Chapter 5 Xiang Wu's Heart
"I have practiced for more than forty years, and it took thirty years for me to understand the way of practicing swordsmanship." Master Huanyun sighed softly, admiring Chen Zong's talent more and more.
This is a genius, a true genius, in no way inferior to the top geniuses of the three top geniuses of the Zhenwu Alliance.
As long as he is given enough time to grow up, he will surely be famous in the East Continent.
"It's just that Donglu is still too small." Master Huanyun sighed again, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate thousands of mountains and rivers, looking in the direction of the Hundred Beast Mountains: "Only by crossing the Hundred Beast Mountains can we Enter the real big world, and there is the place where martial arts flourish."
When Chen Zong heard the words, his heart moved.
A few years ago, when I saw the handwritten letter left by Zhenren Jianglong in the stone room on the mountain wall, I said that I would cross the Hundred Beast Mountains and reach the other end of the mountain, but my cultivation at that time was even the seventh floor of the Qi and Blood Realm. It's too far away, and it's temporarily forgotten without knowing it.
Now, when I heard Master Huanyun mention it again, Chen Zong had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Yearning!
Like a seed, planted in the heart, slowly grows, and finally becomes strong.
"Palace Master, after crossing the Hundred Beast Mountains, is there really a bigger world?" Chen Zong asked.
"Actually, I'm not very sure, because I haven't been there in person." Master Huanyun said, "Do you know the truth about the alternation of the kingdom era and the Zhenwu era?"
"The demise of the kingdom era is dominated by the Black Demon Gate, the army of monsters is the vanguard, and the arrival of the era of true martial arts is the effort of many of our ancestors in the Eastern Land, but among them, one cannot do without a strong person." Gu Zi said in a calm tone, as if he was recalling the ancient strong man hundreds of years ago: "That strong man, whose strength is monstrous, is unmatched. With the power of one person, he killed thousands of monsters and turned the tide."
In just a few words, it seemed to outline the style of a strong man hundreds of years ago, which made Chen Zong fascinated.
Who is it?
It has that kind of strength.
"Do you know that the strong man killed dozens of monsters of the eighteenth level with just a single blow." The tone of Master Huanyun was not only shocking, but also had countless yearnings.
The eighth-level monster is equivalent to the seventh to ninth-level powerhouses of the True Martial Realm.
A single blow can kill dozens or hundreds of the seventh or even eighth and ninth layers of the true martial realm.
What a power this is.
"Palace Master, isn't the true martial state the end of cultivation?" Chen Zong suddenly thought of something, his face changed greatly, his tone trembled, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that he had obtained the mysterious sword tip, thus changing his fate, the mysterious sword tip I don't know where it came from, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but it definitely surpasses the level of true martial arts.
This point, I should have thought of it long ago, but I was limited by the environment and cultivation, and faced invisible pressure all the time, so I didn't take it into account.
"Indeed, there is a higher realm above the real martial realm." Huanyun's voice is full of yearning: "It is said that it is a leap of the boundary between heaven and man, but it can't be crossed, a hundred years of dead bones, cross the past, the sky is high. wide."
"But what kind of realm is that? I don't know. That senior and strong man didn't reveal the slightest."
With the narration of the real person Huanyun, Chen Zong's vision was broadened again.
Above the real martial realm, there is a higher realm, which is a realm transformed from mortals, a realm of transcendence and sanctification, a realm that countless warriors yearn for but are difficult to reach.
According to Master Huanyun, in fact, since the kingdom era, there have been continuous warriors who have reached the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the True Martial Realm.
It's just that no one has managed to break through so far, I don't know.
Because no one ever came back.
In addition, there have been many people who have failed to return to the Hundred Beast Mountains, indicating that deep in the mountains, they have found the handwriting left by their predecessors, etc.
The Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is extremely dangerous. It is said that there are monsters that surpass the real martial arts. Breaking through the Hundred Beast Mountains is tantamount to finding a dead end.
Such as Dragon Subduing.
Otherwise, now, there will be more warriors from the seventh to ninth layers of the True Martial Realm.
Master Huanyun himself has already decided that when his cultivation reaches the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, he will go to the Hundred Beast Mountains. Even if he loses his life in the Hundred Beast Mountains, he will never regret it.
For a real martial artist, what is more attractive than hitting a higher realm and exploring the mysteries of martial arts.
"I'm telling you this to tell you, don't be complacent at any time, because in the eyes of those strong people, the real martial arts is nothing at all." Huanyun real person said in a deep voice, he thinks that Chen Zong's talent is extraordinary , completely better than himself, the future is infinite, and naturally I don't want Chen Zong to ruin his future because of a trace of pride and complacency: "The other point, that strong man shot to destroy a large number of eight-level monsters, and it was a blow from the air. , killed many warriors of the Black Demon Sect, including the elders of the deputy sect masters, killed all of them, severely injured the Sect Master of the Black Demon Sect, and then left. Only when it is disintegrated can the era of true martial arts come."
When Chen Zong heard the words, he was first surprised, and then suddenly, he didn't expect that what he had learned was so one-sided, and he didn't know more details until today.
"Not many people know about these things." Master Huanyun explained: "Before that senior left, he left a picture scroll."
"This picture scroll is called Zhenwu Dao Enlightenment Map." Huanyun's voice seemed to murmur, as if in a dream, but his eyes were deep and boundless, as vast as the blue sky: "The name of the Zhenwu era is inseparable from the Zhenwu Enlightenment Map. , and even the naming of the Zhenwu Alliance."
Chen Zong couldn't help but feel yearning.
A person, a picture scroll, create an era, lead an era, what a style.
"It's just that the Zhenwu Enlightenment Map has been controlled by the Zhenwu Alliance until now."
"Palace Master, what is the use of the Zhenwu Dao Enlightenment Map?" Chen Zong was very curious.
"It is rumored that the real martial arts enlightenment map can make people comprehend the realm of martial arts." The words of the real person Huanyun immediately surprised Chen Zong: "It's just that the real martial arts enlightenment map has a limit on the number of times it can be used. One person can comprehend it once, and only nine times can be used. Nineteen times, therefore, every opportunity is extremely precious, after hundreds of years, only the internal geniuses of the Zhenwu Alliance can comprehend it, such as the three top talents."
Chen Zong was silent. Ninety-nine times, compared to the warriors in the entire Eastern Continent, there were very few. Even within the True Martial Alliance, there were thousands of warriors.
As the saying goes, good steel is used on the edge of the knife, which is exactly the truth.
"It is said that after hundreds of years, there are only ten opportunities for Zhenwu to realize the Dao map." Master Huanyun said: "This time, the Black Demon Gate has made a comeback, bringing a great threat. Upon request, open the real martial arts enlightenment map for the excellent juniors to comprehend."
Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up, no doubt, this is a perfect opportunity.
"Now, you have stepped into the first level of martial arts. If you can comprehend the true martial arts enlightenment map, you are expected to step into the second level of martial arts in a short period of time. At that time, your strength will be stronger, and the future path will be better." Real Man Huanyun said with a smile: "But there are only ten opportunities to comprehend the Taoist map of Zhenwu, but the Zhenwu Alliance occupies five places exclusively. That is to say, people outside the Zhenwu Alliance must compete for these five places."
"Palace Master, what are the requirements or restrictions for the competition for five places?" Chen Zong asked quickly.
"Of course there are limits."
"Warrior, the younger the age, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the strength, the greater the potential, and the greater the future achievements."
"This time the competition for five places will be set in three months, and the age should not exceed 24 years old. There is no limit to the cultivation base." Master Huanyun said: "Your current cultivation base is at the early stage of the fifth rank of the power level. , three months, try your best to improve, it is better to be able to reach the sixth rank of the power training realm. After all, there are many people within the age of 24 who have reached the seventh rank of the power training realm or even higher. The competition for five places is very difficult. ."
Chen Zong nodded, his heart awe-inspiring.
Twenty-four years old, this is not a big, but not a small age, a person with mediocre aptitude, twenty-four years old, may still be in the Qi and blood realm, and the aptitude is slightly better, and can reach the cultivation realm, but At most, it is in the early stage. If it can reach the middle stage, it is considered to be a good talent. If it can reach the later stage, it must be extremely talented.
As far as Chen Zong knows, like the Seven Swordsmen of the Zhenjian Academy, some of them are not over twenty-four years old, but their cultivation base has reached the late stage of training, and their strength is even greater. powerful.
This is the case in the True Sword Academy, as well as in the other three major palaces. In addition, there are many disciples in the four major palaces who have reached the sixth rank of the practice force within the age of 24.
Among the other forces, perhaps not as good as the Four Great Palaces, there are still some.
Those people will be Chen Zong's opponents.
Five places, very few.
At this moment, Chen Zong is full of motivation.
"Three months, I will at least raise the cultivation base to the sixth rank of the practice force." Chen Zong secretly said.
At present, his cultivation is at the early stage of the fifth rank of the power training realm, but his strength is enough to defeat most of the sixth rank of the power training realm, but he is still unable to fight the seventh rank of the power training realm. , presumably it will not be inferior to most of the 7th rank of the practice force.
Even so, it is still very difficult to win one of the five places.
For three months, Chen Zong could only do his best to raise his strength to the limit that he could improve.
"In the past three months, the Academy will provide you with a lot of resources you need for your cultivation, and I will also teach you everything. How far you can reach in the end depends on your own ability." Master Huanyun said to Chen Zong has high hopes.
The opportunity to comprehend the true martial arts enlightenment map is too rare, and it is only once in hundreds of years. It's like stepping up to the sky.
The Zhenjian Academy should focus on cultivating Chen Zong, and it is also because of Chen Zong's talent and potential. Once Chen Zong grows up, the Zhenjian Academy will first gain a great reputation, surpassing the other three university palaces, and even becoming the fourth university. The head of the palace, no matter how you look at it, this is a win-win outcome.
