Chapter 330: The Path to Grandmaster, No Explanation (asking for monthly ticket)
As the whale fisherman finished speaking, his finger had already landed on Li Guanyi's forehead.

Li Guan was startled and moved his body, using his body skills to try to avoid the move. At the same time, he used the wooden sword with a dragon pattern in his hand to poke the whale fisherman's wrist from bottom to top in an extremely light and swift manner.

The sword blade touched the whale fisherman's wrist, but it was like passing through clouds.

The whale fisherman turned over his five fingers and grabbed Li Guanyi's sword-holding hand.

At this moment, he turned from virtual to real. The ingenuity of this change fully demonstrated the skills of the formation leader. With just a raise of his arm and a throw, Li Guanyi's whole body was dragged up and flew in the air.

"Ha, without a hundred thousand troops, your edge is more than twice as weak."

"This is the weakness of the military formation."

Li Guanyi did not answer. He was not worried that the whale fisherman had any intention of killing him. He just smiled and said, "Senior, do you want to teach me martial arts?"

"What a coincidence. I have been studying swordsmanship for a while and I would like to ask for your guidance."

He raised his hand and swung the sword, using the sword manual left to him by Murong Longtu.

Continuous and undulating.

The whale fisherman's formation changed, and he said with a smile: "The Murong family's swordsmanship is ordinary, but it is still worth watching to have come this far. Come on, I have fought with your great-grandfather several times, and his swordsmanship is not that strong, so watch carefully."

After saying that, he took the straight and smooth wooden stick and attacked Li Guanyi.

The swordplay in his hand was performed continuously. Li Guanyi felt that the swordplay of this formation leader was also extremely mysterious. After a fight, Li Guanyi used all his skills, but was suppressed by the whale fisherman who only held a wooden stick in one hand.

The whale fisherman suddenly shook his wrist, and the sky became darker. Suddenly, there were sounds of swords and guns whistling, and it seemed as if there were thousands of troops. Li Guanyi felt a strong suppression, and then heard a light sigh, and the whale fisherman seemed to have turned into a general.

Wearing heavy armor, riding a strange beast, and holding a long-handled, wide-bladed battlefield weapon, he swung it down at Li Guan with great momentum.

In an instant, Li Guanyi's pupils contracted.

He instinctively took a step back and raised his hand with his five fingers spread out.

The red-gold flame instantly emerged from his palm and condensed into a long sword with golden-red patterns on the sword body. It was the magic weapon, the Chixiao Sword. With the Chixiao Sword in hand, beside Li Guanyi, accompanied by the sound of a low dragon roar, the red dragon's image appeared.

There seemed to be fire exploding all around, surging and blazing. Li Guanyi's dark pupils were stained with light golden flames, becoming indifferent and distant. He swung out with the sword suddenly. His sword skills were exquisite and unparalleled, and his charm was even more powerful.

It was the sword that cut off the destiny of the Dangxiang Kingdom.

【Kill the snake】!
In an instant, the noise around seemed to stop.

The battlefield, weapons, and fighting that Li Guanyi saw around him all dispersed, and everything before seemed to be just an illusion - he was still in that yard, he could hear the birds singing, and the dry June sunlight in the Western Regions fell, shining brightly.

Li Guanyi's hand was on the wooden sword, and he did not draw out the Chixiao sword.

The whale fisherman pointed his finger between his eyebrows.

The hard battle, the fighting, and the battlefield just now seemed like just a dream.

Li Guanyi's eyes were calm, and he asked, "Formation?"

The whale fisherman retracted his finger, looked at it, and said to himself, "The Emperor's swordsmanship is indeed as powerful as the legend says. I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect that you would break the formation."

He remained calm, put his hand behind his back, and said calmly:

"What I just showed was the Wolf King's previous offensive."

"Although you have many tricks, in front of a famous general who has fought on the battlefield for decades and has honed his skills to perfection, having many tricks would only make them look complicated. Among all your skills, only this one trick you created, [Snake Slashing], is worth looking at."

"But the wolf king I simulated is far inferior to the real one."

"If a famous general of the Ninth Heaven leads an army of 100,000, I, Dao Zong, and your great-grandfather will have to stay out of the way. If we step into this battlefield, we will also be at risk of dying on it."

"And if it's a famous general in a war of annihilation..."

The whale fisherman paused and said:

"It is the general trend, and we are invincible."

"You previously led a hundred thousand people, and only one-third of them were capable of fighting. And these could not be compared with the fierce soldiers under the Wolf King who have fought in the war of annihilation for more than two years."

"Your own martial arts skills are not enough."

"With 100,000 brave soldiers under your command, peerless divine weapons in your hands, plus the favorable weather and terrain, and you yourself must have at least a Grandmaster foundation, then you are qualified to stand at this poker table and fight against the top five divine generals in the world."

Li Guanyi said: "May I ask, Senior, how did you become a Grandmaster?"

The whale fisherman said, "It depends on what kind of master you are looking for."

The silver-haired man put his right hand behind his back and stretched out his left hand, picking up a fallen leaf, and said calmly: "If you were an ordinary master, you would have concentrated your will to the extreme and then break through the key point."

"Like condensing clouds into water, and melting water into ice."

"For a foundation like yours, it's just a matter of time and effort."

He moved his fingers slightly, and wisps of water vapor gathered in his hands, turning into clouds. The clouds flowed and condensed into one, then into a puddle, and then into an ice cube. He flicked his fingers and it fell in front of Li Guanyi. The young man grabbed the thing with his palm.

"For example, Ximen Hengrong and Kou Yulie, who are under your command, use the same tactics."

"After breaking through the realm, if you work hard and practice diligently every day, you can at most go one step further and reach the eighth level."

"Don't even think about becoming a Ninth Heaven Grandmaster."

"As for the legend of martial arts, how dare such a mediocre person say these four words?"

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "What about something better?"

The whale fisherman frowned. He had an arrogant personality, but he was also grateful.

Li Guanyi played a great role in Yaoguang's recovery to her current state.

But he was quite displeased with this boy.

This twists the temperament of whale fishermen into a knot.

Although he was extremely unhappy, he said, "This kind of question is a secret that is not passed down by each family and sect. Even within the academy, it will not be announced to everyone. Why should I tell you?"

But after a pause, he turned his head and answered with gritted teeth:
"Practice martial arts and skills to the limit; break through one's own abilities under certain special circumstances, such as the right time and place, such as Gongyang Suwang sitting in the ancient Confucian path for 9981 days, and the Living Buddha of the Western Regions bearing the will of the Living Buddha for a thousand years."

"The old monk in the Middle Earth has broken through the Zen gate."

"All these things are in perfect harmony with the changes of heaven and earth, and the mysteries of the sun, moon, and human hearts. They allow me to break through and gain a glimpse of the myriad laws of the universe..."

The whale fisherman paused, looking at Li Guanyi's thoughtful expression, and said dejectedly:
"I almost forgot that you were also a wanderer when you were little, not much better than a beggar. I guess you can't understand this kind of thing, right?"

Li Guanyi was silent.

Li Guanyi raised his head and said sincerely and seriously:

"I have my aunt's."

“Not a beggar wandering the streets.”

The whale fisherman's foul-mouthed taunting was punctured by a single sentence, and his face turned black: "You!"

He seemed to be about to get angry, but in the end he suppressed it and said:

"Forget it, forget it, I won't recite these things."

He stretched out his finger and said impatiently:
"Unusual aspects of heaven and earth, if you find a suitable opportunity and a corresponding unusual aspect of heaven and earth, and break through accordingly, you will most likely succeed. Finally, if you practice diligently, you may be able to step into the ninth heaven and reach the level of the founders of the major sects. The old madman Chen Chengbi is about to reach this level."

"If there is another opportunity, it will be the level of the six palace masters of the academy."

Li Guanyi asked: "Then how did you break through, senior?"

The whale fisherman looked at Li Guanyi and said, "He is indeed cunning."

Li Guanyi said: "Please tell me, senior."

The whale fisherman was silent for a long time, then said:
"The ways we all break through are different. For example, I mastered all the major formations in the world. In the formation, I defeated my best self. I knew how to use the [Human Mind Breakthrough Pattern], realized the [Infinite Formation], and then broke through."

"Your great-grandfather wielded a sword and traveled the world, fighting hundreds of battles in his lifetime without ever being defeated."

“It’s a breakthrough.”

"Tao Zong, a scholar of heaven and man, integrated the changes in the world into a volume of "Huangji Jingshi Shu", and thus broke through. Zhang Ziyong, a guest in green robe, because of his immortal obsession, refined the indestructible dragon essence and broke through the master level."

"As for Jiang Su..."

The whale fisherman paused. "He led his army to destroy a country. When the military evil spirit reached its peak and the dynasty's fortune was declining, he fought hundreds of battles and became invincible, thus reaching the master level."

"Each of us has a different way of defeating the Grandmaster."

"If you want to reach our level."

"There are only two ways."

"Either, follow our path again; or, go beyond our path and find a path of the same level. Only those who have reached the Grandmaster level in this way can reach the pinnacle of legend."

The whale fisherman stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Guanyi's forehead:

"I will leave the battle formation with myself on you."

"You can enter the inner world with your soul and fight against yourself often. Remember, this is only a means, not an end. When you understand that [I am not myself], you may be able to seize a chance of enlightenment."

"Of course, it's just a slim chance, it may not work."

"All the famous generals in the world are people of extraordinary talent. Those who can make it to the list of divine generals in this chaotic world are people with strong wills and solid martial arts skills. But even among such people, only 30% can step from the sixth level to the seventh level."

"The ninth level of heaven is already in the top ten."

"No one before you can lead you down this path."

The whale fisherman sighed, looked into the distance, and calmed down. He said, "You have learned a lot in your life. You have the true swordsmanship of the sword madman, which has helped you to find your own way. You have also learned several chapters of the Imperial Classics from Dao Zong, and because of Hou Zhongyu's elixir of immortality, you have cultivated Zhang Ziyong's immortal body."

"I am also a young and famous general."

"I thought about it for a long time—"

"If you can take into account the approaches of the five of us and integrate them, and go your own way, then perhaps that is also a way."

Li Guanyi thanked him sincerely.

The whale fisherman said, "After all, I am a playboy and I am not one to settle down. Although I feel a lot of guilt towards that child, I will not stay here forever. If you can become a master, I can feel more at ease."

Li Guanyi thanked him, thought for a moment, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your advice, big brother."

The whale fisherman was about to leave, so Li Guanyi decided not to be awkward with him.

So I thought about fulfilling his wish.

The whale fisherman stared at him with wide eyes, and suddenly became furious:
"What do you mean, Big Brother?!"

"Are you and I of the same generation? And you still call me Big Brother?!"

"You're rude!"

After Li Guanyi fled in a panic, the anger on the whale fisherman's face slowly disappeared. He stood with his hands behind his back, thinking for a long time, and suddenly said, "Senior, you have watched such a long show, it's time for you to come out."

"Or do you want me to pull out your black tortoise image, chop it up, and make soup for you? So that it can nourish you properly?"

There was a rustling sound from the bushes in the corner.

The old Siming laughed dryly and said:
"Haha, brother, how angry are you?"

He was pushed forward.

The old black turtle hid behind the old Siming and used him as a shield to block the whale fishermen.

The whale fisherman said, "I am leaving too. However, the situation in the Western Region may seem stable, but things are turbulent. The Wolf King is leading an army of 100,000. I have to stay out of the way. This kid is only at the sixth level of martial arts, so he is not stable after all."

"In a head-on confrontation, I can't withstand a few moves from the Wolf King."

The sixth level is just a warrior, while the seventh level can be called a master.

The gap between the two seems to be just one level, but it is actually a huge chasm.

Old Siming said: "After all, he is only seventeen years old."

"I didn't expect that you would tell that kid all the methods."

The whale fisherman said, "I think this guy is annoying."

“But his martial arts level and basic means are pretty good. Moreover, for a master like us, although it is difficult, it may not be impossible to succeed…” Old Siming was surprised.

But the silver-haired whale fisherman raised his right hand from behind his back and spread his palm. Suddenly, a sword mark appeared on the finger that was pressing against Li Guanyi's forehead, and bright red blood was flowing slowly.

!!!

Old Sima Ming's expression froze slightly when he saw this.

The whale fisherman said calmly, "Although I didn't dodge, he was able to leave me something with his sword. Given his foundation, he should be proud of himself."

"【Snake Killing】?"

"If this set of sword manuals is completed, it may be passed down to future generations."

The whale fisherman clasped his hands together and his wound healed.

The man's expression finally softened a little.

"Perhaps within three to five years, he will be able to break through the Grandmaster's threshold."

"In that case, I will leave."

"It can finally make me feel at ease."

........................

"The sword defeats all enemies, the Tao gives rise to all laws, the formation leads to no self, immortality and longevity, the army destroys the country..." Li Guanyi murmured to himself, feeling that all five paths were far away, but it seemed possible for him to take them all.

He also vaguely felt that if he took these paths.

I'm afraid I can only reach the ninth heaven and get stuck.

There are people ahead.

Li Guanyi said to himself: "But where is my path?" This question was too mysterious. Li Guanyi's thoughts gradually went astray and he became dazed. June in the Western Regions was extremely hot, and even in the afternoon it made people feel lazy and listless.

Li Guanyi lay down in the shade, with his arms crossed behind his head.

The sky was a little dark, and a dim yellow color gradually spread.

Li Guanyi counted the flowing clouds in the sky.

This one looks like a sheep, and that one looks like a tiger.

Yunjuan Yunshu.

With his eyes slightly closed, he could hear many voices. Yaoguang was earnestly studying the naan from the Western Regions, Shi Dalin and Lei Laomeng were heatedly discussing how to beg the Lord of the Divine Deer to reward them with something.

Anything like saliva, antler scraps, tears, blood, etc. is fine.

Shi Dalin earnestly suggested:
"How about we kneel down and ask her to give us some?"

Lei Laomeng said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by kneeling?!"

He said righteously: "We must build a high platform to worship it!"

"I have ridden a divine dragon and seen a divine deer. When I return to the sect, I will definitely throw away the tablets of my ancestors."

"What kind of experience and ability do you have to be my master?"

The people in the city are living their lives, business is slowly picking up, people are walking back and forth on the streets, and because it is too hot, some people are walking with woven baskets filled with fruits on their heads. The fruit trees in the distance are swaying, and the branches are full of ripe summer fruits.

Xu Tiange was in high spirits and felt refreshed.

The children were enjoying the cool under the fruit trees.

There are children from the Western Regions, as well as people from the Central Plains living in the Western Regions.

Fan Qing is holding discussions every once in a while.

Li Guanyi narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Relax..." He felt inexplicably relaxed in the face of such noisy voices. He felt that he could let go of the matters concerning the realm of martial arts.

Perhaps, such peaceful days are what I am pursuing.

Li Guanyi suddenly thought of this.

He stretched out his hand, looked at the sky through the gaps between his fingers, and said to himself:

"Formation, immortality, swordsmanship..."

"Legends are not my thing, I just hope the seas are calm."

"I only hope that the world will be at peace in my lifetime, that would be the best."

"Is this wish too arrogant?"

Changsun Wuchou had already received a message sent back by flying eagle, which basically said that the alliance was going smoothly.

The next thing that could solve the many problems of Agni City was the lack of generals and archers. Li Guanyi thought about the brave general who was once the best archer general under the Taiping Army, and wondered when to go find him.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "Indeed, it's arrogant."

Li Guanyi was startled, and glanced sideways to see the sunlight setting, a pair of soft pupils, a beautiful creature, whose posture and temperament were all elegant and graceful, with a natural charm.

Yes, it's a beautiful deer.

Li Guanyi smiled lazily and said, "Senior, you should have said something when you came up. Otherwise, it would be scary if you suddenly spoke when others were in a daze."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry to scare you."

"Unfortunately, I can't transform into a human form."

Li Guanyi smiled and teased: "I am not Mr. Siming either."

Old Sima Ming's jokes never go out of style.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said in a gentle voice, "Wish for peace in the world? Such a wish is really too big, and for someone your age, it is indeed a bit arrogant. However, who in the world who can accomplish great things is not a little arrogant?"

"Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains? There is madness in the heart of a young man."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "You are really good at comforting people."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said gently: "But after watching the human world for thousands of years, I feel that there is another meaning."

"As long as there is a spirit in one's heart, an old man with white hair is still a young man."

Li Guanyi said: "Thank you very much."

"However, has your injury improved?"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer moved its ears and said, "Thank you for your care here. It might be better if those children didn't want my saliva or something."

Li Guanyi had a headache and said, "Senior, just don't worry about them."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer asked, “Come to think of it, what exactly was that help I told the Ancient Red Dragon about that day?”

Li Guanyi said, "I want to forge a tripod, but I'm afraid I can't do it now."

He briefly explained, and the Nine-Colored Divine Deer said, "The emperor's divine weapon and unique skills do not collect the luck of the world to gather itself, but to gather the scattered luck of the world and benefit the world. You are a compassionate and good child, unlike that old dragon."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer smiled and said, "I'm here to help you."

Li Guanyi was surprised and thanked him. The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said, "Now that I have not recovered and you have not controlled the Western Regions, my so-called help to you is just a futile attempt. However, I also want to see if I can repay you."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer thought for a moment and said, "You have the royal seal of the Tuyuhun child."

Li Guan nodded and took out the seal of the Tuyuhun king.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer lowered its head, and its gorgeous antlers gently touched the golden royal seal.

Then there was a burst of brilliant light, and a huge divine deer revealed its true form appeared in front of Li Guanyi. Its eyes were peaceful and gentle, and it lowered its head. The antlers of the giant deer touched the royal seal in Li Guanyi's hand, and the golden royal seal suddenly emitted a stream of light.

The power of the Golden King Seal flowed into the body of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer seems to be able to mobilize this kind of luck ability.

She raised her head and flew into the sky, emitting nine-colored divine light in broad daylight.

This place in the Western Region is dry in summer. When the wind blows in the desert, countless hot sands will blow in your face, which is a wonder of the Western Region. As the temperature rises, the river basins that originally converged with ice and frost on the snow-capped mountains after the spring snow melted gradually shrink.

This is also the reason why Batur and other tribes lived near water.

Today, a huge storm rose and approached the city of Agni, but when it approached here, these dim yellow hot sand storms suddenly seemed to lose all power and fell to the ground.

Xu Tiange suddenly discovered that the river basin that had been dried up began to gradually recover.

The plants and trees became more lively.

The farmer disciples were ecstatic!

The sky was azure blue, the grass and water were lush, and the sky was no longer dim, but became clear and distant. The people of Agni City were stunned by this change. They looked up and saw nine colors of light in the azure sky, like a rainbow flying around.

Old Siming raised his head and looked at the sky.

"The Nine-Colored Divine Deer is one of the origins of Buddha's legend."

"Legend has it that refugees from the Western Regions coughed dryly under the scorching sun, the wind blew hot sand and tore their skin, the sun dried up the rivers, and when everything was dead silent, the gods in the sky transformed into nine-colored divine deer and came to the earth."

"It attracted the water from the Snow Mountain Goddess, calmed the wind and sand, and brought life back to the earth."

"The first city in the Western Regions was built by the first people around the sacred deer."

The old Siming narrowed his eyes: "Auspicious..."

"Although the conditions for using this ability are harsh and require a [pious heart], and although the combat ability is ordinary, this is also a natural god-spirit."

The voice of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer was tired but gentle, and it rose in Li Guanyi's heart:
"Try it, kid."

Li Guan raised the Golden King Seal, and the Jiuzhou Cauldron in his body finally roared violently.

Li Guanyi felt that lines appeared on the Jiuzhou Ding. The lines were bright, just like the geomancy map of Jiangnan on the Jiangnan Jiuding. The extra geomancy map of the Western Regions was exactly the core area of ​​Li Guanyi's Agni City at this moment.

Inside Li Guanyi's body, the Nine Provinces Cauldron roared. He pacified the south of the Yangtze River, led an army of 100,000, broke the city of Agni, and pacified the four directions. Within the two ranges, his reputation was extremely high. Li Guanyi closed his eyes and faintly felt that the essence of the Golden King's Seal was improving.

Borrowing the power accumulated by the Demon Sect over hundreds of years.

Within the Jiuzhou Cauldron, the fire of humanity’s destiny was burning fiercely.

Li Guanyi suddenly felt the existence of the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan in a distant place!
Almost instinctively, he tried to mobilize the Golden King Seal and the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan at the same time. At the Nine Cauldrons, the Mohist leader, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the void vibrate. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw golden lines lighting up on the ancient cauldron.

The Tiger King Seal and the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan resonate together!

One is the pillar of luck and light rising into the sky from Jiangnan [Shenzhou], and the other is the nine-colored divine light assisted by the nine-colored divine deer, stretching across a long distance and about to touch. Li Guanyi's aura began to gradually change during this process.

The hearts and thoughts of millions of people converge around this body.

Li Guanyi's own path suddenly became clear in his mind.

His pupils widened, and he seemed to see the real world, the vast Western Regions, Central Plains, Northland, grasslands, Southwest, the whole world was dark, only two areas had turned into flowing light, and red flames shot up into the sky.

Li Guanyi slowly stretched out his hand, and the human destiny of the two places gathered in front of him. In his hand, it seemed to turn into an illusory jade seal. What he had been longing for, struggling for, and unwilling to do along the way was the purpose of practicing martial arts, the purpose of conquering all directions, and the ideal that refused to rest.

With five fingers clenched together, the roar of the people could be heard in my ears.

The nine provinces are stable, the four seas are at peace, the world is unified, and the world is at peace.

Let’s try our hand at repairing the cracks in the sky!
My way is not that of the underworld.

Li Guanyi's energy began to change dramatically.

The whale fisherman who was about to leave Agni City suddenly stopped.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Guanyi:

"This is--"

"Grandmaster's aura?!"

"Has the breakthrough begun?"
