All Heavens: Start with the Heaven-Covering Sacrifice

Chapter 2: The strangeness of Zhuofeng, the wonderful method of nature

Withered vines, old trees, and dim crows.

It is a true portrayal of the bleak and desolate scene of Zhuofeng.

After He Lang awakened his spiritual consciousness from his previous life, he has spent several years here.

However, his cultivation level did not improve at all, and he also experienced the helplessness of practicing with a mortal body.

From being irritable in the beginning because his level of practice did not improve, to later becoming indifferent to everything and letting things take their course, his mentality has changed a lot and he has become more Buddhist.

I originally thought that I had awakened and should be a unique genius, and that my practice should be improving by leaps and bounds. I didn't expect that I was overthinking.

He Lang felt somewhat helpless, but he did gain something.

In recent times, he seemed to have become a lot smarter. He understood many principles at a glance, and he also understood the key points of spiritual practice after just one practice.

His mentality became more and more in line with the natural state of mind of Zhuofeng's ancient scriptures, which instead made his soul grow and replenish himself. The endless secrets in his body were also opened up through some strange portals, and he obtained various secret powers, which actually improved his Taoism.

His mind was getting closer and closer to the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the power of his soul began to grow continuously. The sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows changed from a small pool to a small lake, and then became a vast ocean. He Lang compared it with Zhuo Feng's notes and felt that it even surpassed the soul of a great power.

He Lang even felt that it was the system that compensated him, using the power of the system to improve his own understanding.

Now, everything he sees has traces of the Great Dao!

At the nine-story staircase of Zhuo Peak, He Lang leaned on the first outer staircase with his eyes slightly open, as if he was asleep, yet also as if he was awake.

Ever since Li Ruoyu told him about it, the Ninth Floor of the Sky became his place for practice.

From staring blankly at the beginning to realizing the natural state of mind later, he seemed to have gained something and grasped a trace of the energy of nature.

The key to unlocking the secrets of Zhuofeng lies in every mountain, stone, blade of grass and tree of Zhuofeng.

The way in which all things in the world change is part of that key, and needs to be observed and outlined by people.

When you have engraved the changes in this small world in your heart, you will have obtained the key.

Originally, He Lang looked down on the way of nature. He yearned for the way of fighting and killing. However, in the process of constantly reading Taoist scriptures, his concept changed.

The operation of all things is ultimately composed of the processes of beginning, development, and result. Struggle is only a part of it, and the purpose is still the result.

All of this is included in the way of nature. As long as you can understand the laws of change of all things, it is not that important to fight or not.

Of course, it is also related to He Lang's desire to survive. Fighting and killing is so dangerous.

The way of nature is more suitable for honest people like him. He just needs to find a place to squat and practice honestly.

Sit and watch the clouds roll and the winds and clouds change in the world.

As he breathed, streams of Qi between heaven and earth gathered towards him. The original Qi from every mountain, stone, blade of grass and tree was drawn by him and exhaled into his body with each breath. However, He Lang did not absorb the Qi.

After he absorbed these energies, He Lang exhaled a stream of essence after a while, and they returned to their origin.

It was visible to the naked eye that the plants began to grow after absorbing the essence exhaled by He Lang. Their branches and leaves became more lush, and their branches became thicker, as if several spring and autumns had passed.

The rocks have also changed. Ordinary stones have become fine-grained and have a jade-like texture.

This is a kind of symbiosis and also an exchange. Although He Lang's realm has not improved, his mind is in harmony with the world when he breathes in and out. His spiritual thoughts are integrated with the mountains and rivers of Zhuofeng, and he realizes the changes of the world and the operation of the rules of heaven and earth.

He achieved a brief period of unity between man and nature, and his cultivation level can be said to have made great progress.

He was originally just a mortal, but there was a Taoist rhythm surrounding his body, as if he had transformed into a natural Taoist body. All things in nature naturally merged into one with him, were close to him, and blessed him.

The mountains and waters of Zhuofeng emit a faint glow, converging towards the void, about to open a portal.

At this moment, Zhuofeng seemed to come alive, with a constant flow of life breath.

A simple and natural Taoist charm spreads across the peak.

This even alarmed Li Ruoyu, who opened the door of the hall.

It transformed into a ray of rainbow light and came towards the ninth-level heavenly stairs. He Lang, who was sitting cross-legged on the heavenly stairs and becoming one with the world, suddenly showed surprise on his calm face.

Li Ruoyu murmured: "Is Zhuofeng's inheritance going to appear again?"

He sat cross-legged on the ground, trying hard to capture the Tao rhythm that appeared between heaven and earth, and slowly he captured something.

After a long time, the Taoist rhythm disappeared and Li Ruoyu withdrew from his practice.

He Lang's figure had already disappeared on the steps of heaven, and a scent of meat wafted from not far away.

"Brother, come here as soon as you wake up."

He Lang raised the wine jug and roasted rabbit leg in his hand and shouted to Li Ruoyu.

Li Ruoyu smiled, stood up and walked over, took the wine and meat handed to him by He Lang, drank two sips of wine, ate two bites of meat, and was in a good mood.

Li Ruoyu glanced at He Lang and said, "I didn't expect that I was right to ask you to go to the Heavenly Stage for cultivation. You have really touched the door to the way of nature and will open the inheritance of my Zhuofeng."

It was originally just a thought, but he didn't expect that this junior fellow really did it. Moreover, when he watched with his Dharma Eyes, his junior fellow became less and less miraculous, as if he had become a mortal. This in turn surprised Li Ruoyu, as it just proved that He Lang's Taoism had improved a lot.

"Haha, it's also due to chance. I have figured it out, junior brother!" He Lang laughed when he heard Li Ruoyu's words.

After chatting for a while, Li Ruoyu also left. He had gained a lot today, and he wanted to integrate it into himself.

He Lang watched him leave, then finished his meat and put out the fire.

A few crows were screaming on a dead tree not far away, and their eyes were occasionally looking at the bones discarded by He Lang.

"Quack, quack..." It makes unpleasant sounds from time to time.

He Lang knew that they were the gods among the soldiers of Zhuofeng's most precious treasure, Zhuogong, but he didn't care.

"Go! Go! Go."

He Lang picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at the tree, scaring several crows away.

Looking at the gods that looked like real creatures, He Lang marveled at the wonders of nature.

The performance of the clumsy bow even surpassed most of the weapons in Zhatian, and it broke free from the original constraints of the weapons.

He Lang did not take them back, but left them like that.

After having a good meal and a good drink, He Lang went to the side hall and took out a hoe, then headed towards a corner of Zhuofeng Mountain, where he had opened up a medicinal garden to grow some medicinal herbs.

There are no particularly precious medicines in He Lang's medicine garden. They are all ordinary herbs that he and his fellow disciples exchanged for, and they are not of any age.

He walked to the medicine garden and could feel the vibrant energy of life from afar.

Immortal Grass, Heavenly Heart Fruit, Resurrection Grass, Jade Snake Orchid, each herb was full of vitality. He Lang picked up a hoe to loosen the soil for them. In the process, he constantly breathed in the essence of heaven and earth to exchange essence with these herbs, comprehended their medicinal properties, and delved into their roots. He gained a lot in a short time.

This is also part of his practice.

After taking care of the medicine garden, He Lang walked out of Zhuofeng Peak and wandered around Taixuan Gate.

"Dong dong dong..."

Beside a flowing stream, there was the sound of a piano. The sound was so pleasant to the ears that it made people feel as if they were there.

It tells the story of all things living together in a natural and leisurely manner, without any worries or sorrows.

What was surprising was that the person playing the piano was just a child of five or six years old, with a delicate and pretty face and eyes full of spirit. Behind the child, several bodyguards stood behind him.

He Lang saw this scene from afar and felt sad.

This little guy is none other than Hua Yunfei from Taixuan Star Peak, a strong rival of Ye Fan in the future. He has practiced the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art of the Henren Emperor.

"Yun Fei, are you practicing your piano skills again?" He Lang walked over and greeted him.

"Yunfei, hello, uncle-master!" Hua Yunfei stood up and saluted He Lang.

Every move was full of solemnity.

"Didn't Uncle Master tell us not to be so polite?" He Lang said after helping him up.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Hua Yunfei said solemnly, but he was small and his expression was solemn, but he looked cute.

"It's up to you!"

He Lang and Hua Yunfei have said this countless times and there is no need to say more.

Hua Yunfei invited He Lang to sit down and played his own music for him. During the performance, he raised some questions about spiritual practice and asked He Lang to answer them.

He Lang explained everything to him one by one, stayed for a moment, and then left.

"Young Master, why do you respect him so much? In terms of cultivation, the peak master's realm is much higher than his. Why do you choose the faraway place over the near one?"

After He Lang left, one of Hua Yunfei's protectors asked in confusion.

Taixuan Sect had long known about Zhuofeng's decline, and he couldn't understand why Hua Yunfei was like this.

"What do you know!"

Although Hua Yunfei was small, he was majestic. One look at him made the protector feel nervous.

But he did not explain why.

He was born with amazing spiritual perception and could sense everything.

In his spiritual perception, Zhuo Feng’s two uncles and senior brothers were not simple people.

Especially this Uncle Master He Lang. Looking at him is like looking at the vast sky or seeing a dragon. Even his grandfather is far inferior to him.

There is a strange Taoist charm flowing from his body. When being around him, one's mind becomes clearer and the spirit becomes more stable.

There are many benefits to being on good terms with him.

"Ding ding ding..."

The sound of the piano rang out again, echoing along the banks of the stream and between the mountain streams.

After He Lang walked away, he began to ponder over it.

"Hua Yunfei has grown into a young boy, and his intelligence is well-known far and wide. I think he has caught the attention of the ruthless lineage. Now that he has reached the stage of building his foundation, I think the ruthless successor will soon come to visit."

He Lang thought about it for a while and secretly decided to pay more attention to Xingfeng in the future.

He also wanted to take a look at the Emperor's Scripture of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, not to mention the supreme killing technique recorded in it.

He Lang also wanted to observe the attacking and killing techniques such as the Flower Blooms in a Thought and Dominates the World, the All-Transformation Sacred Technique, and the Flying Immortal Technique.

As for whether he could defeat the ruthless successor, He Lang hadn't even thought about it.

He is terribly strong now!
