Chapter 167: Chapter 107: Sixth Emperors
Cui Chongxuan’s face remained calm, but a storm was brewing inside him. The other party was actually reciting the Six Imperial Heart Sutra. Who exactly was he?
The origins of this Scripture are significant; ordinary people simply cannot come into contact with it!
Initially, even after Master Cui exhausted all connections and the Cui Family sacrificed countless treasures, he only managed to obtain the first volume for him. The other party let him try it to see if he was fated to learn the rest.
"Where is the problem?" Cui Chongxuan asked indifferently, although he was young, he was not without strategy, his face showing no hint of disturbance.
Qin Ming’s expression was tranquil, he said, "Your Six Imperial Forces can only be considered the Small Six Imperial; it lacks a certain grandeur."
In reality, he knew only this short segment, which was of no great use to him.
In the past, Cui Chongxuan dedicated every day to diligently practicing the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, having unintentionally recited it.
Qin Ming once wanted to borrow the Scripture for a look, to cross-reference it with his own Xinsheng Skill.
That day, Master Cui looked on serenely, asking if he lacked the confidence to master the techniques in the silk scripture? The matter of borrowing the scripture was then dropped.
"Six Imperial is also categorized into major and minor?" Although Cui Chongxuan was asking, he still maintained his composure.
"Nature has the Sixth Qi: yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness, and light. Through these Sixth Qi, one can create all scenes. Your practiced Six Imperial Forces are rooted in these," Qin Ming spoke.
He wasn’t just talking nonsense; these Sixth Qi could be found in other books too. Through their exchange, he had determined that Cui Chongxuan’s practice was clearly based on these.
"What’s wrong with that?" Cui Chongxuan inquired.
"Your foundation is somewhat shallow; it doesn’t live up to the Six Imperial Real Meaning," Qin Ming candidly critiqued.
This time, a faint glimmer of Six Imperial Radiance flashed in Cui Chongxuan’s eyes. He had studied for so long and toiled so hard, yet he was being belittled by others.
"What qualifies as the Six Imperial with grandeur? Please explain!" He did indeed want to hear the other’s esteemed view and see if there was any substance to it.
Qin Ming began, "Yin and yang can be retained, while wind and rain are insufficient to command all things. Darkness and light are encompassed within yin and yang. You should seek four other foundational principles that cover the essence of all things. This is the Great Six Imperial."
Cui Chongxuan’s expression changed slightly, unable to maintain his composure any longer. A great storm was indeed stirred in his heart; for an instant, he wavered.
What Qin Ming was waiting for was this moment; he wanted to verify something—if he could resonate with the Scripture when strong emotional turbulence was induced in those around him.
His spirit intensely focused, watching Cui Chongxuan, and indeed it was effective. He saw fragmented verses of the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, not many, related to the Small Six Imperial and Great Six Imperial he mentioned.
Regrettably, this emotional resonance was unstable, and in an instant, he was forced out.
Qin Ming’s expression remained undisturbed, "I have only read one volume of the Six Imperial Heart Sutra; these are just my superficial views. You certainly don’t have to take them seriously."
"Perhaps, you are a senior fellow disciple of mine?" Cui Chongxuan suspected.
Otherwise, how could this person in front of him have seen such a legendary Secret Book, when the Cui Family had paid such a high price, and only earned him a mere opportunity to start?
Qin Ming gave a slight smile, "Regarding the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, don’t just take it at face value. The words ’Heart Sutra’ give the Six Imperial infinite possibilities, and should not be confined to form."
He wasn’t misleading others; after capturing the fragmented verses of the Six Imperial Scripture, this was his understanding.
Back in the day, he and Cui Chongxuan were brothers, how could they be devoid of emotion? Yet, on that final night of parting, when he was setting off on another path to death, looking back, he found Master Cui, Madam Cui, and Cui Chongxuan had not turned their heads, and he quickly left, which chilled his heart.
The young Cui Chongxuan did not know the truth and indeed regarded Qin Ming as a brother. Near their parting, he should have seen through it all.
Qin Ming had grown indifferent to many things, and now unabashedly coveted the Six Imperial Heart Sutra. After all, his silk scripture had also been studied by the Cui family, but no one was able to master it.
He spoke again, "In fact, if one doesn’t talk about the Heart Sutra and only discusses the Six Imperial Forces, there exists an even more authentic primal meaning."
"Hmm?" Cui Chongxuan’s emotions fluctuated.
Qin Ming’s eyes were deep, spiritually resonant, and he gazed at him for a moment before saying, "In the ancient books of the outsiders, within the scriptures of Esoteric Buddhism, they have vaguely mentioned six legendary Close to Immortal Beings, god-like creatures, called the Six Imperial."
Cui Chongxuan naturally knew about these, his mind was suddenly violently shaken, if the Six Imperial Forces were to evolve in this direction, it would indeed be formidable.
Qin Ming did not miss the opportunity, his spirit intensely concentrated, looking at the now uneasy young man before him.
Regrettably, he could not physically touch Cui Chongxuan, and the emotions of such a living person were exceptionally complex, not the pure crystallization of predecessors’ spirit found in the Secret Book.
The Six Imperial Heart Sutra he had obtained was fragmented, though it could serve as a reference, it mainly lacked some fine details.
Qin Ming spoke again, "To command, the very essence of ’Imperial,’ an expansive spirit is needed to wield such powers of the Six Imperial."
Cui Chongxuan murmured to himself, "Six Close to Immortal Beings, god-like creatures, it’s said that they’ve all perished deep within the Yewu World; indeed, this direction provokes imagination."
Qin Ming nodded, "Yes, the Six Imperial Forces could also transform into the Six Emperor Power."
Cui Chongxuan’s thoughts surged. For the past two years, he had been nearly driven to madness in his study of the Six Imperial Heart Sutra. Now with a new perspective, he was naturally greatly agitated.
Qin Ming rapidly "absorbed" the scripture; he valued the Six Imperial Forces highly.
In the past, when Cui Chongxuan wanted to practice the Silk Scripture, Master Cui had said he would find him the Six Imperial Heart Sutra, which could rival the Tathagata Technique and would not be inferior to the Silk Scripture.
Qin Ming was there at the time, deeply yearning for it.
Suddenly, a voice rang in Cui Chongxuan’s head: "Chongxuan, snap out of it, you’re about to be utterly bamboozled by him!"
