Chapter 334: Strength Increases, Hidden Dragon No. 1

Chapter 334: Strength Increases, Qianlong First (4k)

According to the knowledge passed down in the Tiandou Order, during the heyday of the Tiandou Sect, it was said that there were 500 War Kings, more than the Tianjian Sect.

As for the Tianlong Sect and the Tianxin Sect, the number of powerful people in the heavenly realm is slightly less.

Therefore, among the four great sects, Tiandou Sect is the leader.

Of course, in the Qi Refiner system, the sword immortals have unparalleled combat power. Although the Tianjian Sect has fewer people, it is not weaker than the Tiandou Sect.

In addition, the Great Wilderness is vast and boundless, and there are also small and medium-sized sects scattered all over the place, hidden in deep mountains and swamps, and isolated islands overseas.

But they don't have top-level strongmen, so they either join the Four Heavenly Sects or stick together to form a collective sect.

The most famous one is the [Sea and Mountain Alliance] organization. The two leaders are also ninth-step strongmen, and they can shake the God of Wilderness together.

To join this organization, one must swear an eternal oath and covenant that will never change, like the mountains and seas.

Unfortunately, facts have proved that mountains and seas will change... The independent cultivation organizations such as Haishishanmeng were the first to be destroyed under the attack of the evil god.

The four great sects and the oaths of alliance, this is the power structure of all the Qi-refining practitioners in the Great Wilderness.

In short, if one has supreme combat power, he can become a hegemon in the wilderness and establish his own sect.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou silent, the sword spirit spun around and said proudly: [It’s good to know the way of the sword. 】

Lu Chenzhou: "The spear technique is not weak either."

[Humph! The five hundred war kings of the Tiandou Sect, who are proficient in swords, spears, halberds, and boxing, can compete with the number of heavenly realm masters of my Tianjian Sect. The difference is obvious! ]

"Okay, your swordsmanship is awesome, tell me where those secret treasures are."

【I can only think of one place now, the others are not in my mind. 】

"You are lying, otherwise why are you moving around so erratically?"

[I can only tell you one thing. What if you deceive me? People’s hearts are not as honest as they used to be. You modern people in the human world are not as honest as the people in the wilderness.]

"Okay, I'll learn some sword skills for you now to prove that I'm not lying."

After saying that, Lu Chenzhou opened the teaching video. In the video, an old man was teaching swordsmanship.

"The ninth set of Daxia basic swordsmanship begins now. The first move is to hold the chest in and stretch the back, then raise the sword and move forward..."

Seeing that Lu Chenzhou really wanted to learn swordsmanship, the sword spirit felt a little warm in his heart.

[He likes spearmanship so much that he is willing to practice basic swordsmanship from scratch for me.]

On that day, Lu Chenzhou mastered the basic sword technique to perfection.

For someone at his level, this basic martial art was not difficult at all. He could learn it at a glance and master it immediately.

However, it is of no use... except to fool the sword spirit.

[Divine Seed: Sword Heart Without Regrets (not of the highest rank), hidden in the Shaofu acupoint, immune to cold and heat, strengthens the body, and can slightly improve one's swordsmanship comprehension.]

"That's too fake, bro. The basic boxing technique is [No Regrets in the Fist], and now it's [No Regrets in the Sword]... So whatever I practice, it's all about no regrets, right?"

The sword spirit landed in front of him and said happily: [Not bad, now you have a foundation in swordsmanship. I can tell you the first secret treasure place.]

There is another reason why it insisted that Lu Chenzhou learn swordsmanship.

If you want to open the secret treasure of Li Jianxian, you still need some basic knowledge of swordsmanship, after all, Li Jianxian is looking for a successor to the sword art.

Even if Lu Chenzhou did not learn swordsmanship, some things in the Sword Immortal's secret treasure would be helpful for him to improve his strength.

It is not stupid, it can see that Lu Chenzhou is really not interested in swordsmanship.

It just wanted Lu Chenzhou to take out the treasure of Li Jianxian so that his brothers and sisters would not be buried in obscurity.

That’s right, Sword Spirit is such an awesome sword, and Li Jianxian has six more, known as the “Seven Swords of Li Tian”.

However, the other six swords were being nurtured in the Xuantian blessed land of the six worlds. Before they could be successfully nurtured, the sword immortal died.

If the seven swords were to unite into one, Li Jianxian would have the hope of becoming the leader of the twenty-four Lingtian immortals.

Seeing Ding Jian's attitude, Lu Chenzhou felt a little guilty: "Let me make it clear first, my swordsmanship comprehension is not good, so don't have too high expectations."

[The first secret treasure land is in the "Bran Ocean Realm". ]

"The Vast Sea Realm? Where exactly is it?"

Lu Chenzhou thought that since he had experienced the tribulation in his heart and could travel to other worlds, maybe he could encounter him.

[I don’t know either. I’m just a sword. Anyway, it’s right there. It shouldn’t be hard to find a small world…]

"..."

Brother, even if it is a small world, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I am not a god.
Lu Chenzhou let go of the thoughts, sat cross-legged in meditation, and entered a dreamland.

If you want to travel to other worlds, you need to reach the eighth level of Lingtian Realm.

What is Lingtian? Break through the void, soar into the sky, and travel through the void!
……

Nalanda Monastery, Arhat Hall.

A figure in white, surrounded by a protective golden light, moved swiftly.

The fist shadows are dense, and Qiongqi follows.

Wherever the fist lands, there will be casualties.

The average energy level of the strange monks here is close to 20 Ding, comparable to mid-level martial artists.

Some of the stronger ones even have forty or fifty Ding, which is close to the limit of martial artists.

Fortunately, Lu Chenzhou's spiritual level also skyrocketed, and with the protection of the Vajra Mantra, he was able to push forward all the way.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze seemed to blow from behind him, and it turned out to be a woman in black robe with a graceful figure and elegant posture.

The woman looked at him dimly and said softly, "Is it really okay for someone like you to be so good?"

Lu Chenzhou looked at the woman. Her appearance was like a combination of Shi Ruyu, Ji Feiyan... and even Shangguan Xue and other beauties he had seen.

The woman frowned, revealing a look of compassion. She walked lightly to Lu Chenzhou and hugged him gently.

"What's the point of living alone? Why not stay here with me forever?"

Lu Chenzhou's eyes were blurred. He gently put his arm around the woman's waist and patted her back gently.

The woman hugged Lu Chenzhou: "Yes, that's it."

Lu Chenzhou hugged tighter and tighter until golden flames burned on his arms.

The woman’s expression changed: “No, you’re hugging me too tightly… I’m suffocating.”

Golden flames shot up into the sky, and the woman's figure was cut in half, turning into ashes in the flames.

Her distorted face questioned: "Why are you like this? Don't you like them?"

Lu Chenzhou's eyes glowed with gold as he watched the woman die in silence.

It's outrageous that the pressure to get married has led to a fantasy world.

How can a mere physical body destroy his resolve to pursue the Dao?
God bless him, he really has no improper thoughts about Senior Shangguan Xue!

Lu Chenzhou looked at the Arhat Hall, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.

In the corner, there are rows of majestic-looking Arhat statues with peeling paint on their bodies, exactly 18 in total.

It is now known that the Buddhist teachings of the Three Thousand Worlds often originate from the four major Taoist sects.

Therefore, similar myths and legends are often circulated in different worlds.

According to experts, this was probably caused by a Qi-refining master from the Great Wilderness who appeared in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Lu Chenzhou leaped and came to the last statue of Subduing Tiger Arhat.

The other Arhats all had nothing in their hands, except for this one, which held a faintly glowing ancient Zen staff with a rusty surface.

A Zen stick is a tool used by monks to wake themselves up from sleep while practicing meditation.

Lu Chenzhou fought his way here from the foot of the mountain, and for the first time he saw weapons that were not rotten.

His intuition told him that this must be the magic weapon of this world.

He pulled out his Zen staff, and the statue of Subduing Tiger Arhat could not withstand the baptism of time and collapsed.

Faintly, there was a sound like a Huang Zhong Da Lu ringing in his mind.

A familiar feeling came into my heart.

"Dao Yin?"

The feeling is very faint and the image is fleeting.

Faintly, he seemed to see the shadow of a bloody little dog swallowing up the full moon in the sky.

Afterwards, a blood moon appeared on earth.

……

Practice room.

Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes, and divine light shot into the void.

The sea of consciousness was churning, and mental strength continued to rise until it reached 136 Prajna.

He rubbed his brows and looked at his right hand, which was empty.

He had a hunch that it was a magic weapon, but unfortunately, he couldn't bring it out.

Fortunately, apart from him, there is no living person in the Nalanda Monastery. There is a high probability that he will still be there next time I go in.

Now that he has the spell-sealing technique, he has defense.

What is lacking are, first, the method of attack, and second, weapons.

He opened the chat group of Nalanda Monastery, and now there were ten group members, most of whom were masters and great masters.

The weakest ones are the two geniuses, him and Xuankong.

[Ming Xin: Important information, I made a breakthrough today and entered the temple's scripture pavilion, and saw some ancient secrets. ]

【Toutian Toudao: Let me tell you about it.】

[Mingxin: There is a peerless demon suppressed under the Sakya Temple, it may have the strength of the sixth realm. ]

[Xuankong: Six realms? Before the demons invaded this world, the highest combat power was only at the level of our Grandmaster.]

[Mingxin: It is said that the 20th Living Buddha of Sakya Monastery suppressed it with the help of a treasure. I read the classics and learned that this world was originally called the Dali Dynasty. Later, demons invaded and civilization was broken. After the end of the world, only a very small number of Taoist sects with treasures to suppress it survived. They rebuilt the mountain gate on the wasteland and searched for survivors.]

[Toutian Toudao: At present, there are only two pure lands left, Xuanbing Pavilion and Sakya Monastery. 】

[Mingxin: No, there is another place. It is located in the vast ocean, hidden away from the outside world... It is called Hanhai Sect.]

[Lu Chenzhou: Senior Mingxin, do you know the name of this world? ]

[Ming Xin: I don’t know. The world is nameless, and we humans don’t have a name either. Perhaps only the wilderness can give the world a name.]

After everyone shared the information, Lu Chenzhou asked, "Sword Spirit, have you heard of the Hanhai Sect?"

[No, how come you have found the Vast Sea Realm? ]

The sword spirit's tone was also a little excited.

"Maybe... not sure."

[Alas, even if you find it, what does it matter? With your ability, it will take you forever to cross the border.]

"You look down on people, don't you?"

[What I said is the truth... But if you practice swordsmanship, with my help, it will be no problem for you to enter the heavenly realm within a hundred years, and break the void within two hundred years.]

"If I practice swordsmanship, can you let me take the ninth step?"

[What is your talent? It depends, unless you collect all the master's secret treasures. Alas, if that Taoist had not died early, he would have the best chance of inheriting my master's Taoist tradition.]

Lu Chenzhou’s inner thoughts: You can look down on me, but you can’t look down on my brother Shu. Don’t look down on a young man just because he’s poor!

……

Another month has passed and golden autumn has arrived.

9 month 12 day.

In the interior scene, the 210th star in the sky takes shape.

The stars in the opened acupoints are twinkling together, like a drone show, forming mysterious patterns through arrangements and combinations.

The starlight is like a waterfall, spanning the sky and the earth.

The spring rain of energy and blood nourishes the earth and makes the grass and trees green.

The mountain torrent of true energy flows into the river, flowing endlessly.

In the far north, the cold dragon inhales and exhales air.

In the west, red cranes fly high into the wind.

In the shrine, the yellow dragon roared towards the sky.

The blood lotus, the precious energy from the clouds... the precious energy from the five elements were also nourished and grew.

At the peak of martial arts, the young man has already stepped onto the third observation deck of the second spiral.

"The acupoints are also at the final stage. I only need 60 more acupoints to break through to the third stage."

240 orifices is the lower limit, and the requirement for breaking the three is 270 orifices.

In the 55 times gravity room, Lu Chenzhou punched out casually, his blood and energy like a dragon, roaring and screaming.

[Current HP: 242 points...]

[Current energy level: 60 Ding...]

"This time, the resonance of the acupoints has increased my Qi and blood by dozens of points. The power of my ordinary punch has also far exceeded the limit of the second realm."

For a normal person, even one with the Qi and blood and acupoints at the second level, the power of one punch is only about 50 Ding.

And he still has a lot of room for promotion.

"So, when I reach my limit, I won't need a magic weapon and can fight against the third realm, right?"

After resting, he simply started his battle journey and went to communicate with the Mantis Demon.

He took off his armor and gun...he fought with only a pair of tiger fist blades.

The power of the Mountain God Subduing Demon Fist, which is close to perfection, is comparable to that of the Heavenly Fate Black Tiger Fist.

One man and one demon fought for three hundred rounds.

UI.

"go to hell!"

Lu Chenzhou crossed his fists and blades and pushed his palms outwards. The flowing light shook the demon sword away. The big flesh on his arms trembled, and he thrust forward suddenly, with his fists piercing into the abdomen of the mantis demon.

Cut open the belly, all in one go!
At this time, the mantis demon's wing knife also slashed towards him.

After the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, the mantis demon fell to the ground and a golden light burst out.

Lu Chenzhou was cut in half and was on the verge of death.

He was unable to dodge and was eventually killed by the damn golden nematode.

"Hahaha, I won. I won with my boxing skills!"

This time, without the help of magic weapons, he only relied on ordinary C9 alloy fist blade to kill the third-level monster!
In the practice room.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the martial arts tree, and the "Mountain God Subduing Demon Fist" was shining brightly.

【Good luck in mind can make you achieve twice the result with half the effort! 】

……

midnight.

Lu Chenzhou stopped and stood still, exhaling a long breath of white air.

His eyes were like a tiger's, and his divine power was immense.

[Mountain God Subduing Demon Fist: Minor Success (100%) → Major Success (1%)]

Qi and blood flow like a river, rushing endlessly, flowing through the limbs and bones, filling and strengthening them.

After some measurement, he found that his Qi and Blood value had reached 260 points.

"It looks like I have to slow down my progress on the Tiger Demon Tai Sui Kung Fu a bit, and wait until I reach the third level before making another breakthrough."

Next, he also had two horizontal trainings, a light skill, and acupoints and other ways to increase his Qi and blood.

If the Tai Sui Gong reaches the sixth level too early, it will inevitably become saturated, ultimately wasting Qi and blood, unless one can obtain a Xuan-grade treasure that greatly increases the upper limit of Qi and blood.

……

The next day.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Chenzhou got up on time.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I was bombarded with messages from last night.

He opened the group of Genius Class 1 and saw a bunch of messages @ him.

[Old Tian: Am I blind? How did Chen Zhou get to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking? Did Chen Zhou do something big again? ]

【Chen Xiaoyun: It’s the points bonus from the World Championships… It’s impossible to break three.】

【Xiao He: I envy you. I am among the top 400 and look up to you. 】

[Wang Hongdao: Alas, I finally climbed into the top 200...]

[Cheetah: Shen Zhou, I must treat you when I return to Su City! ]

[Yao Sheng: I don’t know how Lord Duotianyuan feels… The first place hasn’t even warmed up yet, but it’s already been snatched away by Shen Zhou.]

【Zhou Xingkong: Senior Sun is almost 35 years old, so he will be removed from the list soon.】
