Yinshan Record

Chapter 239 Capturing Gods and Controlling Ghosts
The small, covered boat landed, and a faint light surged, transforming it into a dragon-headed boat. Its entire body was made from a single piece of thousand-year-old lightning-struck ebony wood, on which faint, scale-like patterns could be seen.

"Yu Lizi taught you how to refine magical artifacts, right?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at the flying boat and said, "I am only at the eighth or ninth rank of cultivation and cannot control this Hidden Dragon Flying Canopy. You have abundant magical power, so why don't you be the boatman?"

"Senior is indeed amazing. To use a flying boat as a magical artifact for such a wonderful place, I feel that this trip will definitely be worthwhile."

Su Che looked at the ferocious dragon-headed flying boat in front of him.

The "Records of the Mysterious Realm" states that for cultivators in this world who wish to travel long distances, nothing is faster than teleportation through the void. However, very few people possess such a powerful supernatural ability.

Therefore, the methods can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type relies on their own magical powers; whether it's riding the wind or soaring through the clouds, they always have a way to take off and travel back and forth.

The second type involves raising various spirit pets as means of transportation. This method is commonly seen in the East Sea and the Southern Wilderness, where there are many spirit species.

The third and most common type utilizes various magical artifacts, the most common being flying boats. Small flying boats mostly use the power of magnetic energy to take flight, moving at lightning speed. Large merchant guilds, like the Rakshasa Sea, possess giant flying boats resembling palaces in the clouds, known as starships.

The flying boat of the Yin-Yang Dharma King is clearly a small flying boat that prioritizes speed.

"As the saying goes, 'go far to patronize prostitutes and gamble nearby.' Since it's a good place, it should naturally be far away."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King's tone was neither Yin nor Yang.

Su Che released his own magical power, and the Yin-Yang Dharma King had already relaxed the restrictions, so the flying boat could be used with difficulty.

However, this flying boat clearly conforms to various laws such as Yin and Yang, thunder, and primordial magnetism, which are quite different from the Xuan Yin method that Su Che cultivates himself. Therefore, its effectiveness can only be about 70% or 80% of what it should be.

However, 70-80% is already enough.

Su Che leaped onto the boat, followed closely by the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

As Young Master Su released his magic power, a series of thunderous explosions faintly echoed from the lower part of the Hidden Dragon Flying Boat. A beam of primordial magnetic divine light flew out from the bottom of the boat, carrying it upwards little by little.

To be fair, piloting this flying boat felt quite magical, because it relied on the power of the magnetic field to move, so it required exerting force in two directions, one of which was to overcome the gravity of the earth beneath one's feet.

The other is to use horizontal force to give the airship a thrust.

In addition, the array above the flying awning will automatically unfold to form a barrier, forcing away the cold air from outside, which is even more magical.

Su Che stood proudly at the bow of the boat, rapidly pulling it upwards. The sensation of his blood rushing to his feet as he ascended was so exhilarating that Su Che wanted to let out a long roar.

A strong wind swept past the sides of the small boat, and the magnetic light surged.

Tian'an County quickly turned into a tiny speck at the foot of his feet. If Su Che had not already mastered the Lieque Thunder Eye, the lights of the human world would have been almost invisible.

"Be careful. I don't have much money left. Don't treat this thing like a flying sword."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King muttered a few words of dissatisfaction.

"You're quick to get the hang of things, kid. Alright, let's stop here for now."

The Hidden Dragon Flying Canopy rose higher and higher, eventually hanging above Tian'an County.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King reached out and patted Su Che on the shoulder.

"You come with me."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King turned around and faced backward.

Inside this small awning boat was a completely different world—a rather spacious and clean room furnished with a bed, a desk, and other items.

Su Che glanced at them and noticed that the furnishings looked to be from several hundred years ago.

That makes sense, considering this senior Yin-Yang Dharma King has been imprisoned in the Yin-Yang Realm for countless years, so he probably doesn't use this flying boat much. "I imagine you've never released your divine sense before, so today is a good opportunity for you to practice."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King pointed to the bed on the other side.

"sit."

Su Che walked over and sat cross-legged.

"You should be able to feel it now; the Hidden Dragon Flying Sparrow is constantly absorbing your magical power."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King sat facing Su Che, extending his right arm with a wisp of fire flickering on his index finger.

His own magical power was continuously flowing into the flying boat beneath him. Although it wasn't much, the flow of magical power was real and unmistakable.

“The formation of a spell, the operation of a magical artifact, and even breathing and life and death are essentially no different from this flame before us.”

"There must always be fuel, rising flames, and bursting light."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King explained.

"In other words, magic power is the fuel, the soul is the result of the sublimation of magic power, and the consciousness is the radiance that leaps out from it."

"Come, close your eyes."

Su Che kept his eyes tightly closed.

"Can you sense that point of spiritual light in the Niwan Palace, like a pivot or a window, from which magical power flows continuously?"

Within the Niwan Palace, the abode of the divine soul, lies the origin of all transcendence and all mystery.

Indeed, as the Yin-Yang Dharma King said, a calm and peaceful mind gives practitioners the illusion that they are like a flame, constantly burning.

No, it's not an illusion, but a truly real feeling.

Su Che felt as if a bright moon was hanging high in his Niwan Palace, but the moonlight seemed to be obscured by layers of dust and could not truly shine through.

The dust seemed to be a gap created by the interplay of light and shadow, slowly swirling within the Niwan Palace.

"Do you feel that there is a lot of impurity in your Niwan Palace?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che and said, "This kind of turbid substance is called the 'No-Birth Thought' by the Demonic Sect, the 'Neither Thought Nor Non-Thought' by the Buddhist Sect, and the 'Three Corpse Worms' by our Xuan Sect. It arises naturally from within the mind."

“Every action, every thought, is reflected in the mind and spirit, and the Three Corpse Worms manifest. Accumulating little by little, they will become a calamity. They can become inner demons, can attract heavenly tribulations, and are a hurdle on the path to immortality.”

"The demonic sects can refine it to create many extraordinary supernatural powers. The Buddhist sects suppress it, but for us Xuanmen people, of course we must sever the three corpses."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King sighed softly, "To eradicate the three corpses, one must attain immortality, so you should observe first."

"Your spirit is like fire, and your consciousness is like light. You have released your consciousness before, but that is an instinct that you know without having to seek it out. Today I will teach you a method to condense your consciousness and release it outward."

The secret teachings orally transmitted by the Yin-Yang Dharma King are actually a secret method created by the Northern Black Emperor to specifically train divine consciousness, called the "Dutian Sheshen Yugui Nianfa" (都天摄神御鬼念法).

Su Che listened to the secret teachings and adjusted his mind and soul according to the methods within.

His divine sense surged forth like a bright moon, and even though he was inside the inner room, it had already covered a hundred feet in front of and behind the small boat.

"Ruzi can be taught."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King was overjoyed: "Come, come, turn the boat around. Let's go find a good place!"
