Chapter 62: Escapism

  There are many escape techniques in the cultivation world!

  Each door and each faction also has its own unique escape method.

  Every cultivator also has their own escape technique.

  For example, Kong Rong's Earth Escape Technique.

  Escape, what is escape?

  In Chinese, the character "遁" is often preceded by the character "逃".

  Escape.

  In short, it means running away.

  What's the point of running away?

  This is hard to say clearly.

  Escapology is actually the art of running away.

  This is an art.

  Art is fleeting, a flash in the pan. Therefore, the escape method of cultivators has great limitations compared to the skill of riding a sword for ten thousand miles.

  Don't look at Kong Zhong as a pure earth-type body, using the earth to escape is as convenient as walking on the road, in fact, he can't walk very far.

  Escape method, in essence, is reflected in a single word "escape".

  That is to escape.

  Escape method, is running away.

  What should be paid attention to when escaping?

  First, don't get caught; second, be fast enough.

  These two points are the essence of all escape techniques and the whole of escape techniques.

  Kong Cong's Earth Escape can escape thousands of miles away in an extremely short period of time. This extremely short period is relative, depending on the situation, but at most it takes only a cup of tea to escape thousands of miles away.

  A thousand miles away is also the limit of ordinary escape techniques.

  Compared to the flying sword technique, the teleportation technique is a bit faster. Some advanced teleportation techniques are much faster than flying with a sword, but they also have a weakness, which is that they cannot be sustained for long periods of time.

  The Escaping Method is, in essence, a technique that combines one's own cultivation with the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Once this technique is employed, not only is it extremely fast, but it also cannot be captured, because when the cultivator uses the Escaping Method, they have already merged with the primordial energy of heaven and earth as one entity. Only a truly great divine being or the highest level of treasure, array, or talisman would have any possibility of restricting this technique.

  Therefore, escape techniques are a required course for all practitioners and a must-teach skill for every school.

  No matter which sect, they all teach how to use the yuan force of various attributes between heaven and earth to cast spells, and how to choose their own most skilled spell according to their own conditions. However, none of the spell secrets have ever touched anything at a deeper level, the principle of the spell.

  Some are just the methods of application, while Fang Yue'er got a beast skin volume that records the deepest principles of escape techniques in ancient tadpole script.

  Heaven knows what era it was left behind, anyway, Fang Yue got it, and then, under the mysterious and wonderful heavenly will, Kong Zhuo also gained great benefits.

  Of course, at this time, Kong Zhuang's mind was not thinking about any kind of escape method, but the warm and intimate feeling when his hand touched Fang Yue'er.

  It feels great.

  ……………

  …………

  A faint humming noise in the sky made Kong Zuo furrow his brow just as he had finished setting up his new thatched hut.

  Flying Sword and Traveling Book!

  The most commonly used means of communication in the cultivation world.

  Then with a light move, he put away the sword's glow into his hand.

  Asura Sword Li Yuanhua let him go back.

  The letter was brief and conveyed two messages: first, the matter had been settled; second, hurry back to the mountain, for the Dragon Platform Immortal Peaches Assembly is about to be convened!

  A once-in-a-century apricot fairy assembly!

  Two gates and three sects, one valley, Emei is the first.

  What is it based on?

  It was those three sacred apricot trees on Longtai Peak behind Mount Emei!

  It is said that these three immortal apricot trees were the only remaining fairy products when Honghuang was broken, with unparalleled magical effects. Practitioners who eat one can increase their cultivation by thousands of years.

  Although Kong Zhan always thought this was an exaggerated statement, he had to admit that among the various spiritual flowers and grasses in this land, the Xian Xing's function was indeed the most stable.

  In fact, the persimmons that have been picked are not for you to eat casually, they are used for medicinal purposes.

  The top ten spiritual elixirs in the cultivation world all contain the ingredient of immortal apricot, which is an essential component for making spiritual elixirs. This is why it's so precious and valuable.

  And this precious resource is in the hands of Emei School, so it's natural that Emei School stands out from the crowd.

  The immortal apricot bears fruit once every hundred years, with each tree yielding four to five apricots. Every hundred years, twelve to fifteen apricots can be obtained. The leader of the Emei sect is also a wise person and naturally knows that such things cannot be monopolized. While they eat meat, they also consider other people's feelings and let others drink the soup as well. Otherwise, even if the power of Emei were to increase tenfold, it would have been destroyed long ago.

  Thus, there is this Longtai Xianxing Conference which takes place once every hundred years.

  The main purpose of the Longtai Xianxing Conference is to dispatch Xianxing, and when Kong Zhuo first heard the story of the Longtai Xianxing Conference, he admired the Emei School's predecessors who established this conference.

  As mentioned earlier, if it weren't for the Xianxu Association, the Emei Sect would have been destroyed by those greedy and power-hungry sects countless times. The establishment of the Xianxu Association not only gave other sects a glimmer of hope but also made all the cultivation sects owe them a favor, achieving two goals with one move, which in turn elevated Emei's status to an unprecedented height, giving rise to the reputation as the number one cultivation sect.

  The initial few sessions of the Xianhui were very straightforward, focusing on the issue of how to distribute the Xianhui. However, as time passed, the Longtai Xianhui was given more meaning and slowly evolved into a grand gathering for cultivators to exchange emotions, hone their skills, share information, and form alliances.

  And in this grand occasion, what people pay most attention to is the cutting skills of various schools.

  In order to avoid hurting the feelings of various factions, such competitions are carried out among third-generation disciples. The winning faction will gain the greatest benefit, which is the right to distribute Xianya, second only to Emei.

  This has also become the most eye-catching game in the cultivation world.

  So, Li Yuanhua wanted to summon Kong Zhuo back. According to the rules, each sect can only send three third-generation disciples to participate, and these three third-generation disciples should naturally be the most outstanding three third-generation disciples in their own sect. And Kong Zhuo was naturally one of Luo Fu's candidates.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  It seems that I have to go to Nantong for a meeting this afternoon, and after that, I won't be able to get online. So, I'll update two chapters this morning. Tomorrow is uncertain whether I can return or not. If I don't come back, I will update another two chapters the day after tomorrow!

  Damn it, meeting after meeting, just going to receive tasks, so annoying!
