In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The Zhongnan Mountain was covered with dense forests. Under the trickling water, Jun Yue sat on a huge smooth rock at the back of the mountain and cultivated the inner energy of the Taoist.
Jun Yue's inner force was like a small river flowing in his body, and a purple color appeared on his face from time to time.
Third level!
In just a month, Jun Yue had already entered the third stage. This was definitely not because Jun Yue was anxious for success, but because he had been suppressing it with all his might.
When others started to cultivate their internal energy, it would only take them two hours a day. But on the third day, Jun Yue discovered that as long as he held the Monarch Sword, he would be able to circulate the genuine Qi in his body with a single thought.
In this way, while others cultivated for two hours a day, he cultivated for a day.
Most importantly, it would be good enough for others to keep 30% of the results of their cultivation in a day, but he could keep all of it. No, it was several times the results of others 'cultivation in a day.
Jun Yue's foundation wasn't unstable at all. In fact, it was very solid.
Of course, when Ma Yu asked, Jun Yue only told him that he had just reached the second level. But this also shocked Ma Yu
. After all, Jun Yue was not Guo Jing. He had the foundation of internal energy. Jun Yue had started from zero. In a month, he had gone from an ordinary person with no foundation to a third-class 'expert'. This was definitely a fast improvement.
In terms of swordsmanship, Jun Yue had also reached a high level. If he hadn't spent most of his time cultivating his internal energy, he might have already reached the acme of perfection.
The Quanzhen Sword Technique was very exquisite, but it was only about the same as the Xiyi Sword Technique.
However, the Xiyi Sword Art was even more exquisite in Jun Yue's hands. It was because he could not see it and it was called Yi, but he could hear it and it was called Xi. The Xiyi Sword Art might not be as magical as the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, but it was more profound and endless. Of
course, even Jun Yue's current sword art was already on the same level as the Seven Sons of Quanzhen. At least, the sword art that Jun Yue saw Ma Yu demonstrate was similar to his own. However,
when Jun Yue demonstrated it, he would reserve 70%, only 30%.
The wind struck the bird that stuck its head out. He was already a genius now. If he was a bit more monstrous, hehehe…At that time, not only would he be suppressed internally, but outsiders might also kill him completely before he fully matured!
After all, Jun Yue was not a fresh college student. He had been through decades of hardships. In the past ten years, he had been reading books and learning other things besides practicing martial arts.
More importantly, Jun Yue understood that this was a more chaotic world than before. In this chaotic world, he needed to make some plans.
Moreover, the Quanzhen mental cultivation method was special. The orthodox Taoism was not as simple as it sounded. This internal energy might not be as sharp as those absolute arts, but when he was circulating the cultivation technique while reading, he could actually memorize all the contents of those Daoist scriptures after reading them two or three times. In fact, understanding
and memorizing all the Daoist scriptures were completely different concepts.
In the end, he even had a photographic memory. Even Jun Yue was shocked by this ability.
In ten years, Jun Yue's temperament had changed!
Over the years, Jun Yue had been reading and cultivating in the Daoist Canon. In many people's eyes, Jun Yue was a true Daoist cultivator.
However, Jun Yue would always win the championship every year with his sword.
In the eyes of the others, Jun Yue was like a senior brother who had both ability and talent. Jun Yue had saved everyone's face. At the very least, everyone was defeated by Jun Yue. There were third-rate and second-rate people among them. Without a doubt, everyone could tell that Jun Yue was giving them good advice.
"Zhijing, you have now entered the seventh level of the Quanzhen mental cultivation method, right?”
Looking at Jun Yue, Ma Yu looked at the young man who was standing tall in front of him. He looked like a young man in his early twenties. He was able to enter the seventh stage before he was thirty. This was definitely beyond their imagination.
It had to be known that they had only entered Perfected Chong Yang's tutelage not long ago.
Currently, most of the seven sons of Quan Zhen Sect were at the peak of the seventh level. Only Qiu Chuji had entered the eighth level.
Although the master did not have to be virtuous, and the disciple did not have to be inferior to the master, Ma Yu still felt great pressure from such a disciple.
"Not bad, disciple has already entered the seventh level!”
Jun Yue looked at Ma Yu. He was not at the seventh level, but at the peak of the ninth level. He was only one step away from the tenth level.
All these years of cultivation, Jun Yue had only managed to cover up the fact that he had reached the seventh stage. He had been stuck at the peak of the ninth stage for half a year, and it was only a matter of a month before he reached the tenth stage.
In the past ten years, Jun Yue had not only cultivated the Quanzhen Heart Technique, but his innate Gang Qi had also entered the Small Success realm.
One had to know that this time, he wasn't able to open all of his meridians. Thus, this innate earth energy wasn't completed in a short period of time. It was just like the Heaven and Earth Great Shift. Zhang Wuji's cultivation wasn't much higher than Yang Dingtian's, but he was able to cultivate to the seventh level entirely because his conception and governor meridians were connected.
It was the same for Jun Yue. His innate Gang Qi now was because he needed to open his meridians step by step. Otherwise, he would have already reached the great success stage and entered the innate realm.
"Zhijing, you're the fastest among our third generation disciples, and also the most talented. Even Patriarch Chong Yang might not be able to catch up to you. However, you have to remember that when the moon is full, you will lose money. Don't be proud and complacent. Otherwise, this Quan Zhen mental cultivation method might stagnate!”
"Disciple understands, haste makes waste!”
"Yes, it's good that you understand. Your foundation is very solid now, and I'm very confident in your progress. This time, I have something for you to do.”
"Please instruct me, Master."
Looking at Jun Yue, Ma Yu knew that Jun Yue had also been studying the Taoist classics all these years. This was what he valued most about Jun Yue. He had not been blinded by power.
"A few days ago, your Martial Uncle Qiu's disciple, Zhiping, went to the northern desert and met a few old friends who made a bet with your Martial Uncle Qiu. "Back then, your Martial Uncle Qiu and the Grand Elders were friends who had fought each other. The Jiangnan Seven Devils are also chivalrous people. After all, they fought with your Martial Uncle. Go to the desert and help him as much as you can. If that child's temperament is good, it doesn't matter even if he teaches me the Quan Zhen Heart Technique!”
"Yes, teacher!"
Jun Yue naturally knew what Ma Yu meant. He also knew who that person was. He didn't expect Ma Yu to hand over this responsibility to him.
It was true. The Jiangnan Seven's kung fu was considered second-rate in Jianghu, and their ability to teach disciples was even third-rate.
"Yes, I will also be in seclusion to break through to the eighth level.”
Looking at Ma Yu's expression, Jun Yue suddenly had a thought. He took out a book from his pocket and said,
"Master, I found this by accident in the Daoist Canon. It's Patriarch Chong Yang's Innate Skill manual!"”
Xiantian technique!
Hearing Jun Yue's words, even Ma Yu, who had reached a very high level of Dao Heart, was shocked to see the secret manual in Jun Yue's hand. This was the legendary number one divine skill in the world.
No, there seemed to be a Nine Yin Manual that could suppress this Xiantian technique.
However, not to mention Wang Chongyang's rule that Quan Zhen Sect was not allowed to cultivate the Nine Yin Mantra, even the third generation disciples would not have heard of it if Jun Yue did not know about it.
"Where did you get this Xiantian skill from?”
"I found it in the Daoist Canon. This Xiantian technique is hidden in the Daoist Canon. Only by reading through the Daoist Canon can one find the secret manual of this Xiantian technique. I found it three months ago. I've been cultivating for a period of time in the past few months and feel that it's real.”
Of course, what he cultivated was innate qi. As for the innate technique, although it was several times stronger than the Quanzhen mental cultivation method and could be said to be an enhanced version of the Quanzhen mental cultivation method, it was like flying and walking.
He flew fast, but he also lost the true essence of Taoism. Zhang Sanfeng created the Pure Yang Limitless Technique based on one-third of the Nine Yang Divine Technique. Perhaps it was not as domineering and powerful as the Nine Yang Divine Technique, but it might not be inferior to the Nine Yang Divine Technique in depth.
The disadvantage of the Quanzhen Heart Technique was that it was slow, which was not important to Jun Yue.
After all, Jun Yue was already at the peak of the ninth level, and he was on the same level as Qiu Qianren in the Jianghu. If he added the sword light, he would not be inferior to the top masters in the Jianghu. This was enough for Jun Yue.
"Zhijing, it looks like I'm still not as good as you!”
This was not only a difference in power, but also in mental state. After Wang Chongyang's death, the Xiantian skill was lost. They thought that the Xiantian skill had really disappeared with Wang Chongyang. Now they understood that it was not that the Xiantian skill had disappeared, but that they had paid too much attention to strength and neglected the study of the Taoist Canon.
If they had studied the Daoist Canon, they might have already found this Xiantian technique. However, for the sake of the Quan Zhen Sect's reputation, they spent all their time cultivating instead of studying the Daoist Canon. Even the disciples who joined the sect were here for the Quan Zhen Sect's authentic martial arts.
"The Xiantian Art is the supreme art of Patriarch Chong Yang that shocked the world. Back then, even when he was pretending to be dead, he did not pass it down. It seems that we have been wrong all these years and have let down Patriarch Chong Yang's painstaking efforts. The state of mind is the most important in pursuing the Dao. This Xiantian technique can be said to be a sharp sword. The sword has two sides. It can hurt the enemy and hurt oneself. At that time, our state of mind was not enough, so Master did not pass it down!”
"With such a great reputation, the Quan Zhen Sect's burden is all on the shoulders of the few Uncle-Masters.”
"At the end of the day, we've been too arrogant. Zhijing, I'll gather your martial uncle to discuss this Xiantian technique. You should prepare for the next few days and leave in three days.”
"Yes, Master!"
Jun Yue nodded. He didn't have many things to prepare. Basically, he only had a sword and a few clothes to change into. He didn't have any big or small bags.
