Chapter 434
Everything seemed to be different. His cultivation speed was far beyond that of an ordinary person, as if there was an invisible force pushing him forward, allowing him to advance two realms in a short period of time.
Outside the room, a breeze blew, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle. Ren Xiaoyao stood up and pushed open the door, and was greeted by the fresh mountain air. He took a deep breath, feeling the abundant spiritual power in his body, and his heart surged with unprecedented confidence and strength.
"Xiaoyao, your progress is amazing." A gentle voice came from deep in the bamboo forest. Ren Xiaoyao turned his head and saw an old man in a green shirt slowly walking towards him. It was his master, Yunyin Zhenren.
Yunyin Zhenren had a kind face and his eyes were full of praise. He gently patted Ren Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I only know a little about the secrets hidden in your body. Do you know that you are not of mortal blood, but of the 'heir of dragon blood' that is rare in a thousand years?"
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked and puzzled when he heard this, "Descendant of Dragon Blood? Master, what does this mean?"
Yunyin Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "It is said that the dragon race is the most noble race in the world, and its blood contains endless potential. The reason why your blood is getting thicker is a sign of the awakening of dragon blood. This is also the reason why you can cultivate at an amazing speed and easily overcome bottlenecks."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart was shaken, and it was difficult for him to digest this sudden information. He looked up at the blue sky, feeling both excited and confused. "Then what should I do to fully awaken this power?"
Master Yunyin pondered for a moment and said, "The power of dragon blood is extraordinary. Awakening it requires opportunity and test. Recently, a martial arts conference will be held, and heroes from all walks of life will gather together. Perhaps there will be the opportunity you need."
"Martial Arts Conference?" A gleam of light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, which was the desire and anticipation for unknown challenges.
"Yes, you will fight on behalf of our Yunyin Peak on this trip. It is also a good opportunity for you to test yourself and find a way to awaken the dragon blood." Master Yunyin said in a firm tone, as if everything was within his expectations.
During the conversation, the two of them had already walked to the edge of a stream. The clear stream reflected the figures of the master and the apprentice, which seemed particularly peaceful. Suddenly, a strange wave rose from the stream, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.
"Someone is coming, and judging from the aura, it doesn't seem to have good intentions." Master Yunyin frowned slightly and looked around vigilantly.
Just as the master and the disciple were on guard, a man in black flashed out from the forest, his figure was ghostly, and he ran straight towards them. The man in black stopped, his eyes stayed on Ren Xiaoyao for a long time, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are indeed gifted. No wonder he values you so much." The man in black spoke in a low voice, with an indescribable pressure.
"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" Ren Xiaoyao showed no sign of weakness. He stood in front of Master Yunyin with a sharp gaze.
The man in black chuckled. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that the dragon blood flowing in your body is of great use to me. If you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that you will quickly reach a level that no one can reach."
"Hmph, I am Ren Xiaoyao, I will walk my own path, I don't need your 'kindness'." Ren Xiaoyao flatly refused, with the spiritual power in his body surging faintly, ready to respond to any possible battle at any time.
The man in black saw this, but he was not angry. He just shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you don't seem to understand your situation. But it doesn't matter. We will meet again. I hope you can make the right choice by then."
After saying this, the man in black flashed and disappeared into the depths of the jungle like a phantom, leaving the master and disciple looking at each other, and both of them could read from each other's eyes the upcoming storm.
"Master, who is this person? Why is he so interested in my dragon blood?" Ren Xiaoyao asked, his heart full of doubts.
Yunyin Zhenren sighed, "This person's origin is unknown, but he obviously has great intentions towards you. Xiaoyao, remember, true strength comes from within, not from external things. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you must stick to your original intention, and you will be successful in everything."
The master and the disciple continued walking along the stream, their backs gradually disappearing among the green bamboo forest, leaving behind a series of deep thoughts about fate and choices.
, he did not rush for success like ordinary people, but chose to calm his mind and carefully feel the flow of every bit of true energy in his body, as well as the unknown power hidden deep in his blood. He realized that his path to promotion seemed different from others, not only because of the rapid progress in speed, but also because every breakthrough was accompanied by subtle changes in the mysterious power in his body.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was immersed in his exploration of his own cultivation, a slight knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. A gentle and familiar voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoyao, it's me, Junior Brother Wuchen."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved. This Junior Brother Wuchen was one of his closest friends in the sect. The two had practiced together since childhood and had a deep friendship. He quickly tidied his clothes, walked quickly to the door, and opened it. Outside the door, Wuchen was wearing a green shirt, holding an ancient scripture, smiling, and his eyes were as clear as water.
"Brother Xiaoyao, congratulations on your breakthrough to the seventh level! I heard the news and came to congratulate you." Wu Chen stepped forward and presented the scriptures with both hands, "This is the 'Bi Xue Dan Xin Jue' that Master asked me to pass on to you. It is said to be particularly suitable for your physique and will be of great benefit to your subsequent practice."
Ren Xiaoyao took the book and felt the slight coolness coming from the cover, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this was not only the master's high hopes for him, but also Wuchen's concern for him. "Thank you Wuchen, I will study hard." With that, the two walked into the house side by side and began to discuss "The Secret of the Blood and Heart".
Over the past few days, with Wuchen's help, Ren Xiaoyao's understanding of the "Bi Xue Dan Xin Jue" has deepened day by day. Not only has his cultivation level steadily improved, but he has also discovered that this technique seems to resonate with the mysterious power in his body, guiding it to gradually reveal its clues. Whenever it was late at night, he would be alone in the courtyard, following the instructions of the technique, guiding the power to flow slowly and merge with the true energy in his body, making his cultivation level have a qualitative leap invisibly.
However, just as Ren Xiaoyao was immersed in the joy of cultivation, the man in black robe appeared again, his eyes were deeper than usual, as if he saw through everything. "Xiaoyao, I have noticed the secret hidden in your body. It is an ancient blood power. If I hadn't helped you awaken it, I'm afraid you would never be able to touch its true mystery in your lifetime."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. He was grateful but also doubtful. "Senior, what do you mean? Where does the power of my bloodline come from?"
The black-robed man raised his lips slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. "Before the time comes, you will know everything. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Your future path is destined to be extraordinary."
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to ask again, the black-robed man disappeared in a flash, leaving behind a string of meaningful words echoing in the air: "The path of cultivation is endless. Xiaoyao, when you are ready, come find me again."
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the direction where the black-robed man disappeared, feeling mixed emotions, including curiosity about the unknown fate and expectations for his own abilities. He turned to look at Wuchen, with a firm light in his eyes: "Wuchen, let's continue to practice. No matter what the future holds, I will face it calmly."
Wu Chen nodded, his smile showing understanding and support: "Brother, let's go through thick and thin together."
The two smiled at each other, and then plunged into the intense and expectant training again. The chapter of the story slowly unfolded as they grew up...
, this opportunity seemed to come faster than others. He could feel that his body was guided by a mysterious force, naturally crossing the threshold of the sixth level and reaching the early stage of the seventh level, which was rare in the martial arts world.
He got up from the bed and jumped lightly. He felt as light as a swallow and strength surged in his body. It was a world of difference compared to three days ago. Everything in the room became extremely clear in his eyes. He could even catch the sound of the leaves swaying gently outside the window.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of his improved strength, the door creaked open and a man in black robes walked in slowly. His steps were still steady, but his eyes were more approving than before: "Xiaoyao, your progress is beyond my expectations. It seems that the blood in your body is not ordinary. However, the real challenge has just begun."
The black-robed man took out a jade slip that emitted a faint glow from his sleeve and handed it to Ren Xiaoyao: "This is a fragment of the Netherworld Art. I spent a lot of effort to get this item. It can help you reach a higher level. Remember, when practicing this technique, you must not rush for quick success, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Ren Xiaoyao took the jade slip, and a chill ran through his heart. He took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Disciple understands, and will act with caution."
In the following days, Ren Xiaoyao was almost isolated from the world and devoted himself to the practice of "The Secret of the Netherworld". This technique was extremely mysterious, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but Ren Xiaoyao gradually understood the essence of it with his extraordinary will and talent.
One day, when he was meditating in the secret room, suddenly, an unprecedented energy surged out from his dantian and rushed along the eight extraordinary meridians. His skin glowed with a faint blue light, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop.
"This... this is..." Ren Xiaoyao was astonished. He could feel that he was being enveloped by an ancient and powerful force. It was the awakening of a deep level of the Netherworld Art.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in black robe walked in quickly. Seeing this, he was horrified: "Oh no, you have triggered the restriction of the Netherworld Art! Calm your mind quickly, otherwise you will be attacked by this power!"
Ren Xiaoyao heard this and quickly gathered his mind and tried to reach a reconciliation with that power. After a difficult struggle, the power finally subsided. He was sweating and panting, but his eyes became more determined.
The black-robed man approached and looked at Ren Xiaoyao, with a tone of satisfaction in his voice: "You did very well. You were able to control this power, which proves that you are qualified to continue practicing. Remember, the truly strong ones grow up through constant struggle with themselves."
Ren Xiaoyao raised his head, his eyes sparkling with expectation and determination for the future: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
The two smiled at each other, a smile that contained infinite longing and confidence for the future, and also added a strong touch to this ups and downs of martial arts story. And Ren Xiaoyao's journey really began at this moment.
, the opportunity seemed to come quietly, allowing him to avoid the thunder tribulation of the peak of the sixth level, and become one of the few young masters in the martial arts world who can directly enter the seventh level. This kind of leap-forward progress is rarely achieved even by the masters of the older generation of martial arts. Ren Xiaoyao was surprised and a little wary. He understood that all this seemed accidental, but there must be a reason behind it.
He got up from the bed, his sleeves fluttering and his steps light, and it was obvious that his physical fitness had made a qualitative leap. Outside the window, the birds were singing and the mountains were more secluded. He stared into the distance, thinking to himself: "Is my rapid improvement in strength related to the man in black robes? What exactly does he mean by 'gift'?"
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was lost in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts. The door opened slightly, and a disciple in green clothes hurried in, knelt on one knee, and said anxiously: "Young Master, there is a senior outside the door who calls himself 'Yunyou Sihai' who wants to see you. He said he has something important to tell you."
"Yunyou Sihai?" Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly. This name sounded familiar to him. Rumor has it that this person's whereabouts are erratic, but he knows all the secrets of various sects. If there is really such an important matter, it may be related to his recent changes. He nodded, "Please let him in."
A moment later, an old man in a tattered Taoist robe and holding a bamboo stick slowly walked into the room. His face was covered with dust, but it was hard to hide the wisdom and depth in his eyes. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Ren Xiaoyao. He smiled slightly and said, "Young Master has a unique talent, and is indeed a rare talent in the martial arts world. This is why I came to visit you today."
