404: C404 nine tenacity

C404 nine tenacity

Without damaging the stone slab's surface, an inscription was carved into it. This method was not something that Yang Junshan could do, and it was not even something that the Heaven Shaking Sect's experts could do. Otherwise, this stone tablet wouldn't have been able to stand at the Heaven Shaking Peak for thousands of years without anyone knowing the secret behind it.

Yang Junshan carefully dipped a fine grindstone into the Spirit Spring Water and polished the stone with it. The stone powder was continuously washed away by the Spirit Spring Water, and the stone slowly became thinner until a few indentations appeared on the stone.

Yang Junshan was overjoyed, but his hands were more meticulous. Every time he grinded some rock powder, he would use the spirit spring water to wash it again and again, for fear of breaking the secret hidden in the stone slab.

After half a day, the three feet wide and two feet and a half long stone board in his hand had been worn down to half its original thickness. The secret hidden in it finally appeared in front of Yang Junshan.

This half of the stone board had about a thousand words on it, while the other half had about three thousand words. In addition, there were three simple diagrams that marked out the routes for the circulation of spiritual energy as well as the things to take note of.

Seeing that everything in this half of the stone board was still in good condition, Yang Junshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the remaining half of the stone board.

Following the same pattern, the other half of the stone slab was also revealed under Yang Junshan's meticulous grinding. It was the same with the other 1,000 words and 3,000 words, and there were also 3 different sculptures.

Yang Junshan put the two pieces of stone together. The characters on the two halves of the stone were combined into one, the main text was 2,000, the annotation was 6,000, and there were six diagrams as well. Among them, there were five big words, "The Nine Toughness Spell of the Mountain"!

"For the Nine Toughness of the Mountain, all efforts fail." The name of this inheritance did not seem auspicious!

As this thought flashed through Yang Junshan's mind, he saw the words of the six thousand notes written beside the text's two thousand characters: "Cultivating is like moving against the current and retreating against the current, but also like falling short of the Nine Toughness Technique. Cultivating this art should be seen by the younger generation of the future generation; one must not be complacent and stop; the world is big, but the river is deep, and the land is poor."

The elder who had inscribed this skill on the stone slab was truly bold!

In his previous life, he had only occasionally heard from a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect that the cultivation technique recorded on the stone tablet was the same as the [Earth Shaking Art]. His face was filled with regret and unwillingness, but he didn't explain the more specific details, and judging from his current expression, he didn't seem to be particularly clear about it.

However, there was one thing without a doubt. That was, the grade of the Qi Method hidden within the stone board must be higher than the « Five Earth Treasured Arts ». And the so called line of descent was the extension of the « Five Earth Treasure Arts » from the former's body.

Yang Junshan carefully studied it and found that the contents were indeed related to the [Wutu Spiritual Art]. However, when it came to the profoundness and profundity, it was several times better than the [Wutu Spiritual Art]. The two were like the difference between heaven and earth.

The [Penta-Earth Treasure Art] itself was a low-grade treasure. If the [Penta-Earth Treasure Art] originated from the [Mountain Nine Toughness Technique], then what rank should the latter be at? A mid-grade treasure art, a high-grade treasure art, or perhaps even higher …

Yang Junshan had spent more than half a month studying this manual in the secret chamber. Even if he had six thousand notes and six pictures to clarify his doubts, he still wouldn't dare to say that he had studied this manual thoroughly. He could only say that he understood what it meant on the surface, but the deeper meaning was perhaps that it was influenced by his own cultivation and experience.

However, at least after mastering the entire technique, Yang Junshan was already able to start practicing it. Moreover, because the Wutu Spiritual Art was originally derived from the《 Mountain Nine Toughness Secret Art》, practicing it directly would not result in a conflict with the former. Furthermore, it would allow him to easily convert the Wutu Earth Spiritual Energy he cultivated into the source Spiritual Energy of the latter.

The essence energy in his dantian was being compressed time and time again. Originally, Yang Junshan had accumulated a lot after reaching the Great Perfection Stage, but after the transformation, he almost doubted that his cultivation had been reduced from the Great Perfection Stage.

Yang Junshan had only spent half a month studying the 'Nine Toughness Spell', and it hadn't even taken two months to convert it into a martial art. Therefore, this time could be considered as extremely short.

Originally, Yang Junshan had been proud and confident due to the accumulation of his cultivation base. However, after he had converted all the spiritual energy in his body, he realized that he was a frog in the well, and there was not even a single trace of Essence Qi left in his dantian. From this, didn't it mean that Yang Junshan would have to spend at least ten times more time to catch up to the progress of the [Wutu Spiritual Art]?

For a moment, Yang Junshan even regretted cultivating the "Nine Toughness Technique for the Mountain". He was hesitating about whether he should switch back to the "Wutu Earth Spiritual Art".

One must know that due to the strong and heavy spiritual energy, the cultivation speed of the [Wutu Earth Spiritual Art] was extremely slow. If the cultivation speed were ten times slower according to the < Mountain Nine Toughness Method >, then when would Yang Junshan be able to advance to the Mortal Realm?

It took Yang Junshan another month to try to cultivate the《 Nine Toughness Secret Art》. He let out a helpless sigh as he observed the trace of Essence Qi in his Dantian. Although the pace of cultivation wasn't ten times slower than before, it was still three to five times slower. After all, the absorption efficiency of the《 Nine Toughness Secret Arts》 was also several times greater than that of the《 Wutu Spiritual Art》.

However, the spiritual energy supplied by half of the spiritual veins in the Western Mountain's Spirit Origin was clearly unable to satisfy the full circulation of the < Nine-Toughness Mantra >.

Inadvertently, he remembered that day in the stone room on the Heaven-Shaking Peak, because of the supply of the entire Heaven-Shaking Peak's Spirit River, the dense spiritual energy there seemed to condense into a flowing liquid. Perhaps there was only that place which was suitable for the cultivation of the《 Mountain Nine Toughness Spell》, if he were to cultivate there, Yang Junshan would definitely be like a fish in water, and he wouldn't die from fatigue after just two months of cultivation.

Yang Junshan felt a sense of urgency as he slowly cultivated the [Nine Bones Formula]. He initially wanted to spend more time on it, but the situation in Mengyu County changed drastically in a short time, forcing him to be called out from seclusion.

"What? The Heaven Shaking Sect was defeated and the Desolate Sand Town was lost?"

Yang Junshan's face was filled with shock when he heard the news, "What's going on? Could it be that the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect have sent another cultivator to assist them?"

Han Xiusheng said helplessly, "No. According to the news from Yao and Zhang Prefectures, the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect have concerns too. They do not dare to focus all their energy on fighting for Mengyu County."

"Is it because of the other sects in the two counties?"

Han Xiusheng nodded and said, "That's right, Zhang County and Yao County are the two narrowest counties in the entire Yuzhou. There are a total of five sects in two counties, of which the Seven Spirit Sect's area of influence is in Zhang County like the Heavenly Wolf Sect, while the Qi Chu Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect belong to the Yao County, while the Seven Luan Sect crosses the border between the two counties."0

However, after the collapse of the Heaven Shaking Peak, the war against Mengyu County was fought over by the other three sects, but the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Spirit Opening Sect had joined hands to block it. This has also caused dissatisfaction among the other three sects, and today, Lang and Kai Ling have already focused more than half of their energy on the south to guard against the other three sects. It can be said that the power that has invaded Mengyu County has reached the limit of the two sects' ability to draw out energy.

After listening to Han Xiusheng's explanation about the situation of Zhang County and Yao County, he still didn't talk about the reason why the town was lost. Yang Junshan was a bit irritated and asked, "Since that's the case, then the two sides should continue to form a saw at the border. How could the town be lost so quickly?"

It's the Tian Clan. The Prominent Class Tian Clan of the Desolate Sand Town suddenly turned hostile when the two sides were in a stalemate, causing the Heaven Shaking Sect to be defeated and the two teams of Dream Yoga Guards to be annihilated. It's said that only the eldest disciple of Chen Ji, Song Wei, escaped.

The two teams of Dream Guards had been used up to a certain extent. To some extent, they could even be considered to be two cultivators in the realms. Yet, they were broken just like that!

Han Xiusheng continued, "That Tian Zhengwang claimed that he was an outer disciple of the Opening Spirit Sect to lead his family back to the Opening Spirit Sect. From now on, Desolate Sand Town will be under their control."

Yang Junshan frowned and said, "Where is the Heavenly Wolf School? Don't tell me the Heavenly Wolf School is just watching as the Sandstorm Town falls into the hands of the Opening Spirit Sect?"

Han Xiusheng thought for a moment and said, "There is another piece of news from the Desolate Mountain Town. Since the incident ended too quickly, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what happened today."

Seeing Yang Junshan looking at him, Han Xiusheng said, "According to the news that I received from an informant in Desolate Mountain Town, it is said that there was suddenly a massive explosion of spiritual energy in the defensive base yesterday. It is suspected that there was a battle between them, but the spiritual energy fluctuation soon disappeared.

Yang Junshan had a sudden flash of understanding, "Like I said, these two sects can't act alone. Since the Opening Spirit Sect set up a chess piece in the town, the Heavenly Wolf Sect can't remain indifferent. It's just that the Opening Spirit Sect succeeded, and the Heavenly Wolf Sect's chess piece was discovered and exterminated by the Ning Family!"

"Xiaoshan, with the fall of Wasteland Sand Town, the Wilderness Town has basically cut off all ties with the county, and the neighboring Wasteland Town is going to face a fight soon. Then, it will be our Wasteland Town's turn, your father has been in closed-door training, and we, the Yang family, have been working in seclusion for a long time, waiting for you and your father to make a decision on what to do in the following situation."
