I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 25: Calling the wind and rain, supreme magical power

Seventy miles away, in the same quiet courtyard, a handsome young man in white clothes sat cross-legged and practiced. With his hands clasped together and pointed, a wisp of fire came out.

This person was none other than Chen Hai, who had joined the sect together with Ji Yuan and Yin Yaoer.

A ball of fire as big as a washbasin, accompanied by fingerprints, flew in the air. The scorching flames distorted the air and the heat wave covered dozens of feet.

There were seven or eight young Taoist priests nearby, all of whom were formal disciples of the Taoist Academy and cultivators who had cultivated magical powers in previous years. Seeing this, they all praised: "Great!"

"Brother Chen has been practicing Taoism for less than a year, but he has already acquired the magical power of several decades. This really makes us ashamed."

"As expected of a genius of the Chen family, he has great magical powers and profound Taoist skills. Junior Brother Chen will definitely be included in the next session of the main altar's true transmission and ordination."

Chen Hai showed a proud look on his face. He had been in the Taoist temple for less than a year, but with the help of many magical medicines provided by his family, he had already cultivated magical powers for more than thirty years.

In terms of magical power, he is not much different from the senior brothers from previous years.

More importantly, in order to allow him to become one of the geniuses of the Taoist academy, the head of the Chen family went to the main temple to receive precepts ten years later and taught him the Chen family's inherited magic spells in advance.

With thirty years of magical power, plus the magic skills inherited from his family, he was confident that he was no worse than any of the younger disciples in the Taoist temple.

“My fellow senior brothers, you are too kind. It’s less than ten years before the next ordination ceremony at the headquarters. I, Chen, only have thirty years of magical powers, which is really insignificant compared to the geniuses in other academies in the domain.” Chen Hai felt proud in his heart, but shook his head modestly.

As a descendant of the Chen family, a family of Taoist scholars in Jingzhou, he knew a lot of news that ordinary Taoist disciples did not know.

Every hundred years, the Taoist temples in each state of Xuanwei Sect recommend some disciples to the headquarters.

Among them, those who have magical powers that can last for hundreds of years and have excellent aptitude will have the opportunity to be accepted into the ranks of the true disciples at the headquarters and be granted the rank of immortal scholars.

Only true disciples are considered the core figures of Xuanwei Sect and have the opportunity to inherit the Dafa.

Families of immortal learning have no shortage of elixirs, practitioners, or human and material resources; so why are they so eager to send their talented children to major religions?

The purpose is to become a true disciple of a great sect; not only is one blessed with the luck of a supreme sect, but one also has various magical powers; one has the opportunity to cultivate great magical powers; this is the basis for the immortal family's thousand- or ten-thousand-year inheritance.

Just as he was feeling proud, a gust of black wind suddenly blew in, raising dust all over the courtyard, and the monks who were watching Chen Hai practicing were all staggered.

"Puff!" A ball of fire condensed by Chen Hai's magic power was instantly annihilated in the black wind.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, it's all right, where does this strange wind come from?"

"No, this cold wind is a sign of a master practicing magic!"

"Hiss... Who in this Taoist temple has such magical powers? Who can stir up the power of heaven and earth?"

……

Ji Yuan fell into a state of emptiness and clarity.

In the dark and obscure world, a trace of consciousness and thought connected with the heavens and merged with the clouds in the sky. In an instant, it flew over the Taoist temple for dozens of miles.

In an instant, you become one with the wind, passing through mountains and walls, and traveling through the mountains and peaks.

It was as if I had suddenly gained some kind of enlightenment.

The Feng Nang Fa prohibits the true talisman; it is the great way of the previous life.

The true talisman of the immortals is the great way of this world.

The two have the same goal and complement each other.

With the help of the immortal's talisman, he grasped the infinite mysteries between heaven and earth; in his mind, the complicated talisman of the wind bag forbidden technique was constantly analyzed and comprehended.

Ji Yuan suddenly realized that the laws of the two worlds were different. To refine the treasure, he had to first convert the rules and talismans of the mythical treasure of the Blue Star universe in his previous life into the laws that were suitable for this world.

“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is…” A look of enlightenment flashed across Ji Yuan’s eyes.

Magical weapons are the carriers of supernatural powers.

Talismans are the supreme principles of heaven and earth, and the laws governing the operation of the universe.

The forbidden talismans in the magic weapons are also the supreme principles of the great way of heaven and earth.

Just like the [Centipede Bee Bag]; the magical thing is not the leather material used to make the bag, nor is it the cinnabar or blood used in the making.

What is truly magical is the two talismans drawn when refining the [Centipede Bee Bag].

Comprehending those two talismans is the basis for mastering the centipede bee's special skill.

If one comprehends the secrets contained in the two talismans, there is no need for any skin bags or pockets to breed centipede bees. Instead, all insects within a certain range can be under the control of one's fingers.

Even to the point of developing the ability to transform oneself into another being.

The same principle applies to the wind bag prohibition talisman.

However, the two talismans in the centipede bee bag are too simple after all. Even if you practice to the extreme, it is difficult to achieve this effect.

The wind bag talismans are nine true talismans, which have supreme mysteries and are in charge of all kinds of wind energy in the universe.

If one comprehends all the mysteries of the nine true talismans, they can be transformed into great supernatural powers, enabling one to control the wind and fog in the universe and prove the great way of wind.

In the quiet room, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground. In his eyes, dense and tiny talisman lights flowed; he opened his mouth and inhaled.

The clouds and wind above gathered together, and wisps of wind turned into a tornado, passing through the eaves and the wall, like a funnel, and was sucked into Ji Yuan's stomach.

In my mind, nine talismans kept changing, evolving infinite mysteries and emerging in my mind.

Eventually, it converged into a mysterious restriction, taking root in the soul.

Outside, the wind and fog dissipated, and the sky was still clear.

The sea is calm and all unusual phenomena are gradually becoming peaceful.

In the quiet room, Ji Yuan opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed. A slight breeze blew, rolling up the yellow paper on the incense table a few steps away, and it floated into his hands.

"Supernatural power!" Ji Yuan sensed the mysterious talisman rooted in his soul, and his heart was filled with astonishment and surprise. With the talisman in his soul, he seemed to have merged his consciousness with the wind, and could even sense the active emotions of the wind in his palm.

There is no need to chant any mantras, draw talismans, or even make hand gestures.

If you want wind to come, just think about it in your mind and a breeze will appear out of thin air.

This is already the level of supernatural power.

Can be activated instantly; mysterious and unpredictable.

With the help of the [Talisman to Summon Clouds and Pray for Rain], he comprehended a trace of the mystery of the nine talismans of the Wind Bag Forbidden Technique and cultivated his supernatural powers.

He stood up and pointed again.

The magic power turned into an invisible wind as thick as a chopstick, and like a rope, it rolled towards the door of the quiet room.

"Click!" The bolt was swept by the wind rope and fell to the ground, and the door opened wide.

Plus sunlight shines into the house.

Ignoring the astonished and awed looks from the strong men and children outside the door, and the strange looks from Yin Yao, Ji Yuan walked out of the door.

With his sleeves fluttering, he walked out of Youlan Garden with his head held high, followed the narrow mountain path, entered the bamboo forest in the mountains, and his figure gradually disappeared.

……

Youlan Garden is located on a small hill that is over 200 feet high and dozens of miles wide. Although the hill is small, it has waterfalls, streams, bamboo forests and peaks.

Ji Yuan climbed the cliff and crossed the ridge with quick steps. He soon reached the top of the mountain and sat down on the top of a cliff more than ten feet high, which was shrouded in clouds and mist.

It is very quiet here. It is hundreds of miles away from the Taoist temple and dozens of miles away from Youlan Garden on the mountainside. No one will disturb us.

Ji Yuan aimed at a rock about ten feet wide lying on the cliff more than a hundred feet away, and with a thought in his mind, he summoned the wind again.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind emerged from Ji Yuan's fingertips, making his sleeves rustle.

The wind gathered in the air and was visible to the naked eye; in the blink of an eye it was over a hundred feet wide and swept like a dragon.

"Go!" Ji Yuan pointed.

In an instant, a gust of wind as thick as a bucket swept towards the boulder like a dragon or snake.

Along the way, in the mountains and forests, bamboos swayed and trees fell down.

"Boom!" A huge rock about ten feet wide was caught by the wind, swaying and making a loud noise that shook the entire valley.

Eventually, the storm died down, but the boulder remained standing.

"That piece of rock must have taken root on the ground and weighed at least hundreds of thousands of pounds. My magical powers have only just begun to develop, and it seems that there will be a limit after all." Ji Yuan shook his head in disappointment.

He's determined.

Supernatural powers are indeed supernatural powers.

But there is no supreme divine power like in legends or imagination that can move mountains and fill the sea, and sweep across hundreds of thousands of miles.

This is related to Ji Yuan's low magical power, shallow Taoism, and shallow attainments in supernatural powers.

As your practice becomes more advanced and your realm improves, the power of your supernatural powers will increase a thousandfold.

He raised his finger again, and clouds in the sky gathered to a height of hundreds of feet. Raindrops began to fall continuously. The downpour made the shade of the trees crackle.

All the rain in the sky passed by Ji Yuan three feet away, without touching him at all.

"Let's call it calling the wind and rain." Ji Yuan silently gave this magical power a name in his heart.

This is the great way of wind controlled by the God of Wind. I don’t know what this magical power is called in mythology, but since the technique of summoning clouds and praying for rain was practiced in this world, it is called Wind Summoning Rain.

“However, I have already thoroughly comprehended the method of refining the wind bag. Once I succeed in refining the wind bag, my magical powers and attainments will be raised to a higher level.” Ji Yuan’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Magical weapons are the carriers of supernatural powers; they are also the confirmation of the great principles that those with great supernatural powers possess.

[Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] is the first magical power that Ji Yuan has mastered, but it is definitely not the last.

In my mind, there are endless spiritual lights in the mythological atlas, and the appearances of many magic weapons are constantly changing.

Some are shaped like circles, some are shaped like ropes, some are shaped like mirrors, some are shaped like flags, some are shaped like pagodas, some are shaped like gourds…

If it is the same as [centipede bee bag] and [wind bag].

Each of these magic weapons represents a unique skill, a magical power, or even a great path.

Then, there will be thousands of treasures and myriad magical powers.

"I have countless magical powers and magic weapons. How can I not do something? I should cultivate to become an immortal in this world and realize the supreme path."

"Don't worry, my magic power is too shallow. Even if I have supernatural powers, I can't display much power. Before going to the headquarters, I must find a way to accumulate magic power for at least a hundred years."

"There are many children from immortal learning families in the Taoist temple. I heard that they can cultivate hundreds of years of magic power after just a few years of Taoism. What they rely on are the many magical herbs provided by the clan."

There was a gleam of light in Ji Yuan's eyes.

"At the beginning of every month, the monks of each family provide spiritual medicines and magical materials to the younger generations of the family in Yuntai Mountain, so that they can quickly cultivate advanced magical powers."

"The Zhao family lost their blood spirit fat at my hands. I also took away their exotic beasts and magic weapons. I will never give up on this vengeance. I have already offended them to death."

“These dandies from aristocratic families, if you don’t come to cause trouble, then that’s fine; but if you dare to do so again, I will give you a magical herb and you won’t be able to come up the mountain.” Ji Yuan sneered in his heart.

"I must gain a firm foothold in the Immortal Sect as soon as possible, be able to protect myself, and gain status; then, I can find out the news about my brother and sister-in-law."

Since I came to this world, my life has been like a mayfly or an ant; thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for raising and caring for me; I must repay this kindness.
