Destiny is ashes

Chapter 697: Taibai Condenses the Dust and Repels the West Wind

The so-called true teachings refer to those talented warriors who the teachers believe can at least achieve divine treasure, have a chance of achieving sainthood, and can inherit the great way and continue the glory of the sect.

According to An Jing's classification method, the level of a great sect's true disciple is quite extraordinary. It starts at least from a third-tier city-level warrior or even a provincial capital-level warrior. The pinnacle is an international metropolis or world-class first-tier, capital-level warrior like his own master Ming Guangchen.

The capital-level warriors were called "Tianjiao" in Huaixu. They generally referred to super genius seeds that could not only show sainthood, but also achieve pure yang.

In fact, Ming Guangchen was not considered an orthodox genius at the beginning, because he concealed his strength as the "Jinyuan Skywalker" - but when he was besieged by the true disciples of various sects, including the true disciples of Shangxuan Sect, Ming Guangchen showed his true ability and revealed his true strength.

He fought against many enemies alone and finally killed all of them before breaking through to become a great saint... Ming Guangchen's deeds not only shocked all the martial artists from the northern border sects, but also the entire Beixuan Continent and even the major sects from the Huaixu Ten Continents became interested in him.

The so-called genius is 'everyone in the world knows you'.

An Jing naturally meets this standard. No one thinks that An Jing cannot become a saint. The most important thing is whether he can pass the [Dao Palace Pure Yang Tribulation].

The number of true disciples in the entire Mingjing Sect is constantly changing. Some die while on a mission, or are too old to successfully break through and choose to become the sect's managing elders. Occasionally, a generation is particularly outstanding, and the number of true disciples will be more than usual.

The number of Mingjing Sect's true disciples in this generation remained roughly around the average, with a total of fifty-two people. Eleven of them were true disciples of the older generation like Mingguang Chenming and Guang, all of whom had become divine treasures at a very young age.

There are many excellent seeds among the forty-one people of the new generation, but only a few can really reach the level of Mingguang Chen. The number of true disciples like Ming and Guang who are most likely to be at the peak of the second line may be less than ten in total.

The old generation of true disciples, as long as they accept disciples, they will automatically give up the position of true disciples and become the masters of each hall. Just like the brothers Ming Guangchen and Ming Heguang, they are now concurrently serving as the masters of the thirty-six halls, but they usually run around outside and don't take care of things.

The uncles of An Jing who died also left behind some true disciples. They will inherit some of their master's titles and resources. Now they are being trained by their great-grandmaster Chen Yinzi. However, their aptitude is relatively average. In the future, they will probably be able to rely on time to reach the peak of their martial arts, or if they are lucky, they will become a divine treasure. Then the limit for them will be to be a hall master.

This time, those who sent visiting cards to An Jing were the most powerful ones among the true disciples. Each of them was a first-class figure. Although they might not be as good as Ming Guangchen, their talents and abilities were at least on par with heirs like Ming Heguang.

"Seven people, except for Master's Xiaoming Peak, there is exactly one person in each peak."

An Jing took a quick glance and found that many of the names listed were familiar to him. They were all outstanding figures in the sect who had been introduced to him by his grandmaster and uncles.

Yes. If they were the same age, these people would never be stronger than him, but these true disciples were all gifted geniuses, with no lack of hard work, talent, and opportunities. They were also a few years older than him, so there were a few of them who might be of some interest to him, and An Jing was quite concerned about them.

But the focus this time is not on these true friends.

Instead, it urged those who have received the true teachings to come and visit.

"Except for one or two people here, the others must be the people above who can't hold back any longer and want to come over to test my situation."

An Jing said to Fu Xie, "Most of these true disciples were on missions outside or traveling around the world before. They came back to the sect for me, so I must treat them well. But they must have met their masters and ancestors before. If there is anything abnormal about them, they will definitely be infected a little."

"With your sensitivity to demonic energy, Fuxie, you will surely be able to discover that a few people have unusual demonic energy, right?"

"That's natural."

Fu Xie said confidently: "If it is really the Supreme Heart Demon that has infected me and has already manifested itself, then I will definitely be able to discover it."

"If it is not manifested, then the Supreme Inner Demon is actually not a threat and can be regarded as a normal person for the time being."

"Yeah. At least this way, we can filter out the most dangerous demon collaborators among the crowd."

An Jing nodded slightly. To him, the traitors in Dachen and Tianyi Demon Sect were actually somewhat unimportant, because these two forces did not want to see the complete collapse of Mingjing Sect. If one had to talk about the cooperation between the traitors and them, it was actually similar to the communication between the Master and King Jing. In essence, they were all leading Mingjing Sect to get closer to them, except that they were not so equal at most.

The Shangxuan Sect is a bit dangerous, because they are spying on the fragments of the Haotian Mirror. In addition, they also have a special interest in Mingguangchen, so they need to be very vigilant. As for the Taiming Sect and the Heavenly Demon, the former is determined to collapse the Mingjing Sect, or at least never to revive and threaten their position, while the latter is the Heavenly Demon. These cockroaches, it is absolutely right to step on and kill them when you meet them, and they must not be tolerated!

"Visit them in ten days. For ten days, ignore them for now and focus on your own affairs."

Looking up, An Jing was supervising his fellow disciples' practice in the martial arts arena. He stood up and said to Xu Keji who was practicing with a spear, "Keji, raise your left hand by five centimeters, lean forward, exert force on your lumbar spine and soles of your feet, and use the internal energy in your body to exert force with the 'armor-piercing true energy', and visualize your body burning with fire!"

"Yes!"

Although it was a micro-manipulation, Xu Keji easily understood An Jing's intention. He changed according to An Jing's instructions and suddenly felt that the force was smoother. An invisible penetrating gun force burst out and turned into a white gust of wind, piercing the target in front of him in mid-air.

Gun power!

Seeing this, Xu Keji was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother!"

"Well, you are making good progress. In a few days, I will be able to teach you 'Bixifeng'."

An Jing continued to let Xu Keji practice and take notes, then gave him some pointers on how to use his energy, thinking in his heart: "Everyone's practice is good, and the Huangtian Houtu method is enough to lay a foundation, but further practice still requires thinking."

"Fire, earth, and wood can all practice 'The withered grass and trees return to the flaming earth', water can practice 'The cold water and the smoke wield the snow blade', and for metal, I can have them practice the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition. If they can't practice it, they can practice the simplified version of 'Taibai Condenses the Dust and Banes the West Wind'."

'Bi Xi Feng' is a metal martial arts formation diagram that An Jing recently developed by summarizing his Taibai Haoling divine prohibitions in the foundation-building stage, mixing the Huaixu realm's body-refining martial arts and his own 'Condensing Qi Dust Soldiers' magical power. It uses the power of destiny to condense the golden Yuan Lingsha in the body, which can break through the body and release sword energy at any time. The magical powers are 'Fire in the Pupils', 'Iron Bones and Golden Muscles', 'Solid Lead Heart', 'Unfinished Core Magic' and 'Sharp Divine Will'.

When one's practice reaches perfection, one can condense dust into swords out of thin air, transforming them into hundreds of indestructible invisible blades surrounding the body. With just a single move, one can pounce on an army formation and stir up a bloody storm in an instant.

In this way, the five elements of the practice method in An Jing's hand are gathered together and can be adapted to everyone, but there are still some pure people whose practice speed of returning to Yantu may not be very fast, but An Jing also has plans.

The wood attribute is mainly focused on 'the cycle of life and death', the fire attribute is mainly focused on 'burning all things to serve oneself', and the earth attribute is mainly focused on 'all things disappear and return to dust'. One skill has three different levels of advancement, which is also another path. In the future, when An Jing has obtained more and better skills, we will consider developing and upgrading them.

During this process, An Jing also put his development experience and thoughts in the library of Mingguang Peak, leaving them for future generations to learn. Who knows, in the future he won't need to develop it personally, and there may be a genius among the Sons of Disaster who can complete the ideas by himself?
However, these are only suitable for general talents.

His companion star, 'Purple Qi' Gu Yeqi, really needs an exclusive skill.

'Purple Qi' Gu Yeqi is of pure wood attribute. Due to the four surplus characteristics, it has a bit of yin meaning, which is 'breeding and spreading, growing quietly', so it cannot be mixed with the cultivation methods of other attributes.

An Jing wanted to develop it, but he really hadn't gotten any good methods to improve the wood element, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

However, there is no need to worry too much in this regard, because the Gu family's "Beidou Hundred Refining Method" is a fundamental cultivation method without attributes obtained from the dragon clan.

As long as it is optimized as a basis, the effect should be no less than that of exclusive amendments.

Turning around, An Jing saw Gu Yeqi floating in the air, his black hair curling, and the invisible energy around him sweeping the surroundings like a spinning fan. He used a method that was almost an artificial spirit gathering array to accelerate the process of absorbing the spiritual evil of heaven and earth, just like a big tree in the gale, dancing its branches and leaves, extending its roots, standing tall in the wind and rain, and even growing stronger.

This is actually not normal.

The general practitioners of the Hundred Refining Method practice like wildly dancing dragons and snakes, emphasizing the momentum that covers the sky and the sun, and are as unstoppable as if all the stars are punching out at the same time. When a punch is thrown, the fist force is split into pieces, and the person who is hit is dead before he even realizes it.

But because of the influence of the purple qi, Gu Yeqi embarked on a quieter path of practice - other people would be shattered into pieces with one punch, and stars would fall, but she was deeply rooted, with thousands of roots solidifying the earth, and her foundation was incredibly stable.

This is her characteristic. If she can make good use of it, Gu Yeqi's cultivation speed will definitely be incredibly fast.
