Chapter 337 Arriving at Leishan and Obtaining Ancient Martial Arts

The Blackwater Bandits are a well-known gang of robbers in the vicinity. They often rob people on the road and sometimes even attack small towns or small sects to plunder. They do all kinds of evil things.

Wei Fan checked with the Demon Hunter badge and found that there was indeed a bounty on the Blackwater Bandit.

Although the Demon Hunter Organization only deals with matters concerning demons and does not care about internal conflicts among humans or things like banditry, the Demon Hunter Organizations in the five major domains are different from those in the wasteland.

The demon hunters in the five domains are more like bounty hunters. In addition to the tasks issued by the demon hunter organization itself, individuals can also issue some tasks through the demon hunter organization, such as escorting, protecting or rewarding bandits, flower thieves, and masters of magic.

After all, a huge organization spanning five major domains also needs some income. These bounty missions are part of the income of the Demon Hunter organization. Moreover, Demon Hunters cannot rely solely on merit, they also need spirit crystals to practice.

However, for cases like Wei Fan who was offered a bounty by the Zhilan Sect, the Demon Hunter Organization would not help release the information, so it is still a relatively neutral organization.

Since Big Brother Liya didn't need an escort, Wei Fan wanted to see if he could kill the Blackwater Bandits. However, he carefully checked the information of the Blackwater Bandits and found that the mission issued by the Demon Hunter Organization did not include the location of the Blackwater Bandits' base.

Whoosh whoosh…

In the middle of the night, three strong old men appeared outside the temple. They were all elders of the White Bone Tribe who were at the ninth level of the Martial King level. Wei Fan had seen two of them when he was in the White Bone Tribe.

"Friend Wei Fan, were you the one who saved Qi Chao and the others?"

The three elders who had rushed over were very happy to see Wei Fan.

Wei Fan shook his head and recognized Qi Chao as a member of the White Bone Tribe. He did intend to help at that time, but the King Wu of the Black Water Bandits said some unpleasant words, which angered Liya's eldest brother Qi Chao. Before he could reveal his identity, Qi Chao appeared on the altar and killed all the members of the Black Water Bandits.

"You used...it?" The elder named Qi Ang's expression changed. The expressions of the other two elders were also not good, and their eyes subconsciously looked towards the empty altar.

Qi Chao smiled bitterly and nodded: "The situation was critical at the time. I just wanted to keep the Demon-Suppressing Stone. There was no other way."

"Why……"

Qi Ang sighed, then turned around and bowed to Wei Fan and the other two, saying, "Friend Wei Fan, we have to escort the Demon-Suppressing Stone back to the tribe immediately. I'll take my leave now. After daybreak, you must leave here as soon as possible and don't stay any longer."

As they were talking, without giving Wei Fan a chance to ask any questions, the three of them took Liya's elder brother Qi Chao and the woman away from the sky, and disappeared into the night sky a few breaths later.

Wei Fan actually wanted to ask some more questions, but he knew that even if he asked, Qi Ang and the others would not tell him.

He turned to look at Fenghua: "Do you know what the so-called taboos in Cangwu Mountain are essentially?"

Fenghua's expression changed slightly: "Those are some incredible things, I can't tell you the specifics!"

She signaled to Wei Fan's empty altar with her eyes.

Wei Fan also looked at that place with fear, and then stopped talking. Qi Ang told them to leave here after dawn, which was obviously hinting that there was a problem here.

He only knew that there was something wrong here, but his doubts were growing. What was the figure that Qi Chao had just created? What was the problem that led to the abandonment of this place? Was this place related to the White Bone Tribe?

It’s so frustrating to have so many questions but no answers.

The three men meditated all night, and nothing bad happened. After dawn, the three men rode away on white horses.

…

In fact, Zhihua’s identity is not simple. Her full name is Yang Zhihua, and she is the princess of the Daxu Kingdom in Beidingzhou.

Daxu was established a long time ago, and was once the Dynasty of the Martial Saint. However, after the previous Martial Saint of the royal family died in a battle with demons, no new Martial Saint was born in the royal family of Daxu, so it fell from the ranks of the Saints.

Of course, a dynasty once had a Martial Saint in charge, so it would not be impossible for it to not get a secret weapon that could cross the barrier of Dao Collapse. However, she was a woman and her talent was not the most amazing in the royal family. Even if she got it, it would not be her turn. Instead, it would be given to the person in the royal family who had the greatest chance of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm.

Daxu is not big, and its population and land area are similar to those of Longguo. The destination of Wei Fan's trip - Leishan is near a city called Yinchuan in Daxu.

Wei Fan and the other two went all the way to Yinchuan City and found that there were already many martial arts figures here. However, these people did not enter Yinchuan City, but went directly to Leishan.

The three men entered Yinchuan City, handed the white horse to a horse shop for care, and then rushed to Leishan.

"Have you ever come to comprehend the Leishan Heavenly Art?" Wei Fan looked at Fenghua and Zhihua.

There were quite a few people along the way, but he found that most of them were young people under the age of 20, and there were very few older people. These people, like him, had never comprehended the Leishan Tiangong.

"I came here to meditate for a month, but left without any clue." Zhihua said.

Feng Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't believe in evil at first, and I spent three months here meditating, and finally I faced the reality and left."

Zhihua smiled and said, "In fact, we are relatively lucky. At the foot of Thunder Mountain, there are several Martial Kings who have been meditating for hundreds of years and have never given up."

After hundreds of years of contemplation... Wei Fan could only say that this persistence was admirable. To do something knowing that it was impossible was either foolish or stupid.

These people are probably the former, thinking that as long as they comprehend the Leishan Heavenly Skill they can soar into the sky. How can it be so simple?

The three of them walked along and soon arrived at the foot of Leishan Mountain. Over thousands of years of development, people continued to come here to seek enlightenment. Although this place did not develop into a city, it has become a commercial town with complete food and accommodation, and even shops selling weapons, elixirs and the like.

In another direction of the town, in a huge square, a ring was built with several high platforms.

The Leishan Martial Arts Competition has developed into one of the major martial arts events in Beidingzhou, so naturally someone will come to host it.

According to Fenghua and Zhihua, the first item in the martial arts discussion was the discussion of Leishan Tiangong. Those who had been meditating here for hundreds of years would come on stage to impart their experience of meditation to the young people who came here, and then there would be a martial arts competition.

The competition is usually in the form of a sparring session. Young people go on stage and report their age and skills. If anyone is eager to show off their skills, they can go on stage. Usually there will be no actual fighting, but of course there are exceptions sometimes.

“So this is Thunder Mountain!”

When Wei Fan walked to this square, he finally understood why it was called Leishan. A dark magnetic mountain stood on the earth, constantly emitting a terrifying magnetic field that attracted all iron objects.

"Where should we go to meditate?"

Wei Fan asked.

Zhihua said: "It is impossible to comprehend it now. The Thunder Mountain Heavenly Skill will only be revealed when it rains. However, if there is no thunderstorm in the next few days, there will be senior masters who will work together to create a thunderstorm.

At that time, you will be able to truly comprehend the Thunder Mountain Heavenly Skill! Come on, we will take you to a place first!"

Zhihua and Fenghua walked forward, and Wei Fan followed them and soon came to a cliff.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Leishan is majestic and looks like nothing more than a mountain. Rather, it is an enormous boulder embedded in the earth. It is a completely integrated whole without any vegetation on it. The closer you get to it, the stronger the magnetic field becomes. Wei Fan's hair even stands up.

“Look…”

He looked in the direction of Zhihua's finger, and saw a series of human figures with strange movements carved on the dark cliff.

Wei Fan was puzzled: "Didn't they say that we can't comprehend it? Why are there patterns here?"

Zhihua said: "I just let you look at these things first. It is not very useful to comprehend these patterns now. When the thunderstorm comes, these things will come alive, and then you can truly comprehend them."

Wei Fan nodded.

There were many people here who came to Leishan for the first time like him. Many of them made similar movements while looking at the patterns on the cliff.

"Don't imitate them, these moves are useless!" Zhihua said in a voice transmission.

The images on the cliff wall are extremely similar to the physical training movements of horizontal martial arts, but apart from the movements, there are no mental methods or mantras.

"Yeah! Let me take a look at these moves first!"

Wei Fan gathered his thoughts and concentrated all his energy, then began to observe the patterns on the cliff wall and deduce them in his mind.

This deduction is indeed as Zhihua said, these actions do not seem to have much effect. After deducing with the mind, these things also have some weird postures, and the others are mediocre, and they can't even increase any power.

No one knew how much time had passed. Wei Fan had demonstrated all the ninety-nine and eighty-one patterns in his mind, but still gained nothing.

"Is the order wrong, or is there some other reason, such as I have already cultivated, or is this really just an ordinary pattern..."

He recalled that in the novels of his previous life, some peerless skills required the practitioner to not have any previous cultivation experience.

Along the way, he had no master and seldom communicated with others about martial arts. He really didn't know whether there was such a saying in the five major domains.

"Oh right, the panel!"

He suddenly remembered the panel and looked up hastily to see whether the skills were genuine or not. The panel was more authoritative than anyone else.

【Nine Nine True Skills·Incomplete (Not yet started)】

Wei Fan's eyes flashed, and something really appeared on the panel.

Nine-nine true skills!

Leishan Tiangong is just a name given by later generations after the martial arts was discovered. The real name of this martial art on Leishan is Jiujiu Zhengong.

"The panel is really amazing!"

Xuanyuan Feng, who was known as the greatest genius in two thousand years, meditated for several months, but ultimately had to leave in disappointment. However, he only read it once, and the panel recorded the technique truthfully.

Although he was still confused about the Nine Nine True Skill, as long as it was recorded on the panel, it would at most cost him a little more energy.

"This may be an ancient martial art. Over the years, masters from the five domains have come to comprehend it, but no one has recognized it as the Nine-Nine True Art. It should be that no one knows the name of this art anymore."

Wei Fan’s mind raced, the ancient martial arts should be correct, but the current records on the panel were incomplete, which meant that these patterns carved on the cliff were only a part of the Jiujiu Zhengong.

"The other part, is it the part that appears during the thunderstorm?"
