Chapter 91 I'll shut you up!
"To truly grasp the essence of the art, one cannot merely focus on cultivating techniques; one must also perceive and understand the universe."
Inside the Hall of Enlightenment, a teacher was speaking eloquently.
"The essence of artistic conception is the ultimate truth of the universe. Many times, we bury ourselves in hard practice but still can't find the direction. Perhaps by looking at the clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky, the sun rising and the moon setting, we can suddenly understand it."
"To understand the universe and nature is also a part of cultivation."
"These numerous martial arts techniques were created by martial artists of the past, who imitated all things in heaven and earth."
As the sun began to set, the teachers in the Hall of Enlightenment finished their lessons, and Mo Zheng and Zhou Xian got up and headed out.
The teachers at the Martial Arts Hall are all masters of the Internal Organs Realm, and they have all comprehended the essence of the art. Naturally, they do not only teach outer disciples.
When teaching true disciples, sharing one's own insights into artistic conception is a more important part of the lesson. Drawing on the strengths of various schools of thought is more helpful for disciples to cultivate their artistic conception.
Unfortunately, this hurdle is just too difficult.
Let alone these true disciples, even these teachers, if they were to comprehend it again, might not be able to successfully enter the realm of intent.
-
"To understand the universe and nature is easier said than done."
Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "I've tried many times, but in the end, I've achieved nothing."
Mo Zheng laughed and said, "Senior brother, don't be impatient. The artistic conception is not so easy to comprehend. However, what this teacher said is indeed correct. It is easier to comprehend the natural world than to just bury yourself in hard practice."
His ability to comprehend sword intent stemmed from the three years he spent in the Heavenly Blade Gorge, where he experienced the changes in different wind types every day, laying a solid foundation that allowed him to successfully comprehend sword intent in one fell swoop.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm used to it." Zhou Xian looked at Mo Zheng and said, "Master Liu often says that you are one of the most talented disciples he has ever seen. This time when the Haotian Secret Realm opens, you must work hard and try to get a Martial Saint opportunity."
"By then, I'll have a junior brother who's at the level of a Martial Saint. The experience of that... tsk tsk tsk —"
"It's not that easy!" Mo Zheng laughed.
As I stepped out of the Wendao Hall, a delicate fragrance suddenly wafted towards me.
A beautiful woman dressed in flamboyant attire stood at the door, smiling and greeting the two of them. Who else could it be but Xiang Zhen?
She stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Mo, what a coincidence! You're also attending a lecture in the Hall of Enlightenment?"
"Cough cough————"
Zhou Xian coughed lightly, but looked at Mo Zheng with a playful smile.
He knew perfectly well that the other party was not looking for him.
Mo Zheng looked helpless and was about to refuse when he suddenly heard a voice calling in his ear: "Junior Sister Xiang".
"I never expected to meet Junior Sister Xiang here."
A young man dressed in a blue robe and carrying a long sword walked over and said to Xiang Zhen with a smile, "Junior Sister Xiang, do you have some free time right now? I would like to learn a few sword techniques from you."
"You have a rival in love now." Zhou Xian winked and watched the spectacle.
Mo Zheng smiled bitterly. What rival did he have in love? It was nothing more than Xiang Zhen's pursuit.
There aren't many female disciples in the martial arts hall, and even fewer who are beautiful. Naturally, someone like Xiang Zhen, with her family background and looks, has many admirers.
As for this young man in blue robes, he is called Zheng Zhijie, nicknamed Mountain Blade. His Mountain-Suppressing Blade Technique is quite famous, and he is currently ranked thirteenth on the True Disciple List.
Xiang Zhen frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a dinner appointment with Junior Brother Mo today."
Having said that, she walked intimately to Mo Zheng's side, and the pleasant fragrance immediately became even stronger, making it exceptionally intoxicating.
Zheng Zhijie's face turned ugly.
Mo Zheng was also taken aback. He looked at Xiang Zhen, who was beautiful, tall, and had fair, radiant skin—truly a first-rate beauty. This wasn't the first time she had waited for him.
Unfortunately, he was not a suitable match for her.
"Junior Sister Xiang—" Zheng Zhijie's face was extremely ugly.
He knew, of course, that the other person was rejecting him by doing this.
"Please make way."
Xiang Zhen smiled slightly, then pulled Mo Zheng along and walked forward.
Seeing that the three had vanished without a trace, Zheng Zhijie angrily stomped his foot on the ground and cursed, "Bastards!"
At this moment, another figure stepped out from the side; it was none other than He Kuang, the Sword Madman.
He Kuang was dressed in black, with a sword hanging at his waist, and his brows were full of a sharp aura.
He said, "How about it, Senior Brother Zheng? I told you long ago that Junior Sister Xiang has already fallen for someone else, but you didn't believe me. You practiced your sword all day long. Now the cooked duck has flown away. Looking at how close they are, who knows what might have happened."
"Shut up!"
Zheng Zhijie clenched his fists, his face ashen, and said hatefully, "It must be that pretty boy Mo Zheng! He's the one who seduced my junior sister!"
True disciples all devoted themselves to cultivation, and Zheng Zhijie was no exception.
He had devoted himself to cultivating his skills for the past two months, but who would have thought that his junior sister, who had been chatting and laughing with him before, would become increasingly indifferent to him after he came out of seclusion? If He Kuang hadn't reminded him, he would still have been kept in the dark, realizing that she had a new lover.
How could he possibly tolerate this?
"It doesn't matter who falls for whom, the key is that the two of them have to be attracted to each other." He Kuang shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Zheng, you should give up. I think Junior Sister Xiang Zhen is already very fond of Junior Brother Mo. The Xiang family is a big family that is not easy to mess with, and Junior Brother Mo Zheng is even hailed as a genius who surpasses Lan Jun. You may not be his match."
"I told you to shut up!" Zheng Zhijie shouted angrily.
He was furious!
Why did Xiang Zhen stop talking to him after just one or two months?
But what good is getting angry?
Just as He Kuang said, the other party is Mo Zheng. Even a peerless genius like Lan Jun is far surpassed by him in talent, and is highly valued by the Martial Arts Hall and even the Hun Tian Sect.
If it were an ordinary disciple, he, ranked eleventh among the true disciples, could easily have dealt with him, but Mo Zheng was someone he couldn't handle.
Given the importance placed on his talent, even if he secretly used underhanded means to eliminate his opponent, it would inevitably trigger a large-scale investigation.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhijie couldn't help but take a deep breath.
However, he was not entirely willing to accept this. It should be noted that the Xiang family of Youzhou was a powerful family with three experts at the Visceral Realm, whose strength was far beyond that of ordinary Visceral Realm experts.
If I can get help from the Xiang family, my future cultivation will naturally be much smoother.
Wait!
There is only one way to win Xiang Zhen back: wait.
When a genius rises, it is certainly brilliant, but it is not necessarily smooth sailing. The difficult hurdle of the Visceral Realm has blocked countless peerless geniuses. Can Mo Zheng really get through it?
It remains to be seen whose martial arts will go further!
Moreover, he is currently the eleventh disciple of the true lineage, while his opponent is only the twentieth disciple. It is obvious who is stronger.
"Don't argue, we'll see!"
Zheng Zhijie secretly thought to himself that he wanted to find an opportunity to teach Mo Zheng a lesson.
It's not too far off. Three months from now, it will be the qualification assessment for the Haotian Secret Realm. There will definitely be opportunities to fight then.
Seeing Zheng Zhijie's ever-changing expression, He Kuang smiled inwardly.
Junior Brother You was confined and even tortured at home, all because of this person surnamed Mo. His entire lineage holds a grudge against him.
Since Senior Brother Fang Yang is unable to take action himself, it's a good opportunity to use Zheng Zhijie, this fool, to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Thinking of the power of Zheng Zhijie's Zhenyue Blade, He Kuang became even more smug.
No matter how strong Mo Zheng is, he has only made it through the fourth level of the Tower of Ascension, while Zheng Zhijie is almost through the fifth level. The difference in strength is not small.
"Goodbye, senior sister."
Once they reached a location far from the Hall of Enlightenment, Mo Zheng intended to part ways with Xiang Zhen.
"Junior Brother Mo, are you really so heartless? They genuinely want to become your friends, exchange martial arts ideas, and cultivate together."
-
Xiang Zhen's bright, clear eyes immediately misted over, her face as beautiful as a flower in bloom, her beauty captivating, and her tears adding to her allure.
"She's been waiting for you, Junior Brother Mo, several times over the past few months. Can't you understand her sincere feelings?"
"this----"
Looking at the other party's attitude, Mo Zheng felt helpless. He was the type to respond to gentle persuasion but not force, and Xiang Zhen's words made it difficult for him to refuse directly.
"Junior Sister, please don't lose your composure. There are many fellow disciples coming and going. If they see us, they might think that we are bullying you."
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "I think Junior Brother Mo Zheng has also felt your good intentions. However, the qualification assessment for the Haotian Secret Realm will begin soon, and I think you know how important this assessment is."
"It would be better to wait a few months until the Haotian Secret Realm incident is over. At that time, Junior Brother Mo Zheng will surely have time to cultivate with you."
"Really?" Xiang Zhen looked at Mo Zheng, her beautiful face full of anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Mo Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Zhou's words are exactly what I meant."
"Then I'll be waiting for you!"
Xiang Zhen's expression brightened, revealing a radiant smile that was indescribably beautiful.
She turned and walked towards her residence.
"Hey, hey, stop looking!"
Zhou Xian waved his hand in front of Mo Zheng and laughed, "She's already gone, why are you still staring? If you're really interested, just invite her to dinner."
"Senior brother————"
Mo Zheng shook his head. A beauty, everyone wants to take a second look.
However, he had never really thought about being together. It wasn't that Xiang Zhen wasn't pretty, but he just never felt like he could like her.
"I'm warning you, don't get too close to her."
Zhou Xian said earnestly, "Our martial arts hall has many descendants from prominent families, and quite a few female disciples who are beautiful and exceptionally talented. You can have your eye on anyone else, just don't associate with Xiang Zhen."
Overall, most of the disciples in the Martial Arts Hall come from humble backgrounds, but there are still dozens of disciples from wealthy families, most of whom are descendants of powerful forces at the Internal Organs Realm.
This is not surprising. Although talent is important for martial arts, resources are also crucial.
The power of the Visceral Realm is an extremely precious resource for ordinary martial artists. They can easily give it to their offspring, so their offspring can reduce the effort of cultivating their Qi and blood and use it to cultivate external skills.
Not to mention, offspring born from unions between martial artists are naturally more gifted and talented than ordinary people, so it is not surprising that this situation occurs.
Why did Senior Brother Zhou only mention Xiang Zhen and not the others?
He looked at the other person, his eyes full of doubt.
"The Xiang family's power in Youzhou is quite vast and deeply entrenched. However, their three elders at the Visceral Realm have always been at odds, constantly fighting and scheming against each other. If you marry Xiang Zhen, you will inevitably be drawn into this vortex of conflict, which would be asking for trouble."
Zhou Xian patiently explained to Mo Zheng, "Your talent shouldn't be wasted on this kind of thing. Right now, the most important thing is to cultivate properly."
Mo Zheng nodded, agreeing with Zhou Xian's statement.
Although he was confident that he could achieve the Visceral Realm within one or two years, he was still completely clueless about how to comprehend the essence of fire in his cultivation after reaching the Visceral Realm.
It would be unwise to get involved in this internal organ struggle at this point.
If he truly loved Xiang Zhen, that would be one thing, but he didn't have much feeling for her.
"Of course, the most important thing isn't that, but rather this Junior Sister Xiang Zhen herself. Do you think she's fallen in love with you at this point?"
Zhou Xian smiled sarcastically, "Back when Junior Brother Lan Jun showed his talent, our Junior Sister Xiang Zhen was just as loyal and caring. It's just a pity that Junior Brother Lan Jun is too cold and focused on martial arts, not relying on external things. Seeing that she didn't have much of a chance, she went to this Junior Brother Zheng and they were often seen together, their relationship was very close."
"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Zheng is also a martial arts genius. He entered the Martial Arts Hall with Junior Brother Lan Jun, and in seven years he has become the eleventh among the true disciples. It is not impossible for him to become the number one among the true disciples in the future."
"It's a pity that Junior Brother Zheng's talent is still not as good as yours, so our Junior Sister Xiang Zhen has become indifferent to him and is devoted to you."
So that's how it is! No wonder Zheng Zhijie suddenly jumped out!
Mo Zheng suddenly realized that this Senior Sister Xiang Zhen didn't like any particular person, but rather a martial arts genius with exceptional talent.
That's true. She's a young lady from a prominent family, with such high standards. What hasn't she seen? The two of them had no contact at all before, so how could she suddenly fall for him?
It's likely that she sought a husband with exceptional martial arts talent for the sake of her position within the family.
Mo Zheng, who already had no feelings for Xiang Zhen, became even more averse to her after hearing this.
"I've said everything I needed to say. What you do next is up to you."
Zhou Xian said, "The opening of the Haotian Secret Realm is extremely important, but although there are many opportunities inside, there are also many dangers. Every time, disciples lose their lives. You must be well prepared."
People die in the Haotian Secret Realm?
Mo Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will cultivate diligently."
Practice.
Back in his courtyard, Mo Zheng once again entered a frenzied state of cultivation. However, compared to when he was comprehending the Twelve Swords of Wind, when he stayed in Tiandao Gorge, he now devoted more effort to hunting monsters in the Daliang Mountains.
Other disciples need to spend a lot of time comprehending the Unity Realm and the Martial Arts Intent, but he has already comprehended the Gale Intent. Now all he needs to do is fully master it.
This kind of mastery requires a lot of practical experience.
Only through continuous practical experience can one discover how to quickly improve their mastery of the skills.
Hunting demonic beasts, cultivating inner energy, meditating on mental power, and every now and then going to Liu Qing to spar and find problems, Mo Zheng would also often go to listen to the teachings of the teachers of Wendao Hall on the true meaning of martial arts.
His days were incredibly fulfilling.
He had only one goal in mind: to master the Gale Sword Intent as soon as possible.
Whether it's venturing into the Haotian Secret Realm or receiving a reward from Headmaster Feng, he needs to quickly master the Gale Sword Intent.
Moreover, after reaching the Visceral Realm, he was able to set off for the Great Qian Dynasty to find his elder brother and Xiao Tian.
Qiu'er has grown up. Although her sister-in-law doesn't say it, her longing for her brother is extremely intense.
She often stares into the distance, lost in thought.
All Mo Zheng can do is seize every moment to cultivate and make continuous progress.
Once you reach a certain level of strength, many problems cease to be problems.
P.S.: Updates are infrequent, but I don't intend to abandon this project. I've been too busy lately, with a ton of work to do every day, so I can only write in my spare time. That might mean updates aren't always timely.
