Wu Qiankun let out a long breath, his eyes shining with a bright light.
"Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill" was derived from "Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue", both of which can be regarded as unprecedented skills.
But in the final analysis, these two martial arts, like the Qi-absorbing technique from a thousand years ago, can be considered quick-learning magic skills.
Since it is a quick-acquired magic skill, it naturally has side effects.
Taotie Swallowing Heaven Technique and Martial God's Holy Rhinoceros Technique are both mystical methods of refining the soul. They not only plunder the qi, blood and internal strength, but also devour, or refine the enemy's mind and will.
A warrior who can achieve the state of spiritual cultivation will never be weak in his will, which can be described as a will as strong as iron.
Sometimes, Wu Qiankun can defeat a martial artist who has cultivated spirits, but he may not be able to defeat his spiritual will.
Those warriors who were defeated by him were simply inferior in skills, which did not necessarily mean that they were mentally shaken and inferior to Wu Qiankun in mental and willpower.
Therefore, refining the spirit with the Martial Arts Holy Spirit Rhino Technique is equivalent to the collision of the wills of two warriors with iron wills.
Iron sharpens iron, grinding away the weakness and cowardice in one’s heart, sharpening each other’s mind, and sharpening a steel blade!
This is the secret of Wu Sheng's Holy Rhino Technique, and also the essence that makes it superior to the energy-absorbing technique of thousands of years ago.
The Martial Saint used this method to achieve superb levels of spirit cultivation, and his achievements in the art of spirit cultivation were unprecedented.
Although Wu Qiankun is not as good, he is also number one on the Tingchao Tower God List, far better than other warriors outside of the Wu Ji Hui.
But when Wu Qiankun finished dealing with the corpse, he looked in the direction of Qiao Mu and Wayne and said coldly:
"Have you seen enough?"
It has been discovered a long time ago... Qiao Mu's heart was slightly moved, but he remained calm and replied:
"Not enough, how about you give me a few more moves?"
He now sees it.
The ability to transform flesh and blood into various forms was originally created by the Martial Saint, and was then perfected by Wu Qizheng.
But now, the blood and flesh on the Wu Jihui's side has almost become two different things from the blood and flesh that Wu Qizhen handed over to him.
"Wayne... and Qiao Shuangzhao, right?"
Wu Qiankun narrowed his eyes.
These foundation-building monks did not notice Qiao Mu who was secretly performing the sword technique at the door of the inn just now, but he noticed the illusory sword light that seemed real and unreal, which was exactly the same as what he saw in the city of Daqin Prefecture that day.
The Qiao family... are not easy to kill.
Wu Qiankun frowned secretly.
"Since you haven't seen enough, why not come and experience it yourself?" Wu Qiankun said calmly:
"Don't worry, time is running out, I won't take your life."
The Qiao family is the target of the Martial Saint. Wu Qiankun almost made the Martial Saint angry with his actions last time. This time, he accidentally discovered the traces of the Qiao family, so it is naturally not appropriate for him to interfere.
Although he had no intention to kill, he was indeed quite interested in the Qiao family who had both super strength and super power.
After all, he was just a spectator in Daqin City last time. If he could do it himself, he thought he could find out the details of the Qiao family, who were both super strong and powerful.
As for the fact that time is running out, he is not wrong.
The cultivators of the immortal sect all left their natal jade slips in the sect.
Therefore, as long as the deacon in charge of the guard does not slack off, if any cultivator dies suddenly, other cultivators from the immortal sect will arrive soon.
Although it is not as fast as the Qiao family's once-in-a-lifetime teleportation, this place is in Anxi Town, not too far from the Da Dao Sect. The immortal sect cultivators are already clearing out the Wu Ji Society, so I think their actions will not be slow.
If Wu Qiankun continues to stay here, things will gradually get out of hand.
It is not just the Martial Saint who hunts down immortal cultivators.
Most of the high-ranking members of the Wu Ji Society have also practiced the "Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue" and later switched to the "Taotie Tuntian Gong".
If the "Martial Spirit Xi Jue" over the past forty years was a death match among three thousand disciples, in the bloody internal competition, seventy-two sages were born, each with their own unique skills.
But that's not enough.
The Martial Saint knew very well that even if he killed all the seventy-two sages, he would not be able to kill all the strange people in the world.
Therefore, the "Taotie Swallowing Heaven Art" written forty years later was a hunting feast for the Martial Saint and his seventy-two sages.
As for whether the immortal cultivators are prey or hunters, it depends on the level of their methods.
"The war between the Wuji Society warriors and the aliens has begun. Our biggest enemy is the aliens, and the Qiao family is just nourishment."
"Let's test the Qiao family's strength today."
As Wu Qiankun took a step, his flesh and blood began to wriggle and change, and his body began to expand at an alarming speed.
..
Dongzhou.
Among the mountains, a pavilion stands tall among the clouds and mist.
Elder Qingzhuo sat cross-legged in the pavilion, feeling a little alert.
If your foundation is damaged, you will be weak wherever you go.
This time, he followed the order of the headmaster to go overseas to inquire about the background of the Qiao family. Passing through Dongzhou, he happened to meet an old friend.
The Immortal Changqing of the Changsheng Sect.
Changshengmen is also one of the nine immortal sects, rooted in Dongzhou.
It’s just that this sect is a bit strange and can be considered an outlier among the nine immortal sects.
This immortal sect is named "Eternal Life", so logically speaking it should be a sect that is dedicated to pursuing the path to immortality.
But in fact, many cultivators in this immortal sect, even including Elder Qingzhuo's old friend Changqing Zhenren, had been distracted by studying mortal martial arts.
This so-called Changshengmen can actually be regarded as the sect among the nine sects that has the deepest research on mundane martial arts.
This is not a good reputation.
It should be understood that the life span of immortal cultivators is long but finite. In today's world where spiritual energy is declining, immortal cultivators need incense and burning candles to assist in their practice. How can they have so much life span to waste
The way of martial arts is far inferior to the way of immortality. If you are in the Qi Refining stage and your skills are incomplete, it is not a bad idea to practice martial arts.
However, if the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages are distracted by other things, in the eyes of other immortal sects, they are simply wasting their life.
The Changsheng Sect is an outlier among the nine immortal sects.
"Fellow Daoist Qingzhuo, I heard that your Da Dao Sect has been dealing with the Wu Ji Association in the mortal world recently?" Chang Qing Zhenren said with a faint smile:
"I invited you here this time because I discovered something interesting recently."
"In fact, several months ago, the Wu Ji Association in the mortal world was actively spreading a martial arts technique that was somewhat magical."
Master Changqing smiled slightly, casually spread out his long sleeves, and a thread-bound book flew out of his sleeves.
There are five big words on the cover of the book.
Mount Sumeru King Sutra
Taoist Qingzhuo was slightly puzzled, and at the same time, he calmed down again.
Seeing that Changqing Zhenren looked serious, he flipped through the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in his hand and glanced at it:
"What happened to this martial art?"
Elder Qingzhuo was not familiar with martial arts and did not know what was so special about the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra.
This reaction made Master Changqing pause for a moment, and he immediately explained:
"Fellow Daoist Qingzhuo, you know that hundreds of years ago, there was an immortal in my Changsheng Sect who created a Changsheng Fist and taught it to ordinary mortals. From then on, the Qiao family of Heyang in Nanzhou was born."
"The immortal way emphasizes the soul, while the martial way emphasizes the body. However, no matter how strong the body is, it will eventually age. It is difficult to defy the laws of nature."
"The Changsheng Fist Classic is an attempt on our part to explore the martial arts of mortals, trying to solve the problem of the decline of qi and blood in the human body in old age, but it is not very successful."
Taoist Qingzhu nodded:
"The body is perishable, but the soul is expected to last forever, so the immortal path is the main path in this world, and the martial arts path is just a side path."
"That's right." Master Changqing also nodded:
"It's just that the decline of spiritual energy is a general trend."
"In today's era, the cultivators of our nine great sects can still maintain their cultivation in the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization stages with the help of incense from the mortal world."
"Fellow Daoists of the Yanshen Dao often say that a great catastrophe is approaching, and that you and I, as cultivators, are all struggling to cross the sea of suffering. What if the spiritual energy continues to decline?" said Immortal Changqing:
"So our Changsheng Sect seeks the way to longevity, which allows us to survive in the Dharma Ending Age even if the spiritual energy is exhausted, and we are not bound by the so-called distinction between the immortal way and the martial way."
If the Da Dao Sect excels in the method of refining Taoist weapons, then the Chang Sheng Sect studies the dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts.
However, this so-called dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts is fundamentally different from that of ordinary mortal warriors.
The immortal practitioners of Changsheng Sect studied martial arts only in order to survive in the Dharma Ending Age. Rather than being warriors, it would be more accurate to say that they are scholars who study martial arts.
When ordinary warriors practice martial arts, they aim to make their fists bigger and stronger, and pay more attention to actual combat capabilities.
The Changsheng Sect doesn't care about the killing power of martial arts at all... After all, the best martial artists are of no importance in front of the Immortal Sect.
What they studied was not martial arts, but the way of martial arts.
Elder Qingzhuo opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, then shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Changqing, please speak up if you have anything to say."
"If you are serious about discussing these matters with me, I have important matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
"Fellow Daoist, please stay." Taoist Master Changqing tried to persuade him to stay.
The immortal cultivators of the Changsheng Sect were regarded as outliers by other immortal sects, saying that they had taken a wrong path, so whenever they had the chance they would want to debate with anyone.
However, the reason why Elder Qingzhuo was arrested this time must be for a serious matter.
Chang Qing Zhenren said: "This comes from the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" of the Wu Ji Association. It is actually exploring another way of thinking about the unfading of Qi and blood. It is on the same path as our "Eternal Life Fist Sutra."
"I am a little ashamed to say this... The mortal who created this "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" has a very unique way of thinking. His attainments on the issue of the decline of Qi and blood alone may not be inferior to that of Immortal Changsheng."
“So after reading this “Sumeru Mountain King Sutra”, I had an idea in my mind: If these two techniques are practiced together, can we combine the strengths of both and solve the shortcomings of mortal martial arts?”
"Have you tried it?" Elder Qingzhuo frowned.
"I've tried it, but it doesn't work. The two are completely different." Taoist Changqing said slowly:
“But it’s not impossible.”
"If hundreds or thousands of years later, generations of warriors continue to deduce along this path, perhaps there is a little hope of deducing a solution."
Hearing this, Elder Qingzhuo's eyes gradually became sharper.
Chapter 262 Super Internal Strength (4k
Upon hearing this, Elder Qingzhuo's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Other Yuanying Zhenren would look down on warriors, but he would not.
It may be a bit embarrassing to say... because Qingzhuo may be the Nascent Soul cultivator who has suffered the most losses at the hands of mortal warriors since ancient times.
If he had not been more careful and driven his Nascent Soul Dharma Body out, he might have died outside the Great Qin City that day.
If all these things were known by other immortal cultivators, it is estimated that he, Elder Qingzhuo, would directly become the shame of the Nascent Soul stage and the laughing stock of the nine major immortal sects.
Shame is shame, but after suffering losses a few times, a man over a thousand years old will naturally learn his lesson.
“Fellow Daoist Changqing, if hundreds or thousands of years pass, will it be possible for mortals to deduce a method to practice both at the same time?” asked Elder Qingzhuo.
If that's the case, then trouble could be brewing.
Elder Qingzhuo has experienced the methods used by the Qiao family and mortal warriors such as the Exiled Sword Immortal and the Martial Saint.
This is the strength of the world's top warriors.
For the nine major immortal sects, it was enough to surprise them, but it was just a surprise.
But if hundreds or thousands of years later, with the improved versions of "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" and "Eternal Fist Sutra", ordinary warriors might have a chance to threaten the nine major immortal sects.
Chang Qing Zhenren explained: "The hundreds and thousands of years I mentioned are just figurative."
"The Xumi Mountain King Sutra is also not perfect, so the true way to practice both martial arts techniques may take more than a few thousand years... Of course, this is not the point."
"In my opinion, there is indeed a possibility of practicing both at the same time."
