Destiny is ashes

Chapter 269: When the universe is in its right place, I will take charge (13)

Late at night, An Jing was practicing the Emperor's Law.

After these days of meditation and training day and night, the time it takes him to enter the state of Emperor's Law has been reduced from half an hour to about half a quarter.

Although it is still very long, it is enough to allow for introspection whenever you have free time, and its practicality has been greatly increased.

However, An Jing's real idea is to put the Emperor's Law into practical use.

In other words, he had to shorten the time it took to enter the Emperor's Law state to about 'a moment'.

If successful, it would only take a moment for An Jing to enter the state of Emperor's Law, and he could maintain this state of desirelessness and selflessness while fighting with others.

In this way, he can control the flow of spiritual energy in his body with minute precision, attack in the most optimized way that will least harm himself, prolong his battle time, reduce internal friction and injuries, and achieve a state of 'complete control over his own battles'.

Even if he was injured by the enemy's attack, he could suppress the injury in the first place and mobilize his spiritual energy to repair it. The remaining poison gas and hostile energy could also be expelled with the injury sword.

The idea is good, but it obviously requires a long time of training, so An Jing would meditate whenever he has time. Anyway, as long as he enters the state of Emperor's Law, the speed of circulating his internal energy and condensing the magic ban will be greatly improved, so there will be no delay in doing either.

In recent times, through the adjustments of the Emperor's Law, An Jing has completely eliminated all the evil energy that remained in his body during his training in the Tianyuan Realm, and also repaired the internal injuries from continuous fighting some time ago.

Even some of his internal organs and muscles that had not been fully developed during his growth were slowly adjusted to a point that seemed perfect to An Jing.

The most intuitive manifestation is that An Jing's innate physical qualities have improved slightly - this is not the improvement obtained by practicing the forbidden magic technique, but the most basic innate true strength.

Even though it's just a little bit, An Jing's body is only twelve years old now and is still in a period of rapid growth. The little qualities he improves now will be fed back to him many times in the future.

If you add the blessing of the exercises, the amount will be very considerable.

However, as long as a person is still alive and continues to practice the Dharma, the condition within the body will continue to change.

The laws of the Son of Heaven cannot achieve true perfection, but they are constantly moving towards perfection. They are a dynamic balance.

But, as long as you persist in practicing, you will always be able to wait for a perfect moment.

For example, now.

It was at that moment of the night that An Jing suddenly felt that his mind and body had achieved perfect harmony.

That is in no way inferior to the state of 'unity of body and spirit' achieved by the Shenzang Zhenren like Ming Guangchen.

At this moment, the essence and spiritual energy in An Jing's body were surging, like an unstoppable tide, stirring up the endless sea of ​​inner breath, creating one huge whirlpool after another.

And there is such a huge "vortex", located in the center of An Jing's soul.

——It’s time.

It was as if it was a matter of course, a true providence.

Peace and clarity, the time has come!
The sound of the circulation of vital energy was like the sound of a huge bell. An Jing's body shook slightly and he felt that a key point had opened in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness. He was not disturbed by these strange sensations, but continued to maintain the state of Emperor's Law, making his mind clear and peaceful, like a sword that has been sharpened to the extreme, transparent and sharp.

The surging internal energy and Taibai evil spirit rushed towards An Jing's soul. The most difficult task for ordinary martial arts practitioners to 'refine the qi of fate' was actually the easiest for An Jing, who had already completed the qi refining.

For a moment, spiritual energy far more powerful than that of an ordinary warrior in the Inner Strength Realm poured into An Jing's soul, and then under the operation of the Emperor's Law, the sharpness of the golden energy faded, transformed into the most original spiritual inspiration, and merged into the ever-revolving vortex.

Not only that, from the deepest part of An Jing's sea of ​​​​consciousness, where destiny lies, a stream of blood-like flame also gushed out.

This is the 'essence of destiny' that needs to be drawn out when advancing into inner strength in martial arts, the purest Mars Blood Evil.

The evil spirit of Taibai and the blood evil of Yinghuo, the two colors of red and gold, collide with each other, causing the whirlpool and torrent to rotate like the wheel of time.

Thoughts began to speed up.

The huge pressure evenly descended on An Jing's soul and body. If it was an ordinary warrior with a peak internal energy, he would probably not be able to bear this terrible pressure for a breath and then exit this mysterious "heavenly time" state. Only by achieving the cultivation of the Son of Heaven, with a perfect body and a constant and flawless spirit, can one maintain the heavenly time state for as long as possible.

For a moment, countless roads suddenly emerged in An Jing's mind.

Sundials, water clocks, hourglasses, gnomons, gear clocks, oil lamps, clepsydras, pocket watches, pendulum clocks… countless different styles of timekeeping tools emerged in his mind, and these different shapes gave rise to countless forks in the road with different details, as if waiting for him to choose.

An Jing knew that all these roads were in line with the magical image of "Controlling the Time of Heaven", and each different image represented different details of the same magic.

Just like if 10,000 people practice the Fire in the Pupil, there will be 10,000 different details, and the abilities represented by different 'details of time' are also slightly different.

Sundials come from the sun, moonlit nights come from the moon, water clocks come from water, wood carvings come from wood, hourglasses come from earth, oil lamps come from fire, and clocks come from gold...

Although both are about accelerating thinking, the method you choose to use will determine the foundation of An Jing's future martial arts and the form and potential of his magical powers.

What An Jing needs to do is to choose the path he wants to take.

There is no right or wrong on this road. The choice itself is part of destiny. An Jing has a strong premonition that this choice will affect his future path.

What kind of future does he want?
An Jing was not anxious. He calmed himself down and continued to maintain the right state of mind.

Before him, there must have been a Son of Destiny or a genius in the Tianyi Demon Sect who had achieved the state of "Controlling the Time of Heaven".

But even if they have the same extraordinary talent, they cannot maintain the state of time in the inner breath realm for a long time.

Their bodies and souls all have limits, and in the end they may not be able to choose the most suitable divine form for themselves. They can only choose one that is almost acceptable.

But An Jing was different. His physical cultivation was already at a strong level in the Inner Strong Realm, and his spirit and soul were praised by Ming Guangchen, who thought that he might be the reincarnation of an immortal.

As a fellow practitioner of the Great Freedom Heavenly Son Dharma, An Jing had just begun to sweat when others might have reached their limits.

Sitting down and calming down, An Jing continued to deduce, and many different magical forms were sorted out, eliminating the unnecessary and retaining the essential.

——Why is the weather?
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons rotate, which can be called the time.

But... can the mere rotation of the four seasons be called the right time?

Although the Huaixu Realm seems to be a worldview similar to the Hun Tian, ​​it is the realm of the round sky and the square earth, vast and boundless, and its four seasons are definitely more vast than the four seasons of a mere planet in the previous life.

But An Jing also knew that the stars in the sky were not fake.

There are still stars beyond the stars, and there are still worlds beyond the world.

Those are also things that are boundless, vast, magnificent and immense.

Compared to the four seasons on earth that probably only appear in accordance with the 'four seasons' set by the Taoist court in the past, An Jing believes that the real time should be the scale of the world's own operation, which is... the many different worlds that rotate and influence each other, just like the order of the interweaving of stars and the movement of the stars in the sky!
"I command the Seven Evils, I control the Seven Stars... but I am only measuring the four seasons of heaven and earth, which is absolutely not in line with my desires and my heart!"

As he gradually understood what he wanted, the many images that appeared in An Jing's mind began to dissipate, and an image that was complex and precise, and integrated with heaven and earth, emerged in his mind.

【Holding the time and the celestial sphere】

The instrument moves around the globe and records the stars in the sky. Among the many constellations, seven large stars are vaguely moving in the retrograde direction, defying common sense, presenting signs of all sorts of great evil, great disasters and catastrophes.

However, among the seven stars, only one big red star was burning like blood flames, and there was another Taibai star that was faintly shining, while the other five stars were motionless, as if they had not yet woken up.

That's enough.

An Jing opened his eyes, blood flames burning in them, Taibai's sharp edge shining like a star. He had chosen the path forward and would no longer hesitate.

"When the stars and the sky shine, I will take charge!"
