  Xiao Sheng was defeated by Yan Zhao Ge and retreated. The crowd of Guang Cheng Shan disciples beside him were now all looking at Yan Zhao Ge with admiration.

  In a short period of time, he defeated Xuan Yonglong and then lost to Xiao Sheng. Yan Zhao Ge was destined to be the most popular among young martial artists for a while.

  If it was said that the previous victory over Huang Yu Long was just a fight between martial artists of the same realm, then this time the opponent he faced was Xiao Sheng, whose cultivation realm was higher than Yan Zhao Ge by more than one level.

  Even because of the trial method, Xiao Sheng's aura was suppressed to a level close to that of Yan Zhao Ge.

  But the later stage of external elixir is still the later stage of external elixir, and in terms of visual experience and understanding of martial arts, it is destined to be much deeper and richer than the early stage of external elixir.

  Some external alchemy masters have just begun to touch upon the subtleties of change, while others who are more advanced in their practice have long since grasped them.

  These gaps are more obvious in actual combat.

  With the same amount of effort, the external Gong master's power is only one tenth at the beginning, but the external Gong master's power may be five tenths, six tenths, or even eight tenths, nine tenths.

  But just now's trial, the result was that the Yan Zhao song won by a narrow margin, forcing Xiao Sheng to destroy his promise and only get an inglorious draw.

  If it were a holy land of the mountain gate of Guang Cheng Shan, Yan Zhao Ge, and a relatively ordinary outer sect master who practiced martial arts later on, had this result, people might still find it somewhat acceptable.

  But if the opponent is Xiao Sheng of Taiyi Holy Sect, then it's a completely different story.

  After all, Xiao Sheng himself was a genius who had defeated an opponent in the middle of the External Refining stage at the beginning of the Congenital Realm.

  A wooden puppet, fragile and weak compared to a warrior's aura, under his manipulation, seemed like a real person, and even a strong martial artist.

  It was the Great Sun Sage's wooden puppet, under Xiao Sheng's control, that struck with a single blow. Except for Si Kong Qing, all of the other Guang Cheng Mountain disciples who were cultivating their bodies and refining their skills couldn't even withstand it.

  But such a genius among his peers also suffered a crushing defeat in front of Yan Zhao Ge, just like Chongyuan Long.

  How can this not make people feel dizzy?

  Si Kongqing gazed at the wooden puppet fragments on the ground, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she had a sudden realization.

  "This girl is indeed dedicated to martial arts." Yan Zhao Ge glanced at her and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, pointing out: "You've been practicing for some time now, and you're only half a step away from achieving the realm of a grandmaster."

  "Transform internal energy into gaseous energy, the method is to reverse the flow of internal energy, cultivate it, and practice until the energy becomes gaseous. Your seniors in the school have already instructed you on this."

  "However, when you reverse the flow of internal energy, try a rhythm like false-true-false-false-false-false-true."

  Sī Kōng Qíng heard this and her eyes suddenly lit up slightly, the other junior fellow disciples also hastily perked up their ears.

  At this moment, the prestige of Yan Zhao's song in their hearts is even greater than that of some elders in the mountain gate.

  Everyone cherished the opportunity to listen to Yan Zhao's song and point out the key to breaking through to the Master.

  From a body-refining martial artist to an advanced master, it is a chasm for the vast number of practitioners in the Eight Extremes Grand World.

  The difficulty is much greater than advancing from mid-term Qigong to late-term Qigong, or from late-term Qigong to entering the realm of subtlety.

  It's even more difficult for a mid-term Internal Elixir master to advance to a late-term Internal Elixir master, and for a late-term Internal Elixir master to advance to an early-stage External Elixir master.

  On the other hand, achieving a high level of mastery can also bring about tremendous improvements in one's abilities.

  The root lies in wanting to become a master, one must practice internal energy to form an aura, transforming internal energy into aura energy.

  The aura is far more condensed than the inner energy. If we say that the inner energy is a gas, then the aura is a liquid. The collision between the two can shatter a large amount of true energy with just a small amount of aura.

  A cultivator of the Body Refining Realm engaging in a battle with a Sect Master would find it extremely difficult to counterattack, as even the most exquisite techniques are rendered useless against absolute power. In most cases, the Sect Master can easily overpower their opponent with a single move.

  In many cases, quantity cannot make up for the gap.

  Yanzhao song casually pointed out a few sentences, and Siku Qing suddenly felt a sense of sudden openness.

  Her gaze at Yan Zhao Ge had a few more shades of respect, which had never appeared before, even when Yan Zhao Ge took action to punish Ma Yue.

  Yanzhao Song said to the others, "Everyone's situation is different. The method that suits Si Kong's sister may not suit you. You are still far from the realm of the ancestors, there is no need to be anxious, take steady steps on your own path for now."

  Everyone was delighted and surrendered, facing Yan Zhao Ge and bowed: "Thank you for pointing out, Brother Yan. We will definitely practice with our hearts."

  Si Kongqing looked at Yan Zhao Ge and also bowed, unlike the previous polite courtesy, but rather quite sincere: "Thank you, Master Yan, for your guidance."

  She paused for a moment, looked at others and said: "Yan Shixiong's guidance has given me a lot to gain. I plan to retreat immediately and cannot go with you to Lüliang Mountains."

  Everyone also understood, it's just that at this moment they all felt a bit worried, and subconsciously looked towards the Song of Yan Zhao.

  Yanzhao Song said faintly: "This time I brought you all, it doesn't matter, but do you all expect me to bring you for a lifetime?"

  "Moreover, where I'm going is actually even more dangerous for you."

  Many of the disciples of Guangshan were somewhat disheartened. They too had been carefully taught by their sect and were not lacking in independence.

  These days, the light of Yanzhao song is really too dazzling, and everyone is dizzy. Subconsciously, they look up to this senior brother.

  Everyone sternly said: "It was us who had a lazy heart, thanks to Brother Yan for pointing it out, we are really ashamed."

  Yanzhao smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "Never mind, since it's like this, we'll part ways here."

  Having said that, he turned around and left the city, walking towards the outside of the city.

  A crowd of Guang Cheng Shan disciples also bid farewell to Si Kong Qing and left the city for Lu Liao Mountain Range.

  On the road, the figures of Yan Zhao Ge and Ah Hu had long since disappeared from view.

  The Luoliao Mountains are vast and located on one side of the Zhenlong Abyss, although many precious resources are produced here, the environment is also quite treacherous. With everyone's current cultivation level, it's not easy to get here.

  "We should really reflect on ourselves, Yan Shixiong brought us along, it's like bringing a bunch of burdens, and we're still so proud." The girl hugged the small Lingshu cat, her expression somewhat gloomy.

  The blue-robed man beside her said, "Now we are indeed far inferior to Master Yan, but we shouldn't be discouraged by this. Instead, we should focus on practicing even harder."

  Another person whispered: "Are you also like Ye Jing, thinking that one day you can compete with Yan Shixiong?"

  Lan Wenyuan said calmly: "At least I have to try my best to keep up with Yan Shixiong, so as not to become a burden?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement: "Just as Brother Yan said, we should stand firm in the present and look to the future."

  Among the mountains, we arrived at our destination and everyone dispersed to take action.

  Lan Wenyuan walked alone for a while, suddenly his eyes widened and his gaze was dull: "Just now I mentioned Ye Jingye Shidi, this..."

  Not far in front of him, a figure stood there.
