Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

Chapter 406 The Art of Breathing! (Second Update)

"Uncle-Master, I understand."

Liu Dongyang said with a frustrated expression.

Why does this stinky uncle-master always enjoy badmouthing them?

"Senior, why didn't Zhuge Liang ascend to immortality?"

Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Although his dedication to restoring the Han Dynasty was a factor, it is still somewhat strange that Zhuge Liang, with his wisdom, could not ascend to immortality.

"Young friend, ascension is not so simple. Zhuge Liang did not ascend because he was distracted. His goal was to restore the Han Dynasty, so..."

Otherwise, with Zhuge Liang's abilities, he might have already ascended to immortality. It's a pity about the Zhuge family's Samadhi True Fire; few in the Zhuge family know it now. However, Zhuge Liang's extraordinary skills alone are enough to amaze people.

Xuan Yangzi chuckled.

"Uncle-Master, is the Wuhou Qimen technique very powerful?"

Liu Dongyang was also extremely curious.

"That's natural. Ordinary Qimen Dunjia can only use the opponent as a reference point to set up the chart, but Wuhou Qimen Dunjia can ignore all of that and set up the chart with itself as the center."

Therefore, when facing multiple enemies, they definitely have an advantage over ordinary Qimen Dunjia. However, the "Shu" school is not limited to Qimen Dunjia; Liuyao magic is their foundation.

Xuan Yangzi continued.

"I see."

Fang Dongtian nodded slightly.

No wonder.

"By the way, senior, is innate Qi something that is inherited from one's parents?"

Chen Yuan asked questions as he looked around.

He felt he still didn't understand enough about cultivation, after all, the "Reversal of Eight Directions" technique he learned from Ghost Hand King was not, in theory, a means to improve one's life cultivation.

Reversing the eight directions can only be used as a technique.

Xuanmen techniques are his current foundation, especially the Reverse Life Triple Technique, which can be said to be one of his current foundations, while Reversing the Eight Directions is the technique he is most proficient in using.

Therefore, he still needs someone to guide him in his spiritual practice.

That's why most people choose to join a sect, because the teacher can teach them how to cultivate themselves.

"Hehe, young friend, not bad. In addition to inheriting the flesh and blood given by your parents, life also inherits the life energy of the previous generation—the primordial Qi."

This energy allows the inheritor to grow, to think, and to transform from a walking corpse into a sentient being with self-awareness. However, it is also its disappearance that causes the inheritor to rely on other forms of energy, namely the acquired energy produced from grains, which can only delay the disappearance of energy until the innate energy is exhausted and the inheritor dies.

Therefore, the Buddhist mental cultivation methods, the Sanyi School's reverse rebirth, the internal alchemy of the Tianshi Mansion and Shangqing School, and our Quanzhen alchemy are all actually means of pursuing infinite life.

Therefore, the ability to perceive the existence of primordial Qi becomes the primary criterion for judging extraordinary individuals. In fact, everyone possesses primordial Qi; it is an important component of both the body and soul. However, only those who, under proper guidance, develop a certain sensitivity to Qi possess the qualifications to become extraordinary individuals.

Xuan Yangzi spoke eloquently.

As a master of Taoism, his knowledge reserves are naturally beyond question.

"I've learned a lot, young man."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"However, having Qi perception alone does not make one a true extraordinary person; mastering the 'methods' is of utmost importance."

Xuan Yangzi said with a smile.

"Methods?"

Chen Yuan stroked his chin.

That's really the case. According to the standards for superhumans in the modern version, in addition to being able to sense innate Qi, mastering supernatural abilities is also crucial.

Whether it is an innate ability or an acquired ability.

"Everyone knows that the crescent moon and three stars represent the mind, but few people may notice that seeing the monkey is like seeing the pine tree, which is how one enters the gate of cultivation. One becomes a pine tree and then emerges as a master of cultivation. Relaxation and free movement, and adjusting one's breathing are the introductory lessons for all schools of cultivation."

Obtaining Qi is one thing, but mastering breathing alone doesn't equate to truly attaining it. Take "Journey to the West" as an example: entering the Three Star Cave isn't enough to cultivate Qi and blood; one must also undergo five years of foundation building and seven years of meditation before being qualified to enter the inner sanctum. In other words, having perseverance alone isn't enough; one must also apply that perseverance in the right way to truly enter the realm of extraordinary individuals.

So what is obtaining Qi? It means cultivating both body and mind. In addition to the physical body, one must constantly refine Qi, training it into various controllable and abstract forms, and being able to freely mobilize the Qi and blood. This shaping process is to avoid the powerful spells encountered in various cultivations—transformations.

Although different schools of thought differ in their application of Qi, the underlying principles are the same. This explains why Sun Wukong in *Journey to the West*, after obtaining the incantation, naturally mastered all seventy-two techniques. In contrast to practitioners who deliberately shape their Qi into various useful forms, the ordinary person's Qi flow naturally with life activities. While this flow cannot generate supernatural abilities, it continuously maintains the body's vitality.

Xuan Yangzi continued to smile.

He naturally saw through Chen Yuan's little scheme; this kid wanted to learn the Xuanmen Qi Refining experience from him.

After all, this kid doesn't have a master.

Although I learned the Reverse Life Triple Technique from Zuo Ruotong, well, I didn't have anyone to guide me.

"I have learned a lot from you."

Chen Yuan chuckled. He had to admit, this old Taoist priest was quite a remarkable person.

"Uncle-Master, so that's how it is."

Fang Dongtian suddenly realized.

No wonder……

He finally resolved some of the difficulties he had encountered during his previous spiritual practice.

Swish!

At this moment, powerful natural energy was flowing rapidly around the bodies of Zhuge Yunlan and Hu Haiwang, indicating that the two had made rapid progress in recent years.

Both of them had a profound understanding of the precise control over the laws of heaven and earth.

"Brother Hu, please accept my challenge!"

Zhuge Yunlan made a hand seal, and the next second, a crimson flame suddenly erupted and rushed towards Hu Haiwang's body at high speed.

It is indeed the character "离" (Li) and the color "赤龍" (Chi Lian)!

"Good timing!"

Seeing this, Hu Haiwang remained calm and formed a hand seal, causing polygonal golden crystals to appear around his body.

It is the power of the Six Harmonies Divine Power among the Eight Deceitful Gods.

"It seems that without using the Xun character technique, it will be very difficult to defeat this person."

Zhuge Yunlan pondered in his heart.

He could naturally see that Hu Haiwang's magic was already quite advanced, even extremely powerful.

However, his most proficient technique is the Xun character technique, not the Li character technique.

Swish!

At this moment, powerful wind elemental forces rapidly condensed within the magic array, transforming into several wind ropes that coiled around Hu Haiwang like lightning.

"interesting."

Hu Haiwang remained completely unperturbed upon seeing this.

After all, he's not someone to be trifled with.

"Yagami's Power - White Tiger!"

At the same time, white flames appeared on Zhuge Yunlan's hands, and with a sudden stomp of her left foot, she shot towards Hu Haiwang like a cannonball.

The children of the Zhuge family naturally cultivate both their inner and outer strength. Bajiquan and Tongzigong are also essential training methods for them. When combined with Bajiquan, the power of the Eight Divine Forces - White Tiger is doubled.

Chapter 407 Is He Chen Yuan? (First Update)

"Thunderbolt! Get back!"

Hu Haiwang placed his hands in front of his chest, and the Qimen formation under his feet rotated. At this moment, streaks of blue and white electric arcs burst out from his body in all directions.

The thunder comes fiercely, riding on the strength.

The Zhen character technique was incredibly powerful, instantly shattering Zhuge Yunlan's wind ropes, and arcs of electricity surged towards Zhuge Yunlan as she approached.

"What a brilliant Zhen character technique! Dui character - Black Glazed Glass!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Yunlan remained completely calm. His hands suddenly turned into black glass, tearing through the lightning power and grabbing at Hu Haiwang's shoulder with lightning speed.

"Good grief! I surrender!"

Seeing this, Hu Haiwang hurriedly used the Eight Gates Transporting Technique, and a black hole appeared behind him. He quickly crawled into it.

Zhuge Yunlan's Qimen skills are indeed superior to his. This Wuhou Qimen is far more powerful than ordinary Qimen. I can't compare.

They have no chance of fighting unless they use the Six Lines Divination Technique.

However, since the two are just having a simple sparring session, there is no need for him to use his trump card.

After all, he came to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to make a name for himself in the competition, not to reveal his trump cards when sparring with others down the mountain.

Then we won't be able to get a good ranking.

His master, Master Hutu, had said that the top ten in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony would receive generous rewards, and he didn't want to miss out.

"This kid just gave up like that?"

Seeing this, Fang Dongtian couldn't help but mutter something.

These two don't seem to have fought much.

"You know nothing, kid. The best thing about sorcerers is calculating other people's weaknesses. Just now, that kid from the 'Shu' sect was already at a disadvantage in the art of Qimen Dunjia."

His abilities are clearly inferior to those of the Zhuge family's young man, and this young man from the "Art of Techniques" sect is probably intentionally hiding his trump cards, hoping to shine brightly at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Xuan Yangzi snorted.

"So that's how it is, Uncle-Master."

Fang Dongtian looked like he had learned something.

"That's really true."
