Chapter 376: The Magical Use of Eating Clouds
In the world, all things are happening at the same time.
Regardless of whether it is the general trend or human-driven, the situation in the three realms is gradually moving towards chaos.
The demons that invaded the human world from the teleportation nodes also began to spread everywhere, endangering the human world.
In Anshan, excluding the three people who made the mistake of going down the mountain, there were still thirty-three practitioners.
Sensing that there was a hidden disaster brewing in the world, Li Yuan sent them all down the mountain.
Although the catastrophe is inevitable, the chaos cannot be reversed.
But Li Yuan still hopes to maintain peace for a while and protect the innocent lives on earth.
Picking up fallen leaves and flowers, another year has passed in the mountains.
The vegetation on earth withers and grows again and again, and so do the trees in the mountains; but the scenery in the mountains is always like spring.
Li Yuan was walking alone in the mountains, with slow steps and a calm expression.
The breeze is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and the fallen leaves dance along with it. Everything seems quiet and leisurely.
Feeling the freshness of nature, Li Yuan took a deep breath and asked himself:
He once had a human heart.
Likes to make noise and is used to jumping around.
But gradually, as his interaction with this world deepened, he began to integrate into his own identity.
Consider yourself an eternal immortal god.
Begin to measure, try to calculate.
Although I have never been high above and looking down on the world, I always feel that some feelings in my heart are undergoing subtle changes.
This was a subtle change that even Li Yuan himself found difficult to notice.
It's as if... I'm moving closer to an immortal god who is heartless, has no desires, and has eyes full of deep calculations.
But, is this right?
His future seems to be clear.
Promoted to divine rank, overcame tribulations, ascended to heaven, changed the rules of heaven, and established a new path.
But the road ahead seems hazy.
As he walked further away, Li Yuan felt that he seemed to be becoming less and less like himself.
Not like the Li Yuan of the past.
If one day, the old friends die and the times change.
All familiar people fade away.
If I hide in the mountains and watch the rise and fall of the human world, will I become indifferent and completely become the person I hate?
The secret of heaven is revealed, hazy and obscure.
Li Yuan seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment.
"Who am I..."
He lowered his eyebrows slightly, looking at the beautiful mountains and forests, the mountains, rivers and lakes, and always felt that everything was extremely far away from him.
He is an ordinary young man who traveled through time and space and has a quirky personality.
He is a mountain god who sits firmly in the mountain and is revered by people.
Or is he a "reckless and troublesome person" who travels around the world, gets angry when seeing injustice, draws his sword and kills the immortals?
“Both, and neither.”
"Li Yuan is Li Yuan, whether he is joking, playing around, pretending, or scheming... no matter what, it is what his heart desires."
"If your heart is strong, your intention will be clear."
Li Yuan stopped and spoke firmly to himself.
Don't let your mood get disrupted by temporary confusion.
He slowly reached out and caught a falling leaf.
Looking closely, I found that it was a field of green and yellow bamboo leaves.
Before I knew it, I had walked into the bamboo forest out of habit.
He looked at the bamboo forest that seemed familiar, and for a moment, he felt a little dazed.
In my mind, a gentle figure seemed to flash by, with a subtle smile and sad tears.
Li Yuan stood at the edge of the bamboo forest, thinking and not moving for a long time.
Behind me, the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground could be heard slowly.
"Hey, Li Xuyuan!"
"What are you daydreaming about? I want to eat hotpot. Should I go to the city?"
Zheng Tai Biao walked over whistling, looked at Li Yuan standing in a daze, and couldn't help but frown and shout.
Li Yuan stood motionless in the middle of the winding mountain road.
In front of him was a dense and green bamboo forest, and not far behind him was the dark-skinned little boy with his hands on his waist.
He was placed between the two, neither far nor near, like the only node on a line.
Whether it was the gentle figure that flashed through my mind, or the handsome boy who greeted me.
And every person and thing I encounter along the way.
They all seem to represent some kind of meaning.
Pulling him, holding his sleeves tightly, and guiding him.
Let his way not stray.
Li Yuan turned sideways and looked at the waving young boy, then turned back and looked at the dense bamboo forest that was swaying quietly.
At this moment, I seemed to have some kind of understanding.
He was never complete.
"Let's go and have hot pot."
Li Yuan chuckled and twitched his eyebrows.
Zheng Tai Biao came running over and punched Li Yuan directly:
"Why are you daydreaming? I thought you were possessed!"
Before Li Yuan could react, the blood-stained scales in his arms could be heard shouting from the demon:
"You hit my scales!"
Zheng Tai Biao curled his lips and crossed his hands: "If you have the guts, come out and hit me?"
Tian Yao: "F**! ****!"
Li Yuan burst into laughter.
......
In the quiet mountains.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged quietly, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and inhaling and exhaling the essence.
There was still a terrible crack on his waist that had not been healed.
Of course, he had already changed into a new set of clothes, so it wasn't noticeable from the outside.
The fish was in no hurry to bite the hook, and he remained seriously injured.
He just pretended occasionally, trying to heal his wounds and draw his sword.
With the fairy treasure Brocade Map protecting the mountain, it is impossible for outsiders to always spy on it.
Nothing happened today.
After Li Yuan went down the mountain and toured the capital of Anyue, he returned to the mountain to meditate.
He was very curious about the secret art of eating clouds.
Chen Yousanren once said that it was a unique secret method created by the old Taoist priest.
He thought about it and started to practice according to the magic formula.
This period of practice lasted for several days and nights without moving.
When Li Yuan opened his eyes again, he felt that this method was truly mysterious and could be called a peerless skill!
There are all kinds of auras between heaven and earth.
All living things, birds, beasts, fish, insects, even immortals, gods, demons and monsters, have their own unique aura.
And everything between heaven and earth has its "qi".
The blazing golden crow burns eternally, emitting the essence of the sun; the bright jade plate hangs quietly high, dropping the moonlight.
The sky is full of shining stars, flickering and shining with the radiance of stars.
There is infinite and limitless pure air in the sky, and there is boundless and endless turbid air on the earth.
Among the five elements, there are also five completely different mysterious auras entangled.
The word "Canxia", as the name suggests, means to eat the mist of heaven and earth and cultivate the essence of all things.
Pure air cultivates the soul, while turbid air crosses the body, like the separation of yin and yang, like the two poles of heaven and earth.
The subtlety of the Canxia secret technique lies in the fact that it is not an ordinary method of absorbing spiritual energy.
It is not the merit and practice of immortals and gods.
It has created a special path, using "Qi" as a medium, so that practitioners can use this path to directly glimpse the origin and essence of heaven and earth and listen to the true sound of all things.
Although it is a secret technique of cultivation, it is countless times more precious than any other martial arts technique.
According to the level of practice of the Canxia secret art, it is divided into four levels.
The first level is to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, to cultivate the body and soul, and to temper the body of the shortcut.
After cultivating a 'Tao body' that connects the heaven and earth, as long as one's cultivation keeps up, one can become an immortal in the mortal world.
Without ascending, you can have power comparable to that of immortals and gods.
This was also the level that the old Taoist priest himself was at back then.
Although he did not practice this technique to a higher level, the subsequent deductions have been roughly perfected.
However, the subsequent practice of this secret art of Canxia also has extremely high requirements.
The second level is to intercept a wisp of Five Elements Qi from the sky.
The five elements of true qi are absorbed into the body and turned into a millstone, crushing all breath. After it is fully developed, the immortal origin can be refined.
If one cultivates this immortal origin, the physical body will be like nirvana, like a gap connecting heaven and earth.
From then on, when fighting with others, as long as he still has a breath left, both his body and soul will be able to never be exhausted.
Any breath absorbed will be assimilated by the Five Elements Grinding Wheel into the required power.
The third level is even more terrifying.
It directly requires the original energy similar to Tiangang Haoran Qi and Hunchun Xuanhuang Qi as required for cultivation.
When the Canxia secret art is cultivated to that level, one can even capture the original energy of heaven and earth in the boundless sky and forcibly use it for oneself. It is truly powerful.
As for the fourth floor...
After taking a look, Li Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.
The fourth level of the Canxia secret technique is really too outrageous.
I'm afraid no one in the three realms can meet the requirements.
It actually requires the Origin of Heavenly Dao and the Origin of Chaos, as well as a completely different Origin of Heavenly Dao... ?
This sentence in the magic formula is full of questions.
The old Taoist priest had amazing talent and extraordinary cultivation, but he had only deduced half of the last level of this technique.
The remaining half still needs to be completed by future generations.
However, as long as one's own cultivation level keeps up, once this secret art of Canxia has been cultivated to the third level, one would basically be equivalent to a powerful immortal.
He is considered a high-end powerful person in the Three Realms.
However, his cultivation level could not keep up, and he could not cultivate the Canxia secret technique to a high level.
The two are complementary to each other.
