"The Great Dao begets few children, only the Quiet thod reigns supre.
Thus the Jing Character Secret is the foremost secret in cultivation; all thods comnce hereunder.
When the body is still, Yang is born; when the heart is calm, wisdom arises; when Qi is tranquil, spirit erges; when spirit is serene, essence is cultivated.
Today, I impart to you the Clear Heart Technique and the Upper Pure Ascension Technique, you must diligently practice them…
Wen Zhong… Wen Zhong!"
"Ah, Disciple is here!"
Before the Shoujing Temple halfway up the mountain, Wen Zhong hurriedly withdrew his unconsciously wandering gaze towards Tian Yuan Palace, bowing his head sowhat nervously and uneasily, "Disciple was montarily distracted, I beg for Teacher's forgiveness."
Facing him, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother was cross-legged on a cloud bed about a ter off the ground, speaking blandly, "By having you stay in this Shoujing Temple, I aim to temper your ntal disposition. Should you remain unaffected by your senior brother's influence and be able to pursue your own path, your future achievents will be boundless."
Upon hearing this, guilt surged in Wen Zhong's heart.
Stillness, quietude.
Indeed, Teacher bears such painstaking intentions.
I must persevere in cultivation; regardless of worldly distractions and splendor, I must maintain this tranquility of heart and certainly not fail Teacher's expectations.
With these thoughts, he quickly centered his spirit in stillness.
Breathing slowly in accordance with the thods described in the Upper Pure Ascension Technique.
Exhaling is to expel the old.
Inhaling is to take in the new.
When exhaling, the tongue crackles like thunder, breath streaming forth like a rainbow.
When inhaling, it is like a giant whale absorbing water, discarding the dross and preserving the essence.
With each breath, a silky, fog-like substance from the air flowed into his body, dissipating within his muscles and bones.
This substance was Spiritual Energy!
Pervading the vast and boundless Heaven and Earth, it is an essential substance with primordial life functions, capable of engendering all things, the root of all existence.
All beings and things are extraordinary due to the integration of Spiritual Energy!
The Immortal Path of cultivation also relies on the inhalation and exhalation of Spritiual Energy, refining it into one's own Mana, thus enabling the execution of various profound Divine Communication Skills.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted from afar, like a mountain collapsing.
Wen Zhong instinctively opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the sound, muttering to himself, "Is Senior Brother creating his art again?"
Unfortunately, the mont he opened his eyes, he t the placid gaze of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
"Uh…"
Wen Zhong, his face reddening slightly, sheepishly said, "Teacher, please forgive , your disciple will indeed calm his mind."
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded noncommittally, then turned her head to look into the distance.
Where her gaze fell, every beautiful mountain peak was marked with clear human-shaped indentations, each unique in form, coming together to comprise an unusual aesthetic.
Under the golden morning light, a tall and lean figure burst forth from one mountain peak.
He was clad in only black trousers, his robust and symtrical upper body exposed to the air, delineating rugged lines, radiating with a martial and virile aura.
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother slowly retracted her gaze, only to turn back and see Wen Zhong staring wide-eyed, admiration and reverence on his face as he sincerely exclaid, "Senior Brother is truly formidable!"
"Your Senior Brother is indeed formidable." The Golden Spirit Saint Mother said expressionlessly, "But his way is suitable only for himself. If you were to imitate him, it would lead to certain death!"
Wen Zhong abruptly recalled the caution his teacher gave when he first arrived at Penglai, hastily responding, "Rest assured, Teacher, I always bear your words in heart."
Golden Spirit Saint Mother gave a slight nod, her gaze once again turning toward the distant tall and robust figure, her eyes revealing a highly complex expression.
After the daily routine "artistic creation," Yu Yuan lanted the increasingly smaller "creative space" left for himself, before returning to Tian Yuan Palace and entering a Treasure Hall marked "Zoo."
About an hour later, he finally stepped out of the hall, his body covered in fresh blood, with wounds from bites, scratches, burns, and punctures all over, presenting a quite ferocious and terrifying sight.
However, these wounds healed in just a few breaths, and the bloodstains on his body also autonomously disintegrated and dissipated.
Yu Yuan's expression remained as calm as ever; he reached out for a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
[Poison gas continuously eroding: Qi-Blood 203, Muscle and Bone 823, Mana 273]
[Poison gas continuously eroding: Qi-Blood 188, Muscle and Bone 925, Mana 225]
...
Yu Yuan exhaled a ring of smoke contentedly.
In over a hundred days, after thousands of attempts, he had finally perfected the addition of Bone-Eating Grass into the original formula.
The new formula not only did not weaken the original effect but also created new and powerful effects.
This was an unexpected joy from his excursion this ti.
Yu Yuan, with the cigarette in his mouth, ca to the "gym" and sat cross-legged in the underground magma, his entire body subrged in it.
Then he took out the Skull Beads he received from Ma Yuan and threw them into the air.
Under his prompting, the beads transford into more than a dozen huge skull heads, all simultaneously spewing green Netherworld Ghost Fire at him.
As the Earthly Evil Fire drawn from the earth veins and the Netherworld Ghost Fire spewed from the skull heads bombarded him simultaneously, the transparent interface in front of Yu Yuan's eyes began to rapidly display strings of numbers:
[Burning from Earthly Evil Fire and Netherworld Ghost Fire: Qi-Blood 327, Fire Resistance 21, Soul Power 353, Spirit 99, Willpower 68, Primordial Spirit Strength 572...]
[Burning from Earthly Evil Fire and Netherworld Ghost Fire: Qi-Blood 334, Fire Resistance 18, Soul Power 411, Spirit 103, Willpower 69, Primordial Spirit Strength 642...]
...
Under the searing of the dual flas, Yu Yuan's thoughts gradually dispersed.
This trip, although he had achieved his pre-set goal, had also exposed himself earlier to the public eye.
Especially since he had foiled the Heavenly Emperor's plan, forcing the latter to run a futile errand to Kunlun and Penglai.
As expected, although he t with the Saint, his request for aid was easily dismissed.
Even when visiting the Sect Hierarch of Tongtian in the Biyou Palace, he was mocked and sneered at.
Remarks like "You previously had no interest in what was offered, now it's too late to ask for help" and "If you looked down on my Jie Sect disciples, why bother making such a gesture now?" directly made the Heavenly Emperor lose face. ThefullseriesishostedonMyVirtualLibraryEmpire,knownas*.
It was said that before leaving, he even inquired about Yu Yuan with the Seven Attendant Immortals.
He would likely have to pay more attention to himself in the future.
With this thought, he suddenly felt inspired, stood up to retrieve the Skull Beads, and then pulled out a thumb-sized, glowing Jade Bead.
This bead was called the Sound Transmission Treasure Pearl, a very rare and special treasure.
Every Sound Transmission Treasure Pearl cos in a pair, allowing those holding the two corresponding pearls to communicate in real-ti, no matter the distance, just by crushing the bead.
The fact that this particular Sound Transmission Treasure Pearl was glowing and flickering indicated that soone holding the corresponding pearl wanted to communicate with him.
Given that such Sound Transmission Treasure Pearls are extrely precious and are single-use items, they are only used to make contact in extrely important or urgent matters.
As Yu Yuan applied slight pressure with his fingers, that Sound Transmission Treasure Pearl imdiately turned into powder.
With a breeze stirring, the powder whirled in the air, swiftly forming a gaunt figure.
Imdiately after, a deep voice rose:
"An abnormality in Returning Ruins, a suspected piece of the Chaos Bell has appeared... Golden Immortals from the Chan Sect have already gone to investigate..."
