Chapter 76: Dual Cultivation of Physical and Magical Skills
"Uncle Zhang, I want to... repair them all!"
Li Xiaoan stretched out his white fist with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
But the tone was firm.
Zhang Tiansheng was slightly stunned:
"You are greedy!"
He reached out and tapped Li Xiaoan on the head twice.
Li Xiaoan smiled shyly, but his eyes were still firm in his thoughts.
Since there are two ways to become a saint through the physical body and to reach the heavens through the mind, why can't we practice both?
Lord Li Yuan once said: All the roads in the world were created step by step by our predecessors.
The road is never fixed, and there are never rigid rules and regulations. It all depends on whether you have innovative thinking and ability.
Zhang Tiansheng hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, we might as well give it a try."
“Look at those roads, and see how far they can go.”
In the heart of the great master Tiandi, there are also some methods of cultivation that have been deduced for a long time...
Li Xiaoan doesn't know yet that he has become a guinea pig for the Heavenly Emperor's training.
Zhang Tiansheng seemed to be tired of standing, and suddenly took a few steps and sat cross-legged on the bluestone where he usually rested.
Li Xiaoan is also a thoughtful person.
He walked gently to Zhang Tiansheng's side, bent one knee, and placed his hands on his knee, acting like a disciple listening.
Zhang Tiansheng stared into the void, as if he was looking at all three thousand avenues.
"The path to sainthood is to cultivate the treasures of the human body. The body is the root, the bones are the foundation, the flesh and blood are the fuel..."
Zhang Tiansheng's indifferent voice sounded, seeming real and illusory, ethereal and otherworldly.
In the darkness, infinite power of the Great Dao gathered together, the Heavenly Dao listened, and the three realms were silent.
This indifferent voice seems to be the only truth of all things and the beginning of the profound Taoist rhyme.
As Zhang Tiansheng explained the principles of cultivation, the void was filled with the sound of Sanskrit, as if countless great ways were resounding and responding.
Li Xiaoan listened carefully and couldn't help but be immersed in the endless sea of Tao rhyme.
Anshan was shaking, as if suffering from some unbearable Taoist oppression.
But under this oppression, Anshan's overall spirituality is rapidly improving.
On the top of Anshan Mountain, in the cocoon of pale golden light, Li Yuan's tightly closed eyelids trembled a few times.
It seemed as if I could see the endless ocean of the road.
As Zhang Tiansheng preached, the entire three realms fell silent.
Time and space seemed to freeze, rivers and seas stagnated, and countless creatures stood still.
Even the whistling wind extinguished all sounds.
Li Xiaoan was fascinated by what he heard, as if he was standing beside the avenue, with the true meaning of the avenue spread out before his eyes.
Zhang Tiansheng's voice seemed particularly overbearing. If the avenue was covering it up, the voice would seem to turn into a super big fight, dispersing all the avenues and leaving Li Xiaoan to comprehend.
With such an opportunity, Li Xiaoan's understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth improved rapidly.
Zhang Tiansheng intended to let Li Xiaoan observe the true meaning of all great principles.
He wanted to cultivate a being who could become a saint in the flesh by cultivating his mind to understand the heavenly way.
What was the scene like then?
If it doesn't work, the worst that can happen is to rewrite it.
The Lord Emperor of Heaven thinks very thoroughly.
If your idea fails...
No, no, no, no, you will only succeed on your own.
Li Xiaoan slowly woke up from his understanding of the Great Dao. He blinked, thinking that a long time had passed.
However, when he looked up at the sky, the angle of the sun seemed not to have changed at all.
Li Xiaoan turned his head and looked at Zhang Tiansheng, but saw a mysterious and indifferent smile on the other person's lips.
"If you can ever reach this level, you will be able to protect yourself in the Three Realms..."
Zhang Tiansheng's tone was very calm.
Li Xiaoan seemed to be thinking: "So this is the only way to barely protect yourself."
"Lord Li Yuan often said that with so many gods and monsters coexisting in the Three Realms, there must be hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He told me not to think that I can look down on others just because I am hanging around with gods."
"Sure enough, the Three Realms are unfathomable and extremely dangerous..."
The child sighed, as if he had seen the scene where there were hermits hiding in every corner of the three realms.
Zhang Tiansheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said nothing.
In the Three Realms, no one can defeat you, so how can this not be considered a form of self-protection?
Zhang Tiansheng taught Li Xiaoan Taoism for a while.
Then, they began to inhumanely ravage the child's body.
Zhang Tiansheng took Li Xiaoan to a small pond.
He pointed his finger and the water in the pool began to boil.
"I'll give you half a minute to learn how to absorb spiritual energy into your body."
"In half a minute, regardless of whether you have learned the art of absorbing air or not, I will throw you into this boiling pool."
Zhang Tiansheng's words were indifferent, as if they contained no emotion at all.
Li Xiaoan swallowed his saliva and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing the spiritual energy in the air.
However, two minutes later, Li Xiaoan was somewhat discouraged:
"Uncle Zhang, won't you teach me some cultivation techniques?"
Zhang Tiansheng stood with his hands behind his back:
"I will not teach you any mundane skills."
"Mind method, mind method, if you can comprehend the Tao method on your own, it will surpass all the mundane skills in the world."
Li Xiaoan raised his delicate eyebrows slightly.
In short, if you don’t have any skills or experience, you have to find ways to understand everything on your own!
He recalled the feeling of his mind wandering freely in the avenue just now, and began to calm his mind and try to absorb spiritual energy.
He didn’t know if it was because the cheat Zhang Tiansheng gave him was a bit powerful, but it only took Li Xiaoan three minutes to sense the existence of spiritual energy from the invisible vibrations of his body.
He used his flesh, blood, and bones to call upon spiritual energy and successfully absorbed it into his body.
Zhang Tiansheng stood aside, watching quietly, his eyes brightening involuntarily.
The body absorbs the spirit!
Departed from the path of absorbing spiritual energy through mental method!
Sure enough, it was fun!
As expected, Li Xiaoan was thrown into the boiling pool.
He instantly screamed in pain and thrashed around with his hands and feet.
"Calm your mind and gather your energy."
Zhang Tiansheng just whispered four words and ignored him.
It seemed as if he wouldn't care even if Li Xiaoan was scalded in boiling water.
Li Xiaoan endured the severe pain all over his body, his whole body turned red, like a shrimp that was about to be cooked.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to scream.
Li Xiaoan's body was shaking and roaring, as if it wanted to release all the spiritual energy on its own.
However, Li Xiaoan forced himself to control himself, using his spiritual energy bit by bit, so as not to drain all the spiritual energy in his body instantly.
If his spiritual energy were to be drained away, he would probably become a "familiar person" on Anshan Mountain.
After about half an hour, the boiling water was no longer so hot.
Li Xiaoan's skin was red, like cinnabar.
Zhang Tiansheng looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand and picked it up.
But this is just the beginning.
Zhang Tiansheng took Li Xiaoan to a cliff again and kept pushing him down.
The first time Li Xiaoan fell, he was almost killed.
If I hadn't instinctively protected my head, I would have fallen to my death.
But as soon as Zhang Tiansheng raised his hand, Li Xiaoan's injuries were completely healed.
“This is the path of holiness for the flesh. Only after enduring many dangers and squeezing out potential can one tap into the treasures of the human body and open the door to heaven.”
"Are you afraid?"
Looking at Li Xiaoan, who was covered in blood, Zhang Tiansheng couldn't help but ask.
Li Xiaoan was still gasping for breath, a little bit dazed.
His legs were shaking as he walked to the edge of the cliff. He looked up at the height of more than ten meters and said in a trembling voice:
"afraid."
Looking at Li Xiaoan, who was pale but walked to the edge of the cliff by himself, Zhang Tiansheng nodded slightly.
"Then continue."
