He remained calm and expressionless, waiting for his invisible gaze to sweep across the yard before he opened the ball of paper.
The Grandmaster's Mansion may seem loose and unguarded, but in fact, more than twenty Grandmasters of the Great Light Realm are stationed there, monitoring every place through special means.
The thumb -sized note read: "Be patient and act quickly."
Li Chengkong flicked the paper lightly and it turned into powder.
He shook his head.
The Zi Yang Sect is truly powerful, having been able to infiltrate the Grandmaster's Mansion. I wonder if the maid just now was from the Zi Yang Sect.
However, he did not believe that the Zi Yang Sect could really rescue him. This was the Grandmaster's Mansion. How much would it cost to rescue him?
There are at least twelve Great Light Realm masters guarding it. Does the Zi Yang Sect have such strength?
Moreover, why would the Ziyang Sect pay such a high price to rescue him? Was he really that important to the Ziyang Sect?
After dinner, the pretty maid took away the food box. Li Chengkong looked at her secretly, but couldn't see anything unusual, so he simply ignored her.
He paced in the yard with his hands behind his back to digest his food.
There was a knock on the door and Dugu Shuming, dressed in white as white as snow, pushed the door open.
Li Chengkong clasped his fists and walked into the pavilion.
Dugu Shuming came to the pavilion and sat down. Suddenly, a faint fragrance floated in the pavilion.
Li Chengkong started to make tea.
Amidst the gurgling white mist, tea was brewed into two cups, and the two of them each held a cup and sipped it.
"I can't find out." She frowned while holding the teacup.
Li Chengkong blew out a breath of hot air and nodded nonchalantly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Practice well."
"I've thought about it from your perspective, but I can't think of any way to save myself." Dugu Shuming has been thinking hard.
She has thought about it countless times: what would she do if she were Li Chengkong?
Not to mention that he cannot leave the Grandmaster's Mansion, even if he proves his innocence and leaves the Grandmaster's Mansion, he will still be trapped in the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
If he had mediocre talent, it would be fine to stay in Xiaoling Mausoleum, where it would be quiet and safe. But he had such extraordinary talent that staying in Xiaoling Mausoleum was torture.
Of course I have to find a way to make up for the mistake I made in a fit of rage.
"This secret book is for you." She pulled out a thin book from her sleeves: "This technique is difficult to practice, I believe it is not difficult for you."
Li Chengkong took it. The edges were broken, but it still looked ancient.
"Let's see now, they don't allow us to bring anything in." Dugu Shuming said.
Li Chengkong looked down.
The cover has five large characters "Nine Turns to Immortality" written on it, which looks elegant and free as if the gentle breeze is blowing on your face.
The booklet has nine pages in total.
Each page is a portrait of a person in a different pose, with red, blue, green and black lines drawn on the body, and four mnemonics next to it.
After Li Chengkong flipped through nine pages, he handed it to Dugu Shuming.
Dugu Shuming stuffed it back into his sleeve.
After drinking tea, she left again.
Li Chengkong began to study the Nine Revolutions Flying to Immortality Technique.
The first step to getting started with the Nine Turns Flying to Immortality Technique is to cultivate four kinds of internal energy.
These four energies are the four elements in the Buddhist concept of emptiness.
When the four elements come together, heaven and earth are created; when the four elements disperse, there is extinction.
One life and one death is one turn, nine lives and nine deaths are nine turns. After nine turns, one will jump out of the five elements, no longer be in the red dust, and can become a flying immortal.
Li Chengkong pondered for a while and frowned.
This Nine Revolutions Flying to Immortality Art is neither fish nor fowl, as if it mixes Buddhism and Taoism together. One can tell at a glance that it is unreliable.
There are nine births and nine deaths, and the fear is that once we die, we will never be able to be born again and will be in eternal extinction.
He already understood what Dugu Shuming meant.
She didn't try to become a flying fairy, but faked her own death. As long as she could master the Nine Turns of Flying Fairy Technique, she could go from life to death and from death to life again.
Faking death to escape!
This is exactly what I thought.
This secret book seems unreliable no matter how you look at it. In the past, I really wouldn't dare to take this risk. But now it's different. I will try to practice it myself in Tianyin Cave.
The self in the Tianyin Cave is immortal. As long as I exist and the cave exists, the self in the cave will always exist. It doesn’t matter what happens to me.
Five days later, early morning.
The two of them sat in the small pavilion. Li Chengkong put down the teacup and said, "Your Highness, I want to be annihilated. The rest is up to you, Your Highness."
"So fast?" Dugu Shuming didn't expect him to master the Nine Revolutions Flying Immortal Technique so quickly, and hesitantly asked: "...Is it really effective?"
This Nine Revolutions Flying to Immortality Technique came from a corner of a secret library. It has been covered in dust for a long time and does not look very reliable. I cannot practice it myself and cannot tell whether it is genuine or not.
But Li Chengkong has extraordinary talent and will definitely be able to see it.
Li Chengkong's situation was so desperate that he could only give this a try.
Li Chengkong can master the miraculous skills that others cannot. If he can really master this skill, he may be able to escape.
At least there is a glimmer of hope, and I don't have to suffer and die of old age in the Grandmaster's .
Her biggest worry was that there was something wrong with the Nine Revolutions Flying to Immortality Technique. After Li Chengkong died, he would never come back to life. She would probably never be able to get rid of the guilt and be happy for the rest of her life.
Ever since Yu Fei recovered, she has focused all her energy on rescuing Li Chengkong, as if she was possessed and determined to rescue Li Chengkong.
Half of it was out of guilt, part of it was out of pity for Li Chengkong, and part of it was out of character. I had to do what I wanted to do.
"That's the true secret." Li Chengkong said.
"Otherwise, then..."
"No need to wait any longer."
"...Okay." Dugu Shuming clenched his teeth and nodded seriously.
Li Chengkong looked up at the sky.
After calculating this situation countless times, I came to the conclusion that this is the only best solution.
Only through death can we turn passivity into activity and light into darkness.
Thinking of this, his mind was divided into five parts, and he started to practice the Nine-Turn Flying Immortal Technique.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and the vitality and spirit in his body condensed into a point of light and was transported into the Tianyin Cave.
Li Cheng's head dropped and he died.
Sitting in Tianyin Tower, Li Chengkong sensed the outside world, but could only sense the light spot inside the Tianyin Cave.
As for the body, I can't sense it.
It will take four hundred and forty-six days for that body to regain its vitality, just like a seed sprouting.
"Someone come here!" Dugu Shuming shouted.
Two old men with white beards and beards fell from the sky and saw Li Chengkong sitting with his head down, motionless, and no longer alive.
The two men's faces changed slightly, and they both stepped forward to check Li Cheng's air machine.
As masters of the Great Light Realm, they were extremely sensitive to signs of life and discovered that Li Chengkong had already died and his soul had dispersed.
"This..." Both of them changed their expressions.
The Grandmaster's Mansion guards the Grandmasters. Only when the imprisoned Grandmaster takes action can the people in the Mansion take action. Otherwise, they are absolutely not allowed to take action.
The death of a master is a huge matter!
Dugu Shuming shouted, "He committed suicide. It has nothing to do with you. Keep an eye on his body. No one is allowed to touch it. I'm going to see my father!"
She turned and left.
The two old men secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions slightly relieved, and after looking at each other, they leaned towards Li Chengkong again, using their internal energy to take a closer look.
He is definitely dead.
“Alas…!” The round-faced old man shook his head and said, “The youngest Grandmaster is even better than Hu Tianjing!”
"His foundation is too shallow..." The skinny old man shook his head: "We can only blame his bad luck. Even if he is a master, what good is that!"
As Grandmasters of the Great Light Realm, they knew that Grandmasters were not as powerful and free as others imagined.
Although there are only more than a thousand masters in the world and their status is transcendent, this transcendence is not true transcendence.
Don't you still have to serve the court and obey the orders of the emperor?
Dugu Shuming strode into the Guangming Palace and clasped his fists: "Greetings, Father. I just went to the Grandmaster's Mansion!"
"You..." Dugu Qian saw that her face was not right, frowned and shook his head: "Are you angry with Li Chengkong again?"
Dugu Shuming attaches too much importance to friendship and loyalty, which is her biggest shortcoming. As a princess, friendship and loyalty should not be so cheap.
"Li Chengkong committed suicide." Dugu Shuming said coldly.
"Suicide?!" Lu Zhang said hurriedly.
Dugu Qian waved his hand: "Nonsense!"
