Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 178 Retreat Breakthrough
Zhongnanshan

"clang!"

As the bell rang, figures in Tianwuzong passed by one after another, some leaped over the roof, some flew over the eaves and walls, and quickly rushed towards the central square in different directions.

Soon the square was already full of disciples wearing uniform costumes. As the first ray of sunlight appeared in the morning, each one of them consciously took out their futons and sat cross-legged, facing the rising sun, exhaling purple air.

Hundreds of disciples breathed together, and purple air rose and enveloped the entire central square for a while, looking from a distance as if a purple cloud covered the square.

Li Ming looked at Ziyun on the square with his hands behind his back on the Star Observation Building, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
"time flies."

Li Ming looked at Ziyun on the square with a memory on his face.

Thirty years have passed since the founding of the Tianwu Sect. In the past 30 years, apart from occasionally teaching disciples in the Tianwu Sect, Li Ming has traveled the world with many beautiful wives. He has also realized the dream of an empress, painting all over the world. They all walked around, and the mountain and river catalog also recorded the entire planet.

During this period, the ministers gave birth to a pair of twins named Li Feng and Li Linglong for him, but the medicine given by the uncle Li Yu was effective, and Chi Meng also successfully gave birth to a boy Li Yuan and a daughter Li Meng.

Li Mingwu, the eldest son of the emperor, has also ascended the throne, and he has several sons. It can be said that the house is full of children and grandchildren.The prosperous Tang Dynasty also became more prosperous in the past, and its territory covered the entire Eurasian continent.

With the development of time, Tianwuzong has already had more than 600 disciples, and the weakest one is the strength of Xiao Tianwei. As the three major disciples, Zhao Kuangyin, Duan Siping, and Li Xingyun's son Li Xiaoyao are all innate realm The presence.

The empress also successfully broke through to the realm of heaven and man, formally consolidating the position of the eldest sister, but the ministers were a little unconvinced. Although she was already in the late innate realm, there was no choice but to continue to be the second child because of the gap between innate and heaven and man.

Chi Meng is not interested in this, eats and drinks every day, and doesn't practice much, but his realm has also appeared in the mid-innate state.It's also thanks to Li Ming and her double cultivation, otherwise, with her cultivation method of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, it would be difficult for her to reach the innate level now.

Just as he was recalling, a figure quietly came behind Li Ming, dressed as a maid, with a tall figure, and a pair of long legs that were straight and slender.

Without turning his head, Li Ming said:
"Qiwu, go and call Xiaoyao and the others."

Hearing this, Yeluzhiwu nodded slightly, and then his figure flashed.

But after a while, the three of Li Xiaoyao came to Wangxing Tower, looking at Li Ming who was looking up to the sky with his hands behind his back, the three saluted respectfully.

Li Ming turned his head to look at the three of them, but he was very satisfied with these three disciples.
"As a teacher, I will be in retreat in the near future. If you have any questions about the sect, you can go to your teacher's wife and the others."

Wen Yansan couldn't help but looked at each other, and nodded solemnly, Li Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and asked slightly hesitantly: "Master, are you going to make a breakthrough?"

We must know that Li Ming rarely retreats, and it is obviously not an ordinary meditation to be so solemn now.

Li Ming nodded with a smile, and the three of them immediately showed joy when they saw this. Although they were far away from that realm, it didn't stop them yearning for it. They couldn't help saying in unison: "Congratulations, master, for making further progress!"

"Okay, this retreat will take a long time, wait and take care of the sect."

Li Ming waved his hands, and Li Xiaoyao and the others nodded solemnly upon hearing the words, and said, "Master, don't worry, we will definitely protect Tianwuzong well!"

"Well, that's good, let's go down first."

Li Ming nodded in satisfaction, Li Xiaoyao and the others bowed respectfully and retreated.

Li Ming and Yelu Zhiwu were the only ones left in Wangxing Tower. Li Ming looked at Yelu Zhiwu, who still looked like a girl back then, glanced at the maid's clothes on the other side, and said helplessly:
"Qi Wu, why are you wearing this dress all of a sudden?"

Yelu Zhiwu couldn't help chuckling when he heard the words, looked at Li Ming with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Isn't this nostalgic?"

"It's still like this even if the child is a mother, you are not afraid of teaching Xiao Wu badly."

Li Ming shook his head helplessly, but Yelu Zhiwu looked disapproving when he heard that the child was so old that she still needed her to teach him.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled helplessly, put his arms around the waist of the beautiful woman, and admired the sunrise together, just like that day 20 years ago.

As the sun was getting hotter, the two left Wangxing Tower and headed towards Wudao Cave.

With the fall of the stone gate of Enlightenment Cave, Li Ming officially started his retreat career.

Following Li Ming's retreat, the girls would come to check outside the cave every day, and left after seeing that the stone gate was still closed.

Day after day, it seems like an infinite cycle, the only difference is that the breath in the cave is getting stronger and stronger, even the sky began to appear strange phenomena, sometimes the stars are shining brightly, sometimes the purple air rises and turns into auspicious clouds, sometimes the two The moon is shining brightly, and sometimes the golden crow rises in the sky at night.

This kind of phenomenon has lasted for nine years. Fortunately, Wudao Cave is located in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, so there are few people around and it will not cause an uproar. Occasionally there are sporadic rumors but they have not attracted attention.

The people of Tianwuzong have long been accustomed to this, knowing that it is the place where the suzerain retreated. In addition to worshiping more and more, they also worked harder to practice. For a while, the martial arts atmosphere of Tianwuzong became more and more intense.

However, on this day, the rising purple air in the sky slowly turned into dense clouds, and thunder and lightning roared in the sea of ​​clouds, as if they were about to strike down at any time.

The originally sunny sky was instantly covered by dark clouds in Tianwuzong. The busy disciples couldn't help but stop their work and looked up at the sky. A brilliant heavenly power emanated from the dark clouds. A feeling of timidity spread in my heart.

"What's going on, is it going to rain?"

"God is angry?"

"........."

There were bursts of discussions among the disciples, and the first thing that the Empress and her daughters thought of was Li Ming who was in the Enlightenment Cave. As soon as his figure moved, several people rushed towards the Enlightenment Cave in unison.

The closer they got to the Enlightenment Cave, the more they felt the oppression in the air was stronger, but they still rushed towards the Enlightenment Cave regardless, feeling nervous for fear that something might happen to Li Ming.

At this time, in the Enlightenment Cave, a figure sat cross-legged on the futon, with colorful lights constantly shining on his body, and his aura shot up into the sky, stirring up the dark clouds in the sky. Getting more irritable.

The people who were rushing towards Wudao Cave couldn't help but pause when they saw this, then gritted their teeth and continued to plunder Wudao Cave with a stronger sense of oppression, but as they got deeper and deeper, their footsteps gradually slowed down. When the few people were about to enter by force, a voice that they had been thinking about for a long time suddenly came, but it made the girls stop involuntarily.
