Chapter 210 Extra 12
Jiang Sheng stood on the top of Qingyang Peak, feeling the mountain wind blowing on his face, and his heart was filled with pride and ambition.

Ever since he stepped into the inner sect and became a disciple of Master Qingyang, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the careful guidance of Master Qingyang, Jiang Sheng not only stabilized the realm of Qi refining stage, but also quickly improved to the third level of Qi refining in just three months.

However, he also encountered a bottleneck in his spiritual practice. Master Qingyang suggested that he travel down the mountain to hone his skills.

Jiang Sheng was excited and looking forward to it. He was eager to travel down the mountain. On the one hand, he could sharpen his cultivation and state of mind, and on the other hand, he could go home to visit his parents.

So, after reporting to Master Qingyang, he embarked on a journey down the mountain.

Jiang Sheng meandered down the mountain road, filled with expectations.

He imagined what it would be like when he returned home, imagining the warm scene of being reunited with his parents. However, he did not expect that the first thing he did after coming down the mountain was to encounter a sudden crisis.

When he walked to a dense forest, he suddenly felt a powerful evil spirit coming.

He quickly became alert, turned around and saw a huge monster rushing towards him.

After leaving his hometown, Jiang Sheng once again embarked on a journey of spiritual practice.

In the evening, the family would sit around the stove. Jiang Sheng would listen to his parents tell interesting stories about the village, and also share with them what he saw and heard in the sect.

He told them that he had become a disciple of Master Qingyang, and his cultivation level had also been greatly improved. After hearing this, his parents were very pleased and proud of his achievements.

After returning to the sect, Jiang Sheng placed the stone in his room and began a long and arduous process of interpretation. He read countless ancient books and information and tried to decipher the words on the stones. Every night, he sat in the room, facing the stone, immersed in those ancient words.

He spent a few warm days with his parents, feeling the warmth of home and the power of family affection.

The monster let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. Jiang Sheng was also panting from exhaustion, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.

He saw familiar houses and smoke from a distance, and a warm current surged in his heart. He walked quickly into the house and saw his parents sitting in the main room, waiting for his return.

The monsters are extremely ferocious and powerful.

The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, which is refreshing.

Although Jiang Sheng has good cultivation, he still feels a little overwhelmed when facing such an opponent.

"Yes, the child will definitely practice hard and come back to visit his parents as soon as possible." Jiang Sheng said firmly.

"Father, mother!" Jiang Sheng shouted excitedly, with tears shining in his eyes.

Jiang Sheng walked into the valley with curiosity, his eyes wandering among the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

While climbing to a steep mountain, he accidentally discovered a hidden valley. In the valley, the trees are dense, and the sunlight shines through the treetops and dapples on the ground, forming a world of intertwined light and shadow.

His heart is full of determination and expectation. He knows that there is still a long way to go, but he also believes that as long as he keeps working hard and moving forward, he will be able to realize his dreams and goals.

"Yes, the child is back." Jiang Sheng held his parents' hands, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude.

But no matter what difficulties and challenges he encountered, he remained calm and determined, constantly improving his cultivation and state of mind.

The sun shone on his resolute face, coating his cyan sect clothes with a layer of golden light. He gained a lot from this trip. Not only did he collect a lot of rare spiritual herbs, he also gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of his own cultivation.

"Dad, Mom, the baby is leaving." Jiang Sheng stood at the door of his house, his eyes full of reluctance.

Every day, he would accompany his parents to work in the fields, sharing the joy of work and the joy of harvest.

When his parents saw him coming back, they stood up excitedly. They hugged Jiang Sheng tightly, their eyes full of relief and joy.

On a sunny afternoon, Jiang Sheng had finished his experience in the mountains and forests and was returning to his sect along a winding mountain road.

He constantly avoided attacks from monsters while looking for opportunities to fight back. After a fierce battle, Jiang Sheng finally found the monster's flaw and pierced its vital point with a sword.

However, as time passed, Jiang Sheng also realized that he could not stay at home forever.

They sat around and Jiang Sheng told his parents about his cultivation experience and achievements in the sect.

Jiang Sheng's days at home are warm and short.

At this moment, his eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous stone. The stone was hidden in the grass. It looked ordinary, but it had some vague writings engraved on it.

During the subsequent travels, Jiang Sheng encountered various challenges and opportunities. He met friendly monks and enemies with evil intentions.

He hugged his parents again, then turned and left. He didn't dare to look back because he was afraid that he would burst into tears. He knew that after this farewell, he didn't know when we would see each other again.

He knew that this was just the first challenge he had encountered during his journey down the mountain, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future.

He knew that there were many rare spiritual herbs growing here, which was exactly what he was looking for on this trip. He knelt down and began to search carefully.

His parents looked at him. Although they were reluctant to give up, they knew Jiang Sheng's ambition and pursuit. They held Jiang Sheng's hand tightly and encouraged him to move on.

"Sheng'er, you have to practice well and don't forget that your parents are waiting for you at home." My mother said softly.

"Sheng'er, you're finally back!" Mother stroked Jiang Sheng's cheek, her voice choked with sobs.

Jiang Sheng decided to take the stone back to the sect and study it slowly. His heart was full of curiosity and expectation. What kind of secret was hidden behind this seemingly ordinary stone? Maybe it's a long-lost secret book of practice, or maybe it's a treasure that contains mysterious power.

Jiang Sheng immediately pulled out his long sword and started a fierce battle with the monster.

Jiang Sheng's heart moved, thinking that this stone might hide some secret.

Jiang Sheng also asked his parents about the situation at home, and he felt very relieved when he learned that everything was fine at home.

He knows that he still has a long road to practice, and he still has a higher realm to pursue. So, after enjoying the warmth of home for a few days, he mustered up the courage to say goodbye to his parents.

He carefully pushed aside the grass and dug the rocks out of the soil. I saw that the stone was covered with dense words and patterns. Although it was very old, it was still clearly visible. Those words were an ancient text that Jiang Sheng didn't recognize, but he could feel the mysterious power contained in them.

After several days of trekking, Jiang Sheng finally returned to his hometown.

A few days later, Jiang Sheng finally recognized that it was an ancient writing that had been lost for a long time. Excited, he continued his in-depth research and gradually uncovered the secret behind the stone. It turns out that this stone is actually an ancient spiritual practice secret book called "Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles".

The practice method recorded in this secret book is unique and mysterious, focusing on both internal and external cultivation, aiming to improve the practitioner's strength and state of mind. Jiang Sheng was deeply attracted by the contents. He studied the secret book day and night and constantly explored its mysteries.

As time went by, Jiang Sheng gradually understood the essence of the "Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles". He was pleasantly surprised to find that every move he performed could increase his combat power by three times! Just by learning the first move, he can show three times his own power against the enemy.

Such a discovery made Jiang Sheng ecstatic. He imagined how powerful it would be if he could fully understand the thirty-six postures. Three times three times, three times again... Such an increase effect is simply unimaginable.

However, Jiang Sheng also knew that it was not easy to fully understand the "Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles". At present, he can only barely comprehend the first move, and he is still unable to touch the subsequent moves. This made him a little regretful, but at the same time it also inspired his determination to work harder.

After comprehending the first form of the "Tiangang Thirty-Six Forms", Jiang Sheng's strength made a qualitative leap.

He performed better and better in the sect's practice, and soon attracted the attention of his teachers.

However, Jiang Sheng did not become complacent because of this. He knew that the path of spiritual practice would never end and he still had a lot to learn and improve.

Therefore, he practiced harder and continued to explore the mysteries of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles.

In the process of practice, Jiang Sheng gradually discovered that the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles were not just a fighting technique, but also a secret method.

The practice of each style requires him to adjust his state of mind and achieve a state of unity between inside and outside.

This kind of spiritual practice experience has benefited Jiang Sheng a lot. Not only did he become stronger in battle, he also became more calm and calm in life.

Just like the first move: Angrily slashing the dragon
To perform such a move, you must be in an angry mood before you can perform it.

And the second style: sad wind and waning moon

It is to feel the sad state of mind.

After returning to the sect, it took Jiang Sheng three full months to comprehend these two moves.

And it is not possible to superimpose these states of mind.

According to the description of the technique, in order to achieve three times the power, these states of mind must be superimposed.
This is really difficult for Jiang Sheng to do.

Angry and sad at the same time
My brain hurts just thinking about it.

Before he could think of any good method for the time being, Jiang Sheng also began to focus on improving his own cultivation level.

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

After returning to the sect, Jiang Sheng made rapid progress in his practice. In just half a year, under the guidance of his master Qingyang Zhenren, he reached the sixth level of Qi refining.

Master Qingyang is also very satisfied with Jiang Sheng's improvement in cultivation.

He also often said that Jiang Sheng was his most talented disciple in Qingyang Peak.

But Jiang Sheng did not become complacent because of this. He knew that talent was just talent, and whether it could be fulfilled or not was a matter of debate.

"Senior Brother Jiang, will you participate in this year's Seven Peaks Competition? I heard that in the Seven Peaks Competition two months later, the top ten disciples from each peak will compete first, and then they will compete among the top ten disciples from each peak. A competition will take place and the number one disciple of this year’s Seven Peaks will be finally selected.”

"Becoming the first disciple of Qifeng will give you a lot of sect resources!"

Jiang Sheng, who had never liked to ponder the internal affairs of the sect, was also stunned when he heard the words of the junior brother next to him.

This was the first time he heard of it.
but
"I am only at the sixth level of Qi Refining now, so how can I be qualified to compete for the top ten disciples in each peak?"

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, the junior brother beside him thought for a while and nodded: "That's true. The top ten disciples of each peak have always been disciples who have perfected the Qi Refining Realm. But even if it doesn't work this year, with the strength of the senior brother, next year He will definitely leave his name among the top ten disciples!”

Having said this, the junior fellow apprentice said with regret in his eyes: "Oh, I won't have this chance. The Qi refining stage breaks through the foundation building stage. There are three types, heaven, earth and man foundation building. If you can win the first disciple of the Seven Peaks, I can get the resources of a Heavenly Foundation. Although I don’t dare to think about it, even if it is an Earthly Foundation, it is ten times as powerful as a Human Foundation!”

Jiang Sheng was stunned when he heard this. "Tiandao foundation building?"

Junior brother looked at Jiang Sheng's puzzled expression and said in surprise: "Senior brother, you don't know the three foundation-building methods of heaven, earth and man, right?"

Jiang Sheng immediately shook his head.

Jiang Sheng shook his head and said that he did not know much about the three foundation building methods of heaven, earth and people. When the junior brother saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately began to explain Jiang Sheng in detail.

"Senior brother, the Qi Refining Stage breaks through the Foundation Building Stage, which is a major hurdle on the path of cultivation. The strength of the Foundation Building Stage often determines the practitioner's future achievements. And the methods of Foundation Building are divided into three types: Heaven, Earth, and People."

"Building the foundation of heaven and earth is to use the power of heaven and earth to arouse the aura of heaven and earth, cleanse the body, and condense the foundation. The monks who build the foundation in this way are powerful and often able to leapfrog challenges, but the resources required are extremely huge and they are not a large sect. The core disciples cannot bear it.”

"Underground foundation building relies on spiritual objects and rare treasures to assist foundation building with external forces. Although this method is not as powerful as heavenly foundation building, it can also greatly improve the strength of the monks and requires relatively few resources. "

"As for human foundation building, it is the most common method. Monks rely on their own efforts and understanding to gradually accumulate spiritual energy, break through the limits of the Qi refining stage, and enter the foundation building stage. Although this method is safe, it progresses slowly. , and the improvement in strength is limited.”

After hearing his junior brother's explanation, Jiang Sheng suddenly realized. He has been focusing on practicing and understanding the Thirty-six Tiangang Styles, and does not understand the details of foundation building. Listening to it now, I realized the importance of foundation building.

"So it turns out that Tiandao foundation building actually requires such huge resources." Jiang Sheng sighed, "In the Seven Peaks Competition, is there really a chance to obtain Tiandao foundation building resources?"

The junior brother nodded, with a trace of yearning flashing in his eyes: "Yes, it is said that in every Seven Peaks Competition, the sect will give out generous rewards. And the resources for building the Heavenly Dao Foundation are the most precious among them. However, it is extremely difficult to obtain such a reward. After all, there are many talented disciples in each peak, and the competition is extremely fierce."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng felt a surge of pride in his heart. He has always been pursuing great strength, and now that he has learned about the opportunity to build the foundation of Heavenly Dao, he naturally does not want to miss it.

"Okay, I will participate in the Seven Peaks Competition and strive to obtain the resources to build the foundation of that day's Dao!" Jiang Sheng said solemnly.

When the junior brother saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "If senior brother participates, he will definitely shine! I believe in senior brother's strength!"

In the following days, Jiang Sheng began to practice harder. Not only did he want to improve his cultivation level, but he also wanted to understand the Thirty-six Tiangang Styles more deeply. He knew that if he wanted to stand out in the Seven Peaks Competition, he had to be fully prepared.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of the Seven Peaks Competition finally arrived. With firm belief and strong strength, Jiang Sheng embarked on the journey to compete for the first disciple of Qifeng.

The Seven Peaks Competition is the most grand event in the sect. The disciples from each peak are all gearing up, hoping to show off their skills in this competition and become famous.

The moment Jiang Sheng stepped into the competition arena, he felt the fiery gazes coming from all around him. There was curiosity, expectation, and hostility in these eyes. But he didn't care about this. He only had one goal in his mind, which was to obtain the resources for building the foundation of Heavenly Dao.

On the competition ground, disciples from each peak took the stage to duel one by one according to the order of drawing lots. Jiang Sheng watched the fierce battle on the stage and secretly assessed the strength of his opponent.

Finally, it was Jiang Sheng's turn to compete. His opponent was an eighth-level Qi Refining disciple from another peak, and his strength should not be underestimated. But Jiang Sheng didn't have the slightest fear. He calmly observed his opponent's movements and looked for his opponent's flaws.

A gong sounded, and the competition began. As soon as Jiang Sheng moved, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards his opponent. He used the "Wind and Rolling Clouds" in the Thirty-Six Styles of Tiangang to instantly involve his opponent in a storm. Although his opponent was quite strong, his flaws were quickly exposed under Jiang Sheng's fierce attack.

Jiang Sheng seized the opportunity and struck his opponent with a "furious slash to kill the dragon". This blow contained his angry mood and was extremely powerful. Although the opponent tried hard to resist, he was still defeated by Jiang Sheng's attack.

The audience in the audience screamed in surprise when they saw this. They did not expect that the unknown Jiang Sheng could defeat an eighth-level Qi Refining disciple so easily.

As the competition progressed, Jiang Sheng passed all the tests, and actually relied on his strength at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage to enter the competition to select the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak.

On top of the stands.

Master Qingyang looked at Jiang Sheng who shined in the competition, and his face showed uncontrollable joy.

In the entire Qingyang Peak, although Jiang Sheng is not his strongest disciple, he is his most promising disciple.

Although Jiang Sheng is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining now, you must know that it has only been a year since he stepped into Qingyang Peak.

As for the other disciples who participated in the competition between the top ten disciples of each peak, who had not been a disciple of each peak for three or five years.

But now, those disciples who have been in various peaks for three to five years are no match for Jiang Sheng, which shows how talented Jiang Sheng is in practicing.

Soon, the competition began again, and this time Jiang Sheng's opponent was a burly ninth-level Qi Refining disciple. This disciple was very powerful and was one of the top ten disciples of the previous Qingyang Peak, but Jiang Sheng was not afraid at all.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and prepared for the next battle.

Following the referee's order, the two men rushed towards each other at the same time.

Jiang Sheng's body was agile and he quickly approached his opponent like a cheetah. He used the moves in the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles, sometimes as fast and fierce as the wind, sometimes as flexible as water, overwhelming his opponents.

Although the opponent was powerful, under Jiang Sheng's flexible attacks, his flaws were gradually revealed.

Jiang Sheng seized the opportunity and punched his opponent hard in the chest. Although the opponent tried hard to resist, he was still defeated by Jiang Sheng's powerful strength.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the competition arena. Jiang Sheng successfully advanced to the ranks of the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak.

At this point, Jiang Sheng stopped challenging.

Because what he wanted was not to be ranked number one in Qingyang Peak, but to be among the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak and to be qualified to participate in the competition for the number one disciple of Qingyang Peak.

Although he is currently only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage and there are still some days left before the Qi Refining Stage is completed, Jiang Sheng does not want to wait.

If I complete the Qi Refining Period this year, wouldn't I have to wait for another year to qualify for the Heavenly Dao Foundation?
There are three methods of foundation building between heaven, earth and humans. The combat power of heavenly foundation builders is ten times that of earth foundation builders, and earth foundation builders are ten times more powerful than human foundation builders.

With such a big gap between the two, Jiang Sheng would never allow himself to fall into the trap.

However, he also understood that it was too difficult to win the title of the first disciple of the Seven Peaks with the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, while the competition would start in three days, Jiang Sheng also stepped up his practice.

He was originally not far away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. If he could break through during this period, it would greatly increase his chances of obtaining the qualification to build the Heavenly Dao Foundation.

After Jiang Sheng successfully advanced to the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak, he did not stop. Instead, he became more determined in his goal - to obtain the qualification to build the Heavenly Dao Foundation.

He understood that it was almost impossible to stand out in the competition for the first disciple of the Seven Peaks with the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, he must improve his cultivation as much as possible during this period of time.

In the following days, Jiang Sheng almost immersed himself in practice.

He constantly adjusted his state of mind and integrated it with the moves in the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles, trying to exert greater power in the battle. At the same time, he also began to look for opportunities to break through the seventh level of Qi refining.

In the process of practicing, Jiang Sheng gradually felt the changes in the spiritual energy in his body.

He could clearly feel the flow of spiritual energy in his meridians, as if small streams were flowing slowly.

He continuously guided these spiritual energies, allowing them to gather in his Dantian to form a powerful force.

As time went by, Jiang Sheng finally felt the opportunity for a breakthrough.

During an in-depth practice, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his body surge like a flood, rushing straight into his Dantian. At this moment, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of breakthrough, guiding this powerful force to attack the barrier of the seventh level of Qi refining.

After a fierce attack, Jiang Sheng finally broke through the barrier of the seventh level of Qi refining and entered a new realm.

He felt that his body seemed to become lighter, and the spiritual energy in his body became more abundant. He knew that his strength had risen to another level.

After the breakthrough, Jiang Sheng did not stop practicing. He continued to practice hard and consolidate his cultivation.

At the same time, he also began to study the rules of the Seven Peaks First Disciple Competition and the situation of his opponents, so as to make full preparations for the upcoming competition.

Three days later, the competition for the first disciple of Qifeng officially started. On the competition ground, Jiang Sheng stood still. He was wearing a green gown, his eyes were firm and his expression was calm. Surrounded by elite disciples from various peaks, they may be tall or short, fat or thin, but without exception, they all exude a powerful aura.

Off the field, the sect disciples who were watching were talking a lot. Their eyes lingered on Jiang Sheng, and they exclaimed from time to time.

"Who do you think can win this battle?" a disciple asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. The strength of the top ten disciples in each peak is almost the same. They are all masters of the ninth level of Qi Refining or above. It is really difficult to predict the outcome." Another disciple shook his head and sighed.

"However, I heard that one of the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak this year has a guy at the sixth level of Qi Refining." A well-informed disciple suddenly interrupted.

"What?! The sixth level of Qi Refining?! How is this possible?" Everyone looked surprised when they heard this.

"Yes, how can a disciple of the sixth level of Qi Refining become one of the top ten disciples of Qingyang Peak? This is simply unbelievable!" Someone said in disbelief.

"But, I heard that he did defeat an opponent at the ninth level of Qi Refining to obtain this qualification." Another disciple added.

"How is this possible?" Everyone was still in disbelief.

"Hmph, I have no ability, so I blame others." A disciple snorted coldly, "Why, even a disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining was defeated by him!"

These words caused everyone to think deeply. They began to re-examine Jiang Sheng, a disciple of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in their hearts.

On the competition stage, Jiang Sheng didn't pay attention to the comments in the audience. He took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and prepared to face the next challenge. He knew that although his cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, with the power of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles, he believed that he had the ability to compete with these disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

With the referee's order, the competition officially began. As soon as Jiang Sheng moved, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards his opponent. He used the moves in the Thirty-Six Tiangang Styles, sometimes as fast and fierce as the wind, sometimes as flexible as water, overwhelming his opponents.

Although his cultivation level is not as good as that of his opponent, his fighting skills and state of mind are not inferior at all. With his flexible body skills and precise moves, he defused his opponent's attacks time and time again and looked for his opponent's flaws.

The audience in the audience looked at Jiang Sheng's performance and exclaimed in amazement. They did not expect that this disciple of the sixth level of Qi Refining could actually deal with opponents of the ninth level of Qi Refining so well.

Not only that.

Relying on his strong physical strength, Jiang Sheng even suppressed the opponent to fight.

But the top ten disciples of Zixia Peak across from him were also very annoyed.

I originally thought that the opponent was just an ordinary sixth-level Qi Refining monk, and thought that I could get an advantage this time and successfully win the battle.

But I never thought that the other party was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

Under the surface that seems to be at the sixth level of Qi Refining, there is such a powerful strength hidden!
