Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 303 Lu Chen has ascended to heaven, using the two skills of Crouching Bear and Bird of Prey!
[Lu Hua stared at the young man in the courtyard. The young man quietly raised his head and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the blue sky.]

[The bright moon is only half full, but its light makes the courtyard even colder, adding a bit of chill. ]

[It also highlights the boy's extraordinary temperament. 】

【Lu Hua suddenly had an idea in his mind, and recalled the saying of "the destiny star descending into the world" in the Three True Sect.】

[Every time a destiny star descends, there will be a great catastrophe. The sky will be filled with murderous intent, and the stars will move and change their positions. The earth will be filled with murderous intent, and dragons and snakes will rise from the land.]

[In the past, the founder of the Three True Sect, Lu Chen, was the one who was born by the destiny star. In his life, the world was united, the gates of heaven opened, and the founder was able to ascend to heaven.]

[There emerged the Magician, the Empress, Lu Yu and other people of extraordinary talent. 】

[According to the deduction of the Three True Ancestors, the Purple Star has already completed one cycle, a full three thousand years.]

[Now, a new star of destiny is about to descend, and the gate of heaven will open again. ]

[This life will be another opportunity for ascension. ]

[The Sanzhen Sect inherited the legacy of the founder Lu Chen and Lu Yu, and has been prosperous for three thousand years, through the succession of several dynasties.]

[This calamity has arrived, and all the teachers have begun to travel around the world again, recruiting disciples. ]

[It was because of this that Lu Hua joined the Three True Sect.]

[In this world, the only academy that can compete with the academy is the Three True Ones School in Zhongnan Mountain. ]

[Thousands of years ago, the Master suddenly appeared in the world and dominated the world. The three true generations of predecessors mistakenly believed that the Master was the one destined by heaven and the one born by the destiny star.]

[Therefore, several ancestors broke through the barriers and came out to help the first generation Master with all their strength, but the Master was not the "heavenly" choice after all.]

[After the death of the first generation master, the Three True One Sect once again disappeared from the world for a thousand years, until four hundred years ago, when the Zhongtong Patriarch saw through the secrets and bet on the Sui Dynasty.]

[What kind of foundation does a sect that has prospered for three thousand years have? It fully supported the Sui Dynasty and finally made it rise in the western land of the world. ]

[I don’t know how many Three True Masters tried hard to ascend to heaven but failed, and died with regrets and unable to close their eyes.]

【Three thousand years have passed, and now it is Lu Hua's generation.】

[In the past, Patriarch Lu Chen died of old age in the mountains. After several generations of patriarchs deduced, it was discovered that Patriarch Lu Chen also transcended the mortal world and ascended to heaven in another way.]

[On the second day after Master Lu Chen passed away, his "remains" unexpectedly rejuvenated and returned to youth. ]

[On the morning of the third day, the remains rose up into the sky, alarming Mount Zhongnan.]

[Even more bizarrely, the Grandmaster Liu Jinchan, who was guarding the "remains" for Grandmaster Lu Chen that day, then went into seclusion and refused to come out. A year later, when the disciples of the Living Dead Tomb in Zhongnan Mountain opened their seclusion, they found that the remains of Grandmaster Liu Jinchan had disappeared.]

[Only one word remains, engraved on the stone wall! ]

[“When the younger generation of disciples ascend to heaven, they should report to the Three True Ones, and the celestial beings will bow their heads to welcome them.”]

[This is the most secret matter of the Three True One Sect, and Lu Hua only knew about it after he became a Heavenly Master and was granted the ordination.]

[The real secret of oral transmission is only known by the ancestors from generation to generation. ]

[One sentence "Three True Gates"! ]

[To make the disciples of the Three True Sect “transcend this world” became their lifelong pursuit. Lu Hua’s master was unwilling to leave even until his death. He shed two lines of tears and said to Lu Hua.]

[“I am just a person without any talent. I have never had the chance to meet the true faces of the ancestors in my life.”]

[“Lu Hua, your master is the same as me. You are the only hope of our generation. If you are lucky enough to meet the master, please pass on a message for us.”]

[“I have never been ashamed of the Three Truths in my life, except for my ancestor.”]

[When the master passed away, Lu Hua was still confused and did not understand the inheritance of this lineage. ]

[Until her cultivation surpassed her master, and she passed the three levels of the Heavenly Master, and officially became a disciple, and took over the position of Heavenly Master from her gray-haired master.]

[She finally understood the significance of the word "ascension" to the Three True One Lineage.]

[This is the legacy of the fifty-seven generations of ancestors since Founder Lu Chen.]

[Success may not depend on me, but I must be part of it. 】

[Lu Hua's visit to Bianjing this time was actually a test by Sanzhen on the academy and even the Master.]

【Where is the Master? 】

[It is said that he has been searching for immortals in the East China Sea for more than two hundred years, but the master who is good at deduction in the Three True Sect asserts that the Master is actually hiding in Bian Jing.]

[Master, as the most magnificent luck in the world, wherever he is, the luck of heaven and earth will gather. Under the Taoist technique of observing the luck, Master is like a bright lamp, illuminating the world, but Master is hidden, and it is difficult for the world to detect. ]

[This is also the conclusion that Master Tianmai reached after exhausting his lifespan in deduction, "Master, he is definitely in Bianjing."]

[However, what is puzzling is that even though the Master was in Bian Jing, why did the academy fall apart? ]

[Mr. 1 joins the Sui Dynasty, Mr. 2 falls seriously ill, and Mr. 3 and Mr. 4 become enemies.]

[Lu Hua sighed softly. When this catastrophe happened, the heavens were in chaos and demons were dancing wildly.]

[In this banquet, not only the Academy was present, but also the important officials of the court and the government of Da Qi, the demons of Zehu, and the governors of the Thirteen Continents. ]

[There is also the Demon Sect that has been silent for a thousand years in the martial arts world. They are also ready to make a move. ]

[Behind the previous Tang Dynasty was the lineage of the magic master Huang Dao, but later they were suppressed by the Academy and the Three True Ones. The nine lines of the magic sect have withered to only three, dormant in various parts of the world. ]

[Now, the current magician Xu Jiangxian of the Demon Sect must have quietly sneaked into Bianjing.]

[The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop! ]

【Heavy white snow fell from the sky.】

[Snowflakes are flying in the courtyard but they don’t fall to the ground.]

[A snowflake gently hit Lu Hua's hand, and she came back to her senses.]

【at this time!】

[Lu Hua looked over and saw a clear air surrounding the young man under the sycamore tree, like a spiral whirlwind slowly rising, attracting and engulfing the wind and snow in the courtyard.]

[The young man smiled and stretched out his slender white fingers, and the wind and snow came. ]

[“The spirit is restrained, not showing any supernatural powers, and can drive away external things.”]

【Lu Hua nodded slowly. Xie Guan surpassed three realms in one day for the first time while practicing the Yin Fu Jing, which was beyond her expectation.】

[The seven techniques in the Yin Fu Jing refer to nourishing the will, strengthening the spirit, the snake, dividing the power, eating the corpse, turning the circle, and damaging the exchange.]

[The seven arts are also seven realms, corresponding to the first seven realms of the Yuanshen cultivator.]

[Now, Xie Guan has mastered the first six techniques, but the last technique "Sun Dui" has not yet been learned.]

[However, considering his amazing talent of reaching the "Kai Xing" realm in just two months, it is only a matter of time before he learns the seventh technique.]

[Lu Hua stared at you, and saw the snowflakes around you slowly gathering together, gradually transforming into a picture in your hand - a big bear lying on the ground, ready to attack, with a fierce light in its eyes.]

[“The crouching bear shares its power!”]

[Lu Hua recognized that this was the fourth of the seven arts, the Diagram of the Subduing Bear, which represented the Taoism's earth art that controlled the five elements.]

[You tap lightly, and the soil in the yard seems to come to life, slowly rising and moving, shuttling through the ground like a dragon, and finally coming to your feet, gently lifting you up.]

[Being able to draw this painting of the crouching bear's power means that you have reached the fourth level of Yuan Shen cultivation - Night Travel.]

[Nightwalkers can absorb the spiritual energy of the moonlight and nourish themselves. This is an extremely important state in the cultivation of the primordial spirit.] [However, this state has extremely high requirements for talent, and those without talent can only be rejected.]

[Unlike martial arts training, martial arts can rely on hard work, or swallowing powerful medicine from a young age to improve strength. ]

[But when it comes to soul cultivation, the word talent is like an invisible threshold that keeps many people out.]

[Some people, even if they have read Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures for sixty or seventy years, can only stay at the level of the three minor realms and cannot go any further.]

[The upper three realms of martial arts are undoubtedly insurmountable mountains for ordinary warriors. They are like huge barriers that stand in front of them, making countless warriors retreat. ]

[However, for a Soul Cultivator, starting from the third realm, every step seems to be crossing a huge chasm.]

[The realm of night travel is the foundation of the Yuanshen cultivators. Once you enter this realm, the speed of cultivation will be greatly accelerated, and you will no longer need to rely on rest at night, and you can be nourished by the moonlight. ]

[However, if you practice under the moonlight for a long time, it is easy for your soul to be over-nourished and suffer the consequences.]

[This is also the origin of the legend of foxes worshipping the moon. After gaining some intelligence, many fox spirits will worship the moon, eager to absorb the pure moon energy.]

[To enter the realm of night travel, if you are lucky enough to encounter the "Gengshen Night", the moonlight on July 15th that occurs once every sixty years is also called "Emperor Liujiang". ]

[For a Yuanshen cultivator, one night of practice is equivalent to absorbing the pure essence of the moon. ]

[The Emperor's fluid, in the shape of thousands of golden threads, flows down through the moonlight.]

【In folklore, plants and trees on earth that are exposed to the "Emperor's Flowing Juice" can become monsters, and foxes and ghosts can display supernatural powers by eating it. Plants and trees have sex but no life, while the flowing juice has sex, which can replenish life; foxes and ghosts have life, so eating it is very beneficial.】

[Although it is not as bizarre as folk legends, if a night wandering monk encounters the Emperor's Flowing Slurry, there are many who can directly break through the "night wandering" realm and reach the "driving object" realm.]

[A monk is no more than one who absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon.]

[The sun is the most rigid and yang, and monks cannot use it.]

[The moon is hidden during the day and stays at night.]

[One yin and one yang, a cultivator can absorb the moon essence and cultivate the Yin spirit by taking part in the night tour. ]

[When the Yin spirit leaves the body, it is afraid of strong winds, morning light, frost and snow, and cockcrows. Once it encounters them, it is like ice and snow seeing the sun.]

[Lu Hua quietly watched the young man, and saw that when he waved his hand, the raised earth and rocks on the ground slowly sank and leveled out.]

[The snowflakes that had gathered to form the "Crouching Bear Diagram" were also broken up, turning into a whirlwind that danced around him.]

[Under the moonlight, your whole body glows with a white light, and silky rays of moonlight flow into your body from the "Heavenly Gate" on your forehead.]

[The young man slowly closed his eyes, and a faint light was revealed under his eyelids.]

[This process is called "refining the moonlight"]

[Your forehead becomes brighter and brighter, and you slowly open your eyes.]

[A pair of eyes with clear black and white, full of spirit, are revealed. ]

[He pointed lightly, and the wind and snow seemed to be summoned, circling around his fingertips and dancing according to your wishes.]

[A picture made of snowflakes takes shape! ]

[A picture of a bird of prey.]

[The bird of prey was pitch black with sharp eyes, and was obviously a ferocious carnivorous bird.]

[It has no hair on its head, feeds on carrion, and often builds its nest in deep valleys.]

[“The fifth Yin Fu technique, the bird of prey corpse-eating talisman.”]

[Lu Hua recited softly, with a hint of awe in his tone. This "Yin Fu Jing" was written by a brilliant predecessor. Although he was not born in the orthodox Taoist school, he was able to participate in the creation of nature and reached the highest level of the Yuan Shen realm. In his time, even several Taoist disciples of the same generation in the Three True Sect were trampled under his feet.]

[However, this "Yin Fu Jing" was not widely spread in the Three True Sect, and was even classified as a forbidden technique, and disciples were strictly prohibited from practicing it.]

[The root of all this lies in the fifth technique - the bird of prey corpse-eating talisman.]

[The first four techniques of the Yin Fu Jing, "calming the mind", "seeking luck", "controlling water" and "controlling soil", correspond to four kinds of divine objects respectively.]

[“Spiritual Turtle”, “Five Dragons”, “Teng Snake”, “Crouching Bear”. ]

[These four techniques are upright and even amazing. In the first four realms of Yuanshen cultivators, they were almost crushed by warriors of the same realm. Such a creation gave Yuanshen cultivators the means to attack, which undoubtedly opened up a new path for Yuanshen cultivators.]

【However! 】

[This fifth technique is completely different from the previous four techniques. It is full of gloom and weirdness. ]

[Birds of prey eating corpses is a cruel and brutal phenomenon in nature, and this fifth technique takes this phenomenon to the extreme.]

[It is to obtain the "essence" from dead things or from killing living things to strengthen the soul. 】

【Thinking of killing is considered evil in Taoism. 】

[Does not rely on the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate, but "plunders" the essence of others. 】

[This is exactly the reason why the senior who created the Yin Fu Jing, despite his mediocre talent, was able to surpass several of his fellow disciples in cultivation in a short period of time.]

[The karma involved in his life included the lives of countless living beings and even the lives of wild beasts in the mountains.]

【certainly,】

[This almost demonic cultivation method also has its drawbacks: the more Taoism you plunder, the more essence you devour, and although your soul becomes stronger, it becomes more turbid, unclear, and your mind becomes unclear.]

[Otherwise, that senior would not have been deceived by his master's disciples because of his momentary confusion and tried to devour the master's soul in order to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.]

[As a result, he did "ascend".]

[Lu Hua suddenly thought, if this technique fell into the hands of someone with extraordinary talent like Xie Guan, who knows what kind of disaster would result.]

[Lu Hua shook her head. This matter can only be discussed later. When she taught Xie Guan the Yin Fu Jing, in addition to observing Xie Guan, she also had a mysterious feeling.]

[For monks like them, the feeling of blessing from the soul is extremely important. ]

[Perhaps, with this technique in your hands, you might be able to find another way.]

[Weapons are ominous tools. They can kill or save lives. It depends on the person.]

[Arts are neither good nor evil; it all depends on the person.]

【When Lu Hua thought about it this way, he felt relieved from all worries, and his mind was clear and bright.】

[You look at the picture of the bird of prey in the sky, wave your hand, and the snowflakes slowly disperse and turn into flying snowflakes]

[There is a thoughtful look in your eyes.]

[Is it a technique to steal someone's spiritual power? ]

[Birds of prey feed on the carrion of corpses. This technique is also a technique for killing people. People have a primordial spirit, which is a combination of three souls and six spirits.]

[When a person dies, his soul will disperse from his body. If he has no destination, his soul will be scattered.]

[You only need to draw this talisman before your soul flies away, and use the "bird of prey" to swallow its spirit essence, and you can strengthen your own spirit. ]

[You recite slowly: "Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and that is all. Therefore, there are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them will prosper. The five thieves are in the heart, and they are manifested in heaven."]

[This is the opening statement of the Yin Fu Jing.]
