Xie Wuji looked Jiang Ping up and down, his feelings a mix of emotions.
He had just suggested that the other party temporarily give up Changshi Fist, but the young man gave him a big surprise, or rather, a shock.
In less than five months, Changshi Fist has put its new philosophy into practice.
This young man's comprehension is... it's insane!
He didn't know if there would be successors, and the ancients weren't entirely sure either, but in this era, Jiang Ping was definitely the most insightful!
The old man remained silent for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion: he could not offer any guidance or planning for Jiang Ping's path.
I can't even understand it.
And.
Jiang Ping has been studying the Changshi Fist with all his might recently, becoming completely absorbed in it. The main reason for this is probably that he wants to prolong his life, so as soon as he made some progress, he came to share it with him.
Otherwise, given this "sixth brother's" personality, it would probably take a long time before he was exposed.
"My judgment has always been good." Xie Wuji smiled with satisfaction, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Then, he couldn't help but send a Jiang Saint at the temple.
A moment later, a handsome yet unassuming middle-aged man appeared, bathed in starlight.
"Look at this painting."
Xie Wuji handed the Painting scroll to Jiang Siqi.
Jiang Saint took it, glanced at it briefly, and then frowned. "Who drew this? It's so ugly."
"..." Jiang Ping.
When he showed it to his wife, Chen Qingyan said the same thing.
Hey! That's not the point!
"Um?"
Jiang Saint is no ordinary person; he instantly entered the painting, then paused, stunned.
This is the Sixth Fraction Concept Realm the Changshiquan (Changshi Fist) technique!
Jiang Siqi had always wanted to prolong Xie Wuji's life, so he had naturally practiced this kind of Fist Technique. He immediately recognized that it belonged to a realm that no one had ever set foot in before in the Changshi Fist.
Today, someone has blazed a new trail, adding another layer of Artistic Conception to Changshi Fist!
And this person was none other than Jiang Ping.
Jiang Saint was somewhat stunned. How long had this young man been training?!
"Isn't the young man I've taken a liking to quite good?" Xie Wuji said with a smile, looking at the surprised Jiang Saint.
"It's more than just good," Jiang Siqi sighed.
With such insight, if he had lived in his time, what chance would he have had of becoming the Number One Under Heaven?
"How long can you extend Senior Xie's life?"
Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask, as this was a question he was quite concerned about.
"Hmm..." Jiang Siqi's expression was complicated. After briefly examining the unremarkable Painting scroll, he said, "It should extend his lifespan by several months."
"Only a few months?"
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow slightly.
In other words, Elder Xie will not survive this winter.
Jiang Saint nodded slightly and sighed, "Teacher Xie is on his last legs, his Blood Qi is too weak. Even if he were to use Six-tenths Concept Realm to revitalize him, it would only be a drop in the ocean and would be insufficient to reverse the limits of his life."
"To live a few more months would be a blessing," Xie Wuji said, aware of his condition and having anticipated it.
Jiang Ping thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "What if one Great Accomplishment of the Artistic Conception?"
"A Great Accomplishment Artistic Conception?!"
Jiang Siqi looked at the young man, took a deep breath, and seemed about to say something, but then swallowed it back down.
The young man was very arrogant; he had previously just listened to him and then forgotten about it, not taking it seriously.
But now, he must change this mindset and not judge Jiang Ping by conventional standards.
Perhaps...
Jiang Saint paused for a moment, then said, "If the Changshi Fist were to reach its Great Accomplishment Concept Realm again, its power would naturally increase significantly, and Teacher Xie would probably be able to live for several more years."
"Of course, this is just speculation, the key is..."
Jiang Siqi dared not speak definitively, looking at the young man with trepidation.
Jiang Ping's comprehension is somewhat abnormal; if he could truly extend his Changshi Concept by even a fraction of that time...
But.
Jiang Siqi had thought things through a lot and possessed exceptional strength. He clearly understood that Artistic Conception from five to six points was only a minor improvement.
Reaching seven points signifies Great Accomplishment, indicating substantial progress, but it is also much more difficult to attain.
It takes a long time just to teach a genius an existing skill, let alone to Treading the path and put it into practice. This is a completely unknown field, and one can only rely on oneself to explore it, which is extremely difficult.
"I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee anything."
Jiang Ping said, "I don't dare to speak too definitively."
"It's alright, just follow your route."
Xie Wuji said, indicating that the young man should not feel pressured.
To forge a new path is already an astonishing feat; once it gets out, it will surely shake the world.
He felt that with Jiang Ping's talent, he was sure to achieve Great Accomplishment Concept, but it would be unreasonable to force a young man to make progress within his lifespan.
"Teacher Xie is right, you don't need to put pressure on yourself."
Jiang Siqi said, then added, "I know you have extraordinary comprehension, but don't blindly pursue this Fist Technique, and certainly don't think about becoming Becoming a Saint through it."
He knew that the young man was ambitious and had big words, but even if Jiang Ping were given several decades, he might not be able to succeed in implementing Changshi Grand Momentum.
The Great Li was not peaceful either, with serious internal strife. He was also afraid that after Saint Qin's death, he would not be able to protect Jiang Ping. It would be best for Jiang Ping to Becoming a Saint as soon as possible.
"I know what I'm doing," Jiang Ping nodded gently.
Several days later.
Another round of refining the Golden Core, a moment of intense enhancement.
Jiang Ping entered the Yin Yang Furnace, where he simmered the Golden Core Different Force. At the same time, the little figure in his Sea of Consciousness opened and closed, peering for life amidst the lightning, exploding again and again.
In the blink of an eye, it's been from early spring to the beginning of summer.
"Judging by the timeline, that old fellow should have passed away by now."
On this day, several Half-Saint gathered together in the Imperial City.
"The Martial Saint Changchun has already issued General's Order for him, so it's difficult for him to live. But what I'm curious about is why there's been no movement from the Jiang Family. Logically, there should be a funeral," the Zheng Family Old Woman said in confusion.
She had participated in intercepting Jiang Ping and didn't have many years left to live, but she wanted to outlive Xie Wuji to death; that would give her a great sense of satisfaction.
"That old geezer didn't have any friends. He probably didn't have a funeral. He just passed away quietly one morning."
"It's very possible that news has also come from the Jiang Family that Xie Wuji's residence has been empty for quite some time."
"It doesn't matter. Even if he were still alive, he wouldn't last more than a few days."
A certain white-bearded Half-Saint chuckled.
In any case, his outstanding descendant, who had just been released from Great Prison, had been living peacefully for a long time, which meant that Xie Wuji was definitely out of breath and unable to interfere in external affairs.
"On another note," the Zheng Family Old Woman suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice:
"I heard that the Martial Bone Talent living in the Jiang Family has made astonishing progress recently, and has already reached the Golden Core Fifth Turn realm, while Xiao Yucheng has only been at the Sixth Turn for a short time."
These words immediately turned the previously cheerful atmosphere slightly serious.
"This person's talent is indeed too high." A Half-Saint pondered, and said, "Why didn't you kill him that day?"
The Zheng Family Old Woman sighed softly and said, "We also wanted to, but who knew that Jiang Saint's Daoist techniques had broken through? That old Half-Saint from the Su Family unleashed several Killing move, but failed each time. That young man's life is quite tough."
"It doesn't matter. Even if Becoming a Saint, he can't change the world. By the time he truly stands at the Peerless martial sainthood, our power will have already been secured." The white-bearded Half-Saint smiled and added:
"Before the heavy snow closes the mountain this year, aren't all the Golden Core martial artists going to the Five Elements Mystic Mountain to cultivate? Jiang Ping shouldn't miss this opportunity. At that time, the two sides will definitely be eager to fight."
"If Xiao Yucheng is wary of this genius, I can have my descendant suppress his arrogance. That child is almost at the Greater Golden Core stage; suppressing a fifth or sixth-stage Golden Core cultivator shouldn't be a problem."
