Chapter 166 Chapter 169, Ouyang Feng’s Golden Core Avenue!
Looking at You Niaojuan's corpse that was firmly stuck to the wall and seemed to have become a wall decoration, and then looking at the blood that seemed to be painted all over the wall as if an evil demon had used blood as ink and splashed it in a large painting, even with Shi Qingxuan's background, his scalp tingled for a while.
"Did it scare you?"
At this time, Ouyang Feng put down the iron zither and said something to Shi Qingxuan with a calm and caring expression.
Seeing Ouyang Feng's calm and indifferent appearance, Shi Qingxuan felt angry for some reason, and replied:
"How could you possibly scare me? Don't underestimate her, Qingxuan is the daughter of the evil king Shi Zhixuan!"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said:
"I'm glad I wasn't scared. Sometimes when I get excited, my shots can be a little wild."
So you call the fighting style that makes someone flattened into a meat patty and sticks to the wall, with the blood covering the entire wall "slightly unrestrained"?
What happens when you get excited and attack with extreme abandon?
Does it literally mean rivers of blood and mountains of corpses?
Shi Qingxuan complained in her heart, but on her face she looked like the daughter of a demon who had seen a lot of storms. Two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled sweetly:
"Grandmasters always do unexpected things. Master Ouyang punished evildoers and killed these four demons who harmed countless people. It's not a big deal if his moves were a little more unrestrained."
Ouyang Feng said: "It's good that Qingxuan can understand."
"But, doesn't Master Ouyang want the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique? Now that the four disciples of the Xieji Sect have been beaten to death by you, how do you plan to find the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique?"
Ouyang Feng glanced at the four bloody corpses and said:
"I have my own way of doing this."
As the three "Tian Tong Ling Zhi" in the world of The Two Heroes of the Great Tang Dynasty, the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, and the world of Demons grow one by one, the "Tian Tong Bao Jian" has undergone three upgrades, and its ability to reflect martial arts has become increasingly powerful.
Now it is very convenient for Ouyang Feng to get the martial arts skills.
If you want to obtain someone's martial arts, you just need to kill the target and then use the "Reflection Kung Fu" to obtain the target's own or closely related martial arts.
For example, after killing the tiger demon in the demon world, Ouyang Feng reflected twice. The first time, he obtained the tiger demon's innate magical power "Tiger Roar", and the second time, he obtained the "Tiger Transformation" technique that required the complete tiger demon's corpse as material to practice.
Today's "reflecting skills" not only have greatly reduced randomness, but also greatly improved the completeness of the reflected skills. It is no longer like the initial situation, when a slightly more powerful skill could only reflect one move or one level of mental method at a time.
Therefore, if he wanted to obtain the "Great Method of Cultivating Demons in the Heart of Taoism" now, he did not need to capture You Niaojuan and other four descendants of the "Xie Ji Sect" alive and then spend time to torture them.
All they need to do is kill them all, and then reflect on the spot next to their corpses. Then, no matter whether they have practiced the incomplete quarter of each technique or not, there is a great probability that they will be able to obtain the complete technique by following the close relationship between the four people and the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique.
Reflection!
Ouyang Feng did not avoid Shi Qingxuan. Since she couldn't see him anyway, he directly activated the "Reflection Technique" on the spot.
Before the decisive battle with Bi Xuan, he used up all of his ten accumulated "Reflection Techniques" and used them all to deduce the "Heaven-Flipping Seal".
After that, he retreated in Huashan in the main world for more than a month to digest the 20% of the true essence of the evil emperor's relics. After the battle, Bi Xuan went south to Lujiang County and wandered around Lujiang for more than half a month, so now he has two more reflection skills.
And today I'm pretty lucky.
After just one reflection, when the light and shadow on the Tongtian Baojian mirror stopped, the revealed technique was exactly the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique.
After a quick glance, Ouyang Feng saw that it was the complete version of the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Technique from the first chapter "The First Step to Entering the Dao" to the twelfth chapter "Demon Fairy". He was in a good mood. He did not use the remaining reflection technique again. Anyway, he did not look down on the martial arts of the four disciples of the Xieji Sect, so he simply saved it.
Looking at Shi Qingxuan who was confused about his operation, Ouyang Feng raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile:
"Last year in Dongping County, Meng Qingxuan taught me the method of sound power. At that time, he said that if I gained something, I would definitely give you a reward. Now that I have achieved success in sound power, it is time for me to give you a reward."
After saying that, without caring whether Shi Qingxuan was listening or not, he went straight into talking about the key to using true Qi to stimulate sound wave Qigong and inflict real damage.
After finishing his speech, he asked Shi Qingxuan:
"Do you remember it?"
"Qingxuan has the ability to remember everything she hears, so she memorized everything that Master Ouyang said. But..."
She blinked her eyes, smiled slyly like a little girl, and said:
"I have never liked martial arts since I was a child. Although I have practiced some kung fu, it was only for self-defense. The best I have practiced is Qinggong. I only practiced music kung fu while studying music. I am exactly the opposite of Master Ouyang. Even if you teach me this music kung fu, I am afraid it will be a waste of talent."
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said:
"I teach you the sound skills only to repay you. As for how you treat it, that is your business and has nothing to do with me."
After a pause, he said again:
"But Qingxuan, you have an amazing talent in music. I think you may have the ability to enter the Tao through music."
Shi Qingxuan asked curiously, "Music into Taoism?"
"Ah."
Ouyang Feng was distracted, browsing the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Technique while slowly speaking:
"Qingxuan's flute sound can not only move people's hearts and minds, but also perfectly harmonize with the sounds of nature, which can be called 'harmony between man and nature'. According to my practice and understanding, after reaching this level, it only takes an opportunity to attract and touch the essence of heaven and earth, and trigger all kinds of incredible miracles. Qingxuan, you already have a solid foundation, and what you lack is just a practical practice method."
Shi Qingxuan was silent for a moment, lowered her eyelids, and said softly:
"So, Master Ouyang wants to lead me into Taoism?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said:
"Qingxuan is extremely talented, and she has unconsciously embarked on a unique path. I can't help but feel a little excited."
Shi Qingxuan played with a strand of hair hanging down from her cheek with her slender fingers and chuckled:
"Qingxuan understands. Master Ouyang is not obsessed with martial arts, but with the Tao. He is happy to hear about the Tao."
Ouyang Feng smiled:
"Qingxuan knows me."
Shi Qingxuan stood up and said sweetly:
"Master Ouyang is a great master, and he thinks highly of Qingxuan. If Qingxuan refuses, it would be a bit ungrateful. This is not the place to talk, Master, please follow me."
After saying this, he floated out of the small temple.
Ouyang Feng put away the iron zither, stood up and followed.
After leaving the temple, Shi Qingxuan looked back and didn't see the big iron zither. She smiled playfully:
"Did Master Ouyang use 'illusion' to hide the iron zither again?"
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"I am not an ordinary martial arts grandmaster."
Shi Qingxuan seemed to understand something, but did not ask any further questions. He led him down the hill and walked forward for dozens of miles until they came to a mountain gorge. After a few twists and turns, they entered a very hidden hut in the woods.
"This is the retreat of an elder. After he passed away, he gave this cottage to Qingxuan. Qingxuan has been living here recently. Please sit for a moment, sir. I'll go boil water and make some tea." Ouyang Feng randomly chose a chair and sat down. He continued to ponder the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method. After waiting for a while, Shi Qingxuan made him some fragrant tea. While sipping the tea, Ouyang Feng listened to Shi Qingxuan telling him about her doubts about the sound training method, and he would speak up from time to time to clear her doubts.
After a long while of questions and answers, Shi Qingxuan gradually understood the sound technique. She bowed to Ouyang Feng and said with a smile:
"Qingxuan understands! Now I will try to practice. Please forgive me for my negligence, Master Ouyang."
Ouyang Feng nodded:
"It's okay. I'm just going to practice for a while."
Shi Qingxuan bowed again and went to comprehend and practice the sound wave technique. Ouyang Feng continued to study and ponder the Taoist method of cultivating demons in the heart, and gradually gained some insights.
In his opinion, the essence of martial arts is to 'refine essence into energy'.
However, the vast majority of mundane martial arts are about refining the essence of the human body, and require hard work before one can return to one's innate state.
However, the magical skills of cultivation such as the "Secret of Immortality" can refine the "Essence of Heaven and Earth" from the very beginning and achieve the most pure and mysterious innate true Qi.
But no matter which method you use, as long as you can advance to the Xiantian realm, you can feed back to your soul and enter the stage of "refining qi into spirit". It's just that the methods are different, the speed of practice, the achievements and supernatural powers obtained, and the upper limit of the future are different.
There are two paths after that. One is to focus on refining the spirit until the primordial spirit emerges, and then take the primordial spirit as the main focus to reach the state of breaking the void.
Like the cultivators in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, they follow the path of the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit is powerful, while the physical body is relatively fragile.
When the void is broken, it is the primordial spirit that is achieved. As for the physical body, it is likely that it will be shattered by the turbulent flow of the void when the void is broken. Or, like Guangchengzi, he shed his body and stayed in the human world, and ascended with his primordial spirit.
Of course this does not affect it.
Because those who can achieve the great perfection of "Yang Shen" can gather into form and disperse into Qi. Even if they abandon their mortal body, as long as they can successfully break and ascend, their Yuan Shen can directly gather the essence of heaven and earth and reshape a "celestial body".
Focusing on cultivating the primordial spirit is also the right way.
However, Ouyang Feng's way is the second one, which is the way of practicing "essence, qi and spirit" together.
"For refining essence, I have Yijin Jiangu, Humo Liangu, Tiger Leopard Leiyin, and Lightning Shining Body; for refining qi, I have Hunyuan Wuji Gong, which incorporates the essence of Changsheng Jue, Tianmo Mi, and other essences; for refining spirit, I have Daoxin Zhongmo Dafa, which can be integrated with the essence of cultivating the primordial spirit to expand and perfect my self-created spirit refining method..."
The Dao Heart Planting Demon Method naturally pursues the cultivation of the primordial spirit. The Dao Heart and Demon Seed are both the cultivation of the primordial spirit.
"This kind of method can be called the 'primordial spirit method'. As for my way of cultivating the essence, energy and spirit simultaneously... it should be called the 'golden elixir method'."
At this point, Ouyang Feng has roughly sorted out his path of cultivation.
On his path, he cultivates essence, energy and spirit together, using the essence of heaven and earth to replenish his own body, true energy and spirit, and all three grow stronger together.
According to the concept of "the human body is one Tai Chi, the heaven and earth are one Tai Chi" expounded in the "Eternal Life Secret" mental method, Ouyang Feng is currently still in the stage of practicing "the human body is one Tai Chi", which can be called "inner scene".
When the inner scene grows to a certain extent and reaches the state of unity between man and nature, and can use "the human body - Tai Chi" to respond to "the heaven and earth - Tai Chi", and even directly pull and leverage the power of heaven and earth to display true immortal means, it can be called the "external scene".
"On that rainy night, I accidentally received and refined the essence of thunder and lightning, and created the Lightning Body Shining Art, which laid the foundation for controlling thunder and lightning. This is the initial manifestation of the inner scene, and I have already had a glimpse of the 'external scene'..."
Ouyang Feng pondered in his heart, "When I truly step into the 'outdoor scene' and can control all kinds of heaven and earth essences at will, and evolve endless magical methods, it will be the completion of the outdoor scene. By then, my essence, energy, and spirit will have grown to an incredible level, and I can try to unite my essence, energy, and spirit to forge an immortal and indestructible golden elixir!"
In the story of Investiture of the Gods, there are several saints who are incorruptible, and their full names are "Hunyuan Wuda Daluo Jinxian".
So what is their realm?
Ouyang Feng remembered that it was the "Golden Pill"!
However, the "golden elixir" of the saint is different from the golden elixir realm of "refining qi, building foundation, golden elixir, and primordial infant" in the stories of cultivation.
A saint is truly one who "swallows a golden pill and determines my own destiny."
As for the other "Golden Immortals", they have only achieved the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Converging to the Origin", and the golden elixir has not yet been formed.
If the three flowers on the top of the head are cut off and the five energies in the chest are eliminated, the Golden Immortal will also degenerate into a mortal body.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng's mind suddenly became clear and he no longer had any doubts:
"My path, the order of cultivation is to start from the mundane martial arts, then return to the innate, and continuously strengthen the Tai Chi in the human body, until the unity of man and nature, and use the inside to respond to the outside, and then evolve the external scene. The external scene is divided into many levels, such as the three flowers gathering at the top of the head, the five qi returning to the origin, etc., but there is no need to divide it too finely, anyway, the final result is to point directly to the golden elixir.
"So, the realms of this path of cultivation can be roughly divided into: acquired, innate, inner scene, outer scene, and golden elixir. And now, I have already achieved the initial unity of heaven and man, and have begun to use the inner to respond to the outer. Can I be called the peak of the inner scene, or half a step to the outer scene?"
His division of realms was just a sorting out and planning of his own cultivation system, in order to make his cultivation clearer and no longer confused.
As to whether this system is correct and whether it can really achieve the goals he has in mind in the future, it still needs to be verified slowly.
But at least judging from the current cultivation results, this path should be correct, and the prospects look good.
But it is not universal.
"To cultivate essence, qi and spirit at the same time requires too high qualifications. For example, I have to cultivate physical skills, true qi skills and primordial spirit skills at the same time. Everyone has limited time and energy. Being able to specialize in one is already a genius. Being able to cultivate two at the same time is even more gifted. To cultivate all three at the same time and reach the golden elixir path is even more extraordinary!"
He is a person with cheats, so he can practice three ways at the same time. But how can others have the same opportunity as him?
Warriors like those in the Twin Dragons world basically specialize in their primordial spirits.
Even if it is the "Eternal Life Secret" which is a "Qi Refining Method" that can develop the potential of the physical body and passively strengthen the physical body, once you enter the Tao, the biggest benefit is the spiritual perception. The process of cultivation is also a practice in which the true Qi constantly feeds back to the mind and strengthens the primordial spirit.
Therefore, in essence, the art of longevity is still about cultivating the primordial spirit. The "refining of essence into qi" at the beginning of entering the Tao is only to lay the foundation for the future "refining of qi into spirit".
"Among the people close to me, even Huang Yaoshi, who is a genius beyond compare, can only practice two things at the most and cannot follow the path of Golden Elixir. As for the others, most of them can only practice one as the main path, and the other two can only serve as auxiliary paths. They don't have enough time and energy to advance all three at the same time... However, even if they can only achieve Yuan Shen, it's actually not bad..."
How difficult is the path to immortality?
With the cultivation conditions in the world of Twin Dragons, there have been so many evil emperors in the "Xie Ji Sect" throughout the ages, and they also mastered the supreme secret method of the magic sect, "Planting Demons in the Heart of Tao", but the only one who can break the void is Xiang Yutian, who has inherited the legacy of the evil emperors of all generations.
As for other eras, there were only a few people who could break the void.
"In the future, I will be able to use the opportunity of the 'Treasure Mirror of All Heaven' to cultivate several Taoist companions to accompany me, to share the great Dao with me, and to walk the Dao path. This is already a great blessing, so why should I ask for too much..."
