A one in a thousand chance, it’s too small.
But after breaking through the Innate Stage, he now felt that the Celestial Spirit Child Skill within him had reached an unprecedented realm.
The blazing Gang Qi burst forth from his body, flames and thunder exploded, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
Wherever his gaze landed, Zhang Jian saw the surroundings of the Luo Bed, silken bedding turning into charcoal at a visible speed, yet they didn’t ignite, instead, they were directly reduced to ashes by the intense heat, even the stone slabs beneath his feet were scorched through.
The Celestial Spirit Inner Breath cultivated by the Celestial Spirit Child Skill was actually Pure Yang Inner Breath.
Using the True Yang from a child’s body as the foundation, it was most fiery and domineering.
It could be described as Extreme Yang.
In the void, strands of invisible Spiritual Mechanism were twisted and pulled by this terrifying force field, attempting to turn into a vortex and get absorbed into Zhang Jian’s body.
Zhang Jian felt that, through the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, he could already mobilize the Spiritual Mechanism in the void.
The inner breath Gang Qi of a Nourishing Yuan Stage Inner Cultivation Martial Artist is certainly powerful, but the Gang Qi within one’s body has limits, while an Innate Stage Inner Cultivation Martial Artist can mobilize a thread of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism through the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.
The force exploded by the oppression of the Power of Heaven and Earth is naturally beyond what a Nourishing Yuan Stage Inner Cultivation Martial Artist can compare to.
Zhang Jian sensed that the Jade Pool Golden Lotus Seed was still continuously integrating power deeply into his soul, causing his Innate Spiritual Sense to keep growing.
Very mysterious.
"The Innate Stage guides even a thread of the Power of Heaven and Earth; it’s already so terrifying. I wonder what can be achieved by stepping into the Gate of the Great Dao?"
Zhang Jian’s eyes shone brightly.
He was already somewhat impatient.
...
"Nine Chapters of Pure Tongshan!"
With Zhang Yi’s help, Zhang Jian’s deciphering speed increased significantly, and half a month later, he finally completed the deciphering.
In the study room, Zhang Jian frowned, just as he and Zhang Yi expected, the dozen paintings contained Ancient Golden Scripts which indeed held a cultivation mind method.
This is the Immortal Technique.
Even just a cursory glance, Zhang Jian could feel its profoundness.
Zhang Jian’s time couldn’t hide his smile.
"Brother Jian, how is it?"
Zhang Yi stood aside, one hand clasped, the other tightly gripping the Duster, obviously still a bit nervous, worried about accidents.
Zhang Jian replied with a smile, "We succeeded!"
"Great!"
Zhang Yi’s face subtly trembled, his body shook, although he uttered only one word, the surging joy in his heart was uncontrollable.
Zhang Jian laughed and said, "Uncle Yi, later I will fully teach you the Cultivation Technique, also this Cultivation Technique is quite special!"
His eyes had a peculiar brightness, causing Zhang Yi to look instinctively.
"According to the information deciphered from these Ancient Golden Scripts, this might be a mind method passed down by a sect!"
Zhang Jian’s expression had a somewhat solemn look.
To be precise, it’s the entry-level mind method of a certain sect.
It is extremely complete.
What’s most valuable is that the end of the Cultivation Technique includes many cultivation tips, such as explanations of terminology, and the taboos of practice, along with three Minor Magics, making it a complete inheritance.
However, currently, there are only the first three levels, and according to the message at the end of these Ancient Golden Scripts, to obtain the core techniques behind, one needs to locate ’Tongshan’ to acquire the core Secret Techniques.
"Then is there the location of ’Tongshan’ mentioned in the back of the writings?"
Zhang Yi’s expression was a bit puzzled.
"No!"
Zhang Jian shook his head.
Zhang Yi nodded, not appearing disappointed.
Though a little surprised, it didn’t affect the interest of the uncle-nephew duo; this is something for the future.
At least it has no impact on the present.
Such Immortal Technique, whether it’s possible to cultivate or not is a question for later.
As the uncle-nephew duo was fully comprehending this Mysterious Technique.
Shuangta Mountain
At this time, hundreds of soldiers were shouting, wielding weapons in a reversal siege drama, the ’roving bandits’ charging down from the mountain pass were shot down by a group of red-clad soldiers with crossbow arrows.
Crossbow Arrows fell like torrential rain into the valley, groups of savage bandits were in fear, collapsing on the ground.
The sounds of screams and pleas for mercy echoed.
These red-clad soldiers had steadfast brows, large and round stature, brimmed with Evil Qi, clearly battle-hardened elite soldiers.
This group of hundred was the result of Zhang Yi’s ten years of painstaking cultivation.
Don’t be fooled by the mere hundred; each of them survived countless slaughter, finally became elite soldiers from the battles against roving bandits and horse thieves.
And the Nine-Bead Divine Crossbow in their hands is also a heavy weapon in the Daqian Army.
All funded heavily by the Zhang Family to get from the military.
Indeed, with a lot of money paving the way, many things become much simpler.
Today Zhang Yi handed these hundred elite soldiers to Zhang Kui as a surprise force to slaughter the bandit coalition gathered from Three Mountains.
This coalition consists of White Horse Stockade, Black Tiger Stockade, Little Cold Mountain horse thieves, all well-known big stockades within the Shuangfeng Mountain Range, infamous for obstructing traffic and robbery.
The large merchant caravans around Fengxi County suffered greatly, gritting their teeth against these three stockades, but unable to do anything about them.
This time in the collaboration of some interested individuals, they united against Zhang Kui’s bandit-exterminating soldiers.
At present, the valley was a river of blood, horse thieves and roving bandits lay slumped in pools of blood.
Even the leaders from the Three Major Stockades faced with military weaponry, one after another succumbed under the Nine-Bead Crossbow, only the two leading bandits and the Five Heroes of the North wielding strong External Martial Cultivation managed to use corpses to shield against the successive downpours of arrows.
The ’good friends’ in front of them became targets, and as the waves of arrow rain came down liberally, the meat shields they held gradually got pierced through.
The few had fear in their eyes; the special arrowheads from the Nine-Bead Divine Crossbow were specifically meant to penetrate Qi Force, they couldn’t withstand it.
"Damn the Zhang Family, how much have they spent on these arrowheads?"
At this moment, the leading figure of the Five Heroes of the North, Black Eagle Zhu Heng was almost grinding his teeth.
This is flaunting money for personal gain!
They knew the folks in the army were the types not getting involved without profit; such military weaponry is usually hard to procure, even if leaked out, it requires immense cost.
Yet Zhang Kui’s crossbow arrows poured out in wave after wave.
Each one spent equaled streams of copper coins and silver!
"Zhu Heng, didn’t you say this battle was foolproof? How did it turn out like this?"
Now the remaining leader from Black Tiger Mountain was filled with grief, watching the meat shield gradually pierced by dense arrow rain, in despair, he roared fiercely, like a tiger pouncing out, but instantly drowned by arrow rain, moaning under dozens of arrows.
He was extremely fierce, even turned into a ’porcupine’, he still grasped the behead blade charging furiously towards Zhang Kui, Muscle Strengthening Qi shattering massive stones everywhere.
But within moments he was pinned dead on the ground by a Godly Power through maneuvering a fierce spear from the figure beside Zhang Kui, penetrating several feet deep into the stone.
The Five Heroes of the North, seeing such circumstances, each fell into despair.
They all charged out, but their condition wasn’t any better; they got merely as far as in front of Zhang Kui then were surrounded by a dozen manor guests, into a group skirmish.
Against the organized military force, individual prowess had severe limitations.
Especially in face of elite troops equipped with military weaponry.
Of course, it was also the Five Heroes of the North being tricked and pulled apart, otherwise, even Zhang Kui would have to pay a price to kill these External Martial Cultivators.
"A pack of roaming dogs, not worthy of threat!"
Zhang Kui was tall and robust, his face covered in moles, remnants of childhood pox, making him appear intimidating.
Nearby, the handsome middle-aged man wielding a Red Tassel Spear reminded.
"Fourth Lord, still leave some alive, maybe toppling Yang Qing might still rest on them!"
He was Fengyang Spear King Wang Quan, alongside Jian Yao, Zhao Jinhong, they were among Zhang Family’s three most capable manor guests.
Zhang Kui glanced at the blood-soaked valley, nodded slightly, signaling his subordinates to leave survivors; although the Five Heroes of the North were vicious, they had already been struck with many stray arrows, hard to escape.
...
In the Zhang Family, back courtyard.
Gu Xiu’Er was locked in her inner breath, unable to move, but her expression was calm without any sign of panic.
At that time, the white light veil on her face had been removed, her delicate face was unveiled, fair skin like jade; her visage was extremely extraordinary, her presence like orchid and immortal.
