Great Yin and Yang - C80
For me, Master has spent one tenth of his cultivation. That is to say, ever since Master started cultivating when he was young, it has been seventy years. Ten percent means six or seven years.
In the past when I was watching TV, Jin Yong’s martial arts films had a fragment of his master’s ability to teach it to his disciple. In the past, I thought that it was all fake, but it turns out that there really was such a method. Master told me that this technique is unique to our sect.
The favor of saving my life is as big as a mountain, and the kindness of teaching cannot be repaid. To meet such a master, what reason do I have to complain about my rough life?
I was born into the Four Suns, and I was born to cultivate the Dao. Perhaps this is what fate has in the heavens.
In an instant, I thought of many things. My master patted my shoulder and said, “Alright …” Dao Ming, you should take a good rest … In a few days, when Gui Sha devours your soul and replaces your body, Master will be unable to help you at all. In a short period of time, I will be training behind closed doors, so everything here will be left to your eldest senior brother. If there’s anything, you two can discuss it with each other … ”
After saying this, Master turned around and walked away while trembling. I walked to the door and saw that the old man’s body seemed to have aged a lot. After passing down that tenth of his cultivation to me, his spirit seemed to have collapsed and he was staggering as he walked. He could only say to himself in his heart, “Dongfang Tian Luo, you must let this old man down …”
Just as his Master had said, the next morning, when he woke up to eat, he found that his Master was not sitting alone at the small stone table in the courtyard. On the stone table, there were two bowls of instant noodles, steaming hot.
I walked over to Eldest Martial Brother and asked, “Master went into closed door cultivation?”
The eldest senior brother nodded silently.
“Then how can Master eat?”
The Eldest Senior Brother ate the instant noodles as he said to me, “Master’s cultivation is at the peak of perfection. He has already reached the level of not eating anything at all. Even if he doesn’t eat anything for a month, there shouldn’t be any problems …”
“Fasting …” This is the first time I’ve heard of this term, but I didn’t expect that Master had already practiced it to this extent.
The eldest senior brother looked a little strange today, as he was no longer as open-minded as he was before. After eating for a while, he said to me, “Youngest junior brother …” I don’t know what Master has done to you, but I just know that Master definitely won’t be wrong. Just remember Master’s words, don’t let down everything Master has done to you … ”
I nodded. My nose started to ache and tears started to fall from my eyes. I ate them.
For the next few days, I didn’t dare to relax for even a second, as if I was a sponge, constantly absorbing water. Every day, I would intensify my cultivation, not daring to relax for even a moment, for the last twenty days or so, I didn’t dare to relax at all. But after my master passed on one tenth of his cultivation to me, my progress could be described as rapid.
As long as I enter a meditative state, I will be able to instantly feel the surrounding area filled with the existence of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Then, I will absorb the Spiritual Qi into my own body and store it in my Dantian for my own use.
Every day, I felt that I was improving. I quickly grasped the simple techniques recorded in the < Yin Yang Dao Scripture >.
It’s just that the arcane skills behind me are getting harder and harder. I need a strong cultivation to support them, so I won’t be able to easily master them like before.
Time passed day by day and in the blink of an eye, the one month deadline arrived. That Gui Sha was going to devour my soul tonight and replace me.
Master told me before that I had to overcome this hurdle by myself, and no one can help me. Master gave me 10% of my cultivation, this is already his greatest help.
As I just entered the sect, my dantian’s Qi Sea’s capacity is still very small. At most, it can only hold my master’s cultivation.
I am clear of all of this in my heart. Whether or not I can resist the devouring of the Ghostly Fiends will be up to me.
I must hold on, or I will be ashamed of my master.
For the entire day, I shut myself in my room and didn’t eat nor drink. I tried my best to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible and store it in my dantian to defend against the ferocious Demon Ghost.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark. At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open and the eldest senior brother entered.
He walked in front of me and said with a serious expression, “Youngest junior brother, tonight is the day that Gui Sha will fight with you for your body. Master has also warned me repeatedly, letting me guard you today, whether you can succeed or not will be up to you.”
“Thank you, eldest senior brother …” I said politely.
The Eldest Senior Martial Brother nodded his head and didn’t say anything else. He just sat beside me and started cultivating with his eyes closed.
The weather was rather bad tonight. The sky was dark. There was no moon or stars. The cold wind outside blew against the courtyard, causing the trees to sway left and right. The sound it made was like the howls of evil spirits.
I had been holding my breath, waiting for the moment to come.
It wasn’t until 12 o’clock at night that I suddenly felt something unusual in my body. A lump of cold energy rose from my dantian and slowly spread towards my eight extraordinary meridians.
Gui Sha finally made his move.
Following the method in the Yin Yang Dao Scripture, I poured all of my attention into the sensing field. While absorbing the unending stream of spirit energy from the heaven and earth, I used the spirit energy stored in my dantian to fight against the cold energy.
The moment I felt my resistance, that ice-cold aura immediately surged out from my body and spread towards the top of my head …
