Chapter 236 Upgrade! Upgrade! Upgrade!

At this time, Gongsun Ce spread his hands towards the Master and Li Manman, indicating that they should taste it together.

After Gongsun Ce completed the breathtaking fish fillet iceberg, the teacher beside him could no longer contain his excitement.

After obtaining Gongsun Ce's consent, he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

The Master closed his eyes and savored the changes in the fish in his mouth.

The delicious taste spreads in the mouth like spring water, with a hint of coolness and sweetness.

He seemed to be able to feel the vitality of the fish jumping on the tip of his tongue, and the deliciousness seemed to be able to penetrate his soul and make him intoxicated.

The Master opened his eyes, took a breath, his face full of shock and satisfaction.

He turned to look at Gongsun Ce, his eyes full of admiration and respect: "My dear Gongsun, the way you handle this peony fish is really wonderful! I have tasted peony fish for many years, but I have never tasted such delicious taste."

Li Manman, who was standing by, couldn't help but pick up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth out of curiosity.

His expression was somewhat calm at first, but soon turned into surprise.

He felt as if there was a live fish jumping in his mouth, and the delicious taste hit his taste buds like waves.

He couldn't help but nodded, expressing his sincere appreciation for Gongsun Ce's handling method.

"This gentleman's cooking skills really make me admire him. My name is Li Manman. May I know your name?"

"Gong Sun Ce." Gong Sun Ce's voice sounded beside Li Manman's ears, "My cooking skills are not that good. You are overpraising me."

Fu Zi and Li Man Man began to fight for the sashimi in front of them.

They exchanged words of praise for the fish fillets, as if they wanted to give all the praise to Gongsun Ce.

Soon, the iceberg sashimi made by Gongsun Ce was eaten up by the two of them.

After the Master finished eating, he looked at Li Manman with a bit of reproach: "Manman, you were so slow when cutting the fish fillets, but why are you so fast when eating the fish? You made me eat a lot less."

Li Manman grinned and responded, "Master, don't forget that this peony fish was prepared by Mr. Gongsun. Mr. Gongsun has superb cooking skills, so we will naturally eat it faster.

But then again, Master, don't you always say 'Don't talk when you eat or when you sleep'? Why are you so out of control today?"

The Master was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You are right! But today's fish is so delicious that I can't help but want to say a few more words."

After laughing, the Master suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Gongsun Ce, "My friend, your cooking skills are so superb, would you be so kind as to come to our academy for a visit?
I have a new apprentice in my academy, and his cooking skills are quite good. Why not try his cooking skills? "

Gongsun Ce was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Since the teacher invited me, I will go and see him. I just wonder if my master is in the academy now?"

The Master waved his hand and said, "Xunzi is not in the academy at the moment. He is traveling around the world. But you can rest assured, my friend. Xunzi has already made a breakthrough and his strength is equivalent to the seventh level of extraordinary in my academy.

With such a state of mind, you can travel the world safely. "

So, the Master took Gongsun Ce away from Rehai, and the two of them used their unparalleled magical powers to walk towards the academy.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the second floor of the academy.

This is the password door that the master left for the second floor of the academy. The password is on the stone not far outside the gate.

It is written on the stone that a gentleman does not ().

It represents the Master's different advices to his disciples. When each of the Master's disciples comes here, different words will appear on the stone.

Only those who have reached the Dongxuan realm or above can remember the words that appear.

There is also a sentence written on the gate: A gentleman does not ().

The gate will only open if the words that appear on the stone are written accurately on the gate.

Of course, for the sixth realm of the No Distance Realm, one can actually appear directly on the second floor of the academy. The so-called second floor of the academy is actually the back mountain.

"Why don't you relax and see what words will appear?"

The Master looked at the stone and made a suggestion to Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce was also a little curious about what words would appear on the stone when it faced him.

Gongsun Ce stood in front of the stone, but there was no text after the three words "A gentleman does not".

Gongsun Ce realized that this was because his mental strength was too strong and he was able to resist being spied on, so Gongsun Ce let go of some of his inner defenses.

Soon, the word "li" appeared on the stone, which means a gentleman is not polite.

"A gentleman is not polite?" The Master stroked his white beard, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "What a gentleman is not polite."

Li Manman gradually understood the meaning of "a gentleman should not be polite" from his initial confusion.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand, and the fallen leaves around him automatically combined into a piece of text without wind: At fifteen, I set my heart on learning; at thirty, I became independent; at forty, I had no doubts; at fifty, I understood the will of Heaven; at sixty, my ears were obedient; at seventy, I followed my heart's desire without breaking the rules.

The last sentence corresponds to the gentleman's lack of courtesy - do what your heart desires, but don't go beyond the rules.

Gongsun Ce knew very well that he was essentially a person who did not like to follow the rules, but he still had a bottom line.

For Gongsun Ce, he only needs to abide by his own rules. As for other people's rules, it's none of his business.

The Master was extremely interested in Gongsun Ce's nature, and he had begun to waver in his original plan.

Moreover, when the Master looked up into the sky, he could feel that something was following Xunzi and Gongsun Ce.

To be honest, the Qin world only wants to plunder the origins of other worlds to elevate itself, and it even wants people from other worlds as well.

It will not have much impact on everything in this world and the existence of other worlds.

However, Haotian in the Ever Night world wants to constantly devour the strong people in the world to improve himself. For the world, Haotian's behavior does more good than harm.

After all, the Evernight world doesn't want to be swallowed up by other worlds for no reason.

But for all living beings in the Ever Night world, the eternal night brought down by Haotian is a devastating disaster.

The Master felt that letting the Ever Night world be swallowed up by the Qin world was a good thing. Apart from anything else, at least there would no longer be eternal night in the Ever Night world, and there would not be the terrible thing that no one dared to break through the sixth realm.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and wrote a word "li" on the wooden door, then the door opened. Li walked slowly in front of the teacher to lead the way for Gongsun Ce, and the three of them came to Chen Pipi's room.

Chen Pipi's door was open at this moment, and they could see Chen Pipi busy at work. The three of them then walked into Chen Pipi's room, and Li Manman did not forget to knock on the door.

Chen Pipi, who was busy, saw the Master and Li Manman coming in and quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "Greetings, Master, Senior Brother."

The master nodded and said, "This is my new apprentice, Chen Pipi. He is a good cook. Since you are here, why not come and try his cooking with me?"

Pipi, this is Gongsun Ce, you can call him Mr. Gongsun, he is my honored guest, and when an honored guest comes, I can only trouble you to show your skills and cook delicious dishes for him."

"This is easy!" Chen Pipi patted his chest, "I'm best at cooking. Master, Mr. Gongsun, please wait a moment, I'll go buy some vegetables."

"Haha." The Master laughed heartily, "Then we will just wait for the delicious food."

After that, the Master brought Gongsun Ce to Chen Pipi's hut, where there was a stone table and a small waterfall next to it. There were exotic flowers and plants nearby, and the scenery was unique.

"While Pipi is out buying groceries, why not let me introduce you to my disciples?"

The Master then used his telekinesis to connect with Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce followed the Master's gaze and saw everyone in the back mountain.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce also realized other uses of telekinesis from the Master's use of telekinesis and used telekinesis to replace his eyes.

So Gongsun Ce's telekinesis easily broke free from the Master's telekinesis, and then followed the Master's telekinesis to the edge of a lake, where the Master's second disciple Jun Mo was standing.

The Master introduced: "He is my second disciple Jun Mo. Jun Mo, this is my distinguished guest Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun."

"Hello, Master. Hello, Mr. Gongsun."

"Hello." Gongsun Ce responded to Jun Mo's courtesy with telekinesis, "We can discuss swordplay when we have time."

The next moment, the teacher's gaze fell on the old book building, where Yu Lian was copying books.

"This is my third disciple Yu Lian. Yu Lian, this is my distinguished guest Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun."

Yu Lian bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "Greetings, Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun Ce looked at Yu Lian and remembered Yu Lian's identity. She was the former leader of the Demon Sect, Lin Wu, who was originally a man, but after practicing for twenty-three years, he rejuvenated and became a woman.

"You are very special." Gongsun Ce touched his chin, "Can you let me see your skills?"

"Mr. Gongsun, isn't that a bit impolite?"

Yu Lian continued to copy books, and it seemed that he was working hard, but Yu Lian copied books because the teacher asked him to.

Think about it carefully. If a person practices a technique, miraculous changes may suddenly occur while he is practicing.

Convex→Concave

Which ordinary person can accept this? The key is that the appearance after the change is still good, which makes it easy for people to...

This is even more difficult to accept. Gongsun Ce's proposal to watch the 23-year cicada is tantamount to rubbing salt into Yu Lian's wounds.

What's more, no matter which world it is, it is a taboo to directly ask to see other people's martial arts.

"It's not for free." Gongsun Ce sent a message to Yu Lian, "There is a reward, and you can take a look at the reward first."

The next moment, under the control of Gongsun Ce, the brush in Yu Lian's hand quickly wrote a paragraph of words on the white paper.

This is the Yin-Yang technique of the Fire Department of the Yin-Yang School. Its function is to condense the Yin and Yang energies into the hands, and then amplify the palms with fire energy, enough to make the palms invulnerable to swords and guns and have a burning aura. This Yin-Yang technique is not as good as the Dragon Swimming Aura, but it is very suitable for Yu Lian's situation.

Twenty-Three Years Cicada is the practice of the Demon Sect, which allowed Yu Lian to achieve the sixth level of the Heavenly Demon Realm. He had an amazing physique and a world of his own inside his body.

So for Yu Lian, all kinds of fancy special effects fighting techniques are not suitable; her fists and feet are her best weapons.

What she needed was intuitive boxing and kicking skills, or a secret technique to increase the power of her punches and kicks.

"This is a deposit, a token of sincerity."

Yu Lian quickly read through it and threw the paper away. The paper turned into pieces and could not be put together again.

"Okay." Yu Lian nodded, and then quickly copied the Twenty-Three Years Cicada on a piece of white paper, "This is the technique I've cultivated."

"That's all right. I've remembered it." Gongsun Ce sent a message to Yu Lian, "This is the subsequent reward."

The ink marks on the white paper recording the twenty-three-year cicada fell off the paper and then quickly arranged themselves.

Yu Lian quickly read the rearranged text and found that it was a kind of boxing. Although it had no name and was easy to get started, it was a kind of boxing that was easy to learn but difficult to master.

"This boxing technique is very special. It has no special way of moving qi, and no fancy special effects. It only has one characteristic: the stronger the physique, the stronger it is."

This style of boxing is circulated within the Pijia Sect. A simple punch can best highlight the strength of one's physique.

A disciple of the Armored Sect who has reached the consummation of the Grandmaster stage, using all his strength, can deliver a punch that is comparable to that of a beginner Grandmaster.

However, no one in the Pijia Sect has been able to reach this level for a long time, and if it is really possible to break through to the Grandmaster level, why bother pursuing this kind of boxing?
However, this thing is still good for Yu Lian.

There are too many people in the Ever Night world who pursue a high level of realm. When fighting, they rely more on the special power brought by their own realm, especially those who are in the sixth realm and above.

Li Manman doesn't know how to fight, but after learning how to fight, he also relies on the convenience brought by the state of no distance.

He appears next to someone with a "swish", slaps the person in the face with a "whoosh" and runs away. Whether he can kill someone is another matter, but this slap is enough to keep the person fixed in place for a long time.

There is also the chief lecturer of the Hanging Temple. He is at the sixth level of the Buddhist sect, the Infinite Realm. He can absorb the earth's energy and transform it into his own defense. Others at the sixth level find it difficult to break his defense.

It can be said that each sixth realm has its own mysteries, but all of them rely too much on the mysteries of the sixth realm and ignore the fact that they can also learn other abilities.

Gongsun Ce opened the Word Spirit·Evolution of Heaven, and took the gentleman’s unintentional intention as a model, and began to deduce the twenty-three-year cicada.

"In the arid land of the far west, there is a cicada that hides in the mud for twenty-three years. It wakes up only when the ice on the snowy mountains melts and the water arrives. It bathes in the mud and water, dries its wings in the cold wind, and then flies away and shatters the air."

This is the original text describing the twenty-three cicadas. Simply put, practicing this requires constant time to accumulate strength, just like a cicada hiding in the soil.

Until the power is accumulated, it soars into the sky and achieves the sixth level of the Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Realm.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce's eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed. The Word Spirit·Tian Yan was exerted to the extreme by Gongsun Ce.

Suddenly, Gongsun Ce felt something in his heart, and he seemed to have turned into a deep black hole, and began to continuously absorb the surrounding heaven and earth energy.

A visible vortex formed around his body, with rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy flowing in the vortex. That was the Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy that the Master had previously absorbed into the back mountain of the academy.

This rich energy of heaven and earth not only makes it easier for Master's disciples to practice, but also makes it easier for them to complete their own research.

The deeper meaning is to conceal the aura of Master and Li Manman. Haotian's exploration of the sixth realm is a daily behavior.

The Master's aura permeates the world, and Haotian cannot find the Master's specific address even if he tries to investigate.

However, Li Manman could only hide when Haotian was investigating. With this layer of heaven and earth elemental force, Haotian could hardly detect Li Manman's breath.

When the teacher standing by saw this, his expression changed instantly.

He knew very well that Gongsun Ce was experiencing a major breakthrough at this moment, but such a commotion was too big. If Haotian noticed it, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

So, the Master took a deep breath and waved his hand. An invisible force instantly spread out, completely covering up the noise of Gongsun Ce's breakthrough.

At the same time, the Master began to mobilize more energy from heaven and earth to assist Gongsun Ce in achieving a breakthrough.

He flashed and appeared in mid-air, clasping his hands together.

As he moved, the surrounding heaven and earth energy began to rush towards Gongsun Ce's position frantically, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

With the help of the Master, Gongsun Ce's breakthrough process became smoother.

The vortex in his body was spinning faster and faster, and the speed at which he absorbed the elemental energy of heaven and earth was also getting faster and faster.

His body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy from heaven and earth poured into it, it could not satisfy his needs.

As time went by, Gongsun Ce's body began to emanate a peculiar aura, which gradually eroded the surrounding Haotian world, and he forcefully opened up a small world of his own under Haotian's supervision.

The Heavenly Demon Realm is similar to Liu Bai's sword domain, both are self-contained realms that conceal Haotian's detection.

The sense of erosion became stronger and stronger under the Master's perception, as if it was about to cover the entire back mountain of the academy.

Yu Lian sensed that Gongsun Ce was about to break through the Heavenly Demon Realm, her face changed, and then she came to Chen Pipi's residence.

"Master." Yu Lian bowed to the Master, "Mr. Gongsun, are you about to break through to the Heavenly Demon Realm?"

"Yes, he is about to break through the Heavenly Demon Realm."

When the Master saw this, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He knew that Gongsun Ce was now close to the critical point of breakthrough.

This situation reminded the Master of the temple master Chen. There are three unknown places in the world of Evernight: the second floor of the Master's academy, the Hanging Temple of Buddhism and the Zhishou Temple of Taoism.

The abbot Chen is the abbot of Zhishou Temple and also the master of Taoism. He possesses multiple sixth realms: the revelation of Xiling Temple, the boundless distance of the academy, the extinction of Taoism, the immeasurable of Buddhism, and the heavenly demon realm of the magic sect.

It can be said that the master Chen has already learned the sixth realm known in the world of Jiang Ye.

Because of this, he was able to reach the eighth realm in Taoist legends - the realm of purity in his later years.

Ignore the influence of the Haotian world and not be disturbed by the elemental power of heaven and earth.

Before Chen, only the founder of Taoism, the gambler, had ever reached this level.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from around Gongsun Ce's body. Just as this aura was about to leak out, the Master made his move.

The Master simply raised his hand and pressed down, and in an instant, Gongsun Ce's aura belonging to the Heavenly Demon Realm was perfectly restrained three feet in front of Gongsun Ce.

Not long after, Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and calmed down, only to see his master's twelve disciples watching not far away.

It was the first time they saw someone break through the sixth realm. Li Manman and Yu Lian’s breakthroughs were silent and there was no such noise at all.

More importantly, Yu Lian had been absorbing the elemental energy of heaven and earth imperceptibly, whereas Gongsun Ce replenished the elemental energy of heaven and earth that Yu Lian had absorbed in an instant, so there was naturally a difference.

However, Gongsun Ce really needs to thank the Master. The energy of heaven and earth that the Master mobilized is pure enough and it blocked the influence of Haotian.

The Demon Sect's behavior of absorbing the elemental force of heaven and earth into their bodies is naturally different from Haotian's purpose. Therefore, when the Demon Sect practitioners absorb the elemental force of heaven and earth, in addition to being affected by the violent elemental force of heaven and earth, they will also be affected by Haotian.

"Thank you, Master, for protecting me."

The Master heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He knew that Gongsun Ce had successfully broken through the sixth realm, and now he had the ability to form his own realm.

He flashed and appeared beside Gongsun Ce, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, my friend Gongsun, you have successfully broken through the Heavenly Demon Realm!"

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said to the Master, "Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the breakthrough so smoothly."

The Master waved his hand and said, "This is all your own hard work. I just did my little bit."

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "I have to thank Master Yu no matter what. In addition, can you give me a copy of the cultivation methods of the other major forces?"

"This is not difficult. My old bookstore has them all. After dinner, I'll let Yu Lian take you there to see them."

Gongsun Ce nodded. Now that he was here, he would naturally try to see if he could go further. In addition to breaking through the realm of unity between man and nature, he also wanted to cultivate to the Master's ninth realm, the realm of no rules.

Of course, you can also settle for the second best and achieve the eighth level of purity.

However, to achieve the eighth realm, one needs to understand the essence of the cultivation methods of other major forces, and at least be as proficient in the remaining sixth realms as the master of the temple.

If possible, Gongsun Ce still hopes to obtain all the power of the seventh realm and further advance his pure realm.

In order to ignore the influence of Haotian and the Yuanli of Heaven and Earth, one must first understand these things so as to find out how to ignore them.

"Since you're here, come over and recognize my face."

The Master waved his hand, and his twelve disciples gathered around him. The Master introduced their names one by one, "The eldest disciple Li Manman, the second disciple Jun Mo, and the third disciple Yu Lian, you already know them.

The fourth child, Fan Yue, is proficient in talismans, the fifth child, Song Qian, is a chess player, the sixth child, a blacksmith, the seventh child, Mu You, is good at formations, the eighth child, Bei Gong Wei Yang, is a musician, the ninth child, is also a chess player, the tenth child, Xi Men Bu Huo, is a musician, the eleventh child, Wang Chi, is a doctor, and the twelfth child, Chen Pi Pi, knows everything. "

"Hello, everyone."

Gongsun Ce sent a message to greet a few people. Among these people, Gongsun Ce was currently interested in the blacksmith.

In Gongsun Ce's impression, he seemed to be able to create a lot of good things, such as the Ming Guang Armor on Xiahou and the Yuan Thirteen Arrows used by Ning Que in the later period.

These creations are made of runes and special materials. Gongsun Ce just happens to be interested in upgrading the Sun-Covering Sword and the Heavenly Question Sword, so he can talk to him about it.

"Meet Mr. Gongsun."*12
Since Gongsun Ce had met Li Manman, Jun Mo and Yu Lian before, Gongsun Ce's identity was not a secret among the twelve of them.

"It's good that we all know each other now." The teacher urged Chen Pipi to serve the dishes. "Pipi, serve the dishes. It's rare for us to get together. Let's just have a meal together."

Soon Chen Pipi brought out a round table and started serving the dishes. This was Gongsun Ce's first grand banquet in the Ever Night world.
