Chapter 243: Divine Texts and Acupoints! A New Path to the Tao!
"There are more than 80,000 people participating in the cultivation of the divine text."
"These people were divided into more than a hundred groups according to gender, age, qualifications, understanding, physical condition, etc."
"Each group is divided into five subgroups, each trying to practice the five kinds of divine texts."
"In the end, there were more than 400 people who successfully completed the Divine Text within a month."
"Half of these four hundred people are in the same situation as Du Fuhai. They originally had the strength of Tongmai Realm and above. As soon as their innate divine texts were cultivated, they took the initiative to escape into the Dao Seed."
"The remaining half are similar to Jiang Xintian."
At this point, Zhang Shunyi showed a look of emotion, "Your Highness, do you know what kind of power is the divine text in Jiang Xin's Tianqiao acupoint composed of?"
"constitute?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it the power of divine text?"
"No."
Zhang Shunyi smiled mysteriously, "It's strength."
"!"
Xu Chong's eyes suddenly widened.
During the investigation just now, he clearly sensed the divine text in Jiang Xin's Tianqiao acupoint.
But I only sensed the divine text.
As for what power those divine texts were based on, he completely ignored it.
This is the disadvantage of inherent ideas.
In his view, strength is strength, and the power of divine words is the power of divine words.
Light is the manifestation in sensing. Both are different from liquids and light sources. What's more, the power conflict that occurred in Huo Linger and others proved that these two forces cannot coexist. How can the essence of the divine text be replaced by strength?
Fortunately, the cabinet played the role of think tank perfectly and captured this point that is most easily overlooked.
Sure enough, the wisdom of the group is greater than that of the individual.
But then again, since the divine text can be composed of strength as the basic force, what is the power of the divine text?
“Could it be…”
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "There is no such thing as the power of divine text?"
"Your Highness is indeed an extraordinary person. He immediately understood the key point."
Zhang Shunyi exclaimed, "Rather than saying it's the power of the divine text, it's better to say it's the power of the five elements."
"The power of the five elements? "
Xu Chong's eyes flashed, "Rules?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Shunyi nodded. "The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, no matter which one it is, are similar to the martial arts, secret martial arts, and side skills of the Tianxuan Realm. They are just techniques for communicating with the rules of heaven and earth. They themselves do not contain any power. They are just a symbol... In other words, what is condensed into the divine text is the borrowed five elements rules."
"However, because the human body inherently contains the five elements, the five elements rules communicated by the Five Elements Divine Text are more in line with the human body than the side techniques of the Tianxuan Realm."
"The direct result of this is that the rules communicated through the Five Elements Divine Text can remain in the body for a long time and gradually grow stronger, thus giving birth to a clearly divided realm of cultivation."
"In comparison, Jinli is a force that is completely spontaneously generated by the human body. It does not belong to any kind of rules of heaven and earth. If it must be counted, it should belong to the rules of the human body."
"It is also because everyone has these rules in their bodies, so the Jinli system is easier to get started with and easier to practice than the Shenwen system... In theory, every real individual can practice the Jinli system."
"Of course, the power system is not necessarily good."
"Based on the current situation, the rules of the human body are not as powerful as the rules of heaven and earth, so the upper limit of the power system is far lower than that of the divine text system, uh..."
At this point, Zhang Shunyi paused, looked at Xu Chong calmly, and said, "Of course, Your Highness is an exception."
"I think I understand what you mean."
Xu Chong nodded slightly, then asked, "Then why, when the Dao Seed's power is weaker than the Divine Scripture, it increases its power to fight against the Divine Scripture, and why, when the power is stronger than the Divine Scripture, it becomes a barrier to isolate the Divine Scripture?"
"The real reason is unknown for now, but I have a small guess."
Zhang Shunyi's face became serious, and he said slowly: "Dao Zhong is on the side of the Jinli system."
"Well……"
Xu Chong was surprised, "You don't mean to say that Dao Zhong is consciously leaning towards the power system, right?"
"That's not the case."
Zhang Shunyi shook his head. "The entire Tianxuan Realm has been exploring and advancing for nearly ten thousand years. If the Dao seeds have consciousness, they should have been discovered long ago... Dao seeds should be the same as Jinli, belonging to the same kind of human body rules, so they will actively reject or restrict the rules of the outside world, unless they do not follow the Jinli system."
"Since the rules of the human body conflict with the rules of heaven and earth, how can we talk about the fusion of the exercises?"
Xu Chong frowned slightly.
"Divine text."
Zhang Shunyi's eyes lit up with a terrifying brilliance. "As long as the divine text is no longer just a symbol used to communicate the rules of heaven and earth, but is transformed into a basic structure based on strength, then the rules of the human body and the rules of heaven and earth may be able to coexist perfectly... No, it cannot be said to coexist. It should be said that the weak rules of the human body can pry open the powerful rules of heaven and earth, thereby exerting a power far beyond what it should have originally."
“Heaven and man are one!”
Xu Chong's eyes suddenly widened.
"A celestial being?"
Zhang Shunyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Using human power to pry the power of heaven and earth does seem very similar to the heavenly being who cultivated the Dao in the Huangting. However, if this method works, then there is no need to wait until the Dao cultivation realm is as high as that. Even if it is just opening the orifices, unblocking the meridians, and washing the body, it can pry the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent... Moreover, if one cultivates the Dao in the Purple Mansion and the Dao in the Jade Pool using this method, one can also possess the means of cultivating the Dao in the Huangting."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Chong had already started to daydream.
What would it be like if this method became feasible?
At the Awakening stage, one can control the sword, at the Tongmai stage, one can use the Somersault Cloud, at the Body Cleansing stage, one can use the Five Thunders Righteous Law...
hiss!
Xu Chong took a breath and glanced at Zhang Shunyi, "You are really good, kid!"
"Your Highness, please don't rush to praise me. There are still many difficulties to overcome."
Zhang Shunyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Jiang Xintian only completed the divine text an hour ago, so he was chosen to come to the cabinet... because the divine text that enters the acupoint can only last for three hours at most."
"Three hours?"
Xu Chong was stunned and turned to look at Jiang Xintian.
However, Jiang Xintian also looked confused, as if he had just realized this.
"Yes, the other 200 people who were in the same situation as him, the divine texts in their acupoints had already collapsed and returned to their original strength."
Zhang Shunyi sighed, "In order to keep the power in the structure of the divine text, there must be some crucial factor. Unfortunately, the time consumed may not be measured in months..."
"I see."
Xu Chong nodded thoughtfully, "Leave the rest to me. It's already quite remarkable that you've made it this far."
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. This discovery is the joint achievement of all those who participated in the practice of the divine text, as well as my colleagues in the cabinet. I am just summarizing and relaying the results."
Zhang Shunyi bowed and said something meaningful.
Xu Chong knew what he meant, so he waved his hand and said, "When the new law is developed, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits."
"Thank you, Regent..."
All the cabinet ministers bowed down together.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to bow, Zheng Qian looked at Zhang Shunyi with gratitude.
There is no doubt that Zhang Shunyi said that for him, and the result was very smooth.
They were all rewarded according to their merits, proving that the Regent had no intention of pursuing the previous incident any further.
"No need to be polite."
Xu Chong flicked his sleeves and said, "The cabinet should handle the government affairs of Baiyujing first. I will first come up with a set of exercises for the awakening realm. You can deduce the follow-up and more different exercises according to the template."
After saying this, Xu Chong's phantom disappeared in the hall.
…
…
Five Spirits Realm.
It’s still that barren mountain.
After sending Huo Linger and five others back to their master, Xu Chong returned here again, waiting for the research results in Baiyujing.
It's a rare leisure time to just lie there lazily for a whole month, doing nothing and thinking about nothing.
"After resting for so long, it's time to get back to work."
Xu Chong stretched and sat up, closing his eyes and sinking his mind into his body.
Now he no longer has the power he had before. His strength and Tao seeds no longer exist. All his reliance is on his virtual and real status itself, as well as two authorities and one talent.
The advantage is that you are much more powerful than before the promotion.
The true form is the strengthened Nine Transformations Immortal Essence, and the virtual form is the strengthened Nine Transformations Immortal God.
Furthermore, no matter which form it was, it retained the means of the enhanced Nine Revolutions of Immortal Qi.
Of course, there are a few downsides.
That means the Immortal God’s ability to warn and control fortune and disaster is gone.
Therefore, when he was breaking the Tianxuan Realm, he was unable to sense the approaching Salo and thus evacuated in advance. That is why he needed the notification of the true will to avoid danger and change the direction of walking in the ruins.
However, it is hard to say whether the abilities are gone, or whether these two abilities can only be effective within the Tianxuan Realm.
In short, Xu Chong’s true form now is a normal and complete person.
In addition to the three major Dao elements, he also has the same meridians, acupoints, internal organs, and so on that normal people have.
Fortunately, his task was only to deduce the initial practice of the first level of enlightenment. Even without the Tao Seed, the real form was completely sufficient.
In this way, Xu Chong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, recalling how the power system was born while looking for the most primitive feeling of power.
After the rules of the Tianxuan Realm changed drastically, the old methods of cultivation became obsolete. All practitioners, including Jiang Wang, fell from terrestrial immortals to farmers in an instant and no longer had any extraordinary powers.
Originally, the direction of Tianxuan Realm might have returned to normal, but Daqing united the people and gathered the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth.
People who were surrounded by spiritual energy discovered the subtlest fluctuations deep within their bodies while they were working, walking or lying down.
Talking about cellular energy, bioelectricity, etc. may be a bit of an exaggeration.
If I have to describe it, it would be more appropriate to use terms like genetic lock or human treasure.
In short, the person who first discovered it summed up a method of opening up the acupoints in the body by wasting energy through a certain specific posture.
This method was collected by the imperial court, and later Jiang Wang took the lead and led the once top cultivators to deduce a large number of methods to open up the mind through continuous exploration and correction.
What Xu Chong has to do now is to imitate the first person who opened up the acupoints and feel the changes in his body brought about by any posture or any action.
Although it can be accomplished in Baiyujing, and even with the support of the imperial court, he does not need to do it himself and can just wait for the results.
But on the one hand, the spiritual energy conditions in the Five Spirit Realm are more sufficient, and on the other hand, Xu Chong is not just imitating the sages.
For him, it was too easy to feel the changes in his body. It was also very easy to create a method of awakening one's mind from scratch. Dozens of books a day were not a problem.
But the problem is that his method of opening the acupoints requires that when the first acupoint is opened, the energy generated in the acupoints will automatically combine into the structure of the divine text.
This is not something that is so easy to do.
Changing to the previous Tianxuan Realm is equivalent to integrating the strength combination techniques of at least the secret level into the practice of the awakening realm.
The first thing is to achieve the combination of the power into a divine text as soon as it is born, and the second thing is to choose the rules suitable for the communication of the divine text.
If we really hand this task over to the Cabinet, even if there is a training room that can accelerate time, it will take a long time for the finished product to come out.
So Xu Chong had no choice but to deduce it himself.
Soon, the first day was spent in meditation.
At dawn the next day, Xu Chong stood up and began to strike different strange poses.
That night, there was a faint sound of bubbles bursting.
This is a sign that the acupoints are open.
Unfortunately, although the acupoints were opened and the strong energy was condensed into divine symbols, all the divine symbols could not last for too long. They collapsed without exception and turned back into flowing liquid energy.
Xu Chong was not discouraged. He switched his form to nothingness and then back again, allowing his body to return to its original state, and then continued to try.
On the morning of the third day, the acupoint was opened again.
This time the divine text lasted a little longer, as long as half a cup of tea, but it still collapsed in the end.
Day 4…
Day 5…
With constant exploration, summarization and correction, Xu Chong's speed in opening up the acupoints became faster and faster, and the magic text could be maintained for longer and longer periods of time.
However, half a month had passed, and he still hadn't found a way to completely stabilize the divine text.
"Something's wrong..."
Xu Chong sat down cross-legged and fell into deep thought.
During the past half month, he thought he had optimized his training posture to the extreme, to the point where he could open up the acupoints almost immediately after striking the pose.
But in terms of divine writing, even the five elements rules of communication can only be maintained for three hours at most before reaching the upper limit and can no longer be improved.
This doesn't make sense.
If the structure of the divine text really cannot be integrated into the strength system, then it would be impossible for the strength to condense into the divine text from the beginning.
He also tried many times the rules of communicating with divine texts.
Including the Five Elements Rules, the Space Rules and Light Rules that he was most familiar with, and many others.
It can be said that any rules that can be communicated by human power can support the strength to condense the structure of the divine text, and there are not too many restrictions on this.
In summary, even though all the conditions were met, the divine text still could not be maintained, let alone retaining the power of rules in the body like the Five Spirits Realm...
"Wait! Retain?"
A flash of light flashed through Xu Chong's mind.
He remembered what Zhang Shunyi had said before.
Because the human body contains the five elements, it can retain the rules of the five elements and become stronger and stronger.
"The Five Elements Divine Texts cultivated in the Five Spirit Realm are all based on the Five Elements rules from head to toe and from inside to outside, so the Divine Texts can be maintained and retain the power of the rules."
"The divine text I cultivated is based on strength."
"And the strength is generated in the body, which should also fall into the category of the five elements."
"so……"
Xu Chong's eyes sparkled, "Using strength to condense into a single five-element divine text, destroyed the inner five elements?"
"What if the divine text formed by the power does not have a single five-element attribute, but has all five elements?"
