This Cheng Tianfeng is a personal disciple of the Great Zhen's National Preceptor.
And the Great Zhen's National Preceptor is the master of Wentian Cliff.
Wentian Cliff holds a detached position in Great Zhen. Although it has few disciples, its martial arts and mental cultivation methods are profound, and each disciple is a great expert.
Chu Zhiyuan listened with awe.
Without asking, one knows that the master of this Wentian Cliff must be a Grandmaster, probably surpassing Chu Qingfeng.
I really have to be careful.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Third Brother, does the Surveillance Division have detailed information on Cheng Tianfeng? I want to see it all."
"No problem, I will inform the Imperial Grandfather." Chu Zhiyao nodded solemnly: "Otherwise, let's go see the Imperial Grandfather together... Oh right, Fourth Brother, you haven't met the Imperial Grandfather yet, have you?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
Chu Zhiyao said, "Your aptitude is so amazing, the Imperial Grandfather will definitely like you. This time there's an opportunity to meet the Imperial Grandfather."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Without the Imperial Grandfather's decree, it's not appropriate for me to meet him."
It's impossible that news of me hasn't reached the Emperor's ears. He created the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art, and I've mastered it, yet he remains indifferent, which shows his attitude.
But he has a fundamental difference from the people of this world, which is that he was reincarnated.
The concepts of his previous life come first, and first impressions are strongest. The concepts formed over these twenty years cannot completely shake some of the basic concepts of his previous life.
Also, the existence of Precognition gives him great confidence.
He doesn't feel lost or resentful because of Chu Qingquan's neglect, nor does he have an urgent desire to gain Chu Qingquan's favor.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it's of course the opposite.
Which imperial son or grandson doesn't want to please Chu Qingquan and gain his favor?
In any case, cultivation comes first.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and no one can say anything about it.
After seeing Chu Zhiyao off, the four returned to the house and sat down again. Chu Mingxuan picked up his wine glass and looked at Chu Zhiyuan apologetically: "Fourth Brother, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have dragged you here."
He now understood.
It seemed like he had set a trap for Chu Zhiyuan.
Accepting the challenge from the Great Zhen's heir is certainly a great achievement, but the risk is equally high, especially after hearing that Cheng Tianfeng is a disciple of the Great Zhen's National Preceptor and the master of Wentian Cliff, he felt even more uncertain.
If he had known about Cheng Tianfeng's master beforehand, he would have advised Chu Zhiyuan not to take on this task.
People have different degrees of closeness.
New acquaintances may grow old together, while old friends may drift apart like strangers. The depth of friendship between people is not determined by time.
His relationship with Chu Zhiyao is also good, but because of Chu Zhiyao's temperament, it's not as close as his relationship with Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Eighteenth Uncle, Third Brother and I will eventually have a match to determine the candidate to respond to Great Zhen's challenge. There's no avoiding it."
Among the heirs, there are only three at the Innate Realm. In theory, Chu Zhiyao, who entered the Innate Realm earlier, is better.
But I've mastered the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art, showing stronger aptitude and overwhelming combat performance.
For the sake of stability, they will definitely arrange a match between me and Chu Zhiyao to see who is stronger and choose the challenger.
Now it's just a step ahead.
So he finally agreed.
Stretching out your head is one slash, and shrinking back your head is also one slash. It's better to take the initiative and get more support and praise.
"Fourth Brother, you'll be fine!" Chu Zhiting said, "That Cheng Tianfeng is definitely not your opponent!"
Chu Zhichuan nodded.
Having mastered the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art, the Great Snow Mountain Sword Art, and the inheritance of the Taiqing Yuan Sect, it's hard to imagine who could defeat such a monster.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, don't praise me to death. No one knows what trump cards Cheng Tianfeng has. Since he dares to challenge, he must be confident."
"... That's true."
The two looked solemn.
---
A bright moon hangs in the night sky.
The dark night sky is dotted with stars.
A few sparse dark clouds are reflected into silver scales by the moonlight.
In a residence not far from Hou Tu Hall, Chu Zhiyuan sat quietly on the bed. The window was open, and the cold night wind blew into the room, but he was unaware.
The true qi of the Great Purple Sun Art circulated within his body, extremely strong, extremely yang, and extremely pure, eliminating the cold air and chill.
Admiring the slanting moon outside the window, his mood became more peaceful and serene.
His left palm held a golden pill, which was the Marrow Cleansing Pill he had exchanged for.
The Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill is crimson, but this Marrow Cleansing Pill is golden, pure and bright like gold, giving people a sense of heaviness.
He felt a pressure in his palm holding it.
The refining method of this Marrow Cleansing Pill is wonderful, able to completely contain the medicinal fragrance without dispersing it. It doesn't use wax pills to seal it, which shows how powerful it is.
Taking a deep breath, wisps of medicinal fragrance penetrated his internal organs. If it weren't for Precognition, he wouldn't be able to smell a trace of medicinal fragrance.
Eight Dragon Binding Ropes were already floating within his twelve meridians.
When he first stepped into the fifth level, he could only condense seven Dragon Binding Ropes before his meridians couldn't bear the burden. Now he can condense eight.
This is the result of his cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Art during this period.
The eight Dragon Binding Ropes quietly stopped in the eight meridians, truly like eight dragons, ready to rush into the Ren and Du meridians at any time.
Eight Dragon Binding Ropes is already the limit. He prepared to strike the Jade Tower again.
If it doesn't work, the meridians may be injured. Then, he will take the opportunity to use the Great Snow Mountain Sword Art and the Horizon Within Reach Step, thereby adding injury upon injury, until the limit, and then refine the Dragon Transformation Art.
If it really doesn't work, there's still the Sovereign Earth Scripture.
"Boom..."
He heard the sound of a flood breaking through a dam, which was caused by the eight Dragon Binding Ropes rushing into the Du meridian and passing through the Jade Pillow.
His body shook violently, as if sitting on a turbulent boat.
The color of his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, until his face was as pale as paper.
But his eyes were piercingly bright.
He took a deep breath, drew his sword, jumped out of the window, disappeared in a flash in the air, and then appeared at the base of the wall ten feet away.
The long sword at his waist had turned into a shadow, as if a dozen swords were stabbing out at the same time.
After a while, he stopped abruptly.
He sheathed his sword and quickly took out the golden pill from his sleeve and put it in his mouth, assuming the Dragon Subduing Stance and starting to run the Dragon Transformation Art at full speed.
Every inch of his muscles seemed to be trembling, like a person with epilepsy having a seizure, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Even at this time, when his vision was turning black and he was about to faint, Precognition was still working.
Looking inward at all parts of his body, his meridians ached as if they were about to split apart, and he could faintly see cracks.
Meridians are condensed by Qi, but under Precognition, they are transparent pipes, real and not false.
These pipes are integrated with the body's vitality. Once the vitality disappears, the pipes disappear, and the Qi also disappears.
As seen by Precognition, the golden pill turned into a ball of Qi after combining with saliva, drilled into his stomach, and quickly spread out, spreading rapidly along his internal organs and meridians, covering his whole body.
As soon as the Dragon Transformation Art was activated, the Qi spreading throughout his body quickly converged, flowed along the path of the Dragon Transformation Art's mental cultivation method, quickly nourishing the meridians, repairing the meridians, and also expanding and strengthening the meridians.
This is the wonder of the Dragon Transformation Art.
It both repairs and expands and strengthens, so as not to add injury to injury.
At this time, the meridians were severely injured and unable to rebound, allowing the Dragon Transformation Art to expand and strengthen them, resulting in a cultivation effect that was dozens of times higher than usual.
The Qi transformed from the Marrow Cleansing Pill was exhausted by the Dragon Transformation Art after a quarter of an hour. He then put two Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pills in his mouth.
When the medicinal power of the two Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pills was also exhausted, he had no choice but to stop the Dragon Transformation Art.
At this time, the meridians were still in an injured state.
He formed hand seals, moved his lips, and at the same time observed the Earth Venerable Diagram.
The Earth Venerable statue in Hou Tu Hall lit up for a moment, and groups of yellow light fell far away onto his hands and feet, and were then driven by the Dragon Transformation Art to circulate within the meridians.
Wherever it went, the meridians quickly recovered.
After a cup of tea, the meridians were healed.
At this time, the meridians were completely renewed, two points stronger, and two points wider, able to accommodate more true Qi flowing.
He estimated that he could easily accommodate nine Dragon Binding Ropes.
He simply went all the way, first using the Heaven Origin Art to replenish the consumed spirit, and then began to condense Dragon Binding Ropes.
Condensing Dragon Binding Ropes takes a lot of time.
First, use the Qi Cleansing Art to cleanse the true Qi, and then condense it into Dragon Binding Ropes, completing one and then another, until nine.
At this time, the night had already passed, and the dawn was dawning.
He tried to break through the Jade Tower.
The result was unsuccessful.
Each level of the Jade Tower is more solid than the last.
For the fourth level of the Jade Tower, he only used eight Dragon Binding Ropes to break through, but for this fifth level of the Jade Tower, nine Dragon Binding Ropes could not break through.
Ten Dragon Binding Ropes should be able to break through at once, or nine Dragon Binding Ropes can impact several times, one after another, and eventually break through.
For the previous four levels of the Jade Tower, except for the first level, which was broken with one strike, the remaining three levels were experienced again and again.
He shook his head regretfully.
Just a little bit short. If he had one more Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill today, he would be able to condense ten Dragon Binding Ropes directly.
He suppressed his regret, looked up at the sky, and it was already too late to go to Mingwu Hall.
He returned to the palace to eat breakfast, then went to the Ministry of Rites to sign in, and then went to Tongtian Pavilion to inquire about information about Wentian Cliff.
There are many records of Wentian Cliff in Tongtian Pavilion.
At noon, he was about to return to the palace for lunch when he saw Chu Zhiyao waiting not far away as soon as he left the yamen.
