Time flew by like a snap of a finger. Ten years passed in a blink of an eye. It was the winter solstice. The snow was falling, and the entire Black Wind Mountain was covered in a layer of white light. A figure shot down from the mountain and stopped at the entrance of a cave. This person was Chang Tao. He was almost 15 years old now. He was a very handsome youth with a perfect figure. It was the effect of daily body training and puberty. His long black hair was flowing freely, and his face was sharp. Exquisite facial features, bright skin, a pair of phoenix eyes that were full of vigor, and a domineering aura. Xiao Hui had also transformed from a small grey bird into a bird with a bird's head and an eagle's body. It really was the name Changtao gave it,'Bird King and Eagle Honor'. Now, the little grey bird had a colorful feather on its head, and the tail of its eagle wings had the same feathers.
During Changtao's cultivation period, Xiao Hui often picked some unknown spiritual fruits for Changtao. After eating them, it could increase his power and strengthen his body. When Changtao was bored, he would take Xiao Hui to find cheetahs to train his body. Sometimes, Xiao Hui would peck ordinary cheetahs to death with his beak even without Changtao's help. Changtao had stayed in this Black Wind Mountain for 10 years and had never seen a bird that looked exactly like Xiao Hui.
Changtao's master Zhenren Zhang didn't know what kind of bird Xiao Hui belonged to. Changtao would find Xiao Hui to play when he had nothing to do or when training was very stressful. Although they couldn't communicate with each other verbally, after 10 years of getting along, they were able to reach a mutual understanding.
They were basically inseparable, staying together day and night. Sometimes, Changtao would tell Xiao Hui when he missed home. When Xiao Hui knew that Changtao was in a bad mood, he would automatically fly to Changtao's shoulder and peck Changtao's face.
In the past ten years, Changtao rarely saw his master. Because his master needed to heal his wounds, Changtao found a place to cultivate in the forest and didn't go to his master's place often. Xiao Hui spent every day with him. Chang Tao often said to Xiao Hui,"If only you could talk or transform into a human like what master said, then we brothers could talk and live together.”
Walking into the cave, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a rock. His whole body was covered in a faint purple light. He was Changtao's master, Immortal Zhang, who had been healing his wounds in this cave for almost ten years.
"Master, I've finally reached the Upper Sky Dacheng stage." Chang Tao said happily.”
Perfected Zhang slowly opened his eyes. A bright light swept through them, and then he nodded and said,"Very good. You're very talented. You only used ten years to reach the Xiantian Dacheng stage. Truly amazing! You must continue to work hard, understand?"
"Master, I'm a genius!" Chang Tao nodded. This small matter was nothing. Haha…"
Perfected Zhang's gaze immediately turned sharp as he shouted,"You must be neither arrogant nor arrogant. There are people like you everywhere in the cultivation world, don't be complacent. You have to be humble, okay?"
"Master, you're right. I'll remember it." Chang Tao nodded. Master, have you recovered from your injuries?"
Perfected Zhang said lovingly," My injuries have all healed. You don't have to worry. You must cultivate well, understand?"”
"En, I understand, Master." Don't worry, hurry up and give me the cultivation method for the gold yuan stage. I can't wait."
Perfected Zhang said," You can't be too hasty on the path of cultivation. Everything has to go with the flow, and you can't be too hasty. Otherwise, you'll develop inner demons, and it'll be very easy for you to go berserk. Then, the gains won't make up for the losses, understand? Remember!"
"I will cultivate with my feet on the ground and grow bit by bit."”
Perfected Zhang said,"I'm relieved to hear that. The path of cultivation is not about whether you cultivate diligently or not. It depended on how deep one's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was. Even immortals had to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and nature. If he comprehended the entire path of the Heavenly Dao, then this person would be invincible. Those who could completely understand the Heavenly Dao were the rulers of this universe, did you know that?”
"Master, what is the Heavenly Dao?" Changtao asked. How do I understand and comprehend it?"
Perfected Zhang said,"Everyone has a different understanding of the Heavenly Dao. To be honest, I don't know what the Heavenly Dao is exactly either. I think it should be following the laws of nature. However, that was not the correct Heavenly Dao. When you cultivate, your thoughts enter a universe. This universe should be the door to the Heavenly Dao. How you want to understand it is up to you. No one else could help you, and you couldn't ask for their opinion. Because people with different thoughts had different ways of understanding the Heavenly Dao! You have to understand it according to your own understanding, understand?”
"Yes!" Changtao said. I understand, Master. I either don't do it, or I do it to the best of my ability.”
Master Zhang said,"Master believes in you." Oh! Oh, right. Now that you're about to reach the gold element stage, you can't use my flying sword anymore. I'll give you a flying sword now.”As soon as he finished speaking, Perfected Zhang waved his hands, and a green light flew out from his fingers. It appeared one meter away from Changtao.
This sword was three feet and three inches long, and green light flowed on the body of the sword. It gave off a murderous aura! Perfected Zhang held the flying sword in his hand and said slowly,""This flying sword was forged by a weapon craftsman after I chanced upon a piece of azure diamond. Take it. First, you have to drip your blood on it to make it recognize you as its owner. Only then can it become one with the flying sword, and you can do it as you wish. Look, it's like this. After saying that, Perfected Zhang moved his finger, and the flying sword entered his body. Then, with a flip of his hand, the flying sword appeared again.”
Chang Tao nodded and said,"No wonder every time I use your flying sword to cultivate, I always find that this sword can't maximize my attack." I thought it was because my cultivation was not enough. I can't control this sword! It turns out that Master has already recognized you as his master." Chang Tao looked as if he suddenly realized something and continued,"Then, Master, how can I make this flying sword recognize me as its master? Also, what if I want to use someone else's weapon and this weapon already has an owner?”
Perfected Zhang said,"A cultivator's weapon is not like a mortal's weapon. You can use it just by taking it. If you want other self-cultivators 'weapons, you only have two choices. The first was that this person took the initiative to withdraw his spiritual sense from the sword. The second was to kill this person and seize the weapon.”
"En, I understand, Master." Changtao nodded. Then, did you take back your spiritual sense from this sword?”
Perfected Zhang said,"I've already taken it back. Now, I'll give you this Green Wind Slash." In the future, you can use this sword handle first. When you need to use it, you can use your spiritual sense to summon it. When you don't need to use it, you can put it back into your body. I have already recovered from my injuries. A few days ago, your big brother used his holy sense to send me a message saying that in five years. He wants to send troops to the Zhang family. I have to go back and help him deal with some trivial matters. Are you going back with me?"
"Master, I want to cultivate here first. After five years, I'll go back and help big brother destroy the Zhang family." That was also the oath I made in front of my father's grave! Therefore, I have to cultivate here as soon as possible.”
Perfected Zhang said,"Don't let revenge affect your mind and cause your cultivation progress. Oh, right, before you leave, this is for you. Perfected Zhang took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and gave it to Changtao. He then said," This is the Essence Cultivating Pill. It can help you cultivate your Qi and make your spiritual aura purer. You only need to take one pill at the beginning stage of the Gold Ingot Realm, three pills at the middle stage, and five pills at the later stage. When your cultivation reaches the Gold Ingot Realm, this Essence Cultivating Pill won't be of much use anymore. You can give the rest to your family." I'll go back first. See you in five years. Remember to focus on your cultivation. I can help you find out what kind of bird Xiao Hui is."
Changtao said,"En, I understand, Master. Don't worry and go back. I will work hard and won't let you down. Xiao Hui is here with me, so you have to take care."
Perfected Zhang said,"En, a cultivator's lifespan is very long, and if you practice it to the highest level, it will be even longer. As for me, you don't have to worry about me. I'm leaving. Perfected Zhang flies on his sword and quickly shoots in the direction of the Wu family."
Chang Tao looked at his master's shadow getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared. He said to Xiao Hui,"Now it's just the two of us left. I have to cultivate well. When you're bored, go out and play, okay?”。
Xiao Hui nodded his head and pecked at Chang Tao's face. The two of them started playing. When they were tired, Chang Tao entered a state of cultivation. Xiao Hui stood there obediently, guarding him.
In a cave in Black Wind Mountain, there was a figure with a faint purple light shining all over his body. He sat cross-legged on the ground. This person was Chang Tao, who had cultivated to the Metal Origin Stage. Suddenly, the figure moved slightly, and a spiritual sense was transmitted to his mind.
It turned out that his master, Perfected Zhang, had sent it to him. Perfected Zhang said,"I want him to rush back to the clan immediately because we're going to attack the Zhang clan on the first day of next month."
Chang Tao replied,"Master, how long have I been here since you left?"”
Perfected Zhang replied,"It has been more than four and a half years since I left.”
Changtao shouted loudly,"Oh my god, I've used 'three years' to meditate this time. Hurry up and check the result of this secluded cultivation." He checked his body with his spiritual consciousness and found that his gold coins had expanded greatly. According to the cultivation method left by his master, it proved that he had reached the late stage of gold coins. Changtao told this news to Immortal Zhang excitedly.
Perfected Zhang was very shocked when he heard that. He said to Changtao,"Oh my god, you're really a genius. It took me 150 years to reach the Dacheng stage of Jinyuan from the Houtian stage, but you only took a little more than 14 years. You're really a miracle in the cultivation world. Take five Peiyuan Pills to consolidate your current power.”
Chang Tao said," Okay, I will take it immediately. I will go back in five days. Master, tell my big brother to wait for me to go back before sending troops. This time, I will definitely destroy the Zhang family."”
Today was the first day of the third lunar month. It was drizzling. As the saying goes, spring rain was as precious as oil. 200,000 strong soldiers were standing in the military training factory of Wu Clan in neat formations with high fighting spirit. They were all dressed neatly, which gave a shocking feeling. On the high platform in front of the army, 6 people were standing in turn, namely clan head Wu Changjiang, navy commander Wu Changbo, Wang Junshi, land commander Zhang Qiang and Zhang Hailong, Zhang Zhenren, the head of the Worship Palace. As well as Reverend Wu Changtao of the Worship Hall.
The sun hung high up in the sky, shining on the land and emitting a strong light. It was close to noon. The chief stood on the high platform with two flags in his hands and said loudly,"My people, today is a special day. Because today, we will leave our hometown and head to the territory of Zhang Clan. We will exterminate Zhang Clan and avenge the father of the previous clan head, Changtao. On this grand day, I swear that if I don't exterminate Zhang Clan or avenge the old clan head, I, Wu Changjiang, will commit suicide to thank my people.”
After hearing the clan elder's fierce words, all the soldiers couldn't help but shout,"If we don't destroy Zhang Clan, we will not return! If we don't destroy Zhang Clan, we will not return!" The clan elder threw a glance at the soldiers below as he raised his hand and said,"It's the auspicious time! Let's go!" Closely after that, the main troop marched towards Zhang Clan.
One month later, Wu Clan set up their military camp 500 m away from Zhang Clan's city gate. They were going to declare war on Zhang Clan tomorrow. There was an original high tent in the middle of the tent, where the important members of the clan rested and held meetings.
As the sky gradually turned dark, patrolling soldiers walked back and forth in the camp. A deep voice sounded from the big tent in the middle,"Someone, someone!" The soldier outside the tent heard the voice and walked inside. The moment he entered, he found that the clan head was calling for people. The soldier knelt down in front of the clan head and asked,"Clan head, what's your order?"
The clan leader looked at the young soldier in front of him and said,"Hurry up and get General Wang and General Zhang here. Tell them I want to have a meeting.”
"Yes, Patriarch, I'll do it immediately."
In less than 10 minutes, all the important personnel entered the tent in turn. The six people in the tent sat in order. The chief first asked Wang Jun what the spy had reported and whether there was any valuable information.。
"A spy reported that the Zhang family has a small group of cultivators. There are about 20 of them, but their cultivations are between the Xiantian stage and the Jinyuan stage. I think Perfected Zhang and the Third Young Master can deal with them."”
The patriarch turned to look at Perfected Zhang, asking for his opinion.
Perfected Zhang said,"No problem, Changtao and I can easily deal with 20 people who haven't even reached the gold yuan stage. You can leave this to me, because the difference between cultivators of one level is equivalent to the difference of 100,000 miles."
The chief said,"If that's the case, I'll be at ease." He then asked,"Is there any other special news besides this?" The others shook their heads. The chief continued,"For safety's sake, we'll arrange some warriors to surround Zhang Clan City tomorrow to prevent any fish from escaping." Everyone nodded at the same time.
When the Wu family was making the battle plan, the Zhang family was also having a meeting. The new chief of the Zhang family was the eldest son of the old chief, Zhang Tianba. There were five people in the meeting, namely, chief Zhang Tianba, navy commander Zhang Liang, army commander Zhang Yang, Li Junshi and cultivation team captain Gao Feng. Gao Feng had just reached the early stage of Jinyuan in recent years. The chief of the Zhang family valued Gao Feng very much because all the masters of his Worship Palace had been sacrificed in the 15-year war. This was also the reason why the head of Zhang Clan didn't have the confidence to fight the Heng Clan head-on. However, it was better now because he had more than 20 cultivation experts. Although there was a great difference in strength between them, it was reasonable that two fists couldn't fight four hands. When cultivators fought, they would fight with endurance and see whose battle strength was more profound. The clan head of Zhang Clan was conceitedly imagining how his own cultivators would tire Hermit Zhang to death tomorrow. However, he didn't know that Changtao, the third son of Wu Clan had already reached the level of his master. If the clan head of Zhang Clan knew that, he would not be so optimistic anymore. A great battle that had been separated for 15 years was about to break out. Who would win this battle?
