Chapter 1537: Chapter 1536 Third Stage!
Lin Dong reached the third floor.
The third floor was slightly smaller than the second floor.
Its layout was similar to the second floor, with an ever-burning lamp placed in the center. The walls were adorned with many murals.
The murals on the third floor were similar to those on the second floor.
However, the content was obviously different.
After arriving, Lin Dong saw an elder monk dressed in white, sitting on the ground.
The breath of the elder monk was unfathomable.
He seed to possess so mysterious technique to hide his breath, such that even Lin Dong could not detect the slightest trace of it.
After sensing for a while, he found that, based on his breath, he seed just like a common person!
Such a profound technique for concealing one’s breath made Lin Dong envious.
“You are the first one so young to challenge this level,” said the elder monk, speaking slowly with his back to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong laughingly said, “Senior, I have a question. Are you using so mysterious stealth technique, which is why I can’t detect your true cultivation level, or is it that your cultivation has reached the Ninth Stage Grandmaster’s strength?”
Right now, Lin Dong was at the strength of an eighth-level Grandmaster, and he couldn’t see through his opponent for only two possible reasons.
One was that the other party might be using so profound and unfathomable stealth technique.
The other was that his cultivation was higher than Lin Dong’s.
Hearing Lin Dong’s question, the other party laughingly said, “Of course, I am using so kind of stealth technique.”
“How about it, is my stealth technique impressive? Not to ntion your eighth-level Grandmaster Realm, even so Heavenly Realm Martial Artists might not be able to detect it.”
“Oh? Even so Heavenly Realm Martial Artists might not be able to detect it?” Lin Dong was quite surprised and even more envious.
“Yes, not to ntion those below the Heavenly Realm. As long as I use this stealth technique, no one can detect it! Among the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, there are naturally strong and weak ones. The weaker Heavenly Realm Martialists can’t detect it either… So, are you that interested, wanting to learn it?”
While speaking, the elder monk smiled and inquired towards Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was taken aback and honestly responded, “Yes, would you be willing to teach ?”
“Why wouldn’t I be willing? If you are gifted enough to learn it, it’s your own ability,” the elder monk laughingly said. “However, let
say sothing unpleasant beforehand. My ti is limited, I will only teach you for the ti it takes one incense stick to burn. If you cannot learn it in that ti, then I apologize.”
Lin Dong nodded and casually asked, “I wonder, Senior, how long did it take you to learn this stealth technique?”
“Not long, not long, just thirty years,” said the elder monk with a smile.
“Pfft—” Lin Dong almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “No way, Senior, it took you thirty years to learn it, and now, you’re only giving
half an incense stick’s ti?”
The elder monk rubbed his shiny bald head and said with a smile, “You’re highly gifted, young man, I have high hopes for you.”
Lin Dong rolled his eyes at him, thinking that maybe this old monk didn’t really want to teach him?
“Not willing? Then forget it, I won’t teach,” the elder monk said, spreading his hands.
“No no no, Senior, please start teaching
right away, even if it’s just for the duration of one incense stick,” Lin Dong quickly said.
The elderly monk nodded with a smile and then truly began to impart the stealth technique to him.
“This stealth technique is called ‘Dragon’s Breath.’ It was created by Yangxin Upper People back in the day and then passed on to .”
“? In order to learn many of his cultivation thods, I agreed to guard this tower for four hundred years.”
“Dragon’s Breath is one of them.”
“Listen well, this verbal incantation for ‘Dragon’s Breath,’ I will only pass it on to you once.”
“If you wish to safeguard your life, first calm your spirit’s breath. Once the breath is the mother of the spirit, the spirit becos the child of breath. If spirit and breath are unified, there will be eternal life…”
Lin Dong listened attentively, and after he finished reciting all the incantations for ‘Dragon’s Breath,’ he realized the duration of one incense stick had indeed passed.
After he finished, the elder monk asked with a smile, “So, have you learned it?”
“Ugh—” Lin Dong felt like he was about to vomit blood, truly impressed by the old monk.
“No way, just reciting the ‘Dragon Breath’ mantra took the ti of one incense stick. What about the rest? Aren’t you going to ntion anything else? Like how to condense Qi, or any precautions to take during cultivation?”
The old monk spread his hands, “No, just one mantra. Have you morized it? Actually, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t, because it’s written on the wall. Look, those small characters on that wall are the ‘Dragon Breath’ mantra…”
Lin Dong was even more speechless.
It seed he had been taught a lonely lesson.
However, Lin Dong had an extraordinary mory, capable of never forgetting anything he saw.
Although the old monk had recited the ‘Dragon Breath’ mantra to him only once, he managed to rember it all.
After morizing the mantra, he seriously contemplated it.
He realized it was naturally impossible to master ‘Dragon Breath’ instantly.
He thought it would be better to study it slowly later.
At the mont, he asked the old monk, “Senior, may I know how to pass this Third Stage?”
“It’s simple, defeat
while we are at the sa stage,” the old monk said with a smile.
Lin Dong nodded, then said, “Okay, let’s start.”
Lin Dong found that his cultivation level had been suppressed to that of a Seventh Stage Grandmaster.
This indicated that the old monk’s true strength was also at the Seventh Stage Grandmaster.
With a “swoosh,” the old monk’s figure moved like a wandering dragon towards Lin Dong.
His figure split into eight.
“Grandmaster-level Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm!” Lin Dong spoke, recognizing the national art technique used by the other.
The Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm was once considered on par with Tai Chi among the internal fist techniques, although it eventually fell slightly short. However, if it claid to be the third, no other internal fist would dare to claim they were the second.
Being able to cultivate the Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm to Grandmaster-level strength was indeed a rarity.
At this mont, Lin Dong looked towards the eight figures, seeking to break the opponent’s Grandmaster-level Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm, first needing to discern which of the eight figures was real.
Lin Dong imdiately activated his ability to see through both eyes, a golden glint flashing across his vision, discerning the real figure among the eight.
Then, Lin Dong used Grandmaster-level Tai Chi!
With a “swoosh,” both their figures moved like afterimages, entwining in the confined space of the tower.
If a common person were here, they wouldn’t even be able to clearly see their fighting figures.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
The two appeared at tis in the east side, at tis in the west side, and at tis in the middle, fighting fiercely.
After hundreds of rounds, Lin Dong suddenly exerted strength, pushing him back a few steps.
“Tai Chi truly is the nesis of Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm, kid, to cultivate Tai Chi to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, you are really impressive.”
“I just wonder if you understand the fusion of the two national arts.”
With that, he stepped back.
One hand executed the Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm, and the other the Xingyi Fist.
Both at Grandmaster-level!
“Kid, in internal martial arts, there is a saying, ‘Xingyi plus Bagua, even ghosts and gods fear.'”
“Co experience my fusion of these two Grandmaster-level fist techniques!”
Seeing this, Lin Dong laughingly said:
“Senior, have you ever seen the fusion technique of internal and external martial arts?”
With that, under the surprised gaze of the old monk, he executed Tai Chi with one hand and Baji with the other.
