I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 167 Return and Hide

Zhong Lixiao’s first impression of Guizang Peak was that it was ordinary.

Especially when compared with the magnificence of other mountains, this mountain seems even more ordinary.

There is no magnificent scenery, no majestic momentum, and no magical root of nature that is as beautiful as the heaven and earth.

At first glance, it even seems quite low, desolate, and bare, just like an ordinary wilderness.

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "Do you feel disappointed? It seems that the Suzaku Peak standing in the south has countless mountain peaks and endless fire veins. It is simply a paradise for practicing fire magic."

"On the Qinglong Peak in the east, ancient trees tower into the sky, connecting the sky to the earth, and grow many high-grade immortal trees."

"Even the North Peak Xuanwu Peak is connected to endless water veins. For any cultivator in the world who practices water magic, it is an endless paradise."

Is this a test?
Zhong Lixiao observed and thought at the same time, but did not jump to conclusions.

To be honest, he had never imagined that Guizang Peak was so peculiar!

but.

Zhong Lixiao also knew that since Guizang Peak could be listed alongside the other seven peaks and be collectively revered as one of the "Eight Peaks and Eight Veins", it must have something outstanding.

But he didn't see any clues at first!
The eight peaks and eight veins of Baiyun Temple actually represent the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, plus the three peaks of Jiuxiao, Guizang and Wanxiang.

These three peaks essentially represent heaven, earth and man.

Guizang Peak represents the symbol of the earth.

At least in the planning of Baiyun Temple, it represents the earth.

The "earth" in the five elements is actually only a part of the earth.

Strictly speaking, the earth covers a much wider area than soil.

To some extent, it can even represent matter!

This mountain must have something special about it!
For cultivators, many times they do not just use their eyes to see the world.

Zhong Lixiao immediately began to extend his spiritual sense to scan and sense bit by bit.

But soon, Zhong Lixiao felt a little confused.

How to describe it?
Ordinary, so ordinary!

It's like an ordinary small hill, with withered vines, old trees, crows, and even a bit of a gloomy atmosphere. Could it be that everything is hidden inside and not visible?

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but think of the meaning of the word "Gui Zang".

Gui means to return.

To hide means to conceal and store away.

To preserve precious items, not to display or use them easily, in order to protect their preciousness and uniqueness.

Is it possible to remove all the prosperity and let this peak return to its original simplicity?
Great success is like imperfection, great skill is like clumsiness, return to simplicity
Suddenly, Zhong Lixiao thought of various words to describe this sublime state.

Xu Xuanzi: "How do you feel?"

Zhong Lixiao: "It's too ordinary, but it's precisely because it's so ordinary that it seems a little abnormal."

Xu Xuanzi smiled without saying anything and did not make any comments.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

"it is good."

A moment.

Xu Xuanzi led Zhong Lixiao to stand on the Guizang Peak. The most intuitive feeling was still very normal.

But Zhong Lixiao did not make a rash decision, but carefully observed the geomantic atmosphere of Guizang Peak.

Since the spiritual sense can't find any clues, let's just try another method.

Because of his magical power "Mountain Goddess", Zhong Lixiao has done quite a bit of research on the meaning of mountains, earth veins, and earth energy.

In particular, his experience and knowledge in sorting out the underground veins of Daliang Mountain made him understand the flow of the underground energy very well.

Overall, it is very much like a stream, with a certain running track.

Even if we are dispersed for various reasons during this process, in the end there will be a feeling that all rivers return to the sea.

When the local vein energy is rich enough, it can even form a spiritual vein on this basis.

After this observation, Zhong Lixiao immediately noticed something unusual.

How to describe it?
Normal ground temperature tends to be stable overall, but in fact it will change with the passage of seasons.

In spring, everything is flourishing and full of vitality.

The energy of the earth will also appear active, rising, and vigorous.

In summer, it will even go a step further and a feeling of transpiration will appear.

The same reason.

The ground's atmosphere shrinks in autumn and becomes almost dormant in winter.

At present, the movement of the earth's energy at Guizang Peak is in line with the characteristics of this season, but overall it seems a little too active!
The most important thing is that the flow paths of these ground gases no longer look like specific streams.

It becomes like a "ball", completing a cycle on its own.

Xu Xuanzi: "How?"

Zhong Lixiao: "The ground energy is active in a way that doesn't belong to this season. It feels like it's in a self-contained cycle. It's so weird!"

Xu Xuanzi's brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes became brighter as he looked at Zhong Lixiao.

It seems to be approval, and also seems to be amazed.

It was just a small test that he took on a whim, but Zhong Lixiao's performance was far beyond his imagination. As expected, Zhong Lixiao was born to be suitable for Guizang Peak.

Xu Xuanzi gently stroked the sparse beard on his chin and looked at Zhong Lixiao lovingly. His eyes were like those of an old farmer who had only intended to grow some good crops but accidentally dug up a treasure from the ground, with indescribable joy and relief.

"You are very sensitive, even more sensitive than I thought. I have really found a treasure this time."

Zhong Lixiao was immediately delighted when he heard this.

But to be honest, his mind was still completely confused - he had not been able to uncover the secret of Guizang Peak!
Xu Xuanzi: "You majored in the Earth Mother Technique, so you can use the Earth Escape Technique, right?"

"of course."

Zhong Lixiao is very confident about this.

The art of earth escape is one of the escape methods he is best at and most commonly used.

Xu Xuanzi pointed around and said, "Try it."

Zhong Lixiao was surprised.

Let him try the "Earth Escape Technique"?
Could it be that Guizang Peak has special restrictions that can make the "Earth Escape Technique" ineffective?
Zhong Lixiao was not surprised by this.

For this world of cultivation, since there are spells such as earth escape technique, there are naturally various ways to restrain it.

for example.

There is a great technique called pointing at the ground and turning it into steel.

It can forcibly transform the earth from earth attribute to gold attribute in a short period of time, which can specifically restrain the earth escape method.

However, since his master asked him to try, he naturally had to try.

In order to show his seriousness, Zhong Lixiao muttered something and recited the spell of "Earth Escape Technique".

It had been a long time since he had mastered the "Earth Escape Technique" and recited a spell so seriously.

What's worse, Zhong Lixiao was mentally prepared to hit his head against a steel plate.

call out!
What Zhong Lixiao didn't expect was that he dived into the ground.

What he didn't expect was that the underground didn't seem to be in the soil, but rather in the water.

this.
Zhong Lixiao didn't know what to say for a moment, but then he felt a strong sense of drowning, and his body sank involuntarily.

The light and the aura were gradually moving away from him, as if they were about to sink into endless darkness.

Zhong Lixiao was shocked.

He subconsciously changed to the water escape method, intending to jump out of the water like a dolphin.

But the next moment, Zhong Lixiao felt as if he was frozen.

My body was motionless, and even my thoughts seemed to be frozen. The cold penetrated my body and mind, and fear and terror slowly crept into my heart.

The next moment, Zhong Lixiao's body was grabbed out by a big hand.

Huhuhu~
Zhong Lixiao sucked the air greedily, as if he wanted to make up for what he had just lacked all at once.

but.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes were gradually filled with joy and curiosity.

Zhong Lixiao was incredulous and asked, "Master, what was that just now?"

Seeing that his good disciple Zhong Lixiao was completely stunned, Xu Xuanzi immediately laughed and said, "This method is the unique skill of my Guizang Peak, the Kunyu World Atlas."

???

Zhong Lixiao became more and more confused.

But he also knew that his master Xu Xuanzi would definitely explain it to him patiently.

Sure enough, Xu Xuanzi spoke again, "Do you know why my Guizang Peak is bare and lifeless?"

Zhong Lixiao immediately said the saying that great success may appear flawed, and great wisdom may appear foolish.

Xu Xuanzi burst into laughter, "Everyone in the world talks about great success, but how easy is it to achieve great success? Great success is like deficiency, great wisdom is like foolishness, and returning to simplicity is like returning to nature. This set of ideas can be used as a survival wisdom and a philosophy of life, which is not wrong."

"But for seekers like us, especially those who are still halfway up the mountain, it is too early to pursue the so-called 'great success is like a lack'."

Isn't it that great success is accompanied by imperfection?

So why is it so bald?

Is it
Xu Xuanzi said calmly, "To be frank, I haven't done well enough yet. I haven't yet completed the integration of the eight extremes, and I can't show the magnificent eight scenes."

Zhong Lixiao: “.”

Xu Xuanzi said dimly, "I am not perfect but lacking. I am really lacking."

Zhong Lixiao didn't know what to say for a moment. This master seemed to be unexpectedly straightforward!

He thought of all kinds of high-sounding reasons and words, but he didn't expect the real reason to be so simple and plain.

This made Zhong Lixiao think of the word "demystification". At any time, one should not add too many filters to the strong.

Who says Ximen Chuxue must wear white clothes that are brighter than snow and look ethereal and cannot be bald?
Zhong Lixiao also had some preliminary understanding of this Yuanying master, and asked directly, "Master, what was the power that caused me to drown and freeze?"

Xu Xuanzi immediately said proudly, "This is the true mystery of my Guizang Peak's unique skill, the Kunyu World Atlas."

"Kunyu is the earth, with pure Kun as the head, all things return and hide in the middle, and the world represents the scope, and the map represents the wonders of heaven and earth."

"First return to the hidden place, then the wonder will appear."

After Xu Xuanzi finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and the bare Guizang Peak began to undergo unusually mysterious changes.
