Undercurrents II
All Three Voids refer to self-adjustment and coordination.
Therefore, there are no other minor realm divisions.
But the more peculiar and ambiguous the division, the more elusive and unpredictable it becomes.
Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
A cool current of air appeared out of nowhere, spreading throughout the body and clearing away all the blockages and obstructions.
In just a few dozen breaths, he felt an unprecedented sense of freedom throughout his body, as if he could control every part of his body as if it were an extension of his own arm.
Even the hair seemed to be slightly controlled by perception.
The whole body is integrated into one point.
"."
"."
Di Jiang and Ostandin, who were waiting outside, looked blankly at Zhang Rongfang's rapidly changing demeanor.
"This kid has the style I had back in the day." It took Di Jiang a long time to finally squeeze out this sentence.
"You're absolutely right, sir," Ostandin said with a forced smile.
In about ten days, he watched Zhang Rongfang progress from the Internal Method to the perfection of the Three Voids and was about to step into the grandmaster realm.
All that's missing is the will to strengthen oneself. This speed is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. With this, how dare Di Jiang say he's the same as me? As expected of an Extreme Realm expert, his shamelessness alone is beyond my reach.
Soon, Zhang Rongfang got up again.
His health points remained unchanged in his Attribute Panel.
But he felt different. Immediately, Zhang Rongfang looked at Ostandin.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
He raised his hand, assuming the starting stance of the Great Dao Sect Talisman Art.
"Then let's do it again." Ostandin took a deep breath.
With a whoosh, the two vanished from their spot, and the ground collapsed in two places.
The two illusory figures clashed fists and feet, producing a loud bang.
After the gap in the Enemy Anticipation gradually narrowed to a smaller generational difference.
As Zhang Rongfang's martial arts level improved, his grasp of his own martial arts became increasingly precise, with fewer and fewer flaws, and his reactions became faster and faster.
Although it hasn't yet crossed the threshold of Grandmaster, which represents a significant improvement.
However, thanks to his superior physical abilities, he can now unleash the Blood Lotus and fight against Ostandin's Final Form for a while.
They play from morning until lunchtime, then continue playing after lunch until evening.
Zhang Rongfang seemed tireless, relentlessly exploiting Ostandin.
I will continue to learn everything I can from him.
Every time he was defeated and routed.
The injuries didn't matter at all; the first thing he did was ask himself why he had been defeated.
Then think about how to fix this flaw.
During this time, Di Jiang would occasionally offer his advice.
Under the guidance of a Great Grandmaster and an Extreme Realm expert.
Zhang Rongfang's understanding of martial arts progressed by leaps and bounds, as if he were on drugs.
For others, even after gaining a thorough understanding, it still takes time to accumulate knowledge, then arduous practice and self-improvement to achieve a breakthrough.
But for him, once he understands it thoroughly and knows how to cultivate himself and how to move forward, that's all that matters.
You can use Attribute Points to level up!
Time passed day by day.
Zhang Rongfang's martial arts experience, as well as his understanding and knowledge of various martial arts, are rapidly improving.
He was already proficient in many martial arts, and his understanding of these arts was much deeper than that of ordinary martial artists.
After being enlightened by Di Jiang and Ostandin, many things suddenly connected, and he gradually began to form his own unique Martial Arts System theory.
*** Yi Province, Zel Dan City.
As the third largest city in the entire Yi Province, Zeldan was once considered to serve as the Prefectural City.
However, due to interference from religious forces at the time, he ultimately failed to be elected.
Now, it has been personally overseen by Chen Yiche, the Grandmaster of the Jade Void Palace of the Great Dao Sect, who is sweeping away the miscellaneous forces and making it a thorn in the side of stabilizing the entire Yi Province.
In the current situation of the Five Kings vying for power, a situation has gradually formed in which the top forces of many provinces have gathered in Great Capital Upper Capital, and a few other places have clashed.
Conversely, once the power is gathered, the power in other areas becomes much weaker.
Therefore, after a large number of high-level forces left, many areas of Great Ling have become power vacuums.
Zeerdan is an example of this.
At this moment, Chen Yiche sat atop the tallest pagoda in the city, his brows furrowed, overlooking the city's twinkling lights at night.
He sensed something was wrong.
For some reason, ever since leaving Jade Void Palace, spreading martial arts throughout the world, cooperating with the Great Dao Sect's grand strategy, and occupying religious districts...
He had been somewhat restless ever since.
And recently, this feeling has become even stronger.
If before it was just a slight ripple on the lake's surface, now it's a raging storm, with the lake waters churning.
"Where exactly did things go wrong? Now that the Dust Sand Palace, the biggest cancer in the Teaching Alliance, has been dismantled, the Grand Master and the Palace Master are hunting down the fugitive Teaching Alliance leader Kexiwo. In this world, what can still threaten our power?"
Chen Yiche frowned, his thoughts racing.
At the level of a grandmaster, one will have a special reaction and perception to even the slightest abnormality in oneself.
"Actually, your feeling is correct."
Suddenly, a Qingyou voice came from behind him.
Chen Yiche suddenly jolted and turned around to look.
Behind him, on the sloping top of the same pagoda, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.
The man was dressed in a black gauze robe, had a robust build, and his long hair danced in the night wind, revealing a pair of exceptionally clear and pure eyes.
Like a black gemstone radiating starlight in the night.
"Who are you?!" Chen Yiche's alertness was at its highest.
To be able to get behind him silently, the other party was no ordinary person! "I came here on my master's orders. Since you are so ruthless, then don't blame us for doing the same," the newcomer said calmly.
"You are... Dust Sand Palace?!"
Chen Yiche suddenly realized what was happening, and his whole body swelled up and grew larger. Silver Patterns appeared on his body surface, and a new eye seemed to be about to emerge and open between his brows.
Since it's war, where is there a battle without casualties?
From the beginning, the counterattack of the Dust Sand Palace was expected.
The Grand Master and his men launched a swift attack in order to reduce the casualties caused by such a counterattack.
However, the masters of the Dust Sand Palace were all recorded and were not nearby; they were being hunted down by the Snow Rainbow Pavilion and other masters.
How did this person even appear out of nowhere?! Chen Yiche had no idea.
Bang!
A series of huge explosions erupted from the top of the pagoda.
Not long after.
A corpse was struck down heavily from a height.
While still in mid-air, the corpse turned into black ash and scattered.
Only Chen Yiche's tattered clothes remained, scattered on the ground.
Grandmaster Chen Yiche of the Jade Void Palace has died.
At the top of the tower, the Black Veil Man glanced silently down, then turned and leaped away into the moonlight.
***Two days later.
Heavenly Sincerity Palace.
One by one, the Great Grandmaster of the Jade Void Palace sat cross-legged, their expressions solemn behind Jin Yuyan.
Opposite them sat Yue Dewen alone, quietly cross-legged.
"Starting the night before last, the Grandmasters of our Twelve Clan Estates stationed in various locations were all attacked. The attackers claimed to be disciples of the leader of the Dust Sand Palace, named Yue Hongdie."
"But before this, no one had ever heard of this name." Qian Gong, who ranked second among the Twelve Clan Estates, said solemnly.
"Three grandmasters died in just two days, without even having time to escape. The intelligence personnel from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion provided a facial and physical sketch of the murderer."
He spoke sternly, staring at Yue Dewen across from him.
"Yue Sect Leader that the number of Grandmasters in the Twelve Clan Estates of my Jade Void Palace is so small, and each one of them is a precious asset that we have painstakingly cultivated! And now, they have died without any explanation!"
"It's not as you think." Yue Dewen shook his head. "The portrait is wrong."
"Why is that wrong? Your old friends now hold power in the Snow Rainbow Pavilion. Do you think they would dare to deceive you?" Qian Gong said coldly.
Of the Twelve Clan Estates of the Jade Void Palace, ten Great Grandmaster came this time, leaving only two—one openly and one secretly—to guard their respective headquarters.
Of the three masters who were lost, one was Qian Gong's own nephew.
His own nephew, whom he personally mentored back then!
That was the foundation of the Qian Clan! And now they've died without any explanation.
"Our Song Clan also has a Grandmaster who has been killed. If Yue Sect Leader does not take action soon, we are afraid we will not be able to cooperate with your overall plan. Our family is small and our strength is limited. We dare not send our younger generation out to bear danger."
"The third-ranked Prefecture Lord Song Yizhe said in a deep voice."
There are indeed many Grandmasters in the Jade Void Palace, totaling more than twenty.
The problem is that when these twenty-odd people are distributed among each household, each of the Twelve Clan Estates only has two or three people.
Some even have only one grandmaster.
The loss of a Grandmaster is nothing to the entire Jade Void Palace, but it is a huge loss for a single branch of the sect.
"You should have been aware of this before leaving Jade Void Palace," Yue Dewen replied softly.
"This is war, not a friendly exchange."
His gaze swept over Qian Gong and Song Yizhe.
"And war kills people."
The latter two involve a stab to the body; the instant one is seen by the gaze, one can feel a tingling sensation throughout the body.
Even they were extremely wary of the power of top-tier Spirit General.
"All they want is a solution," Jin Yuyan said.
She looked directly into Yue Dewen's eyes.
"Didn't you close down the Sensing Gate? When are you going to use them?"
Although she was slightly weaker than Spirit General opponent, it did not mean that she was afraid of him.
"Palace Master, the key point now is not that, but rather that portrait."
Song Yizhe spoke up.
"After receiving intelligence from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion, we verified it and confirmed that many details matched."
There aren't that many coincidences in this world. Given that person possessed such methods, were so secretive, and concealed their strength, it's not hard to understand why they would do such a thing. After all...
He paused.
"After all, we also contributed to the Eastern Sect's affairs back then. And he was once part of the Eastern Sect."
"Enough!"
Yue Dewen suddenly spoke up.
He rarely gets angry; he's always amiable and smiling at people.
Even when committing murder, this principle applies.
But at this moment, the smile had vanished from his face.
The Heavenly Sincerity Palace was quiet.
Even Jin Yuyan shifted slightly, and he remained silent.
Yue Dewen rarely doesn't smile.
Everyone has long been used to the fact that someone always likes to laugh.
When he doesn't smile, a cold contrast is instantly created.
It's terrifying.
This strange contrast creates a tremendous sense of oppression.
However, everyone present was Worship God Great Grandmaster realm, one of the most outstanding people in the Great Ling Realm.
Everyone present, who hadn't fought their way through countless bloody battles? Their wills were as strong as iron.
No one was afraid. On the contrary, all ten Worship God Great Grandmaster, their gazes sharp as knives and swords, fell upon Yue Dewen.
Everyone was waiting for his answer.
