Chapter 48 Mount Dadong, a Sacred Ground for Cultivation
Once you reach the Grandmaster realm, the world you see is completely different from what you saw before.
"This is what a Grandmaster is like... Hahaha!"
After briefly sensing the power within his body, Li Yuan burst into laughter, the sound waves rolling and sweeping across an area of dozens of miles.
After venting his emotions for a while, he calmed down again.
After entering the Grandmaster realm, his state of mind also improved significantly. His previous worries about advancing vanished, and he exuded a sense of ease from the inside out.
Li Yuan understood that from this moment on, he was the fifth Grandmaster of humanity in the world.
Although he hadn't yet sparred with the others, he believed that from this day forward, he would truly be... the best in the world!
Before him, the original four grandmasters each had their own strengths.
Among them, Ye Liuyun, who comprehended the key on his own and advanced to the Grandmaster realm, was the most agile and nimble, and his Liuyun Sanshou (Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand) technique was extremely precise.
The Northern Qi Heavenly Dao Bitter Lotus possesses the strongest defense and the fastest true energy recovery.
The four swords of Dongyi City are the most murderous and have the strongest attack power.
As for Emperor Qing in the Southern Qing Imperial Palace, his true energy is the most domineering and has the highest explosive power.
Compared to them, Li Yuan, the newly promoted Grandmaster, is most notable for having the largest amount of true qi and the most intense nature of it.
Although he hadn't actually fought them yet, Li Yuan was confident that he wouldn't lose to anyone!
Looking out at the endless snowfield and the snowflakes swirling in the wind, he smiled faintly and vanished in a flash.
……
Dongshan, a place name that sounds quite ordinary.
There are two places in the world that are called "Dongshan".
One place, in the western suburbs of the capital of Qing Kingdom.
Although it was just a small hill, it was somewhat famous because Qingmiao had a temple there and some folk deities were worshipped there.
The other place is Da Dongshan, located on the coast of the East China Sea, which enjoys a great reputation throughout the world!
Da Dong Shan is famous primarily because of its ingenious structure and perfect scenery.
Secondly, this mountain produces some of the world's most exquisite jade.
One year before, on the occasion of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi's birthday, someone presented her with fine jade from Mount Dadong, which was greatly appreciated by the Empress Dowager.
However, after the Qing Kingdom conquered this area during its northern expedition, it built another Qing Temple on Mount Dadong and strictly prohibited the mining of jade.
Therefore, the jade from Dongshan is now only available in stock on the market, and its price is getting higher and higher.
The secret chamber that Li Yuan used for cultivation in the Prince Jing's mansion was made of jade from Dongshan Mountain.
The third reason why Da Dongshan became famous was the imperial decree issued by the Emperor of Qing.
Today, the incense at Keimyo Temple on Mount Daito has long surpassed that of Keimyo Temple in Kyoto.
One reason for this is that the Keimyo Temple in Kyoto has a somewhat solemn atmosphere, and ordinary people are not very willing to go there, while the Keimyo Temple in Daitoyama does not have this problem.
On the other hand, legend has it that the Qing Temple on Da Dong Mountain is truly miraculous. Many people who cannot afford medical treatment will receive the temple's blessing after praying on the mountain, and even if they are seriously ill, they will recover without treatment.
Of the two mountains in the east, the one by the sea is certainly larger, more famous, and more magical.
Therefore, people generally call this mountain Daitoyama, while the mountain near Kyoto is called Kotoyama.
On this day, a young man dressed simply but with an extraordinary air came to the foot of Mount Dadong, looked up and exclaimed in admiration.
This person was none other than Li Yuan, who had returned to the Kingdom of Qing from the snowy plains of the far north.
Looking at the renowned and significant Mount Dadong before him, he couldn't help but marvel at it.
Dadong Mountain is a rocky mountain, majestic and magnificent, its height unknown.
On the side facing away from the sea, there is plenty of fertile soil, and lush forests thrive on the mountains, creating a verdant landscape.
The side facing the sea, however, was a smooth, seamless stone wall!
There wasn't a single fine line on the stone wall; it was as smooth as jade, as if a god had once cleaved the mountain in two with a single sword!
The mountain doesn't cover a large horizontal area; it's simply high and steep, and when viewed from the sea, it looks like an enormous stone pillar.
Overall, Da Dong Shan is green on one side and white on the other. Although the colors are completely different, they form a very harmonious feeling, just like a piece of jade that fades from green. For those who appreciate it, it is extremely beautiful.
Faced with such a spectacular sight, ordinary people might wonder how it was formed, but ultimately they cannot find the answer and can only marvel at the wonders of nature.
But for Li Yuan, who had read the "historical stories" in the temple, this question was no secret at all.
The reason for this peculiar scene is that... this is the origin of the war that broke out hundreds of thousands of years ago!
Humans used nuclear weapons, which were used to kill each other, and a violent explosion occurred here.
What was originally a mountain range has been transformed into a solitary peak that now hangs halfway over the sea!
The rocks on the cross-section were melted by the incredibly high temperature into a clear, bluish-green jade wall, which is what it looks like now!
Therefore, looking at the whole world, Mount Tai is the place where radiation is most intense.
Of course, in today's terms, this is the place where "the primordial energy of heaven and earth is most abundant".
Therefore, for those who can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, this is a true sacred place for cultivation!
And without a doubt, Li Yuan is that kind of person!
Therefore, he came here directly after leaving the far north.
Li Yuan did not take the mountain path, but instead gathered his energy and lightened his body, leaping several times in succession to reach the summit of Dongshan.
Then, I found a comfortable spot and sat down cross-legged.
During the day, he basked in the blazing sunlight, felt the warm sea breeze, and absorbed the rich spiritual energy of the land.
At night, he was bathed in the moonlight and starlight scattered across the night sky, felt the cool sea breeze, and absorbed the seemingly endless energy of heaven and earth.
One day...
Two days...
Three days...
As time went by, the true energy within his body continued to increase.
He has only recently broken through to the Grandmaster realm, and his strength is still in a phase of rapid improvement.
In addition, the unique cultivation environment of Mount Dadong has enabled his true combat strength to improve rapidly, leaping forward by leaps and bounds!
On that very day, a song suddenly came from below the cliff.
Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw a small boat drifting leisurely across the vast sea.
Even though the sea was turbulent and surging, the small boat still navigated through it with ease.
A man was sitting on the boat, wearing a straw hat, and the singing was coming from his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled slightly and muttered, "They really came..."
Immediately, he stood up and jumped off the mountaintop!
