Chapter 118 Collapse
"There may even be top experts who have reached the Celestial Longevity Realm."
"With such a foundation, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty can definitely squeeze into the top four of the martial arts world of all dynasties."
He said with a heavy heart.
Everyone in the private room nodded in agreement, and they couldn't help but feel saddened by the thought of Bei Li Jianghu's weak strength.
This is the difference in foundation.
The Beili Dynasty has a history of two hundred years since its founding. During this period, some earth-shattering events have occurred, which have dealt a particularly heavy blow to the martial arts world.
Fortunately, there was Su Xinghe, who guarded the Kunlun Mountains in Bei, who could be considered a source of support for Bei Li Jianghu.
Otherwise, how could Beili Jianghu have any face left in front of other Jianghu?
It's in the ninth private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Song Yuanqiao asked in surprise, "What? Master is only ranked fourth on the list of top masters? This... how is that possible?"
The other Wudang disciples also wore expressions of disbelief.
In their hearts, Zhang Sanfeng was a god-like figure!
Even after witnessing the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking and the Nine Provinces Blade Immortal Ranking, they understood that the martial world was vast and full of powerful figures.
But they firmly believed that Zhang Sanfeng was invincible in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
However, this belief has now been ruthlessly shattered, leaving them struggling to accept it.
Zhang Sanfeng himself remained calm, gently stroking his beard and smiling as he said:
"There are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. I'm just over a hundred years old, far inferior to those immortals. How dare I claim to be invincible?"
"Judging from the current situation, it is not impossible for a master of the Celestial Longevity Realm to appear in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao and the others all fell silent.
This is indeed the case.
Their confidence in Zhang Sanfeng stemmed partly from his longevity of 110 years and his profound inner strength.
But with more and more immortal beings appearing, Zhang Sanfeng's age of over a hundred years is indeed nothing special.
Not to mention those who are older than Zhang Sanfeng, such as the Dragonwood Island Master and the Sunflower Ancestor.
If another immortal cultivator were to appear who could live for hundreds of years, Zhang Sanfeng's age would be even less significant.
But after hearing what Zhang Sanfeng said next, they couldn't help but be shocked.
The immortality of the gods!
This realm can be considered the pinnacle of martial arts in the human world, and is completely different from the terrestrial celestial beings.
The fact that one can sense the Heavenly Emperor within the Divine Kingdom based solely on this level of understanding demonstrates their extraordinary nature.
There probably aren't many people in the world who can reach this level.
If there were such figures in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, it would surely trigger an earth-shattering revolution.
Not only the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, but the entire world will be shaken.
In the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Zhang Sanfeng truly deserves to be the leading figure in the martial arts world of our Great Ming Dynasty. He has already reached the terrestrial celestial realm."
"I just didn't expect that with Master Zhang's cultivation of 687 years, he still couldn't make it into the top three."
Ximen Chuixue said coldly, his fists clenched.
In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, few people disrespected Zhang Sanfeng.
Even a ruthless swordsman like Ximen Chuixue held Zhang Sanfeng in high esteem.
In the hearts of all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world, Zhang Sanfeng was like the highest mountain and the longest river.
He is the object of admiration and pursuit of all martial arts masters.
But now, this belief is crumbling.
Hua Manlou said, "I am quite interested in what Tianji Xianren said about Zhang Zhenren's Buddhist background."
"There have been rumors in the martial arts world for a long time, but no one has ever confirmed them."
"After all, investigating Zhang Zhenren's background is something that happened a hundred years ago."
Sikong Zhaixing shook his head as he spoke.
Hua Manlou said, "In that case, why not just ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal?"
After saying that, he walked out of the private room, stood in front of the railing on the third floor, and shouted:
"I am willing to pay two million taels of silver as a divination fee to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal a question."
What exactly is the relationship between Master Zhang and Buddhism? What is the supreme Buddhist divine skill he cultivates?
The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
This is something that many chivalrous figures in the martial arts world are curious about.
No one is as extravagant as Hua Manlou, who casually spends millions of taels of silver to ask a question.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the white jade platform, waiting for Su Chen to give his answer.
Upon seeing Hua Manlou's question, Su Chen immediately accessed the system to check.
The system quickly responded:
"Successfully told Hua Manlou's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining a top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill."
Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill?
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up immediately; this was a good thing.
He had received this elixir during the previous monthly evaluation, so he was familiar with its effects.
This elixir can not only improve cultivation level, but also greatly increase the success rate of breakthroughs.
In particular, the success rate of breaking through from the half-step Divine Realm to the Divine Realm can be increased by at least 50%.
As long as you have some accumulation at the half-step Divine Travel Realm, and then take this pill, you can basically enter the Divine Travel Profound Realm steadily.
Even for experts who have already reached the Divine Realm, this pill can help them increase their chances of breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm by about 20%.
Although the pill is useless to Su Chen now,
However, for Li Hanyi, Yaoyue, Ye Ruoyi, and others, it is a rare and valuable medicine that can bring great benefits.
As he pondered, Su Chen's smile deepened. He slowly unfolded his folding fan and said:
"As I said before,
Zhang Sanfeng was originally a Buddhist monk, whose original name was Zhang Junbao, and he came from the Shaolin Temple of the Ming Dynasty.
"Although he is a Shaolin monk, his martial arts foundation does not come from Shaolin."
"Because at Shaolin, he was just a disciple of Jueyuan, a monk in the servants' quarters."
"According to Shaolin's rules, servants in the menial quarters are not allowed to practice authentic Shaolin internal martial arts."
"Zhang Sanfeng's master, Jueyuan, was a true practitioner, born with a compassionate heart, who devoted himself to studying various Buddhist scriptures and had no interest in Shaolin martial arts."
“Most monks in the common servants’ quarters would at least learn a few simple Shaolin boxing techniques, but he believed that wielding a spear and boxing went against the original intention of Buddhism and insisted on not learning them.”
"Whenever Jueyuan saw Shaolin monks practicing martial arts, he would stay far away."
"Therefore, although Zhang Sanfeng stayed in Shaolin for many years, he knew nothing about Shaolin martial arts."
"But what no one knew was that this seemingly dull Jueyuan was actually the person with the strongest internal strength in Shaolin in the past hundred years!"
"Even Jueyuan himself didn't know that he had unknowingly broken through to the peak of the Divine Travel Profound Realm!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
Although there were rumors in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Sanfeng had some connection with Shaolin.
But that happened hundreds of years ago, and no one can provide any evidence.
Now that Su Chen has said this, everyone is finally certain that Zhang Sanfeng did indeed come from Shaolin in his early years and was a Shaolin disciple.
This news shocked everyone.
The leading figure in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, a top master of the Taoist sect, actually comes from the Buddhist sect.
Such news, once it gets out, is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Taoist sect.
But after hearing the rest, everyone was still confused.
Zhang Sanfeng was born in Shaolin, but he never practiced Shaolin martial arts.
His master, Jueyuan, devoted himself to Buddhist practice, yet possessed the cultivation level of the peak of the Divine Travel Mystic Realm.
Chapter 119 spread
How do you explain this?
Filled with questions, everyone could only look at Bai Yutai again, waiting for Su Chen to continue his explanation.
Su Chen didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"Jueyuan's internal strength did not come from nowhere, but relied on a supreme Buddhist divine skill."
"This skill is called the Nine Yang Divine Skill. It was created two hundred years ago by a reclusive master, the Drunken Monk."
"This drunken monk is truly an extraordinary person. Although he is a monk, he has thoroughly studied the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism."
"He was neither a pure monk nor a follower of Taoism or Confucianism, but he seemed to be all three, truly achieving the unity of the three teachings and reaching an extremely high level."
"The Nine Yang Divine Skill is the culmination of the Drunken Monk's life's work. Although it is called 'Nine Yang,' it is actually a top-notch internal skill that balances Yin and Yang and combines strength and gentleness."
"If one can reach the highest level, the true energy within the body can connect with heaven and earth, and the internal force will be continuous. Even ordinary punches and kicks can unleash amazing power."
"Moreover, this skill has extremely strong defensive capabilities, comparable to the Innate Qi, and can even automatically deflect external attacks."
