"My master has been meditating in seclusion for many years. I don't want to disturb you. You two should please come back. If you have any questions, you can tell me." Halfway up the mountain, a young man with a stern expression said calmly to Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan.
.
This young man has a simple and ordinary appearance, just like an ordinary person. However, his whole body is like a jade carving, and his eyes are shining. He is clearly a ninth-level monk with magical powers who has reached the level of a marshal.
Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan looked at each other. Xia Chen clasped his fists and said politely: "In that case, I'll excuse you and take my leave."
After that, he and Tang Shiyan left in a hurry.
The young man with a stern expression looked at the two people leaving, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if with a hint of irony: "Only a casual cultivator at the ninth level of supernatural power also wants to see me, the ancestor of the Chongyang Sect? But that woman..."
Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan flew to the foot of the mountain, looked at the desolate ancient road, and stopped.
"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of magical power..." Xia Chen sighed, "For several years, we have found dozens of famous sects, but none of the sect ancestors has the strength of the ninth level of peak magical power. Some even
It's disappointing that he can't even reach the level of marshal. It's really disappointing to hear that the ancestor of the Chongyang Sect has the ninth level of spiritual power, but is in seclusion."
Tang Shiyan held his hand and said with a smile: "This is normal. If you are used to seeing so many powerful people in the imperial court, when you meet these sects, you will feel that they are nothing more than that. In fact, these famous sects are...
It sounds good, but it may not be truly powerful. Even the imperial court cannot grasp a truly powerful sect. Whether we can see it or not depends on whether we have the chance."
Xia Chen said: "I heard that these sects and the imperial court are like fire and water. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to pretend to be casual cultivators, but they would look down upon us."
Tang Shiyan said: "The Tang Dynasty Wu Yi Tianxia naturally wants to order the world, and no one dares to disobey it, but the monks of the sect are used to being free and loose, how can they obey the orders of the imperial court? In the history of the imperial court, many former emperors actually did not hesitate to do so.
I tried to make a bloodbath in the sect and completely rule the Tang Dynasty at all costs, but all ended in failure. Over time, I just let it be, as long as it does not threaten the rule of the imperial court."
"Is the sect so powerful?" Xia Chen asked.
He has seen how majestic the army of the Tang Dynasty is. It can be called terrifying. A general with the seventh level of magical power alone has to be measured in tens of thousands. An ordinary army is enough to overturn the Black Triangle hundreds of times.
.
"The strength of a single sect is naturally far inferior. But if you add them together, even just a part of them, the imperial court will be far inferior." Tang Shiyan said, "Under the pressure of the imperial court, these sect forces united together and resisted desperately.
.There is absolutely nothing the court can do.”
Xia Chen wondered: "Then if the sect counterattacks the imperial court, won't the imperial court be destroyed soon?"
Tang Shiyan said: "This is the weakness of the sect. If they come together under the pressure of the court, they will indeed be invincible. But once there is no pressure, the interests and conflicts between the sects will be highlighted and they will become a mess again.
.”
Xia Chen nodded. This is indeed the case for the sect. When the Yan-Zhao Alliance was integrated, it also encountered the same problem.
Tang Shiyan added: "Actually, judging from the true thoughts of the sect, they will not really overthrow the Tang Dynasty."
"Why is this?" Xia Chen asked.
"If the imperial court falls, the world will be in chaos. When all the heroes rise up, these sects will bear the brunt of the impact, so no one wants to live in a chaotic world, so they have to rely on the Tang Dynasty to maintain stability." Tang poetry.
Yan explained.
"It seems that the sect's feelings towards Datang should be very complicated." Xia Chen said with a smile, "Like a lover who has broken up, with love and hate intertwined."
"Poor talk." Tang Shiyan also smiled, "But your metaphor is quite vivid. It is probably such a complicated relationship."
"Let's go and continue on the road." Xia Chen said with a smile, "Looking for other ways to reach the peak of the ninth level of magical power."
Tang Shiyan frowned slightly: "But the list of powerful sects controlled by the imperial court has been visited. Where should we go to look for them? We can't just wander around aimlessly like this."
"Don't worry, I have a solution." Xia Chen smiled mysteriously.
Tang Shiyan is a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Although she has gone out to experience, she does not know much about the sect. Xia Chen is a genuine sect member and has his own way of gathering information in the world.
Teahouses, Taoist gatherings, wine shops, markets... these are all places frequented by sectarian monks. If they communicate with each other, they will naturally get what they want. If it doesn't work, there must be organizations that specialize in selling information. At most, they are flower shops.
Just some money.
"Okay." Tang Shiyan was quite curious when she saw that he was mysterious, but since Xia Chen didn't say anything, she naturally wouldn't ask.
The two were about to set up the escape light and leave when suddenly, an ordinary old voice sounded directly in Xia Chen's heart: "Two fellow Taoists, I, Chongyangzi, have woken up from seclusion. Since it is a coincidence that we meet, please meet and talk."
"Huh?" Xia Chen's expression moved slightly. He didn't expect that the ancestor of the Chongyang Sect would wake up from seclusion. It was fate.
As for the other party transmitting a message to him without any warning, Xia Chen didn't find it strange at all. After all, this was the territory of the Chongyang Sect, and it was home to a master of the ninth level of magical power. If he said there were no means, Xia Chen himself wouldn't believe it.
Being able to see a powerful man with a peak golden body, the two of them naturally didn't have to go on the road anymore, so they turned into escaping light and flew back to the mountain again.
"Master is waiting for you in the cave at the top of the mountain. The restriction has been lifted. You can just fly up by yourself." The young man with a stern expression said calmly, obviously having received the order from his ancestor.
"Thank you!" Xia Chen said politely, and then he and Tang Shiyan flew towards the peak.
The young man looked at the backs of the two people for a long time, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
The peak of the Chongyang Sect is extremely high, so high that it cannot be described as towering into the clouds, because the clouds are only at the foot of the mountain, not even halfway up the mountain.
From a distance, you can't see the peak. You can only see the sky-sword-like peak rising infinitely, which exceeds the limit of vision.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan flew millions of miles upward.
There is no air in the sky at this location. As far as the eye can see, there is no blue sky or stars. In the gray space, there are only endless storms.
If a strong person below the ninth level of magical power does not have the best magic weapon to protect himself, he will definitely die if he enters here. Only a strong person with the ninth level of magical power can be safe and sound.
Xia Chen also drifted in space storms, but the space storms he experienced at that time were far inferior to those he experiences now.
It seems that the ancestor of the Chongyang Sect placed the cave here not only to show his strength, but also for a deeper purpose. For example, to challenge his own limits, Xia Chen thought to himself.
Even those who are at the ninth level of magical power have limitations when it comes to ascending to heaven and entering the earth. If they can break this limitation, they may be able to break through the limits of their magical power.
After flying another million miles, the two finally saw the top of the peak. There was a faint flash of multi-colored light.
A familiar majesty came, and Xia Chen knew that it was a restriction in the cave at the top of the mountain. However, this restriction was not used to defend against people, but to resist space storms. For a strong man who could fly to such a height, ordinary restrictions were simply impossible.
Be on guard.
Xia Chen took Tang Shiyan's hand and entered the colorful stream of light with a whoosh sound.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure swept over Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan, and there was a sense of physical oppression like the power of heaven.
"The best magic weapon!" Xia Chen's heart moved, and with a sweep of his mind, he immediately discovered a huge black wheel slowly turning in the void.
That substantial spiritual pressure comes from the black wheel.
Suddenly, Xia Chen had an illusion. A black wheel suddenly enlarged in his field of vision. The teeth of the slowly rotating wheel seemed to be crushing countless people who were shouting at the top of their lungs, but could not make any sound.
That scene was indescribably weird and evil.
He was shocked and was about to see clearly, but the illusion suddenly disappeared and the black wheel returned to its original size without any abnormalities.
This black wheel is a bit weird... Xia Chen thought to himself, and was about to use his divine light to see more clearly. Suddenly, the light in front of his eyes bloomed, and there was a solid feeling under his feet. He was actually in a hall facing the sky on all sides.
.
An old man stood in the center of the hall. He had an immortal air and kind eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
"My name is Chongyangzi. Welcome you two friends to our Chongyang Sect. Please take a seat." He pointed casually, and two chairs appeared out of thin air behind Xia Chen and Tang Shiyan.
"Sure enough, he is at the peak of the ninth level of magical power." Xia Chen secretly said.
There is nothing strange about using magical powers to transform a chair. What is strange is that Chongyangzi did not deliberately use magical powers, but the magic changed naturally according to his will.
This is already a state of skill that is close to that of Taoism, and is only one level away from the state of the Tang Emperor's desire to follow the words. Even in terms of magic alone, Chongyangzi has surpassed the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Junior Xia Chen, together with his wife-in-law Tang Shiyan, has met senior Chongyangzi." Xia Chen bowed slightly before sitting down.
With his cultivation level, he can actually be friends with his peers. But now, after all, he has revealed the ninth level of supernatural power, and he is here to ask questions. If he is too big, it will give people an arrogant impression.
Tang Shiyan didn't say anything, she just bowed and smiled and saluted. As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, her etiquette was naturally unparalleled in the world.
Even Chongyangzi couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he praised: "What a match made in heaven. I wonder what Xia Chen and his wife are looking for?"
"Senior is so complimentary." Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Junior came here mainly to ask questions."
"Oh..." Chongyangzi twisted his beard and smiled, and said with interest, "Seeing that the two young friends are quite advanced in cultivation and have achieved such achievements at such a young age, they should have their own teachers. I don't know what to discuss with me.
.”
"Senior, I have misunderstood." Xia Chen said, "The way that I want to ask for advice is not the magic theory, but the realm above magical power. Since you are already at the peak of the ninth level of magical power, and you have been in seclusion for such a long time, can you break through the limit of magical power?
way?"
Chongyangzi's face changed slightly, he looked at Xia Chen, and then said after a while: "In my opinion, little friend Xia Chen should be in the first stage of the golden body. There is still a long way to go before the peak. Why do you come so early to inquire about the realm of supernatural powers?"
The road above?"
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with whether you are at the peak level or not. Even if you are not a strong person with a golden body, you should consider the future path of practice. If you reach the ninth level of spiritual power, there will be no way to go, and practice will lose its meaning."
