I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 94 The Chronicles of the Azure Emperor
Night!

A crescent moon hung in the sky.

The scattered light was so faint as to be invisible, but it was no problem at all for a tiger with night vision.

As night deepened, Chen Jing's consciousness descended upon the cultivation world once more, standing at the edge of the cliff overlooking Mingtan Village.

The village of Mingtan at the foot of the mountain was quiet, with no lights burning all night, as the villagers had gone to bed early.

Low-rise buildings with earthen walls and gray tiles are scattered here and there, as well as thatched huts. The surrounding area is filled with fields cultivated by the villagers, and there are also drying grounds with exposed natural rocks in the village.

On the western edge of Mingtan Village, there is a family with white walls and gray tiles, a two-courtyard house. It is clear at a glance that they are not ordinary villagers, but rather gentry who have retired from officialdom, returned to their hometown, bought a large amount of land, and passed down the tradition of farming and scholarship.

The tiger leaped down the cliff of Ye'er Mountain, concealed its presence, and quietly sneaked into Mingtan Village, arriving at the courtyard wall of this house: "If there is any family in Mingtan Village that has a book recording this area, this family is the most likely to be the one."

Mingtan Village, Zhou Family.

A yellow dog that guards the house smells the blood on a tiger.

He jumped out of the kennel and barked loudly at the yard wall, "Woof woof, woof woof woof..."

The barking of the dog woke the gatekeeper, who got up in the middle of the night and carefully patrolled the area with a lantern. Finding nothing unusual, he patted the big yellow dog's head and said, "Don't bark. You'll wake the young master and affect his studies tomorrow. I'll kill you and stew you for dog meat."

As soon as the gatekeeper returned to his residence, the yellow dog's four legs trembled uncontrollably, and it tried to bark at the courtyard wall again.

Chen Jing, however, wouldn't give them that chance. He activated the Martial Sect's Bixie Heart Seal with a heartfelt voice, unleashing a mental attack: [Tiger Fiend!]

The Martial Sect's Bi'an is a living form. Unlike the Lion's Roar of the Fearless Lion Seal, which evokes tiger might, Bi'an requires setting a corresponding seal for each action. The illusory flames wrapped around the black blade condensed into the shape of a tiger, and Bi'an's powerful tiger might transformed into a tiger's roar that entered Gouzi's mind.

"Woo!"

The big yellow dog rolled its eyes and fainted from fright.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Jing leaped into the Zhou family courtyard, landing silently. He then jumped to the main residence in the inner courtyard and searched for the study in a sunny spot.

"…………"

Chen Jing's tiger-like eyes scanned the bookshelf: the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, the Thousand Character Classic, the Analects...

Most of the books were Confucian classics used for elementary education, while there were few books recording astronomy, geography, history, and culture.

Finally, Tiger Claw took a history book called "The Great Enterprise" from the bookshelf, lay down next to the desk and began to read it quickly, finally understanding the background of the cultivation world in the Spirit Realm.

[The sun rises in the east, marking the beginning of the Green Emperor's reign.]

[Suiren passed on the fire, Fuxi opened the heavens and earth; from the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties… the great undertaking has continued for 6624 years.]

[Throughout the world, all people should know the name of this land: Cang; and should know the name of this nation: Daye.]

【………】

Chen Jing activated the spiritual seal of Emperor Wenzong.

With the blessing of the mimicry of true supernatural powers, one can quickly memorize this history book after just one glance.

Although the "Da Ye Zhi" mainly discusses the affairs of the current dynasty, it still uses three chapters to briefly mention major historical events and the evolution of dynasties throughout history.

The historical timeline is basically consistent with the real world. At least the famous events and historical figures that should be there are all there. Only some details may be different. However, starting from the 6604th year of the Qingdi era, no prototype can be found in reality.

[The Chronicles of the Azure Emperor: In 6604, a great change occurred in heaven and earth, and...] [People appeared out of thin air, revealing that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond the realms...]

Beneath the heavens, there are countless other realms, some self-contained with their own dynasties, others fragmented remnants of immortals and gods; the key lies in finding their nodes…

【………】

The great changes in heaven and earth should refer to the alienation of the rules, which not only manifested the power of magic and sainthood, but also led to the emergence of various spiritual realm nodes.

As the main world of the Daye Dynasty, Cang naturally does not call itself a spiritual realm. Apart from Cang, other large spiritual realms are called minor realms, while small spiritual realms are called the ruins of immortals and gods. The New Tang Dynasty belongs to a minor realm among the heavens.

Chen Jing continued turning the pages, moving from the great changes in the world to the main topic, beginning the history of the Daye Dynasty.

The story is somewhat clichéd: due to the distortion of the rules of heaven and earth and the manifestation of extraordinary beings, the world is thrown into chaos. Emperor Taizu of the Great Dynasty seizes the opportunity and, with the support of many cultivation sects, unifies the world.

Ultimately, they continued to uphold Confucianism as the dominant school of thought, and supported various sects in a manner similar to that of vassal kings, in exchange for the latter's seclusion and non-interference in secular rule.

"The Azure Emperor's reign: 6624 years,..."

Chen Jing closed the "Great Enterprise Chronicle," somewhat concerned about the chronology of the cultivation world, since the Azure Emperor Fuxi was a real historical figure.

He opened the drawer in his desk where a letter was kept. The most recent letter was dated 400 years into the Daye era. He murmured, "The cultivation world is currently in the Qingdi Era, around 7024, while the real world is in the Qingdi Era, which is 6974. There is a difference of fifty years."

"A time difference of twice the speed of spiritual time means that a time difference began to appear fifty years ago. Unless it was done intentionally to conceal the time when the cultivation world appeared, or some unexpected event occurred, the cultivation world appeared fifty years ago."

"The world of cultivation appeared far too early; fifty years ago, it was almost when the technology of the Yuanjie capsule was just beginning to take shape."

"........."

Chen Jing put the "Daye Zhi" back on the bookshelf.

While browsing the bookshelf, I picked out another book, "The Lesser Response Sutra".

The book was only about twenty pages long, and Chen Jing finished reading it in no time. His tiger-like eyes flashed with surprise: "A gentry family in a mountain village actually has a cultivation method."

Unlike the Confucian works on the bookshelf, the Xiaoganjing is a Taoist scripture, and also a method of cultivation.

Furthermore, unlike the Lotus Heart Seal and the Xuanzang True Scripture, the Lesser Response Scripture is not a cultivation method for immortals, but a practice method for ordinary people. It can help people stay healthy in old age, improve their immunity, and resist diseases.

The Little Response Sutra: It uses nine characters, Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, and Xing, to form a set of mantras and mudras in combination with hand gestures.

The hand seal formation speed is very slow.

But the purpose of casting the scriptures was to slow it down, so that the body could have time to gradually recover.

It is divided into three methods: upper, middle, and lower.

The above method emphasizes adjusting the body to its peak state, when the mind is sharp and the blood and energy are abundant. One then meditates, sensing the body's current state, while simultaneously practicing the Nine Syllable Mantra Mudra. When one's mind becomes dull in old age, or when one is ill or physically weak, one should frequently use this Nine Syllable Mantra Mudra.

The Middle Way involves visualizing the images of deities in scriptures, using the images to passively regulate the body and activate the mind, and then sensing the body to form the Nine Syllable Mantra Mudra.

The lower method is to practice body awareness when you are young. You don't need to think about anything or do anything. Just focus on your body and form the nine-syllable mantra mudra. This will have some effect, more or less.

Just as Chen Jinggang closed the "Minor Response Sutra," a candlelight appeared at the doorway, and a small figure pushed open the study door and asked, "Who is it? Who is in the study?"
