The current of Nu River was rapid, and the big boat was as fast as a galloping horse.
For safety and comfort, Gao Zhengyang chose this three-masted big boat.
The hull of the big boat was made of a special kind of ironwood, which was as hard as steel. The sails were embroidered with large pieces of runes. The whole boat looked stable and reliable.
The world was full of Spiritual Qi, and even small rivers could have water demons. In the big rivers, there were endless water demons.
Therefore, those who dared to run on the river were also risking their lives to make a fortune. Only with a huge and strong boat could they go on this road for a long time.
This big boat was called Iron Dragon. The name was a little big, but it was really majestic. Of course, the price of carrying people was also very high.
Gao Zhengyang asked for a single room, which cost 20 taels of silver. Of course, because his room was on the top floor, not only did it have a window, but it also had a view of the surrounding river.
The boatman was also responsible for providing food and drinking water. Of course, this kind of free things were very ordinary.
Gao Zhengyang just took a glance and lost interest. He was not afraid of suffering, but there was no need to deliberately suffer.
At noon that day, Gao Zhengyang ordered four dishes and a pot of wine according to his preferences. He and Bai Ling sat by the window, enjoying the food and the river scenery.
As far as Gao Zhengyang was concerned, these dishes could barely be called fresh. The fish in the river smelled very fishy, and without enough seasoning and cooking skills, it could not be cooked well. As for the river scenery, it could only be said to be ordinary.
In fact, looking along both sides of the river, there were either high mountains, jungles, or undulating hills. There was no sign of human habitation.
The people in this world could only live around the huge cities. Demons and ghosts ran rampant, and it was difficult for the scattered people to survive.
Therefore, both sides of the river were a piece of primitive scenery. This kind of natural scenery looked magnificent at first, but it was boring after a while. Because the mountains were always similar, and the trees were all a family.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be the same.
He could only drink in the wind, but this mood was enough.
Gao Zhengyang liked this kind of pretentious atmosphere. However, the food soon became cold when he opened the window and faced the wind.
Bai Ling pouted in dissatisfaction and protested, "Master, are you eating or eating the wind? Anyway, I'm full of wind."
"Eating wind and drinking dew is the business of immortals. What do you have to complain about? "
Gao Zhengyang lectured.
"Next time, let me eat my fill first. Master, how about eating here?" Bai Ling didn't want to eat like this every time.
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "You only know how to eat. Look at how much weight you've gained since you left home."
He said bluntly, "If this goes on, you won't be a fox anymore, but a little white pig."
Women, regardless of their age, were particularly concerned about their bodies and appearances. Under normal circumstances, the degree of attention and appearance were directly proportional. When a woman was called a vixen, she would only feel proud.
If he was called a cute little pig, he would definitely feel extremely depressed.
When Bai Ling heard what Gao Zhengyang said, she hurriedly threw down her chopsticks and looked at herself in a mirror. She frowned and muttered, "I think I've gained weight. This is bad …"
In fact, Bai Ling had only grown a little. She cultivated every day and digested 99% of what she ate. Based on this alone, it was impossible for her to gain weight.
Gao Zhengyang teasing Bai Ling was also his daily pastime. Otherwise, this world would be so boring. There was no chat software to chat across space, no games, and no white legs to admire.
He could only tease this little fox to kill time.
Gao Zhengyang rested for a while after the meal. Then, he took out the Five Thunder God Incantation left by Northern Yuan and read it.
With the Blood God Flag in hand, Northern Yuan's spirit and blood essence naturally couldn't escape. After a simple glance at the memory left by Northern Yuan, Gao Zhengyang had a basic understanding of what he had learned.
In fact, Northern Yuan was still very powerful. He could be called an expert among the rank six. Whether it was subduing demons or fighting with humans, he was an expert.
It was a pity that he was unlucky to meet Northern Yuan. He died without knowing why.
Northern Yuan had learned a lot of things. For example, he knew a little about the Five Ghosts Transportation, spells, and divination. The Roaring Flames Flying Fire Flag in his hand was a very powerful celestial device.
Ordinary little ghosts would turn into ashes when pointed at by the Roaring Flames Flying Fire Flag.
However, Northern Yuan was very ordinary in Thunder Method. The Five Thunder God Incantation could barely be regarded as proficient. It was enough to deal with ordinary evil ghosts, but it was not enough to deal with a real expert.
The Five Thunder God Incantation was actually a very high-level Thunder Method. Because of its high level, Northern Yuan didn't practice it well.
Northern Yuan was born in a small sect. He could reach this step by relying on his own efforts. This Five Thunder God Incantation was snatched by him.
Coming from a small sect, he had no experience, no accumulation, and no foundation. There was no guidance for the secret method he snatched, so he could only practice it by himself. Fortunately, Northern Yuan had a good foundation and a good brain. That was how he managed to practice the Thunder Method.
After reading Northern Yuan's memory, Gao Zhengyang actually saved a lot of time by reading the Five Thunder God Incantation. Of course, Northern Yuan's understanding of Thunder Method was too rough. There were many mistakes in it.
Although Gao Zhengyang hadn't learned spells systematically in this world, he could see the problems in the part he knew from what he had learned.
The Five Thunder God Incantation was actually divided into five types of Thunder Method. Each type of Thunder Method was presided by a Thunder God. These Thunder Gods were five brothers, each with a name and appearance.
There were even detailed pictures of the five brothers in the book to facilitate visualization. There were also many details of practice in the book.
For example, to practice the first Thunder Method, one should think of the First Thunder God at midnight. Then what incense to light, what incantation to recite, and what posture to practice in. All kinds of procedures were recorded in great detail.
After reading it, Gao Zhengyang knew that most of these procedures were useless.
At least, they were useless to him.
These procedures were mainly to cultivate and guide people's minds. After all, thinking of such a thing was extremely mysterious.
When two people sat face to face, you wouldn't know what they were thinking. It was difficult for people to completely control their thoughts.
Through these complicated procedures, one could gradually be guided to enter the state and then sense the Thunder Method.
For Gao Zhengyang, these rituals were naturally useless. As long as he was willing, he could visualize anything. There were no barriers at all. Although the power had disappeared, he still had control over his mind and divine sense.
According to what he had learned in this world, Gao Zhengyang concluded that the so-called Five Thunder Gods were the five internal organs of the human body.
Looking at the Five Thunder God Incantation, the breathing and expiration method actually corresponded to the five internal organs. Although the Five Thunder Methods were not divided, they clearly corresponded to the five elements.
Of course, this correspondence was very vague. But in essence, it was still through training the five internal organs to stimulate the resonance of the elemental energy and thus control the Thunder Method.
It sounded simple, but people who practiced magic were used to these procedures. How many people could see the essence of power through these complicated procedures?
Gao Zhengyang had the insight and knowledge of a Divine Emperor. Moreover, he had traveled the universe and had a deep understanding of the laws of the era.
Although the laws of the Immemorial Realm were extremely powerful, they were fundamentally unable to break away from the laws of the era. Yin and Yang and the five elements were the great laws of the era.
Unless a new era was born, these fundamental laws could not be shaken by any force.
The difference was that the laws of the Immemorial Realm would reflect many subtle changes and were very different from the outside world. The great Dao was the same, but when it came to specific cultivation, one had to be careful and not be presumptuous.
Gao Zhengyang had only been in the Immemorial Realm for less than half a year, but his cultivation started from the most basic. He cultivated step by step like this.
Only after re-understanding the subtle changes in the laws of the Immemorial Realm did Gao Zhengyang dare to make adjustments to the Five Thunder God Incantation.
In Gao Zhengyang's opinion, the true value of the Five Thunder God Incantation was to cultivate the five internal organs, not to activate the Thunder Method to attack.
The Thunder Method was extremely domineering. Every time the Thunder Method was activated, it was actually harming the five internal organs. It was just that it was difficult for cultivators to detect such subtle changes.
Only when the five internal organs were cultivated as one and the internal organs became abnormally strong, would the Thunder Method not cause harm to the body.
Gao Zhengyang reorganized and analyzed the Five Thunder God Incantation and was quite impressed with this method.
This was the most advanced secret method he had learned since coming to the Immemorial Realm. Moreover, it was especially suitable for his current state.
Gao Zhengyang was still cultivating the basic Essence Devouring Technique. This breathing technique was so simple that even a child would probably know it. However, it was precisely because it was simple that it was the foundation of this world.
As for the Heaven Song Sword Manual and the Five Poison Sword Qi, although these techniques were profound, they were insignificant. They were used as a means of application, but not the foundation.
The Five Thunder God Incantation, on the other hand, was a higher-level breathing technique that pointed directly to the great Dao. It was just that it was more profound and profound. It was the best substitute for the Essence Devouring Technique.
Gao Zhengyang went through it from beginning to end. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he officially began to cultivate.
The Five Thunder corresponded to the five internal organs. The heart was fire, the lungs were metal, and the liver was wood …
Through breathing visualization, Gao Zhengyang mobilized the five internal organs to absorb the essence energy and established a complete essence energy cycle.
The Essence Devouring Technique absorbed the essence energy into the body, but there was no specific way to circulate it. It was simply divided into three dantians: upper, middle, and lower. By accumulating the essence energy, one could achieve the effect of energy flowing through the whole body.
Gao Zhengyang relied on the Essence Devouring Technique to forcefully cultivate to the fifth level because he was too knowledgeable. This time, he was able to use such a crude method to connect the sea of consciousness and the energy flowing through the hair.
The fifth level was actually about the fine circulation of the essence energy. At this step, there would be a huge difference in the cultivation of each clan. All the fifth level martial artists and sorcerers would start to become powerful.
This was because no one knew what kind of technique their opponent cultivated. Some cultivated the Frost Palm, while others cultivated the Scarlet Flame Palm. Although the essence energy could not be released, the power would be different through the different changes of the essence energy.
Just like Gao Zhengyang's Five Poison Sword Qi, it was actually a typical transformation of the fifth level essence energy. It was just that Gao Zhengyang's understanding of martial arts was too profound, which was why he could use the Five Poison Sword Qi at the fourth level.
Gao Zhengyang practiced the Crouching Dragon Posture on his bed for the entire afternoon.
At night, the five energies in his five internal organs were mixed and circulated, forming a stable circulation.
At this point, the essence energy was internally connected to the five viscera and six bowels, the blood vessels and the bones, and externally to the bones, flesh and hair.
The force flowed through the entire body without any stagnation. This was the standard sixth level: internal and external force.
Whether it was a sorcerer or a martial artist, there was no difference at this step.
However, when a martial artist reached this step, it was a fusion of internal and external force, constantly strengthening the physical body to withstand a stronger resonance of origin energy. When the elemental energy resonated and opened all the acupoints in the body, one would be able to break free from the shackles of the earth and fly into the sky. That would be the seventh level.
A sorcerer would be refined by the essence energy into essence, and then the essence into spirit, constantly strengthening the spirit and divine sense. In this way, when one achieved the Yang Spirit, one would be able to go out spiritually without avoiding the sun, and that would be the seventh level.
For ordinary cultivators, there was a huge difference between spells and martial arts. At the sixth level, one could still cultivate both spells and martial arts, but at higher levels, it would be difficult to integrate.
However, Gao Zhengyang did not care about this problem. In his opinion, the thirteenth level and below were all low levels. Whether it was spells or martial arts, it was just a different way of using power. There was no need to force a distinction.
As long as he could find the mystery of the thirteenth level laws in this realm, he could unlock his Dragon Emperor Immortal Body. Of course, this process was a little easier than re-cultivating his body.
In the past, he focused too much on combat power, and his understanding of spells and divine abilities was relatively simple.
This time in the Mixed Elements Realm, he had a chance to re-cultivate. Of course, Gao Zhengyang wanted to practice spells and divine abilities.
Moreover, the spells and divine abilities of the Mixed Elements Realm had their own mysteries, and were very different from those of the other realms.
Although Gao Zhengyang had just reached the sixth level, he had a plan for his future.
At this moment, the essence energy in his body gathered into a ball, and the force flowed inside and out. This kind of comfort and carefree feeling made him have the urge to roar out loud.
However, this impulse was immediately suppressed by him. A mere sixth level was nothing. To a God Emperor, it was a shame to only reach the sixth level after cultivating for half a year.
One had to know that this realm was rich in essence energy and boundless spirit energy. Often, some ignorant little animals would eat a random fruit and instantly become a ninth level great demon.
There were also extraordinary geniuses who had never cultivated before, but suddenly had the idea of cultivating, and had a sudden epiphany, becoming a saint or a god overnight.
In comparison, spending an entire afternoon to go from the fifth level to the sixth level was not worth mentioning at all.
Instead, Whitey noticed the change in Gao Zhengyang's aura and came over to sniff. She was a fox, and her nose was very sensitive. Moreover, she could not only smell, but also smell the changes in essence energy and so on.
What was even more exaggerated was that Whitey had boasted that she could smell treasures. As long as it was something good, she could smell it.
Gao Zhengyang opened his eyes and pushed away Whitey, who was sniffing around like a puppy. "What are you looking for like a dog?"
"I feel like you've changed?" Whitey was bewildered. She couldn't tell which part of Gao Zhengyang had changed, but she just felt that something was wrong.
In a moment of desperation, she didn't call him master anymore.
Gao Zhengyang got up from the bed and waved his sleeves. "No need to smell. My divine ability has improved greatly, and I'm now at the sixth level."
Whitey's eyes widened. She was surprised and envious. The sixth level was already an expert. Even someone as arrogant as Lord Yellow Mountain was only at the sixth level, and he could run amok in the White Pine Mountains.
Moreover, Whitey had long seen that Gao Zhengyang was actually much stronger than experts of the same level. He could easily kill a sixth level expert when he was at the fourth level.
Last night, the sixth level old Taoist was killed by Gao Zhengyang before he could even react. Now that he had become a sixth level expert, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
Whitey felt that even her mother wouldn't be able to defeat Gao Zhengyang.
Although Whitey was young, she still had a good eye. Gao Zhengyang's strength had only increased by one level, but his combat strength had increased by ten times.
Whether it was the thunder technique, the original Five Poison Sword Qi, or the Heaven Song Sword, the power of these techniques had been improved as Gao Zhengyang's cultivation increased.
Gao Zhengyang felt good about himself. Although the sixth level was nothing, it was still very useful to solve the small problem in front of him. Even if it was a seventh level expert, it was not impossible to solve it.
Gao Zhengyang was in a good mood and decided to take Whitey ashore for a stroll. But before he went out, a middle-aged man came outside.
This middle-aged man was wearing a long gown, an octagonal hat, and a string of beads in his hand. He looked very different from those sailors and boatmen.
Gao Zhengyang knew this person. His name was Qian Ming, and he was the chief steward of this iron dragon ship. When they boarded the ship, he had specially come to visit, but after asking about Gao Zhengyang's identity, he felt that there was no value in befriending him, so he quickly left.
Qian Ming knocked on the door and came in. He cupped his hands to Gao Zhengyang, "Mr. Gao, there is a checkpoint set up at the Fish Leap City Pass ahead. It is the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance who are looking for a wanted criminal. Unfortunately, his surname is also Gao …"
Qian Ming secretly observed Gao Zhengyang's expression. To his surprise, the other party was actually calm, as if he had nothing to do with this matter.
However, from the information he had received, this Gao Zhengyang who boarded the ship this morning was the person who escaped from the caravan. Including the little servant girl beside him, she also completely matched the description.
Qian Ming was sure that the other party was the person the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance was looking for.
The iron dragon ship did business everywhere, so it was natural that it had a close relationship with the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance. However, when it involved the guests on the ship, things were a little troublesome.
Handing over Gao Zhengyang directly would have a great impact on the reputation of the fleet. This was because the people who traveled by ship all had their own matters to attend to. Choosing the iron dragon ship was because of safety.
Moreover, who knew how much trouble it would cause if the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance rushed onto the ship. If the two sides fought on the ship, the losses would be even greater.
Out of consideration, Qian Ming decided to inform Gao Zhengyang in advance. If Gao Zhengyang took the initiative to disembark, it would be convenient for everyone.
Then, he would inform the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance to escape. If he sold both sides well, it would save him trouble.
Gao Zhengyang's calmness and indifference made Qian Ming a little uncertain. However, he still had to say, "The Ten Thousand Swords Alliance set up a checkpoint, and every ship has to be inspected. Moreover, Du Chuan is the leader. Du Chuan, this swordsman, is powerful, and he has a large number of experts under him. "
Qian Ming paused for a moment, then said, "I feel that in this kind of situation, if there really is a problem, we must avoid it in advance. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. Mr. Gao, what do you think? "
"That makes sense." Gao Zhengyang casually replied, appearing rather perfunctory.
Qian Ming also had no choice. He had already said it clearly, so what Gao Zhengyang did was his business.
Qian Ming left for a while, then came back to knock on the door, only to find that the door was unlocked. He opened the door and sure enough, Gao Zhengyang and the beautiful maid had run away.
He also heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out to find someone to inform Du Chuan that a suspicious person had been found here, but he had already run away.
After a while, Du Chuan arrived with his men. The single room wasn't very small. When Du Chuan walked in with the woman and Qian Ming, the room was almost full.
Qian Ming smiled apologetically and said, "Master Du, he ran away with the maid …"
Du Chuan's appearance was a little ugly, but he was tall. He stood with his sword and naturally had a sharp aura. Qian Ming was very respectful towards Du Chuan and didn't even dare to look him in the eye when he spoke.
Du Chuan ignored Qian Ming and said to the woman beside him, "Lian Xiang, look …"
Lian Xiang's gaze slowly swept across the room and said, "There's the coquettish aura of a vixen …"
As she said this, she raised her hand and scattered silver powder. In the empty corner of the room, two people appeared in the silver powder.
Gao Zhengyang, who was standing in front, said to Lian Xiang in displeasure, "It's too rude of you to scatter dust in someone else's room!"
