Chapter 725: Stagnation
...
"Don't be nervous. I have just seen the dispute between you and the boy named Lei Fan. According to my observation, the time you have been practicing has caused the backlash of internal energy, and your cultivation has stagnated. In my opinion, you have been a level 4 martial artist for two years." I feel that your words are not heavy enough, Ou Chuyang Jinbu said.
Now, Shao Yang completely surrendered. It can be seen that his strength is not very powerful, but he can even see when he made a mistake in iu refining. It is impossible to say that the person in front of him is not as simple as a martial master. However, even so, Shao Yang still looked directly at Ou Chuyang with an hostile look, even more hostile than before.
Ou Chuyang knew that his words made the boy look alert and hurriedly said, "Do you want to be a strong man? If you want to, I can help you."
Becoming a strong man? Shao Yang dreamed that otherwise he would not have been practicing hard all the time, and even more so, it would have caused the internal energy to retaliate, making his cultivation unable to enter the country.
Now, the stranger in front of him was actually asking for help, and Shao Yang couldn't help but feel moved, but Shao Yang thought again that there was nothing in the world that would be worth it, and this person must have his purpose. So Shao Yang asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ou Chuyang smiled and said, "I am an outsider and I am not familiar with this place. If you can become my guide, I can let you develop the evil diseases in the past two years and re-train into a peerless strong man. I don't know if you have this interest."
"Really?" Shao Yang said with his eyes shining.
Ou Chuyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do I need to lie to you?"
"good."
After gaining Shao Yangqi's trust, Ou Chuyang finally found the guide to this chaotic sea. In fact, since Ou Chuyang set foot in this area, Ou Chuyang had this idea. No matter where he was, it would not be a good thing for anyone to be unfamiliar with the place.
The dispute between Shao Yang and Lei Fan can be said to have given Ou Chuyang a chance, otherwise Ou Chuyang would not be able to let Shao Yang sincerely help him in such a short time.
Of course, Ou Chuyang did not deceive Shao Yang. He did have the ability to get Shao Yang to regain his iu training. Just imagine, it would be too easy for a powerful sect-level alchemist, a master of the formation world and a strong martial saint.
As he walked up the way, Ou Chuyang kept learning about the Chaos Star Sea from Shao Yang. Although this young man was not old and was only eighteen years old, he had a lot of knowledge stored in his mind.
The Chaoxing Sea is a general term for the vast area of the East China Sea. It is distributed in a general way and is roughly divided into three major territories, which are controlled by formation practitioners, alchemy practitioners, and instrument practitioners. Since what you learn are all partial and have no connection with interests, you have always been in a state of peace and peace.
Luoyan Island, which is the small island where Ou Chuyang is currently located, is the territory of this formation cultivator. The territory of the formation cultivator is called the Nanwan Islands by Shao Yang. This archipelago is extremely vast, with no less than a thousand islands of large and large. Due to geographical reasons and artificial division, the Nanwan Islands are controlled by three different factions of formation cultivator sects.
These three major sects are: Xingluomen, Taixuan Sect and the most powerful Guiyuan Sect.
The three major sects each hold one side, and their strengths are almost the same. Guiyuan Sect should be the strongest. These three major sects are considered to be different factions.
The way of the Star Romon cultivation formation is based on celestial phenomena and is known for its astrology. According to Shao Yang's oral statement, the leaders of this Star Romon's past dynasties were all outstanding people and were very knowledgeable about astrological signs and celestial bodies. Their faction of cultivation formation advocated the main focus of the stars.
Taixuanmen, when you understand all things, you also use these things as the basis for cultivating arrays. You usually set up arrays using terrain, surrounding plants, rocks and other geographical phenomena, and advocate that all things are the main ones.
As for Guiyuan Sect, it is said to be the oldest formation sect. The tone of this sect is different from the previous two major sects. It advocates that heaven and earth start with, and the word "one" is also emphasized in setting up formations.
Due to different concepts, these three major sects have fought each other for thousands of years, but they have never distinguished the superiority. Of course, Ou Chuyang can understand it. As the saying goes, the beginning of the great way is balanced. All paranoia is not conducive to cultivating the way of the formation to the extreme. This is also the most basic nature that human beings have.
But that's why the entire Chaoxing Sea area cultivated a formation and ended up in a situation where the world was three parts.
Shao Yang is the loyal supporter of this Star Luo Men faction.
Speaking of Shao Yang, although he is not very big, his family background is not high or low. It is just because his father is a descendant of a small sect, and when he reaches the peak of a martial artist in his father's generation, he is not talented and martial artists cannot do it. He is over fifty years old. Such cultivation is extremely low in the Chaoxing Sea.
Shao Yang's father is nothing, but Shao Yang's mother is quite young. It is said that his mother is a descendant of the Rong family, the four major families under Xingluomen. By chance, Shao Yang's father hero saved Mei and met his mother. Then, under the pressure of the family, his mother resolutely gave up the identity of a family little jie and followed Shao Yang's father to live in seclusion on this small island of Luoyan.
Ou Chuyang expressed deep sympathy and admiration for Shao Yang's mother's behavior. Just imagine how determined and mentally it takes to allow a person to give up his status, identity and power to spend his life with a down-and-out and unsuccessful monk.
Great love is boundless. The power of love is really unimaginable.
It is precisely because of this relationship that everyone knows Shao Yang's mother's identity. Shao Yang then worked hard for his father, intending to use the strength he has cultivated to justify his father's name and tell the younger generations in the Chaoxing Sea that the Shao family, Shao Yang and his son, are not wastes that people can tolerate.
However, Shao Yang was not lucky. At the age of sixteen, in order to break through to the fifth-level martial artist, his rush to practice directly led to poor internal energy. From then on, his cultivation stagnated and then ended up in the laughing stock of Luoyandao. However, Shao Yang was not discouraged. For two years, he has been practicing constantly, and even if he cannot break through, he has never given up.
Ou Chuyang wanted to help Shao Yang, in addition to letting him become his guide here, there was another thing that he fell in love with this boy's perseverance.
Thinking about it, I was still at this time, Ou Chuyang felt that his experiences with this boy were very similar in some places, so he felt helpful.
Along the way, Ou Chuyang and Shao Yang had a light understanding of Wu and gradually narrowed the distance between the two. Although the two still maintained an unclear interest relationship, Shao Yang eventually greatly reduced his guard against Ou Chuyang.
"Senior, here."
"Is this your home?" Ou Chuyang looked at the row of wooden houses only a thousand meters away by the sea and said in surprise.
According to Ou Chuyang's understanding of Shao Yang's family background, even if his father is in a down-and-out position, as a peak martial artist, he will not live a life of a fisherman, let alone his mother is a young jie from a noble family. How is this possible?
Seeing the expression on Ou Chuyang's face, Shao Yang lowered his head with regret and said, "Oh, senior, I don't know anything. After my mother left the Rong family, she cut off contact with the family. The Rong family could not help us. As for me and my father, what is a martial artist in this chaotic sea of stars?"
"The martial arts master is nothing?" Ou Chuyang didn't quite understand this, but he realized it after hearing Shao Yang explain it carefully for him.
It turns out that the era where the Luanxing Sea is now located is very different. The formation cultivation path in the Luanxing Sea before was mainly based on the formation cultivation, and they don’t care about their personal cultivation at all. I don’t know when someone discovered that the stronger the strength, the stronger the formation cultivation will be. In this way, the entire Luanxing Sea, let alone the Nanwan Islands, even the alchemy and weapon cultivation place will set rules at the same time.
Countless array cultivators have used their great supernatural powers to establish a cultivator realm on every inhabited island. This cultivator realm is a formation realm similar to the small five elements derived array, and its function is to improve personal cultivation through the array realm. This place has long become the most basic thing in the Chaos Star Sea. No one doesn't like it because it can bring people a higher and faster place to refine.
Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the talent in the sea of Chaoxing has doubled, and the martial arts cultivator's style has emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Just imagine, there are Chaoxing sea of Chaoxing in this state of the cultivator, so why worry about not having powerful warriors appearing?
Now, Ou Chuyang finally understood why the Martial God Tower blocked the Witch Lord and the Sea of Chaos Stars. Just imagine, if a group of monks with the realm of thousands of cultivators descended to the continent, wouldn’t that continent be sad?
Feeling the sadness in Shao Yang's heart, Ou Chuyang could also understand the misery of family background and being bullied, but then immediately showed up a gentle smile like the spring breeze, patted Shao Yang on the shoulder and said, "The past has passed, everything must be looked forward. Believe me, from now on, you will become different."
Listening to Ou Chuyang's confident words, Shao Yang suddenly felt that his heart was driven by the young man now, and it was surging. For some reason, during the chatting along the way, Shao Yang gradually began to trust Ou Chuyang, and even Ou Chuyang said that he had become a peerless strong man, he couldn't help but believe it.
"By the way, I'll arrive at your house later, don't reveal my identity." Ou Chuyang remembered his origin, and was afraid that Shao Yang would reveal his mouth and remind him.
Shao Yang asked, "What do I say?"
Ou Chuyang thought for a while and said, "Just say I am a martial artist, so I don't need to mention the origin."
"Oh." Shao Yang stammered and took Ou Chuyang back to the wooden house.
Unfortunately, Shao Yang's father Shao Zhong was not in the house, and Shao Yang's mother also went to the neighboring village to buy rice.
After entering the second wooden house, Shao Yang diligently cleaned up the things inside, and the cottage immediately became simple and clean.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Ou Chuyang nodded in admiration.
After Shao Yang finished packing, he prepared some ung mattresses that he hadn't used for a long time and took them over. Although the ung mattresses were a little old, they were still very clean. Ou Chuyang didn't care about these things. He just closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. Until all the closures were finished, Shao Yang did not leave. He stood in the house and looked at Ou Chuyang who was alive without saying a word.
For an entire hour, neither of them spoke.
Of course, Ou Chuyang did not completely block his spiritual consciousness. He has been using the Great Spiritual Transparency Technique to observe the changes in Shao Yang's psychology.
According to Ou Chuyang's view, if you want to become a peerless strong man based on Shao Yang's body, you must have a very calm and perseverance, otherwise the great way will not be achieved. He is testing Shao Yang's patience to see how long this young man can last.
As Ou Chuyang expected, after an hour, Shao Yang finally couldn't help it and whispered: "Senior~"
Slowly opening his eyes, Ou Chuyang asked with a smile: "Is there anything else?"
When Shao Yang heard this, he almost fell out of breath. However, he held back and said, "Senior, what did you tell me~"
"Oh." Ou Chuyang pretended to realize, "What's the hurry? I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
As he said that, Ou Chuyang issued an order to expel guests.
Shao Yang didn't know Ou Chuyang's strength, but he knew that Ou Chuyang's strength would never be simple. Such powerful people acted alone and must have a strange personality. In order to avoid making Ou Chuyang angry, Shao Yang didn't say anything even though he was unwilling to do so, and lowered his head and retreated.
At night, the sea breeze slowly blew into the old wooden houses. Under the candlelight, the happy Shao family was having supper.
Shao Yang told Ou Chuyang about his father. In addition to hiding his identity and what happened to Lei Fan during the day, he told the truth every word.
Shao Zhong and Rong Xin are also powerful martial arts practitioners. They know that any such person likes to go into seclusion the most, and the risk of disturbing them will probably bring displeasure to people. So after they came back, they saw Ou Chuyang's door closed and did not visit him.
His father Shao Zhong listened and solemnly instructed: "Yang'er, since this is the case, you must study well with that senior and not let down the previous training."
"I understand, father." Shao Yang nodded and responded.
At this time, Rong Xin picked up a piece of fish and put it in Shao Yang's bowl, and said softly: "Yang'er, eat more. If you practice it, it will be very bitter. Your grandfather can become a powerful martial arts man. It is achieved through hard work step by step. Don't be afraid of suffering, do you know?"
Shao Yang said lightly, then glanced at his father Shao Zhong. Seeing that Shao Zhong was silent, Shao Yang stopped immediately.
Rong Xin knew that what had already hurt Shao Zhong's heart, so she immediately closed her mouth. She put down the bowls and chopsticks, and when she walked to the outer room, she suddenly found Shao Yang's scratched top.
"Yang'er, what's wrong with this clothes?" Rong Xin's voice came from the outer room.
Shao Yang stumbled slightly, then said, "Oh, I went into the woods behind the mountain to chase the spirit beasts, and chased them."
Shao Yang said vaguely, how could he hide it from Shao Zhong's eyes? Just as he was about to get angry, Rong Xin's voice came in again.
"A Zhong, come and take a look for me."
When he said that, he turned back again. Shao Zhong's face was a little bad. When he came outside the house, Rong Xin lowered his voice and said, "Don't blame the child. He has been bullied enough in recent years. Since he doesn't want us to worry, why do you have to say it out loud?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Zhong sighed and shook his head and said, "I know this, but I have told him to endure it again and again. Why can't he bear it? Do you think I want to see him being bullied?"
"Oh~"
Two long sighs spread out with a little debt to his son.
Sitting cross-legged on the other side of the wooden house, Ou Chuyang listened to the three of them from beginning to end. When he heard that Shao Yang had concealed the truth because he was afraid that his parents would worry, he immediately became more fond of him.
"Haha, I'm still a filial son." Ou Chuyang thought with relief.
After a while, Ou Chuyang woke up from his cross-legged knees and walked back and forth a few steps in the room. With a wave of his hand, a jin formation that prevented the sound from spreading was tightly wrapped up the entire wooden house.
