Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 85 Past Events

Hearing Makino's words, Lin Xingyu was startled and looked forward.

Even though such a long journey was nothing to Lin Xingyu, he still had some guesses about the address of the Body Sect.

In today's era, in order to obtain various resources, the Federation has scraped away the land of Douluo Continent several times. The Star Dou Great Forest has almost been flattened and has now become a protected area.

Most areas of the continent have been explored, even the offshore areas have not been spared, and even the other two continents have been set their sights.

In addition, the Body Sect itself is very well hidden, and there are only a few disciples in the sect, but their strength is not weak.

It can be inferred that the places that meet the requirements of the Body Sect are only those places. There are no important resources in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, and the living environment is relatively harsh. However, this place can also hone people's physique. For the owners of the Body Martial Soul, honing the physique is the same as honing the martial soul. It is indeed a good place for the Body Sect to hide its sect.

Lin Xingyu looked forward and saw a towering gate standing not far away, with three large characters "Benti Sect" engraved on it.

What surprised Lin Xingyu was that he only noticed this mountain gate after he walked so close and was reminded by Muye. Such a big mountain gate should have been seen by him from a long distance.

Lin Xingyu carefully looked at the mountain gate of the Body Sect and was surprised to find that not only the mountain gate, but even the entire mountain was shrouded in a soul guide formation, and the mountain was full of engraved soul guide formations.

I came to the mountain gate with Makino and watched him input something on the gate bit by bit.

Finally, Makino took out a small soul guide and handed it to Lin Xingyu.

"This is yours. It contains all kinds of information about the sect. You can take it and read it slowly."

Lin Xingyu took it and took a look. It was no different from an ordinary communication soul guide.

After casually accepting it, the two of them went up the stairs one by one.

Unlike all the cities Lin Xingyu had been to before, the types of buildings in the Body Sect were very diverse, including cities built with various blue bricks and those directly built with modern metals.

It can be said that the evolution of architecture over thousands of years can be seen here.

There were not many people in the Body Sect. Lin Xingyu followed Muye all the way to the Patriarch Hall at the highest point of the mountain gate. Along the way, including in various rooms, he saw only a dozen people in total.

Compared with other sects, it can be said that the loss of talent is serious.

After Lin Xingyu entered the Ancestral Hall, he saw full-length portraits of soul masters enshrined there.

The people in the portraits include men and women, old and young.

Muye looked at the portraits and said, "Those enshrined here are all the successive patriarchs of the Benti Sect. Over the past 16,000 years, there have been quite a few people worshipping here."

"Come with me, let's just pay our respects to the First Ancestor and your Grandmaster, and we won't have to pay our respects to the rest one by one."

"Yes, teacher." Lin Xingyu answered respectfully.

Lin Xingyu followed Muye and paid his respects to the founder and master of the Benti Sect.

During this process, Muye looked at Lin Xingyu with a complicated expression. Perhaps this was the hope for the rise of the Body Sect again, as the Body Sect had been in decline for too long.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Muye specially prepared a good meal for Lin Xingyu.

After walking in the mountains for several days, they naturally had nothing to eat except various pills and dry food. However, Muye's cooking skills were as superb as ever. The dinner was not only nutritious but also tasted great.

As the first bite of food entered his mouth, Lin Xingyu immediately felt an extreme enjoyment spreading from his taste buds to his entire body, making him intoxicated. Having not eaten anything decent for several days, Lin Xingyu could not help but eat it in big mouthfuls.

Looking at Lin Xingyu who was enjoying the food, Makino said with a smile: "Eat slowly. What I prepared for you is definitely enough."

Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "Master, I haven't seen many disciples along the way. Is there already so few people in our sect?"

Hearing Lin Xingyu's question, Muye nodded somewhat melancholy, "There really aren't many disciples left in the sect."

Lin Xingyu asked curiously, "Our Benti Sect's treatment is pretty good, so why aren't there many people?"

Muye was somewhat happy to hear that Lin Xingyu had already regarded him as a member of the Benti Sect.

The reason why he took Lin Xingyu through the mountains and slowly walked back to the sect and told him that his master had taken him in the same way and took him directly to the Patriarch's Hall as soon as he entered the sect was to enhance Lin Xingyu's sense of identity with the sect!
Honor, welfare, and emotion are all means to enhance disciples' sense of identification with the sect. Thinking of this, Muye couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Shrek is doing really well in terms of honor.

Dispelling these thoughts, Muye said, "Generally speaking, our sect has already declined. As for the reasons for this decline, there are many."

"Let me first discuss the reasons behind the rise of our Body Sect. Initially, our Body Martial Soul wasn't very powerful. It was the original founder who, after being hunted down, unleashed his potential and discovered the wonderful benefits of a second awakening of his Martial Soul. He relied on the powerful strength of his Martial Soul after this second awakening."

"This ancestor founded the Body Sect. Initially, it was just a group of local martial spirits huddling together for warmth. Later, it gradually grew stronger, and various sect secrets were also developed one by one by the predecessors."

"The Body Sect grew stronger day by day, but later on, with the development of soul guides, especially the heavy damage suffered by the Sun-Moon Empire ten thousand years ago, and the secret method of the second awakening, other forces also mastered it one by one."

"It's just that other organizations haven't perfected the secret method of the second awakening as we have. If an organization wants to stand on the continent, it must have some special methods."

"After other sects mastered the method of secondary awakening of martial souls, our advantage was greatly reduced. Coupled with the rise of soul guides, ten thousand years ago, our sect rejected these external objects outside the body because martial souls are one's own."

"Although we have worked hard to develop soul guides, they are still inferior to those of other forces. In addition, the sect has always only accepted members with their own martial souls. The number of people is small, so the possibility of successful people is naturally smaller."

"With the establishment of the Federation, we've gathered resources from all over the place. Since we have fewer people, our speed of gathering resources has naturally slowed down."

"These are just minor matters after all. If there is an invincible strongman in the sect, then naturally everything will not be a problem. However, in this regard, the sect has many problems."

"You've also seen that innate secret method. This method requires cultivation from infancy, consumes a tremendous amount of resources, and has a high probability of failure. However, once successful, it can forge a powerful body warrior, enough to allow the Body Sect to prosper for hundreds of years."

"But for a long time before, everyone who tried this secret method died. The sect wasted a huge amount of resources, but in the end, they gained nothing. They lost the means to steadily cultivate top-level experts, which led to several generations of top-level experts being cut off. In my generation, I didn't live up to my expectations, took the wrong path, and am now trapped here."

At the end of the conversation, Makino seemed a little melancholy.

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu persuaded: "Master, don't worry, I will make the sect strong again in the future."

Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Muye laughed twice with relief.

"Although our Benti Sect has declined, that is only compared with the top forces. Compared with the average strength, we are still strong. Besides, I have found the way forward, and it won't be long before I can break through the bottleneck!" The food on the table gradually disappeared. Lin Xingyu touched his stomach with satisfaction, and streams of heat were flowing from his stomach to his limbs.

Seeing that Lin Xingyu had finished eating, Muye said, "Go back and rest tomorrow. I will take you to the sect's secret realm tomorrow and put the gift for you there."

"Thank you teacher!"

……

The next day, Lin Xingyu slowly woke up from his sleep. He had a good sleep last night.

Although meditation can replace sleep, it is better to take a nap after a long period of meditation. This not only relaxes the body and mind, but also improves the speed of one's practice.

After traveling long distances for several days, Lin Xingyu finally relaxed at the sect.

Listening to the cold wind outside, Lin Xingyu felt that he had slept very comfortably.

After getting dressed and washing up, Lin Xingyu slowly walked out of the room. It was still early and there was a biting cold wind outside. Lin Xingyu was surprised to find that the disciples of the Body Sect had already started exercising outside early.

"As expected of a physical fitness specialist," Lin Xingyu sighed inwardly. He had never seen such a diligent student in Donghai College.

The tradition has been passed down steadily for more than 16,000 years, and the atmosphere in the Body Sect is still very good.

After completing his morning routine, Lin Xingyu was somewhat surprised to see Makino walking towards him in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Xingyu, let's go eat first and meet your senior brother."

"it is good."

When Lin Xingyu followed Makino to the restaurant, he saw a burly young man with a faint golden glow all over his body. He had a terrifying power all over his body.

"You two should get to know each other first. This is my new disciple Lin Xingyu, and this is your senior brother A Ruheng. Let's eat first, I have something else to do after dinner." Muye said.

"Senior Brother!" Lin Xingyu greeted first.

"Junior brother." Ah Ruheng greeted him with a smile, and looked at his new junior brother with some curiosity.

Lin Xingyu and A Ruheng's first meeting took place under such circumstances.

Makino said, "You two will be fellow disciples from now on. Please take care of each other."

"Yes, teacher." They both said at the same time.

Then the two asked each other some basic information.

Lin Xingyu learned that at this point in time, A Ruheng was still practicing the secret technique of the Body Sect, the Infallible Golden Body.

A Ruheng had some understanding of this junior fellow of his.

However, faced with the delicious food served by Makino, the two of them quickly became intimate.

"He's a strong man!" Looking at Lin Xingyu who was eating delicious food non-stop, A Ruheng sighed in his heart.

Because the Qi and blood power of the Body Martial Soul are very powerful, everyone in the Body Sect is very good at eating. Those who cannot eat are not necessarily weak, but those who can eat must be strong!
Half an hour later, as Lin Xingyu swallowed the last bite of food, he felt the blood in his body boiling.

Seeing that both of them had finished eating, Muye said, "Aruheng, your training plan for today remains the same. Xingyu, come with me."

Muye took Lin Xingyu out of the door and walked towards the back mountain. Walking on the snow on the road, Lin Xingyu was a little curious about what Muye was going to prepare for him.

"What do you think of your senior brother!" Makino suddenly said.

"He is a very good person with great talent. He is an excellent heir." Lin Xingyu said.

"Yes, A Ruheng is indeed a good heir. He is the only person in hundreds of years who has successfully cultivated the innate secret method. Moreover, he has a good will. It's just that he is too upright, so it is difficult for him to understand all the twists and turns." Makino said with a sigh.

"Before you appeared, I had always trained him as my heir. Now that you are here, and seeing that you two get along well, I feel relieved." Makino nodded.

At the end of the conversation, Muye said with some embarrassment: "Xingyu, regarding those secret techniques you gave me, I have some that I want to pass on to your senior brother."

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu spoke directly: "Since I have already given those secret techniques to Master, Master can decide who to pass them on to. Besides, I have seen that Senior Brother is a very good person. If Master wants to teach him, there will naturally be no problem."

Muye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Xingyu's words. Although this was the truth, this thing was brought out by Lin Xingyu after all. He still had to ask Lin Xingyu's opinion before teaching it to anyone.

To avoid any unpleasant things in the future. After all, this thing is very valuable, and it can even be said to be more precious than all the secrets in the body. If Lin Xingyu is willing, he can even use these secrets to open another top-level sect in the future.

These two disciples are both good kids, Makino sighed in his heart.

After handing these secret methods over to Aruheng, it should be much easier for Aruheng to practice the Immaculate Golden Body.

In this way, within a few decades, two top-level masters should appear in the Body Sect. By then, the wish of the Body Sect to revive may be realized in my hands!
Thinking of this, Makino felt a little proud for a moment.

"We've arrived!"

Makino suddenly spoke up.

Lin Xingyu looked at the destination carefully. In front of him was a tall stone house with various soul guide arrays engraved around it. If those soul guide arrays were removed, there would be nothing special about this place.

If this place was so ordinary, Makino wouldn't have brought me here.

Lin Xingyu carefully looked at the patterns of the soul magic array.

"Is this a seal? No, there are also energy gathering, soul calming, and refining?" The more Lin Xingyu looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. These soul guide arrays seemed to be sealing and refining the things under the house.

"That's right! You can actually see the soul guide patterns here!" Makino said with some surprise.
