Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

Chapter 600

Fu Shaoping quickly drew out his long sword and said in a deep voice, “I will hold it back, you find a chance to attack!” His figure flashed, and the blade flashed a cold light, going straight to the monster’s head. The monster reacted very quickly, waving its claws to block Fu Shaoping’s attack, and at the same time, its tail swept across, forcing him to retreat again and again. Seeing this, Nangong Wan quickly went around to the side of the monster, and the sword flashed like lightning, piercing the monster’s abdomen. However, the moment the sword pierced into the monster’s body, it seemed as if it had pierced steel, making a harsh friction sound.

“Its scales are too hard!” Nangong Wan cried out and quickly retreated. The monster was enraged and turned to pounce on her, its claws like knives, going straight for her throat. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping shouted and slashed down with his long knife. The blade brought a sharp gust of wind and hit the monster’s back. Although this attack did not break the monster’s scales, it successfully attracted its attention. The monster roared and turned to attack Fu Shaoping.

Nangong Wan took the opportunity to observe the monster’s weaknesses and found that there was a relatively soft scale between its eyes and under its abdomen. She whispered, “Shaoping, its eyes and under its abdomen are its weaknesses!” Fu Shaoping understood and quickly adjusted his strategy. He swung his long sword and continuously attacked the monster’s eyes, forcing it to retreat again and again. The monster was enraged and its attack became more fierce, but Fu Shaoping relied on his flexible body to keep a distance from it.

Nangong Wan seized the opportunity, leaped up, and pointed the tip of her sword directly at the monster’s abdomen. She concentrated all her internal strength on the tip of the sword, and the sword light was like a rainbow, instantly piercing the monster’s weak point. The monster let out a shrill scream, twisted its body violently, and finally fell to the ground, turning into a pool of black water and merging into the Styx.

After the battle, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were both panting, with beads of sweat on their foreheads. Nangong Wan put away his sword and said softly, “The monsters in the Styx are more difficult to deal with than each other. We must be more careful.” Fu Shaoping nodded, his eyes still alert, “The road ahead is dangerous, but we have no choice but to keep moving forward.”

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood side by side on the wall of Tiannan City, overlooking this prosperous capital of cultivation. The streets were bustling with people, and the cultivators were wearing various robes, flying on swords or walking and talking. The air was filled with rich spiritual energy. Nangong Wan gently brushed his hair that was messed up by the wind, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: “Shaoping, this Tiannan City is indeed well-deserved. The spiritual energy is so abundant, no wonder it can attract so many cultivators.”

Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, his eyes deep: “Indeed, but the purpose of our trip is not just to travel. I heard that the ‘Tiannan Secret Realm’ contains the inheritance of ancient monks, which may be an opportunity for us to break through the realm.”

Nangong Wan turned his head to look at him, with a smile on his face: “You are always so calm, but this time I agree with your idea. The trip to the secret realm is worth a try.”

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion not far away. They saw several monks gathered together, discussing something in a low voice. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other and walked over tacitly. One of the monks in green robes saw them approaching and took the initiative to bow and said, “Two Taoist friends, are you interested in the ‘Secret Realm of Southern Heaven’?”

Fu Shaoping nodded slightly: “That’s right. I wonder if you have any advice for me?”

The green-robed monk smiled and said, “We are here for this purpose as well. How about we travel together? There are many dangers in the secret realm, and more manpower is always a good thing.”

Nangong Wan chuckled: “That makes sense. In that case, let’s go together.”

In this way, Fu Shaoping, Nangong Wan and the green-robed monk and other five people set out on a journey to the secret realm. Along the way, they passed through a dense forest, with trees towering into the sky and branches covering the sky. Occasionally, a few roars of monsters came from a distance, which made people alert. Nangong Wan clenched the long sword in his hand and whispered: “There are many monsters in this forest, everyone be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wolf-shaped monster suddenly jumped out from the bushes, with sharp fangs and fierce eyes. Fu Shaoping’s eyes turned cold, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed. The sword light was like lightning, and it went straight to the monster’s throat. Nangong Wan was not to be outdone. His figure flashed, and the sword tip drew a beautiful arc, hitting the monster’s flank. Seeing this, other monks took action one after another, showing their magical powers. After a moment, the monster wailed and fell to the ground.

The green-robed monk wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, “The swordsmanship of the two Taoist friends is indeed amazing. I admire you very much.”

Fu Shaoping put away his sword and said calmly, “It’s just a little trouble, not worth mentioning.”

Continuing forward, they crossed the steep mountains again. The mountain wind was howling, the clouds were lingering, and the mountain road under their feet was narrow and steep. Nangong Wan stood on a protruding rock, looking into the distance, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: “The road of cultivation is indeed like this mountain road, full of dangers.”

Fu Shaoping walked up to her and whispered, “But it is these hardships that make us grow.”

Nangong Wan turned to look at him, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: “You are right.”

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. The entrance of the secret realm was shrouded by a powerful barrier, and the surrounding area was filled with rich spiritual energy, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in secret. The green-robed monk frowned and said, “This barrier is very important. It is said that it requires the collection of five ‘Tiannan Orders’ to open it.”

Fu Shaoping nodded: “Let’s each look for clues and collect the tokens as soon as possible.”

After some twists and turns, they finally gathered five tokens. Nangong Wan inserted the last token into the groove in the center of the restriction. Suddenly, the restriction glowed brightly, and the entrance to the secret realm slowly opened. Everyone looked at each other, with both expectation and vigilance in their hearts.

After entering the secret realm, they found that this was an independent small world, with spiritual energy so rich that it almost turned into substance. The surrounding scenery was picturesque, with mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees, all emitting spirituality. However, this beautiful scene hides endless dangers. They explored carefully, avoiding several traps, and finally stopped in front of an ancient palace.

The palace was majestic and magnificent, with ancient runes engraved on the door, giving off a sense of vicissitudes. Nangong Wan said softly: “This should be where the inheritance is.”

Fu Shaoping nodded: “Be careful, there may be a guardian.”

Sure enough, when they stepped into the palace, a huge stone puppet suddenly woke up, with red light flashing in its eyes, and wielded a huge stone axe to attack them. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan quickly fought back, and the sword light and the stone axe collided, making a deafening roar. Other monks also took action, each showing their magical powers. After a fierce battle, the stone puppet was finally shattered and turned into a pile of rubble.

Nangong Wan panted and laughed, “This puppet is really difficult to deal with.”

Fu Shaoping put away his sword, his eyes firm: “But it’s worth it.”

Deep in the palace, they found the inheritance left by the ancient monks. A high-level technique lay quietly on the stone platform, surrounded by several precious magic weapons. Nangong Wan picked up the technique, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes: “With these, our path of cultivation will be smoother.” Deep in the ancient palace, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood in front of the stone platform, their eyes fell on the high-level technique. The technique was carried by an ancient jade slip, the surface of which was engraved with complex runes, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing, as if it contained infinite mysteries.

Nangong Wan reached out her hand and gently touched the jade slip. She felt a warm touch on her fingertips, as if some power was calling her. A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: “Shao Ping, this technique… seems to be very compatible with my spiritual power. I can feel it resonating with me.”

Fu Shaoping stood beside her, his eyes deep and his tone steady: “This technique is extraordinary, perhaps it is a legacy left by an ancient great power. Try to sense its content first and see if you can interpret it.”

Nangong Wan nodded, placed the jade slip on her forehead, and closed her eyes to concentrate. After a moment, her brows slightly wrinkled, then relaxed again, with a look of surprise on her face: “I saw it! This technique is called “Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Technique”, which is a supreme mental method based on spiritual veins and integrating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Its operation path is extremely mysterious, and it can actually transform spiritual power into nine layers, each layer has different power.”

A hint of interest flashed in Fu Shaoping’s eyes: “Nine Heavens? How does it work specifically?”

Nangong Wan opened his eyes and handed the jade slip to Fu Shaoping: “You try it too.”

Fu Shaoping took the jade slip and also put it on his forehead. After a moment, his expression became solemn, and then he showed a trace of admiration: “It is indeed mysterious. This technique is based on the Dantian. The spiritual power first gathers in the Dantian, and then is divided into nine spiritual veins, which lead to the limbs and bones. Each level corresponds to a spiritual vein. The spiritual power circulates in the spiritual veins, gradually condenses, and finally turns into the power of the nine levels.”

Nangong Wan nodded: “That’s right. However, the formula of this technique is extremely obscure, and requires a very high level of understanding to understand. Listen to this paragraph -” She whispered: “‘The spirit gathers in the dantian, the qi flows through the nine meridians, the sky is mysterious and the earth is turning, and all things return to one.'”

Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and said slowly: “This formula means that the spiritual power first condenses in the Dantian, then flows through the nine spiritual veins, and finally transforms the power of heaven and earth into one’s own use. It is indeed mysterious.”

Nangong Wan’s eyes flashed with excitement: “Shao Ping, why don’t we try the operation path of this technique now to see if we can gain some insights.”

Fu Shaoping nodded: “Okay, but be careful, this technique is unusual after all, if you don’t perform it properly, you may hurt yourself.”

The two of them sat cross-legged and began to run their spiritual power according to the path of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Technique. Nangong Wan closed her eyes and silently recited the formula in her heart. The spiritual power slowly gathered in her dantian, and then divided into nine spiritual veins, flowing to her limbs and bones. She felt an unprecedented power surging in her body, as if there were nine layers of heaven rotating in her body, and each layer of heaven brought different insights.

Fu Shaoping was also immersed in the practice of the technique. His spiritual power circulated in the nine spiritual veins and gradually condensed. He felt that his spiritual power became more pure, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth. However, just as he was about to break through the first level, he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of spiritual power, as if some force was hindering his operation.

He suddenly opened his eyes, frowning, “This technique is indeed not simple. When I reached the first level, my spiritual power actually stagnated.”

Nangong Wan also opened his eyes, with a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were shining with excitement: “I felt it too, but this feeling of sluggishness made my control of spiritual power more precise. Shao Ping, perhaps this is the brilliance of the technique, it allows us to constantly hone ourselves in the process of breakthrough.”

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan found a place deep in the palace where the spiritual energy was the most abundant, and sat cross-legged, ready to start practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Technique. The spiritual energy from all around gathered like a trickle, as if providing a natural boost to their practice.

Nangong Wan took a deep breath, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him, and said softly: “Shao Ping, this technique is extraordinary. We need to concentrate on it and not be distracted at all.”

Fu Shaoping nodded, his eyes firm: “Don’t worry, I will enter the cultivation state with you. If there is anything abnormal, we will stop immediately.”

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of trust and tacit understanding. Then, they closed their eyes, formed seals with their hands, and began to circulate their spiritual power according to the formula of “Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art”.

The cultivation path of “Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art” is extremely mysterious. Spiritual power needs to be condensed in the dantian, and then divided into nine spiritual veins, leading to the limbs and bones. Each heaven corresponds to a spiritual vein, and the spiritual power circulates back and forth in the spiritual veins, gradually condensing and finally turning into the power of the nine heavens.

Nangong Wan silently recited the formula in her heart: “Spirit gathers in Dantian, Qi flows through nine meridians, the sky and the earth turn, and all things return to one.” She felt the spiritual power slowly condense in Dantian, and then divided into nine spiritual veins, flowing to her limbs and bones. Each level of heaven brought different insights, as if there were nine levels of heaven rotating in her body.

Fu Shaoping was also immersed in the practice of the technique. His spiritual power circulated back and forth in the nine spiritual veins, gradually condensing. He felt that his spiritual power became more pure, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth.

During the practice, Nangong Wan suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power, as if some force was hindering her movement. She frowned slightly and said softly: “Shao Ping, I feel that my spiritual power has become stagnant in the third heaven, and it seems that it can’t continue to move.”

Fu Shaoping opened his eyes, looked at her, and said in a steady tone: “Don’t force a breakthrough, stop first and adjust the direction of your spiritual power. Perhaps our understanding of the technique is not thorough enough.”

Nangong Wan nodded, slowly stopped the flow of spiritual power, and readjusted her breathing. After a moment, she tried to flow spiritual power again. This time, she felt that the spiritual power was much smoother in the third heaven. A smile appeared on her face: “Shao Ping, I succeeded! The stagnation of the third heaven is gone.”

Fu Shaoping smiled slightly: “Very good, this shows that our understanding of the exercises is constantly improving. Continue to practice, but pay attention to the balance of spiritual power and don’t rush for success.”

Nangong Wan nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: “I understand that the path of cultivation needs to be gradual and cannot be rushed.” (End of this chapter)
