Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 78 Three Years
As Xu Heng's practice deepened, he completely forgot himself and entered the realm of "leaving form and knowledge" as described in Taoist books.

In this state, ordinary perceptions no longer exist, the outside world seems to have turned into nothingness, and only the "spirit" remains. Therefore, whether practicing, circulating qi, expelling the old and taking in the new, or realizing the truth, understanding the Dharma... all are running naturally.

Until one day, Xu Heng suddenly felt a shock, as if he had released himself from the shackles that had bound him for so long, and his body seemed to float, as if it was about to rise.

He woke up at this moment and felt extremely comfortable and relaxed all over his body...

Xu Heng knew that everything he had lost had been recovered, and he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

This kind of joy is not for the perfection of the immortal fetus and Taoist bones, but only for the four words "return to the original nature", nothing more.

"Huh..." Xu Heng wanted to adjust his breathing to calm the thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect that a breath of Qi rolled up and down, as if it contained rumbling thunder.

"What is this?" Xu Heng's eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly he exhaled a breath, and there was a loud bang like a fire bursting out of thin air, which went straight out for several feet, shaking the ice wall in front of him slightly. With a slight inhalation, the wind blew back, whistling in the air, gathering cold air like fog, and rushing towards his mouth and nose.

"Dragon Power Grass?" Xu Heng retracted his breath and looked at his hands. He could feel that this tremendous power was only the most basic change.

His five senses also became more acute. He could see the tiniest dust, hear the flow of cold air, the condensation of ice, and even directly feel the existence of spiritual energy. There was also a mysterious energy surging in his body, ready to burst out -

He felt that with the help of this energy, he could control the flow of cold air, condense ice and frost, and even call the wind and snow.

Xu Heng knew that this was not an illusion, but... a magical power.

Unfortunately, perhaps because this Dragon Power Grass was born from the energy of the cold dragon, the magical power it brought was also of icy nature, which seemed to be somewhat different from his Taoism.

If one wants to display magical powers, unless one is willing to consume the original source, one still cannot do without the use of magic power. However, the pure yang magic power cultivated in "Shangying Zhenyang Baolu" is based on yang, so it is natural for one to use fire magic with ease. However, it may not be very effective when used on this magical power.

"Forget it." Xu Heng thought to himself, getting it is fate, maybe it will come in handy someday, and... maybe with this magical power, he can open the door for turning yang into yin.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Xu Heng raised his hand and took a look. Seeing that the talisman was still shining brightly, he knew that he could still stay in this icy world, but he was eager to return to the outside world.

From the moment he woke up, he had a feeling of emptiness and hunger. Xu Heng knew that this was an illusion caused by the fact that his cultivation had improved greatly but he had not received enough replenishment.

It is not difficult to imagine that as long as he starts to combine yin and yang, his magic power will usher in another rapid progress, and even reach perfection in a very short time.

"Let's go." Xu Heng no longer hesitated and immersed his mind in the talisman. This time he was mentally prepared, but he was still unaware of the process of entering and leaving Bingjitian. In a blink of an eye, he had returned to the quiet room in his cave.

Everything in the cave was normal, except that the incense sticks that were lit before entering the cave had been extinguished for who knows how long.

Xu Heng walked around casually, but did not find any trace of the little thing. He did not care much about it and went out of the cave. When he came to the door, he saw several pieces of letter floating in the restriction.

He read them one by one. Two of them were from Hua Feihua, both inviting him to attend the Dharma Assembly. There was also one from Qian Yu, who seemed to have encountered some troubles when he left the mountain that time. He wanted to get some help from his fellow disciples, so he thought of Xu Heng.

It is unknown when these were left. For Xu Heng, he is not opposed to participating in Dharma assemblies, or helping fellow disciples. These are things that can be done or not. However, since it has been missed, it is over.

Finally, there was a letter from the senior sister who had gifted him the Yin Hua Dan medicinal materials. It said that the Frost Ganoderma she cultivated had grown again and asked if he still needed it. "Has the Frost Ganoderma grown through one cycle?" Xu Heng remembered that this Frost Ganoderma was also considered a magical medicine. Although there was a unique method of cultivation, it still took three years to grow through one cycle.

Only then did he realize that he had stayed in the icy sky for so long.

Although practitioners have long lifespans and one retreat can last from dynasty to dynasty, or even drastic changes in the world, for Xu Heng, this is the first time he has experienced this feeling of not knowing the time.

He stood quietly for a while before putting away the letter and his emotions. He flicked his sleeves and opened the door. A cluster of fire appeared under his feet, rising up into the sky.

In a short moment, he had broken through the heavy clouds and was soaring high above them.

Going further up, one will approach the Gangqi layer. Without the great achievement of Condensing Sha, entering it will be tantamount to seeking death. Even if a Gangqi cultivator enters it, he will only taste it for a while. As soon as he has absorbed the Gangqi, it will return. It is impossible for him to come and go freely.

Xu Heng naturally had no intention of challenging the principles of the cultivation world, so his momentum slowed down and he stopped in the cloudless and airless sky.

When you come here, there are no more clouds, wind or snow. You face the sunlight directly and let go of your senses. You feel as if you are in an ocean of solar power.

"Good." Xu Heng smiled slightly, and the flames under him suddenly dissipated, but there was no sign of his body falling. Instead, he sat down cross-legged in the air, with his five hearts facing the sky.

The next moment, as his profound skill was activated, the omnipresent power of the sun seemed to have found an opening and rushed towards Xu Heng.

From that day on, if the sky was clear, one could always see from Tianchi Mountain a ball of light hanging high above the clouds.

During the day, it is a gathering of golden light and brilliant red clouds. At night, it is the clear moonlight, bright and clear. It changes every day and night, and before you know it, it has become a long-lasting wonder in Tianchi Mountain.

Until one day three months later, a golden talisman suddenly shot up into the sky and disappeared into the light.

Xu Heng was in meditation when he suddenly felt something. He opened his eyes and saw a golden talisman floating in front of him. It was floating in the air but did not fly away. He took it in his hand and looked at it, and could not help but be slightly surprised.

It turned out that this golden talisman was actually the edict of Master Lu Chunyang, the head of the third generation. No one knew whether it was written by him personally or by his disciples, but it said that a suitable Taoist temple had been allocated for him.

Xu Heng thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

Although the decree did not state it explicitly, he could sense that it was probably because the law felt that allowing him to practice in heaven was not a good idea.

It just so happened that after a hundred days of practice, he had already achieved great magical powers. It was time to slow down his practice and breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, perhaps this is also the reason why this decree has only come into Xu Heng's hands now, but there is no way of knowing.

Xu Heng put away the talisman, stood up, and was about to fall into the mountain, but suddenly he looked back and saw a flash of light in the layer of strong energy, as if something was approaching here rapidly. Then the fierce strong wind naturally split up, and a man walked down the heavenly steps.
