Chapter 916 Ancient Saint

Lao Ban said in a solemn tone: "Just a few days ago, probably a month ago, an adventure team discovered a mysterious place in the Tianshan Mountains that had never been discovered before. They were two cliffs separated by ten meters. In Zhanyuan, there is a long iron chain between the two cliffs. You need to step on the iron chain to get across. This kind of picture can only be seen in movies, TV series or martial arts novels. The adventure team was curious and took a photo , and posted it online after leaving. This news was also accidentally seen by our national security department. At that time, I thought it was worth taking a look, so I sent a special team to check it out and crossed the chain bridge. A total of eight people were sent to the special team, six of whom had reached the dark strength stage, and one had reached the transformation stage. As a result, except for the two who were in the dark strength stage because their steps were slower, the other six people all fell into a formation. , these six people all died in the formation, and even the bodies couldn’t be brought back for burial because the living people didn’t dare to go in.”

Xiao Bing took a breath, not to mention scared, but just feeling heartache. For a formation that can kill six Houtian realms, the strongest one among these six people is only in the energy transformation stage, and they can't break the formation. , does not mean that he cannot break the formation, and Xiao Bing is not only a thousand times stronger than those six people, Xiao Bing also studied the formation. Xiao Bing gained his life-long experience from Han Huabin, This includes not only illusions, but also formations. Xiao Bing has been studying them carefully in the past two years. With Xiao Bing's current level and talent, I dare not say that he can learn everything at a glance, but his comprehension ability is basically that of ordinary people. Several times or even ten times or twenty times.

Xiao Bing thinks that he is now a master of illusion and formation, so fear is far out of the question. The reason why he is heartbroken is because Xiao Bing was originally a special soldier, so no matter whether he knows these special soldiers, Or even if they don't know each other, Xiao Bing will always treat him as one of his relatives.

Xiao Bing sighed and said, "You really shouldn't have sent those special forces. You might as well just call me."

"We didn't know that at the time. We just wanted to send a few people over to check the situation. Unexpectedly, nothing was found. Six people had already died. The other two people had to escape. And according to the two people who escaped, From my personal description, what killed six special forces was a very powerful sword formation, and that sword formation was filled with flying swords."

Xiao Bing was surprised and said: "Flying sword?"

"Yes." Lao Ban sighed and said, "After learning about this situation, I started to check some files, including some top-secret information from decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years ago, and finally finally I found out that the sword formation should be the famous Tianshan Sword Formation in history."

"Tianshan Sword Formation?"

"It is rumored that about four hundred years ago, there was an old man from Tianshan Mountain who was known as the world's best master. He once assisted Yuan Chonghuan of the Ming Dynasty to kill the Manchu cavalry by throwing off their armor and removing their armor, and single-handedly defeated the general. The head was like picking something out of a bag, and the entire Qing Dynasty felt frightened when they heard the name of the old man from Tianshan. Later, the Qing Dynasty set up a trap. Dozens of innate masters besieged the old man from Tianshan, including two strong men who broke the void and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Master, the Manchu Imperial Master has even reached the realm of Heavenly Master."

Xiao Bing was dumbfounded. One Tianzun strongman, two Breaking the Void, and dozens of strong men who had also reached the innate realm. Such a combination could basically sweep thousands of troops, and so many people gathered together Together, they set a trap just for the sake of the old man Tianshan. Even the noble and powerful Tianzun has put down his face and used such despicable methods, which shows how powerful the old man Tianshan must be.

"Even though the era was still an era when martial arts was very prosperous, the super strong people in the Tianzun realm were definitely the most powerful overlords in the land of China. Even the imperial court had to support those who reached this level. , did not dare to provoke easily, but as a result, such a combination of dozens of innate masters, led by the Manchu Imperial Master in the Tianzun realm, was almost killed by the old man of Tianshan, including two strong ones who broke the void and died before him. Under the sword, only the Manchu Imperial Preceptor and a few people escaped, and the Imperial Preceptor was seriously injured."

Alone, he faced the siege of dozens of innate masters. Among them, most of the masters from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties gathered together, but they were almost killed by the old man of Tianshan. If it weren't for the Manchu and Qing imperial masters and those who escaped Soon, he may die by the sword. Xiao Bing's blood boils just thinking about it. Xiao Bing feels fascinated by that peerless grace.

Then Xiao Bing thought of a question and asked: "Lao Ban, since the old man of Tianshan is so powerful and he is here to guard the country of the Ming Dynasty, why did the Ming Dynasty still lose?"

Lao Ban shook his head and sighed: "The strong will be the strong after all. If the Ming Dynasty worked hard and had clear politics, maybe even if it is temporarily weak, relying on peerless strong men like Tianshan Old Man, it can still support it for a few more years, but It happened that the emperor at that time was a man who was determined to govern, but he was a man with great ambition and talent. You have also learned from history. He was afraid of Yuan Chonghuan, so he cut off his own arm. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, and was finally conquered by the Manchus. It was captured. Of course, there is another thing that is not recorded in history.”

Xiao Bing asked: "What happened?"

"The reason why Yuan Chonghuan was hated by the Ming Dynasty emperor at that time was partly because the Manchus used alienation tactics. On the other hand, the person Tianshan old man admired the most at that time was Yuan Chonghuan. He had a particularly good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan. You know, Tianshan old man like this An expert is worth tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan himself has a large number of soldiers, which makes the Ming Dynasty emperor even more worried about him. In the end, Yuan Chonghuan was killed, and the old man of Tianshan was disheartened. There was no news. At that time, many people said that he had returned to Tianshan, but no one went to see him. After the Manchus conquered the country, they did not dare to provoke him. Since the old man of Tianshan could not come out, the Manchus naturally Even more unhappy, since then, the name of the Tianshan old man has gradually become no longer known."

Laoban said: "Yuan Chonghuan is indeed a god in military use, but at that time everyone only knew about Yuan Chonghuan, and there was no record of the Tianshan Old Man in history. Only the real core of national power would record this secret. According to the Manchu Imperial Master After escaping back, he told the people around him that the strength of the Tianshan old man should have reached the legendary saint realm, and the Manchu Imperial Master was already at the peak of Tianzun at that time. Of these two people, one was the strongest representative of force in the Ming Dynasty, One is the strongest representative of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, basically representing the two most powerful men in China at that time." Xiao Bing exhaled a long breath, with a look of fascination in his eyes, and felt his blood boiling. This is what he wants. In terms of martial arts, Xiao Bing suddenly grew endless ambition deep in his heart.

Laoban said: "At that time, the old man Tianshan was already more than a hundred years old, and his strength should have just reached the realm of a saint. Otherwise, the Manchu Imperial Master would not have been allowed to escape. According to later generations' speculation, the old man Tianshan was living in seclusion. After that, he should stop at the saint level. According to his age, he may not have enough time to sprint to the god level. But the saint level is already shocking, and can even sweep the world. In the past thousand years, , even for thousands of years, the god-level powerhouses have long been extinct. After the gods and demons were sealed into another world, the god-level powerhouses in human society gradually disappeared. Even the saint-level powerhouses in China There are very few of them in thousands of years of history.”

"Before the Old Man of Tianshan, the strength of Wudang Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng in the early Ming Dynasty was also at the saint level. In addition, there was the 'Sword Master' Gai Nie in the late Warring States Period, and the 'White Ape Patriarch' Situ Xuankong in the early Warring States Period. Their The strength has reached the realm of saints. From the Warring States Period to the present, there is a history of more than 4,000 years. The number of people who have reached the realm of saints can be counted on one hand. It takes almost a thousand years for one to appear, and after the early Qing Dynasty until now It has been more than three hundred years, and in these three hundred years, I have not even heard of anyone whose strength has reached the realm of a saint, which shows how rare the realm of a saint is."

"The realm of Tianzun is already the limit that human beings can reach. In the eyes of governments of various countries, the divine level is no longer a realm that humans can touch. The advent of the technological age and the disappearance of martial arts have already doomed the gods. The level has become an impossible existence, so in our eyes, the god level is no longer there, and the saints are like gods."

Xiao Bing's eyes were a little hot and he said: "In this case, where the old man of Tianshan once lived, there may be some secret of the cultivation of Breaking the Void. This is something that almost everyone must fight for."

"That's right." Lao Ban said, "But according to the two special forces who escaped back, that mountain range was covered with heavy fog all day long. They had observed it for a long time, and even asked people who lived almost at the foot of Tianshan Mountain for advice. , and finally I learned that the heavy fog would dissipate on the 15th day of each lunar calendar, and then the heavy fog would fill in again during the lunar calendar period of each month."

Xiao Bing did the math and said, "That means there are only two days a month without fog?"

"Yes, according to this time, the fog will lift in two days, and I don't know who leaked this news, or it may be that other countries happened to detect this matter. In recent days, Tianshan More strong men began to appear at my feet. I thought about it for a moment. If the Tianshan old man really left behind any experience of lifelong cultivation or some treasure, it must be snatched up by people from China, otherwise it will be stolen by people from other countries. If you snatch it away, I'm afraid that other countries won't share it with us, China. Originally, I planned to send the Dragon Tooth Team to carry out this mission, but then I thought about it, you are stronger and your Dragon Gate is stronger, so why not just hand it over? I’ll give you the dragon gate, do you think it’s okay?”

Xiao Bing's eyes were hot and he said without hesitation: "No problem!"
