It Is the Zhongyuan Festival Again

Time passed quickly.

Chen Feng now only needed to instruct two disciples.

One was Yang Xuan in the Yijing Sutra.

The other was Amir in the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

As for Angelina’s Northern Darkness Divine Art, Liu Weiwei handled that.

And Aiden’s disciple, Anthony, who was learning the Indestructible Golden Body, was left to Shuangshuang to teach.

After Shuangshuang met the conditions for passing on the technique a second time.

Chen Feng passed down the Indestructible Golden Body to his daughter.

Originally, Shuangshuang had wanted to learn the Sixteen Fatal Swords.

But Chen Feng did not want his daughter to spend her life fighting and killing.

So he gave her a defensive art instead.

However, the Indestructible Golden Body at the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man was naturally capable of more than just defense.

Shuangshuang quickly developed a way to use it offensively.

That was to activate the Indestructible Golden Body.

And then use the Drifting Cloud Step to simply ram into people.

She didn't even need a metal baton anymore.

With her mastery of the Indestructible Golden Body at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, teaching her junior fellow disciple Anthony was child’s play for Shuangshuang.

As for the other disciples.

Chen Feng didn’t need to instruct them either.

In terms of any single art, his own level wasn’t even as high as his disciples’.

Take Jin Youxi, Liu Weiwei, Zhao Bing, and Gu Qianqian.

All of them had surpassed their teacher.

As for Long Jiaojiao.

Since the day they parted ways.

Chen Feng had never seen that disciple again.

At the same time, he learned from Yang Xuan.

That the Yijing Sutra had another effect.

It healed injuries extremely quickly.

According to Yang Xuan’s firsthand experience.

One night, while working late with three energetic young women.

He got too carried away and accidentally snapped it.

He had thought he was done for.

Not wanting to embarrass his master, he didn’t dare go to the hospital.

He gritted his teeth and endured through sheer willpower.

He had planned to keep it a secret.

But the next day, while practicing, after circulating the Yijing Sutra a few times, he found that his injury was healing rapidly.

It only took a single day.

For a full recovery.

Afterward, Yang Xuan had one of the young women snap it again.

And he found that the Yijing Sutra truly had healing properties.

Chen Feng was greatly shocked by this.

Not by the healing effect.

But by the way his disciple’s mind worked.

“Did you really need to snap it again?”

Though, he had no idea whether Yang Xuan’s broken part was a finger or a toe.

Chen Feng now, besides practicing the Yijing Sutra daily to strengthen himself.

Had also begun to work on the idea of fusing his techniques together.

At present, he possessed eleven different martial arts.

Not a bit inferior to Zhang Bowen back in the day.

And every single one of them was at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.

That was an achievement ordinary people could never reach.

That was his only advantage right now.

He had to figure out how to use it.

He looked at the information panel in his mind.

"Martial Arts Level: Peak Martial Saint."

"Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Ten Forms of Buddha’s Palm, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Ten Forms of Heaven’s Maiming Kick, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Northern Darkness Divine Art, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Seven-Wonder Zither, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Sixteen Fatal Swords, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Indestructible Golden Body, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Thirteen-Level Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Drifting Cloud Step, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Yijing Sutra, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Dragon God Art, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Blood Qi Value: 105476."

Chen Feng was confident.

With his blood qi value being twice that of an ordinary Peak Martial Saint, plus eleven martial arts at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.

Going head-on against dozens of Peak Martial Saints wouldn’t be a problem.

The real problem was that he still came up short against Martial Gods.

He didn’t even know whether the current him could match Wei Qianqiu from back then.

...

The second year.

The martial arts tournament still hadn’t started.

Though no one knew the exact reason.

Everyone guessed it had something to do with Su Yuanshan.

The Martial Arts Guild currently had no one in the mood to care about the tournament.

Everyone was waiting for the fifteenth of July.

Shuangshuang, on the other hand, was looking forward to the twenty-second of July.

Because her grandfather had said.

Her mother would be brought back to life on that day.

Amid everyone’s waiting.

Time quickly arrived at July.

Starting from the first day of July.

Members of the Swallowing Heaven Club had already begun arriving at the Kunlun Mountains one after another.

By the fifteenth of July.

The Kunlun Mountains had gathered tens of thousands of people.

The Swallowing Heaven Club was no longer trying to hide things.

With Su Yuanshan, a Martial God, in their midst.

Even the Martial Arts Guild people gave them a wide berth.

The Swallowing Heaven Club had become the second largest organization after the Martial Arts Guild.

Su Yuanshan had his people.

Hand out a list of hexagrams to everyone.

The list contained thirty hexagrams in total.

The three main coffin hexagrams were:

Heaven and Earth Denial.

Wind over Earth.

Lake over Mountain.

Then there were twenty-seven other ghost-tomb coffins represented by hexagrams.

Those were all subordinates of Su Yuanshan in the underworld.

Once a ghost-tomb coffin was found.

Su Yuanshan would bring a prepared stand-in corpse.

These were people he had sentenced to death.

And on this day, he had prepared thirty of them in total.

...

Feng Tengyun of the Martial Arts Guild.

Got the news immediately.

When he learned that Su Yuanshan had announced he would resurrect thirty Martial Gods at once.

Every high-ranking member of the Martial Arts Guild knew disaster was coming.

If those thirty Martial Gods were resurrected.

From then on, the world would belong to Su Yuanshan.

If every year on the fifteenth of July, thirty Martial Gods sealed off the Kunlun Mountains.

Then they would have absolutely no chance.

“We must act this time!”

Feng Tengyun said with resolute determination.

The others also knew that if they missed this opportunity.

They might never get another one.

But even the current opportunity was almost hopeless.

“But we are bound to lose, unlike the Swallowing Heaven Club back then, which could dig tunnels and use the cover of darkness.”

“With Su Yuanshan here, we can’t even search for those two ghost-tomb coffins.”

“If our plan fails, the consequences will be hard for us to bear.”

“And if we don’t act, the consequences are also too heavy to bear.”

...

The meeting room immediately erupted into heated debate.

In short, acting was a problem.

And not acting was also a problem.

At the critical moment.

It was Feng Tengyun who spoke up.

“It’s true that we have no chance to search for those two hexagram coffins.”

“But we don’t have to search for them anymore.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

“Feng Lao, what do you mean?”

Feng Tengyun calmly raised the hexagram list in his hand.

It was the very list of hexagrams that Su Yuanshan wanted to resurrect.

He said calmly.

“Because aside from these ghost-tomb coffins on this list.”

“We can resurrect all the others.”

“Whether they are Su Yuanshan’s enemies or not.”

“They are definitely not Su Yuanshan’s friends.”

“Most importantly, we have no other choice.”

“Either we fight with everything we have, or we accept the rule of the tyrant Su Yuanshan.”

The meeting room fell silent.

After a long while.

People began to speak one after another.

“Then what do we do? Opening one coffin costs the life of one person!”

“Are we going to greet Su Yuanshan’s slaughter while also sending our own people to die?”

“The odds of success are far too slim. How many lives do we have to throw into this?”

“Success is almost impossible. It’s better to live under Su Yuanshan’s rule for now and wait for another chance later.”

"Later? How much later? A year, ten years, or even hundreds or thousands of years?"

"Do you want the whole of Xia, and even the entire world, to become like Xian Du?"

"Either way, there's no way I'll accept the Swallow Heaven Club ruling the world."

...

The meeting room erupted in debate once again.

Feng Tengyun listened quietly.

After everyone had voiced their fears and doubts from the depths of their hearts,

he finally spoke in a calm tone:

"So this matter is no longer for us to decide."

"Let the true masters of this world make their own choice!"
