From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

However, those with mediocre talent can also take advantage of the Qi formation to travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening within a single day. They will certainly not be willing to spend much effort on studying and cultivating, but will instead want to acquire more ready-made spells.

Secondly.

It is roughly that the "self" of the past discovered that the weekly weather pattern that divides the global plate into "four continents" with Africa (Asia) as the center... may conflict with the natural weather pattern of the earth itself.

If a man-made aura, even one created by artificial means based on the natural world, causes problems with a certain aspect of a planet's ecology, then the will of Heaven will intervene, either through natural erosion or human destruction, causing the aura to disappear.

Jiang Liu once used the divine power of "Law of Heaven and Earth" in another time and space. He was three hundred feet tall and lasted for thirty seconds. Although he could not compare to the ten thousand feet tall of the Great Sage Wukong and Little Sage Erlang in the book, the fact that he could use it proved that the heaven and earth themselves had their own energy patterns, which could achieve a state of unity between heaven and man and the human body's energy patterns.

So, did the "me" of ancient times misjudge the situation, creating the Qi pattern of the Four Continents, which conflicted with the Qi pattern that the planet itself wanted to develop and perfect?

With this in mind, Jiang Liu temporarily noted down the idea and returned to the present.

Xiao Xi had already landed, her fish tail transforming into legs. With a light leap, she arrived in front of Jiang Liu, her slender fingers pressed to her lips, and she whispered, "Shh~ Don't tell my mother about me bringing you to Dinghai Palace to observe ancient history, or I'll definitely be grounded!"

"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." Jiang Liu extended his right little finger.

"This is?"

Xiao Xi was curious.

“Pinky promise. In my hometown, it’s proof of a contract,” Jiang Liu said in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.

Is that so?

Xiao Xi nodded solemnly, then extended her right little finger and hooked it with Jiang Liu's little finger, thus "forming a contract," and imitated Jiang Liu shouting, "Pinky promise~ Hanging~ One hundred years~ No changing."

"Only a hundred years?"

Xiao Xi was puzzled, "We people of Zhou Tian generally have a lifespan of eight hundred years."

In ancient times, our ancestors lived to be over a hundred years old!

It's true!

"Then let's change it to eight hundred years."

Jiang Liu didn't mind at all and shouted the slogan again, changing "one hundred years" to "eight hundred years".

"Hehe, this way of making a contract is really interesting."

After letting go of Jiang Liu's little finger, Xiao Xi looked at her own little finger, hooked it again, and then let go, skipping away.

"Heh, maybe he's older than me, but his temperament is no different from a little kid's." Jiang Liu chuckled, glancing back at Dinghai Hall. He slowed his breathing, and based on his previous senses, he held the shape of a Hunyuan Pill in his hand, walking towards his room while using his Qi to draw talismans.

Half an hour later, he had drawn a fish-dragon talisman and integrated it into his body and mind.

Within the body, the Qi and blood flow like a dragon, the heart surges, and each heartbeat is powerful and resounding, causing the vibrations to travel through the blood and blood vessels to the nine orifices, eight meridians, five internal organs, six bowels, and the primordial spirit and brain, creating a closer connection and interaction between the Qi of every cell in the body.

Within the mind's realm, waves surge across the four seas, and clouds drift and swirl. This is the place where the innate ape-heart was nurtured. Corresponding to the heart field of the physical realm, there is a celestial stone with four ancestral veins beneath it, which correspond to the four blood vessels of the heart of the physical realm. Now, as the fish-dragon talisman is completed, the qi and blood take form, transforming into four carp. With the will of the river, they break through the sea, transform into dragons upon seeing the wind, and roam the four seas.

It is:

Transforming from the mortal realm to the true self, roaming the four seas, with blood and energy surging like a dragon!

If Jiang Liu were to rely solely on his own perception of the earth's energy patterns, it would take at least three days to cultivate a single Fish-Dragon Talisman Seal.

However, thanks to Xiao Xi's guidance, he was able to see the true form of the Fish-Dragon Qi Formation, saving him three days of effort. He then mastered a Fish-Dragon Talisman, which made the connection between his mind and his will even stronger.

What followed was the transformation of fish and dragons!

From the mind's vision, one can manifest true dragons across the four seas; from the body's vision, one can cultivate qi and blood as powerful as a dragon.

If the Kunpeng Talisman completes Jiang Liu's Primordial Qi Technique, it makes him more sensitive to the timing and intensity of Qi refining.

This fish-dragon talisman completes the rhythm of his blood and qi, enabling him to integrate the vibrations generated by his heartbeat with the vibrations of all the cells in his body.

By this method—

Internal use can refine the essence of physical life—genes—and help Jiang Liu further improve his own genes by relying on the fourth level of gene lock.

When used externally, it can utilize the power of the vibration throughout the body, and with the help of Qi, it can split a mountain with a punch and part the sea with a palm!

This vibration can be used to forcibly manipulate the genes of others, or even help them unlock their genetic locks!

This trip was very rewarding!

Jiang Liu calmed his mind, sent his distracting thoughts into the cycle of reincarnation, found Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, and called Evelyn. He then led the rest of them to a relatively open, deserted garden behind the pyramid, preparing to give everyone a "cheat code".

“Those of you who have not cultivated your skills, whether you travel fifty miles alone or go into the sea to retrieve clams, it is extremely dangerous. Therefore, you need to undergo special training,” Jiang Liu said bluntly.

"We can also control the same power as you?" Jack's eyes lit up, eager to be the first to experiment.

“Any living thing can obtain Qi, but cultivation requires talent and effort. It cannot be achieved overnight, nor can power be directly bestowed upon you.”

Jiang Liu had no intention of letting them skip the steps of cultivation.

Unless they are involuntary reincarnators.

"What I'm going to teach you is a breathing technique. Maintaining this breathing while swimming may greatly increase your chances of survival."

"And what you need to do over these three days is to maintain this breathing while swimming, to feel the rhythm of your heartbeat and the waves, and to master this feeling..."

# Chapter 757 You've Caused Trouble, Don't Tell Your Master (Part 1)

The breathing method taught by Jiang Liu comes from the fish-dragon talisman. If we were to give it a name, we would call it the fish-dragon breathing method, which is the fundamental method for regulating the human heart and blood circulation.

Even if an ordinary person practices this method consistently, they may not be able to perceive the Qi within their body, but they can improve their blood circulation and make their strength and endurance surpass those of ordinary people.

If one can use this to comprehend the rhythm of the ocean waves and harmonize with it, one can refine one's internal energy and blood. When the blood in one's body is transformed into lead and mercury, it will be the moment when the carp leaps over the gate and transforms into a true dragon!

Jack and his group were overjoyed to have learned the Fish-Dragon Breathing Technique. Later, under Jiang Liu's arrangement, they prepared to go into the water to practice swimming, hoping to pass the punishment in three days!

Compared to diving into the sea to retrieve clams and steal cinnabar, it is safer to swim fifty miles alone.

Furthermore, as long as they survive, they have a high probability of being able to activate the Qi within their bodies through the Fish-Dragon Breathing Technique and truly enter the realm of cultivation.

"By the way, if you don't want to take any risks, you can just go out."

Having mastered the Fish-Dragon Talisman, and by using the Dharma Image Talisman to manipulate the universe, Jiang Liu was confident he could safely send them out of this realm and back to reality, without having to gamble with their lives again.

Therefore, before officially getting into the water to practice swimming and using the fish-dragon breathing method, Jiang Liu still mentioned it briefly.

But no one was willing to quit.

They were explorers, veterans, and mercenaries. Those who dared to participate were either alone, seeking thrills, or had a strong curiosity about exploring the unknown.

Now, as long as one can gain power through punishment, become a resident of "Atlantis," learn more about the history of this ancient civilization, and even learn the corresponding alchemy techniques, why would one give it up?

Even the one-eyed old man with only one eye refused to go out.

"A second attempt at persuasion."

Jiang Liu raised his second finger. "Things don't happen more than three times. I won't say it a third time."

Are you really sure you want to become like us?

Spiritual practice is not an easy thing; it requires perseverance, resistance to temptation, and adapting to the strange looks of others.

So, there's still time; I can see you out.

But still no one answered.

Leaving aside the material and cultural wealth that this land can bring them in the future, the mere fact that passing the test gives them the chance to gain superhuman strength, speed, and physique is enough to make these adventurous guys strive for it!

life?

Since they dared to get involved in this industry, they must have been aware of the consequences to some extent.

"Alright, I won't say any more. You will take the assessment in three days. Out of respect for you and for the sake of cultivation, I will not help you."

Jiang Liu's words were cold, causing Jack and the others to tremble. "On the path of cultivation, I can impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts to the best of my ability, but cultivation—"

Just like life, even parents can't help you for a lifetime, let alone teachers.

That's a personal matter for you two.

It has nothing to do with me.

These words were incredibly cold. Not only Jack and the others, but even Duanmu Ying had never seen Jiang Liu so "ruthless" before.

But Lu Jin nodded, agreeing with Jiang Liu's words.

[Lu Jin, don't you think this is a bit cruel?]

Because of the solemn atmosphere and Jiang Liu's cold gaze, Duanmu Ying was hesitant to ask Jiang Liu the reason, but noticed that Lu Jin also agreed with Jiang Liu's words, so she asked him a question.

Isn't this perfectly normal?

Duanmu Ying's question, however, puzzled Lu Jin, who countered with, "The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you."

【…Of course I know that, but it's not that cruel, is it? Jiang Liu was clearly quite concerned about them before!】

Duanmu Ying asked the question that had been bothering her.

That's because they hadn't been exposed to spiritual practice before.

After thinking for a while, Lu Jin realized that although the Duanmu family and the disciples of Jishetang could be considered families and forces in the cultivation circle, few extraordinary people would offend doctors because of their status as "doctors".

Why?

Who hasn't been sick?

Therefore, those who practice medicine do not need to pay too much attention to interpersonal relationships and rarely come into contact with the dark side of open and covert struggles. Compared with other practitioners, they are kind-hearted and somewhat simple-minded.

Duanmu Ying had gone through a lot with Brother Jiang and Lu Jin, and her temperament had become much more calm and strong, but she was still somewhat naive in "cultivation" and her understanding of cultivation.

Therefore, this type of doctor is definitely the least like a cultivator from the world of supernatural beings. On the contrary, they are naturally close to the Confucian ideals and incorporate the concept of "humanity".

Is there a different attitude towards practitioners and non-practitioners?

Duanmu Ying seemed to be deep in thought.

Do you know why Patriarch Bodhi banished Sun Wukong from the mountain?

After thinking for a while, Lu Jin recalled the principles of Journey to the West that Jiang Liu had told him in the past, and asked Duanmu Ying this question.

[Did Sun Wukong show off his skills and displease the Bodhi Patriarch? Or is it like Taoism in reality? I've heard that the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion have sent their most outstanding disciples down the mountain, mostly for worldly experience so that they could inherit their mantle?]

Duanmu Ying cited examples of events that had occurred at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain throughout history.

[No, the Bodhi Patriarch in the book is actually a level above our real-world Celestial Master's Mansion. He fully fulfilled the duties of a master: to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. As for the disciple's future, whether to follow the Tao or become a Buddha, that was his own choice. He neither interfered nor guided, letting the disciple explore and choose for himself.]

After Lu Jin finished speaking, he gave another example: "Sun Wukong was driven down the mountain by the Patriarch because he showed off his spiritual power by transforming into a pine tree in front of others. The Patriarch was harsh on him and felt that his life was in danger."
