The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 4: The Sun Rises in the East and I Am Undefeated
When everyone heard this, their faces changed, especially the ten elders. They looked at each other in disbelief for a moment.

"Since Master Ren is dead, the position of Master should be taken by Deputy Master Dongfang. I want to ask, who else can convince the followers except Deputy Master Dongfang?"

After Tong Baixiong finished speaking, Elder Luo, one of the ten elders and the head of the Suzaku Hall, stood up and said loudly:
"Wait a minute, the matter of the leader's succession should be carefully discussed. Moreover, the leader has unparalleled magical powers, so how could he go astray for no reason? There are many suspicious points in this matter, and we should investigate it carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Baixiong drew his sword silently and cut off the head of Elder Luo in front of him with lightning speed, shouting:
"The deputy leader of the Eastern Sect was originally the successor of the Sect Leader. This Luo, who spread rumors and misled the people, has been killed by me. Who else is dissatisfied?"

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was oppressive and filled with a murderous aura, Bao Dachu, one of the ten elders, said with a serious face:

"Deputy Dongfang, since he became a martial artist, he has never lost a single battle. His reputation as an undefeated leader is known throughout the martial arts world. When people hear his name, they are shocked and their legs tremble. Regardless of his status or reputation, Deputy Dongfang should become the leader of our Divine Religion."

When the people present heard this, many of them cursed in their hearts:
"You are so good, Bao Dachu. No wonder you can become one of the ten elders despite your mediocre martial arts skills. Your fence-sitting skills are becoming more and more perfect."

In a moment, everyone in the hall clasped their fists and saluted, saying solemnly:
"Subordinates, please see the leader."

Xi Mingzhang's expression remained calm, and he said:
"Ten days from now, I will hold a succession ceremony at Blackwood Cliff and move into Chengde Hall. You guys should go down and prepare first."

"Yes."

starry night.

Xi Mingzhang sat cross-legged in a quiet room with a desk in front of him and a book on the desk, which was the "Sunflower Manual". After completing the seizure of the throne, he felt that his state of mind had greatly improved. He had a sense of tranquility, clarity, harmony and satisfaction, so he began to retreat.

He quietly flipped through the book, reading the contents which he knew by heart.

In order to practice magical skills, he castrated himself, made elixirs and took medicine to connect his internal and external selves.

Today's way to practice Qi is nothing more than guided by thinking, which is too vague and too empty. The heaven and earth separate the pure and turbid to create people. The practice of human Qi is nothing more than training the empty spirit to cleanse the muddy and turbid. Qi is the master of life, and form is the function of the body. .

To practice this skill, one must first cultivate the mind, clear it of distracting thoughts, and be detached from the world. If one has distracting thoughts in one's mind, not only will it be in vain, but it may even put one's life in danger.

Xi Mingzhang read this with a calm expression, and then he went on to explain the reason for castration in the treasure book.

If you want to practice magical skills, you have to castrate yourself with a knife. If you don't, the heat will arise from the body when the skills are practiced. The heat will rise from the body and the body will be on fire, jumping up from the bottom, causing restlessness and disorder. Even if the heat stops, the injuries will not stop.

After castration, true Qi is generated naturally and flows into Dantian without any hindrance.

He practiced for more than two years and finally understood it thoroughly. If he wanted to practice the magic skill, he had to castrate himself, make elixirs and take medicine to connect his inside and outside. The key was in the second half of the sentence, which was the essence of practicing the skill. The first half was just an introduction to practicing the skill.

To put it simply, it starts with practicing internal skills, and then taking aphrodisiacs to achieve the effect of practicing. However, after taking aphrodisiacs, an extreme feeling of burning heat will be produced in the body, making the practitioner feel burning with desire and restless, resulting in the inability to concentrate on practicing, and inevitably going astray, paralyzed and dying.

Even if you use external methods, such as taking a cold shower or practicing in an ice room, it will still hurt the internal organs. You can only use this kind of physical means to solve the problem roughly, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing mania and meet the requirements of practicing this skill.

After Xi Mingzhang flipped through the "Sunflower Manual", he said silently in his heart:
"The way of martial arts is to practice external skills to strengthen the body and build a solid foundation, and then practice internal skills to generate true energy, and then open up the twelve meridians of the human body to become a second-rate master in the martial arts world."

“If one can open up all eight extraordinary meridians, he will be a top-notch martial arts expert. If one can open up the last two meridians, he will be a top-notch martial arts expert, and will be unrivaled in the martial arts world.”

He suddenly shook his head and laughed. This was a pure division based on internal strength. If it was to be divided specifically, it should be based on the three aspects of mind, body and skills.

Leaving aside the mental aspects of the low-level martial arts world, as for the skills, "Nine Swords of Dugu" and "Sword Technique of Exorcism" can explain everything. The former made Linghu Chong lose all his internal strength and was able to defeat first-rate masters, while the latter only took Lin Pingzhi a few months of practice to be able to kill everyone.

The "Sunflower Manual" is divided into four levels. The first two levels, Qi Sheng and Qi Zhen, correspond to opening up the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians respectively.

The third level of Void Pill, the method is, after opening up the Ren and Du meridians, the majestic true qi gathers and disperses between the Dantian Qi Sea and the limbs, and then gathers in the Dantian, turning into an illusory Void Pill. After practicing the "Sunflower Manual", the moves are already as fast as thunder, and there is no need for moves. A casual move that catches the enemy off guard is a killing move. When reaching the third level, the skill says that one can inherit the righteousness of heaven and earth and can change the sky and the earth. His body movements and speed will be doubled, just like teleporting.

As for the fourth level, there are only a few mantras, which make people feel like flowers in the water or the moon in the well.

Xi Mingzhang didn't take it seriously, as the copy of "Sunflower Manual" he was practicing was only an incomplete one.

Immediately, he put down the book in his hand, turned his five hearts to the sky, concentrated his mind and closed his eyes. This body only needed to open up the Du channel to be promoted to the level of a top-notch master. This retreat was to feel the opportunity to break through.

As the sky was about to brighten, an invisible aura emanated from Xi Mingzhang's body, causing his robe to move without wind and his black hair to rise slightly.

After nearly an incense stick of time, Xi Mingzhang raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of eyes with a bright light.

There is a tall bronze mirror in the quiet room. Since practicing the "Sunflower Manual" is likely to cause a drastic change in one's character, Xi Mingzhang does not want to become the Dongfang Bubai in the original plot line who holds a needle, embroiders dragons and phoenixes, is inadvertently charming, and falls in love with a man.

Therefore, I placed a bronze mirror specially so that I could pay attention to my posture at any time.

Perhaps it was the big bell in my mind that was both illusory and real. After practicing the third level of "Sunflower Manual", I felt that my spirit was perfect and my energy was full. My state of mind was clear and smooth. I had a feeling that I had a natural understanding and was reborn. Having a photographic memory was just basic skill.

Moreover, I didn’t feel much of it at the beginning, but when I practice now, it is much smoother than in the past few decades, just like I used to walk on a tree-lined path, but now I have changed it to a flat and wide road.

According to previous experience, this breakthrough retreat would take at least seven or eight days, but it was accomplished overnight.

Xi Mingzhang came to the bronze mirror and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Now there have been obvious changes in both his figure and appearance. His tall and sturdy figure has become thinner and taller, and his tough and masculine appearance has become much softer.

In addition, his skin, which was like that of a baby, made him look several years younger. He had an uncanny handsomeness and looked like a young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

"Rejuvenation? Am I practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality?"

Xi Mingzhang stared at the bronze mirror and whispered to himself:
"I just have some new insights into the Sunflower Manual. I think I did it right, right?"

He paused and continued in an uncertain tone:

“It seems that the fourth level of the transformation of heavenly beings into humans, the growth of all things, and the transformation into gods after three thousand merits are not all out of reach.”

Nine days later, Blackwood Cliff.

The open-air hall was bustling with activity, as a 200-member orchestra, a gong and drum corps, and a horn corps played music.

Amid the sound of drums and music, members of the Sun and Moon Sect came up one after another. These people were apparently divided according to the names of their sects. Their clothes were of different colors: white, yellow, blue, purple, green, cyan, and black. The teams were dressed in gorgeous colors.

When nearly ten thousand elite followers were standing solemnly in their respective places, Xi Mingzhang, dressed in a light yellow brocade robe, descended from the sky, and then sat on the throne on the high platform with a golden sword.

Immediately, the sound of a gentle shout spread far and wide:
“The sun rises in the east, and I am the only one who remains undefeated.”

In an instant, deafening sounds of approval appeared in the open-air hall.

"The Sun and Moon God Sect is invincible in all battles. The leader of the Eastern Cult has cultivated martial virtues and has unified the world for thousands of years."
