Chapter 13

"Oh!"

"These two techniques were created from the 'Divine Camel Snow Mountain Palm' and the 'Toad Technique'."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng said calmly upon hearing this.

"How is this possible?! How could Ouyang Feng tell you his martial arts?!"

"And... didn't you kill him?!"

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang was even more stunned. What was going on?!

"He didn't need to tell me!"

"He used these two techniques when he was killing me. I learned them just by looking at them, and then I innovated... it's very simple, not difficult at all!"

"It's much simpler than creating the Longevity Method."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng said calmly.

Learned them just by looking at them?!

And... innovated?!

Not... difficult?!

Much... simpler than the Longevity Method?!

Is... is this human language?! Is he not going to let others live?!

He is simply a monster!

Hearing such words, Wang Wang Wang Chongyang trembled with anger, breaking out in a cold sweat on a hot day, his hands and feet cold.

Can this world still be okay? What do you geniuses and monsters want from us ordinary people to be satisfied? Tears flowed uncontrollably.

This world is filled with oppression against ordinary people. When will we ordinary people truly be able to stand up?!

He remained silent, looking at his little disciple who was only eight years old, and for a moment, he felt a sense of desolation and sorrow.

"Enough! What about the Heaven-Governing Big Dipper Array?!"

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang took a deep breath, deciding that for the sake of Li Li Li Zhangsheng being young, he wouldn't hold it against him, and asked again about the situation of the Heaven-Governing Big Dipper Array.

"The Heaven-Governing Big Dipper Array?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng was stunned, then reacted, handing a book from the side to Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, "Oh! You mean the array that the senior brothers set up!"

"I saw that they couldn't stop the Western Venom Ouyang Feng with the Heaven-Governing Big Dipper Array, so I helped them modify it a little."

"The Small Heavenly Cycle Big Dipper Array—is this name okay?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng looked at Wang Wang Wang Chongyang with pride, showing off the new name he had given the array.

Modified it a little?!

Modified it a little, and it could severely wound a Heaven and Man martial artist?!

Is... is this what you call modifying it a little?!

If it weren't for having experienced so many inconceivable things, Wang Wang Wang Chongyang would have almost burst out with a curse on the spot.

But even so, Wang Wang Wang Chongyang still couldn't calm down, his body swaying involuntarily.

Oh!

You are a genius, you are a monster, you are the one who created the Longevity Method... then it's fine.

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang silently took the books, turned around silently, and walked out with an expressionless, calm face.

"Hey?!"

"Master, you're leaving already?! Not staying a while longer?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng was slightly startled. He left after asking just a few questions?!

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, however, didn't want to pay any attention to Li Li Li Zhangsheng and walked straight out.

"This old man... forget it, forget it, let him go, so he doesn't disturb my reading."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng waved his hand indifferently and picked up a book to read again.

Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, who had walked to the door, suddenly stopped for no reason, his body swaying involuntarily, and then he walked out again.

This back view was lonely and desolate.

If Li Li Li Zhangsheng could see this scene, he would definitely find that this back view was very similar to that of a certain monkey in "A Chinese Odyssey."

Time was passing, rushing forward.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng read books while refining pills from time to time. When the ten-year snake gall entered the treasury, he refined a few more Essence-Nurturing Pills and gave them to Ma Yu.

Anyway, the current Essence-Nurturing Pills were of no use to him anymore.

[You watch many alchemy books, study the properties of various medicinal herbs, explore the two bridges of heaven and earth and the Ren and Du meridians, your comprehension is heaven-defying... You grasp a hint of the true essence of acupoints, and you create the "Acupoint-Breaking Pill Formula"!]

[You watch many alchemy books, use the "Supreme Alchemy Technique" many times to refine Essence-Nurturing Pills, your comprehension is heaven-defying, and you draw inferences... You grasp a hint of the true essence of alchemy, and you create the "Basic Alchemy Technique"!]

[You watch the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen practice the "Small Heavenly Cycle Big Dipper Array," your comprehension is heaven-defying, and you draw inferences... You grasp a hint of the true essence of arrays, and you create the "Complete Collection of Basic Array Diagrams"!]

[...]

"Hmm! Quite a harvest these days."

"The 'Acupoint-Breaking Pill Formula,' the 'Basic Alchemy Technique,' the 'Complete Collection of Basic Array Diagrams'... with these, I can let the senior brothers train some alchemists, so I won't have to refine some pills myself in the future."

"This way, I'll have more time to read."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng looked at his recent harvest and nodded with satisfaction.

Once the "Acupoint-Breaking Pill Formula" came out, Li Li Li Zhangsheng immediately had Yin Yin Yin Zhiping collect many medicinal herbs. Compared to the Essence-Nurturing Pills, the herbs needed for the Acupoint-Breaking Pill were much more precious, and many even required a lifespan of over a hundred years.

Fortunately, as one of the great sects of the Dao, the Quanzhen Sect had accumulated many precious medicinal herbs over the years, and it didn't take long to gather the herbs needed to refine the Acupoint-Breaking Pill.

Without hesitation, Li Li Li Zhangsheng immediately started the furnace to refine the pills. The first time, he refined three Acupoint-Breaking Pills; the second time, nine; and the third time, twelve.

After three times, the herbs for the Acupoint-Breaking Pill were exhausted, mainly due to the lack of some main ingredients, so he couldn't continue refining.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng took twelve Acupoint-Breaking Pills in a row and finally opened the Ren and Du meridians, opening the two bridges of heaven and earth.

"So this is the Ren and Du meridians, the two bridges of heaven and earth?!"

Boom!

A soft sound came from within Li Li Li Zhangsheng's body. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed from the void into his limbs and bones. The three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit combined, and a power different from true qi was born.

"Grandmaster realm!"

"This feeling... it's as if true qi has life. Perhaps it shouldn't be called true qi anymore... True strength, Gang qi, or perhaps True Gang?!"

"Actually, I prefer to call it magic power!"

"It's just that... it seems that in the Grandmaster realm, this power is still called true qi."

"This feeling—is it only me who has this feeling, or do other Grandmasters have this feeling too, but didn't pay attention to it, so it's still called true qi? After all, it's just a name."

"Or perhaps... they didn't discover it?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng frowned, recalling some martial arts insights he had seen, but he didn't seem to see any clues.

"Forget it, I'll ask Master when I have the chance later."

"For now, let me sense this power well..."

Li Li Li Zhangsheng closed his eyes, circulated the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Dao," and sensed it carefully.

"So this is the Quanzhen Sect?! It is said that Wang Wang Wang Chongyang is heavily injured and not long for this world, and it is very likely that he is already dead... I wonder if it's true?!"

"Regardless of whether it's true, it's good to have these martial artists test it out."

A man in his thirties, wearing a light yellow brocade robe and holding a folding fan, dressed like a noble young master, chuckled.

He looked into the distance. At the foot of Mount Zhongnan, hundreds to nearly a thousand martial artists gathered, and then, dense as a long dragon, they headed toward the Quanzhen Sect. Shouts of killing rose everywhere, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Wang Wang Wang Chongyang wants to break through to the Land Immortal realm, but he was ambushed by the Jin State's National Preceptor Pufeng and the Western Venom Ouyang Feng, leading dozens of Jin State royal retainers, and was left heavily injured and dying..."

"But just over a month ago, spies reported that a strong expert broke into Quanzhen, both sides fought fiercely, and in the end, he was suspected to have died..."

A man who was quite tall, broad-shouldered, and looked extremely refined, spoke gently.

The man in his thirties saw this, restrained his smile, and his attitude was quite respectful, as if he were bowing and listening.

On the other side of the refined man, a middle-aged Tibetan monk in a red robe, wearing a golden crown, with a gaunt appearance, smiled foolishly.

But just then, the refined man changed the subject, "This Quanzhen Sect is located at the intersection of the Great Great Yuan, Jin, and Song states, and although Wang Wang Wang Chongyang is a Heaven and Man martial artist, he leans toward the Song State."

"With his strength to fight an army alone, as long as he is here for one day, plus the containment of the Jin State, my Great Great Great Yuan cannot wholeheartedly attack the Song State."

"Therefore, if Wang Wang Wang Chongyang is dead, then so be it; but if Wang Wang Wang Chongyang is not dead, then our goal this time is to make him die!"

The refined man waved his hand gently. In his seemingly delicate manner, an unprecedented, unparalleled dominance was revealed, "This time, Wang Wang Wang Chongyang will definitely die, and no one can save him!"

"I said it!"
