Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 95 Respect me as you respect God, and fear me as you fear Heaven!
After a while, Kou Zhong recovered and understood the meaning of "one has to bow his head under someone's eaves". He asked respectfully:
"Master, I believe you also understand the principle that even the best cook cannot cook without rice. Since you want to see us break through the Black Heaven Tribulation, you should teach us martial arts that will build the foundation of physical and mental training."

"Didn't I tell you that the first stage depends on your understanding? You have to rely on what you already have." Zhuang Bu Ran's smile grew wider.

"Judging from your luck, I believe you can rely on yourselves to supplement your martial arts foundation."

Seeing that the young man in blue shirt stopped talking, the two men were so angry that they were speechless and their bodies trembled slightly, obviously they understood something.

They were really speechless, so they walked to the other side and thought for a long time. Then Kou Zhong took out the "Eternal Life Secret" from his waist.

Now I am completely penniless, so I can only start with this door manual.

The two of them looked at it for a long time before Kou Zhong shouted, "The sixth picture is the most useful. It's best not to look at the others first."

Xu Ziling flipped through the seven pictures and looked at them all. He found that he had an inexplicable feeling for the last one. The sixth picture was exactly the same as the other pictures, and he didn't feel the slightest bit strange.

In the next ten days, in addition to eating, drinking, defecating and urinating normally, the two of them meditated and practiced according to the images. Perhaps because they had mastered the "Black Book", they possessed strange talents and had an extremely keen perception of the world, or perhaps they were just born with good luck.

Suddenly one day, Kou Zhong walked around the valley with his eyes closed, following the posture of walking in the image, while Xu Ziling had to lie down to feel comfortable. The movement and stillness were both very interesting.

As one person strolled in the valley, another person immersed himself in the stream, with only his face exposed. Soon, he was immersed in a strange state where he forgot about everything and was in a state of being half asleep and half awake.

However, not long after he entered the euphoria, Xu Ziling felt the soles of his feet getting hot and burning like fire. Then the heat surged upwards and flowed into various large and small meridians.

If the pain had not been completely different from the one he felt when the black tribulation struck a few days ago, he would have almost looked for the young man in blue to help him dispel the impending tribulation.

But this pain was as severe as the Black Sky Tribulation, a pain worse than death. However, perhaps the previous tribulation had increased his tolerance for pain, or perhaps the cold stream water could slightly alleviate the agony, so he decided to try his luck, just calm down and focus on one thing.

It makes no difference whether I die early or late. If I cannot survive this disaster, I will suffer less.

Kou Zhong was also suffering from unspeakable pain. He felt an extremely cold energy penetrating his head and then flowing into all the meridians and acupuncture points. He was almost frozen to death, and he couldn't help but run to keep his energy and blood flowing smoothly.

After holding on for two hours, the two men completely passed out.

The young man in blue shirt just watched coldly without taking any action.

At noon, Kou and Xu woke up one after another. They suddenly felt that their perception of the world became clearer and clearer, as if they had become a part of the world.

In the past, he had to rely on the hidden meridian power to be able to move his legs and feet lightly and move high, but now, with just a thought, he can be as light as a swallow and as fast as flying. There is also a stream of pure true energy in his body that flows through his limbs and bones.

"Not bad, he has always understood the essence of the 'Eternal Life Secret' and has cultivated the innate true qi from the very beginning."

When the two heard the voice with a hint of laughter, they couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and saw the young man in blue shirt slowly saying:
"Most warriors in the world practice external martial arts to strengthen their bodies, then cultivate internal skills to accumulate acquired true qi within their bodies. They then break through the shackles of acquired qi and open up the Mysterious Gate. This allows the true qi to return from acquired qi to innate qi, resonating with the natural world and achieving a state of endless internal strength."

"And you, through the 'Eternal Life Secret', have been able to cultivate innate true qi from the very beginning. I think it won't take long before you can make up for the lack of foundation in body and qi training."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this. Kou Zhong walked over quickly, bowed, and asked:

"Master, may I ask if we have a chance to resolve the Black Heaven Tribulation?"

Zhuang Bu Ran smiled and said:

"At the post-natal stage, he is just an ordinary warrior, and can be regarded as a passerby. There are countless of them in the martial arts world."

"Innate warriors can indeed make a name for themselves and be considered top-notch masters in the martial arts world. They can initially control their state of mind, stabilize their emotions, grasp their thoughts, and reach a state of profound understanding."

"Subtlety is both a process and a result. When one reaches a certain level of subtlety, every situation is understood with complete clarity. This state is called subtlety. The process of understanding every situation is also called subtlety."

"The Xiantian realm is so profound that one can control and utilize Qi to an extremely detailed degree. For example, when Qi is transmitted through the meridians, the amount and direction of the Qi must be precisely controlled to ensure that it can accurately hit the opponent's weak points, so that one can fully exert his combat power in a fight."

"Once you reach the Grandmaster realm, your mastery of subtle techniques is reflected in your application of your mindset. Besides meticulously controlling your internal Qi, your martial arts techniques also return to their most basic form. A seemingly simple strike contains countless variations, and can be adjusted instantly based on your opponent's reactions." "This allows you to confuse your opponent and create fatal flaws through subtle movements of your body. You can also sense the flow of your opponent's Qi through their meridians and even predict their subsequent actions."

"One step further, reaching the Grandmaster realm, where martial arts attainments reach their peak, the mind also reaches perfection, and there are no flaws in the body, giving rise to a glimpse of the unity of man and nature."

"And above the Grandmaster level is the realm of Heaven and Man. From the subtle control of one's own zhenqi to the vast integration of the power of heaven and earth, the core is the qualitative change of spiritual cultivation. It can blend with the energy of heaven and earth and reach the state of harmony between heaven and man."

"At this point, moves are no longer limited to internal strength or skills, but rather utilize the power of nature to attack or defend. Warriors at this level are no longer bound by moves, and can even create their own martial arts systems that are close to the Tao."

When Kou and Xu heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in their eyes, as if they were thinking about the changes in their senses after waking up.

"Aren't you excited? You've just mastered the art of martial arts, and you've already cultivated innate true energy. You've also discovered a sense of spiritual fusion with heaven and earth. This means there's hope for you to resolve the Black Heaven Tribulation."

The words of the young man in blue shirt made Kou and Xu's faces freeze immediately. They felt that they had no secrets at all in front of someone and were seen clearly by him.

"The Secret of Immortality teaches the art of seizing the essence of heaven and earth, strengthening one's foundation and nourishing one's vital energy. This runs counter to the current cultivation methods of various sects. Firstly, practitioners cannot possess any internal energy at all. Secondly, practitioners are required to practice with an unintentional mind."

Zhuang Bu Ran laughed and said:

"I was saying you're incredibly lucky. This Taoist tome seems tailor-made for you. Not to mention that Tribulation Power is different from True Qi, and you're also within the Thirty-One Hidden Veins."

"You don't know the various key points of martial arts, nor do you know what it means to be possessed by a demon. You must know that if a martial artist obtains this book, because they already have internal energy within their bodies, the two skills will conflict, so they cannot practice it."

“Those who do not practice martial arts will obtain this book because they know that this book is extraordinary and that even deliberate effort cannot achieve the unintentional intention.”

"Plus, the entry point to practicing the 'Eternal Life Secret' is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the acupuncture points and replenish oneself."

"The process of directly cultivating Xiantian Zhenqi is very similar to being possessed by a demon. Anyone who has even a passing understanding of martial arts wouldn't dare to continue cultivating."

“Thus, although it has been passed down from generation to generation, those who have obtained it already have a prejudice, and if it doesn’t work once they try it, they dare not continue to practice it.”

Xu Ziling's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in doubt:

"You just flipped through the 'Secrets of Immortality' and yet you managed to comprehend this treasure book that no one has understood for thousands of years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of force suddenly came. Even though Xu Ziling possessed the Taixu Eyes, which could see through the subtleties, that is, see through people's aura and the flaws in their martial arts, and had the extraordinary wisdom and the art of confusing the gods, he was still very strong.

But he could only watch helplessly as he was forced to kneel down by this force, his internal organs churning.

"You actually look down on me, your teacher. You really don't know what it means to respect your teacher."

"Master, Ziling was just excited for a moment and didn't mean to be disrespectful at all." Kou Zhong said hurriedly:

"After all, the Secret of Immortality has been lost to the world until now, and no one has been able to decipher its secrets. Even Yangzhou City's number one expert, Shi Long, who has been contemplating it for three years without leaving his house, has still gained nothing."

"Now that I've seen someone as learned and brilliant as my teacher, it's inevitable that I'll say something I shouldn't have said. Please forgive me, Master."

At this moment, the complacency that emerged in the two men's hearts was quickly shattered by the moody young man in blue.

"Zi Ling knows his mistake, please forgive me, Master."

"Master, I like the way you guys pretend to be convinced but are actually unwilling to obey. Once you have fully embarked on the path of martial arts and witnessed the splendor of the martial arts world, I am afraid you will never see this scene again, because you will..."

Zhuang Bu Ran sighed slightly and said:

"Respect me as you respect God, and fear me as you fear Heaven!"
