Chapter 270 The Nine Laws of Heaven and Man: Unpredictable and Illusory
As Su Che spoke, he slowly released his magical power.

The magical power connects heaven and earth, like spider webs extending deep underground, slowly absorbing the traces of yin energy hidden beneath the earth.

In just a short moment, the Prince of Wuling felt that the area before him was much brighter.

That was the appearance of the surrounding yin energy being absorbed by Su Che.

Up.

As the yin energy slowly rose, Su Che stretched out his finger and gently tapped the air, then took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve and tossed it into the air.

Strands of yin energy clung to the white paper, gradually condensing and taking shape in the air.

Wheels, spokes, roof...

A dark black carriage then appeared.

This is……

The Prince of Wuling looked curiously at Yan Qi to the side.

"Brother Su's illusion techniques can be considered to have reached the beginner level."

Yan Qi nodded, looking at the carriage whose details he didn't quite understand.

Su Che has put a lot of effort into illusion techniques these past few days, and it seems that he has indeed made progress today.

Using yin energy to perform illusions is a common tactic employed by ghosts and spirits, almost instinctively.

Su Che conceived the image of a carriage in his mind, then filled and enhanced it with yin energy, and under the effect of magic, he "created" a carriage.

Illusion is a form of deception, misrepresentation, and distortion of the original "truth."

Su Che is now transforming into that blank sheet of paper, and the result of that transformation is that carriage.

As long as the illusion that "distorts" the white paper is still working, the carriage transformed from the paper can run just like the real one.

In Su Che's view, the method of truth and illusion, as one of the nine methods of heaven and man, is, in the words of later generations, "the means of observation will affect the results of observation."

Although the Nine Methods of Heaven and Man are numbered "nine", they do not refer to the actual number "nine".

In Taoist scriptures, "nine" is considered the ultimate Yang number, representing infinity. The so-called Nine Laws of Heaven and Man are actually an overview that unifies and organizes various laws.

To distinguish truth from falsehood and seek the Great Way is a process that all spiritual practitioners have always pursued.

However, in this process, due to their own experiences, personalities, and even their own cultivation methods, they have different judgments about the so-called "truth".

Just like the same divine thunder that can slay demons and ward off evil, even though Huangtiandao and Shenxiaodao are the closest of the two sects, they will definitely have different uses.

The Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual must have subtle differences in its possession, whether it was in Su Che's hands or in Yu Lizi's hands.

What causes these differences is the "characteristics" of different practitioners. Although there may be occasional differences, they have no impact on the "truth" or the "Great Way".

The process of spiritual practice is itself a process of discerning truth from falsehood and pursuing the "Great Way" and "reality".

From this perspective, the method of truth and illusion, as one of the "Nine Methods of Heaven and Man," is truly a fundamental relationship between "Heaven and Earth" and "Man."

Illusion, on the other hand, is built between reality and illusion. If the methods of truth and illusion symbolize the process of practitioners constantly "removing falsehood and preserving truth", then illusion goes in the opposite direction, emphasizing "preserving truth and adding falsehood".

Just like the piece of paper Su Che threw out, which transformed into a carriage under the influence of magic.

From this point on, this "paper" looks like a carriage, and it is used like a carriage. But how much of this "paper" is actually a "carriage"?
The Prince of Wuling looked on with curiosity, while Yan Qi frowned and gestured with his fingers.

This is mainly because the "illusion technique" used by Su Che is none other than the Mirage Yuan Sword, which he is most familiar with.

Or it could be described as a method of concealing one's sword intent within the Mirage Sword, and modifying everything.

Using "sword intent" as a paintbrush and Xuanmen magic as ink, he finally transformed the blank paper in front of him into a carriage, stroke by stroke.

If such a move had occurred during the debates within the Sword Palace back then, it would have been considered a brilliant stroke by the proponents of the theory, and naturally, it would have been seen as the most unorthodox act by the ontological school.

However, as a newcomer, Yan Qi naturally had a broader perspective and felt that Su Che's move could perhaps be further developed. What if the mystical power within it were transformed into other methods?

Yan Qi had heard his master, Ren Fuzhou, say that he did not carry a sword because all things in heaven and earth were contained within its sheath.

At the time, Yan Qi didn't quite understand the meaning of his master's words, "All things in heaven and earth are within the sheath." However, now it seems that Su Che's actions can be considered an explanation of his master's words back then.

Today, Su Che merely used his own sword intent to manipulate the Taiyin Method of the Xuanmen, a minor technique situated between the two fundamental principles of the methods of life and death and the methods of yin and yang.

If I were to use my sword intent to govern more laws in the future, what kind of supernatural powers would I forge?
That was perhaps the true meaning of what Master meant by "all things in heaven and earth are within the sheath".

Yan Qi relaxed his mind and suddenly felt as if the clouds and mist had parted before his eyes, revealing a new kind of grandeur.

The feelings of bystanders are actually somewhat different from those of Su Che himself.

Su Che had used this system before when he sealed the group of soldier spirits in the Yin Ghost Cave, but at that time he used his own sword aura as the framework to serve as a cage for sealing the fierce soldier spirits.

However, using it again today, the insights are even more profound.

Yan Qi once said that the reason why the sword cultivation method is different from the Xuanmen is because the foundation of sword cultivation lies in the "Lingmei" among the Nine Methods of Heaven and Man.

Although Su Che and Yan Qi couldn't explain the meaning of "Lingmei" at the moment, they couldn't.

However, this sword intent is indeed very useful.

With a thought, Su Che released some of the soldier spirit that was bound within his body.

Dozens of soldier spirits manifested, and a murderous aura was naturally released.

kill.

With bloodshot eyes and mottled armor, almost at the same moment it appeared in the human world, the fierce warrior spirit locked its target on the Prince of Wuling beside it.

Su Che let out a cold snort.

These war spirits were indeed unruly and difficult to tame. Even though he had subdued them, the presence of the Liang royal bloodline nearby stirred up a trace of killing intent deep within these fierce ghosts.

Runes faintly appeared on the bodies of the soldier spirits, but Su Che simply opened his hand, and streams of Yin energy swallowed these soldier spirits.

Then, they changed again, each dressed in white, but looking rather dull-witted, each holding a banner that read "Get Rich Upon Seeing" and "Happiness Upon Opening the Door".

The four strongest of the demons transformed into four agile black horses, neighing incessantly.

"please."

Su Cheping stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

"interesting."

Madam Xie smiled and was the first to board the carriage.

The design of this carriage is flawed in several ways; the windows are crooked, and the outlines of the spokes are incomplete.

Her keen eyes spotted many subtle issues.

But this is precisely where illusion manifests.

As the saying goes, what is fake can never become real, and what is real can never become fake.

The illusions that are conjured up are certainly lacking in detail.

Madam Xie thought leisurely that Su Che's current level in just a few days was already quite remarkable. After all, only true masters could truly deceive heaven and earth, like those foxes in the Cloud Recesses of the East Sea.

I never noticed Xiao Su's demeanor and talent all these years ago. Perhaps it is true, as the Crown Prince said, that A Che is a man of inner talent, who usually keeps a low profile and only reveals his abilities at crucial moments.

She looked at Su Che and realized that His Majesty's move using Bailudong was indeed a bit too hasty.

The Prince of Wuling suppressed his curiosity and, together with Zhu'er, boarded the carriage.
