Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 199: The True Form of the Immortal Family's Interior! Inheritance
The Valley of Truth.

It's night, silent.

"It seems that I can't become a martial arts master."

Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged in meditation with a look of regret on his face.

He originally thought that by creating the [Method of Summoning the Monkey King] and solving the problem of "evil spirit" harming the body, he could also practice "martial arts".

By then, he will become a big gangster in the underworld, roaming around in the underworld without anyone noticing.

You will never have to worry about exposing your identity as a "cultivator" in your entire life.

It turned out that he thought too simply.

Martial arts induce "evil spirit to refine the body", suppress the "spirit" and "primordial spirit", cut off the path to ascension, and lose the hope of "immortality". Modern martial arts do the opposite, focusing on cultivating "physical body and spirit", replacing the "primordial spirit" with "martial arts will".

This is like a minister who has offended the king and simply secedes and establishes himself as king.

As long as the will is immortal, the martial arts will never die.

He completely parted ways with Xiuxian and went on the opposite path.

One is "invincible in the world", the other is "transcendence from the world".

Qiu Zhen naturally prefers the latter.

He felt a little regretful that he couldn't become a "Martial Arts Grandmaster", but he didn't care too much about it.

At worst, he could become “Little Master Qiu” like his master An Jishi.

His secular status is not low, and outsiders dare not provoke him easily.

For him, it was more than enough.

While thinking, Qiu Zhen stretched out his hand and a scroll appeared in his hand.

In the scroll, a huge demon ape, as majestic as the green mountains behind it, stood tall. Its body was covered with thick black hair, its face was ferocious, its eyes were red like flames, its sharp fangs protruded, and it was filled with murderous aura. Faintly, it could be heard making roars like thunder.

This is exactly the [Demonic Ape Map to Calm the World].

At the beginning, when Qiu Zhen was trying to break through to his innate ability through his acquired ability, his master An Jishi gave him a picture of the [Demon Ape To Calm the World].

At first glance, the two scrolls look exactly the same.

In fact, the methods are completely different.

The original [Demonic Ape Calming the World Diagram] was a method of visualizing the demonic ape and condensing the evil spirits of heaven and earth into the body, which was an introduction to martial arts.

The [Demonic Ape Map to Calm the World] in front of him is what Master An Jishi has learned throughout his life. It is a unique skill that integrates the "inner scene" into the spirit and soul and condenses the "true seed of martial arts". It is the key to entering the "master realm of martial arts".

As the saying goes, a stone from another mountain can polish a jade.

The martial arts and immortal ways of the contemporary world diverge in different directions, but the “scene-integrating method” of integrating the inner scene is the same.

At that moment, Qiu Zhen did not think much, his mind sank into the [Demonic Ape Map to Calm the World], his soul and body holding the magic pearl, surrounded by the seven great foundation-building objects, comprehending this [Demonic Ape Map to Calm the World].

The night passed.

"What a demon ape to rule the world."

Qiu really understood something and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

I have to say that Master An Jishi is extremely talented.

This [Demonic Ape Calming the World Picture] integrates more than one hundred inner scenes and is only one step away from the level of "Arhat's True Body" and "Immortal True Seed" inherited from the immortals.

Once the [Demon Ape Suppressing the World Diagram] is further advanced and this method is used to achieve the status of "Martial Arts Grandmaster", one can reach the top level of Martial Arts Grandmaster in one step.

"Master's [Metamorphosis Method] is truly mysterious. It's a pity that this is the Soul-Metamorphosis Method, not the proper Immortal Internal Scene Method, so it can't cultivate the [Seed of Enlightenment]."

Qiu Zhen shook his head.

His [Qingwei Dan Jue] has a profound purpose and a great origin, but the methods he obtained are only complete at the "refining essence into qi" level, while the more advanced methods are incomplete.

This is also normal.

After all, the [Qingwei Dan Jue] was the opportunity he got when he first entered the world of immortal cultivation, and it has all the necessary skills for "refining essence into qi", which can be considered a great blessing.

He has his primordial spirit and Dharma body, as well as his innate magical treasure. With the help of the [Demon Ape Map to Suppress the World], he also has the hope of deducing the immortal method to condense the "seed of enlightenment".

However, working in isolation will ultimately lead to inferiority.

If he could obtain a proper immortal method, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in paving his own way.

"It seems that I have to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Festival."

For a time, Qiu Zhen became more and more interested in the "Gathering of Ten Thousand Immortals".

He made an appointment with Yu Chanzi, Fairy Yunrou, and Monk Zhenkong to go to the "Gathering of Ten Thousand Immortals" together today.

It was getting late, Qiu Zhen took out the [Miro Palace] and contacted everyone.

Not long after, he sat cross-legged in meditation and his spirit left his body.

He opened his mouth and spit out red light.

The Yin Spirit drilled into the red bead and transformed itself into an ordinary Taoist priest in green. At first glance, he seemed to be flesh and blood, no different from an ordinary person.

This time, he planned to travel as a ghost to attend the event.

When one has mastered the art of "controlling Qi and wandering the spirit", the primordial spirit will be able to focus on one thing and consolidate the source of essence, the physical body will be able to fast and reproduce endlessly on its own, and the Yin spirit will be able to wander without any hindrance, for up to a year or so.

Qiu Zhen also has the [Red Emperor's Golden Pill] to support his Yin Spirit, so outsiders have no idea of ​​his depth.
-
About half an hour later.

Dense forests on the outskirts of Aoki Prefecture.

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong were sitting on the ground, talking and laughing. Suddenly, perhaps they noticed something, and they turned their heads and smiled:
"Qingwei, it's so rare to finally see you."

"long time no see!"

There was a flash of lightning.

Qiu Zhen appeared in front of the two of them from the sky, looked them up and down, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he bowed:
"Congratulations to both of you on your great improvement in cultivation. You have already stepped half a step into the realm of minor grandmasters!"

The outer realm is known as the master of martial arts, and the "small master realm" is an elegant name for the "innate inner realm". Of course, those who practice Taoism call it the "controlling Qi and wandering the gods" realm.

Half a year later, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong both reached perfection in the "Sun-wandering God" stage and were only one step away from achieving the "Body-born Inner Scene".

"Amitabha, I am grateful to you, Taoist friend Qingwei."

Monk Zhenkong clasped his hands together and spoke very sincerely.

Monks do not lie.

The past six months have been the period in which his cultivation level has improved the fastest since he started practicing.

Among these, in addition to some opportunities of his own, the most important credit lies in the "essence of spiritual energy".

Looking back, it feels a bit dreamy.

Half a year's effort is equivalent to several years of hard practice.

"That's not it!"

Fairy Yunrou agreed with him and looked at Qiu Zhen:
"I'm afraid you have already completed the [Sun Travel God]?"

Qiu Zhen nodded. He had indeed already achieved the perfection of the Sun-Traveling God.

Fairy Yunrou was not surprised at all.

As the "Heart Meridian Master", he has the most spiritual essence, so it is easy for him to improve his cultivation.

"Qingwei, do you have any inner practice method?"

"No."

"No wonder you are so active in this [Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering]."

"Fairy, excuse me for asking, you have always been blessed with great fortune, do you have any method for inner cultivation?"

When Qiu Zhen asked about this, Monk Zhenkong, who was twirling Buddhist beads at the side, paused with his thumb and looked over.

Obviously, Monk Zhenkong also has no method of inner practice.

Generally speaking, after completing the [Innate True Gang Realm] and [Riyoushen], one can start practicing inner scene cultivation, which will be of great help in breaking through the "inner scene realm".

If there is no "inner scene practice method", then one has to rely on hard work, or like Qiu Zhen, have an epiphany one day and the inner scene will appear.

"Of course I have the common [Inner View Cultivation Method]. If you and I want it, I'm sure we can get it. However, the cultivation method you want is the [Inner View True Form Diagram], right?"

Qiu Zhen and Monk Zhenkong both nodded.

The [Inner Scene True Form Diagram] mentioned by Fairy Yunrou is probably the real “Inner Scene” method mentioned by Master.

Speaking of which, the [Demonic Ape Map to Suppress the World] in his hand is the authentic inheritance of the [Inner Scene True Form Map].

It's a pity that it's not the immortal way. "It's true."

Fairy Yunrou smiled and transmitted her voice through her consciousness:
"The Inner Scenery True Form Diagram is a highly advanced inheritance of the immortals, and is extremely rare. I don't have it either. I heard that at this Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Meeting, there will be senior cultivators giving lectures on the inner scenery cultivation method, and there may even be immortals passing down the Inner Scenery True Form Diagram."

"The true form of the immortal's inner world!"

Qiu Zhen was immediately delighted.

The Master's [Demonic Ape Calming the World Diagram] is still some distance away from the Immortal's "Inner Scenery True Form Diagram".

If he could obtain the true form of the immortal's inner world, not only would he have a method, but it would also be easier for him to open up his own path of cultivation by standing on the shoulders of giants.

"Such a big thing, why haven't I heard Yu Chanzi mention it before!"

"You have a master, Xuanwei Zhenren. Yu Chanzi thought you didn't have this need, so naturally he wouldn't mention it!"

"That's true."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly. Anyone who could achieve the status of "Old Monster Yuanshen" must have inherited the superior [Inner Scene True Form Map].

As the old monster's apprentice, there is no need to worry about this aspect.

Unfortunately, he is not.

"Who has the opportunity to comprehend the Immortal Family's [Inner Scenery True Form Diagram]?"

Qiu Zhen was delighted, but also a little surprised:

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is so generous that they are willing to contribute this kind of immortal inheritance for free."

"That Immortal Family's [Inner Scenery True Form Map] is not a treasure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

Fairy Yunrou smiled:
"This treasure is the legacy of the ancient [Miro Palace] and belongs to the entire world of immortal cultivation. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is only temporarily in charge of it, for a period of ten years. After this [Ten Thousand Immortals Festival] is over, the [Inner Scene True Shape Map] will be kept by another major immortal cultivation force!"

"This is also why, apart from a few major forces, all other invitees to the [Ten Thousand Immortals Festival] must have at least the [Sun-Wandering God] cultivation level. In essence, the immortal cultivation world is uniting to support the younger generation of immortal cultivators. This is the so-called 'inheritance of the torch'!"

"I see!"

Qiu Zhen and Monk Zhenkong suddenly understood.

The world of cultivating immortals is in decline, suppressed by the imperial court and the secular world. The world is in a state of crisis, and all parties need to stick together for warmth.

As long as the core interests of all parties are not involved, the major immortal cultivation forces are still united on major issues.

As the three of them were talking, perhaps they noticed something and all looked sideways.

A sword light flew over from a distance and landed in front of the three people.

The person who came was none other than Yu Chanzi.

Yu Chanzi did not live in Aoki County, so she arrived the latest.

"You three, I've been waiting for a long time."

"We just arrived."

Fairy Yunrou is good at dancing, and after half a year, she has become quite familiar with Yuchanzi:
"Fellow Daoist Yu Chanzi, you came just in time. We were just talking about the Immortal Inner Reality Diagram. You have participated in it several times, so you must be very familiar with it. I wonder if there are any challenges in comprehending the [Inner Reality Diagram]?"

"I knew you were here for the [Inner Scenery True Form Map]."

Yu Chanzi was not surprised at all and smiled:

"The [Inner Reality Map] kept by the alliance is a thing of the immortals. If you try to comprehend it casually, your charm will probably be damaged and disappear. Therefore, there are naturally requirements and tests. As for what the test is, I don't know."

Speaking of this, Yu Chanzi smiled and said:
"You three are extremely talented. Even if there are tests, you will surely be able to pass them easily with your abilities. There is no need to worry too much."

"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Taoist!"

The four of them exchanged greetings for a while and did not stay long.

"shhhhhh"

The four of them each displayed their magical powers, some riding on the clouds, some controlling the wind, and some flying with swords, and flew towards the depths of the Yulong Mountains.

Along the way, there were three fellow Taoists at the level of [Sun-Wandering God] traveling with him.

Taoist Master Yulong, Bailingzi, and Master Guangyuan.

Speaking of which, Qiu Zhen, Yun Rou and the others knew each other and had met each other in the Secret Realm of Immortality.

All three of them are local Yin God masters in Changle Prefecture. They know each other well and are also invited by the [Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance] to attend the event together.

Perhaps because of Qiu Zhen’s heroic help last time, the three men recognized Qiu Zhen, were very enthusiastic towards him, and had a very pleasant conversation with him.

About an hour later.

The group hurried on their way, and before they knew it, they had penetrated six or seven hundred miles deep into the Yulong Mountains and entered the central area of ​​the mountains.

"Senior Yu Chanzi, the grand gathering of all immortals is actually in the depths of the Yulong Mountains."

"Of course. There are few places in the world that are more secretive, better for hiding, and more convenient for hosting immortal cultivation events than the Yulong Mountains."

"That's true."

Everyone nodded in unison, deeply agreeing.

The gathering of immortal cultivators was quite grand, and it was easy for other places to be discovered by the imperial court, which would lead to disasters of killing and give the imperial court the opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop.

That is the Yulong Mountains, which are vast and rich in resources. The imperial court did not get involved, and the throne of the Dragon King fell into someone else's hands. The Jiaolong King could not truly control the sacred mountain. The Yulong Mountains were in a semi-ownerless state, and thus attracted countless immortal cultivation forces to station there.

Even if the mountain gate headquarters is not there, there will be a station.

As they were talking, they walked to a mountain and stopped.

As soon as he landed, an extremely terrifying pressure came over him.

The next moment, among the rolling hills, a mountain giant that was dozens of feet tall and as big as a small mountain slowly stood up. It was covered with huge rocks and emanated a murderous aura that made it hard for everyone to breathe.

"Big demon!"

Everyone changed their colors.

Yu Chanzi had anticipated this, and with a calm expression, he took out a token from his sleeve and made a hand gesture:

"Senior Shanling, we are one family, please help me to open the mountain."

When the rock giant caught a glimpse of what Yu Chanzi was holding, the ferocity in his eyes quickly subsided, and he became lazy again. Without saying a word, he slowly lay down.

"Ding~"

After a crisp sound, ripples appeared in the air.

Then, the scene before everyone's eyes changed.

The vast and boundless dense forest disappeared, and in its place appeared a small city with houses lined up in an orderly manner.

A loud noise came from the city.

Fairy Yunrou is knowledgeable, but this is also her first time attending an immortal cultivation event, and she looks surprised.

“So lively!”

"We are close to Changle Prefecture, so the alliance arranged for the joining later. The fellow Taoists who came from far away arrived a few days ago."

Yu Chanzi explained and then flew into the city in the mountains.

Seeing this, everyone filed in.

As soon as you enter the city, powerful spiritual senses sweep in from all directions, intertwining and entangled.

This scene surprised everyone.

Outside, although they have the power of spiritual awareness, they are generally very cautious. Once they enter the city, they dare not release it at will.

But now it is a gathering for cultivators, and everyone in the city is a cultivator, so there is no scruple about releasing their spiritual consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness was flying around, and the scene was shocking.

However, what surprised Qiu Zhen even more was that the [Miro Palace] jade talisman in his arms was moving wildly.

Immortal fate!

Immortal fate!

Or immortal fate!

More than a dozen hot currents came one after another, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

Qiu Zhen looked at Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong. They both had the same subtle expressions and looked at each other.

Yu Chanzi, who was standing by, might have expected this. He smiled mysteriously and sent a telepathic message to the three people:

"Three of you, now you know the wonders of the Immortal Cultivation Festival, right?"
