Chapter 660
The Moon's Essence Never Fades, the Primordial Spirit Leaves the Body
"Holy Maiden! You are a genius that our Netherworld Sect has seen only once in a hundred years!"
"This time we have dispatched the Thirteen Swords of the Netherworld to investigate the whereabouts of the previous generation's 'Sword Master of the Startling Clouds'."
"Your current martial arts level and the Refining Spirit Realm are close to the peak of martial arts. Once we surround and kill that old fox Jingyun, you can play a very strong role in restraining him."
"Now is the most important moment, why are you so determined to go to the Korean Peninsula?"
One of the Seven Deadly Secrets of the Netherworld spoke in a deep voice.
"Senior Sister, that Prince Qian, Chen Jie, is just a lucky one who obtained the Martial Saint's inheritance. He's nothing to worry about."
A handsome middle-aged man leisurely walked into the pavilion.
"Why should you take action yourself? The true enemy of our Netherworld Sect is the Imperial Guards!"
"Let me deal with Prince Qian, Chen Jie!"
"Within half a month, I will personally go to the Korean Peninsula and guarantee to bring back the head of Prince Qian, Chen Jie, to Taihu Villa for my senior sister to examine personally."
This middle-aged man had a gentle and refined appearance, giving people a calm and composed feeling.
but,
When he spoke of Prince Qian, Chen Jie, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
It seemed that as long as the 'saintess' in front of him nodded, he would immediately set off for the Korean Peninsula and bring Chen Jie's head back to Taihu Mountain Villa in Huainan.
"Junior Brother Wenyuan! Your martial arts have already broken through to the Martial Saint realm. Are you still unable to stabilize your state of mind at the first stage of the Meditation Realm?"
"It seems that even with the help of elixirs and the inheritance of the Martial Saint, and by using external forces to break through to the Martial Saint realm, one's mental state is still lacking a bit of composure."
suddenly,
The beautiful woman, known as the 'Saintess', spoke calmly.
Her voice was like a nightingale singing in a valley, clear and melodious, making people feel very comfortable to listen to.
Like a blazing sun in the dead of winter, it gives people a warm feeling and is full of vitality.
"Seven elders, you need not say anything more!"
A faint smile appeared on the saintess's face as she spoke in a deep voice:
"Qian Wang Chen Jie is indeed a lucky one in martial arts, but he is by no means an ordinary lucky one!"
"He not only inherited the legacy of the Martial Saint, but also cultivated the ultimate sword path."
"Although his strength is only average in my eyes, he is a person who has piqued my interest."
"Do you think my trip to Goryeo was solely for the sake of Prince Chen Jie?"
"To tell you the truth, my targets are Guan Qilin and Miyamoto Musashi; they are my true rivals!"
"But if we can also take care of Prince Qian, why not?"
It's clear that she shares the same mindset as her junior.
Although Chen Jie is known as the strongest person in the Great Qian Dynasty.
but,
In her eyes, it was nothing but empty fame.
The truly powerful have long since retired from the world.
"Since the Holy Maiden says so, then go ahead, we won't stop you!"
The seven old women of the Netherworld Sect exchanged a glance and said:
"However, rumors in the martial arts world say that Prince Qian, Chen Jie, is no ordinary man. He easily killed Dong Wanqing, the patriarch of the Dong family, in a battle in Wenzhou Prefecture. You must be careful."
The saintess, dressed in white, smiled calmly and said:
"Don't worry! He can't escape from me!"
“I will send him down to see Emperor Li Zheng, so that they can reunite in the underworld.”
Swish!
After she finished speaking, the saintess stood up, and her earrings made a piercing rattling sound.
next moment,
Her figure disappeared into the pavilion, as if she had never been there at all.
The surroundings quickly fell silent!
-
Chen Jie was naturally unaware of the situation in Huainan and Taihu Lake during the Great Qian Dynasty.
After dinner, Chen Jie lay on the top of a large tree outside the tent.
He looked up at the starry sky to the east, where a crescent moon slowly rose and hung atop a large tree outside Qinglan Town.
A mountain breeze blew by.
The trees surrounding Qinglan Town were rustling incessantly.
Just like leaves falling continuously, returning to their roots, it gives people a desolate feeling of a final curtain.
This is Qinglan Town.
If Chen Jie had accelerated on his warhorse, he would have been able to cross Qingyang County very quickly.
but,
Suddenly, dozens of chests of silver bricks, jewelry, gold coins, etc. appeared, and all the warhorses were used to pull the chests, which made the forward speed very slow.
then,
After walking for two hours, Chen Jie set up camp in a village near the dense forest of Qingyang County.
Everyone is going to rest for the night, recharge their energy, and set off again tomorrow morning.
The telegram has been sent; the battleship Ximentang has landed at Hongseong Port in Korea.
The special operations regiment of Ximentang will arrive to meet them and prepare to transport all the silver bricks and other supplies back to the battleship.
Chen Jie, however, did not feel tired.
To be honest, his personal guards followed him all the way to the Korean Peninsula.
After disembarking from the battleship, everyone rode at breakneck speed without stopping, only to be ambushed along the way.
Therefore,
Many members of the Royal Guard are on edge and definitely need a good rest and some relaxation.
Although Qinglan Town is called a town, it is actually just a very simple little village.
However, this place is a major transportation route, connecting the north and south ends of Qingyang County.
Therefore,
This place has the feel of a transportation hub.
Anyone passing through the forest passage of Qingyang County needs to stop and rest in Qinglan Town.
"It seems that something else will happen on our way to Hongcheng."
Chen Jie lay on the treetop, wide awake.
Having broken through to his current level of martial arts, he no longer needs to deliberately sleep.
at this time,
He lowered his head in deep thought, pondering his encounter with the Nine Nether Sect earlier that day, as well as the secrets of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Netherworld Sect actually issued a kill order against me!
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, under normal circumstances, only he can issue kill orders to others.
Moreover, given Chen Jie's current status and position, anyone who issues a kill order against him must carefully consider the consequences.
He never imagined that his army, which had marched to the Korean Peninsula, would be hunted down by the Netherworld Sect.
in addition,
From Jian Wuming's words, Chen Jie learned that the hidden power of the Netherworld Sect was actually enormous.
Holy Land of Martial Arts!
This Netherworld Sect actually holds such a high position in the martial arts world.
The hidden forces in the martial arts world, including the major martial arts families, actually acknowledged the status of the Netherworld Sect.
Faced with such a powerful manhunt order, Chen Jie wondered what level of force they would send.
of course,
He had no concern whatsoever for his safety.
Even Jian Wuming, the sect leader of Kunlun Sword Sect, was defeated by him. What did he have to worry about?
not to mention,
Jian Wuming followed him.
He didn't believe that any force in the martial arts world could simultaneously shake two sword saint-level experts.
"The person we need to worry about most right now is that bastard Miyamoto Musashi!"
"This person is ruthless in achieving his goals and may launch a challenge ahead of schedule, disrupting Ximentang's battle in Busan."
"I am currently a Quasi-Saint level expert. It is impossible for me to break through in either martial arts or spirit refinement."
"However, although one's cultivation level cannot be improved, one's combat power can be increased." "Jian Wuming is the sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect and also a Sword Saint. I will give him the Overlord Bow and the God-Devouring Arrow, which can kill a Martial Saint. His combat power will become extremely terrifying."
"Although I cannot control him with spiritual cultivation techniques, it is all worth it to have the support of the Kunlun Sword Sect."
After obtaining the Overlord Bow and the God-Devouring Arrow in the Nine Nether Valley, Chen Jie gifted them to Jian Wuming.
First of all, he can't use the Overlord Bow, let alone condense evil spirits.
Giving it to Jian Wuming will greatly increase his combat power.
On the other hand, Jian Wuming is, after all, a person from the Western Regions, and in the future, the army of Ximen Hall will go to war with the Western Regions.
If the Kunlun Sword Sect cannot be won over, and Kunlun were to side with the Western Regions, it would pose the greatest threat to the Ximen Hall.
Therefore,
Chen Jie readily gave the magical artifacts 'God-Devouring Arrow' and 'Overlord Bow' to Jian Wuming as a reward for winning over the Kunlun Sword Sect.
You reap what you sow!
call--!
Thinking about this, Chen Jie calmed down.
He practiced the Vajra Kung Fu internal energy cultivation method while adjusting his state and concentrating his primordial spirit.
under the moonlight,
He lay atop a tall tree, bathed in moonlight, practicing the Vajra Kung Fu.
At the same time, his primordial spirit began to condense, grow stronger, and solidify!
"False Tao nourishes the body, true Tao nourishes the spirit!"
Chen Jie closed his eyes slightly, his soul left his body, and his primordial spirit condensed.
"The realm of refining the spirit is more important than refining the physical form. If one can make the spirit one with the physical form and control it well, calm the spirit, preserve the spirit, illness will not enter the body, lifespan will be unlimited, and the gods will protect one. This is commonly known as—divine protection!"
Bathed in the moonlight, feeling the flowing light like mercury, his mind wandered to the meaning of the Taiping Jing.
Heaven and earth establish themselves by maintaining tranquility, guarding their spirit, and prospering by following the Way.
The Taiping Jing expounds on the way of refining the spirit, which gives people a sense of sudden enlightenment.
That profound and incomprehensible meaning of refining the spirit swirled in his sea of consciousness and entangled his divine thoughts.
Deep within his heart, he was one with the meaning of refining the spirit, inseparable from it.
Ever since that day when he discovered the Taiping Scripture deep within the memories of the [Yan Kong Martial Saint], he understood the profound meaning of the scripture's 'Refining the Spirit'.
He even felt that his condensed primordial spirit was more solidified than that of the sword saint Jian Wuming.
Previously, when he practiced the Vajra Skill, he only comprehended a trace of the primordial spirit, which was the essence of the Vajra Indestructible Body.
Integrate this sense of eternal indestructibility into the divine thoughts of your primordial spirit.
Although it can make one's martial arts willpower unwavering, it will never dissipate even if one suffers a tribulation of lightning.
but,
It is still a very long way from true immortality.
but,
Now he has begun to comprehend the principles of Heaven and Earth in the Taiping Jing, and is refining his spirit to achieve the primordial spirit.
suddenly,
As he contemplated the legacy of the Martial Saint Yan Kong, he felt his Refining Spirit Realm becoming even more perfect.
In an instant,
Chen Jie felt that his condensed primordial spirit was almost pure white and spotless, like the bright moon in the sky.
The light of the crescent moon continuously spilled into the night, falling upon Chen Jie's newly formed primordial spirit.
Moonlight can be seen, but it is invisible and intangible.
At this moment, Chen Jie's mind was as clear as a spring, spotless. He felt the moonlight falling on his newly condensed primordial spirit as if it had gained sentience and turned into a strand of silver silk.
He was highly focused, channeling his thoughts into his mind.
After the primordial spirit merged with the moonlight.
Unconsciously, Chen Jie possessed a special sense of fulfillment, ease, and profound solidity.
Moonlight is an invisible force!
at this time,
Chen Jie's primordial spirit was like a flawless white statue, constantly absorbing the moonlight from the crescent moon in the sky.
As the primordial spirit exhaled, it condensed continuously under the moonlight, becoming increasingly substantial.
"The full moon shines brightly, moving through the void!"
Suddenly, Chen Jie recalled the description of Moonlight by the Wuji Sword Saint.
The biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that Buddhism is extremely complicated.
When Chen Jie was practicing, he rarely studied Buddhism; he preferred to refer to Taoist scriptures.
He rarely bothered to understand those other tedious explanations, always feeling they were a waste of time.
Buddhist scriptures, needless to say, are not only profound and difficult to understand, but if one tries to comprehend and practice Buddhism, at best one will be fine, but at worst one may go astray and become possessed by demons.
However, at this moment, Chen Jie's primordial spirit was bathed in the moonlight.
He seemed to be able to feel the moonlight's whispers, and his mind was crystal clear.
This feeling of fulfillment made his external dharma form become more solid, and his primordial spirit dharma form was full of power.
It seemed as if he had suddenly grasped the profound meaning of the Taiping Jing.
The Taiping Jing is not a simple Taoist scripture, but a cultivation method.
A thousand rivers reflect a thousand moons!
This cultivation method is a closely guarded secret for condensing the primordial spirit.
Once mastered, one can use the power of their primordial spirit to condense the light of the moon and temper their soul.
If one can cultivate to the point of mastery, after the primordial spirit leaves the body, one's thoughts will be clear and transparent, and one can condense moonlight into sword intent to kill enemies thousands of miles away.
By fusing the moonlight with the indestructible Vajra Body, one not only gains immense power and indestructibility, but also becomes more agile.
This kind of primordial spirit that has merged with the moon's essence is also known as the 'Vajra Moon Essence Imperishable Body'!
After mastering this technique, your entire body will become as clear and transparent as crystal.
The two different forms of sunlight and moonlight will form a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) array, manifesting supernatural powers and leading to ascension to immortality.
"The moon represents yin, the sun represents yang; only by uniting yin and yang can one break through to the seventh realm of meditation—attaining the Dao!"
Chen Jie suddenly seemed to realize something.
He hasn't yet broken through to the stage of "sitting in oblivion" in his spiritual cultivation, but he has already found his direction.
boom--!
Next,
He focused all his energy on condensing his primordial spirit, absorbing the moonlight and integrating it into his primordial spirit.
After a while,
He could clearly feel that the power he had cultivated to condense his primordial spirit was constantly growing stronger.
"The moon wanes after it is full, and water overflows when it is full! How can the primordial spirit have a shadow?"
Suddenly, he discovered that his condensed primordial spirit had a faint shadow that appeared among the trees.
but,
As his mental energy weakened and his primordial spirit dissipated, the moonlight gathered around him quickly disappeared.
The shadow that had appeared when the primordial spirit was condensed just now naturally disappeared instantly.
hiss--!
After the power of his primordial spirit dissipated, Chen Jie actually felt a weakness in his divine sense.
Just like the moonlight that had just gathered, it instantly exhausted all his energy.
If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't dare to continue practicing in this situation.
but,
Chen Jie, however, does not have this problem. He possesses a large amount of 'life essence' and the essence of 'flower of death', which allows him to replenish his energy in a timely manner.
After his primordial spirit dissipated, he quickly resumed his cultivation technique and focused his attention.
After drinking a bottle of life essence, he regained his radiance and peak condition in less than fifteen minutes.
He silently circulated the Taiping Sutra in his mind, while simultaneously comprehending the deeper mysteries of the Vajra Gong.
Before he knew it, Chen Jie had been practicing his martial arts until late at night.
As the crescent moon sets behind the mountains, the roosters in Qinglan Town begin to crow.
call--!
Chen Jie let out a long breath and withdrew his divine sense.
After Yuehua merged into his primordial spirit, his divine will became even more resolute than before.
It seems that his entire state of mind has changed drastically.
His primordial spirit became more refined, and his willpower became unwavering and unshakeable. (End of Chapter)
