Chapter 1008: God's Words and Means
Chen Chuan took a look and then looked away. He thought about it and roughly guessed that what he had just seen was most likely the manifestation of the remaining spiritual power from the past.
This happened in the land of fusion, and also in the place where the Xuanjiao once stayed. There were also suspected to be even larger secret ceremonies around it. It was not surprising at all that such a situation occurred.
And this is not an illusory image, at least it can be actually observed, and it is communicated through words rather than directly through the mind, so there is no sign of virtuality in the second self.
Then why was it not there when he came here, but appeared now? He thought that it was probably because he had split the rift, causing the power of the opposite world to dissipate here, so it was attracted out. It is also possible that the Polygonatum flowers that had grown again outside also played a certain role.
Of course, in addition to these, he actually has another guess, and it is the most likely one, but it cannot be proven for the time being.
As for what the other party said at the end...
He thought about it and decided to go and take a look first.
As for whether it would affect him or there was some hidden conspiracy, he smiled. He himself was not a person who knew nothing about secret ceremonies. If this situation really existed, it might not be safe for him to stay here. He would go and check it out. If there was any problem, he would try to destroy it or simply leave.
He immediately picked up the Xuejun Knife and walked down the cave level by level. It didn't take long for him to reach the bottom.
What appears in front of here is the entrance of the cave that the modified creature saw. It is not very big, only enough for two people to walk side by side. There are still some remaining jade carvings on both sides of the entrance.
He walked in and saw the pictures he had seen before. At first glance, they were some ancient images of immortals and gods. The style was indeed from the early Middle Ages. He reached out and touched them, and some powder fell off.
It can be confirmed that there was indeed a secret ritual here in the past, but it has been badly damaged. What is currently in use should not be this one, but rather relies on the surrounding mountains and rivers. Overall, it should be slightly similar to the secret cave he saw in Longyou Road.
He could also see the black snakes that Chao Ming had eaten. These things were lurking around, but as he walked over, they swam away quickly wherever the light on their bodies shone, as if they could not avoid him.
According to what the mystic said at the end, he walked about two hundred steps inside and saw a jade-white pool of water.
The liquid inside had long dried up and looked like solidified fat. Beside the pool stood two tall stone bowls, each containing a handful of sand.
Xuanshi told him not to use the stones and sand on the right, but to use the stones and sand on the left. But from here, there seems to be no difference between the two.
He thought for a moment, came to the left, grabbed a handful of sand, and sprinkled it directly into the pool.
As these things got down, they made a hissing sound, as if the solidified liquid in the pool was quickly dissolving. The range became larger and larger, and soon it affected the entire pool. Then it actually boiled and turned into wisps of mist that floated upwards.
He looked up and saw a huge portrait of an immortal god above. His face was somewhat similar to the mysterious man he had just seen. The mist entered the immortal god's body, and the immortal god's figure seemed to appear and disappear, with a smile on his lips.
He withdrew his gaze and looked forward, and saw that there was a road behind the pool, but since the other party didn't mention it, he would not go down there.
He turned around and walked back. When he got back to the top, he felt that the entire peak was shaking slightly, and a cloud seemed to appear on the top of the peak, and at the same time, a force seemed to be gathered.
He felt it and it seemed to be a little different from before, but it was hard to tell what it was. He didn't pay much attention to it and returned to the stone bed to continue relaxing himself.
After he had rested enough, he picked up the Xuejun Knife with full energy and slashed it forward. Suddenly, a crack appeared in front of him where the knife flashed.
He stepped inside and stood still. A spirit appeared behind him and gathered the energy into his body, turning it into nutrients for the transformation of the alienated tissue.
However, he could feel something different. Although he was still practicing, his efficiency today was more than one third higher than before. It seemed that both the speed of collecting energy and the activity of the alienated organizations were far better than before.
At this time he could feel it more clearly, as if the peaks behind him were gathering a force that was beneficial to him, making his mind exceptionally clear and transparent, as if all the unnecessary things inside had been wiped away.
He understood in his heart that this was most likely a secret ritual used by the mystics who originally resided here to facilitate their practice. So as long as they practiced in this area, they could enjoy this kind of blessing.
The other party did not lie.
Since it is beneficial, he does not need to reject it. Even if he does not use it, this power will just be wasted. Looking at the fat-like substances remaining in the pool, they cannot withstand consumption for too long.
I practiced like this for another ten days or so, and I felt that I had made great progress. After all, one third of the blessing is not a small amount.
However, after a certain day, the blessing on the peak pillar gradually disappeared. This should be because the things in the pool below were exhausted. Chen Chuan calculated the time and it should be the end of February now.
After mastering the two major styles, it would be much easier to break through the realm of Changshengguan. He had previously deduced that if everything went well, it would take about three to four months, and at most half a year. If there were any obstacles, it might be extended, but that was not an optimistic situation.
Therefore, the longest time limit for him to greet Central City was half a year, because he had been away from Central City for too long and it was hard to say what happened.
Fortunately, he was well prepared when he came out. After applying to the headquarters, he had already handed over the method of cultivation to Xu Chan in advance. If everything goes well for Xu Chan, he will be able to reach the fourth limit within two or three months, so there will be no problem even if he is not there.
However, with this blessing, it seems that we can achieve it a little bit earlier.
"Well? I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Chen Chuan turned his head and saw that the mysterious scholar appeared again. This time he was standing near the cave entrance, still holding a whisk in his hand. He said, "It is indeed true."
The mystic said, "That was just a ritual I set up here. However, this blessing is only external and has now been used up. But if you can correct the mistakes in your own method, even without relying on these, it can still help you reach a higher level. I wonder if you are willing to listen to me?"
Chen Chuan said: "If Xuande is willing to speak, I am willing to listen." Listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while only one side will lead to ignorance. There is no harm in listening. As a fighter, he certainly has his own judgment on whether what the other party said makes sense.
The mystic laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll tell you the key to this." As he spoke, he walked a few steps forward, came to the stone table opposite and sat down, pointed outward with the whisk, and said, "The heaven outside the world has always been divided into the yang near and the yin far away, you should understand."
Chen Chuan nodded. This was actually the difference between the period of change and the period of calm. The two worlds were close in the period of change, but far apart in the period of calm.
The mysterious scholar smiled slightly and said, "The method of 'crossing the sky bridge' used by the world is all done in the world of Yang. There are very few people who cross the world of Yin and Yang."
Chen Chuan nodded. Of course, during the period of change, the two worlds were close to each other, and the alienated organizations were active, so it was easier to practice.
During the cold and silent period, the two worlds are far apart, and the alienated organizations may even stop growing, so practicing is naturally difficult. Even during the cold and silent period, the level of fighters in the entire world will be lowered. This is due to the limitations of realistic conditions.
But he looked at the other party again and heard what he said, it seemed that there was something else going on.
Xuanshi said: "It is a natural process to cross the sky bridge in the world near Yang." He shook his head, "It is not very clever, but if it can be crossed in the world away from Yin, it will be considered clever."
Although we are now in the era of Near Yang, we can use the Near Yang method, but we can only go a few steps further. However, using the Yin Li method, we can go far to the void and see the mystery. "
As he spoke, he smiled again, "If he is not capable of this, I would not say anything. I am just a mediocre person, how can I care about him?" He pointed at Chen Chuan with his whisk, "But I see that your spirit is far away. It would be a pity if you don't follow this path."
As he spoke, he fanned his chest twice again, "Besides, you have practiced my Xuanjiao's method. If you can use it from beginning to end, you can get through it from beginning to end. Although the method you use is top-notch, it is not suitable for you. If you use it completely, it will hinder you. I don't need to explain the reason, you should understand it."
Chen Chuan thought about it and decided that regardless of the previous method, the second half of the sentence was not completely unreasonable.
The method he is practicing now is from Wansong Company, and it is also of a higher level. However, it is not really suitable for him, because this method only solves the problems he needs to face now, and does not take into account his past accumulation.
In fact, he already had his own thoughts on this, and would not follow the path of the exercises completely. As long as the direction was right, there would be no problem in adjusting the details. Of course, it would be better if he could hear other methods' explanations on this aspect.
The mystic smiled and said, "I will tell you the practice method. It is up to you to practice or not. Since you have practiced the 'Spiritual Harvesting Method', you should know that the higher the spiritual energy is, the greater the gains will be. The principle is simple.
According to my Xuanjiao, there are many gates above, and there are different explanations for each. However, I am trying to be mysterious here, so I will not mention them. It is useless to you. You only need to know that the top gate is the most important. If you can use your spirit to feed on the Qi, you can get great benefits. There is a saying called "lighting the purple lamp". Plant the golden lotus, light the purple lamp, refine the Yin hidden, and then the bridge will cross by itself."
Having said this, he went on to explain the Dharma in detail, with each word he spoke containing a rhythm.
Chen Chuan listened carefully. When he heard the last sentence, he looked up and saw that the cave was filled with mist. The mysterious man had disappeared, and only the lingering sound seemed to be lingering.
