Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 242 Li Jing's 'Three Wonders', the Evil Emperor's Relics, and the Jingyan Palace!

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandmaster."

Li Jing lowered his head slightly as he saluted, with doubts flashing in his eyes. Although Zhang Kuang had just said good things, he still felt uneasy, especially when he thought about how the other party had killed so many veteran masters with thundering force. He couldn't help but feel dry in his mouth and his uneasiness became more intense.

But Zhang Kuang didn't care what Li Jing thought at this moment. He just looked at Xiao Xuan, who was now curled up on the ground like a shrimp, covering her eyes. As if she had just remembered, she asked, "Is there a woman named Xiao Meiniang in your clan? I heard she's very beautiful. It would be a pity if she was killed by the Yingui Sect."

As soon as Zhang Kuang finished speaking, Zhu Yuyan glanced at him. "What do you mean?" "Didn't you know that Xiao Meiniang was in the Northland and was about to become the Princess of Jin?"
Facts have proved that in terms of being inhuman, although Zhu Yuyan is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, she still has a lot of room for improvement compared to Zhang Kuang.

Li Jing subconsciously looked at Yang Guang. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Xiao Meiniang was the future Princess of Jin?

Yang Guang was a little embarrassed. He had been ignored from the beginning to the end. Now Zhang Kuang took the initiative to mention his future wife. Although he didn't say it explicitly, considering that he was surrounded by beauties, how could she not know his sinister intentions?
However, Yang Guang was absolutely unable to confront Zhang Kuang head-on, so he just said with a gloomy look: "Let the Grand Master know that Xiao is now in Daxing City and will marry me after the army returns to the capital."

"Tsk, what a pity."

Zhang Kuang glanced at Xiao Xuan with disdain, rolled up his sleeves and threw him out as if he were throwing away garbage. Then he said to Yang Guang, whose face turned purple:
"Yang Jian and I have an agreement. After the north and south are unified, he will promote culture and suppress military power. All martial arts in the world will converge at the Tianshi Dadao Palace. If the royal family members want to learn martial arts, they will also need to enter the Dadao Palace to practice for three years.

Now that much of the southern kingdom is under my control, I have already sent an order for Zhang Lihua to surrender to the northern land. Soon the country will be unified. You can go back and tell Yang Jian that I want Mount Tai to be the site of my Dao Palace, the place where all the martial arts converge and reign supreme."

That's it!

Li Jing instantly understood why Zhang Kuang killed a large number of veteran masters without explanation. It turned out that he was fulfilling his promise to purge the martial arts masters in order to make it easier for martial artists from all over the world to enter the Taoist palace!
Yang Jian unified the world, and the Taoist Palace unified the world!
But if that were the case, then Yang Guang, the Prince of Jin, leading the army into battle would have become a complete joke - he was full of high spirits when he went to the battle, but after winning a few battles with Gao Jiong, he felt that he could do it too, so he seized power on the battlefield and won the city at the cost of huge casualties, but was stopped outside the city of Xiangyang by Xiao Moke; he wanted to launch a surprise attack, but Xiao Moke anticipated the enemy's moves first, and he was trapped in Shuanggou Town, forced to flee like a stray dog.

Now, after finally making it to the Grand Master, he was struck by a bolt from the blue: all the work had been done by the Grand Master!
In this way, as long as Yang Guang did not act rashly at the beginning, at least half of the credit for the unification of the world would be attributed to him, and at least Gao Jiong and others would not compete with him for the credit.

But now the army was dragged to death in Xiangyang City, and only Kuaiji County was taken in the hinterland, and the rest of the land was the work of the grandmaster - even if someone defeated the enemy, others would say it was all the grandmaster's words, so that the enemy had no intention of resisting.

All the credit goes to the Grand Master!
Not only did Yang Guang work in vain, but he also successfully shattered his own image of being wise and brave.

Alas, why bother!

Li Jing looked at Yang Guang with pity and saw that the other party's expression was indeed not right. Out of friendship for fleeing to Yangzhou together, he gently tugged at Yang Guang's sleeve to prevent him from doing anything wrong at this time.

Yang Guang was good at pretending. Even though he felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife, and even though he was unhappy that Zhang Kuang was calling his father by his name, he quickly adjusted his expression and put on a smile and said:

"Congratulations, Grandmaster, for your unparalleled achievements. My father will certainly not stop you from taking care of the Dao Palace. However, if you were to stay permanently at Mount Tai, I'm afraid not many people would be interested in visiting you.

In my opinion, it would be better for the Grandmaster to choose Zhongnan Mountain. This place is quiet and peaceful, but it is also not far from Daxing City. It is adjacent to the best place in Kyoto and should be admired by all the people in the world. "

Yang Guang was not forcing Zhang Kuang to choose Mount Zhongnan. He was not crazy enough to that extent. He was sincerely talking about the pros and cons. After all, if Zhang Kuang chose Mount Tai, the imperial power would inevitably be challenged, and no matter how generous Yang Jian was, he would not agree.

What's more, if Zhang Kuang went to Mount Tai, even if he wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would probably be out of reach. It would be more convenient to stay in Mount Zhongnan.

Zhang Kuang frowned.

But Zhu Yuyan's eyes turned, and a smile appeared on her face. "Zhongnan Mountain is indeed good. Many martial arts sects are located there. It is also close to Daxing City, so it is convenient to mobilize manpower and resources."

The base camp of Cihang Jingzhai, Dita Peak, is a branch of Zhongnan Mountain. If a Taoist temple is built in Zhongnan Mountain, it will be tantamount to uprooting Cihang Jingzhai. At that time, the nuns will only have two choices: to be displaced after losing their ancestral foundation or to rely on the Taoist temple to protect their ancestral foundation.

No matter which one, it would be a huge blow to Cihang Jingzhai, so Zhu Yuyan would of course strongly recommend it.

Zhang Kuang also knew what Zhu Yuyan was thinking, but the reason she chose Mount Tai was simply because Mount Tai was famous. Seeing that there was a better choice, he naturally did not object.

It doesn’t matter where you sleep!

"In that case, let's go to Zhongnan Mountain."

Zhang Kuang's words made Yang Guang feel relieved. Even though he knew that Zhang Kuang could not help him ascend the throne, he was not completely helpless.

He still remembered Zhang Kuang's "boastful words" when he first met him: as long as the price was high enough, he would even kill the Jade Emperor!

……

……

Half a year has passed by in a flash.

Zhang Kuang has been staying at Pegasus Ranch for the past six months, arranging flowers and playing with jade all day long. At the same time, whenever his thirty-six orifices are filled with true energy, he will use it to infuse the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra. Now the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra has reached the twelfth level, and is only one step away from the thirteenth level.

Correspondingly, Zhang Kuang's physical body has become strong to a certain level. He can easily send out visible air waves with just two fingers, and can even send out several circles of Mach rings with one punch.

This punch doesn't require any true energy, it relies entirely on arm strength and power!

Now that the Sui Dynasty has been completely unified, Yang Guang has not had any ambitions in the past six months, nor has he returned to the north. Instead, he stayed at Pegasus Ranch with Li Jing to study martial arts.

Yang Guang: I can't inherit the throne if I go back, so I'd better build a good relationship with the Grand Master. If I can master the martial arts, I won't be in such a miserable state in times of crisis.

Zhang Kuang has always been generous to talented people. When Li Jing asked for advice, he directly passed on the "Wisdom Sutra of the Origin of Controlling All Things". Seeing that Yang Guang was begging for advice, he also gave him a copy.

The two of them are now quite effective.

Li Jing was seen standing proudly on the top of East Mountain, with a restrained look. The mountain wind was blowing and fluttering his robes. He let out a long roar and shouted into the air. A visible green tornado climbed up his legs and enveloped him below the knees like a whirlwind, lifting him into the air. His figure floated as if blending into the mountain wind, and there were bursts of sound of breaking air. He moved with the wind, but he defeated the mountain wind and used it for his own benefit. He was as swift as the messenger of wind.

Wind God Leg!
The next moment, murderous intent gathered around Li Jing like clouds, his hands turned into claws like palms, and as he waved his hands, the clouds in the sky fell between his palms like two ribbons, draped over his upper body like a cloak, and dyed scarlet with murderous intent. As he slapped his palms, the clouds surged, and his figure moved up and down unsteadily. He used the power of his palms to carve a dragon shadow on the opposite mountain wall, and the long dragon looked lifelike.

Cloud Expelling Palm!
When landing, wind and clouds gathered in his palms, which were gathered by Li Jing's clenched fists. The gathering of wind and clouds brought an extremely cold air, and his fists were covered with ice armor. They crossed and hit the opposite mountain peak. The whole mountain wall instantly fell into winter and was covered with a layer of ice crystals.

Frost Fist!
This is the special ability Li Jing obtained from the Wisdom Sutra of the Source of All Things - water. Under the guidance of Zhang Kuang, he developed the three states of water: solid, liquid and gas, and applied them to boxing, palm techniques and leg techniques respectively. He was also named by Zhang Kuang himself and was awarded the title of "Grandmaster" at a young age.

Known as the master of "Three Wonders"!
Although Yang Guang's martial arts skills are only mediocre and he has not yet broken through to the innate level, what he gained from the "Wisdom Sutra of Controlling All Things" is the supernatural power of "eyes", which complements his double pupils and adds a bit of majesty to him.

Seeing Li Jing's rapid progress, Yang Guang felt a pang of jealousy, but he consoled himself, "I just missed the best time to train, and I haven't used any natural resources to nourish myself in the past six months. When I become the emperor...and the crown prince, I will surely be able to break through to the Xiantian realm!"

Li Jing took the air into his abdomen, and then the air surged up, spewing out like a long dragon of white steam, shaking the forest. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

Yang Guang stepped forward and said, "Pharmacist, you've made progress in just a few days. I'm so envious!"

Pharmacist, Li Jing's courtesy name, was originally supposed to be given by his elders. However, when Li Jing was officially named Grandmaster, he asked Zhang Kuang to give him a courtesy name. Zhang Kuang was too lazy to think about it and simply gave him the courtesy name in the official history.

Li Jing's expression of joy faded upon hearing this, and he said reservedly, "It's just a little bit of something I've gained, but it's still far behind those two."

One is Bi Xiuxin, the contemporary walking master of Cihang Jingzhai. For some unknown reason, he has been training martial arts again, and it seems that the martial arts he is practicing do not seem to be Buddhist martial arts. His strength can be said to be changing day by day. He has already been named a master, and it is said that he has secretly competed with the "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan many times.

Unfortunately, Li Jing and Yang Guang had never seen the two fight. They only heard from the colorful maid that Bi Xiuxin could now hold on for an hour in Zhu Yuyan's hands.

The other one is naturally Shang Qingya, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, who also recently obtained the title of Grandmaster - known as "Pegasus".

Yang Guang's mouth twitched, his words full of sourness, "Anyone dares to compete, why don't you compete with the Grandmaster?"

Li Jing glanced at Yang Guang with resentment in his eyes, "Your Highness Prince Jin, you are going too far. How can a pharmacist be compared with a grandmaster?"

"That's not what you said before!"

"I'm just young and ignorant."

Although only half a year had passed, Li Jing's tone sounded as if several decades had passed. Although he had not grown much older, he no longer had the lofty ambitions that he once had.

He used to be ambitious and thought that he was talented and might be able to discuss philosophy with the grandmaster in the future.

Until one day he saw the Grandmaster shatter half of a mountain with his physical strength without using any Qi, and he realized that the value of the title of "Grandmaster" was still increasing.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this," Yang Guang said cheerfully, "Now that the pacification efforts in various places have come to an end, and the Tianshi Dadao Palace has been completed, the Grand Master and I should be returning together. What are your plans for the future, Pharmacist?"

Yang Guang did not play his due role in the battle to destroy Chen and did not get enough credit, so he was appointed by Yang Jian to pacify various parts of Southern Chen. He was given a new title to gain credit, but in fact, he was mostly asked to stay with Zhang Kuang. Whenever Zhang Kuang wanted to go back, he would be considered to have been pacified.

The colorful maids had packed up their things recently. Yang Guang naturally knew that Zhang Kuang was going back, so he simply confronted Li Jing. He really wanted to recruit Li Jing!
Although Li Jing hadn't changed his opinion of Yang Guang over the past six months—he wasn't a wise leader—it was impossible to say they had no friendship at all. Therefore, he didn't openly express any hurt feelings. He simply sighed, "Going north, Bi Xuan, the 'Martial Master' of the grasslands, actually dared to call himself a Grandmaster. I'm thinking of going through Yanmen Pass to see what gives him the confidence to make such a bold statement!"

Yang Guang understood the meaning of the words, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and said, "It's true that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. 'Martial Master' Bi Xuan, with the support of DTZ, calling himself a Grandmaster can still make many masters hesitate. But Goguryeo's Fu Cailin actually dares to call himself a Grandmaster. It's hard not to be a little ignorant."

The implication was that the grassland was too dangerous, so Li Jing should go to Goguryeo.

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Song Que is over there."

They are not the only ones who have been coming to Pegasus Ranch in the past six months. There are also a group of people from the martial arts world, among whom "Tian Dao" Song Que is the most outstanding.

However, this person was obsessed with swordsmanship, and even when Zhang Kuang wanted to give him the "Wisdom Sutra of the Origin of Controlling All Things", he refused.

Yang Guang still remembered what Song Que said at that time: "I am sincere in swordsmanship and I am the best in swordsmanship. Although this secret method is good, it is useless in swordsmanship and there is no need to practice it." At that time, he just thought that he was too arrogant.

Later, after Song Que killed Li Jing with three swords, Yang Guang realized that this man was really capable!

The mouth is as poisonous as the knife——

When Yang Guang went to recruit Song Que, Song Que said nonchalantly, "A bastard like you from the Hu and Yi tribes, are you worthy of being served by Song Que?"

Yang Guang was so angry that he almost fought with Song Que!
But because the opponent's knife was too sharp, he chose to swallow his anger and whipped the opponent under a small tree when no one was around.

Therefore, upon hearing the news about Song Que again, Yang Guang snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "He really knows how to pick on the weak!"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Fu Cailin claimed to be leaving early, but by the time I wanted to leave, it was already late, so I simply didn't go."

What he meant was that he firmly believed that Fu Cailin was no match for Song Que.

After all, what kind of talents can a small country or barbaric land produce?
As the two were chatting, a black horse ran into the pasture, and then a figure on it took off into the air, with a scarlet skirt fluttering like a fairy, drawing a red line in the air and heading straight into the northwest bunker.

"There are still experts?!"

Li Jing's pupils shrank, but unfortunately the northwest mountains were a forbidden area. He could only watch and sigh, feeling that the heroes in the world were as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

……

……

The red-clothed figure swept into the bunker and went straight to the green and quiet garden in the back mountain. No one stopped him along the way, and no one dared to stop him.

"The Evil Concubine" Zhang Lihua!

Zhang Lihua's figure was as fast as a meteor. Before she could leave any trace in the eyes of the maids in colorful clothes, she had already flashed in front of them, passing by like the wind.

The colorful maids were used to it. This girl was always impetuous and as aloof as Zhu Yuyan. She had never chatted and laughed with them like Bi Xiuxin did and built a good relationship with them.

But it doesn’t matter, they are just maids and there is no need to compete for favor.

When Zhang Lihua entered the room, she saw that Zhu Yuyan, Bi Xiuxin and Shang Qingya were all there, but the most important person was missing.

"He's not in now?"

Zhang Lihua's tone was a little surprised, which was much rarer.

Shang Qingya said calmly, "He found the tomb left by Lu Miaozi in the back mountain. He said he was going to get something from it and would be back soon."

Lu Miaozi is indeed the best craftsman in the world. She secretly built her own mausoleum in Pegasus Ranch using various mechanical devices. Even she didn't notice it, so it took Zhang Kuang half a year to find this secret place.

Zhang Lihua frowned and snorted, "What treasure could Lu Miaozi have that would warrant the master staying here for half a year?"

Shang Qingya's lips curled into a smile, her lips red and her teeth white, her smile as beautiful as a blooming flower: "Is it possible that the master has been in the land of gentleness for the past six months, and occasionally looks for it?"

Zhang Lihua nodded and smiled, "That's the truth."

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Zhang Kuang strode over, his face full of joy. He was even happier when he saw Zhang Lihua. "Could it be that you found the secret of immortality?"

"The Secret of Immortality has been circulating in the martial arts world for many years. Those who know its value have kept it well hidden, while those who don't have it discarded it like a worn-out shoe. How could it be so easy to find?" Zhang Lihua denied it, but she still had a smile on her face, and a hint of laughter flickered in her eyes. "Why don't you guess why I'm so happy?"

Zhang Kuang walked up to Zhang Lihua and hugged her, pretending to be in deep thought, but actually he reached out to touch his heart. Seeing that she was unmoved, he reached out to tickle her armpits, and in a few seconds, Zhang Lihua was blushing and giggling.

"Don't be itchy, don't be itchy, I'll tell you what I want to say." Zhang Lihua didn't mean to keep it in suspense, but Zhang Kuang was not satisfied with taking advantage of her, so she wanted to tease him, but she ended up suffering the loss.

But she was used to it. She turned over and jumped into Zhang Kuang's arms, clamped his waist, and put her arms around his neck before saying, "Although I didn't find the whereabouts of the Changsheng Jue, I found Jingyan Palace!"

Jingyan Palace!
Zhang Kuang's face was full of joy: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhang Lihua smiled charmingly, and condescendingly put her red lips close to his. Before she could stop him, she said with a smile, "After all, I'm a weak woman, how could I dare to lie to you?"

Jingyan Palace, Temple of the God of War!
Contained within it are forty-nine illustrations that record all the principles of martial arts in the world, called the War God Atlas, which record the secret of the highest realm of martial arts, "Breaking the Void".

But this is not the place that Zhang Kuang values ​​most. The most important thing is that there are the "Broken Diamond" level corpses left by Guangchengzi!

"Although my physical strength has greatly increased, in terms of toughness, I can never compare to Guang Chengzi who broke the diamond. It's just right to open another furnace!"

Zhang Kuang's eyes were bright. He put his arm around Zhang Lihua's waist and spun her around in the air. After playing around for a while, he asked, "What do you want?"

Zhang Lihua's eyes were charming, without the slightest bit of the domineering attitude she displayed in front of outsiders. Instead, she was gentle and affectionate. She held Zhang Kuang's face with both hands and said in a delicate voice, "My slave is like this, and Master still doesn't know what I want?"

"Please whip me as much as you want~~"

"Okay, I'll satisfy you!"

……

……

One night fish and dragon dance.

As the day cleared, Zhang Lihua leaned against Zhang Kuang's chest. She pressed an orange-yellow crystal against his chest with her finger and gently fiddled with it with her middle finger. After examining it thoroughly, she couldn't see what was so magical about it. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this really the Evil Emperor's relic?"

"It's genuine," Zhang Kuang did not touch the essence injected into it by successive evil emperors before their death, but considering that Xiang Yutian had lived for so long, there probably wasn't much left in it.

He looked down upon it.

Zhang Lihua was a bit greedy, but unfortunately this thing didn't seem to have any benefits. Instead of spending so much effort to get the energy inside, it would be better to get some benefits from Zhang Kuang.

"It's morning now, let's do some morning exercises to wake up." Zhang Lihua applied for a sparring match, and then she was held up. The evil emperor's relic in her hand was engulfed in a ball of flame and disappeared.

"Just to my liking."

By the time we finally set off, it was almost noon.

"How many people know about Jingyan Palace?" Zhang Kuang sat in the Seven Fragrance Carriage, looking at the beautiful girls surrounding him, and he was in a very good mood.

Zhang Lihua fiddled with her hair boredly as she lay lazily on the couch, her long legs straight and her bare feet painted with crimson cardamom, revealing her allure. Her eyes were lightly closed, and her eyelashes trembled at the words. She said, "The news has spread. After all, I don't know if there's any danger down there, so naturally we need some people to scout the way."

"It's a bit excessive to forcibly arrest civilians, but if someone goes in voluntarily, it won't be the slaves' business."

"Well done." Zhang Kuang praised and turned his attention to the furnace again.

……

[Heavenly Demon Secret] + [Evil Emperor's Relics + Demon Sect Master...] = Treasure Box·Fair (Yuan Shi took a box from his sleeve, opened the lid and threw it into the air: Bi Xiao and his horse were placed in the box, and soon they turned into blood.)
Duration: Four years and three months
……

[Cihang Sword Canon] + [Buddhist Master...] = Wu Gou Sword

【Wu Gou Sword】: Can be used to attack. The flying sword can be rubbed in the air with the hand to chop off the opponent's head, making the opponent's head fall to the ground.
Duration: Seven years and four months
……

Although the Wu Gou Sword is the magic weapon that protects the cave of Puxian Zhenren, it is not top-notch and has not achieved any outstanding results in the few times it has appeared.

But this is a flying sword!

The key is only seven years and four months...

Zhang Kuang suddenly asked, "How many sword masters are there in the world?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Zhang Lihua was slightly startled. Then she said with a half-smile, "If we talk about the leader of swordsmanship, it's naturally Cihang Jingzhai..."

Bi Xiuxin quickly interrupted, "There are countless swordsmen in the world. If we talk about the most famous ones, it should be Fu Cailin, the master of Goguryeo chess and swordsmanship, and the Biluo swordsmanship of the Dugu clan. Apart from them, most of them died at Pegasus Ranch."

The purge launched by Zhang Kuang half a year ago was a bit too brutal. The martial arts world is now weak and even the old masters dare not go out.

Even if they could be attracted to Jingyan Palace, considering that Zhang Kuang is there, I'm afraid there won't be many people left.

"Is that so? Then let's wait."
