"This 'Opening Mountain Thirty-Six Forms' doesn't have any mental methods, it's just thirty-six axe techniques! It's also my strongest axe technique. As for the 'Nine Cauldron Heavenly Book', from start to finish, it describes the way of heaven and earth clearly and in detail, making it easier for people to cultivate." Yu Huang said, "If you're talking about cultivation, the 'Nine Cauldron Heavenly Book' from beginning to end, clearly and thoroughly explains the way of heaven and earth. Relying on this book, cultivating to the 'Void Realm' is much easier than cultivating with my other left-behind secret books."

  Teng Qing Shan understood.

  Like returning to the ancestral master, he himself is probably also entering emptiness. As for the Heavenly Way, he also has a superficial understanding, and fundamentally does not understand the essence of Heaven and Earth. The 《Returning to the Origin Heart Classic》 written by him naturally appears mysterious and difficult for later generations to comprehend.

  Yu Huang, being well-versed in the essence of heaven and earth, can describe it in a deep and shallow way. Cultivating the "Nine Tripod Heavenly Book" will naturally be faster than cultivating the "Returning to the Origin Heart Classic".

  "The 'Thirty-six Open Mountain Styles' has no mental method, but it is my strongest axe method." Yu Huang sighed, "Because there is no mental method, so just looking at the axe method diagrams, cultivation is too difficult. So I left thirty-six 'Dao' characters on the 'Divine Axe Mountain' in the North Sea Continent. Next to each character, there is an axe method diagram. Looking at my handwriting, you may be able to understand the essence of my axe method!"

  Hong Qingshan smiled, Yu Huang was about the same as himself.

  Like one's own Five Elements spear method, 'like a shadow following the form', 'mixing yuan as one energy', 'poison dragon drill', 'red tiger roar', similarly there is no heart method or oral formula, but rather a sense of atmosphere! When truly deeply experiencing the atmosphere, the spear method will also be enlightened.

  "Heng Qingshan sighed: 'In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to truly pass on these five-line gun techniques. Without a deep understanding of the five-line realm, it's hard to comprehend this technique.'"

  It's all the same principle.

  Hong Qingshan is gun method, Yu Huang is axe method.

  "However, you take the divine axe of opening mountains with you. The divine axe and the 'imprint' contained in the words I left behind combine, and you can see the scene where I used the divine axe to write those thirty-six characters back then. You witness me wielding the axe technique, and after a long period of contemplation... you will definitely gain something. After decades of comprehension, reaching the void state is not impossible." Yu Huang said confidently.

  *******

  When Teng Qing Shan was in the core location of Tian Hong Water Palace, listening to Yu Huang's message from thousands of years ago. He didn't know... his master 'Zhuge Yuanhong' had already led a large army to arrive at Da Yan Mountain.

  ……

  In the late afternoon, there was still a faint red glow on the western horizon.

  Thousands of soldiers are gathering at the foot of Dayan Mountain, led by a man wearing light armor, who is commanding his men to look east.

  Rumble, rumble... The earth shook violently.

  In the distance, a 'Black Dragon' composed of a large number of heavy cavalry was rapidly approaching.

  "Hurry up and follow me to welcome our lord." The man in light armor shouted.

  This time the Black Armor Army rushed at top speed, every black-striped horse galloping freely. The vast army quickly covered several miles and arrived in front of this large group of soldiers.

  "Halt!" A thunderous shout that shook the heavens.

  "Halt!" The war horses stopped quickly one by one.

  "Dismount!"

  At the sound of an order, many black armored soldiers dismounted. Behind Zhuge Yuanhong, who was wearing a white robe, were Yan Motian, the law enforcement elder, and Pangshan's leader, as well as many commanders-in-chief. Even Zhuge Qing was among the crowd, wearing light green armor.

  "Under Yang Ke, pay respects to the clan master." The leader of the guards, Yang Ke, immediately bowed his head. This person was none other than Yang Ke, the lord of Yicheng City.

  "Hmm." Zhuge Yuanhong instructed indifferently, "All Black Armor Army war horses, take care of them well. Meanwhile... prepare to receive them."

  "Yes." Yang Ke bowed his head in response.

  "Have you found out where the Qinghu Island cavalry is stationed?" Zhuge Yuanhong said. Before setting off, Guizong sent a message to Yicheng immediately. The lord of Yicheng, Yang Ke, naturally led thousands of soldiers from the city guard to rush over quickly.

  "Your Excellency, the deployment of the Qinghu Island troops has not changed. This is a map of the Danyang Mountains, where the Qinghu Island troops are located. The positions have already been marked on the map." Yang Ke respectfully presented the map.

  Zhuge Yuanhong took it over, his hand shook, the map unfolded, Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes scanned, and he shouted loudly: "All black armor soldiers, follow me into the mountains!"

  "Old Yan, let's go and meet the people of Qinghu Island." Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Yan Motian beside him.

  Yan Mo Tian also nodded with a smile.

  At that time, under the leadership of the two great pre-heavenly golden elixir masters of the Return to Origin Sect, the three thousand black armor army entered the Great Yan Mountain in a majestic manner and rushed towards the Qinghu Island barracks.

  Zhuge Yuanhong understood... If he foolishly waited outside Danyang Mountain, Qingqingshan might have died and they wouldn't even know. The best and fastest way was to charge straight at Qinghu Island! With the help of 3,000 Black Armor Army... plus the four-foot green sword in his hand, Zhuge Yuanhong wasn't afraid of the people and horses on Qinghu Island either.

  *******

  Teng Qing Shan was completely unaware of what had happened outside.

  In the depths of the Tianhong Water Palace, shrouded in a faint green glow, at the core surrounded by the Nine Tripods, Teng Qing Shan was listening to the words left behind by Yu Huang, the strongest being in the history of the Nine States.

  "I want you to do what I know you can do." The tall, virtual figure smiled faintly and said, "As for the next generation, I won't be able to help them anymore. All I can do is use this method. By the way... when you take that Mountain-Opening Axe later, there will be a little surprise waiting for you."

  Hong Qingshan was stunned, and there was still a surprise?

  "But you don't have to be too optimistic!" The tall virtual figure said, "When the void is complete, it's enough to break through the external void. This internal void is within the human body. As one's own void, or the world, becomes more perfect, the pressure on the body also increases. Therefore, every strong void practitioner must strengthen their physical body."

  Heng Qing Shan could understand the meaning: "Unexpectedly, the strong practitioners who have cultivated to the Dongxu realm still need to turn back and think of ways to strengthen their bodies."

  "My method is to utilize the void world I created to refine a large amount of icy cold energy, transforming and strengthening my body." The tall virtual shadow continued, "Now, the 'Mountain Opening Divine Axe' that I left behind contains my Void Path, so it can support this Tianhong Water Palace. At the same time...this Mountain Opening Divine Axe will also naturally refine icy cold energy."

  "When you grasp the Divine Axe of Opening Mountains for an instant, this 'Ice Cold Power' will strengthen your body." The tall virtual figure said.

  Hong Qingshan was overjoyed.

  Strengthen?

  "This Open Mountain Divine Axe, the speed of refining the icy cold power is far inferior to mine. However... I estimate that it has been refined for many years. So the icy cold power will be a lot." The tall virtual shadow shook his head and smiled, "But don't have too much hope. Because even if it's a congenital Golden Elixir, the body's endurance is limited. I estimate that you can increase your strength by at most 10,000 to 20,000 jin. Beyond that, the body cannot be further enhanced. Any more icy cold power would be wasted."

  "Hmm... the owner of Kyushu's tripod! You've got these, I just hope you can take care of my two descendants a little bit... I won't force you, it's just a request..." Yu Huang smiled slightly at Teng Qing Shan, and the virtual light shadow dissipated.

  Inside that golden halo, calmness was restored.

  The lower level of Tianhong Water Palace was quiet, with only one person, Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qingshan closed his eyes for a moment before he completely calmed down.

  Yu Huang, you'd better draw me a big picture. Teng Qing Shan was very sober, what virtual realm, what cave void? Everything was too fleeting.

  I am now barely 'entering subtlety' at the boundary, and have not even reached the realm of true self, let alone the void.

  As for Dòng Xū, according to Yǔ Huáng's words, among the ten Void Realms, there might be only one strong Dòng Xū cultivator.

  "Now I need to think about how to take the nine tripods out without being discovered." Teng Qing Shan looked at the nine three-legged tripods, "To move the tripods, we must take away the Mountain-Opening Divine Axe!" Teng Qing Shan looked towards the Mountain-Opening Divine Axe floating in mid-air, with a faint green glow flowing around it.

  Teng Qing Shan's eyes lit up.

  Yu Huang said, "The massive 'Ice Cold Force' refined by the Mountain Opening Divine Axe for thousands of years can strengthen one's body?" Teng Qing Shan narrowed his eyes, "Yu Huang, perhaps the bodies of those who have cultivated the Innate Golden Elixir can withstand an increase of 10,000 to 20,000 jin of force. But... I am different from them."

  Teng Qing Shan was certain that his physical endurance was absolutely stronger than that of a congenital Golden Dan cultivator!

  Take three steps forward!

  He looked up at the dark and majestic mountain-axe that was close at hand, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from it, and Teng Qing Shan stretched out his right hand.

  "It's so cold!" As soon as he grabbed the axe handle, his first feeling was that it was icy.

  Right after that——

  The entire Tianhong Water Palace originally flowing green light suddenly stopped.

  "Ka ka ~~" A white light burst out from the Kaiming Divine Axe, along the axe handle, quickly extending to Teng Qing's arm, and then... this strange white light penetrated into Teng Qing's body.

  Cold!

  Piercingly cold!

  Freezing cold that pierces the soul! Besides the chill, there is also intense pain, aching to the bone... spreading throughout every part of the body.

  "Hmm~~~"

  The surface of Kaisan's divine axe was a brilliant white glow, and the skin on his face also had a faint white glow emanating from it.

  Hong Qing's face was deathly pale, his forehead bulged with green veins, his muscles were twisted and contorted, and his eyes were a deep red. Whether it was his internal organs or his tendons and muscles, they were all undergoing astonishing changes... His bones and tendons seemed to be being pounded by a massive iron hammer, constantly breaking through and becoming even harder, his entire body felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants, his hands and feet convulsing uncontrollably.

  "Ah~~" Tong Qing's throat let out an unbearable painful low growl.

  Pfft!

  Teng Qing's forehead bulged with blue veins, and a bright red blood burst out.

  Bang! Bang!

  The skin on his face cracked open, and fresh blood splattered out. His face was covered in blood, causing the human skin mask he had been wearing to fall off.

  "Ah~~~" A low, suppressed growl echoed from Qingyue Mountain, his entire body's muscles and bones making a fierce noise as his height slowly increased.

  "It really freaking hurts!" Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but let out a loud roar, his entire body kneeling on the ground, the pain was so unbearable that he couldn't help but punch the ground with his fist, the skin on his right fist had already cracked open, and his knuckles were white. A surge of terrifying power, like that of a wild beast, flowed through his body.

  "Boom!" "Boom!" The sound of explosions echoed, and the green ground suddenly appeared with shocking craters. The blood-soaked body of Teng Qing Shan, over eight feet tall, was like a bloody demon god smashing into the ground.

  It seems like this can transfer some of the pain.
