From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

"My friend, Lingxi Sect always welcomes you."

"goodbye"

Two overlapping voices rang in Jiang Zheng's ears. They were Zhou Shan and Dao Buyu.

Dao Buyu’s farewell was very simple, just two words: “Goodbye”.

Jiang Zheng was already standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the sky, his expression unmoved by the message.

Just like that, when the starry sky covered the earth, Jiang Zheng took action.

He sat cross-legged on the ground.

The mysterious woman appeared in his mind, and he began to visualize the method to reach the sky, and his consciousness was once again immersed in the supreme martial arts realm.

With each breath, the pores open and the qi and blood flow.

When Jiang Zheng was completely immersed in enlightenment, the stars in the sky seemed to be attracted and swam towards Jiang Zheng along with the moonlight.

This is the method of tempering the body with the essence of heaven and earth in [Tongtian].

The essence of the method to reach the sky is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and achieve oneself, and the spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon are all the essence of heaven and earth. As long as it is the essence, Jiang Zheng can absorb it into himself and strengthen himself.

Under the night sky, wisps of golden light wandered, like pieces of dazzling golden threads, following the soft moonlight, circling towards Jiang Zheng.

The golden light from the mountain top spread all over the ground, and under the nourishment of the stars and the moon, the weeds on the ground grew wildly.

In a short while, Jiang Zheng was submerged, but he didn't notice it at all.

Jiang Zheng only felt a constant stream of warm current flowing into his body through his pores, flowing through his limbs and bones, constantly strengthening his qi and blood.

And with the help of the Dharma, the blood rhythm of martial arts is born in the qi and blood.

If there is an extremely powerful being here, he would definitely be shocked that a person who has not yet attained the Tao can actually rely on one method to generate the rhythm of the Tao and grasp a trace of the power of the Tao.

Kong Qing's figure quietly emerged, staring at Jiang Zheng in a daze, his expression constantly changing, heartache, guilt, regret... In the end, his expression was extremely complicated, and he sighed after a long time.

"Alas... Was I wrong? Was I wrong?" He turned around and looked towards the sky, shaking his head slowly.

"So many years have passed...will it finally be impossible to hide it? But you shouldn't have done that! Qianqian...you're so stupid."

Kong Qing's figure disappeared again.

The Taoist charm of Jiang Zheng slowly spread out, and the essence of the sun and the moon gathered here, turning this place into a pool of golden spring.

All the creatures in the mountains sensed it, their eyes were extremely hot, and they rushed to the top of the mountain following the breath of essence.

The grass moved slightly.

Some creatures cautiously broke into the bushes. A little white rabbit poked its head out and timidly came to Jiang Zheng.

Feeling the aura from him, although it was oppressive, there was no sense of danger.

The rabbit lay carefully in front of him, squinting its eyes, allowing the essence in the golden spring to nourish it.

The movement in the grass became more frequent, and many creatures rushed in, making the place crowded.

All kinds of creatures get along surprisingly well together, even creatures that feed on each other can live together peacefully.

A sharp cry.

A golden figure was approaching at a high speed, it was a huge bird of prey!

Most of its feathers are golden, but mixed with a lot of brown, indicating that its bloodline is impure, and its wingspan is more than four meters!

There was a human desire in his eyes. He locked onto the golden spring, dived into it, and stirred up a strong wind.

Feeling the fierce aura of the bird of prey, the other creatures all retreated, and the golden eagle, alone and dominant, occupied the best position and enjoyed the nourishment of the essence.

Although Jiang Zheng noticed that there were guests around him, he did not care. These creatures would not pose a threat to him.

The creatures that really posed a threat to him were the monsters that had already developed intelligence. They sensed the aura here and didn't dare to get close at all.

Only these creatures without intelligence would follow their original desires and set foot in the Golden Pond.

The moonlight is like a clear spring, with a large amount of golden light swimming in it like fish. Many living beings soak in it and fall asleep peacefully.

The stars retreated and the bright moon set.

The essence of the sun and the moon around Jiang Zheng gradually dissipated, and the creatures around him had already immersed themselves in dreams. Only the golden bird of prey was still blinking, standing behind him, motionless.

At this moment, after a night of baptism by the essence of heaven and earth, the brown feathers on its body actually turned into gold.

Looking closely, his entire body was golden, as if it was made of gold. He was extremely handsome, and even the wisdom in his eyes had increased a lot, as if he had become intelligent overnight.

Just as the golden spring was dissipating, a golden arc appeared on the horizon, and the next moment, the sun rose from the horizon.

The thousands of feet of red light were like countless sharp swords, piercing through the colorful clouds and hitting Jiang Zheng head-on.

Including the living creatures around him, all were dyed with a circle of bright halo. As if sensing something, Jiang Zheng's pores began to tremble again.

The essence of the sun gathered quickly, and in just a few dozen breaths, the essence gathered again into an illusory colorful spring. The temperature rose rapidly, but it would not burn any living creature.

Many creatures moved slightly and began to enjoy it again. A gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the golden bird of prey. It spread its wings and embraced the baptism of essence. The only remaining stray hairs on its body completely transformed into gold.

Suddenly, its whole body shook, and its aura rose from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level, and the wisdom in its eyes increased.

It was very excited about the transformation of its bloodline. It spread its wings and danced happily around Jiang Zheng, stirring up a strong wind that made the surrounding creatures retreat in fear.

A pair of eagle eyes looked at Jiang Zheng, who was like a statue, and a human gratitude emerged.

As the essence of the sun and the moon was continuously absorbed into his body, Jiang Zheng's blood and qi slowly grew stronger, and a hint of martial arts rhythm was brewing in his blood and qi.

As time passed, Jiang Zheng still sat still, concentrating on strengthening himself.

“Ouch!”

Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard from the foot of the mountain, followed by a series of wolf howls approaching rapidly.

This was because the wolves in the distance sensed the rich essence, and the ground was vibrating slightly.

The wolf's howl was getting closer and closer. The golden eagle seemed to notice it and its eyes suddenly locked onto one direction.

A huge wolf head poked out from the horizon of the mountain top, with desire in its eyes. The moment it looked at Jiang Zheng, it completely turned into a wild beast dominated by desire.

It leaped up and landed on the top of the mountain, its eyes fixed on Jiang Zheng, locking onto its prey.

“Ouch!”

It let out a long howl, and its entire body emanated the aura of a fifth-level Qi-refining monster.

Wolf heads appeared behind him, marching forward in unison. The appearance of the hunter immediately caused the peaceful creatures around Jiang Zheng to riot.

Creatures that were not born good at killing immediately fled in the opposite direction, while those creatures that were born to be hunters stood up in unison.

The two sides immediately confronted each other with swords drawn. The wolf pack was obviously more in number, and there was a wolf king monster at the fifth level of Qi training in charge. The strongest monster standing next to Jiang Zheng was just a blue leopard at the third level of Qi training.

Jiang Zheng's brows twitched slightly, noticing an uninvited guest coming behind him. He remained unmoved and continued to sit firmly on the top of the mountain, absorbing the essence of the early sun.

The golden eagle creature stared at the wolf king with indifference in its eyes. It paced behind Jiang Zheng, standing proudly, as if it didn't care about anything.

Although his own realm is lower than that of the Wolf King, it seems that he wants to protect Jiang Zheng.

The wolf king growled and led the entire wolf pack to press forward. A huge demon wolf roared and rushed out suddenly.

The blue leopard moved, blue lines on its body glowing, and its feet were as swift as the wind. It turned into an afterimage and pounced on the giant wolf to the ground, opening its bloody mouth and biting off the wolf's neck.

Blood splattered and the giant wolf died in the blink of an eye.

“Roar, roar, roar—!”

The wolf king immediately became angry, and he moved his huge body and opened his bloody mouth to pounce on the blue leopard.

The two of them bit each other, and both sides rioted and fought each other.

The golden eagle still stood proudly behind Jiang Zheng, with its wings folded like a golden sculpture, watching the fight between the two sides coldly.

Suddenly, a giant wolf broke through the defense line and pounced on Jiang Zheng from the side. It opened its sharp claws in mid-air, and the next moment it wanted to tear Jiang Zheng into pieces.

Jiang Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he became a little impatient, and when he was about to open his eyes.

The golden statue behind him moved, and its eagle eyes were fixed on the giant wolf in mid-air, revealing a fierce look!

The next moment, it spread one wing and swung it fiercely at the giant wolf. The wing was flowing with golden light, which turned into golden swords.

They rushed towards the giant wolf in an overwhelming manner, and as it howled in fear, they strangled it into pieces, spreading a large amount of blood mist.

The blood mist slowly drifted down, and when it was about to land on Jiang Zheng, the golden eagle spread its wings again to cover his head, like a golden umbrella, blocking the falling blood mist.

Drops of blood mist fell on the wings, spreading a patch of blood-red stars on the sacred gold, which was very beautiful.

The wolf king pressed the blue leopard under him and spit out a ball of wind blades from his mouth. The blue leopard howled as its entire head was blown into pieces.

Sensing the death of the blue leopard, the golden statue slowly turned its head, its sharp eagle eyes like a steel knife.

When the wolf king met the golden eagle's eyes, his hair stood on end, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. However, he was not intelligent enough and felt that the other party's aura was not as strong as his own. Desire eventually overcame fear.
