The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 212 Ancient Emperor
Within the sealed space.

Fang Xun didn't know that the changes in Qinggang Mountain had also affected the seal of Dingtian Mountain in the north.

He watched the pure white wall in front of him collapse bit by bit.

The ground continued to vibrate slightly, but it had no effect on Xun and Xue Ren.

Xue Ren was no longer as indifferent as he had been along the way. His eyes were filled with passion. As long as he could break through the Yang God, he would give up the huge foundation of Tianwang Water Fort.

Grandmaster Yangshen is a powerful person standing at the top of the pyramid of the world. He is revered by countless people wherever he goes.

Once you become a Yang God, you can go anywhere in the world. Xue Ren doesn’t care about a small Tianwang Water Fort.

As more and more cracks appeared on the wall, it seemed that it had finally reached its limit.

The white wall groaned and instantly shattered into sticky white mist, which then slowly dissipated, revealing a long corridor in front of Fang Xun and Xue Ren.

"Let's go! The center of the seal is in front of us, and we need you to take action to break it!"

When Xue Ren saw the wall collapsing, he immediately rushed into the corridor impatiently, not caring that there was still some white mist that had not dissipated.

Fang Xun followed him in and looked back after entering the corridor.

The sealed space was shrouded in white mist, leaving only a long entrance passage.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but as time goes by, the fog in the passage becomes thicker every moment.

"It's not an illusion. Although the changes are imperceptible, the seal is indeed recovering. After a while, the mist will condense into a wall again!"

Fang Xun didn't look again, but continued walking forward without looking back.

The corridor was very long, with stone walls on both sides. The strange thing was that although there was no lighting, the corridor was bright as day.

However, Xue Ren in front looked even more strange in Fang Xun's eyes. He clearly looked impatient when he came in, fearing that if he walked too slowly, the entrance would be blocked again.

But after coming in, Xue Ren's pace obviously slowed down again.

Fang Xun saw that he was staring at the left wall, his steps were getting slower and slower unconsciously, and finally he stopped.

Immediately, after the "Turtle Mirror" had been operating for a while, he sensed a shocked emotion from Xue Ren, and hurriedly walked up to ask.

"what happened?"

"look by youself!"

Xue Ren responded without turning his head, staring at the wall as if he was possessed.

Fang Xun also looked towards the wall on the left. After seeing it, he seemed to be possessed and could not take his eyes away.

From this section on, I saw murals appearing on the originally smooth wall.

In the first mural, Fang Xun saw a group of people wearing animal skins and eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Continuing to look, in the second, third and fourth murals, there appeared ferocious beasts, trampling on backward primitive tribes.

The author of the mural had an outstanding ability in depiction. Fang Xun could even feel the despair and unwillingness of the people in the painting, who could only struggle to survive in a world surrounded by giant beasts.

He realized something immediately.

"This is the ancient times, no, it is the ancient times, before the era of the Human Emperor!"

There was no martial arts at that time, and primitive human tribes were just like the ones in the murals. They could only look up at the terrifying beasts and struggle to survive under their noses.

By the fifth mural, the time seemed to have spanned countless years in an instant.

The scene suddenly changed, and Fang Xun saw a tall and heroic man standing in the air in a majestic and ancient city, and below him, countless people were bowing down in worship.

Look at the clothes. Everyone no longer wears animal skins, but silk instead.

There was also a corpse of a giant beast that looked somewhat like a tiger and was at least a hundred feet long, placed in a square that seemed to be used for sacrifice.

Fang Xun looked at the people in the mural, and felt as if he had returned to that arduous era.

At this time, Xue Ren finally spoke, looking at the figure standing in the void in the fifth mural and said, "This is the first generation of human emperor Lieshan!"

Fang Xun nodded. The Lieshan clan created a martial art that absorbs the essence and blood of animals to strengthen one's own qi and blood, giving the human race the strength to hunt exotic beasts!
Then he looked at the murals at the back and saw the sixth, seventh and eighth patterns.

At this time, Lieshan was already in his twilight years. Fang Xun saw that in the last moment of his life, he flew into a mountain, as if he had become one with the mountain.

Yes, it was like blending into a mountain. The picture on the wall gave Fang Xun the feeling that the other person had integrated everything about himself into the mountain.

When Xue Ren saw the mural, he couldn't help but speak.

"So this is the source of the earth vein seal. I only heard about it from a certain strong man in the headquarters before, but now I have actually seen the murals that record this scene. These murals should have been left by Ziwei Sanren."

"Ok?"

When Fang Xun heard the name 'Ziwei Sanren', he immediately recalled a lot of memories.

Ziwei Sanren, the seed of inheritance left behind by Zhoutian Xinggong, relied on the foundation left by the sect and his outstanding talent, and became a Yangshen Grandmaster before the age of fifty.

But in the end, he was hunted down and killed by the previous dynasty Da Zhou because of his careless actions. Before his death, he left a legacy hidden somewhere in Jiangnan.

This is what Fang Xun knows. He only knows the general idea without many details. Now it seems that Xue Ren knows more.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned to look at Xue Ren and asked, "Is this seal related to Ziwei Sanren?"

Xue Ren's eyes still did not leave the mural, but he nodded and replied: "Yes, Ziwei Sanren just left the inheritance in the underground palace that serves as the core of the formation when he destroyed the seal!"

Fang Xun sighed and said, "But now it seems that he has failed." But Xue Ren shook his head in denial.

“No, it cannot be considered a failure, he succeeded, otherwise the Yangshen Grandmasters of our era would have been completely extinct!
The so-called ground vein seal can be regarded as a formation that connects all the ground veins in the world. There are five important nodes in the formation, one of which is fixed, and the specific positions of the other four will change with the changes in the terrain!
As for Qinggang Mountain, it was where Zhoutian Xinggong began to guide the construction of the Jiangnan Canal more than 800 years ago, and it was fixed by the arrangement of water veins.

After the fall of the Zhoutian Xing Palace, I, Heishuiyuan, took over the task of determining the meridians and continued to fine-tune the Jiangnan water veins, allowing this node to remain fixed at Qinggang Mountain for more than 600 years!"

Fang Xun understood everything after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "Then Beiyuan Dingtian Mountain should be the work of the Black Water Abyss headquarters, right?"

Xue Ren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fang Xun: "Do you know Dingtian Mountain?"

“We don’t know much, but we can be sure that it is also one of the mobile nodes!

Let's not talk about this for now. I want to know what you mean by the source of the earth vein seal. Could it be that the earth vein seal that caused the spiritual power of heaven and earth to degenerate was done by the first generation of human emperor?"

"You will understand if you continue to read. No matter how much I say, it will not be as real as what is written on the mural."

Xue Ren smiled but did not answer, then turned around and continued to browse the murals.

Fang Xun did not ask any more questions and took another look at the eighth pattern. He felt that the mountain looked familiar. He wondered where he had seen it before. After recalling it, he immediately remembered it.

"Yongzhou Tianyin Mountain!"

Tianyin Mountain is ten thousand feet high and is the highest peak in the world. He once saw a landscape painting that depicted the overall outline of Tianyin Mountain.

Although Fang Xun was sure that the Tianyin Mountain in the mural was definitely not as high as it is now, its outline was exactly the same.

"Could it be that Tianyin Mountain is also a ground vein sealing node?"

With this thought in mind, Fang Xun continued to browse the murals behind.

By the time of the Human Emperor, it was obvious that the level of development of human civilization had undergone earth-shaking changes, and it had completely left the primitive tribal era.

Of course, this is also because Ziwei Sanren did not record this development process.

From the ancient tribal era to the rise of the Lieshan clan to become the common rulers of the human race, it took at least four to five thousand years for humans to gain the power to fight against strange beasts.

Starting from the eighth picture, Fang Xun saw the second generation of Human Emperor - Lieyang.

The Lieshan clan has opened up a relatively stable living space for the human race, although there are still occasional attacks by strange beasts causing heavy casualties.

But overall, things have become much more stable and no longer as precarious as before.

When it came to the era of the Lieyang clan, Fang Xun saw a series of murals that vividly described a young man covered in starlight constantly hunting one exotic beast after another.

The young man had a cold gaze and a murderous look between his brows. A scarlet star shone brightly in the sky, and its star power sprinkled on the young man, covering him with a layer of star clothes.

It made him look murderous, but Fang Xun felt very familiar with him.

"Isn't that the Seven Killing Stars? The second generation emperor Lieyang is the one with the Seven Killing Stars?"

The mural showing the scene of Lieyang clan fighting against strange beasts is a microcosm of that era as a whole.

Kill strange beasts, increase your strength, continue to kill strange beasts, and continue to increase your strength.

One word - kill!

Then Fang Xun saw those strange beasts that were tens or hundreds of feet tall and as big as hills, being hunted as game by the Qi and Blood warriors.

Everyone rushed to kill. The stronger the beast they killed, the more cultivation resources they could get.

As Fang Xun continued to move forward, his eyes swept across the murals.

Finally, when the Lieyang clan reached old age, like the Lieshan clan, they integrated everything they had into the Tianyin Mountain.

When Fang Xun saw this, he always felt that the Tianyin Mountain at this time seemed to be a little taller than the mural of the Lieshan clan.

But no matter what, the era of the second generation Human Emperor Lieyang's crazy killing came to an end.

The subsequent murals entered the era of the third generation of Human Emperor, Dong Tan, which was also the era when Qigong martial arts was born.

Compared with the murals of the previous two eras, Fang Xun felt that the murals of the Dong Tan era were much richer.

The birth of Zhenqi martial arts is a significant event in history and it has continued to this day. Qi and blood martial arts have declined, but Zhenqi martial arts remain prosperous.

Thanks to Lieyang clan’s crazy killing spree, the strong human beings are playing the game of elimination of exotic beasts all day long.

The exotic beasts that were once seen everywhere were directly sacrificed to their internal organs and became rare and precious animals.

The essence and blood of exotic beasts are the most important cultivation resources for the martial arts of qi and blood.

Now that resources are scarce, warriors from all over the world have begun to think of changing their circumstances.

Some people raise large numbers of livestock, intending to replace quality with quantity.

Some people turned their eyes to other warriors who were also human beings, which led to the origin of the Blood Demonic Path.

Others are trying to use other resources to replace the essence and blood of exotic beasts for cultivation.

Fang Xun saw that the mural focused on depicting a group of warriors who were trying to study how to absorb the turbid energy from the earth to refine their bodies and create a new system.

When he saw this, his heart moved, and he immediately had an impression when comparing it with the information of the current era.

"Is this the origin of the Disha martial arts of Miaojiang?"
