Xu Chunniang hid this doubt in her heart and continued reading.
"Taishang is the highest of all. The free and unrestrained one holds the righteousness of heaven and earth, controls the six qi, and has nothing to rely on to roam the infinite..."
She could barely understand the first two sentences, but the more she read on, the more obscure and difficult it became.
As for the specific practice methods, there is only the chapter on drawing Qi into the body.
Even the characters of the Qi training period were covered by a layer of mist and could not be seen.
However, drawing qi into the body was a very distant past for her.
This method of drawing Qi into the body is of no use to her at the moment. What she needs is the skills after the Jindan stage.
Xu Chunniang patiently skipped over many characters obscured by water mist and continued to read.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw four clear golden characters again.
Nine steps of freedom.
The name seems to refer to some kind of footwork.
Except for these four characters, the rest of the content was also obscured by the mist and could not be seen clearly.
However, now that the inherited martial arts technique has been obtained, there is no need to rush to explore the secrets contained therein.
Xu Chunniang's mood gradually calmed down. With the inherited martial arts skills in hand, why was she still afraid of having no way to practice
She shifted her attention away from the golden characters in her mind and began to look at the scene around her.
The place where she was now was not the enclosed area connected to the wild forest, but... a remote palace!
Xu Chunniang was slightly stunned. After looking around, she finally confirmed that she had left the inheritance trial.
And the current location should be somewhere in the ruins of the Immortal Palace.
Just as this thought arose in her mind, she suddenly felt a repulsive force coming from all directions.
The opening of the Immortal Palace ruins has been a full year, but if one obtains the inheritance in advance, one will be rejected by this world and leave early.
When Xu Chunniang thought of this, she did not resist this force and let it fall on her.
The next moment, the world changed suddenly and her figure disappeared from the spot.
When I regained consciousness, I was surrounded by the vast ocean.
After looking around, Xu Chunniang steadied her body in mid-air, took out the sea order and took a look at it.
She originally had no hope and believed that she was lost in the vast ocean again.
However, the sea travel order showed that her current location was not too far from the ruins of the Immortal Palace, and it was even possible that she had not left the scope of Fenglin Island.
Xu Chunniang put away the sea order and thought silently.
Now that we have inherited the legacy, it doesn’t really matter where we are. The most important thing is to find the correct way to use the legacy.
Perhaps, she should find a secluded place to retreat and concentrate on her research.
And this vast sea area is actually the perfect choice.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something, so she simply took out the shuttle and drove it away from the fairy palace ruins.
We flew for more than ten days, and there was nothing else along the way except three or two uninhabited islands.
On this day, Xu Chunniang sat on the flying shuttle with her eyes closed, her spiritual awareness focused, paying close attention to the movements around her.
Suddenly her expression changed and she opened her eyes and looked towards a small island not far ahead.
Compared to the several deserted islands we encountered before, the small island in front of us looks much larger.
It is covered with lush vegetation and home to some monsters in the foundation-building stage. The spiritual energy on the island is also more abundant.
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is it."
She jumped off the shuttle, then folded it up and landed on the island which looked quite lively.
After confirming that there were no traces of monks on the island, Xu Chunniang chose a place for retreat and began to work with a knife and an axe.
In less than half a day, a cave of a certain size was opened up.
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, took out a formation plate from her storage ring, and began to set up the formation.
She originally had three formation plates, namely the Five Elements Trapping Formation, the Five Elements Defense Formation and the Taiyin Dragon Devouring Formation.
When they passed through the wild forest during the inheritance trial, the Five Elements Defense Array and the Taiyin Dragon Devouring Array were severely damaged, to the point where they were almost unusable.
Only the Five Elements Trap Formation was slightly less damaged and could still be used.
But on this island, the strongest monster is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even if the Five Elements Formation was damaged, it was more than enough to block them.
After completing the arrangement of the Five Elements Trap Formation, Xu Chunniang stepped into the cave and set up a spirit gathering formation inside.
After everything was ready, she thought for a moment and entered the small world.
In the small world, Xiaobai was practicing, while Xiaojuzi was still sleeping beside him.
After confirming with Xiaobai that Xiaojuzi had been sleeping for days, Xu Chunniang simply picked up the two beasts, one in each hand, and led them out of the small world.
For one thing, with the third-level spirit gathering formation and the spirit stones she prepared, the spiritual energy in the cave would soon surpass that of the small world.
Secondly, keeping Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi with her makes it convenient for Xu Chunniang to check on Xiaojuzi's situation at any time.
After settling the two beasts down and informing Xiaobai of the crisis on the island, she entered the training room and began to meditate.
Not long after, those golden characters appeared in her mind again.
The big words at the top are still: Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra.
Apart from the brief beginning and a short section on the technique of drawing qi into the body, as well as the four large characters "Nine Steps of Freedom" below, none of the remaining characters could be seen clearly.
Xu Chunniang carefully read the method of drawing qi into the body and tried to practice it.
However, she had already reached the Golden Core Stage, and this method of drawing Qi into the body was completely ineffective for her.
After trying several times without success, Xu Chunniang had to give up the plan.
It seems that unless she disperses her energy and starts over, she won't be able to practice this inheritance even if she obtains it.
However, it takes time to disperse your energy and start over again.
From drawing Qi into the body and refining Qi, to building the foundation and forming the elixir, and even the thirty-nine thunder tribulations, all have to be experienced again, which will take at least several decades.
But if she didn't practice cultivation, Xu Chunniang would face the dilemma of having no skills, and it would be very likely that she would stop at the early stage of Jindan forever.
She took a deep breath, a hint of determination appeared in her eyes, and she finally made a decision.
Simply dispersing her energy and starting over would mean that she would be in a weak state for the next few decades, so she had to be fully prepared.
Xu Chunniang stepped out of the cave, took out materials from her ring, and began to rearrange the formation.
A broken five-element trap formation can certainly protect against cultivators below the Jindan stage.
But what if you meet a cultivator in the Jindan stage
The probability of this happening is very small, but Xu Chunniang has to be on guard.
Before she disperses her energy and starts over again, she will use all the materials at hand to make the cave as stable as possible.
At the same time, in order to facilitate her to control the formation freely after she has dissipated her power and then start over, she needs to refine a batch of formation flags.
After the cultivation is dissipated, the formation can be better controlled by using the formation flags.
After spending two months getting everything ready, Xu Chunniang began to practice.
She sat cross-legged in the cave, and after adjusting herself to the best condition, she saw that the golden elixir in her dantian showed signs of disintegration.
