Eternal Sword

Chapter 638: Sympathy between Heaven and Earth
The two of them chatted casually in the court, ignoring everyone else. No one dared to say a word, whether it was the Great Kunmi or the civil and military officials below.

One of them has an extraordinary status in the Wusun Kingdom and has obtained the Tianshan Bodhi. His injuries are about to heal and he will regain his master's strength.

The other one has a very important background, the Demon Lord of Xiling.

Besides, they had just defeated the barbarian army in the battle of Tianguan, killed countless enemies, and were at their peak of power. Who would dare to interrupt them at this time?

Prime Minister Qi talks a lot of nonsense every day.

But above the Heavenly Gate, he witnessed with his own eyes the might of Chen Tang who was invincible, and at this moment he became obedient and did not dare to say a word.

The fat old man ate the blood bodhi, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, while Chen Tang guarded him beside him.

But within a few minutes, the fat old man's face gradually became rosy and his complexion recovered a lot.

"How about it?"

Chen Tang asked hurriedly when he saw the fat old man open his eyes and finish regulating his breathing.

Whether the fat old man can recover from his injuries and his recovery may very likely change the situation of many major events.

Half a year later, the big black dog will be executed in the capital.

The imminent crisis was the Battle of Liangzhou.

The fat old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This blood bodhi really has the miraculous effect of repairing the dantian, and it even nourishes the soul. It has obviously improved. At this rate, the dantian may be healed in about half a month."

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but a broken dantian can be repaired in just half a month, which is very fast.

However, the situation in Liangzhou is critical and I’m afraid it won’t last that long.

The barbarian army's front line has been cut off from food and grass, and the barbarian army commander has only two options.

Either take Liangzhou City in one fell swoop, or retreat.

After Ba Shi Chi Feng went back, the Barbarian Army, which had two powerful masters, mobilized a large number of troops, captured several cities in succession, and occupied a large area of ​​Liangzhou. It was obviously impossible for them to retreat easily.

At that time, the barbarian army will definitely launch a general attack and capture Liangzhou City as quickly as possible.

"Where are Chang Sunming, Li Zhongmou and the others?"

Chen Tang asked.

"I just heard from Prime Minister Qi that the four of them were worried about the situation in Liangzhou, so they left Tianguan three days ago and rushed to Liangzhou."

The fat old man frowned and said, "I am afraid that I can't help in the short term in my current condition. I don't know if Liangzhou can survive for more than half a month."

Chen Tang stood up and said, "I will go to Liangzhou now and try to hold on for as long as possible."

"You wait!"

The fat old man also stood up and grabbed Chen Tang.

After eating the blood bodhi just now, he has recovered a lot of strength and can stand up and move freely.

"What is your current level of cultivation?"

The fat old man found that he couldn't see through Chen Tang and couldn't help asking.

"It's still the third rank."

Chen Tang said: "But, he can defeat the Grandmaster."

"Another nonsense."

The fat old man's eyes widened.

Even if it is the third level, there is still a gap of two major realms between him and the Grandmaster.

He is a master himself and understands many of the master's methods.

How could a third-rank warrior possibly defeat a master?

Even Emperor Wu couldn't do it back then.

But when he saw Chen Tang smiling without saying anything, his calm demeanor made him feel a little shocked, and he asked again, "Are you serious?"

Chen Tang nodded and said with a smile: "The Tyrant Lion chased all the way to Tianshan Mountain, but I beat him away."

The fat old man said, "But the leader of the Crazy Lion Army, Crazy Lion Tur, is a Grandmaster, and his combat power has been greatly improved."

"I probably can't beat a Grandmaster."

Chen Tang shook his head.

Although his strength is superior to that of a lower-level Grandmaster, the gap between the two is not that big.

There is not much chance of winning against the Grandmaster.

Chen Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "However, if I want to leave, even if two masters join forces, they can't stop me."

The fat old man nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad! Even if you can't beat them, being able to run away is also a skill."

After a pause, the fat old man shook his head and said, "However, when two armies confront each other on the battlefield, there is no need to fight in the arena. Just being able to run may not be useful."

Even if Chen Tang could escape by himself, he couldn't move away from Liangzhou City.

The defenders and civilians in the city could not escape.

Only by repelling the barbarian army can the crisis in Liangzhou be resolved.

Chen Tang said: "If I can break through to the second level of Xiantian, maybe I can defeat the Grandmaster. However, I spent a night in Tianshan to meditate on the Dao, but I still can't find the method."

The fat old man said, "How can one realize the innate truth in one night?"

"The power accumulated in my body is enough, and there may even be a surplus."

Chen Tang said: "However, I still can't find an opportunity to break through to the Xiantian realm. Is there any shortcut?"

"No."

The fat old man shook his head and said, "You must first understand the reason for this realm. What is the Xiantian realm? In the realm before this, warriors must cultivate the acquired essence in their bodies, that is, the essence of water and grain eaten into the stomach, and refine it into acquired internal Qi."

"After reaching the third level of cultivation, the eight extraordinary meridians are opened up, and a small world is formed within the body, which allows one to better perceive the great world outside."

"So, whether you are a physical or a Qi practitioner, you need to comprehend all the forces in the world, feel nature, spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, morning glow, morning dew, sun, moon, stars, etc. These are the essence of the world, and they exist innately."

"Feel one of the innate essences, refine it, integrate it into your own Dantian, and merge it with the internal energy, and it will transform into the innate true qi."

Chen Tang suddenly realized.

The fat old man said, "It's like some warriors who draw innate essence from the snowy icebergs. The innate true qi they cultivate may emit a chill."

"Some warriors may refine innate essence from plants and trees. Their innate true qi may be relatively gentle and have miraculous effects in healing injuries."

"Of course, the innate true qi of many warriors does not have any attributes, but after all, it is the refining of innate essence, the internal qi is transformed, and the strength is greatly improved, which goes without saying."

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, the yin and yang energy in his Dantian can also be considered a kind of attribute. Before it transformed into the innate true qi, he cultivated two attributes. This alone can show the power of Kunpeng's breathing method.

However, his situation is somewhat different from that of ordinary Qi-refining warriors.

He is not only a Qi cultivator, he is also a body cultivator.

The fat old man seemed to see what Chen Tang was thinking, and said: "Whether it is Qi training or body training, you need to get in touch with nature, feel nature, and even integrate into nature."

"There is no shortcut to this process. It takes time to settle. I heard that he once walked all over China, through jungles and swamps, and stepped on icebergs and snow. He walked with the sky as his blanket, the earth as his bed, the stars as his companions, and the sun and moon as his companions. It took him a full year. By chance, when he was washing his feet by the stream, he suddenly realized the truth and stepped into the Xiantian realm."

When mentioning Emperor Wu, the fat old man's eyes were full of admiration.

The fat old man said: "In fact, this process is a process of interaction between the inner small world and the outer big world.

"The interaction between heaven and earth..." Chen Tang murmured softly, as if thinking about something.

In this case, it might be easier for him to enter the innate realm.

Refining the body can open up the twelve meridians, and refining qi can open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

During this process, all 365 acupoints in Chen Tang's body have been opened.

In other words, his inner world is more likely to resonate with the outer world!

But he lacked an opportunity.

I have been thinking too much and overusing my brain recently.

Chen Tang felt a sharp pain in his head again, and couldn't help but show pain on his face. He subconsciously pressed his eyebrows and rubbed them gently.

"what happened to you?"

The fat old man asked with some concern.

"Nothing, just a minor injury."

Chen Tang smiled.

Liangzhou was in danger, and he had to rush there as soon as possible. He had no chance to feel the world and feel nature.

Moreover, before communicating with heaven and earth, he must first heal the injuries to his soul.

Otherwise, if you think too much, your soul will not be able to bear it, which is really harmful to your brain.

After getting some inspiration from the fat old man, Chen Tang stopped lingering and said, "Old man, you can rest here and recover. I will go to Liangzhou to help. I will try to delay it as long as possible until you can come to the rescue."

"Row!"

The fat old man clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Don't be stubborn. If it really doesn't work, get out of here by yourself. Don't die there like a fool!"

In fact, he was already past the age of passion, and after his Dantian was destroyed, he became somewhat decadent and depressed.

But now, this feeling of being needed has rekindled his fighting spirit!

The fat old man thought to himself, "It seems that without me, Yibu Yunxiao, the world will not be able to survive! These younger generations are still a little weak after all, and they need help from us old guys."

As they were about to walk out of the hall, Chen Tang remembered something and asked, "Has my mount come back? Has anyone seen it?"

Everyone looked confused and shook their heads.

It seems that Hu Leibao didn't come back.

If it were to show up, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

I don't know where this horse has gone.

Qi Xiang reacted very quickly, thinking that Chen Tang was hinting at him, and hurriedly said, "Come here, prepare a good horse for His Majesty the Demon Lord!"

"No need."

Chen Tang shook his head slightly.

The fat old man asked, "How do you get there? It will probably take four or five days to get to Liangzhou City, even if you travel day and night."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Fly over there."

The fat old man curled his lips and said, "You are just bragging."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall. Many guards gathered outside, and some of them were holding bows and arrows.

"what happened?"

Qi Xiang frowned and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

The commander of the imperial guards said, "Sir Qi, a golden eagle has appeared and has been circling over the palace. We are worried that it will hurt someone, so we are thinking of shooting it down!"

"Golden Eagle?"

When the fat old man heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly walked outside the hall. When he looked up, his face changed.

"Are you looking for death? Put it down!"

When the fat old man saw the guards holding bows and arrows and aiming at them, he cursed angrily, rushed forward and started beating them, and threw all the bows and arrows in the hands of the guards to the ground.

"Senior, what are you so angry about?"

Everyone was stunned after being beaten.

The fat old man pointed at the golden eagle in the sky and said in a deep voice: "Remember this, this is the sacred beast of Tianshan Mountain. Whenever I see it, I will give it some distance and show respect. Do you have the guts to shoot it with arrows?"

The guards looked aggrieved, as they had never seen this golden eagle before.

Qi Xiang asked: "But it has been hovering in the sky and won't leave. What's going on?"

"Wait for me."

Chen Tang said lightly, then waved his hand towards the sky and shouted, "Brother Eagle, come down."

"Woo!"

The little golden roc in the sky let out a long roar and landed quickly.

The yin and yang energies in Chen Tang's body circulated, and he flew into the air, and in the blink of an eye he jumped onto the back of Little Golden Peng.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

The fat old man's eyes widened with shock, and he was speechless.

"Let's go."

Chen Tang waved his hand, and the little golden roc turned into a golden light, broke through the air, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After a while, the fat old man finally took a breath and muttered, "This kid is even more pretentious than me. He stole all the limelight..."
