Chapter 51 Alternative choice (Part 1)
Out of nine super grade martial arts of Zhentian Sect, two were of agility type, others were either attacking or defense type martial skill, or both attacking and defensive type martial skills, for example the sky wave cross and white noble spirit.
“In the category of agility type martial skill, besides ‘horizon is close’, there is one more named ‘ghost flash’, this one seems more suitable to me.”
Long Yu was carefully observing the descriptions of these two agility type martial skills and was secretly pondering over them.
In the category of super grade martial skills, if ‘horizon is close’ was practiced to Da Cheng level, then a cultivator would not only be able to cover a short distance at will and in a flash, but it would also come in very handy while giving a long distance chase to an enemy at a very high speed.
If practiced to its peak level, its effect would be stronger, and then he would be able to cover a distance of almost 1000 feet in a blink of an eye, and his speed would be so fast that almost nobody would be able to overtake him. Finally, after practicing it to perfection level, he would be capable of forming a horizon barrier screen, which would provide a good defense for him.
The defense effects of different defense classes of martial skills were different, and so the barrier effects of royal rock wall, Demon vajra cover, etc. were different, but the horizon barrier screen of ‘horizon is close’ was unique in the sense that the enemy would not be able to touch the user, so it was basically impregnable!
Whenever the core disciples of Zhentian wanted to practice agility type super grade martial skill, they would definitely choose ‘horizon is close’.
Because, the effect of the other agility type martial skill, ‘ghost flash’, was really a quite weak in comparison.
If ‘ghost flash’ was practiced to the peak level, it would not only increase the speed of the cultivator, but it would also empower him to have his own incarnation ghost! This incarnation ghost would only be injured by Xuan qi , of course, sword and spear would penetrate into the body of the ghost, but wouldn’t have any effect.
“The reason that this agility type martial skill is considered weaker is that in the present world of martial arts, everyone prefers Xuan qi based attacks. It’s rare to see martial artists who fully rely on a sword or spear to attack the enemy.”
Long Yu thought to himself, and at present, there was a tinct of brightness in his eyes: “However, if ‘ghost flash’ is successfully practiced to the perfection level, then I should be able to make myself completely turn into a void figure, although not invisible, but it should pass through ordinary obstacles, such as walls, trees, ground, etc., if cultivation is good, then I can maintain the void time for a longer period.”
This unique feature of ‘ghost flash’ made Long Yu to like it!
The acceleration effect of this agility type martial skill couldn’t be compared to ‘horizon is close’, but during the fight, the disparity between the two wasn’t too big, the practitioner of both agility skills could cover short distances in a flash, in any case, both skills were much stronger than ‘flickering wind step’.
“If I can incarnate the body of a ghost, then being a void body, it should be able to get through the wall. Then it will become very advantageous in the future.”
Long Yu thought in his mind, then made a firm resolve to practice ‘ghost flash’.
Even with the help of ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark, he wouldn’t dare to simultaneously practice two super grade martial skills, because each martial skill required long time for its practice, and he felt it was not necessary right now.
Long Yu believed that by the time his cultivation level would increase considerably, he would have found a better agility type martial skill, so he did not need be so eager and hasty at this time.
“Practicing ‘ghost flash’ needs to penetrate Xuan qi into the entire body, and the practice difficulty is enormous! This is another important reason that the core disciples are not willing to practice it. ”
When Xuan qi seeped into the whole body and the internal organs, then it used to generate unbearable pain. After all, ordinary martial artists generally didn’t practice body refining type martial skill so their internal organs were very fragile.
“Even now, I am afraid it is difficult to bear the penetration of Xuan qi into my body, I must first practice ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level.”
Long Yu thought to himself, and felt that, now he had no more time to waste.
If a cultivator wanted to reach to Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, he would have to quench his body meridians with Xuan qi, and if he wanted to reach its peak level then he would have to quench his Dantian with Xuan qi, but if he wanted to reach to its perfection level, then he would have to quench his five internal organs with Xuan qi.
Above the perfection level, if a practitioner was able to quench his blood vessels with Xuan qi, then he could achieve the transcendent level of ‘Demon tyrant form’.
On the way to practice a martial skill, there were different levels, starting from beginner level, Xiao Cheng level, Da Cheng level, peak level, perfection level and the transcendent level.
Any martial skill, if practiced to the transcendent level, would grant tremendous benefits. But not all martial skills had a transcendent level.
For example, ‘flickering wind step’ and many other martial skills could only be practiced up to the perfection level.
“In order to practice ‘ghost flash’, I must practice ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level. I will have to first quench my Dantian, and after that, I need to quench the five internal organs, then only my whole body can withstand the Xuan qi seepage.”
Long Yu had already decided his next practice plan. He wanted to practice ‘ghost flash’, and for that, the most important thing was to enhance the withstanding capacity of his internal organs, so practicing ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level would be sufficient. At this moment, there was no need to reach its transcendent level.
“The Feng clan meeting is soon going to be held, and only half a month of time is left for that. Even if I succeed in practicing ‘Demon tyrant form’ to its perfect level before setting out for Yu Guan City, its effects will certainly be extraordinary, at least I will be in a better position to deal with the fellows of Feng clan.”
He knew that Feng Longsong, his foster parent, might have to face quite a difficult situation during Feng clan’s meeting so he wanted to help him out in this crisis.
“Stronger, I need to get stronger!”
Long Yu’s eyes revealed a firm and resolute look. Soon, the practice method of ‘ghost flash’ was completely recorded in his mind and he was all set to leave and practice it later.
” Brother Long, what’s the matter?”
At this moment, Ling Han’s voice came from the side and he arrived next to Long Yu.
Chapter 51 Alternative choice (Part 2)
His eyes caught the attention of Long Yu’s eyes which appeared to be concentrated on ‘ghost flash’. He gawked and immediately asked: “Brother Long, are you not going to practice ‘horizon is close’? What made you change your mind to ‘ghost flash’?”
If Long Yu practiced ‘horizon is close’ then it would seem reasonable to Ling Han, considering the strong defense granted by this agility skill after reaching the peak level.
But, Long Yu wanted to practice ‘ghost flash’, which immediately baffled Ling Han.
Although ‘ghost flash’ was a super grade martial skill but nobody practiced it in the entire Zhentian Sect. However, truly speaking, its acceleration was so good that the top grade martial skills couldn’t be compared to it.
Needless to say, it was very difficult to practice ‘ghost flash’, and it could be said that out of all the nine super grade martial skills, it was toughest to practice it!
“I changed my mind and I think ‘ghost flash’ is more suitable for me.”
Long Yu said with a smile.
“Brother Long, you…”
Ling Han stared at him because he simply couldn’t imagine how did Long Yu feel that ‘ghost flash’ was suitable for him? His decision to practice it really surprised him.
“Well, needless to say, I’m going back to begin practicing, how about you?”
Long Yu said.
“I will also begin to practice, I have written down the complete practice method of white noble spirit.”
Ling Han said, while looking at Long Yu like a monster.
No matter, he couldn’t figure out the reason why Long Yu chose ‘ghost flash’. In his opinion, out of all the nine super grade martial skills, ‘ghost flash’ was the most useless one and any one of the other eight was easily stronger than ‘ghost flash’.
However, Ling Han didn’t ask anything, he believed that Long Yu would definitely not crack a joke with his own time.
Since Long Yu chose ‘ghost flash’ then he must have had his own reasons for it. Ling Han was aware of it so he didn’t bother Long Yu anymore.
They departed from Martial Court’s back side and returned to their respective residences.
While practicing a martial skill, each and every second was important, a cultivator must promote every moment!
Seven sects competition was going to be held in just six months. It sounded like a very long time, but in reality, it would pass in a flash.
Elder Yu was unconscious due to his injuries, and many disciples of Zhentian sect had been killed at the hands of Yu Qianning of Qiansi Sect, so Long Yu and Ling Han must strive and not waste time.
……
At the summit of Zhentian canyon, in the bamboo room.
Long Yu was sitting in his bamboo bed and began to quench his Dantian and five internal organs with Xuan qi, and thus he embarked upon for achieving the peak and perfection level of Demon tyrant form.
Old white and old black returned to the summit of the canyon, and for rest of the day, they remained engaged in playing chess, but the earlier carefree color on their faces had gone and dignified looks had appeared instead.
The things that happened in Qiansi Sect had actually overshadowed the hearts of many elders of Zhentian Sect.
If Zhentian Sect lost to Qiansi Sect in the seven sects competition, then Zhentian tactics would have to be surrendered, and it would be just like a serious detrimental blow to their sect.
Although, an ordinary person might not see the true seriousness of this matter at this time, but when Qiansi Sect would get the Zhentian tactics, they would be able to attract more young talents to join their sect and would ultimately command much greater influence than Zhentian sect.
Continuously for a long time, Zhentian Sect didn’t have fresh bloods to flow in, and taking advantage of it, other sects became more and more strong, and if the things continued in this way, then Zhentian Sect would merely survive in name in the future.
As the elders of Zhentian Sect, both old black and old white were naturally worried about it.
Fortunately, the sovereign ordered to open more resources for the core disciples to practice to enhance their strength by promoting their cultivation within six months, especially for the top five core disciples.
In the seven sects competition, these core disciples were going to be the real heroes!
The survival of these sects was to be decided by their respective victories in the seven sects competition.
Regarding this, Long Yu was also keeping watch, but for him, there was no other way except to practice diligently and enhance his strength beyond his capacity.
“Took the dose of Yu Shan immortality pill, my basic strength of 128 fierce horses has increased to 150 now, it is the limit of Wudao eighth layer. It seems currently, I am too far from entering the Wudao ninth layer.”
“The practice method of ‘Demon tyrant form’ is simple and crude but the process itself is quite painful……”
Long Yu clenched his teeth.
The Xuan qi almost began to boil in his body, quenching his Dantian unceasingly. This step was very important, if any mistake was committed here even for half a minute, it might lead to losing one’s cultivation once and for all, turning him into a disabled person.
For a common person, the pain of quenching Dantian was almost comparable to enduring the sea of flames while being pierced by a mountain of knives at the same time!
But considering Long Yu’s willpower and experience, it was only a mild pain and nothing more.
Under the unceasing quenching of Xuan qi, the Dantian of Long Yu was becoming stronger every time and pushing his practice of ‘Demon tyrant form’ to move towards the peak level.
After five days and numerous rounds of non-stop quenching by the Xuan qi, Long Yu finally reached a critical juncture where with each beat of his heart, the Xuan qi was being transported from his Dantian and throughout his body meridians, forming a continuous circulation.
“Quenching the Dantian has not only strengthened the intensity of the Dantian, but also has established the circulation of Xuan qi in the body meridians, hence increasing the restoration speed of Xuan qi in the body.”
Long Yu thought in his mind. He had never imagined that quenching of Dantian would unexpectedly have such an incredible effect.
According to this logic, so long as the Dantian would remain strong to a certain extent, the Xuan qi content in his body would be endless and he won’t need to worry about the issue of its consumption.
Of course, right now, the intensity of his Dantian was far less than that level, but just after refinement, the regeneration of Xuan qi in his meridians had become faster than before, almost twice of what it used to be before he began the quenching of his Dantian.
“Once the quenching of Dantian is complete, ‘Demon tyrant form’ will reach its peak level then I should be able to use ‘Demon vajra seal’.”
Long Yu thought in his mind.
‘Demon vajra seal’ was a move which could be used after reaching the peak level of ‘Demon tyrant form’. While using it, he would use Demon vajra cover to congeal hand seal and display its impressive power!
ble to familiarize with the blizzard boots in the running process. While doing so, he might get a chance to interact with his battle weapon!
