Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 8: Yuncong Tiandao
After returning from the outside, Tang Jie returned to Wu's house.
In the following days, he didn't go out much anymore. He just stayed with the two elders of the Wu family every day, serving as a filial servant and doing the right thing as a son of man.
Occasionally, his wife would send someone to invite them over for dinner, and Tang Jie would not refuse. In his free time, he would even discuss matters with the spiritual masters of the Wei Mansion. Although these spiritual masters are average in strength, they have traveled extensively in the early years and their horizons are still broad. Tang Jie interacted with them and gained a lot of knowledge that could not be learned in the academy.
More than ten days passed, and Tang Jie counted the days and decided it was time to go to Yongsui Mountain.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Tang Jie finally said goodbye to the two elders in the Wei Mansion. As for Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng, they continued to stay in the Wei Mansion. After all, the task was simple and there was no need for them to follow them. However, Tang Jie left Yiyi with Wei Tianchong so that he could easily contact him through Yiyi if he had anything to do.
After leaving the Wei Mansion, Tang Jie took Xiaohu and flew towards Yongsui Mountain.
After about half a day, Tang Jie came to a mountain. He saw that the mountain was steep and the scenery was beautiful. He knew that this was Yongsui Mountain.
Yongsui Mountain is the second largest mountain in Lingzhou. The whole mountain covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers. It is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. There are more than 100 peaks in the mountain, of which 46 are famous. The main peak is Rongcheng Peak, which is nearly four thousand meters high. A peak not far from the main peak is called Shimen Peak, which is the foundation of the Shimen Sect, the Xiuxian Sect where the mineral vein was discovered.
When he arrived at Yongsui Mountain, Tang Jie did not go directly to the Shimen Sect, but went to the local branch first.
The local branch of Xiyue Sect is located in a small town at the foot of Yongsui Mountain. Due to its remote location, the Yongsui branch is much smaller than the branches in other big cities. There is only one principal, two disciples and four deacons in the entire church, who are mainly responsible for reception and supervision.
The spiritual master in charge is named Zhang Taixu. He is also a cultivator in the Hundred Refining Period, but he has entered his sixtieth year and has a head full of white hair. Upon learning that Tang Jie had arrived, Zhang Taixu personally greeted him. Knowing that Tang Jie was here for the mineral veins, he led Tang Jie to Shimen Peak.
When they arrived at Shimen Peak, Zhang Taixu took the lead and landed at the foot of the mountain, saying: "This peak has been guarded by the Shimen Sect, so flying is not allowed. You can only go up the mountain on foot after being notified. No disrespect to our sect is intended." ”
Tang Jie nodded: "I know."
Mountain defense formation is a method used by all factions. It is like an ancient city wall or a country's fence. It has the effect of keeping enemies at bay. It is not easy to set up the mountain defense formation. Because of its powerful functions, it often costs a lot of money and takes a long time. Since it is related to the fundamentals, it is also a habit to strengthen and improve every year. Therefore, to see the foundation of a sect, apart from the Cave Heaven Paradise, the easiest way is to look at its mountain guarding formation.
Therefore, Tang Jie would not care about the fact that the Shimen sect had a mountain guard formation and was unable to fly.
At the foot of the mountain, there were disciples from the Shimen Sect who were being escorted. When they saw someone from the Xiyue Sect, they hurriedly opened the formation and led the two of them in.
Walking along the mountain road, Tang Jie saw strange flowers and plants blooming everywhere around the mountain road, there were mysteries everywhere in the mountain, and cranes could be faintly seen flying on the peaks. The entire Shimen Peak is tall and majestic, with green mountains and emerald mountains, and a myriad of atmospheres, giving it a fairy-like appearance. Even Tang Jie couldn't help but praise: "It's a good place to be."
After hearing this, the leading disciple laughed and said, "It's a small place on the border, and it's hard to get Dharma's eyes, but it made the envoy laugh."
Tang Jie said: "Although it is a small place, it has a big atmosphere. I see that the door of this mountain is half-open, it seems to be open but actually closed. There is a symbol of the Jade Court Heavenly Slash inside. It seems that it should be the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation. It also fits the name of this stone gate."
The disciples were greeted hurriedly: "Your Majesty's Wisdom Eyes is the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation."
This Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation is a seventh-grade formation. It is best at defending enemies outside the formation gate. It is a very powerful formation in itself. In addition, the Shimen Sect has continuously invested in materials to strengthen the formation for hundreds of years. , making its power even more terrifying.
The stone steps Tang Jie and the others were walking on at this moment were the front end of the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation, which was called the Jade Court. It was also the most powerful point of this formation. A stream of light could be faintly seen above the stone steps. Tang Jie's heavenly eyes were slightly opened, and he could see that there seemed to be sharp swords hidden in the clouds. This was the Tianxuan Dao. These days, the rotating knives look like guillotines hanging in the air. The sharp blade faces downwards. There is no handle, only two slender chains leading to the clouds. Once an enemy breaks into this formation by force, the Sky Spin Sword will fall straight down. These Tianxin knives are no more powerful than ordinary attacks, but have the power to kill even Tianxin. If they swarm in, even Zifu will be chopped into minced meat.
This is the Jade Court Sky Slash, a powerful attack that is said to be able to kill even true immortals.
For Tang Jie, this was just an opportunity to learn. It was rare to enter an undefended formation. At this moment, while walking, his thoughts had spread out in all directions.
Especially the cluster of knives in the clouds gave Tang Jie a great inspiration. Thoughts were floating in the clouds. Looking at the Tianxuan knife in the clouds, what appeared in front of Tang Jie was not the shape of the knife, but various complex patterns formed by countless spiritual energy, each of which contained the most profound meaning in the world. Profound truth.
Tang Jie looked at these patterns almost obsessively, and his brain couldn't help but work rapidly, deconstructing the mystery of all this.
This is the wonderful use of wisdom, which can deconstruct the laws of the world and the composition of the secret method. However, over the years, he has never really discovered the deconstructive use of wisdom, which shows that this is not an easy task.
Unexpectedly, he was unintentional today. He just wanted to observe the secrets of the great formation, but at this moment, he triggered his own wisdom and began to deconstruct the sky sword cluster, which surprised himself.
But at this time, he had no time to express his emotions, surprise and shock.
In front of him, a grand world was unfolding, slowly lifting the mysterious veil.
Tang Jie absorbed the mysteries inside eagerly, and the entire Yumen Heavenly Lock Formation was absorbed and mastered by him bit by bit. All the mysteries were revealed to him one by one, leaving almost nothing behind.
The secret of the protective formation accumulated by the Shimen Sect for thousands of years was easily cracked, absorbed and digested by Tang Jie.
Even that's not enough!
For Tang Jie, just mastering a Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation was no big deal. After all, he had already dabbled in and studied the formation through the true solution of the formation path before, so he could learn so quickly.
What really interested him was the mechanism of Yuting Tianzhan.
Those powerful guillotines hanging in the air, those slender chains stretching into the sky, what would happen if I could release such a spell?
This is not an unrealistic fantasy. As we all know, the so-called formations actually use the heaven and earth as carriers to release spells. Since there are no human body restrictions, the use of formations is more rigid, more costly, and more powerful.
But precisely for this reason, if the magic circle can be used, often practitioners can also use it, as long as you can find the right method, and vice versa.
For example, the Mahamoro Heavenly King Mantra is actually derived from the Mora Heavenly King Formation. The Moro Heavenly King Formation is also a famous seventh-grade formation. Intruders in the formation will be attacked by the main formation. The attack form is the same as the Great Mora Heavenly King Curse, but the power is more powerful and fierce. Later generations were moved by the idea, and after grasping the operating mechanism of the formation, they created the Great Maharaja Curse.
On the other hand, it is also possible to have spells first and then formations.
At this moment, Tang Jie suddenly had a whim, and he did whatever he wanted to do. His consciousness was already heading towards the Yuncong Heavenly Saber with all his strength, focusing most of his attention on it, leaving only a little thought to control the path, but I couldn't even say another sentence. The lead disciple also wanted to take the opportunity to please Tang Jie, but he couldn't get the slightest response.
There are eighty-one Tianxuan knives in the clouds, which is exactly the number of ninety-nine.
But for Tang Jie, he only needed to deconstruct it once, and the rest was just repetition.
The structure of the Tianxuan Knife was deconstructed with all his strength. The huge number of thin spiritual threads and the complicated pattern structure were like countless creatures whispering in his ears, making Tang Jie dizzy. . But he still persevered, analyzing, remembering, digesting, and understanding the meaning of these existences.
It is not only important to understand, but also how to evolve it into a technique and reproduce it in your own way.
This is by no means a simple process. Even if a strong Tianxin wants to evolve an attack array into a spell, it often takes years or even decades, and it also requires sufficient understanding.
But under the influence of intelligent deduction, Tang Jie greatly shortened this process. If he could see what he saw at this time, he would see a stream of pictures passing quickly in front of his eyes. Things that no one else could see clearly were beyond the memory of ordinary people at this moment. Come down and do extraordinary calculations.
"Humph." Tang Jie groaned. The load caused by the powerful calculations made his nose bleed, so he simply stood there motionless.
"Your Majesty!" The disciples who received him also saw something was wrong and exclaimed.
Zhang Taixu stopped to guide the disciples. After all, he was rich in experience and knew that Tang Jie had probably entered some kind of enlightenment state at this moment. He could not help but admire in a low voice: "As expected, he is worthy of being issued a recommendation order by the Master. People are enlightened by him as easily as they can, and they are enlightened as soon as they say they are enlightened."
The disciple who received the invitation was stunned when he heard it, and looked at Tang Jie as if he had seen a ghost. If he knew that what Tang Jie was enlightening at this moment was the most powerful Jade Court Heavenly Sword and Yuncong Heavenly Sword of his Shimen sect, he didn't know what to do. What do you think?
The Tang Dynasty Tribulation has reached its most tense stage as his thoughts soared far away.
A single Heavenly Spin Sword consists of a total of 1,312 figures. After removing the similarities, there are still 456 figures left. Tang Jie not only had to remember graphics, but also combinations, functions, and changes, and finally found an alternative method in his own operation.
Although Tang Jie can write them all down and study them slowly after returning. But some things can be remembered, and some things can never be remembered. Thoughts were rising and falling in the clouds, and Tang Jie could feel a strange will.
It was this will that allowed him to enter the current state and be able to deconstruct the entire Yuting Tianzhan. It was also this thought that allowed him to break through quickly and find what he wanted. Out of this environment, it might take Tang Jie many years to make amends to achieve his current results.
So Tang Jie never relaxed, and his consciousness struggled to support himself in the sea of clouds.
Finally, something suddenly opened up in his mind. Many things that he had been unable to figure out finally came to light at this moment. A surge of energy rose from the bottom of his heart and permeated his whole body. Tang Jie could hardly restrain himself from wanting to take action. The urge to try.
But he knew that the time had not come yet, and he still had one last thing to finish.
His thoughts continued to extend, taking the entire Jade Court into his eyes again. Tang Jie had a panoramic view of the combination of ninety-nine and eighty-one Tianxuan knives.
Compared with the composition of a single Heavenly Spin Sword, the combination of Nine and Nine is much simpler. Almost at a glance, Tang Jie completely grasped the mechanism of the Jade Court Heavenly Slash.
At the same time as he realized this, an ancient and thick aura suddenly emerged from the clouds.
Tang Jie knew that this was the result of the Shimen Sect’s history accumulated over thousands of years. His thoughts drifted in this breath, as if he felt the will of the sages of this sect.
Under the influence of that will, the sky-spinning knives suspended in the air swayed and collided with each other, making a crisp and sweet sound like wind chimes.
"This is..." The leading disciple and Zhang Taixu looked up in shock.
"Tianyin welcomes guests... It is worthy of being an envoy. Walking around the Jade Court, you can also study the Dharma and enlightenment. What a joy and congratulation!"
As a voice came, they saw a group of people coming down from the top of Shimen Peak. The leader had a purple face and a long beard, and he looked a bit like an immortal.
Zhang Taixu came close to Tang Jie and whispered in Tang Jie's ear: "This is Master Qiu Shuyu."
Tang Jie hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Tang Jie, who is under the Xiyue Sect, has met Master Qiu."
Although he was the special envoy of the Xiyue Sect, the other party was actually Tianxin Zhenren, a leader of the sect. His status was higher than his, and Tang Jie did not dare to be rude.
Originally, with Qiu Shuyu's status, there was no need to welcome Tang Jie, but Tang Jie knew that he was coming when he was at the bottom of the mountain. It was a bit strange that he hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time. After using magic to explore, it was discovered that Tang Jie actually had the appearance of Shimen practicing Dharma and enlightening the Tao. Then he was startled and came out to greet him. However, before he saw Tang Jie, he heard the welcoming heavenly sound, which meant that he was sleeping in the formation. The ancient will in the Tang Dynasty has recognized Tang Jie, how dare Qiu Shuyu neglect it.
At this moment, when he heard that Tang Jie signed up for his number, Qiu Shuyu even said: "It turns out to be Tang Jie, the fierce tiger that even Ming Kui has taken a fancy to. That's no wonder it's so great."
Because they both belong to the heart of heaven, for people like Qiu Shuyu, calling him Tiankui instead of a real person shows more respect without losing his identity, so there are many people who call him "Tiankui".
Tang Jie has already said: "You are rude, and I felt happy when I saw the ceremony. I have lost my etiquette in the Jade Court, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qiu Shuyu laughed and said: "Sure enough, the cultivation world has talents every generation, and there is never a shortage of geniuses. A few years ago, Xiyue sent Beicanghan. I thought that the students in the past ten years He was about to take the lead, but I didn’t expect that Tang Jie would follow. It’s too late for me to curry favor with such a talented junior.”
As he said that, he came over and took Tang Jie's hand, looking quite happy. On the contrary, several people around him looked hesitant and didn't look so happy.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a hooked nose, said directly: "I wonder what kind of method Mr. Tang just participated in?"
The tone of these words was already questioning.
When Tang Jie was stunned, Qiu Shuyu said: "This is my third junior brother, Shi Jingzhai."
Then he pointed to another man who was a little fat and fair, wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief from time to time, and a beautiful woman in pink clothes, and said: "These two are my second junior brother Liang Xingbang and fourth junior sister Yu Wanniang."
Tang Jie returned the greeting and said, "It turns out to be Master Huifeng, Master Houtu, and Empress Linglong. Tang Jie is polite."
Before coming, he had asked Zhang Taixu about the situation of the Shimen Sect and knew that there were four people in power in this sect. Qiu Shuyu was the eldest brother, known as the Master of Landscape, and the remaining three were the three in front of him.
As for the Shi Jingzhai who asked him this question, he was different from others because he was the son of the previous generation leader of the Shimen Sect. Before this, the Shimen Sect was passed down from generation to generation in the Shi family, but in this generation, the old headmaster handed over the Shimen Sect to Qiu Shuyu. Despite this, Shi Jingzhai still has a very high status in the Shimen Sect.
Faced with Shi Jingzhai’s question at this moment, Tang Jie thought for a while and replied: “I have always had a special liking for the Tao of Fighting, and I have to enter the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock. Occasionally, I feel that my understanding of the Tao of Fighting has improved even more. ”
"You're lying!" Shi Jingzhai started to drink: "Just enlightenment will never attract the welcome of Tianyin. You must have learned some secrets from my Yumen Heavenly Lock Formation!"
"Jingzhai, shut up!" Qiu Shuyu shouted: "Don't be rude to the envoy!"
Next to him, Liang Xingbang also snorted: "Even an envoy can't steal secret techniques from our sect at will, right? Besides, Mr. Tang was only ordered to check the mines for a while, and he is far from being a formal envoy."
Tang Jie frowned: "I admit that I did learn something from the Jade Gate Heavenly Lock Formation. But this was just a matter of inference, but I did not break through the secrets. Since the door of the Shimen Sect is open, Of course, everything should be told to others, so why do you even charge for and keep things confidential?"
These words made Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang stunned and speechless for a moment.
Tang Jie was right. He did not sneak into the Shimen Sect's Scripture Collection Pavilion, but just understood it on his own in this portal. The world of immortality has existed for tens of millions of years, and rules have been formed over the years. A situation like Tang Jie's cannot be considered theft at all. For example, this Yuncong Heavenly Sword, although he understood it through the Yumen Heavenly Lock Formation, is something that even the Shimen Sect doesn't have. How can it be called theft?
Of course, it is true that Tang Jie benefited from this, so if you are polite, it is necessary to give some benefits as a thank you. He also intended to do this, but Shi Jingzhai did this, and he was a little unhappy.
When I was about to say something at this moment, I suddenly felt something in my heart. I looked at the Linglong Empress Yu Wanniang who had been silent next to me, and saw something flashing in her hand.
When Yu Wanniang saw him looking at her, she smiled at him, which was quite tempting.
Tang Jie ignored it and just said: "Of course, no matter what, I have also benefited from the Shimen Sect. If Tang Jie is willing to thank you for this, I will give you five thousand dollars as a thank you~IndoMTL.com~How about ?"
Shi Jingzhai sneered: "Five thousand dollars? What does Mr. Tang think of my Shimen sect? Are you sending me away as a beggar?"
Tang Jie calmly replied: "For a sect, five thousand dollars is not much, but for me personally, five thousand dollars is the limit I can spend. In fact, I want this money. I owe you a debt first, and I will pay you some time later."
"Haha!" Shi Jingzhai laughed loudly: "You still owe five thousand yuan, Tang Jie, I think I'd better give you five thousand yuan, you can take it and leave."
"Shut up Jingzhai!" Qiu Shuyu had already started drinking and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Tang Jie: "Master Tang, don't be offended. My junior brother has this temper, has a bad mouth, and can't speak. It's for this reason, It was only then that the master refused to pass the position of headmaster to him."
When Shi Jingzhai said this, his eyes flashed with anger again.
Tang Jie smiled: "It doesn't matter. I took the benefits of the Shimen Sect and couldn't give me the proper thanks. It's normal for Master Shi to be dissatisfied."
Shi Jingzhai snorted, probably seeing that Tang Jie always spoke modestly, and finally stopped talking.
