Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 256 Zhao Qi'an's Finale

Zhao Qi'an picked up several books on the ground, put them on the desk, and picked up one of them at random to start reading.

"Visualization of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gods"

It’s just that the name of this book is a bit weird.

After Zhao Qi'an opened the book, he saw a portrait of a giant on the first page. The giant was holding two short axes in his hands, crossed in front of his chest. He was curled up like a baby with his eyes closed.

With just one glance, he was immersed in the portrait, as if he had become the giant in the portrait, wrapped in a warm "shell". However, there was a voice in his mind constantly reminding him to "break out of the shell"...

"Ding~"

A soft sound brought Zhao Qian'an back to consciousness. He was stunned for a long time, as if what just happened was just an illusion.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Wang standing beside him. Just now, Zhao Wang had taken the pen and lightly tapped a bronze vessel on the table, which made a sound and brought his consciousness back to his senses.

Zhao Qi'an held the book and asked, "Is this the list of Lingyuan gods?"

Zhao Wang shook his head: "Although the painting is of the gods of Lingyuan, this book is actually an introduction to the cultivation methods in Lingyuan."

“Is this a practice?”

Zhao Qi'an was very surprised and couldn't help but look at the page in his hand again.

Zhao Wang explained: "Lingyuan's cultivation method focuses on 'Spirit'."

As he spoke, he pointed to his forehead and said, "Using the method of visualization to draw a picture of a god in your mind, you can resonate with the corresponding god on the Wheel of Heaven, thereby strengthening your own 'god'. If you are lucky enough to be noticed by a god, you may even be able to obtain divine powers from heaven."

"When the three souls and seven spirits have a physical body and become a divine spirit, they can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, thus starting the path of cultivation."

This is completely different from the Central Plains practice of tempering one's bones first and then moving blood to hone oneself.

Zhao Qi'an found it quite magical.

No wonder when Zhao Wang mentioned the differences and similarities between the cultivation methods of the two worlds, he used the terms "up to down" and "down to up" to distinguish them.

From the perspective of Daqian Jiuzhou, Lingyuan's method of cultivation is to first open up the Niwan Palace in the upper dantian, nourish the spirit, and then feed back to the physical body.

The practice of Niwan Palace is to temper a person's soul and is an extremely difficult task.

Ling Yuan's method of cultivation can be said to be assisted by external forces.

It is still unclear whether the Wheel of Heaven exists in Daqian Jiuzhou, and there is no deity that can be used as an object of visualization, so naturally there is no way to take such a shortcut.

Zhao Wang said regretfully: "It's a pity that all the people on the Wheel of Heaven and Earth are 'mad gods'. If you visualize randomly, it's easy to be affected and lose yourself and fall into madness."

He noticed that Zhao Qian'an frowned and said with a smile: "But this is Daqian Jiuzhou after all, not Lingyuan. Foster father is just looking at a picture of gods and will not be implicated. Rather, I am surprised that foster father can resonate with this "Mara Picture" in Daqian Jiuzhou. Perhaps if foster father was born in Lingyuan, his talent would be even better than mine."

Zhao Wang said this, Zhao Qi'an was a little curious, and asked: "What is your talent in Lingyuan?"

Zhao Wang said very tactfully: "My master lived for more than 600 years and had 3,000 disciples, but I am the only one who joined the sect the latest and am his successor."

After hearing this, Zhao Qian'an had a rough idea in his mind.

I didn't expect that Zhao Wang's talent here was just B-level, but he was a real genius over at Ling Yuan.

But he was more interested in one thing: "Your master lived for more than 600 years?" You should know that in this world, the lifespan of a first-grade Yang Immortal is at most more than 200 years old, and in the end he cannot escape the hardship of blood exhaustion.

Zhao Wang explained: "The flesh body cannot live that long, but at my level, even without a flesh body, only a Yin spirit can live in this world. However, the Yin spirit of ordinary people cannot live for too long after leaving the body. Only by cultivating the Supreme God and getting a seat on the Wheel of Heaven can one offer a golden body to the world, and then continue to exist among the incense of the people. As long as the incense is not exhausted, the Yin spirit will not die."

Zhao Qi'an keenly sensed something was wrong and said, "It sounds like there are a lot of drawbacks as well?"

"Of course, with the incense and prayers of the people, the wishes of all living beings, and the thoughts of countless people rushing into his mind, even the most powerful Yin God will eventually lose himself completely one day."

Zhao Wang sighed: "But now, even this road is cut off. Who among the Lingyuan Supreme Gods can escape the erosion of the Wheel of Heaven? Those with names are all mad gods!"

Zhao Qi'an frowned and asked, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Lingyuan inheritance is cut off? Who would dare to practice?"

"So the senior masters of Lingyuan developed the 'Heart Method'."

Zhao Wang flipped through the desk, pulled out a book, and handed it to Zhao Qi'an: "This book "Wuwangsheng" is a relatively popular mental method. Godfather, you can take a look at it, but just take a look."

Zhao Qi'an took it and looked through it carefully.

Zhao Wang stopped writing and sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Zhao Qian'an quietly.

Zhao Qi'an turned to the last page and closed his eyes.

After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, they were full of indifference and his whole aura turned cold.

But this state only lasted for a short while. Soon Zhao Qi'an's pupils regained their spirits. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "To cut off the seven emotions and eight sufferings... is an inhuman method."

This so-called mental method is to completely cut off the emotions that a person should have.

Zhao Wang smiled bitterly and said, "The mental method is just like this. Although it is inhuman, it can prevent us from falling into madness immediately when practicing."

"But even something like this cannot completely prevent the evil erosion of the Wheel of Heaven. That's why I came to this world to find a new solution."

Zhao Qi'an looked at Zhao Wang and said in a deep voice: "For you, there is another way that is at least much simpler."

"what?"

"You stay in this world and don't care about Ling Yuan anymore. Just think of it as a dream."

After he finished speaking, his eyes remained on Zhao Wang, waiting for his reply.

But Zhao Wang finally shook his head: "Foster father, I won't hide it from you. Compared with the Great Qian Jiuzhou, I feel more at home in Lingyuan. I may be able to stay here, but my family, friends, fellow disciples... and Master, they can't leave."

He looked at Zhao Qian'an and smiled carefreely: "If there is really no other way in the end, then let me die together in Lingyuan."

Zhao Qi'an wanted to say something about Zhao Wang's answer, but he trembled for a moment and finally said nothing.

He sat cross-legged next to Zhao Wang and said, "I will bring these things into the palace tomorrow and present them to Emperor Tianwu as the Zhao family's final gift."

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhao Wang's eyes: "In this way, my foster father will be exposed to the public."

Zhao Qi'an's face was calm as he replied:

"That's fine. I have my own ideas."
