng has also become aware of some problems in Wudang.
In his opinion, it is only natural and right for Song Yuanqiao, as his close disciple, to take charge of the Wudang Sect, and it is also in line with the rules of the martial arts.
But he ignored that in addition to his direct disciples, the Wudang Sect also had many famous elders of his generation.
Song Yuanqiao might not be able to suppress these Dao sect seniors. After all, no one wants to let a junior whose strength and reputation are not as good as theirs get on top of them.
So after leaving seclusion this time, Zhang Sanfeng decided to regain power and take advantage of this period to teach some of his direct disciples about the martial arts and help Song Yuanqiao re-establish his prestige to avoid similar situations from happening in the future.
The most important thing for a sect is unity.
And the effect of these few days is also very significant.
The impact of Mu Taoist's apostasy and fall has been basically eliminated. Zhang Sanfeng often discussed Taoism with the elders of his generation, gradually dispelling their concerns and dissatisfaction.
Everything is moving in a better direction.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit serious.
"Master, there are rumors everywhere in the world these days. We, the Wudang Sect, have defected to the imperial court. They say that you and the imperial court's Xichangchang Gongyu transformed the fields, and they sat in Wudang and talked happily. These rumors are very harmful to us."
Song Yuanqiao looked at Zhang Sanfeng on the main seat and said seriously.
The faces of the other elders and senior officials were also a little solemn.
Ever since the battle at Wudang Mountain, some rumors suddenly appeared in the world, saying that the reason why Zhang Sanfeng did not kill Yu Huatian and invited him to Wudang for discussion was because the Wudang sect had already secretly defected to the imperial court. The incident that happened in Wudang Mountain was secretly planned by the imperial court and Wudang a long time ago. The purpose was to lure out the remnants of those forces and catch them all.
In short, the Wudang faction helped the emperor to do evil and became a pawn for the imperial court to seize those Jianghu forces that were against the imperial court.
And during this period of time, these rumors became more and more intense, and even once overshadowed the Xichang Chang Gong Yu Hua Tian in the limelight in the world.
As these rumors spread, various sects in the world began to alienate Wudang, intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, these days, Wudang is rebuilding its strongholds at the foot of the mountain and wants to ask some local forces for help, but all the forces are looking for excuses to shirk, and no one is helping.
This situation is very unfavorable to Wudang.
Zhang Sanfeng obviously didn't care about this, he said calmly:
"Let's just say it. If we have the mouth to speak to others, how can we care about what others say?"
"Furthermore, it is a fact that Pindao and this little friend from the imperial court are discussing Taoism. What is there to argue about?"
Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao frowned and said: "But Master, once our Wudang Sect is considered to have surrendered to the imperial court, we will inevitably face a situation where we will become enemies of the entire world, which will affect our Wudang's status in the martial arts world..."
"shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Song Yuanqiao with a sharp look and shouted sternly:
"When did your teacher teach you to stop caring about these false reputations?"
"You have to remember that my position in the world of Wudang is not given by anyone!"
"Whether they respect it or not, we just have to do what we should do!"
"As for what outsiders think, that's their business. As long as I, Wudang, have a clear conscience, behave upright, and stand upright, I don't need to care about what others think!"
Song Yuanqiao's expression changed slightly, he quickly lowered his head and said:
"Yes, Master. Disciple knows his mistake!"
Zhang Sanfeng's face was serious, his stern eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and he said in a deep voice:
"I hope you all will also remember that I, Wudang, am an orthodox Taoist sect. Whatever I do, I only need to abide by my heart and not tarnish the reputation of my Taoist sect."
"As for outsiders thinking that I, Wudang, have defected to the imperial court?"
"I, Wudang, live in the Ming Dynasty. I am a martial arts sect in the Ming Dynasty. How can I join the martial arts sect of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The reason why Pindao stayed with little friend Yuhuatian in the West Factory to discuss Taoism in Wudang was because little friend Yuhuatian had a favor for rebuilding Dai Yan. This is the agreement between Pindao and little friend Yuhuatian."
"One code equals one code. Even if Wudang and I had some misunderstandings and conflicts before, kindness is kindness, and past is past. They should not be confused. Pindao does not want you to discuss this matter anymore!"
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they raised their hands at the same time: "Yes!"
At this time, Taoist Chongxu looked solemn and stepped forward and said:
"Master Master, although I, Wudang, don't care what others say, this rumor has spread throughout the world in just half a month. It is obvious that someone is behind it and is specifically targeting me, Wudang. This matter must be ignored. Defend!"
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly and said in deep thought:
"Although I, Wudang, have some enemies in the world, it is not ruled out that some people do not want to see my Wudang sect, and deliberately spread rumors behind my back, hoping to arouse the rejection and resistance of the major parties to my Wudang. Although Pindao does not care about these false reputations, but I, Wudang, am respected by various factions as the Taishan and Beidou of the martial arts world, so some people will always be jealous."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at everyone and asked:
"If there is really someone behind the scenes who is plotting against me, Wudang, then if this matter is not resolved, it will be a trouble after all. You may have thought, who is plotting this behind the scenes?"
Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao suddenly stood up and said coldly:
"This disciple believes that the Qinglong Society did this!"
Everyone was startled, then looked at each other and nodded, obviously thinking that Qinglong would be very suspicious.
After all, in this Wudang battle, the Qinglong Society wanted to use Wudang's hand to deal with the imperial court, but failed. With the way the Qinglong Society acted, maybe even Wudang now hates them.
Then they will definitely not give up.
"Qinglong Club..."
Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly and agreed with this statement.
But the Qinglong Society is not easy to deal with.
The Qinglong Society has been making trouble in the world for hundreds of years, but their whereabouts are secretive. It's not easy to find their stronghold, so how can we deal with them?
Moreover, the Qinglong Society is huge, especially when the Immortal Swordsman suppressed the world a hundred years ago, the Qinglong Society can almost be regarded as the largest sect in the martial arts world.
In recent years, under the siege and suppression by the imperial court, although its power has declined, it cannot be underestimated.
"Let's leave the matter of dealing with the Qinglong Society to the imperial court."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the palace.
Everyone was startled and looked back, only to see a tall, handsome young man slowly walking into the hall. It was Yu Huatian.
Everyone's eyes flashed.
Compared with half a month ago, Yuhuatian's aura was restrained and his pace was steady. His whole person seemed to have a more stable and profound aura, which was difficult to see clearly.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Yu Huatian who came into the hall, looked at him for a moment, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Junior Yu Huatian has met the real person and all the seniors."
Facing everyone's gaze, Yu Huatian looked calm, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and bowed to everyone in the hall.
And he calls himself a junior.
When everyone saw it, they looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
They still remember Yuhuatian's domineering and arrogant attitude of not taking anyone seriously in front of Wudang Mountain.
This is a man who is proud to the core.
They are still not used to being so polite now.
On the other hand, there was a hint of appreciation in Zhang Sansan's eyes. Such a junior with outstanding martial arts talent and reserved personality was becoming more and more attracted to him.
He nodded slightly towards Yuhuatian and said, "You're welcome, little friend. Have you gained anything now that you are out of seclusion?"
Yuhuatian nodded and did not hide anything, saying:
"Yes, this junior has successfully understood the Tai Chi method taught by the real person, and has successfully transformed the first innate true energy."
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Yes, in just half a month, being able to understand something is already considered an excellent talent..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly felt something was wrong, his eyes suddenly focused, and he said: "What? My little friend has mastered Tai Chi and successfully transformed the first innate true energy?!"
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Yu Huatian smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Yes, Zhenren's Tai Chi way coincides with Yin and Yang, and its essence is profound. It is also thanks to Zhenren's Tai Chi magic that this junior can successfully transform the first innate true energy and officially step into the world. The first step to break through to become a Grandmaster!"
"this……"
Zhang Sanfeng didn't know how to answer, but there was a huge distance in his heart and he was extremely shocked.
Naturally, he would not think that Yuhuatian would lie to him.
But in just half a month, he understood the Tao of Tai Chi. Such martial arts talent and understanding are too shocking!
You know, this Tai Chi magical skill has been a lifetime of hard work, but now it is controlled by a junior who is not as good as him in age and strength in such a short period of time.
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly experienced vicissitudes of life, feeling as if he had been living in a dog's body for hundreds of years...
for a long time.
He sighed in his heart, looked at Yuhuatian again, his eyes were a little complicated, and said:
"My little friend's high talent and strong understanding are indeed rare in the world. Even without the help of Pindao, with my martial arts qualifications, I will be able to take this step sooner or later. So Pindao teaching Tai Chi is just the icing on the cake, little friend Don’t take it to heart.”
Yuhuatian shook his head and said solemnly:
"The kindness of a true preacher will be remembered by the younger generation and will be repaid in the future!"
With that said, Yuhuatian turned around again and gave a slight salute to Song Yuanqiao and others:
"It was my responsibility as a junior. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have done to Wudang and the seniors."
As soon as this sentence came out, it showed that Yuhuatian was willing to reach a reconciliation with Wudang, and the previous grievances were wiped out.
There was more kindness in everyone's eyes, and they all returned the favor:
"Master Yu, you're welcome."
Zhang Sanfeng also smiled slightly and said:
"Congratulations, little friend, for breaking through the shackles of a grandmaster and successfully stepping into the half-step of the grand master realm."
"Half-step Grandmaster?"
Yuhuatian was startled when he heard this. This was the first time he heard about this realm.
When Zhang Sanfeng saw this, he was suddenly enlightened and immediately explained:
"My little friends don't know that all warriors who transform from acquired to innate to become a great master can only be called a real great master if all their true energy is transformed into innate true energy. During the transformation period before this, they are collectively called As a half-step grandmaster, he has already broken away from the scope of the grandmaster realm."
Yuhuatian nodded, then his eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said:
"This junior has only a limited understanding of the division of realms at the Grand Master level. Can the real person explain it a little bit?"
Hearing this, everyone else also looked at Zhang Sanfeng with expectant eyes.
Although Wudang is revered as the Taishan Beidou of the northern martial arts world, there is only one great master in the entire Wudang sect, Zhang Sanfeng, and the fallen Mu Tao Ren is the second.
However, Mu Daoren has been hiding his strength even after his breakthrough, and no one knows that he has broken through the Grand Master.
Therefore, except for Zhang Sanfeng, everyone else does not know the difference between those above the Grand Master and those below the Grand Master, nor do they know whether the division of realms above the Grand Master will be different.
Although they are still far away from this realm, it does not affect their curiosity about it.
Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"Forget it, let me take this opportunity to explain to you the difference between a great master and an ordinary warrior."
As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng paused and then began to explain:
"The difference between a Grand Master and a martial artist under a Grand Master is not only the different quality attributes of the True Qi, but also a deeper understanding and application of martial arts. Moreover, through the cultivation of the innate True Qi, the strengthening of the foundation and the cultivation of the Yuan, the longevity of the Grand Master is also different. It will last longer than ordinary warriors."
"This is also one of the benefits of practicing martial arts."
"The life span of ordinary people is basically only between 60 and 80 years old. You can strengthen your body by practicing martial arts. As long as martial arts reaches the acquired realm, you can live for more than a hundred years and die in peace."
"Advancing martial arts to a higher level, developing internal strength, and breaking through the innate realm can add another 10 to 20 years to one's lifespan; breaking through to the master level can add another 30 years or so, and one can almost live to be 150 years old."
"As long as you break through to Grand Master, you can add another 50 years to your life. Depending on the strength of the human body and martial arts level, as long as there are no hidden diseases that affect your life span, almost all Grand Master warriors can live to be between 200 and 300 years old. "
"As for the legendary realm of heaven and man, Pindao has not yet reached this level, so he doesn't know about it, but there were rumors in the world that during the Qin Dynasty's first emperor's time, someone drank the blood of a phoenix and lived forever, and lived for more than a thousand years, becoming a legend in the world. According to martial arts mythology, this person should be a strong man at the level of heaven and man!"
Hearing this, everyone's breathing became heavy and their eyes were extremely fiery.
A great master can live to be three hundred years old, and a powerful celestial being can live for more than a thousand years, and can even live forever.
The journey of martial arts is really incredible!
Is this immortality?
Although cultivating immortals in ancient times has become a myth, immortality has always been the goal pursued by people in the world.
Especially their Taoist lineage is even more persistent about this.
Taoists are inaction, but they are still human beings after all.
Everyone has desires. Who doesn’t want to live longer?
Looking at the heat in everyone's eyes, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and smiled, but did not criticize. If this can make them more motivated to practice, this is also a good thing.
Shaking his head, Zhang Sanfeng continued:
"As for the division of the Grand Master's realm, there is no difference between it and the Grand Master's realm. It's just that the strength of the Grand Masters is so different at each level, so the division is more detailed."
"Grand masters are divided into nine levels. Levels one to three are the early stage of the grand master; levels four to six are the middle stage of the grand master; levels seven to nine are the late stage of the grand master."
"After reaching the ninth level, you will become a great master. When you reach this level, you have understood the way of heaven and earth and are ready to break through to the realm of heaven and man."
"As for how to break through the heavenly beings, Pindao has not yet reached this level, so it is not clear yet."
Grandmaster Ninth Level Realm!
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, he looked at Zhang Sanfeng and asked: "I wonder what level the real person has reached at this moment?"
Zhang Sanfeng did not hide anything: "I am ashamed of myself. I have been practicing for hundreds of years. I have only just broken through the ninth level and have not yet reached perfection."
Grand Master Ninth Level!
Yu Huatian's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he didn't have the urge to attack Zhang Sanfeng that day. Otherwise, it was still unknown whether he could withstand two rounds in his hands based on his current strength.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly and continued:
"The leader of the Money Gang who died under my friend's sword before, Shangguan Jinhong, Pindao met him ten years ago. He had already broken through to the Grand Master level at that time. Ten years later, with his martial arts talent, he should be at the top Between the third and fourth level of Grandmaster.”
"As for Tang Sect's 'Golden Armed Buddha' Tang Song, he should have just broken through to the Grand Master level, and has only reached the first level, and his state should be unstable."
"As for Mu Longzi, who died in my friend's hands a few days ago, he should have only made a breakthrough in the past few years, but his martial arts talent is also very high, and he has already reached the third level of Grand Master!"
Having said this, a hint of guilt and regret appeared in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes again.
In just a few years, he has broken through the third level of the Grand Master level, which shows Mu Longzi's martial arts talent.
It's a pity that he chose to take another evil path, and ultimately brought the blame on himself, becoming a great loss to the Wu-Dang Sect...
Yuhuatian didn't pay attention to Zhang Sanfeng's expression. He was thoughtful at this time.
Half a month ago, I was able to kill Mu Taoist in a fair fight, so my strength should be around the early stage of a grand master, and has not reached the middle stage of a grand master.
But at this time, as he mastered Tai Chi magic, successfully transformed the first innate true energy, and stepped into the half-step grand master realm, if he encountered Shangguan Jinhong again, even if he still couldn't kill him one-on-one, he would never do it again. As embarrassed as last time.
This means that my current strength, if all my cards are used, should be between the third and fourth levels of Grand Master.
Thinking of this, Yuhuatian had a rough understanding of his strength at this time.
Immediately, he looked up at Zhang Sanfeng and asked:
"I wonder if the real person knows the Iron Dan Lord of Hulong Villa?"
Zhang Sanfeng was startled, then nodded:
"know!"
"This man is considered a hero!"
"Twenty years ago, he and the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong rose to fame in the world. Almost no one in the younger generation was their rival. But later, for some unknown reason, the two went from being sworn brothers to turning against each other. Gu Santong was attracted by this The iron-courage god was defeated and imprisoned in a heavenly prison."
"And this iron-gallant god master planned the Battle of Taihu. In this battle, he killed one hundred and eight martial arts masters in one fell swoop and drained all their internal energy."
"This battle shocked the entire world. However, after the battle, the iron-gallant lord withdrew from the world and returned to the capital to found the Dragon Protector Villa. He remained silent for twenty years."
"This iron gall god is extremely talented in martial arts, and his character is incomparable. He also has a power-absorbing technique in his hand that can absorb the inner energy of others and turn it into his own. Twenty years have passed, and if nothing else happens, he has at least reached the level of It has reached the level of a mid-stage grandmaster!"
Mid-term Grand Master!
And it could be even higher!
Yuhuatian's eyes narrowed.
His current strength has barely reached the third to fourth level of a grand master. If Zhu Wuli has reached the middle stage of a grand master, then it will be very difficult for him to get rid of him.
At this moment, he and Zhu Wuwu were almost at odds with each other, and each wanted to get rid of the other.
It's just that Zhu ignored his identity and didn't dare to attack him openly.
Otherwise, if Zhu Ruyi takes action in person, with his current strength, there is no way he can be his opponent!
Yuhuatian took a deep breath and suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He must transform his innate true energy as soon as possible and break through to the Grand Master realm, otherwise he cannot even guarantee his safety.
After suppressing his thoughts, Yu Huatian raised his head to look at Zhang Sanfeng, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts. I am very grateful to you."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly and said: "My friend, you are serious. With my qualifications, sooner or later I will be able to reach the level that Pindao is at now. There will be no priority in learning the Tao, and those who have mastered it will come first. By then, Pindao and my friend will also be friends of the same generation. No need to be too polite.”
"Now is now, and then is later."
Yuhuatian shook his head and said seriously:
"No matter what, I would like to thank the real person for preaching and clarifying my doubts these days. I will keep this feeling and kindness in my heart and I will repay it one day!"
"As for the Qinglong Club that Master just mentioned, you don't need to worry. This Qinglong Club is also the target of the imperial court. Sooner or later, I will find them out and catch them all!"
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng looked a little solemn and said:
"This Qinglong Society is not simple. Not only does it have a long history, but it is also very powerful and complex. It is said that Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the Money Gang who died under my friend's sword before, was one of the previous dragon heads of the Qinglong Society. Apart from him, There must be other great masters in the Qinglong Society, so you must not be careless."
"Thank you, Master, for the advice." Yu Huatian nodded.
Naturally, he will not underestimate the Qinglong Society. After all, it is a force that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has not been completely wiped out. You don't need to think about it to know that it will definitely not be simple.
But since they have become enemies, they will eventually turn into opposites.
There is ample time!
A chill flashed in Yuhuatian's eyes.
Immediately, he looked at Zhang Sanfeng, cupped his hands and said:
"In this case, I will take my leave. I have been bothering Wudang for a long time these days. If the real person and you come to the capital in the future, I will definitely treat you warmly!"
Zhang Sanfeng was startled: "My little friend, aren't you going to break through the Wudang Grandmaster and then return to the capital?"
"No!"
Yu Huatian shook his head: "The true energy that this junior cultivates is quite special. If you want to transform all of it into innate true energy, I'm afraid it won't be possible within a year and a half. Moreover, as the owner of the West Factory, I cannot leave the capital for too long. "
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly and said:
"If you are such a poor person, I won't keep you friends. If you have the opportunity in the future, you are also welcome to come to my Wudang as a guest again."
Yuhuatian held up his hands: "Definitely!"
After saying that, he saluted the senior Wudang elders on both sides, turned around, and strode out of the hall.
Everyone also looked at each other with kind eyes and sent each other away.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Yuhuatian's leaving figure, his eyes flickering, and he sighed in his heart:
"If this son doesn't die midway, he will definitely be the world's martial arts leader one day..."
