I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 45: The Fourth Divine Power: King Wucheng [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Seeing that his new master was about to start writing, Xue Jingliang immediately stood by and carefully served him with brush and ink.

Xue Jingliang still has a very positive attitude.

Although he has already achieved success and fame in the human world, he is a complete newcomer in the world of cultivating immortals.

His past reputation might bring him some prestige, making many monks look up to him but not dare to harm him easily.

But that’s it!
Since he had set out to seek immortals and the truth, Zhong Lixiao was the first immortal master to express his willingness to accept him as a disciple. Xue Jingliang was very grateful.

But in Xue Jingliang's opinion, his master seemed to have encountered a problem. After writing for a long time, he was unable to put pen to paper.

And Zhong Lixiao was indeed in a dilemma!
Xue Jingliang's life was so brilliant that a mere painting could not fully depict his brilliance.

While Zhong Lixiao was deep in thought, the words about Xue Jingliang in his mind echoed over and over again in his heart.

The young man joined the army, encountered setbacks, and was unyielding. He moved forward in the face of adversity, and was not moved at all even when faced with threats and temptations from immortal cultivators.
This is a person who is too perfect!
He was so perfect that all dynasties in the future would continue to elevate his status, and even the surname "Xue" would become mighty, loyal and brave.

How to portray a great man who is too powerful and has an extremely glorious past?
Zhong Lixiao gave himself questions, and then solved them in his mind over and over again.

This reminded him of the portrait of Napoleon painted by Jacques-Louis David in his previous life.

His hair was slightly bald and messy, and looked very greasy. He didn't look like the great leader Napoleon at all. It seemed that Jacques-Louis David was very perfunctory in providing for his parents who provided him with food and clothing.

But in fact, the details of the portrait fully display his worldly wisdom.

The candle in the painting is almost burned out, and the clock on the wall shows four o'clock in the morning. The paper next to it reads "Napoleonic Code", and there is a sword next to the code.

This small painting vividly reflects that although Napoleon started his career with military skills, he worked tirelessly until dawn to write the French Civil Code, and then painted his portrait with oil on his head.

“Oh, what a humble and hard-working leader!”

It is said that even Napoleon was very satisfied after seeing this painting and said, "You know me very well, dear David."

Does he need to learn a thing or two?
In Zhong Lixiao's opinion, the most important core of Xue Jingliang, the God of the Western Palace Army, is that he is invincible, becomes more courageous with each setback, and is always on the road.

Being invincible is an ability, being more courageous after setbacks is a quality, and always being on the road is the pursuit.

Zhong Lixiao thought about it, then picked up a pen and drew a scene in the luxurious room.

Rosewood furniture, incense, precious screens, swords, imperial edicts, majestic armor, and the most conspicuous position was where the royal seal was hung.

On the open desk below the seal, there was a letter weighed down by a paperweight.

It is clearly written on it——

I have practiced to the point where my body resembles a crane, and I have two boxes of sutras under a thousand pine trees. I came to ask Wu Yu, and he said, "The clouds are in the sky, and the water is in the bottle."

This is a poem asking about the way, expressing the reasons and pursuits of Xue Jingliang's resignation.

At the door of the room, one could see Xue Jingliang, the military god of the Western Palace, dressed in cloth, with one foot already stepped out of the luxurious room.

The plain clothes formed a sharp contrast with the luxurious house.

Although he is extremely old, the steps he takes are more firm than ever before.

Xue Jingliang, who was serving the brush and ink on the side, was also stunned. Is the master painting him?
Although everything in his mansion was basically based on imagination, the portrait of him resigning his post and leaving to seek immortality and learn the truth was painted extremely deeply into his heart.

Even though Xue Jingliang constantly warned him that all worldly achievements were fleeting and he needed to start all over again.

but.

How can we truly cut off the past?

After all, people are shaped by their experiences and memories!

Without the memories of this mortal world, Xue Jingliang would not be who he is today, let alone who he is in the future with the possibility of becoming an immortal.

This painting is really, really well done. Master understands him so well!

Feeling the satisfied smile of Xue Jingliang, the God of War of Western Palace, Zhong Lixiao smiled and immediately imprinted the painting on the scroll of the Atlas of Divine Powers.

Success at the first try, yay!
This also allowed Zhong Lixiao to have a deeper understanding of the magical power map.

Zhong Lixiao slapped his storage bag, took out the monogram from it, then looked at Xue Jingliang and said, "I want to take a drop of your blood."

Xue Jingliang stretched out his right hand without any hesitation.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and nodded, then gently wiped Xue Jingliang's index finger. A drop of blood immediately dripped, and the blood seeped through the back of the paper and sank into the page of the magical power map where Xue Jingliang's portrait was drawn.

Then, the portrait seemed to come alive.

As expected, a stream of information flooded into Zhong Lixiao's mind.

[Magic Power: King Wucheng]

[Introduction to supernatural powers: Originated from the soul core of the Western Palace Military God Xue Jingliang, the absolute self-confidence generated by the invincible legend, the martial arts are extremely prosperous and he was crowned king.]

【ability:】

【①Persevere, become more courageous with each setback, and never give up.】

[Having a strong heart, he will not be easily swayed by failures. He will be able to get back on his feet as soon as he has another chance. ]

[②Know astronomy from above and geography from below. 】

[It can keenly observe celestial phenomena, understand weather changes, automatically know the geographical location, and will not get lost. ]

【③The fate of a military god, the status of a martial saint, the highest luck, the best minister.】

[With the blessing of luck, one has a unique talent and advantage in "martial arts", and assisting others is more conducive to achieving success and making a name for oneself through the ages. 】

【④ With 100,000 banners, you can slay Yama Luo. You can refine your former subordinates into strong men and soldiers to fight with you.】

After receiving Xue Jingliang's magical power information, even though Zhong Lixiao had already obtained four magical powers, he was still very excited. Take the first ability for example, it seems to be just some good quality bonus, not very useful.

But in Zhong Lixiao's opinion, this is the most important quality that enabled Xue Jingliang to eventually become the "Military God of Western Palace" and the "King of Wucheng" from a cook.

This is also the most important quality for a monk!
You will never develop a mental demon because of a failure, and you will not become confused in your thoughts because of a defeat.

This is like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, one was indomitable and fought again and again despite repeated failures, and finally turned the tide.

If a person invests with the wind and waves but fails once, he will end up committing suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River.

As for knowing astronomy and geography, this is one of the most important qualities of a general.

The most typical examples are Huo Qubing and Li Guang.

One of them had his own military GPS navigation system and fought his way to the Huns' capital, while the other got lost along the way and was eventually defeated and captured.

When applied to immortal cultivators, it is also an amazing ability.

Take the time he got lost as an example. As long as he got a complete map and wrote it down, he would probably not get lost again.

As for the knowledge of astronomy, when applied to immortal cultivators, it is a manifestation of the ability of deduction.

When cultivators observe celestial phenomena, they are observing the mysteries of heaven and destiny.

The fate of a military god and the status of a martial saint, all of these are invaluable.

As for the top-level luck, it is an unimaginable benefit for cultivators, and they can even be more favored by heaven and earth.

Even if you pick up a treasure without leaving your home, you can turn misfortune into good fortune and have continuous good luck.

As for the last item, "One hundred thousand flags to kill Yama Luo", it is an extremely powerful military spell.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, this is an amazing inheritance, not to mention it is a more convenient magical power.

time flies.

Zhong Lixiao only felt that his mind was becoming clearer and clearer, his whole body was extremely comfortable, and the depth of his life was replenished again.

I just felt refreshed for a moment, and my understanding of martial arts in particular has improved to several levels.

The most important thing is that Zhong Lixiao felt that all the shadows in his heart seemed to have disappeared, and his mind became clearer than ever before.

Even magic spells can gain new understanding and benefits as a result.

As expected, it is a magical power inherited from the God of War of Western Palace, it is indeed powerful and boundless.

Zhong Lixiao smiled with great satisfaction and placed the seal in his hand heavily on the drawing paper.

Zhong Lixiao stood up, looked at Xue Jingliang and said, "Since you have passed my test, I will not regret it. From now on, you are my eldest disciple. As for the apprenticeship ceremony, let's keep it simple for now!"

Xue Jingliang certainly wouldn't be unhappy because there was no apprenticeship ceremony. At his age, he had long passed the stage of pursuing vanity.

For him, the real and ordinary life is the truth!
Xue Jingliang immediately knelt down solemnly, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, officially establishing the relationship between master and disciple.

"You are too old and your body is seriously weak, so I will give you this bottle of nourishing pills."

Zhong Lixiao took out a bottle of nourishing essence pills as a gift for his apprenticeship.

This amount of pills was not enough for him to take. If he had not acquired a large amount of waste pills this time, he would have been reluctant to just give him one bottle.

"Thank you, Master."

Xue Jingliang accepted it with great joy. He had come into contact with immortal cultivators a long time ago, so he naturally knew that the Essence Nourishing Pill was a good thing.

After swallowing the pill in one gulp, I immediately felt like a trickle of water was washing my body.

Even the old wounds on his body caused by long battles were healed, and his body felt more relaxed than ever before.

What a good pill, it’s really a good pill!

Xue Jingliang just felt that the future was full of hope.

Zhong Lixiao looked around and said, "This is the "Earth Mother Kung Fu" and "Red Flame Kung Fu" that I copied by hand. I will give it to you. You can try which one suits you better."

As a scroll king, Zhong Lixiao also repeatedly compared the four series of exercises before finally deciding to practice "Mother Earth Kung Fu".

Now he also gives the choice to his apprentice.

"Yes, Master."

Xue Jingliang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Dharma, wealth, companions and land, if one wants to embark on the path to immortality, Dharma comes first.

Logically speaking, with his previous status and position, he might not be able to obtain advanced methods, but it was not impossible for him to learn low-level and ordinary methods of cultivation.

but.

After all, he had an agreement with the Sirius Palace back then, and Xue Jingliang was unwilling to break the agreement, so he went out into the world alone to seek the way and immortality.

But a man cannot live without power for a day. Once he loses power, he will just be an ordinary old man and will become worthless.

Those immortal cultivators all "bullied him for being old and powerless", and even his former acquaintances were unwilling to teach him their methods, and there was even a lot of sarcasm in their words.

He is the only one who can taste all the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors!
And now he has finally successfully embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Although he has only taken the first step, he is still very happy.

after one day.

A paper crane carried the two people to Yuliangzhuang.
