I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 735: Rise and Fall, Unfinished Business

Wen Yan watched and followed along, the Fiery Sun Fist of the Sixteenth Ancestor was slightly different from the one handed down from Mount Fuyu.

The first stage is basically the same, but starting from the second stage, the details are obviously different.

After practicing for a while, Wen Yan roughly understood that it might be the version passed down by the Sixteenth Ancestor that had been optimized by him.

Because Wen Yan is now practicing, he can feel that his Yang energy is being rapidly consumed.

The first stage was normal, but the consumption began to increase sharply in the second stage. Of course, this kind of consumption was just a drop in the bucket for Wen Yan.

But starting from the third stage, the consumption rate gave Wen Yan the feeling that it was converting from fixed damage to percentage consumption.

If other disciples were to practice this, I wouldn't dare say the mortality rate is 100%, as that would be too high. But a mortality rate of 99.99% should not be a problem.

After Wen Yan experienced it personally, he understood why the Sixteenth Patriarch personally revised the final version that was circulated.

The current version gave Wen Yan the feeling that it was roughly like having a patient with advanced cancer that had spread throughout the body run a high fever of 42 degrees Celsius for several hours or even longer.

Either the cancer cells are burned to death or the person is burned to death, it's either success or death.

It's just practicing boxing, there's no need to be so extreme, it's even a little weird.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan suddenly understood why the Sixteenth Patriarch was able to beat the black shadow but did not beat the black shadow to death.

Maybe the Sixteenth Ancestor himself is even more evil than the black shadow...

Moreover, he probably looked down on the black shadow.

The false god, which is mainly composed of dark forces, does not even have any evil aura, and its murderous aura is pitifully low.

In the time of the Sixteenth Patriarch, judging by the style of doing things in Fuyu Mountain at that time, people probably truly thought that Black Shadow was pure trash and couldn't make any waves.

Even felt a little disgusted with Wen Yan.

Come to think of it, the thirteenth ancestor was a madman.

There was not too long a period of time between the Thirteenth Ancestor and the Sixteenth Ancestor, and the atmosphere had not yet been reversed, but he immediately came out with a decisive move, doing whatever he said he would do to you, and even a ruthless person who dared to train himself to death.

After the Thirteenth Patriarch, Fuyu Mountain suffered suppression for a long time.

You don't even need to look at the details in the records; you can figure it out just by thinking about it.

Why was the interval between the fourteenth and fifteenth generations of ancestors not too long? To put it bluntly, they were unable to clean up their messes and could not withstand the aftermath of the thirteenth ancestor.

Then, the Sixteenth Patriarch took the throne.

The Sixteenth Patriarch maintained the balance, preventing everyone else from doing anything too extreme and pushing Fuyu Mountain to its death.

The creator of the Fiery Sun Fist, practiced the Fiery Sun Fist in reverse and reached an extremely high level.

Who would dare to believe this if I said it out loud?

The road behind Fuyu Mountain is basically downhill all the way, a very smooth downhill road.

After nearly a thousand years, it is still one of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. Before, it was undisputedly at the bottom. There were no masters, and there was a lack of talented successors. There were not many disciples, and the strength was not strong enough.

After much difficulty, a disciple with outstanding talent emerged, but he turned out to be a martial artist.

Later, Wen Yan appeared, also a warrior, whose talent for practicing Taoism was not as good as Qin Kun's.

Wen Yan is simply incapable of practicing Taoism, and even the old Taoist priest himself cannot save him.

As Wen Yan followed along in practicing boxing, he couldn't help but think of these things in his mind, and put himself in the situation that the Sixteenth Patriarch had to face at that time.

He suddenly had a new understanding of the Sixteenth Patriarch's Extreme Fiery Sun Fist.

Perhaps at that time, he was the only one who could hold up Mount Buyeo from collapse.

If you want to withstand the pressure and external crisis, you have to take this extreme route.

Or perhaps it was the environment and the difficulties faced at that time that forced the Sixteenth Patriarch to create these things.

He tried to put himself in this situation and felt that practicing boxing became much smoother.

The body's instinctive resistance to this crazy consumption of yang energy is also slightly slowing down.

Wen Yan felt that if it fits the background at that time, then this should be a fight to the death.

He was practicing, and the Sixteenth Patriarch slowly punched and spoke at the same time.

"In a day, when the sun is at its peak, it begins to decline.

In a year, the day when the scorching Yang energy is at its peak is also the beginning of the decline.

The more intense it is during its heyday, the more devastating the consequences will be after its decline.

This has been the case throughout the ages without exception.

In ancient times, there were ten suns across the sky, which was the time when the yang energy was at its strongest.

Its mighty power is unmatched.

But the time of peak prosperity is also the time of peak decline, and all nine suns will fall.

The Thirteenth Patriarch is the most dazzling existence in the history of Fuyu Mountain.

The radiance of the scorching sun enveloped the entire world, and he almost turned the tide with his own strength.

Unfortunately, it was too dazzling and fell at its peak.

I watched the sunrise and sunset, the waxing and waning of the moon, and at midnight I gained enlightenment, which I accomplished in one go, and established the foundation of the Fiery Sun Fist.

It is both increasing and decreasing, both rising and falling.

This is in line with the way of heaven and earth.

No one can always go up and never go down.

The longer you stand at the top, the brighter you become, and the harder it will fall.

If so, then it fits in with the great principles of heaven and earth.

Whoever says rising is the right way, falling is also the way.

I have seized the authority to decide when to descend from the hands of heaven and I am in control of it myself.

That’s the long-term solution.”

The Sixteenth Patriarch spoke slowly, and his ideas might have seemed a bit unorthodox at the time.

But Wen Yan has his own understanding.

After all, humans are not the real Big Sun. The real Big Sun is always there, always burning.

However, even a real big sun has to pay a price for it, consuming hundreds of billions of tons of matter every day.

Therefore, as he understood it, the Sixteenth Patriarch meant that if you are in the polar day state, you will definitely enter the polar night at some point in the future.

The longer the polar day, the longer the polar night, and the more ferocious the destruction.

Therefore, we must learn to control the rise and fall, and the rotation of day and night, so that we can last long and give birth to vitality.

He followed along in practicing boxing, and now had ignored the murderous power of the Sixteenth Ancestor's Fiery Sun Fist. In his understanding, what the Sixteenth Ancestor was teaching him now was purely to help him live longer.

Don't die suddenly when you are at the peak of your career.

After the Sixteenth Patriarch finished teaching, he turned around and looked at Wen Yan standing there, looking thoughtful and realizing something. He nodded involuntarily, feeling quite satisfied. At least this talent was not bad.

When Wen Yan finished his practice and raised his eyelids, the Sixteenth Patriarch asked.

"What did you realize?"

"The master wanted me to live longer, so that I wouldn't die suddenly at the peak of my career like my predecessors did."

The Sixteenth Patriarch nodded with satisfaction, looking relieved.

You are right, Yang Energy is not omnipotent, and even extremely huge Yang Energy is not useful for everything.

Then we should do the opposite and abandon the Yang energy to make up for some of the deficiencies.

If you can kill an enemy that cannot be killed by the scorching yang energy, you will naturally live longer.

Although this younger generation’s murderous aura is a little less, he is different from all of them.

But this is not without benefits.

For example, the condensed evil false god actually has no evil aura, so the possibility of backlash from this thing can be ignored.

If someone can play such a weird thing, he should not be a pedantic person. So it is not bad to be able to comprehend to this extent.

We cannot expect this younger generation to be as good as the Thirteenth Ancestor. That is unrealistic.

That's fine now.

The Sixteenth Patriarch patted Wen Yan's shoulder with satisfaction.

"That's right, just remember not to hold back. If you really cause big trouble, and other sects in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks want to attack you, don't let them get away with it.

If it is a demon or evil spirit, just kill it.

If you really can’t win, save your life first.

No shame. "

Wen Yan agreed obediently, which can be regarded as truly taking care of the younger generation.

The Sixteenth Patriarch turned his head and looked at the pool of black shadow fragments scattered all over the ground. They had basically gathered together again.

The Sixteenth Patriarch pointed to a small, blurry section of calf thrown on a puddle of black shadow.

“This thing has some of the magic of the evil spirit. If it is destroyed, it will be like you, the false god. Over time, it will slowly flow back to him.

This thing is also both real and fake, and has some similarities with your false god.

You allow your false god to dissolve the charm of it and take it for yourself.

There is no need to chase after the evil spirit anymore.

If these divine spirits do not return, the evil spirits will eventually take the initiative to find your false gods.

Why bother chasing him down? Just let him come here and die on his own."

Wen Yan blinked. How could he do such a thing?

He looked at the dark shadow on the ground, and the shadow turned into a blurry eye, which also blinked.

Then he looked again and saw that he was being stared at coldly by the Sixteenth Patriarch. He said nothing and cast a shadow over the blurry section of his calf.

After a moment, the blurry calf reappeared, becoming even blurrier and translucent.

The Sixteenth Patriarch picked it up, shook his wrist, and the blurry calf turned into powder and disappeared.

Wen Yan knew that this was what the black shadow secretly wanted him to learn.

But it is obvious that the three of them want the same result, but their purposes are different.

The black shadow wanted Wen Yan to learn from the Sixteenth Patriarch so that he could defeat the evil power.

The Sixteenth Patriarch wanted Wen Yan to learn a method that could replenish the scorching sun, conform to the great way of heaven and earth, and be able to kill enemies at all times.

Wen Yan felt that this was learning Lieyang's advanced control method, and it also had a bit of metaphysical flavor.

After finishing his studies, the Sixteenth Patriarch looked at the sky and then at Gu Meng beneath his feet.

"Logically, I should kill an evil monster here, but until now, the monster has not appeared.

I think that monster is the evil spirit you are chasing.

Back then, he turned into a demon, stirred up storms, caused rivers to burst their banks, flooded fields and killed people, but I killed him.

I also used the remaining demon body of him to make medicine to resolve the plague after the flood.

At that time, people thought that his soul had been torn apart, his body was used as medicine, and was devoured by millions of people, and he would never be able to turn over again.

Now it seems that this evil spirit is going to go through some kind of ritual to transform into a monster and come out.

It happened that I was out of seclusion at that time, exchanging Taoism with many fellow Taoists, and I came across this incident.

This was considered to have forcibly interrupted his original plan, forcing him to withdraw from the world and save his life.

Now he is in a panic and has no choice but to appear here again. This is his fate."

"Sixteenth Ancestor, do you also understand Liuren destiny?"

"don't know."

"..."

Wen Yan opened his mouth, and he had a rare feeling that he wanted to flatter someone, but he couldn't do it.

The Sixteenth Patriarch spoke so confidently that he really didn’t know how to respond.

The Sixteenth Patriarch didn't care and continued.

"I just heard you say that the evil spirit was related to the Yellow River. At the beginning, it was also a vicious beast that emerged from the water with a small piece of the stone tablet in its mouth.

Such evil things dare not show up in the face at all. They are just maggots in the gutter that dare not see people.

When you go back, just wait for him to come.

If you are really worried, just let this evil false god of yours continue to chase.

This thing still has some merits. It survived two punches from me."

Seeing the puddle on the ground, he quickly forced a smile. This was indeed a compliment.

The evil spirit he was chasing, even its aura, was revealed.

Only half of his body was blown up, and the core parts were not actually blown out.

In comparison, that is indeed quite awesome.

Wen Yan agreed to the task and chatted with the Sixteenth Patriarch for a while. When the ancient dream under his feet began to disappear, Wen Yan left reluctantly.

The Sixteenth Patriarch had something, and he really dared to teach it, and he definitely didn’t keep anything to himself.

I was always worried that Wen Yan would die outside and repeat the same mistake as before.

Then, when he heard that Wen Yan now had the Taoist name of Qingcheng and also the Dharma name of Tianshi Mansion, the Sixteenth Patriarch didn't know what to say.

At least at that time, he had never heard of it or seen it.

Less than a thousand years have passed, and the living environment in Lieyang has become so good?
Wen Yan left and turned into a pool of black shadow, also rapidly crawling on the ground, rushed out of the old dream, and continued to chase the evil spirit.

The trace of charm that was just seized was also given to Wen Yan by the black shadow, and Wen Yan was asked to take it away as bait.

Wen Yan tried again and again, and finally found that only gold could carry that hint of charm. That was perfect, as he had a lot of gold, all of which he could use as material.

Wen Yan used the power of the earrings to return the same way.

In the empty old dream, the Sixteenth Patriarch stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the old dream that was missing the key character, and sighed softly.

He is already dead, and many things can only be solved by the younger generations themselves.

It's probably impossible to lure the evil spirit back here again.

According to Wen Yan, the evil spirit was in such a panic this time that it dared to come here.

The biggest reason may be that I have been able to escape unscathed every time I passed by here before.

And now, as the recovery of spiritual energy progresses, the power here is also increasing.

This time when the evil spirit came, it could no longer withstand the power of the Sixteenth Patriarch.

Having suffered a loss once, I will never do it again next time.

What a pity, otherwise, he would have been able to kill the evil spirit and complete what he had not accomplished in his lifetime.

The light flashed for a moment, and then a black curtain came from the horizon, slowly covering this old dream.

The Sixteenth Patriarch fell into darkness and disappeared completely.

On the other side, Wen Yan came back and looked at the sky. It was already late at night.

He touched his arm and felt a chill for some reason.

He had consumed too much Yang energy, and had no use of the scorching sun to replenish it, so he had to rely entirely on his own Yang energy.

He hasn't felt too cold in almost a year.

The Sixteenth Patriarch's strange training method was indeed a bit weird.
