Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 37 Obtaining the Secret of Immortality
Ling Donglai, who was standing in front of the two dragons, had an imposing manner like a mountain pressing down on their heads, making everyone present unable to move.

At the same time, he looked at Shuanglong with murderous intent and sighed, "Alas! Since the two of you have already mastered the "Eternal Life Secret", it will be the best cauldron for me to break through the realm of martial arts."

As if regarding the people around him as dead, he continued to mutter to himself, "Since I entered the martial arts world, I have been seeking to be invincible. Today, I have found you two as my cauldron, but it is not easy to publicize it. I can only kill everyone present and then fake the scene as a ship accident. This way, I can protect my reputation and destroy the bodies. Well, it is a happy decision."

After saying that, he was about to attack Yu Wenhuaji, Song Shidao and the others, but Kou Zhong didn't have time to think. He struggled hard, and with the last bit of strength he struggled to shout: "Grandmaster Ling, I lied to you. Since Ling Shao and I got the "Eternal Life Secret", we didn't even have time to read it. How can we practice it? Even if you capture us two, you can't do it."

When Ling Donglai heard this, his body shook, and the people around him suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies reduced, and they could barely move. However, the despair in their hearts did not diminish, because even someone like Xu Ziling who had no experience in the martial arts world knew that they already knew Ling Donglai's true identity. Even if it was to protect his own reputation, he would kill everyone present without leaving a single one alive.

Sure enough, what happened before was just the calm before the storm. Everyone present felt that the pressure on them was even heavier than before. Song Shidao and Fu Jun'er were unable to move and were unable to rescue.

At the same time, Ling Donglai was heard shouting at Kou Zhong, "How dare you lie to me! You! Are unforgivable!" He was about to kill Kou Zhong, who had deceived him, first.

Kou Zhong could not help but despair and had to close his eyes and wait for death, but he was also full of reluctance.

After waiting for a short while, he suddenly felt the pressure on his body relieved. When he discovered that he could move his body, he quickly opened his eyes, only to see Ling Donglai saying with a look of joy, "I've always wanted to see this expression, this expression full of despair and struggling. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

While feeling grateful for surviving the calamity, he was unaware that he had been fooled by the so-called hermit and supreme master in front of him.

Song Shidao and others standing on the other side were also feeling relieved, but at the same time they couldn't help but complain in their hearts that this man's real character was so bad. They really didn't know how those people in the martial arts world who admired him would feel when they saw this scene.

Ling Donglai saw the expressions of the crowd and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. If this kid hadn't deceived me first, I wouldn't have done this. What's more, the martial arts world is so big. If the two of them have precious treasures and don't keep them, they will one day cause a disaster that kills people. I just helped him understand the dangers of the martial arts world in advance, and they still want to thank me."

Everyone agreed with you on the surface, but in their hearts they thought that you were good at martial arts and everything you said was right.

When Kou Zhong got up with the help of Xu Ziling, he looked at the crowd and found that Yu Wengu, who was chasing them, was missing. When asking, he learned that when Ling Donglai released his control over the crowd, he had used light skills at lightning speed and ran to the river bank to meet up with the troops, and returned to the camp without looking back.

The operation was done in one go, as if he was afraid that Ling Donglai would change his mind and kill him again.

After everyone recovered, Song Shidao looked at Ling Donglai's face, which was exactly the same as it was during the Battle of Tianjin Bridge three years ago, and sighed that time seemed to have never passed on him.

After sighing, he stepped forward and greeted: "Master Ling's visit to our Song family fleet is the greatest honor for our Song family. I wonder where Master Ling has been in recent years? Why haven't we heard about Master Ling in the world for a long time?" This question also expressed the thoughts of everyone present, why they hadn't heard of the name "Ling Donglai" in the past three years.

Ling Donglai said, "Well, I will solve your doubts so that I don't have to explain it to others when I go out again. Three years ago, I felt that no one could discuss the Dao with me, so I traveled to India and the far west to find someone to discuss the Dao with. However, I spent three years without any results and was very disappointed. So I returned to the Central Plains recently."

After a pause, Ling Donglai continued, "I didn't expect that as soon as I returned, I heard rumors that the "Eternal Life Secret" had appeared in the Yangzhou area, so I came here for a visit. I didn't expect to run into it, and it saved me a lot of effort."

Song Shidao's awareness as a bootlicker is naturally extraordinary. In order to protect the two dragons related to Fu Jun'er, he took the initiative to persuade the two of them to give the secret of immortality to Ling Donglai in exchange for benefits.

Shuanglongjing didn't dare to think about what happened just now. Under Song Shidao's persuasion, he reluctantly handed over the "Eternal Life Secret". Ling Donglai took the "Eternal Life Secret" from Kou Zhong and said, "Ha, I know you are reluctant. Since you are destined to have this book, I will return it to you two after I have borrowed it and give you two a chance."

I saw that this book was made of black gold silk thread. It would not get wet when put into water and would not burn when put into fire. It was said to be written by Guangchengzi.

Inscribed on it were obscure oracle bone inscriptions and annotations by those who had obtained them throughout the ages. Although Donglai was familiar with the plot, he knew it was a useless task, so he skipped it and carefully looked through the seven pictures behind the oracle bone inscriptions.

I saw that these seven pictures were marked with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple arrows. Each picture seemed to be a completely different set of exercises. Not only were the paths different, but the acupoints and meridians selected were also very different.

The first step to this skill is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the acupoints, replenish oneself, and directly cultivate innate true qi.

However, during this process, practitioners will experience various situations that are very similar to being possessed by a demon, so that ordinary people will definitely regard it as being possessed by a demon and will not dare to continue practicing.

This is why, although this book is named one of the four great books, only a few people have actually mastered it.

In addition, to practice these diagrams, one must meet two conditions: no internal strength foundation and no intention to practice.

However, this is not a problem for Ling Donglai. He possesses "All Things in the World" in his body, so the internal strength requirement can be met. As for the spiritual aspect, he has already reached the state of unity between man and nature, which can be achieved unintentionally.

In the original novel, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling practiced the most complicated sixth and seventh pictures respectively, which made their internal Qi one hot and one cold, and their body Qi one yang and one yin, which complemented each other, but also resulted in two different personalities.

After flipping through it for a while, Ling Donglai gained some insights. These seven pictures represent seven different kinds of skills of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, and Shuanglong in the original book practiced the last two kinds of Yin and Yang.

He could not help but sigh that the "Eternal Life Secret" was infinitely stronger than the counterfeit "Cihang Sword Canon". If someone could master all seven parts of it, he would surely be able to reach the state of unity between man and nature (supreme master).

If there is a chance, find a master like Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun, and you will be able to break through the void and leave.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ling Donglai had mastered all seven diagrams and integrated them into "Senluo Wanxiang", which improved his own skills and enabled him to absorb the energy of heaven and earth more quickly, replenish himself, and heal his injuries faster.

But Ling Donglai still had a question, that is, what is the use of the oracle bone inscriptions written in the "Eternal Life Secret". Because anyone who writes a book will write down everything he has learned in the book, hoping to pass on his own teachings, but it is impossible to do such a useless work.

Like the founders of "Nine Yin Scriptures" and "Nine Yang Magical Skills", although they were afraid that their martial arts would be abused by people with ulterior motives, they concealed the key parts of them, but they would never deliberately not write them down. This is really not in line with their minds and original intentions.

What's more, Guangchengzi's original intention in writing this strange book was to spread what he had gained from Jingyan Palace, so it was even more impossible for him to write something useless to the person who obtained the book.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred to Donglai, as if he had thought of something. He was shocked and quickly turned the book in his hand to the oracle bone script. He looked at it for a long time, then laughed and said, "The secret of "The Secret of Immortality" has been solved by me."
