In the distance, layers of mountains were faintly discernible in the clouds. The fluttering clouds brought a strange scene to this huge mountain range, as if adding a lot of vitality.
He Yiming, Lu Zhengyi, and the others had returned to Hengshan for several days. Although Yu Jinglei had gone to the Life and Death World and did not travel with them, Xu Chengzhang had followed them to Hengshan.
That day, before Yu Jinglei left, he had introduced Xu Chengzhang's background. He was an outstanding young talent in the main branch of Heavenly Pool Mountain. At the age of forty, he had already passed the Dual Elemental Cultivation Method and reached the Xiantian Realm.
Although he wasn't like He Yiming, who relied entirely on his own strength to break through to the Xiantian realm. Instead, he had the support of the elders in the sect to protect his meridians. However, this was still an amazing achievement.
This time, he left the mountain to inform Yu Jinglei about the totem clan, but also to travel around the world. Therefore, after meeting Yu Jinglei, not only did he not return to Heavenly Pool Mountain, but he followed He Yiming and the others to Hengshan instead.
Regardless of whether it was He Yiming, the Medicine Man and the others, they all welcomed his arrival with open arms.
After the news of the totem clan's restlessness came from afar, the more Xiantian masters like Xu Chengzhang, the better.
In the few days after returning to Hengshan, nothing major happened in the mountains. Although everything seemed very calm, He Yiming could vaguely feel that this was like the omen before a huge storm.
Just as his imagination was running wild, the sound of footsteps woke him up from his thoughts.
He looked up and saw the Medicine Man, Lu Zhengyi, Lian Yi, Yu Xichen, and Xu Chengzhang, the five Xiantian masters, gathered together and walked towards him.
Since Yu Jinglei was not in Hengshan, He Yiming, who had been promoted to One-Line-Sky, was naturally the person with the highest status.
Therefore, if the Medicine Man and the others wanted to discuss something together, they would undoubtedly have to go to his room.
He Yiming's heart sank when he saw how worried they were as if they were about to face a great enemy. He thought to himself, 'They're here.'
Sure enough, when the Medicine Man and the others arrived in front of him, the Medicine Man immediately said, "Elder He, I'm afraid that the totem clan is already nearby."
After He Yiming ascended to the One-Line Sky, the Medicine Daoist and the others' attitude towards him changed drastically.
In addition to the proper respect, there was also a trace of deep and undisguised reverence.
This had nothing to do with one's seniority, but it was the attitude that people naturally expressed when facing experts.
"Medicine Elder, have you discovered their tracks?" He Yiming asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't find anything." The Medicine Daoist smiled bitterly. "But recently, we've lost contact with a few of our disciples in charge of harvesting and farming."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people are missing?"
"So far, six have gone missing." The Medicine Daoist's expression was solemn. "I've already ordered all the disciples not to leave the mountain without permission."
He Yiming calculated in his mind and immediately knew that the totem clan would definitely be here.
The Heng Mountain range was located deep in the mountains, so the chances of encountering danger here were much higher than outside the mountains. In the past, there had been cases of disciples going missing only to be found dead in the end.
However, such cases were extremely rare. Sometimes, it would only happen once every few years, and most of them were children or women. Now that six of them had gone missing all of a sudden, it was clear that an external force was involved.
"Can you find them?" He Yiming asked the most crucial question.
The Medicine Daoist smiled bitterly. "We've all lived in the mountains all year round, so we're all very familiar with the forest. But this time, the people of the Totem Clan are obviously more familiar with the situation in the forest than we are. We really can't find out where they are hiding. "
He Yiming frowned deeply. Facing such an enemy was truly a headache.
He Yiming sighed deeply. He suddenly realized that the Medicine Daoist seemed to want to say something but was hesitating. His heart skipped a beat. "Have you all thought of a solution?" he asked.
The Medicine Daoist hurriedly replied, "We've discussed some countermeasures, but we'd like to ask Elder He to make a decision."
He Yiming's eyes lit up. "Speak quickly."
His cultivation in the Martial Way was indeed much higher than the five Innate Experts present. However, in terms of knowledge and experience, he was far from being able to catch up. If even the Medicine Daoist and the others couldn't come up with a suitable solution, then He Yiming could only watch helplessly.
No one was an all-rounder. Even He Yiming, who'd experienced a fortuitous encounter at the bottom of the lake, was only slightly better at martial cultivation.
The Medicine Daoist said solemnly, "The solution we've discussed is to tighten our defenses and gather everyone from the nearby mountains to the five most important peaks. Each peak has an expert overseeing it. If they encounter any danger, all they have to do is gather their inner strength and call out, and they'll be able to notify the other peaks. This way, we can minimize our losses. Even if we can't capture the totem clan warriors, we'll at least be able to protect ourselves. "
He Yiming hesitated for a moment. "What about the six missing disciples?" he asked.
The Medicine Daoist's face darkened. "They … I hope they're safe."
He Yiming immediately understood that the Medicine Daoist was going to give up on the six disciples. He wanted to object, but he understood that this was undoubtedly the best way to deal with the current situation.
Since the six disciples had already gone missing, they were most likely dead.
He Yiming sighed softly and said, "Since you've already discussed it, let's carry it out." He paused for a moment, then said, "From today onwards, I'll be at the top of the main peak, where I'll be staying with grandfather, uncle, and the others."
The Medicine Daoist and the others all nodded. In the face of such an inexplicably powerful enemy, He Yiming's first thought was to protect his family. That was something to be expected. Furthermore, the main peak was the shortest distance from the other four peaks. Having the strongest expert in the sect stay there was, of course, the most appropriate thing to do.
After sending off the Medicine Daoist, He Yiming sighed inwardly. The status of the One-Line-Sky's experts was indeed different in the Hengshan lineage.
If he was still the Hundred Scatter Sky's expert of the past, the Medicine Daoist and the others would've just sent one person to inform him after their discussion. They wouldn't have sent five people to report to him together like today.
This was the Medicine Daoist and the others' way of expressing their respect for him. In other words, what they wanted to show respect for was not He Yiming, but his martial cultivation.
After tidying up a little, He Yiming immediately headed for the main peak.
In the huge courtyard halfway up the main peak, He Wude was watching He Quanxin practice martial arts.
Ever since Elder He had issued the new order, the entire Hengshan Mountains had been jittery and vigilant. Although the totem clan's name was rather unfamiliar, no one dared to let their guard down after learning of their origins. In particular, the previous example of their six companions' disappearance caused countless people to feel a trace of fear and trepidation.
However, although the atmosphere in Hengshan Mountains had changed, He Quanxin, who was halfway up the main peak, was still completely unaffected.
The Medicine Daoist and the others had given strict orders not to approach this place and disturb He Quanxin's cultivation.
If he knew that Hengshan Mountains were currently facing a great calamity, he definitely wouldn't have been able to continue cultivating in silence.
He Yiming arrived at the manor and exchanged glances with his grandfather. The old man nodded slightly, but his expression was rather grave. Obviously, the news of the totem clan's invasion had not been able to escape the old man's notice.
He Yiming nodded slightly and made a gesture that said, "I'm here, don't worry." He Yiming's expression finally turned for the better.
He Yiming seemed to possess a kind of strength. That was, those who had been with him for a long time would have extremely strong confidence in him. Even He Wude was no exception to this.
He Yiming casually chose a room in the huge courtyard and entered it.
He thought for a moment, then sat down silently.
The moment he sat down, his entire demeanor changed.
The scene of him reinforcing Mu Zhanhao's meridians and protecting him while he attempted to break through to the Xiantian Realm immediately surfaced in his mind.
Although Mu Zhanhao's strength was nothing in He Yiming's eyes, the three types of cultivation techniques in his body had benefited him greatly.
After exchanging blows with Mu Zhanhao and observing the way his three types of inner strength flowed, He Yiming combined them with his own experience and formed his own opinion on condensing a tangible flower.
Currently, He Yiming was most proficient in the Wind, Rain, Clouds, and Ice Techniques.
Although he also cultivated in other types of cultivation techniques, his attainments in these types of cultivation techniques were the most profound in comparison.
Whether it was the Wind, Rain, Clouds, or Ice Techniques, they were all closely related to the Water Element of the Five Elements. Since this was the case, if he wanted to condense the Flower of the Five Elements, he naturally had to choose the Water Flower.
Although He Yiming had closed his eyes, it did not affect his ability to perceive the outside world at all.
In his body, the Water Genuine Qi slowly gathered and gradually became thicker and stronger, until it finally boiled.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth from the outside world poured into his body like a tide. Slowly, even his body began to ripple with a kind of power that seemed to be visible but could not be touched.
This kind of fluctuation began from his body and spread out little by little, like a breeze caressing the flowers and plants. He Yiming's body faintly had a strange feeling of being one with the heavens and the earth.
He Wude, who was in the courtyard, frowned. He faintly felt that there seemed to be some strange changes nearby, but he raised his head and searched for a long time, but found nothing. He could not help but shake his head, secretly thinking that he was old and useless.
In Hengshan, the other five experts of the Hundred Disperse Heaven had also noticed this power fluctuation.
Unlike He Wude, they could feel the subtle changes expressed by the Power of Heaven and Earth. Although they still did not understand what this change meant, they knew who caused it.
For a moment, the five people's hearts were not calm. The four Xiantian experts of Hengshan all had smiles on their faces. They all knew that only the stronger this person was, the more prosperous the Hengshan lineage would be.
Xu Chengzhang, who came from Tianchi Mountain, looked in a certain direction and said nothing.
Such a young expert of One-Line Heaven, could it be that after just breaking through, he was going to have another enlightenment? It seemed that the rise of the Hengshan lineage was unstoppable. When he went back and saw Master in the future, he must mention this matter.
Almost at the same time, at the foot of Hengshan, an old man in strange clothes frowned. He looked in the direction of Hengshan with a gloomy face and did not speak.
At his feet, a giant wolf more than three meters long was crawling. The giant wolf's eyes were blue and bright, its mouth was slightly open, and its blood-red tongue was whistling. Between its teeth, there was a trace of flesh. In a corner not far from it, there was only a corpse left. The tattered clothes on the corpse were vaguely seen to be the unique attire of the Hengshan lineage.
Behind him, six black-clothed men with tattoos on their faces stood respectfully. They looked at the giant wolf with eyes full of awe and worship.
The old man snorted softly, as if talking to himself, "Your aura is indeed very strong, but as long as you can't discover the concealment technique of our Wolf Clan, it's useless no matter how strong you are. Hmph, pass down the order, go up the mountain tonight. "
Behind him, the six black-clothed men with tattoos on their faces responded in unison. Although there were only six of them, they had an incomparably fierce and powerful aura.
※ ※ ※
A large amount of essential qi entered He Yiming's body. With a thought, he gently opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of water vapor.
This water vapor contained the powerful essential qi that He Yiming had accumulated. At this moment, it seemed to have solidified, revealing a strange smell.
There seemed to be endless water power pouring into He Yiming's body between heaven and earth, and then through his mouth, constantly gushing into the illusory, nondescript flower in the void.
The two flowers that Yu Jinglei spat out in the past were not only stable in form, but also looked vivid and vivid.
But at this moment, the flower that He Yiming spat out was undoubtedly a withered willow branch, dim and without light. And these petals that were barely gathered were even more shaky, as if they would turn into the wind at any time.
He Yiming's head faintly beaded with sweat. Ever since he was promoted to the Xiantian realm, he had never been in such a sorry state.
Although the qi of heaven and earth was still madly pouring into his body, He Yiming felt that this speed was still not enough, far from enough.
Although the essential qi that he spat out of his mouth was powerful, the flower that was maintained in mid-air dissipated faster.
After a petal fell, he had just replaced it with another petal, and then another two petals fell. It was not easy to make up for the two petals, but another problem occurred on the other side.
He seemed to have become a patcher, wherever there was a crisis, that was where it would come from.
Slowly, more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a white smoke rose from the top of his head like a chimney. This was because he had gathered his essential qi to the extreme.
Nevertheless, no matter how he channeled his essential qi, the white flower in mid-air seemed to be unable to be maintained.
"Pow …"
She seemed to hear a faint voice in her ear. Then, the flower that was originally on the verge of collapse finally exploded completely and disappeared without a trace.
His failure this time was not only due to the lack of True Qi, but also due to the fact that his movements were extremely rusty during the condensation process. This was also one of the major reasons for his failure.
He Yiming sighed. Although he was a little regretful, it was reasonable that he did not succeed.
If the condensation of the three flowers was really that easy, he would be at a loss.
After all, he wouldn't be so lucky every time.
Nevertheless, He Yiming gained some experience through the condensation attempt. He believed that as long as he kept accumulating experience and experimenting, he would succeed sooner or later.
Moreover, what he wanted to condense was not a flower of a single element, but a flower of three elements, which would form the Three Flowers at One's Prominence.
His ears twitched for a while, and he finally confirmed that no one could sneak in nearby.
He Yiming removed the silver ring from his chest and channeled a huge amount of essential qi into it. After a brief moment, an interspatial world appeared in front of him.
He reached in and retrieved a stack of quaint books. On top of these books, there were three big words that shone brightly.
After so many years of collection, the color of the books still hadn't changed much. At this point, even an idiot would know that these books were priceless treasures.
He Yiming gently stroked the words with his finger and softly muttered, "A smokescreen."
He Yiming opened the book and began to read it carefully.
This was the secret manual that he found on Sima Yin's body after killing him.
He had personally experienced the power of the smokescreen. Even when Sima Yin lost an arm, he was still able to use it to perfection. If it was not for this smokescreen, how could he have chased He Yiming for so long?
In fact, he had already skimmed through this technique in the cave a few months ago, but it was his first time actually cultivating it.
He Yiming read the contents word by word. He frowned at times and pondered deeply. At other times, he had a sudden realization, and at other times, he was puzzled.
After a long while, he sighed in disappointment. This kind of secret technique was best used in a complicated environment like a mountain forest. Only then would it be able to unleash its greatest power.
He looked around. Although his room was not small, it was simple and clear. If he wanted to train here, it would be impossible.
After hesitating for a while, He Yiming finally dismissed the idea of going out to cultivate this strange technique.
Right now, the environment outside was dangerous. Uncle was working hard to cultivate, so he could not be disturbed.
He slowly closed his eyes again. As he recited the chant of the smokescreen in his heart, he carefully sensed the formation and changes of the power of heaven and earth. He seemed to have completely immersed himself in it …
PS: Tomorrow, He Yiming will release a big move. Although he is not very familiar with it, there should be very few people who can guess it ^ _ ^
White Crane had thought about it for a long time. He had thought about it when he first came to Hengshan. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
