I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 122 Empty Nesters
"I lead the whole universe with my innate wisdom, and I am the king of all the changes in the whole universe."

"."

Zhao Zhijing shook his head, threw the inexplicable thoughts out of his mind, and continued to silently recite the Xiantian Gong in his hand.

At this time, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi were still on the Yunu Peak, guarding the gate for Zhao Zhijing to comprehend the Xiantian Gong.

When Zhao Zhijing received the Xiantian Gong, he thought that this secret book would belong to him from now on. Unexpectedly, Qiu Chuji said that he only had half a day to comprehend it.

This should be the so-called right to use but not the right to own.

It just so happened that the Cliff of Repentance was the most suitable place for retreat, so Zhao Zhijing walked in with the Xiantian Gong and took the time to comprehend and recite.

I was originally wondering which of my disciples would be locked up first, but it turned out that I, the master, was the first to be locked up.

It’s a bit like an empty-nest elderly person guarding the cliff of reflection, waiting for his disciples to have time to visit him.

Since I traveled to the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, I remember this was the first time I learned martial arts secrets on my own. It was both novel and troublesome.

If Xiantian Gong was such an easy skill, Wang Chongyang would not have been so precious to himself that he would not even be willing to teach it to the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

With Zhao Zhijing's original aptitude and character, he would not have been able to learn it. Fortunately, he now has decades of Xuanmen internal skills as a foundation, and with the help of his disciples' research on the classics of the three religions, he can find a way to practice.

It is somewhat similar to the principles of mathematics. First, you have to understand those hieroglyphic symbols and formulas, and then you will have the foundation for further progress.

"Tao is born from nothingness, and from this one qi, yin and yang are produced; yin and yang combine again to form three bodies, and the three bodies give birth to all things."

The innate Qi is often covered up by the acquired Qi. Only by adjusting one's state of mind, changing one's own breathing rhythm and depth, and allowing the acquired breathing to enter a true and stable state, can the innate Qi return to dominate one's spirit.

This is the principle of returning to the innate from the acquired.

"Use the art of nourishing life and consolidating the body to seek the nature of the original true consciousness, and you will find the way to the original clear nature."

It is not enough to focus only on maintaining life and consolidating physical form. One must also have a mind that is aware of the essence of oneself and the universe, in the deepest part of one's heart, in order to ultimately reach the root of things and human nature.

And applying all of this to the practice of internal energy is the method of practicing Xiantian Kung Fu.

By using the innate power to move internal force, one can more accurately control and sense the flow of internal force in the body, allowing the internal force to be freely sent and received according to the user's wishes.

Zhao Zhijing read Xiantian Gong from beginning to end several times and gained some understanding of the martial arts concepts it expressed.

According to his understanding, this practice is to gather the three innate treasures of Yuan Qi, Yuan Shen and Yuan Jing into one, and then to refine the void and merge with the Tao, so as to infinitely stimulate the potential of the human body.

"The ultimate goal of a cultivator is naturally to transcend and ascend to heaven, but I seem to have already reached this level?"

As long as you win the first place in the Huashan Sword Contest, you can break through the void and travel through the universe.

"Perhaps we can understand it from another perspective. Through thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, the ancient sages and saints have already figured out the way to enlightenment."

"It's just that human power is limited. The longest-lived person in history may be Xiaoyaozi, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect. Legend has it that he obtained a strange scripture in the Eternal Spring Valley of Dali, and created the Heaven and Earth Eternal Spring Gong based on it."

Zhao Zhijing thought of King Jinlun's Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Kung Fu, which was similar to the Quanzhen Sect's authentic internal Kung Fu and could be practiced by anyone, no matter how dumb they were.

However, it takes a very long time to practice step by step. In theory, it takes a thousand years to reach the highest level.

"So, in terms of calculation, I can definitely reach these realms in my lifetime."

"call"

Zhao Zhijing let out a long breath and made up his mind. He looked at the sky outside the cave and thought that there should be some time left, so he reviewed the Xiantian Gong again.

The essence of it has been stored in his mind. Although he does not have a photographic memory, this method of understanding while reading is better than rote memorization. "It seems that Master Chongyang believes that disciples who are not talented and comprehensible have no chance of practicing his Xiantian Gong."

"And the disciples who are talented and comprehensible enough will obviously not have the problem of not being able to remember."

In the Xiantian Gong, just the records and descriptions in the scriptures of the three religions would be a difficult threshold to cross without more than ten years or even dozens of years of hard work.

Zhao Zhijing picked up a stone from the ground, wanting to see how far he could go through his understanding of the Xiantian Kung Fu.

He used Xiantian Gong to guide his internal force and put it on the stone. Then he used finger force to push it out. With a "pop" sound, the stone hit the rock wall. Although it penetrated the wall, it also broke into pieces.

"Before I inserted the sword into the stone, because the sword never left my hand, I was able to keep my internal force attached to it."

“The intention of this flying stone attack is not to use the stone to penetrate the rock wall, but to use the internal force attached to it to achieve this effect.”

Although the current results are not satisfactory, if you continue to practice, you may be able to achieve the level of controlling the sword with Qi and building a three-foot Qi wall.

If we can really achieve the expected level, it will be the only way to restrain the Fairness Sect who specializes in using poison in the future!
"Brother, in the past half day, to what extent can Zhi Jing comprehend Xiantian Gong?"

While Zhao Zhijing was comprehending the Xiantian Gong in the cave, Wang Chuyi and Qiu Chuji were talking in low voices outside the cave, and it was obvious that they were also restless.

Qiu Chuji was originally sitting cross-legged and practicing Qigong, but when he heard his junior fellow disciple's question, he slowly exhaled the foul air in his chest.

"You and I both saw the sword in the stone at the mountain gate. When I faced him just now, I could feel his pure inner strength. I think he is not inferior to the head brother."

"Is Zhi Jing really at this level?"

Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "I was already deeply surprised when he caused a big disturbance in the Sanqing Temple last time. Now, I feel that everything is predestined."

"You know Guo Jing well. When he first entered the martial arts world, he relied on you to protect him in Prince Zhao's mansion so that he could escape unscathed."

Qiu Chuji glanced in the direction of the cave and continued, "Who could have expected that, just a few years later, he would be able to fight against the Five Great Masters at the second Huashan Sword Contest?"

Wang Chuyi nodded first, then shook his head. Guo Jing had received so many opportunities in those years that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But Zhao Zhijing stayed in Chongyang Palace for a long time, and it was only more than a year, which is even more incredible than Guo Jing.

"Besides, although Jing'er has a deep connection with our Quanzhen Sect, he is not a disciple of our Quanzhen Sect after all. When Master Yideng treated Huang Rong's injuries, he also passed on the Xiantian Gong to him."

"Who can be sure then that Jing'er will never make a mistake again?"

As the two were talking, the sun gradually sank in the sky, shrouding the top of the Jade Maiden Peak in a faint twilight.

"So what the head brother said is correct, no matter how much Zhijing can understand, or what happens in the future."

"We just need to follow our master's instructions and do the things at hand well, that's all."
