Chapter 64 Qimen Dunjia

The sky was overcast, with no stars or moon in sight, and it was so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.

It was late autumn, and the air in the mountains was damp and cold, carrying a chill that went straight to the bone.

The mountain path was difficult to walk on at night, but at this moment, an old man and a young boy were walking briskly through the mountains.

Although it's no longer possible to cultivate internal strength in this era, they have embarked on a different path. They communicate with their bodies through their minds, harmonizing yin and yang, thus continuously increasing their physical abilities.

These cultivators may not be the most formidable fighters, but each of them possesses a long and powerful energy flow, is as fast as a galloping horse, and as swift as a monkey.

What is an insurmountable barrier for ordinary people is something they can easily overcome.

An old man and a young boy wandered further and further into the mountains, until finally there was no path left, and they began to leap between tree branches and vines.

Many parkour experts can do this move, but none can do it as effortlessly as they do.

Soon, they traversed a long distance and arrived at a stone wall deep in the mountains.

It was a stone wall about ten feet high, dark brown in color, and incredibly smooth, without any wild grass or vines.

Strangely, despite the stone wall's conspicuousness and the fact that its outline could be vaguely seen even in the darkness of the night, there was no trace of it until they got close enough to see it.

The stone wall only appeared suddenly after we crossed a certain area, which was incredibly strange.

However, neither the old man nor the young man found it strange. It was amazing to ordinary people, and even to them, but they were not completely ignorant.

The reason it is so magical is that it has been set up with Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and strategy).

Qimen Dunjia is a lost art, or rather, in this degenerate age, no one can practice it anymore.

According to existing records, Qimen Dunjia uses the Eight Trigrams to record directions, uses one of the Ten Heavenly Stems to conceal directions, and uses the Nine Palaces to record the interplay of celestial and terrestrial phenomena. It uses the Eight Gates to record human affairs and the Nine Stars and Eight Gods to record the surrounding environment.

Qimen Dunjia involves changes in time and space. Once it is used, life, death, fortune, and misfortune can be reversed in all directions. It contains the mysteries of the universe's time and space alternation, which cannot be mastered by anyone but the gods!

"Celestial Being" was an ancient term used to refer to the strongest beings who stood at the pinnacle of human existence.

Although they are still human, they have already connected with the heavens. Some call them immortals, and some call them saints.

One emperor in a hundred years, one sage in a thousand!

The lifespan of celestial beings can extend for thousands of years, even exceeding the length of a dynasty. The term "a saint for all ages" was tailor-made for them.

It's not that only one saint appears in a thousand years of human history, but that one saint can live for a thousand years!

Eight hundred years ago, the founder of the Yuqing lineage was the last celestial being in the human world.

Since two thousand years ago, the world has changed, and no one in the world has been able to prove the way of heaven and man. No matter how talented they are, in the end they can only turn into a handful of yellow earth.

The reason why the founder of the Yuqing lineage was a celestial being was not for any other reason than that he lived long enough, a full twelve hundred years!

He was a celestial being from before the changes in heaven and earth, so he was not restricted by heaven and earth.

As the world changes and time passes, the power of the Qimen Dunjia set up by the Jade Purity Ancestor has been reduced to almost nothing.

Eight hundred years ago, when this Qimen Dunjia system was in operation, Yin and Yang were reversed and time and space were in chaos, making it difficult for celestial beings and humans to enter.

Now, however, only a few tricks remain, which may seem magical to ordinary people, but in reality, they have lost their essence.

The old Taoist priest arrived in front of the stone wall, first bowing three times in the air, then taking out a box from his pocket, opening the box, and revealing four ancient copper coins.

The old Taoist priest took the copper coin out of the box, held it in his hand, looked around, observed it for a while, and then threw the copper coin out.

The copper coins scattered, and then lightning suddenly flashed in the air. Immediately afterwards, four thin bolts of lightning struck the copper coins, melting them away.

This scene is remarkably similar to the thunder magic recorded in many Taoist scriptures; divine thunder descends from the sky—this is thunder magic.

But in reality, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipates, the so-called thunder magic has long lost its former power.

These four bolts of lightning were merely the result of the distorted magnetic field of the earth and sky in this place, caused by the Qimen Dunjia method, which had accumulated a large amount of positive and negative charges. Once activated, they produced an effect similar to thunder magic.

Qimen Dunjia itself is a supernatural power rooted in the magnetic field of heaven and earth. In ancient times, Qimen Dunjia was based on the magnetic field of heaven and earth to construct its principles and attract spiritual energy. The magnetic field of heaven and earth is so vast that it is almost endless and limitless. Based on this power, it naturally has the terrifying power to reverse yin and yang and spacetime.

In this day and age, spiritual energy has dissipated, like an engine without gasoline. Although the magnetic field of heaven and earth still exists, only an empty shell remains.

As four bolts of lightning flashed, it was as if a key had been activated. The once seamless stone wall suddenly shattered, revealing countless cracks. Then, near the ground, it split open, revealing a passage about ten feet high.

"You Ran, come with me!"

Seeing that everything was just as the secret had described, the old Taoist priest's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Since Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein 800 years ago, no extraordinary beings have been born in the world. Even in the present world, the closest person to being extraordinary, the old Celestial Master, passed away not long ago.

And now, their Yuqing lineage may soon give birth to the world's first extraordinary being.

Although the old Taoist priest was not highly accomplished, the wisdom he had accumulated over the years allowed him to vaguely foresee some things. In this era, everything might be turned upside down, and even the Industrial Revolution, which changed the course of the world, could not compare to this era.

In this great era, the most important thing is not anything else, but seizing the initiative.

Although the first and second are only one step apart, their meanings are completely different.

Just like the emperor and the crown prince are only one step apart, they are completely incomparable.

At the top of the passage, white fluorite was inlaid, dispelling the darkness.

An old man and a young man walked in one after the other and quickly disappeared into the passage.

"Qimen Dunjia?!"

"interesting!"

In the darkness, Chu Ming stood atop a large tree, his entire weight supported by a single thin branch.

He followed the chilling aura and unexpectedly encountered the Qimen Dunjia, a system of divination that only existed in ancient texts. Although the Qimen Dunjia here was just an empty shell and no longer possessed its former power, the absence of spiritual energy made the workings of the Qimen Dunjia even clearer.

With Chu Ming's current profound understanding of the two paths of mind and spirit, his eyes were opened after observing the scene. In particular, the changes that occurred when the old Taoist used copper coins to break through the Qimen Dunjia formation and then collapsed gave Chu Ming a new understanding of martial arts.

Observing the extreme changes in the magnetic field of heaven and earth, Chu Ming vaguely sensed a bit of the artistic conception of heaven and earth being like a furnace.

This insight alone made Chu Ming's trip worthwhile.
