The Nine Cauldrons Book 6: Traveling the World on Horseback - Chapter 27: Transmutation Unity Law

Chapter 27 Transmutation Unity Law
When Teng Qingshan heard, he furrowed his brows. Kill half of the men? Sexually humiliate the women? To a tribe, this was indeed a terrifying disaster. However, because of the command given by the God of Heaven Mountain, no one dared to kill the children. At least the tribe wouldn't be annihilated.
Therefore, the children of every generations trained their inner strength and practiced their saber art arduously.
“Lord Huhe.” Chabu said apologetically, “We tried to cut off our relationship with you just now because…..if any of us dared to rebel against the Whole Gale Tribe, the Whole Gale Tribe would kill all the grown-ups. By that time, our children would be taken and sold to the other tribes as slaves!”
Hearing this, Teng Qingshan sighed.
The God of Heaven Mountain didn't allow anyone to murder children. However, the God of Heaven Mountain never said that the kids were not allowed to be sold as slaves. After travelling the Great Prairie for a long time, Teng Qingshan also knew of this.
In the prairie, big figures of some great tribes owned slaves. The children of the slaves would also be slaves and the future generations to come would never be able to see the daylight!
Therefore——
Any tribe who dared to disobey the Whole Gale Tribe would be annihilated!
“Lord Huhe, leave quickly.” Chabu hastily said, “Those people who fled know that you are an outsider, therefore, they will do things according to the rules and they will not release their anger to us. However, you are the one who dared to disobey Whole Gale Tribe..Whole Gale Tribe will not let you go easily. Lord Huhe, leave quickly!”
Teng Qingshan scanned the surrounding tribesmen and said, “Brother Chabu, do not worry about me! I heard you guys just said.….” you were saved from this disaster temporarily”. The men of the Whole Gale Tribe will come ask for the silver again, right?”
Immediately, sadness appeared on the faces of Silan, Chabu and the chief.
They were a tribe of the lowest social level in the Great Prairie.
For a tribe with less than a thousand people to earn enough money through proper means was almost impossible. The tribes could only rely on robbing! Robbing other weak tribes.
Teng Qingshan suddenly felt someone was pulling his pants. He looked down and saw little Jiran, whose eyes were filled with tears.
“Uncle Huhe, can you please help us?” Little Jiran stared at Teng Qingshan who stared at Teng Qingshan with the eyes welled up with tears.
Teng Qingshan felt his heart moved as he thought to himself, “I will soon to the faraway Northern Sea Continent with a boat! The Northern Sea Continent is several hundred thousand Lis away from the land of the nine prefectures and it also has no relations with the land of the nine prefectures. The currency used by the Northern Sea Continent might not be gold and silver. Even if the Northern sea Continent was using gold and silver as money, it wouldn't recognize these silver and gold notes!”
Those silver and gold notes could be exchanged in the banks.
However, even if he took them to the Northern Sea Continent, the silver and gold notes would be useless!
“Nevermind. Since it’s useless to me, I will just help them.” Teng Qingshan made his decision.
After casting a glance at the people of the Qilian Tribe who were looking at him respectfully, Teng Qingshan said to Silan, Chabu, and the chief, “You three, come with me.”
With this, Teng Qingshan walked towards the nearest yurt. Silan, Chabu and the chief gave each other a perplexed look and followed Teng Qingshan.
……
When the other people of the Qilian Tribe saw Teng Qingshan, the chief, and the others walking towards a yurt, they were slightly confused and wondering what Teng Qingshan, the chief and the others were about to do.
“That Lord Huhe and the chief, what are they going to do?”
“If that Huhe doesn’t leave now, when the men of the Whole Gale Tribe gets here, he won’t be able to escape.” Chabu’s little brother mocked. Immediately, many tribesmen who were in the surrounding area immediately glared at the teenager and they seemed to be preparing to beat the teenager up.
When the teenager saw this, he was frightened and hastily grinned, “I...I was just saying it for the sake of Lord Huhe. I am just worried about him. Lord Huhe is our savior, how can I not respect him?”
All the other tribesmen knew clearly of what kind of people Chabu’s little brother was.
……
In the yurt.
Chabu, Silan and the old chief were all staring Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan glanced at the three and said, “The Whole Gale Tribe demands two thousand and four hundred silver taels per year right?, how is possible for the Qilian Tribe to pay that amount?”
With this, Teng Qingshan took out a wad of silver notes.
Chabu and the other two looked at the wad of silver notes in shock. They were all people with a high positions in the tribe, all three of them saw silver notes before. The silver notes came from the distanced wealthy land of the nine prefectures.
Of course, it could still be used in the Great Prairie..
“In that wad, there are notes which are worth one hundred silver taels value and one thousand silver taels value…….A total of eleven thousand silver taels.” Teng Qingshan placed them on the table in the yurt and said, “You all can use these to pay the Whole Gale Tribe. This should last for four to five years! Just consider it as a gift for our encounter.”
“Eleven thousand?” Faces of Chabu and the other two were filled with happiness.
“Thank you Lord Huhe.”
The old chief was the first on who was about to kneel now while Chabu and Silan also wanted to kneel down with gratitude. Yet, Teng Qingshan hastily stopped them.
“No need to thank me.” Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
“Lord Huhe, you saved the lives of our tribesmen.” The old chief said excitedly with tears on his eyes.
“With eleven thousand silver taels and the efforts of our tribesmen, it will be enough for us to survive for at least ten years.” Silan said excitedly. It was very difficult to pay two thousand and four hundred taels every year, but if they just need to save up one thousand and four hundred silver taels a year only to survive for ten years was possible if everyone tried their best.
With eleven thousand silver taels, it was enough to support the tribe for ten years.
Ten years was a very long time! If a very powerful warrior appeared in the tribe within these ten years, maybe it could change the fate of the tribe.
“Lord Huhe.” Chabu said excitedly, “The most fortunate thing that Chabu had done in my life was that I received you, Lord Huhe, as my guest.”
“Lord, the men from Whole Gale Tribe definitely won't give up. They never submitted to anyone before. Lord Hube, you must leave quickly.”
Teng Qingshan waved his hand and said, “Don't worry about me. However, I think you should move your tribe to another place since if the men of the Whole Gale Tribe can’t find me, they might interrogate you all. It’s possible that they might kill some of your men in a rage.”
When the old chief heard, he hastily said, “Right, we must move now.”
“Everyone, I will be leaving first.”
Teng Qingshan immediately left and yurt and the Qilian Tribe. New generations of the Qilian Tribe, will tell the legend of how their ancestors encountered the super powerful expert Huhe.
During evening, the sunset was glowing as it tinted the sky in the west red.
The endless range of snowy mountain could be seen standing loftily. At this moment, Teng Qingshan was at the peak of a snowy mountain. The knife-like cold wind was blowing on Teng Qingshan’s face as he gazed at the vast grassland.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see!
Standing on top of the snowy mountain could cause someone’s heart open. Teng Qingshan was very happy since he could train on top of the snowy mountain. The region of the Great Prairie was extremely cold and the Great Prairie had many snowy mountain ranges.
On the ground there was a big unwrapped bundle. In the bundle there was a rectangular wooden box.
“Crack!” The wooden Box was opened.
At the bottom level of the wooden box there was a black axe and two parts of a spear. Teng Qingshan grabbed the Reincarnation Spear and spun it as he linked the spear shaft together.
“Old buddy!” Teng Qingshan stroked the spear shaft and smiled.
“Let's begin!”
While holding the Reincarnation Spear, Teng Qingshan begin practicing the Transmutation Unity Law of the Five Element Spear Arts of Xing Yi Martial Arts! The Five Element Spear Arts was one of the four Great Spear Arts that Teng Qingshan created.
As the foundation of the other spear arts and the only defensive spear art, Teng Qingshan spent the most energy on creating the Transmutation Unity Law.
“The Transmutation Unity Law Spear Art!”
It was created through the Earth Element Horizontal Fist. In the past, when Teng Qingshan performed this spear art, he could even block the the arrows.
“Whew, whew!” The Reincarnation Spear in Teng Qingshan’s hand transformed into a blurred shadow.
Occasionally, the spear would move very slow.
However in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be as fast as lightning.
The four Great Spear Arts created by Teng Qingshan were——《Transmutation Unity Law》,《Pursuing Shadow》,《Toxic Dragon Drill》, and《Vermillion Tiger Roar》. If one must ask which spear art was the most powerful one, the answer was the Transmutation Unity Law!
“I was able to create the first phase of the Earth Element Fist. Out of the five elements of the heavens and earth, I have the highest achievement in the element of Earth. Teng Qingshan knew clearly of his own abilities.
Right now, he was able to smack a horse dead without causing any wounds on the skin while transmitting a force to blast to kill the rider. He couldn't do things like this in the past!
A strike with the palm which didn’t cause any wounds but it was able to blast someone to dead. This was something that Teng Qingshan was able to do in the past.
However, he wouldn't be able to transmit a force and blast someone dead in the past.
He was only able to do that because of his understanding on the element of Earth! Most importantly——As Teng Qingshan’s understanding of the element of Earth got deeper, his Transmutation Unity Law became even stronger!
The Spear Art might appear slow, however, it was actually extremely fast.
To be able to achieve this meant that his understanding on Dao has increased.
Whew! Whew!
The spear was moving like illusion. He was able to earn such an achievement because of the battle which gave him the name of a demon. He killed over sixteen thousand people in that battle.
However, the people he killed during the last hour was equal number of people killed at first six hours!
In that last hour how did he manage to kill sixfold of the people killed in first six hours?
It was because during that last hour, Teng Qingshan obtained a higher understanding of the third move which he created, thus, the speed of spear became faster.
“Now, out of my four Great Spear Arts, the Transmutation Unity Law spear art is the strongest! In the past, when facing a Golden Dan Innate Expert, I couldn’t defend myself, but now, with the creation of the Earth Element Fist, the power of the Transmutation Unity Law increased over tenfold, therefore now I can definitely block the attack of a Golden Dan Innate Expert.”
As for now, Teng Qingshan would have more confidence even if he had to fight a Golden Dan Innate Expert!
“When my Internal Supreme Force reached perfect coordination with my body, the burst of power was even more shocking!” Teng Qingshan knew clearly that his physical strength now was almost eight hundred thousand jin.
Reaching the middle phase of the Supreme Force meant that the power of the Supreme Force would have a burst of power of which could reach at least four hundred thousand jin. With physical strength and the Internal Supreme Force in coordination——at least, Teng Qingshan would possess a strength that surpassed his opponent.
If he could reach the final phase of the Supreme Force, the coordination of the Supreme Force and the body would produce a strength that almost reached one million and six hundred thousand jin which was twofold of the strength of a Golden Dan Innate Expert! This was why Teng Qingshan was so confident, saying that a practitioner of the Internal Martial Arts who cultivated until the final phase of the Grandmaster Realm would definitely suppress a Golden Dan Innate Expert!
“Unfortunately, the Internal Supreme Force is incompatible with the Innate True Origin. The Supreme Force filled Teng Qingshan’s body, but when it encounters the Innate True Origin, the two source of energy will fight.”
Teng Qingshan also felt helpless regarding these two different energies.
……
The snowy mountain was extremely cold, but Teng Qingshan was practicing his spear art with the Reincarnation Spear in hand. As Teng Qingshan practiced each move, he did not instill much energy.
He was trying to comprehend a conception.
“Eh?” Teng Qingshan’s ears suddenly pricked and looked into the distance. Chichi~~the accumulated snow in the surrounding was trembling slightly.
