After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 143: Sword Enlightenment [1st update, please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Send Mrs. Wang away.

Send Mrs. Shi away.

after that.

Qi Sheng called Han Sangu again and asked about the progress of casting the Nine Cauldrons used for sand refining.

Han Sangu arrived with a valiant report: "Several elders, led by dozens of magicians and two hundred martial artists, are working day and night in the earth's orifices, using the subterranean fire to forge. They've already forged three tripods, and the remaining six will take about two or three days."

Qi Sheng nodded, knowing what was going on.

hardware.

cinnabar.

The Nine Cauldrons for refining elixir into magical sand.

These are the materials and equipment needed to set up the 'sand barrier array'.

After all these preparations are completed, it is time to set up the formation.

But at that time, nine mages were still needed to sit in charge of the Nine Cauldrons of Refining Sand for him.

Aunt Han, Madam Wang, and Madam Shi.

There are only three of them.

Qiu Wan is not a good choice. He is an unreliable person. Although his wife and daughter have devoted themselves to Qi Sheng physically and mentally, Qi Sheng still does not trust him.

"Even if we add Aunt Jing, there are only four of us."

The remaining five people may have to rely on Han Boqi and the other five elders to make do.

Fortunately, Qi Sheng is the main force in setting up the formation, and these nine sand tripods can help each other.

With this calculation, the supplies, equipment, and manpower are barely enough, so we can start setting up the formation in two or three days.

But before that, Qi Sheng was able to refine the 'Tian Gang' first.

Thousands of miles away.

We finally arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge.

……

"I was wondering why the magpies were calling on the branches today. It turns out that the Taoist friends from Yujing Cave have come to visit. I hope I will forgive you for not coming to greet them."

In the Hutiaojian market, a middle-aged monk came out with a smile on his face.

This person is surprisingly one of the Seven Sages of Danyang, and his name is Fang Jin.

The last time Qi Sheng and others passed by this place, it was Zhou Wu, one of the Seven Sages, who was in charge, but this time it was Fang Jin's turn.

This person was quite famous within the area for thousands of miles, but he was very enthusiastic. After exchanging a few words with Wang Qun and Wu Shuang, he looked at Qi Sheng and said, "I think this is the young hero Qi who killed the three Black Rock monsters at Tiger Leaping Gorge and defeated the demons at Changwei Mountain?"

Qi Sheng felt relieved after hearing this, and he clasped his fists and greeted Fang Jin: "Junior Qi Sheng, greetings to Senior Fang."

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

Fang Jin laughed heartily, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "Although Danyang Sect is thousands of miles away, I've heard that Young Master Qi shined brightly in Changwei Mountain. He single-handedly suppressed so many old demons that they couldn't breathe. It truly puts us to shame."

Qi Sheng hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior."

He actually wasn't very interested in all this flattery. Compared to all this empty talk, he was more concerned about whether he had collected all the rare treasures.

Fang Jin was also a very shrewd person. Even though Qi Sheng didn't show it on his face, he could guess: "Young man, you originally entrusted me with the Danyang Sect to collect rare treasures. Coincidentally, they were just gathered a few days ago. Why don't you all go to the Danyang Sect and rest for a while? Those treasures are very valuable and are all stored in the sect."

Qi Sheng looked at Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang agreed: "I'm sorry to bother you."

……

Return to Tiger Leaping Gorge.

First arrived at Danyang Gate.

Qi Sheng could clearly feel the huge difference in his treatment and the attitude of others.

Thinking back to when he first arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhou Tong completely ignored him until he heard that he had stolen the precious medicine from the Three Monsters of Black Rock and killed the old demon Liu Yebai, then he became enthusiastic.

When Qi Sheng killed the three Black Rock monsters in public, his attitude suddenly became more elevated. It was no longer to be said that he was respectful at first but later, but he was more respectful and treated Qi Sheng as an equal.

And this time.

As Qi Sheng studied in Changwei Mountain for several months and returned with honor, the attitude and standards of Danyang Gate towards Qi Sheng had already been raised to the highest level, with no room for improvement.

Everyone took their seats.

In addition to Fang Jin who was guarding Tiger Leaping Gorge and the two Five Elders who were in seclusion, there were also three of the Seven Sages who were not at the mountain gate and another Five Elder.

Among the five elders and seven sages of Danyang Sect, the three sages and two elders who were still in the sect were all present.

Pei Fenglang, one of the two elders, said, "The Netherworld Sect holds a Lutai performance every five years. Participation is restricted to young cultivators under the age of thirty. The top ten male cultivators and the top ten female cultivators, respectively, are promoted to the Netherworld Sect's True Disciples and can train in the Palace of Longevity or the Palace of the God of War. These twenty newly promoted True Disciples are often referred to as the 'Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes' by the Barbarian Frontier cultivators, representing the peak combat power of the Netherworld Sect's younger generation."

Pei Feng smiled at Qi Sheng and praised him, "Young Master Qi, you became famous in the battle at Changwei Mountain. I've heard you mentioned more than once, discussing you alongside the 'Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes.' They all think that when you return to the Netherworld Sect, you'll definitely be able to secure a position as a True Disciple at the 'Lutai Performance' in two years. You might even have a shot at becoming the Chief of the Ten True Disciples."

Lutai performance.

Ten dragons and ten phoenixes.

Qi Shengxin said that he might not lose to them, but he really didn't dare to brag about the "Ten True Transmissions".

What are the 'Top Ten Chiefs'?
The Netherworld Sect holds the "Lutai Performance" every five years, and the twenty strongest men and women of this session are promoted and called the "Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes".

These true disciples of the Dragon and Phoenix continued to accumulate, with twenty appearing every five years, and they retained their status as true disciples until they were sixty years old. The total number of true disciples in the Netherworld Sect always remained at more than one hundred.

Every ten years.

The Netherworld Sect will hold a "Chief Competition".

The ten chiefs of the older generation guard the ten major arenas respectively, and the other true disciples attack the arenas. Whoever can capture one and defend it to the end will become the new chief.

These ten chiefs almost represent the strongest fighting force of the Netherworld Sect under the age of sixty.

Whether it is 'Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes'.

Or the 'Top Ten Chiefs'.

They are the rankings and status within the Netherworld Sect, but because of the Netherworld Sect's great influence, they are well-known throughout the entire Barbarian Territory and are a real embodiment of identity and status.

Qi Sheng thought to himself that although he was quite powerful in Changwei Mountain, his reputation was still inferior to the famous "Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes" in the barbarian land. As for the "Ten Chiefs", it was not something he could challenge.

He was still modest: "'Ten Dragons and Ten Phoenixes' are truly the best of the best. How dare the younger generation be compared to them?"

However, he can participate in the "Lutai Performance" in two years. The reputation is secondary. The main point is that there are indeed many benefits.

……

When Qi Sheng passed by Tiger Leaping Gorge, he killed the three monsters of Black Rock and exchanged two unused Disha magic weapons from Danyang Sect for the thirty-six rare treasures needed to practice "Tian Gang".

Now that he has returned, the Danyang Gate Guards have all fulfilled their promise.

Qi Sheng's Solar Term Kungfu had been stagnant for a long time, and he couldn't wait any longer. He apologized and went into seclusion the very day he arrived at Danyang Gate, beginning to cultivate the Tiangang. However, Qi Sheng had already fully comprehended the Ninth Solar Term, and with the arrival of his precious treasures, he was able to cultivate the Tiangang with remarkable speed and success, completing it in just two days.

Tiangang achievement!

The ninth festival is complete!

From then on, he was protected by Tiangang, blessed by heaven and earth, with endless Gang energy. He was immune to water and fire, and difficult to be hurt by weapons. He almost became an indestructible body.

Qi Sheng's defensive strength increased greatly. Even if he stood in front of Liu Yebai, the Three Evils of Eternal Night, and the Four Monsters and Eighteen Eyes and was beaten by them for half an hour, it would be difficult for him to be killed.

Qi Sheng's dual cultivation of martial arts can bring his martial arts to this level, which is enough to give any magician or martial artist a headache.

But it's not over yet.

With the achievement of 'Tian Gang', Qi Sheng can make further progress.

He didn't hesitate, he just did it in one go——

【Power: -3100】

[The Tenth Solar Term: Introduction] → [The Tenth Solar Term: Perfection]

……

With Qi Sheng's rapid progress in the immortal way, his progress in martial arts was no longer able to bring about any major breakthrough in his strength.

Qi Sheng now practices martial arts more to provide himself with an extra layer of protection.

Think of the 'Black Rock Three'.

Think about 'The Golden Hoop Old Man' again.

The former was killed by Qi Sheng at close range, a miserable death.

The latter was plotted against by Mrs. Hong and died a hasty death.

They are all negative examples.

A positive example is Liehuo Sanren, who was clearly inferior to Qi Sheng, and whose Fire Flag was restrained and broken, but because he had outstanding martial arts skills, he managed to block Qi Sheng's attack and escape with his life.

This shows that martial arts are first-rate in protecting one’s life and preventing accidents at close range.

As for why the vast majority of Barbarian cultivators do not practice martial arts—

Is that because they don't want to repair it?

I just don’t have the ability!
……

Tiangang is complete.

Qi Sheng pretended to be still in seclusion and returned to Wankuling without stopping.

Immortal cave, foggy cave.

Nun Jingyin has been comprehending the "Eight Styles of Tragic Fog" for seven days.

this day.

The nun was blessed with an epiphany and immediately understood the "Fourth Style of Tragic Fog: Black Fog Sky Light".

This move focuses on the "body-protecting sword light". Master Jingyin is conservative in character, so it is not surprising that she was the first to comprehend this move in "Eight Styles of Tragic Mist".

Qi Sheng stepped forward: "Congratulations!"

Nun Jingyin was also delighted: "The other seven moves in the 'Eight Moves of Mist' are all obscure. The only sword intent of the fourth move I can get is this one."

But that's enough.

The fourth move was completed in one go, and all nine sword techniques were mastered. He was only one step away from mastering the fourth move and the ultimate level of sword technique, the 'Body-Protecting Sword Light'.

At this moment, Master Jingyin has actually caught up with Yuan Duzi, who has practiced sword for decades, in terms of swordsmanship alone.

Once she refines the 'Fourth Sword of Mist' corresponding to the 'Fourth Style of Mist', she will have a true fifth-tier combat power and be a true top master in the Western Territory.

Although it is not comprehensive enough, it is ultimately too high.

Of course it is cause for celebration.

The nun looked at the four walls of the stone chamber. After she comprehended the fourth sword intent, the fourth sword marks, sword moves and sword techniques on the wall had disappeared and were no longer visible. The stone wall became smooth again.

She turned to look at Qi Sheng: "The remaining seven moves may be able to create seven sword masters."

That’s what I said.

Qi Sheng has quite a lot of cards in his hand——

Eight Styles of Tragic Fog.

Eight Styles of Sad Wind.

Eight Styles of Bitter Rain.

Just these three sets of sword techniques plus three sets of flying swords, if all of them are like Master Jingyin, are enough to create twenty-four top masters.

In addition to Master Jingyin, there are still twenty-three seats left vacant.

"Madam Wang, it's not possible for the time being."

"Han Zhi can't do it either."

"Third Aunt, you can."

"Mrs. Shi is also acceptable."

"Qiu Ling's foundation is too shallow, that won't work either."

As for the others——

Liu Rongrong, Ju Ying, Yu Yan, You Zhi, Zhang Long, Ma Han, Jiang Shu, Wu Shuang, Wang Ling, Madam Gong, Madam Qin (Wang Chongsu), and Madam Hong (Ji Deng).

Qi Sheng counted them carefully, and found that they were either warriors or it was not appropriate to reveal the immortal palace and cave.

Or maybe you are not familiar with it.

It's a pity that he has so many sword skills that could help people reach the top level overnight, but he can't give them away or bring anyone with him.

Qi Sheng was helpless: "Ju Ying, Rong Rong, Zhang Long, Ma Han, I also tried to let them cultivate immortality, but they are all dull and not cut out for it."

If they could cultivate immortality, they would have done so long ago, without having to wait until now.

no way.

As for Jiang Shu and Wu Shuang, it's not that time yet, so they have to wait for a more appropriate time.

“Old people are hard to transform.”

"I have to look for more new talents."

Qi Sheng pondered.
