Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Ning Changge silently nodded in agreent. The Quanzhen Sect’s philosophy was similar to Wudang’s. Though it was a Jianghu sect, its essence was rooted in Daoism.

The disciples primarily cultivated the Dao, with martial arts serving as a supplentary practice for protection.

However, the Quanzhen Sect wasn’t purely Daoist; it advocated the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This fusion of the three teachings, focusing on understanding the heart and seeing one’s true nature, was what defined Quanzhen.

The disciples’ expressions grew serious as they listened intently. Ning Changge also sat upright, paying close attention. From his previous discussions with Wang Chongyang, he knew that the Grandmaster’s understanding of the Dao was exceptional.

Wang Chongyang’s voice echoed through the hall: “Those who leave the secular world must first seek a hermitage… If one does not move, the blood and Qi will stagnate…”

“dicine is the essence of mountains and rivers, the quintessence of plants and trees…”

“The Dao of the heart is such that if one remains calm, the heart will not move, and one will see nothing…”

…

He began with the basics, discussing hermitage, wandering, studying, ditation, and calming the mind. Though these were foundational concepts, Wang Chongyang always managed to offer new insights, often using examples to explain his points.

Ning Changge nodded in approval, feeling inspired. However, when he glanced at the disciples, he noticed that most of them seed confused, understanding the words but not the deeper aning.

“Five Qi gather in the central palace, three essences converge at the peak. The Azure Dragon exhales red mist, the White Tiger spits black smoke. The myriad spirits align, the hundred ridians flow, cinnabar glows, rcury and lead condense. Though the body resides in the human world, the spirit roams the heavens…”

Wang Chongyang continued, his eyes deep as though imrsed in the world of Daoist scriptures. He delved into his understanding of the Three Flowers and Five Qi.

“The three essences are the three flowers—essence, Qi, and spirit. Essence is the jade flower, Qi is the golden flower, and spirit is the nine-flower…”

Ning Changge’s mind felt as though it had been struck by lightning, and flashes of insight began to appear.

“Three Flowers Gather at the Peak, Five Qi Return to the Origin. Essence, Qi, and spirit nurture the three flowers, while the five organs store the five Qi, which correspond to the five elents.”

“The Five Qi and Five Elents… Once I reach the Foundation Establishnt stage, I can delve deeper into this.”

“As for the Three Flowers—essence, Qi, and spirit—I’ve already touched upon them. When I comprehended the Pure Yang True Fire, I gained insight into the True Fire of Essence and Qi. Only the True Fire of Spirit has eluded , but could it be that…”

“I’ve been guarding a treasure without realizing it?”

Ning Changge couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, feeling a great sense of relief. In his sea of consciousness, his Spirit God flickered, and a pale, eerie fla began to rise, growing stronger with each passing mont.

The Spirit God was the embryonic form of the Primordial Spirit, and the True Fire of Spirit was born from the Primordial Spirit itself. Just as the Pure Yang True Fire had erged from the sun-like spiritual energy, the True Fire of Spirit would erge from the Spirit God.

[System Notification]

In that mont of enlightennt, a pale fla suddenly rose from Ning Changge’s body, exuding an unsettling aura. The Pure Yin True Fire was the True Fire of the Primordial Spirit, specifically designed to burn the Primordial Spirit, consciousness, soul, will, and even obsessions.

As the Pure Yin True Fire ford, Ning Changge felt all his distracting thoughts burn away, entering a state of emptiness and clarity. The pale fla continued to rise, enveloping him, but it did not spread outward.

Wang Chongyang was startled awake. When he saw the fla surrounding Ning Changge, his pupils contracted. He felt as though he had encountered sothing terrifying, as if the fla could burn him into the cycle of reincarnation, erasing his soul entirely.

“What kind of fire is this…?”

The disciples below also noticed the strange phenonon around Ning Changge, their eyes wide with shock as they whispered among themselves.

“What’s happening to the Little Immortal?”

“Could this be the legendary Pure Yang True Fire?”

“No, I’ve heard that Pure Yang True Fire is blue, but this fla is pale.”

“Could it be… that the Little Immortal has gained new insight from the Grandmaster’s lecture?”

This speculation left everyone in awe. What kind of monstrous talent could gain such terrifying enlightennt from just a brief lecture? Though they couldn’t fully comprehend the fla’s power, they instinctively knew it was dangerous—just a spark could likely wipe out the entire Quanzhen Sect!

The disciples whispered in low voices, but Wang Chongyang quickly gestured for silence. They imdiately quieted down, their eyes still fixed on Ning Changge.

By this ti, the flas around Ning Changge had gradually dissipated, and the True Fire of the Primordial Spirit had withdrawn. He erged from his ditative state, his eyes filled with a hint of apology.

“I deeply apologies for interrupting your lecture, Master Chongyang.”

Wang Chongyang waved it off but couldn’t help asking, “Did you gain so insight?”

Ning Changge smiled and nodded. “A little.”

He didn’t bother hiding his joy. The harvest from this session was imnse. Now that he had comprehended the True Fire of the Primordial Spirit, if he could also grasp the True Fire of Essence, he would be able to combine essence, Qi, and spirit to form the Samadhi True Fire once he reached the Foundation Establishnt stage!
