Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 247: The Way Returns
He Qiuzhen held the red-gold feather in his palm with a solemn expression.

"Zhou Yan, you should be able to guess even without me telling you that this feather is the feather of the Vermillion Bird."

Zhou Yan nodded slowly.

The Suzaku Palace was not named Suzaku for self-flattery.

But is it because it was really favored by "Suzaku", one of the four legendary heavenly spirits, that it got this name?

He Qiuzhen said slowly: "There was a legend that in ancient times, this world had various powerful beings staying and living. Their power completely surpassed the thinking of the ancients at that time, and they were revered as gods."

"Of course, they are indeed as powerful as gods."

"Later, for unknown reasons, these beings quietly disappeared again. Some of them, grateful for the fanatical worship of Him by humans, left behind relics that contained the power of His true spirit before leaving."

"This Vermillion Bird Feather is one of them."

"Come, gather your mind, touch the wings of the Vermillion Bird, and let His true spirit personally teach you the Dharma."

After saying that, He Qiuzhen motioned Zhou Yan to stretch out his hand.

Zhou Yan started the spiritual burning again, slowly stretched out his finger, and lightly tapped it.

The moment his fingertips touched the red-gold illusory feathers.

All the sounds disappeared.

All the scenery is gone.

He seemed to be in a vast void.

In this nothingness, the space was instantly filled with red-gold light.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but look up and saw the boundless starry sky.

In this boundless starry sky, seven major constellations are formed by hundreds of stars, and these seven major constellations are covered by a huge bird-shaped existence in red-gold color.

Suzaku!

The huge divine bird flapped its wings and glanced at Zhou Yan.

boom!
Endless red-gold flames surged towards Zhou Yan, completely enveloping him, and finally shrank and gathered rapidly, all stopping in his spiritual orifice.

Zhou Yan's mind suddenly became clear.

There is no void, no universe, and no Suzaku.

His consciousness has returned.

However, the bit of true spiritual fire that remained in his spiritual orifice proved that what he had just experienced was real.

He Qiuzhen in front of him was looking down at the tablet in his hand.

"woke up?"

Zhou Yan looked around and hesitated: "Master, how long have I been here?"

He Qiuzhen raised his head and smiled gently: "Seven days."

"Seven days!?" Zhou Yan paused, "Is it that long?"

He Qiuzhen nodded: "It also took me seven days to come into contact with Him, although I felt like only a moment passed, just like you."

He asked, "How is the true method of cultivation of Suzaku Zhenjie?"

Zhou Yan nodded seriously: "I have learned it, it is indeed amazing!"

He was not being polite, but was truly impressed by the wonderful cultivation method bestowed by the Vermillion Bird.

It was precisely because he obtained this mysterious method of cultivation that he completely determined the foundation of his future cultivation.

Temper your spirit and strengthen your soul!
The body is the ark and the soul carries it to the other shore.

The body and shell are just temporary containers for the soul.

Only the true spirit is the essence of his existence. Only by strengthening the true spirit can he better control this ship of the soul.

The true meaning of Suzaku is to teach him how to cultivate his spirit from the inner scene to the outer appearance, and finally reach the other shore.

At the same time, Zhou Yan also understood more clearly that if possible in the future, he must find back his left hand and right eye that originally belonged to him!
In other words, what he really needs to find back is the missing part of his true soul.

If his true spirit is incomplete, his future spiritual cultivation will be full of difficulties and will become increasingly difficult.

The benefits of strengthening the true spirit have actually been reflected before.

The strength of the spirit is the outward manifestation of the strength of the soul.

Before, Zhou Yan, because of his strong spirit, was always adept and powerful whether he was practicing the secret martial arts of the main world, the Zhenwu martial arts learned in the Zhenwu world, or even the various skills and energies obtained after the fusion.

The same goes for warriors in the main world.

Those with strong mental strength can better exert the effect of the divine machine super-mind circuit.

After reaching the third level of the Realm of Truth and possessing the higher form of spiritual expression known as "spirit", one can suppress the spirits of those without spirit and enhance the efficiency of one's own spirit.

When one reaches the state of madness and is able to condense the "external appearance", it means that the strength of the soul is further enhanced. With the help of the external appearance, one can greatly enhance the ability to control extraordinary powers and amplify the power of extraordinary powers.

He Qiuzhen smiled slightly when he heard Zhou Yan's affirmative answer: "The Suzaku True Interpretation is the true method bestowed upon us by the Suzaku, which can lead us directly to the other side of the Great Dao. As long as you practice well, although the journey is long and difficult, you may be able to see the scenery on the other side in the end."

He continued, "To be more practical, as long as your soul is strong enough, you can condense the external form in the future, use the external form as the foundation, and manipulate the super-thought circuit in the divine machine, you can exert a strength far beyond that of ordinary divine machines."

"Speaking of which, if Yinglong Palace had not developed a divine machine that could control the extraordinary and allow the warrior's soul and spirit to be brought into play, then even if your master had cultivated to this level, he could only rely on his physical body to fight. In the era of cold weapons, being an enemy of ten thousand people would probably be the limit, and he would be far from having the strength he has today."

"Without the divine machine, the empire warriors can only fight based on their own bodies. At most, they can use their spirit to increase the power of secret weapons and improve the destructive power of their bodies. It's almost like using a high-configuration computer to run the lowest-level software."

Zhou Yan scratched his head: "Master, your metaphor is very vivid, but it doesn't quite match your age." He Qiuzhen laughed: "Although I am old, I don't want to be left behind by the times."

As he spoke, he sighed softly: "The only pity is that perhaps Suzaku was too disdainful to do it, so what he left us is only the way of the great Dao, but no way to protect it."

"Although the divine machine is good, it is ultimately just an external force."

When talking about this, He Qiuzhen revealed a little loneliness besides being free and easy.

Seeing this master who was almost unreserved in teaching him the Suzaku Avenue directly.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.

Then, he said, "Master, I have the art of protecting the Dao."

"Ok?"

He Qiuzhen looked at him in confusion.

Zhou Yan lowered his voice and said, "Master, you don't care about my background and taught me such a great way of cultivation. I have nothing to repay you, but I happen to have a small technique called Zhenwu."

He Qiuzhen trembled all over, and his gentle and elegant image was almost gone.

He stared at Zhou Yan, his voice a little serious: "Zhou Yan, do you know what you are saying?"

Zhou Yan didn't say anything, just looked around, then raised his right hand and lightly clenched his fist.

The next second, a large amount of true energy gathered and turned into true energy fire that wrapped around his right arm.

He Qiuzhen's pupils shook violently. With his level of cultivation, he could of course sense the strange energy in Zhou Yan's hand. Its nature was completely different from that of the divine machine.

And Zhou Yan didn’t have any magic equipment at all!

"Master, this move is called Flame Spear!"

While introducing himself quietly, Zhou Yan threw a punch. The flames turned into sharp spear shapes and shot out, hitting the metal ground on the spot, leaving a charred area.

Seeing this, he scratched his head awkwardly: "Master, I'm sorry."

"Stop!" He Qiuzhen crushed the tablet in his hand and stood up suddenly.

The next second, he waved his hand, and the shrunken form of Suzaku appeared, and his enormous mental power quickly swept across the entire five-story Lingguang Tower.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

Then he stared at Zhou Yan with a serious face: "How can you be so careless? You didn't even confirm whether there is any surveillance or eavesdropping here, and you just demonstrated it like this?"

Zhou Yan paused and smiled, "Master, if someone can deceive your mind and install surveillance cameras in your private residence, can I find out even if I check?"

He Qiuzhen shook his head: "This is a serious matter, don't take it lightly!"

Then, his expression finally softened: "Zhou Yan, that move you made just now was not the power of a divine machine. Could it be that it was not the power of some strange object?"

Because of the existence of cracks, all kinds of strange and bizarre objects can exert various effects similar to or even beyond supernatural powers.

That is why He Qiuzhen asked this question.

Zhou Yan nodded firmly: "This is the real martial arts, which can be popularized. It is an extraordinary technique that can cultivate special powers from nothing."

As he spoke, he did not use the flame gun this time. Instead, he directly stimulated the true energy to float on the surface of his body and transform it into a flaming coat.

In He Qiuzhen's undisguised eager gaze, he slowly said: "This is Zhenwu, named 'Wugui Shen', and I will return the favor to repay the master for teaching me."

"The art of protecting the Dao. Zhou Yan, you actually have this art of protecting the Dao that does not rely on external forces."

He Qiuzhen shook his head. Even though he was over a hundred years old and had seen a lot, he was still a little excited.

This world is very strange. There are divine machines, holy weapons, super beast mixtures, and transformed humans, and they can all manipulate the extraordinary powers in different ways.

However, the source of these extraordinary powers are essentially rift creatures. It is better to say that they are chaotic powers rather than extraordinary powers.

The only thing is that there is no extraordinary power that can be completely stimulated by the transcendent himself.

Now Zhou Yan casually displayed such an extraordinary skill in front of him.

"Is it really the day for the revival of my Suzaku Palace?" He Qiuzhen couldn't help but murmur.

Then, he looked at Zhou Yan seriously: "Zhou Yan, are you willing to teach me this Immaculate Body?"

"It can be done right now." Zhou Yan nodded slightly.

Ten minutes later, He Qiuzhen looked at the blazing Qi flame burning in his palm with a stunned look.

"It's that simple"

He clenched his palms and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

There is nothing simple or not simple
What’s the use of ten thousand volumes of false teachings? It’s better than a true book!

Zhou Yan beside him sighed: "Master, your spiritual foundation is too strong. It is not difficult for you to practice this Zhenwu."

He Qiuzhen turned around and said to Zhou Yan in an unprecedented serious manner: "Zhou Yan, listen to me. From now on, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not use this Zhenwu in front of others! This may subvert the foundation of the empire's rule. If Yinglong Palace finds out, there will be disaster!"

Zhou Yan nodded and replied seriously: "I understand."

"Then." A happy smile appeared on He Qiuzhen's face.

"I've long been tired of using this magical device."

"Master must practice in seclusion immediately!"
