Becoming a Sage Starts From Condensing the Essence of Time

Chapter 63: Green Mountain Should Not Slumber In The Mortal World, Generations of Martial Chiefs Help Deduce the Five Animals

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside Lin’an Prefecture.

The Sixth Mountain.

In the pavilion halfway up the mountain, clouds curled up.

The spring wind blew, accompanied by the cold mountain air.

Two figures sat upright in the pavilion, their wide sleeves bulging as they played chess. The huge pine sword case was still placed beside the Sixth

Mountain Lord, and opposite him was the Legendary Top Scholar, Li You’an.

The two of them played back and forth, placing the black and white pieces on the chessboard.

Suddenly, the two of them sensed something and stopped playing.

The Sixth Mountain Lord looked at the pine sword case beside him. The sword qi in the case intertwined and collided with a clang. It cheered as if it was about to jump out.

Li You’an raised his hand, and the waning light turned into a sword, Thousand Degrees.

“Did you sense it? The sword qi in that bamboo sword.” The Sixth Mountain Lord asked.

The Sixth Mountain Lord slapped the sword case, and the sword in the case immediately fell silent.

He also nodded slightly. “It’s my life’s regret that I didn’t put Green Mountain into the case.”

Li You’an chuckled. “There are 3,000 swords hidden in your case. It’s said to have gathered all the mortal world. Green Mountain should not slumber in the mortal world. What regret do you have?”

The Sixth Mountain Lord glanced at him coolly. “My desire for Green Mountain is similar to a diner’s desire for delicacies.

The mysteries contained in the Bamboo Sword Green Mountain were fatally attractive to swordsmen.

Li You’an smiled and continued to play.

Zhao Huangting had held Green Mountain for 500 years, but he had yet to see through the mysteries of Green Mountain. How long had the young man held it before Green Mountain overflowed with sword qi? How could they be more favored by Green Mountain than that young man?

It was fate that the young man attracted the favor of Green Mountain.

In the pavilion.

The Sixth Mountain Lord also smiled coolly. He no longer hesitated and placed his piece down.

The mountain fog gradually thickened, and the sword qi that suddenly rose gradually disappeared without a trace.

The red strange stone was wrapped in dense linen chains and hung in the air between the two cliffs. The blood qi emitted from the stone was like a thick fog lingering and spreading in the mountains.

The sharp sword qi in the world still appeared, echoing the blood qi that burst out of the strange stone.

At this moment, An Le was already clear-headed. Unknowingly, he was already ten meters away from the Martial Chief Stone. Looking at the huge strange stone that was inches away from him, the blood mist around him transformed into blurry figures. They were either burly, domineering, or heroic. All kinds of auras kept attacking, messing up one’s mental power.

These blurry figures were Martial Chief phantoms that were within the blood essence of the Martial Chief Stone. They were formed by the wills of generations of Martial Chiefs.

Perhaps some Martial Chiefs had already died in the passage of time, but their wills were still stored in the Martial Chief Stone through their blood essence.

An Le’s mind was locked on the Sword Furnace in the Niwan Palace, not daring to release it at all.

The Martial Chief phantoms around him floated around and opened their mouths to speak. They argued intensely, as if they were giving pointers or correcting themselves.

At the same time, An Le’s figure was reflected in the strange stone. He was practicing the Five Animals Technique. However, as he practiced it, it gradually became very different from the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique he had learned.

It was as if under the guidance of the many blood-colored phantoms in the surroundings, an earth-shattering change had occurred.

First, it was the Tiger Form. A phenomenon actually appeared during the practice, as if it was not acting as a mortal tiger, but a ferocious demon tiger at the beginning of the ancient world. It roared and stars fell.

There was also the Bear Form. As Qi Blood evolved, phenomena appeared one after another. It was as if an ancient demonic bear was standing on one side. The world shook and could not be disturbed. Furious lightning struck down and remained immovable.

Similarly, the Deer Form, Ape Form, and Bird Form did not look like the Five

Animals evolved from watching beasts in the mortal world.

The mortal deer beast had evolved into an ancient deer demon. Its movements were like lightning behind the clouds, unreachable.

The monkey ape in the mortal world evolved into an ancient demon ape. When it moved, there seemed to be endless phantoms. With the mountains as the foundation, it leaped and teleported.

The bird of the mortal world evolved into an ancient immortal crane that soared into the sky like a divine sword unsheathed. The light was cold enough to cut through the sun and moon in the sky!

Heroic, magnificent, majestic, and domineering!

An Le was in a daze.

Were these still considered the Five Animals?!

The Five Animals Body Tempering Technique used the five beasts of the mortal world as the foundation and obtained their intent by looking at them.

But now, after receiving the guidance and deduction from the phantoms formed by the Qi Blood in the Martial Chief Stone, they were actually using the big ancient demon as a reference. Therefore, they could still be considered the Five Animals?

An Le originally felt that this was unreasonable. After all, looking at the ancient demon tiger, ferocious bear, deer demon, demon ape, and immortal crane… How could mortals see them?

However, when An Le thought of the Demon Tempering Treasure Jade hanging on his waist and the demons in this world, he felt that it made sense.

The Martial Chief big shots who appeared from these Martial Chief Stones might have really seen these greater demons and ferocious beasts before. They had even fought with them before to give such guidance and modifications to Body Tempering techniques!

In fact, An Le could even see the Martial Chief phantoms formed by the Qi Blood around him arguing intensely. They were just short of attacking.

After letting out a long exhale, his gaze landed on the scene reflected by the Martial Chief Stone. He followed the image of himself in the Martial Chief Stone and practiced the new Five Animals.

On the chains, the young man practiced martial arts. He first started with the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique and practiced it over and over again without knowing exhaustion. His body, which had just been baptized by the Green Mountain sword qi and Martial Chief Stone’s Qi Blood, emitted a rumbling sound of Qi Blood surging as if it echoed with the rapid river below!

Once, twice, thrice…

After adding 20 wisps of Age Qi, the [Thousand-year Genius] Dao Fruit erupted with an unprecedented strangeness, causing An Le to enter a mysterious state during the martial arts practice.

Gradually, it began to integrate into the new Five Animals taught by the Martial Chief phantoms. It looked at the intent of the demon beasts and fused into the technique.

As his fists and feet opened and closed, the ferocity and domineeringness of the ancient demon beasts were displayed.

On the Martial Chief Stone, traces of blood mist spread and lingered around An Let s body bit by bit. It was like scriptures were engraved on An Le’s body.

The sword qi converged and the Qi Blood Smoke gathered around the Martial Chief Stone.

However, the previous abnormality naturally attracted too much attention. The Primordial Spirits of powerful cultivators in Lin’an Residence left their bodies and traveled the sky to investigate with the spring breeze.

However, majestic Qi Blood burst forth in the Martial Temple as well. Figures rose into the sky step by step from the Crimson Jade Building of the Martial Temple.

Qi Blood coiled around their bodies like True Dragons, and their aura was as blazing as the sun.

These people were all Body Tempering experts in the Martial Temple. The Primordial Spirits of many cultivators in Lin’an Prefecture were forced back by such blazing sun Qi Blood before they could approach.

“This is the Martial Temple’s territory, leave!”

A cold shout sounded like a bell from the building in the Martial Temple and shook the surroundings.

Many cultivators’ Primordial Spirits felt the pressure and had no choice but to retreat. They floated outside the Martial Temple and did not dare to approach without permission.

The person who made this sound was one of the two Martial Chiefs of the current era guarding the Martial Temple.

Generations of Martial Chiefs naturally had different levels, but there were definitely no weaklings who could become Martial Chiefs.

In particular, the floating Primordial Spirits of the cultivators in the Literary Department sensed that there were two eyeballs in the Crimson Building that were like brilliant suns that looked straight at them and burned their Primordial Spirits.

As Spirit Refinement experts of the Literary Department, they had faced the Martial Temple for countless years. Now that the Martial Temple had produced the Qi Blood Smoke phenomenon, they naturally had to take a look.

However, they naturally did not dare to enter without permission after being stopped by the current generation Martial Chiefs. They could only float outside the Martial Temple and guess curiously.

At the edge of the cliff.

Everyone was silent. Ye Wenxi’s eyes lit up. Ye Chong, Zhong Shunchao, and the other ferocious generals of the Martial Temple felt an itch in their hearts and were filled with curiosity. They did not know what An Le had done to trigger such a phenomenon of the Martial Chief Stone.

“Although the Qi Blood has turned into mist, I can see that Young Master An has already stepped into a hundred-meter radius of the Martial Chief Stone…” Zhong Shunchao exhaled and let go of the black iron bow on his back.

“What a pity. Through the Qi Blood fog, I can vaguely see that Young Master An is practicing the Five Animals. He’s practicing his martial arts and using the

Martial Chief Stone to help sort it out. I don’t think he has obtained the Martial Chief Scripture.”

As the name suggested, the Martial Chief Scripture could allow one to directly reach the realm of the Martial Chief. Of course, although that was the case, cultivation still depended on one’s performance.

Ye Chong’s eyes were also filled with pity. “However, such a rich Martial Chief Stone Qi Blood can be considered an immense opportunity to use it to sort out one’s martial arts.”

“The Sword Qi that caused the Martial Chief Stone to emit the Qi Blood Smoke phenomenon might have been emitted from the Ink Pool Sword that contained the Little Sacred Token. Therefore, the will of the Sacred Teacher stimulated the spirit of the Martial Chief Stone?”

Ye Chong voiced out his guess. Zhong Shunchao was very agreeable to this, and he had the same thoughts.

Ye Wenxi smiled and didn’t say anything.

Was it really the Little Sacred Token?

She felt that that was not the case. Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she looked at the green-robed youth practicing the Five Animals in the blood mist with interest.

Suddenly, boundless Qi Blood intertwined at the edge of the cliff. A figure instantly appeared and stepped on the cliff, causing the entire slanting cliff to tremble.

“Chief Di.’

When Ye Chong and Zhong Shunchao saw who it was, they instantly became solemn and cupped their fists.

Ye Wenxi, Lin Zhuifeng, and the others didn’t dare to be disrespectful at all and also bowed.

“There’s no need to be so polite. The Martial Chief Stone is acting strangely. I sensed something and specially came to take a look.”

“The Primordial Spirits of those old fellows from the Literary Department have all been rejected by me outside the Martial Temple. After you leave the Martial Temple, don’t say anything else.”

The person was wearing armor and had a burly body. His horned dragon-like muscles were filled with pressure. There was a tattoo on his face and he looked slightly ferocious. His hidden blood qi was like a brilliant sun hanging in the sky.

“Yes.”

Everyone responded.

The Martial Chief raised his eyes and looked over. His gaze landed on the figure in front of the Martial Chief Stone. His gaze pierced through the layers of blood mist and saw the phantoms of the previous Martial Chiefs that had formed around him. He also saw the green-robed youth who was practicing the Five Animals in a trance.

He was not too interested in the martial arts that the young man was performing. He had only taken a look at it, but when he saw it, Martial Chief could not help but be stunned.

What… were these Five Animals?

The chains trembled, and force was squeezed out of the Spirit Bone. Qi Blood surged under the skin.

An Le’s entire body was dazzling as if there were scriptures engraved on it. Every word of the scripture changed with the flow of Qi Blood.

With the enhancement of the [Thousand-year Genius] Dao Fruit, An Le practiced the new version of the Five Animals.

Suddenly, it was as if an ancient bell had rung.

An Le finally finished practicing the modified Five Animals Body Tempering Technique. In his mind, information related to the scripture suddenly took shape.

At the same time, a light screen appeared in front of him. In the original skill mastery column, the “Five Animals Body Tempering Technique” had been replaced with a new scripture deduced by many Martial Chiefs: the Ancient Demon Five Animals Scripture..
