Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

In an instant, the courtyard fell completely silent.

Tang Zichen's eyes flickered, as if she had realized something: "Heaven and earth as a furnace? Could it be that the ultimate path ahead requires one to reshape oneself with the power of heaven and earth?"

"Can flesh and blood truly forge the mysteries of heaven and earth?"

Li Chenzhou said calmly, "Heaven and earth are like a furnace, in which all living beings are tormented. True cultivation lies in understanding that heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me. Therefore, one must rely on the power of heaven and earth."

The space within three zhang around him began to distort, and the moonlight bent beside him.

Before anyone could react, a burst of energy erupted from his body.

Fine beads of blood seeped from the pores, resembling glass.

A complete transformation, a metamorphosis!

Three breaths later, Tang Zichen sensed that Li Chenzhou's aura was perfectly harmonious and unobstructed, forming its own cycle.

"The flawless true form!" she said, each word distinct and clear, her voice like the clash of gold and jade, "Breaking through the void, revealing the indestructible divine form!"

Ba Liming, his beard and hair bristling, shouted: "Slay the Red Dragon, subdue the White Tiger, become a flawless immortal, attain enlightenment and see your true nature!"

The surrounding martial artists looked at each other in bewilderment; these profound terms were like a heavenly book to them.

"I never expected that this battle would lead you to take this step." Tang Zichen's tone was complicated.

Li Chenzhou suddenly clenched his fist, and the air in the entire courtyard seemed to be frozen in place by this punch.

This is not just simple power, but a kind of artistic conception that can suppress mountains and rivers, as if he could suppress the whole world with just one punch.

"It is indestructible even when seen by gods, and is not as hard as ordinary iron."

Li Chenzhou's voice resonated with the heavens and earth, "Instead, one should use one's body to create a sacred space and one's heart to transform into a Bodhisattva. Every part of the human body is a feng shui site, and every burial chamber contains the universe."

"This state of being can perhaps be called indestructible."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint halo of light appeared behind him.

This is not real light, but a manifestation of a spiritual magnetic field, like the halo of merit behind a Bodhisattva.

"A Bodhisattva's sacred space!" Tang Suiyun exclaimed in shock. "He has cultivated himself into a mobile sacred space."

In the past, when Li Chenzhou had accumulated invincible power, he once crippled the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty with three punches, but the two still came to watch the battle.

Only then did everyone realize that the feng shui of the place where Li Chenzhou was standing was quietly changing.

The once ordinary courtyard now appears to have a completely different atmosphere.

"The true meaning of indestructibility lies in embodying the Dao through one's own body."

Li Chenzhou's voice seemed to come from a distant void, "Every acupoint is a small universe, every inch of flesh and blood is a small world. The physical body forms its own feng shui pattern, and the mind can transform into a Bodhisattva's sacred space."

He took a light step, and the magnetic field of the entire courtyard fluctuated accordingly.

Each step brings forth a lotus, like a Bodhisattva walking among humans, changing the feng shui of the surrounding environment with every step.

Everyone immediately felt a sense of peace, and the hidden injuries left from their past martial arts training seemed to lessen in pain.

Several elderly martial artists felt their energy and blood rejuvenated, as if they had become ten years younger.

It is a kind of intoxicating tranquility, as warm and safe as returning to the womb.

However, amidst this peaceful scene, Ba Liming's expression suddenly changed.

He found himself completely devoid of fighting spirit; his former adventurous and combative nature had vanished without a trace.

What's even more terrifying is that deep down he couldn't even muster the thought of being Li Chenzhou's enemy, as if such a thought itself was a blasphemy.

Although he was Li Chenzhou's close friend and could not possibly be his enemy, it was two different things that he did not have such thoughts and that he was unwilling to act.

This aura can nourish all things and also enlighten all beings, causing people to lose themselves without realizing it.

I shook my head to calm myself down, and that feeling was finally driven away.

"What a terrifying realm!" Tang Zichen murmured to himself, "This is not only nourishment, but also an invisible transformation."

She was speechless with shock: "So that's how it is! When the physical body is cultivated to its ultimate state, it can actually create its own feng shui and change the magnetic field of heaven and earth!"

Li Chenzhou nodded slightly: "The human body is a microcosm, and the universe is a macrocosm. Those who are indestructible have transcended the mortal realm and merged with the Dao. Their fists can suppress mountains and rivers, and their hearts can transform into a Daoist temple. This is the true indestructible state."

"What... what kind of realm is this?" someone asked in a trembling voice, their voice filled with both longing and fear.

Tang Zichen stared blankly at Li Chenzhou, her gaze complex and unreadable: "Is this the path you've found?"

Li Chenzhou smiled calmly, a halo seemingly rotating behind him: "This is still not the path of ordinary people. Right now, I am only seeing the divine with my physical body and my mind. I will cultivate my mind to the point of 'subduing the monkey of the mind and tethering the wild horse of the will,' and thus attain the realm of seeing the Tathagata."

"If the road ahead ends here, how dare I use heaven and earth as my furnace!"

"Being indestructible is just the beginning; the real journey lies ahead."

……

Li Chenzhou is gone.

No one saw how he walked; with one step, he merged directly into the moonlight and disappeared.

Under the influence of his mental magnetic field, he can prevent anyone from seeing what he doesn't want to see.

His spiritual confrontation with Tang Zichen finally allowed him to glimpse the application of spiritual power.

Aside from the Reincarnation Watch, his greatest fortune was the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture, but he only obtained the general outline of this scripture, without any specific cultivation methods.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, although he said that he took the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture as his root and various Taoist scriptures and Tiger Form Divine Communication Technique as his leaves, strictly speaking, he still took the Tiger Form Divine Communication Technique as his main focus, which can be considered as entering the gate of cultivation.

After arriving in the world of dragons and snakes, he fought against almost all the top masters in the world, merging the martial arts of the two worlds and stepping into the true indestructible realm.

At this moment, his body was flawless and immaculate, and his mind was clear and transparent. Both his body and mind were "incorruptible upon seeing God".

This is true indestructibility, the realm of Tathagata, the limit that human martial artists can reach.

Even if the leader of God himself were to arrive, he would be no match for him at this moment.

The being who was called "God" had also achieved the feat of slaying the red dragon and subduing the white tiger in terms of physical cultivation, but he had not been able to cultivate his mind to a level that could influence the outside world like him.

But ultimately, this level is still not considered extraordinary.

Standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, Li Chenzhou's vision has long transcended the realm of ordinary martial arts.

His goal is to pave a true path to transcendence through spiritual practice.

This path must begin with the most fundamental practice: "fetal breathing".

Only by returning to one's innate nature can one transcend the shackles of acquired habits and move towards true longevity.

Under the illumination of his mind, Tang Zichen comprehended on his own acumen one layer of the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture, as well as the method of embryonic breathing cultivation after Vajra Indestructibility.

"The physical body is a prison, divine power is a demonic seed, and the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, body, and mind are the prison gates. Seal the prison gates, hone the demonic seed, and advance with fierce courage."

"The practice of embryonic breathing combines the power of the mind with the energy of heaven and earth to form a sacred embryo. Once the sacred embryo is formed, supernatural powers are attained."

Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no matter how powerful one's spiritual realm is, one will not possess supernatural powers. Even great sages of ancient times, such as Wang Yangming and Zhang Sanfeng, could only be mortals, no matter how high their spiritual realm was.

The Earth today also lacks the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, for Li Chenzhou, who had grasped part of the profound meaning of the Mysterious Embryo Scripture, it was not a difficult task.

By sheer chance, he found himself on a cultivation path in the world of dragons and snakes, decades later, when spiritual energy was revived.
