I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 197: In troubled times, heroes emerge; Jin Chan learns the Taoist magic of Yuetan Mountain (5k)

Li Yingtai has been pregnant for several months.

Although her belly was not very obvious yet, the rumor that the King of Tang was pregnant had already been known to everyone.

However, Li Yingtai did not care about it, and even allowed such rumors to spread from the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City to the camp of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

After all, in her heart, the child of her and Jin Chan must come into this world legitimately.

"Your Majesty, King Tang, do you want to personally lead your troops to the city of Xianyang?"

Chang Lingjun, who had the seal of the Three Kingdoms hanging on his waist, had a calm face and seemed not surprised at all.

"Yes, or maybe not. When the time comes, Lord Chang Ling can go with me into the Afang Palace."

"I am tired and will go back to the camp to rest. You can discuss the matter of attacking Qin with General Li Cunxiao."

After saying this, Li Yingtai lightly covered his lips with his hand, and then left surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

And at this time.

Because of the Qin Dynasty's national destiny, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms had been bored for a long time.

Therefore, after discussion, the chief general of Chu, Xiang Yu, the chief general of Qi, Tian Gao, and later the chief general of Tang, Li Cunxiao, held a competition of "wrestling" and "military spirit".

The loser can only be the last one to enter the pass after Hangu Pass is breached.

As for the winner, after the Qin's national fortune faded, the armies of the Three Kingdoms would wave flags and beat drums to build momentum for it, urging Bai Qi to leave the city, and the generals would meet and fight alone.

Let’s not talk about the fact that Xiang Yan died at the hands of Bai Qi’s sword.

Among the military generals in the Central Plains, who wouldn't want to personally chop off the head of Bai Qi, the leader of the four famous generals?

Thus, he became famous throughout the world, went down in history, and was remembered forever.

The wrestling match is simple and brutal.

Find an open space, and have both parties stand at opposite ends with their backs facing each other, each holding a long spear behind their backs, with the tips of the spears hooked together.

Then, as the game began, the two of them exerted their strength at the same time.

Victory or defeat depends on who can stand to the end and not be dragged to the ground by the opponent.

This military game, similar to "tug of war", became popular when the Seven Kingdoms were first established.

There is no skill involved, it's purely a test of strength.

By throwing the shell.

The first wrestling match started between the Chu general Xiang Yu and the Qi general Tian Gao.

Originally everyone thought that this would be an exciting performance with both teams evenly matched.

But before the soldiers could start cheering, Xiang Yu exerted force with one hand, and the field cake was thrown high into the air thirty meters, and then fell to the ground.

The whole person became dusty and miserable.

A second ago, he was still arrogant and threatened to kill Bai Qi and the King of Qin, and to take over the field cream that Zhao Ji used to warm his bed.

The next second, he became the laughing stock of millions of soldiers.

"Damn it, you are born with supernatural power. I am no match for you. But for a general, strength is only secondary. Do you know what the most important thing is?"

In order to ease the embarrassment, Tian Gao immediately stood up, pretended to pat the dirt off his body, and asked Xiang Yu shamelessly.

"A general is the soul of the army. He must have courage, wisdom, force, morale, and faith."

"Bullshit, he is really just a warrior who can only use brute force. For a general, the most important thing is bloodline, bloodline!"

"I am a member of the Tian clan of Qi. How can you, a mere noble from Chu, compare with my noble status?"

Before Xiang Yu could finish speaking, Tian Gao immediately started cursing.

But as Xiang Yu's eyes glared at him, he subconsciously shrank his neck and turned his head to look to the side.

This was a ridiculous scene and everyone really couldn’t understand why. Was the State of Qi going to be destroyed?
How could they send such an incompetent person to be the commander?

Faced with such a fool, Xiang Yu was too lazy to say a word, but instead looked to the side at Li Cunxiao, who was smiling all the time but full of murderous intent.

"General Tian's words do make sense. I have benefited a lot from listening to them. I would like to ask General Tian if he can give me some advice."

The young Li Cunxiao walked over leisurely with a long spear on his shoulders.

"You have a bright future, unlike that guy who only has brute force but no brains. This general will give you some pointers."

Just like before, the two men hooked the halberds in their hands together and turned their backs to each other.

And as the gong sounded.

Li Cunxiao's muscles suddenly swelled, and he held the end of the halberd with both hands and roared loudly.

With a sudden force, the ground beneath Li Cunxiao's feet cracked.

Tian Gao didn't even have time to react before he dived headfirst into the horse trough two hundred meters away like an arrow shot from a bow.

There was a boom.

The trough collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of manure and hay.

"Oh, it seems that General Tian's bloodline is not pure!"

Li Cunxiao laughed, then raised his head and looked at Xiang Yu with contempt, pointing his halberd forward.

"It's your turn!"

"court death!"

After looking at each other, the two men, who could be described as the chosen ones of heaven, began their first fight in life.

The two halberds hooked together and exerted force at the same time.

The roar caused the horses to run around in panic.

After just a moment, the halberd broke because it could not withstand the strength of the two men.

But the two seemed to have a tacit understanding. They did not stop to discuss and started wrestling again using their arms as spears.

It was a test of pure strength, but it gave off the momentum of a mighty army.

Faintly, one could see that the muscles of Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao were about to burst through their armor.

"How about we compare military spirit as well?"

Li Cunxiao, with a flushed face and bulging veins on his forehead, forced a "relaxed" smile on his face, and then asked Xiang Yu, who was also blushing.

"Don't let me bully you!"

The morale of one hundred thousand soldiers.

This was condensed by both of them at the same time, but judging from the looks of it, they were either underestimating the enemy or were just testing him.

The collision of the soldiers' spirits was like a hurricane, pushing the people around them outwards.

"Two hundred thousand, toward the sky!"

"Two hundred thousand to capture the tiger!"

The clouds in the sky gathered above their heads and formed a huge vortex.

The strong wind blew up the fallen leaves and made the dead trees creak.

One is the grandson of Xiang Yan, one of the four famous generals in the Central Plains. He was born with supernatural powers and could lift a thousand-jin heavy tripod in his early years. He was called by Xiang Yan as a peerless general who was expected to be the first to break through the million-strong army.

Another one is that when he was young, he could repel an army of 100,000 with a single punch and defeated all the generals of the Tang Dynasty. He was known as the number one warrior of the Tang Dynasty who could lead an army by himself.

The competition between these two people frightened Tian Gao who was far away so much that he trembled with fear. The most primitive fear in his heart instantly soaked his whole body, and he couldn't even move a finger.

"Five hundred thousand, split toward the sky."

"Five hundred thousand, falling dragon."

The ground split open into several kilometer-long gullies in all directions with the two people as the center, and the clouds in the sky were torn into pieces.

Of the tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding them, 33% fainted on the ground, 33% were paralyzed and powerless, and 33% had lost the will to live.

"Humph!"

The arms of the two men used for wrestling were now as hot as branding irons. Not only were they red, but they were also bursting with blood.

"Six hundred and seventy thousand, Overlord!"

"Six hundred and sixty thousand, defeated!"

The tacit understanding between the strong men allowed the two of them to condense their strongest military spirit at the same time.

All of a sudden.

The sky suddenly darkened, the earth began to rumble, the birds and beasts within three hundred miles scattered, and the entire camp of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces was like a furnace.

It was as if a huge gravitational force was formed with the two of you as the center.

now.

Even Bai Qi, who was drinking at Hangu Pass, suddenly stood up and crushed the cup in his hand.

"Haha, in troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers. I really wish I were a few decades younger so that I could kill them all with my youthful body!"

Bai Qi stroked his long gray beard and looked in the direction of Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao through the thick rain and snow.

Although his face is old, the passion in his body is still like that of a teenager.

With his only remaining arm, he grabbed the jar of wine weighing hundreds of pounds beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

at this time.

The coalition forces of Chu, Tang and Qi had already been thrown into disarray by Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

The two men seemed to be very stubborn, and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

If I continue like this, my arms will break and my internal organs will explode.

Just when everyone was overwhelmed.

suddenly.

"Stop it, everyone. Do you think this is a joke?"

Although there was nothing special about the thin Chang Lingjun, his voice still penetrated the majestic military spirit and penetrated into the ears of the two men.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao came back to their senses, and at the same time withdrew their arms that had long lost consciousness, and dispersed their military spirit.

"Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, you two are the commanders of your respective countries, but you have no regard for military discipline. As the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms, I punish you two with 100 military sticks each, to be executed immediately!"

Chang Lingjun was small and thin, and had no fighting power at all.

But this aura suppressed the arrogant Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

"Xiang Shuai, wait a moment!"

Li Cunxiao was seen swinging his arms which were red and black, and shouting at Chang Lingjun who was about to turn around and leave.

"Do you have any objection?"

The cold voice showed no fear of the other party.

"I dare not, I dare not. I am willing to take the 100 military sticks. However, today's competition is not only initiated by General Xiang and me, but also by him!"

Li Cunxiao smiled, stretched out his other arm and pointed at Tian Gao who was still lying on the ground in the distance, covered in horse manure.

"Two hundred military sticks each for the three of you!"

Chang Lingjun shouted softly.

"Hmph, don't think that just because you hold the seal of command, I have to obey you. I am a descendant of the royal family of Qi. Do you think you are qualified to punish me?"

Not only was he thrown to the ground twice, but now he was inexplicably beaten with two hundred military sticks.

Tian Gao got angry all of a sudden.

He couldn't defeat Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, but he still had some confidence when facing a little old man who was powerless.

"Since I wear the seal of the Three Kingdoms, I am the most powerful person in the army. You can either take these two hundred military sticks or take your soldiers and get out of here and go back to Qi!"

Chang Lingjun waved his sleeves and returned to the commander's tent, leaving Tian Gao standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Are you going or not, General Tian of pure blood?"

After Li Cunxiao made a joke, he walked towards the criminal law department of the army.

At the same time, he did not forget to call Xiang Yu to join him.

"Damn it! When I return to Qi, I will order my troops to march south and slaughter you two brats."

After Tian Gao cursed inwardly, he had no choice but to go and lead the military stick obediently.

After all, if I went back like this, the first person the King of Qi would kill would definitely be me.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Li Cunxiao, who was lying on a bench and had been beaten with 55 military sticks, suddenly turned his head and spoke to Xiang Yu who was also being beaten beside him.

"You are very powerful. You are definitely in the top three among those I have fought against."

"You're not bad, you're probably fourth!"

Perhaps it was because fighting made us strangers, and the two started chatting while getting beaten.

He completely ignored Tian Gao who was crying and shouting beside him.

"In my opinion, you and I are the only two people in the world who can be called heroes. The so-called four famous generals of the Central Plains are just a bunch of old guys. They will probably all be buried in the coffin in a few years."

When Li Cunxiao said this, he completely forgot that Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan was one of the four famous generals and was dead.

"You underestimate the heroes of the world!"

While Xiang Yu said this, he did not forget to look up in the direction of the Qin State.

"Oh, so there are people who can rival you and me?"

Li Cunxiao asked doubtfully.

Even if there are such people, they are probably those antiques from the older generation. He doesn't believe that there is anyone in the younger generation who can be as powerful as himself and Xiang Yu.

Even Bai Qi, after he cut off one of his arms, was no longer in Li Cunxiao's eyes.

"I just said that you are barely fourth, the first is Bai Qi, and the second is my grandfather."

"They are just old antiques. In five or ten years, I will be able to surpass them!"

Li Cunxiao interrupted Xiang Yu and replied with disdain.

"Listen to me, this third man is a Qin man named Jin Chan, who is the same age as you and me. I was defeated by him a few months ago."

"Qin State actually has such a person. Haha, it seems that this attack on Qin State will not be so boring. By the way, how much military spirit can this person gather? 700,000?"

Li Cunxiao laughed a few times, not feeling intimidated at all by the fact that Jin Chan had defeated Xiang Yu before.

"There's not a trace of military spirit in him!"

Xiang Yu spoke.

"Ah! No trace of military spirit?"

Li Cunxiao was stunned at first, then shook his head, rubbed his ears, and continued to ask.

"Could it be those strange and unorthodox skills? But that's impossible. In the Central Plains, military spirit is the most important thing. The rest are inferior. Even if a Taoist priest came, he wouldn't be able to survive more than twenty moves from you and me!"

"Not only did he resist the might of my 450,000 soldiers with his physical strength alone, he also broke my Overlord Spear."

On that day, under the attack of Xiang Yu's 450,000 soldiers, Jin Chan's body had already turned into blood, bones and flesh. If he was not immortal, he would have died long ago. It's just that Xiang Yu was not aware of this.

"Oh, there are so many strange things in the world. I really want to meet this guy named Jin Chan during this attack on Qin."

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Li Cunxiao was not afraid, but became even more excited.

And the other side.

Ah sneeze~~~
"General, do you have a cold?"

Su Nan, who was riding on horseback, asked in surprise.

"No, my nose just suddenly itched!"

Jin Chan rubbed his nose and seemed a little confused.

During the sixty days that the Jin family army was training, Jin Chan was not just supervising them.

Ever since the overflow of the Five Qis was sealed by Mu Xuanzi, his body was still light, but there was nothing special about it.

However, on that day in Yongcheng, the "lead flower" that the evil girl Jia Nanfeng had been refining for a lifetime in order to gather the three flowers at the top of her head was absorbed by Qingtan and fed back to Queen Jinchan.

Jin Chan's body seemed to have a different feeling.

The Dantian area always feels hot from time to time.

It will even merge with the five qi in the body.

At first, Jin Chan didn't know what was going on until Mu Xuanzi explained it to him, then he suddenly realized.

The Five Qis converge at the Origin, nourishing the Five Elements and the Five Internal Organs. Before one has achieved great success, it can alleviate aging and prolong life.

The three flowers gather at the top of the head: the human flower becomes lead, the earth flower becomes silver, and the ceiling flower becomes gold. Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and finally gathering them at the top of the head, you can be immune to all disasters.

Although there are many branches of Xuanmen in the world, their principles and methods of cultivation are similar.

After hearing this, Jin Chan thought for a long time.

Since I am unable to condense my military spirit, why not try some Taoist magic?

After all, if I didn't have the fish belly, qingtan and other items, and only relied on my body, let alone meeting Xiang Yu, Zhao Guizhen and others, even if I were an ordinary general who could only condense the spirit of 10,000 soldiers, the best I could do was to be immortal.

But it is impossible to defeat the opponent, let alone kill him.

So, Jin Chan persuaded him with both emotion and reason, and finally asked Mu Xuanzi to teach him the Taoist arts of Yuetan Mountain in exchange for finding someone.

"Boss Jin, this is the Ten Thunders of my Yuetan Mountain. It is different from the Five Thunders of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The Ten Thunders is not only more varied, but also more powerful."

“The first thunder is called Yushu, the second is called Shenxiao, the third is called Dadong, the fourth is called Xiandu, the fifth is called Beiji, the sixth is called Taiyi, the seventh is called Zifu, the eighth is called Yuchen, the ninth is called Taixiao, and the tenth is called Taiji. If you learn all ten thunders, you will have a chance to comprehend the thirty-six thunders that reach the sky. However, since the founding of the Tianxia Xuanmen, no one has been able to comprehend even the nine thunders, the Taixiao thunder.”

"It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that the way to practice this thunder technique is indeed difficult for ordinary people to learn. It took me eighteen years to master the Six Thunders Taiyi."

This is what Mu Xuanzi said to Jin Chan when he handed over the "Ten Thunders Method" of Yuetan Mountain to Jin Chan.

But what Mu Xuanzi didn't expect was.

It took Jin Chan only one day to learn Yu Shu, two days to learn Shen Xiao, four days to comprehend Da Dong, eight days to reach Xiandu by just raising his hand, and sixteen days to understand the North Pole.

This exaggerated progress was unbelievable to Mu Xuanzi, not to mention Jin Chan himself.

Even on the way to Hangu Pass, on the thirty-second day after learning the Arctic Thunder, Jin Chan caught up with Mu Xuanzi and mastered the Six Thunders Taiyi Thunder.

“I didn’t expect I had this talent.”

The cicada on horseback looked up at the horizon.

Before, when he was in the Southern Wilderness, in order to escape from the Peach Blossom Spring as soon as possible, Ying Lou had read some Taoist techniques in the Lanshu Tower.

However, the Taoist arts are difficult to learn, and one needs someone from the Taoist sect to guide one.

At that time, Jin Chan was simply unable to comprehend it by himself.

Now it has suddenly become like this, which is probably related to the Five Qis Converging to Origin and Three Flowers Converging to the Top of the Head in his body.

Among the troops heading to Hangu Pass, the Jin family army was the last to set out.

Ten days passed after Li Xin, Zi'an and others arrived before Jin Chan slowly arrived.

And at this time Hangu Pass.

Thanks to the craftsmen working day and night, all the restoration has been completed.

Simultaneously.

The ninety days of national fortune donated by Ying Lou will dissipate in three days.

A four-nation war is about to break out.
