Days passed one after another, and in the Wang Family Residence, a figure danced around swiftly.
"Dragon Ascending the Clouds!"
"Dragon Submerging the Waves!"
"Dragon Swallowing the Water!"
"Dragon Exhaling the Waves!"
…
Wang Chong's figure was agile and lively. He executed a simple Dragon Bone Art fist art, and as though a serpentine dragon, he darted through the fake mountains and forests.
This had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary fist art. Instead, it had reached the level of being able to utilize one's own will. Even the guards of the Wang Family couldn't help but stare at Wang Chong.
No one knew where the Third Young Master learned this fist art from, and no one cared about it either. To the Wang Family, after witnessing the Third Young Master's ability to amass more than 600,000 gold taels in such a short period of time, this was nothing at all.
By now, no one was surprised by it.
In the courtyard, Wang Chong's movement technique grew faster and faster. The air around him surged as though a tidal wave, and fallen leaves were swept up by Wang Chong. However, they didn't fall to the ground. Instead, as though small boats in the sea, they flowed along the air currents around Wang Chong.
This was the sign of mastering the Herculean Fist Art.
"It's about time!"
A thought flashed across Wang Chong's mind, and the blood in his body flowed faster and faster. He had a feeling that he would be able to reach Origin Energy Tier 6 today.
Peng peng peng!
Surges of air currents exploded around Wang Chong. After an unknown period of time. Boom! Wang Chong's body jolted, and a surge of Origin Energy burst forth from his body. As though a bottleneck had been broken, endless Origin Energy gushed in from the surroundings and gushed into Wang Chong's body.
Kacha kacha, the crisp sound of his joints echoed throughout his body. Under the boost of the Origin Energy from the surroundings, Wang Chong's strength burst forth, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through from Origin Energy Tier 5 to Origin Energy Tier 6.
"Hahaha, the Heaven's Gate is open! I've finally reached Origin Energy Tier 6! "
Wang Chong was overjoyed.
It was rare for Wang Chong to be so excited, but it was different this time. In martial arts, there was a saying called "Heavenly Gate". This "Heavenly Gate" was not the hundred acupuncture points on the top of the head, but the bottleneck between the human body and the outside world.
Upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 6, one would be able to break through this bottleneck and absorb Origin Energy from the outside world.
This was the greatest difference between Origin Energy Tier 5 and Origin Energy Tier 6. For example, the first five tiers of Origin Energy Tier 9 were all for the purpose of opening the Heaven's Gate.
Once a martial artist reached Origin Energy Tier 6, they would be able to cultivate secret arts that could greatly enhance their strength, agility, and speed.
For example, the 'Spectre Steps' of the Eastern Islands female assassin was a speed-type secret art after reaching Origin Energy Tier 6. It was impossible for one to learn such a powerful secret art before reaching Origin Energy Tier 5.
To Wang Chong, that wasn't all. Once he reached Origin Energy Tier 6, Wang Chong would be able to maneuver around even more freely.
Even though he was the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains in his previous life, he had lost all of his cultivation. Thus, Wang Chong could only start over from scratch.
'The Origin Gate is open' was a good start for Wang Chong.
If Wang Chong's limbs were bound in the past, Wang Chong now had a free hand.
Boom!
With a thought, Wang Chong punched out with his right fist, and in that instant, something inconceivable happened. Kacha kacha, the bones in Wang Chong's body creaked, and his right arm suddenly grew to twice its original length. He reached his hand into the crevice of a fake mountain, and peng, the rock weighing more than a hundred jin was lifted up.
In Wang Chong's hand, a rock weighing more than a hundred jin was as light as a feather.
— — This was the ability of Origin Energy Tier 6!
Upon reaching this level, a martial artist's fighting prowess would be greatly enhanced. For a rock weighing more than a hundred jin to be as light as a feather, this was something that ordinary people couldn't compare to.
"Hahaha, this is what they say. Gongzi's intelligence is truly incredible. We have only exchanged a few blows, but gongzi is already able to grasp the Arm Link Fist in one fell swoop! "
In the corridor by the side, Arloja and Ablonodan walked down the stairs with their sleeves fluttering in the wind. The two of them nodded their heads in delight.
'Arm Link Fist' was a secret art of Sindhu. Different from the martial arts of the Central Plains, Sindhu was known for its bizarre nature. Upon mastering this Arm Link Fist, one's arm would be able to move from one side to the other, allowing one to catch one's opponent off guard.
This was also a Sindhu martial art that the two of them had imparted to Wang Chong according to Wang Chong's current cultivation realm. They thought that it would take a long time, but to think that Wang Chong's improvement would be faster than they had expected.
"I have to thank the two masters for your guidance."
Wang Chong smiled and walked over.
In another world, there was a saying that Bodhidharma traveled east to impart martial arts. As such, Wang Chong had always been curious about the Sindhu martial arts of this world.
Due to the famine and poverty in Sindhu, the overall standard of martial arts couldn't compare to that of the Central Plains. However, that didn't mean that it didn't have its strengths. Of all the martial arts in Sindhu, the one that Wang Chong was most curious about was the 'Tortoise Breathing Art'.
It was said that this was the secret art of the Sindhu monks. After mastering this secret art, one could bury themselves deep in the ground for ten days and ten nights without eating, drinking, or breathing, and nothing would happen to them.
Some of the more formidable Sindhi sadhus could even remain motionless underground for three months or even several years, as if they were dead.
In his previous life, this was the Sindhu martial art that Wang Chong wanted to learn the most, but he didn't have the chance to do so. Now that he had met Arloja and Ablonodan, how could Wang Chong let go of this opportunity?
Arloja and Ablonodan spoke of everything they knew. The only problem was that Wang Chong wasn't able to learn it with his current cultivation.
Hong long long!
Just as they were speaking, the rumbling of a carriage sounded from the front door. From the carriage, his little sister's excited voice could be heard clearly.
"Brother, it's time to set off! It's grandfather's birthday. Mother wants us to go to the Four Quarters Embassy right now! — — "
"I got it. I'm coming! "
Hearing his little sister's loud voice reverberating through the entire Wang Family Residence, Wang Chong chuckled. A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Regardless of the storm outside, the entire Wang Family Residence was in a joyous mood today. Bright red lanterns were hung on the eaves of all of the houses.
Many places were even painted with red wood paint, creating a festive atmosphere.
Grandfather's seventieth birthday was a huge occasion for the entire Wang Clan. Other than Wang Chong's father, who was stationed by the borders, everyone else, including big uncle, big aunt, and little uncle, would be attending grandfather's birthday.
Naturally, Wang Chong was the same as well.
There were three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and this was the only day that Wang Chong could enter the Four Quarters Embassy to visit his grandfather.
Even though he felt helpless, the Wang Clan wasn't unique to a clan of generals and ministers. Where there was gain, there was bound to be loss.
"Masters, I'll be leaving first."
Wang Chong said in Sanskrit.
"Un, gongzi, we won't be accompanying you."
Arloja and Ablonodan replied respectfully. The Four Quarters Embassy was a forbidden ground of the Tang dynasty, and it was heavily guarded by the experts of the Imperial Army. Even descendants of the Wang Clan like Wang Chong weren't allowed to enter easily, needless to say, Sindhi Buddhist monks like Arloja and Ablonodan.
Wang Chong nodded. With his little sister around, the Wang Clan's guards, and even the experts of the Imperial Army, he didn't have to worry about any accidents happening in broad daylight.
Wang Chong began walking out.
Outside the gates of the Wang Family Residence, a bright red carriage stopped. His mother and little sister were on it. Wang Chong dived into the carriage, and it slowly drove off.
"You two siblings, listen up. Chong-er, you have to listen up as well. Today is grandfather's birthday, and other than us, many of your grandfather's old subordinates are coming over. When we reach there, speak less, eat more, and observe more. Don't cause any trouble for me. "
Whenever it was her father-in-law's birthday, Zhao Shu Hua would be extremely nervous.
In the family, even though she had the final say. But everyone knew that the backbone of the Wang Clan, the true person at the helm, was actually eunuch Wang.
Her father-in-law had led a glorious life, and he was doted on by the Holy Emperor. The reason why the Wang Clan was able to become a clan of generals and ministers was due to her father-in-law's contributions.
In the Wang Clan, her father-in-law wielded unparalleled authority!
Zhao Shu Hua had always been respectful and fearful of gongzi. In truth, she wasn't the only one. The other sisters-in-law were the same as well.
"Mother, don't worry. I know what to do. "
Wang Chong patted his mother's back and consoled her.
"That's right, what is there for grandfather to be afraid of? I'm not afraid at all! "
Wang Family's Little Yao pouted.
Hearing his little sister's words, Wang Chong and his mother smiled bitterly. In the Wang Clan, grandfather had always been extremely strict. Regardless of whether it was his big brother, second brother, or cousin, they had all been reprimanded by grandfather.
Even Wang Chong himself was the same in his previous life.
The only exception was probably his little sister.
For some reason, regardless of whether it was grandfather or grandmother, they were extremely fond of this little sister of theirs. At this age, grandfather had never scolded her before.
Every time they saw his little sister, the two elders would chuckle happily. This made Wang Chong, his big brothers, and cousin incomparably jealous.
But there was nothing they could do. His little sister was a magnet for affection.
Furthermore, other than gluttony, girls were playful. They wouldn't cause any trouble.
…
The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, heading toward the east. Several hours later, seated in the carriage, Wang Chong suddenly felt a majestic aura crushing down on him, as though a tidal wave.
In that instant, Wang Chong felt as though he was facing a torrent of the world.
"We've arrived at the Four Quarters Embassy!"
Wang Chong immediately realized what was going on. He had been to the Four Quarters Embassy before, so this aura was extremely familiar to Wang Chong. Shua! Parting the curtains, Wang Chong gazed into the distance. Not too far away, a massive residence stood before him. The residence was square-shaped, and it was seven to eight times the size of an ordinary general or minister clan. It looked extremely simple, but it exuded an incomparably solemn and dignified aura.
Anyone who walked by this place couldn't help but feel a sense of respect and reverence. They would lower their voices and slow their footsteps, as though fearing that they would alarm the person within.
There wasn't a single person in the vicinity of the residence, not even a single house. Above the main gate of the residence, Wang Chong saw a simple signboard. On the signboard were three large words painted in black on a white background:
[Four Quarters Embassy]!
The words were bold and forceful, as if they were bursting out of the paper, like a true dragon soaring into the sky, affecting the world!
This was the Four Quarters Embassy!
