The Villain's Counterattack

Is all Duan Lang needs information?

Does it really matter whether it is or not?

If we ask who in this world has the broadest knowledge and the best information, Duan Lang thinks it is not Indra, the Emperor of Tianmen, nor the Clay Buddha who can hardly protect himself, but the Twelve Scared and Three Smiling Faces who silently pay attention to the world.

Apart from going out to deal with a small poisonous insect and helping Di Er Meng temporarily ease the conflict between the two true energies in his body, he spent the rest of the time communicating with Duan Lang.

What to communicate?

very many.

Duan Lang was not afraid of Xiao Sanxiao in other aspects as well as martial arts. Gradually, they became close friends regardless of age difference. Xiao Sanxiao gained many insights and ideas that Duan Lang had never seen before. In addition to receiving Xiao Sanxiao's true martial arts, Duan Lang also obtained the information about Lingyun Cave that he had been longing for.

Looking at the rough map in his hand, a cold arc appeared on Duan Lang's lips. What belongs to him will eventually be his, and even God can't deny it.

However, the communication between the two was not always smooth and gentle. On the contrary, the cognitive conflict between Duan Lang, who had experienced many worlds, and the longest-lived person in this world was definitely not small. If both of them were not wise men, they would have fought long ago.

With the repeated collision of concepts and knowledge, not only did Xiao Sanxiao's horizons broaden, but Duanlang's realm also continued to rise and his foundation continued to be consolidated.

Duan Lang, who had already reached the peak of the Broken Realm, suddenly found that he seemed not to be best prepared to break through to the Heavenly Being, or his understanding of the Heavenly Being was not yet sufficient and true.

"What is a celestial being? How to break through to the celestial being realm?" Upon hearing Duan Lang's question, Xiao Sanxiao smiled with a faint arc. Although this kid seemed to be knowledgeable, his realm was only Broken and not a celestial being after all. You must know that above the Grandmaster, each realm is a level of heaven. Brokenness is a leap for the Grandmaster, and being Broken to be a celestial being is undoubtedly a huge transformation.

The mythical realm above the gods is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But in Xiao Sanxiao's opinion, breaking is just the beginning, the stage of laying the foundation, and only then can one truly get started.

However, this entry point stumps most people in the world.

Are there no masters in the realm of heaven and man in the world?

This is not the case. There are quite a few masters in the realm of heaven and man in public. Among them, the Immortal God, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, the Speedy Guardian, and the Unruly Madman are all familiar to Duan Lang. Others such as the Nameless Heavenly Sword and the Sword Saint Dugu Jian are also familiar to Duan Lang.

Duan Lang also knew that Xiongba would soon enter this realm, and after him there would be another villain boss who would soon appear, and that was: Jue Wushen of Japan!

Wait, it seems that besides the two Broken Realm masters, Di Er Meng and Nie Feng, and the Myth Realm master Xiao Sanxiao, there is also a Heavenly Realm master: the Second Sword Emperor!

"In martial arts practice, there are three levels: acquired, innate, master, and grand master. These levels are the enlightenment stages. Anyone with a little bit of talent can achieve them." Having said that, Xiao Sanxiao glanced at Duan Lang slightly. The latter didn't care at all. After all, he had already surpassed the grand master level and was no longer a rookie who had just been enlightened.

"The beginning of martial arts is like a baby learning to crawl, proving that this martial artist is not born with any defects and has the potential to stand up, walk, and run during his martial arts journey."

"The true beginning of martial arts is breaking!" Xiao Sanxiao's tone was extremely firm.

"What does it mean to be broken? What is being broken?" Xiao Sanxiao asked, but before Duan Lang could answer, he answered himself: "When a warrior is broken, what is broken are the barriers and shackles."

What shackles? What barriers?

As a master at the peak of the Broken Realm, Duan Lang reacted instantly upon hearing this: "Barriers of the mind, shackles of the body."

Xiao Sanxiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The boy is teachable."

"Ordinary people practice martial arts, like a grass snake growing up, swallowing rats and insects to slowly grow. When it reaches a certain size, it will be bound by its body and unable to move forward. If a grass snake is content with its current state, it will remain a grass snake for the rest of its life. If a grass snake is determined and sheds its skin despite the pain of its body, it can transform into a python."

"This is the Shattered Realm, or the first level of transformation."

"A snake takes five hundred years to become a python, a python takes five hundred years to become an anaconda, an anaconda takes five hundred years to become a dragon, a dragon takes five hundred years to become a chi, a chi takes five hundred years to become a qiong, and a qiong takes five hundred years to become a Yinglong." Xiao Sanxiao continued, "Snakes, pythons, and anacondas are not considered true dragons, let alone half-dragons."

"From a snake to a python, then to an anaconda, this is the practice of breaking the realm. And from an anaconda to a dragon is the way of heaven. It is the key step in creating the dragon bloodline from nothing. This step can be called a step to heaven, and you will become a heavenly being!"

"From Chi to Qiu, we can all be called dragons, and are considered celestial beings. However, their bloodlines are incomplete. Only Yinglong is a true dragon, and is considered a mythical creature. Do you understand?"

Xiao Sanxiao looked at Duan Lang, whose mouth twitched slightly. He nodded and shook his head, then rolled his eyes and said, "It's a very vivid description, but it's as good as saying nothing."

Xiao San laughed heartily and said, "What is a celestial being? Using a human body to control the power of heaven and earth is a celestial being. How do you become a celestial being?"

"Humans possess three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit. Therefore, after breaking free from the shackles of barriers and becoming a celestial being, there are three paths. The first is to have the essence overflow, achieving a celestial being in the sea of ​​horizontal training and essence; the second is to have the energy soar to the sky, achieving a celestial being in the sea of ​​divine power and energy; the third is to achieve a mysterious and profound communication with the gods, achieving a celestial being in the sea of ​​spirits."

"There's no superiority or inferiority among these three, only the depth of their cultivation. Moreover, many celestial beings are not simply beings of essence, energy, and spirit. For example, the immortal god, despite his weak body due to insufficient essence and blood, his true qi cultivation and spiritual realm are among the best among celestial beings."

"Let's talk about Tianjian Wuming. He entered the Celestial Realm through the way of the sword and became a Divine Sea Celestial Realm. After that, his cultivation became deeper and deeper, and he became a Qi Sea Celestial Realm."

"Among the three, the most difficult to achieve is the Henglian Jinghai Tianren. As far as I know..." Xiao Sanxiao paused slightly at this point, thinking of his own son, and then continued: "The Japanese bandit Jue Wushen who invaded the Central Plains twenty years ago was one of this kind."

"He was already a Horizontal Sea Celestial Being twenty years ago?" Duan Lang asked curiously, "If that's true, how did Senior Wuming scare him off back then?"

Xiao San smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not the case. Jue Wushen was defeated by Tian Jian Wuming twenty years ago. He felt that his own strength was insufficient, so he resorted to trickery and stole the Golden Bell Cover from Shaolin. He discarded the Buddhist techniques and used his own skills as a foundation. He diligently practiced and forged his own Heng Lian Tian Ren martial arts, thus achieving Heng Lian Jing Hai Tian Ren."

"Although I despise him as a person, I have to admit that this boy does have some talent in martial arts." Xiao Sanxiao sighed softly, "For example, the legendary martial arts master, Tian Jian Wuming, has far superior talent than Jue Wushen. It's a pity..."

Duan Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "There are so many geniuses in the Central Plains martial arts world who are worthy of admiration. He wouldn't be the wrong person. In comparison, he's already considered a good person. At least he didn't die young. Senior, I want to establish a sect, named Xiaoyao. I wonder if you would be willing to condescend to serve as an elder?"
