From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The reason is very simple.

Wang Yaozu, Lu Jin, and Hong Guniang all forgot about the effect of Miss Liu's "Time-Flash Skill," which allows her to avoid all attacks based on Qi-based supernatural abilities!

Although Gao Huan's green flames can burn the spirit and soul, they are essentially constructed by processing thoughts with Qi, so they can naturally be "evaded" by Miss Liu.

Besides that.

Everyone overlooked one thing: Miss Liu's life cultivation was actually not weak, only slightly inferior to Gao Huan's. With the help of Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, it was only natural that she would defeat Gao Huan.

For most extraordinary individuals, as long as the difference in their life cultivation level is not the difference between an adult and an infant, the level of cultivation is not the key to determining the outcome of a battle.

The effectiveness of one's cultivation and flexible combat thinking are the keys to victory or defeat in a battle.

Especially in life-or-death battles, there are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong, especially the disciples of the Tang Clan in Sichuan, each of whom is an expert in assassination and killing.

Especially the Dan Shi technique, a legendary skill of the Tang Clan, is said to be fatal to anyone struck by it.

A relatively fair competition—

It might really only happen in martial arts tournaments or boxing matches with many rules and restrictions.

After winning, Miss Liu stared intently at Jiang Liu, throwing a tantrum, and said, "I don't care! I still need your help! Otherwise, I won't introduce you to Old Master Hong in the future!"

Are you a child?

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes, then saw Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu staring at each other with their watery eyes, pretending to be pitiful, so he had no choice but to agree.

Regarding Miss Liu's ability, it is the ability to flash.

At first, Jiang Liu thought it was a special kind of "golden body" that was immune to all magic - a golden body doesn't necessarily have to be golden.

However, as time went on, especially after mastering the skill of mental scanning, Jiang Liu's view of this ability changed.

It wouldn't be wrong to call it a special kind of golden body, but to be more precise, this innate technique is actually more similar to gathering form and dispersing energy.

That's right!

It's about gathering form and dispersing energy!

However, it is different from the form of the Reverse Life Triple, which completely disintegrates itself into a Qi state.

The reverse generation of gathering and dispersing energy is actually two states: "gathering form" and "dispersing energy".

The Willow Maiden is a superposition of "gathering form" and "dispersing energy"!

If Jiang Liu were to find another example, he could only say that this ability is somewhat similar to the technique of gathering and dispersing qi controlled by the Chosen One in his previous life's "Black Myth: Wukong".

That is, while ensuring the integrity of one's physical form, the body presents a transparent state, which can make one immune to all damage.

Using mental energy to scan and examine Miss Liu's ability from a microscopic perspective, the principle behind its operation is that Qi circulates throughout the body and spontaneously condenses at the spine. The twenty-four vertebrae vibrate in a very special way, affecting the body's magnetic field, causing Qi to adhere to every cell in a very special form, which in turn makes the cells present a peculiar superposition state that is both physical and Qi-transformed.

This type of "Qi transformation" cannot achieve the same abilities as cultivating the third level of Reverse Rebirth, such as flying through the sky, manipulating Qi clusters for attack, defense, etc., but the Qi will not be consumed in any way, and the purity of the Qi can be completely guaranteed, as well as immunity to all attacks based on Qi.

As for physical attacks—

It can actually provide some immunity, but compared to immune superpowers, it doesn't seem as obvious.

However, after activating this special "gathering and dispersing of energy" superposition state, Miss Liu's life cultivation also increased greatly. She possessed the power of a dragon and tiger, and her Qi was long and continuous. Even if she was injured, she could recover at an extremely fast speed.

Therefore.

"Sister Liu, your technique is actually quite perfect. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the timing and intensity."

This was Jiang Liu's advice to Miss Liu.

Control the heat.

The key to Qi cultivation lies in relying on the circulation of Qi throughout the body to refine one's nature and life force. However, nature and life force are inseparable from the five internal organs. The different cultivation methods of extraordinary people are essentially different in how the eight extraordinary meridians harmonize the Qi of the five internal organs. Taking the most obvious example of the five elements, extraordinary people who know fire magic will inevitably cultivate the fire Qi of the heart the most for the Qi of the five internal organs in their chest; those who know earth magic will definitely focus on the earth Qi of the spleen.

Some unorthodox supernatural abilities involve using the Qi of the universe to stimulate other organs in the body.

For example: telekinesis.

The organ that this innate ability focuses on must be the brain.

Both the Taoist and Buddhist schools of practice, regardless of their level or quality, involve the entire body!

Perhaps due to the limitations of ancient exploration at the microscopic level, the methods did not fully involve the cellular level. However, from the perspective of the human body as a macroscopic system, the methods of these two schools of practice do indeed involve all visible flesh, blood, organs, and tissues of the human body.

Some innate special abilities also involve the entire macroscopic system of the human body.

Childhood destiny, human magnetism... and Gao Huan's "gathering form and dispersing energy" golden body.

The circulation route of this innate ability is already very perfect. Although the exercise of this ability is based on the spine, the key to all human movement lies in the spine, which is like a great dragon. By stimulating this innate ability, the technique will naturally become perfect and even powerful!

Therefore.

Jiang Liu's advice to Miss Liu was to control the flow of Qi throughout her body. The twenty-four vertebrae correspond to the twenty-four solar terms. If she could control the flow of Qi in the four seasons and six solar terms, her strength would surely rise to a level far beyond what she is now!

"Is Sister Liu really that amazing?"

Hearing that Miss Liu's cultivation was only a matter of mastering the technique, Lu Jin exclaimed in surprise, "She is truly not to be underestimated!"

"Haha! I'm just that gifted!" Miss Liu put her hands on her hips, extremely proud, and then began to practice Tai Chi in the courtyard. With each punch and palm strike, her Qi surged, already showing the demeanor of a master!

Due to her innate talent, she learned close combat techniques extremely quickly. During her time at the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, she followed Zhao Xinchuan to learn Tai Chi and Bajiquan, making rapid progress and even being able to apply what she learned to other situations. Her talent seemed to be born for combat.

With that carefree and unruly personality, he's just like a grown-up brat!

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in Ghost Hand Wang Cai's opera troupe was extraordinary, they really wouldn't be able to stand her!

"But then again..."

Lu Jin asked in confusion, "According to your classification, Brother Jiang, isn't the control of fire based on the day's fire, the month's fire, and the fire based on the movement of the stars? What about the fire based on the four seasons and six qi?"

"A division in another direction."

Jiang Liu recounted his experience of comprehending the principles of the Five Elements and Six Qi Elixir and its Nine Revolutions in the Ghost Realm, saying, "The sun, moon, and stars correspond to the changes in time."

Upon closer examination, the ancients used the Golden Crow, the Jade Rabbit, and the constellations of the Zhou Tian (a celestial sphere) to determine the time.

The four seasons and six qi correspond to climate changes in space. Five days make up a hou, three hou make up a qi, six qi make up a shi, and four seasons make up a year.

Changes over time and changes in climate are mutually reinforcing.

Currently, I have a basic grasp of the timing of the four seasons and six qi in terms of climate change. The circulation of qi throughout the body can change autonomously with the changes of the six qi in the outside world. With the help of the eight and nine principles, I already have the ability to change and can also refine the six qi for my own use.

In the passage of time, I have already progressed towards the Jade Rabbit's mastery of fire control. Only when I have mastered both the sun and moon, corresponding to the changes of the four seasons, and further refined my form with the sun and moon, will I have truly reached the state of the Jade Rabbit hidden in the moon and the crow hidden in the sun, and only then can I perform the true work of planting lotus in fire and refining the golden elixir.

# Chapter 418 Guidance: Performing Crosstalk

"You've taken the Great Celestial Immortal Technique from 'Journey to the West' as your cultivation guide!" Wang Yaozu finally realized where Jiang Liu's cultivation philosophy came from.

So they were cultivating according to the incantation of the Great Celestial Immortal Technique!

But who in the world can truly cultivate by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon?

The moment this thought arose...

Wang Yaozu slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that they actually had a cultivation technique that could absorb the essence of the sun and moon: the Sun and Moon Spring and Autumn Technique!

This is what Jiang Liu referred to as the Sun and Moon Refining Form!

In addition, Boss Cha's Ape Strike Technique can also draw on the essence of the moon and the sun, but it is much more difficult than the method of refining the body with the sun and moon.

“Tracing back to the origins of myths and legends may be the true essence of spiritual practice.”

After saying that, Jiang Liu said to Miss Liu, "In your future cultivation, pay more attention to your breathing. Try to understand the flow of Qi in your body under the six Qi of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire with a calm and peaceful mind. Try to control that state and use your own special ability to refine your life force internally."

"I'm a genius!"

Miss Liu was bursting with confidence.

"What about the two of us?"

Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu inquired about their cultivation practices.

Jiang Liu had already made plans for both of these.

The "humming and haing" breathing techniques are unique in that the "humming" technique is performed through the nose and is crucial to the spirit; the "haing" technique is performed through the mouth and is crucial to the lungs. Both techniques transform the attack method, which is based on "breath," into the form of "sound."

To go further and reach the state of "the greatest sound is the silence", one cannot be limited to "qi" and "sound" alone, but must take the "resonance" during the internal cultivation of life as the foundation.

To this end, Jiang Liu created the Hunyuan Qi Method, which uses the breath of "hum and ha" to regulate the internal organs and primordial spirit, and to circulate the whole body. This is used to coordinate the various cultivation methods he practices, deepen his connection with heaven and earth, and perceive the rhythm of all things in the world, thereby further tempering his physical body.

Simply ensure that your breathing is performed using the Hunyuan Qi method to cultivate your inner life force and harmonize your body and mind!

but.

Jiang Liu did not intend to pass it on to Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, as their cultivation levels were not yet sufficient. Passing it on would only make them overly ambitious.

Therefore, Jiang Liu's choice for the two was—

"Performing crosstalk?"

Xiao Yun was puzzled.

"That's right, it's crosstalk."

Jiang Liu chuckled.

The act of exhaling, with a hum or a ha, is captivating and soul-stirring. Its working principle is to interfere with the innate Qi within another person's body, disrupting their magnetic field, causing their consciousness to become scattered, or even detach from their body.

That's right, the purpose of disturbing the innate Qi is also to disrupt the human magnetic field!

According to Jiang Liu's observations, all cultivation methods in the world, whether Eastern Qi cultivation or Western alchemy, require the involvement of "human magnetism" to exert their abilities.

Whether it's using a technique to bring one's own magnetic field to a certain state or directly controlling one's magnetic field with the technique, there is no essential difference.

However, most of their abilities are not directly manifested through a person's magnetic field.

The rhythmic movements caused by the circulation of Qi throughout the body and natural breathing create a special flow state in the body's magnetic field.

Through performing crosstalk, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu can gradually coordinate their breathing through their mouth and nose with the process of circulating Qi throughout the body, achieving a rhythm that suits their physical condition.

"Essentially, this is to help you understand the difference between Qi and Qi. The former, Qi, is the innate Qi; the latter, Qi, is the breath."

"When Qi and Qi combine, you can truly manifest your ability to transform Qi into the form of 'sound'. And the vibration that comes with sound is the key to helping you refine your inner spirit and internal organs, and it is also the foundation for you to master the great sound that is silent."

Upon hearing that "crosstalk" could actually help them enter such a profound state, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if Jiang Liu was just fooling them.

"The Tao is in excrement and urine."

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "Performing crosstalk is also a kind of cultivation. Facing thousands of audience members, you shouldn't be stage-frightened, but rather composed and at ease. Moreover, you should maintain a state of Qi circulation while interacting with them."
