Chapter 125 The sun rises in the east, and I am the only one who is undefeated

Although it is snowing heavily on Luoyan Peak, many masters rushed to the mountain after hearing the news.

Perhaps everyone had foreseen the power that the "Five Factions Alliance" would have in the future, so even the leaders of the Kunlun Faction and the Beggars' Sect, which had once been defeated by Chu Yuan, came here shamelessly.

They wanted to try their luck, even though there were only five positions in the alliance among the five factions.

The top four most likely candidates have already been chosen by Shaolin, Wudang, Sun Moon Sect, and Qingcheng Sect.

But isn’t there still one spot left for everyone to fight for?

Until the last moment, no one knows who will get this position.

Seeing that Chu Yuan and his team built a stone house to avoid the biting wind and snow on the top of the mountain, others also followed their example and built stone houses.

However, they did not have Chu Yuan's swordsmanship, which could cut boulders into neat strips. They could only use broken stones to build stone walls, which were less than four feet high and could barely be used to withstand the wind and snow.

Although the effect is not great, it is better than nothing.

Even Master Jin Guang and Taoist Master Song Wen from the Emei Sect came. When they entered the stone house and greeted Chu Yuan, they were kept by Chu Yuan.

Although the stone house is only about ten square meters, it can barely accommodate two more people.

"Master Jin Guang, I didn't expect that you from the Emei Sect would also join in the fun."

Chu Yuan said to Master Jin Guang, the leader of the Emei Sect who had just sat down.

"Master Chu, the "Five Sects Alliance" plan you proposed is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all sects. We in the Emei Sect naturally cannot miss it."

Master Jin Guang said.

"That's right, Taoist Priest Chu. There are many masters at this martial arts conference. Although our Emei Sect has a slim chance of winning, we will definitely give it a try."

Taoist Master Songwen also said.

"It's good to come. Give it a try. What if you win?"

Chu Yuan said.

However, ever since Feng Qingyang showed up, he was very sure that the fifth spot to join the Five Sects Alliance had almost been determined, and that was the Five Mountains Sect.

"Master Chu, thank you for your kindness. However, this martial arts conference has attracted the attention of the entire martial arts world. Many martial artists have come to the foot of Mount Hua to watch. Even if we lose the fight, it will be worth it just to gain face in front of so many fellow martial artists."

Master Jin Guang said.

He knew very well that according to the relationship between Emei Sect and Qingcheng Sect, the reason why Chu Yuan did not notify Emei Sect was probably because he was not optimistic that Emei Sect could make it into the top five.

In fact, not only Chu Yuan was not optimistic about the Emei Sect, but even they themselves were not optimistic about the Emei Sect, but they still came.

“It’s best to have this idea.”

Chu Yuan nodded.

Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Lower your expected goals a little bit so that you won’t feel lost because of the huge blow after failure.

The Emei Sect and the Qingcheng Sect are on good terms, so if anything really happens in the future, they will definitely help the Emei Sect.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had stayed on Luoyan Peak for two days. Fortunately, Chu Yuan and his friends had a stone house to protect them from the biting cold wind, so they were hardly affected.

Many people could only use low stone walls built with rubble and fires to barely resist the wind and snow.

Fortunately, the snow and wind didn’t continue these two days.

It was intermittent, but by midnight yesterday morning, it had completely stopped.

But this morning, a golden hue appeared on the horizon; that was the light of the sun.

Everyone thought the weather would clear up today, but under this golden sky, it started snowing again, but not heavily.

Chu Yuan finished a night of meditation, and ate some dry food he had brought with everyone who had woken up. He walked out to take a look, and saw that in just two days, nearly thirty people had gathered at the top of Luoyan Peak.

There are people like Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan who just came here to watch the fun.

Or they were brought up by their elders to broaden their horizons, like Qu Feiyan and Lin Pingzhi.

But most people just want to come up and take part in the competition, thinking that there is a chance for them to compete for the chance to form an alliance of five factions.

If the wind and snow hadn't stopped, there would probably be even more people on Luoyan Peak.

After walking out, Chu Yuan also saw Master Fang Zheng from Shaolin Temple and Taoist Master Chongxu from Wudang Sect. He didn't know when they went up the mountain.

Especially beside Taoist Chongxu, Chu Yuan also saw a familiar-looking sloppy old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff meditating in the wind and snow.

"Senior Zhang, you are here too..."

Chu Yuan walked up to Taoist Chongxu and the sloppy old Taoist and said with a look of surprise.

This sloppy old Taoist was none other than Zhang Sanfeng, whom Chu Yuan had met once before.

"Just call me old Taoist Zhang Sloppy, no need to call me old Taoist Senior."

Seeing Chu Yuan, Zhang Laita stood up and smiled.

"I have heard about how Chongxu, the junior, and Shaolin's useless junior, joined forces with other sects' masters to attack Qingcheng Sect. This is because Shaolin and Wudang let Qingcheng down. I have already reprimanded them on the way. If you are not satisfied, you can reprimand them as much as you want. I will never interfere."

Zhang Laita pointed at Taoist Chongxu and the Shaolin abbot Fang Zhengdao who was not far away.

Taoist Master Chongxu, who was the target of Zhang Laita's scolding, was like a junior despite his old age. No matter what Zhang Laita said, he could only nod.

He met his own master on his way to Mount Hua.

The same was true for Fang Zheng who was not far away. Given Zhang Sanfeng's seniority and fame, he could not retort when someone said that he was an incompetent junior.

Because Zhang Sanfeng is not only the founder of the Wudang Sect, but also has some connections with the Shaolin Temple.

"Senior Zhang is thoughtful, but the matter has already passed."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

He was a little curious because Zhang Sanfeng said that he would not live long.

Moreover, the activity only lasts for a year or so in total.

Now that Zhang Sanfeng appears here, does it mean that he is ready to take action personally on behalf of the Wudang Sect?
"You are indeed quite good. It is nice to see you again. I can see that your innate vitality is much more abundant than before. It seems that you have broken the limit of mortal lifespan."

Zhang Sloppy was looking at Chu Yuan, then he walked around Chu Yuan and said.

Chongxu was standing nearby, surprised that his ancestor actually knew Chu Yuan. After hearing what his ancestor said, he asked curiously, "Ancestor, what is the limit of lifespan?"

Zhang Sanfeng said: "There is a limit to the lifespan of mortals. Even if you take good care of yourself and practice health preservation techniques, your lifespan will not exceed 120. Breaking the lifespan limit means breaking the lifespan limit of mortals and living to 150. Even your ancestor, the old Taoist priest, has no limit of more than 150."

Taoist Chongxu was confused and said, "But Master, it has been more than 200 years since Wudang was founded. Aren't you still alive?"

Zhang Sanfeng said: "I just used some tricks to survive."

Chu Yuan's heart moved. He remembered what Zhang Sanfeng said when he met him before. The trick he used was to sleep for a long time and only wake up once every ten or twenty to thirty years.

And every time I wake up, I can only walk freely in the world for a year or so.

"How did you figure this out, senior?"

Chu Yuan asked curiously.

He achieved all this after opening up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian shortly before his retreat.

"This is all because of your innate vitality, which is much stronger than the last time we met. You should know that it is normal for ordinary people's innate vitality to increase."

Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Yes, I just went into seclusion not long ago, and I just happened to open up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. After that, I felt relaxed all over, as if I was floating in the air."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"That is indeed breaking the limit of lifespan, and to break the limit of lifespan, one must open up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded again.

"My dear Chu, may I ask how you opened up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian?"

Zhang Sanfeng asked Chu Yuan again.

"Of course you can. There's nothing to hide. Just use the internal force in your Dantian and Qi Hai to attack with all your strength, and then open the acupuncture points step by step."

Chu Yuan explained.

"You opened it directly with your inner strength? You opened it all with just your inner strength?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked a little surprised.

"good."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Chu Yuan with a complicated look for a moment.

It is said that he opened up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian when he was 105 years old, and he also refined a kind of elixir called "Eight Treasures Purple Gold Ingot" to assist him in successfully opening up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.

Chu Yuan is so young, but he has opened up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian without using any external force and broke the limit of his lifespan. You can imagine how deep his internal strength is.

Zhang Sanfeng originally wanted to ask how deep Chu Yuan's internal strength was.

But after thinking about it, he didn't ask, fearing that Chu Yuan would hit him. "Oh, senior, my internal strength in Dantian Qihai has reached its limit, and now I can't increase my internal strength by practicing. I want to ask you, how can I break this situation?"

Then Chu Yuan thought of something and asked Zhang Sanfeng for advice.

After all, the chance to meet Zhang Sanfeng, a martial arts master, is rare. If you don't ask for advice now, you may miss it forever.

Just like Feng Qingyang's guidance in the past two days, he benefited a lot in swordsmanship.

At least I know how much I have achieved in swordsmanship, and I also know where I should work towards in the future.

Zhang Sanfeng:......

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan took the initiative to mention it even though he didn't ask.

At the same time, he finally understood in his heart, no wonder Chu Yuan, at the age of early thirties, could open up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian solely by relying on his own internal strength. It turned out that his internal strength was so strong that it filled up the Dantian Qi sea.

Zhang Sanfeng did not answer, and just when Chu Yuan felt strange.

Zhang Sanfeng said to Chu Yuan, "My dear Chu, I can't give you any advice on this question, because I have never encountered such a question. Although I want to answer your question, I am really powerless. Logically speaking, the space in the Dantian Qi Sea has no limit and is endless. It cannot be filled with internal force."

In fact, he also had the feeling of his Dantian being filled with internal energy, but the time was very short and fleeting, so short that he almost forgot about it.

That was when he was almost 140 years old. He was about to reach the limit of his lifespan again and was already thinking about how to prolong his lifespan.

Although he later found a way to prolong his life by sleeping, that required consuming the internal energy in his Dantian Qi Sea to continuously maintain the vitality of the body and minimize the consumption of his essence, energy and spirit.

From then on, the internal force in his Dantian Qi Sea has been in a process of continuous decline, so he has no worries about Chu Yuan at all.

"It is the junior who is being presumptuous."

Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng was unable to give him any advice on this issue, Chu Yuan looked a little embarrassed.

"By the way, Senior Zhang, are you going to take action on behalf of the Wudang Sect this time?"

Chu Yuan asked Zhang Sanfeng.

"Your Five Sects Alliance is a good way to avoid conflicts in the martial arts world, but I am worried about leaving this matter to the younger generation. It just so happens that I don't have many years left to live. Living a few more decades is just a waste of time. There are so many masters coming to participate in this conference this time. I can compete with these masters before I die. This life will not be in vain."

Zhang Sanfeng said.

Chu Yuan and Zhang Sanfeng had a drink together once. Facing this martial arts senior, Chu Yuan honestly didn't want the other person to die.

But he hadn't said his words of persuasion yet.

Zhang Sanfeng continued, "But the name of this martial arts conference is too common and ugly. How about changing the name?"

Chu Yuan knew that Zhang Sanfeng had made up his mind and didn't want him to say anything to persuade him, so he could only give up and say, "A name is just a title. Senior Zhang, you can choose whatever title you think is better. It all depends on your wishes."

"Then I won't be polite. With so many masters gathered together on Mount Hua, I think we should call it 'Swordsmanship Contest on Mount Hua'?" Zhang Sanfeng continued, "Before my time, there were two swordsmanship contests on Mount Hua. Unfortunately, I was not born in the same era as those masters. I wish I could fight with them, so I have only heard about this. If I could participate in a 'Swordsmanship Contest on Mount Hua' in my lifetime, I would die without regrets."

Chu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "According to what you said, this competition is called "Sword Contest on Mount Huashan."

This can be regarded as Zhang Sanfeng's last wish. For such a respected old senior, it is natural to agree to it.

"Ancestor..."

Upon hearing that Zhang Sanfeng would pass away after participating in this battle, Taoist Chongxu, who had been very happy, suddenly looked sad. He wanted to persuade Zhang Sanfeng.

Compared to participating in a "Huashan Sword Contest" and helping the Wudang Sect win and become one of the five sects in the alliance, he felt that as long as his ancestor was alive, he would be a living auspicious immortal, and would be of the greatest benefit to the Wudang Sect.

"Don't persuade me. I know what's going on. I've lived for 256 years, which is long enough."

Zhang Sanfeng said in a firm tone.

Seeing his own ancestor say this, Taoist Chongxu didn't know what to say!
Seeing that Chu Yuan and Zhang Sanfeng had finished their conversation, Master Fang Zheng came over and said, "Master Chu, almost everyone has arrived. When do you think the competition will start?"

Chu Yuan said: "According to Senior Zhang's opinion, this "Martial Arts Conference" will be changed to "Huashan Sword Contest". As for when it will start, let's wait a little longer. There is still one person who hasn't arrived yet. It won't be too late to start after he arrives."

Master Fang Zheng glanced at Luoyan Peak and said with a look of sudden realization, "The man that Taoist Master Chu was talking about is Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, right?"

"No need to wait, the leader is already here!"

As soon as Master Fang Zheng finished speaking, a red figure came out from the east side of Luoyan Peak, which was very steep and where it was difficult for a bird to stand. With the help of his toes, he leaped up to a height of sixty to seventy feet, and with a skill that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, he came straight to the top of Luoyan Peak like an immortal flying in the air.

When Dongfang Bubai appeared, he was still nearly a hundred feet away from everyone and was a little blurry in everyone's sight.

As soon as he finished speaking, after just a few rises and falls, they were already at the top of Luoyan Peak.

When Dongfang Bubai soared into the sky and landed on the top of Luoyan Peak, the golden sun appeared behind him in the wind and snow, which was so dazzling that everyone on the top of the peak who was looking at him could not help but close their eyes slightly.

"The sun rises in the east, and I am the only one who is undefeated. Whether it is the martial arts conference or the Huashan sword contest, how can I, the Invincible East, be absent?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed in the same voice as the woman.

The people on Luoyan Peak suddenly came to their senses after hearing Dongfang Bubai's words. They remembered that Dongfang Bubai did not come from the mountain road on the top of the mountain, but climbed up the mountain from the east side of Luoyan Peak with his peerless lightness skills.

Some of them also noticed that when Dongfang Bubai climbed the mountain, he stepped on the ground to gain leverage and did not leave any footprints on the snow.

"Treading on the snow leaves no trace!"

"Flying through the air!"

"No wonder the martial arts world says that Dongfang Bubai is the best in the world. This Qinggong alone is worthy of the reputation."

Everyone was talking about it.

"Brother Dongfang's Qinggong has become stronger again!"

Chu Yuan sighed.

He remembered that when he first met Dongfang Bubai on Mount Hua, Dongfang Bubai also used Qinggong to rush up the mountain. At that time, he could jump four or five meters, which left a deep impression on Chu Yuan.

This time, Dongfang Bubai was able to jump six or seven feet.

In his previous life, Dongfang Bubai could cross a distance of six or seven stories with one leap, which was truly terrifying.

"Dad, let's forget it. Don't seek revenge on Uncle Dongfang!"

Ren Yingying, Ren Woxing and others had also walked out of the stone house. When she saw Dongfang Bubai's display of lightness skills, she looked worriedly at her father Ren Woxing.

She was almost certain that her father was no match for Dongfang Bubai, and she was afraid that her father would die at the hands of Dongfang Bubai after failing in his revenge.

"No matter how powerful the old thief Dongfang is, I must avenge him."

Ren Woxing sneered.

Seeing her father being so stubborn, Ren Yingying felt helpless.

"One is undefeated, the other seeks defeat. This leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect has some of the demeanor of that Sword Demon Senior."

Feng Qingyang looked at Dongfang Bubai not far away and said.

"Uncle Grandmaster, how powerful do you think the leader of the Sun Moon Sect is in martial arts?"

Linghu Chong couldn't help but ask Feng Qingyang.

"Very high, very high. In addition to his profound Qinggong skills, his strength is enough to rank among the top four in Luoyan Peak. As for how strong he is, we will know after fighting him."

Feng Qingyang said.

"Uncle Grandmaster, you said that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills are so high that he can be ranked in the top four? I know the top four people. In addition to you, there is also that Taoist Chu and this Dongfang Bubai. But there are only three of them. Who else is qualified to be ranked in the top four?"

Linghu Chong was puzzled.

"Look at that sloppy old Taoist priest from the Wudang Sect. He is also a master. His strength is stronger than any old Taoist priest from the Wudang Mountains that this old man has ever seen. Even I am not completely sure that I can defeat him."

Feng Qingyang said.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan followed Feng Qingyang's gaze and saw the sloppy old Taoist priest who was wearing a thin, worn Taoist robe and looked dirty and filthy on the snowy Luoyan Peak.

"Does Wudang Sect have such a master?"

Linghu Chong exclaimed.

"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world. There are always people who are better than you. Who knows what kind of masters are hidden in this world?"

Feng Qingyang said.

Having said that, he was actually wondering why the Wudang Sect was hiding a sloppy old Taoist with such powerful strength.

The Wudang sect does have many powerful veterans, but logically speaking they shouldn't be this strong.

unless……

"Since Brother Dongfang has arrived, let's start the "Huashan Sword Contest". This time, it will not be a one-on-one fight. All the masters who are interested in participating will fight together. The five remaining winning sects will become members of the Five Sects Alliance in the future."

Chu Yuan loudly announced the rules of the competition.

It's too troublesome to compare them one by one.

It would be better for them to just fight together, and the five remaining winning sects would become members of the future Five Factions Alliance.

"Since the Huashan Sword Contest is being held on Huashan, how can I be absent?"

As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, a green figure with a familiar voice performed Qinggong in the wind and snow at an extremely fast speed. In a few blinks of an eye, he arrived in front of everyone.

Chu Yuan looked closely and found this person.

It was Yue Buqun, whose right hand tendons had been cut by him and whose sword skills had been ruined!
