Chapter Eleven: Congealing Frost into a Seal, Merging the Three Realms with Mystery

  "Huh, his eyes...!"

  At some point, a person stood on the roof, a very young and handsome man. This man was the young man who appeared at the Qingyang Inn, he wanted to enter the Mangcang Mountain to collect medicine, entered this small village on the edge of the Mangcang Mountain, and unintentionally discovered that a black bear had come down from the mountain to forage, so he followed it.

  Of course, he is not a heroic guy who acts on justice. He has always done things based on his own likes and dislikes. Following the black bear was just an impulsive thought, wanting to see what kind of trouble it could stir up and alleviate some boredom during the journey. But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

  When the dog egg rushed towards the black bear, his mouth corner involuntarily twitched slightly, as if mocking the dog egg's overestimation. When the dog egg struggled to get up, he was extremely surprised - a three or four-year-old child who had suffered such severe injuries could still stand up, at least indicating that in terms of willpower, he was exceptional. So, when looking at the dog egg, his eyes showed a few hints of admiration, and he prepared to take action. Then, he saw the dog egg's eyes.

  The dog's eyes were blazing, with a thick layer of blood color floating in his pupils, the blood color was very thick, like the red glow of sunset on the horizon, yet also like transparent red jade. In the depths of the blood color, the dark pupils seemed even more profound, and around the edges of the pupils, there was a faint, almost imperceptible black ring, giving off an air of mystery and otherworldliness.

  "It seems to be the legendary eyes, isn't it said that bloodline has been extinct? How can it appear here? Hmm, this kid seems to know martial arts too, internal energy is very shallow and messy, but still counts as having some, so let me see, what kind of ability does a person with legendary eyes have?"

  The young man slowly withdrew his right index finger, which had already been raised, and looked at the dog egg that was standing up and swaying on the spot, as well as the black bear that was pouncing towards him.

  "Kid, don't disappoint me, or else I might just kill everyone here, hehehehe!" The young man smiled, his smile spreading a chill in the air.

  The black bear was very fast and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to Dog Egg's face, swung its huge bear paw, and slapped Dog Egg.

  It was so fast, the distance was so short, and everyone present, whether it was Zhou Hua'er or her parents-in-law, covered their eyes when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe that Dog Egg could still escape unscathed in such a situation.

  If it were in normal times, Dog Egg would definitely not be able to escape this calamity. However, just as the bear's palm was about to hit Dog Egg's head, his body lightly twisted and rolled on the ground, avoiding this fatal blow by a hair's breadth. A pair of strange eyes flashed with an unusual glow.

  At this critical moment, he suddenly saw it, and what he saw was a world so different from the past.

  The whole world slowed down in his eyes, just like slow motion on a TV screen. He could even see the black bear's paw slowly approaching his head, very slowly, and he could easily dodge it.

  So, he lightly twisted his body and dodged to the side. Taking advantage of the momentum, he rolled over and unexpectedly rolled to the edge of the axe he had dropped earlier. With a swift motion, he grabbed the axe into his hand.

  One strike missed, the black bear became even more enraged, let out a roar, and slapped another palm at Dog Egg.

  Opportunity!

  As the black bear's massive paw approached, Dog Egg suddenly had an idea. He rolled his body and slipped onto the bear's palm again, tightly grasping the hatchet in his hand, which he thrust forward with a fierce motion during the roll.

  That black bear was opening its mouth to roar, completely unaware that Dog Egg would suddenly send the axe in his hand over. Without dodging, it was struck by Dog Egg's one knife, which was inserted into its mouth. This one knife, Dog Egg had used all his strength from head to toe, and the axe deeply pierced the black bear's throat.

  One sword pierced through, and Dog Egg's entire body strength was drained, he could only make a rolling motion, and then, he fell to one side, unconscious.

  "Dog egg...!" Zhou Hua'er shouted out loud, her cry was very short, and then she felt a severe pain in her abdomen.

  "Bad luck, bad luck! I'm actually going to have a kid!"

  The young man standing on the rooftop saw Zhou Hua's appearance, and his face was all twisted up. He flashed his body and disappeared from the rooftop. Almost at the same time, a group of people rushed into the courtyard door, who were villagers rushing to the scene after hearing the cries in the yard, just like American police in later TV shows, arriving late.

  ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

  "What is this place and why am I here?!"

  The dog egg was sore all over, wanting to move, but couldn't move no matter what. It felt like something had tied up its hands and feet, but it felt that its consciousness was still very clear, at least that's how it felt itself.

  "It seems like... no, wait, this feeling, I think I'm having a nightmare?!"

  Soon, Dog Egg felt that something was wrong. This feeling he often encountered in his past life was a nightmare. For ordinary people, the experience of nightmares may be rare, but Dog Egg often experienced such things because his heart was not good in his past life, so he often had nightmares, especially during afternoon naps, and was often pressed by ghosts.

  So, he wasn't nervous at all, but instead felt a deep sense of unease in his heart, thinking to himself, "Could it be that my heart isn't good this lifetime either, or was it damaged by the black bear's slap just now, and I'm starting to relive the nightmares of my past life again?! What's going on... with my meridians?!"

  Soon, Dog Egg discovered the difference between this nightmare and his past ones. In the past, although he was very "clear" in consciousness, what he saw and heard were very vague. Now, what he saw was exceptionally clear, to the point where he could clearly distinguish every meridian, every bone, and the internal energy that was rampaging inside his body.

  "This is Qigong of Great Strength and Firmness!"

  Gou Danzi was silently thinking in his heart, the route of internal energy circulation was indeed the Great Strength Golden Gong, before, he could only feel a thin stream of heat flowing through the meridians in his body, and didn't think there was any problem, now, he saw all the meridians in his body and the internal energy running through them.

  This is really quite different from what he imagined.

  Originally, in his imagination, Daliqin Gangqi Gong, although it was only the most superficial one used for military popularization of internal work, could cultivate internal energy and at least had some doorways. Now it seems that this doorway is not deep enough either.

  The internal energy of Dali Jin Gang Qigong is very thin, and after practicing for half a year, it's about the size of a baby's little thumb. This is tolerable since he hasn't practiced for long, but apart from being thin, it's also extremely irregular. It looks like a thin, unevenly pinched noodle, similar to a white worm crawling in his meridians, which aren't worth praising either.

  Before practicing internal energy, Wang Tianlei once envied him and said that he was still young and his meridians had not been completely closed, so when cultivating internal energy, it would be twice the result with half the effort, and his starting point would be much faster than someone in their teens like him. At that time, Gou Danzi was very happy, who doesn't love to hear flattering words?

  Now that he had truly seen his own meridians, Dog Egg finally understood that what Wang Tianlei said was not entirely correct. Apart from the simple meridians through which the internal energy of the Great Strength Golden Gong had to pass, other meridians were also blocked to varying degrees, and it was not as unobstructed as he had imagined.

  "Is this what they call insight?!"

  The dog egg child is oblivious to his own meridian blockage, and even if he sees it, there's no good way to change it. The unblocked meridians are those where the internal energy of the mighty diamond qigong can flow freely. In comparison, the route that the internal energy of the "Lihuo Heart Method" takes is three to four times that of the mighty diamond qigong. However, he hasn't practiced it yet, and he believes that after cultivating the Lihuo Heart Method, those other meridians will also become unblocked. Of course, these are all future matters; for now, the top priority is figuring out why he's in this state - suddenly able to introspect?

  Is it an illusion? Or am I just dreaming?

  ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

  "That kid shouldn't have died!" In the midst of the vast and majestic mountains, a young man appeared in front of Wang Tianlei's house, walking step by step towards the mountain top, his smile on his face revealing a hint of resentment. "That one knife was perfect, the timing and speed were impeccable, even an old master who has practiced knife skills for over a decade may not be able to achieve that under those circumstances. At his age, even if he really had a flash of inspiration, it's impossible to do that. His small body, in order to unleash the power of that one knife, must have perfectly combined all the limited internal energy and muscle strength throughout his body, that was the credit of his eyes!"

  Thinking of Gou Danzi's eyes with red pupils and black waves, the young man's facial muscles twitched slightly. "The extinct bloodline? If I take him to the mountain, what will those old guys do? The old man won't be happy, right? Hmm, shouldn't be, maybe he'll even be secretly killed by the three families' old guys, just like they wanted to kill Yun Shan back then, haha, who knows, they seem to want to get rid of me too!

  The cold wind grew stronger, cutting like a knife as it howled, but it couldn't stop his footsteps. About a foot away from the young man's body, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that blocked the wind, causing it to slide to either side. At this moment, anyone with keen eyesight would surely exclaim in surprise.

  Protective Aura!

  This is a protective aura, only those who have reached the seventh rank or higher are qualified to condense and refine this protective aura.

  Seven-grade master?!!

  How many of these are there in this world?

  Throughout the entire Jin Dynasty, with a population of tens of billions, the number of seventh-grade masters was only around a hundred or so. Yet now, in this desolate and remote Mount Mang, one has appeared, and at such a young age!

  At this age, it's just a twenty-something appearance. Although the martial arts cultivation has reached a high level and has a great anti-aging effect, this effect can only be maintained during the period of successful cultivation. For example, if you achieve success at 40 years old, your looks will remain at 40 years old; if you achieve success at 50 years old, your looks will remain at 50 years old. It's never heard that someone who achieved success at 40 years old suddenly became a twenty-something overnight. This is impossible unless your strength exceeds the ninth rank and reaches the legendary Tongxuan Secret Realm.

  Mysterious and Abstruse Realm

  The martial arts of this world emphasize both internal and external cultivation, which is divided into three realms: practicing the skin, tempering the bones, and transforming the tendons. These are known as the Three Realms, and within them, there are nine ranks.

  The lower three ranks are the Leather Belt Division, the middle three ranks are the Bone Forging Division, and the upper three ranks are the Muscle Changing Division.

  When cultivated to the top three levels, it is what people often call copper skin, iron bones, and steel tendons. Above these nine levels lies the Mysterious Void Realm.

  Beyond the Three Realms is the Secret Realm of Tongxuan.

  It is said that among the elders of the largest sects in the world, there will be old monsters with Tongxuan Secret Realm, but no one has ever seen them, so Tongxuan Secret Realm is only a legend in the world.

  This young man's appearance was only about twenty years old, but he could release a one-foot protective aura. The protective aura is a sign that the cultivation has reached the seventh grade, which means that he is at least a seventh-grade master. So, there are only two possibilities: one is that this young man is indeed over twenty years old and his cultivation has reached the seventh grade; another possibility is that this guy is an old freak who has greatly increased the activity of cells in his body and rejuvenated himself. Both possibilities are enough to show his extraordinariness.

  "Hmm, what's this sound, how can it be so strange?!"

  A faint howling and scolding sound wove together, carried by the cold wind from afar, falling into the young person's ears.

  "It seems like there's something fun going on in the west!" The young man slowly pursed his lips, and his body lightly moved, drifting away like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, towards the western mountain direction.
