Chapter 169 Pattern
After obtaining the secrets of "The True Method of Controlling Earth" and "The True Body of Hou Tu" from his master Xu Xuanzi, Zhong Lixiao couldn't wait to start practicing.

but.

He also knew the principle that "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools." Compared to starting to practice rashly, the most important thing is to open up a cave first.

After all, cultivation is a very private matter.

No matter how crude the cave is, the mentality will be different after all.

Not only yourself, but also outsiders.

As long as people are inside the cave, everyone will agree not to pry into what's going on inside the cave.

This is a habit, but also respect!
Just like a "lock", no matter how simple the lock is, it can tell the world that this house is private property.

The wind can come in, the rain can come in, but no one can come in without permission.

Silence is better than a thousand words.

of course.

Beware of gentlemen, not villains!
However, opening up a cave in Guizang Peak is not as easy as imagined.

It's all because of the geomagnetic energy here, which was artificially intervened by Master Xu Xuanzi.

Not to mention observing with the naked eye, even using spiritual consciousness to explore would make it difficult to detect any useful information for a while.

Moreover, the internal rules are very confusing. Soil is not necessarily soil, gold is not necessarily gold, and they cannot even be measured by common sense.

However, after all, he wanted to open up a cave for himself, and it also concerned his own path, so Zhong Lixiao dared not be careless at all.

of course.

It would be better if we could be a little further away from Master Xu Xuanzi's cave, and it would be even better if we could avoid Master's detection.

The core reason is that Zhong Lixiao has too many secrets, so there must be more secret spaces.

Seeing Zhong Lixiao measuring Guizang Peak bit by bit, planning to find a suitable location to open a cave, Xu Xuanzi immediately became happy.

Xu Xuanzi took out a purple clay teapot from his storage bag, happily poured a sip of tea into his mouth, and said with a smile, "My Guizang Peak may look very desolate on the outside, but there are indeed many good places. There are fourth-level spiritual veins hidden in it, and there are even fifth-level spiritual eyes, haha. As long as you can find them, your master will help you open a cave."

Even a level 5 spiritual eye?
Zhong Lixiao almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this.

You should know that in the entire Taoyuan Zhong family, the highest grade spiritual vein place, there is only one spiritual eye that barely reaches the third grade spiritual vein quality.

Strictly speaking, it is still a little short of the third-level spiritual vein quality.

The ancestor even used the help of multiple formations to barely allow his spiritual eyes to reach the third level.

But even so, this third-level spiritual eye was once one of the most important Feng Shui treasures of the Taoyuan Zhong family.

Practicing in it can achieve twice the result with half the effort and greatly increase the speed of practice.

Zhong Lixiao was totally unable to resist this temptation!
but.

At Guizang Peak, the moment the master opened his mouth he mentioned the fourth-level spiritual veins and even the fifth-level spiritual eye land. It was truly too arrogant!
After becoming Yuanying Zhenjun's apprentice, Zhong Lixiao once again enjoyed unprecedented "blessings" after learning such powerful skills as "Yu Tu Zhen Fa" and "Hou Tu Zhen Shen".

The treatment was so good that even Zhong Lixiao himself began to feel jealous.

Damn the privileged class.
Oh, it’s me who is enjoying the privilege, that’s okay!
Zhong Lixiao immediately became full of energy and began to measure the land under his feet more carefully.

then.

Zhong Lixiao found that he really felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, not knowing where to start.

This feeling is really hard to describe in words!

Even though he knew there was a mountain of gold right in front of him, he could never find the gold and in the end he could only beg for food while guarding the mountain of gold.

Don’t mention how depressed I am!
but.

Zhong Lixiao is not someone who would admit defeat so easily. The most important thing is that he has quite a few cards in his hand.

After a period of fruitless exploration, Zhong Lixiao used the power of the "Mountain Goddess" to his advantage.

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao seemed to have transformed into the god of Daliang Mountain.

Even though this place is not in Daliang Mountain and is not the sacred domain of the mountain goddess, it does not have any special blessings.

but.

The same land can present very different views when viewed through different “eyes”.

In previous lives, there was even a Zen saying: "If you look with the eyes of Dharma, nothing is untrue; if you look with the eyes of the world, nothing is untrue and untrue."

Especially in the eyes of the mountain god who is in charge of the land, the entire Guizang Peak feels a little different.

It is still very desolate and obscure, and gives people an overall feeling of being "stupid and clumsy", and has nothing to do with being steep and magnificent.

But through the observation of the Divine Eye "Divine Viewing Method", Zhong Lixiao actually saw some very obscure divine light faintly in Guizang Peak.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

Is it an illusion?
There is also a mountain god on Guizang Peak?

The reason why it is so shocking is that "immortals cannot enter the temple without invitation, and gods cannot enter the Taoist temple without invitation" is almost an unspoken rule.

This is the same as when the cave is set up with a formation to declare "Do Not Disturb" to the outside world.

It's a convention!

Guizang Peak is the place where the Yuanying Zhenjun's Dao is located, so how could there not be divine light? !

Does Master know?
After a moment, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

How could Master not know?

He is the Yuanying Zhenjun who stands at the top of the pyramid and has eaten more salt than rice.

In this world where fairies, demons, monsters, gods and humans coexist, even he had come into contact with gods early on, and even turned one of the mountain gods into his magical power.

How could a Yuanying Zhenjun like Master ignore the existence of gods?

Of course I know!

Perhaps incorporating Shintoism into it is a part of the secret of Master’s “Kunyu Wanguo Tudian”.

It has to be said that this high-threshold martial art created by Master Xu Xuanzi is making him more and more curious.

I just don't know what roles the many gods play in this set of exercises.

Could it be that it is learning from Wanxiang Peak and incorporating all things in the human world?

If we consider it from this perspective, perhaps it is possible.

After all, gods are also part of the universe.

Zhong Lixiao thought deeply about it and felt that the idea could be used as a reference.

Especially in helping the mountain goddess spread faith and expand her influence, he may have to increase his efforts and speed up his pace.

but.

What disappointed Zhong Lixiao was that even the "God-gazing Method" derived from Shintoism allowed him to faintly discover the existence of divine light.

But it didn't help him to anchor the spiritual vein!
Not to mention the fifth-level spiritual eye and the fourth-level spiritual vein, he couldn't even find the lowest-level third-level spiritual vein.

This mountain really deserves to be called "Gui Zang Peak", everything is waiting to happen.

Everything inside seems to be hidden in endless mysteries.

This feeling is like gambling on jade. One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, and one cut makes you wear linen. The main thing is excitement.

This made Zhong Lixiao speechless for a moment!
but.

This also completely inspired his high fighting spirit, and he began to combine cultivation with the most common means.

Although the world of immortal cultivation and the mortal world are two different worlds, they are still interconnected in some aspects.

for example.

The places that immortal cultivators think are Feng Shui treasures are mostly Feng Shui treasures in the eyes of mortals.

Zhong Lixiao's idea is to find a Feng Shui treasure land from the perspective of a mortal, and then gradually narrow the scope of exploration.

Finally, the location of the third or even fourth level spiritual vein was anchored.

When Xu Xuanzi saw this, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

I have to say, from this perspective, it is quite interesting to take in an apprentice to play with.

"Yawn, just take your time to search, I'm going back to the cave to sleep. Oh, I forgot to tell you, in the process of practicing the "Soil Controlling Method", a very critical part is to unite the earth."

"The higher the grade of the spiritual vein you choose, the more help it will provide to you in your subsequent practice of the 'Earth Controlling True Method' and the 'Earth True Body'!"

Xu Xuanzi yawned, relaxed after a long time, and plunged into Guizang Peak in a flash, telling Zhong Lixiao as if to show off -

Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I'll give it all to you. Go find it. I put everything there, inside Guizang Peak!

It is obvious that Xu Xuanzi has absolute confidence in his Guizang Peak!
Zhong Lixiao was speechless for a moment.

It seems that his master's character is even worse than he imagined!

but.

Zhong Lixiao immediately became excited when he thought about how the quality of the cave's spiritual veins would be helpful for his subsequent practice.

He really didn't believe it. He just didn't believe that he couldn't find the existence of the fourth-level earth vein!

The Golden Crow flies and the Jade Rabbit walks.

As time passed, Zhong Lixiao's thoughts became more and more empty. He planned to gradually become one with Guizang Peak in this way.

After a long period of thinking, Zhong Lixiao thought of one thing, Gui Zang essentially refers to "the earth".

The earth is boundless and empty, but in essence it still has the virtue of the earth.

Especially when he broke through the foundation-building stage, the very coincidental process of merging with the earth left a deep impression on him.

Zhong Lixiao planned to recreate that strange state through this deep level of "emptiness and silence".

Time passed by little by little inadvertently.

The sun rises and sets, the moon rises and sets.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but Zhong Lixiao was still unable to enter the mysterious state of enlightenment he had in the cave in Daliang Mountain.

This forced Zhong Lixiao to abandon this plan and start thinking of other ways.

Guizang Peak is truly too special. The longer Zhong Lixiao comprehends it, the more convinced he becomes that it is impossible to merge with this peak in a short period of time.

It’s not that he is too impetuous, the main reason is that this peak has an owner!
[You're forcing me to cheat, right?]
Zhong Lixiao was somewhat helpless. He originally did not want to cheat. He really wanted to use his own abilities to find the spiritual vein in Guizang Peak.

However, the reality does not allow him to do so!
then.

After sending out his spiritual consciousness again and scanning the area, Zhong Lixiao found that no one was paying attention to the area, so he quietly released Wu Cheng Wang. Then, Zhong Lixiao found helplessly that even if he sent out Wu Cheng Wang without a physical body, it still didn't work.

After King Wucheng entered Guizang Peak, he soon became lost.

Although I was only in there for a short while, the connection between me and him started to become intermittent, as if there was an endless amount of time and space between us.

Obviously, Guizang Peak has repeatedly considered the situation of soul invasion.

The "Outer God" who was invincible in the lower realms completely lost his former mystery after encountering the methods of Yuanying Zhenjun.

This also gave Zhong Lixiao a reminder——

There is a risk of being discovered if you use the magical power "King of Martial Arts" in front of a Nascent Soul expert.

then.

Zhong Lixiao felt that he was in even greater trouble!
No one knows what King Wucheng encountered in there, and now it seems that he is about to be completely destroyed.

Zhong Lixiao was speechless for a moment, but still chose to add a layer of "insurance" for King Wucheng.

Soon, King Wucheng began to move from virtual to real, and his ability to resist risks was greatly enhanced.

This method is exactly the ability of the supernatural power "behind the scenes".

Once you step onto the stage, you become a star.

During this process, Zhong Lixiao even deliberately dressed up as his master Xu Xuanzi in the "front and back of the stage" "costumes".

The reason for this is to take advantage.

It was also the product of a sudden flash of inspiration that came to him!

Guizang Peak looks desolate and without any defense, but in Zhong Lixiao's opinion, there are all kinds of restrictions and traps everywhere.

but.

If this person becomes the master of Xu Xuanzi, will the situation be different?
The "costumes" of the magical power "behind the stage" are very ingenious. Soon, after putting on the costumes and gaining substance, King Wucheng, who has transformed into the appearance of his master Xu Xuanzi, suddenly feels that the world in front of him has changed abruptly.

It’s like entering into another vast world!

Kunyue Mountain is magnificent, Zhonghua Mountain is beautiful.

The water is misty and the moon and sun are shining brightly.

Even though there was King Wucheng between them, and even though language was extremely limited and completely unable to describe the wonders of nature within, Zhong Lixiao was still deeply shocked.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao did not hesitate any longer, but followed the guidance of King Wucheng and eliminated the interference and influence of Guizang Peak bit by bit.

Especially after entering Guizang Peak, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt that he had an extra sense of protection.

It feels like returning home, with a sense of peace that comes from the heart.

It is completely different from what it was like before outside Guizang Peak.

Zhong Lixiao suddenly understood.

He understood that this must be the result of his master opening up the authority for him to enter and exit Guizang Peak freely.

If not for this, he would have rushed in recklessly and would not know what kind of danger he would face.

And like before, the master plunged into Guizang Peak in front of him, which was a blatant act of letting him win.

To be more precise, it is released into the sea!

Zhong Lixiao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he always felt that he had a lot to say, but he didn't know what words to use to express it.

Language is often so scarce and powerless.

There is a real meaning in this, and I have forgotten to discern it.

But soon he had nothing to say. He was completely overwhelmed by the magnificent and beautiful sight before him, as well as the extremely rich and intense spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The surprise and shock in Zhong Lixiao's eyes could not be concealed.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant that within Guizang Peak, even if it is not above the core spiritual vein, the grade of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has reached above level three.

Too arrogant!

The top treasure land that the Zhong family in Taoyuan coveted but could not obtain is even just the most common thing here.

When a poor man suddenly becomes rich, his chest and belly become bulging.

Sure enough, this sudden class leap is the most shocking!
Perhaps, this is one of the meanings of seeking immortality!
Every time you leap up a step, you will see the magnificence and grandeur that you have never seen before.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao put away Wucheng King and planned to re-measure his master's "cave" entirely on his own feet.

The sky.

A red sun hangs alone in the sky, spreading endless light to the earth.

The mountains stand one after another, each extremely steep and majestic, in stark contrast to the ordinary outside world.

The area is so vast that there is no end in sight.

It is really like a small world, not a "cave" in the usual sense.

Zhong Lixiao began to fly on his sword, enjoying himself in the endless mountains and rivers.

Sometimes I fly with cranes over the peaks and feel the freedom of the immortals.

Sometimes, I fly freely over the clear lake and compete with the fishes in swimming across the lake;

Sometimes he was intoxicated by the fragrance of the spiritual grains in the vast spiritual fields, and sometimes he was shocked by the raging earth fire from the endless volcanoes.

I always feel like there is a fiery phoenix sleeping inside!
Half an hour later.

Zhong Lixiao finally had a preliminary tour of this paradise, and finally figured out that the core of this paradise was composed of eight peaks.

They are located in the eight directions and eight poles, like eight pillars supporting the sky, together supporting the sky of this cave world.

The world will not collapse because of this!
Zhong Lixiao immediately understood that this should be the "Eight Extremes" that his master mentioned.

but.

During the tour, Zhong Lixiao could still clearly feel that five of the peaks were obviously more real.

These five peaks are located in the five directions of east, south, west, north and center respectively.

The extremely rich power of the five elements gathered on these five peaks and even in the surrounding areas, as if five kinds of brilliant divine lights were rippling.

It connects the sky and the earth and looks extremely gorgeous.

You can even see that these colorful lights are interweaving and transforming into each other.

All of this has greatly enriched the spiritual environment of heaven and earth inside Guizang Peak!

The area of the "cave" is so vast that even Zhong Lixiao doesn't know how his master Xu Xuanzi opened it up.

He flew on a sword all the way and saw all kinds of mountains and rivers along the way. Zhong Lixiao's eyes were broadened and his heart was filled with excitement.

How to describe it?
This small cave seems to encompass everything and integrates all the wonders of heaven and earth.

It always feels like entering into a world in a painting!

It is like a painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains. In a small frame, all the beautiful mountains and rivers in the world are depicted.

Zhong Lixiao was stunned.

Subconsciously, I thought of Guizang Peak’s unique skill - "Kunyu Wanguo Tudian".

Could it be that this cave is the embodiment of the achievements of the Kunyu World Atlas?

Zhong Lixiao's eyes were wide open and his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

After thinking about this, Zhong Lixiao deeply realized how shallow his vision was!

When one reaches the level of a master, one is already able to truly gather the five elements, open up space, and even turn the world upside down with a flip of the palm.

When he saw this world before, his first thought was wealth and splendor. It was too small!

Once your mindset changes, the scenery you see when you look at this cave will be completely different.

The first thing that Zhong Lixiao thought of was: Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? He can replace them!
He didn't mean to show off his filial piety. Zhong Lixiao's truest thought was that sooner or later he would reach the level of his master and create a paradise just for himself.

He even wants to surpass his master and refine all the true Eight Extremes and Eight Scenes.

And this may be the meaning of vision!
It is precisely because his horizons have been broadened and he has seen the heights that monks can reach that he has become more ambitious to catch up with and even surpass his predecessors.

It is for this reason that Zhong Lixiao is increasingly eager to cultivate "The True Method of Controlling the Earth" and "The True Body of Hou Tu" to the level of condensing the divine patterns and ultimately condensing the Earth Emperor Seal.

It was precisely because of this that he became even more eager to find the place with the fifth-level spiritual eye.

Half a day later.

After going through untold hardships, Zhong Lixiao finally found a huge lake.

The surface of this lake is like a mirror and looks extremely beautiful.

What made Zhong Lixiao feel even more magical was that there was an island in the middle of this "Mirror Lake".

In the middle of the lake island, there is another island lake.

In the middle of the lake, there is another island.

There is another lake in the middle of the island.

Layer upon layer, layer upon layer, it feels very interesting.

When the height is high enough, you can even vaguely see that the island in the middle of the lake and the lake in the middle of the island are like an eye embedded in the earth.

When he finally landed on the island in the middle of the lake and found the spiritual spring on the island, Zhong Lixiao's face was immediately filled with a happy smile.

He found the fifth-level spiritual eye place!
Zhong Lixiao's heart was filled with unimaginable happiness and sense of accomplishment.

For him, finding this level five spiritual eye place was really, really not easy.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but scoop up a handful of water from the Spirit Eye Spring and brought it to his mouth.

The spring water was extremely clear and sweet. Just a small handful of it seemed to make him feel refreshed from his throat to his whole body and then to his entire soul.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but scoop up several handfuls in succession and drank his fill at once.

During this process, Zhong Lixiao was stunned.

Is it an illusion?
Zhong Lixiao began to adjust his perspective carefully.

Soon, he finally saw the scene he wanted to see in this spring.

That's a tower!

A tower that Zhong Lixiao was not unfamiliar with - the Wuling Mingjing Tower!
Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but be surprised.

More and more curious!
