Chapter 2.11 of 2013: The Great Art of Drinking Light

"But she is a highly accomplished disciple of the Spider Demon, the White Bone Demon of the Spider Cave." The old monk with the bald brush indeed recognized her.

"Not bad." Bai Jingjing had white hair and a beautiful face, with an ethereal and otherworldly appearance. It was unknown how many years she had cultivated through countless reincarnations.

"I've heard you possess the 'Moonlight Box,' a priceless treasure that allows travel through five hundred years, reliving past lives and glimpsing future ones. Do you actually have such a thing?" The bald-headed monk was secretly on guard. As the saying goes, "Those who come are not friendly, and those who come with good intentions do not come." Since you possess the Moonlight Box, which can prevent the invasion of malevolent energy, your continued provocation must have ulterior motives. Most likely, you've come for that Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

“Just as the master said.” Bai Jingjing smiled, “Time is a river, and I am a boat. The light of my heart is the oar, illuminating the past and present. I do not linger on the past, nor do I anticipate the future. With a single thought in the present moment, I reach all directions. I drink in the light and never grow old, I preserve the scenery and live forever. A thousand years pass in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting dream.”

"Hiss—" Upon hearing this, the old monk with the bald brush felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. After a moment's thought, his face showed a look of horror: "Could it be that the female benefactor has actually mastered the 'Moonlight Treasure Box' and comprehended a peerless divine skill?"

“It is indeed the ‘Great Method of Drinking Light’.” Bai Jingjing truthfully replied, “As the master said, the ‘Moonlight Treasure Box’ is already my natal magic weapon.”

“No wonder, no wonder.” The old monk with the bald brush couldn’t help but sigh: “The female benefactor was able to see through my mural world, it must be because of the ‘Great Method of Drinking Light’.”

“Master, as the saying goes, ‘One thought can make you a Buddha, and another can make you a demon.’ Why not ‘lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot’?” Bai Jingjing advised kindly.

"Gods and Buddhas do not avoid demons, so why should demons and Buddhas bother with gods and Buddhas?" The old monk with the bald pen put his palms together and said, "Female benefactor, there is no point in saying more, let's get started."

"Master, please be careful." Bai Jingjing activated her divine power, explaining the key points of the technique to demonstrate her magnanimity: "The Great Art of Drinking Light is divided into 'Three Lights and Three Realms.'"

First Realm: Drinking in the light to enter a meditative state, preserving the beauty and prolonging life.

Cultivation Method: Sit quietly on a moonlit night or during the day, focusing your mind on the space between your eyebrows, visualizing yourself as a crystal bottle receiving the essence of the sun and moon. Initially, you will feel warmth and lightness in your body, gradually becoming radiant, maintaining your youthful appearance, significantly delaying aging, and laying the foundation for longevity.

The first signs of supernatural powers: By looking inward, one can clearly "see" the "marks" of old wounds and hidden ailments left by time, and draw light to cleanse and accelerate healing.

The second stage: Looking back with inner light, learning from the past to know the future.

Cultivation Method: Divine thought merges with light, no longer confined to oneself. One can perceive the "past light and shadow" remaining on every blade of grass, every brick and tile, recreating their appearance from days, months, or even years ago. One can also see fragments of future fortune or misfortune for oneself or others in a short period (several days) during meditation.

Minor Mastery of Supernatural Power: "Time Reversal" - Allows for a few breaths of time reversal within a small area (several feet around the body), enough to dodge a fatal attack or recover from a minor mistake.

The third realm: Unity of divine light, the traveler of time.

Cultivation Method: God is light, and light is God. The divine soul can separate from the physical body and transform into a "divine light," following the timeline of all things in the world, either flowing backward or forward.

Mastery of Supernatural Powers: "Divine Travel to the Past"—Divine light leaves the body, reversing the flow of time to personally experience past events. Initially, one can only observe, like watching a play; later, slight intervention is possible, but one must bear enormous karmic backlash. "Divine Travel to the Future"—Divine light flows downstream, peering into countless possibilities of the future. The future is unpredictable, and everything seen is a "possibility," but it consumes a great deal of mental energy, making it easy to get lost in the chaotic illusions of the future.

Martial arts are divided into four systems and nine levels.

"The Blade of Time": Using time as a sharp blade to sever the past and the future.

First move: "Flowing Light Blade". Internal force is transformed into a blade of light, its sharpness surpassing that of ordinary iron.

The second move: "Sword of Time". The sword light contains the meaning of the passage of time, accelerating the aging of the enemy.

The third move: "Time Slash". It can sever the connection between the opponent and their past cultivation.

The fourth move: "Sword of the Future". The sword technique contains future changes, and the moves change with the enemy.

The fifth technique: "Causal Blade". The blade's light follows the line of cause and effect, and it is sure to hit its target.

The sixth technique: "Space-Time Rift". Tearing apart space-time to create a brief void rift that devours everything.

The seventh move: "Sword of Reincarnation". The sword light draws upon the power of reincarnation, and the consciousness of the one struck falls into the cycle of rebirth.

The eighth move: "Fleeting Brilliance". The sword speed reaches its limit, like a white horse flashing past a crack, impossible to defend against.

Ninth Form: "Eternal Light". The ultimate sword technique, where the blade of light passes, time and space freeze, and only I remain.

"Time and Space Walk": Walking through time, transcending the constraints of space.

First move: "Floating Light Step". The body transforms into a stream of light, and speed increases dramatically. Second move: "Shadow Strike Technique". Allows brief suspension in the air, walking on light.

The third move: "Past Step". The footwork subtly follows the trajectory of the past, anticipating all attacks.

The fourth move: "Future Flash". This movement technique incorporates future changes, automatically avoiding danger.

Fifth technique: "Time Leap". Short-distance teleportation, ignoring obstacles.

The sixth technique: "Space-Time Overlap". It distorts space, allowing one to travel a thousand miles in a single step.

The seventh technique: "Time Reversal". When injured, it can instantly return you to the position you were in a few breaths ago.

Eighth move: "Parallel Step". Allows you to briefly step into a parallel universe, making you immune to all attacks.

The Ninth Form: "Free and Easy Wandering". One's spirit roams the vast void, and can set foot in the past and the future.

"The Hand of Reincarnation": Holding the reincarnation of time and controlling the trajectory of life.

First move: "Light-Accelerating Hand". Accelerates time locally to ripen all things.

The second move: "Delaying Hand". It slows down the time in the area, trapping the enemy in a slowed-down zone.

The third technique: "Rewinding Hand". It reverses time on a small scale to undo mistakes.

The fourth move: "Life-Stealing Hand". It steals another's lifespan and uses it to nourish oneself.

The fifth technique: "The Hand of Rejuvenation". Reversing one's time and returning to youth.

Sixth move: "No Empty Hands". Freeze local spacetime, and only I move.

The seventh technique: "Cause and Effect Hand". It subtly adjusts past causes to change present effects.

Eighth move: "Reincarnation Hand". Casts the enemy into a time loop, repeating the cycle forever.

Ninth Technique: "Creation Hand". The ultimate secret, creating a fragment of spacetime from nothingness.

"The Curse of Time": Use the incantation to drive away time, and the law will follow your words.

First technique: "Precognition Mantra". To glimpse fragments of the future and foresee good or bad fortune.

The second move: "Tracing the Source Incantation". Tracing back to the source, recreating the past scene.

The third technique: "The Curse of Aging". This incantation accelerates the passing of life.

The fourth technique: "Immobilization Spell". Words become law, freezing the target's moment in time.

Fifth technique: "Forgetting Spell". Erases memories of a specific period of time.

The sixth technique: "Reincarnation Mantra". The power of the mantra is activated, causing the target to relive their past.

The seventh technique: "Karma Curse". A curse technique that intervenes in the past from a distance.

Eighth move: "Demon-Sealing Spell". Constructs a time-space prison using incantations.

Ninth Technique: "Oracle Technique". Speaking of divine authority, defining the future.

Light-based martial arts excel in destruction, turning time into a sharp blade; teleportation techniques are known for their agility, transcending the constraints of time and space; time manipulation wins through change, controlling the trajectory of life; time-based magic is renowned for its mystery, its words becoming law, determining the fate of the world.

After carefully listening to the "Three Lights and Three Realms" "Great Method of Drinking Light," and the four systems and nine levels of "Blade of Time," "Step of Time and Space," "Hand of Reincarnation," and "Curse of Years," the old monk with the bald brush silently memorized it. He also revealed the techniques he practiced to show fairness: "Female benefactor, you should know that my natal magic weapon is called the 'Yin-Yang Judge's Brush.' The technique I practice is called the 'Great Method of Yin-Yang Painted Skin': It is not within the Three Realms, but transcends the Five Elements. Holding the brush, I determine Yin and Yang, and paint skin to usurp reincarnation. I cut the Yellow Springs for ink and seize life for clothing. When the nine levels of painted skin are completed, I will become the Dharma King."
