Chapter 727 Appearing in the World
"Who... who is this kid?"
Many people did not know Zhang Qian. When they saw a young man in his twenties appearing in this precious tripod that was tens of thousands of miles long, they all showed endless curiosity.
The treasured tripod rose into the air. Such a huge commotion had already alarmed almost all the cultivators in the Thirty-Six States. Even the Nine Heavens Sect, the Ten Emperors Families and countless ancient sects gathered around the Emperor's Burial Mausoleum were not spared. Even the many powerful cultivators of the Nine Heavens Sect who were fighting with the innate stone spirit and immortal fetus in the Emperor's Burial Mausoleum stopped and all looked at the big tripod in the long river of human destiny.
Yun Zhixuan's pupils shrank, and she immediately recognized Zhang Qian on the sacred tree in the big cauldron. She was extremely shocked. Zhang Qian had left the Emperor's Mausoleum quietly before, and Yun Zhixuan had guessed what Zhang Qian was going to do. Now it seemed that Zhang Qian had done such a big thing in secret, and even attracted the attention of the whole world.
"Check it out quickly, I want to know who this person is!"
At this moment, both the Jiutian Sect and the Ten Emperors Family became interested in Zhang Qian. The current situation was very clear. The World Tree and Emperor Xi were competing for the ownership of the long river of destiny of the human race. Whoever won would control the destiny of the human race in this world and would also gain the upper hand in the struggle for the power of Heaven.
And in such a thrilling fight, a young man actually appeared, which made the powerful people from major forces extremely curious.
Zhang Qian’s existence is no big secret, and he did not hide his true identity this time. Instead, he appeared directly in front of all the cultivators in the world.
Soon, whether it was the Jiutian Sect, the Ten Emperors Family, or the ancient great sects, they all received information about Zhang Qian. Some of this information was very detailed, and some was very vague, but it was enough. The name Zhang Qian was deeply remembered by countless cultivators.
The old saint leader of the Tianxu Sect was even more murderous. Only at this moment did he know that the person who had learned the Destroying Void Seal and occupied the Xumi World was Zhang Qian. This was not a top secret in the first place, but as soon as Zhang Qian showed up, countless powerful men used their calculus skills to learn a lot of information in an instant.
Even though Zhang Qian was a hidden person, the calculations were almost in person, and with a lot of information at hand, it was very simple. Most of Zhang Qian's experiences were revealed to these big forces.
"No matter what else he does, he is truly a genius in cultivation. He has cultivated to the Earthly Immortal realm in just a few years. He might even be the reincarnation of an ancient golden immortal. That's not all. He even obtained a small world left by the supreme sect in the West!"
"Hmph, I just got news from the Tianxu Sect that this person not only occupied a small world, but also cultivated an incomparably terrifying physical body, almost comparable to a human king. The three half-step Daluo Dao masters that the Tianxu Sect left outside that small world to monitor have been killed by this person!"
"What! Is the news true? These are three Half-step Daluo Dao Masters, and they were killed by this young man who has been practicing for many years?"
"Impossible, is there something wrong? The invincible body of the Human King was cultivated after several generations of practice. According to our calculations, this kid has only practiced for a few years in total. How could he have cultivated a body comparable to that of the Human King?"
Everything else was fine. Even though Zhang Qian cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm in just a few years, it did not shock these major forces. After all, there were countless geniuses in the universe, and there were countless geniuses in cultivation.
But the way of body refining is different. Everyone knows that body refining is an extremely difficult process. Every bit of progress is a slow and painstaking effort. Without a very high basic starting point, one cannot go far on the way of body refining.
But this young man named Zhang Qian had actually cultivated his physical body to a level comparable to that of a human king in just a few years. He even relied on the power of his physical body to directly kill three half-step Daluo Daoists. This was too exaggerated, and many powerful people simply couldn't believe it.
However, they combined the information they had obtained with various calculation techniques and the results they deduced were all like this, which was correct, and made all the powerful people change their expressions.
"A great catastrophe is about to happen, and monsters will surely appear!" Some powerful men breathed a sigh of relief as if they were impressed. At this moment, countless powerful men felt that they had wasted their entire lives in cultivation.
Compared to the shock of these powerful people, the Crazy Taoist Priest, the Human King and others were the most surprised.
Especially the Crazy Taoist. When he was in Hanhai Province, the Crazy Taoist saw that Zhang Qian had mastered a secret method to transform into an immortal golden body. Now, not long has it passed, and Zhang Qian can not only transform into an immortal golden body with the help of external forces, but he has also cultivated himself to a level comparable to that of a human king.
"Did this kid get some incredible treasure? His cultivation is too fast, isn't it? His body is comparable to that of a human king. I wonder how a human king would react."
The crazy Taoist felt happy in other people's misfortune, for he knew how much effort the Human King had put in to cultivate his body to the current level.
The Human King was indeed very depressed at this moment. What made him depressed was not that Zhang Qian's physical body was on par with his, but Zhang Qian's cultivation speed. In just a few years, he had cultivated to a level almost as high as his own.
This unbalanced contrast even made Wang feel discouraged.
"Could it be that Zhang Qian is the most suitable person to pursue the path of enlightenment in the flesh?"
Even the Stone Emperor in the depths of the Emperor's Burial Mausoleum looked into the depths of the long river of destiny of the human race with an inquiring look. He had different ideas from the Human King, and in an instant he thought that Zhang Qian's secret method of body refining must be an earth-shattering and miraculous method, or even a secret method of body refining that transcended everything, otherwise it would be impossible to practice so fast.
This aroused his great interest.
Not only Shi Huang thought so, but soon all the powerful people reacted and realized this. Generally speaking, the path to enlightenment through the physical body is the slowest path of cultivation. However, Zhang Qian's cultivation was so fast, it was obvious that he had mastered an incredible method of body refining.
This true method aroused everyone's interest, and even many powerful people began to make moves.
The old saint leader of the Tianxu Sect was even more regretful. He regretted that if he had known earlier that Zhang Qian possessed such an incredible secret method of body concatenation, when he was in the Xumi World, he would rather let the Human King and the Crazy Taoist destroy his sect's holy land to pieces, and he would rather break into the Xumi World in one fell swoop, capture Zhang Qian alive, and do everything he can to obtain this terrifying secret method of body refining.
The reason why the secret method of body refining is so valued is because there has always been a legend in the heavens and all realms that there are thousands of paths to immortality, but the easiest to achieve is the path of enlightenment through the physical body.
This can be seen from the fact that the lifespan of monks who take the path of achieving enlightenment through the physical body is much longer than that of monks who take the path of immortality or the path of gods and demons.
The difference in lifespan is also the true origin of this legend. Unfortunately, there are very few cultivators who can take the path of achieving enlightenment through the physical body. This path really depends too much on talent and starting point, and requires extremely precious body refining secret methods.
Compared with the true methods of the immortal path, or the true methods of cultivation of the gods and demons, the secret methods of body refining are much fewer. This is also because there are very few cultivators who take the path of achieving enlightenment through the physical body. The secret methods of body refining are far less than the true methods of the immortal path.
