Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Taoist Qingyun's face turned bitter. He came to the grave, bowed, and apologized, "Jiang boy, it was me. I shouldn't have buried you today. It's all my fault.

If you have any unresolved wishes or unfulfilled wishes, just tell me directly, and I will definitely help you accomplish them..."

Inside the tomb, after the pain subsided a little, Jiang Weichen realized the source of the pain.

His soul is now too weak to leave his body, and it will dissipate once it leaves his body.

Even the slightest breeze from the outside world would be like a burning flame to the soul. His consciousness was still there, and he had already recalled his soul through communication.

But his body was withering and his soul was about to leave his body as soon as he was recalled, which made him helpless. He could only rely on his consciousness to barely bind it in his body.

However, he discovered that his spiritual awareness had grown slightly. Feeling the Dao rhyme emanating from the Dao Palace, it could actually keep his soul from dissipating, allowing it to continuously strengthen between dissipation and solidification.

If his soul is tempered a few more times, will it be able to reach the level of night wandering?

Moreover, his soul was strong, and his cultivation could be accelerated. As long as he had enough energy, he could quickly break through to the peak of Grandmaster without having to rely on slow and steady cultivation.

Just thinking about the pain of having his heart eaten by thousands of ants and his body burned by flames made him shudder.

And the most important thing now is not the strength of his soul, but that his body has become withered and his soul and body cannot be united.

Now he can only hold on to the soul by relying on the immortality of his spiritual consciousness.

How can I revive my body when it is dead? I can't put my consciousness back in it because I am still seriously injured.

The original true energy of the Heavenly Silkworm was exhausted, and the essence and spirit injected by Murong Longcheng detonated all the meridians, making it impossible to practice and recover.

The [Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art] he practiced was different from the [Heavenly Silkworm Transformation] passed down to Xiao Feng.

[Heavenly Silkworm Magical Art] The first five cycles are all about strengthening the original true qi and nurturing the transformation through introductory medicinal baths and the Heavenly Silkworm visualization method.

Only after entering the sixth cycle or breaking through the mystery of life and death can one wrap oneself in a cocoon, hold one's breath and merge into the world to heal or transform.

Now he has only cultivated to the [Fifth Week], and has not yet seen through the mystery of life and death, so he cannot heal himself by trapping himself in a cocoon.

The [Heavenly Silkworm Transformation] that he passed on to Xiao Feng was created based on his impression of the martial arts concepts and incorporated some ideas from the [Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art].

The key to getting started is not the essence of all herbs and medicines, but the internal energy transformed by the ice silkworm. There is no need to see through life and death in one's mind. It can be activated when the body is severely injured, and a total of two transformations will be experienced.

Two transformations are two chances to save lives and also opportunities for rapid progress. There is nothing magical about it.

Now his Heavenly Silkworm's original true energy has been exhausted, his body has been severely injured, he can't transform nor can he practice to recover, so it's useless for his consciousness to return.

"The realm of withering and flourishing? It seems that only by understanding it can I recover from this injury. I don't know to what extent I need to comprehend it."

Jiang Weichen sighed softly, listening to the Taoist Qingyun muttering to himself outside, and realized that his scream just now was heard by these two people.

However, he had no intention of using his spiritual consciousness to inform others. Now that his soul and body could not be united, it would be dangerous to let others know that he was not dead.

It’s better to let them think that I’m dead so as not to reveal any flaws.

Half an hour later, Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang left, and Jiang Weichen removed the restraints on his consciousness.

The soul floated out of the body, and suddenly a pain came over me. How could I not exist in this windless coffin?

Fortunately, he was maintained by the Dao rhyme emanating from the Dao Palace, otherwise he would have been finished this time. He would have no time to comprehend the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, and to comprehend the mysteries of life and death.

Enduring the immense pain, he controlled his soul to leave the coffin, and suddenly a feeling of clarity came over him.

Jiang Weichen had never felt that the world was so clear, many times clearer than the appearance of his spiritual sense.

Compared with now, the world I saw before was as hazy and blurry as what someone with 800 degrees of myopia sees.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, the severe pain came again and Jiang Weichen had to recall.

“The soul and mind consciousness are separate. The soul is the innate primordial spirit, which exists before birth. The consciousness is the acquired conscious spirit, which exists at birth and grows through learning and experience.

The soul is free of thoughts and ideas. This state is the same as the state of mind required for the unity of man and nature. Observing the heavens and the earth through this state, and then communicating what you see to your heart through connection, this is simply a way to enlightenment."

Jiang Weichen was excited. He had achieved the state of unity between man and nature through an alternative method and entered the mode of enlightenment.

Use spiritual consciousness to observe the withering and extinction of the body, use a thoughtless soul to reach a state similar to the unity of man and nature, and clearly observe the natural evolution of heaven and earth. Then combine the two. If you still can't realize the artistic conception of withering and flourishing, then you deserve to die.

However, he still had to adapt to the pain first, otherwise the huge pain would make him lose consciousness, and how could he comprehend it?

Chapter 442: Abnormality in Qingyun Mountain

Time flies. Ever since Jiang Weichen discovered that the Yandao Hall could release the power of the mind and the rhythm of the Tao to maintain his consciousness and soul, he fell into seclusion.

During the day, the spiritual consciousness sinks into the physical body, feeling the changes of the physical body's decay and extinction. At night, the soul leaves the body, observing the heaven and earth and gaining enlightenment.

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed since his decisive battle with Murong Longcheng.

It's autumn again. Qingyun looks at the fallen leaves on the mountain and sighs: "This autumn seems particularly bleak."

Zhang Ziyang gazed into the distance and replied, "It's not that this autumn is particularly bleak, it's just that Qingyun Mountain is particularly bleak."

"Zhang Ziyang, you're such a sucker! Look at what you've done to Qingyun Mountain. You've almost drained the earth veins."

"You're talking nonsense. In order to help you recover your realm quickly, I haven't absorbed much spiritual energy except for practicing with the purple energy of the morning sun." Zhang Ziyang didn't want to take the blame.

Qingyun was puzzled. "How could this happen? I have just recovered my late Grandmaster level skills. When I was a Grandmaster, I didn't have this experience even when I was practicing in the mountains."

Zhang Ziyang concentrated his mind and sensed it for a long time before he said, "It's not a problem of spiritual energy, but your Qingyun Mountain has a subtle sense of decline.

This sense of decay is subtle and normally wouldn't have much of an impact, but in this season it accelerates the withering of everything."

"Where does the idea of ​​decline come from?" Qingyun was puzzled. "Being able to influence everything is already quite impressive."

Zhang Ziyang looked towards the pond on the back mountain and said, "Let's go take a look."

The two came to the edge of the pond, and then to Jiang Weichen's tomb. Their spiritual consciousness looked through the coffin and saw Jiang Weichen's body inside.

"This sense of decline is emanating from Jiang Xiaoyou's body." Zhang Ziyang said in surprise.

"Why didn't I notice it?" Qingyun wondered.

"Alas." Zhang Ziyang glanced at Qingyun and said helplessly, "Use your heart to sense it. Did you practice the spiritual cultivation method that Jiang Xiaoyou taught you in vain?"

Qingyun closed his eyes and meditated. After his mind became calm, he indeed sensed the hint of decline.

Opening his eyes, Qingyun asked in surprise, "What's going on? The corpse exudes a sense of decay. Is it finally going to rot?"

Jiang Weichen has been buried for a year. Although they have treated the surface of the coffin to prevent it from being eaten by insects and ants, a year has passed and the body is only a little dry. However, it is just the evaporation of the blood and moisture inside, and the body shows no sign of rotting.

At first, because of the magical power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, they speculated that Jiang Weichen might not be dead.

But a year passed, and Jiang Weichen's body had not changed. There was still no sign of life, and no sign of absorbing spiritual energy.

The human body needs nutrition to maintain itself. It is okay not to eat for a short period of time, but one must refine spiritual energy instead.

But Jiang Weichen's body did not absorb any spiritual energy and slowly dried up. They no longer had any hope.

"Who knows." Zhang Ziyang was also puzzled. He didn't know whether it was because Jiang Weichen's physique was too strong or for some other reason.

After death, the body emits a strange fragrance. According to records, it seems that only Bodhidharma of Buddhism reached this level.

He had no idea what was so magical about this physique.

"Zhang Ziyang, Xiaoyaozi enshrined Jiang Xiaoyou's Immortal-Slaying Sword in Changchun Palace. What does he mean by this? Is he taking someone else's weapon and enshrining it as a sacred object?"

Some time ago, the two received orders from Xiaoyaozi and went to Changchun Valley in Dali. People from other Taoist factions also went with them.

After arriving there, Xiaoyaozi announced the official establishment of Changchun Palace and issued a mission, asking all Taoist temples to recruit disciples and glorify the Taoist sect.

Since they were both grandmasters, they did not force any requests, but other Taoist temples did assign tasks.

The most important thing is that Xiaoyaozi finally led them to the worship hall, where the Killing Immortal Sword was placed.

Xiaoyaozi also said that it was the sacred object of Changchun Palace and the treasure of the sect. He also drew a portrait and asked everyone to take it back and tell his disciples.

Zhang Ziyang was also unsure and replied, "There must be a reason for this. He wants everyone who joins the Changchun Palace to know that this is the palace's sacred object."

"So what if you know? What can you do?" Qingyun was puzzled.

"Who knows? Perhaps it's like Murong Longcheng's statue, trying to absorb something through the knife."

"Friend Jiang said that the sword would absorb blood and refine itself after killing someone, and that the sword spirit would absorb the deceased's spiritual power. But that was after the person was killed. Xiaoyaozi, it shouldn't have any effect if it's just worshipped like this, right?"

Zhang Ziyang was also a little confused, but still said: "Perhaps Xiaoyaozi has found other methods. Qingyun, don't forget Murong Longcheng. Kneeling and praying can contribute to the power of the wish.

How could Xiaoyaozi do something useless? He let everyone know that the Immortal-Slaying Sword was a sacred object of Changchun Palace. If everyone accepted and recognized it, wouldn't they have made some kind of contribution invisibly? "

Qingyun shuddered, "Zhang Ziyang, don't scare me. Why don't I feel like I'm missing anything?"

“Those who pray do not know that their actions contribute to the power of their wishes, nor do they feel that they are missing anything.

We don't notice it because we don't understand what we are giving, or the amount is too small to be noticed.

Since Xiaoyaozi has publicized this widely and has asked the Taoist temple to recruit many disciples, he must be hoping to accumulate a lot."

Qingyun worriedly asked, "Will this have any impact on us?"

"I don't feel any impact. Just focus on your training. As long as you are strong, you will be fearless of anything."

"You'd better practice faster. Let me catch up with Xiaoyaozi. I might as well outlast him. You have a great hope. With the help of Jiang Xiaoyou's spiritual method, when you break through to the celestial realm, I will have someone to rely on."

Yang Wenshan also practiced the Five Animal Exercises that Jiang Weichen passed on to him. If he underwent marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, his lifespan could reach 210 years.

If Xiaoyaozi cannot break through to the level of celestial beings, then it is more reliable to outlast him than to break through himself.

Zhang Ziyang was more talented than him. He borrowed the methods of his predecessors to create his own [Ziyang Dan Fa], comprehended the artistic conception, and obtained the key to heaven.

Now that he has been taught the way to control his own mind, if Xiaoyaozi stops moving forward, it is almost certain that Zhang Ziyang will catch up with him.

Inside the tomb, Jiang Weichen felt the spiritual sense of Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang scanning him.

However, his spiritual consciousness was completely retracted into his heart palace, so the two souls naturally could not perceive it and could only see his withered body.

Over the past year, he has felt the changes in his body within his mind and the changing of the seasons within his soul. He has come to understand the principles of growth and decline.

His comprehension of the artistic conception of prosperity has taken a step further, and he has also gained some understanding of the artistic conception of withering. Although it is only at the first level, it is still a comprehension. It is no longer just a mutated artistic conception like before, which can only destroy vitality through the death energy absorbed by the Killing Immortal Sword.

Although it was only the first level of artistic conception, if it had been before, he could switch between the two states at will.

You can instantly turn into an old man with a face full of wrinkles, or instantly turn into a young man with rosy and elastic skin.

If he had such an understanding when his vitality had just dissipated, then even if he was seriously injured and unable to practice, he could still draw spiritual energy to slowly nourish and restore his body.

But now that his body has been withered for a year, his current understanding is not enough and he needs further understanding.

Moreover, he felt the withering and desolate body, and his soul watched the changes of the four seasons of heaven and earth, which gave him a vague understanding of life and death, but he always felt that he was still one step away from complete understanding.

As long as the opportunity comes, the sixth cycle of the [Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art] will be able to reveal the mystery of life and death.

He also wanted to use the state of his soul leaving the body to temper and strengthen his soul, so that when he recovered, his cultivation would make rapid progress.
