All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Chapter 146 Base Vehicle Deployment

On the way, Zhang Cheng spoke first: "This stone dragon, even in this realm, would be considered a first-rate expert with both internal and external cultivation. What do you all think?"

""

Wu Xingyun crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "His internal strength is much deeper than mine a month ago, but his method of channeling his energy is too crude. He's just relying on brute force to send bricks flying."

If we put him back in our world, he could only reach the level of the elders in the Beggars' Sect at best, and then he would be unlikely to progress any further.

With just a little adaptation to the rules of this world, even I or my junior sister from a month ago would have had a 40% chance of winning against him.

That's not far from the truth. Apart from his famous "Mountain Pusher," Shi Long doesn't even have a decent lightness skill. The Mountain Pusher's energy circulation and power generation are also quite simple, otherwise Zhang Cheng wouldn't have been able to quickly analyze it and imitate it using the Lesser Formless Skill.

In contrast, Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui possess the true teachings of the Xiaoyao School, with their fist and foot techniques, agility, and internal protective skills all forming a complete system, far surpassing the unorthodox methods of Shi Long.

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I think that a month ago, you would have had at most a 30% chance of winning against him."

His protective internal strength is quite formidable. Although I withdrew my palm strike in time, he was able to get up immediately as if nothing had happened, which shows his profound foundation.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun carefully recalled Shi Long's performance and nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Li Qiushui spoke up: "What was that strange phenomenon that appeared on the Sect Leader's body during the fight just now?"

"It seems that once the energy of heaven and earth is mobilized beyond a certain limit in this realm, corresponding strange phenomena will appear." Zhang Cheng recalled the feeling when he was practicing his cultivation just now.

"We were worried about making a commotion while we were on the mountain, so we didn't draw on much of the power of heaven and earth, which is why we didn't discover it until now."

Li Qiushui seemed to understand something, her eyes flashing: "So that's how it is. This world is quite interesting. In this way, as soon as a master makes a move, their lineage and background will be completely exposed."

She paused, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "The moves simulated using the Lesser Formless Skill don't seem to reveal our true nature, which is an advantage for us. There's a lot we can do with that."

Seeing Li Qiushui's "evil female villain" demeanor, Zhang Cheng helplessly interrupted, "Sister Li, we can talk about these things later. Right now, it's more important to focus on improving our strength."

He stopped and looked around. The place was about three miles from Shilong's village. It was an open area, backed by a low hill and surrounded by wild fields overgrown with weeds.

"Let's make this our new base. Like the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains," Zhang Cheng said, slowly raising his hands. The nearby soil and rocks, pulled by the force of his palms, floated off the ground.

This time, he used his divine sense to restrain it, and the mud and rocks did not turn into earth dragons again. Instead, they gathered together layer by layer and gradually formed a hollow dome.

Wu Xingyun looked up and glanced at it, then bluntly commented, "So ugly. I'd rather go through the trouble of cutting down the tree."

"Alright, this is just a cover. We don't rest here." Zhang Cheng said, walking into the dome.

The dome was about ten zhang square inside. Zhang Cheng stood in the very center and continued to use the "Mountain Pusher" to manipulate the earth and rocks.

The soil beneath their feet silently collapsed, revealing a sloping hole extending downwards.

He stepped in first, moving forward. Wherever his palm strike reached, the soil in front of him split open and compacted itself, turning into cave walls, while the excess soil and rocks were carried backward by the force.

A tunnel, about two people high and six people wide, stretched out beneath his feet.

Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui followed behind him. The three of them went downhill and then turned east. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the tunnel was finally completed.

The three then returned to the front of the tunnel and placed the invisible portal on the side wall.

Zhang Cheng took two steps back, examined the tunnel carefully, and nodded in satisfaction: "Alright. This way, unless someone happens to bump into this wall, they'll only think we escaped from that side when they see another exit at the other end of the tunnel."

Wu and Li had been watching Zhang Cheng's arrangements. Now, turning their attention away, Li Qiushui asked, "So, what are the sect leader's next plans?"

"Let's bring the people from Misty Peak over first," Zhang Cheng said, stepping into the teleportation portal first.

With their current strength, the three of them are already capable of establishing themselves in Yangzhou. The hundreds of disciples of Lingjiu Palace are all skilled in martial arts, and under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of this place, their cultivation speed will undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

The three returned to the Tianlong World. Except for leaving one of the nine disciples to guard the place, Zhang Cheng brought the rest of the Ling Palace members to the Tang Dynasty World.

Hundreds of disciples passed through the teleportation portal and lined up in the tunnel. Fortunately, the tunnel was wide enough that it didn't feel crowded.

These Lingjiu Palace disciples were all visiting this realm for the first time, and they were all incredibly excited as they felt the surging spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Several disciples who had been stuck at their bottlenecks and unable to break through felt a tingling sensation throughout their meridians after stepping into this realm. Their internal energy began to circulate uncontrollably, allowing them to break through their barriers on the spot.

The disciples felt as if they had entered a celestial realm, and their gazes toward Zhang Cheng were filled with reverence.

Zhang Cheng called Xiao Yu to his side and instructed him: "From now on, the duty shifts at Lingjiu Palace will be rotated among the nine departments, one department per day."

The rest may remain in this realm to cultivate, but must ensure they can retreat into the immortal sect at any time.

"I will obey Your Majesty's command." Xiao Yu replied and then withdrew to relay the message to the other nine tribal leaders.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Cheng left the Linggong disciples in the underground passage for the time being, while he led his harem and Li Qiushui back to the surface and returned to the dome.

Zhong Ling was the first to get restless and suggested going out for a walk. Mu Wanqing and the others were also interested. Zhang Cheng told them not to go too far, and then let them go.

The girls responded and then left the dome together. The group chattered as they walked away.

For a moment, only Zhang Cheng, Wu, and Li remained inside the dome.

"These guys are all restless and dislike stillness. They'd be hard-pressed to become experts even in a different world," Zhang Cheng remarked casually, before taking out the "Longevity Manual" that Shi Long had given him from his robes.

Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui immediately gathered around. The two were already filled with curiosity about the extraordinary skill Zhang Cheng had described, which was comparable to the "Yi Jin Jing" and "Six Meridians Divine Sword Scripture" from the world of Tian Long Ba Bu.

Zhang Cheng opened the booklet, and the three of them looked at it together.

The Longevity Manual is not long, only about seven thousand characters. The problem is that it is entirely written in oracle bone script, and the three of them could not recognize a single character.

Although the blank spaces on the pages are densely filled with annotations from past owners, they are written in various languages, which not only fail to resolve the doubts but also make the reader's head spin.

In addition to these texts, the book also includes seven human figures, with red dots and arrows marking the routes of Qi circulation.

However, these paths were completely illogical given the three's past martial arts foundation. If they rashly followed these methods, they would immediately suffer from qi deviation.
