After officially taking Hong as his disciple.
The Xingyi Sect in the Swallowed Star world was officially established.
Although the current Xingyi Sect didn't even have a proper training ground yet...
During the few days he spent guiding Hong.
Teng Qingshan was always at Nanshan Park.
Although Hong was a bit curious as to why a sect capable of producing an 18-year-old Grandmaster had fallen into such decline, he didn't ask.
He had very limited time in China, and he barely had enough time to absorb the essence of martial arts as it was.
Moreover, Hong was not a very curious person.
If Teng Qingshan was willing to share these secrets, he would naturally tell him; if he didn't, there was naturally a reason for it.
Time flew by.
It had been over a month since Hong left.
The date had arrived at October 15, 2014.
During this period, besides high-intensity training, Teng Qingshan had been constantly picking up his former spear techniques and Flying Dagger skills.
In a pavilion on the hillside of Nanshan.
At this moment, Teng Qingshan was calmly holding his Great Spear, standing perfectly still.
This was the "Holding the Great Spear," also known as the "Great Spear Stance" passed down in the Xingyi Sect.
Although Teng Qingshan had reached an extremely high level in spear techniques in his past life.
Due to the differences between the two worlds.
Many profound insights into the martial dao could not be manifested here at all.
Thus, Teng Qingshan had no choice but to practice his spear techniques from scratch.
However, thanks to his incredibly solid foundation, Teng Qingshan's progress in spear techniques was extremely fast.
After all, he possessed the consciousness and martial dao realm of a Supreme Powerhouse.
Even when retraining, he could progress at an incredible speed.
It was early autumn.
The mountains were already tinged with a hint of withered yellow.
As the mountain breeze blew.
Many fallen leaves drifted down one after another.
Teng Qingshan, who had once again returned to the realm of Unity of Man and Spear, could sense these light, fluttering leaves landing on his long spear with absolute clarity.
Each leaf felt as heavy as a boulder.
Swish!
Suddenly.
The long spear in Teng Qingshan's hand moved!
Chi chi chi!
He thrust his spear continuously like lightning.
There were no fewer than several hundred leaves swept down by the mountain breeze.
But under Teng Qingshan's lightning-fast thrusts, every single one of these leaves was pierced through by the spear!
When the last leaf was impaled on the tip of the spear.
Teng Qingshan finally opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile, "After a month of secluded practice, not only have I long since returned to the Unity of Man and Spear, but I have finally reached the Grandmaster realm in Listening Jin as well."
Every spear Grandmaster was a person with keen spiritual perception.
A feat like the one just now.
Was merely a basic operation.
"After more than a month of high-intensity training, my height has reached the limit for this life; I didn't expect it to be about the same as my past life, both at 1.9 meters." Teng Qingshan retracted his spear and stood tall. "My punching power has also reached over 900 kilograms, which exceeds the standard threshold for a Quasi-Martial Artist."
Over this past month.
His physical strength had increased significantly at the beginning, as the Psychic Power leaking from his mind could effectively nourish and strengthen his body.
But later on, the Psychic Power passively leaking from the Psychic Power Sphere gradually couldn't keep up with the efficiency of Teng Qingshan's physical improvement. Naturally, the rate of increase in his punching power slowed down.
However, given that Teng Qingshan was still in the final stages of physical development, even with the slowdown, his rate of improvement remained very fast.
Teng Qingshan estimated that this high-speed growth could continue until he turned 19.
The golden period of human physical development is generally three to four years; this body only started developing at 15, so reaching 19 would be just right.
"According to the information provided by the Little Cauldron, once my punch force reaches 900 kilograms, my speed reaches 25 meters per second, and my neural reaction speed meets the standard, I can attempt to use the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method to absorb Cosmic Energy and refine it into Source Energy."
Teng Qingshan slowly unfolded his spear stance once more, practicing the spear techniques from his memories one by one, gradually adapting them into spear arts that could be utilized in this world.
He then compiled these spear arts into the Samsara Spear Canon.
The first form: the Primordial Unity Spear Art, derived from the Horizontal Fist, a spear art specialized in defense.
The second form: the Shadow-Following Spear Art, derived from the Crushing Fist; once the spear strikes, it is continuous and unending, the premier spear art for dealing with multiple opponents.
The third form: the Poison Dragon Drill Spear Art, derived from the Drilling Fist, carrying a powerful spiral force, specialized in breaking through enemy defenses.
The fourth form: the Crimson Tiger Roar Spear Art, derived from the Cannon Fist, the single form with the greatest raw power!
The fifth form: the Mountain-Splitting Spear Art, derived from the Splitting Fist, the most domineering form for head-on combat!
These five spear arts condensed the essence of most of the spear techniques Teng Qingshan had mastered in his past life.
Moreover, by making slight adjustments based on the underlying rules of Swallowed Star, he could execute them here.
On a small patch of open ground outside the pavilion.
Teng Qingshan brandished the long spear in his hand, moving at times like a swimming dragon, at times like a fierce tiger, at times like lightning, and at times like a gale.
This long spear, which Teng Qingshan had also named "Samsara," seemed to possess a life of its own at this moment.
These five spear arts were also the foundation upon which Teng Qingshan had comprehended the Heaven and Earth powers of the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—in his past life.
Of course, in the world of Swallowed Star, there is no such concept as the power of Heaven and Earth, nor are there cultivation realms like Void Realm or Void Piercing.
However, there are "Origin Laws" that possess even greater power and higher limits!
The images of the future that had been transmitted from the Little Cauldron from time to time over these past few days allowed Teng Qingshan to understand more and more about the laws of the Swallowed Star world.
He learned that this world contains the five Origin Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
At the same time, there is the even more powerful Space Law!
Furthermore, there exist the even more mysterious Time Law, as well as the Wind, Light, and Lightning Laws!
"What a truly miraculous world!"
Teng Qingshan practiced his spear arts while recalling the information in his mind.
Compared to the vast and boundless power of the Origin Laws.
The Heaven and Earth powers and the various "Daos" of the Nine Provinces Continent were far too weak in comparison...
Of course.
Since the underlying rules of different worlds vary, they cannot be forcibly compared.
But there was no doubt.
In the Swallowed Star world, the limit Teng Qingshan could reach would be much higher.
In his past life in the Nine Provinces World, it took Teng Qingshan less than forty years to become a Supreme Powerhouse, reaching the absolute limit of cultivation and unable to advance even a fraction further.
But here...
"Planetary Level, Stellar Level, Universe Level, Domain Lord, World Lord, and above them, the Immortals with infinite lifespans. Among the Immortals, there are further divisions: Military Lord Immortal, Marquis Immortal, and King Immortal. Above them are the even stronger Venerables, and the Universe Masters who can reverse time and space to resurrect the dead!"
A look of shock flashed through Teng Qingshan's eyes, "There are even Universe Supreme Beings above the inconceivable realm of Universe Master! What kind of world is this..."
As more information flowed from the Little Cauldron over these days, Teng Qingshan sorted and integrated it, eventually coming to understand the cultivation system of this world.
Comparing it to the Nine Provinces World, Teng Qingshan felt deeply shaken.
The conviction in his heart to become stronger grew even more intense.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The long spear, imbued with all of Teng Qingshan's mental will, thrust out time and time again.
Under the compression of his immense strength, the air at the tip of the spear was squeezed, emitting a series of sonic booms.
However, under the control of Teng Qingshan's profound spear art mastery, these sonic booms were very faint, and since he was on a sparsely populated mountainside, he did not need to worry about being discovered.
"Judging by the fact that the Psychic Power Sphere in my mind is fiery red, both my physical affinity and psychic affinity should be 'Fire.' The best path forward is to comprehend the Fire Domain and the Fire Origin Law. This will allow me to achieve twice the result with half the effort, enabling me to fully grasp the Law of Fire at the fastest speed to reach the Immortal realm, or even use it as a springboard to comprehend the deeper and more powerful Space Law."
Stopping his spear practice, Teng Qingshan planned his future cultivation path in his mind.
