Two days later, the sound of dogs barking incessantly filled the peach blossom grove.
Li Ming planned to continue deducing the black dog's past, wanting to know its specific experiences in the center of the thirty-six sacred mountains.
As soon as I held the dog's paw, it looked aggrieved.
She struggled incessantly, and when she could no longer break free, her eyes welled up with tears that quickly streamed down her face.
The black dog is now certain that Li Ming wants to cultivate the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" with it.
She burst into tears, unable to bear this injustice.
How could a person do such a thing?
It's not a girl.
How can one cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?
The black dog struggled frantically but could not break free from Li Ming's clutches. In a moment of quick thinking, it spat out a mouthful of water.
Li Ming gritted his teeth and beat it mercilessly until its limbs twitched, it foamed at the mouth, its body crackled with electricity, and it was barely breathing, on the verge of death.
After a moment's pause, the black dog decided not to resist Li Ming.
He lay prone on the ground, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, gritting his teeth inwardly, determined to risk it all and start cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
I just hope Li Ming can be gentle.
However, Li Ming ignored it, which disappointed the black dog.
It was prepared to sacrifice itself, yet he remained unmoved.
The black dog barked again to express its dissatisfaction, and when it saw the terrifying chaotic mist surrounding Li Ming's body, it ran away in a flash.
"There's definitely something strange about this dog."
Li Ming stroked his chin, lost in thought, and said:
"They want to deduce its past, yet they resist me. Could it be that there's an unspeakable secret hidden in the heart of the thirty-six sacred mountains' forbidden area?"
Thinking about this, he became very interested.
"It seems that the area of Zuzhou Dongsheng is not simple."
"If even this one region is so alluring, the outside world must be incredibly exciting." Li Ming slowly exhaled, eagerly anticipating the day he would venture out.
But when can we go out?
He stared at this world, trying to shake it with the power of the 1022nd level of Qi Refining, but to no avail.
I still need to continue practicing.
If we can't get out in a hundred years, then we'll try for three hundred years. If we can't get out in three hundred years, then we'll try for three thousand years. If we still can't get out, then we'll try for a hundred thousand years. I refuse to believe we can't get out.
Li Ming maintained a good attitude and continued his cultivation, striving to master the "Qi Cultivation Technique".
Just as I was about to begin, suddenly the peach blossoms in the peach grove slowly floated up.
He frowned; he hadn't even made a move yet.
Why is it like this? Is the black dog practicing its kung fu?
A quick glance revealed no black dog, but rather an old man.
He had a full head of white hair and wore a white robe. He slowly practiced Tai Chi. It was he who rolled up the peach blossoms on the ground of the peach blossom forest, making the peach blossom forest world seem to be in a state of yin and yang chaos.
“A new character has emerged.”
Li Ming looked down at the dragon-patterned wooden plaque at his waist, which displayed the number "48".
It represents the length of time he stayed in this place.
Since Qin Shi Huang came, the timeline for historical figures has been extended.
Although I don't know the specific reason, it's definitely related to him.
Li Ming looked up and stared at the old man. He had a full head of white hair, but his face was not wrinkled. He looked like a white-haired man with a youthful face, giving Li Ming the feeling that the old man was an immortal.
"Who?" The old man practicing Tai Chi stopped, and the peach blossoms floating in the air seemed to freeze in the void.
"Li Ming."
"Where is this place?" The old man sensed that his surroundings had changed and became wary, wondering who this powerful being possessed.
He was practicing Tai Chi in his own yard just moments ago, and now he's here.
"Yunmeng Sect." Li Ming stared at him and smiled, "Your Tai Chi is quite good. What's your name?"
"Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang," the old man said, clasping his hands in greeting.
"It's you." Li Ming looked at the old man. This was a familiar face; no one in the martial arts world could avoid him. He said, "You must be over a hundred years old, right?"
“This year it’s exactly one hundred,” Zhang Sanfeng replied.
Li Mingdao said, "I have long heard that Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang has reached the pinnacle of Tai Chi. I would like to have a friendly exchange. Is that alright?"
Zhang Sanfeng made a gesture of invitation.
The two quickly engaged in combat.
Li Ming did not use his spiritual power, because using it would have instantly killed Zhang Sanfeng.
With just a simple use of fist and foot techniques, and with flexible variations, the entire peach blossom forest was mobilized.
As expected of Zhang Sanfeng, he was able to calmly withstand some of the attacks.
In Li Ming's memory, Zhang Sanfeng was only a teenager when his martial arts skills had already surpassed those of the Condor Trilogy.
Although he did not fight in his middle age, his legend spread throughout the martial arts world. Yang Dingtian was renowned for his power and led the Ming Cult to be invincible. The only person who could rival him in martial arts was Zhang Sanfeng.
Records say that he fought with Yang Dingtian for three days and three nights.
In the end, the arrogant Yang Dingtian was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng and suffered severe internal injuries.
At the age of ninety, Zhang Sanfeng was able to instantly control the Xuanming Elders in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Zhang Wuji, who had learned so many martial arts, did not have Zhang Sanfeng's courage to defeat the Xuanming Elders instantly.
When Zhang Sanfeng turned 100, Shaolin monks launched a sneak attack and injured him, forcing him to recuperate for two or three months.
However, even after being injured for a short time, he was able to defeat a master like Gang Xiang.
The Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword techniques he created are known as "shining upon future generations and illuminating the ages".
Zhang Wuji, who had only learned Tai Chi for a short time, was able to defeat several of Zhao Min's top fighters in succession. Even the Xuanming Elders became Zhang Wuji's defeated opponents under Zhang Sanfeng's guidance.
This clearly shows that Zhang Sanfeng had already reached the pinnacle of his martial arts skills at that time.
Martial arts have their limits; once you reach the pinnacle, it becomes difficult to improve further.
Zhang Sanfeng was still pursuing further progress, but he had no clue what to do.
"Perhaps that's why he came here."
Li Ming made a guess.
Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Chuan uses softness to overcome hardness, constantly neutralizing both short-range force and devastating power.
Gradually, Zhang Sanfeng was no match for Li Ming's attacks.
Zhang Sanfeng considered himself very powerful, with few rivals in martial arts. He never expected that the young man he encountered today would be like a god, completely on a different level from him.
"In the martial arts world, I think the most powerful genius is Zhang Wuji. Who are you? I've never heard of you before." Zhang Sanfeng, defeated, stared at Li Ming in disbelief.
He felt that what Li Ming was practicing was not martial arts, but rather immortal arts.
But do immortals exist in this world?
He had some doubts.
"I've been going out very little lately. Could it be that some extraordinary genius has appeared in the martial arts world again?" Zhang Sanfeng asked Li Ming with a puzzled look.
No.
Li Ming pointed his index finger to the sky.
A wisp of spiritual energy floated from his fingertips, and under his control, the countless peach blossoms fluttering in the air gathered towards his fingertips.
Gradually, the peach blossom transformed into a miniature Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng's pupils dilated as he asked, "Then who are you?"
"I cultivate immortality, do you believe me?"
