Chapter 9: Washing the Classics and Forging the Marrow

  At this moment, Jun Xie is still as calm and collected as before, without any surprise or joy, continuing to maintain his state of meditation, seemingly completely unaware of all this.

  It's said that this creation of heaven and earth is indeed mysterious and wonderful, the best since ancient times. However, the heavenly way has its principles, and cultivation is an act of going against heaven, which is the most crucial test of a person's heart and nature. The foundational skills required to enter this realm are extremely difficult to practice, requiring not only great perseverance and unyielding determination but also great opportunity!

  Since ancient times, even if someone had the opportunity to practice this creation of heaven and earth, there were very few who succeeded! Think about it, if it's an ordinary person with a weak mind, they might give up after running 100 or 200 cycles without seeing any reaction. After all, such dryness is not something that ordinary people can bear. Moreover, if the spirit is slightly weak, it cannot persist, and someone like Jun Xie who can run several hundred to thousands of cycles in one breath is absolutely unprecedented for a person with no cultivation experience!

  Even if someone has such perseverance, they will still go crazy in this process due to insufficient divine consciousness!

  But Jun Xie happened to possess all the requirements for practicing the Heaven Creation Technique, and he was originally a person with an extremely tenacious personality. Once he set his mind on something, he never changed his original intention. This kind of personality could be described as being persistent, or stubborn; but Jun Xie was someone who would not turn back even after hitting the wall, nor would he turn back after breaking through the wall! Now that he had started practicing this most difficult Heaven Creation Technique, it was like a turtle encountering a tortoise on its way out - they were originally from the same family.

  Apart from the heart's nature, the good fortune of Jun Xie himself also played a very big role. Hong Yu Tower is precisely Jun Xie's greatest good fortune. Originally without any great opportunity for protection, it was absolutely impossible to enter the door.

  Moreover, Jun Mo Xie's soul was originally a transcendent spirit, his divine consciousness was not weak to begin with, and with the help of Hong Jun Tower, he merged his physical body and divine consciousness as one, making his divine consciousness even stronger. All these factors allowed him to break through the first hurdle in just one night!

  This achievement is unprecedented and may also be unrepeatable!

  The mud ball on her forehead was jumping more and more violently, and later it even started to jump in a regular rhythm, getting hotter and hotter, Jun Xie's pale face slowly turned bright red...

  This sitting lasted until the sky was light at dawn! Jun Evil clearly felt that the fine, thread-like energy running inside his body became more and more lively, gradually connecting into a line.

  Just as the last link of this delicate line was connected, Jun Xie suddenly felt that his eyes were filled with a kaleidoscope of colors, as if all the flowers in the world had bloomed before him in an instant. All the seven-colored rainbows seemed to surround him, and at the same time, thunder rumbled above his head, lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder boomed.

  But Jun Xie's eyes were still closed, which means that all of this was happening within his mind! This is precisely the first difficult pass of Qitian Chenghua Gong: calming the mind!

  Although you clearly 'see' these strange visions, you must always remember that when you cultivate, it is with your eyes closed! In other words, you should not be able to see anything, but now you can see them, what does this represent? This shows that all of this is illusory!

  So you ignore it completely, firmly guarding the clarity of your mind, continuing to cultivate your skills, and paying no attention to anything else.

  "Boom!" Like a bomb, it suddenly exploded in Jun Xie's mind, and his body shook violently. He suddenly felt himself lose control, his soul fluttering about, and with a loud "whoosh", he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood that sprayed far away. Immediately after, he fainted.

  This mouthful of blood sprayed onto the snow-white bed sheet, unexpectedly presented a dark black color, as if it were solid, and didn't flow at all. It looked just like a piece of pitch-black coal.

  Jun Ye's body, which had fallen to the ground in a faint, was slowly convulsing without his awareness. The skin was again slowly seeping out tiny droplets of dark liquid, gradually wetting and staining Jun Ye's soft white robes black...

  This is the real meaning of washing the classics and cutting through the marrow!

  The previous body's internal stains that seeped out only excluded most of the impurities from the skin or muscles, but what is being expelled now truly belongs to the inside of the bones. As for the thick black blood clot that you spat out, it is the impurity from the five internal organs, and it is also the hardest to expel of all the body's filthy substances!

  Your current state, if described by a cultivator, is the realm of 'leaving the mundane'! That is to say, from now on, you have departed from the shackles of ordinary human flesh and officially stepped into the ranks of cultivation.

  To know that every cultivator has achieved the state of 'transcending the ordinary', they must go through a period of considerable suffering and long time, some taking months, others years or even decades, and there are those who cannot reach this realm in their lifetime! But you, sir, have reached it in just one night! This is truly a miracle among miracles. If I were to say it out loud, I'm afraid no cultivator would believe me!

  This is not because of Jun Xie's special physique, nor is it due to his strong spiritual power now. There must be other reasons for this, and the white mist is the most important factor among them. It is the purest heavenly spirit energy! Only Jun Xie doesn't know about it yet.

  Although Jun Xie was a master of martial arts in his past life, he had never come into contact with the realm of cultivation and even thought that becoming an immortal through cultivation was just nonsense. So, even if he clearly knew about the changes in his body, he would only think that he had encountered some great luck.

  When you woke up again, you found yourself in a large wooden bucket, surrounded by warm hot water all over your body, and two soft little hands were working hard to wash your body.

  As I opened my eyes, I found that the little maid's hair was also drenched with sweat, her face flushed red from the heat, and she was holding a soft towel in her small hand, panting as she wiped herself clean. Her small lips were pursed tightly, her face filled with an expression of embarrassment on the verge of tears, her beautiful eyes deliberately gazing upwards, only looking down occasionally when needing to change positions to wipe herself, before quickly averting her gaze again...

  "The little girl's shy expression is really too cute!" As soon as he thought of this, Jun Xie's mind suddenly returned to normal, and only then did he realize that he was completely naked. He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, cleared his throat twice, and said: "I'll do it myself." And then he went to take the towel from Ke'er's hand.

  "A loud cry, and the child grabbed a towel and retreated far away, staring at Jun Xie with a look of shock and panic: "Sh-sh-sh... Young Master, y-y-you... woke up?""

  Helplessly sighing, Jun Xie said: "If I hadn't woken up, would the one talking to you be a ghost?"

  "Ghost?! Ah!" Ke'er let out another shriek, and Jun Xie suddenly found himself able to see the fine hairs on her face standing on end, her small face as white as if she had seen a ghost. Jun Xie couldn't help but sigh: "Stop yelling, even if you really did see a ghost, it's just your current pale complexion, your acting skills are really convincing."

  "Bang!" The door was suddenly kicked open, and a burly figure strode in: "Mo Xie, have you woken up? What happened?" It was Jun Zhan Tian Jun, the old master, with several guards following behind him.

  His Excellency's voice was furious, having already scolded all thirty-six guards guarding Jun Xie yesterday. The events of the previous day could be said to be unexpected, and he didn't think that today would bring another such incident! His Excellency was so angry that he was about to explode: Could it be that my family looks like an easy target? It seems that I must assert my authority, otherwise this life will not be livable! If everyone beats up my grandson, how can we go on?!

  The old man took Jun Ye's fainting as being assassinated by an enemy...
