The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Of course, because the Beggars' Sect disciples and Wudang disciples also performed well, and a number of outstanding disciples have risen rapidly in recent years, the Hengshan Sect disciples, mixed in with them, did not stand out much.

It can be said that the ranking list of righteous masters created by Jia Huan has greatly shocked the Five Mountains Sword Sect, which has been in the mainstream of the martial arts world for a hundred years.

Whether they are pillars of the sect or future disciples, they have all been greatly stimulated and will likely be in a period of hard work and diligence for a long time to come.

Jia Huan would certainly be happy to see this happen!

He even hoped there would be as many martial arts masters as possible; otherwise, what was the point of all the trouble? Was it even fun?

The waters of this world are quite deep.

In fact, some righteous masters are much stronger than Yue Buqun and Mo Da, but Jia Huan did not reveal their strength.

Do not doubt that the combined strength of Buddhism and Taoism alone is enough to suppress the arrogant and domineering demonic sect to the point that it can hardly breathe!

Having read the story of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in his previous life, Jia Huan always had a question in his mind, which he found quite perplexing.

It was Linghu Chong who led tens of thousands of unorthodox practitioners to storm Shaolin Temple to rescue Ren Yingying, who had been captured.

Damn, that's tens of thousands of martial artists, even the weakest among them, who are all at the entry-level level in the martial arts world. Just the fact that they've gathered together is quite remarkable.

They are merely peripheral forces of the Demonic Cult!

It is clear that the true strength of the Demonic Sect is far beyond imagination!

It can be said that if the Demonic Sect went all out, neither Shaolin nor Wudang would be able to withstand it and would be destroyed.

But the truth is that the righteous forces have always suppressed the unorthodox sects, led by the demonic sects, to a standstill.

This is an indisputable fact, and it can also be considered the general trend in the martial arts world!

The reason for this situation is that the true strength of the righteous forces is far more than what is shown on the surface.

For example, the abbot of the Putian Southern Shaolin Temple is stronger than Yue Buqun and Mo Da, a fact that Jia Huan has personally verified.

However, the abbot of the Southern Shaolin Temple and several head monks all pleaded with him not to reveal their true strength.

Jia Huan had agreed, and naturally he wouldn't go back on his word.

When visiting the Hengshan Sect, Jia Huan also made a special trip to Wutai Mountain to visit the famous temples there.

As a result, it naturally opened his eyes!

These unassuming temples, which keep a low profile in the martial arts world, all have martial monks, and the best among them are quite skilled.

The most powerful ones even possess top-tier strength!

While a single temple might not have many masters, all the temples combined at that time were only superior to the Songshan Sect.

Without a doubt, the abbot of Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai during the Tianlong era was the same Shenshan Shangren, who was known as the "Dragon-Subduing Arhat".

The equally famous "Tiger-Taming Arhat" was none other than Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple, demonstrating that the temples of Wutai Mountain all possess formidable martial arts lineages, and it is quite normal for masters to emerge if they are carefully nurtured.

However, because many temples on Mount Wutai did not participate in martial arts affairs, the masters in the temples were not well-known in the martial arts world.

This is probably one of the main reasons why there are no powerful martial arts sects in Shanxi besides Buddhist forces.

How many famous Buddhist temples are there throughout the entire Ming Dynasty?

Just think about it, they all have guard monks, their combined strength is so formidable that they already have the power to influence the local situation.

The density of temples, especially in the south, is quite high!

This may be the main reason why there are no powerful martial arts forces in the prosperous Zhejiang, Suzhou, and Nanjing regions.

There, either Buddhist temples or Taoist sects are numerous, leaving no room for other major martial arts forces to survive.

On his way back to Junshan Island from the southeast coast, Jia Huan made a special trip to Longhu Mountain. He didn't intend to challenge the mountain to a duel; he simply wanted to see the mountain's heritage and strength.

As expected, there were martial arts masters from the Taoist sect on Longhu Mountain, whose strength was quite remarkable.

For the same reason, none of them were involved in martial arts affairs, so Jia Huan couldn't include them in the ranking of righteous masters. Otherwise, only the abbot of Shaolin, the leader of Wudang, and Zuo Lengchan would be able to secure the three seats.

As for Feng Qingyang, with his strength, there's no problem for him to firmly hold the top spot.

The fact that the imperial court was able to suppress the martial arts world shows that the number of masters under its control was far beyond imagination.

This is another point of confusion for Jia Huan!

With such formidable power in its hands, why did the imperial court allow barbarians from beyond the Great Wall to seize the country?

The world of martial arts is different from the world of normal history!

It can only be said that Emperor Chongzhen was thoroughly brainwashed by Confucianism!

If it had been Emperor Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao, he would have had a fighting chance, instead of losing so humiliatingly!

The more you know, the more you understand how deep the waters run in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty!

After hearing Jia Huan's account, the gang leader Jie Feng and the deputy gang leader Zhang Jinbie were shocked and also quite taken aback.

They turned around and joined the army of diligent practitioners, not wanting to hold back, and also wanting to set a good example.

Instead of mocking them, Jia Huan provided them with nutritional supplements tailored to their bodies, helping them improve their strength faster and better.

Unlike Jia Huan, these two could only improve their strength quickly by focusing on internal energy cultivation, and Jia Huan could help them just in time.

At the same time, establishing internal energy cultivation records for these two individuals should be helpful for Jia Huan's research into the essence of internal energy.

In fact, he has also conducted in-depth research and achieved considerable results on how to open up the twelve meridians more quickly and effectively.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to go from opening eight meridians to opening all twelve meridians in just over half a year.

In fact, in Jia Huan's view, doing this is not difficult at all; in fact, it can be said to be quite simple.

The so-called "opening up the twelve primary meridians" does not mean opening up the meridians.

In a normal person, all the meridians are generally functioning properly; otherwise, the body may experience deficiencies or even serious problems.

The so-called "opening up the meridians" is actually a way of saying that the body's internal energy slowly permeates the meridians, allowing them to adapt to the operation of internal energy.

The meridians are quite fragile. If they are not strengthened by internal energy, directly circulating internal energy is tantamount to courting death.

Only when the meridians are permeated with internal energy and reach a certain intensity can the internal energy be circulated smoothly.

In other words, if one's internal energy can permeate the twelve meridians and reach a certain level of strength, there is no need to cultivate them one by one; one can directly open up all twelve meridians.

Once you understand the underlying principles, you'll have a clear path to find other ways to accelerate the opening of the twelve meridians.

If Jia Huan's mental strength is strong enough, he will be able to maximize the effect of opening up his meridians with his internal energy!

He strongly suspected that the legendary Taoist masters who could instantly become top martial arts experts after a moment of enlightenment might be doing so for this very reason.

Even without sudden enlightenment, as long as their spiritual power is cultivated to a certain level, they can still achieve such amazing results!

Jia Huan also speculated that the internal and external alchemy methods of the true Taoist tradition may also have this aspect, and it may even be an important one.

He can't do that yet, but he has other methods.

That's right, the Qi and Blood Martial Arts that have been cultivated to the peak level in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber can play a huge role at this time.

When circulating qi and blood, one can absorb strands of internal energy. This internal energy then circulates continuously within the body along with the qi and blood, constantly invading the twelve meridians, thus indirectly opening up the meridians.

Of course, the intricacies of how to circulate qi and blood, and how to make the circulated qi and blood help the internal energy attached to it to achieve its effect, are not simple.

Since Jia Huan was able to figure out the intricacies, how could his progress in internal energy cultivation not be rapid?

Therefore, if he wanted to help the two gang leaders, he was quite confident. For martial arts masters in the world of Laughing at the world, transferring qi and blood was not a difficult task.

Of course, although Jia Huan has researched these things, popularizing them is not an easy task and requires continued efforts.

Jia Huan's ambitions extend far beyond this one event!

Although the ranking of the top ten masters of the righteous path was already sensational and shocking enough, he felt it was far from enough.

Transforming "Wulin Monthly" into a combination of "People's Daily" and a central media outlet, with equal influence and guiding power, is no easy feat.

Six months later, the latest issue of "Martial Arts Monthly" published another bombshell, which was naturally the work of Jia Huan himself.

This time, he personally edited it, specifically to introduce the extraordinary skills and techniques of the martial arts world, so that martial arts practitioners could broaden their horizons.

To show his sincerity, Jia Huan directly mentioned his internal martial arts technique, "Hun Yuan Gong," so that readers who enjoyed reading "Wulin Monthly" could understand his writing style.

In fact, all the readers who saw this issue of "Martial Arts Monthly" were indeed shocked by Jia Huan's generous actions.

For the past six months, the main focus of "Wulin Monthly" has been on the previous ranking of righteous masters.

After all, Jia Huan had to act this way to maximize his profits; otherwise, readers wouldn't be able to process it at all.

For example, comparing the top righteous martial arts master Feng Qingyang of Mount Hua with the top evil martial arts master, or even the top martial arts master of the entire martial arts world, would make the content more attractive and also make the previous content more profound. It's that simple.

The comparison did not surprise the readers; Dongfang Bubai was superior.

However, Jia Huan also made it very clear that if the Huashan Sect hadn't suffered a change in events, with almost all of the Sword Sect disciples dying, which affected Feng Qingyang's mentality, it would have been unlikely that Dongfang Bubai would have been able to gain the upper hand.

After all, the "Huashan Hunyuan Gong" that Feng Qingyang cultivates belongs to the Taoist internal energy cultivation method. The longer the cultivation time, the greater the effect and power. This is an indisputable fact.

As for whether the monthly magazine readers agreed with this statement, Jia Huan didn't care too much.

The following issues will compare top masters of the evil path with their corresponding masters of the righteous path. This kind of content is more attractive to readers, and it is indeed the case.

The two envoys of the Demonic Sect are comparable to the abbot of Shaolin and the leader of Wudang.

It's clear that the abbot of Shaolin and the leader of Wudang have a significant advantage. What makes Xiang Wentian, the Heavenly King himself, compare to Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin?
