Sword from Songshan

Chapter 163 Six Hundred and Forty Internal Strength

"Take care, leader!"

At the foot of Mount Songshan, Master Dingyi bowed solemnly to Lu Nanxing and said goodbye.

Nun Dingxian has passed away, and Dingyi is the only one left among the Three Dings of Hengshan. Now that she has taken over as the head, she will certainly not return to Huangshan.

He led the disciples of Baiyun Temple and Wusheng Temple back to Hengshan.

"Take care, Master."

Lu Nanxing also clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

Master Dingyi had a serious expression on her face and led all the Hengshan disciples to leave.

Yi Lin followed behind, looking back frequently, her eyes full of reluctance.

We say goodbye today and I don’t know when we will meet again.

"I have been bothering Huangshan for some time. Thank you, Alliance Master Lu, for taking care of me."

Yue Buqun led the Huashan group here, with Yue Lingshan following beside him.

How could Yue Lingshan miss such a grand event like the Five Mountains Conference? Knowing that Lu Nanxing would not take her with him, she mixed in with the nuns in Baiyun Temple and followed them to Songshan.

Although she tried her best to dress up, how could she hide it from her parents?

As soon as the meeting ended, Yue Buqun pulled out Yue Lingshan who was trying to escape.

She ran away from home on impulse. Now that so much time has passed, it's time for her to return to Huashan.

"The Five Mountains are of the same blood. Master Yue, there is no need for you to say these polite words."

Lu Nanxing spoke in a calm tone with a slight smile on his face.

Yue Buqun mentioned Huangshan specifically just now, intending to implicate Lu Nanxing's identity.

Lu Nanxing's statement that the Five Mountains are of the same origin means that he is also the head of Taishan Sect, and he fought back.

Yue Buqun smiled and didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

"I will take my leave now."

They didn't get along and were not the same kind of people. Yue Buqun bowed and said something, then led everyone from the Huashan Sect away.

Lu Nanxing also bowed and watched them leave.

He saw Yue Lingshan turned her head, but she did not make faces at him or clench her fists like she did in the past. Instead, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Lu Nanxing had no expression on his face and did not respond.

Soon after, the Hengshan School also came over. After Liu Zhengfeng and Lu Nanxing chatted for a few words, they led everyone to say goodbye and leave.

Then came Shaolin, Wudang, and other martial arts sects, all coming to say goodbye.

This place is Songshan, but Zuo Lengchan, the head of the sect, has been sent to Shaolin, so he cannot see the guests off. As for other people from Songshan Sect, such as Tang Ying'e and Le Hou, their status is not high enough.

Although Lu Nanxing is no longer in the Songshan Sect, he is now the head of the Five Mountains Sect. It is reasonable for him to see off the guests as the host.

After more than half an hour, everyone said goodbye and left.

At this time, behind Lu Nanxing, there were still people from Taishan Sect and Huangshan Sect.

"After you go back, close the door and practice hard. Don't cause trouble. If there is anything, send a letter and I will handle it when I return."

He gave some instructions to Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Guangjin and ordered them to return to Huangshan.

As for Lu Nanxing himself, he went to Mount Tai!

In addition to being the head of the Huangshan Sect, he is now also the head of the Taishan Sect.

Lu Nanxing had never thought of this identity before.

The reason for accepting it is to have a legitimate reason to stop this parallel operation.

Now that the goal has been achieved, this identity is no longer needed.

But now is not the time to step down as the leader of Taishan Sect.

If you are not the head of Taishan Sect, you are not one of the Five Mountains. How can you be the leader of the Five Mountains?

If Lu Nanxing gives up the position of leader of the Five Mountains, it will inevitably fall into the hands of Zuo Lengchan or Yue Buqun. Both of them are ambitious. Once they have power in their hands, they will definitely promote the merger of factions.

Both Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun regard Lu Nanxing as a thorn in their eyes and will do something bad to him.

After going around in a circle, aren't we back to the starting point?

Therefore, Lu Nanxing will temporarily serve as the leader of the alliance and the head of the Taishan Sect.

One should do his job well in his position. Ever since Dongfang Bubai descended from the Black Wood Cliff, the Taishan Sect has suffered heavy losses one after another. Now Taoist Tiansong has died. Although it is not a matter of life and death, it is still a critical moment.

On the contrary, the Huangshan Sect, as Lu Nanxing's direct line, is very stable in all aspects. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not.

After a little thought, Lu Nanxing decided to go to Taishan Sect first.

"Master, take care!"

Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Guangjin saluted solemnly and followed the order to lead the Huangshan disciples to leave.

"We walked."

After looking at the backs of his disciples for a while, Lu Nanxing turned around and gave a light call, then led the Taishan Sect on the road.

The distance from Songshan to Taishan is only a thousand miles. You don't have to ride fast, and it will only take three or four days to get there.

Then they went up to the Jade Emperor Peak, where Lu Nanxing sat in the main hall of Taishan Sect and summoned all the main disciples of Taishan Sect.

"This……"

Seeing Lu Nanxing sitting in the seat of the head sect leader, but not seeing Taoist Tiansong coming back, and seeing that Tianbai, Tianyi and others did not object, everyone in Taishan sect was confused.

Lu Nanxing didn't say anything, but gestured to Tianbai.

"My fellow disciples."

Taoist Tianbai understood, gave a light shout and stood up.

Next, he recounted what happened at the Five Mountains Conference.

"what!"

"Damn you Mu Gaofeng!"

"Revenge for the Master!"

Upon hearing that Taoist Tiansong was killed by Mu Gaofeng, everyone in Taishan Sect was outraged and wanted to go down the mountain immediately to kill Mu Gaofeng.

However, despite all the shouting, no one took action.

With their second-rate martial arts skills, no one could be a match for Mu Gaofeng. They were just talking for show.

Tianbai sneered and ignored him, then he recounted how Yuyinzi succeeded him and then passed the throne to Lu Nanxing, and how Lu Nanxing represented Taishan Sect in the competition, defeated four sects, and was finally elected as the leader of the Five Mountains.

"Leader? We are the leaders!"

After hearing the last part, everyone from Taishan Sect was surprised, and then their faces were filled with excitement.

The Five Mountains Alliance has existed for many years. At first, Huashan was the strongest, then Songshan became the most respected, and Taishan Sect has been neither up nor down.

In the past two years, it had been severely damaged by the Demon Cult, with several leaders having died in succession and many masters being killed or injured. It had almost fallen to the bottom of the Five Mountains.

No one expected that at this time, it would suddenly turn the tide and become the leader of the Five Mountains!
"Great!"

When they came to their senses, everyone in the hall was excited and celebrated.

As for the death of Taoist Tiansong, no one mentioned it again, let alone revenge.

Although his time in office was short, it can be seen that Tiansong was indeed not a very good leader.

As for the fact that Lu Nanxing, an "outsider", suddenly became the head of Taishan Sect, no one raised any objections.

Yuyinzi took the initiative to pass on the throne, and Tianbo and Tianyi also agreed. Who else has any objections?

Even if they were dissatisfied, who among them could beat Lu Nanxing? Besides, with Lu Nanxing's martial arts prestige, it would be beneficial to Taishan Sect to serve as the head of Taishan Sect.

The position of leader of the Five Mountains has already proved this point.

For a moment, there was not much sadness in the Taishan Sect, but rather a great deal of excitement.

"Ah."

Looking at His Highness's joy, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but chuckle.

I originally thought that if I wanted to keep this position, I would have to do some tricks, such as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Now it seems that he was completely overthinking.

Although he somewhat despised the current Taishan Sect, it did save him a lot of trouble.

Next, Lu Nanxing officially stayed in Taishan Sect as the head of the sect.

A few days later, Taishan Sect held another succession ceremony for the headmaster. Although Taishan Sect is no longer what it used to be, it is still a first-class sect in the martial arts world, and some formalities still need to be followed.

In addition, all matters of the Taishan Sect, big or small, such as the handling of silver and money, the maintenance of relationships with other sects, and even some grudges, were also handed over to Lu Nanxing.

Lu Nanxing was completely overwhelmed by this.

Whether he was in the Songshan School or when he established the Huangshan School, he had never taken care of these trivial matters.

So, he called Yu Yinzi, Tian Bai and Tian Yi to come and hand over all the matters to them. The three of them were all elders of Taishan Sect and were familiar with the situation, so it was much easier for them to do the work than Lu Nanxing.

Moreover, the three of them were all mediocre in martial arts and were already quite old, so it was impossible for them to make much progress. The more affairs they were responsible for, the more authority they had, and they were happy with it.

As for the leader Lu Nanxing, he only needs to stay in Mount Tai.

For a moment, my whole body felt relaxed.

At night, in the master’s abode.

Lu Nanxing sat cross-legged on a cushion, with his five hearts facing the sky, like a clay or wooden sculpture.

Time passed slowly, and before he knew it, it was already late at night. Lu Nanxing suddenly opened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As expected, this is the ultimate secret of the little wooden tripod."

Just now, Lu Nanxing had used up several years of internal energy to practice the Buddha's body-refining technique condensed from the smoke in the small wooden tripod.

After expending a total of twenty years of energy, he finally mastered the fleshy bun on top of his head.

At this moment, Lu Nanxing's body was greatly tempered!

Lu Nanxing had long known that this was a method of body training that integrated internal energy into the flesh and blood, thereby enhancing physical strength.

But this is not the case. Once this picture is fully practiced, the difference in effect will be huge.

In an instant, Lu Nanxing felt that the twenty years of internal energy that had been integrated into his flesh and blood seemed to have turned into millions of iron hammers of different sizes, which began to frantically hammer every part of his body, even every cell.

At this moment, he was like a piece of stubborn iron, but under the constant pounding of these internal force hammers, he began to become more and more pure and solid.

It sounds painful, but it is not. During the beating, Lu Nanxing actually felt relaxed all over.

It was not that the force of these blows was insufficient, but that his physique, after having been improved through a series of extraordinary mental techniques, was already able to withstand these blows.

After all, iron is still iron, not earth or stone.

This went on for more than two hours. By the time Lu Nanxing came to his senses, all of his internal energy transformed into the iron hammer had been exhausted, and he had already been hit by tens of millions of big and small hammers.

After being tempered so many times, the original stubborn iron has turned into a piece of fine steel!
At this time, Lu Nanxing was so physically strong that ordinary sticks were useless to him. Even sharp swords, if they were a little blunt, would probably not be able to cut through his flesh.

Seeing such a strong body, even Lu Nanxing today couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The small wooden tripod served as his golden finger. After going through so much trouble, the martial arts secrets that were finally presented were truly extraordinary.

Buzz~!

"Huh? This is..."

Just as Lu Nanxing was happy about his improved physical strength, the small wooden tripod made a buzzing sound and the smoke pattern on it changed.

It is still a Buddha, with a white hair between his eyebrows, soft like a brocade, one zhang and five feet long, spiraling and curled up to the right, always emitting light, which can be called hair light or eyebrow light.

"really."

After seeing the Buddha statue clearly, Lu Nanxing opened his eyes slightly and showed joy on his face.

This is exactly the white hair between the eyebrows, which is the second of the thirty-two characteristics of the Buddha.

This proves that Lu Nanxing's previous guess was correct. The small wooden tripod produced not just one but thirty-two complete Buddha images!

This means that Lu Nanxing needs to cultivate all thirty-two aspects of Buddha before he can achieve great success.

"What's the difference..."

Like the previous Buddha statues, this one also has meridian acupoints marked.

Lu Nanxing pondered for a moment, then tried to practice.

Although they are different Buddha statues and the meridian points are different, they both use the method of dispersing internal force into the flesh and blood, but the methods and paths are slightly different.

Come to think of it, Lu Nanxing's body has been tempered a lot at this point. If he still uses the previous method, it would be difficult for him to penetrate his internal energy into his limbs and bones.

But in short, it is still about body training.

Based on this speculation, the thirty-two phases are most likely all about body training.

After practicing only the first Buddha form, Lu Nanxing's physical condition has improved significantly. What will happen if he practices all thirty-two forms?

"King Kong is indestructible!"

Lu Nanxing's expression was serious, and a word emerged in his mind.

With just one painting, he has achieved such an accomplishment. If he could complete the thirty-two paintings, no matter if it was swords, axes, fire or lightning, I am afraid that nothing in this world could hurt his body.

In this way, you will be invincible in the world!

Lu Nanxing’s current martial arts skills are already top-notch, but he is still some distance away from being invincible.

If he was just an ordinary person in the world, without any conflicts, he would naturally be able to live a happy life.

But unfortunately, his current situation is not good.

On the righteous side, Zuo Lengchan, who practiced the magic of the Holy Fire Token, and Yue Buqun, who learned the Dugu Nine Swords, both regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

As for foreign enemies, Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing are even more incompatible with good and evil.

The martial arts of these four people are either the best in the world or have the potential to become the best in the world. Even Lu Nanxing dare not underestimate them.

Facing internal and external troubles, Lu Nanxing thought about it and decided to improve his martial arts in order to break the impasse.

Force can defeat skill. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless!

Compared with Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan, Lu Nanxing's Shenzhaogong is also a peerless magical skill, and he also has the potential to become the best in the world.

But if you want to master the magical power, it will take at least several years.

Lu Nanxing was afraid that he didn't have so much time. Not to mention the others, Dongfang Bubai alone would definitely not fail to react.

It has been quite some time since the battle at Black Wood Cliff. Lu Nanxing estimated that Dongfang Bubai would soon return to the martial arts world.

This method of refining the body of the thirty-two aspects of Buddha can be accomplished quickly by expending only a little energy, which is just right!
"Six hundred and forty years."

It took Lu Nanxing twenty years of effort to achieve the previous fleshy bun on his head.

If each of the following Buddha images requires twenty years of practice, the total number would be six hundred and forty years!
This number is truly shocking.

Wuyazi taught Xuzhu martial arts for seventy years, and Xuzhu was already able to laugh at his superiority over other warriors.

Fortunately, Lu Nanxing possesses the Star-Absorbing Art, so there is no need to worry about his skills.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Lu Nanxing's lips.

The world is bustling with people, and they are all his experience packs!
