269: Chapter 130: The Heavenly Timing of the Universe, I Shall Take Charge (1/3) 269: Chapter 130: The Heavenly Timing of the Universe, I Shall Take Charge (1/3) Late at night, An Jing was cultivating the Son of Heaven thod.
After days of continuous ditation and exercise, the ti he took to enter the state of the Son of Heaven thod had reduced from an hour to about fifteen minutes.
While still lengthy, it was at a level where he could reflect on it whenever he had free ti, making it significantly more practical.
However, An Jing’s true intention was to make the Son of Heaven thod viable in real combat.
In other words, he needed to reduce the ti to enter the state of the Son of Heaven thod to “in a flash.”
If he succeeded, in that flash, An Jing would be able to enter the Son of Heaven thod state and maintain that desireless and egoless state while fighting with others.
In doing so, he could control the circulation of his Spirit Qi within his body with pinpoint accuracy, adopting the most optimized, least self-damaging thod of attack, prolonging his combat ti, reducing internal consumption and injuries, and achieving a state of ‘complete self-control in battle.’
Even if he was injured due to an enemy’s attack, he could imdiately suppress the injury and use Spirit Qi to heal, expelling any residual poison and hostile energy with the Injury-Sword Finger technique.
The idea was excellent, but evidently, it still required a long period of practice, so An Jing would ditate whenever he had ti, especially since entering the state of the Son of Heaven thod also greatly increased the speed at which he circulated his Inner Breath and condensed Magic Prohibition, allowing him to kill two birds with one stone.
Recently, through adjustnts made by the Son of Heaven thod, An Jing had completely eradicated all Demonic Qi lingering in his body from his previous cultivation in the Tianyuan Realm and had healed the internal injuries from his recent continuous battles.
He even gradually adjusted so of the organs and muscles that had not fully developed since his childhood to what he considered perfect condition.
The most direct effect was that the innate qualities of An Jing’s body had slightly improved — this wasn’t an improvent gained from circulating Magic Prohibition techniques but from the most fundantal Innate True Force.
Though it might seem minor, An Jing was only twelve years old and still in a rapid growth phase.
The slight improvents made at this ti would multiply significantly in the future.
Combined with the enhancent from his cultivation techniques, the amount would be considerable.
However, as long as one is alive and still practicing, the condition inside one’s body will continuously change.
The Son of Heaven thod could not reach true perfection, but rather continually approached perfection, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium.
But by persisting in cultivation, one could always await a perfect mont.
Like now.
It was in an instant during this night that An Jing suddenly sensed a perfect harmony between his soul and body.
It was a state of Body and Spirit as One, not inferior to that of a True Person of the Divine Repository like Mingguang Dust.
In that instant, the Essence Qi and Spirit Qi surged within An Jing’s body, like a trendous tide within the boundless sea of Inner Breath, stirring up one massive vortex after another.
And there was such a vast “vortex” right at the center of An Jing’s Soul and Spirit.
—It was ti.
Just as naturally, a genuine Heaven’s Will.
An Jing realized that the Heavenly Timing had co!
The sound of the circulating tidal Essence Qi was like the tolling of grand bells.
An Jing’s body slightly trembled, feeling an aperture open at the center of his Divine Sea.
He was not distracted by these sensations but continued to maintain the state of the Son of Heaven thod, keeping his mind clear and tranquil, as sharp and transparent as a perfectly honed blade.
The surging Inner Breath and Taibai Fiend Qi rushed towards An Jing’s Soul and Spirit.
Refining Destiny Qi, a task most difficult for ordinary martial artists, was in fact the simplest for An Jing, who had already completed Qi Refinent.
For a mont, a much more substantial amount of Spirit Qi poured into An Jing’s Soul and Spirit than would for an ordinary martial artist at the peak of Inner Strength realm, then under the operation of the Son of Heaven thod, it shed its Golden Qi’s sharpness and transford into the most primal Spirit chanism, integrating into the ever-turning vortex.
Not just that, from the deepest part of An Jing’s Divine Sea, the spot of the Heavenly Mandate, gushed a stream like a river of blood fla.
This was the essence of Destiny Pattern needed during advancent in martial arts, the purest Mars Blood Fiend.
The Taibai Fiend Qi and Mars Blood Fiend, clashing in red and golden hues, made the vortex surge like the wheel of ti.
Thoughts began to accelerate.
Enormous pressure evenly descended on An Jing’s Soul and Spirit and body.
If it were an ordinary martial artist at the peak of Inner Breath Like Tide realm, they probably wouldn’t last a breath before they couldn’t withstand it and would then exit this profound state of “Heavenly Timing.”
Only by achieving the cultivation of the Son of Heaven thod, with a body that is perfect and flawless, and a spirit that is constantly without leaks, could one maintain a state of Heavenly Timing for as long as possible.
Suddenly, nurous paths erged in An Jing’s mind.
Sundials, water clocks, hourglasses, sundial sticks, gear clocks, oil lamps, ti sticks, pocket watches, pendulum clocks…
Countless different styles of tikeeping tools appeared in his mind, and these different styles evolved into countless detailed divergent paths, as if waiting for him to choose.
An Jing knew that these paths were all images that fit the ‘Grasping Heavenly Mont’ Divine Abnormality; each different image represented different details of the sa abnormality.
Just as with Pupil Fire, if ten thousand people cultivate it, there will be ten thousand variations in the details, and the capabilities represented by different ‘details of ti’ will also slightly differ.
The Sundial flows from yang, the lunar hour from yin, the water clock from water, the wooden carvings from wood, the hourglass from earth, the oil lamp from fire, the gear clock from tal…
While the acceleration of thought is the sa, the choice of thod of acceleration would determine the basis of An Jing’s Martial ridian in the future, as well as the form and potential of his Divine Skill.
What An Jing needed to do was to choose one road that he wanted to follow.
This road has no right or wrong; the choice itself is a part of fate, and An Jing had a strong premonition that this choice would affect his future path.
And what kind of future did he want?
An Jing was not anxious; he steadied his mind and continued to maintain the state of Heavenly Timing.
In the past, there must have been Saint Heirs or geniuses in the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect who had also cultivated ‘Grasping Heavenly Mont’.
But even with their extraordinary talents, they were unable to maintain the state of Heavenly Timing in the Inner Breath realm for a long ti.
Their bodies and souls had limits, and they might not have been able to choose the most suitable Divine Abnormality for themselves, settling for sothing passable instead.
But An Jing was different.
His Body Refinent cultivation had reached a strong level within the Inner Strength realm, and his Soul and Spirit were so comndable that even Mingguang Dust praised him, believing he might be the reincarnation of an Immortal God.
As soone also comprehending the Great Freedom Heaven thod, where others might reach their limit, An Jing was just beginning to sweat.
Settling his spirit, An Jing continued to simulate, simplifying many different forms of Divine Abnormality by removing the superfluous and keeping the essence.
—What is Heavenly Timing?
Spring, sumr, autumn, and winter, the rotation of the four seasons, can also be called Heavenly Timing.
But…
Can just the rotation of the re four seasons be called Heavenly Timing?
Although the Embracing the Void realm appears to be a world with an Armillary view, a world that emphasizes a circular heaven and a square earth, vast and boundless, its four seasons, compared to the four seasons of a re single planet in his previous life, are definitely more magnificent.
But An Jing also knew that the stars above were by no ans false.
Beyond the Stars, there are still stars, and beyond the world, there are still worlds.
Those too are boundless and majestic entities.
Compared to the re adaptation to the ‘four seasons’ set by the previous Dao Courtyard, which likely led to the rotation of seasons, An Jing believed that true Heavenly Timing should be the scale of the world’s own operation, a rotation and interaction among many different worlds, resembling a cosmos where stars and Heaven Star orbits intersect!
“My fate is with the Seven Fiend, I hold the seven stars…
rely grasping the four seasons of heaven and earth certainly does not align with my desires and my heart!”
As his desires beca clear, the nurous images that had erged in An Jing’s Divine Sea began to dissipate, and a complex, precise image that resonated with heaven and earth appeared in his Divine Sea.
[Grasping Heavenly Mont ∙ Armillary Sphere Shadow]
The instrunt encapsulated the globe, recording the Heaven Star, and among many Star Mansions, there were faintly seven great stars moving retrograde to the celestial trajectory, defying common logic, showing various ominous and disastrous signs.
However, among the seven stars, only one red giant star burned like blood fla, another Taibai Star faintly shined, while the other five stars were immovable, as if they were not yet awakened.
It was already sufficient.
An Jing opened his eyes, his pupils ablaze with fiery blood, Taibai’s sharpness flickering like stars; he had made his choice for the future and would not waver anymore.
“In the stellar heavenly timing, I shall grasp it!”
