Chapter 93: Feng Qingyang's Stunning Discovery
More than 20 years ago, the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect of Mount Hua had a fierce battle, resulting in the death or injury of many top masters in the sect. This led to a decline in the entire Mount Hua Sect, which was further exacerbated by the attacks from the Songshan Sect. As a result, for a very long time, the Mount Hua Sect suffered from a lack of talented people and a dwindling population.
Fortunately, the newly appointed leader Yue Buqun was exceptionally talented in strategy and intelligence, having endured humiliation and hardship for many years. He allowed the Huashan School to gradually recover some of its vitality. By now, his eldest disciple Linghu Chong is a rare talent with unparalleled abilities, encountering one strange event after another. As soon as he emerged into the world, he swept across the land with an invincible momentum, becoming the first super master in centuries to break through to the legendary realm.
The unparalleled master of the Mount Hua Sect, Feng Qingyang, who had already set foot in the realm of legend, made a strong comeback after years of seclusion and became another pillar of the sect. Under the repeated planning of Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong, the top-notch master Liu Zhengfeng joined forces, and the peerless genius Lin Pingzhi and Zhu Cuihua were accepted as disciples, making the Mount Hua Sect rise to an unstoppable momentum.
In the following period of time, Yue Buqun was busy, Lin Pingzhi and Zhu Cuihua these two unpolished jade were waiting for him to carefully carve, Huashan School all disciples will also enter the bitter practice, the entire Jianghu is about to set off a bloody storm, everyone must maximize their strength to win in this game.
Ignoring others, Linghu Chong returned to Mount Hua the next morning after bidding farewell to Yue Buqun and went into seclusion on the Thought-Provoking Cliff to resolve the problem of the Golden Elixir in his dantian as soon as possible, lest he suffer a sudden backlash during a battle with an expert, which would be fatal.
Before going to the Overhanging Cliff, Linghu Chong first went to the back mountain to visit Feng Qingyang. Last time at Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, he heard Yue Buqun say that Feng Qingyang had made a major breakthrough in martial arts and originally planned to stay on Mount Hua but changed his mind temporarily and returned alone to the back mountain to close himself off. This time Linghu Chong was going to verify with Feng Qingyang what he had realized in his heart.
Feng Qingyang is one of the few unparalleled masters in the world of Jianghu, although he has not reached the realm of myth, his theoretical understanding and insights into martial arts are far more profound than Linghu Chong's. The two men explore and verify each other's thoughts, gaining new understandings every time they meet.
"Taishu Shu, I'm back!" Linghu Chong arrived at the cave dwelling on the rear mountain with a fat chicken and fine wine, taking a deep breath as usual, letting out a loud whoop that echoed through the land.
Feng Qingyang, who was in a deep meditative state, was suddenly startled awake by the familiar yet ominous voice that filled his heart with dark clouds. The circulating true energy took a wrong turn and nearly went astray.
Feng Qingyang hastily suppressed the surging true energy within his body, and it took a while for him to calm down and return to normal. As soon as he stabilized, he sprang up with a loud thud, his beard bristling with rage. He pushed open the door and berated Linghu Chong: "You little scamp, you came just in time! What's all this shouting about? You've disrupted my true energy and nearly caused me to go mad!"
"Haha, isn't this nothing? Disciple Sun has done this before, and the endurance of Uncle Taishi is declining more and more." Linghu Cong joked.
Feng Qingyang let out a cold hum and pretended to be unhappy, leading Linghu Chong into the cave.
Linghu Chong and Feng Qingyang sat on the ground, these two men were a Jianghu vagabond and an old rascal, both were unorthodox masters, without so many scruples, everything was very casual. As usual, the two drank wine, sang songs, chatted idly, and joked with each other.
"Master Uncle, I heard from Master and Mistress that you have made another major breakthrough in martial arts, so I came to ask for guidance this time. I see that the energy accumulation in your body has long been sufficient, why do you intentionally suppress your own realm boundary and not make a breakthrough?"
Feng Qingyang did not conceal his aura, and with Linghu Chong's current cultivation level, he naturally saw through Feng Qingyang's situation at a glance. At present, the true energy in Feng Qingyang's body has almost liquefied, infinitely close to the true yuan. Once all the true energy is completely transformed into liquid true yuan, Feng Qingyang will thoroughly break free from his own shackles and enter the realm of legendary top masters.
"For thousands of years, countless martial arts prodigies and unparalleled masters have strived to break free from their own shackles and enter the realm of legend as their lifelong goal. I am no exception."
Feng Qingyang sighed, "I've been trapped in the Absolute World's Peak realm for twenty years. Thanks to you, I finally got a chance. Originally, I planned to make a breakthrough and shatter my own shackles, advancing to the Mythical Realm in one go. But unexpectedly, I made an astonishing discovery, which forced me to suppress my cultivation at the Half-Step Mythical Realm."
"What major discovery did Master Tai have? It's so important that you've even put aside your breakthrough." Leng Foxiang asked curiously.
"Several months ago, I had already stabilized my boundary and was just waiting to accumulate enough true energy to enter the legendary realm with one effort. Later, Yue Xiazi and Ning Yatou planned to attend Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference at Hengshan School, so they asked me to come out of the mountain and preside over it. Our Huashan School's headquarters can't have any mistakes, this is our foundation."
Feng Qingyang's eyes fluttered as he recalled the scene, and he slowly said: "Just when Yue Xiazi and Ning Yaotou were about to leave and bid farewell to me, the primordial embryo in my dantian, which was already almost saturated, suddenly trembled. A large amount of heavenly and earthly primordial energy frantically poured into my body. The scene is extremely similar to your breakthrough back then."
"The old man knew that this was the moment of breakthrough, and a vast amount of heavenly energy poured into his body, compressing the true energy inside, gradually transforming it into a clear liquid-like true yuan. Just as the true energy in the dantian and meridians was fully transformed into true yuan, at the moment when the yuan fetus was about to transform, the old man discovered with horror that the heavenly energy entering his body was far from enough to break through the shackles of the flesh and enter the realm of myth."
"So you severed the connection between the liquid prenatal Qi in your dantian and the outside world, stopping the evolution of your physical body." Linghu Chong suddenly interjected.
No one knew better than him how enormous the demand for energy was from the flesh and primordial spirit or golden elixir in the mythological realm, that crazy overdraft had almost cost him his life.
"It can only be like this, I suddenly realized that when the heaven and earth's original energy is insufficient to supplement the internal original fetus's transformation needs, the original fetus will automatically absorb the flesh body's blood essence to supplement its energy. If it continues like this, I'm afraid that before even breaking through the boundary, my essence will be completely depleted and I'll lose my life."
Feng Qingyang smiled wryly and said, "I barely managed to suppress the violent uprising of the primordial fetus within my body. I had no choice but to return to the cave, seal myself off, and repress it until just a few days ago when I finally managed to fully suppress it and temporarily escape danger. During this time, I have been thinking deeply and reviewing countless ancient records left behind by predecessors about the description of the Mythical Realm boundary. Finally, I arrived at an astonishing conclusion: why no one has ever broken through the shackles to reach the Mythical Realm in thousands of years."
