Chapter 267: The Tao cannot be passed on, and it continues!

"What happened?"

The most anxious person in the courtyard was Master Tan, Master Xin’s former inseparable companion.

Like Grandmaster Xin, he used Dayong's bone to forcibly advance to the Grandmaster level.

All along, except that his combat power in normal state is slightly inferior to that of the Grandmaster and his lifespan is slightly shorter than that of the Grandmaster, he is almost the same as the Grandmaster.

They had mastered all the methods that a Grandmaster should have! They felt that there was no big difference between them except for the different promotion paths.

But the unexpected events that happened today surprised him greatly.

The gift given by fate has already been secretly marked with a price.

"Infuriating, he didn't follow instructions and just ran away."

Grandmaster Xin's face looked extremely bad, both literally and literally. An extremely dense aura of death emanated from him from the inside out, like a walking corpse that was about to decay.

The pale hair dried and decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if all the vitality had been drained away.

In just a few breaths, Grandmaster Xin was lying on the ground in a mess, like a fish out of water, with only his chest rising and falling slightly, and he couldn't even speak.

His master's essence had been taken away.

Naturally, the Grandmaster’s deadline no longer belongs to him.

A life span of more than a hundred years was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, and there was no escape! The green light in Gu Dan's hand slowly disappeared.

This one really can't be saved.

Grandmaster Xin's lips were moving, but his throat didn't move at all, and the beating of his chest became weaker and weaker, without any sound coming out.

Grandmaster Tan opened his eyes wide and stared at Grandmaster Xin's lips.

As a partner who has been with Master Xin for most of his life, he is more familiar with Master Xin than anyone else.

Even though Master Xin's lips were moving very weakly, one could still vaguely make out what he was saying.

Grandmaster Xin's old and withered eyes no longer had any focus, but his eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to break free from their sockets. His trembling lips finally stopped moving, and his heaving chest completely stopped there.

A great master died of old age with endless regrets.

"I won't give up."

Grandmaster Tan said softly, "He said, I am unwilling to accept this."

No one responded.

There was dead silence in the courtyard.

Even though Gu Dan knew that the innate realm was unusual, he had never expected that such a change would occur.

A person who was promoted to the Grandmaster level through external forces, actually doesn't even have the qualifications to climb to the innate realm? Everything happened in just a moment.

But this time, even the other masters felt the danger.

No wonder Gu Dan said those words before. They thought Gu Dan was just being modest and must have reached that level. Who would have thought that it was really as Gu Dan said!

The power of the Grandmaster seemed so insignificant in front of that obstacle, and was completely drained away!

The bright red true energy in Master Tan's body, which looked identical to that in Master Xin's, suddenly surged out and was as easy to control as a finger.

He continuously used the externalized true Qi to condense it into various shapes, without a single flaw. His research and attainments in his own true Qi had reached perfection, and his movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

But Grandmaster Tan's gaze was extremely grim. He stared at the bright red true qi that belonged to him and felt unfamiliar for the first time.

Grandmaster Tan said, "Grandmaster Xin is my elder brother. He taught me many of my skills. He is even better than me in controlling true qi."

What he meant was that all the internal energy in Master Xin's body had been drained away, and it was definitely not a problem with Master Xin himself.

It is not a pleasant experience to see an elder brother who has been a mentor and friend to you for so many years die in front of you in this way.

After so many years of companionship, they are not relatives, but better than relatives - after all, their original relatives have long passed away, and true companions of the same generation who are familiar with and good friends are actually hard to come by.

It is no exaggeration to say that friends of the same path can be better than brothers.

"Are you still preparing to break through to the Xiantian realm? As you can see, what I witnessed was even more terrifying than what is happening now, and my end was not necessarily any better than that of Master Hui Xin."

Gu's worrying emotions had calmed down. Compared with what he had encountered before, what happened to Master Xin was just average, so there was no need to be too surprised.

"Let's go back and rest for a while."

Xue Wenjian and the other masters looked at each other and said, "Besides, we still have to deal with Master Xin's funeral."

Master Tan held Master Xin's body, and several others left the Gu family courtyard.

Just looking at their backs, they all look lonely and desolate.

Grandmaster Xin has made a great determination to break through to the innate level today.

Even if it can't be a good start, at least this attempt can provide some experience for the bystanders.

But who could have thought that a master would die so cleanly and neatly there? This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to their belief in challenging the innate.

Gu Dan was the only one left in the courtyard.

He stood in front of Master Xin, preparing to break through to the Xiantian realm. He looked left and right, up and down, and muttered to himself: "Xiantian. Xiantian"

Three months later.

The four masters once again came to the Gu family courtyard.

There was no need to give any more warnings this time, as everyone of them already knew that impacting the innate realm was no joke.

But what Gu Dan didn't expect was that this time, Grandmaster Tan would also try to reach the Xiantian realm! "You saw what happened to Grandmaster Xin with your own eyes, so why would you want to experience the same fate yourself?"

Gu Dan couldn't help but ask.

Grandmaster Tan is several years younger than Grandmaster Xin, and is just approaching 100 years old. Otherwise, Grandmaster Xin would not have been the first to break through to the innate realm.

If he is willing to give up this idea, he can live at least another six or seven years without any problem.

"I dreamed that Brother Xing missed me."

Grandmaster Tan smiled coldly, "Besides, a single case is not enough to prove anything. What if he had some hidden dangers before and didn't dare to tell me? I have to try again, right? If I succeed, I will definitely laugh at him. If I die, I can also follow the same path to find him."

"What about you?"

Gu Dan looked at Xue Wenjian again.

This time, not only one person wants to break through to the Xiantian realm, Xue Wenjian also wants to break through to the Xiantian realm! Unlike Grandmaster Xin and Grandmaster Tan, Xue Wenjian is a normal Grandmaster who was promoted based on his own abilities, so he shouldn't be in the same situation as Grandmaster Xin.

But this does not mean that his ending will be any better.

As for that path, everyone only knows a concept. The real practice is simply beyond words. Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand it.

It is true, the truth cannot be passed on! "These days, every time I rest, I can't help but think about what happened to Master Xin. I can't figure it out, and the more I think about it, the more horrified I become."

Xue Wenjian helplessly spread his hands and said, "If I delay any longer, I'm afraid I won't even have the thought of reaching the Xiantian realm. If that's the case, I can't delay any longer."

To put it bluntly, the worry is that one will have inner demons, become full of worries, and eventually lose the determination to move forward.

“The way to overcome fear is to face it?”

Gu Dan asked.

"right!"

Xue Wenjian nodded repeatedly, feeling that this sentence was particularly true to his heart.

"I have said everything that needs to be said. Please do as you please. If I fail, I will do my best to save those who can be saved."

Gu Dan said it very simply.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Master Tan quickly walked to the open space in the yard, which was the place chosen by Master Xin earlier, and sat down cross-legged without saying a word.

Soon, the blood in Grandmaster Tan's body began to boil, and his aura was even stronger than that of Grandmaster Xin at the beginning.

Age is not necessarily an absolute advantage. At least when Master Xin was old and weak, his energy and blood were no longer as strong as before.

In this regard, Master Tan is far superior to his master.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But no one present knew whether he could go further than Grandmaster Xin.

Several masters held their breath and concentrated, their eyes intently, not daring to relax their attention for even a moment.

Then, bright red true Qi filled and spread like a tide, propping up Grandmaster Tan's robe, which began to rustle, and the Grandmaster's aura was unmistakably on display!

This time, Gu Dan put all his spiritual thoughts into Master Tan, forcing his way through his blood that was boiling and violent like magma, and sensing the situation inside his body.

Even though his strength had surpassed that of Grandmaster Tan, he still felt a slight stinging sensation between his eyebrows.

He felt that the surging bright red true energy had begun to burst towards his five internal organs.

It turns out that his true energy did not pour out directly like Master Xin did?

This thought had just arisen in Gu Dan's mind, and in the blink of an eye, he saw with his own eyes that the bright red true energy that had been rushing through his five internal organs suddenly flowed backwards, as if it had encountered an irresistible force, or as if it was escaping from a prehistoric beast.

Even if Grandmaster Tan wanted to control his own Qi with his own will, it would be of no use.

Countless bright red Qi swarmed out of Grandmaster Tan's body, and it was exactly the same as what happened to Grandmaster Xin at that time! Grandmaster Tan's aura disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The heavy blow of time came upon him. After losing his master's foundation, Grandmaster Tan fell to the ground powerlessly. Unspeakable pain burst out from his internal organs, and all his vitality was rapidly disappearing.

He felt what Grandmaster Xin had felt.

When he fell down, Master Tan saw several faces swaying in front of him through his blurry eyes.

Grandmaster Tan then tried hard and shook his head firmly.

Then he closed his eyes.

A great master just died like that, without even leaving behind any last words.

Perhaps it was because he didn't feel that unwilling at all and just wanted to go down and accompany his old friend.

"Grandmaster Tan shook his head."

"It's telling us not to try to use the Qi that is not condensed from our own body."

Gu Dan added.

Relying on his spiritual sense to force inward vision, he was able to "see" the efforts made by Grandmaster Tan, but only a very small part of his true energy responded to him.

But the tiny part of his true Qi that responded to him was like the difference between a creek and a river in the face of the completely dissipated true Qi torrent. It was swept away and disappeared together without even a chance to struggle.

"Do you want to try again?"

Gu Dan looked at Xue Wenjian.

Witnessing two masters dying so suddenly on their way to achieving the innate level must have been a huge blow to the person's heart.

Sympathy for one's own kind.

Although the master seems to have transcended the world, is he not still in the mortal world?

For ordinary people, being a Grandmaster is enough. Why bother to seek the mysterious innate realm? Even if the remaining ten years are wasted day by day, it is better than dying suddenly, right?

Once you have such a thought, you may never have the chance to reach the innate realm in this life.

"try!"

Xue Wenjian gritted his teeth, his face grim.

He personally picked up Master Tan's body from the ground and temporarily placed it beside the courtyard, saying fiercely: "If I die later, you can carry me away and bury me just like I carried him! How can a man stop when he knows the road ahead?!

Grandmaster, even if you have to die, you must die on the road to moving forward!"

For a moment, he was filled with great enthusiasm, and his determination to seek the truth became even stronger.

If you don't have a stubborn head, what's the point of practicing martial arts and becoming a master? There are so many martial artists who are stuck before the five elements interact. They have worked hard to train their bodies for so many years, but they still haven't become masters. Didn't they still come here?

Before Xue Wenjian had mastered his internal organs, he was just one of them.

In other words, every warrior who can practice to the level of internal organ training firmly believes that he can succeed and is destined to be the chosen one! Without this belief, it is impossible to survive the pain of the blood and qi barrier.

Don't ask me what the answer is, I just know that the answer is there!

Just take a step forward and I will be the answer!

At that moment, Xue Wenjian sat cross-legged in the place where Masters Tan and Xin had sat before, and began to adjust his own state.

The time he spent was even longer than that required by Grandmasters Xin and Tan.

You can have big ambitions, but you must take a down-to-earth approach.

Finally, when dusk was approaching.

The aura that had been dormant in Xue Wenjian's body for a long time finally burst out, like the sun that had not yet set began to rise again.

His clothes fluttered wildly and his white hair was flying.

The almost black true energy covered him like an abyss, turning into dark clouds that obscured the sun, and a storm was about to come!

The first step is resonance of Qi and blood!

Xue Wenjian's muscles bulged, and even though he was sitting cross-legged there, his body began to slowly expand like a giant, his robes were puffed up high, and his true energy, which had exploded to the extreme, was circulating in his body at the maximum speed, leaving no room for any slack. The beating of his heart sounded like the beating of a drum and the groaning of a wild beast.

The second step is to resonate the true qi and control the force with the qi! "Dong, dong dong, dong dong dong!"

The increasingly intense drum beats gradually extend into a continuous series, chasing each other endlessly, like a grand and majestic symphony with one person finishing his performance and the other taking the stage.

When the energy accumulated to the extreme, Xue Wenjian did not hesitate at all. All of his true energy burst out towards his five internal organs at the same time and rushed away!

On the same road, two masters were blocked, and in a flash, a new challenger appeared! (End of this chapter)
