A wisp of dawn breaks through the night, dyeing red the layered clouds for miles, shining into the serene Chan hall, casting a land of brightness.

  As the great sun rises in the east, and day and night alternate in change, Meng Qi slowly opened his eyes in meditation, like a golden light condensing heavily. He saw the five colors and ten colors, saw the purple gas rising into the air, and the sounds of insects chirping, crawling, wind, and whispers were clearly transmitted to his ears, taking away the tranquility of the night and radiating the pulse of life.

  After several days of hard work, he not only stabilized his ears but also made up for the hidden danger of relying on Dan medicine to forcibly open his eyes and not having time to stabilize them through this self-cultivation breakthrough, stepping into a new level.

  It's worth it this time with the use of reincarnation symbol!

  Meng Qi subconsciously rotated the rosary on his left hand, except for the slow progress of Jin Zhongzhao and Huan Xing Dafa, all other aspects had initially reached their goals. The only regret was that even after hanging out at Changhua Temple for dozens of days, he still couldn't find any other traces left by Yuan Meng Dashi, nor did he hear any valuable news. His only clue remained the letter "Where is Ling Shan".

  Knock, knock, knock, someone was lightly tapping on the door.

  "Car owner, towards the car owner, just push the door." Meng Qi had been able to distinguish whose footsteps it was since he opened his ears.

  With a soft creak, Carina and her husband walked in with respectful faces towards Mr.

  "Master, I heard from Mr. Xian Yin that you will be leaving in two days?" asked Che Wanxiu with a soft tone.

  Meng Qi pinched the rosary, automatically transforming into a "high monk state": "Amitabha Buddha, worldly attachments have been exhausted, and another destined person has been helped. The red dust no longer has any lingering thoughts."

  Che Wanxiu sighed and said: "Master's knife skills are divine, it's a rare opportunity to ask you for advice, unfortunately we only have more than 40 days of fate."

  She paused and said, "I saw Mr. Xianyin helping the master collect ordinary secret books, mainly on the aspect of point-hitting, thinking that there was a book 'Rongxue Point-Hitting Hand' at home, so I brought it to ask the master to appraise it."

  Having received the "rebirth grace", she always thought about how to repay Master Zhen Ding, so she went to Duan Xiang's side and asked him what his unfulfilled wishes were. As for Duan Xiang, such a cunning person, as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew her thoughts, so he deliberately mentioned the secret book of acupoints - Che family's "Rongxue Pointing Hand" was just as famous as "Luo Xue Knife Method".

  "The donor's kindness is great, the poor monk is grateful." Meng Qi knew her intention and didn't expose it. He himself needed a decent acupuncture technique at this time.

  Che Wanxiu quietly let out a breath, she was afraid that the law master would refuse, if such great kindness wasn't reciprocated in some way, she would be unable to sleep soundly, and it would absolutely affect her future martial arts training.

  Taking over the dark blue-covered secret book, Meng Qi casually flipped through it. After roughly browsing through it, this "Rong Xue Dian Xue Shou" (Melting Snow Pointing Hole Hand) may not be a good pointing hole skill, but it's also an opening level, which is better than the pointing hole and rushing hole skills that come with the Golden Bell Cover. It can still be used in the short term.

  "Master Fa, this is a copy, you can appreciate it slowly." Che Wanxiu and Mr. Xiang feared that they would disturb Master Zhending's quiet cultivation, so they left the secret book and bid farewell.

  The Dian Xue Fa Men is a practical way, Meng Qi's internal strength is still quite deep, and he also has common sense and martial arts foundation in this aspect, it's not difficult to get started, just carefully studying with relish, suddenly heard the knocking sound of dong dong dong.

  "Please come in, Mr. Luo." Meng Qi smiled and shook his head.

  Luo Qing was still wearing a white robe, his face expressionless, and extremely cold: "Master, this is my swordsmanship and secret heart, it can be used as a reference for your sword practice."

  How many sets of white robes does this guy have to change into...... Meng Qi's mind, however, was filled with inexplicable thoughts. He also did not decline, but accepted it calmly, otherwise it would be easy for Luo Qing and others to feel burdened and unable to let go.

  Luo Qing was not a talkative person, and after sending out the swordsmanship insights, he immediately turned around and left. Meng Qi had not yet had time to lower his head to continue studying "Rong Xue Dian Xue Shou" when he heard another crisp knock on the door.

  "Lao Duan, come on in, why didn't you all come together?" Meng Qi said with a hint of helplessness.

  Duan Xiang stepped into the Zen room with a long sword wrapped in a scabbard, smiling: "When giving gifts, it's better to avoid others. If you're with them, whether the gift is good or not, it's not."

  It's better to give gifts separately, rather than comparing them. If your gift is not as valuable as others, you'll feel embarrassed, but if it's better than theirs, it will make them uncomfortable and you might offend them. It's best to keep things separate and out of sight.

  "No matter what you say, it makes sense." Meng Qi smiled and shook his head. The old fox was indeed flawless in his dealings with others. "In that case, this long sword is the gift you gave to the poor monk?"

  Duan Xiang said with a smile: "Right, Lao Guan has good knives but no good swords, so I'll take the initiative to send out this sword."

  He paused and said, "This sword is a treasured item of the Snow God Palace, passed down through generations. It was my right-hand sword before my five fingers were cut off, called 'Ice Gate Sword'. Later, it was passed to Mingcheng, but his swordsmanship was rough, only using brute force, so the precious sword was collecting dust, merely serving as a decoration, unable to be of any use. Besides, if he wants the sword, there are still several others in our household."

  As an old fox, he naturally knew that if the gift was too precious, Master Zhēndìng might hesitate, so he explained it in detail.

  Meng Qi nodded slightly and took over the "Ice Throne Sword", slowly drawing it out.

  When it is drawn out, there is a sound of the sword body and scabbard colliding, just by listening to it, you can know that it is extremely sharp.

  The long sword is of ordinary size and thickness, but its body is faintly transparent, as if cast in cold ice, with a chill emanating from it.

  Very sharp, with a chilling aura, probably causing numbness after injury... Meng Qi roughly judged from his feelings, then sheathed the long sword and put it aside.

  Duan Xiang's departure allowed Meng Qi to regain his clarity and begin his own efforts in studying the Point Hole Technique.

  At dusk when everyone was having dinner, the guest monk walked in with a letter: "Master Zhen Ding, someone has sent you a letter."

  After getting familiar with each other, Zhikou monk and Meng Qi naturally became like brothers.

  Meng Qi took the letter with a puzzled expression, he didn't have many acquaintances in this world, who would be sending him a letter? Cui Jinxiu? Zhang Zongxian and his wife? Jiangnan Siying?

  On the envelope, there was a seal, which was a pitch-black palm with five fingers clearly visible, giving off an evil feeling.

  "This is Ka Yuan's mark." Duan Xiangfei recognized it at a glance, "I didn't expect that he would reappear in the Jianghu because of Fa Shi after being missing for two years."

  "Reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon" Gai Yuan? Meng Qi nodded slightly, casually glanced over it, then opened the letter and took out the letter paper:

  "I've heard that Master Fa's one sword can penetrate the divine, breaking the boundaries between humans and gods. I'm overjoyed, finally someone will test my three great secret treasures' power. Tomorrow at noon, I'll come to challenge you, please wait for me, Master Fa. - Gai Yuan."

  "Did he open the Spiritual Secret Storehouse?" Che Wanxiu listened to Meng Qi reading the letter, extremely surprised. It was because in the past, she had only opened the Yuanqi and Jingli Secret Storehouses, just like him. Although they each had their own unique martial arts skills, they were not completely defeated by Cui Xuan, who had opened the Spiritual Secret Storehouse, but there was still a difference between them. Who would have thought that he quietly opened the Spiritual Secret Storehouse again, becoming the first person in many years to open all three Great Secret Storehouses and become an absolute top expert!

  This is absolutely the most sensational thing on Jianghu besides Zhendong Fashi!

  Duan Xiang's eyes became distant, and he let out a long sigh: "Time is unforgiving to people. Compared to Gai Yuan, I'm afraid I've lost some of my edge. It seems that for the past two years, he hasn't been active in the jianghu, but instead has been focusing on unlocking his spiritual secrets."

  Gai was more than ten years younger than him, and was in his prime.

  Luo Qing didn't say a word, his left hand lightly stroking the long sword at his waist.

  Meng Qi smiled and put away the letter: "Then I'll wait for Gai Yuan to come to me."

  As the reincarnation of Tianmo, Gai has blood on his hands and a bad reputation. Meng Qi doesn't need to hold back.

  "The Taoist priest must be careful, even if he has not condensed the Qihai Cave, opening the nine orifices of Heaven and Earth, and the three great secret repositories are all opened, it is still extremely terrifying." Che Wanxiu said with some concern.

  Duan Xiangfei also nodded: "The three major secret stashes are all open, and they have formed a complete entity. Their martial arts skills have already surpassed us by one level."

  Xue Shen Gong has many records of this aspect, and Duan Xiangfei is quite understanding of it.

  Meng Qi's faction said calmly and lightly: "This poor monk understands, and will not underestimate."

  Just in time, there's a tester before leaving! Let yourself try it out, without using the sacrificial move, and see the power of your full-strength slash!

  Facing Anguo Xie, one can only fight quickly and decisively. Once he catches his breath and regains his composure, even if severely injured, he will still be able to escape, and at that time the danger will be to oneself!

  So this battle is a "warm-up" for the life-and-death struggle with Anguo Yesheng!

  …………

  The next day, near noon, it was overcast and cloudy with a lot of haze.

  Gai Yuen deliberately spread the news, so people in the nearby martial arts community all knew that he had opened his three great secret stashes and came to challenge Zhen Ding Fa Shi's One Sword Through God technique.

  How can such a grand event in the martial arts world be missed? Therefore, all the heroes and villains who arrived on time gathered at Changhua Temple, occupying the rooftops, trees, and the square, filling every available space.

  "Nie Daxia, do you think that this time, the Reincarnated Tianmo has any hope of defeating the True Ding Fa Master?" someone asked a somewhat famous knight.

  Nie Daxia snorted coldly, "Even if Gai Yuan were to open all three great secret stores, he would only be approaching the boundary between human and divine. How could he possibly compare with a True Divine Law Master like Yitong, who can break through the void? He is sure to lose."

  "I don't think so," another person retorted. "If he knew he was going to lose, why bother challenging? He should have some confidence in winning."

  "Zhen Ding Fa Shi remained still and unmoving, yet defeated 'Luo Xue Dao' Che Fu Ren. The difference in strength between him and the Sect Master is now clear." Nie Da Xia said without any reserve.

  "It's also, I reckon Gai is just thinking of challenging the True Law Master, tempering himself, and pushing the limits of human potential. Heh heh, why don't we guess how many moves it'll take for him to lose?"

  "You'll have to take at least ten shots, I suppose?"

  "If it's that divine sword technique, ten moves will be enough."

  "Right, facing that sword technique, even if the three great secret stashes of Gai Far are all opened, they can at most block only three swords."

  "Are there five knives?"

  "Don't you believe me? Let's make a bet then?"

  Soon, among the onlookers, various betting games emerged, which is a common occurrence in similar situations.

  Suddenly, someone whispered: "The reincarnation of Tianmo has arrived."

  Only on the steps of the square, there was a man in black clothes and shoes walking slowly. He was about 40 years old, with no beard on his face, looking ordinary, but everyone knew he was ruthless and had thrown to death the young son of a righteous knight who refused to surrender to him, and this was just one of the many infamous deeds under his name Tianmo.

  Gai Yun stepped onto the square, stood aside, and quietly waited. Dark clouds gathered, and the sky grew increasingly gloomy.

  "Zhen Ding Fa Shi has come out!" The excited cheers rose and fell in waves.

  Only in the grand hall, a young monk wearing white robes slowly walked out. His face was handsome and dignified, his robes, shoes, and socks were spotless, with a dark red dagger hanging on his right waist and a long sword in a golden scabbard on his left, exuding an air of elegance.

  "What a wonderful performance!" Many people secretly praised her.
