destiny eternal calamity

Too many things happened today that were beyond Li Wei's expectations.

He encountered a demon in the street, learned of the deep-seated hatred between Zuo Fenghan and his sect, and met the celestial maiden Zhao Yuqing...

"Senior sister, who is Zuoqiu Xian?"

Li Wei watched Shang Xueyan tuning her instrument and asked curiously.

Shang Xueyan paused, her hand stroking the guqin, as if recalling something.

"Zuo Qiuxian was a leading figure among the younger generation in the martial arts world more than twenty years ago, just like Jia Ziyu, the Daoist disciple of the Dao Sect today."

"Back then, he was not yet thirty years old, but he was already on the verge of breaking through to the Dharma Aspect stage. In the end, however, he and his wife died inexplicably during a sect mission."

"That time, five Kunlun disciples went on a mission together, but in the end, only they did not come back alive. One of the remaining three disciples became the leader of the Kunlun Sect, so there have always been some conspiracy theories about this in the martial arts world."

So that's how it is. No wonder Mr. Zuo was so indignant.

A promising young man was murdered, and there's no way to seek justice.

As for why Zuo Lao wasn't completely eliminated, it's most likely to avoid suspicion, otherwise it would be too obvious.

Of course, it is also possible that Zuo Qiuxian and his wife died in an accident.

But having experienced some things, Li Wei knew that the possibility was really small.

"And what about that 'Heavenly Maiden'? What's her title?"

"This is a special tradition that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Each generation of celestial maidens stands at the pinnacle of cultivation in the world. They have different personalities, but the only thing they have in common is their obsession with sealing away the 'demon'."

"Each generation of celestial maidens would enter a demon's tomb to suppress the true demons. It is said that it is because of their suppression that the demons in this world are so weak."

"In recent years, demons have indeed become more and more active, and it's time for a celestial maiden to emerge. However, it seems that this celestial maiden has encountered some problems with her cultivation..."

"She seems to be at the Qi Sea Realm, which is really strange, but that kind of demon-repelling technique cannot be faked."

"What is the Demon Tomb?" Li Wei asked.

My senior sister Yan is so knowledgeable, she's practically a walking encyclopedia of the martial arts world. I really need to learn from her.

"There are ten demon tombs in the world, namely the Heavenly Demon, Earthly Demon, Human Demon, Ghost Demon, God Demon, Yang Demon, Yin Demon, Disease Demon, Monster Demon, and Realm Demon."

"Legend has it that each demon tomb seals away an unparalleled true demon, and once it is released, it will surely bring devastation to all living beings."

"Throughout history, eight celestial maidens have appeared, and they all entered the demon tombs to suppress the true demons. Therefore, eight demon tombs have been sealed by the celestial maidens, and now only two demon tombs in the world are still in danger of being broken."

"One of them is right here in our Kongsang Sect!" Shang Xueyan muttered to herself.

"Alright, it's all set. Come and try it out." Shang Xueyan stood up and greeted Li Wei.

Li Wei sat down and began to play the zither. The knowledge in his mind instantly transformed into nourishment, enriching his musical skills.

Shang Xueyan, who was giving instructions from the side, was also deeply impressed.

She could tell that Li Wei had never played the guqin before, which was something that couldn't be acted out.

But his rate of progress was simply terrifying.

Then consider his mastery of the Everlasting Spring Finger, achieved through special techniques, and his terrifying speed of comprehending martial arts techniques…

All I can say is that this guy is a monster.

He, who was once hailed as a prodigy in his youth, was like a greenhorn in front of him.

That evening, Li Wei continued to work hard and practice his skills!

Today's experiences made Li Wei realize that there are just too many strange and bizarre things in this world.

Even the celestial maiden of the Eternal Calamity Realm had no choice but to enter the Demon Tomb to suppress the true demon.

Either they truly possess great love, or something is limiting their actions or even their thoughts...

Li Wei leans towards the latter.

He believed that there were saints in the world, but it was obviously absurd that eight celestial maidens in a row were saints.

He didn't believe it.

To figure this out, perhaps we need to have more contact with Zhao Yuqing...

In short, he now felt that even if it were an eternal calamity, it would probably be nothing more than a slightly larger ant in this world, so he felt a sense of urgency.

[To learn the third-tier skill "Taiqing Gong" to perfection, 6400 recharge points are required. Do you wish to learn it?]

"yes!"

[Ding! 5120 recharge points (20% discount) have been deducted, and the third-tier skill "Taiqing Gong" has been mastered!]

[To learn the third-tier skill "Nine Refinements of the Cloud Bed" to perfection, 6400 recharge points are required. Do you wish to learn it?]

"yes!"

[Ding! 5120 recharge points (20% discount) have been deducted, and the third-tier skill "Nine Trainings of the Cloud Bed" has been mastered!]

[To learn the third-tier skill "Great Divine Palm" to perfection, 6400 recharge points are required. Do you wish to learn it?]

"yes!"

[Ding! 5120 recharge points (20% discount) have been deducted, and the third-tier skill "Great Divine Palm" has been learned to perfection!]

Of these three techniques, the special effect of Taiqing Gong is to enhance the destructive power of Hunyuan Zhenqi when performing the techniques.

The Nine Trainings on the Cloud Bed allowed him to find the best angle to block various weapons. Just as the Five Steps Plum Blossom Stakes made dodging instinctive, the Nine Trainings on the Cloud Bed also made blocking weapons instinctive.

The Great Divine Palm is simple and brutal, increasing arm strength by another 50%.

This special effect and the Thunderous Mountain-Shattering Hand special effect can be activated simultaneously, with only a slight reduction. Previously, his punch was more than 200,000 jin. After raising the Great Divine Might Palm to perfection, his punching power has increased to about 350,000 jin.

He even felt that his body was not strong enough to withstand the force.

In addition, the special effect of the "Exhaling Turbidity and Inhaling Purity" method is to increase the speed of true qi recovery, while the "Eight Steps of Gazing at the Clouds" mentioned earlier provides a 50% speed bonus.

Li Wei's system panel looks like this at this moment:

Martial Arts Cultivation: Mid-stage Qi Sea Realm

[Recharge Points: 712840 (One tael of silver can be exchanged for one recharge point.)]

[Note: Recharge points can be used to learn cultivation techniques, upgrade technique levels, and advance technique stages...]

None of the third-tier techniques he learned this time had the potential to advance to the fourth tier.

However, the Spirit Bridge is the dividing line between cultivators and martial artists, so it is not surprising that there is an insurmountable gap between fourth-order and third-order cultivation techniques.

The level of cultivation in the Qi Sea Realm mainly depends on true qi. Therefore, even if he raises all five third-tier cultivation techniques to the perfect level, he will mainly gain an increase in physical strength and combat power, rather than an increase in realm.

To advance his cultivation level, he must expand his dantian and compress his true qi.

The operation of compressing true qi requires a certain level of strength in the dantian and meridians.

It could even be said that those techniques that enhance physical strength were originally created to allow martial artists to better compress their true qi.
