The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

"How is the patriarch's health?" Wang Jiuling asked with concern, but Wang Chongyang did not answer.

"Stretch out your hand." Wang Chongyang stretched out his palm.

Wang Jiuling was stunned for a moment, and he also raised his hand. The two palms faced each other, and their true energy began to surge around them, causing their robes to flutter.

After a long while, Wang Chongyang released his grip.

"Wow, you've already mastered the Innate Skill to such a high level. You're probably not far from achieving mastery."

Wang Chongyang couldn't help but sigh.

It took him more than ten or twenty years to master the Innate Skill in the past, but now Wang Jiuling is already on the path to that.

"This disciple is still far from being good enough," Wang Jiuling said modestly.

Wang Chongyang smiled.

"When a person is first born, the baby's physical condition is closest to their innate state."

With the first sip of water, the first bite of food, and the first breath, the human body begins to transform into the acquired state.

The age of sixteen is a watershed moment; after sixteen, a person's body fully enters the realm of acquired development.

Wang Chongyang reminisced about those days.

"When I first created the Innate Skill, I was already over thirty years old. It took me ten years to achieve success and twenty years to reach the pinnacle."

Wang Chongyang looked at Wang Jiuling with the same gaze he would give a precious jade.

You are different!

The Innate Skill emphasizes the cultivation of both body and mind, with the mind and nature being the most important.

Even if someone like you came into contact with the Innate Skill before the age of sixteen, how many people have the mindset to practice this skill?

It is rare for people to have clear and open minds.

How many people, even at an advanced age, are still trapped in illusions?

Forcing oneself to cultivate will harm both oneself and others; waiting until one's mental state matures will mean missing the best opportunity.

Wang Chongyang's words reminded Wang Jiuling of Huanxi Miller. How old was that old fellow? Yet his mind was still so easily broken.

Wang Jiuling looked up at Wang Chongyang in front of him.

Returning to one's original state, defying one's original state, yet the patriarch's body remained aged...

Wang Jiuling asked a question.

"Master, I am always far from perfection, and I cannot cross that gap."

What exactly is this so-called primordial Qi?

Seeing the look in Wang Jiuling's eyes, Wang Chongyang smiled with satisfaction. "The fact that you were able to discover this problem shows that you have exceptional talent."

Then Wang Chongyang spoke. "Do you believe that mastering the Innate Skill means having skin like an infant, reversing aging, and achieving immortality?"

Is this the end?

Wang Jiuling nodded, then shook his head.

Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be like this...

But after observing the profound meaning of the Innate Skill, I feel that it will inevitably end up like this?

This is precisely the most contradictory aspect.

Hearing Wang Jiuling's question, Wang Chongyang nodded. "Your feeling is correct, but what if this isn't the end at all?"

Wang Chongyang's words made Wang Jiuling's eyes light up. Wang Chongyang continued:

"What is meant by 'primordial Qi'? Before a baby is born, does it have eyes? Does it have ears? And does it have meridians in its limbs?"

Wang Jiuling pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"Reporting to the Ancestral Master, of course not! Before birth, an infant has no five senses, no thoughts, and not even a body."

Wang Jiuling naturally knew this little bit of knowledge.

"This is the Primordial Qi!" Wang Chongyang said.

Wang Jiuling pondered these words. "But... there's clearly nothing here, so how can it be called primordial qi?" He was puzzled for a moment.

Wang Chongyang nodded.

"It means there was nothing at all, just like the heavens and earth, which in the beginning only had life, but no things."

This is the primordial Qi.

Even if you were to truly become young again, how could that be considered a complete life?

"True perfection is the complete unity of essence, energy, and spirit, where there is no longer a distinction between spirit and body."

Wang Chongyang suddenly smiled. "Let alone you, even I, this old man, am not yet at perfection!"

Wang Jiuling gasped, instantly overturning all his previous understanding of the Innate Skill.

"Perfection...it turns out that perfection only exists when there is nothing at all."

After a long while, Wang Jiuling also smiled.

"Master, I understand now. Perfection is something that doesn't need to be deliberately pursued at all."

"Disciples need not harbor any doubts, nor need they actively pursue perfection. Even if one were to regain youth, it would only be an outward appearance, not the ultimate goal."

As long as everything goes as you wish, keep going.

When one's lifespan comes to an end and one returns to heaven and earth, that is naturally a perfect ending.

Wang Chongyang simply smiled, got up, went to the edge of the cliff, and put his hands behind his back.

"Alright, kid, with your aptitude... I have nothing more to teach you!"

Wang Jiuling sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and cut off all his obsession with achieving mastery of the Innate Skill.

His internal energy circulated more smoothly, and when he opened his eyes again, they gleamed with a sharp light.

I felt refreshed and invigorated.

Wang Jiuling used to feel that although he was very close to achieving great success, there was always an invisible barrier between them.

This gap may seem small, but it is as insurmountable as a chasm.

At this moment, the barrier disappeared because Wang Jiuling no longer cared, so it naturally vanished.

When you strive to reach the other side of the mountain, that mountain becomes the obstacle in front of you, the "enemy" you need to conquer.

But when you sit cross-legged in front of the mountain, you no longer think about crossing it.

In the end, this mountain is just a mountain.

The road ahead of Wang Jiuling is now open; he is just waiting for the day he can truly walk it.

The mastery of the Innate Skill is truly not far off...

However, saying one thing and doing another is not enough; when faced with real temptation, he still needs to be able to keep his word.

The unity of knowledge and action, the cultivation of both mind and body—this is the essence of innate skill.

"Has Yang Guo gone back to Zhongnan Mountain too?" After discussing the Innate Skill, Wang Chongyang suddenly brought this up again.

"I saw his figure on the back mountain earlier."

Wang Jiuling nodded and recounted the story of Xiaolongnu's disappearance.

"Seeing that he was exhausted, I didn't dare to say anything bad. I wanted him to calm down first, and then we could look for a solution later."

Wang Chongyang nodded. "She's the only one left in the Ancient Tomb Sect. You'll need to take good care of her in the future and avoid damaging the harmony."

Wang Jiuling nodded.

"Master, rest assured, this disciple will."

Yang Guo was his only disciple, so even if Wang Chongyang hadn't said anything, Wang Jiuling would have had to help Yang Guo.

"Let's go down the mountain!"

Wang Chongyang waved his hand, and Wang Jiuling opened his mouth but didn't say anything more. Instead, he bowed to Wang Chongyang.

"Master! This disciple takes his leave!"

Wang Chongyang did not turn around, and Wang Jiuling slowly retreated until he could no longer see his master's back.

He should go down the mountain.

As Wang Jiuling walked along the mountain path, a fourth-generation disciple passed by, but was surprised and forgot to bow.

They didn't realize what was happening until Wang Jiuling walked over.

"Sigh! Don't you feel that Uncle Jiuling seems to have changed?"

"Yes! But I can't quite put my finger on what's different."

"Strange! Very strange!"

Just after Wang Jiuling returned to his residence, Zhen Zhibing rushed over with a very serious expression.

"Junior brother, you're finally back! Come and see this!"
