Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 244: Grandmaster’s Method…

"Master Qingyang, the 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' your senior brother just mentioned is..."

"Your senior brother's self-created 'Vajra Supporting Heaven Divine Art' is so powerful, how come I have never heard of his name in the martial arts world before..."

After Chu Yuan finished talking with his senior brother Kunyang and Kunyang left, Shi Feixuan and Wanwan said to Chu Yuan one after another.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity and doubt about Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect, a little-known Taoist sect.

They felt that they were able to create such a powerful martial art even in their respective sects, Yinkui Sect and Cihang Jingzhai.

He is also more powerful than most disciples and elders...even their master.

It is estimated that only the founder of his sect can be compared with him.

The key point is that the Qingcheng Sect has not just one but two such geniuses.

Chu Yuan did not hide it. As the Qingcheng Sect and he became famous in the martial arts world, a lot of information would be dug out by others sooner or later.

Chu Yuan said: "The Nine Heavens Gangqi is a Taoist Gangqi martial art that I created. It is considered the fundamental martial art of the Qingcheng Sect today. All qualified disciples and elders in the sect practice it, just like the Yinkui Sect's Heavenly Demonic Art and the Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Canon."

"This is different. Only my master and I are qualified to practice the Heavenly Demonic Law of our Yinkui Sect."

Wanwan said to herself.

"Including our sect's ancestors and elders, only a few people have practiced the Cihang Sword Canon."

Shi Feixuan also said in her heart.

Chu Yuan didn't know what Wanwan and Shi Feixuan were thinking, so he continued, "As for my senior brother, it's normal that you haven't heard of him, because he didn't know any martial arts before. Even the Qingcheng Sect was only founded two or three years ago, and I am the first leader of the Qingcheng Sect."

"What? Qingcheng Sect was only founded two or three years ago?"

Wanwan raised her eyebrows and exclaimed.

Judging from what they saw and heard when they arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, the strength of the Qingcheng Sect did not seem like it was only founded two or three years ago.

They all believed Chu Yuan when he said that the Qingcheng Sect was a sect with an ancient Taoist heritage.

Because in addition to Chu Yuan, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect who has mastered the "Eternal Life Secret" and is famous all over the world, there is also a congenital master in the sect.

It is hard to tell whether Chu Yuan’s senior brother Kunyang is innate or not.

But judging from the martial arts that the opponent just displayed, it was too outrageous, and they were not completely sure that they could defeat him.

Even in the martial arts world, some well-known masters are probably no match for the other party.

"How can this be?"

Shi Feixuan also couldn't believe it.

She also didn't believe that the Qingcheng Sect had only been established for two or three years, because apart from the masters, judging from the size of the Qingcheng Sect and the huge number of disciples, she felt that apart from the top few sects in the world, there were probably very few sects that could compare with the Qingcheng Sect.

Chu Yuan said: "But it is true."

The Qingcheng Sect was indeed only established less than three years ago.

Wanwan said: "But the head of Qingyang Sect said before that Qingcheng Mountain originated from the ancient Yellow Emperor period..."

Chu Yuan interrupted Wanwan and said, "Qingcheng Sect is Qingcheng Sect, and Qingcheng Mountain is Qingcheng Mountain. The two cannot be compared."

Wanwan: ...

Shi Feixuan then continued, "Just now, the senior brother of the Qingyang Sect Leader, the Taoist priest Kunyang, said that his martial arts were taught by the Qingyang Sect Leader?"

Chu Yuan looked normal. "Yes, there used to be some Taoist temples and Taoists on Qingcheng Mountain. I happened to be a bit gifted. I was inspired by the natural world and created some martial arts. I passed them on to my senior brothers, Taoists on the mountain, and the people living at the foot of the mountain. Finally, with everyone's support, I founded the Qingcheng Sect."

Although there is some water in what he said, it is almost correct.

Most of the martial arts he taught to others were indeed created by him.

Wanwan and Shi Feixuan's eyes fell on Chu Yuan for a moment.

It seems that in this land of Bashu, a powerful but unknown Qingcheng Sect suddenly emerged in just two or three years, all because of this young Taoist priest who is less than 20 years old.

At such a young age, he was able to create many martial arts and build a huge sect!

It's beyond description with the word "genius"!

No wonder the other party was able to get Shilong to give him the "Secret of Immortality".

He also mastered the legendary "Secret of Immortality", which was passed down by Huangdi's teacher Guangchengzi and has never been mastered by anyone.

"No, I can't be the only one who knows what's going on here. I have to quickly pass the news to Master and the sect."

Wanwan said in her heart.

"This is a serious matter. We must inform Master and the sect first."

Shi Feixuan also said in her heart.

……

After Chu Yuan returned to Qingcheng Sect, he caused a brief sensation within the sect and among the people living at the foot of the mountain.

After several years of fermentation and spread of rumors among the people at the foot of the mountain, Chu Yuan's image and status in the Qingcheng Sect is now close to that of a legendary immortal. It is no longer enough to describe him as highly respected.

The mountains in Shu are steep and rugged, and there are many legends about immortals.

If Chu Yuan didn't come back for a long time, whether it was the people living at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, or the disciples who were later sent to Qingcheng Mountain by their parents to join the Qingcheng Sect to learn martial arts, or the lay disciples such as the "laymen", they would all feel uneasy. Fortunately, Chu Yuan came back.

After returning, Chu Yuan made two public appearances in front of all the Qingcheng Sect disciples and taught martial arts twice, just like the first time he gave sermons, which was to announce to the Qingcheng Sect disciples and the people living at the foot of the mountain that he was back.

Then Chu Yuan prepared to continue practicing "The Secret of Immortality".

In the arena...

Ultimately, strength is everything.

Since Wanwan and Shi Feixuan have already shown up, it means that both Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Sect have already set their sights on him.

Chu Yuan remembered that the leader of the Demonic Tianlian Sect, Jia Pang Anlong, seemed to be doing business in Bashu!

Apart from Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Sect, there were countless others who were targeting him because of the "Eternal Life Secret".

This even includes the current Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Yu Wenzhi, on the orders of Yang Guang, went to Yangzhou to seize the "Secret of Immortality" but failed.

Now that everyone in the world knows that the "Secret of Immortality" is in his hands, Yang Guang will only focus on himself.

Only with absolute strength can we cope with the coming impact of the martial arts world on the Qingcheng Sect.

However, before starting to practice, Chu Yuan still had one thing to resolve.

That day, Chu Yuan ordered someone to call Fu Jun'er to his residence.

As the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, he lived in just an ordinary small courtyard in the Shangqing Palace.

Originally, after Chu Yuan came back, his senior brother Kunyang arranged a large courtyard for him in Shangqing Palace, but Chu Yuan refused.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, even if there are thousands of mansions, there are only three feet of space to sleep at night.

The same principle applies when he is meditating and practicing, and when he is living in his daily life.

"I heard that the Taoist priest was looking for me?"

After Fu Jun'er was called to Chu Yuan's new residence by the Qingcheng Sect disciples, she stepped over the threshold, walked in and saw Chu Yuan, who was sitting on a cushion with an extraordinary temperament.

"sit!"

Chu Yuan pointed to another cushion five feet in front of him. Fu Jun'er was not afraid of Chu Yuan and sat cross-legged opposite him.

Now it has been half a month since they returned to Qingcheng Sect. After these days of rest, Fu Jun'er's internal injuries have basically healed.

"I have been in Qingcheng Sect for quite some time. I wonder what you think of Qingcheng Sect?"

Chu Yuan asked Fu Jun'er.

"What do you mean?"

Fu Jun'er looked puzzled.

"Just answer my questions truthfully."

Chu Yuan said to Fu Jun'er.

"The Qingcheng Sect is a hidden sect of Taoism. It is full of masters and has a profound foundation. It is not inferior to some of the top sects in the Central Plains martial arts world."

Fu Jun'er could only speak out her inner thoughts.

Comparing the Qingcheng Sect with some of the top sects, this is a very high evaluation!

To be honest, during the few days she was in Qingcheng Sect, Qingcheng Sect did bring her quite a few surprises.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to sneak away after her injuries had healed.

But after she came to Qingcheng Sect, she gave up directly.

Because in addition to Chu Yuan, the Qingcheng Sect actually has another elder who is a congenital master.

Although that elder later went down the mountain, there was still an even more terrifying Kunyang in the sect.

In addition, the ordinary disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and those "laymen" who did not wear Taoist robes all had strong martial arts skills. It was impossible for her, a prisoner whose internal Qi was cut off by Chu Yuan's meridian-cutting method, to escape.

She is now trying every possible way to break through the strange inner energy that Chu Yuan left in her body and cut off her inner energy, but she has yet to achieve anything.

Chu Yuan suddenly asked: "I heard that you have a twin sister, who is also your junior sister Fu Junyu?"

Fu Jun'er's face immediately changed, and she looked at Chu Yuan in shock and asked, "How did you know?"

Chu Yuan said: "You can regard me as well-informed, or you can think that I understand some Taoist divination techniques!"

Fu Jun'er said in disbelief: "If the Taoist sect really has the ability to predict the future, why are the two top sects in the martial arts world, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, both Buddhist sects?"

Chu Yuan said: "I said this to tell you that if you suddenly lose contact, your sister will be sent to the Sui Dynasty. If you don't want your sister to be sent to the Sui Dynasty and end up like you, you should be obedient. I will allow you to convey your current situation and news to your relatives in Goryeo."

Fu Jun'er was silent for a moment and then said, "What do you want me to do?"

Although she was a nationalist who was willing to sacrifice for the Goryeo Kingdom, she knew how to weigh the pros and cons on many unnecessary things.

Chu Yuan said: "Tell me how the martial arts realms in the world are divided?"

This is Chu Yuan's main purpose in bringing Fu Jun'er back to Qingcheng Sect from Yangzhou.

Chu Yuan has just awakened his memory in this world, and he doesn’t know how the martial arts realms are divided in this world.

Acquired, innate, master...

These were all analyzed from the fragmentary information he collected. Chu Yuan didn't know whether they were accurate or not, or what the detailed divisions were!
Chu Yuan had asked Shi Long in Yangzhou before, but Shi Long was just a first-rate master. His understanding of martial arts realm was not as good as Chu Yuan's, and he only knew the general idea.

And Fu Jun'er in front of him was a disciple of Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian from Goryeo, one of the three great masters in the world. The information she knows must be very comprehensive.

As for why I didn't ask Wanwan and Shi Feixuan...

To put it bluntly, Chu Yuan does not trust these two saint ladies from the Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect. As mentioned before, Chu Yuan thinks that these two saint ladies are the green tea of ​​later generations.

They are both equally matched.

He asked them whether they knew whether these two people would be holding back on him or simply mislead him.

Unlike Fu Jun'er, who is very easy to control.

"You don't even know the divisions of martial arts realms, how did you cultivate to the Xiantian realm?"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Fu Jun'er felt a little bit unbelievable.

In her opinion, Chu Yuan's strength is among the best even among the innate masters in the world.

"You can achieve it by practicing normally!"

Chu Yuan looked at Fu Jun'er calmly.

If Fu Jun'er knew that Chu Yuan had even given up his martial arts skills in order to practice the "Eternal Life Secret", she would probably find it even more unbelievable.

Fu Jun'er: ...

See, is this human language?
You talk as if everyone doesn't practice normally!
However, Fu Jun'er was strong-willed and quickly accepted the matter: "Whether you are targeting me on purpose or you really don't know, since you asked, I will tell you about the realm division of martial arts in this world."

Chu Yuan sat upright: "I'm all ears."

Now his martial arts level has reached the innate level.

I have also mastered the first five human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality", and will now practice the sixth and seventh human body diagrams.

Chu Yuan needs to clarify the next direction of his cultivation.

Fu Jun'er said, "My master told me that martial arts in the world are divided into three realms: acquired, innate, and grandmaster. But there is also a gap between each realm, just like the acquired realm, there are third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate. Above the first-rate, if one can practice his acquired true qi and return it to innate, he will be an innate master."

Chu Yuan asked Fu Jun'er: "Since there are strong and weak masters of acquired abilities, then there should also be strong and weak masters of innate abilities, right?"

"Yes, that's true." Fu Jun'er nodded and said, "The Xiantian realm is divided into the beginning and top Xiantian realms. Most of the Xiantian masters who are beginning to enter the Xiantian world are at this realm. They all practice the acquired return to the Xiantian realm and have basically cultivated the Xiantian true qi."

"The top innate ones have cultivated their innate true qi to the point where it circulates throughout their bodies and is rich and full. They have also developed one or two powerful and famous skills and have been immersed in their skills for many years. Even among the innate masters, they have often defeated many masters and accumulated a prominent reputation while also holding high positions."

Chu Yuan asked: "What innate realm are Yu Wenzhi and you in respectively?"

Fu Jun'er said: "We are all the first batch of innate people. The more powerful ones have already touched the threshold of the top innate level."

Chu Yuan asked again: "What about me?"

Since there have been no powerful masters around him so far, and he has never fought with any powerful masters, Chu Yuan does not know his own strength and what level he is at in the martial arts world.

“Master, you can easily defeat me and Yu Wenzhi. Your strength is undoubtedly top-notch. However, those two saints from the Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect who are also top-notch dared not attack you. Your strength may be stronger than the top-notch.”

As Fu Jun'er spoke, a hint of confusion flashed across her brows.

If Chu Yuan is not a top-level innate, then what level of strength is he at? Could it be that Chu Yuan is stronger than a top-level innate at such a young age?
"It is said that there is another realm above the initial innate and top innate realms. This realm is innate perfection. It is said that only those who find their own martial arts can become innate perfection masters. Innate perfection means being invincible unless a grandmaster appears."

Fu Jun'er then continued.

"What about the Grandmaster? How can one break through the innate and become a Grandmaster?"

Chu Yuan asked again.

This is also another reason why Chu Yuan asked Fu Jun'er to come.

He wants to know how to become a master!
There are thousands of masters in the world!

There are only three grand masters.

In this world, only by becoming a master can one be considered to be standing at the top of the world.

"Grandmaster..."

Fu Jun'er felt a little emotional and paused.
