"Thank you for your guidance, Senior." Teng Qingshan said gratefully.
Although he had already guessed it before the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal told him about it, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal's words confirmed his guess.
"Haha, I'm just reminding you. You have to rely on yourself to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. " The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed heartily and said, "However, I believe that with your comprehension and aptitude, Qingshan, it won't be a problem for you to step into the Emptiness Realm within ten years! Mu Wang is not as strong as you, but I estimate that he will be able to step into the Emptiness Realm within ten years. "
"Great Elder Mu Wang stepped into the Emptiness Realm within ten years?" Teng Qingshan was shocked.
Mu Wang was indeed much weaker than him.
"Yes." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal smiled and nodded. "A few years ago, he was only one step away from the Emptiness Realm. Therefore, at that time, I thought that Mu Wang was the strongest under the Emptiness Realm. Later on, when I found out that you defeated him, I was even more puzzled. In Duanmu Continent, besides me and that person from the Tianfeng Clan, how could there be anyone else who could defeat Mu Wang? "
"That's why I challenged you the last time we met. Haha, Qingshan, I didn't expect that you, who have yet to reach the Emptiness Realm, could display a strength that is close to the Emptiness Realm. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, "the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said with a laugh.
Teng Qingshan smiled.
The combination of his body and the Supreme Force could reach one million and six hundred thousand jin! It was two times the explosive power of Mu Wang's Innate Gold Dan! If a true expert was a bit stronger, then the victor would be decided.
Compared to his opponent, his explosive strength was eight hundred thousand jin higher!
If he still couldn't win, then he wouldn't be qualified to fight against Qing Hu Island in the future.
"Senior, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Teng Qingshan cupped his hands and said.
"Yes. Cultivate well. When you reach the Emptiness Realm, I still have something to discuss with you," the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said.
"Alright. When I reach the Emptiness Realm, I will definitely look for Senior." Teng Qingshan said with a smile. However, he thought to himself, "Emptiness Realm? After attaining the Emptiness Realm, he would leave Duanmu Continent and return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
But he was also puzzled …
Did the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal have something to discuss with Teng Qingshan? What is it?
*****
"According to what the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said, he has something important to do after reaching the Emptiness Realm! But … it seems like it's not a bad thing to say this in advance. " Teng Qingshan pondered for a while and said, "Yes. Duanmu Continent currently has two Martial Immortals. One is the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal of the Rising Sun Trading Company, and the other is the Tianfeng Martial Immortal of the north."
"If I reach the Emptiness Realm, I reckon that the situation in Duanmu Continent will be affected."
"He probably wants me to talk to him because he wants me to help him."
Teng Qingshan thought for a while and had some guesses.
"Screech ~ ~ ~"
The Whole Gale Eagle let out a cry and spread its wings, carrying Teng Qingshan on its back as it flew towards the southeast direction.
…
After getting the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit and returning to the Crescent Moon Lake of the Godly Axe Mountain, Teng Qingshan resumed his usual routine. Every day, he would spend most of his time studying the six stone inscriptions, converting some of his comprehensions into his own fist technique.
Although the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal wanted Teng Qingshan to specialize in one Dao, Teng Qingshan didn't do so.
Now, he had created the eighth move of the 《Earth Elemental Fist》. According to Teng Qingshan's hazy feeling, he would be able to step into the Emptiness Realm after creating the ninth move! However … the stone inscriptions of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》, especially the three consecutive inscriptions, contained the Earth Elemental Dao, the Metal Elemental Dao, and the Fire Elemental Dao simultaneously.
If Teng Qingshan wanted to comprehend the 《Earth Elemental Dao》 from the four stone inscriptions, he must have sufficient achievements in the 《Metal Elemental Dao》 and the 《Fire Elemental Dao》!
Of course …
Teng Qingshan could also not rely on the four stone inscriptions. He could comprehend the heavens and the earth by himself and create the ninth move. However, there were pros and cons to this.
If he didn't study the four stone inscriptions, there would be no shortcuts, and his progress would be slow. Similarly, if he specialized in the Earth Elemental Dao, he wouldn't waste time on the Fire Elemental Dao and the Metal Elemental Dao, he would save time. If he combined the two … … it was impossible to determine whether this would be faster or slower.
If he studied the four stone inscriptions, he would have achievements in three Daos. They complemented each other, and it would take time. Moreover, it might not be slow.
"If I didn't have the four stone inscriptions, I would probably choose to specialize in one Dao and reach the Emptiness Realm first! However, I have four stone inscriptions … … I should also study the other two Daos seriously. " Teng Qingshan made up his mind. He had to admit that Emperor Yu was very powerful. He was able to divide one move into dozens of moves.
Teng Qingshan was a Grandmaster in his previous life. In this life, he created a fist art. His vision and comprehension were extremely high.
The teacher was powerful, and the learner was also powerful.
With the two combined, Teng Qingshan's progress reached a terrifying level.
*****
One month after Teng Qingshan returned from the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City.
Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, but the official road at the foot of the Godly Axe Mountain was crowded with people. As one of the four main roads around the world's largest city, Nanshan City, there were still many people coming and going even though it was snowing.
A chubby youth was holding a bamboo pole and walking on the snow beside the official road. He wore a thick cotton coat and a gray felt hat, and carried a short saber on his back. After walking for a while, he looked up at the Godly Axe Mountain and mumbled, "In the forest north of the Godly Axe Mountain, beside the crescent-shaped lake?"
Immediately, the chubby youth supported himself with the bamboo pole and left the official road, walking towards the nearby forest.
… …
It was rare for Teng Qingshan to go out of the mountain today. Li Jun happily prepared a sumptuous meal. On this day when snowflakes covered the sky and covered the earth, Teng Qingshan and the others ate the piping hot meal in the house.
"Big Brother Teng, how long will it take before we return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures?" Li Jun asked.
"One and a half years if it's fast, two or three years if it's slow." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
Little Ping, who was holding a bowl of rice, asked curiously, "Uncle, how far south is the Land of the Nine Prefectures?"
"It's quite far. It's even further than the island where the Liu Clan of the Dark Steel River was. However, if we hurry, we can arrive in ten to half a month. " Teng Qingshan said with a smile. Teng Qingshan added in his heart, "Ten to half a month? That's the time needed to ride on the Six Legged Bladelike Chi!"
Yes, Teng Qingshan planned to ride on the back of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi when they returned to the Land of the Nine Prefectures!
With the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's astonishing body length, it would be fine even if a dozen people sat on its back. With its speed that was much faster than the Whole Gale Eagle, it could easily travel ten thousand Li in a day. A hundred thousand Li … … would indeed only take ten to half a month.
It had taken them nearly a year to reach the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
However, it would only take ten to half a month to leave.
"Ten to half a month? That's quite far. The 'island' of the Land of the Nine Prefectures is about a few thousand Li away from Duanmu Continent. "Little Ping said emotionally.
"Island?" Teng Qingshan and Li Jun looked at each other and smiled.
If the Land of the Nine Prefectures was an 'island', then Duanmu Continent would be a small island.
Little Ping, Teng Shou, Teng Qingshan, and Li Jun didn't tell them about the real situation of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. They only told them that they came from a place called the Nine Prefectures. This Nine Prefectures was located in the south of Duanmu Continent. It would take about ten to half a month to travel by sea.
"Yes, someone is coming." Teng Qingshan's ears twitched. "Ah Shou, open the door."
Teng Shou immediately opened the door with a "Whoosh" sound.
Whew ~ ~ ~
The cold wind blew the snowflakes into the room. Teng Qingshan and the others looked through the door and saw a chubby youth at the edge of the forest. The chubby youth supported himself with a bamboo pole and walked on the snowy ground.
"A youth?" Teng Qingshan was slightly puzzled.
"It seems that he doesn't know inner strength." Li Jun was also puzzled. It was obvious that he didn't know inner strength since it was so difficult for him to walk on the snowy ground.
"Big Brother Teng, could it be that he wants to be an apprentice?" Li Jun smiled and said, "I don't think he has reached the innate realm." In Duanmu Continent, there were many people who wanted to be apprenticed to Teng Qingshan. Moreover, many people knew that the first requirement to be apprenticed to the Martial Saint, Teng Qingshan, was to reach the innate realm!
With such harsh requirements, Teng Qingshan only had Teng Shou as his apprentice after so many years.
"I have never seen a silly youth running here to be apprenticed to an apprentice." Teng Qingshan smiled. Those who knew that Teng Qingshan lived in the Crescent Moon Lake of the Godly Axe Mountain were well-informed and capable people.
"You, you …" The youth, whose face was red from the cold, walked over and stared at Teng Qingshan and the others with wide eyes.
"Which one of you is Mister Teng?" The youth asked nervously.
"Uncle, we are really looking for you," Little Ping said with a smile. Teng Qingshan also looked at the youth in astonishment and said with a smile, "Little fellow, why are you looking for me?"
The chubby youth scrutinized Teng Qingshan and a hint of joy appeared on his face. "You are Mister Teng?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you? "Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
The youth took a deep breath and said, "I am Yang Dong."
"Yang Dong?" Li Jun, Little Ping, and Teng Shou were slightly puzzled. "Who is Yang Dong?"
Teng Qingshan was also puzzled. He didn't know anyone named Yang Dong.
"My father asked me to look for you, Mister Teng," the youth said nervously.
Li Jun, who was at the side, smiled and asked, "Little fellow, who is your father?"
Teng Qingshan's heart moved … …
"My father is Yang Wang," the youth said.
"Yang Wang?" The four people present were shocked. Coachman Old Wang, who had also followed Teng Qingshan, had said that his name was Wang Yang, but in the letter he left behind, he had said that his real name was Yang Wang!
"You are Yang Wang's son?" Teng Qingshan stared at the youth in astonishment.
"Old Wang's son?" Li Jun was also shocked. She hastily said, "Child, the world is so chaotic. You are traveling alone. Aren't you afraid of being killed by bandits? Quick, come in. It is snowing heavily and very cold outside. Come in quickly. "Li Jun hastily led the chubby youth in.
The fact that he could say the name 'Yang Wang' showed that he was trustworthy.
After all … … only Teng Qingshan and a few others knew that Old Wang's name was Yang Wang.
"Where is your father?" Teng Qingshan hastily asked.
The youth named Yang Dong, who had just sat down, hastily took out a neatly folded letter from his bosom and said cautiously, "Mister Teng, this is the letter my father asked me to give to you!"
"Old Wang's letter?" Teng Qingshan extended his hand and took the letter.
"We are already here. Why are you still holding the bamboo pole?" Li Jun grabbed the bamboo pole in Yang Dong's hand and was about to throw it.
"Little Jun, don't throw it. This is this little fellow's weapon." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
"Weapon?" Li Jun was astonished.
Yang Dong, who had always looked adorable and simple, couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
