After Liang Tian decided to confront the Hidden Sect Alliance head-on, he did not dare to delay for even a moment. He understood the crucial role his own strength would play in this battle, so he hurried to Qingfeng Temple to seek help from Xuanfeng Zhenren.
Upon entering Qingfeng Temple, the familiar tranquility enveloped him, but Liang Tian had no mind to appreciate the serene atmosphere at that moment. He made his way directly to Xuanfeng Zhenren's residence, his heart filled with a desire to enhance his power.
In the ancient and quiet chamber, Xuanfeng Zhenren sat calmly, seemingly aware of Liang Tian's arrival. As Liang Tian stepped inside, he quickly bowed respectfully and said, “Master, I am your disciple Liang Tian. I have come regarding the matter of the Hidden Sect Alliance and humbly request your guidance.”
Xuanfeng Zhenren slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm yet imbued with profound wisdom. He replied, “I am already aware that the Hidden Sect Alliance comes with ill intentions. Since you have resolved to face them directly, I will do my utmost to assist you.” After speaking, Xuanfeng Zhenren stroked his beard thoughtfully and began imparting advanced cultivation techniques to Liang Tian.
Xuanfeng Zhenren elaborated on the intricacies of the technique, each word seemingly containing boundless depth. “This cultivation method hinges on meticulous control of spiritual energy; you must permeate it into every inch of your meridians to achieve effortless manipulation and unleash its full power.” As he explained, he demonstrated with his own spiritual energy, a gentle glow swirling at his fingertips, illustrating the wondrous transformations of spiritual force.
Liang Tian listened intently, his eyes reflecting determination and focus as he committed every key point to memory. Subsequently, Xuanfeng Zhenren taught him unique combat skills. With a flicker of movement, Xuanfeng Zhenren executed seemingly casual maneuvers that erupted with immense power in an instant; each strike was precise and masterful, showcasing the essence of a true expert. “In combat, one must not only attack without defense nor defend without attack; you must grasp the balance between offense and defense to remain invincible,” Xuanfeng Zhenren explained while demonstrating the principles involved.
Liang Tian followed his instructions diligently, practicing these combat techniques repeatedly. At first, his movements were somewhat clumsy, but with continuous practice, he gradually grasped their essence; his actions became increasingly fluid and natural, and his use of spiritual energy grew more adept.
After several days of dedicated study at Qingfeng Temple, Liang Tian felt a significant enhancement in his strength. However, he understood that relying solely on his own power was far from sufficient; he would need assistance from various allies.
Upon leaving Qingfeng Temple, Liang Tian immediately met up with Xiao Zhan to reach out to friends in the martial world. Xiao Zhan had extensive connections and quickly contacted many heroes.
Their first contact was with Li San, known as The Phantom Thief of a Thousand Faces. Li San was exceptional in lightness skills and adept at stealth and intelligence gathering; his involvement could provide Liang Tian and others with crucial information about their enemies, giving them an advantage in battle. Upon hearing about Liang Tian's predicament, Li San laughed heartily and declared, “Brother Liang’s affairs are my own! Those scoundrels from the Hidden Sect will know what’s coming!”
Next, they sought out Lin Miao, known as the Medical Sage. Lin Miao was skilled in medicine and could provide timely treatment for injuries during battles, ensuring everyone’s safety. With a gentle smile, Lin Miao said, “Young Master Liang acts with righteousness; I am naturally willing to assist and contribute my modest efforts to this endeavor.”
Additionally, they enlisted Zhao Hu, known as The Mechanism King, who excelled at setting traps and mechanisms. Alongside him were numerous Jianghu experts who responded enthusiastically to Liang Tian’s call and expressed their willingness to fight alongside him.
Liang Tian was deeply grateful for the support of everyone around him. He gathered with Xiao Zhan and these friends from the martial world at the Chen Family estate to discuss strategies for dealing with the Hidden Sect Alliance. The atmosphere was both lively and serious as they sat together. Liang Tian looked at everyone, his gaze resolute, and said, "Everyone, we face many difficulties against the Hidden Sect Alliance, but I firmly believe that as long as we stand united, we will surely overcome them!" The group nodded in agreement, their eyes reflecting determination and fighting spirit.
At this point, under the guidance of Xuanfeng Zhenren, Liang Tian's strength had significantly increased, and with the assistance of many friends from the martial world, everything was in place. They were now just waiting for the challenge from the Hidden Sect Alliance; a great battle was about to unfold.
