"future…..."
Tantai Xunzhen subconsciously replied, "I can only see a blurry part. After all, this kind of major event takes too much effort."
It is true that Lingji Jade has predictive capabilities.
However, not everything can be predicted, especially when it comes to future fate, which is even more unpredictable.
“Okay…” Dong Ruojing’s face showed a hint of regret, then she suddenly remembered something else.
“The future is unpredictable… So, can we use the power of the Spirit Jade to investigate the root of the nightmares? It’s happened several times already, and I… I’m still worried about you…” Her eyes were slightly red, and her tone was earnest.
Hearing this, Tantai Xunzhen felt a warmth in his heart. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "You're right. These nightmares have indeed been a bit strange. Taking a look... puts my mind at ease..."
After Dong Ruojing said that, she also sensed that something was wrong.
After all, given her current level, coupled with the protection of the Spirit Jade, which eliminates distracting thoughts and prevents external evils from invading, she wouldn't even have nightmares, let alone dream about them frequently. How could she possibly have nightmares for several days in a row...?
Having made up his mind, Tantai Xunzhen slowly activated the Spirit Jade, and a white light suddenly appeared on his body, flickering with his breath.
I had just entered a state of no thought, a state of hazy awareness.
She suddenly thought of something else.
Although her bloodline has now awakened three times and developed to a certain extent, it can support the use of the Spirit Jade more.
but.
It seems a bit wasteful to waste a Spirit Jade on a single use after only having a few dreams without suffering any real harm. Thinking this...
The light emanating from Tantai Xunzhen slowly dimmed.
Before she had fully opened her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a strange expression flash across Dong Ruojing's face through her slits.
It was as if he couldn't wait, or as if he was showing cunning when he achieved his goal.
Although the strange color disappeared very quickly, so quickly that Tantai Xunzhen thought she was hallucinating, she eventually realized that something was wrong.
"It's nothing..." Seeing the puzzled look on Dong Ruojing's face, Tantai Xunzhen remained calm. "I just suddenly remembered... there's something I haven't done yet."
She turned her head to look outside. The moonlight outside the window was like gauze, and a small round moon hung in the sky, with infinite silvery light pouring down from the high sky.
Tantai Xunzhen's pupils contracted.
The window was opened sometime ago, and the curtains were drawn sometime ago...
She always keeps the windows closed and the curtains drawn when she sleeps.
Only in this way.
She lacked a sense of security since childhood, and only when she slept could she feel at ease and fall asleep.
Tantai Xunzhen sighed.
Turning around, he looked at Dong Ruojing, who was sitting obediently in front of him.
Perhaps it's a coincidence.
Dong Ruojing's position was strange; most of her body was hidden in darkness, with only half of her face visible in the light, as if she was trying to hide something.
perhaps.
It could also be Tantai Xunzhen's illusion.
However, upon closer inspection...
She sensed a very subtle, eerie aura emanating from the other person, a feeling that could not be faked.
"Don't you find it strange?" Tantai Xunzhen sighed. "Ruojing and I are indeed like sisters. But why would she appear in my room late at night?"
More than that.
There are just too many suspicious points...
Inquire about the secrets of the passage…
She was repeatedly tricked into using the Spirit Jade...
"You... found out?" Dong Ruojing slowly raised her head, her voice suddenly becoming hoarse, carrying a kind of ravenous hunger.
Click, click...
Her entire body cracked like a porcelain vase, shattering into pieces. *Crack!*
Before Tantai Xunzhen could react, everything went blurry before her eyes, a sound came, and something in the surrounding air seemed to shatter like a mirror.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
This time, they really opened their eyes.
There was nothing in front of me.
There was no sugar figurine, no Dong Ruojing, and she wasn't even in the bedroom; she was asleep at her desk.
This is the biggest anomaly.
With her current bloodline concentration, she is incredibly energetic and can last for three days and three nights if she doesn't want to sleep.
It's inexplicable; it's impossible for someone to suddenly fall into a deep sleep and drift off to sleep.
Tantai Xunzhen stood up warily and glanced out the window.
Dark clouds churned outside, obscuring the stars and the moon. It was another gloomy and desolate night.
She touched her chest; the magical jade left by her mother emitted a faint warmth that soothed her entire body.
creak...
The study door opened automatically without any wind, creating a small crack.
"Who goes there?" Tantai Xunzhen's heart tightened, and she looked over with a cold gaze.
Looking out through the gap.
It seemed completely dark outside, as if there was nothing there at all.
“That is…” She squinted, noticing something was wrong outside.
The darkness outside the door was far deeper and more profound than the darkness of night.
and…...
It was still a moving, writhing mass of darkness. A black figure slowly rose, and a head gradually emerged.
The head was the size of a watermelon, and although it had no facial features, just a patch of darkness, it seemed to be grinning.
He was grinning maliciously as he peered through the crack in the door into the study.
"?! That's...my...shadow?!" Tantai Xunzhen's pupils contracted, realizing the source of the problem.
Unbeknownst to him, he had fallen into the demon's trap and been tricked.
She glanced down.
The candlelight shone down on her, but strangely, it didn't cast a shadow on the ground.
“Shadow Demon…” Tantai Xunzhen gave a wry smile, “I remember it was cleaned thoroughly last time… and the teacher did a detailed cleaning afterwards, how could it…”
creak...
The door opened even wider. The gap widened, and the dark figure, seemingly made of flesh and blood, forced its way in.
The entire entrance was completely blocked by a pitch-black figure.
"..."
Tantai Xunzhen slowly took a few steps back, gripping the Lingji Jade tightly in his hand, feeling his palms were covered in sweat.
only.
Now that she's fallen into the Shadow Demon's trap, how could she possibly escape?
……………
……………
The wheel is the wheel.
Dust billowed along the official road as a large convoy sped along at top speed, though the road was old and riddled with potholes, making the carriages wobble. "Eight Strengths? Eight Elephants?"
Inside the carriage, Han Yi looked thoughtfully at the woman in green.
"What is the specific explanation? Please explain."
"The creation of nature, the so-called Eight Forces, are the origin of heaven and earth, encompassing all phenomena, from which all things originate. The Eight Forces are: Heaven, Earth, Mountain, Lake, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire..."
The woman in green looked dazed and somewhat stiff, her eyes vacant, as she slowly recounted her story as if in a dream.
"In other words... a martial artist can choose one of the cultivation paths, practice the formless force, temper their limits, and thus break through those limits to become a grandmaster?"
“Indeed. We call them the Eight Strengths and Eight Symbols. The Eight Strengths are the key to the Martial Master level.” The woman in green nodded. “And the Eight Symbols are for those who have reached the Grandmaster level, divided into two, four, and eight symbols. Cultivating the Eight Symbols can lead to the Great Dao, thus becoming a Venerable…”
“Eight Strengths and Eight Elephants…” Han Yi mused. He had been watching the battle from the sidelines while the woman in green and Wang Tielong were fighting, thanks to his nighttime vision.
At that time, he felt that the cultivation system in Qingzhou was somewhat strange, with a kind of ambiguous and bizarre feeling.
The nature of the force can be as violent as thunder, as fierce as fire, or as swift as the wind.
Moreover, it is a natural property generated from internal energy.
It is not that the nature bias arises sequentially through the circulation of meridians and the transformation of techniques.
By eliminating the step of energy conversion, the output efficiency increases, and the power of the moves in actual combat naturally becomes extremely strong.
It seems that as long as one encounters a counteracting force, a crushing victory will occur.
Once you are countered by your opponent, defeat is inevitable.
in other words.
While their explosive power is strong, their adaptability has weakened. Just like the woman in green before me, her swordsmanship is exquisite, and her movements, speed, and agility are quite good, but her defense, strength, and endurance are far inferior.
That's the feeling Han Yi got.
It was as if this woman's entire strength existed solely for the sake of swordsmanship; if she lost her sword, her strength would immediately drop by 60%.
Moreover, when she encounters someone who counters her, such as Wang Tielong, who has extremely strong defense and thick skin, even though their strength and realm are roughly the same, she cannot withstand his attacks, cannot break through his defenses, and is completely outmatched.
So this so-called Eight Strengths and Eight Symbols system...
"Tell me about yourself," Han Yi said, looking up at the woman.
Although the woman in green was of average strength, she knew a great deal, clearly indicating that she came from an extraordinary background.
"My name is Gong Yusheng. I am the second young lady of the Gong family in Wangtian City. I cultivate the family's martial art, the Thunderclap Sword Technique, and have just been promoted to the Second Elephant Grandmaster..." The woman in green spoke without hesitation, revealing all her secrets as if they were her most treasured possessions.
The Second Elephant Grandmaster, when converted to the level in Yunzhou, actually refers to a martial artist who has just broken through to the Grandmaster level.
In the martial arts hierarchy of Qingzhou, there is no concept of a Grandmaster.
The difference in realm between grandmasters is the distinction between the two stages, the four stages, and the eight stages.
The meaning of "two phenomena" is that the mainstream force has been fused with other attribute forces.
Take Gong Yusheng as an example.
The Thunderclap Sword Technique she cultivated naturally generated thunder energy within her body.
By thoroughly understanding the power of thunder, and by supplementing and integrating it with external objects, the power can be sublimated to generate a wisp of true power. By using this to temper the whole body, one can achieve a breakthrough.
This is the Two-Image Grandmaster.
For example, when Gong Yusheng broke through, he used a piece of fire-thunder wood to integrate fire energy, forming the so-called thunder-fire transformation, and thus successfully advanced to the second-level grandmaster.
"The Thunderclap Sword Technique..." Han Yi pondered for a moment, "Just tell me the full text of its cultivation."
"This..." Gong Yusheng's eyelids twitched a few times, as if she had touched some taboo in her heart and was about to wake up.
Hiss hiss hiss...
Ye You, standing nearby, immediately became anxious and increased his demonic energy output to bewitch the mind and force him to speak.
"The Thunderclap Sword Technique is the foundational martial art of my Gong family. It emphasizes attacking with lightning speed and overwhelming force. A single sword thrust is like a flash of lightning..." Gong Yusheng's consciousness blurred again, and he fell into chaos. It was as if his closest relative was whispering questions in his ear, slowly revealing the family's secret.
"..."
After listening patiently, Han Yi remained calm and began to ponder deeply.
