Peerless Immortal Venerable

Chapter 18 Xuefeng Night Talk
The Fourth Patriarch's patience seems to be not as long as the dwarf grass planted in front of his cave.That night, he dragged Fan Yi into his cave, and he began to teach Fan Yi his own kung fu—Splitting the Sky.

Cracking Heaven Jue is a kung fu created by the fourth patriarch alone more than 200 years ago. This heart formula can be said to be a self-contained system in the entire Kunlun Mountains. There is no senior master who has created a kung fu similar to him.

In the realm of self-cultivation, the Kunlun School pays more attention to the auxiliary role of magic tools in cultivation, so in comparison, Dazu's "Liangyi Yuwu Mantra" is the orthodox unique skill of the Kunlun School.As for the exercises of the Fourth Patriarch, it seems a bit slanted.

However, among the five ancestors, the exercises of the fourth ancestor are the most domineering and the most powerful.Being able to exert greater power without relying on magic tools is enough to prove the power of this technique.

Today's "Split Heaven Art" has five levels. It has been decades since the fourth ancestor reached the peak level of the fifth level, but because of the lack of understanding of the way of heaven, it has been a long time since he found a way to break through to the sixth level.

According to the prediction of the Fourth Patriarch, if the "Splitting Heaven Jue" breaks through two more layers, that is, reaches the seventh layer, he will be able to practice Dzogchen and surpass the realm of Tianxin.

It's just that the way of heaven is vast, and the more diligent you are, the more difficult it will be. If you want to break through the second level, there are not enough opportunities. How easy is it? !
In fact, not only the Fourth Patriarch, but also the Five Patriarchs of Kunlun are facing the same problem. They have created different exercises and different realms, but they have all encountered bottlenecks.

Decades ago, five people gathered together in Qianyuan Palace and fingerprinted each other, hoping to gain each other's comprehension of the way of heaven, master it, and make a breakthrough.

But the facts have proved that as early as when they first had a sense of the way of heaven, they were far behind by more than a tiny bit, and now that the five of them have reached the realm of cultivation, how can their respective experiences of the way of heaven be beyond description?

Different perceptions are of little benefit to each other.

Helpless, the five had no choice but to go back to their caves to meditate and practice, hoping that one day they would have a flash of inspiration and achieve a breakthrough.

More than ten years have passed, and the five of them still have difficulty making progress.

Fan Yi listened to the Fourth Patriarch explaining the essence of the "Split Heaven Art" for two days and two nights.During this period, the two neither ate nor rested.The Fourth Patriarch is the only one who can grow bigu long after he cultivated to his level, but Fan Yi didn't even break through to the spiritual realm. He was hungry for two days and two nights, and tired for two days and two nights. He did it entirely with his superhuman perseverance. .

The advanced Taoism of the other four senior brothers has nothing to do with him, and now Fan Yi only has a glimmer of hope for the fourth patriarch.Success or failure depends on one action, how can Fan Yi give up? !

Fortunately, the fourth patriarch was also a vigorous and resolute master. Seeing that Fan Yi listened seriously, he was very happy, but he didn't stop until he finished all the essentials.

Taking advantage of his clear mind, Fan Yi spent another day carefully sorting out the outline of the "Split Heaven Art" in his mind. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he just lay down on the ground and fell asleep with a headache. Before it landed, it started snoring loudly!

Looking at Fan Yi, whose nose was full of saliva after a short while, the Fourth Patriarch suddenly had more peaceful emotions in his eyes.Walking gently to his side, stretching out his hands, a cloak made of sable fur appeared in the hands of the Fourth Patriarch, then he covered Fan Yi lightly, and walked out silently.

…………

On the top of Tianzhu Mountain on the north side of the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, a figure suddenly appeared without any warning, let alone an old man who was already standing there.

"Fourth, what are you thinking?" The cold winter night wind seemed to be able to blow out ice slag at any time, but the old man who suddenly appeared in a thin long gown didn't feel the slightest, and said to the old man by the cliff with a smile.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and meditating was Fu Qingshan, the Fourth Patriarch of Kunlun who came out of his cave, and the third Patriarch Xi Qinghai who came later.

Without turning his head, the Fourth Patriarch Fu Qingshan looked straight ahead from a distance.After a while, he sighed leisurely, and his body was no longer as straight as before, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

"Oh, it's been so many years, and you still can't let go. At the beginning, Master said that you were the most talented among the six of us, but you... well, everyone has already left, can't you think about it for yourself? The senior brother mentioned it to me some time ago, he said that as long as you can forget the past, you will be the first one among the five of us to escape."

From Fu Qingshan's sigh, Third Patriarch Xi Qinghai guessed what his junior brother was thinking, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Some things can't be forgotten just by forgetting them. Third, you don't need to persuade me. You have been persuading me for hundreds of years, and you should know my temper." At this time, Fu Qingshan was completely out of his usual His free and easy appearance really looks like an ordinary old man.Hearing Xi Qinghai's words, he finally retracted his eyes from the dark north, turned around and said calmly.

Years of cold snow was blown up by the biting cold wind and fell again. The two old men stood opposite each other and fell silent.After a long time, the third ancestor finally broke the silence: "Brother, I was so angry with that kid a few days ago, did you bring him to your place today?"

"Well," nodded, Fu Qingshan also thought of Fan Yi who was sleeping on his back in his cave, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "He listened to me for two days, and he realized it for another day, and he just fell asleep. "

"Hehe, I can tell from the time he practiced the 'Nine Turns Clutching Heart Jue' that he is a very hardworking person, similar to when you first started, but you have much better aptitude than him." Smiling Looking at Fu Qingshan, Xi Qinghai's eyes were in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the memories of many years ago.

"You are young and ignorant, it's all about being brave enough to seek fame." Without being moved by the words of the third ancestor, Fu Qingshan commented on what he did when he was young: "I have a hunch that this kid's future achievements will definitely not be great. He will be lower than you and me. Perhaps, in the future, my Kunlun lineage will not necessarily rely on him."

"You... aren't you joking?" Looking at Fu Qingshan suspiciously, Xi Qinghai obviously felt that his words were a little too much: "Eldest brother proposed to do this at the beginning, and you and I knew why, but it was to return that one favor That's all. On Kunlun Mountain, there are probably no less than a dozen of them among the disciples of the Five Generations."

"There are some things that can't be explained by aptitude. That kid has enough opportunities and is diligent in this way. He will not fail to catch the encounter in front of him. In addition, I always feel that his luck is a little too good Shaking his head, Fu Qingshan couldn't help sighing in his heart when he thought of what he knew about Fan Yi since he came into contact with him. Sometimes, God bestows a person with an advantage, and when he gives him another kind of advantage that matches this advantage, he can't help but sigh in his heart. When he is capable, his future will definitely not be too bad.

"Maybe." He was noncommittal to Fu Qingshan's words, Xi Qinghai naturally changed the subject: "The second child intends to continue to be the patriarch, I feel uncomfortable!"

"I said, why are you running around in the middle of the night." Hearing this, he laughed, Fu Qingshan joked: "I knew you wouldn't be so good and came here to find me."

"Okay, there are five senior brothers. The second brother and I each took four disciples, the senior brother took three, and the fifth brother also took three. You are the laziest, and only took one..." See Fu Qingshan was in a better mood, and Xi Qinghai couldn't help complaining, but just after he finished saying this, he suddenly closed his mouth.

"Forget it, there's no need to hide this matter. If you want to blame it, you can only blame Changsong's bad luck, but he has reached the sky thunder realm in the past hundred years." His face darkened, and Fu Qingshan reluctantly waved his hand, It seemed to be dispelling the boredom lingering in my heart, and it seemed to be a helpless signal that I didn't mind anymore.

"Sigh. I don't know what's going on. For more than a hundred years, not only our Kunlun, it seems that no one in the East China Sea has successfully survived the catastrophe." Thinking of the sudden change of the sky for more than 100 years, Xi Qinghai sighed He took a deep breath: "Now there are two more of us who can't suppress the true energy in our bodies, and we are about to cross the catastrophe."

"Is there no other way?" Thinking of the purple sky thunders as thick as heavenly pillars, even if they were as strong as the Fourth Patriarch, they couldn't help shivering: "They don't want to destroy their cultivation?"

"Hundreds of years of penance, who is willing to give up once?" Shaking his head, Xi Qinghai's face was full of helplessness: "It's not something everyone can bear."

"Don't they know that the green hills are left without worrying about firewood? Has anyone successfully crossed the catastrophe in the past 100 years? Are they not afraid of death!" Suddenly a little excited, Fu Qingshan didn't expect that the disciples on Kunlun Mountain, one by one They are all so stubborn.

"Although there are no successful ones, there is one who is immortal." Eyes raised slightly, Xi Qinghai stared straight at Fu Qingshan.

"Even if he didn't die, his cultivation base was completely destroyed. What's the difference between this and being dead?!" Fu Qingshan became even more angry when he thought of his apprentice who failed to cross the tribulation and lost all his skills even though he didn't die. .This bullshit catastrophe, is it really going to continue like this? !

"If you let them destroy their cultivation, what's the difference with suicide?" Xi Qinghai looked at Fu Qingshan with a bitter smile, and said slowly.

"You..." Unexpectedly, he got into Xi Qinghai's trap, Fu Qingshan stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man in front of him, and remained silent for a while.

"Among the second-generation disciples, I don't think Changyu's disciple is the most suitable to be the master. I have to talk to the senior brother in a few days. Remember, say a few words for me when the time comes." Turning around, Third Patriarch Xi Qinghai diverted the topic away again. After saying this sentence, he did not see any movement, only a black shadow flashed, and he disappeared.

"Master?" Looking at the direction where Xi Qinghai left, Fu Qingshan whispered to himself, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he couldn't help but think in his heart, should that kid also experience it?
The corners of his mouth turned up again. If Fan Yi was there, he would definitely have goosebumps all over his body from this worldly smile. The last time we met in Qishan for the first time, I was almost crippled by his smile when I met him for the first time!
At last, he turned his head and glanced at the north, the fourth patriarch Fu Qingshan's eyes revealed a look of pain, which disappeared in an instant.Turning around, he carefully put the jade pendant that he had been holding tightly into his arms, then took a step forward, and jumped off the cliff!
