Chapter 903: Martial Immortal!

Liang Qu looked at the glass cylinder within the tentacles.

He knew starfish.

Echinoderms.

Their biggest characteristic is that they grow in all sorts of strange ways.

Inside the glass cylinder, there was a core in the center, and seven large tentacles of different thickness and length spread out from it. Outside the seven large tentacles, more small tentacles spread out like tree branches, and then branched again, complex and irregular, endless.

"Are there any Great Demon-level Vine Star Fish in the sea?"

"I haven't heard of any. Most Vine Star Fish have low intelligence and survive on instinct. Few can grow up, and spirit monsters are also rare. Moreover, their strength is a big chunk worse than those of the same realm, and they are almost unable to hunt actively."

"Then has the Shopkeeper heard of Lord Net in the Jianghuai Great Marsh?"

The Sea Shopkeeper was quick-witted and understood immediately: "Is the snake tribe's Lord Net a Vine Star Fish?"

"Eight or nine out of ten."

"Since the Jiaolong moved into the Dragon Palace, we sea merchants have stopped going to the Eastern Domain. First, the Jiaolong doesn't allow it, and second, there is no profit. To think they actually raised a Great Demon-level Vine Star Fish?" The Sea Shopkeeper was quite surprised.

"Does the Vine Star Fish have the ability to separate tentacles like the Eight-Clawed King to obtain information?"

"It has more than that. If a Vine Star Fish becomes a spirit monster, it can separate secondary sub-bodies like sowing seeds, and the secondary sub-bodies can be deduced by analogy, gradually spreading into a carpet. Even if they are separated and not connected, as long as a small tentacle is broken off and brought into contact with other cores, it can know everything."

Whoosh!

Parting the clouds to see the blue sky!

Liang Qu's heart jumped, and he suddenly understood the cause and effect.

No wonder the old monk warned him not to "transform" when he went to the Eastern Water Domain. Probably most of the Eastern Water Domain had been planted with sub-bodies by "Lord Net," all under its control!

As long as he transformed.

The fact that he and the White Ape were wearing the same pair of pants would definitely be exposed!

The Vine Star Fish is essentially like weeds, living between rock crevices; usually, no fish would notice it at all.

Using golden eyes to control so many fish and searching for a month without any news shows this.

"Could the Ghost Mother Sect's base be hidden in the Eastern Water Domain?"

"In the past, the Jianghuai court thought the Ghost Mother Sect's base was hidden in the Southern Domain. Actually, from the very beginning, was that a wrong judgment?"

"The several branches in the Southern Domain were also insignificant branches that were abandoned from the start?"

Liang Qu became more and more shocked as he thought about it.

Even relying on Lord Net's intelligence, as long as someone sets foot in the Eastern Water Domain, they are completely transparent in the eyes of the Ghost Mother Sect, standing in an invincible position!

You chase, I flee.

What they are fighting is an intelligence war!

In an instant, countless thoughts crossed his mind like shooting stars.

Whoosh.

Bubbles surged, and two red great treasure fish were stuffed into his bosom, jumping around.

"Shopkeeper, you this..."

"Happy New Year, a wedding gift for Little Water."

Liang Qu was stunned: "How did the Shopkeeper know I was already married..."

"Seven-star blood spots, great for nourishing vitality."

Liang Qu's old face flushed.

The azure tentacles gently patted his head.

"Little Water must be good to Long Eying, don't eat her."

"Vine Star Fish, Basket Snake Tail..."

In the study, King Xu Yue frowned and paced.

"The Jiaolong actually raised such a Great Demon in its old nest?"

Liang Qu cupped his hands: "The above are all the student's guesses. Whether it is or not, it still needs someone capable to investigate and decide."

He returned from the Sea Shopkeeper, and Zhang Xu had finished interrogating the big snakes. Unfortunately, the intelligence obtained from Blue Hui and Chi Lin was not as much as what he got from the Sea Shopkeeper.

The several big snakes only knew that Lord Net had great divine abilities and the ability to forge the body; they hadn't even seen it, all directly asking the Great Demons in the tribe for "meat seeds."

"Since the logic holds up, the probability of this matter is not less than 30%. Vine Star Fish... the world is full of wonders. I must immediately submit a report!"

Liang Qu immediately took down the ink stick from the bookshelf and added water to grind the ink.

The Ghost Mother Sect is undoubtedly a behemoth, with more than two hands of Grandmasters. He had no intention of facing it alone.

After writing.

King Xu Yue applied the fire lacquer and handed it to Housekeeper Zhang Xu for sealing.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Liang Qu continued the morning conversation: "The Teacher hasn't explained the three steps of Perfected Form yet."

"I remember." King Xu Yue didn't hide it, putting the brush into the brush washer. "The three steps for Perfected Form entering Sky Dragon: First, Heaven-Man Six Heyi."

"When you entered Hunting Tiger from Wolf Smoke, you once sat on Yan Yan Dongjun's Heaven Altar. You should have one or two points of understanding."

"Heaven-Man Six Heyi, every move and style has the rhyme of the Dao, which can be said to carry the momentum of heaven and earth, having the same effect as the True Gang Heterogeneous Image." Liang Qu nodded.

"Second, Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth."

"Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth?"

"Penetrating and severing the Heaven Soul, penetrating and severing the Earth Soul. Humans have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are 'Heaven Soul, Earth Soul, Human Soul,' anciently called 'Fetal Light, Refreshing Spirit, Dark Essence.'"

"The three souls survive in the spirit, so when a person dies, the souls return to three paths. The Heaven Soul returns to the Heaven Path, the Earth Soul returns to the Earth Mansion, and the Human Soul returns to the tomb. Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth means cutting off the cause and effect of the Heaven Soul and Earth Soul, so that they do not enter the Heaven Path, do not enter the Earth Mansion, and remain solid as one."

"Entering Perfected Form, living for three hundred years, this is divine longevity, not physical longevity, so after Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth, one can significantly extend longevity."

In one paragraph, two questions popped up in Liang Qu's head.

"Is there really a Heaven Path and an Earth Mansion in the world? If so, why did the Great Li Ancestor in the past rack his brains to kill the Mirage Dragon and recreate a pure land for eternity?"

King Xu Yue shook his head: "There is no Heaven Path, nor Earth Mansion in the world."

"Then why..."

"Is there any truth that runs through the beginning and the end in the world?"

Liang Qu pondered.

"The path of cultivation is not taught by gods, but passed down from generation to generation by the human race, from nothing to something. All names, all forms, all fruits, are nothing but summaries by predecessors and creations by successors. When a Jiang Zongshi dies, the spirit is muddled, clear and rising to dissipate, turbid and descending to dissolve. Neither clear nor turbid, wandering in the human world, becoming 'residue.' Predecessors called the place of rising the Heaven Path, and the place of descending the Earth Mansion."

Liang Qu understood.

The predecessors of cultivation defined the "destination." A table is called a table because people call it a table.

Unknowns are assumed to be x.

He asked the second question.

"According to the Teacher, wouldn't a Heaven-Man Jiang Zongshi who has taken the second step be able to live for eight hundred years?"

King Xu Yue shook his head: "A third-realm Perfected Form practitioner who takes the second step can indeed extend longevity. If the physical body is well maintained, they can live for more than four hundred, or even five hundred years. At this time, divine longevity is sufficient, but physical longevity is insufficient, so one needs to take the third step, knocking open the Heaven Pass, to add up to eight hundred."

"What is the Heaven Pass?"

"Looking sideways at the Heaven Pass, the pavilion path is even more hazy. Heaven-Man Six Heyi, Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth, rounding into one, the barrier that exhausts the physical body and spirit to break through is the Heaven Pass. It is the pass to break the circle, the pass to break the extreme."

"As for what will be knocked out when knocking the Heaven Pass, it is different from person to person."

"In the past, the Dragon-Elephant Wu Sheng knocked open five Heaven Passes of blood, flesh, bone, skin, and tendon, and five great demons surged out. He killed them one by one, and his physical body became holy."

"The Vajra Bright King knocked out the Angry-Eyed Vajra, obtained the Bright King Body, and obtained the Arhat status."

"Is there more than one Heaven Pass?"

"One theory, depending on the person, has nothing to do with quality."

"Phew."

Liang Qu spat out a mouthful of turbid air, his mind shocked, silently digesting the advanced version of the three steps.

Heaven-Man Six Heyi, Penetrating Heaven and Severing Earth, knocking open the Heaven Pass.

It sounds extremely difficult.

"Teacher, is there a Wu Sheng in the Ghost Mother Sect now?"

"Probably one or two self-slashing Martial Saints."

"Self-castration?"

"Almost. Throwing a stone to see ripples; if the stone doesn't move, it's hard to have ripples, but the water still moves. If it moves, there are undercurrents. To avoid being discovered by the outside world, they abandoned some things and completely hid."

Some things...

Liang Qu felt the consequences wouldn't be simple; otherwise, everyone would have abandoned them and worked secretly.

"The student has one small question."

"Ask." King Xu Yue sipped his tea. "I have time today, I'll answer all of them for you in one go."

"Perfected Form Venerables are called Grandmasters, martial arts reach the peak, founding sects, claiming to be ancestors. Sky Dragon Venerables are called Martial Saints. Saints, penetrating, Dao, sound. One sect, one saint, all can see the leopard through the tube. Since this is the case, above Dragon-Elephant, the Dao of the Melting Pot, what should it be called?"

"Heh, for no reason... you've come into contact with the fruit of the position? Looking forward so high?" King Xu Yue put down the teacup and smiled lightly.

"Ambition is the commander of Qi, ambition is sharp, Qi is self-employed." Liang Qu picked up the pot to pour tea. As he spoke, his eyes shone brightly. "The student is curious in his heart. Perfected Form is a guest in the four directions, Sky Dragon can be crowned King, what kind of demeanor should the Melting Pot have?"

"Above Wu Sheng, self-called Martial Immortal."

"Ambition is the commander of Qi; when ambition is sharp, Qi serves it." Liang Qu lifted the pot to pour tea, his eyes shining brightly as he spoke, "The student is curious: a Perfected Form is a guest of honor in all directions, a Dragon of the Sky can be crowned king, but what kind of demeanor should a Melting Furnace have?"

"Above the Wu Sheng, one calls oneself a Martial Immortal."
