Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

If you know what's good for you, submit to me and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, you'll die here."

After Murong Longcheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Canghai and continued, "As for you, Li Canghai, you failed to defeat me three months ago, and now you are no longer my opponent."

"Hmph..." Li Canghai snorted coldly, "There's no point in talking any more. Let's have a fight outside the city and let me see how far you've advanced. What makes you so arrogant and so defiant?"

After Li Canghai finished speaking, he took off into the air and flew from the three-meter-high city wall to the outside of the city, as ethereal as a fairy descending to earth.

Zhang Ziyang and Xiang Kui also leaped up and immediately stood on the flat ground twenty feet outside the city from the city wall.

Murong Longcheng looked at his men behind him and ordered, "You all retreat. After this battle, there will be no more obstacles for me."

"Yes, we wish the Buddha a great victory and the establishment of a Buddhist kingdom on earth." Thousands of people in the rear responded in unison.

These people were converted by the Buddhist teachings. In their hearts, Murong Longcheng was the Buddha, a Buddha higher than the emperor, so they did not call him Your Majesty, but Buddha.

Murong Longcheng shouted, "You have repeatedly stopped me. Today, I will let you be buried with the Song Dynasty."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Longcheng was covered in golden light, and a Buddha statue that was more than four feet and nearly five feet thick enveloped him.

Murong Longcheng took the lead in launching an attack. He waved his hands and chanted a Sanskrit mantra, the third of the seven Brahma moves, "Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm".

In an instant, he sent out nine palm prints, three of which attacked one person at a time. With the help of "compassionate mood" and vows, the back palm pushed the front palm, and the power increased greatly. Wherever it passed, the ground was covered with flying dust and sand and rocks.

Li Canghai frowned. Murong Longcheng's strength had increased again. She took a deep breath, slowly raised her right hand, and gracefully rotated it in the air.

With this action, an invisible wind state of mind emanated from him, adding to his true energy, like a surging whirlwind.

Then, she swung her palms forward twice, each time with the force of thunder.

In an instant, the sound of whistling wind was heard, like thousands of horses galloping, or like waves crashing against the shore.

The palm wind quickly gathered into a huge storm, sweeping towards Murong Longcheng's three Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palms with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the wind blew up dust and sand, and all the debris in its path was ruthlessly swept into it, and then turned into powder under the violent stirring.

At this moment, Xiang Kui on the opposite side was not to be outdone. He shouted fiercely, and with a wave of his hands, he unleashed the first move of the Xiangyang Divine Palm - Sunrise in the East!

I saw the true energy surging out from his palm, emitting a dazzling light, as bright as the rising sun.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a huge palm print, carrying endless heat and vitality, and headed straight towards Murong Longcheng's attack.

At the same time, Zhang Ziyang on the side also launched an offensive.

He strode forward, stretched out his arms, and pushed out his palms at the same time.

Suddenly, a ball of purple mist-like true energy rose from his palm and quickly condensed into a huge palm print.

This was the Purple Sun Divine Palm's "Purple Air Coming from the East" style! With the blessing of the Purple Sun's artistic conception, the palm print appeared extremely condensed, with purple air swirling around it, giving people a sense of righteousness and dignity.

In the blink of an eye, the three people's moves collided with Murong Longcheng's three palm powers almost at the same time.

There was a loud earth-shaking noise, and the entire city was shaking.

The huge impact force caused the surrounding air to become distorted instantly, as if it was about to be torn apart.

Li Canghai's skills are pure, and he was once a late-stage grandmaster. The storm of his palm power defeated Murong Longcheng's attack, but that was all.

On the other side, Xiang Kui and Zhang Ziyang's situation was not much better. They were not as strong in skills, nor were their minds as strong as his. Their own moves were not as good as his, so they were unable to defeat Murong Longcheng's palm power.

Although the two dodged in time, they were still affected and had to take several steps back before they could barely stand firm, looking very embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you two to have new moves. One has the Sunrise in the East, and the other has the Purple Air from the East. You've been spending a lot of time together researching these days, haven't you?"

When the Niwan Palace of a grandmaster warrior opens, his comprehension will increase. As long as he accumulates enough, it will be easy to create some martial arts.

It’s just that before, the grandmasters might not fight for decades, so no one paid much attention to martial arts moves.

After several fights, not only his martial arts skills have been improved, but also Zhang Ziyang and Xiang Kui's.

After Murong Longcheng finished speaking, he continued with disdain: "It's a pity that the moves are easy to practice, but the skills and spiritual awareness are difficult to cultivate.

Moreover, through these battles, I have perfected my martial arts and created a martial art that combines both offense and defense, so you are doomed to fail."

After saying this, Murong Longcheng didn't give his opponent time to speak or refute, he rushed forward and chose close combat.

The power of vows and the state of compassion suddenly increased greatly. Zhang Ziyang and Xiang Kui's desire to resist was slightly reduced, and their momentum immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Li Canghai's artistic conception and spiritual awareness are not weak, but his power is a little weak, while Murong Longcheng has the power of vows to bless him.

Murong Longcheng was not at a disadvantage in a one-on-three situation. Some of the opponent's attacks were directly dispersed by him, and some were directly bounced back by him using the fifth of the Seven Styles of Brahma - Golden Body Reflection, which also increased their power.

The imperial guards on the city wall and Murong Longcheng's men outside the city were shocked. Is this still a human being?

Chapter 347 National Destiny

After fighting for half an hour, Li Canghai and the other two were finally defeated. Xiang Kui had his arm blown off, and Zhang Ziyang's dantian was pierced by Murong Longcheng's fourth of the seven Brahma styles, the formless sword finger.

The two men fled in a panic due to Li Canghai's obstruction and restraint. Li Canghai was also injured by Murong Longcheng, but fortunately he was able to ride the wind and escaped from Bianliang City with his incredible speed.

Murong Longcheng decided the outcome of the battle with one blow, and then he blew up the city gate with a palm, and tens of thousands of his men rushed directly into the city.

What he did was fly to the top of the city wall and directly converted the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, Fan Yuan. After converting some high-ranking officials, the ordinary soldiers under him no longer had the courage to resist, and the imperial guards immediately became his own troops.

Murong Longcheng then broke into the palace directly, and then the sound of Sanskrit like the sound of nature was heard from the palace.

With the blessing of skill, artistic conception and willpower, the sixth of the seven Brahma forms, Brahma Sound to Save the World, was performed half an hour later. All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the emperor and the empress dowager, were converted.

At noon, Murong Longcheng was officially crowned emperor in the presence of all officials and the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and changed the name of the Song Dynasty to Dayan.

Half a month later, troops from all over the country gathered and came to Beijing to defend the king. Unfortunately, it was His Majesty and the Queen Mother who stood on the city wall to persuade them to surrender. We were ready to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first?

Before they could make a decision, Murong Longcheng appeared, the sound of Sanskrit was heard, and everyone who came was converted one by one.

From local officials to civil and military officials in the court, and even the Zhao royal family, everyone became a puppet, and he succeeded.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar. His Majesty had surrendered, and all the members of the Zhao royal family of the Song Dynasty had surrendered. What should they do?

After converting these people, Murong Longcheng went to various border posts and converted the garrison commanders one by one. In this way, Murong Longcheng successfully recovered Dayan without losing a single soldier or killing a single person.

Murong Longcheng succeeded in restoring his country, and the monarchs of Liao, Western Xia and Dali were at a loss for a while.

Especially the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia, they were ready to take advantage of the chaos to attack, but the chaos ended before the army was fully assembled.

As for the Great Song…oh, now it’s the Great Yan. Officials from all over the Great Yan did not cause unrest. Instead, they performed their duties conscientiously, maintaining order in all places, and worked even harder than usual.

Most of the warriors in the martial arts world were converted, and the martial artists who usually committed crimes also stopped their activities.

There were occasional unrests, but they were suppressed before they could develop, leaving the people in various places confused and at a loss as to what to do about the sudden change of dynasties.

After hesitating for a while, Xixia and Liao still did not dare to take action. It was because Murong Longcheng was too powerful. He alone defeated so many great masters of the Song Dynasty, and the artistic conception he comprehended could also save others.

If Murong Longcheng is angered, he will simply ignore the agreement and no one can stop him.

…………

When Murong Longcheng officially ascended the throne and changed the name of the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Yan Dynasty, there was a sudden movement in the tomb of Taizu in Gongyi.

"Puff..." A majestic and resolute man wearing a dragon robe spat out a mouthful of blood. The aura around him was turbulent. "Is the country's destiny backlashing?"

"Strange, our national fortune has remained relatively stable for so many years, but why is it like this now? Could it be that our Song Dynasty has fallen?

It shouldn't be like this. My Great Song Dynasty has only been established for over 120 years. It shouldn't be so short."

This person was none other than the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. After he established the Song Dynasty, he was forced by the grandmasters of various countries to not allow the grandmasters to participate in the national war.

He had no choice but to compromise. His brother was ambitious and coveted the throne. He knew that military force was not enough to suppress the world, and he was too busy with state affairs to have time to practice martial arts.

So he faked his death and escaped, hiding in the dragon vein of the Song Dynasty, where he devoted himself to studying martial arts.

Decades later, he created the [Emperor's Secret] which relied on the emperor's dragon energy, national destiny and dragon veins for cultivation, and successfully broke through to the realm of heaven and man.

Just when he was about to go out and show his strength to unify the world, he found that he could not maintain his realm without the dragon vein.

Moreover, his own dragon energy began to dissipate and was absorbed by the then emperor Zhao Zhen, causing his realm to decline rapidly.

Helplessly, he had to take the imperial seal with him and return to the dragon vein to practice in order to break through the so-called golden elixir realm.

Not only was his cultivation speed slow, he also found that the more national fortune he absorbed, the greater the pressure on him.

Gradually, he was suffocated by the dragon veins of the Song Dynasty, his movements were restricted, and he could not leave the dragon veins.

He pondered for a long time before he realized that this was because he had absorbed too much of the country's fortune, and he was not on the throne, so he lacked dragon energy, which led to the backlash of the Song Dynasty's national fortune and the restraint of the dragon veins.

After that, he only absorbed the luck gathered by the imperial seal for cultivation, and no longer used the dragon veins for cultivation, but he still could not leave.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the slowly weakening dragon vein, and then looked at the imperial seal in his hand that had been passed down from the Qin Dynasty.

"When a nation's fortune is strong, its dragon veins are strong, but now the dragon veins are beginning to weaken. Is my Great Song Dynasty really doomed?" Zhao Kuangyin murmured, and then said, "But it doesn't matter. The fall of the Great Song Dynasty has just freed me from the shackles.

As long as I can leave this place, I can conquer this world once, and I can conquer it a second time."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the imperial seal in his hand, from which wisps of golden aura were still coming continuously from Bianliang.

This is the imperial seal left by the Qin Emperor. It is the most recognized symbol of imperial power in the world. Therefore, despite the change of dynasties, some of the luck still gathers here.

He just used the luck in it to recover from the backlash just now. When the dragon vein of the Song Dynasty was completely transformed into an ordinary earth vein, it would be time for him to leave here.

…………

Dali, Eternal Spring Valley.

Li Canghai returned to the valley with a pale face. Xiaoyaozi was surprised, "Canghai, are you injured? Who hurt you? Duan Siping?"

Is there anyone in this world who can harm his disciple?

Li Canghai said helplessly: "Master, it's Murong Longcheng. He has broken through to the late stage of Grandmaster and is about to break through to the Celestial Being stage."

The prerequisite for breaking through to the level of a celestial being is to comprehend the artistic conception, but none of them have comprehended the artistic conception. The reason they cannot break through now is simply that they have not accumulated enough true essence.

Xiaoyaozi was stunned. Decades ago, Murong Longcheng and Canghai were tied, so how come he was overtaken now?

Xiaoyaozi asked hurriedly, "How did he break through to the late Grandmaster stage? It's impossible for someone outside to break through to the Heavenly Man stage. Could it be that he also comprehended the Devouring State?"

Changchun Valley can break through to the late stage of Grandmaster. If he comprehends the artistic conception of Beiming Swallowing like him, he can even break through to the Heavenly Man.

Li Canghai sat down and didn't bother to be polite with his master. He directly picked up the teapot in front of his master, poured a cup of tea and drank it before saying:

"Master, Murong Longcheng uses the willpower of all living beings to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and at the same time, he also uses the willpower of all living beings to forcibly control the leakage of energy from his body.

Now he has reached the peak of the late Grandmaster realm, and he has also comprehended the artistic conception. The next step is to combine the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, and use the comprehended artistic conception to refine it into golden liquid.

Now that he has successfully restored his country, if he converts a few more people, his breakthrough to the celestial realm will be just around the corner."

Xiaoyaozi was stunned when he heard this. He thought that the power of Buddhist vows could be used in this way. But then he shook his head. The power of vows of sentient beings was too complicated and it was easy to go astray.

But then he thought, even if that was the case, it was still a way out. He was already 197 years old, three years older than Duan Siping. If he lingered on here, he would only live a few decades longer.
