Chapter 441: 0287 Passing thousands of sails, one sees oneself, Break Second Shackles to make a name! (Three-in-one, 10,000 words added, seeking monthly ticket)_3

"Thank you for your teachings, senior."

"Besides you, the last person I saw before I entered Dao was Zhang Zu. His cultivation was beyond mine, and he had one foot in the Sixth Realm. His vision and will had even reached the Seventh Realm. His Sword Intent alone monopolized the Martial Arts Will of the sword cultivators in the Heavenly Heart Mark. Vaguely, Zhang Zu saw the tide of a thousand years later.

He said that this tide would be a major upheaval in Da Xia Martial Arts that had not been seen in ten million years, with more exceptional juniors standing above the tide than us old folks."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"Indeed, the world today is full of strong individuals, but without the predecessors like you who paved the way, this scene would not be possible. Both the ancients and modern people are equally excellent."

Elder Leisure said,

"Is there anyone in the current world who has reached the Seventh Realm?"

"There is."

"What about the Eighth Realm?"

"Not yet, but maybe soon."

Lu Chenzhou thought of the Dragon King or Wanshixian.

"Is Carefree Palace still around?"

"After you entered Dao, the Three Immortals were presumably disturbed by beings from the Netherworld, triggering the chaos of the three kings. Amidst internal and external troubles, the Carefree Palace eventually disappeared, but the legacy continued."

"I see, ultimately, it could not withstand the test of time."

An old and a young man talked inside a thatched hut.

Unconsciously, it was already deep into the night.

Outside the ruins, spectators gradually dispersed.

Some people persisted, waiting curiously.

Everyone was curious about what Lu Chenzhou saw in the thatched hut.

Discussing ancient and modern times, Lu Chenzhou’s gains were substantial.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him emitted a strong aura of death. His handsome face instantly aged, like a withered lotus in winter, retaining only a trace of vitality.

The Dao Yun thus came to an end.

Elder Leisure said,

"I see in you a dual cultivation of Buddhist Law and Daoist Technique, both internal and external cultivation, and even a taste of Elephant Form Fist, practicing a truly upright spear skill."

"Senior, your insight is like a torch; it is indeed the case."

"In my lifetime, I had a modest understanding of Buddhist Daoist Skill, but what I excelled in came from the exotic Qi Men Skill, a cultivation method that can be traced back to ancient ancestors’ Qi Refining Technique.

To some extent, the Qi Refining Technique is also one of the origins of Martial Arts. Before we part, I will impart to you the Dark Weapon Skill of Qi Men as an auxiliary method to protect the Dao."

The elder’s Mud Pill Palace and lower Dantian exuded two streams of black and white Qi, which circulated through the Eight Meridians and various Acupoints in the body, eventually converging into a swirling, gray, foggy vortex in his right palm, floating and rotating like an Energy Ball. On the surface of this gray ball, life energy and death Qi were interwoven, alternately blazing hot and chillingly cold.

Elder Leisure said,

"My Dark Weapon Skill doesn’t require needles, stones, jujube cores, or other mediums, it is formed by condensing Innate True Qi, thus it requires the Second Realm cultivation to be performed... I see that you are only a step away from the Second Realm. It is most suitable for you to practice this technique. However, remember, this technique is extremely malevolent, an absolute killing technique; do not use it unless you intend to kill. Do not use it in friendly martial sparring."

"I will bear this in mind, senior."

At that moment, the elder’s gray energy ball shot out from his palm, causing the void to seem as if it were shattering wherever it passed. It pierced through walls and soared into the sky.

Boom!

The energy ball exploded, clearing clouds in the vicinity with its shockwave.

Life and death breath interwoven, presenting an illusion of vegetation flourishing and withering, exterminating everything.

Even a Grandmaster caught in it might find life worse than death.

Lu Chenzhou inwardly thought: "..."

Such immense power, just like a rocket.

Senior, are you sure this is just a Dark Weapon Skill?

In his memory, Dark Weapon Skills were like those of Tang Zheng, involving the manipulation of flying needles.

As the old man’s figure gradually became indistinct, he advised,

"Although this technique is powerful, it demands a high level of control and consumes a great deal of Innate True Qi. Use it sparingly, keeping it as a last resort for self-defense.

Moreover, to cultivate this technique, you need to cultivate both [Innate Life Energy] and [Acquired Death Qi]. Life and Death Qi must intersect and counteract to form [Life and Death Qi]. Be careful in balancing the Life and Death Qi during cultivation to avoid conflict and explosion.

[Innate Life Energy] is present in everyone from birth, the higher the cultivation, the richer and higher the quality of the life energy. As for [Acquired Death Qi], it can only be born within a quarter of an hour of a person’s death. You need to collect this Death Qi yourself, incorporate and strengthen it within your body; the stronger the deceased, the higher the quality of the Death Qi.

The quality of the Life and Death Qi affects the power of your technique. Do not go on the Demon Path by cultivating with the Death Qi of ordinary people. This technique is both righteous and demonic; whether you become an immortal or a demon depends on a single thought. I believe in your Martial Arts Intention, that’s why I imparted this technique to you.

Do not disappoint me..."

Lu Chenzhou quickly assured,

"I will not disappoint, senior."

Indeed, this Cultivation Method was extraordinary.

According to historical records collected from later generations, Elder Leisure was only second to Zhang Zu during the Dadu Dynasty, stronger than other Great Grandmasters but weaker than the combined might of the Golden Tent Double Kings.

The illusion disappeared.

Inside the hut, it was empty.

Outside the window, the Kunlun Plateau was clear, the sky bright, and the stars like battles.

In his mind, the Martial Arts Tree had already grown twenty zhang high.

In the Inner Scenery Land, towering trees thrived, reaching for the sky. The barren land around the Divine Palace was now lush with green grass. The Life Spring flowed, forming a lake that was gradually expanding. One day, this spring water will flow like the Kunlun Source, forming great rivers and lakes, the Five Lakes and Four Seas.

Lu Chenzhou gained some insights:

"The process of Martial Arts Cultivation is like a journey of creating worlds, with Acupoints like spring eyes, the body like a Heaven and Earth Membrane, power, True Qi, Gang Qi...these are the manifestations of power gathered from the spring eyes, nurturing the civilization’s rivers, lakes, Three Mountains, Five Mountains. When the body reaches its ultimate, the world also approaches completion."
