Although the entrance of this cave is extremely narrow, the further you go inside, the wider it becomes. Of course, it is not so spacious that you can walk sideways, and it can probably accommodate three people walking side by side.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he still had no intention of reaching the end. Zhou Heng had a character that refused to admit defeat. When his temper got angry, he decided to fight this cave and had to go to the end!
It's pitch black outside, let alone inside the cave, and you can't see your fingers at all. Fortunately, there are no branch roads in the cave. There's just one road extending forward, so there's no need to worry about getting lost and unable to get out.
Zhou Heng occasionally slashed at the cave wall with his long sword, and used the faint light from the sparks produced by the friction to look at the surrounding environment.
Another half hour passed and he still had not reached the bottom of the cave.
If it were another person, he would have to turn around and go back anyway, but Zhou Heng has a stubborn temper. Since he has made up his mind to go to the end, he will never give up in the middle - otherwise, he will not be there.
I have persisted for ten years under the test of the Black Sword!
As long as it's not a maze, you can always reach the end.
Another hour later, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. Although it was very weak, it was like a bright light for people who had been in darkness for a long time. Zhou Heng was happy, but he was even more wary.
The long sword in his right hand was held tighter.
After taking a few more steps, the light became brighter and brighter, and a hole appeared.
When he stepped out, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a bright moon and few stars. This was actually a deep valley.
Zhou Heng looked up at the sky, but he didn't know when the heavy rain stopped. The green grass in the valley was covered with star water droplets, making it even more verdant and green, exuding a vitality.
The valley is not big, only about a hundred meters in circumference. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is an endless valley. The mountain walls are so steep that even apes would have difficulty climbing to the top of the mountain.
There is a small pond under the mountain wall on the west, and next to the pond is a big tree. The open crown of the tree completely covers the pond, and the leaves sway gently in the night wind, making a rustling sound.
When his gaze swept under the big tree, Zhou Heng's eyes couldn't help but tighten.
A corpse!
Sitting on a big tree, his head, neck, and hands have turned into white bones. The remaining parts are hidden under a scarlet brocade robe, which does not reveal the white bones, but a skull has already turned into white bones.
It's quite terrifying.
Only then did Zhou Heng remember that he had killed a person not long ago!
What shocked him was that he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, as if he hadn't killed a person, but a chicken or a dog!
"On the road to martial arts, killing is inevitable. It seems that I have adapted in advance!"
"However, I have no intention of becoming a murderer... My bottom line is that no one messes with me!"
Zhou Heng's eyes were firm, he put the murder aside and strode to the foot of the tree.
The bones in the head and neck of the corpse were intact. Zhou Heng opened the clothes of the corpse and saw three broken ribs at the chest. The broken bones fell to the ground, flashing with crystal color and extremely white.
"This person must have received a blunt blow during his lifetime, which shocked his internal organs. Then he escaped here and died of his injuries!"
"This can be proved by the complete clothes on his body. If he was punctured by a sharp weapon, it would be impossible not to leave a hole in the clothes! And if his enemy chased him, he would not be able to maintain this posture before he died!"
"Judging from the shape of the bone injury, it was clearly broken by a punch!"
Zhou Heng picked up a broken bone and bent it hard. The broken bone was surprisingly tough and did not move at all. He mobilized all his true energy and broke it again, but the broken bone was still the same, harder than iron!
"The strength of my hands now is definitely more than a thousand pounds, and these bones have experienced at least several decades of wind and rain, and they should have lost their previous toughness. How can they still be so strong?"
"A few years ago, some tomb robbers dug up the grave of an ancestor who had been dead for decades. When they were reburying it, someone accidentally stepped on the bones, which immediately broke into pieces!"
"That ancestor was in the blood refining realm during his lifetime!"
Comparing the two, Zhou Heng could only come to a conclusion that shocked him greatly.
Road to heaven!
This corpse walked the road to heaven before it was alive and achieved an incredible existence!
In Zhou Heng's understanding, warriors who cross the road to heaven are equivalent to legendary immortals, but such immortals have their sternums broken by fists, and eventually die miserably here!
The strongest has its own strong hand, even if it crosses the road to heaven, it is not an immortal existence.
Zhou Heng searched the body carefully and found a book and a token near the hip bone.
The book was originally supposed to be hidden in the man's chest and abdomen, placed close to his body, but as the body decomposed, the book fell off and appeared at the hip bone.
However, I don’t know what kind of material this book is made of, but it actually experienced the decomposition of the corpse without dying along with it! Moreover, after such a long time, this book has not changed at all, and it is extremely soft to the touch.
It seems that it is not paper, but human skin.
Nothing simple!
If such a precious material can be used to make book pages, what kind of information is recorded on it? Moreover, it is written by a peerless strong man who may have taken the road to heaven. How will it be that such a strong man can collect it personally?
Be precious?
There was no writing on the cover. Zhou Heng couldn't restrain his curiosity and opened the cover.
"Moon Shadow Heart Secret"!
There are only four words on the first page, written with flying dragons and phoenixes, with vigorous writing and a sense of atmosphere.
A single word "Jue" can explain that this is basically a cultivation method, but this "Moon Shadow Heart Jue" may be the reason for the death of that strong man, so how important is the relationship?
Zhou Heng couldn't help but continue to read through this exercise.
Yes, this is indeed a book on cultivation techniques. It only has more than 4,000 words in total, which is a bit obscure. However, after Zhou Heng paused for a while, he could suddenly understand it in a few seconds, and it was not difficult to understand.
His understanding has been continuously enhanced in the process of practicing Lingtian's Nine Styles. Although he has not yet mastered the first sword technique, it is not difficult to comprehend the Yueying Heart Technique.
"I want to try this set of exercises to see how effective it is!"
Zhou Heng sat down cross-legged and used the method of Yueying Xinjue to refine the food in his body, extract the free energy, and then transform it into his own true energy.
"Um!"
After running the Yueying Heart Art in his body for a week, Zhou Heng couldn't help but stop, with a look of shock on his face.
efficiency!
The efficiency of the Moon Shadow Heart Art in converting true energy is more than twice that of the Fierce Sun Art!
According to the description of the Moon Shadow Heart Art, if practiced under the moonlight, the efficacy can be increased by 30%, but the Lieyang Art can also be practiced at a 20% speed increase under the sun. No matter how you say it, the Moon Shadow Heart Art is much more powerful than the Fiery Sun Art.
!
Even if it is only twice as fast, it means that it still takes ten years to reach the bone refining realm with the Lieyang Art, but only five years with the Moon Shadow Heart Art!
No wonder this man met with a fatal disaster!
You must know that on the road of cultivation, time is definitely the biggest enemy!
For example, if the Meat Refining Realm cannot be broken through before the age of twenty, then the possibility will be infinitely reduced, and there is basically no hope - so the Zhou family has a rule that those who cannot reach the Meat Refining Realm before the age of eighteen are not allowed to practice.
Although the technique only increases the speed of accumulation of true energy, it can save half of the time on it, and more time can be spent to break through to the greater realm.
Moreover, the higher the realm, the longer it takes to accumulate true energy. After reaching the blood refining realm, the breakthrough of a small realm can be counted in ten years! If it takes fifteen years to reach the peak of the twelfth level of body refining, then
Naturally, the more time can be used to attack the road to heaven!
Life is so fleeting, and hundreds of years pass by in the blink of an eye. How many decades can be wasted?
Although Zhou Heng can obtain free energy from the Black Broken Sword, the Moon Shadow Heart Technique is currently not very useful to him, but who knows how long the Black Sword's special power can last?
Maybe it will be over after his ten years of hard training are returned to him!
Moreover, this set of exercises can also be passed on to Zhou Dinghai.
Zhou Dinghai has delayed his training for many years because of him. If he modified the Moon Shadow Heart Technique, then with Zhou Dinghai's talent, he could reach the twelfth level of body refining in five years at most!
Zhou Heng put away the exercises, as his father would definitely return during the Chinese New Year.
There was still about an hour before midnight, so Zhou Heng took advantage of this time to dig a hole and bury the body. Since he had obtained a top-notch skill from the other party, the only way he could do it was to let the deceased bury him in peace.
things to do.
If buried with the deceased, there will also be a token with the word "Nine Spirits" written on one side and "Su" on the other side. I don't know what material it is made of, and it is completely purple.
Zhou Heng thought it was the identity token of the deceased, so he buried it with it.
After doing all this, it was almost early in the morning. He sat down on his knees and quietly waited for the black broken sword to release energy.
Buzz!
At midnight, the black broken sword trembled slightly, and huge power surged out, instantly filling Zhou Heng's entire body. He quickly launched the Moon Shadow Heart Technique, frantically absorbing and refining the free energy.
In less than twenty minutes, all the energy had been refined by him. When Zhou Heng opened his eyes, he was suddenly shocked!
A figure suddenly appeared on the mountain wall above the pond, and it was constantly moving!
Someone? Who!
Zhou Heng quickly jumped up, unsheathed his long sword, and assumed a defensive position.
He looked up at the sky. Although the moon hung high in the sky, the cliff was so steep that there was no way there was anyone standing on it, so the figure was definitely not projected from above.
Could it be said that it is reflected from under the water?
Zhou Heng suddenly felt an incredible feeling. Swimming and walking underwater were completely different. The figure was definitely walking, not swimming!
