Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 376 Reactions from all parties

 Hanbei.

 An island in the middle of a lake somewhere in Songzhou.

In the center of the island surrounded by water is a quiet pavilion. A figure sits there silently at the bottom of the pavilion. The whole person looks like a wood-plastic stone sculpture. The stone platforms and tables nearby are covered with a layer of stone visible to the naked eye. The dust had obviously not moved for a long time, but the simple cloth on his body was not stained by dust.

In front of him, there was a knife floating quietly in the void. A knife that looked very simple and seemed to be extremely silent. The blade was thick and had mysterious patterns, but it seemed to be weightless and suspended in the air.

Warriors who have cultivated to the realm of blood exchange are truly transcendent beings. One person is a force, and one person can support a sect like the Qixuan Sect sitting in the state capital. But when it comes to the strongest in the world, Among that group of people, there are only two people in the eleven Hanbei states. One of them is Yuan Hong, the king of Zhenbei, and the other is Tiandao Gongyang Yu.

For these peerless figures who have fully understood the third step of the artistic conception and reached the realm of unity between man and nature, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between them, and there is no public opinion like the list of celebrities and the genealogy of masters. Ranking.

but.

 There is still a rough ranking distinction.

Whether Yuan Hong's strength can rank among the top ten in the world is controversial. Most people think that he is among the top twenty and has difficulty making the top ten. However, Gong Yangyu is recognized as being able to rank among the top five in the world, or even among the top ten. three!

The line of Heavenly Sword he opened up is the ultimate realm of swordsmanship. It brings together all the swordsmanship in the world and finally transforms and sublimates it. It is almost as good as the Heavenly Sword Clan's Heavenly Sword Clan, and it is also one of the top existences in martial arts. .

  But as for where it can be ranked, there is no conclusion, and no one dares to rank it.

Under the stone pavilion, Gong Yangyu, the 'Heavenly Sword' who seemed to have been sitting for several years, finally slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were old and simple. There was no sword accident anywhere on his body, as if he was just an ordinary man. old man chopping firewood.

“Junior Brother Tuoba, are you leaving?”

 After a warrior enters the realm of blood exchange, although he can completely lock his own essence and blood from being lost, as long as he is between heaven and earth, he will inevitably have to interact with heaven and earth, and it is impossible to completely isolate himself from heaven and earth.

“Grinding the skin, training the meat, easing the tendons, forging the bones, refining the internal organs, tempering the bowels, washing the marrow, and exchanging blood.”

 The ripples in Gongyang Yu's eyes gradually calmed down, and he muttered another name.

Originally, he looked like an ordinary and simple old man chopping firewood, but when he held the heavenly sword, the rolling knife on his body was like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens. Although he was only holding the long sword in disguise, he gave people a sense of power. The feeling of splitting the sky.

The reason why practitioners still age after practicing in the blood-transformation realm is that warriors cannot create inner breath out of thin air. As long as they still exist in the world, they will inevitably draw power from the world. Even if they reach the level of 'bigu', they will always breathe in the heaven and earth. Yuan Qi is used to maintain itself, and in the process it will be eroded by some kind of underworld force from heaven and earth.

Perhaps on his deathbed, Tuoba Xi finally understood the meaning of the sword and why he was so rampant.

 The old man sighed softly.

After decades of exploring the martial arts, Gong Yangyu has not found nothing. At least he has two paths in his knowledge.

He stood up slowly and looked in the direction of Bingzhou from a distance, with a ripple in his eyes.

 In fact, he has never regarded Tuoba Xi as an opponent, and has never considered any sword fighting at all. He only follows his own path, and what he practices is only his own sword.

According to Gong Yangyu’s knowledge, the birth of the blood-changing realm has a history of nearly ten thousand years, while the marrow-washing realm cannot be elucidated.

Gong Yangyu murmured.

 Throughout the ages, the most powerful monster in the world is only the tenth level.

The biggest problem here is not that there is any lack of talent, but that there is a lack of direction for reference, because after reaching the unity of heaven and man in the blood exchange realm, it will be the pinnacle of the world, enough to rival those tenth-level peerless heavenly monsters. .

If a warrior can do it, let Yuan Qi grow on its own and form a world of its own, then maybe it can work.

 As the saying goes, if you don’t fight with your husband, you can’t fight with him.

but.

　　The ancients could go from skin grinding and finessing to meat training, then to tendons and bone forging... until the final marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, but today's people are unable to find a way to the realm of blood transfusion.

 In these troubled times,

　　It is indeed an extraordinary character.

 He lowered his head and stared at the Heavenly Sword in his hand.

 This is a question that he began to explore decades ago. In other words, most people will explore it when they reach his realm, when they reach the unity of heaven and man, and when they reach the end of the true martial arts.

Tuoba Xi has always had his "Heavenly Sword" in his heart, so he has never been able to cross that step and has been stuck at the master level for more than a hundred years. From the beginning, he has never had Tuoba Xi's "Ultimate Sword" in his heart.

There seemed to be an invisible ripple in the void, and there seemed to be some news in this ripple.

Tuoba Xi has been a hundred and fifty years old. He has ruled the world with his sword, but he has never held on to his own essence. Even though he is a top master, his life span is naturally only the same as that of ordinary masters. And he, Gongyang Yu, has entered the After entering the realm of blood exchange, his lifespan will naturally be much longer, but the Heavenly Sword he practices is an extremely domineering and rampant way, and he does not pay attention to health preservation, so his lifespan is only more than two hundred years at most.

But Ji Hao spent his whole life and failed to explore the ninth realm of martial arts.

His sword intention was not directed at Chen Mu, because Tuoba Xi did not die at Chen Mu's hands, but died at the end of his life. He died at the end of his life. He died at a lifespan that mortals cannot violate. Gongyang Yu was also commonplace before the years.

 Suddenly.

 First, it is to form the heaven and earth on its own, allowing the inner breath to arise on its own.

 Gong Yangyu gently raised his hand and held the heavenly sword floating in the air, which had frightened the world for more than a hundred years. The moment he took the sword into his hand, his whole aura suddenly changed.

 As long as there is contact with this world, as long as it is still flesh and blood, it will gradually lose its activity as the years go by, and eventually it will reach the end of its life.

The road after the blood exchange should lead to true immortality, but the peerless demons of the tenth level also have a lifespan, and they cannot live forever in the world. They will also age and die one day, so there is nothing to be found from them. direction.

Tuoba Xi came from the same sect as his master. When he was young, he always competed with him. They competed with each other in everything. They also won the battles, but in the path of swordsmanship, they never surpassed him by half. Step by step, always below him.

 Gongyang Yu looked up at the sky.

 In the past ten thousand years, the only breakthrough in the martial arts was the birth of the Way of Qiankun and the appearance of the first person to aspire to the top with the Way of Qiankun, Ji Hao, the founding martial emperor of Daxuan.

Unless the warrior can completely isolate heaven and earth and not have any interaction with heaven and earth, this is a state that Gong Yangyu cannot figure out, because even if the warrior maintains absolute silence and does not move, the heart in the body is beating and the blood is flowing. No matter how slowly you release it, you will still lose Yuan Qi, and the loss must be replenished from heaven and earth.

The eight realms of body-tempering martial arts are never achieved overnight. They were worked out step by step by countless martial arts sages. It is a process that is constantly broadened outwards, constantly summarized by others, and finally completely established.

 “Even though we have reached this stage of blood exchange, we still cannot resist the erosion of time.”

 “How can martial arts be immortal?”

 “Chen Mu…”

 But how to form a world of its own?

 Gongyang Yu can't find the direction.

Even though he could think of the Tao of "Qian Kun" that encompasses everything in the world, Ji Hao, who was in charge of the Qian Kun, was not able to do this, which shows that it is not possible to simply comprehend the Qian Kun and use the Qian Kun to enter the Tao.

 Second, the body is integrated with heaven and earth.

A warrior begins to cultivate the internal organs and gradually integrates the heaven and the earth. When he reaches the marrow-cleansing state and breaks through the mysterious entrance, he then exchanges blood and communicates inside and outside the country. The entire practice is a process of constantly adapting to the power of heaven and earth.

Since it is difficult to isolate oneself from heaven and earth, the other way is to completely integrate with heaven and earth, and let the flesh and blood body be completely transformed into a body condensed by the power of heaven and earth. From then on, it will be separated from the category of flesh and blood, and the essence of heaven and earth will be the same. Naturally, It will not decay.

 But this road is also difficult.

When a warrior reaches the realm of blood exchange, it seems that his whole body has been completely tempered by the power of heaven and earth. However, after tempering and completely transforming into the essence of heaven and earth, they are completely different things. Just like when practicing in the five internal organs realm, the more tempering times, the The harder it is.

 The more you want to reach the limit, the harder it will be.

Although now, the martial blood flowing in his body is almost transformed into the pure power of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth condensed in the martial blood accounts for almost 90% of its essence, but this last 10% wants to be tempered. , but it is difficult!

In Gong Yangyu's view, the concept of tempering the martial body to the extreme, to the point where it is completely composed of the power of heaven and earth from the inside out, blending heaven and earth, and completely separated from flesh and blood, is actually an incredible concept. realm.

but. Compared with the self-contained world of the first road, this second road is after all less mysterious and can actually be seen. It’s just how to walk it and how to get through it. He has gained so far. Very few.

Gong Yangyu looked up at the sky, and the sword intent on his body gradually calmed down.

“Can you enter the realm of blood exchange?”

 The name Chen Mu rose in his heart.

The only progress in martial arts in the past ten thousand years is the birth of the Tao of Qiankun, but there are too few people who have taken this road. So far, there is only Ji Hao, the founding martial emperor of Daxuan, and he is still a figure from more than a thousand years ago. He cannot compete with him. On the Road.

As for those Qiankun Grandmasters who cannot even enter the realm of blood exchange, they are naturally far from reaching the limit they have reached, and they are even less likely to be of any help to the martial arts he pursues. From the perspective of vision, they are on a completely different level.

 Chen Mu,

 Can you enter the realm of blood exchange?

 In the future, can we discuss the end of martial arts with him?

 …

Yu County.

 After many years, the outer city is still chaotic.

Many years ago, when Chen Mu was still in Yu County, the chaos in the outer city was due to the quarrel between the four major families in the inner city. Their influence extended to every corner of the outer city, resulting in constant disputes between gangs.

 This is still the case today.

Although the four major families have long become history, the presence of many sects such as Tianyin Sect and Hehuan Sect has made the situation in Yu County complicated. For many people, the water is deeper than before, and they have to be more cautious in their actions.

 After all, an incident in the past would only involve the four major families at that time, but now it is possible that the connection will be broken along the way, and eventually a large sect will be involved, which is far beyond the reach of the four major families back then.

 Inner city.

 The residence of the Yu family.

Today, the Yu family is the undisputed number one family in Yu County. Even in just a few years, when it comes to the family's descendants and their apparent power, it is still not as good as the Xue family that once controlled half of the county. But when it comes to Due to the hidden background, both the Xue family and the Xie family have to stay away, and even those sect forces will hesitate to touch the Yu family.

 Because there is a big mountain behind the current Yu family, and the name of that mountain is Chen Mu.

The elder of the Qixuan Sect, the master of the Lingxuan Peak, the third person on the Billboard Ranking, Master Qin Mengjun is now one of the two supreme masters of the Qixuan Sect. He is an existence in the blood exchange realm that stands at the pinnacle of martial arts. To ordinary people, he is simply a legendary figure. .

 In a courtyard somewhere.

Yu Jiujiang was leaning on a recliner. His beard and hair were white, his face had more wrinkles, and his blood was weaker. He was almost not as good as some Yijin realm warriors, but his expression was very leisurely and his eyes were easy-going. Holding a cup of tea.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the door, then sat up with a smile and said, "Master Yan, why are you suddenly interested in coming to my place today? Someone has come to prepare tea and take a seat."

 As the words fell.

Not far away, a maid immediately responded respectfully.

The person who walked in from outside the courtyard was wearing the robe of the inspector. It was Yan Jingqing. He looked calm. After entering the courtyard, he did not stop the servants in the courtyard. After several servants moved the chairs, he stood in Yu Jiujiang's room. Sit down opposite.

She didn't say anything for a while. After the maid next to her made tea, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Yu Jiujiang looked at Yan Jingqing, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He couldn't figure out what Yan Jingqing's purpose was for a moment, but he was not nervous at all. On the one hand, he was getting old, and on the other hand, the Yu family's current situation Yan Jingqing is no longer as confident as he was in the past. In recent years, Yan Jingqing has even discussed many matters with the Yu family.

certainly.

Yu Jiujiang knew very well that the source of all this was the existence of Chen Mu.

　　　…”

After Yan Jingqing finished drinking the tea, he suddenly sighed.

This sigh made Yu Jiujiang feel inexplicably. After all, he was very familiar with Yan Jingqing's temperament. He always went to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. He came here today because something big must have happened, and with this weird attitude and appearance , and it made him vaguely think of many bad things.

“But what happened to Chen Mu?”

Yu Jiujiang looked at Yan Jingqing and asked tentatively.

It's not surprising that he immediately thought of Chen Mu. If it was something that was not related to Chen Mu, he wouldn't let Yan Jingqing come to the door in person. He even bypassed Yu Zuyi and came directly to him.

“I asked casually at the beginning, but I never thought that it would turn out to be a prophecy... No, it’s too early to say so, but in just a few years, it’s like a dream.”

Yan Jingqing didn't answer the question. For a moment, his tone seemed to be sighing, and he seemed to be in a trance.

Just when Yu Jiujiang was confused, he saw Yan Jingqing gently raising his hand, and a page of information letter fell in front of Yu Jiujiang.

Yu Jiujiang raised his hand and took it.

After taking a closer look, the whole person was suddenly shocked, as if he had seen some fantastic news.

"this…"

Looking at Yu Jiujiang's shocked expression, Yan Jingqing closed his eyes slightly, but he recalled that a few years ago, he asked Chen Mu how to calm down the troubled times.

  Chen Mu’s answer was that perhaps there should be another figure like the founding king of Daxuan, a peerless martial sage.

 The words spoken back then are still clear to this day.

What is unimaginable is that, less than ten years have passed since then, but Chen Mu acted on his will, and quietly, he was only one step away!

 “This information…”

It took Yu Jiujiang a long time to recover from the shock. Although he knew in his heart that the information Yan Jingqing gave him would not be false, he still couldn't help but ask one more question.

 After all, the content of this information is really shocking.

“The information is correct.”

Yan Jingqing sighed with a sigh.

 “This is really…”

Yu Jiujiang looked at it carefully a few more times before looking away. He didn't know how many words came out, but he didn't know which one to say. Finally, he smiled bitterly.

 Originally, the Yu family has been prospering in recent years because of Chen Mu. Although he felt that the end of his life was getting closer and closer, he had long been at peace in his heart and died without regrets.

  Can produce results.

Things will always be unexpected.

If he dies at this time, he will definitely die with tension and regret, because he cannot see whether Chen Mu in the future can take the step to the pinnacle of martial arts.

 After all, once the Dao of Heaven and Earth has passed the Marrow Cleansing Realm, there is really only one step away from becoming the world leader!
