Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

If he were to start over again, he would have to use better medicinal materials next time to make them effective, and then he would become like Doctor Sun.

Things are a bit uncontrollable in Dali, and it would be bad if an accident happened.

After all, this involves my own path of cultivation. The medicinal materials for the [Seventh Zhoutian] are already so difficult to find, and I cannot make it more difficult for myself.

Therefore, the safest option is to go to a secluded place like Kunlun Valley and find your trusted subordinates to watch the fire.

…………

In Tianlong Temple, Jiang Weichen came to the Muni Hall again. Master Kurong was still sitting on the cushion facing the wall.

After Jiang Weichen broke through to the Grandmaster level, he came here again and looked at the clay statue, which exuded a sense of withering and flourishing.

It was just very weak. Jiang Weichen had previously used his spiritual power to investigate and only felt that there was life within it.

But now, I have also comprehended the mutated artistic conception of withering and flourishing, and can already sense the artistic conception of withering and flourishing emanating from the clay statue.

No wonder Master Kurong always sits in front of the clay statue, meditating on the wall. Some people are distracted by their thoughts, but he can achieve twice the result with half the effort by appreciating nature here.

Master Kuruo is quite talented. In the original novel, when Wuyazi was choosing his successor, he specifically asked whether he and Qiao Feng had gone.

It's a pity that he practiced the [Withering Zen Sutra], a martial art that requires comprehension before a breakthrough, and now he is only at the peak of the early stage of the Grandmaster.

It is extremely difficult to comprehend the artistic conception at the Grandmaster level, and the artistic conception is the key to the celestial realm.

What's more, Master Kurong chose the most difficult path: fellow practitioners of Kurong.

Jiang Weichen also comprehended the killing intent only through his emotions. Perhaps if he were given a few decades to comprehend it, he would be able to comprehend it at the Grandmaster level. However, there was no need to force himself not to break through in order to comprehend the intent in advance.

Chapter 363: Guiding Ku Rong

Jiang Weichen came up behind Master Kurong, bowed, and then said, "Master, I have been bothering you at Tianlong Temple for three months. Now it's time to say goodbye."

Master Kurong did not turn around. "Please make yourself at your own convenience, benefactor. I'm sorry I can't see you off any further."

Jiang Weichen looked at the skin on Ku Rong's neck, half of which was like the bark of an old tree, and the other half was as rosy as a baby's. He said, "For the past three months, Master, I have been so grateful for your guidance. I have a few words to say."

Master Ku Rong said calmly and unhurriedly, "Donor, please feel free to speak."

Jiang Weichen walked up to Kurong and said, "Master, it's difficult for you to comprehend Kurong's state of mind by just sitting in meditation. Master, if you want Kurong to comprehend it together, this path is even more difficult, almost impossible."

Master Kurong turned around and saw that Jiang Weichen was denying his way of cultivation. This was a bit hurtful. If his state of mind was affected by this, it would shake his faith.

The most important thing in perception is one's character. If one's belief is not firm, one may not achieve any results even if one practices for a lifetime. Master Kurong stared at Jiang Weichen, waiting for him to explain.

Jiang Weichen didn't care about Master Kurong's gaze, he just smiled back and continued, "All things carry the Yin and embrace the Yang, only when the day passes will the night come, and likewise only when the night passes will the day come.

The same is true for withering and flourishing. Without withering, how can there be flourishing? Without flourishing, how can there be withering?

The growth of all things follows this law, either they flourish first and then wither, or they wither first and then flourish.

The day will only dissolve the darkness of the night, and dryness will only cause all things to wither.

Day and night do not exist together, nor do withering and flourishing.

"Master, if you want to comprehend the realm of withering and flourishing, how can you reach the heaven in one step if your realm is not high enough? Therefore, you must comprehend it separately."

Master Kurong frowned. He tried to comprehend everything at once, which resulted in him being half-thriving and half-withered, and then making no progress at all.

Hearing Jiang Weichen's words, Master Ku Rong seemed to be thinking about something, but he still didn't understand clearly, so he asked: "Please teach me, how can I understand it separately?"

Jiang Weichen replied, "Master, I divide the concept of withering and flourishing into three stages: from 'flourish' to 'withering', from 'withering' to 'flourish', and the coexistence of withering and flourishing. I have some insights. Would you like to listen?"

This is Jiang Weichen's own understanding, which may not be suitable for Master Kuruo. Speaking it out may affect his subsequent cultivation direction, so he still has to ask.

"Withering and flourishing go hand in hand..." Master Kurong murmured. Did he skip the first two stages and enter the third stage?

Master Ku Rong's cultivation had not improved in many years. Upon hearing this, he stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to ask for advice: "Please teach me, benefactor."

Jiang Weichen nodded and said directly: "Withering and flourishing are like the two sides of life and death, and the symbol of these two sides is vitality. When vitality is strong, all things flourish; when vitality is weak, all things wither.

My way of understanding it is that if you want to comprehend the artistic conception of withering, you must disperse your vitality and enter a state of extinction, which is from "prosperity" to "withering".

Only in this state of extinction can one more deeply comprehend the artistic conception of withering, and ultimately, awaken from the extinction, and then comprehend the artistic conception of flourishing. This is the transition from "withering" to "flourish."

After fully understanding the artistic conception of Kurong, the [Kurong Zen Sutra] will naturally enter the grandmaster stage.

As for the coexistence of withering and flourishing, it is about finding a balance between withering and flourishing, or the conditions for their mutual transformation.

When the time comes, if I want to enter nirvana, then I will enter nirvana; if I want to revive, then I will revive.

If one comprehends it more deeply, one can even seize the vitality of human beings and all things and use it for one's own benefit."

Jiang Weichen finished speaking in one breath, then said, "This is just my humble opinion. I hope the master can understand it and repay you for your guidance during this period."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of being watched, a glance from his spiritual consciousness. He tilted his head to look at the clay figurine. Was Duan Siping awake? Or had he always been awake?

However, Jiang Weichen didn't care. His mind didn't warn him. Duan Siping either had no ill intentions or posed no threat to him. He was not a celestial being.

Master Kurong stood there in a daze, a thoughtful look on his face. After a long while, he asked, "Donor, if all life force is dissipated, then that person will be dead, right?"

Jiang Weichen nodded and shook his head, and replied: "Ordinary people who lose all vitality will definitely die, because their souls are weak, and they will die when their vitality dissipates.

But we are cultivators, our bodies and souls are much stronger than those of ordinary people, our bodies and souls are more harmonious, our life span has not yet ended, and all vitality has not dissipated. If we can seize this opportunity and finally realize it, then the lost vitality will return again.

This is like the scattered vitality being temporarily handed over to the heaven and earth for preservation. If one can comprehend it, one can forcibly retrieve it through perception. This may be the ray of hope that the heaven and earth have left for all things.

Master Kurong nodded thoughtfully and then asked, "What if I can't comprehend it?"

Jiang Weichen said directly: "If you can't grasp that glimmer of hope, you will naturally perish completely. Therefore, this method requires great courage and insight into the mysteries of life and death. It can be said to be a life-or-death struggle."

After Jiang Weichen finished speaking, he saw Master Ku Rong frowning and thinking, so he didn't interrupt him and turned away. He had said everything he wanted to say.

Jiang Weichen left, but Master Kurong couldn't calm down. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he hadn't made any progress in decades.

He practiced withering and flourishing together, which was equivalent to what Jiang Weichen said about the coexistence of night and day.

His half-dead, half-thriving state seemed a little out of place.

Master Kurong's expression kept changing, and even with his years of meditation experience he couldn't remain calm.

At this moment, a voice came from the clay statue: "Who is that person?"

Master Ku Rong was shocked. The ancestor had awakened? For decades, the ancestor had never awakened on his own initiative.

Ku Rong quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Ancestor, this person suddenly appeared in the past two years. He has great martial arts skills and amazing medical skills."

"His martial arts skills are indeed very strong. He was only a half-step grandmaster before, but now he has reached the grandmaster level."

A voice emanated from the clay. Master Ku Rong was stunned. Grandmaster? Another Grandmaster was born in the martial arts world?

Ku Rong said quickly: "Ancestor, Murong Longcheng came out of the mountains and destroyed the Song Dynasty, changing it to the Great Yan.

Yet, our Dali still hasn't produced a Grand Master. May I ask our ancestors, where should our Dali go from here? "

Although he has become a monk, the current situation in the martial arts world is complicated and he does not know what the fate of Dali will be.

The strength of Tianlong Temple is not enough for Dali to rest assured.

There was no sound coming from the clay, and Master Ku Rong thought that the ancestor had fallen into silence again, but a voice came from the clay again:

“The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is insufficient, I cannot break through to the celestial realm, and my life span is short.

The man just now changed his appearance. You can ask someone to check his identity. Since you have a good connection with him, you can try to win him over.

Besides, he is right. It is too difficult for you to practice with Kurong, and it is impossible for you to succeed.

If you are determined to dissipate your vitality, with your years of understanding, there is a slight chance of revival. Then, with the artistic conception you have gained and the special properties of the [Withering and Flourishing Zen Sutra], you can quickly enter the realm of Grandmaster.

Master Kurong nodded. It turned out that Xuan Chenzi was not his real name but a disguised appearance, but he didn't even realize it.

Chapter 364: Recent Situation of the Supreme Alliance

Master Kurong pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind, "Ancestor, I will arrange my funeral arrangements and then enter the state of nirvana. If I fail, I will die."

A faint voice came from the clay statue: "Well, after listening to his words this time, I have also realized something. I will remain silent again. Don't let anyone disturb me."

The man said that if one deeply comprehends the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, one may be able to seize the vitality of all things and use it for one's own benefit, which touched him.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is not enough for him to break through. Can he try to absorb the vitality of all things to break through?

Kurong bowed and agreed, but then he heard his ancestor's voice come over, "Find out that person's identity as soon as possible and don't provoke him. I just scanned him with my spiritual sense and found that he is surrounded by evil spirits. He has at least hundreds of thousands of lives on his hands."

He was so shocked when he first discovered it that he didn't notice it.

Master Kurong was shocked. Hundreds of thousands of lives? How murderous must that be? Could it be that the rumors were true, and he was saving people to atone for his sins?

"Ancestor, could they be generals from other countries' armies?" Ku Rong was puzzled. Apart from killing on the battlefield, no one would normally kill so many people, but there have been no major wars in recent years.

"No, he doesn't have the aura of a general. Although a general will have a bad aura if he kills too many people, he doesn't kill with his own hands. His subordinates will share the responsibility.

The evil aura on his body was so thick that it almost materialized, which showed that he had killed hundreds of thousands of people with his own hands.

Ku Rong was horrified. What kind of demon was this who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people with his own hands? However, he should be able to sense such a strong evil aura.

"Ancestor, why don't I sense any evil energy from him? Instead, I feel a friendly aura."

"His spiritual realm is too high. The peaceful aura surrounding him masks the evil aura, so you naturally cannot sense it."

Master Kurong was surprised that such a terrifying evil spirit could be concealed by the state of mind. Even he, who was at the Grandmaster level, could not feel it. His state of mind was really strong.

…………

Jiang Weichen left the capital of Dali, thought for a while before leaving, and went to Wuliang Mountain again.

The Wuliang Sword Sect was the first to obtain the incomplete copy of the Beiming Divine Art. Now it has seven or eight innate masters, four or five of which are pseudo-innate masters who were improved by absorbing other people's true qi.

But this strength is pretty good. He came here once six or seven years ago, and now they are developing again.

Moreover, they actually took refuge with Wang Yuyan. Sure enough, the jade statue carved by Wuyazi did play a role.

After Wang Yuyan, who was no different from Li Canghai, appeared, she became the object of their loyalty.

Originally, only Duan Yu was obsessed with it, but now a group of people who have worshipped the jade statue are also obsessed with it.

Zuo Zimu and others moved the jade statue up and enshrined it in the ancestral temple, and the impact on them was even deeper than that on Duan Yu.

Jiang Weichen felt that Zuo Zimu and the others were not far from death. If someone was obsessed with them, Wang Yuyan might not be disgusted, but would be happy instead.

But how would Murong Fu feel, a group of men obsessed with his soon-to-be wife.

Given Murong Fu's current mentality, Zuo Zimu himself will undoubtedly die, and given Wang Yuyan's personality, she will not plead for them.

Jiang Weichen didn't meddle in other people's business. He spent three days in Wuliang Mountain before he found the Mangku Zhuha in the forest.
