In a sparsely populated valley somewhere in Sichuan, there is a magnificent building complex. The building covers an area of thousands of meters.
There were all sorts of pavilions, gardens, and scenery. It looked just like a palace. And on the front door of the mansion, the words ”Wu Residence” were written in flamboyant calligraphy.
The architecture of the mansion gave off a feeling like it had returned to the ancient times. It was just like the mansions of ancient nobles, imposing and majestic.
At that moment, there were red cloth strips hanging on top of the doors of the buildings. There were big red lanterns hanging on the doors. Two big red ”Happy” characters were pasted on the doors. The servants inside came and went, extremely busy.
In the backyard of this building, there was a man with average looks, but he was very angular. He wore a leather jacket, and jeans. He sat cross-legged on a rock garden.
The simple attire did not match the surroundings. One was filled with the aura of modernization while the other was filled with the solemn aura of an elder. It felt awkward no matter how one looked at it.
Not only did this man dress inappropriately for his surroundings, his movements were also very strange. He placed his hands above his dantian, his left hand above his right, and the thumbs of his hands together in a circular arc.
Wasn't this the posture of one who was often meditating and cultivating inner force cultivation techniques on television? Could it be …
Upon careful observation, one could see the slight rise and fall of the man's chest. And in this breath and breath, it was as if there was a strong suction force and tension. As the man breathed, everything in the surroundings started to sway back and forth.
All of a sudden, the whole rear garden became a strange scene, as if one was in the middle of a sea, which made one's imagination run wild.
At the same time, his whole body seemed to have merged into this quiet environment. If one did not use their eyes, they would not even be able to sense the existence of this person.
Time passed minute after minute. It was sunset when the man slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on his face.
”I didn't expect that this trip to the mortal world would cause my cultivation level to rise so much. I believe it won't be long before I break through to the fifth stage of the” Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique ”.” The man said in satisfaction as he felt his body become even stronger.
”Tian!” At this moment, a deep voice came from behind. When the man had finished, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a long robe. He was standing in the pavilion not far away, nodding to himself in satisfaction.
”Father.” The man stood up from the ground and tidied up his clothes. With a tap of his feet, he leapt several dozen meters away, quickly arriving at the middle-aged man's side.
”Father, how long have you been here?” As Wu Tian spoke, he found a seat and sat down. At the same time, he grabbed the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of water before gulping it down.
”Hur hur, I've been here for a while.” Wu Hao looked at Wu Tian with satisfaction. He sat down as he said this and asked, ”Seeing that you are about to break through, I did not disturb you? Seeing your robust body and light footsteps, it should be true that you have broken through! ”
”Yes, I've broken through. I've already reached the fourth level, and I'm not too far from the fifth level.” Wu Tian replied with a nod.
”That's right. When I was your age and your cultivation only broke through to the third level, your achievements in the future would definitely surpass mine.” Wu Hao continued to ask, ”Oh right, how many handprints have you practiced the Hidden Hand Seal to?”
”Uh, this …”
”What's there to be unsure of? The first place is the second place. It's not like I can't eat you up.” Wu Hao hurriedly asked when he saw that Wu Tian was hesitating.
Wu Hao knew the difficulty of practicing ”Secret Sect's Great Palm Technique”. There were a total of nine hand seals. The more he practiced, the more difficult it would become. Even for him, he had only managed to cultivate the seventh hand seal. He was still two hand seals away from reaching great circle.
It was always like this: no one of the same level could be a match for him. Once he mastered all nine hand seals and reached the realm of nine by nine to one, then the power of the Secret Sect's hand seals would increase by several times. At that time, with the strength of a middle Xiantian realm, no one would be his match.
(In this case, the Ancient Martial Family has different levels of cultivators: soldier level, master level, master level, sect level, and Xiantian realm.) Each realm was further divided into three levels.
Unfortunately, he had already been stuck in the eighth seal for ten years. After ten years, he still hadn't made any progress in the 'Secret Sect's Great Palm'. One could imagine the difficulty of practicing this technique.
”The second one is ready, but the third one will be ready soon.” Wu Tian felt a little apprehensive. The《 Heavenly Element Mantra》 and《 Secret Sect's Palm》 were the most precious treasures of the Wu Clan. The two of them had to be combined together in order to display a formidable might.
One had to know that the ”Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique” specialized in internal energy and the rate of increase in internal energy was very fast. Unfortunately, it did not have much power on its own.
The ancestors of the Wu Clan had also noticed this. They had wanted to change to another cultivation technique, but how could a high-grade one be found so easily?
It just so happened that at that time, the Western Regions' secret sect traitor, Timothy, stole a lot of secret martial arts books and fled into the Central Plains. At that time, the High Monk of the Secret Martial School of the Western Regions had come to the Central Plains, but he hadn't been able to find Tidamor for a long time.
