Witch, please have some self-respect!

Chapter 78 Establishing the Everlasting and Immortal Dao Seed! (Two chapters combined into one, please subscribe!!!)

The generation of Liu's great-grandfather was once an inner disciple of the Holy Sect.

Moreover, he stood out from tens of thousands of inner disciples and was ranked among the top 100 outstanding disciples of the inner sect.

Discovering this true intention was a serendipitous encounter of my great-grandfather.

While on a mission, Da Huang accidentally stumbled upon an extremely special treasure land.

There were quite a few people involved, and after a fierce battle, only my great-grandfather survived, but he was also seriously injured.

Just when he thought he could inherit everything in the treasure land, everything around him suddenly vanished.

The sky and the earth, lifeless corpses, spiritual medicines, treasures, and divine iron all slowly disappeared like bubbles.

The most precious True Meaning Inheritance Diagram at the very top was also slowly dissipating, making him think that everything was an illusion.

That's unreasonable.

Those who died were definitely not illusions; they were all beloved fellow disciples. How could they have vanished?

Great-grandfather reluctantly took down the true intention, wanting to at least see it one last time before it dissipated.

But then I suddenly realized that once I held the item in my hand, it wouldn't disappear.

When he came to his senses, he tried to grab something else, but it was too late; he only managed to gather one precious artifact.

On his way home, he was chased by a monster. When he returned home, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He passed on the items to his young son and then passed away.

Unfortunately, his son was of average talent and failed to grasp the true meaning. He later died in the Great Wilderness with the treasure.

The true intentions were left at home and passed to Xiaotongtong's father, where they became a hot potato.

It's true that selling antiques can improve the lives of ordinary families.

But when his family owns a gold mine submerged in oil, that becomes a disaster, because he can't sell it.

Its value is too high; anyone who finds out will have ulterior motives.

So it was kept all this time, and now it's back in Shen Yun's hands.

A family can decline in just three generations.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Shen Yun understood the reason and breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that no one has searched for it for over a hundred years shows that it was well hidden and no one knew that the Liu family had true intentions.

He carefully took out the jade box, inside which lay a scroll and a manual.

The manual is a record of Tongtong's grandfather and father's years of searching for the true meaning of things, and their own understanding of that true meaning.

I'm ignoring the manual for now.

Shen Yun couldn't wait to unroll the scroll, eager to see what the legendary true intention looked like.

Inside, a painting depicts an ancient tree reaching to the sky.

Its root system resembles the legendary Great Toon Tree, intertwined and intertwined, taking root in the earth to draw life; its trunk is like the Jianmu Tree, piercing straight into the clouds, hundreds of feet high without branches, with only a few branches and leaves at the top, connecting with the laws and patterns of heaven and earth.

The seven large characters on the side read "The Everlasting and Immortal Dao Seed of Jianchun".

"Jianmu! Dachun! Dao Seed!"

Looking at this true intention, the two ancient trees that had only existed in legends in his previous life kept resonating in Shen Yun's heart.

Its roots inherit the longevity of the great cedar tree, and its branches are joined by the spirit of the Jianmu tree!

Just from these two names, Shen Yun felt that this painting was not simple.

However, not everyone can grasp the true intention.

At the very least, Shen Yun didn't understand anything and had no idea what was hidden beneath the picture.

It's like entering a treasure trove and leaving empty-handed.

After studying it for half an hour, they discovered that the scroll was very sturdy and could withstand water and fire.

Even when Shen Yun used all his strength, applying three times the force to nearly ten thousand jin, he couldn't damage the painting in the slightest.

Nothing else was found.

Even after three generations of the Liu family had failed to fully comprehend it, Shen Yun stopped looking at it, rolled up the scroll again, and put it back into the jade box.

He took out the booklet from the jade box and began to study it.

The booklet records the various methods the Liu family has sought out over the years, both openly and secretly, to comprehend and inherit the true meaning of the teachings.

Shen Yun browsed through the booklet and found that the term "ancestral aperture" was mentioned most often.

There is no practitioner who is unaware of the concept of "ancestral aperture".

It also has many other names such as Xuanqiao, Xuanzhazhimen, Gushen, and Tiandigen.

This aperture is extremely mysterious; it is neither inside nor outside the body, and it is an intangible thing that cannot be found.

Born from nothingness, sought from chaos, and obtained from emptiness, yet it is intimately connected with the cultivator himself.

Once a person "gets an epiphany," they will make significant progress in whatever they do.

This "aperture" refers to the ancestral aperture.

Once this aperture is opened, all apertures open, and all 84,000 pores and 360 joints of the body burst open simultaneously, allowing all meridians to flow smoothly, making cultivation seem divinely aided.

After ascending to godhood, one can further develop extraordinary supernatural powers.

Another theory suggests that it was the primordial origin before the birth of all things in heaven and earth.

The origin of all spirits is called the ancestral aperture.

Flowers, birds, fish, insects, the sun, the moon, mountains, and rivers—as long as they are born with intelligence, they all possess an ancestral aperture.

It is the embodiment of a living being's essence, energy, spirit, the methods it has mastered, its innate foundation in the Dao, its worldly experiences... everything.

Therefore, the ancestral aperture is difficult to open, and even more difficult to cultivate!

The true intention is to open the ancestral aperture.

This picture can activate the ancestral aperture, and the true meaning is reflected in the eyes. It is said that visualization can open the ancestral aperture.

There are no people who can "see the true intention and be enlightened" unless they are particularly compatible.

"One must also condense one's own true meaning and cultivate the foundation of cultivation within one's body," so as to connect true meaning with true intention.

Under the combined attack from both inside and outside, the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows is opened.

At first glance, Shen Yun felt it was a contradiction.

"If I have genuine intentions, do I still need genuine intentions?"

The purpose of opening the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows is to obtain the true meaning; without the true meaning, there is no way to open the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows.

This forms a closed loop.

Just like when Shen Yun had just graduated in his previous life, some companies recruited fresh graduates, requiring two to three years of work experience.

If you start working, you're no longer a recent graduate; if you don't work, you lack work experience.

"So, how can true meaning arise before the ancestral aperture is opened?"

Shen Yun studied the booklet carefully and actually found a method.

It looks very simple.

Refining a method to perfection and its ultimate form signifies that the cultivator's understanding, will, and spirit have all been honed to their peak.

In this way, one can grasp some of the true meaning.

In reality, many people have reached their limit when they reach the highest level of mastery, and very few people can truly perfect their skills.

Shen Yun understood; this test was about comprehension.

Fortunately, Shen Yun has the talent for comprehension.

Without true intention, and without opening one's ancestral aperture, even if one comprehends true intention, one lacks the method to guide its growth and application.

It's like having vital energy but no martial arts techniques or combat methods; you simply can't unleash your full potential.

The true intention is the method of cultivation that uses the true intention and can also strengthen the true intention.

Shen Yun looked at the section for his hobbies and skills.

【人道符师（一阶5533/10W）、灵植师（学徒318/1000）、紫雷呼吸法（大成1588/1W）、滚石诀（小成840/1000）、敛息诀（大成5500/1W）、气血凝丝诀（大成6800/1W）...】

The Purple Thunder Breathing Technique is still far from perfect. Even with all the daily exclusive and general techniques added, and diligent practice, it will take at least three months to reach perfection.

Shen Yun took a liking to the "Qi and Blood Condensation Technique".

Only 3200 progress points away, this progress on the Condensing Silk Technique is easy to farm.

Unlike breathing techniques and martial arts, which require you to practice them once to increase your progress.

When Shen Yun was carving talismans and array plates, he constantly used the technique of condensing blood and qi, increasing his progress by at least sixty points a day.

The price increases the fastest when the seal is being engraved on the array plate.

If you practice this skill all day long, it's not a problem to increase your progress by three to five times.

Three or four hundred a day, only ten days.

"Try building up this Qi and Blood Condensation Technique first. If that doesn't work, try the Purple Thunder Breathing Technique, the Rolling Stone Technique, and the Breath Condensation Technique. I don't believe it won't work once you've mastered them all."

Shen Yun secretly set a goal.

Looking back, most of the works were mundane crafts, but the closest to perfection was the carving among mundane crafts.

【Sculpture (Da Cheng 9200/1W)】

He carves source stones and array plates every day, and often practices on stones. His skills have improved incredibly fast.

Sometimes we make several hundred progress points a day.

However, Shen Yun felt that this mundane skill probably wouldn't be of much use to the Jianchun diagram.

It's almost perfect on both sides; we can try it out later.

Shen Yun plans to focus on engraving array plates in the coming days to improve his "Qi and Blood Condensation Technique".

When I get tired, I carve things out of stones.

That sincere intention greatly inspired Shen Yun, and he was full of energy in the following days.

Shen Yun appeared on the deck chair in the yard much less often.

They started to take better care of Tongtong.

Every time he buys spirit rice, spirit meat, and spirit fruit, he sends a portion over. Shen Yun also plans to take care of the cultivation techniques after he turns fifteen.

Even if her talent is a little lacking, we'll still promote her into the Holy Sect.

The true intention is worthwhile!

In the letter left by Qiaoniang, it was mentioned that Tongtong only knew that it was a family heirloom, but did not know what it was.

If Qiaoniang dies, no one in the world will know the existence of this true intention.

Shen Yun can rest assured.

True intentions are too precious.

The fewer people who know, the safer it is.

The next few days.

With Shen Yun going all out, the speed of "Qi and Blood Condensation Silk Technique" increased by a staggering three hundred times per day.

The carving technique is nearing perfection.

That afternoon, Shen Yun was carving an array in his quiet room when someone came to visit.

She is a Valkyrie.

A month and a half later, I saw that elegant and cool Valkyrie again.

She was exceptionally tall; standing in the courtyard, everything else looked small and delicate.

She is truly an extraordinary woman.

The petite Mianzhi stood in front of the kitchen, looking up at the Valkyrie.

She froze for a moment, her almond-shaped eyes wide with shock.

What a tall, big woman!

"Uncle Shen, you look even younger."

Shen Yun walked out of the meditation room. The Valkyrie turned around and looked at him, raising an eyebrow and saying in surprise.

"Since coming to the holy city, I have indeed become younger and younger."

Shen Yun touched his face, which was almost wrinkle-free. He was too lazy to put on makeup and change his appearance since he wasn't going out.

In the past month and a half, he has made rapid progress and changed significantly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Yun learned that the Feng Lei and Feng Dian brothers hadn't come because they had suffered minor injuries.

Shen Yun asked with concern, "How are you? Is it serious?"

"It's alright, it's normal to get injured while hunting in the wilderness."

The two chatted for a few minutes about the situation in the Great Wilderness.

The Valkyrie said decisively, "Uncle Shen, you must have heard about the demon race. We need runestones, a lot of runestones."

From the Valkyrie, Shen Yun learned that after the demon race also started using runes, the Great Wilderness was consuming even more resources in battles.

At the same level, the demon race uses runes, but you don't, so you can't defeat them.

The demon race uses the best equipment, while you use the ordinary equipment; you still can't win.

In the life-or-death struggles of the Great Wilderness, there is no fairness. It's not just about strength anymore; it also comes down to resources and wealth.

Even with the above-down approach, there are cases of things going wrong.

Most importantly, there are fewer and fewer lone monsters and savage beasts in the Great Wilderness now; they appear in small teams, and there are even monster teams that can fight against top-tier teams like the Valkyrie.

The hunting between humans and demons has become increasingly intense and formalized.

They gradually formed a tacit understanding, and the Blood Sea Realm basically concentrated their fighting in the vicinity of the Golden Rock Mountains and Golden Light City.

The Body Nourishing Realm can appear in any other place.

Both sides tacitly agreed not to allow anyone above the Blood Sea Realm to slaughter someone in the Body Nourishing Realm.

"Isn't the Azure Nether Immortal Treasure Palace opening in the next few days? There shouldn't be a shortage then!"

Shen Yun asked curiously.

These days, fewer people are coming to him to buy high-quality runes; most people in the Holy City are just watching and waiting.

Many people believe that once the Cangming Immortal Treasure Palace opens, talisman stones might become cheaper.

"Uncle Shen, Xianbao Pavilion is not a charity."

When the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Wu Rou's eyes, and her hand involuntarily reached for the axe.

"I have received confirmation that in the Immortal Treasure Palace, a common runestone costs one five-source stone, an attribute runestone costs ten source stones, and a superior one costs three times the price, plus there's a daily limit!"

Shen Yun thought he had misheard. It was almost double the original price! "Are they taking advantage of a crisis?!"

"They don't even make as much as robbers!" Wu Rou sneered.

The Azure Netherworld Immortal Treasure Palace's behavior is too disgusting; they're planning to profit from the war.

Shen Yun asked doubtfully, "Would the sect allow them to do this?"

"What can we do if we can't tolerate it? The Cangming Immortal Treasure Palace is backed by one of the Thirteen Immortal Clans of the Holy Evolution, and they haven't really broken the rules."

A rare look of helplessness appeared on Wu Rou's face, and she sighed.
