Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 242: God's Origin Rebellion
The next day, Murong Jiu went back to manage the family business and held a family meeting.

So Lu Ping was the only one left at home.

I slept until I woke up naturally, and just as I got up in the afternoon, a guest came to my door.

"Senior Yan Tuolong?"

"Let me guess, you didn't come here to have tea with me, did you?"

Yan Tuolong's expression was serious and earnest, and it was obvious that he had something important to do.

"I have something very important to inform everyone, but I couldn't wait for Yanwen to come back from the Baiwu Association, and I don't know where Qiao Rulai ran off to, so I had to come to you to discuss it."

Lu Ping asked curiously, "Tell me, have you found the whereabouts of the Suzaku God?"

"You guessed right, there is indeed a clue."

Yan Tuolong hunched his back and said, "After returning home, I looked up all the data on the changes that occurred in various places after the turbulence in the earth's atmosphere in Shenzhou and the fall of Zhuque."

"I listed all the people and things that might be related to it, and after screening them one by one, I locked on the place with the greatest possibility. Guess where it is?"

"...Tianyun Mountain?"

Yan Tuolong was shocked: "How do you know?"

"Of course I guessed."

Yan Tuolong was puzzled and scratched his head and said, "I was not sure at first, but since even you think so, it seems that my intuition should be correct."

Well, you were just guessing...

"Even if, as we think, the Wind and Cloud Monument was really evolved from the 'Suzaku God', it doesn't seem to have any 'symptoms' like the 'essence' and 'qi'. How can we prescribe the right remedy?"

It is not difficult to lock on to a target, just make a bold assumption. The difficult part is the careful verification afterwards.

"In fact, in my opinion, its 'illness' is the most serious of the three."

Lu Ping immediately understood what Yan Tuolong meant.

"Senior, what you mean is that the appearance of the 'Wind and Cloud Monument' is the prescription that the Suzaku 'Divine Source' prescribed for itself. Because its problem is too serious, it has to show up every twenty years and 'get medicine' from the masters in the martial arts world?"

This is similar to the operation of Qi Tian Shou Jia, both of which use the Fengyun Monument to borrow the inner strength of martial arts masters to prolong life.

"Eh?? Is that what I meant?"

Yan Tuolong was dumbfounded.

I just said it based on my intuition without thinking about the reasons behind it.

But this statement...

"You mean, the operation of 'leaving your name on the Wind and Cloud Monument' is actually a spell in the form of a contract?"

Lu Ping nodded: "Yes, you are quite familiar with magic, so I want to ask, is there such magic in the world?"

"That's true... If this guess is true, then everything makes sense."

For a moment, Yan Tuolong felt as if the truth had been solved, but when he turned around and saw Lu Ping's calm face, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The answer that I spent several days pondering over was already predicted by others, and it was more comprehensive than I thought!
Is this what is called genius?
That amazing and brilliant attitude is exactly the same as when I first met Yanwen!

Lu Ping felt a little guilty when Yan Tuolong stared at him.

"Speaking of which, from what we know so far, Suzaku's 'essence and blood' and 'luck' are almost all dead things. Why would its 'divine source' alone show this kind of 'self-salvation' behavior?"

Yan Tuolong paced and thought for a while, then said, "Among the three elements of 'essence, energy and spirit', 'spirit' is the supreme commander of life activities, including soul, spirit, will, intention, thought, consideration and wisdom."

"The Vermillion Bird was originally a divine animal. It's not surprising that its 'divine' developed an independent consciousness after it was separated."

"Moreover, 'essence blood' and 'luck' are not 'dead things'. Aren't they bound to the Suzaku Dynasty and Hell Rock respectively to prolong their existence?"

That makes some sense…

"The wind and cloud monument has ended, which means that the 'divine source' has received the medicine. Has its 'disease' been cured?"

Compared to other things, this is the key point.

"I don't know this either. Maybe I can find out after going to Tianyun Mountain to investigate with my own eyes."

"Then without further ado, let's set off now!"

"Alright."

Now that they had an object to investigate, the two of them went out and headed towards Tianyun Mountain.

Now, one month after the battle for the Fengyun Monument ended, Tianyun Mountain has become completely deserted. There are not many people along the way, which makes it convenient for the two to move.

The Fengyun Monument will only rise from the Tianyun Mountain when it is opened. At other times, it has been hidden in the mountain. Now is not the opening time, so the top of the mountain is just a bare piece of flat land without even a few blades of grass.

After the two men climbed up the mountain, they first began to explore the land along the protruding position of the Fengyun Monument. However, as expected, the true appearance of the monument could not be seen by the naked eye.

Lu Ping tried to open his wisdom eyes to see through the clouds, but he could only see ordinary stones.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to find the clues."

If it were so easy to discover, it would not be worthy of its identity as the 'divine source' of the Vermillion Bird.

"Then the only thing left is to use magic to survey. Senior Yan Tuolong, thank you for your help." "Leave it to me!"

Yan Tuolong patted his chest, then he performed a spell with his hands, condensed his energy and gathered his spirit, chanting the incantation: "Five elements transform into energy, energy transforms into the eight trigrams, heaven and earth borrow the law, trace the origin, go!"

After reciting the spell, Yan Tuolong pointed his fingers at the ground, and instantly a blue magic circle appeared in the air.

With the operation of the magic circle, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was slowly injected into Tianyun Mountain, continuously exploring deeper into the ground.

The geological formations of Tianyun Mountain are special, and exploring them consumes a lot of spiritual energy. As time goes by, cold sweat gradually appears on Yan Tuolong's forehead.

After a long time, Yan Tuolong stopped his magic and let out a long breath.

"How about it? Is there any harvest?"

Yan Tuolong hesitated for a moment before replying, "In the beginning, the investigation went smoothly, but as we went deeper, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the magic."

"After about a thousand meters, my magic seemed to encounter a barrier and began to circle in the ground, unable to go any further."

"What is certain is that there is something underneath Tianyun Mountain. It is not an ordinary rock formation."

With this achievement, we can basically conclude that this is indeed a special place.

Lu Ping thought for a moment and suddenly asked another question.

"Senior Yan Tuolong, among the demonic families, are there any records about the 'Heaven-Rebellious Clan'?"

"The traitors? Why are you asking this?"

Yan Tuolong looked at Lu Ping and pondered for a few seconds, vaguely guessing his thoughts: "You are not going to say that the appearance of the Wind and Cloud Monument is related to the Rebel Heaven Clan, right?"

Lu Ping nodded.

Yan Tuolong was immediately confused: "Were we just speculating that the Wind and Cloud Monument was related to the divine origin of the Vermillion Bird? How come it has become related to the Rebel Heaven Clan now? Isn't your thinking too far-fetched?"

After complaining, Yan Tuolong shared the information he knew about the rebel tribe.

"The Heaven-Rebelling Clan, no one knows where they came from. We only know that the people in this clan have a few common characteristics: white hair and skin, super strength, super long lifespan, congenital diseases, and difficulty in giving birth to offspring."

"Why do you think that the Wind and Cloud Monument is connected to the Rebels?"

"It's just a guess."

Lu Ping asked back: "Senior Yan Tuolong, what do you think is the most active intelligent life in the world?"

"Is it... human?"

Just as I thought!

Lu Ping smiled as if he had met a kindred spirit: "Now we know that blood essence is a tangible energy, which is bound to the equally tangible Hell Rock; luck is an intangible energy, which chooses to attach itself to the dynasty."

"The Divine Source is in charge of the activities of living things. According to this logic, it should also look for an intelligent life with strong mobility. Humans are the leaders of all living things, so they should be the first choice."

"The Rebels are a very special lineage among humans. As you just said, the people of this lineage all have long lifespans and strong strength. Aren't they the best parasites?"

Yan Tuolong took a deep breath and said, "So what you mean is that after the Suzaku's divine source was separated, it parasitized on a certain member of the Rebel Heaven Clan, and then in the past few hundred years, it relied on the power of the Rebel Heaven Clan and even the existence of the Wind and Cloud Monument to prolong its life?"

"That's what I meant."

This idea was so outrageous that Yan Tuolong, a man of hundreds of years old, couldn't follow it at all. But after hearing Lu Ping's explanation, he felt that it was possible.

In fact, if Lu Ping did not have the information about Qi Tianshoujia, it would be difficult to think of this connection.

"Do you have evidence?"

Lu Ping chuckled: "I said it was just speculation, how can there be evidence? And we are not here to investigate the case. The most important thing is to make sure whether the problem of the God Source has been solved."

"That makes sense, but we can't even investigate right now, so how can we be sure?"

Yes, how can we be sure? How about hitting the ball straight?

Thinking of this, Lu Ping squatted down and patted the ground under his feet.

"Fengyunbei, Fengyunbei, if you really have a spirit, you should have heard our conversation."

"If my guess is correct, can you show up and see me?"

"Our goal is to ensure long-term peace and stability in the Southern Wulin. Under this premise, if you have a need, such as extending your life span, we can make a deal and help each other. Harmony brings wealth."

After a few words, Tianyun Mountain fell into a long silence.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute...

There was no movement around.

Yan Tuolong felt that Lu Ping must have something wrong with his brain - if he didn't have a problem with his brain, how could he do such a thing as talking to the Fengyun Monument?
Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing, right?
"Lu Ping, let's go..."

Before he could finish his words, something strange happened.

Yan Tuolong suddenly discovered a strange formation under his and Lu Ping's feet, and was greatly shocked.

"Is this... a space transfer formation?"

Before he could react to what was happening, he felt a sudden flash in front of his eyes, and then he found himself in a dark rocky cave.
