I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 223: Divine Power: So Close Yet So Far Away! (asking for monthly pass)

Lin Xueru and others did not know the reason for the strange phenomenon outside Chunhe Garden.

Even when Gu Tiangang used the art of observing qi, he could only see the changes in the sword intent shrouding the outside of the garden.

They could only guess that Chen Yi had gained some insights and was deducing his magical powers in the way of the sword.

"Brother Yi's cultivation has improved again."

The expression on Lin Xueru's face was inexplicably depressed. She was happy for Chen Yi's improvement in cultivation, but she also felt a little disappointed.

Although she had known long ago that it would be difficult to catch up with Chen Yi's cultivation level, the gap between them had been growing larger and larger over time, which also made her feel anxious.

Lin Xueru was not worried that Chen Yi would distance himself from her because of this. What she was worried about was that she would not be able to always stand by Chen Yi's side.

The flower fairy understood the meaning of the little girl's words, hesitated and held her hand, and comforted her:
"Senior Sister, your cultivation level has improved very quickly."

These words are not false.

Among the several geniuses from Taixu Dao Sect who came to Kyoto Prefecture to participate in the event, except for Chen Yi, the person with the highest level of skills and techniques was Lin Xueru, who had already become a great cultivator of the third-grade Tianhe realm.

Moreover, the little girl's Eight Methods of Taixu have surpassed Xiao Xuanzhen, and she has cultivated two of them to the Tongming realm.

Compared to her, the flower fairy was the most lost.

Fortunately, her talent is not in fighting, but she is good at alchemy. She only needs to do her job well and she can stay behind Chen Yi with peace of mind.

Otherwise, perhaps she would be worried and anxious now.

Lin Xueru turned her head to look at her, smiling slightly as she said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Hua."

As she spoke, she leaned naturally against the flower fairy, with some complicated thoughts in her mind.

Xiao Xuanzhen heard the conversation between the two women and couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
"Junior Brother Chen Yi is a monster. I would find it strange if he stopped improving his cultivation one day."

"But you two shouldn't worry too much. With our cultivation, even if we can't keep up with Junior Brother's realm, the gap won't be too big. At least we can follow him wherever he goes, right?"

Xiao Xuanzhen had long given up hope of being able to compare with Chen Yi.

After all, she had tried it many times when she was in Taixu Taoist Sect.

The ending... is quite tragic!

Hua Youxiang opened her mouth and said gloomily, "Three senior sisters, I beg you to leave some room for me, a person of ordinary talent, to survive, okay?"

In comparison, she is the weakest and most pitiful person.

You must know that Lin Xueru, Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen are talented enough to go to Taizhou Mountain and fight alongside Chen Yi.

Only she, Erhua - wants to stay in Tianyuan Continent and do justice!
"..."

Lin Xueru and the other two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

The bell-like laughter made Gu Tiangang and Cao Abao look emotional, and they couldn't help but sigh that it was great to be young.

"Brother Gu, I often feel regretful. I regret not listening to Master's teachings and not working hard enough when I was young. Otherwise, with my talent, I might be able to go to Mount Taizhou..."

"..."

Gu Tiangang glared at him and muttered that he was talking about something irrelevant.

If we talk about regrets, he is the one who regrets the most!

After all, his talent was almost the same as Xiao Huang's, but because of his naughtiness at a young age, his cultivation progress was too slow and he missed the opportunity to go to Taizhou Mountain... What a regret!
Li Qingzhou stood in the dark clouds above Chunhe Garden, silently listening to the voices of Lin Xueru and others below, his eyes calmly gazing at the Tongtian Sword Intent in front of him.

He also sensed Chen Yi's murderous intent, and saw it more carefully than Gu Tiangang.

"Yier, is this some kind of secret place for cultivation?"

Li Qingzhou looked straight down, along the silver-white sword pillar, all the way down to Chunhe Garden.

He saw Chen Yi sitting cross-legged, and also saw the sword light flashing beside him from time to time, and even faintly saw a hint of dark green mixed in the silver-white.

If I am not mistaken, it should be the trace of some kind of body training.

"Shenfa..."

Li Qingzhou thought for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.

If sword cultivators do not make progress in their practice, they will regress. However, when they reach the point where they can no longer make progress, they will choose to practice other techniques, among which body movements are the most suitable.

After all, the sword of a sword cultivator is the most sharp and lethal technique in the world, and is as famous as the knife, spear and stick.

If it is supplemented with appropriate body movements and cultivated to a certain level, the power that a sword cultivator can display will be even more terrifying.

Li Qingzhou once saw a sword cultivator with both sword skills and body skills on Mount Taizhou. His killing power was unmatched in the same realm.

Even when fighting against demons, he can exert power far beyond that of other powerful beings. Few demons of the same level dare to face him alone.

Thinking of this.

Li Qingzhou sighed suddenly, "With my disciple at this point, as a master, I can't fall too far behind."

Even though he had a premonition before, now seeing Chen Yi working so hard, he, the head of Jianfeng Mountain, felt a little touched.

I'm afraid that in the near future, he will be overtaken by Chen Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, you came all the way here as well?"

At this time, a gentle voice sounded from beside him. Li Qingzhou looked over and his smile faded. He bowed calmly and said:

"Mr. Big, long time no see."

The visitor was none other than Lin Zhongke, a great scholar from Kyoto Academy.

He looked at the pillar that stretched from Chunhe Garden to the sky, smiled and said:

"I am really envious of your Taixu Dao Sect. With such a disciple appearing out of nowhere, your Taixu Dao Sect will be worry-free for a hundred years."

“If he goes one step further, perhaps he can be like those ancestors and preserve the inheritance for a thousand years.”

Li Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Yier's improvement in cultivation is not only a blessing for the sect, but also a blessing for our race."

The master was speechless. Seeing his expression, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, it seems that you have a lot of complaints against me."

Li Qingzhou shook his head: "No."

The great master Lin Zhongke paused, stopped looking at him, and his eyes fell directly on Chunhe Garden below.

"I know that it's not just you. There are many people on Mount Taizhou who have complaints against me."

Li Qingzhou glanced at him and said, "With your cultivation level, you really shouldn't stay in Tianyuan Continent forever."

In fact, what the gentleman said just now is correct.

Except for a few old ancestors on Taizhou Mountain, people from other sects were somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Not only because the master's cultivation had long surpassed everyone else in the Tianyuan Continent, but also because his Confucianism and Taoism were the same techniques as Buddhism in restraining demons.

If he could appear on Mount Taizhou, the pressure on the human race’s various fortresses would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, with the talent that the Great Master had shown in the past, once he went to Taizhou Mountain, he might be able to become one of the ancestors at a very fast speed.

However, such an outstanding person has been staying in Tianyuan Continent. Not only Li Qingzhou and others don't understand why, but even Mr. San from Kyoto Academy can't figure it out.

"..."

The elder master sighed and said, "I came here specially because I have something to tell you."

Li Qingzhou nodded slightly and said without comment: "Master, just speak directly if you have anything to say."

A moment of silence.

The Master slowly said, "More than two hundred years ago, I wanted to go to Mount Taizhou, and I had made all the preparations at that time."

"But at that time, the Dakong Temple was born, and the royal family of the Wei Dynasty had some connection with the Western Buddhist Kingdom..."

Li Qingzhou listened to his story calmly, but his brows began to frown.

"Master, what you mean is that the Buddhist sect's migration to the East is being manipulated by someone with ulterior motives?"

Lin Zhongke nodded and said, "It was because of this discovery that I discussed with you and decided to stay in Tianyuan Continent and Kyoto Prefecture."

"Those people hid themselves very well. On the one hand, they introduced Buddhism to the East, and on the other hand, they suppressed Confucianism and Taoism."

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, with your knowledge you should have noticed that in today's Tianyuan Continent, the influence of Confucianism and Taoism is almost limited to the territory of the Wei Dynasty!"

Li Qingzhou thought about it for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "As Master said, the various sects of our Taoism are almost only active in the Wei Dynasty. Some..."

"Some sects are even limited to one prefecture, and apart from cultivation, they rarely take care of other things."

"Even if the court summons us for something, only the disciples will go down the mountain."

This is not only true for the Taixu Taoist Sect, but also for most Taoist holy places such as Wuliang Mountain, Yuhua Xianmen, and Yushan School.

Because of Mount Taizhou, the Taoists with outstanding talents in the sect hardly dare to neglect their studies before the age of thirty.

After the age of thirty, because he was used to living a secluded life, he was too lazy to care about worldly affairs.

Over time, Taoism rarely took the initiative to show its influence in the court or in the martial arts world.

There are several holy places of Confucian learning, and most of the students choose to become officials, and they are quite prestigious in the court and various provincial governments.

Buddhism emphasizes doing good deeds and saving the world. In addition to chanting scriptures and ringing bells, they often go down the mountain to travel and save all living beings with Buddhist teachings.

In this regard, the Taoist sects are far inferior to Confucianism and Buddhism.

If it is not necessary, almost no Taoists would go down the mountain to walk.

The great master Lin Zhongke looked a little more serious and said, "Since the birth of Dakong Temple, Buddhism has become more and more powerful in the Wei Dynasty."

"After much investigation, I found that in addition to the support of the Western Buddhist Kingdom, they also have the cooperation of people in the Wei Dynasty."

"But after careful investigation, we found that those people were just mayflies floating on the water, and there were others beneath the water!"

Li Qingzhou understood the intention of his words, but was still a little confused.

"Master, you have stayed in Tianyuan Continent for so long, but you have never discovered the person behind it?"

"There are only some clues, but we haven't been able to find their roots yet."

The great master shook his head and said, "Those in the Buddhist sect may seem to be walking all the time, and they may look glorious and have traces on the surface, but in fact, there are things that they keep secret from the outside world."

"Just like the Dakong Temple, even though I am in Kyoto Prefecture, there are still many things I cannot see clearly."

"Dakong Temple..." Li Qingzhou's expression changed, and he turned to look at the golden Buddha temple in the distance and said:
"Can't you even see through it, Mr. Da?"

The great master nodded and said, "Let's not talk about other monks. What I can't understand the most is their Buddhist disciples."

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, do you know when the last 'Dakong Buddhist Son' appeared?"

Li Qingzhou recalled for a moment and said, "Was it one hundred and fifty years ago? It is said that he is the grandson of the first abbot of Dakong Temple."

The great master also looked towards the Dakong Temple and said, "That's right! The brother of the Emperor Wei, Wei Ling, went west to the Buddhist country. After returning, he became a monk and took the Buddhist name 'Xuankong'. He then built the Dakong Temple!"

"His grandson Wei You also became a monk at Dakong Temple at that time and was called 'Dakong Buddhist Son' and his Buddhist name was 'Jingming'."

"For the next thirty years, he traveled to various prefectures in the Wei Dynasty, building various Buddhist temples and monasteries based on his origins, until he was surrounded and killed by evil spirits."

The great master paused, and also looked towards the Dakong Temple, "Then there was the Buddhist disciple from a hundred years ago."

"He almost single-handedly competed with the geniuses of Confucianism and Taoism. Not only was his Buddhist teachings profound, his Buddhist skills were also unique, overwhelming his peers."

"Afterwards, he went to Mount Taizhou, where...Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, do you know what he did?"

Li Qingzhou took over his words and responded:

"On Mount Taizhou, the Buddhist disciple Dakong, whose Dharma name was 'Konghen', killed two pillars of the Demon Court. In the end, he was surrounded and killed by the four pillars of the Demon Court."

"I also heard that he once went to the Netherworld alone. It is said that he went even deeper and found the legendary 'other shore'."

The master nodded slightly, sighed, and added:
"Master Konghen is also the senior brother of the current abbot of Dakong Temple, Master Kongjing. The two of them have been eating and sleeping together in the temple for many years."

"Two Buddhist disciples have successively expanded the power of Buddhism in the Wei Dynasty. It is hard not to be suspicious." "Now that the third 'Dakong Buddhist Disciple' has been born, I think he must have some purpose as well."

Li Qingzhou did not respond. His eyes were shining with golden light as he looked towards Dakong Temple, as if he wanted to see through several Buddhist temples and see inside.

However, even with his current sword skills, it was still difficult for him to see through everything inside. He could only see the shape of the mountain where the Dakong Temple was located, and vaguely saw a reclining Buddha with a peaceful smile.

"The reclining Buddha... how can anyone sleep soundly beside the bed... this Dakong Temple is indeed extraordinary."

If the great master had not spoken, Li Qingzhou would not have truly examined Buddhism, let alone paid attention to Dakong Temple and Dakong Buddhist disciples.

Listening to it now, he had a deeper understanding of the great master's presence in Tianyuan Continent for hundreds of years.

"What are you going to do, sir?"

"Everything is subject to fate," the master shook his head, but a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Your disciple is the will of heaven!"

"Yier?"

Li Qingzhou retracted his gaze and looked down at Chunhe Garden, and suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

No wonder his disciple, who he thought was very low-key and cautious, behaved in an extraordinary and high-profile manner after returning to Kyoto Prefecture.

It turns out that the root of everything is related to the imperial court and the Kyoto Academy.

Mr. Da smiled and said, "Chen Yi is the most suitable candidate."

"Regardless of his origin, talent, cultivation, or character, he is an existence that cannot be ignored by the Buddhist sects and even the various sects in Tianyuan Continent."

"I came here this time in the hope that Junior Brother Qingzhou can forgive me... I and the Wei Dynasty royal family have been waiting for hundreds of years."

"If we miss this opportunity again, I'm afraid we won't have another chance to catch those people."

Li Qingzhou thought for a moment and nodded, "Master, there is no need to say more. Since Yi'er has agreed, I will also support it."

"If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to ask, sir."

He is not a pedantic person. After fighting in Taizhou Mountain for a hundred years, his thoughts have long gone beyond himself and the sect, and are focused on the eternal foundation of the human race.

If someone really wanted to secretly destroy the Wei Dynasty and harm the human race, he would never stand idly by.

"With Daoist Fellow Qingzhou's words, I feel relieved."

The great master smiled and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked towards the Kyoto Academy not far away, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Evil disciple, how dare you?!"

Without saying much, he bowed to Li Qingzhou and left.

Li Qingzhou showed a puzzled look on his face, and his sword intent followed into the Kyoto Academy. After seeing clearly what was happening inside the building with the plaque "Library", he couldn't help but frown.

It was because in a secret place in the holy land of Confucianism, a handsome young man was intertwined with three female Confucian scholars...

"Brother Wang Yang, please spare me~"

"No, no..."

"Hey, hurry up~ hurry up~"

Moreover, he could also see that the three women did so voluntarily and were not coerced.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhou shook his head and said, "With such a disciple, the master may lose his integrity in his later years."

Li Qingzhou could see that the Confucian scholar named Wang Yang was a disciple of the great master, but he didn't know why he was so absurd.

How dare he do this in front of several female Confucian scholars in Kyoto Academy?

Well... Fortunately, Yi'er has a simple mind...

……

Li Qingzhou was right, Chen Yi was still too naive.

——He really didn't expect Guangmu to be so shameless!
After he faced a hundred fifth-grade Baodan-level wind wolves in the seventh-grade Guiyuan realm, and after he cultivated Zhichi Tianya to the minor success realm, he saw several lines of golden characters appear, and his three views were refreshed again.

[Congratulations, you have completed the minor success stage of the "A World Away" body movement training! ]

[Start practicing the Great Accomplishment of the "A World Away" Body Skill - you need to avoid being surrounded and attacked by a hundred third-grade Tianhe Wind Wolves. Please hold on for one hour!]

[Your cultivation has been raised to the fifth level of Baodan realm! ]

This time, Chen Yi thoroughly understood what it felt like for an ordinary fifth-grade cultivator to face a third-grade Tianhe realm cultivator.

Damn it, that's like having the word "卒" written all over the sky!
You must know that after demons and martial arts practitioners reach the third-grade Tianhe realm, they will be able to control the power of heaven and earth.

The consequence of this was that before the hundred third-grade Tianhe realm wind wolves could make a single move, the might of heaven and earth pressed down upon them.

Not to mention dodging, Chen Yi even had trouble moving a finger!

One can imagine the days that followed, as he had to expend a large amount of true energy to resist the oppression of the power of heaven and earth, and at the same time he had to divide his attention to avoid being pounced upon by the wolf demon.

How can one word "卒" describe it?

The tragedy of his death was far more tragic than the two previous experiences of cultivation.

After all, it took him two years to start practicing at the entry level, and then five years to complete the practice of body skills at the minor level.

It took Chen Yi a full ten years to reach the state of minor success and major success!
He died countless times during that period, and in the end he was completely numb - death is death!

"Just wait for me!!"

Chen Yi had a ferocious look on his face. Although his clothes, appearance and hairstyle were not messy, the expression on his face showed that he wanted to kill all the wolf monsters.

However he tried, attacks were useless against these wolf-demons.

He could only dodge the attacks of the wolf monsters one by one and hold on as long as possible through his practice at a very close distance.

After ten years of dodging, he has been able to avoid all attacks from the wolf demons with minimal consumption of true energy.

Even with their mighty power of heaven and earth, Chen Yi could handle it with ease, until -

[Congratulations, you have completed the great perfection of the Close and Far Away Body Skills! ]

[Start practicing the Ming Realm Body Skills in the Near and Far Realm - you need to avoid being attacked by hundreds of first-grade Void Realm Wolf Demons. Please hold on for one hour!]

[Your cultivation has been raised to the third level of Tianhe realm! ]

Chen Yi didn't have time to catch his breath. After seeing several lines of words appear, his mind was greatly shocked.

Damn...

A wolf demon of the first rank, he can actually fly...

What a beast! !

"puff."

Unable to bear this blow, Chen Yi sat down on the ground with a dull face and unable to get up.

It was about ten days, during which time more than ten thousand people died.

After another death, Chen Yi sighed, patted his butt, stood up, looked up at the ferocious wolf demons flying in the sky, and said:
"Brother Wolf, thanks to you, there will never be another wolf demon appearing in Tianyuan Continent!!"

The wolf demons didn't care about him. The wolf demons that could speak roared and said sarcastically:
"Little sword cultivator, it is your honor to die in my mouth!"

"it is good……"

Before he could finish his words, Chen Yi had no time to move as he was frozen by the pressure of heaven and earth, and then attacked by the wolf demon's soul. Then he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

He had already entered the wolf demon's mouth without even a complete sentence.

"Weak human, your body is not even strong enough for me to eat."

"it is good……"

This time it was even faster, so much so that before the previous "卒" character disappeared, a second "卒" appeared.

"Quick, get into my mouth and you'll die more easily."

"Good good..."

Chen Yi laughed out of anger, and faced the siege of the wolf demons with a smile on his face the whole time.

Unconsciously, his movements became more and more strange and unpredictable. He would often take a step forward, but his body would suddenly retreat.

When dodging left and right, a series of afterimages flashed.

Moreover, Chen Yi also learned to use the power of heaven and earth to create phantom clones in order to confuse the wolf demon's attacks and give him more breathing time.

This time, it took him a full hundred years to hold out for an hour against the siege of the wolf demons.

[Congratulations, you have completed the cultivation of the Ming realm of the Zhichi Tianya body method! ]

[Start practicing the divine power realm of the world's distance - you need to avoid being attacked by a hundred great demon kings in the heavenly realm. Please hold on for one hour!]

[Your cultivation has been raised to the first level of the Void Realm, your swordsmanship has unlocked the Great Perfection Realm, and your sword intent is complete! ]

"..."

Chen Yi looked at the big golden characters in the sky, then looked down at the Chunyu Sword (Victim No. 2) in his hand, and the smile on his face became brighter.

There are only hundreds of great demon kings whose cultivation has reached the celestial realm and whose blood magic has broken through the supernatural realm - get down on your feet!

"Pawn!"

"Pawn!"

"Pawn!"

"..."

The light curtain seemed to sense that the wolf monsters could not bring pressure to Chen Yi. In the final training, the Hundred-Headed Demon King included not only wolf monsters, but also bird monsters, tree monsters, dragons and other flying beasts, mountains, rivers and seas.

All kinds of demons and magical powers complemented each other, spanning the sky, and together they bullied him, a poor first-grade swordsman.

The sword art has only been unlocked to the great perfection realm, and the sword intent is perfect. With such a little power, it can't even cut the hair of the great demon king... What can it do? !

However, after such a long period of physical training, Chen Yi had already greeted the ancestors of the demons, so he had nothing to say.

Isn’t it just a hundred-headed demon king in the realm of supernatural powers? Damn!

The fact is, after Chen Yi was able to use a certain level of sword skills, he began to apply the "A World Away" body technique to fighting and dodging.

The fusion of sword steps and the Zhichi Tianya step, coupled with his previous understanding of the monsters' weaknesses, allowed him to still find a glimmer of hope amidst the siege by various magical powers.

But this ray of hope was only for a moment, and if he persisted for an hour, the result would be -

It is just as the ancients said, one glance can last a lifetime.

It took Chen Yi a hundred years to survive the siege of two great demon kings.

It took him a thousand years to defeat the five great demon kings who attacked him one after another.

Ten thousand years...

I don’t know how much time has passed, but Chen Yi has already been able to deal with the siege of the great demon king calmly.

Not only was he able to dodge their attacks, but as his skills improved, he could even penetrate the power of their magical powers with just his skills.

That's right.

Chen Yi did not resist or endure it, but took a step forward, passing through the power of the Great Demon King's magical power as if it were not touched by a leaf.

Until finally, he took a step forward, and his figure appeared thousands of miles away.

From now on, no great demon king can stand beside him anymore!

[Congratulations, you have completed the cultivation of the "A World Away" body movement supernatural power realm...]
