After Pei San went into closed-door cultivation, the Land of the Nine Prefectures quietened down. Only Rongzhou and Liangzhou, which were located in the western part of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, occasionally had small-scale battles erupt. The Emperor Yu's Hall and the Ying Family, which were neighboring these two prefectures, sent their men and started to conquer territories in these two prefectures. Even the Gui Yuan Sect, which was not considered strong, had taken over several counties near Yanzhou.
The only obstacle for the three sects was the remnants of the Mani Temple!
The Mani Temple was deeply rooted in these two prefectures. Moreover, there were many remnant armies in various places. Moreover, the people of the two prefectures believed in Buddhism, so it was extremely difficult to unify them.
Compared to the three Supreme Sects, the Xing Yi Sect was very relaxed. The Qingshan Guild Hall easily moved into the various counties.
After all, none of the three great sects were willing to become enemies with the Xing Yi Sect just because of a small matter like the establishment of the Qingshan Enterprise. As for the remaining members of the Mani Temple, they didn't dare to provoke them. For a period of time, Qingshan Enterprise Hall was the fastest to spread throughout Rongzhou and Liangzhou. In addition, Qingshan Enterprise Hall sold the "Tiger Form Fist Art", which caused the Internal Martial Art to spread even faster.
*****
Although there were small-scale wars in the land of the Nine Prefectures. However, the Emptiness Realm Experts in the Land of the Nine Prefectures remained calm. Seclusion was seclusion, and teaching was teaching.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. It was now winter.
…
"Hu ~ ~" "Hou ~ ~"
The cold wind whistled as if an invisible beast was roaring. Snowflakes the size of goose feathers fluttered in the air, turning the entire world into a world of snow. In the Heavenly God Palace of Qingzhou, Pei Xuelian, who was dressed in a white fox fur coat, dashed out of her room. She looked like a fairy as she drifted away quickly.
"Father, are you coming out of seclusion?" Pei Xuelian's face was filled with joy as she rushed towards the place where Pei San was cultivating in seclusion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures rushed over from Heaven God Palace. They were Pei Xuelian and Li Chao from Sword Sect. When the two of them landed outside an elegant pavilion, they stopped.
"Father has been in seclusion for so long. He's finally coming out!" Pei Xuelian said happily.
"Junior Sister, what kind of breakthrough do you think Master will make this time?" Li Chao's eyes shone brightly. "With Master's achievements, if he makes another breakthrough, maybe … maybe he'll reach the Omnipotent Realm."
"A supreme expert?" Pei Xuelian was slightly taken aback. Then, she nodded and said, "It's very possible. Father hasn't been in seclusion for a long time. This time, I'm sure there will be some gains. "
Suddenly —
The wooden door of the pavilion seemed to be pushed open by an invisible hand. Pei San, who was dressed in a loose golden robe, had a full beard on his face. However, his eyes were like two black jade stones, and his skin glowed faintly. It was as lustrous as a high-quality jade, sparkling and translucent.
"Supreme Expert? Xue Lian, it is not easy to become an Omnipotent Expert, "Pei San said with a smile.
"Father?" Pei Xuelian was confused.
"Master?" Li Chao was also shocked.
They had followed Pei San for more than a hundred years, so they naturally knew Pei San well. Although Pei San treated his disciple and daughter well, Pei Xuelian and Li Chao could sense a terrifying, ferocious aura hidden under his mask of calmness and gentleness.
They knew that their master (father) would never hurt them.
However, deep in their hearts, the two of them felt a trace of fear towards Pei San.
Today, however, they suddenly realized that Pei San no longer had the terrifying aura that he used to have. Instead, he was mellow and didn't reveal any aura. He looked like a kind elder. Based on the change in aura, Li Chao and Pei Xuelian knew that Pei San must have gained something.
"Xue Lian, Ah Chao."
Pei San handed over the three pieces of paper and said, "Take a look at these three letters."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Father."
The one-armed Li Chao and Pei Xuelian took the letters. Pei Xuelian took two, and Li Chao took one. Both of them looked at the letters, wanting to see what Pei San had written.
"What?!"
"No, Master …"
Pei Xuelian and Li Chao looked at the letters as if they had seen a ghost. They were extremely shocked.
"Father, you … you …" Pei Xuelian raised her head and looked at Pei San.
"Don't ask too many questions." Pei San smiled and said, "Follow what I have written. Arrange for people to send these letters to the three supreme sects as soon as possible."
Pei Xuelian and Li Chao looked at each other. They were worried.
"Eh?" Pei San frowned.
Pei Xuelian and Li Chao knew that no one could change Pei San's orders.
"Yes, Master (Father)."
Pei Xuelian and Li Chao immediately put away the three letters and gave their orders.
*****
In the East Flower Garden, where the Sovereign of the Xing Yi Sect, Teng Qingshan, lived, in the distant Yangzhou in the south.
A cold wind blew. The thirteen elites of the Xing Yi Sect were listening to Teng Qingshan's teachings on the training field. Of these thirteen people, eight had reached the Grandmaster Realm in the Internal Martial Art. The other five were the most promising cultivators in the Xing Yi Sect. They were the geniuses of the Internal Martial Art that the Xing Yi Sect had focused on nurturing.
These thirteen elites included Teng Shou, the Eldest Martial Brother of the Xing Yi Sect, and Meng Hong, who was only fourteen years old.
"Practice the first three moves of the Nine Metal Elemental Forms of the 《Five Elemental Quintessence》," Teng Qingshan ordered.
"Yes."
A sturdy man dressed in gray clothes answered respectfully. Then, he went to the training field and started practicing the first three moves of the 《Nine Metal Elemental Forms》.
The 《Five Elemental Quintessence》 was the most valuable book in the Xing Yi Sect. It was a book that Teng Qingshan had recorded the breathing control, body movements, and conceptions of the five fist arts, including the 《Metal Elemental Fist》 and the 《Wood Elemental Fist》. The 《Nine Metal Elemental Forms》 was also known as the 《Metal Elemental Fist》. However, Teng Qingshan also imparted the fist art step by step.
When one reached the Grandmaster Realm, he would teach the first three moves.
When one reached the Supreme Force, he would teach the first six moves.
When one reached the middle stage of the Supreme Force, he would learn the ninth move!
When he saw the three moves of the Grandmaster Realm, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He instructed, "You are not practicing the right moves. Although you are slightly off, you are still far off from the right move. When you go back, practice the 《Yin Yang Cannon Fist》 of the 《Cannon Fist》 carefully. When you have fully comprehended the 《Yin Yang Cannon Fist》, you can practice the first three moves of the 《Nine Metal Elemental Forms》. "
"Yes." The burly man revealed a joyful expression as he bowed and replied.
The elites of the Xing Yi Sect all cherished the opportunity to learn from Teng Qingshan. Sometimes, they could not comprehend the Nine Metal Elemental Forms even if they tried very hard. However, Teng Qingshan's Cultivation Stage was much higher than theirs. Teng Qingshan could often see the problem and point out the solution.
It seemed that the Cannon Fist and the 《Nine Metal Elemental Forms》 did not match. However, in the eyes of the sturdy man, what Teng Qingshan said was reasonable. No one in the Xing Yi Sect dared to doubt Teng Qingshan's words.
"Next, your name is Meng Hong, right?" Teng Qingshan smiled as he looked at the newly rising genius of the Xing Yi Sect.
"Sovereign." The skinny young man seemed nervous and excited as he stood before Teng Qingshan.
"You …" Teng Qingshan was about to speak when he suddenly frowned.
He turned his head and looked outside. He saw the Substitute Sovereign of the Xing Yi Sect, Yang Dong, running towards him. Normally, when Teng Qingshan was teaching the elites of the Xing Yi Sect, no one was allowed to disturb him. Even if he had secret information, he would not be in a hurry to get it unless something big happened.
"Dong, what's the matter?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Teacher, Teacher, take a look." Yang Dong looked pale as he handed the letter to Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan took the letter and looked at it. The cover of the letter was glowing with Purple Gold. It was the most expensive paper in the Land of the Nine Prefectures — Purple Gold Paper. One had to know that purple gold was much more valuable than gold. This letter alone could be used to buy a good mansion in a city.
"Eh?" When Teng Qingshan saw the letter, he frowned. "A letter from Pei San?"
Whoosh!
Teng Qingshan opened the letter and took out the paper.
There were a few lines of words written on the paper. "Teng Qingshan, six years from now, on the 18th of December, we will fight on the White Horse Lake in Jiangning County of Yangzhou! There are only a few people in the world who can fight against me. You, Teng Qingshan, are one of them. You and I might be able to use this opportunity to comprehend the profound principles and become powerful. I hope that you, Teng Qingshan, will come. If you don't come, I will have to go to the Xing Yi Sect to challenge you. "
At the bottom right corner of the letter, there were four words written by Pei San.
"Challenge me six years from now?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
Compared to Pei San, Teng Qingshan knew that he was no match for Pei San. "However, Pei San is forcing me to fight! He said that he will fight me on the White Horse Lake. If I don't go, he will come. "Teng Qingshan's good mood was ruined by this letter.
Six years from now?
On the White Horse Lake? Fight against Pei San?
"Teacher." Yang Dong looked at Teng Qingshan anxiously.
"Go. I know what to do," Teng Qingshan said as he put away the letter.
…
The Xing Yi Sect was not the only sect that received letters. Emperor Yu's Hall and the Ying Family in Yongzhou also received letters.
"What?"
In the Blind Bear Mountain Range, Huang Tianqin looked at the letter in his hand with an ugly expression on his face. "He wants to fight me in one year? What does Pei San want? If I don't go, he will come to the Emperor Yu's Hall? Isn't this forcing me to fight? Hmph … However, if I fight him, I won't win. I will just embarrass myself. "
"Hmph, I won't fight him. Let's see what he can do." Huang Tianqin threw the letter on the ground angrily. Before the letter landed on the ground, it turned into powder.
…
In the Ying Family in the Qinling Mountain Range.
In the deep underground palace.
Qin Shiqi, who was wearing a Purple Gold cloak, opened the envelope and took out the letter. As he read the contents of the letter, he smiled stiffly and said, "Interesting. Interesting. Pei San wants to challenge me! Now, I have reached the culmination of the Insightful Emptiness Realm. I am only one step away from the Omnipotent Expert Realm. "
"However, this step is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"If I fight against Pei San, I might be able to comprehend something. I might be able to take the last step and reach the Omnipotent Expert Realm." Qin Shiqi's eyes shone with a sword light. "Three years from now, on the 12th of December, at the peak of the Green Dragon Hill in the Qinling Mountain Range? Alright. Three years from now, Pei San … I want to see who is stronger! "
