The Legend of the God of Cangyuantu

Chapter 7 Nine Years Later

Ever since joining Jinghu Taoist Temple, Meng Zhao had been practicing desperately. If he wanted to survive in this chaotic world where people eat each other, he had no choice but to practice hard.

Only by being strong enough to resolve this endless war can we go further!

Time passed quickly, and Meng Zhao began to show his talent while practicing in Jinghu Taoist Temple. He started practicing sword at the age of three and joined Jinghu at the age of six. Less than a month after his first practice, Meng Zhao successfully broke through and stepped into the first level of a cultivator, shocking the entire Jinghu Taoist Temple.

Foundation building realm!
The first major realm in the mundane stage is divided into four minor realms: early, middle, late, and peak.

……

Meng Zhao is already fifteen years old this year, and it is his ninth year at Jinghu Taoist Temple.

Meng Zhao, wearing a black Taoist temple costume and with a sword hanging around his waist, walked in front of the Taoist temple gate. His whole aura was calm and steady, like windblown catkins and as delicate as water.

For nine years, Meng Zhao repeated three things every day, that is, practicing sword, practicing, and reading history books!
In nine years, Meng Zhao's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. A year ago, he successfully broke through the Marrow Washing Realm and became a disciple of Shanshui Tower. He even ranked in the top ten with the strength of the middle stage of the Marrow Washing Realm!

Afterwards, he studied the secret techniques with Meng Chuan.

In order to comprehend the secret skills, Meng Zhao began to study the history books of the gods, and practiced swordsmanship through the knowledge left by his predecessors.

Unfortunately, Meng Zhao felt that he had reached the threshold of the secret technique, but he was unable to comprehend it. He was also very clear that only by comprehending the "secret technique" earlier would he be qualified to participate in the Yuanchu Mountain assessment. He could only use all the remaining time to improve his cultivation and finally reached the peak of the Marrow Washing Realm.

"Look, that's Senior Brother Meng Zhao. I heard that he broke through the Marrow Cleansing Realm a year ago, and he was in the middle stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. I heard that he neglected his cultivation this year and tinkered with secret techniques with Senior Brother Meng Chuan, and his strength has not been able to improve any further."

"Ah! How could Brother Meng Chuan be like this! If it weren't for this year, Brother Meng Zhao would definitely be able to reach the perfection of the Marrow Cleansing Realm and become one of the top five masters of our Taoist Academy!"

"Bullshit, with Senior Brother Meng Zhao's talent, he will soon become the senior brother of our Jinghu Taoist Academy and the second genius in our Dongning Prefecture to comprehend the "secret technique."

……

On the way to Shanshui Tower, many people talked about Meng Zhao after seeing him, because Meng Zhao was one of the most talented people of the younger generation. Mei Yuanzhi, who was even better than Meng Zhao, had mastered the "secret technique" a year ago and joined Yuyang Palace. He was accepted as a personal disciple by the Palace Master of Yuyang Palace.

Since then, Meng Zhao has become the number one genius in their minds, and after Mei Yuanzhi, the genius with the greatest chance of comprehending the "secret skills".

Meng Zhao was walking on the road. Hearing their discussion, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's not that easy to comprehend the secret technique."

"Brother Meng Zhao!"

A voice suddenly came from behind Meng Zhao.

A girl in a green short skirt appeared not far away. Meng Zhao lowered his head slowly, smiled and said, "Sister Qingping, long time no see."

"Brother Meng Zhao, is Meng Damu in there?"

Yun Qingping came in front of Meng Zhao. Yun Qingping was about 1.6 meters tall, a head shorter than Meng Zhao, and stood in front of Meng Zhao like a girl next door.

Meng Zhao shook his head and said, "I just arrived and haven't gone in yet. Sister Qingping, why don't you go in and take a look."

Yun Qingping put her hands on her hips, snorted coldly, and said, "Forget it. Meng Mutou is just as stupid as a blockhead. I have asked Lu Zhu to invite him to visit Dongshan, but I don't know if he is willing."

"Haha, the Demon Slaying Conference will begin on March 3rd. Junior Brother Meng Chuan probably doesn't want to go at this time."

Meng Zhao replied with a smile, waved at Yun Qingping, and walked towards Shanshui Tower.

"Humph……"

"He has rejected me seven times this month. I don't even know if he considers me his fiancée!"

After Meng Zhao left, Yun Qingping was left alone, stomping her feet angrily.

Meng Zhao returned to the Meng family and grew up with the young ladies and masters of the Divine Family. Naturally, he knew that Yun Qingping and Meng Chuan were not the same kind of people, but as the younger generation, they had no way to resist the marriage contract that had been made since childhood.

When Meng Zhao walked into Shanshui Building, he saw many young men and women gathered around the martial arts training platform, on which golden light curtains were appearing. Now, there were only a few days left before the Demon Slaying Conference on March 3rd, and the ranking of Shanshui Building disciples was updated every day. Every day, the list was updated, which aroused a lot of discussion among them.

"The results are out. The results are out."

"Senior Brother Wu Qi is first again!"

"Senior Brother Bai has risen to third place!"

"Senior Brother Meng Zhao is ranked in the top four!"

"Ah! Why did Senior Brother Meng Chuan fall again?"

"It will definitely fall. He is more diligent in painting than practicing swordplay."

……

Meng Zhao also came in and heard them talking about Meng Chuan. Meng Zhao walked to Meng Chuan, patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng Chuan, have you got any ideas on how to practice the secret skills recently?"

Meng Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's been a year, and my cultivation has fallen behind a lot. I still can't break through!"

"There's no rush."

Meng Zhao advised.

Meng Chuan nodded and replied: "I know."

Then, Meng Chuan continued to ask: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Meng Zhao, have you broken through to the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

"Ok!"

Meng Zhao nodded without hiding anything.

Meng Chuan said: "With your strength, Brother Meng Zhao, even if you break through the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Bai Guan will not be your opponent."

"Be more confident. Wan Mang is no match for me."

Meng Zhao said confidently.

"what?"

Meng Chuan was a little surprised. You know, the ranking of the top sixteen disciples in Shanshui Pavilion is updated every day. Ever since Mei Yuanzhi entered Yuyang Palace to practice, Wu Qi has occupied the first place in Shanshui Pavilion for two years, and his cultivation has been improved to the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm.

The second place Wan Mang is also in the early stage of the Rebirth Realm, and the third place Bai Guan is at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Meng Chuan thought that if Meng Zhao's strength broke through to the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, he would at most be able to squeeze out Bai Guan. However, he did not expect Meng Zhao to be so confident. He was so confident that he could defeat an expert in the early stage of the Rebirth Realm at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"Hahaha, stop standing there, let's go, it seems like there's someone up ahead who's very unhappy with you."

Meng Zhao looked at Meng Chuan standing there in a daze and couldn't help but laugh.

He put his arm around Meng Chuan's shoulders and walked forward together. Meng Chuan shook his head and said, "He... shouldn't be a problem."

"call out!"

Just as Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan walked to the library building, a young man with side bangs suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, blocked their way, and said gloomily, "Junior Brother Meng Chuan, you have been slacking off recently. Your ranking has dropped again!"

"As your senior brother, I can't let you go!"

"Oh? Then what advice do you have, Senior Brother Bai?" Meng Chuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered.
