Back then, Zhang Zhen and Yin Yang Qingshan fought for the title of Martial Arts Legend at the summit of Sky Mountain.
In the end, Zhang Zhen was caught off guard. Yin Yang Qing Shan seized the opportunity to shatter his heart meridian with a palm strike, and his body fell off the cliff.
Such an injury was not fatal to a legendary-level expert, but it had caused Zhang Zhen to lose most of his combat strength.
He barely managed to circulate his qi to protect his heart meridian and his entire body before falling into the ice valley at the bottom of the ten-thousand-foot cliff.
At that time, Yin Yang Qingshan's injuries were not light, so he did not immediately chase after him. Instead, he waited until his injuries recovered a little before he went to look for Zhang Zhen's traces. However, in the end, he found nothing.
Zhang Zhen, who had fallen into the ice valley, did not encounter any fortuitous encounters. He fell into a coma because of his heavy injuries.
In the end, his body was covered by snow and sank into the thick ice.
When Zhang Zhen regained his consciousness and broke out of the ice, he realized that not only were his injuries healed, but the purity of his ice qi had also increased by several folds. His martial arts had made great progress compared to before.
At that time, Zhang Zhen was overjoyed and immediately decided to come out of the mountain to seek revenge from Yin Yang Qingshan and obtain the title of Martial Arts Legend.
However, when Zhang Zhen came out of the Heaven Mountain Range, he realized that the world had already changed.
This was no longer the era of the Black Dragon Dynasty, but 1,200 years later.
His enemy, Yin Yang Qingshan, had long become a martial arts legend. He had lived a glorious life, and now, he had become a skeleton in the grave.
At that time, Zhang Zhen was at a loss.
In the blink of an eye, not only were his friends and family gone, but even the enemies he had fought for his entire life had become history.
This change shattered Zhang Zhen's worldview.
Fortunately, he was still strong. After he calmed down, he returned to South Sea County to find his descendant, Zhang Jie. He decided to help Zhang Jie ascend to the throne and help him collect the resources he needed for cultivation.
Since he did not become a martial arts legend in his era, he would defeat the rising stars of this era and become a martial arts legend.
This was the decision that Zhang Zhen had made previously. Unfortunately, not long after he implemented it, he met Lin Cheng.
Thus, everything turned into bubbles.
While Zhang Zhen was recounting his story, Lin Cheng had been checking his mental state to make sure that he was not lying.
After listening to Zhang Zhen's story, Lin Cheng's lips curled up into a smile.
Obviously, he was in a good mood.
"No wonder your power is far superior to Ji Qinrui's in both the degree of magnificence and purity, but your actual combat ability isn't much stronger than hers.”
" Your memory and martial arts are still stuck in the ancient times from 1,200 years ago. How can they compare to the martial arts that have been deduced to a higher level and are more powerful in modern times?”
"Perhaps giving you some time to adapt will allow you to keep up with the times, but the time you've been born is too short.”
After listening to Zhang Zhen's story, Lin Cheng said thoughtfully.
There was no doubt that each generation of martial arts was stronger than the previous.
This point was vividly reflected in the Martial Arts Code, which had collected the essence of martial arts from all the generations of martial arts legends and witnessed the changes in the entire martial arts system.
In the " Martial Code ", the strongest martial art in the same realm was not the " Yi Tian Gong " of the first generation of martial arts legends, but the " City-Fall Sword Scripture " created by Wang Jiancheng.
This was what it meant to be a tree planted by the predecessors and enjoyed by the later generations.
Standing on the shoulders of the seniors, the juniors continued to climb forward, so the power that could be unleashed by one point of internal strength continued to increase.
It was unknown whether the development of martial arts would completely stagnate in the future, but at least in the past thousands of years, the depth and breadth of martial arts had been constantly improving.
" I've finally come back to my senses." Zhang Zhen smiled bitterly." The reason you came to find me is because you want to know the secret of my longevity?" Are you very disappointed now?"
Due to the lack of contact previously, Zhang Zhen was unable to guess Lin Cheng's goal. However, he had some guesses at this moment.
Lin Cheng was born in the royal family and lived a luxurious life since he was young. When he grew up, he ascended the throne and enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world.
Now, Lin Cheng had become a martial arts legend who was even more respected than the Emperor. His martial arts were unprecedented.
Under such circumstances, there was nothing else that Lin Cheng wanted other than longevity.
Coincidentally, Zhang Zhen was a special existence who had come to this era from 1,200 years ago. It was not strange for him to attract Lin Cheng's interest.
"I won't feel disappointed. Longevity elixirs or similar fortuitous encounters are pleasant surprises for me.”
"Your existence itself means that the path I have chosen is correct. That is enough.”
Lin Cheng shook his head and replied calmly.
The most important part of his plan to harvest the world was to perfect the hibernation method of the human body to help him reach the future with less loss of vitality.
The miracle that happened to Zhang Zhen proved that Lin Cheng's direction was correct.
After a human body hibernated, it could indeed live for a long time with a very small loss of vitality.
Just like Zhang Zhen, he was only eighty years old when he was knocked down into the ice valley.
At this moment, 1,200 years had passed since his era, but Lin Cheng could clearly sense that the loss of vitality in his body was less than four years of lifespan under normal circumstances.
In other words, Zhang Zhen was only 84 years old.
It could be said to be a true portrayal of a day in the sky and a year on the ground in myths and legends.
The purity of his internal energy had also increased greatly during hibernation.
He only needed to thoroughly study the principle behind the miracle that happened to Zhang Zhen.
Not only would Lin Cheng be able to obtain a method to greatly increase the purity of his internal strength, but he would also be able to obtain the most perfect method of human hibernation. His idea of harvesting the world would also be closer to success.
Therefore, although Lin Cheng did not obtain any life-prolonging spirit herbs or fortuitous encounters, he did not feel disappointed at all.
"You caused me to lose a lot of my power, so I can spare your life.”
"But as compensation, I'll need you to cooperate with me for a period of time.”
As he spoke, Lin Cheng pulled Zhang Zhen up from the ground.
A vast amount of energy poured into his head, helping him to cleanse his body and heal his injuries. A moment later, Zhang Zhen's injuries were mostly healed.
Next, he still needed Zhang Zhen to cooperate with him to study the most perfect human hibernation method. When the time came, there were still many areas that needed his help.
Zhang Zhen thought that Lin Cheng was just pretending to be calm and comforting himself, but at this moment, he was shocked to find that Lin Cheng might really think so.
"Alright, I'll definitely cooperate."
Although Zhang Zhen did not know what Lin Cheng wanted to do next, he still obediently agreed.
At this moment, he had already been completely beaten by Lin Cheng and could not raise any thoughts of disobeying Lin Cheng.
Moreover, when Lin Cheng was treating his injuries, he had also placed a restriction on his body.
This restriction was recorded in the " Martial Code ". It was a method created by a Demon Cult Master whose martial arts had reached the legendary level to control his subordinates.
Using pure spiritual force and his own internal strength to form a restriction, it was entrenched near Zhang Zhen's Niwan Palace. Once it acted up, it could blow his brain into a paste.
Unless Zhang Zhen's spiritual realm was more than twice that of Lin Cheng, he could forget about solving it.
