The goose feather-like snowflakes fluttered between the heavens and the earth. The Crescent Moon Lake of the Godly Axe Mountain was similarly covered with a thick layer of snow.
It was already afternoon. In the forest ahead, Teng Shou was continuously practicing his fist technique. The coachman, Old Wang, was also practicing his sword technique nearby. Teng Qingshan, who was usually the most hardworking, was now standing quietly under the eaves, looking at the endless snow.
"In the blink of an eye, a year has passed."
Ever since he had captured Dong Zhezi and obtained that stone inscription, Teng Qingshan had been cultivating wholeheartedly. Teng Qingshan became even crazier after he reached the later stage of the Supreme Force and his body was perfected inside and outside. Teng Qingshan had subdued the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. Every time he comprehended something, he would go and spar with the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.
In the entire Godly Axe Mountain Range, many trees that had been growing for hundreds and thousands of years had suffered because of this.
Today could be said to be the only day that Teng Qingshan could rest after obtaining the stone inscription.
"Emperor Yu's 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 started with the Earth Elemental Dao and gradually mixed the Metal Elemental Dao! I obtained the ninth form from the Hall of Assassins. This ninth form uses the Metal Elemental Dao as the main technique and the Earth Elemental Dao as a supplement! After cultivating for several months, I have completely comprehended it. It's a pity that there's only one piece! "Teng Qingshan was somewhat dissatisfied.
This stone inscription had indeed allowed Teng Qingshan to improve at a much faster rate.
In just a few months, Teng Qingshan had created the first, second, and third forms of his 《Metal Element Fist》! However, Teng Qingshan's mastery of the 《Earth Elemental Fist》 was already extremely high. He had already reached the seventh stage. The ninth stone inscription of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 didn't contain a very profound Earth Elemental Dao.
It only slightly improved Teng Qingshan's 《Earth Element Fist》.
"It's a pity that I only have this one piece. If all thirty-six pieces were here, I would be able to kill all of them!" Stepping into the Emptiness Realm within one or two years is definitely not a dream. "Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
"Twenty! I'm already twenty. "
Nineteen years of age was spent in front of the Celestial Jade Annulus on the Bright Moon Island.
Twenty years of age was spent in front of the Godly Axe Mountain's stone inscription.
Teng Qingshan had never relaxed on himself.
"Father, Mother, I have been away from you for more than two years … …" Teng Qingshan still missed his kind parents the most. His father, Teng Yongfan, had been captured by the men of Qing Hu Island. He had narrowly escaped death, but both of his legs were broken. "I wonder how father is doing these two years!"
Twenty years old!
How are my parents in the distance?
The distance between Duanmu Continent and the Continent of the Nine Prefectures was too far. The distance between the two continents was tens of thousands of Li. Even an innate expert would find it extremely difficult to cross the sea. If they were not careful, they would fall into some dangerous regions of the sea.
"Although I had publicly declared that I had betrayed the sect, would Qing Hu Island, which had suffered such a great loss, be willing to do so?"
"I've been away from the Nine States for more than a year. I wonder how my sect is doing."
"Also, the Heavenly God Palace is full of ambition. Perhaps a storm has already started in the Land of the Nine Prefectures." Teng Qingshan was very worried. Previously, he had seen a Godly Eagle attack Xiao Yao Palace with thunderbolts. Xiao Yao Palace was one of the eight Supreme Sects, but it was still attacked by an Emptiness Realm Divine Beast!
This was a hint that the undercurrent in the Land of the Nine Prefectures was turbulent.
"Once it erupts, the Land of the Nine Prefectures will be in chaos. Will the Gui Yuan Sect be able to withstand it?" Teng Qingshan was burning with anxiety. Just by observing some movements in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, Teng Qingshan could infer many signs of danger!
The Gui Yuan Sect, which had a weak foundation, could indeed be destroyed in the face of the eight Supreme Sects and the Heavenly God Palace!
If the Gui Yuan Sect was destroyed, then Teng Qingshan's parents and the Teng Jia Village would also be in great danger!
"I hope the Land of the Nine Prefectures will continue to be peaceful … At least, it will last until I return." Teng Qingshan's heart was filled with hope. Because he was far away from the Land of the Nine Prefectures, there was no news of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Therefore, Teng Qingshan was very worried. The unknown was the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was —
When he returned, he would discover that the Gui Yuan Sect and the Teng Jia Village had all been destroyed!
"Time, time!"
Teng Qingshan furrowed his brows and thought to himself, "If I cultivate slowly, it will probably take a few years, maybe even ten years, to reach the Emptiness Realm. This speed is fast. Many experts can only reach the Emptiness Realm when they are over a hundred years old. Reaching the Emptiness Realm before the age of thirty is fast. However, this is not enough! "
He didn't have time to waste! He didn't have time to squander!
"I have to rely on the stone inscriptions. One stone inscription is enough to save me a lot of time." Comprehending the Heavens and the Earth and the Dao was, of course, very difficult. However, he could use the achievements of the predecessors as a reference and integrate them into his own.
This way, his foundation would be stable, but his speed would be much faster!
"Big Brother Teng?" A voice came from the side.
Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw Li Jun, who was wearing a white cotton-padded jacket, walking over with a smile. "Big Brother Teng, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm homesick." Teng Qingshan sighed softly.
"Homesick?" Li Jun froze slightly.
When Teng Qingshan saw Li Jun's expression, he immediately woke up from his thoughts. He knew that … … Li Jun had lost her home long ago. His words just now must have made Li Jun feel terrible. Teng Qingshan looked outside and suddenly locked his eyes on the statue-like figure in the distance. He changed the topic and said, "Little Jun, look. That kid is still here!"
"Big Brother Teng, that person has been kneeling on the ground for two days and two nights." Li Jun stared at the figure and said, "Big Brother Teng, aren't you going to say a few words to him?"
Back then, Teng Qingshan had barged into the Dong Residence and captured Dong Zhezi!
This had been witnessed by a large number of Dong Clan's henchmen and servants. No one knew where the news that the person who captured Dong Zhezi was Teng Qingshan had leaked, but it had quickly spread. In addition, many great clans had come to the Godly Axe Mountain to rope in Teng Qingshan. Therefore, Teng Qingshan's reputation had become even greater.
Many people had never seen Teng Qingshan before, but they already knew of Teng Qingshan's existence.
Some well-informed warriors knew that Teng Qingshan lived in the Godly Axe Mountain, so they came to be apprenticed to him! In this chaotic era, it would be very easy to be apprenticed to an extremely powerful expert and learn his skills. In the future, it would be very easy to obtain glory, splendor, and wealth!
"There are many people who want to be my apprentice. Do you think I will accept them if they kneel for a few days and nights?" Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "For warriors who possess inner strength, kneeling for two to three days is nothing."
"Old Wang!" Teng Qingshan shouted.
"Boss." Old Wang, who had been practicing his sword in the snow, hastily ran over. Over the past few months, Old Wang had received Teng Qingshan's guidance and slept in the underground cave. Thus, his strength had improved extremely quickly.
"Tell that kid that I don't accept disciples. It's useless even if he kneels to death." Teng Qingshan ordered.
"Yes, Boss."
Old Wang hastily ran over to the statue-like man who was completely covered by snow. The statue-like man raised his head and argued with Old Wang.
Seeing this, Teng Qingshan shook his head inwardly. Over the past few months, Teng Qingshan had seen too many methods of apprenticing. There were those who knelt for a long time, those who deliberately put on airs to attract Teng Qingshan, and those who used honey traps. Unfortunately ….. Teng Qingshan was stubborn and did not accept any disciple.
"If I lived in Duanmu Continent for several decades, I might accept more disciples.
"However, I will eventually return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures!
"To Duanmu Continent, I am just a passerby." Teng Qingshan turned around and entered the house.
Old Wang couldn't persuade him, so he could only shake his head and leave.
In the evening, the warrior who knelt until his entire body was ice-cold finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up with difficulty and cast a glance at the three stone houses. "The Silver Spear Martial Saint 'Teng Qingshan' is really as the legend says. It's really difficult to accept him as a disciple."
"Three requirements for accepting disciples? The first requirement is to reach the Innate Realm? Hmph, which Innate Martial Saint isn't high and mighty? Who would be willing to become a disciple? "
"From what I see, if you accept disciples like this, your lineage will end!"
The warrior felt hatred in his heart as he turned around and left.
At this moment, a young man wearing a black leather coat and carrying a huge war saber walked over from the front.
"Brother, are you also here to be an apprentice?" The Martial Artist glanced at the person who came and said, "I advise you to forget about it. This Silver Spear Martial Saint, Teng Qingshan, is an impenetrable person. No matter what method you use, he is extremely hard-hearted."
"Oh."
The young man cast a glance at him, smiled, and continued walking towards Teng Qingshan's residence.
"Hmph, forget it if you don't believe me. You will know after you suffer." The warrior sneered and watched as the young man walked to Teng Qingshan's residence. The warrior was waiting to watch a good show.
As expected —
Teng Qingshan walked out of the house.
"I guess he is going to be scolded." The warrior stared at him. Suddenly, his expression froze.
The young man carrying the war saber was warmly welcomed by Teng Qingshan.
"What?" The warrior widened his eyes.
… …
Inside the house.
"Brother Mu, please sit." Teng Qingshan smiled and sat down. At the same time, he poured tea for the newcomer.
The newcomer was the Great Elder of the Rising Sun Trading Company, Mu Wang!
The Great Elder smiled and sat down. "Brother Teng, it seems that many people want to be your apprentice."
"Sigh, I regret it now. If I knew there would be so many troubles, I wouldn't have barged in when I captured Dong Zhezi. "Teng Qingshan shook his head and said helplessly. The Great Elder laughed and said," Who can you blame? You barged in openly and caused such a big commotion. Once the news spreads, people will definitely ask who the mysterious expert is. "
"There are only so many Martial Saints in the world. Which one of them isn't famous?" The Great Elder smiled and said, "Many clans know of you. Of course, this news can't be hidden."
Teng Qingshan shook his head helplessly.
"Many people think of ways to become famous, to shake the world. You, on the other hand, only found out about you after you reached the peak of the Golden Dan Innate Realm. "The Great Elder sighed," You really hid yourself well. "
Teng Qingshan smiled inwardly.
Hid?
His fame was very great in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. It wasn't that he hid himself, but that he had just arrived at Duanmu Continent.
"Haha." Teng Qingshan took a sip of the steaming hot tea and asked curiously, "Old Brother Mu, as far as I know, you have already returned to the West Tang Region, right? Are you passing by here because it's on the way, or is there something else? "
"I really have something important to do." The Great Elder smiled and said.
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened, "Tell me about it."
The Great Elder chuckled and said, "Didn't you think of ways to obtain the stone inscriptions of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》? You went to capture Dong Zhezi just for one stone inscription. "
Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened. Of course, he desired the stone inscriptions very much. He hastily asked, "Why? Did the Hall of Assassins have another mission?"
"No." The Great Elder smiled and shook his head, "There are only so many stone inscriptions in the world. Everyone hides them for fear that outsiders will find out. There are also very few who are willing to take them out to issue missions! It's already good enough to receive one mission in a year. "
"Then why did you come?" Teng Qingshan was puzzled.
The Great Elder grinned, "I won't hide it from you. The Rising Sun Trading Company's influence is spread throughout the world. As for the stone inscriptions … the headquarters of the Trading Company has collected some. There are a total of six!"
