The biggest difference between martial cultivators and Taoist cultivators is that martial cultivators cultivate true qi, while Taoist cultivators cultivate Tao qi. The difference between Zhen Qi and Dao Qi is thousands of miles apart. The power and destructive power of Dao Qi is at least a hundred times that of True Qi. Those cultivators can use Dao Qi to flatten mountains and reclaim seas, but martial cultivators cannot even think of doing so even if they have reached the tenth level of Qi.
But whether it is cultivation Qi or Dao Qi, it is necessary to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. The essence of heaven and earth is the original energy and the source of all power in this world. It's just that martial arts practitioners generally only know the art of breathing and exhaling. Using this method, the amount of heaven and earth essence that can be absorbed is pitiful and the speed is slow.
But the cultivators are different. The cultivators know how to transport the essence of heaven and earth. Not only can they absorb it a thousand times faster than ordinary martial artists, they can also use the essence of heaven and earth as weapons at critical moments to transform them into thousands of attack methods. , defeat the enemy and win. In the final analysis, martial arts practitioners and Taoists have different understandings of the way of heaven.
The first three levels of body refining in Xuantian's Divine Enlightenment Technique are to introduce the essence of heaven and earth into the body to temper the impurities in the body in preparation for the subsequent refining of qi and god. Naturally, the faster and more essence of heaven and earth is absorbed, the faster this process will proceed.
After thinking about it, Wandong couldn't wait to test it.
"Sit cross-legged with your knees crossed, your five hearts facing the sky. The mind is internal, and the thoughts are released. Ups and downs, regardless of form and concentration. Follow your heart, and your thoughts are clear. The essence of the four directions can be traced back to the original heart..." Wandong chanted slowly, One side entered a mysterious realm.
In this realm, everything in the world seems to have disappeared, but the surroundings are not peaceful at all. Countless air masses are rushing together, like a vast ocean, with roaring waves. This is the essence of heaven and earth.
Wandong started practicing martial arts when he was five years old. Before jumping off the cliff with Mu Lian, he had already reached the second level of Zhen Qi. However, he had never been so close to the essence of heaven and earth, and he had never discovered that this The essence of heaven and earth is so rich and abundant. In the past, when he was practicing, he could only absorb the essence of heaven and earth the thickness of a pen in an hour. Even so, he was regarded as the number one genius in Tiandu Kingdom.
Immersed in the vast sea formed by the accumulation of heaven and earth essence, Wandong's heart was filled with turbulent waves. No wonder the Taoist cultivators are so much stronger than the martial cultivators!
Not willing to waste a moment, Wandong immediately followed the essence of the Xuantian Enlightenment Technique to connect himself with the sea-like essence of heaven and earth.
It was as if a channel that had been blocked for a long time had suddenly been opened up. The essence of heaven and earth, like water, swarmed in and poured into Wandong's body crazily, washing his meridians over and over again.
And after each wash, there would be a trace of golden air that was as light as clouds, but solid, integrated into his muscles and bones, and disappeared. With every trace of golden air flowing into it, Wandong could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger bit by bit. These are the first three important tasks of Xuantian's Enlightenment Technique - body refining.
First the muscles and bones, then the five internal organs, and then the blood marrow, a total of three levels! When every cell in his body is filled with golden air flow, the first three levels of the Xuantian Enlightenment Technique will be completed. At that time, his Yuan Mansion might be empty and there was not even a trace of true energy to be found, but he could still blast a strong man with the tenth level of true energy into smithereens with one punch. By then, his physical strength will definitely reach a trembling and terrifying level.
…
In the family ancestral hall, Xu Wenchuan knelt all night. It was not until dawn that Xu Wenchuan walked out of the ancestral hall with a haggard look. Xu Wenchuan's heart tightened again when he thought of Sun Daobai's words.
"Oh my God! Our Xu family's only single seedling, could it be that... could it really not survive today?" Xu Wenchuan raised his head and asked the sky, and tears flowed down again unconsciously.
He had shed more tears in the past few days than he had shed in the first half of his life combined.
"Dad! Dad!" Xu Wenchuan was in a state of distress when Ning Shan's shout suddenly came from far and near. Xu Wenchuan's expression froze. Hearing Ning Shan's shouts, he felt extremely anxious. Could it be...
Not daring to think about it any longer, Xu Wenchuan suddenly jumped up into the sky like a storm, heading straight towards Ning Shan, and rushed towards her like lightning.
"Ning Shan, is it Yao Ting..." Xu Wenchuan couldn't wait to ask before he landed.
"Dad!" At this time, Ning Shan seemed to be going crazy. It seemed that she was not only sad, but also anxious and doubtful. "Dad, Yaoting, he... he..."
"How is he? Tell me!" Xu Wenchuan yelled anxiously.
Ning Shan stamped her feet heavily and said, "Yao Ting...is missing!"
"What did you say, gone? Gone...what does it mean?" Xu Wenchuan couldn't react for a while and asked blankly.
Ning Shan said, "This morning, as soon as I woke up, I went to see Yaoting. But when I opened Yaoting's door, I found... I found that Yaoting was not in bed!"
"Not in bed? Impossible! Yaoting was so seriously injured that he could only live or die in a matter of seconds. He couldn't get out of bed at all! Where could he be if he wasn't in bed?" Xu Wenchuan shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly.
Ning Shan knew that Xu Wenchuan wouldn't believe it, so she said no more and pulled him to Xu Yaoting's room. Looking at the empty room, Xu Wenchuan finally believed it, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Dad, what should I do? Yaoting...where did he go?" Ning Shan asked extremely anxiously.
"Find! Quick! Let people find it, find it!"
Xu Wenchuan gave an order, and the entire Dingshan Palace was immediately thrown into chaos. Many people are confused. Isn't the young master about to die? How could he disappear? Could it be that even people and souls have been seduced by black and white impermanence
Of course, no one dared to ask more questions! At this time, Xu Wenchuan was like a rampaging lion. Whoever asked would die.
"Dad, Yao Ting was injured so badly, how could he disappear? Tell me, Yao Ting... did he suddenly recover..." Ning Shan stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, her face looked a little embarrassed, maybe even... She herself felt that it was a bit whimsical and unrealistic.
Xu Wenchuan shook his head. He also hoped that things would be as Ning Shan said, but he knew that this was almost impossible. No one who has been sentenced to death by a medical sage has ever survived. Xu Wenchuan was worried that Xu Yaoting had been kidnapped.
Xu Wenchuan has made outstanding achievements in these years, but he has also made many enemies. There are many people waiting to see Xu Wenchuan's jokes. It is not ruled out that one of them was so bold that he kidnapped Xu Yaoting and stabbed Xu Wenchuan into his already riddled heart. He couldn't even see his precious grandson for the last time.
If this is really the case, then Xu Wenchuan wouldn't mind starting a bloody storm! This can be seen from Xu Wenchuan's face getting colder.
"Master, young mistress, we have searched almost all over the palace, but we can't find the young master." The housekeeper came over, looking very nervous.
"Not found?" Ning Shan's face turned pale and she staggered a little.
Xu Wenchuan gritted his steel teeth and said in a deep voice, "It seems that someone really kidnapped Yao Ting to see my Xu Wenchuan's jokes!"
"Dad, you... what did you say?" Ning Shan asked with a trembling voice.
Not far from Xu Yaoting's room, there is a large lotus pond. The lotus flowers are in full bloom at this time, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. You can see it through the window of Xu Yaoting's room. Unfortunately, Xu Wenchuan has no interest in admiring it at this time. .
"I was the one who caused trouble for my grandson. If he falls into the hands of my enemies, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his whole body..."
"What... what?" Upon hearing Xu Wenchuan's words, Ning Shan's expression felt as if she was struck by lightning. After a brief shock, Ning Shan let out several shrill cries in succession, "If this is really the case, then... then I I won’t live anymore! My poor Yao Ting, mother will accompany you!”
After shouting, Ning Shan rushed out of the door and rushed towards the lotus pond.
"Shan'er, what are you going to do?" Xu Wenchuan was shocked and quickly jumped up and chased after her.
But when Xu Wenchuan rushed out of Xu Yaoting's room, Ning Shan had already arrived in front of the lotus pond, soared into the air and jumped directly towards the lotus pond without any hesitation. Not to mention that Xu Wenchuan only had the eighth level of Qi. Even if he had the tenth level of Qi, he could only watch helplessly. With just a popping sound, Ning Shan fell into the lotus pond without struggling at all, just letting her body sink like this.
Xu Wenchuan's head was buzzing. Losing his grandson already made him heartbroken. If his daughter-in-law also died, would he be allowed to live
"Don't be stupid, save people, save people!" Xu Wenchuan has experienced countless storms in his life, but at this time, he couldn't help but get confused and roar like crazy.
Under this situation, even Xu Wenchuan was confused, not to mention the servants of the prince's palace. Coupled with Xu Wenchuan's thunderous roar, everyone's ears were buzzing and their brains were in shock. Disobedient. They were running around one by one, seemingly busy rescuing people, but in fact they didn't even know what they were doing.
Seeing Ning Shan's figure sinking little by little, Xu Wenchuan was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood. However, he was a landlubber. He had no martial arts skills, but he couldn't use any strength at all.
At this moment, with a pop, a figure jumped down from the lotus pond like a dragon, swam straight towards Ning Shan and quickly swam over. The moment Ning Shan's head was about to be submerged, he caught it.
"Okay! Okay!" Xu Wenchuan, who was watching from the side, immediately became excited when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help shouting "ok" several times. He grabbed the stunned butler beside him and asked loudly, "What's the name of that servant? He saved my wife, and I will reward him heavily!"
"He... his name is... he is..." The housekeeper hesitated for a long time, unable to even formulate a complete sentence.
Xu Wenchuan was angry and kicked him to the ground, shouting sternly, "You are a waste, you are worse than a servant, why are you a housekeeper? Pack your things now and get out of here!" (To be continued)
