Chapter 183: Gaining the True Scripture! Gaining Yuan Shi!
Chapter 183: Gaining the True Scripture! Gaining Yuan Shi!
At the banks of the Cangyuan River.
An aged voice echoed, filled with emotion.
Qin Zheng fell silent, deep in thought.
Spirit Root
In the end, martial cultivation is connected to the Immortal Dao!
Is the ultimate goal of martial cultivation merely the Great Master realm, after which it gradually merges with the Immortal Dao?
Thinking of the hints on the Virtue Scroll and his own understanding of the Immortal Dao, a sense of unease arose in Qin Zheng's heart.
"Since that's the case, how can Elder Wang be sure that I possess a Spirit Root?"
Qin Zheng lifted his head, his gaze falling upon the tall, elderly man before him.
"The reason is that the internal cultivation technique you practice is the Eighty-One Transformations Holy Scripture."
Elder Wang Qingquan promptly responded to Qin Zheng's confusion and continued, "Only those with a Spirit Root can fully cultivate this internal technique!"
No wonder!
Qin Zheng suddenly understood.
No wonder this internal cultivation technique was rarely successfully cultivated; it required not only a strong foundation and keen comprehension but also a Spirit Root!
Without a Spirit Root, even with exceptional talent and comprehension, one could not fully cultivate this technique!
One would only waste time and energy on it!
"Accordingly to the Grand Martial Academy's instructions, you were supposed to go to the academy and choose a true scripture to cultivate in front of the nine divine statues."
"However, the situation in Qingzhou is urgent, and I guess you won't be leaving Qingzhou anytime soon, so I brought a true scripture with me."
Elder Wang Qingquan's voice continued.
He extended his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his palm.
"After achieving the Martial Saint realm, all cultivation depends on Spirit Energy, and naturally, the true scriptures are indispensable."
"The Martial Saint realm is divided into nine levels, with three levels per stage: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced."
"The Grand Martial Academy has nine true scriptures, the weakest of which can cultivate up to the third level, and the strongest up to the eighth level."
"This true scripture I have does not belong to the Grand Martial Academy's nine scriptures. I obtained it by chance during my travels through the mountains and rivers."
"Although its quality is not as good as the best scripture at the academy, it can still allow you to cultivate up to the seventh level!"
"Take it and try. With your talent, you should be able to comprehend its methods, absorb Spirit Energy, and break through to the Martial Saint realm!"
As Elder Wang Qingquan spoke, he handed the jade slip to Qin Zheng.
Feeling the smooth sensation in his hand, Qin Zheng looked up at Elder Wang Qingquan, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Oh, right. Place the jade slip on your forehead, and then send a thread of Psychic Energy into it."
Elder Wang Qingquan noticed Qin Zheng's expression and immediately realized he hadn't explained how to use the jade slip.
But Qin Zheng had a different question. He asked, "Elder Wang, do you know what realm lies beyond the Martial Saint?"
Elder Wang Qingquan was taken aback, then after a moment of thought, he replied, "In the past, the strongest in the Great Jin Dynasty was the founder, who reached the eighth level of Martial Saint. There has never been a Martial Saint above that, but..."
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed.
Elder Wang Qingquan continued, "I once read in ancient records that the realm above Martial Saint is the Immortal Realm, also known as the Dharmakaya Realm!"
As expected!
His guess was confirmed once again!
No wonder the strongest in the Great Jin Dynasty was a Martial Saint. Due to the broken lineage, the eighth level of Martial Saint was the limit.
Even the ninth level of Martial Saint could not be broken through, let alone reaching the Dharmakaya Realm.
Fortunately, Qin Zheng's True Dragon Unextinguishable Body had opened up 108 acupoints, making his physical body comparable to a Dharmakaya!
This was another type of Dharmakaya powerhouse!
As various thoughts flooded his mind, Qin Zheng didn't hesitate. He took the jade slip and slowly placed it on his forehead.
A thread of Psychic Energy slowly entered the jade slip.
Buzz!
In an instant, the Virtue Scroll in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.
【Discovered Technique: Spirit Sealing Cultivation Method, can be refined, requires 3,000 jin of Virtue, refine?】
【Note: This technique is incomplete, and refining it may be dangerous!】
Seeing the words on the Virtue Scroll, a sense of helplessness arose within Qin Zheng.
After opening the five acupoints, where would he find 3,000 jin of Virtue?
However, it was close enough, and he should be able to figure out a way.
Qin Zheng thought to himself.
Achieving the Martial Saint realm was urgent!
Buzz!
Just then, a scorching sensation suddenly appeared on Qin Zheng's forehead!
He vaguely saw a faint shadow of a jade scepter, swaying as if expressing dissatisfaction.
Then, a beam of light burst from his forehead and instantly surged into the Virtue Scroll.
The words regarding the Spirit Sealing Cultivation Method instantly disappeared.
Instead, a line of text that Qin Zheng had seen many times before appeared.
However, this time, there was a slight change.
【Discovered Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal, can be refined, requires 1,000 jin of Virtue, refine?】
【Note: Cultivating this seal can capture Spirit Energy, refine it into the body, and strengthen oneself.】
Qin Zheng noticed that the words that appeared this time were clearer and more distinct, almost as if they were bolded.
What did this mean?
This was the first time Qin Zheng had encountered such a phenomenon.
The jade scepter in his forehead forcefully dispersed the recently acquired Spirit Sealing Cultivation Method.
It also reduced the amount of Virtue required to refine the Primordial Limitless Seal and provided a note that hadn't been there before.
Capture Spirit Energy, refine it, and strengthen oneself.
These were the three steps needed to achieve the Martial Saint realm.
According to Elder Wang Qingquan, after cultivating the true scripture, one should absorb Spirit Energy into the body.
And this martial skill directly captures and infuses Spirit Energy into the body, an even more domineering method!
Looking at the Virtue Scroll, with the clearly more distinct words, Qin Zheng no longer hesitated and silently recited in his heart, "Refine and Cultivate Martial Skill - Primordial Limitless Seal!"
He currently still had a thousand jin of Virtue!
Buzz!
The Virtue Scroll trembled, instantly deducting a thousand jin of Virtue.
Immediately, a profound and ethereal Dao rhyme appeared, suddenly floating in his spiritual awareness.
Then, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed!
He saw that the surroundings were filled with ethereal clouds, vast and boundless.
When he raised his head, he saw that in the endless sky, there was a huge Daoist palace, faintly visible.
A hazy figure, a Daoist whose true appearance was difficult to discern, sat cross-legged on a cloud bed.
Yuan Shi
For some unknown reason, these two words suddenly appeared in Qin Zheng's mind.
Then, the Daoist slightly lowered his head, and as if the eyes of the Dao were merciless, they instantly fell on Qin Zheng's body.
Boom!
His mind seemed to explode like the heavens, instantly shattering into chaos! And then, a seal technique surged into the chaos.
"Limitless Seal!"
Three words appeared in Qin Zheng's mind again.
But this thought passed in an instant, and the five words 'Primordial Limitless Seal' appeared in his mind.
Then, the strange phenomenon around him suddenly dissipated, and Qin Zheng instantly regained his clarity.
"How is it? Have you gained some understanding?"
Seeing Qin Zheng slowly opening his eyes, Wang Qingquan immediately asked.
Qin Zheng raised his head, but his mind still seemed immersed in that cloud sea.
That Daoist in the high heavens, whose true appearance was difficult to discern.
Yuan Shi
Why did these two words suddenly pop into Qin Zheng's mind?
C
Thinking of this, a sense of crisis instantly descended upon Qin Zheng.
These words seemed to trigger some taboo, and a corrosive force appeared, causing the memories in his mind about what had just happened to quickly become blurred and dissipate.
Even the Primordial Limitless Seal that he had already refined was being forgotten.
Buzz!
At this moment, in his mind, the Jade Scepter appeared, emitting rays of light, counteracting the corrosive force.
But this corrosive force was exceptionally powerful, and even the Jade Scepter could only delay the speed of memory dissipation, unable to completely counteract it.
Just as the two forces struggled in Qin Zheng's mind,
Buzz!
The Virtue Scroll trembled slightly.
An invisible force spread out, and the Jade Scepter instantly emitted a brilliant light.
The combined strike of the two forces instantly dispelled the corrosive force.
Memories became clear again.
But at this moment, Qin Zheng dared not carefully recall, nor even dare to think of those words.
This world had some strange taboo!
Even the name of that figure had become a forbidden word that could not be silently recited or recalled!
Thinking back to the warnings on the Virtue Scroll,
Pollution, pollution,
Could even that figure have been polluted?!
At this thought, Qin Zheng's heart suddenly stirred with immense waves.
"What's wrong with you?!"
Just as Qin Zheng's thoughts were in turmoil, Wang Qingquan's voice sounded again, pulling his mind back to reality.
"It's nothing."
Qin Zheng shook his head, then after briefly scanning the information on the Virtue Scroll, he said, "I've gained some understanding."
Hearing this, the worry on Wang Qingquan's face turned into a smile.
"Good, good, good! Your aptitude and Spirit Root are indeed exceptional!"
"The more realms a True Scripture can cultivate, the more difficult it is to comprehend and cultivate!"
"Most of the eighteen Martial Saints in Great Jin are Initial Martial Saints, and this is the reason!"
"I didn't expect that you could comprehend a True Scripture of the seventh realm in such a short time!"
"It seems I made a mistake. You should have gone to comprehend the True Scripture from Ta Wu Academy that can cultivate to the eighth realm!"
Wang Qingquan's voice quickly echoed, but although he said this, a smile was already spreading to his ears.
Obviously, if given another chance, he would still bring this Spirit Sealing Breath Cultivation Method for Qin Zheng to comprehend.
Anyway, for the current crisis in Great Jin, a Martial Saint of the seventh realm is already sufficient to deal with everything.
If Qin Zheng could achieve Martial Saint in these few days, the crisis in Qingzhou would be resolved!
Qin Zheng looked at Wang Qingquan and smiled slightly, unconcerned.
Anyway, he was cultivating the Primordial Limitless Seal, not the Spirit Sealing Breath Cultivation Method.
"Alright, then go back and find a quiet place to cultivate!"
"Strive to break through the Martial Saint realm as soon as possible!"
After Wang Qingquan's joy, his expression turned solemn again, and he looked at Qin Zheng and said seriously.
"Okay."
Qin Zheng nodded.
The two of them took a step, and they soared into the sky.
At the same time,
Outside Qingzhou, deep within the Mogu Mountains.
A thousand-zhang black dragon slowly emerged from the dark clouds above.
"Still not leaving?"
It opened its mouth, its voice like thunder, echoing in all directions.
"Please, Fourth Brother, wait one more day!"
The man with horns replied with a smile.
"After tomorrow, the National Guardian Saint of Great Jin will complete their rotation, and we will make our move!"
