Great Xuanwu Sheng

Zhongzhou.

In the quiet mountains, a Taoist temple is located halfway up the mountain.

This temple doesn't look very big, and it doesn't seem to have much incense, but both the palace and the door plaque are clean and dust-free, and there are three big characters on the door plaque of the main entrance.

Xuan Tian Guan.

Located in the deepest backyard of the Taoist temple, beside an ancient pine, a middle-aged Taoist man wearing a simple Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the edge of a branch extending from the ancient pine.

A wisp of breeze blew by, causing the ancient pine trees to sway slightly, and the branches and leaves swayed. The middle-aged Taoist man also swayed slightly with the ancient pine trees. His whole body was like a feather, like an invisible object.

This kind of weight-lifting and light-weighting state, like the state of blending heaven and earth, is beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists. Even some masters cannot be as natural and traceless as this, and cannot even detect a trace of Yuan Gang's ripples.

Not many people in the world know what the Taoist's name is, but if his name is revealed, it will spread all over the world. Even in remote places in Hanbei, countless people will still hear it like thunder.

Taoist Master Xuantian!

The martial arts where man and nature unite has reached the realm of martial arts, and he is one of the few people who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts in the world!

It is rumored that he was originally a child of the Daxuan royal family. Later, he heard about Taoism and entered Taoism. He gave up his identity and practiced Buddhism. He traveled around the world and finally realized the yin and yang of heaven and earth, until he became one of the most powerful martial artists in the world.

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

Just as the breeze was blowing and the Taoist figure was swaying with the ancient pines, a voice suddenly came over.

Taoist Master Xuantian slowly opened his eyes and looked outside the courtyard. He saw an old Taoist priest in shabby clothes with a grin on his face. He walked in from outside the courtyard and sat down at the stone table next to him. .

"What else did you encounter during this trip?"

Taoist Master Xuantian didn't care about the old Taoist priest's casualness. He still swayed up and down with the pine branches and asked him in a very normal tone.

The old Taoist priest chuckled, grabbed the teapot on the stone table, poured out a wisp of cold tea directly from the spout, drank a sip, and then said: "I'm afraid even senior brother will be the same if I tell you what happened this time. It’s going to be a big surprise!”

"oh?"

Taoist Master Xuantian's eyes were still dull.

His junior brother likes to travel around the world to explore destiny. In fact, there are many people who pursue this path in the world, such as the Xuanji Pavilion in Hanbei, the Tianming Tower in Zhongzhou, etc., all based on this, but his only junior brother is The difference is that you just watch without intervening, you just watch the days but don't act, and you do nothing.

The way of heaven is ruthless, and the way of heaven is inaction. After looking at the number of days, whether you are trying to reverse the destiny or trying to conform to the time of heaven, there is still a trace of "human desire". The further you go, the farther you go. Only by observing inaction can you get closer to the law of heaven. This is his Junior brother’s path.

At this level and height, there is no right or wrong path, they are all different paths.

Although his junior brother is far behind him when it comes to martial arts strength, he is not inferior to him when it comes to some concepts and insights about the world. Every time he travels around the world and talks with him about Taoism, he can also gain something from it. Some inspiration.

"The eleven states in the cold north are a land of bitter cold."

The old Taoist priest put down the teapot in his hand and sighed with a grin: "There have been few capable people in the past thousand years. Only that Heavenly Sword and the Heavenly Sword from hundreds of years ago have come a little closer to heaven and earth." The truth.”

Taoist Master Xuantian listened quietly to the old Taoist priest's narration without interrupting. At this time, he only waved his hand gently.

Quietly.

But when I saw the empty teapot that had been put down by the old Taoist priest on the stone table, a black and white light suddenly appeared, and the tea gurgled again in the pot, changing from strong to light, from cold to hot. .

If there are master-level figures here, they will definitely be shocked when they see this scene, because this is not manipulating the artistic conception of Kanshui Lihuo to brew a pot of tea again, but using the rotation of yin and yang to reverse the changes in the world that occurred in the teapot , making it return to the state of soaking a new pot of tea not knowing how long ago.

Xia Yu'e, who masters the realm of yin and yang, can also do this kind of thing, but she can't do it as lightly and lightly as Taoist Xuantian. Her understanding and understanding of the rotation of yin and yang and the changes in heaven and earth have reached an unfathomable level.

This move can be said to be truly ‘skilled and close to the Tao’!

Goo.

The teapot tilted slightly, and a wisp of tea poured out of the spout, and fell into the teacup next to it. Then, as Taoist Master Xuantian extended his hand, the teacup floated into his hand, and he picked it up and took a sip.

Even though he is an old Taoist priest who knows the abilities and realm of Taoist Master Xuantian, he could not help but feel a little startled when he witnessed this scene. He said: "Brother, the rotation of yin and yang has become more and more subtle. I can hardly see any traces. Could it be that he has touched the way of time?" "

"It's still a matter of looking at the flowers in the mist and catching the moon in the well."

Taoist Master Xuantian shook his head slightly.

All martial arts masters who have reached the realm of heaven and man have basically practiced the martial arts of the world to the extreme, reaching a point where there is no way forward. If they want to move forward, there is no direction, and they all have to try and explore on their own.

Some people are exploring the method of tempering the martial body, and some are exploring the art of internalizing the heaven and earth. However, he, Xuantian Dao Master, is trying to understand the path by using the rotation of yin and yang to peek at the passage of time. He believes that the eight phases of the universe have not changed. Including everything in heaven and earth, time is not among the eight phases of heaven and earth, but it exists between heaven and earth. Therefore, there must be the existence of the path of time.

and.

Its level must be higher than the true nature of all other heavens and earth.

He had a hunch in his mind that if he could use the rotation of yin and yang as a guide, touch the real way of time, and master that power, then maybe he could transcend the third step of artistic conception and reach a level above heaven and man!

Although he has been enlightened for decades, he is still looking at the flowers in the fog and it is difficult to make any progress. However, everyone has a different path. He only firmly believes that the path he is on is the right path. At this point, he no longer has the so-called 'confidence'. 'With this concept, the will of martial arts has long been as unshakable as a mountain, and like a clear mirror that stops water, without any confusion.

"The higher the level, the difference between one level and another is often huge... There must be countless people pursuing the way of time from ancient times to the present, but there are no classics that have been circulated so far."

The old Taoist priest sighed.

Those who have reached the end of martial arts and entered the realm of gods and humans may want to explore the ninth realm of body tempering method, or want to explore the fourth step of artistic conception, but no one has been able to achieve it so far. Some people may understand it. For half a lifetime, they seem to be very close, just like his senior brother Xuantian Dao Master, they seem to be only one step away, but this step is probably an insurmountable chasm.

Being above the heavens and humans may be like a mirage. If you take a few steps forward, you still feel that you are only one step away, infinitely close but never close. This is also the final destination of all warriors after the birth of the blood exchange realm and the heaven and human level.

and,

The old Taoist priest knows that the path attempted by Master Xuantian is probably much more difficult than those who try to explore the ninth realm of the body tempering method. After all, the artistic conception is more illusory than the martial body.

Just like if there is no clear guidance from the classics, it is almost impossible to understand the artistic conception and know how to take this step, two, and three steps by yourself. Each step of this has been experienced by countless predecessors. Exploring and deliberation, discussing and summarizing with each other, finally someone can really make the leap, and tempering the martial body is at least more substantial.

"You haven't said what you met yet."

Taoist Master Xuantian took a sip of tea, looked at the old Taoist priest, and spoke in a calm tone.

The old Taoist priest laughed 'haha', put aside the chaotic thoughts, and said: "I just said that Hanbei is barren. In the past thousand years, there have only been two remarkable people, but this time another extraordinary guy has appeared. ”

"The thirty-three-year-old Qiankun Grandmaster has already realized the realm of Qiankun when he first entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Even Yu Wenhao, the old bastard monster, was repelled by him. From what I can see, he has a strong foundation and is probably even better. Take advantage of Ji Hao!"

Speaking of which.

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes again and said, "I met him by chance before he entered the realm of the five internal organs. The number divined on him was very strange. It was the most ordinary fate, although it was different from other fates. They are similar, but fundamentally different. It is more like a predetermined destiny, but for some reason there has been a huge deviation. "

"It's a pity that boy didn't want me to divine his fate at that time, otherwise I should have been able to see it more clearly."

The way he walks, to understand the fate of heaven, is clearer than that of Xuanji Pavilion, but it also has a layer of constraints, that is, he cannot interfere with the normal operation of heaven, not even the slightest intervention, even for such trivial matters as divination. The other party must be completely voluntary, and cannot be forced by him, otherwise the divination will be totally different and completely confusing.

"oh?"

Taoist Master Xuantian slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Is there such a thing?"

The thirty-three-year-old Qiankun Grandmaster,

Can defeat Yu Wenhao,

The foundation is better than that of Ji Hao back then.

Indeed... not bad.

A slight glimmer of light flashed in Taoist Master Xuantian's eyes, but soon fell silent again, and then closed his eyes again.

Seeing the mediocre reaction of Taoist Master Xuantian, the old Taoist priest suddenly showed a bored look and said: "Brother, you are still so boring. The thirty-three-year-old Master Qiankun is unprecedented."

"oh."

Taoist Master Xuantian responded calmly: "You can tell me when he undergoes blood transfusion."

If you don't exchange blood, you will always be an ant. This sentence may not be correct when applied to Chen Mu. After all, being able to repel Yu Wenhao is considered to be somewhat capable, but for him, the only ones that can catch his eye are those Beings on the same level as heaven and humans.

even.

It has to be the group closest to the end of martial arts, those few people, and others such as Zhenbei King Yuan Hong, he doesn't care much, and he has no interest in intervening in any troubled times. All he pursues is deeper into the clouds. .

Chen Mu has just entered the marrow-cleansing realm. The journey has just begun. At least he has to wait until he enters the blood-exchanging realm. Only then can he barely come to him and discuss the ways of heaven and earth with him. Before that, he will no longer be a monster, but his talent will be unparalleled. , and nothing.

to his realm.

He no longer cares about talent or understanding, because he has already stood at the end of the martial arts. Only when he has truly reached his position can he be seen. If he has not reached this step, he has not arrived yet.

"It's so boring."

The old Taoist priest looked at Taoist Master Xuantian and couldn't help but shake his head in dismay, but soon he exclaimed and said: "But those people in the imperial court are probably going to explode. I have to go and see them." Reaction."

After all,

He didn't even say hello, he stood up and disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

Only Taoist Xuantian was left with his eyes closed. After shaking his head slightly, he still sat on the edge of the pine branches. As the ancient pine swayed slightly, the simple courtyard returned to silence again.

…

Imperial City.

A figure dressed in black quietly passed by the eaves of the house until he arrived at the imperial court.

Almost as soon as he landed on the ground, several figures appeared nearby, each with an aura like an abyss, surrounding him in the center, all staring at him.

The man in black remained silent, quietly releasing a wisp of his energy and inner energy, and then took out another command talisman.

Uh-huh.

Several nearby figures sensed the energy and saw the command talisman. They all said nothing and retreated silently. Only the man in black was left on the inside of the palace wall of the imperial court, and then walked slowly towards the magnificent place. Go to the palace.

After bypassing the magnificent and majestic palace in the middle, he came to a side hall at the back.

There were several chamberlains standing outside the side hall.

Seeing him approaching,

One of them came up to him.

The man in black saluted him, handed over the command talisman, and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Wei, urgent report from Hanbei."

"Your Majesty has already rested. You can tell the Zao family. When Your Majesty wakes up, the Zao family will forward it to you."

Wei He was dressed in a bright red chamberlain robe, with a kind face and gentle steps. However, looking closely, he gave people an inexplicable feeling of palpitations. At this time, he whispered to the man in black. Open your mouth.

Wei He.

The palm seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the leader of the palace guard pavilion.

In terms of official position, it was actually only third grade, but its status could not be measured by official position. After Emperor Xuan went crazy and sober sometimes, it was almost the only channel for Emperor Xuan to connect with the outside world.

The last time Emperor Xuan appeared in the outside world was more than ten years ago. In the past ten years, not even the eight kings of Jin, Yan, Chu, etc., as well as the concubines and empresses of the palace, could see Emperor Xuan. The only one you have is Wei He.

The man in black didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and immediately opened his mouth slightly, and his voice condensed into a strand of thread, ringing in Wei He's ears.

"..."

After listening to the report of the man in black, Wei He's eyes gradually narrowed, and a terrifying aura rose up from his body, making the man in black feel his breathing stagnant, and his back was soaked with cold sweat in an instant. .

But this breath came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant.

Wei He regained his kind demeanor and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, the Ze family knows and will submit it to His Majesty later. You can retreat and continue to stare at Han Bei. What's the matter? Report to your family at any time.”

"yes."

The man in black managed to calm down his breathing, bowed his head in response, bowed respectfully, and turned around to retreat.

Wei He watched the man in black leave, then walked slowly to the side hall, gently opened the door of the side hall, walked into the side hall, and closed the door again without making any sound during the whole process.

He just walked quietly along the sapphire floor tiles until he came to the quiet room on one side. In the quiet room, a figure wearing a yellow imperial robe was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and his half-black and half-white hair was scattered. Behind him, the breath was extremely weak.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Hanbei."

Wei He spoke softly.

The sound echoed in the quiet room.

However, the figure in the emperor's robe did not react at all and was still sitting there quietly.

"..."

When Wei He saw this, he shook his head slightly.

He waited for a while, but after receiving no response, he slowly turned around and walked out of the hall, a chill flashing in his eyes.

…

After a while.

Several figures emerged from the imperial court and headed in various directions.

Some went to Prince Jin's Mansion, some to Prince Yan's Mansion, and some to the backyard of the Imperial Court. No one knew what they were going to do. They only knew that after they left various important places, the Eight Princes' Mansion and other important places They all fell into silence briefly.

finally.

Just one day later, a news gradually spread throughout the imperial city and swept through Zhongzhou.

In the 11th Hanbei Prefecture, Yuzhou Qixuan Sect, Chen Mu, the leader of Lingxuan Peak, was only thirty-three years old. He broke through the Xuan Pass with the Way of Heaven and Earth, entered the Cleansing Marrow, killed Wu Guhou, defeated Jiang Changsheng, and defeated the Heavenly Demon Yu Wenhao. ...Load into the genealogy of the world’s masters!

Thirty-seven years later, Daxuan was ranked first in the world's master tree, and the position changed hands, with Jin Wang Ji Xuanchu falling into second place.

And Chen Mu, who is new to the family tree.

Ranked first!
