Chapter 160: Breaking Through
The third watch!
——
Yin and Yang!
Wu Xing!
Thunderbolt!
Typhoon!
Stars!
Regarding the countless mysterious and profound feelings about these ten supreme Taoist principles, like tidal waves rising and falling in Chen Xuan's mind, however, these feelings are all scattered, like pearls scattered on the ground, only by finding a "thread" to string them together can they form the most moving necklace in the world.
And "this line" is to diligently cultivate and practice, day and night without interruption, to ponder and contemplate, and to pursue and explore with perseverance.
When the black and white vortex appeared, Chen Tang suddenly woke up from that mysterious state, but he was horrified to discover that the witchcraft in his body was completely out of his control and could not be stopped.
This feeling is like being in the vast and boundless ocean, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the fate of being battered by the waves, and can only drift with the current.
And Chen Xiao felt that his flesh and blood membrane was like a piece of fermenting dough, swelling, expanding, and constantly being filled with the external force of the star's evil energy, almost to the point of bursting.
How did this happen?
Just now I was clearly absorbing the power of Xingxie?
It won't work, if this continues, I'll be blown up by the Stellar Destruction's power sooner or later...
Chen Xiao originally wanted to take a look at how Bai Yuqing was doing in the distance, but at this moment, he had no time to care about these things. He secretly gritted his teeth and frantically recalled the exercises of the sixth level of the Purple Mansion in his mind.
"Heaven and earth were divided into two, the clear one is yang, the turbid one is yin, to the utmost yin and softness, it is Taiyin... Chen Xuan took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and didn't even have time to carefully comprehend the subtleties of the formula, he immediately started operating the technique, slowly circulating the witch power that was about to burst."
Splash!
The whole body's magical power surged and churned like a fierce dragon, rushing forward recklessly, but under Chen Xiao's powerful divine thought guidance, it quickly began to run along a mysterious trajectory, emitting from all the acupoints on his body, flowing through his blood, flesh, and skin.
In almost a few breaths, a new witch pattern emerged on Chen Xiao's back, pitch black and mysterious, deep and far-reaching, it was the Taiyin Witch Pattern!
The star evil thunder of the Nine Palace Star Array, for Chen Tai, is undoubtedly the best spiritual medicine. When he was enlightened to the Heavenly Way, his body's Qi mechanism automatically operated and had already absorbed the extremely powerful star evil force. Now, when he practiced and condensed the Taiyin Wuwen, it was also a matter of course.
This is fate, if Chen Yu hadn't cultivated the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie Body Tempering Technique", he wouldn't have been able to absorb the starlight energy contained in the thunderbolt, and he wouldn't have fallen into that wonderful epiphany-like meditation state, comprehending several Dao intentions, and naturally, he wouldn't have advanced so easily.
After the formation of Taiyin Witchcraft, Chen Tang felt that the swelling Star Evil power inside his body had finally eased a lot, but it was still extremely dangerous. He noticed that on top of his spiritual platform, the black and white vortex was still continuously transmitting Star Evil power into his body, with threads of lightning arcs mixed in. If he wasn't careful, he could even be struck to death by lightning!
"Just now, during my cultivation, I flew to those two ancient stars, Taiyin and Taiyang, which have been existing since the dawn of time, in a state of meditation. Unconsciously, I grasped a thread of the Dao of Yin and the Dao of Yang. Now, I have successfully condensed the Taiyin witch pattern. Next, let me try to condense the Taiyang witch pattern."
Chen Xuan's mind moved swiftly, and he once again circulated his Qi, starting to impact the seventh layer of the Purple Mansion, the boundary of the Seventh Sun. The result was still extremely smooth, that kind of refreshing and cool feeling, even he himself couldn't quite believe it.
However, when he noticed the extra white and fiery tattoo on his back, he finally confirmed that he had indeed condensed the Sun Tattoo and advanced to the Seventh Realm of Refining Body Purple Mansion!
At this moment, the witch power condensed in Chen Yao's flesh and blood membrane has been greatly concentrated, becoming more and more refined, thick and heavy like **. The five breaths of stars, earth, wood, gold, fire, and water originally contained in the witch power have now added two more: Taiyin and Taiyang, making it look even more ancient, mysterious, and vast.
But it doesn't end there.
After consolidating the Taiyin and Taiyang boundaries, the black and white vortex on his head continued to surge into his body with the power of Xingxie, making it impossible for him to stop cultivating even if he wanted to.
However, a difficult problem stood in front of Chen Xiao. The Gongfa of the Purple Mansion Ninefold Heaven's Star Refining Body Technique, he had previously cultivated to the fifth heavy water boundary, and just now he had also successfully cultivated the Taiyin boundary and the Taiyang boundary. However, the cultivation of the next two boundaries required his own understanding, self-play, and then condensing new witch patterns on his back.
Not bad, the cultivation of the eighth and ninth layers of the Purple Mansion doesn't have any specific techniques, it relies on one's own comprehension, using one's understanding of witch power and the Heavenly Way to condense new witch patterns!
This is a test, with clothes to wear and food to eat, sitting and eating until the mountain is empty, forever transforming into a strong person, let alone the path of cultivation that goes against heaven? Everyone's path of cultivation is different, so-called great way three thousand, each has its own destiny method, even if one master teaches out disciples, it is also different, only by oneself to ponder, to comprehend, what is grasped, is truly belongs to oneself, suitable for oneself.
However, this kind of trial was only popular in ancient times. Nowadays, the cultivation system is perfect, and various sects are like bamboo shoots after rain, standing everywhere in the world. As long as one's talent is not bad and their wallet is not thin, any technique can be obtained. Who would still bother to blindly ponder and waste their energy? What if they go crazy from overexertion?
Only a freak like Ji Yu, who has lived for millions of years, would do things according to the rules of ancient times. As for whether this trial is good or bad luck, only Chen Tai himself knows.
"A new pattern......" Chen Xiao suddenly remembered the various Dao intentions he had realized during his cultivation earlier, and vaguely, he found that except for the Wind Dao intention and the Thunderbolt Dao intention, the other eight Dao intentions were all related to his own body refinement.
For example, Xingchen Dao Yi, the kung fu he practiced is related to the stars. For another example, the five realms of Zifu's first five layers: Wu Tu, Yi Mu, Geng Jin, Bing Huo, and Ren Shui are closely related to the Five Elements Dao Yi. The sixth layer, Taiyin realm, and the seventh layer, Taiyang realm, are related to the Yin-Yang Dao Yi.
In the profound, it seems that the cultivation of the "Zhou Tian Xing Lüe Tu Zhi Shu" is assisted by contemplating and visualizing the Fuxi divine image, which will lead to an understanding of the Heavenly Way, unknowingly reaching a state of effortless accomplishment, the ultimate in mystery.
"The way of the wind is something I've figured out myself, as for the way of thunder, I'm afraid it's just that at the time when I was studying the starlight and thunder, I unknowingly grasped it?" Chen Tai thought for a moment, he also felt that this idea was a bit absurd, after all, the realization of the way of thunder came a bit too suddenly, a bit inexplicable.
Chen Zhuo didn't know that the mysterious energy released by the Hetu fragment in his sea of consciousness, which had just merged into one, was the key to his ability to comprehend various great ways.
Splash!
The surging power of the star's evil spirit poured into his flesh and blood, once again causing Chen Tai to feel a sense that was about to swell up and explode. His muscles and skin seemed to be filled with a powerful force, and a severe pain spread throughout his body. He dared not think any further, and immediately bit his tongue, discarded his distracting thoughts, and concentrated his attention on the skin of his back, following a complete path of the wind's intention that he had grasped, stirring up the witchcraft power to flush it away.
Wind.
Freedom.
Endless changes.
Uninhibited.
He transformed his will into the wind, converting the meaning of the Way of the Wind he had grasped into the trajectory of his magic operation, running it bit by bit, not daring to be slightly careless.
Gradually, on its back, a brand new witchcraft pattern bloomed quietly and majestically like a flower bud... just like the trajectory of the symbol master's pen pouring down, dense and mysterious, resonating with heaven and earth, and merging with all things.
Perhaps in an instant, perhaps after a long time, this brand new tattoo finally took shape, like breathing, suddenly brightened and then dimmed.
This brand new Wind Rune is light, airy and unrestrained, like a gust of free-spirited wind, vividly alive. Obviously, Chen Xiao's self-cultivated Wind Rune has finally succeeded! And his physical refinement has also risen steadily, reaching the Eighth Realm of the Purple Mansion!
Chen Xiao did not feel joyful, as he was completely immersed in the wonderful epiphany of condensing the wind spell pattern just now. He wanted to use this rare epiphany to transform all the thunder path intentions he had previously comprehended into a trajectory of magical power operation, and impact even higher realms.
Thunderbolt!
The main killer!
Control life and death!
Life and death are unpredictable, vast and obscure, representing the severe heavenly power, not allowing any violation.
As one of the Great Ways, the power of thunder is also infinitely mysterious, capable of distorting space, annihilating all things, transforming the land into chaos, and at the same time, thunder is also the signal for the awakening of all things. With a single clap of spring thunder, all things come back to life, and life flourishes, no one dares to disobey. Even the Nine Heavens' Tribulations use the power of thunder as a means to replace the will of Heaven's Way, punishing and reforming the Earthly Immortal cultivators who defy Heaven and change their fate. From this, we can see how terrifying the power of thunder is.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was about to use the Thunderbolt Way's intent he had grasped to condense a Thunderbolt Rune on his back!
Sizzle! Splat!
The faintly discernible aura of the witch's power, accompanied by a flash of lightning, caused every pore on Chen Xu Zhou's body to produce a tingling sensation that sent shivers down his spine.
However, Chen Yao couldn't care about all that. He was immersed in the Thunder Path's intent and suddenly seemed to see a bird-headed, human-bodied deity wearing thunder armor, holding a gigantic hammer shining with lightning, emitting an aura of great distance, antiquity, and eternity, as if born before heaven and earth. With each strike of the hammer, countless thunder clouds would arise, descending upon numerous grand worlds, annihilating cultivators who defied the heavens, altered fate, and provoked the Heavenly Way.
A thread of clarity surged up to Chen Suo's heart, transforming into a trajectory of mystical power that rotated and revolved, washing over the membrane on his back. Gradually, a sinuous, silver-snake-like mystical pattern emerged, shimmering with an eerie, desolate aura.
Lightning Bolt!
In this short period of time, Chen Xiao Lian crossed three stages and reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Body Refining!

P.S: I'm trying hard to describe the dry and dull cultivation in a more vivid and interesting way, but I didn't control the length well, it's really a sin. Tomorrow, I'll try my best to finish this small episode.
