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

Chapter 493 The evil god Lei Yujian and Chengfeng must part eventually!
[In the following days, that faint aura continued to linger in the upper reaches of Qinghe River, waiting patiently like a dormant beast.]

[You are not impatient. Since you cannot escape for the time being, you should calm down and comprehend the two new skills.]

[You have studied "The Three Treasures of Taiyin" many times. Although this heavenly skill that points directly to the great way is only recorded up to the Tianmen chapter, it has already revealed its mystery.

[It's a pity that this method is not meant for you. Guanghan Palace has always accepted more female disciples because this skill was created specifically for those with a natural Yin-attribute constitution.]

[Although you have memorized all the techniques, they are ultimately not suitable for your path.]

[However, this meditation was not entirely fruitless. You learned several methods of casting ice spells, which was a pleasant surprise.]

[Zhuang Xiuyin's situation is similar to yours. She was born in West Kunlun and has a solid foundation. Her heritage is not inferior to Guanghan Palace. This time, she is more about verifying and comparing, and perfecting what she has learned.]

[You then open the "Taiping Yaoshu" with anticipation. This technique, written by the Taoist Taiping himself, dares to be named after the Taoist name, so it must have its unique features.]

[As you study more deeply, your vision becomes brighter and brighter—this is actually a complete and orthodox practice book! ]

【The book is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.】

[The previous chapter focuses on the fundamentals of cultivation, pointing directly to the realm of the Great Dao Golden Elixir. Its method is moderate and peaceful, emphasizing gradual progress, and is the authentic inheritance of the Xuanmen sect.]

[You circulate the Qi around your body according to the method, and suddenly you will feel a bright light rising from your Dantian.]

【The warm spiritual energy slowly flows from the lower abdomen, traveling along the meridians throughout the body, eliminating all the turbid air wherever it passes. When it reaches the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows, it separates into clear light to nourish the primordial spirit, and the whole person feels as if bathed in spring breeze, and the whole body is relaxed.】

[This method does not deliberately pursue the specific cultivation of the five internal organs and five elements, but focuses on the harmony and unity of the human body as a whole. ]

[Although the magic power cultivated is not as sharp and overbearing as some other techniques, it is stronger, longer-lasting, and has a solid foundation. ]

[The middle part is devoted to the practice of thunder magic, emphasizing "internal refining to form the elixir, external feeling of the power of heaven". ]

[The method is based on the interaction between the heart and kidney, and uses the five qi to return to the origin. Only by condensing the innate ancestral qi can one summon thunder. When it is cultivated to perfection, it can condense the "Heavenly Thunder that Punishes Evil and Breaks Demons", and its power is not inferior to the "Yi Mu Divine Thunder" of the Qingwei School. ]

[The most mysterious thing about this method is that it secretly conforms to the way of heaven - the more evil spirits are destroyed, the more powerful the thunder method will be. ]

[It is as if the heavens have granted the power to punish evil to those who practice cultivation through thunder.]

[You murmured, "Heavenly Thunder that kills evil and destroys demons!"]

[You will know by now that this Taoist priest of the Taiping Sect is definitely not a fraud who seeks fame. He is able to leave a great reputation among the nine righteous sects of Yuzhou in the Central Plains. This method must be extremely powerful.]

[The next chapter, surprisingly, is filled with medical skills that can help the world.]

[It records in detail the two magics of "Dan Zi Swallowing Books" and "Fu Shui Exorcism", and also covers all kinds of Taoist rituals: from exorcism to weddings and funerals, from choosing auspicious days to fasting and offering rituals, everything is passed down.]

[The length of this chapter on medicine, divination and astrology is more than half the total of the previous two chapters.]

[You couldn't help but smile. Could it be that after disappearing from the world of cultivation, this Taoist priest of Taiping really went into hiding in the market and became a Taoist priest who presided over weddings and funerals? ]

[Zhuang Xiu's eyes sparkled with a strange light: "This Taoist Taiping's 'Heavenly Thunder to Punish Evil and Defeat Demons' is truly mysterious, but it is not easy to practice."]

[She tapped the scripture with her fingertips, "To enter the door, one needs to be at the Daotai realm, and one must also form an external elixir in the dantian to receive the heavenly thunder. This method is truly unheard of."]

[She continued thoughtfully: "The most difficult part is that one must sense the divine thunder of the sky in the dark and use it to summon thunder. When practicing, one must maintain the heart of heaven and eliminate human desires."]

[He shook his head and said, "Such harsh conditions..."]

[Zhuang Xiuyin was born in West Kunlun and practiced both "instrument" and "method", so naturally he had come into contact with thunder magic.]

[Among all the magics, thunder magic is the most respected and the most powerful. Among all the thunders, "Dutian Divine Thunder" is superior to the five elements of thunder magic. Legend has it that it is the supreme divine thunder that appears when the heaven destroys the world. It is the thunder of heaven's punishment. ]

[“This is a thunder method that no one has ever mastered. It only exists in ancient books and legends, and it is called the Thunder of the God of Heaven. It is doubtful whether it exists, let alone how can we sense it?”]

[Zhuang Xiuyin frowned and whispered, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "This Taoist Taiping's 'Heavenly Thunder to Punish Evil and Break Demons', could it be fabricated?"]

[But the outrageously detailed methods of induction in the scriptures cannot be fake - from the selection of the time of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, to the specific routes of the circulation of the meridians, and even the detailed record of the tingling sensation in the meridians when the thunder energy enters the body, it can't be fooling future generations, right? ]

【Zhuang Xiuyin tried several times according to the method, but only captured a piece of nothingness.】

【She turned her head and saw that you were already in deep meditation with your five hearts facing the sky.】

[She couldn't help biting her lower lip - as a rare prodigy in West Kunlun, who was promoted to Daotai at the age of fourteen, she was actually surpassed by you at this moment.]

[With his stubborn character, he immediately assumed the Heaven-supporting Pose and immersed himself in cultivation. ]

【Twenty-six days after Hanba's death.】

[In the secret room inside the broken statue, there were only two faint breathing sounds.]

【You have been concentrating on it, without any distractions. 】

【Zhuang Xiuyin was different. He could still calm down at first, but as time went by, he became impatient.】

[She didn't dare to practice, or else her spiritual energy would leak out and attract a powerful enemy.]

[Zhuang Xiuyin sighed softly. The Heavenly Power of West Kunlun is far more sophisticated than the first part of the "Taiping Yaoshu". The medical skills and spells for mortals recorded in the second part are of no value to the direct descendants of Kunlun.]

[The only thing she was interested in was the mysterious thunder method - but she had no idea how to sense the "Dutian Divine Thunder" in the first level.]

[In the dim secret room, she stared at you in meditation. With the night vision of a monk, she could clearly see the bright light flowing between your eyebrows.]

[After the Dao fetus, the monks can already practice fasting for half a year. ]

[You haven't eaten or drunk anything for 39 days, but your breathing remains long and steady, as if you have reached some mysterious resonance with this world.]

[She couldn't help but think of the corpse of Hanba that was smashed to pieces by Gangsha. Only then did she truly understand that being able to kill such a fierce creature depends not only on luck, but also on this almost terrifying determination.]

[At dawn on the third day, you all simultaneously sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from outside the temple.]

[Several monks were investigating the place where Hanba fell in doubt and left in a hurry.]

[Five more days passed.]

[You opened your eyes, and a flash of lightning flashed across your pupils.]

[It is speculated that the great monk behind the drought demon could not have stayed here for such a long time. ]

[This person is definitely a person of high position and power in Fangcun Mountain. It is impossible for him to waste time here. ]

[After discussing it, the two of you decided to leave the secret room. ]

[You carefully push open the stone door of the secret room, and the long-lost sunlight shines through the dilapidated temple roof.]

[After confirming that there was no one around, they immediately transformed into two streams of light and flew northwards, not until they flew over 300 miles before they pressed the escape light in a lush green valley.]

[The warm sun shines through the leaves of the forest, Zhuang Xiuyin takes a deep breath of the fresh air of the plants, his eyes filled with joy of surviving a catastrophe.]

[When she turned her head to look at you, a pure smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Friend Jing, you have survived this great disaster, and you will surely have good fortune in the future."]

[You counted on your fingers and found that the White Dew Day on the seventh day of September is approaching, and there are only two days left before Mr. Yuan Danqiu leaves the Zhou family.]

【Thinking of this, you prepare to say goodbye and leave. 】

[The girl obviously didn't expect you to be so straightforward, and was slightly startled. In the past, those brothers from the righteous path always found excuses to go with her, but they were not like you who could just leave as soon as you said so.]

【Then I thought about how you are just a child, and I felt relieved. 】

[Zhuang Xiuyin said, "Fellow Daoist Jing, if you encounter any trouble in the future, please send someone to send a message to West Kunlun."]

[“I have been saved twice. No matter how far apart we are, Zhuang Xiuyin will go through fire and water for you.”]

[You just smiled when you heard that, "Thank you, Brother Zhuang."] [Zhuang Xiuyin saw that you looked calm and didn't seem to care. He suddenly remembered the month-long retreat and couldn't help asking, "Did Brother Jing really sense the Dutian Divine Thunder recorded in the "Taiping Yaoshu"?]

[You nodded slightly.]

【Zhuang Xiuyin frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it.】

[You saw her intention, but did not explain. Suddenly, green smoke rose from under your feet, and in an instant it condensed into a three-foot green sword.]

[Just as he was about to step on his sword and rise, he suddenly sensed a strange rustling sound coming from the forest——]

[In a cave twenty feet away, a giant monster with a human face and a spider body is breaking out of the ground. ]

[Its eight compound eyes glowed dimly, and in front of it, there were seven or eight mortals wrapped in white cocoons hanging on the spider web, already barely breathing.]

[The monster senses your presence and immediately spurts out poisonous silk that covers the sky and the sun! ]

[Zhuang Xiuyin's Star Sword Formation instantly unfolds, and Qingxi shines with brilliant light, preparing to attack.]

【at this time!】

[A bright bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clear sky, its light as dazzling as a rainbow piercing the sun, and its sound as deafening as the roar of a heavenly drum.]

[The spider demon didn't even have time to scream before it turned into ashes in the lightning, and even half of the rock was split in two.]

[The spider demon at the Daotai realm died instantly. ]

[Zhuang Xiuyin froze in place, with a blank look on his face.]

[She looked at the lightning that had not yet dissipated, and her pupils reflected the charred rift where the spider demon was annihilated - this was clearly the "Heavenly Thunder that Punishes Evil and Destroys Demons" with great power.]

[She turned her head suddenly, and saw a spiritual light appearing between your eyebrows, which was exactly the "external elixir hanging in the light" recorded in the Taiping Essential Technique, using elixir to resist thunder.]

[This discovery made her breath pause - in just over a month, you have really cultivated this thunder method to such a level.]

[A breeze gradually picks up, a sword light rises, and a familiar voice is heard. ]

【“Fellow Daoist Zhuang, goodbye!”】

[The sword light rolled up, blowing the mountains and forests, rising straight into the sky like a white rainbow piercing the sun, and then turned eastward. ]

[A long and joyful chant echoes through the valley: "I ride the wind on my sword—"]

[Zhuang Xiuyin looked up at the sword light that pierced the sky, and heard the second half of the sentence from afar: "—— Eliminate demons between heaven and earth!"]

[The lingering sound shook the pine trees all over the mountain, as if echoing the carefree and unrestrained spirit of the sword.]

[Zhuang Xiuyin was startled, and suddenly remembered what his master had said: "Some people are born to shock the world."]

[“Friend Jing Dao is such a person.”]

[She murmured, "I will ride on the wind with my sword to eliminate the demons between heaven and earth."]

[“This fellow Daoist Jing is still young, but he has such a charming demeanor and handsome features. When he grows up, I wonder how many fairies will be fascinated by him.”]

[At this moment, you are riding on a sword through the clouds. If you encounter a troublesome monster along the way, you can strike it with a flash of lightning. ]

[As recorded in the "Taiping Yaoshu", the power of this "Thunderbolt to Punish Evil and Break Demons" increases with each punishment of an evildoer, "acting on behalf of Heaven, the power of the thunderbolt increases naturally."]

[Looking down at the land, the dry Qing River has begun to flow again, and disaster victims are gradually returning home on both sides. New green has emerged from the scorched earth, and a few naughty children are playing in the shallows - who would have thought that a few months ago this was a dead area with thousands of miles of barren land? ]

【You feel a little more warm in your heart. 】

~

September 7th is the White Dew season.

Gyeongwonjeong Pavilion, Suburbs of Cheongha County
The morning mist is thick, covering the lush green mountains and forests like a veil.

In the farewell pavilion with green tiles and flying eaves, two figures stood facing each other.

"What a pity, Danqiu, you didn't get to see Jing'er before you left."

The person who spoke was a tall and vigorous old man, Zhou Tai, the head of the Zhou family.

He looked at the middle-aged scholar in blue robe in front of him, with a hint of melancholy between his brows.

Yuan Danqiu straightened his sleeves and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Zhou, after accompanying you for a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. I have accompanied you for six hundred miles, which is a great gesture of friendship and affection. Please stay here."

Zhou Tai stroked his beard and sighed: "Brother Yuan, why don't you stay a few more days? Or let Jing'er break through the pass and see him? The journey is long and the mountains are far, I'm afraid."

"The horizon is vast, like duckweed blown by the wind; the drift of this world is like the calamity of half a lifetime stained by ashes."

Yuan Danqiu looked at the misty mountains in the distance, and said in a voice as light as morning dew, "Since we know the pain of separation, not seeing each other is actually a blessing."

"Jing'er is at the critical moment of breaking through. If I disturb his practice by seeing him off, wouldn't it be a sin for me as a teacher?"

Outside the pavilion, a willow leaf swirled and fell on the stone steps, covered with dew and unable to fly away.

"Brother Zhou, let's say goodbye now!"

Yuan Danqiu bowed and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a clear call from afar -

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Before he finished his words, a sword light broke through the air, like a startled rainbow, and arrived in front of the pavilion in an instant.

Zhou Tai showed surprise - when did Jing'er master such a sophisticated escape technique?

The sword light faded, and a small figure appeared in the pavilion.

He was a child of about four years old, born with extraordinary intelligence: his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his bones were unique, and he was wearing a feathered robe that fluttered in the wind, and his sleeves were flowing like a fairy.

Especially those eyes, as clear as autumn water, full of spirit, and there was a faint divine light flowing in his gaze.

Yuan Danqiu smiled happily, "Jing'er, you're here."

The child held a brocade box in both hands and handed it forward with a clear voice.

"Master, you are going on a long journey, so I have prepared a small gift for you."

Zhou Tai also looked curious.

Yuan Danqiu took the box with a smile, and when the brocade box was opened, wisps of murderous aura suddenly overflowed.

There was a head in the box. Although the blood had cleared off, some of it was still recognizable.

He sensed it carefully and finally guessed what it was.

He looked shocked at first, and then burst into laughter.

"It comforts me to have such a disciple!"

Dan Qiusheng squatted down and patted the child on the shoulder, looking at him at eye level, and said proudly, "Jing'er, if you have the ability."

"Then all the injustice in the world will be wiped out!"

Zhou Jing nodded heavily.
