Eternal Sword

Chapter 552 Dao Sect
"You are training your body horizontally and strengthening your internal organs. After entering the third level, you need to cultivate your qi and blood and become proficient in the way of the sword."

Jian Zong said: "I'm afraid the only one who can guide you is Emperor Wu."

When Emperor Wu was mentioned, Chen Tang looked calm and pretended not to hear anything.

Regardless of whether Jian Zong did it intentionally or unintentionally, he could not reveal any news about Emperor Wu.

"I can only point you in a few directions, which may be useful to you."

Jian Zong pondered and said, "Your greatest reliance is the state of entering the spirit, which involves the power of the soul. If you want to continue to maintain this advantage, find a way to strengthen the soul and always stay ahead. Perhaps you will have a certain advantage against a master."

Chen Tang actually mastered a method of visualization to strengthen the soul.

However, I don’t know how long it will take to cultivate my soul to be stronger than that of a grandmaster.

Jian Zong continued, "Second, in terms of strength, it is possible to find someone who can rival the Grandmaster."

"How can this be?"

Ye Xuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Although Chen Tang has a solid foundation and has cultivated to the extreme in every realm, he has practiced the most advanced techniques, such as Kunxi Method and Vajra Indestructible Technique, to train his body and strengthen his internal organs.

But there is a natural gap between the great realms after all.

The greater the difference, the greater the disparity in power.

In other words, if he entered the third rank, he would be able to compete with the second rank in terms of strength, but he would be unable to resist the power of the Grandmaster.

"Others can't, but he might be able to."

Jian Zong took a look at Chen Tang's Dantian and said, "There is a Vajra relic sealed in your Dantian, which is an object from outside the domain. If you can find a way to take it out, you have a spirit in your Niwan Palace, so you don't have to worry about going astray. Perhaps you can try to practice two methods of martial arts at the same time."

Emperor Wu once mentioned this to Chen Tang.

One is the normal practice method, the fifth level inner elixir, which uses the dantian to store internal energy, open the nine orifices, open the eight extraordinary meridians, and practice internal strength.

The other type is like Emperor Wu and Chen Tang, who use the internal organs as elixir, gather the five qi to open up the twelve meridians of the human body, and cultivate qi and blood.

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "This Vajra Relic has merged with my Dantian. A Zen master once said that if I were to take it out, my Dantian would be completely destroyed."

"good."

Jian Zong nodded and said, "This time when you return to Beiqian, you must find Emperor Wu as soon as possible. He may be the only one in the world who has the solution."

Ye Xuan was shocked and asked, "Is Emperor Wu really not dead?"

He had only guessed about this before and was not sure.

Chen Tang remained calm, but many doubts also arose in his mind.

From what Jian Zong said, it seemed that he knew that Emperor Wu was not dead.

From a normal person's perspective, even if they could see the origin of his martial arts, they would guess that it might not have been taught by the Emperor himself.

Ye Xuan’s reaction was normal.

After all, everyone in the world knows that Emperor Wu has been dead for decades.

Test him?

It should not be.

As the Sword Master, it is totally unnecessary.

But why did the Sword Sect ask him to find the Martial Emperor as soon as possible?

Logically speaking, the Sword Sect and the Martial Emperor had fought a great battle on Xiajiang River and should have been mortal enemies.

However, there was not a trace of hostility towards Emperor Wu in Jian Zong's tone.

Jian Zong seemed to see Chen Tang's doubts, smiled, and said: "Since you have obtained the true teachings of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu must still be alive."

Chen Tang neither admitted nor denied it, but simply asked, "Senior, it seems that you have no hostility towards Emperor Wu?"

"The battle between us in Xiajiang happened only because of our different ideologies. In fact, there is no deep hatred between us. If he had not been plotted against, I alone would not have been able to stop him."

Jian Zong seemed to recall that past event, and sighed, muttering softly: "Wu Emperor, Wu Emperor, decades ago, he was indeed invincible in the world!"

Regarding the Battle of Xiajiang, Dragon Tiger Guard Kou Zhenshan had mentioned it in Yanyu Village that year, saying that a peerless master appeared at that time, who turned plants and trees into soldiers holding weapons, and there were also some powerful people flying on cranes, who were in the sky and controlled flying swords to kill people. And from Mingyue Sanren, Chen Tang learned that during the Battle of Xiajiang, the Hidden Sect also assassinated the Emperor Wu.

But Mingyue Sanren was seriously injured and fell into the river, and he was not aware of many things that happened in the battle.

I'm afraid no one knows the inside story of the Xiajiang battle better than Jian Zong.

Chen Tang couldn't help but ask, "Who was the one who plotted against Emperor Wu back then? Was it this person who caused all the panic and fear?"

"The wind is howling, and the grass and trees are all enemies?"

Jian Zong felt a little surprised when he heard these eight words, but he soon understood them and nodded, "This is exactly what this person did."

"This person is the most mysterious of the nine sects in the world, Dao Sect!"

"Ah, it's him!"

Chen Tang exclaimed softly.

Jian Zong said: "No one knows where Dao Zong came from, and no one knows his master. He rarely shows up, and I have only seen him twice. Emperor Wu once speculated that he might be from outside the domain."

"People from outside the territory?"

Chen Tang was shocked.

Jian Zong said: "There are some things from outside the domain in this world, such as the Vajra Relic in your body, the giant monster in the East China Sea, the Tianshan Golden Eagle and other mythical beasts, all of which are creatures from outside the domain."

"This world cannot breed such powerful and strange beasts. Only those outside the domain can do so."

Chen Tang thought to himself: "The mountain king is probably from outside the domain."

How did these foreign things, foreign creatures, including foreign people, come here?
"Why did Dao Zong plot against Emperor Wu?"

Chen Tang asked.

"Hard to say."

Jian Zong shook his head and said, "Perhaps it has something to do with the battle at Kunlun Mountain that year."

A battle in Kunlun Mountains?
What is this again?
Chen Tang looked confused, having never heard of this before.

Jian Zong suddenly said: "In fact, a hundred years ago, the end of martial arts in this world was only the first-grade Shenzhao. No one knew what was behind the Shenzhao realm, and how to practice."

Chen Tang said: "In other words, the strongest person a hundred years ago was the Grandmaster?"

"good."

Jian Zong nodded.

Chen Tang asked: "How did the Transformation Realm appear, and what happened to the Nine Sects of the World later?"

Jian Zong said: "Later, a martial arts genius with amazing talent appeared out of nowhere. He became a master at the age of forty, established a country with martial arts, quelled nearly a hundred years of war, unified the tribes, and established the Great Wu Dynasty."

The martial arts genius mentioned by Jian Zong is none other than the Martial Emperor.

Chen Tang had heard the fat old man mention this matter before.

Jian Zong said: "He personally led the army to sweep across all the major sects in the North Shenzhou, confiscated all kinds of secret manuals and techniques, and searched for all things outside the domain. Finally, at the age of 46, he deduced the realm after the divine illumination, named it 'Transformation Realm', and became the first Grandmaster of Transformation Realm in the world!"

The three young men, Chen Tang, Ye Yushi and A Li, were stunned and shocked.

The state of transformation was actually deduced by Emperor Wu!
Chen Tang had heard the fat old man mention the story of Emperor Wu sweeping across all the sects in Northern Shenzhou, and he had also heard Zen Buddhism mention that the Vajra Relic passed through the hands of Emperor Wu.

At that time, he simply thought that Emperor Wu believed that the Jianghu forces were too powerful and posed a threat to the imperial court, so he led the army to suppress them.

Unexpectedly, there is this reason.

It is already as difficult as ascending to heaven to cultivate from a master to a grand master.

After so many years, there are only a few people who have been promoted to grand masters.

What's more, it has deduced an unprecedented realm and brought the martial arts here to another level!
This is a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than cultivating to become a grandmaster!
No wonder, the state of transformation is not up to standard.

Because, originally, there were only nine levels in martial arts.

And the state of transformation was created by Emperor Wu!
