The annual meeting of the four great clans was held as scheduled. This was one of the most important events of the year in Tianchu. It was chosen in the middle of April, when the weather was warm and cool. People in Jianghu called it the "April Festival".
The four great families usually fought openly and secretly, but on this day, they would only sit down and eat a meal in harmony.
Although it was just a meal, people with discerning eyes could see the trick. The four families would send out their elites on this day. People of similar levels would gather at a table and secretly cheer to show their strength.
So don't underestimate this meal. It was very likely that it would determine the direction of the martial arts world for the next year. As long as you participate in it, even if you are just a gatekeeper, you will have the strength of a Rank-3. Not to mention those who could attend.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders was established based on the cultivation of Celestial Chi. Three Talents, Four Appearances, Five Souls, Six Paths, Seven Protections, and Eight Directions. These six realms represented the size of one's strength. Within the six realms, they were further divided into several levels. For example, there were three levels in Sancai and four levels in Sixiang.
The higher the realm, the harder it was to cultivate, and the difference in strength would be like heaven and earth. As for the eight directions above, there were even gods that had never been seen before.
The three talents were the compulsory stages for every disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It was also known as the Three Talents of Entry, namely, the method of light body was to run; Body strengthening techniques were meant to withstand beatings, and the strength of ten thousand catties was the only output of the three talents. Only by learning all of them could one be considered a true martial artist.
When one broke through to the third rank, four qi channels would appear in the body: One was to absorb the Xuan Qi from the outside world, which was similar to replenishing energy; The two masters condensed their mystic qi into a single point to increase the damage. The three masters released their mystic qi, which could be attached to any weapon, fist, or move to cause damage. The four masters regulated their breathing and could use mystic qi to heal and recover. At the same time, it would form a body fortification to avoid all kinds of damage.
These were the four symbols. If the four images can be learned and used flexibly, they can gallop in the world without any disadvantage.
Five spirits, when the four symbols reached level four, the qi gate was filled to the extreme. When there was nowhere else to go, they would choose to go through the 5th tribulation. The specific method was extremely dangerous, so he knew. Of course, he could also choose to guard the Four Symbols because reaching the Fourth Order of the Four Symbols was already considered a first-rate expert. It was enough for him to enjoy it for a lifetime.
However, a martial artist's pursuit was endless. Many Four Symbols Fourth Order experts would choose to transcend the fifth tribulation. If he failed, his previous cultivation would be destroyed and he would die without leaving anything behind. Once it broke through, the mystic qi of the four symbols would gather into five spirit pearls in his body and revolve around his body. These five spiritual pearls were the power of the fifth tribulation, known as the five spirits.
The five spirits could overturn the clouds and rain and destroy a country with one hand. Those with lower cultivation levels were not allowed to get close. This kind of person was also extremely dangerous because he could kill someone with just a glance. As for the state observation mental cultivation method of closing one's eyes with qi, one could at most see the Four Symbols Rank Four. Only when one reached the Four Symbols Second Order could one barely recognize the Five Spirit Pearls that surrounded one's body.
This only allows you to escape far away.
After reaching the realm of five spirits, one could really be said to be an overlord of a region and could do whatever they wanted. And the later stages of cultivation were even more difficult.
The Six Paths were the Six Paths of Reincarnation. To predict good fortune, to avoid evil, to transcend life and death, has the real immortal. It was rare to see such a person in a thousand years. The mountains and rivers shifted, and the flat land was covered by the sea. Perhaps occupying an immortal mountain as a Daoist sect, sitting on the ground and becoming a barbarian, and concentrating on cultivation was their destination. Because at this point, there were few enemies in the world.
As for the realms of Seven Royals and Eight Directions, no one had heard of them yet. It was only theoretically possible. Some people said that those with such a realm lived in the Vast Habitat outside the painting. Mortals couldn't reach it, let alone see and hear about it.
Although the cultivation techniques and martial arts of each sect had their own strengths and weaknesses, with the addition of mystic qi, the difference was no longer obvious. It was only in the individual's cultivation. An expert of a high realm could split mountains and split rocks with just an ordinary palm.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was only at the third rank, and she was considered an expert in the sect. She could easily crush those Tier 1 and Tier 2 cultivators. Because of her outstanding performance in the martial arts arena, she was invited to the banquet of the four great families.
Being able to participate in this banquet was also regarded as a supreme honor by some martial artists. It was enough to brag for a while. In addition, the invitations to the banquet could be kept by themselves. These invitations had already been sold at a very high price in the black market.
Nangong Xiaoxiang noticed that there were some young and unfamiliar faces from other families who were at the same level as her. Even if they were at the same realm, there was still a difference in level. There was a problem of proficiency. This could not be seen with closed eyes. He could only try it out personally.
Due to the prominent status of the four great clans in Tianchu, even the royal family would attend such a banquet. Except for the Marquis of Huainan, who was a royal relative who had entered the mortal world. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a jade belt around his waist, she would have thought that he was a street thug. He was ranked first in the banquet of the Xuanmen Ancestral Temple and was next to the temple hall.
The Marquis of Huainan was very familiar with the four directions. However, because he had lived among the people for a long time, he was proficient in the entertainment that could not be found in the palace, so he was very familiar with the princes and princes in the palace.
At this moment, a large carriage with a painted roof stopped on the road. Knowing that he was an extraordinary figure, even the elders of the four great clans came to welcome him.
It was the emperor's prince, the Ninth Prince. It was obvious how important the royal family was to this event.
Jiu Wangye was obviously a frequent visitor. He got off the carriage and walked straight to the first-class seats in the main hall of the ancestral temple. The elders cupped their hands in greeting. He also returned the greeting, not losing the royal style and grace.
"Since Jiu Wangye is here, let's start the banquet.”The elders said.
"I'm not busy. My seventh brother is still behind.”
"Even the Seventh Prince is here!"
This was really a rare guest. The Seventh Prince, Beiming Junye, was the son that the Emperor valued the most. Although he was also a member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he had never attended any banquets hosted by the four great clans. Moreover, he was already a Four Symbols Third Order Profound Qi expert at such a young age. He could be said to be a genius. He had been personally on the battlefield since he was sixteen years old, and his achievements were outstanding.
Moreover, he was wise and steady in handling matters. It was rumored that he would be the most powerful successor to the throne.
Such a powerful person, who knew who his master was. This had always been regarded as a legend in the Mysterious Sect.
He's really arrogant. He wants so many people to wait for him. I want to see what's so special about him. Nangong Xiaoxiang thought.
"Why didn't the Seventh Prince come with the Ninth Prince? He didn't inform us beforehand and caught us off guard. "If our manners are not good enough and we neglect the Seventh Prince, then wouldn't that be great…" The elders were secretly troubled because the seating arrangements for the banquet were all set beforehand, not too many nor too few. If a seat was added to the first seat at the last minute, someone would definitely have to step down from the second seat.
"He won't care about this. Seventh Brother had just come down from the battlefield in the north. He heard that the banquet of the four great families was about to begin, so he wanted to come and take a look. This seventh brother of mine just can't stand the injustice in the world. He had originally come here together, but on the way, he encountered a few evil thieves who were robbing women. He said that he wanted to destroy their den of thieves, so he was delayed.”Jiu Wangye said.
He was a person who abhorred evil. Nangong Xiaoxiang was now in awe of him.
But the problem now was, who should be the second seat? Everyone at this table had a prominent status. No one could afford to be punished!
"Why don't you let me go to the second seat? I see you people often anyway. I want to get to know the young people better.”At this moment, the Marquis of Huainan took the initiative to decline.
"Uncle Huainan, wouldn't that be too unfair to you?”
"That's right, Lord Marquis. This matter must not be allowed.”
"What's there to be wronged about? I'm sitting at the same table as my sister. I'm really beautiful.”
"Uncle Huainan, when did you have a girl?”
"There, it's her!" The Marquis of Huainan brought Nangong Xiaoxiang out of the crowd.
Jiu Wangye sized up Nangong Xiaoxiang with admiration in his eyes." She is indeed a peerless beauty, even more beautiful than the beauties in the palace!" Uncle Huainan, you…"
Jiu Wangye obviously knew that the Marquis of Huainan had this kind of "elegant interest" in hunting for beauties, and he felt that it was difficult to put it into words.
"Don't misunderstand. We're loyal siblings. Although I am her brother, I respect her. But in this entire world, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second one as beautiful as her, right?”The Prince of Huainan was obviously trying to pull strings.
Jiu Wangye also nodded in a daze.
But Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't like this type of person, who looked like a weak scholar.
She and the younger generation of the four great families were seated at the same table. This was naturally the most interesting table in the banquet. Now that the Marquis of Huainan had arrived, it would be even more lively!
At that moment, the door was restless. The Seventh Prince's carriage had arrived.
At this moment, many commoners had gathered outside the door. They also wanted to see the Seventh Prince's elegant demeanor. I heard that not only is he outstanding in martial arts, but he's also a peerless handsome man! The women outside the door, who would never have any interaction with the Seventh Prince in their entire lives, blushed unconsciously at the mention of him.
Was it that exaggerated? Nangong Xiaoxiang wanted to see it even more.
When the Seventh Prince got out of the carriage, Nangong Xiaoxiang suddenly felt a breeze caress her face. It was a throbbing sensation that she had never felt before. The person in front of him had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Ling Ling is righteous, not angry, but dignified. He was tall and straight, and his temperament was arrogant.
Although Nangong Xiaoxiang had always been focused on cultivation and treated all the men in the world as mere mortals, she couldn't help but be shocked by Beiming Junye's grace. Even his Four Symbols Qi Gates were different from others, emitting a jade-like brilliance!
The Marquis of Huainan saw that Nangong Xiaoxiang was stunned, so he whispered to her,""The Seventh Prince is not bad. But I'm not familiar with him! He never wanted to go out with me to have fun.”
"Nonsense! If he was jackals of the same tribe as you, why would I look at him?”
This Beiming Junye should only be a natural treasure. How could he be tainted with the slightest bit of dirt?# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
