Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 264 Hundred Battles
In the courtyard.

Xu Guang faced the many guests with a gentle smile on his face.

But the people around me all smiled reluctantly.

The smile of this big shot in front of me is always fake, and he always changes his attitude so quickly.

If it were an ordinary person, this would definitely be a capricious person.

But Xu Guang's status meant that every move he made would be covered with a beautiful coat.

After a while.

Xu Guang stood on the top of the mountain, watching a group of foreign warriors go down the mountain in an orderly manner and walk towards the Demon Mountain in the distance.

His face was calm.

Then he looked towards where Youhui was not far away and spoke.

"Zhan'er, come with me to a place."

Xu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Fu Shaohua, "Brother Fu, wait a moment."

Fu Shaohua waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Xu Zhan, please do as you please. But... can you let the big brother at your feet put me down first? I also want to go find Master Xu for an opportunity..."

"You want to take my father as your master?"

Fu Shaohua did not deny it, but said softly, "From Master Xu's hands, I seem to have seen Qi Jian's death..."

Thanks to Youhui's existence, Xu Zhan and he watched almost the entire battle between Xu Guang and Shi Zhongyu.

Except for Yizhi's collision which I didn't see clearly, I saw most of the others.

It was because of what he saw that he felt sad about the inheritance of his Qijian Villa.

The more powerful a person is, the more he disdains such tricks.

In his opinion, Xu Guang and Shi Zhongyu clearly had many ways to defeat each other just now.

But there was never a moment in the battle that went his way.

They were all legitimate moves, but in his opinion, they were fantastic.

Until that moment, he finally understood that the so-called strange sword was nothing more than a shortcut.

The sword is so amazing that, at his current level, it is still quite powerful, even in the entire mortal world.

But in the final analysis, it is just a trick. In the eyes of top figures in the world like Xu Guang, it is not even as good as a dignified sword, which makes them take a second look at it.

So just now, he made that decision.

Xu Zhan didn't understand what Shaohua was thinking, but since he wanted to try, he naturally wouldn't stop him.

He immediately asked You Hui to lower his head and let Fu Shaohua go down.

Before leaving, Fu Shaohua once again looked in the direction of Xu Guang and Xu Zhan before he raised his feet and walked down firmly.

He must kill the blood soul!
Xu Guang looked at Fu Shaohua with some curiosity.

"new friend?"

Xu Zhan nodded, "I know him in Yindu, he's a nice guy, the successor of Haori Dao Qijian Villa."

Xu Guang had heard of the name of Qijian Villa, but it was not a very powerful sect. Hearing this, he nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Xu Zhan saw the emotions in his father's eyes.

It's not contempt, but indifference.

Just like my father never cared about the passers-by, never cared about the eyes of passers-by...

He has always been like this and always will be like this.

Regarding this point, he actually admired his father a little. At least he couldn't completely ignore other people's opinions.

But he had to admit that this kind of thinking and practice must make life very comfortable.

On top of the magic mountain.

Soon there were huge explosions and roars.

Xu Guang didn't care, but Xu Zhan looked at it curiously.

I saw a warrior who was not yet at the level of the Mystic, fighting with a monster transformed from blood and soul.

The monster had a hideous and ferocious appearance and looked extremely scary.

But its strength doesn't seem to be half as good as its appearance suggests.

Xu Zhan was a little curious.

But Xu Guang did not answer.

To slay demons, you need courage, perseverance, and luck...

There won't be many people accepting disciples this time, and he doesn't care how many there will be.

at last,

Xu Guang brought Xu Zhan, and under the wandering of Youhui, they came to the area deep in Yuanshan.

here it is…

The palace that I saw in the Xuan Cave before, the dojo of the Lord of Battle who conquered demons.

When Xu Guang entered the Bronze Underground Palace again, his experience was completely different from before.

Last time, he and Bald Duck revived the palace, which caused the Qilin guarding the palace to awaken, and Xu Guang also gained the recognition of Qilin.

The encounters are naturally different.

"You came."

Amidst the colorful mist, a heavy and reassuring voice was heard.

This voice startled Xu Zhan.

He watched the scene with some curiosity.

These colorful mists look extraordinary.

If Xu Guang hadn't been around, he wouldn't have dared to enter if he was alone.

"Father, this is..."

"It's just the dojo of a celestial master."

Xu Guang's light words made Xu Zhan's eyes dazed.

Just the temple of a...celestial being?
He looked at Xu Guang in disbelief. Could it be that his father's cultivation level was so high that he no longer took the Heavenly Venerable seriously?

This question took root in his mind.

But Xu Guang had no intention of answering.

He just took Xu Zhan and went straight to the side hall of the bronze underground palace.

The Qilin's figure became more solid.

But Xu Guang showed a trace of emotion on his face.

"You're in worse shape."

"Wherever the world wind is, all things in the world are like this."

Xu Guang chuckled.

"It's amazing that you have achieved the state of being a god."

"god?"

Qilin glanced at Xu Guang and then spoke in a complicated tone.

“It seems that you don’t understand the realm of the Spiritual Vein Era.

In the Spiritual Vein Era, cultivation was very complicated. The various Heavenly Lords appeared and finally unified it.

It is roughly divided into three realms of acupoints, five changes of truth, forgetting both the self and the spirit, arranging the array to achieve the Tao, and raising the clouds to challenge the throne.

The so-called "God" is the ability to move heaven and earth with a single thought. Replacing the will of heaven with my own will is also an extremely important step in arranging arrays to achieve enlightenment. Without God, there is no me. Without me, how can I arrange arrays and how can I challenge the throne?"

Qilin's words were very clear, but Xu Guang became somewhat interested in what Qilin said about lifting the clouds and seeking the top spot.

"Ask for the top, is that the realm of the Heavenly Venerable?"

Qilin shook his head, "There is still a long way to go. To be able to establish a sect in the Spiritual Vein Era, one must be able to hold the power of a million jin and lift the cauldron of the Heavenly Lord. This realm is generally referred to as the 'Ancient Sect' realm, meaning the ancient founder of the sect."

Xu Guang suddenly realized.

It seems that the practice in the Spirit Vein Era is indeed very complete.

Above the ancient sect realm that one can aspire to is the so-called Heavenly Venerate realm.

But without Qilin saying much, Xu Guang could imagine the huge difference between the two realms.

"Are you here to take away the Tianzun Ancient Palace?"

Xu Guang nodded, "This is the agreement we made before."

Qilin did not deny it, but looked at Xu Zhan, "Who is he?"

"My son, I brought him here just because I thought his physique might be similar to that of Bai Zhan Tian Zun."

There are very few records about the origin of the Heavenly Lord who conquers demons by a hundred battles, whether in the classics in Qiandu or in the ancient books on Yujing Mountain.

However, there are some places that mention that this Heavenly Venerable who has conquered demons by a hundred battles was born with a combative nature, and the practitioners in the Spirit Vein Era were all masters of acupoint cultivation. He felt that the practice method of Heavenly Venerable who has conquered demons by a hundred battles might be similar to Xu Zhan's Fighting Saint Body.

"Oh?" Qilin was a little curious.

Under Xu Zhan's somewhat horrified gaze, colorful mist slowly lingered around Xu Guang, as if covering him with a layer of colorful clouds.

All kinds of wonderful vibrations emanated from his body.

In an instant, countless golden rays emerged from Xu Zhan's body surface, illuminating the sky and the earth.

Xu Guang showed shock on his face.

This is…

A golden beam of light condensed in an instant and leaped into the sky at an unparalleled speed.

As it continued to expand and extend, the column of light seemed boundless, from Yuanshan to Youzhou, until it finally reached every inch of Daqian's territory.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth began to welcome it at this moment.

……

……

Somewhere in an unknown place deep in the source mountain.

A huge concave hole like a lip suddenly appeared on a cliff.

This place seemed like a spring of heaven and earth, and also like an entrance between heaven and earth and the netherworld. The deeper one went, the more one could feel the permeation of the horrible unknown.

Here, the world seems to be dark.

The light of heaven is here, and nowhere else to manifest.

The cave is deep, seemingly deeper than the ground, and seems endless.

This place rejects all forces from the world. Even the magma is pitch black, as if it has been polluted.

in the darkness.

A ray of golden light slowly shot into it, like a bolt of thunder in the clear sky.

moment.

Alarmed the existence in the cave.

"who is it!?"

A figure suddenly burst out from the black magma.

It turned out to be a humanoid creature...

But it doesn't seem to be human.

It has two wings on its back, three eyes, dragon horns on its head, and a lizard-like tail over three meters long behind it. Its body is pitch black, like charcoal.

The only thing that moved people was the eyes on his face.

That is…

The compound eyes are similar to those of a fly, composed of endless light pink pupils.

"It's... interesting that it was that little guy."

This person suddenly turned around, and one could see that his face looked very similar to the former Blood-Clothed Guard's Youzhou envoy... Han Sui!
Of course, he is no longer Han Sui.

But the person who was possessed by the night demon.

The real Han Sui was killed by Xu Guang, but the Night Demon never died, and he even escaped the seal in the Temple of the Living Corpse.

He came to the world quietly.

Although it seems that his condition has not returned to its best yet.

But the fact that he could return was beyond most people's imagination. He was a terrifying ancient god.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that you could really inherit Yuan Zhen's legacy..."

……

……

In the mountains between the two worlds.

A young man wearing a Qingniu Taoist robe looked at the golden light column that suddenly lit up in the sky, and his expression changed slightly.

This is……

His expression became a little subtle.

As the descendant of Liangjie Mountain, he naturally needs to be well aware of any changes in the mortal world. Any subtle changes in the mortal world are recorded in the Liangjie Mountain library.

The picture before my eyes...

He had a vague impression.

In ancient times, when the Heavenly Master attained enlightenment, it shocked heaven and earth, and there would be bright clouds for thousands of miles to illuminate the heavens. But in this day and age, is there anyone who can still attain enlightenment as the Heavenly Master?
The young man couldn't believe it.

But soon, he reacted.

wrong.

In addition to Tianzun's enlightenment, there is another result...

That is the fall of the Heavenly Lord!
All the learning was able to continue and be passed down, but the Heavenly Master truly fell.

That is…

He felt a slight shock in his heart.

In today's world, is there really anyone who can accept the inheritance of Tianzun?

Is there really anyone who can inherit that ancient Taoism intact?

……

……

In the mysterious world.

This is a sea.

But there are nine suns above the sea!

This is... the Nine Yang Mountain and Sea Realm.

Among the thirty-three heavens, there is a very ancient one.

Above the deepest mountain and sea, in a cave shrouded in clouds and mist.

An old woman with a double-ringed bun suddenly woke up at this moment. A trace of shock appeared on her face, but it was followed by a grief that made her feel suffocated.

She has lived for more than ten thousand years. As a master of the Spirit Vein Era, she has gotten through everything safely. Before she completely became a Heavenly Venerate, she practiced another way.

She had experienced this feeling countless times before, and she knew what it felt like.

But never before had she felt such grief, like...

The whole person seemed to be completely immersed in sorrow.

"Senior brother..."

She understood that the most important person in her had left.

Senior brother.

In the past, she had wanted to attain the status of Heavenly Venerable, but when the Thirty-three Heavens of the Mysterious World arrived, her senior brother forcefully sealed her away and made her change her path.

That’s how she is today.

But I didn’t expect…

She suddenly stood up, and the old look on her face turned younger at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a peerless young girl, dressed in colorful auspicious clothes like clouds.

"Mrs. Yunmu, you..."

Outside the cave, the guarding warrior saw this and hurried forward.

The woman ignored it.

She has very important things to do now.

No matter what, she had to go see her senior brother.

The last one!
Even in the face of a calamity...

……

……

Among the stars.

"After a hundred battles, he also fell."

No one was in sight, and a sigh that shook the sky and the stars was heard.

"We, the remnants of our time, shouldn't be alive..."

"I thought the way of the former Heavenly Lord was the way to heaven, but I didn't expect it to be a dead end..."

"A life span of ten thousand years is nothing but illusion. With a flick of a finger, the Tao is annihilated into nothingness."

Someone sighed again.

"Don't say that bullshit Tianzun is a dead end. If it is really a dead end, why can that person get through it?"

A rebellious voice echoed in the starry sky.

As his words were spoken, countless golden flames seemed to appear in the air. The flames took shapes in the air like golden crows.

"In the Spiritual Vein Era, there were a total of ninety-seven Heavenly Lords. How many of them were like that person, walking in the sky?"

"What is the sky!?"

Jinwu said angrily while being shocked.

But obviously, such impotent rage does not have much effect.

After all, they were already hiding deep in the starry sky.

The way of the Heavenly Lord is a dead end.

This is the conclusion they came up with through countless blood and tears.

……

……

As the golden light on Xu Zhan spread.

Qilin's voice sounded again.

"Since you are his father, you should be able to see the way of the Heavenly Lord, so go and take a look.

But remember one thing, the path to Heavenly Venerable is a dead end."

Xu Guang was in a trance, he came to an open land.

The people here were displaced, and huge cracks appeared in the ground and sky, spewing out fire from heaven and earth.

Every swallowing and spitting out means the lives of hundreds of people.

Xu Guang was shocked.

Is this the era of spiritual veins?
Rumble!
Accompanied by a huge vibration.

A monster with six arms and two wings emerged from the fire.

The monster seemed to be thirsty for the blood of civilians.

He rushed towards the civilians like a madman.

At the critical moment, a tall figure fell from the sky.

Although his face could not be seen, Xu Guang knew that this should be...the Lord of Hundred Battles and Demon Conquering.
