Chapter 85: One hundred people came to the island and two returned
When Dong Cheng said this, he thought of the five or six hundred people who made the second trip to Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea. Seventy or eighty percent of them died just for the test of going to the island.
Even after going to the island, only 30% of the people who came back alive in the end could not help but tremble.
At this time, Yang Jin was practicing the "Thirteen Styles of Basic Swordsmanship" in the courtyard with the Qinghong Sword.
While practicing his sword, he secretly tempered his body and coagulated his blood using the unique method of breathing and regulating the "Three Treasures Arhat Boxing".
As he continued to practice and strive for stability, he only focused on practicing the tattoo technique, and he gradually became proficient in swordsmanship.
It is no longer as slow and stumbling as when I first started practicing sword practice.
In conjunction with the Three Treasures Arhat Boxing, breath regulation, blood coagulation, body quenching and luck sword, there are some rules.
As the internal cultivation method of Three Jewels Arhat Boxing continued to coagulate blood, temper the body, refine oneself and build the foundation, his body began to become steaming, and soon he was covered in sweat.
However, because it was night, Dong Cheng on the side was also focused on what he was talking about about the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea, so he didn't notice it.
"Since it would be so tragic to go to the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea to understand the creation monuments with martial arts pictures inscribed on them, then how come there are still people who want to go there knowing that they are going to die?"
I heard Dong Cheng talk about how those senior martial arts masters in those days went to such extreme lengths to go to the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea to comprehend the creation monuments!
Those people in the world are all as if they are possessed by a demon. They are completely risking their own lives.
Moreover, the chance of survival is shockingly low, less than 20%.
Yang Jin was a little puzzled and asked Dong Cheng: "Why do you have to go through the life and death test before going to the island?
Can’t those martial arts seniors just go to the island with their martial arts skills?”
"Brother, how can things be as simple as you think?
If you can go directly to the island, why do you have to hold the invitation and listen to the arrangements of the people on the island?
And you still know that the probability of death is extremely high, so you have to accept that hellish test with a high mortality rate?"
Dong Cheng couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Yang Jin say this.
"The third time the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea sent invitations to the Jianghu to invite people, the senior masters in the martial arts did what you just said, brother.
But not only did they fail that time, they also suffered huge losses!
Brother, do you know why this is?"
"I don't know! Brother, why is this?
Is there something strange about the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea that makes it impossible to attack it by force?"
Yang Jin felt a little tired again and took the opportunity to stop and rest.
This dual-purpose method, combined with the unique breathing and regulating method of "Three Treasures Arhat Fist" when practicing swordsmanship, secretly consumes a lot of body tempering and blood coagulation.
Every time he took no more than thirty or forty moves, he couldn't hold on any longer.
However, although the consumption is high, the effect of blood coagulation and body quenching is excellent, not much worse than the effect of using the "Three Treasures Arhat Fist" with full strength.
It was just that the mental drain was a bit too great, so Yang Jin had to stop from time to time to recuperate from the mental fatigue caused by the dual-tasking method.
This is him. His soul has traveled through two lives and his mind is extremely strong. If it were anyone else, let alone practicing swordsmanship and performing martial arts at the same time, he would not even be able to do the most basic dual-purpose.
Dong Cheng continued: "Of course there is something strange on the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea!
Don’t even think about it, since the island owner dares to allow people from the martial arts world to come to the island to observe and understand the twenty-four artificial stone tablets engraved with illustrations of ancient martial arts, how come he has no back-up plan?"
At this point, Teacher Dong pretended to be an expert again and pretended to be a good person.
Yang Jin stood up and practiced his sword slowly while asking cooperatively: "What is the island master's back-up plan?"
"The island owner should have a lot of back-ups, but no one knows exactly what they are.
Even Bai Xiaosheng, the Pavilion Master of Bai Xiao Tongtian Pavilion, who claimed to know all the secrets of Jianghu, didn't even know about it.
However, so far, the world has recognized that the owner of the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea has two great powers.
One is the peerless martial arts that can sweep the world.
The martial arts cultivation level is at least a first-class peerless master at the "Heaven Ranking" level, and it may even be higher!
Because when this third invitation came to invite people to the island, the people in the martial arts world back then were just like what you mentioned just now, brother.
Wanting not to pass the life and death test of the island owner, but wanting to use force, everyone unites to directly break into the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the island owner alone.
It is said that several top martial arts masters at that time had a brief battle with the island owner for this purpose, and fought head-on with several moves.
However, both sides seemed to have concerns and did not fight to the end.
They all tested each other's moves for a few times and then stopped. In the end, they gave up without deciding the winner.
It was such a battle that the owner of Tianji Valley at that time also ranked the island owner of Sun Moon Qiankun Island at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
However, what the island owner is most famous for is not his martial arts, but his unpredictable and ever-changing formation methods.
Countless senior masters back then fell under his unpredictable and deadly formation.
Back then, those experts from the Heaven Ranking entangled the island owner of Sun Moon Qiankun Island, preventing him from taking action.
Those who wanted to use force to attack Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea were trapped alive by the formation deployed by the island owner before they even got to the island.
After those senior masters were trapped by the formation, they originally wanted to use brute force and advanced martial arts to break out of the formation.
Unexpectedly, the formation deployed by the island owner was unpredictable and powerful.
The martial arts seniors who were trapped in the formation went through a series of experiments on how to break through the formation. In the end, not only did they fail to break out of the formation, but they suffered numerous casualties.
The experts outside the formation saw that there was no other way, and they had no choice but to agree, and allowed the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea to send invitations to the Central Plains Wulin every sixty years.
The masters in the martial arts world of the Central Plains will also abide by the rules of the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea.
Come here with the post, and then pass the life and death test of the island owner to land on the island.
All those who come to the island and understand the martial arts illustrations on the stone monument do so on their own volition. Once they land on the island with the certificate, their life and death will be determined by heaven, and they will be the same as anyone else!
The island owner's method of testing those who landed on the island back then was to use his unpredictable and unrivaled formation to trap all those who participated in the test.
Only those who can get out of the formation alive can land on the island. Otherwise, even if they are lucky enough to land on the Sun Moon Universe Island in the South China Sea, they will be seeking death.
The reason why I say this is because according to the island owner back then, although the South China Sea Sun Moon Qiankun Island is in the South China Sea, this island is very mysterious.
This island is naturally surrounded by a huge formation formed by the power of heaven and earth.
Those people in the world have been searching hard in the South China Sea for more than 20 years, but they have not found any trace of this island.
It was because of this infinitely powerful natural formation that the Sun Moon Universe Island was completely covered.
The formation outside this island is completely made up of the many broken islands and dark islets and countless reef whirlpools around the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea.
The transformation of the formation changes with the ebb and flow of the tide and the constant changes of the sun, moon and stars.
Even every hour, every quarter of an hour, and even every breath, the position of the formation is different according to the changes in tides and the changes in the sun, moon and stars.
Moreover, this natural formation also has the effect of enchanting phantom.
If there is no one to guide you, you will not be able to accurately find the path to the Sun Moon Qiankun Island.
They will only be trapped alive by the formation, or they will be confused by the enchanting phantom in the formation, and die of mental exhaustion.
Only those who are strong-minded and are not trapped by the phantoms of formations can survive on the island and have the opportunity to understand the ancient martial arts diagrams on the created stone tablets.
Otherwise, over time, you will naturally be fascinated by the infinitely powerful natural formations around Sun Moon Qiankun Island, and you will go crazy and die.
Moreover, if the mind is not strong enough, when one is studying the creation stone tablet, he will be confused by the true meaning of martial arts in the ancient martial arts illustrations on the stone tablet. He will also be mentally exhausted, his talents and ideas will be exhausted, and he will die when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.
Most of those who died after going to the island for the second time were fascinated by the true meaning of martial arts on the stone tablet when they studied the ancient martial arts illustrations on the stone tablet.
The mind was completely immersed in it and could not extricate itself. Eventually, the mind was exhausted, the talent and ideas were exhausted, and the man became possessed and died.
The most important thing is that the formations on the island are created naturally by the power of heaven and earth and cannot be done by humans.
Because it is formed naturally, there is no trace of the formation's operation, and naturally there is no flaw to find and exploit.
Because the power of heaven and earth is endless, naturally this natural formation cannot be broken, and the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea is usually covered by formations, so naturally there is no trace.
It's just that every sixty years, a period of one year, it falls on the vernal equinox in the two years between the beginning and the end of the period.
There are three days each. Because the power of heaven and earth is reversed, the formation outside the island will have a flaw exposed.
It can be used by those who are skilled in the formation to follow the slightest flaw in the formation.
Except for these few days, during the rest of the time, if you don't cultivate your formations well enough or don't cultivate your martial arts deeply, you may never be able to get out of the Sun Moon Universe Island, and you will be trapped on the island.
It wasn't until the Spring Equinox a week later that a flaw in the formation could be revealed.
This is also the reason why every sixty years, in the year of Jiazi, an invitation is sent out to Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea, inviting martial arts people from the Central Plains to come to the island to understand the creation of the monument."
Yang Jin stopped again, took the teacup on the stone table and drank it in one gulp.
He asked: "Since the Sun Moon Qiankun Island in the South China Sea is so dangerous to comprehend the creation monument, why do so many martial arts people who are not afraid of death still go to the island to take the test every sixty years?
Don't they know they are looking for death?
After all, the chance of coming back alive from Sun Moon Qiankun Island is too small!"
