In fact, Genkan Yae is not the biggest gain this time.

The biggest gain was that during the dual cultivation, Yue Hongling's spirit was fully shared with him, and Zhao Changhe, who had always lacked the secret-level skills, finally knew what the first level of secret treasure was. The meditation just now was to comprehend this.

In fact, for a time traveler who has read too many novels and animations, this matter is easy to understand.

The so-called multiple entrances are the ancient process of opening up the Ren and Du meridians, just another way of saying it. In other words, it is more simplified and straightforward.

Zhao Changhe's practice process feels very intuitive, starting from the first level of perineum opening, and then breaking through all the way up to Dantian, Tanzhong, Yutang... and finally opening the Tianling acupoint, which is the Nine-Layered Mysterious Gate. One level of mysterious gate is one level of heaven, which means ascending to heaven step by step.

When the Nine-Layer Mysterious Gate is achieved, the two meridians are connected, the spring reaches the earth, and the heavenly spirit reaches the sky, forming a complete human body practice link. Regardless of internal or external skills, they all lead to the same goal, and ultimately point to this node.

But for most people, this is the end point, and the ninth level of the Xuanguan is the pinnacle of martial arts.

There are tens of thousands of warriors in the world, and there are countless high-ranking members of various sects and heads of families who have reached the ninth level of the Mysterious Gate. Everyone is unable to go further at this level, as if there is a natural chasm between them, and can only be divided by skills. There are countless "people who are close to the human list", and a very small number of outstanding ones are filled in at the end of the human list to make up the number.

Warriors call this level the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. Only by opening the first level of secret treasures can one cross this bridge and become one with heaven and earth from then on.

At that time, the nature of the true qi will undergo a qualitative change, which is usually called the transformation from acquired true qi to innate true qi. It can circulate internally and never cease to exist, which is what Hu Lie said. In the sandstorm, Yue Hongling may suffocate to death due to poor breathing, but he will not.

However, the change in the nature of the true qi could not bring about a significant leap in strength in a short period of time. Hu Lie's true qi strength was only slightly stronger than Yue Hongling's, and he was not able to crush her. However, at this point, the upper limit had been expanded, and future development was endless, and it would take time to accumulate.

This is about true Qi, and the hard conditions are there, so it cannot be learned for the time being.

But you can learn other things.

During the entire process of the breakthrough of the Xuanguan, the five senses are constantly being strengthened. Almost all the operation routes of the internal strength involve the eyes, ears, nose and tongue. Therefore, the eye orifices and ear orifices are penetrated, and the longsightedness, night vision, hearing the wind and other sensory acuity that ordinary people cannot achieve are achieved. This is one of the greatest values of practicing martial arts.

But such ability is still within the realm of mortals, while the opening of the secret treasure begins to become extraordinary.

A long time ago, when Zhao Changhe was browsing the general introduction to the Blood God Sect's martial arts, he saw the above statement: "The secrets of the human body are supernatural powers."

"When ordinary people break through the mysterious gate and open their eyes, they can only see far away and observe details. Only the secret supernatural power can see what happens after death, see thousands of miles away, see the sorrows and joys of the world, and observe the principles of heaven. Everything in the world can be seen by the eyes. This can be called the divine eye."

The principles of various schools are consistent in this regard.

When the secret treasure is opened, it is the spiritual sea of consciousness that is being used, and one no longer relies on the eyes and ears. At this time, even with eyes closed, one can "see" the surrounding situation. Whether one can see everything in a thousand miles is another matter, but at least one can "see what happens after death".

Yes, Zhao Changhe’s time travel comes with a secret treasure feature.

Moreover, this behind-the-back eye is deeper than the normal first-level secret treasure. Other people's "seeing" is actually in quotation marks, which is just to perceive all the details of the action. It is impossible to really see what the person behind you looks like. But his seeing is real seeing, he can really see the picture, which may not be an achievement that can be achieved by the first-level secret treasure.

Under the guidance of Yue Hongling's spiritual dual cultivation, Zhao Changhe began the first evolution and refinement of his eyes behind him - raising his field of vision.

So you no longer just observe what's behind you, but instead look down from the air, observing everything around you in your mind, regardless of the front, back, left, or right.

Like the moon reflected in the water.

This is also the ultimate realm that Tang Wanzhuang's mental method points to. It is originally the Earth Ranking Mental Method, the second secret level.

There is a professional term for this state: spiritual consciousness.

It's just that the level of control Zhao Changhe can now achieve is still relatively elementary... But no matter how elementary it is, it has opened up the gap between heaven and man. This is the first step in becoming a saint, and stepping over it will lead to a secret treasure.

He could clearly see the ring in his hand. Inside it was a small space of about ten feet in radius, which contained a sword, a book, and a token.

What I lack now is to find a technique that can suck the things out, so that I can really use the storage ring from now on.

This is "having already peeked into the door to the secret treasure", and has done in advance some of the things that can only be done after the secret treasure is opened. In layman's terms, it is "half a step into the secret treasure".

Others had to reach the ninth level to barely find this door, but he had already partially achieved it at the eighth level—or perhaps it could be said that he had actually already partially achieved it before he started practicing martial arts, but he was completely passive and didn’t know why. Now it was time for him to gain self-control.

The current Zhao Changhe might be a bit stronger than Yue Hongling was when he fought against Master Xue. If there is any weakness, it is probably that his fighting skills have not been refined enough.

After all, he has only been in the world for a year.

"Almost." Zhao Changhe looked inward for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, when you lived in the village, I really didn't think of anything... If I had any thoughts of peeping, I'm afraid you would have caught me long ago."

Yue Hongling also smiled: "You... that's called playing the long game to catch the big fish. Why didn't you refute the name of the chief wife that others had fanned the flames of, then you must have some evil thoughts in your mind."

"No, don't talk nonsense..."

"Anyway, I'm going out to plunder again. Do you want to be my chief?"

"Yes." Zhao Changhe hugged her again, and Yue Hongling kicked her. The two of them were laughing and playing, but their eyes fell on the altar where the ring was originally placed.

After being here for so long, the two of them certainly knew all the situations clearly. The altar was a mechanism, and when it was pushed open, there was a passage underneath, leading to the dimensional exit at the deepest part of the lake.

Without thinking, they both knew where the exit was. It was not the Yellow Sand Lake, but the Rocky Mountain.

These days, the two of them have been practicing hard, but in fact, they are a little anxious. They don't know how much time has passed, maybe a month or two has passed, and the battle outside has been over, so why are they here

Now that we have made a breakthrough, it is time to seek a way out.

So Yue Hongling put on a red dress.

"Are we leaving?" Zhao Changhe looked at the altar reluctantly and asked in a low voice.

Yue Hongling was also a little reluctant. She looked around for a long time and whispered, "Do you want to take the things with you?"

Zhao Changhe nodded, put the gem in his arms, thought for a moment, then scooped up the remaining "jelly" and threw it into the ring.

I can’t take it out now, so I’ll use it for storage first and deal with it later.

Seeing that he had packed up his things, Yue Hongling looked around their bridal chamber reluctantly, and finally turned her head and pushed open the altar: "Let's go."

… …

There was a light snowfall on the rocky mountain, which turned into rain when it reached the earth. It was icy cold when it touched the face and one could not tell whether it was rain or snow.

As expected, the two men appeared at the top of the mountain, standing in the light snow and rain, looking into the distance at the wilderness not far away where they had fought with Hu Lie.

Over there, the shouts of killing were deafening and thousands of troops were fighting.

To be precise, one side was suppressing the other, and the other side was losing ground and gradually approaching the rocky mountain.

"Batu! You are committing treason and disregarding moral principles!" A middle-aged man, who was retreating under the protection of military horses, turned back and cursed angrily.

Batu swung his sword and chopped down a blocking soldier, then charged forward on horseback: "This is fucking weird. We on the grasslands are all about ethics. Who was it me who went to Middle-earth to see the light, or you?"

Then he said "Pooh" again: "I am the heir designated by uncle! As uncle's biological brother, when you occupied your brother's wife and instigated your nephews to squeeze my position, when did you ever talk about morality! Fuck you!"

The man laughed: "I think it's you who wants your aunt!"

Batu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and rushed into the battle with his sword: "Whoever takes Heshan's head will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, 1,000 cattle and sheep, and a separate tent!"

Shouts and cries of killing rose to the sky, and blood dyed the yellow sand.

Batu had already rushed close to Heshan, but he did not realize that he had rushed too far and had already thrown away all his own guards.

He Shan's eyes, which had previously been filled with anger and a little fear, finally showed a smile: "A reckless man is a reckless man after all. You really think you are so brave and invincible that you dare to rush here... Don't you know that I can't beat your soldiers, but I can take your life?"

As he spoke, he reined in his horse, turned around, and rushed straight at Batu's chest.

As He Lei's younger brother, he was not included in the list of troubled times, but he was also a dignified ninth level of the Xuanguan realm!

Batu is only at the seventh level today!

As long as we can lure him into the battle formation and take his head, that will be our chance to turn defeat into victory!

Batu was caught off guard. He had been so lucky these days that he had lost his mind. He had never expected that this uncle who seemed to be only good at scheming and plotting had actually secretly reached the ninth level of Xuanguan.

If it were a normal battle, he wouldn't be afraid as he would be surrounded by his personal guards.

At this moment, they were chasing Heshan. Heshan's horse was a Ferghana horse and ran very fast. He was afraid that the opponent would escape, so this time he caught up with him and was several horse heads away from his personal guards.

How could he block the sudden attack from Xuanguan Jiuchong

Is it possible that just after its rise, it will die due to this negligence

At this moment, a red shadow passed by.

Heshan's counterattack was only halfway through, and the joy of success in his eyes froze on his face.

Yue Hongling mounted his Ferghana horse and said happily, "What a great horse!"

Batu looked at her stupidly, and then Zhao Changhe appeared beside him with a smile: "Brother Batu, you are lucky. My wife lost her own blue-maned horse, and she fell in love with this red horse."

Heshan's body fell to the ground at this time, splashing yellow sand with a "bang". He never thought that this would be the cause of his death.

Batu looked at Zhao Changhe deeply, knowing that the other party's death was not due to this. It was just an excuse for the defeated soldiers. He didn't know whether it would have any meaning when it reached the Khan's ears.

He didn't even bother to thank them, but pointed his sword and said, "Today is the day for the unification of the War Lion Tribe!"
