Chapter 104: Eggplant?
Return to the room, directly start practicing qigong to recover internal energy, and when your vital energy is restored to its peak, then urge the Purple Mist True Energy to flow into your right hand index finger.
This time the true energy operation is different from before. When the internal force was weak, even if the meridians were unblocked and smooth, it would still be difficult to avoid some loss along the way, and at most 70-80% of the internal force would remain when it reached the fingertips. This is because the meridian on the right hand's index finger has been used repeatedly, and is much smoother than other meridians.
If he were to casually switch the ring to another finger, he might lose more than half of his inner power, and the thing that was summoned would be even more troublesome.
Now that the inner energy has all turned into Purple Mist True Qi, the flow of True Qi is no longer hindered. Although this is also related to the fact that most meridians are more unobstructed after penetrating the Heavenly and Earthly Mysterious Passes, it is also a fact that the True Qi has become stronger and more condensed. Ordinary obstacles can't stop it at all. Finally, 90% of the power was sent to the ring finger, almost 90% of which was swallowed by the ring.
"Maybe something good will come out of this?"
All the strength was sucked dry, leaving only a little bit of basic true energy still residing in the dantian. This bit of true energy is something that cannot be consumed no matter what, it's almost like the original true energy. As long as this foundation remains, then no matter how much true energy is consumed, it can all be recovered. If even this bit of true energy is absorbed, then it's equivalent to having wasted an entire body of internal strength, there's no difference.
Every time I summon it, I have to be careful, and later I find that this ring is very magical. Every time it comes to the last moment, the ring will automatically stop, it seems that he is very familiar with the situation in his body.
After another circulation of the Purple Mist Divine Art, he slightly recovered and opened his eyes. Having summoned many times, he was no longer as eager to check what he had obtained as before.
"I'm much more calm and composed now than I was back then."
The shameless self-praise brought the thin book in hand to the front, and the four characters that entered the eyes made people very surprised "Zi Qi Tian Luo"
"How did you manage to get this thing out? This move doesn't seem very powerful, does it?"
Actually, since the completion of the Purple Cloud Divine Art, he had been expecting to obtain a powerful manual skill to match his inner strength. Regardless of whether it was fist, palm, knife or sword, he could accept it, but he was afraid that if he obtained another internal skill manual, there might be conflicts. Let's not talk about this for now, just the cultivation of this internal skill alone would take a long time and wasn't something he could endure.
He had originally expected to get his hands on something like the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms or the Pulse Spirit Sword, so that when he next faced that Furious Eyes Golden Gong Elder, he would have a few more chances of winning. Because these two sets of skills did not conflict with what he was currently learning, and also because they could instantly increase the user's combat strength.
As for Dugu Jian and Zhan's palm, he hadn't even considered it. Dugu Jian's requirements for enlightenment were simply too abnormal, and he wasn't even sure if he could understand that bunch of inexplicable incantations. In contrast, the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms was a more practical martial art that could improve his strength by simply following the manual.
The reason why the palm technique is so gloomy is that it requires the Yin True Classic as its foundation. Without the Yin True Classic, some of the moves cannot be used. It's not like they would generously give away a manual on palm techniques along with a complimentary set of matching skills. What's even more ridiculous is that this palm technique also requires a certain emotional state to fully understand its connotation, and in terms of absurdity, it's hardly any better than the Lion's Roar Gun.
Why did he burn the Lion's Roar Bomb? Because he didn't need to look at the secret recipe of the Lion's Roar Bomb to know how to practice it, the problem is that the principle of this martial art is really beyond his comprehension. If he understood it, he could also come up with the Fierce Tiger Flying Car.
"Even sending me a light skill book would be good"
Muttering to himself, he opened the secret book and studied it carefully. In any case, this Purple Air Heaven's Net was a top-notch secret book, whether or not he could practice it would have to wait until later, even if he really couldn't cultivate it, being able to ponder such a profound secret book wouldn't be without its benefits.
After flipping through the entire book, it turns out that the introduction to the Purple Qi Heaven's Net method is much less than I thought, because this set of Purple Qi Heaven's Net doesn't even count as a pure internal skill.
"It would be more accurate to say that it is an application method of internal force, although it has its own unique way of practicing, this unique practice is for the sake of achieving some special effects of Zi Qi Tian Luo, and does not affect the user's own internal strength."
Recalling some details about this set of martial arts in the original work, he could hardly remember anything. He only remembered that the only person who used this technique, Tian Jun Xiying, was killed by one of the main characters. This set of martial arts sounded very mysterious, but its combat record didn't have any outstanding features - perhaps it was tragic because the user happened to be an enemy of the main character.
If it weren't for seeing a post mentioning this kung fu when he was bored in his past life, he probably wouldn't have remembered where this set of kung fu came from.
That post is discussing the origins of the mysterious martial art known as Purple Air Heaven's Net, whether it was created by Xie Ying or if it already existed within Tian Mo's own abilities.
In the original book, Huang Dada wrote a plot here that makes readers extremely entangled. In the previous chapter, it was said that Xi Ying had created a mysterious skill called Purple Air Heavenly Net, which was incredibly powerful and even Yin Hou couldn't help but praise it. Five chapters later, it suddenly became that Xi Ying had successfully cultivated the Purple Air Heavenly Net, a skill that no one had been able to cultivate for three hundred years, and his strength was unfathomable.
"My god, this is utterly brutal!"
At this moment, I also wonder how this martial art is calculated. As a result, after flipping back and forth, I only saw a sentence at the beginning: 'From the Demon Gate Treasure Book - Tian Mo Ce'
"This ring is also quite cunning and sly."
Anyway, whether it was Xiang Ying's insight or learned from Tianmo Ce, this ring actually chose such an ambiguous answer.
"Why didn't you just give me the entire Tianmo strategy set directly?"
He suddenly became very angry and asked his ring a question, although he knew this behavior was extremely stupid. But if it really worked and the entire Tian Mo strategy came out in one breath, would he still need to worry about his martial arts? The Tian Mo strategy collected countless ultimate techniques, and randomly choosing one to practice would be enough for a lifetime.
What's more important is that Tiān Mó Strategy actually contains martial arts that can shatter the void. I don't know if this world has a shattered void or not, but when he might really come into contact with it, he can't help but feel curious.
He had been thinking crookedly, and after pulling his thoughts back together, he focused on the Purple Air Heavenly Net. After carefully reading it through, he was delighted to find that he didn't need to worry about the compatibility of the two martial arts at all. He could completely rely on the Purple Mist True Qi to activate this set of Purple Air Heavenly Net.
The amazing thing about Purple Qi Heaven Net is that it can use its energy to affect the enemy's actions, just like casting a net over them, making their movements slow and clumsy. This naturally puts them at a disadvantage in battle. To put it in terms of online gaming, it's like giving the enemy a negative status effect, such as slowing or hindering, which makes it impossible for them to exert their full strength even if they have it. Of course, its effect on skilled players will weaken infinitely depending on their actual strength.
If it were just that, I wouldn't be so happy, because this Purple Qi Heaven's Net is just an auxiliary technique, not worth being so excited about.
He was delighted to find that he could expand his abilities from some of the usage techniques of Zi Qi Tian Luo.
According to the secret recipe, when the Purple Air Heaven Net is practiced to a high level, anyone within a certain range of the practitioner will be affected, as if trapped in quicksand and unable to extricate themselves. However, this requires extremely high internal strength, which even now cannot be achieved. So what he cares about is not those things, but rather that if this thing can be manipulated to a subtle and profound level, it can completely rely on minute operations to wield even stronger combat power.
For example, when the enemy makes a move, use one's own internal energy to divert it elsewhere - since it is a web, there should be an effect of entanglement. The Purple Air Heaven Net ultimately is a method for manipulating internal energy, so in theory, achieving this point is feasible.
It's also possible to set up a web of energy around oneself, although this would greatly shorten the effective distance. However, it would be even more formidable, as the enemy is constantly moving and no one can guarantee that their own Purple Energy Web will definitely cover the opponent. But if it's set up around oneself, then the opponent would only have to choose to crash head-on into this web of energy.
"It's like this, it seems to be a transformed Tianmo atmosphere..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this kung fu was extremely suitable for his current self. He couldn't wait to start practicing. Fortunately, the internal energy required by some of the earlier realms of Zi Qi Tian Luo was no longer a problem for him, so his progress was quite rapid in the early stages. In less than one night, he had already mastered this magical kung fu.
It's just because his inner strength isn't profound enough that Ziya Tianluo can't bring out the last few layers of boundaries, even though he understands how to use them.
In coordination with the Zi Xia Shen Gong, which was originally skilled in manipulating true energy, the Zi Qi Tian Luo was used with ease and seemed to be a natural fit, not at all like it was just starting to be practiced.
At the same time as using Zi Qi Tian Luo, although his body was still surrounded by purple gas, there was no appearance of skin turning purple, perhaps this had something to do with the great success of Zi Xia Shen Gong?
"I thought I was going to be a vegetable again, but unexpectedly, after Zi Xia's great success, the strange phenomenon of the Purple Air Heavenly Net was also immunized"
Laughing to himself, the smoke on his hand changed and wove into a large net in an instant. With a casual grab, he scooped up the teacup on the table, and with a quick pull, the cup was caught in the net and brought over to him in the blink of an eye.
"This skill is not bad, it's just that this purple gas seems too eye-catching"
Scratching my head, it seems that this problem isn't difficult to solve either. As long as I don't force my power to the extreme, the purple energy shouldn't appear. But like this, at most I can only play with some dead objects, if I were to face an enemy, its effect is almost negligible.
With a wave of his left hand, the treasured sword hanging by the bedside immediately flew out of its scabbard and into his hand. He swung it twice with a flourish before tossing it back to its sheath.
He had intended to use the Purple Air Heaven's Net to control the long sword's momentum, and then directly let it fly back into its scabbard. However, this difficulty coefficient was too high, completely not something a beginner like him could control well. So, the sword tip slightly deviated, bumped against the scabbard, and then bounced off to one side.
"Hmm... it's nothing, practicing like this can also improve my control over this skill"
Pick up the long sword and put it away, suddenly realizing that one's kung fu seems to be all about controlling the flow - whether it's the Zi Xia Shen Gong or the Zi Qi Tian Luo, both emphasize fine control. The Zi Qi Tian Luo appears to be a very meticulous technique, like Xi Ying's big opening and closing, straightforward approach, which is simply a waste of a rare skill.
This purple energy Heaven's Net must be used well, confident that it can produce the effect of fighting and moving stars or the great movement of乾坤, and even oneself can use the purple energy Heaven's Net to urge that set of Tai Chi fist which is fundamentally only used for nourishing life to be used against enemies.
Anyway, I finally got a good skill set that can be used immediately. Plug-and-play stuff is what he desperately needs right now, and he even wishes to summon again to see if there are more similar martial arts.
"Never mind, I'll just practice this Purple Heaven Sword Technique until I can use it at will. Ah, the sun is rising again... He casually drew out his long sword and walked to the door, tossing it behind him once more - still not quite making it into the scabbard, but a bit closer than last time."
"Practice slowly......" With this set of Purple Air Heaven Net, although he felt that even if he still couldn't defeat the two elders of Tian Le Gang, but even if he had to fight against the two at the same time, self-protection would be no problem.
On this side, he obtained the Purple Qi Heaven's Net and desperately cultivated it. On the other side, Guo Nu and Pei Wei furrowed their brows and stared at each other without speaking a word.
"Pei Gong died in Shu Mountain"
Pei Wei opened his mouth and it was this confirmed news. This news had actually been passed on for a long time, but the Tian Le Gang couldn't confirm whether the news was true or false, so they repeatedly sent people to verify it, and only now did they have a definite conclusion.
"I've already gathered the scattered brothers from all over Pingzhou back to their respective docks, and for these days, don't let those brothers run wild again." Guo's angry eyebrows were also furrowed.
Pei Wei nodded, but didn't say a word. Originally, he was not in favor of the leader sending Guo Nu to Pingzhou as well, thinking that with his own arrival, this trivial matter would be easily resolved? Who would have thought that things would turn out to be much more complicated than he had anticipated, and even Pei Gonglie, who had gone to provoke the Shushan Sect, ended up dying there.
He was confident that he could fight against Pei Gonglie, but he didn't think he could defeat that mysterious and unpredictable guy, let alone kill him.
"Did the Shushan Sect use some kind of trick to kill that madman?" This is currently the most popular speculation, because the name of Chi Yang Shen Jun is very loud, and many people do not believe that a sect that was originally unknown in Pingzhou suddenly appeared and killed him.
In addition to releasing the news at that time, it was intentionally vague, only saying that Pei Gonglie ran to the Shushan School to make trouble and was killed by the head of the school in person. The specific details were not mentioned at all. It is precisely because of this statement that more speculation has been added. After Guo Nu heard the news, he kept guessing, but even now, he still can't guess a conclusion that satisfies himself.
He himself was not satisfied, let alone convincing others, so Guo Nu had been at a loss for what to do these days. Originally, according to his estimation, even if the Shu Shan Sect had an expert, it would not be possible to be a match for Pei Gonglie. Even if they could really deal with Pei Gonglie, Chi Yang Shen Jun should not have fallen so beautifully on the mountain.
In that case, whether it is to find Pei Gonglie in person or according to Pei Gonglie's injuries, one can have a more intuitive understanding of the strength of Mount Shu Sect.
If Pei Gonglie's injury was not severe, then the two were likely to be evenly matched. The Shushan Sect also had another trump card, so they chose to concede in the end. Guo Nu specially investigated Pei Gonglie and found that although he was a bit crazy, he wasn't an idiot who would charge forward despite knowing it was futile. His craziness came from his confidence in achieving his goals, which only appeared when he knew he could succeed.
Otherwise, with Pei Gonglie's style of doing things, he would have died countless times in a head-on collision. From this point on, Pei Gonglie and he do share some similarities.
If the injury is severe, then there must be a master with similar strength to He and Pei Gong on the mountain, but there are no other strong people, so the two of them fought fiercely in the end, neither gaining an advantage. In this case, Guo Nu would not be afraid, and even considered taking the opportunity to directly attack and gain an advantage.
But no matter how hard he tried, he never expected Pei Gonglie to die directly on Mount Shu. How could he estimate the strength of the Mount Shu Sect now? What kind of realm would allow Pei Gonglie to die like that? Guo Nu asked himself if he was stronger than Pei Gonglie, and if he were to rush to Mount Shu's smashing grounds, wouldn't he also be gone for good?
Pei Wei's thoughts were similar to his at this time, and the two of them sat there in a daze, thinking about what level the Shu Shan Sect's combat power had reached. With the Tian Le Gang's influence in Pingzhou, could they really wipe out this sect?
“Hmph, thinking about it is giving me a headache, what's the point of all this trouble? I might as well go to Mount Shu myself and see if it's really a den of dragons and tigers,” said Pei Wei. After speaking, he wanted to take his sword and leave, intending to personally test the strength of Mount Shu. As for whether he would also die there, he couldn't think that far ahead at the moment.
Kuo was enraged by the sight, and immediately stopped Pei Wei: "How can you be so reckless with such a big thing? Have you been wandering around outside all these years and ended up on a dog's body?"
Although they are all four great elders, Guo Nu is the elder among the four great elders. This title is not just a decoration, but a real one that is higher than the other three.
Pei Wei was scolded and sat back down, feeling resentful: "What can we do about it? We're not going to go fight him, are we just going to sit here and wait for them to come fight us?"
Kuang was furious and didn't speak, he just kept his head down and thought silently.
Originally I was considering Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi, but since everyone says there are too many Jinpai, then let's do the entire Huangpai. Besides, I'm quite fond of this martial art.
