Chapter 46: Wind Spirit Physique
The rain is still falling, but it has decreased a lot. Listening to it with my ears, it sounds pattering and dripping. Smelling it with my nose, it's very refreshing.
The bodies of over 400 people at the gate had disappeared and were cleaned up by Tang An's tiger leopard riders.
At this moment, half of Lin'an City seems to have experienced a doomsday disaster, being destroyed thoroughly. Many people are left homeless.
Some people are shouting outside, some people are crying out loud, and more people are standing in the rain, stupidly staring at their own homes.
But in half a day, it's no longer recognizable as its original form here.
The disciples of Jun Tian Jiao have already withdrawn. Ming Ruo Gu has returned to Tian Du City, and naturally, no one dares to stay here.
That's absolutely suicidal!
Today, Tang An and Wuji's great battle has been deeply imprinted in each of their minds.
It turns out that Tianjing strongmen are so formidable!
That earth-shattering feeling, they think it's terrifying. The scene where the sky and earth turned dark under that one sword, they will never forget for the rest of their lives.
Many people used to think that even the strongest Tianjie expert was just one person. No matter how powerful a person is, there will always be a time when their true yuan is exhausted. As long as someone keeps going up to consume his true yuan, he will eventually get tired. But today, they finally realized that this idea was completely wrong!
Even if it were possible to make up for the number of people, under that intense attack, without tens of thousands of people, it would be impossible to exhaust the strength of a Tianjing strongman.
Moreover, Tang An killed the Crown Prince, and Zuo Shi unexpectedly didn't say a word and left.
What does this represent?
Is it... that even Zuo Ci has no confidence either?
Thinking of this, they didn't dare think about it anymore. They said nothing and silently followed the main force, directly withdrawing from Lin'an City.
……
Inside the Tang's residence, the candlelight was resplendent, illuminating the hall as brightly as daylight.
Tang's father and mother had been smiling from ear to ear since dinner started and hadn't closed their mouths once.
Tang An sat beside Tang Father, recounting the events of these years. Of course, Tang An didn't mention those unpleasant things, only briefly mentioning what happened to him in Yanjing City, and as for the eight years of bitter cultivation on the mountain that was not human, and the events on Mount Shu, he didn't say a word.
Tang Fu listened to Tang An's successive defeats of several top masters in the Jianghu at Yanjing City, among whom was surprisingly the head of Shu Mountain and also the great sword saint of Western Kunlun. He felt comforted and stroked his beard, nodding repeatedly, saying: "My son is such a naturally talented genius, it must be the blessing of my ancestors! Entering the heavenly realm at 16 years old, how many Jianghu people can't even think about it in their lifetime? My son achieved this at 16 years old, this is a great thing! Tomorrow, I will bathe and burn incense to pray to our ancestors."
Tang's mother and Mu Hongyu sat together, extremely happy, with a clear joy on their faces.
She pulled Mu Hongyu's hand and chatted on and on, occasionally pointing at Tang An and whispering something to Mu Hongyu. It was probably about Tang An's childhood. Mu Hongyu's beautiful eyes sparkled as she sneaked a glance at Tang An, seeing that his face had an unusual flush. She was overjoyed in her heart. "He's back home, and his personality has indeed changed. Before, he wouldn't have made such an expression! However, his home is really warm and cozy, no wonder he wanted to come back so much."
When Tang's mother mentioned that Tang An had stolen silver tickets from his father's study, wearing open-crotch pants and wanting to leave home to make a name for himself in the jianghu. Mu Hongyu couldn't help but think of Tang An's sly appearance at the time and burst out laughing. This laugh made her already beautiful face even more radiant. But immediately after, she sighed inwardly: "In just ten short years, he has already reached the end of his jianghu journey."
Xiao Xie was engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a large chicken leg, when she heard Mu Hongyu's laughter. She lifted her head out of the bowl, looked suspiciously at him for a moment, and saw that his face had darkened slightly. Not understanding why, she continued to focus on her own chicken leg. With food all over her face, looking like a little flower cat, everyone burst out laughing.
Tang An glanced at Mu Hongyu, and Mu Hongyu had a feeling in her heart. She already knew what Tang An wanted to say. She couldn't help but slightly lower her head, looking a bit shy.
That was the most important thing in a girl's life, and she finally found her soulmate. Unfortunately, there were no family members to bless her. When she thought of this, her nose became a bit stuffy. However, she suddenly saw Little Evil raise his head and grin foolishly at her, then lift up his sleeve and wipe his mouth vigorously, with a greasy face.
She was suddenly amused. The Shu Mountain natal family was gone, fortunately, she still had a master, and such a lovely friend.
Tang An slowly got up and walked to Mu Hongyu's side, pulling her hand. Mu Hongyu naturally wouldn't dodge and stood up with Tang An.
"Father, mother, I want to marry Hongyu as my wife. In a few days, when we return to Zhongzhou, I plan to hold the wedding."
Tang Fu nodded, this is a matter of time. From the eyes of the two people, it's absolutely impossible to be an ordinary friend relationship. However, Tang Mu said: "Will it be too hasty? Marriage is a big deal, not a child's play, and being so hasty will make others laugh at you. You are now a marquis of the imperial court, and Xiaoyu will also become a marchioness in the future. If the wedding is done on a small scale, it will be unfair to Xiaoyu. This is not good."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not feeling wronged. As long as he has me in his heart, that's enough." As she spoke, Mu Hongyu's hand was already tightly clasped with Tang An's.
Inseparable!
Tang An patted Mu Hongyu's hand and said, "Listen to me. From now on, we'll be together for the rest of our lives. I don't want you to have any regrets in your heart. Since that's the case, let's make our wedding a grand one!"
Xiao Xie heard the two words "marriage" and raised her head, but she quickly lowered it again, pouting, with a hint of unhappiness in her eyes, saying in a low voice: "Just you two playing, not letting me play, not fair..."
……
The dinner party had already ended, but just as Tang An walked out of the door, he suddenly remembered the voice of the system.
Ding~ Congratulations, host! You have defeated the top expert of Tianjing Peak and obtained 500 points of reputation. Additionally, your agility attribute has reached its peak and is no longer suitable for the current system phase. The system will make the following adjustments: based on your current strength at the peak of Tianjing, the system will automatically provide you with a Wind Spirit Pill, directly transforming you into a Wind Spirit Body, allowing you to communicate with the wind power between heaven and earth, and enter the Great Tianjing!
Not long after, Tang An felt a sudden surge throughout his body, and an indescribable feeling instantly filled his mind.
This divine thought is the product of spiritual power reaching a certain realm, without any physical form. However, at this moment, Tang An felt that on top of his head, at the Tianmen acupoint, a white light suddenly appeared.
This white light is very similar to the divine thought, but the energy contained in it is more than ten times greater. As soon as Tang An's mind moved, a green wind began to stir around him, and he felt that the true yuan inside his body was thicker. And its quality was even more different from before. Every meridian flowing with true yuan contains infinite energy.
With a wave of his hand, the air around him was under his control. In this world, he is God!
If a strong being from the Grand Heaven Realm wants to kill a strong being from the Small Heaven Realm, they only need to use their usual abilities and it will almost be effortless!
"Heaven and earth have five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Heaven and earth have four images: earth, water, wind, and fire. Among them, earth, fire, and water are interconnected, while metal, wood, and wind are different. If there is a big difference between these five elements and four images, it must be the result of their fusion, rather than the most basic yuanli (primordial energy)." Tang An thought to this point, vaguely grasping some key points of cultivating the Great Heaven Realm.
However, for now, his top priority is to master the Wind Chasing Yuan Force.
Tang An closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing the primal energy in the wind.
"Hah!" "Hah!"...
The strange melody carried in the wind completely captivated Tang An. He was originally agile and fast, but his martial arts skills didn't have any extraordinary effects. However, after being transformed into a Wind Spirit body by the system, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be infinite energy available for him to use in the air. The world around him also seemed like an energy reserve tank, allowing him to draw upon it at will, and he no longer had to worry about running out of true yuan.
"The Great Heaven Realm, the divine soul communicates with heaven and earth, the true yuan is inexhaustible. It turns out to be this way. The strong in the Great Heaven Realm have fierce attacks, using several times or even dozens of times more true yuan than during the Heaven Realm period. Although the true yuan in their bodies is dense, it will definitely dry up faster. If they can extract from heaven and earth, then the strong in the Great Heaven Realm are far stronger than those in the Heaven Realm."
The gap between heaven and man is tenfold. Once you enter the heavenly realm, every difference in level means that it can no longer be made up for by human numbers!
Tang An had been standing in the courtyard for half a time, during which he constantly used his divine soul to communicate with heaven and earth, and comprehend the wind movement yuan force in the air. However, every time his divine soul made contact, he would have new experiences, this heavenly secret was truly too profound.
At the beginning of his journey, Tang An had already felt a lot, and he also thought that what he felt was only a little skin of this wind path. Thinking about it, it's no wonder, people who cross the Great Heaven Boundary are basically non-existent, because it's really too difficult!
Tang An had yet to extricate himself from the excitement of entering the Grand Heaven Realm when the system's next prompt appeared.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. The Tongtian Map has been completed and directly implanted into the host's brain. Please review it."
Tang An was taken aback, and then a strange map appeared in his mind.
This map has crisscrossing rivers and misty fog, with many large and small notes scattered on it.
One of the maps had a large red X marked on it, with the annotation "Endless Abyss". It was the gathering place for underground demonic creatures! On another map, there was a dark patch annotated as "Green Smoke Poison". If someone inhaled this poison, once their true yuan was depleted, they would rot to death within three days!
But among these dangerous areas, there is still a thin red line. This red line winds and turns, with an unknown length, and this route will change at any time, completely leaving people bewildered! Perhaps the current path is correct, but taking one more step, as the map changes, the ground beneath your feet is no longer a safe area, but rather a gathering place for monsters or a deep abyss of death.
Tang An felt a chill run down his spine as he gazed out at the scene before him: "Such a treacherous terrain, it's fundamentally not something that can be created by human hands! But even if nature were to wield its divine craftsmanship, it shouldn't be possible to create a region that changes so suddenly and unpredictably, right? So just how was this place formed? Was it created by the gods?"
"No matter what, no matter if this place is naturally generated or man-made. This road must be fraught with danger, a path of nine deaths and one life. If others were to take this road, it would be ten deaths and no life! However, now that I have the complete map, I should be able to grasp at least five levels!"
"What does it look like above the sky? How big is this world anyway? I really want to go out and take a look."
