After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 907 Sword Dao Cultivation Improvement, Two Items in the Treasure Box!
in the room.

The eight-winged centipede, who was engrossed in studying the "Thirty-Six Formations of Qimen Dunjia," was startled awake by Chen Yang's sudden sword intent.

It glanced at Chen Yang, then turned away and immersed itself in the ocean of knowledge.

……

There was no wind or rain that night.

In one night, Chen Yang used up all five sword seeds.

The harvest was plentiful.

With the help of the immense sword intent contained within the sword, Chen Yang's understanding of the Azure God Sword Technique has become significantly more profound.

The four major sword techniques of the Azure God Swordplay.

These are respectively the Falling Sword Technique, the Myriad Swords Technique, the Flying Sword Technique, and the Heavenly Sword Art.

Previously, he had been taught by Yu Huaizhen and learned the Falling Sword Technique and the Myriad Swords Technique, but he had not yet mastered the Flying Sword Technique and the Heavenly Sword Manual.

The Flying Sword Technique is a method of controlling swords with one's primordial spirit. When cultivated to a high level, it is not difficult to take someone's head from a distance.

The Heavenly Sword Technique is a mental cultivation method that allows one to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to imbue sword techniques with the elemental energies of the five elements, such as wind and thunder, thereby enhancing destructive power and lethality.

However, both the Flying Sword Technique and the Heavenly Sword Art are much more difficult to cultivate than the Myriad Swords Technique and the Falling Sword Technique.

Even Yu Huaizhen himself had only scratched the surface of these two sword techniques.

Last night, with the help of five sword seeds, Chen Yang barely managed to get the basics of these two sword techniques.

in the room.

Chen Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly flashing with the light of a sword.

The Crimson Sky Sword slowly flew up from in front of him.

The primordial spirit wields the sword, and the sword and the mind are in harmony.

This is fundamentally different from simply controlling a sword with mental power.

Controlling a sword with mental power is simply not as free as controlling a sword with one's primordial spirit. Beyond the range of mental power, sword control ceases to exist.

With one's primordial spirit wielding a sword and one's consciousness following it, and with cultivation reaching a high level, one can completely transform into an intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of taking someone's head from millions of miles away.

Of course, traveling tens of millions of miles is a bit of an exaggeration, but theoretically it is not impossible if one is powerful enough.

Chen Yang is only a beginner at this stage, and can barely control the sword to fly using his primordial spirit.

After wobbling around the room a few times, feeling a bit tired, it summoned Chixiao back.

This flying sword technique still needs practice; I'll need to spend more time studying it in the future.

When one truly masters this sword technique, it's likely that, like Zhou Mingyuan, one could easily ascend to the heavens on a flying sword.

Chen Yang opened his right palm and used the Myriad Swords Technique. A small sword phantom formed from sword energy hovered in his palm.

"boom!"

With a thought, he activated the Heavenly Sword Technique, and the small sword phantom suddenly burst into flames, instantly transforming into a fiery sword.

This is the mystery of the Heavenly Sword Technique: it allows one to inject energy of other attributes into the sword technique, causing greater damage.

He was merely stirring up a little anger.

As the incantation was activated, the flames quickly extinguished, and the next second, wisps of arc light appeared on the sword shadow.

Zizi!

Arcs of electricity roared, and sword intent spread.

I just don't know how powerful it is.

There's nowhere to put this to use in a hotel.

Chen Yang clapped his hands together, and the sword shadow and arc of light disappeared together.

……

-

nice weather.

After breakfast, Zhou Mingyuan and his two companions left Xingbao County, but Chen Yang did not travel with them.

Longtai Mountain is very close to here, only a few dozen miles away. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so since we're here, we should definitely visit it.

It's been a long time since I've seen that old man Yang Wenhui. I wonder how he's been doing lately.

……

Longtai Mountain.

Located on the west side of Xingbao County, Chen Yang drove west and arrived at the foot of Longtai Mountain in less than an hour.

This place is truly remote and sparsely populated. The roads are well-maintained, but you won't see a single car for half a day. There are free-range cattle and sheep everywhere.

The rolling mountains resemble a giant dragon lying on the ground, with one towering peak standing proudly, like the dragon raising its head.

The mountain range stretches for dozens of miles, covered with pine trees, one after another. Chen Yang looked up and saw the Yang family of Longtai Mountain, the most mysterious of the eight lineages.

The mystery of the Yang family lies not in their strength, but in the place where they hide.

Of the eight mountain ranges, only the Yang family still lives in the mountains.

The other families, like the Tong family, also live at the foot of the mountain or outside the mountains. In modern society, there aren't many people who can stay secluded and are willing to live a life of isolation from the world.

The Yang family is definitely an exception.

A figure walked out from the mountain pass.

He is Yang Wenhui's grandson, I think his name is Yang Bo.

She was dressed casually and simply, and there was no change compared to a few months ago.

Physical physique is at the third level, but has not yet entered the spiritual realm.

"Chen Yang!"

Yang Bo headed straight for Chen Yang, leading a white horse behind him.

Chen Yang nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, you even went out of your way to pick me up!"

"polite!"

Yang Bo smiled and said, "My grandfather is very happy that you could come. He originally wanted to come in person, but today is the ancestral worship day, and he couldn't be absent. Please forgive him..."

"Oh? Then you..."

When Chen Yang heard that it was someone else's ancestral worship day, he felt a little embarrassed, as if he had come at the wrong time.

However, when he called Yang Wenhui earlier, Yang Wenhui didn't mention this matter on the phone, but just kept telling him to come over. He didn't think much of it, since it was nearby, so he came over.

"It's alright. Grandpa and the others are enough. There are many people in the clan. They won't miss me. Grandpa's task for me is to take good care of you!"

Yang Bo smiled and led the horse to him. "Get on the horse. The mountain road is difficult to travel, so riding a horse will be more convenient!"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated; this was truly a very common mode of transportation.

"No need. I ate too much this morning. I'll just take a walk to help digest!"

Chen Yang shook his head.

Yang Bo didn't say much, and immediately led the horse and Chen Yang up the mountain.

"Chen Yang, I heard you've already broken through to the Creation Realm?"

Yang Bo led the horse ahead, filled with curiosity about Chen Yang.

How could a young man who is about the same age as me be in the Spirit Realm?

As a member of the Yang family of Longtai Mountain, one of the Eight Families, Yang Bo did not consider himself to be particularly talented, but he did not slack off in any of the cultivation he should have. So how come he was so far behind others?

Yang Wenhui didn't call anyone else, but specifically asked him to pick up Chen Yang, which was also a deliberate choice, so that Yang Bo could have a good exchange with Chen Yang and absorb some valuable experience.

Chen Yang nodded, "I just broke through not long ago!"

"I really envy you. You've reached such heights at such a young age. Your future is absolutely limitless..."

Yang Bo began to flatter him blatantly, "We're about the same age. I cultivate every day, but I'm still far from reaching the Spirit Realm. My grandfather said you have extraordinary talent, but I didn't take it seriously before, thinking that hard work could make up for lack of talent. Now I realize that hard work is really worthless in the face of talent, especially someone as talented as you who is also so hardworking..."

Chen Yang simply smiled and said, "You can't say that. Cultivation involves many factors, including talent, opportunity, and hard work. Talent is only one of them..."

Yang Bo said, "Grandpa said you are very outstanding and told me to learn more from you. Chen Yang, you'll probably stay at Longtai Mountain for a while this time, so I can ask you for more advice!"

"I'm just passing through and stopped by to pay a visit to the old man. I probably won't be staying for more than two days!"

Chen Yang's gaze fell on Yang Bo. "You don't need to underestimate yourself. You're actually quite capable. Breaking through to the Spirit Realm before the age of forty isn't difficult. With the foundation of your Longtai Mountain, breaking through to the Creation Realm in your lifetime isn't impossible!"

Not everyone is Chen Yang; he is just an exception. For a truly normal cultivator, breaking through to the Spirit Realm before the age of forty is indeed considered outstanding.

Although he lacks some talent, if he can break through to the Spirit Realm before the age of forty, then there is indeed hope of breaking through to the Creation Realm before his lifespan ends.

Yang Bo nodded. "My grandfather said the same thing, but I still feel that forty years old is too slow. Is there any way to improve quickly?"

He looked back at Chen Yang, wanting to learn from him and get some guidance.

Chen Yang said, "You're still in the stage of tempering your physique. The only way is through arduous cultivation, supplemented by some internal and external spiritual medicines, to get through this stage as soon as possible. After breaking through to the Spirit Realm, go out and explore more. Staying in these mountains all the time will limit your vision and development. The Yang family is one of the eight branches of Panshan. Go to Panshan more often, take risks, improve your mental state, and seek opportunities. Don't be complacent and stay in one place. There's no future in working behind closed doors..."

"Oh!"

Yang Bo seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. Although Chen Yang spoke the truth, he only touched on the point and didn't let Yang Wenhui think that he was instilling any bad ideas in him.

Family members like Yang Bo are so well protected by their families that it would be quite difficult for them to go on adventures in Panshan.

Having the protection of a family is good, but it also means drawing a circle around yourself and being unable to break free. Relying solely on your own hard work, even with the experience of your predecessors and the resources of your family, you lack the opportunity to surpass them. Hard work alone is not enough; there are countless hard-working people out there, and they don't need you. You can only rely on talent.

But how many people have talent?

Therefore, only by going out can we have opportunities and chances.

Of course, opportunities don't come easily, but if you take action, there will always be opportunities. If you just wait at home, you won't have any chance at all. Do you expect opportunities to come to you?

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; the same principle applies to spiritual practice.

……

The two men and one horse walked for more than an hour in the mountains, the road becoming more and more remote and the trees becoming taller and taller.

After passing through a large pine forest, a small village appeared before Chen Yang in a mountain valley.

The altitude here is high, so the temperature is only around ten degrees Celsius.

The village is built against the mountain and has about a hundred households. The houses are simple and ancient in style, with pavilions and towers, and the eaves are high and steep, giving it an antique charm.

A narrow path meandered through the village. Upon entering, the village was unusually quiet; I walked for half a day without seeing a single person.

According to Yang Bo, today is the Yang family's ancestral worship day, and most of the clansmen went to the back mountain to perform the ceremony.

Chen Yang didn't know where the back mountain was. Since the Yang family was holding an ancestral worship ceremony, he naturally didn't need to join in the fun. Yang Bo led him to a four-courtyard house and settled him in the west wing of the back courtyard.

"I live in the east wing across the street. My parents and grandpa live in the middle courtyard. They should be back before noon. You should get some rest!"

Yang Bo led Chen Yang into the house, saying, "Conditions are limited in the mountains, please bear with us!"

"Good!"

Chen Yang smiled. Although the room was not big, it was very clean.

A desk, a bed with a mosquito net hanging on it, brand-new bedding folded up, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall—the arrangement was quite elegant.

"The shower and toilet are in the side room next door!" Yang Bo reminded him.

"Row!"

Chen Yang nodded. "Go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me!"

Yang Bo left.

Today is the ancestral worship ceremony, and if there's enough time, he should still go and participate.

The huge mansion was completely deserted.

Chen Yang went to the side room to wash up and cleanse himself of the dust of the journey. When he came out of the side room, a light drizzle began to fall.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a water vat, in which a lotus flower and several koi carp were kept.

Several pomegranate trees are planted in the corner, symbolizing many children and blessings. In the light rain, the whole courtyard is even more charming.

Back in his room, Chen Yang had nothing else to do, so he took out the box that the headless Dharma Body had given him.

With Huang Long and the others around these past two days, Chen Yang hasn't taken the box out to look at it.

Perfect, now that no one's around, he can act without any worries.

A black lacquered wooden box with gold trim and patterns. The box had no lock, only a gold clasp fastened to it.

With a flick of the finger, the clasp clicked open.

Chen Yang slowly opened the box, with the open side facing outwards.

Finding nothing amiss, they turned the box around.

There are two items in the box.

One of the items was a token made of some unknown metal, about the size of a palm, rectangular, with only the character "令" (command) on the front and an unidentified pattern on the back.

There was also a metal scroll.

I don't know what the material is, but it feels heavier than steel when I hold it in my hand.

Chen Yang gripped both sides of the scroll and tried to unroll it.

At first, he was afraid of breaking it, so he gradually increased the force. However, in the end, he used all his strength, but the metal scroll in his hand did not budge an inch.

"Hey?"

A strange look appeared on Chen Yang's face.

With his strength, he could easily break even black iron, so how could this scroll be so hard?

That's not how you drive it.
Chen Yang frowned and thought for a while, then simply ordered the same three dishes as always.

Try dripping blood first to see if you want to acknowledge the Lord.

no response.

He then used his true essence and vital energy to infuse it in.

Still no response.

Try using the primordial spirit again.

His primordial spirit was also isolated, and all his efforts were in vain.

What the hell...

Chen Yang frowned, once again at a loss for what to do.

"What exactly is it?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yang activated his golden body and consumed a Five Dragon Pill.

He unleashed the full power of the ten dragons, straining with all his might, his teeth clenched, his face flushed red.

After struggling for a long time, the scroll remained a scroll, and he couldn't unfold it at all.

I……

Chen Yang had spent all his time on this, but it was all for nothing, and he felt like cursing.

Even the combined power of ten dragons couldn't open this scroll. What exactly is hidden inside?
He tried to penetrate the scroll with his primordial spirit to take a look, but as soon as his primordial spirit energy touched the scroll, it was repelled by a mysterious force.

Unable to figure it out, he put the scroll back in the box and took out the token.

There was a seal on the back of the token, but Chen Yang didn't recognize the script on it.

I took out my phone, took a picture, and tried to translate it using a translation app, but it couldn't translate it at all.

It is vaguely discernible that the inscription on the seal should consist of four characters.

As for which four characters they were, Chen Yang pulled out a lot of hair but still couldn't make out the exact words.

Therefore, they had no choice but to seek help from the Five Thunder Immortals.

They're old enough and experienced enough; we might even get to know them.

Both the Three Corpse Divine Tree and the Five Thunder True Man were in a dilemma; it was clearly quite difficult for them.

The Five Thunder Immortal said, "I have never seen this kind of script before; perhaps it is some kind of Dao pattern."

“That’s right, it’s a Dao pattern. I can feel the unique heavenly might contained within it. Only Dao patterns can retain this heavenly might. However, this Dao pattern is different from the one left by the being who gave me the ‘Three One Five Tooth Scripture’ back then…” Shi Ling’s voice rang out, speaking with great certainty.

Dao patterns?
Chen Yang had some understanding of Dao patterns.

Dao patterns are divided into innate Dao patterns and acquired Dao patterns. Innate Dao patterns are traces left on special objects by the great forces of heaven and earth under extremely accidental circumstances.

These traces contain the rules of the Dao. Some high-level cultivators can comprehend the power of heaven and earth and understand the existence of laws by studying the Dao patterns, thereby improving their state of mind. Even more so, some exceptionally talented individuals can comprehend powerful supernatural abilities and techniques from them.

As for acquired Dao patterns, they are patterns carved by human cultivators in imitation of innate Dao patterns.

These patterns are obviously not as vivid or powerful as the innate Dao patterns, but if the writer's cultivation is strong enough and their understanding is deep enough, they can also possess a powerful aura of heaven and earth.

The characters on this token, engraved as seals, are clearly not innate Dao patterns, but acquired Dao patterns. However, it is unknown who created them, what this token means, and what its purpose is.

"They didn't even leave an instruction manual, just gave me two things for free without explaining how to use them. What use are they to me? I'd rather have a box of pills."

Chen Yang couldn't help but complain.

He squeezed a drop of blood from the wound on his fingertip onto the token.

The token did react somewhat.

That drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the token.

Immediately, Chen Yang felt a faint connection between himself and the token.

However, that was all; he still didn't know what the token was for.

"What do you think these two items are for?" Chen Yang put the token back into the box.

Wu Lei Zhenren and the others paused for a moment, clearly unable to answer.

Shi Ling said, "Since they were given by that being, they must be extraordinary. Keep them safe. When the time is right, you will naturally know what they are for..."

“Indeed, that being wouldn’t give you these two items for no reason; they must be extremely useful,” said Master Wu Lei.

At this moment, the eight-winged centipede crawled out of the backpack. "Chen Yang, how about we try using spirit blood? Wasn't that jar soaked in spirit blood before? This scroll of yours might also need to be soaked in spirit blood..."
