Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

"I can stop Xiaoyaozi, but I don't know his strength and I'm not sure. You should make plans early."

"Senior, didn't you tie with Taizu before? Taizu has the blessing of the dragon vein of national destiny, but Xiaoyaozi doesn't." Qingyun asked in confusion.

If Taizu had not used the dragon vein of national destiny, he would have been in a protracted war with Duan Siping.

Duan Siping shook his head. "Zhao Kuangyin has methods, but doesn't Xiaoyaozi have them? Even if he doesn't, there's still a huge gap between Xiaoyaozi and me. If this goes on for a long time, I'll still be the one who loses."

"Alas, not everyone is Jiang Xiaozi. I have too high expectations of my seniors."

After Qingyun finished speaking, two pairs of eyes stared at him.

Duan Siping looked at him unfriendly, and Zhang Ziyang was speechless.

If you ask someone for help and then criticize that person in front of him, you are the only one who can do it.

"Senior, just kidding, just kidding. It's already amazing that you can fight across borders. Unlike me, I haven't even grasped the artistic conception.

Although he is a Grandmaster, he is at the bottom of the Grandmasters' rank."

Qingyun belittled himself, saved Duan Siping's face, and eased the awkward atmosphere.

"Oh, if Cuihua were here, we could ask Mr. Xiyi for help through him." Qingyun said helplessly.

Cuihua and Jiang Chunhua went down the mountain, and they didn't know where he was now.

Ever since Jiang Xiaozi's sister and cousin came to Qingyun Mountain to pay homage eight years ago, Chunhua went down the mountain in despair.

Afterwards, he seemed to be venting his anger, or wanted to prove that he was more useful than Jiang Xiaozi's sister. In short, he challenged all the forces that had targeted Jiang Xiaozi, regardless of their level, resulting in countless casualties.

After being defeated by Wu Cuihua in Shaolin, he came back once and then went down the mountain again.

Although they knew that Mr. Xiyi was in Huashan, they couldn't find him.

The last time Xiaoyaozi bound the destiny of Taoism with the destiny of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Ziyang went to look for it, but couldn't find it.

Chapter 465 Duan Siping takes the blame again

At nightfall, Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang dug Jiang Weichen out for safety reasons.

The three of them looked at the large, white silkworm pupa and felt the air flowing in from all around.

This airflow not only contains spiritual energy, but also the essence of plants and trees, the energy of the five elements, etc.

"It's been four years. He has been absorbing energy day and night for four years. Qingyun Mountain and its surrounding areas have become desolate. With so much energy, Jiang kid will become a celestial being when he wakes up, right?" Qingyun guessed.

His and Zhang Ziyang's Dantian were destroyed, and it took them more than three years to recover their strength after repair, and there were interruptions in between.

What they absorbed was just spiritual energy. At most, Zhang Ziyang absorbed the purple energy of the rising sun every morning.

Duan Siping tried to investigate with his spiritual sense, but was unable to penetrate at all, being completely blocked out.

Zhang Ziyang tried it and said, "This silkworm chrysalis is extremely strong and impervious to water and fire. It's not easy to destroy. Qingyun, move it quickly under cover of night."

"Okay." Qingyun replied.

They dug Jiang Weichen out and prepared to transfer him.

Qingyun carried the silkworm pupa and went down the mountain at an extremely fast speed, and the wind and sand were everywhere he passed.

Duan Siping looked at Qingyun Mountain and sighed, "If one can continue to improve this method of cultivation, then the essence of the entire heaven and earth will be plundered, and the world will become a desert.

The limitations of heaven and earth are actually a form of self-protection. Do you think it's right or wrong for us to pursue a higher realm?

Zhang Ziyang felt heavy-hearted when he looked at the scenery of Qingyun Mountain. Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven.

But even if they knew it was wrong, who could resist the temptation to continue? Duan Siping couldn't, and neither could he.

The only thing that can comfort them is that after they die, everything will return to heaven and earth.

The two remained silent for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked towards the tomb.

"Spiritual energy is flourishing?" the two said in unison.

Although Qingyun Mountain is desolate, the concentration of spiritual energy around the tomb is still not low because Jiang Weichen gathers spiritual energy from all directions.

After Qingyun carried it away, the spiritual energy tended to flow around, but a stream of spiritual energy continued to be generated inside the tomb.

The two were puzzled. After observing for half an hour, Duan Siping sighed, "How can the convergence of the five elements actually transform into spiritual energy? Could this be the principle behind how mountains, rivers, and earth veins transform spiritual energy?"

After he finished speaking, he showed a look of joy. If one could master this method and artificially control the gathering of the five elements, wouldn't it be possible to create a place for cultivation with rich spiritual energy?

Unfortunately, the only way he knew to master the energy of the five elements was to comprehend the artistic conception of the five elements, and to comprehend it to the second level.

When people practice with spiritual energy and comprehend the artistic conception to the second level, they will be able to mobilize the spiritual energy within a certain range for their own use.

But the power of heaven and earth is not only spiritual energy, but also wind, rain, thunder, five elements, etc.

These forces of heaven and earth require unique artistic conception to mobilize.

For example, his artistic conception of withering and flourishing is realized by sensing the withering and flourishing of all things. In addition to mobilizing spiritual energy, it can also mobilize the vitality of all things.

Because he believed that the growth and decline of all things was the change in the amount of vital energy. More vital energy means strong vitality, while less vital energy means weak vitality.

Apart from these two things, he also found it difficult to mobilize the others.

Feeling that the speed of spiritual energy generation in the tomb was slowly decreasing, Duan Siping knew that this was because Jiang Weichen had left and the five elements of energy were no longer gathering.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, has Jiang Weichen also comprehended the artistic conception of the Five Elements?" Duan Siping asked.

If this was caused by the artistic conception, then it would be useless for him to know it, as he did not have time to comprehend the five elements.

Moreover, artistic conception cannot be understood just by understanding it. One must either have sufficient experience and insights, or have the corresponding skills.

Zhang Ziyang shook his head. He didn't know whether Jiang Weichen had understood the artistic conception of the Five Elements.

…………

Above Taihu Lake, Qingyun stood still holding the silkworm pupa.

"Jiang boy, if we leave you in the mountains, you will be easily discovered by the movement of you absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

Only the Taihu Lake is covered by the water, making it difficult to discover. Anyway, you have the silkworm chrysalis to protect you, so you are immune to water and fire, so you will be fine."

After Qingyun finished speaking, he put the silkworm pupa into the lake and turned away only after seeing it completely sink to the bottom of the lake.

The silkworm pupa was very strong, even he couldn't destroy it. Perhaps only Duan Siping, Xiaoyaozi and others could destroy it.

It was pointless for him to guard here, and it would expose his position, so he might as well go back.

……

Three days later, Xiaoyaozi arrived above Qingyun Mountain.

"You really don't want to wait even a moment longer." Zhang Ziyang sighed inwardly as he watched Xiaoyaozi landing.

Li Canghai went back and rushed to Xiaoyaozi. It only took him three days to go from Jiangnan to Dali.

Even if both of them can fly, the speed is too fast. This is a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers.

Xiaoyaozi came to Qingyun Mountain and used his spiritual sense to investigate, but did not find the abnormality that Canghai mentioned.

The only abnormality was the bones in the tomb. Twelve years ago, he had examined Jiang Weichen's physique and found that his bones should not be so light.

This was also a helpless move. Qingyun and his friends had no way to find remains of a person with Jiang Weichen's physique, so they could only find a skeleton at random in the mass grave and put it in.

Looking at the desolate Qingyun Mountain, Xiaoyaozi was shocked and confused. Was this caused by Duan Siping?

"Zhang Ziyang, you should know why I'm here, so hurry up."

Xiaoyaozi directly ignored Qingyun. Although this was Qingyun's territory, its influence was not much greater than Zhang Ziyang's.

Qingyun was a little angry and looked down on others. Murong Longcheng ignored him, and Xiaoyaozi also ignored him when he came to his territory.

"Murong Longcheng is already dead. I will outlast you sooner or later. If I can't, I will let Jiang kid beat you to death." Qingyun was indignant.

"Xiaoyaozi, I've said before, we don't have Jiang Weichen's inheritance." Zhang Ziyang looked directly at Xiaoyaozi and said in an affirmative tone.

"Jiang Weichen is dead, and none of his subordinates or his sister have received the true inheritance. If it's not with you, then where is it? Don't think about getting away with it. I don't have time to play with you."

The recent unrest had completely exhausted his patience.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I have said everything I should say. You can do whatever you want." Zhang Ziyang stood with his hands behind his back, looking as if he was ready to be killed or cut into pieces.

"If there was no inheritance, how did you break through the limitations of heaven and earth? If there was no inheritance, would Duan Siping have spent eleven years here?" Xiaoyaozi's face was a little dark.

Zhang Ziyang sneered, "What a joke! I, Zhang Ziyang, am a Grandmaster who has forged my own path. Taizu was able to break through limitations, Duan Siping was able to do so, and so was you, Xiaoyaozi. Why can't I?"

"As for Duan Siping, he's just birds of a feather. It's been eleven years. If there was an inheritance, he would have taken it and left long ago. Why would he still be here?"

Duan Siping, who had been silent, turned silent. It was all right that Qingyun said bad things about me behind my back, but now you, Zhang Ziyang, are framing me to my face and making me take the blame. Not only that, you are even cursing me in person?

Although he knew that he was trying to gain Xiaoyaozi's trust, he still felt inexplicably unhappy.

Chapter 466: Double Act Playing with Xiaoyaozi

Xiaoyaozi was half-believing and half-doubting. He looked at Duan Siping and said, "Daoyou, was this Qingyun Mountain created by you?"

In response to Xiaoyaozi's question, Duan Siping spoke for the first time, but his tone was not very good.

"Why, Xiaoyaozi, are you going to interrogate me? I fought a battle with Zhao Kuangyin and witnessed the power of his national destiny dragon vein.

I wouldn't mind fighting you again, just to see what you have to offer."

Xiaoyaozi's face turned pale. These two men spoke more aggressively than each other and didn't give him any face at all.

He just asked casually, with no intention of interrogating Duan Siping, but he threatened to attack. Was he really going to get angry?

He also knew that Zhao Kuangyin summoned the dragon vein to transform and defeated Duan Siping, who was almost tied with him, with one blow.

He felt that he was no longer Zhao Kuangyin's opponent, but there was no conflict between him and Zhao Kuangyin now.

"I'm just asking casually. Your life is almost over, and I'm afraid I'll kill you with a single blow, leaving you one less member of my generation."

"Haha, okay, come on, let's see whether you beat me to death first or I tear off a piece of your flesh first."

Duan Siping stretched out his hand, as if he was about to take action.

Xiaoyaozi was stunned. This was not the great monk Duan Siping who had abdicated and become a monk. He was a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

"Could it be that he's nearing the end of his life, and with Zhao Kuangyin destroying Dali, he's filled with resentment and wants to vent it on me or use me as a scapegoat?"

Xiaoyaozi stopped provoking them, and a fight would be meaningless.

"I'm not interested in fighting you, and I'm not here for you."
