Chapter 62: A Heart Like the Great Sun, Its Intent Naturally Clear
Chapter 62: A Heart Like the Great Sun, Its Intent Naturally Clear
A cultivation technique that requires one to bask in the sun is not a good technique. I must not let my disciples restrict themselves; I have to correct this.
Leaving the issue of the technique to his disciples to ponder and comprehend, Li Xuan only needed to observe quietly.
Meng Chong fell into deep thought. He decided to try cultivating that evening.
In the courtyard, he took a horse stance and began his cultivation.
"Why can't I sense the qi and blood?"
Without the warmth of the sun on his body, Meng Chong was initially unable to sense his qi and blood as he cultivated.
"As I suspected, there's an issue with my understanding of the technique."
Meng Chong took a deep breath, calming his mind, and carefully sensed his body.
At one point, he finally sensed the qi and blood, but the sensation was faint, and the refinement process was too slow.
"Why is it that cultivating under the sun makes it faster?"
Meng Chong sank into contemplation.
Li Xuan's expression stirred, and he too fell into thought. The evening's cultivation had clearly weakened Meng Chong.
"Something's not right. Does the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover really require one to cultivate under the sun to be more efficient?"
Even Li Xuan was perplexed.
He carefully recalled the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover technique he had fabricated. No matter how he looked at it, there was no mention of cultivating under the sun.
"Could it be because of the technique's name?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but ponder.
"Let's see how Meng Chong resolves this."
Li Xuan decided to leave it be.
After all, his way of teaching disciples involved presenting them with fabricated techniques and letting them comprehend and improve upon the theory themselves.
It was up to the disciples to figure out how to succeed in their cultivation.
Meng Chong, while mobilizing his qi and blood to temper his body, carefully observed the changes in his body. The faint qi and blood refined at an extremely slow pace.
"Where did I go wrong? It can't be that I need to cultivate under the sun. My understanding of the technique must be insufficient."
Meng Chong carefully sensed the changes in his qi and blood while meticulously scrutinizing every word of the technique.
"The Great Sun Golden Bell Cover must be related to the Great Sun. If it's not about cultivating directly under the Great Sun, then...
"No, the Great Sun never truly sets.
"On cloudy days, it's just obscured by the clouds, and at night, it temporarily sets...
"So, the Great Sun is always there."
A flash of insight struck Meng Chong, and he vaguely felt that he had gained some understanding.
"Master said it's about enlightenment and intent. I haven't comprehended the intent within the technique, and that's where I'm lacking..."
What was the "intent" of the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover?
Meng Chong sank into contemplation.
At that moment, qi and blood flowed from his bones to his organs. His heart beat, tempering itself with qi and blood, and a warm feeling emerged. The qi and blood, having circulated through the heart, became denser and purer.
In an instant, Meng Chong felt that he had understood the "intent" of the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover.
"The intent of the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover is naturally the intent of the Great Sun itself. Though the Great Sun in the sky may not be visible, the Great Sun in my heart remains unchanged..."
In that moment, Meng Chong felt as if he had opened a window and seen the Great Sun hanging high in the sky.
"My heart is like the Great Sun, burning fervently, and its intent naturally becomes clear, resonating with the Great Sun in the sky..."
Meng Chong entered a profound state of cultivation.
His heart began to beat rhythmically, and streams of qi and blood seemed to burst forth, circulating through his organs and then through his bones and skin. From his skin, they returned to his bones and heart...
A complete cycle had formed.
Furthermore, he felt as though his entire being had transformed into a massive bell, with his flesh, membranes, bones, and organs forming a perfect, rounded shape.
The Great Sun Golden Bell Cover!
"I finally understand this technique!" Meng Chong exclaimed in delight. He felt as though his physical body was continually strengthening.
"My body feels like a perfect, rounded bell!" Meng Chong's excitement knew no bounds, and he had completely forgotten about the passage of time as he continued to cultivate.
Li Xuan closely monitored Meng Chong, and his keen senses as a martial artist allowed him to clearly perceive the changes occurring in Meng Chong's body.
"His breathing has become regular, and his qi and blood are growing stronger... The qi and blood are circulating throughout his body, achieving a unity of the inner and outer self, forming a fleshly golden bell..."
In that instant, Li Xuan was filled with delight.
Meng Chong had comprehended the cultivation method of the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover.
At this moment, he was in the midst of cultivating it.
"His physical body is actually visibly strengthening. This disciple of mine truly has a talent for cultivating the bodily aspect," Li Xuan thought to himself.
Meng Chong's physique continued to grow more robust.
"When taking on disciples, one must consider their strengths and tailor the techniques to their talents, making it easier for them to comprehend..." Li Xuan mused.
He felt that he had found the right approach to instructing his disciples.
Each new disciple would require a unique set of techniques.
It was unrealistic for him to invent dozens or hundreds of new techniques and systems.
Therefore, his disciples would need to possess exceptional talent that aligned with the techniques he created.
"Will Meng Chong be able to master the basics within a month?" Li Xuan wondered, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
There was no doubt that Xu Yan's talent was extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully cultivate the entirely fabricated technique.
While the technique Meng Chong was cultivating was also fabricated, it at least had a reference point, and Li Xuan himself was now a martial artist.
Moreover, Meng Chong's talent truly lay in the realm of physical cultivation.
"I should also inform Meng Chong about the classifications of bone refinement. In the realm of physical cultivation, the bone refinement comparable to Jade Bones is the Vajra Adamantine Bones. I hope he can refine this Vajra Adamantine Bones that I've completely made up.
"If Xu Yan could refine Jade Bones, then Meng Chong should be able to refine Vajra Adamantine Bones, right? He'll probably need some assistance, though. Xu Yan only broke through to the Jade Bones stage after fighting and killing those Fire-Maned Wolves."
Li Xuan began planning Meng Chong's future cultivation path.
If Meng Chong could refine Vajra Adamantine Bones, and once he entered the realm of martial arts, Li Xuan would also gain feedback. What kind of changes would occur if he had both Jade Bones and Vajra Adamantine Bones? He would undoubtedly become even stronger! The thought of it was thrilling.
"It's only a matter of time before Meng Chong enters the realm of martial arts. Next, I need to prepare some martial arts techniques for him.
"Xu Yan specialized in palm strikes, so let's have Meng Chong focus on fist techniques...
"As for movement techniques, I'll stick to the old routine. I'll draw an Eight Trigrams diagram and explain it to him, letting him figure out the rest on his own.
"Additionally, I should also refine the subsequent stages of the bodily martial arts system."
With a clear mind and heart, Li Xuan entered a state of contemplation, thinking about how Meng Chong should proceed with his cultivation after entering the realm of martial arts.
Bodily martial arts was a system within the broader realm of martial arts, focusing primarily on the physical body. However, it didn't merely involve brute force, and Li Xuan intended to refine it to make it equally powerful.
