Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 137
Similar Temperaments
***
Not many people from the Eternal Dawn Sect came to visit Cui Heng this time.
There are only nine of them.
He Qingrou and Chen Ying were naturally there.
Moreover, there was Sect Master, Zhu Qing Enhanced, Vice Sect Master, Liu Yiyun, two Sword Masters, Autumn Cloud and Sunset, two great disciples of Zhu Qing Enhanced, two great disciples of Zhu Qing, and the personal disciple of the Enhanced Hengxia Ancestral Master, Zheng Nanxun.
Originally, the Perfect Zhu Qing was planning to lead all the disciples to visit Cui Heng. He felt that this was the only way to express the respect of the Eternal Dawn Sect to the Ancestral Master teacher.
However, this plan was persuaded by Zheng Nanxun.
If all the sect disciples left the sect, what if an external enemy took advantage of the situation?
The Eternal Dawn Sect of Mount Cangcheng was the foundation of the Ancestral Master and had stood for nearly a hundred years. It was also a legacy handed to them. They can't be careless.
Hence, most of the disciples were left behind to guard the sect.
Of course, the nine people who had come to visit Cui Heng were still the absolute core of the Eternal Dawn Sect.
After all, the person they met this time was their true Ancestral Master.
At this moment, the Eternal Dawn Sect had arrived in a small town outside Changfeng Prefecture.
They did not enter the city to visit Cui Heng.
That's too rough.
The perfect Zhu Qing and He Qingrou would go to pay their respects together. After obtaining Cui Heng's permission, the others would enter the city.
Previously, everyone had settled in an inn.
Zheng Nanxun leaned against the window and looked at the pedestrian below in a daze.
She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties. His face was somewhat pale, and his temperament was weak. His figure was thin, and he was not wearing a Daoist robe. Instead, she wore a light green dress that was simple, graceful and natural.
This was the first time he had gone down the mountain in nearly a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, he was still the world-famous Perfect Nanxun.
As the first disciple of the Conferred Hengxia, he inherited the ideals of his master. He traveled the martial world, punishing evil, and supporting the straight path to help those in need.
It was the happiest moment of his life.
Zheng Nanxun originally thought he could continue like that.
He would always follow his teacher, and practice the legacy of his teacher, eventually passing it on to his own students.
Until the day he died.
But after the battle a hundred years ago, everything changed. All the disciples he taught carefully died in battle. He was also severely injured and his origin was damaged, causing his lifespan to be greatly reduced.
Even his master, whom he considered a lifelong goal, disappeared after that battle.
Soon after, the Eternal Dawn Sect sealed the mountain.
Everything has changed.
From then on, Zheng Nanxun never came down from Mount Cangcheng again.
He locked himself in the cave dwelling behind the mountain.
And refused to see anyone.
He just sat there in death seclusion.
Fall asleep.
More than ten years ago a little girl named Chen Ying accidentally entered the forbidden area behind the mountain and woke her up.
This little girl looked very similar to one of her students who had died.
Chen Ying was agile and cheerful, and her words were sweet.
Finally, Zheng Nanxun's dead heart lit up with vitality.
However, he still did not come out of the cave that stayed behind the mountain.
He had only occasionally met Zhu Qing who was Perfected, the current Sect Master, to ask about the current situation of the Eternal Dawn Sect.
A few days ago, the Perfect Zhu Qing suddenly told him some news.
Chen Ying had found the true Ancestral Master of the Eternal Dawn Sect.
The perfect Hengxia Master is the hidden Eternal Majesty named "Cui Heng".
This triggered the memories of Zheng Nanxun who had been sealed for a long time.
It was then that he had just acknowledged Jiang Qiqi as his master.
At that time, Perfected Hengxia was not yet famous.
This was only a young girl named Jiang Qiqi from Hedong County in Fengzhou.
He was only ten years old at the time.
Jiang Qiqi was also only 19 years old.
Zheng Nanxun once asked curiously, "Where did Master learn such powerful sword techniques?"
The answer was that he had learned it from Big Brother Immortal.
Occasionally, Jiang Qiqi would tell him something about Immortal Brother.
It was a tone filled with admiration and longing
However, after Jiang Qiqi stepped into the Pugilistic World as a Conferred Hengxia, she never told him again about that Immortal Brother.
As time went on, he forgot about it. Gradually, he only remembered that his master must have a very, very strong master.
His name is Cui Heng.
It was his Ancestral Master, the true Ancestral Master of the Eternal Dawn Sect.
He was the reclusive Eternal Majesty.
Although in his impression, his master never said that he was his master...
Later, Zheng Nanxun accidentally found him
Although his master had long since not mentioned "Eternal Brother" to anyone, he was actually secretly searching for clues.
But he got nothing.
Even until the battle came, they could not find it.
Now that years have passed…
Did they really find the "Eternal Brother" that Master mentioned?
"What kind of person is he?" Zheng Nanxun looked through the prefectural city window and muttered, "He made Master hide it in his heart and never forget it for a hundred years ..."
At this moment, a soft knock was heard on the door.
"Martial Grandaunt, we're going to the city." Chen Ying's voice came from outside. He said with a smile, “We will pay tribute to Grandpa Ancestor.”
The perfect Zhu Qing had organized another discussion on how to greet Cui Heng before coming to Changfeng Prefecture.
In the end, after discussing, they decided to just refer to Cui Heng as the Ancestral Grandfather.
At other times, such as when fellow disciples were talking to each other, they could call him the Ancestral Master.
This did not violate the decision of the Ancestral Master, the Enhanced Hengxia, and it could also facilitate communication between fellow disciples.
That's the best of both sides.
"All right, I'm coming."
Zheng Nanxun stopped her complicated thoughts and nodded in response. He closed the window facing outside.
….
They walked on the streets of the bustling Changfeng Prefectural City.
Zheng Nanxun gradually felt like he had found himself in the past.
A hundred years ago, when he was with his master, he often shopped in cities that were so prosperous.
Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to experience such feelings for too long.
He had been seriously injured in the battle back then and his lifespan had been greatly reduced. To this day, he did not have much lifespan left.
Even though he looked healthy on the surface, he was already on the verge of death.
“However, being able to see Immortal Brother on behalf of Master before I die can be considered helping Master.”
Zheng Nanxun thought to himself.
….
The State Supervisory Office.
Cui Heng looked at the three familiar figures.
Chen Ying, He Qingrou, and Refined Zhu Qing.
He knows no other.
However, one of the figures immediately caught his attention.
Zheng Nanxun's.
"This?" Cui Heng asked the Enhanced Zhu Qing.
He felt that the temperament of this person was very similar to Jiang Qiqi. He was the one who was most similar to Jiang Qiqi among the nine people from the Eternal Dawn Sect.
The perfect Zhu Qing hurriedly invited Zheng Nanxun, "Self-Defense Aunt Zheng ..."
"Greetings, Grandmaster Ancestor." Zheng Nanxun bowed respectfully to Cui Heng.
"You're Qiqi's first student?" Cui Heng was slightly surprised and enlightened upon hearing this. He smiled and praised, “The aura is restrained, and the sword light is hidden without leaking. It seems you have already understood the true meaning of the Immortal Dawn Sword Art.”.
But as he spoke, he could not continue. Eyebrows wrinkling.
Cui Heng noticed the abnormality on Zheng Nanxun's body and said in a low voice, “What happened? Your source energy has been severely depleted. Your cultivation is actually at the end of his life.
Zheng Nanxun's Eternal Dawn Sword Art had been developed to the Eighth level of Qi Refinement. Even if his lifespan was not as long as that of a true Immortal cultivator, he should have been able to live over 300 years.
But it's not even 200 years old.
He was really close to the end of his life.
This is clearly not normal.
The people around the Eternal Dawn Sect clearly did not know about Zheng Nanxun's situation. When they heard this, they were shocked.
“Martial Aunt Zheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Self-Defense Aunt ..."
"Martial Grandaunt ..."
Although they knew that Zheng Nanxun's physical condition was very bad, they did not expect it to be so serious.
His origin had been broken and his life would soon be over. It's like a bolt from the blue.
"I'm fine." Zheng Nanxun shook his head indifferently and said to Cui Heng, “Grandmaster, don't worry. It was just an old wound left behind from a hundred years ago. That's an old problem.”
"Come here." Cui Heng waved towards Zheng Nanxun. "I'll help you treat it."
"M-treating?" Zheng Nanxun looked puzzled when he heard this. He asked curiously, “Grandmaster, actually my wound has been healed for a long time. It's just that my origin has been broken..”.
Damage to the origin energy meant that the foundation of the body had been injured. There is no chance of cure.
No matter how powerful the tonic was or how brilliant the martial technique was, it was impossible to cover up the flaws and consumption of origin energy.
This was already the consensus of every martial artist.
Is this treatable?
“Martial Grandaunt, don't worry. Grandfather Ancestor is very strong!” Chen Ying moved to Zheng Nanxun's side and said, "He can definitely treat your injuries."
The perfect Zhu Qing, Liu Yiyun, and the others said nothing.
They all know very well what it means to have them broken.
Moreover, Zheng Nanxun had developed the Eternal Dawn Sword Arts into an extremely high realm, comparable to an Immortal Human. It was almost impossible to refine the origin energy of an Immortal Human.
“En. If the origin is damaged, we can patch it up and you'll be fine. Cui Heng nodded lightly.
“Thank you, Big Master.” Zheng Nanxun came to Cui Heng's side.
“Close your eyes and wait a minute,” said Cui Heng gently.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and flicked his finger, letting the wisp of Dharma power enter Zheng Nanxun's body.
These clumps of Dharma power instantly spread to his limbs and bones, turning into endless vitality that quickly filled his extremely empty body.
Zheng Nanxun's pale face gradually regained its color.
The white hair on his temple also turned black again, and his appearance became even younger, as if he had instantly changed from his thirties to his twenties.
In a short moment, Zheng Nanxun's entire body transformed from a depleted light into a blazing fire.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt his body in shock. He muttered, “I've recovered. I have completely recovered!”
The perfect Zhu Qing, Liu Yiyun, and the others also felt an unprecedented shock.
Grandfather Ancestor is too strong!
Even the origin energy of an Immortal Human can be restored easily.
“Thank you, Big Master!” Zheng Nanxun bowed to Cui Heng. "No need to be so polite." Cui Heng raised his hand to stop him from bowing. “Tell me about what happened before Qiqi disappeared.”
