Chapter 70 Samadhi True Fire?!
Looking at the aged face in the mirror that bore a resemblance to his own, Zhuge Qing's mind went blank for a moment.
How come in this last memory, his ancestor's face turned into his aged version?
The next moment, before he could figure out what had happened, an indescribable and complex emotion surged up from the deepest part of his heart like a flood bursting its banks!

"This is... a hemorrhage effect?!"

In a flash, Zhuge Qing's expression changed, and he instantly realized what was happening.

He experienced this phenomenon deeply while being studied in another world.

The so-called "bleeding effect" simply means that after being deeply immersed in ancestral memories, an individual's cognition and even some physiological characteristics will "synchronize" with those of their ancestors.

Simply put, it means making the memories of one's ancestors one's own...

But I don't remember this happening before, so why...?

The thought had barely formed when the scene shifted again.

The "Zhuge Liang" on his sickbed trembled as he got up and began to set up the Seven Star Lamp, performing the secret method of defying fate!
A massive flow of information, through this "bleeding effect," surged directly into Zhuge Qing's mind!
At this moment, the principles of the Seven Star Secret Technique were no longer a secret to him!

"I see……"

Zhuge Qing's breathing became slightly rapid.

The core of this so-called life-extending technique is the Zhuge family's secret technique, the Samadhi True Fire!
This fire is no ordinary fire; it is the product of the high condensation and sublimation of the three treasures of human essence, energy, and spirit. It is the most primal flame of life and the ultimate manifestation of vitality!
In theory, the more vigorous a person's essence, energy, and spirit are, the more intensely this "Samadhi Fire" burns.

Conversely, if the Samadhi Fire can burn continuously and vigorously, then the individual's life force can also be continuously generated and endlessly regenerated!
The true secret of the Seven Star Lamp lies in using itself as an altar to set up an array that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, forcibly drawing in the free-floating [Primordial Qi] from the outside world and continuously integrating it into its own life fire—that is, the [Samadhi True Fire]!
Like adding oil to an oil lamp that's about to burn out!

Once this technique is mastered, it means that his ancestor will be able to break the boundary between life and death, and draw upon the primordial energy from heaven and earth to replenish himself at any time, thereby achieving a terrifying effect that is close to "immortality"!
The principle sounds as simple and straightforward as "as long as there is enough firewood, the fire can keep burning."

But this only holds true in theory. Just like the third level of Reverse Life, only one Great Enrichment Immortal has mastered it in the Sanyi Sect over the past few hundred years.

Fortunately, his ancestor was a sorcerer, and the greatest sorcerer of his time.

Techniques are methods that utilize the power of the Way of Heaven.

In ancient legends, the Big Dipper governs death, while the Southern Dipper governs life; the stars have the power to control lifespan.

By harnessing the power of faith in the Big Dipper and leveraging the power of the Heavenly Dao, one can ascend to heaven in one step and directly perfect this Seven Star Secret Technique.

Unfortunately, relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao will inevitably be subject to its constraints, which means it will trigger the inner realm's punishment and balance mechanism.

The criterion for this punishment mechanism is whether what you want to obtain matches your public perception of your status.

Just like the US president should know the nuclear launch codes, but an ordinary person shouldn't...

No matter how incredibly wise Zhuge Liang was, in the understanding of people at that time, it was impossible for him to possess the ability to live forever.

Therefore, his ancestor's practice of the Seven Stars Life Extension Method was going against the will of Heaven, and so it was only natural that he ultimately failed...

With his ancestor's cultivation level, he naturally knew that forcibly using this technique would lead to certain death!

But his ancestor still resolutely chose this dead end!
Those aged eyes, burning with an indomitable spirit, were fixed on the flickering lamplight, as if they wanted to devote their entire lives to it!
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Qing felt an even stronger surge of complex emotions and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He probably understood...

Why does this memory of praying for life at Wuzhang Plain feel so "real" and so "self-centered"?

Why is it that in this particular section, the face of the ancestor overlaps so strangely with one's own?

Because this was his ancestor's deepest and most indelible obsession! His grand ambition to restore the Han dynasty remained unfulfilled, his lofty aspiration to conquer the Central Plains remained unfulfilled…

This sense of unwillingness, this regret, this persistence is so intense, so pure!
So intensely, even after nearly two thousand years of erosion, even after enduring the "distortion" and "assimilation" of the vast and boundless "power of faith" of countless beings, it still stubbornly retains its core "truth"!
This is the true will of Zhuge Liang himself!
However, just as Zhuge Qing was filled with excitement and emotion...

A change that he hadn't anticipated, and could even be described as terrifying, happened!
In reality, Zhuge Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the [Divine Strategist], suddenly shuddered!
Life and death are interconnected; simply put, a person's physical and mental state influence each other.

Just as a person cannot be in good spirits when their body is tired, a person cannot be in good physical health when their mental state is poor.

Because of the existence of primordial Qi, the connection between life and death is even closer. For example, the divine mask can influence one's spirit through the power of faith, and may even bring about physical changes.

Therefore, when Zhuge Qing's memories synchronized with Kongming's, the [Innate Qi] within his body seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and began to operate on its own!
Its trajectory is exactly the same as the path of energy flow in the body when the ancestor performed the secret technique, as remembered!
The three treasures—the spirit of the upper elixir, the qi of the middle elixir, and the essence of the lower elixir—began to converge.

"Om-!"

Finally, a formless yet intensely hot and condensed blue flame suddenly appeared.

This is precisely the most profound and mysterious technique in the lineage of Zhuge Liang... Samadhi True Fire...

Zhuge Qing actually mastered it in such a bizarre way...

Moreover, after these three true flames appeared, they did not stop, but continued to operate.

The surrounding primordial energy began to flow uncontrollably into the flames...

……

On the other side, in the neighboring yard

Zhuge Gong was leisurely lying under the old locust tree in the courtyard, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, dozing off with his eyes half-closed, enjoying the rare coolness of the afternoon.

Suddenly, he frowned and abruptly opened his eyes.

His eyes were now gleaming with a sharp light, as keen as an eagle's, as if they could pierce through illusion.

He had already used the "Qimen Manifestation" technique, a secret method passed down by the Zhuge family.

"Ok?"

He let out a soft exclamation, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

The entire Zhuge Village, where the Wuhou School is located, is laid out in accordance with the principles of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. It is a huge Qi formation that combines nature and human intervention, constantly generating and operating, protecting this land of heritage.

However, at this moment, in his vision of [Qimen Manifestation], this Qi formation, which was usually stable and harmonious, and operated like a precision instrument, suddenly became chaotic, like a calm lake surface that had been hit by a boulder!
The primordial energy in the vicinity is frantically converging towards a certain part of the village in an almost "plundering" manner!

The speed and scale of that convergence were simply astonishing!
It was as if there was a bottomless black hole there, greedily devouring all the energy around it!
It's even on the verge of disrupting the balance of this Qi...

"What...what's going on?!"

Zhuge Gong suddenly stood up from the recliner, looking somewhat surprised and uncertain.

He looked in the direction where the Qi flowed and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Wait, that direction...

Isn't that the room where his precious son was in seclusion?!
