Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Heavenly Silk

Amidst the flying stone chips, the old sect leader used his broken limb to pick up the wine jar and drank guzzlingly, then wiped his mouth and shook his head.

"Hey, it's getting worse. When our ancestor Li Jinglei practiced this move, he even shattered his own ancestral hall! Now, even hitting a stone tablet seems a bit difficult."

As he spoke, Chen Tiangang glanced at Xu Yunfan with a slightly trembling hand, trying to hide the shock in his heart.

"Try again."

Hearing Chen Tiangang's words.

Xu Yunfan's shoulder blades suddenly trembled slightly, and when he swung his arms, he left behind dozens of afterimages.

The candlelight on the stone wall in the cave was flickering due to the strong wind, and where the fist wind passed, spider-web-like cracks were plowed out on the three-inch thick bluestone ground.

Cicadas chirping.

This is a unique high-frequency vibration force technique after the Tianchan force integrates the muscles and bones, and it is also one of the most core techniques of the Tianchan Sect.

"Ka!"

After the last punch, the skin on Xu Yunfan's forearm turned a strange blue-gray color, and the bones under the skin slowly returned to their original position as if a living thing.

As the tendons bounced, the blue veins all over the body were squeezed and changed, vaguely resembling the patterns of cicada wings, and the sound of surging blood like a rushing river came from under the skin.

"In twenty days, you will be able to unify your energy and in three days, you will be able to penetrate your entire body."

There was a gleam of light in Chen Tiangang's eyes, and his lowered fingers trembled slightly.

This record even surpassed the founder of the sect who died of madness after being in seclusion for seven days.

Apart from Li Jinglei, the founder of Tianchan Sect, no one has been able to achieve what Xu Yunfan has achieved. It is understandable that he could master the skills in one month, but after mastering the skills, he was able to integrate his muscles, bones, and skin to generate strength within just three days.

The corners of Xu Yunfan's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently looked at the strands of cicada feather-like patterns on Chen Tiangang's body, which quickly spread all over his body as he subconsciously exerted force.

That was the strangeness brought about by Tian Chanyi's blood-changing skill.

Seeing Xu Yunfan's gaze, Chen Tiangang smiled. "This is the characteristic of the body after the Heavenly Chanyi has cultivated to the Blood Exchange Realm. Once the blood and qi are boiling and extremely active, cicada patterns will appear on the skin. At that time, the horizontal training can be said to be invincible at the same level..."

He coughed dryly and said, "If you can reach the Outer Three Combinations Great Martial Master level and pass the sect's assessment, I will pass it on to you."

Suddenly, there was the sound of clothes tearing through the air outside the cave. The hem of Ning Wuque's blue shirt was still stained with morning dew, but when he landed, his toes made a half-inch dent on the blue brick.

As he saluted, the veins on his neck rippled, revealing the unrestrained feeling of Tianchan Jin, but his voice remained gentle:

"The weather is warming up now, and the ground is soft again. The demons of the Xianghuo Sect have already conquered seven cities in a row. The Wuzhou Army urgently needs elite troops from all factions to assist in the defense. They are called the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Army. Wherever they pass, birds and beasts will disappear."

"Master, the Wuzhou Army has sent a message, requiring all the sects in the Five Ridges and Seven Mountains of Wuzhou to send personnel to join the Wuzhou Army and fight against the Xianghuo Cult."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tiangang subconsciously twirled three strands of his beard with his fingers and nodded slightly, saying, "This is a matter of course. As a member of Wuzhou, the Tianchan Sect naturally needs to send someone."

Just as Ning Wuque was about to speak, Chen Tiangang spoke directly, "The fourth brother has been cultivating in the mountains for many years and hasn't been out and about. The third brother is familiar with the officialdom in Wuzhou, so let the third and fourth brothers lead eight inner disciples and two hundred outer disciples to go. Wuque, as the eldest brother, you are about to break through to the Outer Three Combinations Realm. My Tianchan Sect's martial arts are mostly learned in combat. You should go there. If you break through to the Grand Martial Master Realm when you return, I will teach you our sect's supreme and unique skills."

Ning Wuque opened his mouth and then said solemnly, "I will not disgrace my master!"

His knuckles were white from pinching each other, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

After saying that, he took the order and walked out of the power transmission cave in the back hall.

Xu Yunfan saw it all and stood aside without saying anything. Chen Tiangang's words naturally interrupted Ning Wuque's thoughts.

The master's order has been given. If he disobeys it without authorization, he will destroy his image as the eldest senior brother in the minds of others.

What's more, during these days of getting along, although Chen Tiangang treated his disciples well, he was a man of his word and didn't like others to express other opinions.

Chu Xuan, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and stuck out her tongue without daring to make a sound. She quickly walked to Chen Tiangang and took his arm, shaking it.

"Dad, why doesn't Junior Brother go? He is also a Level Three Martial Artist. His aptitude is, but, a little bit better than Senior Brother's."

At the age of twenty-one or twenty-two, he is already a martial artist with three levels of training. Except for the top sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the gathering places of martial artists in the Central Province of Yujing Dao, in these remote Dao provinces, a martial artist with three levels of training at the age of twenty-one or twenty-two is very talented and attracts attention.

Chen Tiangang smiled slightly. "Your junior brother has not yet mastered the Cicada Power. He needs to stay in the mountains to practice. I have other instructions for him."

Seeing that Chu Xuan wanted to say more, Chen Tiangang waved his hand and said, "Alright, stay with Wuque for a while. He will be going down the mountain soon, and I'm afraid we won't be able to see him for a while."

After hearing what Chen Tiangang said, Chu Xuan no longer cared about the calculations in his mind. He hurriedly called out to Senior Brother Ning and quickly trotted to the power transmission cave.

Chen Tiangang, who had always been stern, looked at Chu Xuan who had disappeared from his sight and sighed: "My Tianchan Sect is currently in a period of transition. Fortunately, Ning Wuque and you have emerged. I have watched Ning Wuque grow up since he was a child. He has a very good heart and treats people kindly. He has managed the entire sect in an orderly manner.

To be honest, before we delegated power, the Tianchan Sect was much more dilapidated than it is now, and most of the 100,000 acres of farmland was barren. After Wuque took over, within two or three years, the Tianchan Sect prospered rapidly, and the number of disciples increased several times. When I come back this time, I will teach him the Tianchan Clothes, but..."

Chen Tiangang turned his head and looked at Xu Yunfan. "To enter the Heavenly Chan Sect, one needs to use Heavenly Silkworm Silk as a guide. Currently, the Heavenly Chan Sect has only cultivated two of them. Only one is ready to mature, and the other one will take two years. Can you wait?"

Xu Yunfan said, "Master, please rest assured. I can wait."

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and his eyes seemed to glance at the outer wall of the power transmission cave unintentionally.

He remembered that the stone cave next door was the inner storehouse of Tianchan Sect, and Lin Hanyi had taken him there once to get 300-year-old ginseng.

There seemed to be a sound of breathing.

Then he looked at Chen Tiangang, who seemed unaware of anything and laughed with satisfaction.

"When you break through, I'll take the cocoon and let you become the Heavenly Cicada Clothes!"

Without caring about Xu Yunfan, he walked out of the martial arts cave and limped to apply medicine to his wound. It was an old injury that required fumigation and application of medicine every day.

Xu Yunfan was a little puzzled. Since Ning Wuque had basically taken all the good things, why was he targeting him?

He turned his head to look at the outer wall of the cave. He was very familiar with that breathing sound. Even though there was a cave wall between them, he could still tell that it was Chu Xuan.

Go and come back to eavesdrop.

With Chen Tiangang's strength, how could he not know?

It seemed that Chen Tiangang did it on purpose, and he waited until Chu Xuan got close to the cave wall before saying that.

eccentric.

In a branch warehouse next door, Chu Xuan's back, leaning against the stone wall, was soaked with cold sweat.

She had heard the words "When you break through, you can take out the cocoon", but her mind went blank and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Chu Xuan's face showed anxiety as she paced back and forth in the warehouse.

"What should I do? What should I do… If I give everything to that big guy, won't my eldest brother be able to cultivate to the level of Heavenly Chanyi?!"

Suddenly, she paused anxiously.

"No, I have to talk to my eldest brother about this and ask him to find a way to talk to my father."

Just as Chu Xuan walked out of the inner storehouse, she bumped into Xu Yunfan who was standing at the entrance of the cave. Her face tightened, but she quickly calmed down.

"Junior brother, you scared me by coming out like this."

"Senior Sister, do you know what Master said to me just now in the cave?"

Chu Xuan looked calm and said with a sweet smile, "How could I know what was going on between Master and disciple?"

When Xu Yunfan was about to say something, Chu Xuan said, "Some things can only be understood by seeing and hearing them with your own eyes."

Xu Yunfan's eyes were deep. He was silent for a moment and didn't say anything else. He stepped aside to make way.

Looking at Chu Xuan's quickly departing back, his eyes flashed.

This woman seems to be being used as a gun.

After hearing Chen Tiangang's remarks, Chu Xuan would definitely tell Ning Wuque that creating such a rift would bring him no benefit.

The girl's feet were like the wind, and her deerskin boots embroidered with gold thread crushed dead branches. As she walked quickly across the martial arts field, the silver bells on her waist jingled.

Ning Wuque, who was practicing grappling techniques with his third senior brother, turned around when he heard the voice and was just caught by the girl's cloud-patterned wide sleeves.

"Junior sister, what's the matter? Why are you so mysterious?"
