Great Xuanwu Sheng

The first master of Hanbei.

In other words, the number one grandmaster in the world is not aware of the shock he has caused in the world of Daxuan at this time, or he has already anticipated it, and now he does not care so much, and takes it calmly without being surprised by any changes.

At this moment, Chen Mu is standing in a quiet valley. This is the forbidden area of ​​Qixuan Sect. Even the elders are not allowed to enter easily. Only the sect's supreme leader and the leader himself can pass through unimpeded. .

In the past, only three people, Yin Heng, Qin Mengjun and Qi Zhiyuan, could enter and exit this place freely.

Now there is one more person, and that is Chen Mu.

The terrain of this quiet valley is sunken, but there is an extremely heavy dragon pillar standing in the center. This is the center of the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation, also known as the Qiankun Dragon Locking Pillar. The whole body is made of secret gold and earth vein stone. , there are also top spiritual objects such as black yellow stone inside. It can be said that the whole is a top spiritual weapon treasure.

It is this kind of spiritual weapon treasure that can be used as the core to suppress the power of the earth veins below the Qixuan Mountains, and can be used as a guide to mobilize the power of the earth veins. Otherwise, with human power alone, you will be a master of the unity of heaven and man. The mind can communicate with the heaven and earth for thousands of miles, but that is only the range that the perception can expand. The actual power of the heaven and earth that can be controlled is far from that vast. It can only be a few miles or even ten miles at most. Otherwise, it is simply like the legendary gods and Buddhas. No different.

certainly.

Although the power of the earth veins that this Qiankun Locking Dragon Pillar can control covers a range of hundreds of miles, it is actually very sluggish. Even if Yin Heng personally sits in the center of the formation, it is difficult to exert only 20% of the power it can exert.

Although this power can compete with martial arts experts who are one with nature and man, it is difficult to suppress them.

Actually.

Having this kind of top-notch earth line formation is basically equivalent to having an immovable master of the 'Unity of Heaven and Man' realm. This is also the confidence of a top sect like Qixuan Sect to dominate a state.

For example, if Bing Jue Palace hadn't happened to catch up with the changes in the world and the opening of the earth's abyss, which caused the earth's veins to collapse, then even the four foreign clans, the Tianyao Sect, and the Tianzhi Sect would not have been able to break through their mountain gate and force them to move far away.

To break through such an earth line formation, even if one or two existences of the unity of heaven and man take action, it will be almost impossible to destroy it within a year and a half, unless there are three or four... But the masters of the unity of nature and man Chinese cabbage is not everywhere. Looking at the entire Hanbei, there are only two of them.

Even in the entire Daxuan world, there are only about twenty people combined.

"This void jade crystal is indeed mysterious and extraordinary."

Yin Heng stood next to the Qiankun Locking Dragon Pillar, staring at a crystal clear jade crystal floating in the void. His whole body seemed to be immersed in it. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.

Next to the Void Jade Crystal, there are Chen Mu and Qin Mengjun, the three top masters of Qixuan Sect, who are all gathered here at this time, and they are studying the mystery of the Void Jade Crystal together.

"There are basically not many wonderful objects in this world that can touch the mystery of the void."

Chen Mu was also staring at the void jade crystal at this time.

After he escorted Xu Hongyu and others to settle in Lingxuan Peak, he began to sort out the harvest from the trip to the Abyss. He knew something about some of the most precious rare objects, the Sky Mending Stone and the Hunyuan Qi, but only the Void Jade Akira didn't know it at all.

So after thinking about it, he came to the sect's forbidden area to visit Yin Heng and asked about the mystery of the void jade crystal.

Yin Heng has also never seen the Void Jade Crystal with his own eyes, but with a hundred years of experience, he has some understanding of the Void Jade Crystal. He knows that it is one of the very few rare objects that contains the mysteries of the void, and it can even refine space-based spiritual weapons. One of the core.

Chen Mu was also surprised when he heard that Void Jade Crystal could refine space-based spiritual weapons. He immediately asked Yin Heng how to refine it. Yin Heng happened to know the refining method, but it only required a few key conditions.

First, there must be at least two people in the blood exchange realm.

The Qixuan Sect is just satisfied with this point. Both Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun are in the blood exchange realm.

Secondly, there must be at least one Qiankun Grandmaster.

In fact, this is much more difficult, because in today's world, there are only ten Qiankun Grandmasters born in the past thousand years, but Chen Mu happens to be the tenth person, so this most difficult condition to meet is not a problem.

Third, there must be a strong enough ground formation.

The Qixuan Sect's mountain gate formation, the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation, is one of the top earth line formations and can just meet this demand.

Fourthly, it is not possible to directly refine a space-based spiritual weapon using void jade crystals alone. It also requires a rare object that can hold void jade crystals. Although there are several kinds, they are all extremely rare.

However, Chen Mu happened to have one of them in his hand, and that was the Sky Mending Stone.

The strange objects born between the birth and death of the cave are one of the very few that can carry the power of the void. They also happen to be another main material suitable for the void jade crystal. When the stone veins and the cave sky collapse, they can be combined with the void jade The birth of Jingyi was also a coincidence.

The four most critical conditions were all met!

You must know that space spiritual weapons are so rare in this world precisely because it is extremely difficult to meet these four conditions at the same time. However, today's Qixuan Sect has all of them, as if by fate.

"Mengjun, how do you feel?"

Yin Heng turned to look at Qin Mengjun who was not far away.

Qin Mengjun was also looking at the jade crystal in the sky at this time, feeling the mystery in it. After hearing Yin Heng's words, he came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts and shook his head slightly, saying: "Looking at flowers in the mist, it is difficult to tell the truth."

Although she is now a person in the blood-transformation realm, and her body-tempering martial arts has almost reached its end. Even with all her strength, she can shake the void itself and create cracks in the void, but she is unable to comprehend the mysteries of the void and has no way of understanding it.

"..."

Chen Mu is also observing the Void Jade Crystal.

In fact, since he got it, he has been studying the Void Jade Crystal from time to time along the way. The wonderful thing about this thing is that it seems to be an extremely contradictory structure, like a product that should not exist in the world.

That piece of crystal clear crystal seems to contain countless edges and structures. Its essence is like a piece of compressed void. It does not belong to any kind of substance in the world. Even if Chen Mu has practiced the Eight Phases of the Universe, he has mastered the Eight Phases of the Universe. From a Taoist perspective, it is impossible to completely penetrate and control it.

"If the Tao of the Void were so easy to comprehend, it would have already become one of the martial arts recorded in the classics."

Listening to Qin Mengjun's response, Yin Heng couldn't help but sigh: "When a warrior reaches the unity of heaven and man, he reaches the pinnacle of the world and reaches the end of martial arts in this world."

"But is there really an end to martial arts?"

"Ten thousand years ago, the Marrow Cleansing Realm was the end, but someone opened up the Blood Exchange Realm again, and then the first heavenly being was born."

"Further forward, the Six Fu realm is the end, and there are very few people who can understand the realm."

"In today's martial arts, the third step of the artistic conception is the ultimate, and the body tempering and blood exchange are the ultimate. All warriors who have reached the end do not want to open up a new path forward and reach the ninth realm of the body tempering martial arts, or the artistic conception. the fourth step."

Yin Heng narrated slowly.

At this time, Chen Mu and Qin Mengjun also converged their gazes and looked at Yin Heng.

Although Qin Mengjun has already reached the blood exchange level, and Chen Mu also has the power to compete with the blood exchange realm, they both reached this level much later than Yin Heng. When it comes to their experiences after the blood exchange, they are naturally far less knowledgeable than Yin Heng. .

"Is there really a ninth realm in the body tempering method?"

Chen Mu asked this question thoughtfully.

Yin Heng shook his head first, then nodded.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Mu quietly waited for the next step, while Qin Mengjun did not interrupt and listened on the sidelines.

"Not now, but maybe in the future."

Yin Heng said slowly: "Mengjun, you have entered the blood exchange. You should be aware that in the blood exchange, unlike the time of marrow cleansing, there are sayings about the initial, minor and even complete martial arts. Once you enter the blood exchange, it only takes two days." In three years, all the essence and blood can be transformed into 'Martial Blood', which contains the power of heaven and earth and flows throughout the body, making the martial body completely perfect and flawless."

"But this kind of perfection does not mean that further tempering is impossible. Some people believe that the practice of body tempering martial arts is to continuously temper the flesh and blood body to the same path as the essence of heaven and earth, from grinding the skin and training the flesh to washing the marrow and exchanging blood. , Step by step, we are getting closer and closer to the heaven and earth itself, and if we go further, we may completely change the nature of flesh and blood."

"It's just that although the road is here, no one knows how to enter it. In today's world, the person who travels the farthest on this road should be Zhending, the abbot of the Great Zen Temple. He is known as the golden body of the ancient Buddha, and his strength is in the Great Prose He can be ranked among the top five in the world, but as far as I know, even if he is, his essence is still flesh and blood, and he cannot get rid of this shackles. "

Listening to Yin Heng's narration, Qin Mengjun looked thoughtful.

Martial arts has always been advancing. The eight realms of body tempering are never born at once, but are derived step by step. However, the 'blood exchange realm' is still different after all. At this point, the entire body is almost completely broken. After tempering everything and reaching the flawless state, no one knows whether it will be possible to step out of the ninth realm.

Some people firmly believe that there will definitely be a ninth realm of body tempering, but there are also people like Yin Heng who are not convinced.

the other side.

After hearing Yin Heng's words, Chen Mu's eyes were slightly startled.

When it came to changing the essence of flesh and blood, he thought of himself. The internal organs that he had tempered to the extreme now seemed to exist in a way that was separated from flesh and blood and close to the essence of heaven and earth.

For ordinary people, a broken heart is basically a fatal injury, even for a marrow-washing master or a blood-changing Martial Saint. But for him, even if the heart is broken, it can still heal itself, and the speed of self-healing will continue. Extremely fast.

This is not a fantasy.

He once tried using a less important intestine, leaving a slight scar on it with the Inner Energy Gang, but the scar did not bleed, and would heal in a moment, and its essence was already the same as that of flesh and blood. the difference.

But the problem is that now he is only in the realm of marrow cleansing and has not yet entered the blood exchange. The transformation he has undergone is just to temper the internal organs to the limit. If, as Yin Heng said, the ninth realm of body tempering martial arts Even if he is completely separated from the flesh and blood, wouldn't he be considered half of the 'Ninth Realm' now?

This doesn't seem very reasonable.

However, after thinking about it for a short time, Chen Mu did not say it out loud. It was not that he deliberately hid it, but that he actually knew only a little about it now, and the description was meaningless.

He didn't know if there would be a ninth realm of body tempering martial arts in this world, but at least with his talent and qualifications, he would be able to practice both the marrow washing realm and the blood exchange realm to the limit in the future, reaching the true perfection.

If there is a ninth realm, then he should be able to get a glimpse of that level by then.

"Although it's a bit imaginary, it does make sense."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Mengjun responded slowly. In a year or two, her martial blood will flow all over her body, and her body will be further refined to perfection, and her path will be the same. When she reaches the end, in addition to comprehending the third step of artistic conception, she will probably also explore the possibility of further advancement in body tempering martial arts.

Although the idea of ​​breaking away from the mortal body of flesh and blood and comparing the world with the body sounds very vague, according to the path of tempering the body, it is also a reasonable inference. However, no one has been able to achieve it so far, so it is not certain whether it is correct.

"Senior Yin just mentioned the fourth step of artistic conception?"

After Chen Mu thought about it, he asked Yin Heng again.

What he understands is that the end of the martial arts is the third step of artistic conception, but those who can reach the third step and achieve the unity of heaven and man are all peerless youth, peerless talent, and even possess great wisdom. They have arrived At the end, I will naturally explore the path of the world to see if there is any further possibility, and explore the fourth step of the illusory artistic conception.

It's just that these situations are things that are not even recorded in ancient history books. Basically, only the top beings in the world may know each other and discuss each other. No one knows how far they have explored. .

"Um."

Yin Heng glanced at Chen Mu and said, "Your practice of the Way of Heaven and Earth covers everything in the world. But today, you should also be able to feel that the universe is not everything, it is just everything in this world."

"For example, the essence of void outside of heaven and earth is not within the scope of the universe... Therefore, some people speculate that if you can clearly understand the way of void and control the power of void, you have taken the fourth step of the artistic conception."

Chen Mu didn't show much surprise when he heard Yin Heng's words.

Because even he himself has had such speculation, not to mention other beings who have gone further in martial arts.

only.

The way of the void is elusive to him now. Even if he can create a rift in the void, he knows it but doesn't know why. It's like he lacks a primer and can't understand how to go from within the universe to outside the universe.

"Actually, there are more ideas about the fourth step of artistic conception. For example, some people believe that time is also a kind of Tao. Heaven and earth come from Hunyuan, differentiate yin and yang, and reach heaven and earth. This process is time. If you can understand and control time, The power will also transcend the third step of artistic conception and enter a higher level.”

Yin Heng looked at Chen Mu and Qin Mengjun and suddenly said with a smile.

Although there is still a slight gap between Chen Mu and Qin Mengjun today, they are actually at the same level. He doesn't have much to teach them. Now that he can talk about what he knows, as a senior, he feels good.

"years?"

Qin Mengjun was slightly surprised, and then looked thoughtful.

Time has no trace, but it does exist, symbolizing the change of heaven and earth. If you can understand this 'change' itself, it is indeed possible to have a deeper understanding of heaven and earth, and thus transcend the third step of artistic conception.

But now, she is still far away from mastering the third step of artistic conception and stepping into the unity of heaven and man. To think about the more illusory possibilities of the fourth step such as "years" and "void" is a bit too ambitious. .

After listening to Yin Heng's words, Chen Mu felt a little thoughtful.

In fact, when it comes to his understanding of Daxuan Tianxia, ​​he may not know as much as Yin Heng's century-old Zongheng, but when it comes to his understanding of the world, his vision is much broader.

The four directions above and below are the universe.

The past, present and future are the universe.

When everything in this area of ​​heaven and earth, including wind, thunder, water, fire and other eight phases, are all clearly understood and understood, then the only things that touch the outside are the "Yu" and "Zhou". This is actually what Yin Heng calls "void" and 'years'.

At least in Chen Mu's view, both paths may be right, but the martial arts in this world have not yet developed to that level. No one has reached that height yet. They are still in the stage of exploration and experimentation.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Sooner or later, you will come into contact and know about it. There is no point in thinking about it in advance right now. It is better to continue to study this void jade crystal and see how to refine it."

Yin Heng saw that Chen Mu and Qin Mengjun were both deep in thought, and after a while he interrupted with a smile.

Void, years,

These are things that are so easy to comprehend. Just the third step of artistic conception, the step of the unity of heaven and man, requires hundreds of millions of people in the world to give birth to just twenty or so people.

Human life is limited. Even in the blood-transformation realm, one can only live for two hundred years. Even if one is proficient in breathing and maintaining health, it is difficult to live beyond three hundred years. In his opinion, unless he can first break the limitation of life span and get a longer time, he can It is possible to understand the artistic conception to a higher level, otherwise it is just a castle in the air with no dependence.

He is more in favor of the concept of the ninth realm of body tempering.

As for emptiness and years, even if it is the correct path of cultivation, I am afraid that he will not be able to see it in this life.

"Um."

Qin Mengjun had come to his senses at this time. After nodding slightly, he continued to study the Void Jade Crystal.

Yin Heng roughly knows the method of refining space spiritual weapons, and now all the conditions are met. However, he has no experience in this kind of thing, so naturally he cannot do it easily. The three of them need to further discuss to confirm that there is no Make mistakes before you try.

Chen Mu was also quite cautious about this. After all, if he had a space-type spiritual weapon with him, it would be much more convenient for him to do things. It was a rare chance to have such an opportunity, so naturally he tried his best to consider every detail to ensure that there were no mistakes.
