No. 3 Ancient Sword Sect
It is a sect established on a high mountain. Although the buildings within the sect are not very tall, each one points directly to the sky, evoking a sense of ambition that soars to the heavens, leaving an unforgettable impression at first glance
This cultivation method differs from ordinary practices. In ordinary cultivation, the first step is to absorb spiritual energy and transform it into true energy, which is then stored in the dantian. Following this, one utilizes their will to transport it, opening up the acupoints throughout the body and advancing to higher realms
Thank you, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations. Upon hearing Yun Kong's words, Yun Liang's eyes brightened suddenly, and his mood improved significantly
The letter discusses matters concerning this valley, stating that it is a naturally formed powerful formation. Without the proper method, one cannot leave, and the method to leave is recorded in the second volume of the "Ancient Sword Classic"
After completely releasing his strength in the water, Qi Feng hurriedly surfaced and then swam towards the shore
However, this matter made him keenly aware of a hint of conspiracy, yet he could never understand why this old fellow would target a junior like Qi Feng and go to such lengths.
... ...
Following his gaze, one could see that this valley was only a few hundred meters in height
At this moment, I am falling downwards.
However, this cultivation method does not require the dantian, or rather, it does not require the dantian at this moment; one can completely cultivate on their own. This gives him a sense of having reached a dead end in the mountains and rivers, only to find a new village after the dark willows and blooming flowers.
If he had not seen himself being thrown down from above earlier, he would have thought he was in the midst of a bottomless abyss
Thinking to oneself, in this current state, death seems to be a rather good choice, thus one closed their eyes, awaiting the arrival of death
However, now that his dantian has been destroyed, he has become a useless person, unable to cultivate any further. From this point on, he has completely severed ties with Qin Mu, and there will never be a day of reunion.
Isn't it said that the method of leaving is recorded in the second level of the Ancient Sword Classic? Why is there not even the second level? Qi Feng became anxious; if he could not leave this place, then even if he could cultivate, it would be meaningless
After being thrown down the canyon by that disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect, Qi Feng felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, his body continuously descending without ever reaching the bottom
Before he could figure out the reason, he felt a swelling in his brain, as if something was forcefully stuffed into his head
"It is not true, this is not true..." Qi Feng still cannot believe that this is real, because the only motivation for his diligent cultivation was to be able to live together with Qin Mu
Not long after, Qi Feng gradually awakened, but as soon as he came to, he immediately felt a strong pain radiating from his abdomen
Moreover, when viewed from below, there is not a trace of mist above; it is completely clear, and one can even see the fluffy white clouds in the sky
However, when he wanted to continue reading the second core principle, he found that there was nothing in his memory at all
Subsequently, he began to study the "Ancient Sword Classic".
Go ahead!" After Yun Kong finished speaking this sentence, he slowly closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to Yun Liang. At this moment, Yun Liang was filled with excitement, respectfully bowed, and turned to leave the sword room
After Yunliang left, Yunkong opened his eyes again, a glimmer of brilliance flashing in his gaze. He muttered to himself, "The body of the Xuan Nu, I have truly gone to great lengths to obtain you. I hope you will not let me down in my aspirations and desires."
Upon witnessing this scene, Qi Feng was taken aback and hurriedly focused his mind, adjusting his posture to plunge headfirst into the water
Gradually, this nameless canyon became a significant forbidden area in the realm of cultivation, later named the Canyon of Despair by future generations. The term 'despair' signifies a lack of hope, and the canyon where Qi Feng fell is precisely this place
Having reached the shore, Qi Feng lay on the ground, but before he could catch his breath, he was seized. After coughing for a while, he looked up with a fixed gaze, his face filled with disbelief
In the next moment, as the mist dissipated, a series of magnificent buildings, perched atop the mountains, resembling a scene from a painting, appeared before his eyes
Feeling his body plummeting rapidly, Qi Feng's heart suddenly tightened, but in an instant, he felt a sense of relief.
What kind of sect is this? Qi Feng felt puzzled and instinctively looked towards the main gate, where he saw the three large characters "Ancient Sword Sect" inscribed.
He cannot understand why they treat him this way; he simply wants to be with his sister. Is there anything wrong with that?
Qi Feng, do not blame me for being ruthless; this is the order of Elder Yun Kong. If you do not die, then I must die..." As he spoke, the disciple cast a sympathetic glance at Qi Feng and directly threw him off the cliff.
"This person speaks insolently; it is already an act of leniency not to execute him. " After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Yan Qing and directly shouted outside: "Come here, expel this person from the mountain gate!"
What on earth is going on here, and where exactly is this... He then recalled the scene he had previously witnessed at the Ancient Sword Sect, and his confusion deepened.
To understand that a person's dantian is the foundation of cultivation, once the dantian is damaged, that person will be forever estranged from cultivation, which is more painful than death itself
Upon seeing this, Qi Feng's eyes lit up
The initiation of this mental technique relies almost not at all on the dantian; instead, it allows the sword essence to roam freely within one's body
As time went on, he began to feel a strange sensation
"Junior brother, why did you break his dantian?" Yan Qing did not expect that Yun Kong's hands were so ruthless, directly shattering Qi Feng's dantian.
Having spoken, he closed his eyes once more
After all, the core techniques of a sect are the foundation of its establishment; if these techniques were to be leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable
Having organized my emotions, I turned over to look down and found that the area beneath me was also shrouded in thick fog, obscuring everything from view
Throughout history, countless individuals have ventured into it or have accidentally fallen into it, yet to this day, not a single person has emerged from it
Moreover, Yun Kong's reaction made him feel that this matter was even more unusual
A cold wind howled past, startling Qi Feng awake. Looking down, he discovered that he was actually above an abyss of unimaginable depth
Shaoyang also seemed not to have anticipated that matters would develop to this point, and gradually, she calmed down, reflecting on the situation and noticing some discrepancies.
However, at this moment, Qi Feng's dantian has been destroyed, and the situation is irreversible. He can no longer change anything. Rather than keeping him at the Qinglian Sword Sect to suffer, it would be better to let him descend the mountain and find some relief.
By the way, it seems that something just got stuffed into his head! Instinctively, he began to think, and in the next moment, he discovered that numerous memories had appeared in his mind, which included a letter and a sword technique from the Ancient Sword Sect, "The Ancient Sword Classic"
The disciple took his leave. With the matter in Shaoyang having reached this point, she had nothing more to say, so she respectfully bowed and then turned to leave
There are two benefits to doing this. First, it allows disciples to focus on their cultivation without being influenced by the advanced techniques that follow. Second, it serves to prevent the leakage of the sect's core martial arts.
However, upon seeing these three characters, the scenery before him changed once again; the magnificent buildings vanished into thin air, and a vast lake appeared before his eyes
What exactly is this place? Qi Feng could not help but feel puzzled, yet no one could answer the questions in his heart
"Senior brother, this matter has been resolved, junior brother shall take his leave." Having said this, without waiting for Yan Qing to respond, Yun Kong vanished from the spot. However, the atmosphere in the Law Enforcement Hall became exceptionally oppressive.
This flowing water is an essential item for cultivating profound-level medicinal herbs, and it is of considerable value. If she were to purchase it, she would feel a pinch in her wallet. It is truly unreasonable for an outer disciple, to whom she has shown kindness, to use it against her.
To know, his dantian has been damaged, and unless there are high-level elixirs to repair it, he will be destined to have no connection with cultivation for the rest of his life
However, he has never heard of a sect called the Ancient Sword Sect in the realm of cultivation, and there seems to be no historical record of this sect.
Meanwhile, within the Qinglian Sword Sect, in a sword chamber, Yun Kong sat on a mat, beside him stood a handsome man dressed in a white robe, his eyes fixed on Yun Kong, revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation.
One hundred miles north of the Qinglian Sword Sect lies a canyon known as the Valley of Despair. This canyon is shrouded in thick mist all day long, rendering it impossible for cultivators to see the ground, exuding an indescribable aura of mystery
"Liang Er, Qi Feng is dead, and the greatest obstacle between you and Qin Mu no longer exists. This time, if you fail again, then never come to see me again," Yun Kong said sternly.
At this moment, Yan Qing's mood was quite poor. He did not stop Yun Kong from expelling Qi Feng from the mountain gate, not because he did not want to help Qi Feng, but because he was a step too late.
... ...
How is this possible ... ... One must know that Qi Feng fell for a long time before reaching the bottom. He cannot say much else, but he can be certain that the height he fell from is definitely more than just a few hundred meters
The more Qi Fengfeng thought about it, the more he felt this possibility, and his heart gradually relaxed.
What puzzled Qi Feng was that this letter made no mention of the matters concerning the Ancient Sword Sect
Fortunately, the force of the fall has been significantly weakened by the sudden impact earlier; otherwise, even if there were water below, it is likely that I would not have been able to escape this calamity
A disciple entered from outside, lifted the unconscious Qi Feng, and turned to leave the Law Enforcement Hall
"You may leave now." Yan Qing waved his hand at her, signaling her to depart
Subconsciously controlling his mind to focus on the source of the pain, he soon discovered that a hole had actually appeared in his dantian.
The disciple stood at the edge of the cliff, witnessing Qi Feng being engulfed by the mist below, and could not help but let out a sigh before turning to leave
If he could have prevented Yun Kong from breaking through Qi Feng's dantian, then there would be significance in keeping Qi Feng alive
Could it be that it is sealed? Only by mastering the first level of the heart method can one see the second level? Qi Feng couldn't help but speculate, as this is how the current cultivation sects pass on their teachings.
After a while, he suddenly felt a resistance in his body, as if he had collided with an airbag, and the force of his descent was significantly countered.
