Chapter Fourteen Cultivation
The Seven-Star Heavenly Qi Refining Technique is divided into seven layers.
The first refinement of Golden Elixir refines the skin, drawing out the essence of the Geng Metal star to temper and refine the skin.
The second heavy fire refines the bones, bringing out the fierce fire star to refine and temper the skeletal frame.
The third heavy water strangulation, leading to soft water star strangulation and rubbing bone tendon.
The fourth heavy earth grinds the muscles, leading to thick earth star oppression and grinding of flesh and blood.
The fifth refinement of the wooden body, drawing in the pure wooden star essence to heavily refine the physical body, at this point, the post-heavenly body is fully cultivated.
"As expected, it's impressive. By tempering the entire body with the five elements and star calamities, one can already cultivate to the post-heavenly perfection realm, which is far simpler and clearer than the Refining Qi Formula."
Chen Xiao was amazed, but immediately furrowed his brow and muttered: "However, simplicity doesn't mean it's easy. The method of refining the body is extremely difficult, and only those with great willpower and perseverance can withstand the pain brought by refining the body. This Star Refining Body Technique originated from the master of the cave, and can even be traced back to the ancient times 100,000 years ago. It's probably more difficult to cultivate than ordinary body-refining techniques."
Thinking of this, Chen Tang's mind calmed down a lot and continued reading on.
The sixth stage is the Refining Body Pre-Heaven Realm. Upon reaching this realm, the internal and external Qi and blood of the entire body are boiling and steaming like a cauldron, with the Qi mechanism penetrating through like a rainbow, possessing the strength to move mountains like a dragon or an elephant.
The seventh layer is the Purple Mansion Realm of Refining the Body. Upon reaching this realm, a terrifying and mysterious power - Witch Power! - will surge forth from between the blood, flesh, and bones. With Witch Power, one can cultivate unique secret techniques and divine abilities, such as Fist Transmuting Mountains, Law Emulating Heaven and Earth, Unmoving Golden Body, and so on.
"Wu Li? Isn't it the same as the true yuan cultivated by Lianqi practitioners? What is Shentong Famen? Unfortunately, I know very little about physical cultivation, and I must find an opportunity to understand these things clearly. Otherwise, my practice will inevitably be hindered."
Chen Xiao thought silently, suddenly thinking of another question: "This 'Zhou Tian Xing Lian Ti Zhi Shu' originated from the hands of the cave master, it must not be just these. Could those more profound ones still be in the hands of Qi Yu?"
Forget it, thinking too much is useless. I'll just hurry to the Purple Mansion Realm and when I re-enter the cave mansion, as long as I can pass the first trial of Tianfeng, Senior Ji Yu should teach me the rest of the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie's Body Tempering Technique".
……
Chen Xiao got up and came out of the house.
The night sky is pitch black, with stars twinkling like bright pearls on the velvet expanse, casting a mesmerizing and profound celestial glow.
Looking up at the countless stars in the sky, Chen Xiao silently recited the first refinement method of "Zhou Tian Xing Lie's Body Tempering Technique". After a long time, his brow furrowed and he muttered: "It's really difficult!"
The "Zhou Tian Xing Lian Ti Zhi Shu" has several major checkpoints, and the entrance is one of them.
To attract Geng Jin Xing Jiao to refine the body, the first step is to perceive the star 'Chang Geng' that is full of Geng Jin Xing Jiao. The second step is to use the body as the center and resonate with the Chang Geng star from a distance, in order to successfully attract Geng Jin Xing Jiao and refine the skin.
Among the billions of stars, Chang Geng Xing is the brightest. If you observe carefully, it won't take long to find it. As for using Geng Jin Xing to temper your skin, it's not too difficult either, just follow the method and cultivate accordingly.
The most difficult part is the second step, perceiving Changxing Star and responding to it from afar.
Fortunately, the "Zhou Tian Xing Lian Ti Zhi Shu" recorded a detailed method of perception, although the method was cumbersome, but it solved Chen Tang's urgent need.
"Whether it succeeds or not, trying is always right..."
Chen Xuan took a deep breath, calming his mind to the utmost serenity, before slowly closing his eyes, sitting cross-legged on the courtyard ground, his head slightly raised, facing the brightest star in the distant sky.
Then both hands were placed in front of the chest, with ten fingers intertwined like vines, forming dense and simple handprints, subtly carrying a hint of mysterious and profound flavor.
One by one, handprints are born and perish, like the ebb and flow of tides, as if there is no end in sight.
Half an hour later.
Chen Ting suddenly stopped the movement in his hands, with his right palm facing upwards and his left palm facing downwards, motionless, like a silent stone statue, exuding an unusual calmness.
Ding!
Like the camel bell echoing in the distant desert, it brings a cleansing power of serenity to Chen Xuan's mind.
"Have you started practicing?"
Inside the cave, Ji Yu lifted his head from the rolling river, as if listening to something. In those eyes filled with vicissitudes, a strange light flowed out, like excitement, like sadness...
Chen Yu felt as if she had grown a pair of wings and flown up to the sky, rushing towards the depths of the night sky, without feeling tired or knowing where it would end.
Flying over a string of twinkling stars.
Flying over one by one of the eerie black holes that make people's hearts palpitate.
Flying over the meteor shower like a burst of fireworks.
Finally, he stopped in an endless void with only one star, a huge star emitting billions of golden lights.
Golden light is sharp, like a sharp sword, the entire starry sky is like being filled with countless handles of sharp swords emitting a chilly aura, surging and dense sharp breath bursts out, making people dare not gaze directly.
Is that thick golden light the Gengjin star?
Chen Yao was like a blessing to the soul, he sat cross-legged in the void, his expression calm and serene, quietly closing his eyes.
At this moment, a strand of clear and faint starlight poured down from the starry sky above, like a dense and silent fine rain, falling into the courtyard, swirling around Chen Xiang's body.
This painting is extremely strange, as if a delicate light bridge was built between the heavens and the earth, connecting Chenxiang with the stars of Changgeng!
Huh?
It seemed to have sensed something, and on the vast and boundless southern border land, thousands of terrifying auras suddenly emerged, with gaze after gaze looking towards the far south, their expressions puzzled, shocked, and bewildered...and countless other emotions.
Who can actually communicate with the power of the stars?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In Songyancheng, figures rose from different places and stood in mid-air, their eyes fixed on the same direction - the civilian district.
Stardust falling to earth? How could such a strange phenomenon appear there? What does it portend?
However, when everyone wanted to investigate further, they were shocked to find that the night sky was as black as ink, everything returned to normal, and they could no longer feel that strange power that had suddenly appeared, as if nothing had happened from start to finish.
Is it an illusion?
No!
Something must have happened.
No one doubted their intuition just now, they reluctantly searched again and again, but there was no discovery, and they had to return in doubt.
……
"Haha, my master has finally found a worthy successor after all these years, how dare you disturb him?" Inside the cave, Ji Yu looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, feeling an indescribable sense of joy.
After a long time, Ji Yu's expression returned to calmness, and he muttered: "Youngster, work hard, a true strong person doesn't need anyone's protection. From now on, I won't make an exception for you again unless... you can pass all the trials of Tianfeng!"
All of this, Chen Tang was completely unaware of.
Around him, countless starlights fluttered and the color gradually changed into a purely dazzling gold.
"Success!"
Chen Xiao opened his eyes, gazing at the golden light spots fluttering around him like fireflies, and murmured: "Is this the Gengjin Star's bane?"
His heart was stirred and he immediately, without any hesitation, activated the first heavy mental method of the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie Zhuan Ti Zhi Shu"!
Hehe!
Suddenly, the flying golden stars around him stopped abruptly for a moment, then transformed into sharp golden needles that surged into Chen Tai's skin.
Ouch!
Excruciating pain!
Although he was well-prepared, when the golden star touched his body, Chen Tai still felt a sharp pain that made him almost lose control of his body. It felt as if ten thousand sharp silver needles were piercing his entire body at once, causing his skin to tremble uncontrollably.
Geng metal star is a condensation of the sharp energy accumulated during the rotation of the stars, extremely pure and used to temper the body, naturally causing immense pain.
Hang in there!
If you can't even get past the first hurdle, what's the point of talking about revenge?
Chen Ting's forehead bulged with blue veins, his face twisted in an eerie grimace. He gritted his teeth and struggled to maintain the last shred of clarity in his mind, slowly circulating his internal energy.
The pain was like a tidal wave, each wave more ferocious than the last. Chen's entire body oozed out strands of deep red blood from every pore, and he quickly became a bloody person.
It was unknown how long it took, but Chen Tai slowly withdrew his energy. His mind had been tortured by the pain to the point of numbness. He tried to stand up, but he felt that there was no strength left in his body, only endless pain and fatigue, and he couldn't even stand up anymore.
"The first hurdle has already tormented me to this extent, it seems what Season Yu said was true, my body is indeed too weak..."
Chen Ting did not lose heart, this fact made him sober up a lot and also recognized the situation of his own body.
After sitting still for a moment, waiting for his body to recover a bit of strength, he gritted his teeth again, using both arms to slowly prop himself up, and finally stood up, but was already in so much pain that he was drenched in sweat.
He stumbled step by step into the house, washing away the blood on his body with cold water, and then sat down on the bed, panting heavily.
Even if he was exhausted and in pain to the extreme, Chen Xiao still didn't delay for a moment, starting to cultivate the "Zi Xuan Skill".
His idea was simple, just two words - get stronger!
Without a firm belief and persistent action, one will never know how powerful they can be, right?
Chen Xiao is working hard, silently and firmly.
……
The next day, Chen Yu got up on time.
After practicing the "Zi Xuan Gong" last night, he followed Ji Yu's instructions and sat cross-legged in the sea of consciousness, quietly contemplating the true body imprint left by the master of the cave. It wasn't until dawn was about to break that he fell into a deep sleep.
So although his face was unusually pale, his spirit was extremely good.
Huh?
Chen Xiao suddenly discovered that overnight, his six senses had become unusually sharp.
Outside the courtyard, leaves gently swayed, making a soft and ethereal sound; in the corner crevices, rows of ants marched in neat steps, busily transporting food; under the eaves, a butterfly fluttered and stood, basking in the morning light, its body agile and graceful...
Everything was so full of life and vitality, everything made Chen Xi feel fresh and amazed.
"It must have been after I gazed at that Fuxi divine image last night that my spirit and soul became stronger!"
It was almost instantaneous that Chen Tai thought everything through, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "However, to be able to bring my spirit to this state overnight, the true body imprint left behind by Fuxi is truly extraordinary!"
