Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Rules come from reality, but they transcend reality.

This is what spiritual practice is all about.

As the Supreme Douluo, one needs to observe the laws of the operation of heaven and earth and comprehend the principles of all things in the universe.

This process uses the mind as a guide to unravel the complex world, extract one's own cognition, and then melt these cognitions into rules.

Soul power and mental power are carried by the physical body; thoughts and artistic conception require the support of mental power; and the realm requires the virtual soul as its cornerstone.

Rules also need a carrier to be manifested.

Just like Chen Zixiu, he used his own spiritual will to carry the illusory sword intent.

The spiritual will and the sword intent of nothingness merged with each other, and after constant condensation, their true meanings gradually emerged.

His sword intent of nothingness was sublimated from the sword intent of selflessness. Its quality was inherently superior, so it was naturally difficult to integrate it.

In fact, thoughts and artistic conception are the attribute manifestations of mental power. Through the auxiliary soul power and the amplification of martial soul, the attack, defense and other abilities can be greatly enhanced.

If we use a cultivation progress bar to describe it, it would be from the initial intention, to the minor success of the selfless sword intent, to the major success of the nothingness sword intent, and then through continuous refinement, this process is the process of gradually moving towards perfection.

When the condensation reaches its extreme and achieves a qualitative change, that is the formation of rules, which is actually similar to the principle of soul power compression.

He had just begun to integrate a trace of the Void Sword Intention, but all things are difficult at the beginning. With this little beginning, there will be more possibilities later. If there is one, there will be two.

Of course, his sword intent of nothingness has not yet reached true perfection and reached his personal upper limit bottleneck.

However, we are extremely lucky to be able to start the integration early.

………………

In a remote and quiet courtyard,

Ma Tianyang stared at the sword light that shot straight into the sky and murmured, "What on earth are those old bastards from the Chen family doing?"

Last night's activities continued until late at night, causing many allies who came from afar to choose to rest in the spacious Duke's Palace.

It is easy to accommodate thousands of people in the Duke's Palace, which covers an area of ​​several miles.

Due to the long distance, they could only see the dazzling sword light but could not deeply feel the shock behind it.

Chen Zixiu's sword strike was just a casual attack, but in terms of power, Chen Cong could also achieve such a level by using his ultimate move, the eighth soul skill 'A Gamble of the Universe'.

Therefore, they did not realize that this was the enlightenment of a level 98 Supreme Douluo.

Ma Zhibin glanced at the sword light and said calmly: "Maybe those old guys are testing their moves."

"Maybe it was those young men of the Chen family's Seven Star Sword who gained some insights from the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Formation and came up with some new tricks."

Ma Liangji on the side echoed in a low voice: "It is very likely that they have gained some experience after the battle with the Saint Son of Qian Daoliu."

Ma Zhibin took a sip of "Ice and Fire" and said leisurely, "They are all geniuses with high comprehension. I heard that they were discussing how to perfect the Big Dipper Sword Formation yesterday."

Ma Liangji immediately frowned when he heard this: "It needs to be improved? Then how can we live?"

Ma Tianyang glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Look at them, and then look at you!"

"We are both young men, but you were defeated by that Dust Sword Master in one move. You really bring shame to my Ma family!"

Ma Liangji stood there with his head down like a frightened quail, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, Ma Zhibin interrupted leisurely: "Dad, their race is different."

Ma Tianyang pointed at Ma Zhibin angrily and said angrily: "I am so unlucky that I gave birth to a rebellious son like you!"

Ma Zhibin said with disdain: "Dad, the problem is that you have already given birth to me, and you can't put me back now. Please accept my condolences."

As if inspired by Ma Zhibin, Ma Liangji mustered up his courage and stammered, "Yes, Grandpa. I suffered a loss this time because I didn't understand Dust Sword Master. Next time I fight, I will definitely not be defeated in one move."

“Besides, if my second sister comes, with her strength on the Tianjiao Ranking, she might be able to hold out for a few moves.”

"I didn't want to come in the first place. I wanted my second sister to come, but you refused."

Ma Tianyang's face was so dark that it seemed like ink could drip out of it. He angrily said, "I am so pissed off! You are a bunch of useless people!"

Ma Zhibin chuckled, and leisurely tasted another mouthful of 'Ice and Fire', and said lightly: "I'm an old man now, shouldn't I be used to it by now?"

Ma Tianyang glared at him fiercely, with dissatisfaction in his tone: "Where is Xiaoliang? Where is he now?"

Ma Zhibin replied: "I handed it over to Xiaojun yesterday. He said that he would be able to return us a well-behaved and sensible mistress in three days."

Ma Tianyang's expression changed unpredictably, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, then I will wait and see whether this genius of the Chen family can do it."

Ma Zhibin seemed confident: "I still have confidence in him."

At this time, Ma Tianyang knocked on the table and asked in a serious tone: "What did you get yesterday?"

Ma Zhibin chuckled and replied, "Two eighth-grade purple ganoderma, eight seventh-grade purple ganoderma, and eighty jars of seventh-grade wine."

Ma Tianyang raised his lips and revealed a satisfied smile: "Well done, remember to hand it over to the clan treasury later."

Ma Zhibin was immediately displeased when he heard this: "Damn it, you old fool, I spent a lot of effort to get this, and you want to hand it over with just one sentence? You are overthinking it."

Ma Tianyang slammed the table and said angrily: "What did you say, you bastard?!"

Ma Zhibin was not to be outdone and slammed the table in response: "Old Immortal, the rest are fine, but I want these two eighth-grade purple ganoderma plus the one I bought at the auction. I want all three."

Ma Tianyang's veins were throbbing, his eyes were wide open, and a domineering and destructive aura instantly emanated from him: "What do you want to do, you bastard? This eighth-grade purple ganoderma is the most important, it's worth everything else!"

Ma Zhibin also trembled violently, and a fiery and violent aura rose up. Although it was not as strong as Ma Tianyang, he was not inferior: "Of course it's for my son! The success rate of the eighth-grade purple ganoderma is only 30%, which is too low!"

Ma Tianyang said angrily: "Do you know how many people in the clan are waiting for this eighth-grade purple fungus?"

Ma Zhibin said firmly: "I got those two purple mushrooms by myself using favors and paying a price. I make the decision myself."

"As for the one that was sold at the auction, Liangcai, as the grandson of the clan leader, should be given one to try out first. Isn't that too much?"

Ma Tianyang was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You!"

Ma Zhibin refused to give in: "You old bastard, I'm putting this out there. Unless you kill me, there's no way!"

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.

Ma Zhibin stared with his eyes wide open, his expression calm and composed, and said: "Xiao Jun also revealed a secret. Taking three purple ganoderma at the same time will have unexpected miraculous effects."

"Old man, you don't want your third grandson to live a mediocre life and end up in disgrace, right?"

"What's more, he asked me to bring Liangcai over to show him that there might be other ways to improve Liangcai's qualifications."

Ma Zhibin's tone became more determined: "Also, I have made an appointment with Chen Xun. I will go to him for a drink in the next few days."

"He didn't postpone it, which proves that they still have these good things in their hands."

"You old fool, if you want more, then go and sell favors yourself."

"Even if we don't have it now, we can come back next year."

"Didn't you hear Uncle Yu say that there will be another auction next year?"

Ma Tianyang's momentum gradually weakened, and he asked: "How sure are you?"

Ma Zhibin shook his head: "I don't know, but you have seen Xiaojun's clever mind."

"Since he said so, the effect must be much better than one strain."

Ma Tianyang gnashed his teeth and said, "You bastard, you have to think it over carefully! Even if Liangcai has improved his innate soul power, his martial soul is only a golden pheasant!"

Ma Zhibin did not give in: "What's wrong with Jinji? He is also my son! I know my limits."

Ma Tianyang waved his hand helplessly: "Go away! Don't bother me here."

Ma Zhibin chuckled and ran out, shouting, "You old bastard, remember to pay the Chen family!"

………………

A green-feathered falcon with wings glowing with emerald green luster cut through the sky and gracefully landed on the bluestone slab in the center of a magnificent courtyard. A slender and delicate bamboo tube was firmly tied between its claws, making it particularly eye-catching.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappled onto its smooth feathers, shimmering with a soft luster.

At this time, in a room deep in the courtyard with simple decoration and a quiet atmosphere, an old servant in a dark robe was standing respectfully in front of an old man.

The old man sat on a carved pearwood chair with his back to the window, and an imperceptible aura of majesty seemed to surround him.

"Master, this is what happened at the Chen family's banquet yesterday."

The old servant's voice was low and steady. He presented a sealed letter with a special emblem on it in both hands.

The old man by the window turned around slowly after hearing this, and his face gradually became clear under the light - it was a slightly sinister face, and the most eye-catching thing was his pair of vertical pupils that were different from ordinary people.

He took the letter calmly, then sat down, gently unfolded the letter, and read it carefully word by word.

"I didn't expect that the Chen family actually had four titles. Not only has their strength recovered, but it has also rebounded a bit."

There was a hint of surprise in the old man's tone, but more of it was calmness.

He continued reading, his brows relaxed: "He went too, that's good."

Then, his eyes stayed on the three words "Qian Daoliu", and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Now you are actually traveling, She Yaolei and Sagur? Interesting."

Apparently, the characters behind these names were not new to him and might even have aroused some special interest.

Finally, the old man stroked his chin with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "The Chen family's Seven Star Sword? The Big Dipper Tiangang Formation? Titled combat power? Do Qiandaoliu and Tiangang Formation have the level of titled combat power?"

After a moment of silence, the old man looked up at the old servant and said in a low and powerful voice: "Yan Jiu."

The old servant immediately responded: "Master."

"Notify them," the old man said with unquestionable authority, "Increase surveillance on the Chen family. As for the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Formation, get detailed information about it at all costs."

"at the same time,…………"

Upon hearing this, the old servant You Jiu nodded respectfully, then turned and left to carry out the order given by the old man.

The room returned to peace again, leaving only the old man, who sat quietly by the window, gazing at the ever-changing sea of ​​clouds outside, thinking about the upcoming changes in the situation.

After watching Yan Jiu leave, the old man once again focused his attention on the letter paper in his hand, which made him fall into deep thought.

The Chen family's powerful appearance, the pile of treasures, and the Big Dipper Tiangang Formation, all of these seemed to indicate that things were not simple.

He stood up and slowly walked to one side of the room, where a huge map was hung, detailing the distribution and boundaries of the major forces.
