Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 345 A Gathering of Heroes
Koto.

The collective name of Jiangzhou and Pengzhou, located to the east of the Yangtze River, also known as Jiangzuo.

Since Jiangdong suffered the least damage in all the catastrophes, its people all have an ancient style, and many talented people have emerged there, making it the first choice for young masters from all over the country to travel and hone their skills.

In today's world, Jiangdong and Shendu in Southern Jin Dynasty, and Changle and Juyuan in Northern Zhou Dynasty are also the places where the young people on the world's list gather the most.

The confrontation between young masters on the human list, which is rarely seen in other provinces and counties, can be seen frequently in these four places.

Especially in Jiangdong, not only are there the top three people on the Human List, Wang Siyuan, who calculates all the lives of the people, and He Jiu, who has the Invisible Sword, but also Yan Chong, who has the Long River of Sword Qi, and Jiang Hengchuan, who shocks a hundred miles, who have been practicing here all year round. It has become a must-visit place for training for the young people on the Human List today.

Maoling sounds like the same name as Emperor Wu of Han's Mausoleum, but it is not.

This is the last pier to the west of Jiangzhou, with people coming from the south and the north, and the east and the west intersecting. It is a famous prosperous place in the world, but also a famous den of brothel.

Wangjia Garden, Dajiang Gang Crescent Lake, Yingxiong Building, Tianzi No. 1 Casino, Shili Yishui and so on are all world-famous places in Maoling, which make people who come here linger.

Today, another young man came to Maoling, his name was Gu Meng.

When Meng Qi heard that He Jiu, the former number one on the Human Ranking, had challenged Gu Meng to a duel, and that Gu Meng had accepted the challenge, Gu Meng, who had amazing lightness skills, had already arrived here.

If Xiao Meng wanted to watch the fun, he would definitely not be able to make it, and they were also busy with the Tang family's affairs.

When Gu Meng went to Jiangdong, he naturally learned about the news of other young masters nearby.

In addition to the Invisible Sword He Jiu, it is also worth mentioning that Wang Siyuan has calculated all the lives of the people. These two people are estimated to have returned to their original nature and can break through the external scene at any time.

He Jiu needs a battle to sum up himself. His condition is a bit like the beggar version of Gu Meng. He can break through and probably reach the sky in one step, but such a breakthrough seems to be lacking and not perfect enough.

In fact, for people who are above the level of heaven and man's communication, it is not easy to break through the half-step exterior scene step by step, and then to the exterior scene, which is the normal route for most exterior scenes.

Young people who can become external scenes are all geniuses. It is already very impressive if they can reach the state of communication between heaven and man when they open their orifices. After all, the normal opening of the nine orifices is perfect. One must also add the two levels of the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows and the communication between heaven and man, and one must be young enough.

The unity of man and nature above the interaction between man and nature, when breaking through, the inner scene is naturally manifested externally, stirring up heaven and earth. This is the so-called perfect half step, with implicit control over the laws of heaven and earth, and only waiting for enough time to break through to the external scene naturally. This is already a genius who can guarantee a breakthrough to the external scene.

But the gap is getting bigger and bigger after the exterior scene. The geniuses all want to roll inward in the early stage to get more benefits. The unity of man and nature is stronger than the sympathy between man and nature. The sympathy between man and nature has a probability of being stuck in the half-step exterior scene. The unity of man and nature is almost certain to break through without death or interference.

Returning to the true nature and returning to simplicity has a stronger potential than the unity of man and nature. They are all external scenes. Some people in the external scenes cannot cross the first level of the ladder to heaven in their entire lives. I have never heard of those who return to the true nature and return to simplicity and break through the external scenes being stuck at the previous level of the ladder. Those who have experienced multiple tribulations will almost never get stuck before the Dharma body.

X+1 calamity is stronger than X calamity. The overlord was blessed with three calamities to prove his legend. However, the two cases of four calamities were both from the other side, namely the Human Emperor before and Meng Qi after.

Some of the other shores are like the Three Pure Ones, who were born on the other shore. The next ones were born with the creation and legend, and the next ones also had Dharma bodies. Very few of them had to take the step of breaking through the external scene and the calamity that was added to their bodies. However, these people practiced Taoism for a terrifyingly long time, which meant that everyone had a long lifespan at that time...

In short, even if the people at the top of the human list can achieve half a step towards perfect unity between man and nature, they may not be willing to break through directly. They all want to make further progress. Everyone really wants to improve.

Different from He Jiu who has no worries and simply wants to be perfect, Wang Siyuan is born in the Wang family and is unlucky. If he breaks through the outer scene, he will be in more danger. In short, he is still hiding. If a real fight breaks out, he and He Jiu will probably be at the same level... To be honest, Gu Meng believes that among the people at the top of the list who are fighting to the death, the strongest one will definitely be Gu Xiaosang.

Thinking about this, Gu Meng listened to the discussions of the nearby Jianghu people. Most of them were about how he and He Jiu had both reached their limits, one was the ex-boyfriend and the other was the current one, and who was stronger and who was weaker. He couldn't help but laugh.

I am on the human list because of the rules, it does not mean that my strength is just the limit of the human list.

A trace of invincible loneliness flashed in his eyes. In fact, he really thought about finding a Dharma body... Dharma bodies are a little dangerous, so would it be more face-saving to find a master of evil ways whose martial arts are qualified to be on the top of the Earth Ranking, and step on his head to break through in the battle? However, since He Jiu invited him, then come over and give some pointers. This is a teaching game.

Gu Meng put his hands behind his back and never considered those on the human list as his opponents.

By the way, after Gu Meng joined Xianji and came to Jiangdong, he did not try to conceal his whereabouts, so his whereabouts were also spread.

Everyone is saying "Ba Dao Gu Meng is coming to Jiangdong, seemingly to challenge Invisible Sword He Jiu."

"Invisible Sword He Jiu left the East Sea Sword Manor and crossed the sea to land in Pengzhou Langya."

"Wang Siyuan, who has calculated all the lives of the people, left the ancestral home of the Wang family in Guangling and his whereabouts are unknown. He may also want to join the war."

"Yan Chong, the river of sword energy, left the sword training place on the seashore of Pengzhou and headed towards Maoling."

"Wolf King Tie Sheng is heading south quickly, he may also want to join the battle."

All the above items and events represent the whereabouts of a young master who is at the top of the human list, and they all come to Jiangdong at the same time.

Because although Gu Meng's background did not come out of nowhere and he had some foundation, the outside world thought he was the Taiyue Sect's hidden disciple and secret weapon or something, who was planning to do something big. However, he rose to power too quickly, and his record seemed exaggerated. Others also thought he was very mysterious, and many of the masters on the human list were dissatisfied.

Now that he has made an appointment to fight with the Invisible Sword, others naturally don't want to miss it.

Especially those young strong men at the top of the human list, they want to see how much difference there is in strength between themselves and the three people in front of them, and also take the opportunity to challenge them and hone their own martial arts.

At this moment, Gu Meng's heart moved slightly and he looked towards the courtyard gate.

After a while, a tall, beautiful girl with wheat-colored skin walked in, exuding the gentle aura of the Jiangnan water town. It was Qi Xia.

Qi Xia is the daughter of the deputy leader of the Dajiang Gang, and Jiangdong is the sphere of influence of the Dajiang Gang, so let's make an appointment.

I also met a lot of teammates this time, Xiao Meng, Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen, Qi Zhengyan, Qi Xia... Except for Ruan Yushu who has been with me in the previous mission, I have basically met all of them offline. As for Ke Bijun, she is still in Taiyue Sect waiting for me to return.

"Brother Gu, we meet again."

Qi Xia and Gu Meng had met in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space not long ago, so they naturally wouldn't say they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but it was indeed their first time meeting in the real world, and they looked at each other.

Gu Meng felt that Qi Xia was much more relaxed now that he was in his territory. She had been a little scared after Qing Jing died in Xuantian Sect, because she also wanted to inform on the Dajiang Gang at that time, so she was much more cautious in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space afterwards. Now that she met him in Jiangdong, she felt closer to the free and unrestrained feeling when they first met.

Qi Xia's feeling about Gu Meng is that Gu Meng's aura in the real world is not as strong as that in the reincarnation space - in fact, Gu Meng was instinctively careful in the real world before - or maybe he often faced strong enemies in the reincarnation space, so Gu Meng is actually more low-key in his normal state? This is how Qi Xia understands it.

However, when a real fight breaks out, he will definitely still be in the domineering and invincible style that we have in mind. There are only wrong names on the human list, no wrong nicknames (I mention Mang Jin Gang again). Since Big Brother Gu still has this nickname, his fighting style must not have changed.

"Well, we meet again, Junior Sister Qi."

The two greeted each other, and Gu Meng asked again: "Junior Sister Qi came to visit today, is there any news?"

Qi Xia said in a relaxed tone: "The main reason I came here is to reminisce about the past with you and to show my hospitality as a host. My father knows that I had some friendship with the number one on the human list when I was traveling before, and he is also a little curious about you. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to meet him or not..."

"That's great. I've been out for too long and don't want to do any other side quests. I really don't want to see your dad, hahahaha."

Gu Meng said this honestly and bluntly, and used some game vocabulary that he often used when chatting with Xiao Meng, because they had done more tasks for Lao Liu together, and Qi Xia could understand it.

The main reason why Gu Meng didn't see me was that I couldn't just eat when we met, I would have to use my brain to socialize. The other party's identity and my own identity would make many things difficult to avoid. Maybe the elders would even test my martial arts. I didn't know how to react. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I won?

It might be more comfortable to meet her next time when he is promoted to the external scene or even the Dharma body. Anyway, he doesn't want to see her, and he doesn't want to date Qi Xia. The elders from Zhang Yuanshan's side have all found excuses to avoid her.

"Hahaha, big brother, you really are..." Qi Xia's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible disappointment, but he became indifferent:

"There is one more small matter. On my way here, I received news that Yan Chong has arrived at Maoling and challenged you, Brother Gu, saying that he wants to fight with you in a sword fight to see if your sword is sharp. He also said that his sword is not bad either. Hahahaha, it's really ridiculous."

Qi Xia is not in the reincarnation space. She is a more sunny type, and Yan Chong’s challenge does seem ridiculous to her.

You want to fight Sun Wukong? I feel like you can't even beat Benboerba.

"Yan Chong? He looks familiar... on the list?" Gu Meng asked.

"Yes, it's still in the top ten."

After hearing Qi Xia's words, Gu Meng shook his head and sighed that as he became famous, he would inevitably encounter this kind of side quest... Just meet him, no need to speak, no need to use your brain, just knock him down with one move.

"correct."

Qi Xia continued, "Young Master Qinglian Liusu has also arrived in Maoling, but he has been lingering in various restaurants, tasting fine wine, and it seems that he has no intention of taking action. In addition, Wang Siyuan, who has calculated everything for the common people, seems to have appeared as well."

……

On a tall and magnificent ship at the dock of Maoling City.

A young man in white clothes, with beautiful features like a woman, but thin and pale face as if he was terminally ill, sat in front of a chessboard, staring at the endgame intently, as if thinking about how to crack it.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Maoling City, with a blush of excitement on his face, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Suddenly, the young man in white started coughing violently and covered his mouth with his right hand.

Seeing this, the maid next to him hurriedly patted his back to soothe his breathing, with a worried look on her face.

The young man in white took a long time to recover. He put down his right hand that was covering his mouth, and there was a hint of bright red in it.

However, the young man in white didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said to himself, "Interesting. Could he be the...big shot who has enough weight to change his fate?"

Wang Siyuan's nickname is "Calculating All the People". He is mysterious and unpredictable. He is extremely fanatical about planning things, almost crazy. Although he can rely on fate, he wants to go against fate.

In the original novel, he took over as the head of the family after the incident of the blue-blooded man and studied mathematics. After Meng Qi severed his connection with the Demon Buddha, he used the Luoshu to get rid of the trick imposed on the Wang family by the Demon Buddha, and later achieved the "True Body of Yi Dao" and reaped good rewards.

……

In a restaurant in Maoling, a young man was drunk.

He was about twenty years old and his appearance was only decent, but his temperament was elegant and unrestrained, like a blue lotus blooming between heaven and earth. Combined with the white hair on his head, he gave people a feeling of leisurely and vicissitudes of life.

grunt.

He suddenly took a gulp of wine. Only those who knew him well would know that he was also a master on the individual list.

……

In front of a river bank in Maoling.

A young man in black clothes was sitting facing the river, with a long knife across his knees.

He has a square face, strong features, and an extraordinary heroic temperament.

At this moment, his figure seemed to merge with the long sword on his knees and the long river in front of him, giving people a feeling as deep as a river. If Meng Qi saw this, he would definitely think that this style of swordsman painting is good. In fact, the focus is not the sword at all, but his own style of painting is too "barbaric". There are only wrong names on the list, but no wrong nicknames.

……

On a large river not far from Maoling, a tall ship was sailing on the surface of the river.

On the deck of the ship, a tall figure sat there.

He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, tall, with sword-like eyebrows and deep eyes. His appearance was not outstanding, but he looked so heroic as he sat there, as if no enemy in the world could scare him.

If you don't use your eyes to see, but only use your spiritual perception, you will find that there is only a group of sword energy that is almost integrated with the heaven and earth, fluctuating and emitting a soul-stirring sword intent.

Just then, an old servant came over and handed him a note.

The man took the note, read its contents, his eyes lit up, and his aura instantly soared into the sky.

At this moment, it seemed as if thousands of sword energies appeared where the man was, giving people a feeling of thousands of swords flying at the same time.

As he breathed, his Qi converged. The man put down the note and looked into the distance. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured, "Ba Dao, a long river of sword energy... Young Master Wang, I hope what you said is true."

……

Yan Chong, the master of the sword energy, challenges Gu Meng, the tyrant swordsman, who is passing by on his way to accept the invitation of the Invisible Sword, to a duel. A big fight has begun in the front row of the human list.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly detonated the entire Maoling City, and even spread to the entire Jiangdong. Even the five-star...

Yan Chong, the River of Sword Qi, was born in a small sect. Relying on his own talent and perseverance, he surpassed many disciples of the top sects step by step and became a young and powerful person at the top of the human list. He is the idol of countless martial artists in small sects and independent cultivators.

Gu Meng suddenly appeared, and his past was very mysterious, but after his appearance, he directly killed a master of the outdoor scene, and had the momentum to surpass ordinary outdoor scenes. He directly ranked first on the list with his incredible record. Later, he scared away the demon girl Gu Xiaosang. His strength was unfathomable, but he didn't take many direct actions.

How could the battle between these two people not attract the attention of the people in the martial arts world? Everyone rushed over, not wanting to miss this shocking battle!
……

Heroes Building.

The building is five stories high, with a red and black background. It is solemn yet reveals a hint of passion. It is a place as famous as Maoling, Wang's Garden, and Dajiang Gang's Crescent Lake. Everyone in Maoling knows about it.

The owner of the Hero Building is named Ren Pingsheng. His identity is mysterious and his specific strength is unknown. It is rumored that he is a master of the field level.

There is a guard on each floor of the building. If one can pass the fifth floor and enter the roof, he will become famous throughout Maoling and even Jiangdong. It is the best stage for those who have just entered the world of martial arts to become famous overnight.

As I said, in this world there may be people who don’t like power, people who don’t like money, people who don’t like food, people who don’t like drinking, people who don’t like sex, and people who don’t like gambling.

But except for those who have truly seen through the world and are indifferent to fame and fortune, who would not seek fame and show off in front of others?

Therefore, every day, countless young people come here to challenge the guards of the Hero Building, hoping to get past all the guards on the five floors, climb to the top of the Hero Building, and become famous.

Even many disciples of major sects who travel around the world are young masters who are on the list of famous people. After arriving in Jiangdong and stepping into Maoling, they will go to the Hero Building once, not only to hone their martial arts, but also to prove their own strength.

Three days later.

The sky was clear and blue, without a single cloud or a trace of floating fluff, as if all the colors had been filtered out, and it was shining magnificently.

The front of the Heroes Building was now filled with all kinds of people from the martial arts world, even several times more than in the past.

However, these martial arts people did not line up like in the past, waiting to enter the Hero Building to challenge, but scattered around, looking expectantly at a figure on the field.

It was a handsome figure in black tights, with strong features and an upright figure.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the Heroes Building, with a long sword placed between his knees. He was like a vast river with no waves but surging and deep.

Moreover, some people in the martial arts world who have strong eyesight and sharp minds can clearly feel that the figure fits in perfectly with the surrounding world. It just sits there, seemingly ordinary, but there is no disharmony in it.

"Unity of man and nature?"

On a loft not far from the Hero Building, a young man with a long sword on his waist was looking at the figure sitting on the field and muttering.

Thinking of the characteristics of the several spiritual realms after the Nine Apertures explained to him by his elders, he said with disbelief in his tone:

"This is the realm where one can open the gate of life and death at any time and achieve half a step of perfection. I'm afraid that the realm of perfect unity between man and nature is not far away! Even Yan Chong, the Great River of Sword Qi, has reached this realm, so what about those ahead of him? The value of this generation list is too high!"

At the same time, not only this young man, but many people in the martial arts world around him noticed the spiritual realm displayed by Yan Chong at this time, and they showed surprised expressions for a moment.

Yes, although returning to the original nature is also in the realm of awakening, but just think about how many levels there are above the Nine Apertures and you will know that it is actually not common. The limit is to be able to achieve perfect unity between man and nature and then perfectly take a half-step to the external scene or even take a step to the external scene directly.

Most of the ordinary people in a generation have the highest level of unity between man and nature, and it is not necessarily perfect. In the original book, that era was an era of great contention, with geniuses emerging in large numbers. In the end, Xiao Meng, who had gained all kinds of plug-ins in the awakening period, such as Thunder God, Evil Lord, and Yuanshi Golden Seal, who added crazy buffs, and finally had four calamities. What's more, this time there is also Gu Meng, who is at the outer level, and he is even more heavyweight.

“I didn’t expect that the long river of sword energy has actually gone so far in the realm of unity between man and nature!”

"Yes, I really want to see the people ahead of him. Is it possible that someone has already reached the perfect state of unity between man and nature and can break through at any time? Just waiting for a hearty battle?"

“Haha, I originally thought that the River of Blade Qi was no match for Tyrant Blade, but now I am even more excited about the outcome of the battle!”

"This is the style of Jiangdong! Talents are everywhere."

……

Just as everyone was discussing, a voice suddenly rang out: "I didn't expect that Young Master Qinglian Liusu would appear in Maoling. It seems that he is also very interested in the battle between Tyrant Blade and Sword Qi Changhe!"

These were the words of a man in the martial arts world who knew Liusu. Everyone followed his gaze and saw a young man wearing a green robe, with white hair, and a chic and vicissitudes of life temperament sitting in the attic not far away. It was Liusu. How to say it, he was also a young master, but his ranking was definitely not in the top ten, as the competition in the front row was too fierce this time.

However, although he may not be able to defeat Xiao Meng now, he possesses the charm of a young man that Xiao Meng does not have, so he will still win.

……

Not only that, one by one the young men on the Human List appeared in everyone's sight, quietly waiting for the battle between Changhe of Sword Qi and Ba Dao, which made those people in the martial arts world who rarely saw the young men on the Human List very excited and looked forward to the next battle even more.

And all this happened until the two young men appeared in everyone's sight together, and the atmosphere on the scene was completely ignited.

One of the two young men was tall, with a confident and heroic temperament; the other had a woman's face, pale and colorless, and a thin figure, as if he was terminally ill.

"Invisible Sword He Jiu?"

"Calculate all the lives of the common people, Wang Siyuan?"

"The former No. 1 and No. 2 on the Human Ranking, they both came to Maoling and came to watch the competition between Tyrant Blade and Sword Qi Changhe?"

"That's right. He Jiu heard that Gu Meng was already on his way to find him and was challenged to a fight. He couldn't hold back and just wanted to start a fight right away?"

"We are so lucky today!"

"Be careful that they start fighting and hurt us by mistake. This group of people may have a trump card to defeat Banbu Waijing."

"It's better to stay away from it."

"I don't care, I want to see a river of blood!"

……

He Jiu and Wang Siyuan ignored the discussions of the crowd. They sat on the attic and looked at Yan Chong not far away.

He Jiu suddenly said, "Brother Wang, you sent a message to ask me to come here. Did you know that the Tyrant Sword would come here? You might have figured out his true strength. Is it true that someone in the awakening stage can defeat Wai Jing who is in good condition?"

"cough cough"

Just as Wang Siyuan was about to speak, he coughed a few times involuntarily, but he didn't care at all and chuckled, "It's unspeakable. Brother He will know next."

Of course, he did not use martial arts to calculate it. He could only feel that Gu Meng's fate was extraordinary. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not calculate it directly, otherwise he might have died directly. Gu Meng is no longer under the deep blue protection when he just landed. Everyone who looks at him, including those on the other side, looks at him as an ordinary person. He can no longer hide now, and he doesn't need to hide. It is clear that he has a relationship with the Lord of Morality.

But although Wang Siyuan couldn't get the answer through martial arts, he could still predict the whereabouts in advance based on the known information.

If you can't solve the problem with strength, then use wisdom. Wisdom is also strength, which makes sense.

"you……"

Looking at that smiling charlatan's face, even though he had known him for a long time, He Jiu still had the urge to punch him.

Forcibly suppressing the itchy feeling, He Jiu turned his gaze to Yan Chong not far away, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

I'm itching to fight, and I want to show off my prowess in front of others. This lively occasion is perfect for a competition.

There is no doubt that most swordsmen on the human list like to show off, with few exceptions.

But all this excitement disappeared when that adult walked in.

No identification or action required.

Just by looking at the domineering aura emanating from him, everyone gasped and thought in their hearts, "This boy is so terrifying," and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Everyone knows that the Tyrant Sword has arrived!

……

"These two are quite extraordinary, both of them have the appearance of a Dharma body. There are so many talented people in the world... Wait a minute, with this temperament, could it be He Jiu and Wang Siyuan? Well, it seems that we can break through today."

Feeling the aura emitted by the two people, Gu Meng had a guess about their identities.

Feeling that it was nothing serious, Gu Meng continued to stride forward, as if no one was around, walking with great vigor.

Today was the first time they met Gu Meng. They looked at each other and said, "He is so domineering..."
