Chapter 25 List of Heaven, Earth and People, Five Qi Chaoyuan
After achieving the state of inner strength, Du Heng felt that he had reached a state of complete perfection.
The qi, blood, and internal organs are extremely stable, which completely makes up for the previous shortcomings in physical strength.
Under the illumination of the Divine Light Mirror, he estimated his current strength.
[Realm: Inner Zhuang Realm]
[Strength: Profound Entrance Realm]
[Limit: Beyond the Entrance Realm]
This kind of strength is not only achieved by attack power or speed like before.
Rather, it has reached this level in all aspects.
Although he is only in the Neizhuang realm now, even if he withstands a punch from the Xuanguan realm head-on, he will not suffer any damage.
As he spoke, he turned the silk book to the back, pointed to a location and said, "Here, she is not yet sixteen years old, she has already reached the subtle state of perfection, and has mastered one of the magical skills of the Sword Making Pavilion.
Divine will.
After all, although the energy of the five elements is everywhere, it has different concentrations in different places. In some places, the energy of the fire element is stronger, and in other places, the energy of the water element is stronger.
The fifth person on the list, Du Kai, nicknamed "Young Qing Emperor", was born in the Du family of Longxi, he is twenty years old, and has perfected the profound realm...
…
"So powerful?" Du Heng laughed when he heard this, and at the same time looked at the position pointed by Wang Xuyang.
It can only be truly determined after absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth in one place for a period of time.
Now fourteen years old, his figure has gradually grown, and he can even be called slender and tall.
Nowadays, Chunyang Temple can still maintain a certain scale of inheritance, firstly because Xie Cang, who has half a foot in the divine sect level, is third on the list, and secondly, because Lin Qinghe's generation is in its prime.
The most critical point is to correlate the number of disciples that the sect can recruit each year with the number of people ranked on the list and the maintenance time.
…
As long as you enter these three rankings, you can enjoy benefits including but not limited to titles, salaries, fields, services, etc. Privileges include tax exemptions, exemption from arrest, and the ability to enter the Royal Academy to read the "Martial Palace"
》and other aspects.
But if we look at the entire Zhao Dynasty, compared with all the young talents today, they are actually not even at the top.
With such a realm and age, the two of them can certainly be regarded as geniuses in Chunyang Temple, and they are even considered the best among sects at the level of Chunyang Temple.
…
"Just last month, she defeated a master who was once ranked 113th on the rankings, and became the youngest genius in the past century. Some people have already given her various fairy nicknames.
.”
Even for Du Heng, who has a Dao Bone Immortal Fetus and can directly absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, it is very troublesome to identify the different concentrations of the Five Elements Qi in different places.
If for three consecutive years, if a disciple enters the top 50 on the list every year, you will get a quota for recruiting disciples.
The euphemistic name is to allow the martial arts sect to concentrate on teaching a small number of disciples, to achieve the elite level of the sect's warriors, not to waste unnecessary resources, and to avoid the emergence of a large number of martial arts practitioners with no future in martial arts.
This is actually using a soft knife to grind these martial arts sects to death bit by bit, and also mastering the balance point of strength.
"Junior brother, guess what this is?" He shook the silk book in his hand.
Now that there is no such step-by-step process, it is equivalent to requiring martial arts sects to decide the disciples they want to recruit without any screening and judgment.
The next thing he has to do is to concentrate on absorbing the energy of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth from these five places!
Compared with simply inhaling the energy of heaven and earth without distinction, absorbing the pure energy of the five elements is undoubtedly a more difficult thing.
The twenty-sixth person on the list, Yang Xuyue, nicknamed "White Feather Feihong", was born in Chunyang Temple, is twenty-four years old, and has not yet perfected the Mysterious Pass...
Therefore, you still have to choose carefully where to practice.
These five-color air currents contain the extremely rich power of the five elements, giving people a feeling that they encompass the principles of all things in the world.
…
Repay the limit.
The list includes young people under the age of thirty, who are traveling in the world and have clearly known achievements. There are a total of one hundred and twenty.
Nowadays, it is very rare to be in the top 30.
This process is not simple.
It took Du Heng two full months to visit almost every corner of Jinxia Mountain before he determined the five most suitable places for his cultivation.
However, before he could leave, Wang Xuyang came over.
In the next nearly a year, Du Heng continued to absorb, refine, and refine different types of powers of the Five Elements.
for example--
"Me?" Wang Xuyang waved his hand and said with a smile after hearing this, "You expect me to be on the list of people, you might as well think about what nickname you will use after you are on the list of people. I heard that many people are not very fond of their names.
I’m very dissatisfied with the nicknames, such as Mang King Kong and the like, which are really unpleasant.”
"Yeah." Du Heng nodded.
After that, although successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty made certain adjustments to the rules and treatment of the Three Rankings of Heaven, Earth and Humanity, they generally still followed the framework set by Emperor Wu.
Du Heng had his morning breakfast. After breakfast, he planned to explore among the peaks of Jinxia Mountain to see where it was suitable to absorb the energy of the Five Elements.
This can bring many disciples to Chunyang Temple, and may even bring the declining Chunyang Temple back to life and prosper again.
Of course, depending on the type of entry and ranking, these privileges and benefits also differ in detail.
The third day of June in the fifth year of Chonghe.
"Junior brother is still smart." Wang Xuyang smiled, unfolded the silk book in his hand and said, "Senior brother Xubai and senior sister Xuyue went down the mountain to hit the rankings this time. Unexpectedly, they have achieved so much in just three months. They are worthy of it.
It’s a combination of two swords, and I entered the top 30 directly.”
"Junior brother, in another month, I will go down the mountain." At this time, Wang Xuyang suddenly said, "I have reached the realm of divine power, and I will go down the mountain to accumulate experience in order to break through to the subtle realm."
In May of the fourth year of Chonghe, Wang Xuyang left Jinxia Mountain and traveled around the rivers and lakes to hone his martial arts in order to become a master.
In the past year, Han Qingshui, Zhou Qingxiao, and Lin Qinghe have frequently gone out. Ye Qingping and Wei Qingshan have been away from home all year round. The old temple master Xie Cang also often practices in retreat.
…
…
"There are really too few people in Chunyang Viewing." Du Heng couldn't help but sigh, "If there are fewer people, the number of people who can enter the list will be small, and the chance of getting into the top ten will be low. According to this
The laws of Da Zhao make it difficult to recruit more disciples."
The ranking of people began during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the courtyard of Shenhe Peak, Du Heng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly levitated from the futon, three feet above the ground, and flew into the air.
This is one of the reasons why the entire Chunyang Temple has high hopes for Du Heng.
Because it is simply impossible to support the inheritance of an entire sect just by counting on a few disciples.
Among them, the Heavenly Ranking lists only the ten strongest Shenmen-level experts in the world, while the Earthly Ranking ranks the fifty strongest people in the True Gang Realm.
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait to see your nickname on the list of people in the future." Wang Xuyang laughed loudly, and then put away the silk book, "I'm leaving first, I want to discuss with Master about going down the mountain.
Already."
If everything goes well, they should be able to stay in the top thirty before they reach the age of thirty, and they can compete for three disciples in Chunyang Temple.
Afterwards, Wang Xuyang turned and left, but when he was about to walk out of the courtyard, he turned back and said: "Junior brother, my senior brothers and sisters and I are waiting for you in the rivers and lakes below the mountain!"
Number one on the list, Fa Shan, nicknamed "Sword of Compassion", was born in Qibao Chanyuan, is twenty-one years old, and has perfected the Mysterious Entrance Realm...
She has a mysterious origin and is proficient in swordsmanship. At the age of only nineteen, she reached the level of Xuan Pass and reached the top of the list. Later, she mastered hundreds of swordsmanships and entered the Divine Gate in one fell swoop. She was known as the "Heavenly Sword"
The next morning.
There are fewer people on Jinxia Mountain, which makes it easier for him to explore everywhere and look for places with strong Qi of the Five Elements, so as to use it as a "dojo" to absorb the Qi of the Five Elements and build the foundation for condensing Tao seeds.
The twenty-third person on the list, Zhang Xubai, nicknamed "Kuai Jian Wuying", was born in Chunyang Temple, is twenty-six years old, and has not yet perfected the Mysterious Entrance Realm...
Gradually, the Qi of the Five Elements in his body became stronger and stronger, and the five-color light became brighter and brighter. The five internal organs in his body also emitted five-color light, and the Niwan Palace in the center of his eyebrows suddenly felt.
However, he was also happy with it.
"There are talented people in the world, so it is normal to have a new 'Heavenly Sword'." Du Heng nodded and said to Wang Xuyang, "I am very optimistic about you, senior brother. You will definitely be on the list in the future.
Take your place.”
The tenth person on the list is Yu Hai, nicknamed the ‘White Wolf of the North’. He is from the Baishan Sect. He is twenty-three years old and has perfected the Mysterious Entrance Realm...
And Du Heng is sitting in it, breathing in the five colors of energy and taking it into his chest, as if he has mastered the principles of all things, which makes people feel awe.
Tianjian was a martial arts master during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was also a woman.
Although he became immortal when he was twelve years old, this effect will keep his physical condition at its peak age and will not directly lock him at the age of twelve.
finally--
During the more than ten years since the founding of the Zhao Dynasty.
To this day, many of her deeds have become legends.
Finally, his eyes stopped at the top thirty people on the list and found the names of Zhang Xubai and Yang Xuyue.
If a disciple reaches the first place on the adult list, he will get ten places to recruit disciples.
Of course, if you want to be truly invulnerable in front of the Xuan Guan realm, you still need to practice specific horizontal martial arts.
"Well." Wang Xuyang nodded and said with a smile, "Junior brother, actually now I want to see what kind of storm you can stir up in the world after you come down from the mountain. Have you noticed that a year ago you were beaten by me?
Cheng Yujun, who was defeated by Zhao, is now on the list of people."
At that time, after the painstaking management of three generations of wise kings, the Great Zhou Dynasty had become rich and powerful. The major sects that had been severely damaged in the chaos of the late Yu Dynasty gradually recovered, and the martial arts world began to become prosperous.
This is equivalent to saying that in the huge Jinxia Mountain, where people can move around freely on weekdays, Du Heng is actually the only one left.
"Ha, look at me like this, do I think I will be called Mang King Kong?" Du Heng tugged on his clothes, moved his hands and feet, and retorted to Wang Xuyang.
At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, he was holding Tai Chi seals with his hands, and air currents of white, green, black, red, and yellow colors were blowing out of his mouth every time he exhaled and inhaled.
"So, from now on, I will be the only one left on this mountain?" Du Heng said with some emotion.
"I've seen the style of this silk book. Is it the ranking of the new issue of the People's List?" Du Heng glanced at him and chuckled, "Today is the tenth day of April. Calculating the time, it's the latest issue of the Three Rankings of Heaven, Earth and People.
It’s time to send the ranking to Shanyin County.”
In the end, this "Heavenly Sword" cut a peerless sword mark in the land of Qingzhou and disappeared.
If a disciple can maintain the top thirty rankings for more than three years, he will be given a quota to recruit disciples.
There are many rules like this, and it seems that there are many ways to obtain quotas for recruiting disciples, but in fact the conditions are very harsh and the number is very small.
In order to further strengthen the country through martial arts and to extend grace to the warriors of the world, Emperor Wu issued an edict and established three ranking lists of heaven, earth and people to rank the strength of the warriors in the world and grant different degrees of privileges and preferential treatment according to the rankings.
If a disciple enters the top twenty on the list, he or she can directly obtain a quota to recruit disciples.
Chunyang Temple, which originally had only a few people, became even more deserted, and Du Heng, the disciple of the Xu generation, was left alone on the mountain.
After all, no sect can be 100% sure whether a person has a future in martial arts when recruiting disciples. They must first conduct an evaluation and screening by practicing ordinary martial arts, and then find out the truly suitable core disciples.
And set up a series of quota acquisition mechanisms.
Therefore, he is still growing normally.
But the actual result was that a large number of martial arts sects lacked sources of fresh blood and declined rapidly.
The 113th person on the list, Cheng Yujun, no nickname yet, born in Zhujian Pavilion, fifteen years old, reached the subtle state of perfection...
The top sects' holy places have been minimally affected, but many of the small sects and medium-sized sects have declined, and have even reached the edge of severing their inheritance.
After all, with Du Heng's qualifications, there is a high probability that he will be ranked at the top of the list, and the duration will not be short.
"The reward for being exactly fourteen years old is a profound level martial arts "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Body"." Du Heng secretly thought in his heart, "Next, you can practice this martial arts while absorbing the energy of the five elements to enhance the body's defense.
force."
"I'm afraid this is just the beginning." Wang Xuyang nodded and said, "Her qualifications and strength are too great. There are already rumors in the world that if Cheng Yujun had not died young, he might have been another 'Heavenly Sword'.
"
However, after Chen Ju proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty and established the Great Zhao Dynasty, due to the promotion of the noble families, the imperial court carried out a series of reforms on the Wulin sects and the three lists of heaven, earth and people.
This makes it difficult for the sects to unite to fight against this policy, and they can only take the knife slowly.
This is also the reason why most sects in the past had three levels of progressive disciples: outer sect, inner sect, and true disciple.
Du Heng looked at the content on the silk book, and his eyes roughly scanned the top ten and the top twenty——
Strong physical defense is also an essential element to ensure your own safety.
If one day, Xie Cangshou expires, Lin Qinghe's generation enters its twilight years, and the new generation fails to grow up, then the inheritance and continuation of Chunyang Temple will also become in jeopardy.
Du Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes showed five colors, and the brilliance of the five qi was associated with his soul.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and gently grasped it, gathering a large amount of the energy of the five elements in an instant.
Then he heard a rumble in his palm.
Like thunder!
Sorry, I worked overtime at the end of the year and came home too late. This chapter of more than 4,000 words counts as two chapters. I will update the normal two chapters tomorrow~
