From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Ordinary people cannot see the slightest difference, but for those who cultivate Qi, especially those like Ru Song who know the mysteries within, it is a shock to their hearts.

This is—

Her divine brilliance was restrained!

The river has only flowed sixteen times, yet it has reached this point?

Absolutely impossible!

After calming down, Ru Song and the others guessed that Jiang Liu might have been practicing the Treasure Chest Seal Dharani Mantra in his inner vision and comprehended the Five Seals of Shakyamuni, which was the effect of the technique!

It should be noted that even the oldest among them, Elder Rusong, had cultivated for sixty years but had not yet reached such a level of inner radiance and composure!

Actually.

Jiang Liu has indeed reached his destination.

Regardless of his profound cultivation of life force, even considering his previous life, he had already experienced the principles of life and death, but he still retained a youthful spirit in his heart.

What's so difficult about reaching the realm of inner peace and inner strength? For Jiang Liu, who had already "died once" in his previous life, his cultivation of life force had reached the required level, and the outward manifestation of his realm would naturally follow!

This also indicates that—

At this moment, Jiang Liu's cultivation level was already no different from that of the elderly Zhang Zhiwei and the current Dragon Tiger Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing!

The key to future Qi cultivation is mastering the timing of the Qi circulation. The Mind Monkey, Will Horse, Metal God, Wood Goddess, and Yellow Woman can all emerge together to help him refine essence into Qi, refine Qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness. The only thing missing is the timing, which is to make the Qi circulate in accordance with the rotation of the sun and moon in the external world.

In the realm of alchemy, the Quanzhen Daoists prioritize the cultivation of life and nature, and these two concepts can be separated for cultivation. For example, Liu Zhenguo has already graduated in cultivating life and nature, and is only missing the task of tidying up his physical body.

Jiang Liu also understood some of the internal alchemy theories from his previous life, but he did not cultivate a pill within his body. Instead, he treated his life as lead and mercury for internal refining, seeking to unify the three elements into a sacred embryo, uniting it with his body and mind, and attaining the Heavenly Immortal Fruit.

Considering one's own innate and acquired Bagua (Eight Trigrams) conditions, perhaps the key to refining the "Golden Elixir" lies in controlling the heat.

# Chapter 244 Spiritual Power

However, controlling the timing is difficult; one must make the Qi correspond to external climate changes, the cycle of the four seasons, and even the rotation of stars—

In the past, Jiang Liu thought that as long as he mastered Qimen Dunjia, he could perform calculations and then adjust the frequency of Qi circulation. However, after cultivating himself and cultivating his inner life, he realized that in order to truly control the timing, he had to personally experience the cycle of the sun, moon, and years.

Of course, there are shortcuts too—

The Eight Extraordinary Techniques: Feng Hou Qi Men!

After cultivation is complete, by establishing the central palace with the internal organs, one can perceive the changes in the cosmic climate and thus achieve control over these changes.

Although Jiang Liu's Qimen Dunjia method uses the five internal organs to determine the central palace, he does not understand various Qimen Dunjia techniques and cannot truly use this method to perceive the world for a while. He still has to rely on himself to slowly comprehend the rotation and changes of the climate of the universe and to practice the art of grinding water.

Fortunately, the Dharma Image Seal could also help him perceive the heavens and earth...

"Brother Jiang, your cultivation has improved again!"

Lu Jin spoke first, "Could it be that you've reached the Heavenly Realm?"

"Reaching the Heavens? Not a chance yet."

Jiang Liu laughed.

However, by practicing the Dharma Image Seals and circulating the Eight-Nine Arcane Techniques, he can indeed establish a close connection with the outside world and its energy field.

If the ability to harness the power of heaven and earth is considered the mark of "reaching the heavens," then Jiang Liu has indeed reached that level.

But is that all there is to Tongtian?

Jiang Liu was still unaware.

"Benefactor Jiang, have the obsessions of the white and green snakes completely dissipated, and have their spirits returned to heaven and earth?" Ru Song regained some of his strength, silently recited the Dharani of the Box Seal, and, unable to detect the presence of the white dragon and the green dragon, asked aloud.

It was at this moment.

Dust is constantly falling off the walls inside Leifeng Pagoda.

"Oh no! The tower is about to collapse!" Luo Yinyin of Baopu Taoist Temple shouted.

The group immediately crawled out through the hole at the bottom of the tower.

After running thirty meters, Jiang Liu stopped and saw that one corner of the base of Leifeng Pagoda was tilted, and the entire core of the pagoda had collapsed like a tree.

Boom!

The tower struck the ground and shattered in an instant, sounding like thunder shaking the heavens or like ten thousand cannons firing simultaneously.

thereafter.

A thick cloud of smoke billowed up and spread in all directions. Seeing this, Ru Song, Zhen De, Ming Xin, Hui Li, Xing Kong, and Wu Ren kept chanting "Amitabha Buddha," while Zhang Mingyuan, Li Xuanzi, Luo Yinyin, and Yu Xiaozi were also filled with emotion.

The pagoda was built because of the two snakes, the green and the white. Now that their resentment and obsession have been dispelled, the Leifeng Pagoda no longer has any reason to exist, and naturally it will return to dust and ashes.

As for the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon—

He is not dead.

Both were originally enshrined in the Buddha's hair relic and they practiced the Treasure Chest Seal Dharani Mantra, thus their spirits were immortal; previously, they received the five seals of Shakyamuni from the river, which dispelled resentment and diminished attachments, and now they reside in his Niwan Palace (upper dantian).

Sometimes, it would wander around his spark of inspiration, like two dragons playing with a pearl, together depicting yin and yang;

Sometimes they swirled in a bluish-white light, together supporting that glimmer of light, like a lamp wick.

Thus, Jiang Liu could barely be considered to have mastered some methods of binding spirits... He could only control the Azure Dragon and White Dragon that guarded his sincere spiritual light.

"Go and have a look."

When the dust settled, Jiang Liu took the lead, determined to collect the 84,000 scrolls of scriptures inside the Buddha brick.

Upon arriving at the site of the collapsed tower, Jiang Liu picked up a brick and saw that there was indeed a hole on the other side, inside which was a scroll of scripture. He then used his magnetic powers to pull it out.

He also noticed that about ten people were entrenched in the direction the tower had collapsed, including Peng Qianwu, the head of the Tai Chi School.

Lu Jin, who arrived later, saw the scriptures inside the bricks and stones, and her eyes lit up. She also came to help.

Ru Song, Zhang Mingyuan, and their group did not have such thoughts. After all, their temples, monasteries, and Taoist temples were full of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, and as Taoist priests and monks, they would not be able to bring themselves to do something like picking up scriptures from ruins.

Therefore, they took their leave in advance, pretending not to know that Jiang Liu was digging for scriptures.

Just after Ru Song and the others left, Peng Qianwu led his six sons and eight men in police uniforms, carrying pistols, toward them.

"Is Sect Leader Peng also here to pick up bargains?"

Jiang Liu waved the scroll in his hand, his face beaming, "That's quite a coincidence."

Peng Qianwu did not answer, but simply waved his hand.

The eight gunmen then pointed their guns at Jiang Liu and Lu Jin.

Thump thump thump!

The moment the bullet left the barrel, the sound was deafening.

But Jiang Liu was already used to catching bullets. His magnetic field instantly covered the bullet, causing it to hover three inches in front of him, creating ripples.

The sight terrified the eight men, who swallowed hard and tried to pull the trigger again, but their bodies were already out of control. They were swept up by an invisible force, shot into the sky, and crashed into West Lake.

It was Lu Jin who made the move.

Since the intention is to kill them, it is perfectly justifiable for them to retaliate, even if they are ordinary people or members of the detective team!

Peng Qianwu hadn't expected that Jiang Liu and Lu Jin, after causing such a commotion with the other monks and Taoists, would still be able to use their Qi to unleash supernatural abilities. He became wary, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said humbly, "Young hero, you are truly a divine being! Can you pretend that what just happened never occurred?"

"What do you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu transformed his Qi into energy, which flowed throughout his body. His nine orifices trembled, and his muscles and bones trembled amidst the roars of dragons and tigers. His arms shot out like cannonballs, shattering the vacuum.

Subsequently, Qi transforms into strength, and strength takes form. Soft strength transforms into snakes, and hard strength transforms into dragons. With the combination of softness and hardness, it also controls the two snakes, green and white, in the ancestral aperture. The spirit of the green dragon merges with the snake form, and the spirit of the white dragon enters the dragon form.

In an instant, the transformed dragon and snake energy seemed to become sentient, its dragon eyes and snake pupils lighting up as it swirled and rotated, sweeping towards Peng Qianwu and his six disciples.

A mighty and magnificent procession!

Peng Qianwu was terrified!

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I won't use any other means. Just with this Dragon and Snake Transformation technique, if you can stop me, the matter of firing the gun just now will be considered wiped clean."

The Dragon and Snake Romance was derived from Peng Qianwu's Nine Dragons Combined, so when Jiang Liu used this move, he only used a fraction of his strength.

"Get out of the way!"

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Peng Qianwu roared and unleashed the Nine Dragons Combined Technique, pushing his six sons out of the sweeping range of the Dragon and Snake Dance. He then channeled his power into his nine orifices, unifying form, energy, and intention, and unleashing a layer of powerful energy field on his body in an attempt to block the attack.

However, under the impact of the transformed energy that had gained spiritual connection, the aura shattered instantly, dragons and snakes surged and writhed, and the force, like a storm, bombarded his body, instantly invading him and shaking his internal organs.

"cough!"

Peng Qianwu was sent flying backward, crashing into the woods, breaking more than twenty trees as thick as bowls, clearing a clearing, and rolling dozens of times before finally collapsing to the ground.

"father!"

The six sons shouted and ran over to help Peng Qianwu up.

He held on.

However, even if one suffers bleeding from all seven orifices, internal organs churning, and ribs broken, it is not advisable to engage in further conflict in the future, otherwise one's life will be in danger.

“I keep my word. Since you survived this attack and are still alive, the matter of having someone shoot you before is wiped clean.”

After saying that, Jiang Liu ignored Peng Qianwu and his six sons and continued searching for scriptures among the bricks.

"you!"

The fourth and fifth sons of the Peng family were about to make a move, but they were held back by the eldest, second, third, and sixth sons of the Peng family, who were afraid that they would anger the other party and thus die there.

"Jiang Liu, we admit defeat and swear that we will never offend the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe again!" Peng Changzi clasped his hands and swore an oath before he and the other brothers carried the immobile Peng Qianwu down the mountain.

Lu Jin glanced at them and asked Jiang Liu, "Brother Jiang, why did you spare their lives?"

"No matter what, my 'Dragon and Snake Romance' is derived from the 'Nine Dragons United,' so we're even."

Jiang Liu had his own reasons. "Besides, I don't want to be enemies with Peng Qizi. He has good talent and is quite upright. If we can take this opportunity to become the head of the Taiji Sect, we might have more friends in the future."

# Chapter 245 Did I cause the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda?

The collapse of Leifeng Pagoda caused a great commotion, which naturally attracted the attention of Wang Yaozu, Hong Guniang, and others.
