Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 258 Xu Qing: One step into the Innate Realm, what a magnificent "Longevity Manual"!
Inside Yangzhou city, atop a tall building, Yuwen Huaji's face was extremely gloomy.

"Stone Dragon!"

He gritted his teeth and muttered Shi Long's name, underestimating the man somewhat, which allowed him to escape from his grasp and hide.

With his target hidden, it will be extremely difficult for him to seize the "Longevity Manual" tonight.

Damn stone dragon!
Yuwen Huaji wished he could tear the stone dragon to pieces. If he couldn't get his hands on that martial arts treasure tonight, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to that tyrannical emperor.

"grown ups!"

At this moment, one of his trusted confidants used his light-footed skills to fly to Yuwen Huaji's side.

"Have you caught the target?"

Yuwen Huaji looked at this trusted confidant, who was in charge of capturing Fu Junzhuo.

Tonight, he not only took action against Shi Long, but also ordered some of his men to make a final move against Fu Junzhuo.

The purpose was to obtain both the divine martial arts manual and the woman in one go.

The "Longevity Manual" is hard to obtain tonight, but we can use that woman to silence the tyrannical emperor.

"Please forgive us, sir. That woman has recovered from her injuries. We failed to capture her, and many of our men died by her sword."

The confidant immediately knelt down and said with a look of fear on his face.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji's eyes turned cold and murderous. His anger erupted, and he kicked his confidant in the chest, sending him flying.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

They didn't get the "Longevity Manual," and they also failed to capture the woman.

Yuwen Huaji was furious that he hadn't been able to accomplish anything all night.

"Seal off the entire city! If neither that woman nor Shi Long is found within three hours, you will both be beheaded!"

Yuwen Huaji roared, enraged.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, their bodies trembled, and they shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Then, they acted quickly.

Yuwen Huaji was not idle either, and wanted to search for Shilong's whereabouts again.

Meanwhile, within Yangzhou City, spies from various factions were gathering information about what had happened that night.

Yuwen Huaji's large-scale military action must have been for an extremely important matter.

Both sides would be very interested in this.

At this moment, at the Jiangdu Imperial Palace.

Xu Qing had already quietly returned to the palace, and no one noticed his departure and return.

The white ape guarding the palace, who had been dozing off, immediately opened its eyes upon hearing the noise.

Upon seeing that it was its master, it closed its eyes again and silently focused its qi and blood.

Xu Qing ignored the white ape, focusing his attention on the "Longevity Manual," a supreme martial arts treasure.

In this world, the martial arts world has always been talking about the Four Great Books. If one can successfully cultivate them, one can glimpse the highest realm of martial arts: breaking through the void.

The "Longevity Manual" is one of these four extraordinary books and is the highest divine skill of Taoism.

The other three are "The Heavenly Demon Strategy," the highest sacred text of the Demonic Sect.

The Cihang Sword Manual is the highest level of practice in the Cihang Jingzhai sect of Buddhism.

The last book, titled "The War God's Record," is all-encompassing and is said to contain the most profound and subtle principles of martial arts.

In fact, the "Longevity Manual", "Heavenly Demon Strategy", and "Compassionate Sword Manual" all originated from the "War God Record".

In other words, the "War God's Manual" is the strongest divine skill in this world.

However, the "War God's Record" is extremely difficult to find, and can only be seen by those with a special destiny.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Qing's mind, but he could only suppress his desire to find the "War God's Record" for the time being.

He focused his attention on the "Longevity Manual" in his hand. This extraordinary book is said to be a divine skill created by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, after comprehending the "War God's Record".

Xu Qing opened it and saw strange and unusual oracle bone script. He smiled calmly.

Oracle bone script is extremely difficult for others to understand.

But Xu Qing has traveled to many different worlds, witnessed countless cultures, and explored ancient history. He has studied countless ancient books and classics, and naturally, he has also done some research on ancient scripts such as oracle bone script.

Therefore, he was able to easily translate the contents of this divine skill manual.

Soon, Xu Qing became immersed in the contents of the "Longevity Manual".

His mind was completely drawn to the contents. Although the text was not very long, the martial arts concepts it contained greatly surprised Xu Qing.

After a long while, Xu Qing slowly composed himself and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent 'Longevity Manual'!"

The content recorded in these texts is not martial arts.

Rather, it contains Guang Chengzi's understanding of heaven, earth, the universe, and all things. Its mysteries are profound and require a person with extremely high comprehension to understand.

With Xu Qing's comprehension, this was naturally no challenge for him.

Therefore, one can understand the profound meaning of the content contained therein.

"The human body is a microcosm of Tai Chi, and the universe is a macrocosm of Tai Chi. Only when the inner and outer worlds are integrated can we achieve true harmony between humanity and nature!"

Xu Qing was amazed by the book's profound understanding and philosophy of the unity of man and nature.

As long as one can cultivate this martial art, one can easily and quickly reach the state of oneness with heaven and man, thereby absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, and all things in the universe through the acupoints throughout the body.

Refine it in a mysterious way to directly cultivate innate true qi!
"A book that grants one a step into the Innate Realm—such a wondrous book is truly amazing!"

Xu Qing sighed repeatedly. Many martial arts schools in the world all require cultivating acquired true qi first, and then returning to the innate state to achieve the level of an innate grandmaster.

This divine skill allows one to comprehend the unity of heaven and man from the very beginning, reaching the level of a Grandmaster in one step.

It started with a level of effort that surpassed that of many others!

This divine skill is undoubtedly one of the strongest martial arts among all the divine skills Xu Qing has ever seen, no less powerful than the Xiaoyao Sect's supreme inheritance, "Xiaoyao Yufeng".

Then, Xu Qing saw the seven illustrations at the back of the book.

The seven pictures represent seven completely different paths of cultivation, much like seven martial arts techniques.

However, Xu Qing understood that the reason Guang Chengzi drew seven diagrams was to make it easier for cultivators to practice the "Longevity Manual".

These seven pictures are not in any particular order; you can choose to practice them at will.

However, from the perspective of cultivation paths, the later cultivation diagrams become increasingly complex.

The more difficult it is to cultivate, the more difficult it becomes.

Clearly, starting with the first picture and progressing step by step is the most suitable approach.

However, Xu Qing does not need to cultivate it. He only needs to study the essence of this martial art and integrate it into the foundational martial arts manual, "Martial Scripture".

The ability to absorb and refine the essence of all things through acupoints is somewhat similar to the method of seizing the power of others through acupoints in the Beiming chapter of "Free and Easy Wind Riding," but it is clearly superior to the Beiming chapter.

The similarity lies in its cultivation method, which differs from other martial arts in that it involves breathing exercises.

Instead, it involves refining the essence through the use of acupoints to cultivate a more powerful true qi.

"Acupoints..."

Xu Qing murmured softly, "Acupoints are also extremely mysterious structures in the human body."

He remembered that in the world of Yang Shen, acupoints could also be cultivated, and even greater power could be achieved.

However, the methods for refining the apertures are extremely rare.

This is a method not found in the "Longevity Manual". Although its utilization and development of acupoints is stronger than that of the "Free and Easy Wind Riding" Northern Darkness Chapter, it still cannot be used to cultivate acupoints.

"Perhaps the 'War God's Manual' can help me comprehend the method of refining the acupoints."

Xu Qing had some guesses in his heart. The Longevity Manual was derived from the War God Record, and the more profound War God Record must contain even more profound martial arts principles!

However, this matter cannot be rushed. Right now, we need to integrate the essence of the "Longevity Manual" into our own cultivation method.

The moment a thought arises, the "moment of enlightenment" begins.

Xu Qing was immersed in the refinement of martial arts. In his mind, his soul seemed to radiate light, and many martial arts concepts collided and then intertwined.
