Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Alas, This Damn Appearance_1

"Eh? Divine Descent of the Holy Spirit! The method of the Preservation of the Prime Spirit?!"

However, after reading the content inside, Mao Ruxue’s frown disappeared.

Instead, her face showed surprise.

Because she suddenly realized.

What was recorded in the scroll Chen Chang’an had given her.

Was actually an annotation of the Divine Descent of the Holy Spirit technique!!

What is this...?

What’s going on?

Elder brother is also versed in this cultivation technique?

Mao Ruxue suddenly didn’t understand.

You should know, Divine Descent of the Holy Spirit is a solid seventh realm divine skill.

To practice seventh realm divine skills, a cultivator must have at least reached the Six Realms!

Aside from that, nobody else could possibly learn it!

Not to mention mastering it, even understanding it is impossible!

Because those who haven’t reached the Six Realms, can’t even decipher seventh realm scriptures!

They can see the words, but cannot comprehend them!

Their brains cannot withstand such a method!

If forced, the only outcome would be a violent death, nothing else!

The reason why she was able to learn was because she received aid from a long-deceased ancient predecessor.

That predecessor used the last of his True Spirit to consecrate her, and only then was she able to learn.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible!

And as for this, 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

This is the result of a Great Cultivator of at least the seventh realm sacrificing his True Spirit!

How does elder brother know this?

Could it be that he also received the consecration of some great predecessor?

Is this not a little off?

With a troubled heart, Mao Ruxue continued reading.

No matter whether or not this situation is correct, since there are annotations, she might as well read them.

However, no sooner had she started reading,

her expression grew even more surprised the more she read.

No other reason,

Because she discovered, the annotations that elder brother Chen Chang’an wrote for her in this scroll.

Are even more detailed than the original annotations she received from their ancient predecessor!

Moreover, they are so detailed it could be said they go beyond the syllabus!!

[The Great Dao has no form, it nurtures heaven and earth. The Great Dao has no name, it possesses both turbidity and clarity. It nurtures all things under the heavens, like a heart that hasn’t calmed...]

[Observe emptiness and it becomes empty, observe silence and it becomes silent, once the true Dao is entered, the true name is obtained...]

[Therefore, everything under heaven, can all transform and change behavior. If the behavior is upright, Heaven and Earth’s Ten Thousand Laws will return, it can be anticipated...]

The original only explained how to cultivate and how to enter the door.

But in Chen Chang’an’s version, it includes the starting point of this technique’s development, the manner of meridian operation, the responses needed when facing different cultivation techniques... and a series of annotations have all been explained.

Even to the point that, after being annotated, this divine skill is no longer just a divine skill.

It has become a kind of skill!

A skill that everyone can learn without any cultivation threshold!

How...how can this be?!

To simplify a divine skill into a technique, such a thing is not unheard of in the Wuxiang realm,

Legend says it happened in that once upon a time when there was strife everywhere, and all the heavenly immortals and buddhas were contending against each other.

But, to turn a divine skill into a technique, the cost is severe.

The most important point is being able to familiarise yourself with the skill to the point of no return!

Otherwise, success is impossible!

Could it be that elder brother has such a deep understanding of the Divine Descent of the Holy Spirit that it’s beyond comprehension?

Mao Ruxue suddenly had a thought that she found preposterous.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Mao Ruxue continued reading.

She wanted to try and see if she could successfully cultivate according to elder brother’s method.

[Therefore, everything under the heavens, can all transform and change behavior. If the behavior is upright, Heaven and Earth’s Ten Thousand Laws will return, it can be anticipated...]

According to this sentence, she as a cultivator doesn’t need to exhaust effort to convert True Qi into Holy Spirit Qi.

Instead, she just needs to pose a particular gesture at a specific time,

Then circulate the original True Qi, and that will do it!

First form: Hands uphold the heavens, the Spirit enters the body!

Soon, Mao Ruxue began to practice according to the described steps.

Second form: Look to the left, the Spirit gathers at the top!

Third form: Exhaustion and grief leads to damage, the Spirit traverses the whole body!

The fourth move, Gathering of One Hundred Yin Points, Inverting Yin and Yang!

The fifth move, Clenched Fists and Wrathful Eyes, Fusing the Buddha into Dao!

A total of five moves, under these five moves, many secrets of True Qi circulation are annotated.

To be honest, these secrets of True Qi circulation are quite difficult, but for Mao Ruxue they are not a big problem.

Soon, she completed a full cycle of Qi circulation as instructed.

Huh?

Is it really effective?

When a full cycle was completed, Mao Ruxue immediately discovered that strands of bluish-green True Qi began to emerge from her body.

This kind of True Qi was something she was all too familiar with, being the Holy Spirit Qi that emerges every time she activates the "Divine Descent of the Holy Spirit" talent.

Now, this Qi no longer required her to expend effort to maintain, it naturally emanated continuously from within her body.

Furthermore.

In terms of quality, it seems to be significantly better than what she used to produce!

This...

Is outrageous!

Then, Mao Ruxue once again activated the "Purple Sun Heart Scripture" and the "Bodhi Rebirth Sutra".

Whether it’s useful or not can’t be judged just by appearance, it must be seen in practice!

Hum, hum, hum~!

In no time, her body was again enveloped by the rhythm of the different Dao and Buddha methods.

Then, just like before, the two Dao rhythms came to the previous point of failure.

At this time, Mao Ruxue was incredibly tense.

She was fearful that she would fail again.

Hum, hum, hum~!

The next moment, the collision between Daoist and Buddhist techniques happened as expected.

Moreover, not knowing if it was an illusion, but Mao Ruxue felt that this collision was even more violent than the previous one!

The intensity of it made both her head and heart numb.

However, unlike before, this time the vibration, despite being intense, was kept within a tolerable range each time.

Every time the collision was about to exceed its limit, a pure bluish-green Qi would forcefully disperse the two of them!

Moreover, Mao Ruxue discovered that her resistance to the collision has greatly improved compared to before.

If her previous resistance to collision was rated at 1, then now it is at least 1.5!

That’s a full fifty percent increase!

This...?

It’s simply incredible!

Soon, under such continuous collisions, Mao Ruxue completed a great cycle of circulation successfully.

At this moment, on her body, the methods related to the Dao and the Buddha, which were unique to the two, flowed and manifested continuously,

Although not too much, her aura has still taken a big leap boost.

And this, is just the beginning!

Without a doubt, if in future she continues to cultivate in this way.

The "Purple Sun Heart Scripture" and the "Bodhi Rebirth Sutra" will be completely conquered by her,

Then, the real practice of both Dao and Buddha will be accomplished!

"This must be a coincidence, right?"

"Yes, it must be a coincidence!"

Mao Ruxue really didn’t believe that the method Chen Chang’an gave was so effective.

Immediately, she practiced again.

She wanted to see if what happened just now was really a coincidence.

However.

By the time she completed a great cycle of circulation, and saw the familiar Dao and Buddha methods which had gathered once again,

Mao Ruxue stopped talking.

A coincidence could happen once.

But twice?

There aren’t so many coincidences in the world!

"Could it be, brother is hiding his true skills?"

"Is he actually a tricky old monster with a crafty plan?"

Looking through the window to the pavilion on the back hill shrouded by countless ancient trees, Mao Ruxue couldn’t help but think so.

"Oh my god, if this is true."

"Then Brother brought me up the mountain, could it be he wanted me to be his furnace?"

Mao Ruxue suddenly felt a wave of panic.

However, soon after, Mao Ruxue picked up the bronze mirror on the table.

Seeing the extremely beautiful face reflected inside, she suddenly felt relieved again.

Oh, this cursed beauty.
